Who says sleep is not spiritual practice?

Chapter 277 Just because it's a congratulatory gift, I have to drink it quickly!

Jixia School Palace.

The courtyard where Fan Yu was.

Two of the most outstanding students in the academy are playing chess.

Since it was late at night, the girl Xiao Nian held an oil lamp to illuminate the two of them.

The little girl stood aside, not saying a word, for fear of disturbing the two gentlemen, she sneaked a few glances from time to time, and her eyes were on the appearance of the two, not the chessboard.

Although Fan Yu taught her the basics of Go in the past two months, she was stupid and couldn't remember things, so she couldn't understand the situation on the board.

However, from the behavior of Fan Yu and Jiang Qingshu, it is not difficult to see that it should be my husband who has the upper hand.

Because although Jiang Qingshu's expression was flawless, beads of sweat were already dripping from his forehead.

It's winter night now, so the sweat is naturally not from the heat.

Therefore, he must be extremely anxious in his heart, and his mind is also doing overloaded calculations.

In addition...

Jiang Qingshu took longer and longer to think about each move, but the water in the teacup did not move at all.

On the other hand, Fan Yu didn't have a single drop of sweat on his forehead, and he had an unruly smile on his face. Every time he made a move, he didn't think about it, it was ridiculously fast, and the teacup had already bottomed out.

Obviously very easy.

So in the eyes of the little girl, the outcome of this round is already very clear!

My husband is the first person among the students of this generation to realize the innate epiphany. Although Jiang Qingshu is also a leader among the students, he is just an ordinary person after all, and his strength is vastly different. How can he win?
After I was brought into the school by my husband, I have already seen him play chess with more than a dozen teachers in the school and veteran officials in the court. These people are all self-esteemed people, more than half of them are innate, and three of them are Haoyue, but After several rounds of chess games, Mr. has not lost a single time!
Even if they faced those three Haoyues, it would only end in a draw.

Afterwards, the little girl was still in Fan Yu when she was drunk and heard him complaining that playing chess with this group of people was very boring. Every move had to be measured. A big man lost face!

Therefore, the little girl has always believed that her husband's chess skills should be first-class in this academy!
Except for the old Mr. Jijiu Xun who seldom shows up and the two old gentlemen in the Sunshine Realm, no one should be able to beat him for sure!
Jiang Qingshu came here with chess tonight, it is tantamount to humiliating himself!

Thinking of this, the little girl couldn't help looking at Jiang Qingshu with a little more pity.

At this time, Fan Yu had just dropped a sunspot, and at the same time drank the last sip of water in the teacup.

Now it was Jiang Qing's turn to settle down.

The little girl sighed inwardly, and could not help complaining secretly:

"This Mr. Jiang is too ignorant of etiquette!"

"Several hours later, my husband is going to get married. He came to play chess at this time. It's nothing more than playing chess, but he is clearly showing signs of decline, and he is still struggling to die. He has been thinking about it for so long every time he takes it. It is clear that he is out of concern for face Admit defeat!"

"It's fine if you procrastinate on weekdays, but not today!"

"This game of chess has been played for an hour and a half. If it continues like this for a few more hours, what should I do if the auspicious time passes and the marriage is delayed?"

"This is a marriage bestowed by His Majesty, there can be no mistakes!"

Thinking of this, the little girl moved her lips, couldn't help but want to be a villain, and urged Jiang Qingshu to settle down quickly.

But just when she was about to speak, she saw Jiang Qingshu squeeze a white piece out of the chess jar.

This time, he didn't hesitate, but directly put the chess pieces on the chessboard, and at the same time picked up the teacup, and drank the full cup of cold tea in one gulp!

After drinking the tea, he wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and bowed to Fan Yu:
"Brother Fan, accept it."

"..."

Seeing this scene, the little girl couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

What did she just hear?
Jiang Qingshu said "acceptance"?
Could it be...

Sir lost?

The little girl stared wide-eyed in fright, looked at Fan Yu, and asked him for the result.

But Fan Yu was still smiling and his eyes were calm.

"call--"

Seeing this, the little girl couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Scared me!"

"This Mr. Jiang is too arrogant. How can he open his mouth to admit defeat before his opponent admits defeat?"

"Mr. Mingming hasn't lost yet!"

"Hmph, wait for Mr. Hui to make a move to revitalize the chess game, let's see if you have anything to say?"

The little girl raised her eyebrows lightly, and looked at Jiang Qingshu with dissatisfaction and provocation in her eyes.

But the next moment...

Fan Yu's laughter suddenly came from her ear:

"Haha, wonderful, wonderful, I didn't expect Brother Jiang to hide such a trick!"

"I lost this game!"

"..."

Hearing this, the little girl was stunned for a moment.

"Mister...Mister actually admitted that he was defeated?"

"how is this possible?"

Since she came to the academy, this was the first time she saw Fan Yu lose in a chess game!
And still lost to an ordinary person!
"Shouldn't be!"

