Chapter 233 Outside the Palace Gate

Tuoba Tuo has already understood that the country of poetry and literature, the land of rituals and music, is completely deceptive.

They are simply a group of bottomless and shameless beings.

This is a prosperous dynasty, and the opponent has the home field advantage. The victory or defeat is between their lips.

Tuoba Tuo's inner belief in victory had begun to waver.

"Prince Tuoba, what is the competition in this second round?"

A man stood up behind Tuoba. He was about seven feet tall, wearing a purple shirt, with a folding fan in his hand and an ancient jade hanging from his waist.

"I am Gongsun Shou of Xia Yue Kingdom. I would like to consult with the talented men of the Sheng Dynasty on chess skills."

Yang Liang whispered to Princess Cuiwei: "What is the origin of Gongsun Shou?"

Princess Cuiwei looked at him in surprise and said, "You don't even know him, what kind of scholar are you?"

Yang Liang had a stern expression on his face. He was a scholar who was half-selling and half-giving, and he also worked part-time as an assassin in his spare time.

Princess Cuiwei said: "The Gongsun family belongs to the royal family of the Yue Kingdom. This Gongsun Shou should be the seventeenth prince. He is the best at chess. His three teachers are all current national players. This prince Gongsun also has the ability to be undefeated for seven days. legend."

"If he is a prince, the legend will be very rich. After all, people know that he is a prince, so who would dare to defeat him."

Princess Cuiwei shook her head: "I'm afraid he doesn't have much moisture. Let's just see how Princess Yushu handles it."

Yang Liang was far away, but he could see clearly that a drop of sweat appeared on Princess Yushu's fair face.

Probably she was also secretly cursing in her mind that the officials in charge of the imperial examination had gone too far. Giving them a ranking would not have caused such a big fuss.

It's good now. I'm the one who can't stand it. No, it's the entire empire.

Soon, a chessboard was placed on the high platform, with two low stools on both sides, and the two sides sat facing each other.

Princess Yushu walked over in person, observed it carefully, and then raised her head to look at the sun in the distance.

Everyone had been noisy for a while. It was now close to noon, the sun was hanging in the sky, and the spring sunshine was already a bit dazzling.

She nodded, pointed to the south-facing position and said, "Prince Gongsun, please sit here."

As soon as Gongsun Shou sat down, he realized that he had been deceived. He was facing the sun. It would be okay if he didn't raise his head. As long as he raised his head, the sun would shine directly on his face, making him unable to think at all.

These people are too despicable.

Gongsun Shou and Tuoba Tuo have already understood that people like Sheng Chao have no bottom line in order to win.

Fortunately, playing chess is nothing else. Losing is losing, winning is winning. It is clear at a glance and cannot be denied.

Even if you try all your tricks, I will remain unmoved and let you lose completely.

Thinking of this, Gongsun Shou put a faint smile on his face again, looked at everyone and said, "I wonder which talented person in the Sheng Dynasty will play a game of chess with me?"

He was so graceful and graceful that even the people watching were secretly heartbroken.

"The barbarians of the Yue State are different from the barbarians in other places. The Yue State has admired the Central Plains for a long time and has long been assimilated by the Central Plains."

"Looking at such a handsome man, he is indeed a talented man cultivated by our great culture."

At this time, a man stood out from the ranks of the scholars of the Sheng Kingdom. He cupped his hands and saluted Gongsun Shou:

"Runan Liang Zian, I would like to have a discussion with you."

The Liang family of Runan was also a noble of the Dasheng Dynasty. This Liang Zian was the disciple of Taoist Songshan, a master of Jiangnan. When he came forward, no one had any objections.

Princess Yushu nodded and felt that this was a good candidate. She said, "Let Mr. Liang give it a try."

Liang Zian came to the chessboard, lifted up the hem of his robe and sat down. His behavior was elegant and upright throughout, without any rudeness.

The people under the high platform couldn't help shouting, and threw the flowers in their hands onto the platform one after another. Princess Yushu said with a smile: "After today, the name of Young Master Flower will be spread all over the country."

Liang Zian smiled reservedly, and felt very happy in his heart. Her Royal Highness the Princess said so eloquently, after she said this, her name would definitely spread throughout the entire empire.

First, you must win the chess game in front of you.

The two sides started playing chess.

Yang Liang and Princess Cuiwei were too far away to see clearly the details of the game.

Princess Cuiwei suddenly said: "Can Mr. Li know how to play chess?"

"Hmm... I understand a little bit." Yang Liang said: "In my opinion, Princess Liang, can Mr. Liang win this game?"

"How do I know this? However, children from aristocratic families often grow up in sugary nests and are used to flattery. Therefore, they always do not have a correct understanding of their own level."

Yang Liang pondered what Princess Cuiwei said. She seemed not to think highly of Mr. Liang.

The people under the high platform couldn't see clearly what was going on in the chess game. They just gathered together to make random guesses, and occasionally shouted hello for Liang Zian.

Princess Yushu walked around the chess game, carefully observing the reactions of both sides.

She had her own plan in mind, and if Liang Zian had the upper hand, there would be no need to say more. If Gongsun Shou wanted to win, he would pretend to fall down, destroy the game between the two sides, and then declare that the two sides were tied.

Princess Yushu secretly admired her wit.

Seeing this scene in Tuoba Tuo's eyes, he had realized that this woman had no bottom line at all and would do anything to win her.

He had already seen through Princess Yushu's intention.

He simply took a step forward and said: "Your Highness, please sit back and watch, and do not disturb the two chess players."

Princess Yushu said: "That's wrong. I also care about them. According to your statement, I can still cause damage but can't."

I've seen it a long time ago, you just want to take the opportunity to cause destruction!

"Of course the princess is not that kind of person, but the weather is too hot, so the princess should take care of her body."

The two were pulling randomly when they suddenly heard the sound of falling pieces behind them. Liang Zian dropped two pieces and said in frustration: "I lost."

Princess Yushu was startled and thought, why did she lose so quickly? I didn't even have time to cause damage.

But on the chessboard, Gongsun Shou already had an absolute advantage. Both sides looked about the same age, but Gongsun Shou's chess ability was far superior to that of the other.

Gongsun Shou sat there, his expression unchanged. However, Liang Zian, who was sitting opposite him, was already flushed and sweating profusely.

"Mr. Liang, did you suddenly feel unwell? No wonder, don't worry, this competition is irrelevant, you don't have to take it to heart."

Huh?

Tuoba Tuo and Gongsun Shou raised their heads at the same time and looked at Princess Yushu in surprise.

This is so shameless. If you lose, you lose. How can you use the excuse of not being healthy?

Gongsun Shou took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said: "Your Highness, if there is any talented person who wants to give it a try, the student will learn from it here and will never refuse."

"it is good."

Princess Yushu's expression remained unchanged, she looked at Cui Ming and the others and said, "Does any of you want to give it a try?"

After she finished speaking, several more people came forward, but they were all no match for Gongsun Shou and were defeated one after another.

A trace of pride appeared on Gongsun Shou's face and he said, "Isn't it possible that they are all unwell?"

Tuoba Tuo smiled even more arrogantly. He put his hands behind his back and puffed out his big belly, saying: "These are the talented people from the Dasheng Dynasty. In my opinion, they are just a bunch of idiots."
