Chapter 255: A Game of Chess and One Person
Seeing so many Xixia soldiers, Zhao Yougong was happy, closed the folding fan and poked Xiao Zhiyun next to him, Xiao Meiren naturally understood what Zhao Xiaojunwang meant, turned his face and blinked a little mischievously.
"This guy is going to be unlucky" Xiao Zhiyun just finished speaking, those Western Xia soldiers were left and right, and a woman in costume slowly walked in, this woman's hair was like a cloud, heroic, like a fairy sinking into Luoshui. A very beautiful woman, walking, the fragrance was blowing, and everyone in the inn was stunned, including the prince Zongzan, of course. If you want to say that there is no reaction at all, it is estimated that it is the monk Kumachi.
Zong Zan's heart was hot, and as soon as he saw the fairy in the painting, he had an impulse. What made him happy was that the woman really walked towards him, her beautiful eyes were like water, her small mouth moved slightly, and the woman raised her hand and smiled, "Little prince, do you still recognize the little woman?" β
"Do you recognize that you are not a snow fairy on the Tianshan Mountains? To meet the fairy, Xiao Wang is happy, happy"
As he spoke, Zong Zan had already stood up excitedly, and raised one hand uncontrollably, looking at the salty pig hand, the woman took a step back, and a resolute man stood in front of him, "Bold maniac, when you see the princess of our country, don't hurry up and salute." β
"Princess? What's so great about the princess" Zong Zan didn't react for a while, and after he understood the meaning of the word princess, his two eyes were also round, he took two steps back, quickly stroked his chest with one hand, and bowed deeply, "Tubo Zongzan, I have seen Her Royal Highness the princess." β
Li Qinglu hated this Tibetan barbarian very much, if it wasn't for her uncle who sent her, she would never have said more than half a word to this barbarian. At this time, he was polite. But the more he did. The more annoying it is. Covering his mouth and chuckling, there was a bit of sarcasm between his eyebrows, "Giggles, the little prince really doesn't recognize the little girl?" We just met today, have you forgotten? β
"Huh?" Zong Zan stared at Li Qinglu and looked at it, still can't remember when he saw it, but he felt that this eye was a little familiar, when he saw Bao'er behind Li Qinglu. A figure suddenly flashed in Zong Zan's mind.
The princess is the bewitching woman with a purple mask, this is bad, today the princess came to the inn not to meet guests, but to take revenge. Zong Zan's face changed and changed, his big mouth was open, and he didn't know what to say, Li Qinglu saw him like this, smiled faintly, put his hands together, and saluted to Gu Ma Zhixing, who was sitting opposite. "The national teacher is polite, and this princess came rashly. disturbed the national teacher, and I hope that the national teacher will not be blamed. β
Blame? A princess deigned to come to the inn, how to blame? Gu Mozhi is a smart person, he has already understood what Li Qinglu meant, the so-called don't blame, just want him to not interfere in the future. No need to ask, Gu Mozhi can also guess what Zongzan did, it is estimated that the three princes are molesting the girl of the good family again, and they coincidentally flirted with the princess of Yinchuan.
Gu Mozhi can't ignore it, because he is the national teacher of Tubo, even if Prince Zongzan has more mistakes, he should be brought back and handed over to Zampu for disposal, if the Tangut people are allowed to deal with it, how can Tubo have face? With his hands together and a salute, Gu Mozhi stood up and said calmly with a dignified expression, "Today, the prince has offended the princess, and the old man will definitely tell Zampu when he returns to China, and I believe that Zampu will definitely give the princess a satisfactory answer." β
Gu Mozhi's words sounded very kind, but in fact they were very resolute, Li Qinglu was not angry, she sat opposite Gu Mozhi, and said with a smile, "What the national teacher said also makes sense, but this princess just left, there is always something unreasonable." β
Listening to the words of the asphalt road, Gu Mozhi hesitated in his heart, he had heard for a long time that Princess Yinchuan was smart and resolute, and when he saw it today, it was really true. Gu Mozhi can also understand Li Qinglu's thoughts, a princess deigned to come to the Yongyang Inn, and left hastily just because of a few words, it is indeed a dull face, at any time, there must be a step down. Princess Yinchuan wants steps, and he has to give them to him.
