"Flowers bloom like a golden age, nurtured by the heart.”
The white-robed necromancer reached out his hand and stroked the delicate peony petals, murmuring softly.
"Master, it's your turn to place your piece."
As the black chess piece fell, a strange fluctuation suddenly emerged on the chessboard. The entire chessboard seemed to come alive, and countless armored soldiers clashed and killed each other, emitting a great power.
"Oh, gathering the power of heaven and earth and placing a piece. Xing 'er, your chess skills have improved again.”
The white-robed necromancer smiled slightly, and a trace of surprise appeared on his face.
A few years ago, he was a nameless necromancer in Chang 'an. But now, he was a hot star in front of Empress Wu Zhao.
Peony Necromancer-Ming Shiyin!
He was the one who had entered the Eastern Palace and caused the Crown Prince to be deposed. Unfortunately…those who had witnessed this scene were already asleep on the ground.
As for the young man in front of him.
Great Tang's number one chess saint, the genius youth Yi Xing!
Five years ago.
The envoy from Fusang paid an audience with the empress and took out precious jade chess pieces to spar with the national chess players in Chang 'an. He even defeated several chess pieces in a row and waited for the imperial edict. For a time, no one in the imperial court dared to accept the challenge.
When the Peony Necromancer recommended this talented youth, the Fusang envoy mocked the Tang Empire for having no talent and actually sent a child to fight. Even the civil and military officials of the court were disgraced, and the Empress 'phoenix eyes were filled with anger.
The young man stepped forward and said calmly," This battle, regardless of success or failure, only life and death will be decided.”
The whole hall was silent.
Even Empress Wu Zhao couldn't help but be moved. This young man's boldness was far beyond ordinary people. Just this sense of responsibility and courage was enough to make all the officials in the court pale in shame.
In the end.
Within two hours, the envoy from Fusang was defeated. From then on, the name of the chess star shook Chang 'an and was personally bestowed by the Empress as the number one national player of the Tang Empire!
Since then, the national chess player had become a hot topic among countless dignitaries and young women in Chang 'an.
However, no one knew.
This genius national player who was famous in Chang 'an was only a beggar with wounds all over his body.
It was Peony Fang Shi Ming Shiyin who saved him and taught him the way of chess.
After the victory, Yi Xing did not show the arrogance and madness that his age should have. Instead, he lived quietly in the Qingli Villa and rarely walked around Chang 'an. The legends about him seemed to have been gradually forgotten with the passage of time, just like a bright meteor streaking across the sky.
"Master, you're too kind. I haven't won a match against you yet.”
Yi Xing sighed.
Even though he was known as Chang 'an's number one national player, no one knew that he had never won a match against the Peony Fang Shi, Ming Shiyin.
"Bright Yi, the sign of darkness. When the wind blows, be careful…"
Mingshi Yin didn't answer Yi Xing. He just stared into the distance and tapped his fingers lightly as if he was calculating something.
"A dragon lurks in the Great Tang, the wind and clouds surge, the waves rise…"
"Master."
Yi Xing's eyes flickered.
He had followed Mingshi Yin for many years. In his heart, his master was the strongest person in the world. Even the ruler of the world in the palace couldn't compare to his master. Everything seemed to be calculated according to his master, and there had never been any mistakes.
And today.
However, this was the first time he saw an expression of surprise on Mingshi Yin's face.
There were some things that seemed to be beyond his master's divination skills.
"Did the Blood Crow bring news from the Supreme Court? Are we going over too?"
Yi Xing looked at the blood crow on the peony and said seriously.
The Supreme Court had arranged for people to monitor the Qingli Villa at all times. In other words…ever since Mingshi Yin had divined three things for the Great Empress, the Supreme Court had always been by his side.
However, at the same time.
Ming Shi Yin's eyes were everywhere in Chang 'an City.
"It's fine. Sometimes, it's better to wait and see.”
Mingshi Yin smiled and slowly sat down in front of the chessboard. He put down the white chess piece in his hand.
……
At the end of Vermilion Bird West Street.
At the Mobile Games Hall.
The bright moon hung high in the sky, and the mercury-like moonlight sprinkled down.
Two beautiful figures landed on the ground like fairies.
"Is it here?"
Yang Yuhuan, who was dressed in a long palace dress, was surprised.
She did not sense any demonic aura here.
In fact, any mechanism technique was complementary to the demonic path, especially the core of the mechanism, which often required demonic path formation scripts and demonic cores to activate. Her perception was extremely sharp, so she could naturally clearly sense the energy fluctuations around her.
"This is the place! Let's go in quickly! Sister Yuhuan!"
Hua Jianwu Gongsun Li's beautiful eyes lit up. She held Yang Yuhuan's hand and quickly rushed into the mobile game hall.
She had already fallen in love with the games here, especially after obtaining the skin card from Ye Rong. This excitement and anticipation was even more indescribable.
Yang Yuhuan rarely saw Gongsun Li lose his composure like this. She let him hold her soft hand and followed her into the mobile game hall.
