Poisonous girls are hard to find: the king's arrogant favorite concubine

Chapter 129 Losing is Unexpected, Reasonable

"I'm almost ready. Actually, I'm not prepared at all. It's just a matter of adjusting my attitude." Xuan Che said lightly.

But such words fell into Ding Xichen's ears like provocation, and people couldn't help but say, "Sister, I'm ready to watch, I'm just waiting for everyone." Ding Xichen put down his chopsticks, Invite people to remove everything.

"Well, my first competition is about writing, and writing is usually about writing poems and lyrics, but it's obviously unfair to compare Xichen like this, so the topic of my competition is chess."

Ding Jiuxi gave Furong a wink, "Furong, go get me the vice flag."

Fu Rong did as she said, but Ding Xichen was a little unhappy, "Sister, didn't you just say that you were not partial? Why did you change your mind when you turned around? Compared with playing chess, you know that I am not interested in playing chess. Brother Xuan Che saw it You are proficient in chess, so it's a bit bad for you to turn your elbows outward like this."

Ding Xichen played with the cup upside down to express his dissatisfaction.

"You're wrong. I'm talking about playing chess, but it's not Go. It's called backgammon. The rules are very simple, and none of you know it, so I'm not partial to anyone. If you lose, you have to admit that your skills are not as good as people."

Ding Jiuxi explained the whole rules of chess. The rules are simple, and soon the two of them understood the main points, and Ding Xichen stopped saying that Ding Jiuxi was partial to Xuan Che.

"This way of playing is really interesting." Xuan Che was very interested in this new way of playing chess, and began to think about it secretly, but he had another plan in mind for winning or losing.

"Since you all have no opinions, let's start." Seeing that Furong had already arranged the chessboard, Ding Jiuxi said.

"I have no opinion, I can start at any time." Xuan Che figured out what to do after thinking about it for a while, with a relaxed and calm expression on his face, as if he had insight into everything.

Seeing Xuan Che's expression made Ding Xichen a little flustered. Could it be that he was going to lose? Although he understood how to play, he only understood the rules. It is a dead horse treated as a living horse doctor.

The two quickly sat down on the side of the chessboard, Ding Jiuxi was on the side as the referee, and she gave the order to start. Considering some disparities, Ding Jiuxi decided to let Ding Xichen play first, giving him some only advantages.

The game between Ding Xichen and Xuan Che was somewhat beyond Ding Jiuxi's expectations. She thought that Xuan Che's chess skills were absolutely nothing to worry about, because this is definitely a super simple version of Go, at least she is like this think.

But the situation of the battle made her a little puzzled. At first Xuan Che still had the upper hand and forced Xichen to defend all the time without any chance to attack. They were stretched and lost in the end.

It wasn't until she was about to lose that Ding Jiuxi suddenly realized something, but she believed in Xuan Che's arrangement, he must have his own plan, anyway, their purpose is the same, Ding Jiuxi didn't want to interfere too much, Just pretend to be deaf and dumb.

According to the situation of Xuan Che's defeat in the second half of the game, Ding Jiuxi already understood that Xuan Che would not win, and the result soon became clear. Xuan Che lost, the loss was unexpected and reasonable.

"Xichen, you won this game, tell me your acceptance speech." Ding Jiuxi said to Ding Xichen with a happy face.

Originally, Ding Xichen raised his head and wanted to say something passionate and full of lethality, but when he looked at the group of people around him, Ding Xichen suddenly felt that he didn't need to be so proud, maybe it was a fluke, So he calmed down his attitude again: "I have nothing to say. If I win, I win. I still have two rounds to compete, and the final result is still unknown."

"I can understand that you have learned to be humble?" Ding Jiuxi teased.

Ding Xichen's attitude fell into Xuan Che's eyes, and he felt that there was some childish behavior. The number of times he met Ding Xichen can be said to be very few. He felt that Ding Xichen and Ding Jiuxi were not at all Like, although his heart is not bad, but he used to look like a bit of a rich boy, but now it seems that he has changed a lot. It seems that Ding Jiuxi didn't waste his effort on his younger brother.

"This Xichen seems to be a studious and smart person. He studied with me, but he was able to beat me in one fell swoop. It seems that I have to work hard. It would be embarrassing to lose a round. It's not as simple as being ashamed." Xuan Che also laughed at himself in cooperation, and the atmosphere became more relaxed.

"Brother Xuan Che is being polite." Ding Xichen saluted with fists in his hands, then stood up and left the chess table.

"Sister, next is the second martial arts competition. How can we compare it?" Ding Xichen drank a sip of tea and mixed his words, but fortunately he could be understood.

"Soon, I'll make arrangements. Do you need more time to adjust your time? If you don't need it, it's no problem to start now." Ding Jiuxi said holding his schedule.

"no problem."

"no problem."