Exhaled, Gu Mozhi said lightly, "Prince, who offended the princess today, let them come out to give the princess a sin." β
Although Zong Zan was arrogant and had a dull temperament, he could also hear that Gu Mozhi was for his good, so he nodded and shouted loudly, "Why don't you guys come over and kowtow to the princess to make amends." β
The braids were obedient, and they ran over from elsewhere, and they were about to kowtow to make amends, Li Qinglu, who was originally full of smiles, suddenly frowned, and the corners of his mouth showed a little coldness. Seeing that sneer, Gu Mozhi chuckled in his heart, he was fooled, this Yinchuan princess didn't think about making any apologies at all.
As Gu Mozhi thought, the five trumpet pigtails had just bowed down, and before they knelt on the ground, Li Qinglu had already turned his face and sneered, "It's you, stand up for this princess, Zhao Cen, what are you still doing in a daze?" Li Qinglu's face changed too quickly, she was still a gentle woman just now, but in the blink of an eye, her eyes were fierce and heroic.
With a wave of Zhao Cen's right hand, ten Western Xia soldiers drew their swords and put them on the necks of the five braids, at this time, even the fool could see what Li Qinglu was going to do, all the kindness she had just now was just to let Gu Mozhi personally send these five braids out.
Li Qinglu said that change will change, and Gu Mozhi couldn't help but be a little angry, folded his hands, and left the stool, "Amitabha, what does the princess mean by this?" Western Xia and Tubo are friendly countries, because of a trivial matter, blood is splashed, is it worth it? β
"Huh? The national teacher's words are wrong, when did this princess say that she was going to kill them? This princess likes fairness, so she will also give the national teacher a chance, let's play a few games of chess, one game and one life, how about it? In this way, it is not considered bullying the national teacher, right? β
Li Qinglu didn't allow Gu Mozhi to think too long, and in the blink of an eye, Bao'er put a chessboard on the table. Looking at the wooden chess board on the table, Gu Mozhi frowned deeply, Rao is he prides himself on being smart, and he doesn't understand what Li Qinglu is going to do.
Don't say it's Gu Mozhi, most of the people in the inn can't figure out what Li Qinglu is going to do, if you really want to kill those few braids, just kill them directly, why play chess?
Xiao Zhiyun rubbed her forehead, her sideburns fell to her ears, she understood Li Qinglu's intentions a little in her heart, but she was not very clear. Turning his head to look at the side, King Zhao Xiaojun looked confident. Xiao Zhiyun couldn't help but ask. "You see?"
"Of course. This kind of thing, Zhao used to do it often" halfway through the words, Zhao Yougong shut up and watched with interest.
"Virtue?" Xiao Zhiyun won't ask, even if she asks, this guy won't say.
To be precise, Haruma had no choice, so he could only nod his head and agree. Soon a game of chess was set, the first game. Li Qinglu holds the red chess first, don't look at Li Qinglu's soft temperament, but her chess style is very sharp, but whenever she moves first, most of the chess pieces are thicker first, and then she is launching an offensive, but Li Qinglu is not, just a few moves, she has already entered the hinterland of black chess, and the right side of the rook and horse artillery are all out. The left half is in a defensive position, especially the left. Not a single step has been taken. No one expected that in just a few moves, Li Qinglu would walk out of a typical half-faced tiger's attack method.
In chess, the half-faced tiger's killing move is generally used when the chess style is passive, and if the shape is stable, this killing move will not be used. Half of the tiger kills quickly and attacks sharply, but there is also a huge shortcoming, that is, you can't make a mistake, once you make a wrong move, let the opponent disassemble the offensive, then the other half of the chess pieces will be suffocated at home. It is estimated that it is the first time that Gu Mozhi has encountered such a fierce chess player, Li Qinglu walked very tightly, step after step, and did not give Gu Mozhi a chance to wait for a counterattack, the first game of chess, under the attack of the half-faced tiger, Gu Mozhi was quickly defeated.
