"Huh... it's so scary! This kind of chess power, let alone a level 5 foolish chess player, may even have a chance of winning even if he really faces a level 7 Jingwei chess player." As he said this, Hua Lingqiu swept away the frustration of losing the game before, and came forward excitedly to pull up Xingluo, saying in a row: "Although I don't know what happened to you in the past three years, so that he has made such rapid progress. But if Xingluo really can show such strength in the Golden Palace, maybe the princess really doesn't need it..."

Halfway through the words, Hua Lingqiu was already alert and speechless, but when she wanted to hide it, Xingluo had already grabbed her hands and asked repeatedly: "Princess? Sister, are you talking about Sister Xiaowan? What's wrong with her? If I can exert such strength in the Golden Palace, she won't have to do anything? Sister, you said!"

"This...ah! You will know this sooner or later!" After sorting out your thoughts, Hua Lingqiu slowly said: "Although Prince Anxin of the Kunye tribe can already take on a great responsibility and be sent to the empire, he is only sixteen years old this year. At the Duke's banquet to welcome him, Prince Kunye fell in love with the princess at first sight. At that time, the Duke also saw Prince Kunye's intentions, and then he used the wine to speak the golden words of "using chess as a medium."

"Use chess as a medium!?"

"Well! Although the emperor was a little drunk at that time, he knew that the Kunye clan was not good. After grasping the feelings of Prince Kunye for the prince, the emperor had to make a statement: 'As long as someone in the Kunye clan's messenger group could beat my imperial chess player in the game, the emperor would marry the princess into the Kunye clan!'." When he said this, seeing Xingluo's expression changed, Hua Lingqiu couldn't help but add: "In fact, including the emperor himself, he would never have thought that the Kunye clan, who had always known to ride horses and fight, could also cultivate strong chess players. But later..."

"But later, the other party not only really sent a person equivalent to a level 5 foolish chess player, but also a chess boy who is not even a chess player!" After interrupting Hua Lingqiu's explanation, Duan Liuming criticized indignantly: "The royal family has always been so self-righteous! Humph! Do you really think that our wise saint will be drunk? If you win, you can show your power in Tang Ling's country; if you lose, you can marry a legitimately. Our saint will never do any loss-making business-even if he is trading his own granddaughter!"

"Master, you mean the Emperor fights from the beginning..." Seeing Duan Liuming said nothing, Hua Lingqiu's expression changed a few times. Xingluo had already asked with a decisive look on his face: "Master, please allow me to fight!"

"Xingluo, are you really so determined? You must know: the holy heart is unpredictable! Although the master dare not say that the emperor had the idea of ​​letting Xiaowan get married from the beginning, this does not mean that he didn't think so much after discovering Prince Kunye. If that is true, you will win rashly and violate the holy will. In that case, let alone becoming a chess edict, although the emperor should not make things difficult for you in person, it is enough to make you lonely for life! Even if it is this

Like, do you still want to fight?" Xingluo nodded slightly when he heard this, and then under the gaze of Duan Liuming and Hua Lingqiu, the teenager who was only twelve years ago said, as if he had seen all the vicissitudes of the world: "Where will the hair be attached? Isn't I going to become a chess attendant? Isn't I going to become a chess attendant? If she married into Kunye, then what's the point of becoming a chess attendant? Without her palace, it's just a cage to me!"

"Well! It's good that you can think so! Whether as a chess player or an ordinary person, you must know what you are pursuing at any time." After coming up and patting Xingluo on the shoulder, Duan Luming turned to Hua Lingqiu and said, "Ling Qiu, for the happiness of these two children, the old man wants to trouble you to commit the crime of deceiving the emperor! Can you please repay the palace: Just say that although there is indeed a chess boy with superb chess skills in Tianzhao Temple, he is currently in seclusion and is not suitable for participating in any Golden Palace game!"

"This... the temple master means to play hard to get?" Hua Lingqiu, who is already a versatile man, has made her know what intrigue is. Sure enough, the next moment, she heard Duan Liuming smile and answered: "Is playing hard to get hard to get? You can also say that! At least, you can't let those big men who are not diligent and do not distinguish between grains besides criticizing all the wrongs of our Tianzhao Temple, and call us and go as soon as possible?"

"Ling Qiu understands!" He nodded slightly, and Hua Lingqiu bowed and said goodbye: "It is important, and Ling Qiu dares not delay any more. I just hope that the temple minister will be able to... be able to..."

"Well! Ling Qiu, don't worry: I'll stop when I meet you!" As he spoke, Hua Lingqiu was so respectful that he had withdrawn from the room. After only two masters and apprentices were left in the room, Xingluo wanted to say something. Duan Liuming had already explained: "Xingluo, do you really think that being a master is a master to play hard to get?"

"Master, do you want to use this buffer period to test the Sacred Heart?"

"Well! You are very wise, but why are you still young. A newborn calf like you, who doesn't know how many dirty things there are in the emperor's family." Seeing a hint of anxiety in Xingluo's eyes, Duan Liuming laughed and said after a moment of thinking: "You are afraid that the priest will admit defeat without authorization, which will delay Xiaowan's life? Don't worry! Haha... As a teacher, I know the temperament of our priest better than anyone else. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will never be willing to give up. Through Hua Lingqiu's reward, I have passed on that glimmer of hope. So you don't have to worry. In three days, at most, the new will will be issued!"

"Master, since you said that, Xingluo naturally has no objection." After a pause, Xingluo asked in a while: "Master, do you really think that with my current strength, you can beat the level 5 foolish chess player? I'm afraid that even if I go to fight, I will not be able to..."

"That game of chess has convinced you Sister Hua, but I can't convince yourself? Yes! In this world, it's easy to see others clearly, but it's not that easy to see yourself!" Seeing Xingluo staring at him, Duan Liuming picked up a chess piece while smiling, handed it to Xingluo and asked, "This, a small chess piece is the sword in the hands of our chess players; a chessboard of only two feet in radius is the battlefield for us to fight for the rest of our lives. Before that, what are you worried about? Say defeat before the battle. This is not what my disciple of Duan Liuming should say! Even if you don't believe in yourself, don't you believe in me, the old man?"

"Yes! Xingluo knows!"

"In the next two days, you will just do one thing: believe in yourself!"

"yes!"