Ding Xichen and Xuan Che answered in unison.

"Very well, let's have the second competition. The second competition is a martial arts competition. Since Xichen doesn't know martial arts, but he is very proficient in slingshots, we will compete with catapults. I will adopt different methods according to different people. Xichen What you shoot is a slingshot. Xuan Che, you use a bow and arrow. This is the best. Although it is dark now, the conditions are the same for you. It is difficult for everyone. I will ask someone to tie a cloth bag on the tree. It will be between the branches, and whoever you can hit wins."

After Ding Jiuxi finished speaking, he whispered instructions to Furong, and asked someone to arrange it. Soon the cloth bag was tied up, but the location of the tie was beyond the two's expectations. It was between the thick branches. That is to say, it is full of obstacles. They have to hit the cloth bag with the weapon in their hands under the obstacles of leaves and branches. The cloth bag is only the size of a palm.

Xuan Che was very confident. Ding Xichen was naturally full of ambitions when he won the first round, and he resolutely won the second round without flinching to compete perfectly with Xuan Che.

"Sister, your question is too tricky." Ding Xichen said in surprise.

"Hmph, the simple game is too boring. I just want to increase the difficulty, so that the possibility of hitting all hits will be reduced." Ding Jiuxi explained.

"But sister, you won't be able to see where the cloth bag is at all. It's already dark, so you need to make a dense place." Ding Xichen nagged a little.

"You mean that you are dissatisfied? I only heard you complaining. Do you think I deliberately targeted you?" Ding Jiuxi raised his eyebrows and looked at Ding Xichen, the meaning was self-evident.

"That's how it is. Since I won the last game, I'll come to this game first." Ding Xichen said hurriedly, not knowing whether he was boasting or slapping his face to pretend to be fat.

But Xuan Che didn't want to compete with Ding Xichen in the first place, so he can just do whatever he wants, which is naturally a good word.

"Then Xichen, you stand in the position of the servant and dip some ink on the stone you need. If you hit it, it will leave an ink mark." Ding Jiuxi motioned Ding Xichen and said.

Ding Xichen aimed the slingshot, but it was getting darker and darker, and his vision was worse than before. He tried to find the position of the cloth bag, but he couldn't see the cloth bag at all, and felt a little discouraged, but the rules of the game must be in the designated circle. Shooting within the position, Ding Xichen could only guess at the approximate position and bounced out.

Seeing that Ding Xichen had thrown the stone out, the little servant went up the tree to get out the cloth bag without waiting for orders.

"Wait, don't go, anyway, the marks they left will be different anyway, you go up to get the cloth bag and give Xuan Che a designated location, it's not fair to Xichen, but I can't control the time. It will only be darker than before, which is not good for Xuan Che, but I can't help you, we can definitely draw lots to decide who comes first, and you agreed, so you are willing to bet and admit defeat."

Ding Jiuxi said as a fair principle that a referee should do.

"I may not lose yet." Xuan Che only revealed a faint smile, calmly picked up the bow and arrow and stood at the designated position, closed his eyes and took a breath, loaded the arrow, drew the bow, fired almost in one go, and then exited calmly Come.

Ding Xichen almost opened his mouth wide, his sight was better before, he hesitated for a while before making a move, and Xuan Che almost didn't aim, but subconsciously, Ding Xichen's face froze a bit.

In fact, Ding Jiuxi already knew the result without looking over, but he just signaled the boy to go up the tree to get the cloth bag.

"The cloth bag is obvious, with an arrow but no ink, Xichen lost." Ding Jiuxi took the cloth bag handed over by the servant and spun it around for everyone to see.

"I don't understand, how did you find the cloth bag? I couldn't even see it, but you didn't even look at it." Although the loss was a loss, Xichen was puzzled by the loss, so he asked Xuan Che.

"It's very simple. We were all watching when the boy tied the cloth bag. At that time, I had memorized the location, and then I observed the distribution and direction of the branches of the whole tree, so I can't say I didn't see it." , but I have already seen it through in my heart." Xuan Che explained everything clearly.

After hearing Xuan Che's words, Ding Xichen knew that he would definitely lose, and there was no chance of luck at all. After all, he was still not thinking thoroughly.

"I am convinced in this round, I lost." Ding Xichen bowed respectfully to Xuan Che with his fists cupped.

"Don't be discouraged, there is still one round, we are just tied, the last is the crucial round, you must not bring the emotions of this round into the next round, otherwise you will be very dangerous, you know ?”

Xuan Che kindly reminded Ding Xichen, lest he mess up.After all, this game is a competition of great disparity in strength. Xuan Che deliberately gave up the first game to Ding Xichen, just to coax him and make him feel a little more confident. After all, I still can't suppress him so much that I don't even have any vitality , It's just a form to convince Ding Xichen, if it's really so fussy, it's meaningless.
