Blood from Daming

Chapter 461 Diamonds
Princess Scarlet Blood nodded and said: "General, I can promise you that I will send young men to form an army to follow the general. From now on, the whole country of Manchujia will welcome the general."

Xue Yun said: "Your Highness is self-reliant, and you are full of thorns and Canadian monarchs and ministers must also work hard. Now, Your Highness will hand over the ships as soon as possible and buy artillery, muskets and other things as soon as possible, and cooperate with our Xue family army to occupy Taiwan Island and drive out the Spanish and Dutch pirates." Go to sea..."

Princess Scarlet Blood said: "General, I will deal with it as soon as possible. I wonder if the general is satisfied with the owner of Xue Tao Hall."

Xue Yun smiled and said: "The general is very satisfied. It seems that Her Royal Highness also has an understanding side. Take good care of Xue Susu for the general and let her live the life she likes."

The Red Blood Princess replied: "I will definitely take good care of the owner of the Xuetao Pavilion. I have already transferred some belongings of the owner of the Xuetao Pavilion to the general's subordinates. The belongings of the general's woman should not be lost to the people."

Xue Yun nodded and said: "Very well done, this general has accepted the favor of Her Royal Highness, you should get up."

The Scarlet Blood Princess got up and rubbed her sore knee and said, "General, I'm afraid Zheng Zhilong might be in trouble."

Xue Yun laughed: "It's just a mere pirate, even if he doesn't come to look for the general, the general will look for him. You must know how to let others snore under a collapsed pillow."

The Scarlet Blood Princess bowed and exited the hall after resigning from Xue Yun. After a while, Xue Susu entered the hall. Xue Susu said softly to Xue Yun: "Brother, the guest has already delivered the remaining one hundred thousand taels of silver and a box of gold beads as a gift. ornaments."

Sure enough, Di Cui and the other four women struggled to lift a gorgeous carved iron-clad wooden box. After placing it in the middle of the hall, the four women left immediately. Seeing the dazzling golden light inside, Xue Susu blocked her eyes with her jade hand inside.

Xue Susu said: "Brother, come and see if there are any things you like, take some and play with them."

Xue Yun stood up and went to the jewelry box to have a look. The bottom of the jewelry box was full of gold beads and gold ingots, and in the middle were piles of pearls, agates, jadeites, coral beads, nobile knives, and pearl and jade daggers. There are huge loose stones of different colors, and in the middle is an exotic pure gold diamond crown inlaid with a huge ruby.

Xue Yun reached out and picked up the tiara with the giant ruby ​​inlaid, looked at it carefully for a while, then took a step and put the tiara on Xue Susu's head, Xue Yun took two steps back to look at it Said: "It's beautiful."

Xue Susu said coquettishly: "Brother, you messed up my sister's hair accessories." As she said that, she was about to take off the crown.

Xue Yun quickly said: "Sister, don't be busy, let my brother take a look at it again, it will be more perfect if it can be drawn."

Xue Susu lightly reprimanded: "Brother, you are dying. This thing is a disaster. If outsiders see it, it is a felony of conspiracy to rebel and harm the entire family. Why don't you help my sister destroy this crown."

Xue Yun took off the tiara from Xue Susu and said: "Sister, it's a pity to ruin it, why don't my brother keep it for my sister, when my sister wants to wear this tiara, I can just ask my brother for it."

Xue Susu said with a smile: "Sister forgot, my younger brother came back from a foreign vassal. He doesn't see any Da Ming Wangfa in his eyes. Just take it, and be careful on the way, otherwise there will be a catastrophe."

Xue Yun wrapped the back crown with silk cloth, and flung it on the flat place between the roof beams, but there was no trace of it standing below, Xue Susu's face changed slightly, and Xue Yun said in front of him: "Sister, Let's continue playing chess." Xue Susu answered "Yes" absent-mindedly.

March [-]th is the day when Xue Susu played chess with Zeng Dezhao, a missionary of the Catholic Jesuit Society. However, the place where they played chess was not in the Catholic Church on Hongwugang West Chongli Street in Zhengyangmen, but in Luosi, the city of Chengxi. The meeting was held at the residence of Matteo Ricci, a missionary of the Society of Jesus. After Xue Susu dressed up, she wore an Arabian gemstone waist knife and rode the sterling silver and white sweat-blooded horse that Xue Yun gave her. Accompanied by the bodyguard left by the blood princess, she left the Xue Tao hall.

When Xue Susu rode a horse to the Luo Temple in Chengxi to turn around the bay, staff members from the Catholic Jesuit Society of the Ming Dynasty immediately came up to receive them. There were also two women among them. It is estimated that the two women were specially arranged because Xue Susu, a female guest, was participating today. Because Xue Susu brought a dozen people, the Jesuits thought that there were too many people, and they all stayed in the open space of the yard to rest. Xue Susu was only allowed to bring two men, a man and a woman, to accompany him.

Xue Yun pretended to be Xue Susu's entourage, and entered the chess playing room with Dicui together. Someone was already playing chess in the room. Xue Yun saw that besides a Western missionary, the other chess player was an acquaintance , is the Jinling son Chen Zhenhui who called Xue Yun brothers and sisters in Qunfang Pavilion.

