Li Xue Yan's Visit!
As he spoke, Fang Jun had Li Lizhi wait for him in the courtyard. Then, he went to his room and took out the chess pieces, followed by the Go board.
After a series of operations, Fang Jun handed the white flag to Li Lizhi and sat opposite her with the black chess piece.
Li Lizhi sat there in a daze as she looked at the things that Fang Jun was busy preparing. She couldn't figure out what Fang Jun was thinking.
"Since you are using the Go board, why did Husband say that it is not Go and is much easier than playing Go?”
Fang Jun then explained," The new chess method I know of is called Gomoku. The board is the same as the Go board. It's just that the Go board is a little bigger, but that doesn't affect it.”
"Hmm?"
Li Lizhi had never heard of Gomoku.
Fang Jun smiled as he reached out and patted her head.
During the Tang Dynasty, there was no such game as Gomoku, so how could she have heard of it?
"I invented it myself. Go is too nerve-wracking. Come, I'll teach you."
" When the chessboard is empty, the black chess piece will be placed first, followed by the white chess piece. The chess pieces can only be placed one at a time. The chess piece will be placed on an empty spot on the chessboard. After the chess piece is placed, it cannot be moved to other spots. It means that the chess piece cannot be removed from the chessboard or picked up and placed elsewhere."
After some thought, he added," Also, the chess pieces can be placed on any intersection point on the chessboard. It is the right of both sides to take turns to play, but any party is allowed to give up the right to play. The first person to form a line of five pieces wins.”
"Is this how Gomoku is played?" Li Lizhi asked thoughtfully. Five pieces in a line? Can you do it diagonally? Like this."
As she spoke, Li Lizhi drew a line diagonally along the corner of the grid on the chessboard.
Fang Jun nodded." It can be horizontal, vertical, or slanted. As long as the five pieces form a line, it will be fine."”
"Oh, I understand. Let's begin."
Li Lizhi said confidently.
Thus, the husband and wife played one stone each, and Fang Jun won four rounds in a row.
Li Lizhi was so angry that she threw the chess piece in her hand into the jar. She snorted and turned her head away to ignore him.
"Madam, you can't be like this. You can't win and you're acting shamelessly.”
Li Lizhi still ignored him. It seemed like she was furious.
"What Gomoku? It's not fun at all. I'm not playing anymore.”
Fang Jun was helpless,"Madam has just started, so she's a little rusty." Come on, let's do it again. You'll definitely win this time.”
Li Lizhi looked at Fang Jun." Then why didn't you let me win just now? It's all up to you. It's not fair to me at all."”
Fang Jun was amused by Li Li's childlike temperament.
"Okay, okay, okay. If you say you don't want to play, then we won't play. But Madam had thought it through. If she didn't play, there was nothing to pass the time with.”
Li Lizhi hesitated.
But before she could say anything, Li Xue Yan was led by the butler to the courtyard where they were.
From afar, Li Xue Yan saw Li Lizhi's bitter face and then looked at Fang Jun's fawning expression. She immediately understood.
"Sister Changle, did Lord Fang bully you? If you tell me, I'll help you get it back.”
Li Xue Yan's voice suddenly rang out. Both of them were stunned, but Li Li Zhi immediately changed her mood and greeted them with a smile.
"Madam, your expression changed so quickly?"”
Li Lizhi ignored him but Fang Jun's words made Li Xue Yan laugh.
"Snow Goose, why are you here?"
Li Lizhi said gently as she pulled Li Xue Yan to sit down.
Li Xue Yan then retracted the smile on her face and frowned,"I heard that you were injured. How was it? Where are you hurt? Is it serious?"
Li Lizhi shook her head." I just sprained my ankle. It's not that serious."”
"That's good. These few days, sister will recuperate well. You must not run around.”
Fang Jun smiled,"She has to listen to you." The princess had been jumping around every day for the past two days. She had been slowly getting better, but after she jumped around yesterday, it became serious again.”
Li Xue Yan looked at Li Lizhi's feet.
It was indeed a little red and swollen, and her shoes were bulging.
"Sister Changle, this is your fault. You're injured and you're still disobedient.”
Li Lizhi tilted her head, but then she turned her head and gave Fang Jun a fierce look.
Fang Jun chuckled.
Li Xue Yan looked at the couple who were pretending to be loving and suddenly felt that she was a little unnecessary. However, in the blink of an eye, she saw the chessboard on the stone table and said,"Sister Changle, are you playing chess?”
She looked carefully at the remaining pieces on the chessboard and frowned."Hmm? Not Go?"
"I'm teaching the princess how to play Gomoku. Do you want to learn it too?" Fang Jun laughed.”
"Gomoku?" Li Xue Yan looked at Fang Jun blankly.”
"Yes."
Fang Jun then told Li Xue Yan about the way to play Gomoku.
Li Xue Yan was smart and just like Li Li Zhi, she understood what he meant.
Then, the two sisters started to play. Li Lizhi won, and Li Xue Yan won again. The two of them were evenly matched. However, after a few rounds, Li Lizhi was obviously no match for Li Xue Yan.
Fang Jun watched quietly from the side.
As the saying goes, the onlooker sees more clearly than the player involved. He could see the chessboard that Li Lizhi could not see clearly.
"Sigh, we can't land there!"
After thinking for a long time, Li Lizhi placed the chess piece on an empty spot after three white pieces. Even if Fang Jun shouted slowly, he could not stop Li Lizhi's hand.
As soon as the chess piece was placed, Li Xue Yan smiled and placed a black piece in the middle of a pair of chess pieces. Upon closer inspection, the five black pieces that were slanted upwards were connected in a line.
"Haha, Sister Changle, you lost again.”
Li Lizhi looked at the chessboard in frustration and disbelief.
Fang Jun leaned over with a look that said,"If you don't listen to the old man, you'll suffer a loss in front of you.""See, what did your husband say?”
Li Lizhi felt wronged, but she still refused to accept it.
She didn't believe that Li Xue Yan was better than her even though she and Li Xue Yan had just learned it.
Thus, the two of them started another round.
After a few pieces, Li Xue Yan's victory was right in front of her eyes, but Li Li Zhi foolishly did not stop her like she did in the previous round.
Fang Jun looked helplessly and said,"Idiot, here."”
As he spoke, he corrected where Li Lizhi's hand was placed.
With one move, Li Xue Yan's victory was ruined by Fang Jun. She pointed at Fang Jun in exasperation,"Lord Fang, a true gentleman doesn't speak while watching chess. How can you do this?”
"Then I won't speak next time."”
Li Xue Yan was furious as she watched Li Lizhi achieve victory under Fang Jun's silent guidance.
"Sister Chang Le, you cheated. Lord Fang will help you in this round. It doesn't count, let's play another round.”
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the butler hurriedly ran over with Chen Sheng.
