"Since Miss Cheng thinks that I don't know how to play chess, why don't we increase the stakes?”Xiao Tian smiled.
"I'll add it!" After all, she was the daughter of General Cheng. On the surface, she looked like a lady, but deep down, she was very heroic. She reached into her bosom and took out a sachet, pouring out a few taels of silver.
Xiao Tian also reached into his pocket and pretended to touch it. He used 3000 shark's fins to exchange for a sky-blue hairpin. On one side of the hairpin were two fluttering butterflies. It looked as if it was real.
The two girls were of high birth. One was a princess, and the other was the daughter of a general. They had seen many jewelry, but this was the first time they had seen such a beautiful hairpin. Women were naturally immune to beautiful things. The more beautiful a woman was, the more so.
Xiao He, who was at the side, felt her throat dry. She swallowed her saliva and finally held back from snatching it directly!
"Your…your hairpin is too precious. I can't afford to gamble! These seven taels of silver are all my private savings.”Cheng Mingyue said.
Xiao Tian smiled faintly." It's fine. There's a story behind this hairpin. This hairpin is called the Double Butterfly Spring. It was created by a master craftsman who spent a full thirteen years and used up all of his family's wealth. It could be said that this hairpin had taken a lifetime of effort from this master craftsman. However, after the hairpin was forged, this master craftsman discovered that no woman in this world was worthy of this hairpin. Even on the day that the master craftsman was reduced to begging on the streets, he did not sell this hairpin.
Before he died, this Master Alchemist's only wish was to find a suitable owner for this hairpin. After that, this hairpin was in my hands, I was sold into Fang clan and became Fang Yi Ai's attendant. There were a few times when I wanted to take this hairpin out and give it to Fang clan or sell it, but I held back in the end. Now, this hairpin has finally found its owner, and I can finally be considered to have a load off my mind!”
As he spoke, Xiao Tian's expression was rather complicated. He was somewhat gratified, but also somewhat reluctant. Xiao Tian realized that his acting skills had improved again!
"You…you're saying that I'm worthy of this hairpin?”Cheng Mingyue asked in a low voice with a red face.
"Uh…Miss Cheng, I think you must have misunderstood. What I mean is that this hairpin is as if it was tailor-made for Princess Lizhi.”As Xiao Tian spoke, he felt that he had offended Cheng Mingyue too much, so he quickly added,"Of course, this hairpin is also very compatible with Miss Cheng. As long as Miss Cheng can defeat me, then this hairpin will be handed over to Miss Cheng. However, if Miss Cheng loses, I also have a request.”
"What request?"
"I am also excited to see a hunter. I want to draw a painting for each of the two young ladies.”
"Just painting?" Cheng Mingyue couldn't believe it. There was such a good thing?
"That's right, it's just painting!" Xiao Tian said.
Cheng Mingyue hesitated for a moment and said,"Alright, I promise you. However, even if I win, I will use something of equal value to exchange for your hairpin. I, Cheng Mingyue, will not take advantage of you!”
"Haha, good, this is great!" As Xiao Tian spoke, he slammed the hairpin on the table, making the women's hearts ache! He was afraid that Xiao Tian would break the butterfly hairpin.
"Be careful. At least half of this hairpin is already mine!”Cheng Mingyue said unhappily. Then, she picked up a white stone and placed it on the chessboard.
Xiao Tian followed up with a black piece!
Li Lizhi, who was standing at the side, saw Xiao Tianxia's lack of strategy and thought that she was the one who left the game to lose. She couldn't help but remind him,""Be careful. Ming Yue wants to eat your Great Dragon. If you continue like this, at most seven or eight children, your Great Dragon will definitely be lost!”
Then, seeing that Xiao Tian did not take her warning to heart at all and continued to do as he pleased, Li Lizhi became anxious.
As for Cheng Mingyue, just as she was about to place a crucial piece, she suddenly stopped because she realized that her white piece, the dragon that was fighting with the black piece, was actually vaguely surrounded by Xiao Tian from the outside.
This discovery made Cheng Mingyue feel a little admiration for Xiao Tian. He actually managed to survive after being killed. Fortunately, she discovered it early. Otherwise, when the end was about to come, Xiao Tian would probably have made a beautiful reversal.
However, since she had discovered it in advance, she naturally would not give Xiao Tian the chance to surround her. It sped up the process of annexing Blackie's Great Dragon.
Another four or five pieces fell, and Cheng Mingyue finally ended. Without any surprises, she swallowed Xiao Tian's big dragon.
However, this scene was different for Li Lizhi. As an outsider, Li Lizhi clearly realized that Cheng Mingyue had actually allowed Xiao Tian to create another big dragon on the other side in order to speed up the annexation of Xiao Tian's big dragon. Although it could not be compared to the white big dragon that had won a huge victory, it still had the capital to resist. It was much better than the previous situation!
Next, the two of them engaged in an intense battle on the chessboard. They did not give up an inch of land and fought for an inch of stone. Especially Xiao Tian, as long as he had the slightest opportunity, he would take advantage of it. When Cheng Mingyue wanted to counterattack, he would immediately switch to another battlefield. It was like a pack of wolves on the grassland attacking a strong lion. The lion seemed to have the upper hand, but it was already covered in wounds from the wolves.
Whoosh! Cheng Mingyue threw a few pieces on the board and glared at Xiao Tian.""Your chess style is not what a gentleman should do!”
Playing chess was a way to cultivate one's character and pay attention to being calm. Although there were victories and defeats, there was no competition for victory and defeat. People like Xiao Tian, who used all kinds of despicable methods in the game, were despised!
"Miss Cheng, you're wrong. Your father is General Cheng, right? If so, then let me ask you, why wasn't your father beheaded after killing so many people?”
"My father has made great contributions to the Great Tang. Who dares to chop off my head?”
"But I heard that according to the laws of the Great Tang, a murderer must pay with his life.”Xiao Tian asked again.
"That's because they killed innocent people. Naturally, they have to pay with their lives. Otherwise, wouldn't the world be in chaos?”
Xiao Tian smiled." I've summarized what you mean. Basically, there's no right or wrong in killing people. The main thing is to see who you're killing." Similarly, the knife that killed people was not wrong in itself. The person who was wrong was the one holding the knife!”
There was no idiot who could play chess so well. Although Xiao Tian did not continue, Cheng Mingyue and Li Lizhi already knew what Xiao Tian was trying to say.