Dicui waited for Xue Susu to sit and rest at the side. Xue Yun had undergone makeup treatment, and the light in the room was dim, so it was unlikely that Chen Zhenhui would recognize her. So Xue Yun took two steps to watch the chess game between the two. Xue Yun Seeing that Chen Zhenhui's rear wing has formed a stack of pawns, losing pawns is inevitable. In the game of chess, Chen Zhenhui has no hope.

Xue Yun looked at it for a while, and at this time, Chen Zhenhui not only lost a pawn, but also let missionary Zeng Dezhao's passing pawns rush down. Chen Zhenhui still lost at least one knight or bishop. There is no point in continuing this game of chess. Xue Yun retreated to Xue Susu's side and said in a low voice: "Young Master Jinling has already lost, but the missionary Zeng Dezhao knows some situational moves, but his moves are quite imprecise. Sister and brother believe that he may have missed a move, as long as you hold your breath Winning chess is no problem."

Xue Susu nodded to Xue Yun when she heard this. At this time, Chen Zhenhui had already stood up, admitting defeat to the missionary Zeng Dezhao, and then Chen Zhenhui said that she would give up the second game of black chess and hoped to stay here to observe Xue Susu and the missionary Zeng Dezhao game between.

Missionary Zeng Dezhao thought for a while and said, "Mr. Chen, if Ms. Xue doesn't mind, I have no problem."

Di Cui brought a chair to replace Chen Zhenhui's, and then covered the chair with a brand new cotton cloth. Xue Susu sat on the chair slowly this time, and Chen Zhenhui moved the chair and stood aside knowingly. Xue Susu didn't look at Chen Zhenhui, He just stretched out his right hand and pointed to the chair, expressing his agreement for Chen Zhenhui to sit at the chess table and watch chess.

The missionary Zeng Dezhao said: "Oh, God, the beautiful Ms. Xue, I am very honored to honor you. Only Ms. Xue can play with me, and I can get a top-quality diamond from Father Matteo Ricci and a story about Eastern Catholicism. The story of the Jesuits."

Xue Susu said: "There is no need to win diamonds by drawing, let's see the winners and losers in chess."

The missionary Zeng Dezhao said: "Ms. Xue is really refreshing, please ask Ms. Xue to play chess."

There is a white chess piece in front of Xue Susu, so after Xue Susu nodded, he took the first step on the vault Nf3 to stop, Zeng Dezhao would use pawn D5 to compete for the center, then Xue Susu raised his pawn G3 to prepare for the bishop G2 to build a fortress, Zeng Dezhao pawn C5, Two pawns take control of the center, next 3.Bg2Nc64.D3Nf65.00…

After more than a dozen moves, Xue Susu started to enter the middle game. Xue Susu established a solid formation and began to gather pieces from Zeng Dezhao's king wing. In the ensuing midgame contest, there were consecutive slow moves, and Xue Susu's poorer position was exchanged for Zeng Dezhao's well-positioned flexible pieces, which made Zeng Dezhao's two strong soldiers in the center lose their protection.

After exchanging sons, Xue Susu's space became larger. Relying on his flexible mobilization of his sons, he replaced Zeng Dezhao's two soldiers with one soldier, realizing material advantages. After Zeng Dezhao lost the center, his sons were overwhelmed by Xue Susu. It was difficult to mobilize the pieces due to congested pieces. Xue Susu took advantage of the opportunity to attack the king, causing the black chess to lose half of the stones.

Now on the chessboard are King Xue Susu, queen, rook, and five pawns, King Zeng Dezhao, queen, horse, and four pawns. Xue Susu has already won the victory. Opportunity, forcibly exchanged Zeng Dezhao's black queen, and Zeng Dezhao saw that the situation was over and had no choice but to surrender.

After losing the game, Zeng Dezhao's face was very ugly. Chen Zhenhui looked at Xue Susu with horrified eyes, as if he had encountered something incredible and stayed there. Zeng Dezhao quickly arranged the chess pieces, staring at Xue Susu, and Xue Susu made a move. A move that made Zeng Dezhao move.

Zeng Dezhao calmly rolled out a move of D4, Xue Susu played Nf6 vault, and then 2.C4..., when the two sides moved to fifteen moves, Zeng Dezhao gained the center advantage, and the speed of the move was very fast, and Xue Susu's black chess was overwhelmed Bian's momentum, how do you know that Xue Susu used Zeng Dezhao Wangcheng to protect his pieces, he abandoned his rook f3 and took the horse, the white bishop f3 took the black rook, the black knight f3 took the white bishop, the white side was forced to pawn gf3, the black queen f3 the general, the white king We had no choice but to go from h1 to g1 to avoid the general, and the black queen g4f3 formed a long general situation.

Zeng Dezhao took the white king helplessly and took a few steps on the bottom line, and finally had to admit the draw. In this way, Xue Susu won one by one and defeated Zeng Dezhao. The Catholic Jesuits present, including Zeng Dezhao and Chen Zhenhui, couldn't believe it. But the facts were right in front of their eyes, and they couldn't help but refuse to accept this reality.
