Contract Prince

Chapter 19 Chess Language

What Gu Yunjing is holding on to is the sunspot, what Xiao Zhan is holding on to is the red stone.Out of courtesy, Gu Yunjing asked the opponent to play the chess piece first, and Xiao Zhan made the chess piece after a little deliberation.

It is true that you can play chess as you like.By looking at the direction of the opponent's chess pieces, one can roughly guess his inner thoughts and character.Xiao Zhan's chess skills are the same as his personality, too sharp.Gu Yunjing looked at the menacing Hongzi, shook her head and chuckled.

Both sides played ten moves each, and Xiao Zhan's disadvantage was revealed.He blindly pursues offense and wants to show his ability as much as possible, but neglects defense, resulting in the loss of soldiers and generals for a while.

Gu Yunjing's two dark horses broke into Hongzi's camp, and easily overwhelmed Hongzi's army.As soon as Xiao Zhan realized it, he was already defeated.

He looked at the two black horses, feeling annoyed and annoyed. He hadn't paid attention to the two black horses whose feet were in the way and were hiding in the corner.

Gu Yunjing said lightly: "Your Highness lost."

After all, Xiao Zhan is a prince, so he still has some arrogance. Seeing that Hongzi under his camp loses so ugly, he is very unwilling.He frowned and said: "Play again, I was negligent just now! This time I will definitely kill you!"

"If you lose chess, you can start again. If you lose the country, can you start again?" Gu Yunjing picked up the chess piece and rubbed it gently in his palm, and said with downcast eyes, "The people of the emperor's family fight openly and covertly to fight for the throne. Constantly, even if you make a wrong move, you will fall into a miserable situation that will never be restored. The so-called one wrong move will ruin the whole game."

She stared at Xiao Zhan, and said solemnly: "If your Highness does not want to be in a miserable situation, you must think twice before making a move. You are not just playing chess, but Jiangshan Sheji!"

The young man's warm and long voice shook Xiao Zhan's heart like Huang Zhong Dalu, and he was secretly ashamed of what he said just now.Xiao Zhan said stunned: "What the son-in-law said is true, it's because the king didn't think carefully."

While clearing away the chess pieces on the table, Gu Yunjing asked solemnly, "Does Your Highness know where you lost your chess?"

Xiao Zhan said without hesitation: "I underestimated the ability of your two black horses. I thought they would be ineffective if they were blocked and trapped in a corner. I never expected that they would eventually defeat the general army."

Gu Yunjing smiled and said: "That's right, although these two dark horses were trapped in the corner, they were always looking for and waiting for an opportunity. They were blocked only temporarily, and your son made room for them as soon as he left. "

"The current situation of Your Highness is like a dark horse. Your Majesty's abolition of your crown prince is like a black horse's horse's feet being blocked." The young man pondered for a moment, and said slowly, "But it doesn't matter. Didn't the dark horse win the commander in the end?"

Xiao Zhan heard the meaning behind Gu Yunjing's words, and his gloomy eyes suddenly brightened: "Is the son-in-law asking me to imitate the black horse in chess? Keep a low profile and bide your time?"

"That's right." Gu Yunjing raised his hands in a bow and said, "The current situation in the court is grim. Among the princes, King Zhao is the most powerful, but King Duan is the most intelligent. Now that His Highness is deposed, the candidate for the crown prince is most likely in the It was born among them. There is only one crown prince, and there are two contenders, why don't your highness watch the fire from the other side?"

"Since Your Highness is King An, you should act according to An's title. But when it comes to matters in the court, what's wrong with being an idle prince quietly?"

Gu Yunjing smiled slightly: "His Majesty has been the crown prince for many years, and he has often been suspected by His Majesty. This will give you peace of mind and relief."

At this moment Xiao Zhan suddenly realized how muddled his previous actions were.In order to make his father appreciate him even more, he always spared no effort to prove himself and express himself. Although he has accumulated a good reputation, what he got in exchange was not all his father's appreciation. Behind the appreciation is more suspicion!

Xiao Zhan's heart was filled with boiling blood, he slapped his head and said excitedly: "Don't ask about world affairs is to better hide your strength and bide your time. This way you can avoid the fight and avoid the jealousy of your father. Wonderful!"

The thin young man in front of him, no matter his demeanor or his movements, always gives people a sense of insight into the world.Although Xiao Zhan is familiar with the books of sages and sages, Gu Yunjing's thoughtfulness is absolutely beyond his reach.

It is said that Zhenyuan Hou's son is sick and weak, who would have known that this skinny boy could have such a great talent?Xiao Zhan looked sincerely, and said in awe: "Listening to the son-in-law's words is better than reading ten years of books. Xiao Zhan is taught."

Gu Yunjing's talent made him admire him, and without realizing it, Xiao Zhan had already changed his self-proclaimed title. He used to call himself the king and now he called himself a taboo.

"Your Highness, thank you." Gu Yunjing still admired Xiao Zhan very much. After all, it is very rare for a prince who has been a prince for decades to be taught with such an open mind.

Xiao Zhan's eyes were full of gratitude, and he bowed deeply to Gu Yunjing, "This time I am in deep prison, I think it must be the son-in-law who rescued me. Thank you Xiao Zhan."

Gu Yunjing pointed to Xiao Muxue: "If your Highness really wants to thank you, you can thank the princess. The princess has been working hard for your highness's affairs."

Xiao Zhan said softly: "Sister Xue'er, Brother Huang has caused you trouble."

When he was young, Xiao Zhan always defended Xiao Muxue in every way. In his heart, this sister was a treasure. He was afraid of melting in his mouth and melting in his hands.

Xiao Muxue lost her mother since she was a child. Under her cold appearance, she actually has a fragile heart.Xiao Zhan knows that this younger sister needs to be cherished and protected the most, so as an elder brother, he does his best to give his younger sister care and love.

Looking at the tall and handsome young man, Xiao Muxue's mind reappeared in the warm image of her childhood, tenderness flickered between her brows and eyes, she said softly: "Xue'er lost her mother since she was young, thanks to the love of the emperor brother and mother, , Only then did I have a happy and warm childhood. Now that my brother is being framed, how can Xue Er just sit back and watch? Why should my brother be so polite?"

Speaking of being framed by others, Xiao Zhan suddenly frowned, and said angrily: "This time, Xiao Cong must have framed me! If you don't avenge this, you will be a man in vain!"

Xiao Muxue lightly parted her fragrant lips, shook her head and said, "Brother Huang, Xiao Cong is not the murderer of this witchcraft case."

Xiao Zhan: "..."