"Judging from the status just now, it is clear that it is easier for Mr. Jiang to make a move, but it is more difficult for Mr. Jiang!"

"Mr. said that [-]% of the victory or defeat in chess lies in skill, and [-]% lies in mentality. I think Mr. Jiang's mentality just now is obviously not as good as that of your husband. Could it be..."

"Is his skill much higher than that of Mr.?"

The little girl couldn't accept this result.

"That's right! Mr. Jiang must have played some tricks!"

"Everything he did before was just pretending. In order to show his weakness to the enemy and make the gentleman take it lightly, he actually planted his hands in secret..."

"That's not right, if the master can't see the mastery, isn't it because the skills are not good?"

The little girl looked sad, but soon had a flash of inspiration:
"Ah, I see!"

"Mr. didn't use all his strength in this round. He made every move extremely fast, and it was clear that he was giving way to Mr. Jiang! And Mr. Jiang had to think over and over every time he made a move, and he tried his best to win with difficulty at the end. It's not fair at all!"

After finally finding an excuse for her husband to lose, the little girl finally accepted Jiang Qingshu's victory.

at the same time.

However, Fan Yu didn't seem to care about the outcome of the chess game. Instead, his right hand kept fiddling with the pieces on the chessboard, replaying the game.

After a long time, he gave Jiang Qingshu a thumbs up, and praised him without hesitation:
"Brother Jiang is a great talent!"

"Come again! Come again!"

After speaking, he raised his hand and patted the back of the little girl's head lightly, and said with a smile:
"What are you doing in a daze? Go make another pot of tea!"

"No, go warm a pot of wine! Make it stronger!"

"It's rare to meet an opponent today, so drink to your heart's content!"

The little girl frowned and reminded:
"Sir, in a few hours, you will be married to a princess of the royal family!"

"It's all right to play another game of chess, most of the time will not be missed, but if you drink too much and get drunk, wouldn't it be a joke at the wedding?"

"If His Majesty blames it..."

Hearing the word "big marriage", Jiang Qingshu's eyes couldn't help showing a hint of apology.

He won the first game by luck.

Even if it's a little invincible.

He could tell that Fan Yu didn't go all out, at least if the other party took a few more breaths with each step, then his last coup would probably be seen!
but……

Winning without fighting is also winning!
According to the agreement with Prince Jing Yuan, the other party would take action to prevent this marriage, so that Fan Yu would not be able to marry Princess Jing Li, who was originally Jiang Qingyu's maid.

I can be regarded as doing something for my younger brother Jiang Qingyu!

Next, it depends on whether the other party can arrive in the capital on time, and resolve the remaining matters personally.

As for Fan Yu...

Jiang Qingshu could only say sorry.

In his life, he helped Crown Prince Jing Yuan plot against many people, but it was the first time that he ruined a marriage.

After doing this, I'm afraid that I and Fan Yu will only be mortal enemies in the future!

Although he admired him very much, he did everything for his younger brother Jiang Qingyu and had no regrets.

At this moment, Fan Yu still had a smile on his face, as if he hadn't realized that his marriage had been messed up by the opponent in front of him:
"Xiao Nian, don't worry about marriage!"

"Brother Jiang and I both have the elegance to play chess, so naturally we have to enjoy ourselves to the fullest! Don't worry, I won't drink too much today!"

"Don't use your majesty to pressure me."

"Your Majesty is a wise gentleman, and he is thirsty for talents. Brother Jiang and I are the two most dazzling students in the academy, so even if Your Majesty finds out about this, he will not blame him, but will praise this as a literati relationship." What a pity!"

"..."

The little girl looked aggrieved:
"Sir, I'm stupid, I can't say it! I can't control you!"

"I'm going to cook wine, don't forget that you still have a marriage!"

After finishing speaking, she put the oil lamp on the table, took the teapot away, and went to warm the wine in the house.

"Little girl, why did you still teach me a lesson?"

"Are you expecting me to get married so much?"

Like a child, Fan Yu made a face at the girl, then turned to face Jiang Qingshu, and put the sunspots on the chessboard back into the chess pot one by one:

"Brother Jiang laughed."

"Let's not worry about her, come on, play chess!"

"It's been more than ten years since I came to the academy, and I finally had the opportunity to fight Brother Jiang. I must have a good time tonight!"

Hearing this, Jiang Qingshu felt even more guilty in his heart.

Tonight, the opponent is a pure chess player, with sincerity and sincerity, he will make friends with him through chess, and he is upright!
On the other hand, playing chess with a purpose is very dirty!
No wonder the other party was able to use Confucianism to realize his innate talent at the mere age of 32, and took the top spot on the list of Chu's young masters in one fell swoop!
"Brother Fan, actually..."

Seeing Fan Yu's enthusiastic and sincere demeanor, Jiang Qingshu blamed himself and decided to tell the truth.

Unexpectedly, he only finished half of what he said, and Fan Yu interrupted with a smile:

"Brother Jiang, don't say too much."

