"Because I know you will be soft-hearted!" Xu Qingmo looked into Xie Suyu's eyes and said softly.
Xie Suyu suddenly realized: "You can see through people's hearts, so you are betting that I will be soft-hearted?"
"Zhuge Liang's empty city plan was based on Sima Yi's suspicion, and it was precisely because of his suspicion that Sima Yi retreated. This is a tactic!" Xu Qingmo looked at the chessboard in front of him and said softly.
"So, by using such a fierce chess move in the first game, you were testing His Highness' chess style?" He Wenlin on the side reacted.
Xu Qingmo nodded: "Yes, when most people meet a new opponent for the first time, most of the time, they slowly test it out and understand it. But at this time, both sides will be on guard, which makes it difficult to figure out. It's better to cheat a round. If you are lucky, you can win. If you are not lucky, you will only lose the first round!"
Meng Hetong, who was standing behind Xu Qingmo, laughed directly: "Xu Qingmo, from the moment you picked up the chess pieces, you have already laid out three games, leading us step by step into the trap you had prepared earlier. in!"
Xu Qingmo picked up the melon seeds on the side and cracked them one by one: "Actually, the prince insisted on playing chess with me before. I also followed this method. The path of chess depends on human nature. The seventh prince is indecisive. His chess skills are obviously much better than mine, but he Because of his indecision, I cut off all options!"
Xie Suyu frowned and said nothing.
"What about the prince?" Meng Hetong couldn't help but ask.
Xu Qingmo paused, and then said: "The prince's chess game is bad! It's normal to lose to me!"
Xie Suyu glanced at Xu Qingmo. He knew clearly that Xu Qingmo was not telling the truth, so he said: "There are no outsiders here, you can tell the truth!"
Xu Qingmo smiled: "I'm telling the truth!"
Xie Suyu stared at Xu Qingmo for a long time, and finally smiled helplessly: "You are very smart. Marquis Ning Yuan has really given birth to a pair of good children, who are capable of both literary and military skills. They are very powerful!"
"Thank you for your compliments, Your Highness!" Xu Qingmo smiled, his eyebrows unchanged.
Perhaps because there were too many people here, the queen and the others walked over slowly. When the queen saw Xie Suyu and Xu Qingmo sitting together playing chess, she was a little surprised at first, and then walked over with a smile.
After Xu Qingmo saw the queen coming, he quickly replaced a chess piece, then stood up and saluted: "The queen, ladies and gentlemen, may you be blessed!"
The queen smiled and spared Xu Qingmo's gift, then walked to the edge of the chessboard: "Are you playing chess here? Who wins?"
"Of course His Highness won!" Xu Qingmo said with a smile.
At this moment, Xu Qingmo's whole body exuded a well-behaved aura, and there was no trace of the arrogant look just now.
The queen lowered her head and looked at it carefully, following the chess path bit by bit, and was a little surprised: "It's true, but it won't be easy to win this game. Miss Xu is still quite powerful!"
It was only then that Xie Suyu discovered that Xu Qingmo had secretly changed chess pieces. He glanced at Xu Qingmo and then said, "Miss Xu is very good at chess!"
Xie Suyu said this, so naturally the curious empress and daughter came forward to take a look.
Xu Qingmo took the opportunity to hide in a corner. Just when she was about to escape, someone grabbed her belt. Xu Qingmo turned around with a shocked face and saw Meng Hetong pulling her belt: "What are you doing?"
"Don't even think about running away alone!" Meng Hetong said calmly without raising his eyes.
Xu Qingmo was a little annoyed, but if there was anything he could do, he could only say: "Open your eyes and see clearly. When the girls gather around the Seventh Prince, we will take the opportunity to slip away!"
"You sold the seventh prince, aren't you afraid that he will settle the score with you?" Meng Hetong frowned slightly.
"I am a boudoir girl, what kind of debt can he ask me for?" Xu Qingmo raised his eyebrows, "You can't beat me!"
Meng Hetong was speechless, and then decided to run away with Xu Qingmo.
Not long after the two of them slipped out, Xu Qingmo was suddenly dragged to a corner by Meng Hetong.
Just when Xu Qingmo was about to curse, Meng Hetong suddenly said: "Look, is that your eldest brother?"
Xu Qingmo was stunned, and then followed Meng Hetong's gaze. Sure enough, it was Xu Yanquan standing there, and there was a petite girl following him: "That woman looks familiar..."
"That's Princess Zhengyang!" Meng Hetong said softly, "Our only princess!"
Xu Qingmo raised his eyebrows: "That's right. I usually look at my brother blankly, but he can still hook up with the princess! It's a pity. Our family is a military general, but we can't marry this princess!"
"Huh?" Meng Hetong raised his eyebrows slightly, "Why do you say that?"
"Princess Zhengyang is the biological sister of His Highness the Seventh Prince!" Xu Qingmo said softly, "If you marry the direct princess to my brother, doesn't His Majesty make it clear that His Highness the Seventh Prince and His Highness the Crown Prince will have a ring? So I think, most likely It’s Princess Zhengyang who has taken a liking to my brother!”
Meng Hetong looked at Xu Qingmo beside him, pondered for a long time, and then said: "Xu Qingmo, if you were a man, the one who attacked the title wouldn't be your eldest brother, right?"
"If I were a man, I wouldn't compete with my brother for any title!" Xu Qingmo snorted, "My brother is the most kind-hearted, and he will give it to me as long as I want it, but this title... It’s not that easy to sit on!”
Meng Hetong was silent and did not speak.
"You sit in that position, and you have to bear the responsibility of that position. My eldest brother was clearly selected, but because he was the prince of Ningyuan, he went to the battlefield. He could obviously be an official with a pen, but he picked up a sword and a gun. This title is really Are you okay?" Xu Qingmo said lightly, "It's so cold at high places. In addition to power and position, there are countless people who are helpless!"
Meng Hetong just stared at Xu Qingmo for a long time, and after a long time, he said: "When you killed those horse thieves, I thought you were just reckless, but now I know that you have a plan in mind, and you can see it clearly better than anyone else. !”
"I'm just decisive enough!" Xu Qingmo looked back at Meng Hetong, "I gave them a chance, but they didn't cherish it. When I was in the countryside, I heard a saying, if you see a snake, either don't provoke it, or you must Kill him, do you know why?"
"Because snakes will hold grudges!" Meng Hetong said, "A person who wants to harm you will always have countless ways to make it difficult for people to prevent you. The only way is to prevent him from doing it!"
"This method is to turn him into a dead person!" Xu Qingmo looked into Meng Hetong's eyes and said word by word.