In the first game, Gu Mozhi lost, without Li Qinglu's orders, Zhao Cen made a look, and the two soldiers held the outermost horn braid outside, and after a while, they heard a scream outside the inn.
In the second set, it was the turn of Gu Mozhi to take the lead, compared with Li Qinglu, Gu Mozhi's breeze was much more mature and stable, although the offensive means were not sharp, but the formation was very stable, Li Qinglu couldn't find a good opportunity, and could only watch Gu Mozhi continue to encroach on the front position. This game of chess was played for half an hour, and in the end, Li Qinglu lost.
Haruma Chi let out a long sigh of relief, he won, then it's time to let someone go. Li Qinglu smiled and shook her head, as if she was pity for the game of chess just now, she raised her right hand and shook it gently, Zhao Cen gave an order, and another pigtail was dragged out of the inn and cut off his head. Gu Mozhi was originally very calm, but at this time, Li Qinglu's eyes were opened, and he put his hands together and said, "Princess, what do you mean by this?" The old man has already won, so why should he kill? β
"Hehe, the Chinese teacher is angry? Before, Princess Ben said that she would win and release people or lose and release people? β
Hearing this, Gu Mozhi was stunned, as if he really hadn't asked this question, and he took it for granted that he must have won and could save people. I didn't think that this Yinchuan princess was so domineering, she killed people when she won and killed people when she lost.
"Princess, why do you tease the old man?"
"The national teacher is strict, this princess doesn't dare, besides, this is my Xixia, and the rules are also set by ourselves."
Gu Mozhi couldn't help but admire Li Qinglu a little, a woman, can say such strong words, the rules of Western Xia are set in Western Xia, in other words, whether a few Tubo guards are dead or alive also depends on Li Qinglu's meaning. I obviously want to kill, but I still have to play chess pretendedly, which is deliberately trying to provoke fire. This Li Qinglu is to sue the Tubo man, Xixia is not afraid of offending anyone, and he has never lacked courage.
In the third game of chess, it was still won by Gumo Zhi, and then a Tibetan trumpet pigtail died. In the fourth set, Li Qinglu won, this time she didn't rush to order, but asked lightly, "National teacher, do you think you should be killed, or should you not be killed?" β
Gu Mozhi frowned, and sighed with deep meaning, "Naturally you shouldn't kill it"
Before the words fell, Li Qinglu made a look, and the fourth speaker was also dragged out.
In the fifth game, Gu Mozhi won, this time Li Qinglu still asked the original question, Gu Mozhi did not rush to answer, after a while, Fang said with a cold face, "Please also ask the princess to kill him." β
Gu Mozhi let him kill, but Li Qinglu didn't kill him, she just wanted to tell SΓΉ Gu Mozhi a truth, this is Xixia, and all the rules are set by Xixia himself.
Five braids, only one was left in the end, Zong Zan was frightened, although it was not his turn to die anyway, but the heart he was holding before was more uncomfortable than being hit by fifty boards.
If he could, Zhao Yougong wanted to applaud Li Qinglu, a few games of chess, not only to maintain the dignity of the Western Xia royal family, but also to avenge himself, and the most important thing is to let the world know the courage of the Western Xia. This kind of a bit of a scoundrel approach, Li Qinglu alone would never have thought of it, it seems that Li Bingzuo behind her is really a brave person.
Li Qinglu felt that the desired effect had been achieved, and in this way, her uncle should also be satisfied, so she smiled and retreated, and did not forget to salute, "The national teacher will rest for a while, and this princess will not bother much." β
turned around and left quietly, and when she went out, Li Qinglu turned around and nodded and smiled, her smile was naturally at Zhao Yougong and Xiao Zhiyun, so it could be regarded as a greeting.
Leaving the inn, Li Qinglu took out a handkerchief and wiped the fine sweat on his forehead, and said with a frown, "Zhao Cen, put up a notice, if anyone dares to do that evil thing in the city recently, they will be severely punished, and those four Tubo people are examples." β
"Yes, I'll do it."
The sun is blazing on the head, but there is a shade in the heart, in this life, there will always be unexpected things happening. (To be continued......)