"I know you have something on your mind, but..."

"So do I."

"..."

Jiang Qingshu was stunned.

Just listen to Fan Yu and said:

"After losing the first game of chess, I saw that Brother Jiang's mentality has improved a lot, and he seemed to breathe a long sigh of relief. Presumably your worries have been settled?"

"This……"

Jiang Qingshu nodded with a wry smile.

Seeing this, Fan Yu couldn't help but smiled and patted his chest:
"That's really..."

"Great!"

"Brother Jiang, let me tell you, if your worries are over, then mine will be over too."

As soon as these words came out, Rao Yijiang Qingshu couldn't help but widen his eyes, showing an unbelievable expression:

"Could it be that……"

Suddenly he had a terrible guess.

"That's right, just as Brother Jiang thought."

Fan Yu nodded slightly, pointed at the chessboard:

"Now you and I have no burden, so..."

"Can we start playing chess?"

"Let me tell you first, in this game, I will be like Brother Jiang, and I will think carefully about every move I make!"

"I also hope Brother Jiang won't let me play a ten-hour chess game with me!"

Hearing the word "ten hours", Jiang Qingyu's heart trembled violently, once again confirming her guess, she couldn't help closing her eyes.

A moment later, when he opened his eyes, they were already clear:
"Brother Fan, come!"

"I'll play another game with you."

Fan Yu laughed loudly, turned his head and told the little girl in the room:
"Xiao Nian, take out the 300-year-old 'saint's blood' sent by Mr. Xun a few days ago, warm it for half an hour, and let Brother Jiang and I have a drink!"

next moment.

A helpless voice came from inside the house:

"Sir, that is a congratulatory gift from Mr. Xun in advance! I will bring it to the mansion tomorrow for outsiders to see!"

Fan Yu muttered in a low voice:
"Because it's a congratulatory gift, I have to drink it quickly!"

The little girl walked out of the house:
"Sir, what did you say?"

Fan Yu grimaced at him with a smile:
"I said warm it up first!"

"It's a big deal to pour some other wine in after drinking, anyway, outsiders can't see it!"

Immediately, the little girl patted her forehead with a helpless expression.

……

at the same time.

Jiang Qingyu's body was sleeping soundly in the station.

But his yin body dressed up in a white robe mask is several miles away, confronting a celestial being.

It was an old acquaintance.

Among the top ten eunuchs in the capital, Yan Songyu was second only to Jing Rang, the first eunuch.

On the way to the north, Yan Songyu was cut off with an arm by Yue Huang, the owner of the Wu Pavilion, with the Yue Wang Sword in Luoxia Town, and his strength was greatly damaged, but right now he has both arms, but his breath is still not stable, and his strength is only at the peak Eighty to ninety percent of the time.

Obviously, as the most loyal running dog of Jing's lineage, he received the treatment that the entire royal family spared no effort in treating.

"Who is your Excellency? Why are you here?"

Yan Songyu stared at Jiang Qingyu's private body with fear.

Tonight, he came to the post station under Jing Hong's order, responsible for ensuring the smooth progress of the plan, and also came to investigate the reality of the son of the prince of the north.

But what he didn't expect was that before he got close to the station, he was stopped by an unknown person!

What was even more unexpected was that after just fighting with each other for a few moves, he felt that this person's strength was a bit higher than his own, at least at the level of Yuehuang holding the Yuewang sword, Jiang Qiushui at his peak, and even...

One step up, transcending the Sunshine Realm!

This made Yan Songyu terrified.

At this moment, he only thought about how to get out safely. As for the failure of the plan, the men in black did not go to surround and kill the Anbei Army, but wiped out the Imperial Guards.

The sum of those 2000 people can't compare to my old life!

"You seem to be afraid of me?"

Jiang Qingyu looked at Yan Songyu with playful eyes.

"..."

Yan Songyu opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.

afraid?
How could you not be afraid!
In Luoxia Town, he had almost died under the sword of King Yue, and while surviving the catastrophe, he became more and more resigned to his life!

If he had known earlier that he would meet such a master of unknown origin, he would never have taken a single step out of the capital!

"Ha ha."

Seeing this, Jiang Qingyu couldn't help chuckling.

He guessed that Jing Hong would send someone to supervise the battle, but he didn't expect that it would be Yan Songyu, an old acquaintance.

This person sent problematic Jiuzhuan Golden Pills to the King of the North many times, and also took Lichun from Ziyanyuan. It can be said that he has a lot of hatred with himself.

However, now is not a good time to kill the opponent.

After all, if Yan Songyu died tonight, then the Jing family's fear of the Jubei Palace will definitely increase, and his trip to Beijing will definitely become more dangerous!
Therefore, this person cannot be killed temporarily.

So, after giving the man in black enough time to leave the battlefield, Jiang Qingyu turned his back on Yan Songyu and waved his hands, showing the demeanor of an outsider:

"That's all, you can go."
