Tao Qing took the lead with black and was able to play freely at the beginning. As the game progressed to the middle, Tao Qing gradually fell into a disadvantage.
The war entered a stalemate. No matter how hard Tao Qing fought, the opponent could always deal with it steadily. Moreover, from the beginning to the end, Hou San only defended but did not attack.
Occasionally fighting back put Tao Qing in danger. Tao Qing's moves became slower and slower. After about half an hour, Tao Qing almost didn't dare to make a move!
The other party was obviously just coping with his own charge, but he unknowingly lured him into death. His two big dragons had now become lambs to be slaughtered!
According to Tao Qing's calculations, in ten more steps at most, he would definitely be defeated. This is simply unbelievable!
You know, he has really worked hard in this chess game!
Over the years, I have fought against several foreign players, although I have lost more and won less.
However, like now, I obviously have the upper hand, but I am still being led by the other party. This is really the first time!
"I lost!"
After hesitating for a long time, Tao Qing decided to surrender.
"The Marquis was obviously going to win, so why did he throw in the towel and admit defeat?"
Hou San still had that smiling expression on his face.
"You won? Why didn't I notice it?"
Tao Qing shook his head in disappointment and said with a self-deprecating smile.
"Master Marquis, please take a look!"
While Hou San was speaking, he picked up a black stone from the chessboard, and then placed it on the Tianyuan position in the center of the chessboard!
This made Tao Qing even more confused. After the chess piece fell, it directly cut off the vitality of a large number of sunspots. Can this be won?
"Master Hou, don't be anxious!"
While Hou San was speaking, he began to clean up the eaten black stones. After losing this burden, black's chess actually changed its situation!
Tao Qing's eyes widened, and he involuntarily picked up the chess pieces again. The two of them moved one at a time, and in less than seven moves, they actually forced the mighty white chess to the sky with no way out!
"Wonderful!"
After Tao Qing put down the chess pieces, he suddenly felt a little enlightened, and he was willing to put down the chess pieces and live again!
Now, isn't he the sunspot that has reached the point of death?
Seeing that Tao Qing was deep in thought, Hou San did not interrupt. He just bent down and waved, then slowly exited the room with his two maids.
"Mr. Marquis has been kept waiting for a long time!"
While Tao Qing was reminiscing, a woman's voice came from outside the door.
"Your Majesty is..."
The man wore a black burqa and covered most of his face in a conical hat, so Tao Qing naturally couldn't recognize him.
"Shen, Mrs. Shen!"
After the woman took off her burqa, Tao Qing immediately recognized that the person standing in front of him was His Majesty's beloved concubine, Mrs. Shen.
How is this possible? Now that the palace doors are closed at this time, how could Mrs. Shen leave the palace at this time and come here to meet him?
"Why are you making such a fuss, Lord Marquis? Today is the 100th day of my nephew's life, so I specially asked Enzhi to come out for a wedding drink!"
Mrs. Shen stretched out her hand to pour herself a cup of tea and said with a faint smile.
"Then, I don't know, Madam, today..."
Tao Qing suddenly felt his mouth go dry. In any case, it was really inappropriate for him to meet Mrs. Shen here at this time. If this was exposed, I am afraid that his position as a Marquis would be ruined. Can't keep it.
"Don't be nervous, Mr. Marquis. This place is very secret and no one will disturb you. My wife invited Mr. Marquis here today because she just wants to discuss some things with him!"
Although Mrs. Shen said so, Tao Qing's heart was still pounding.
Although he had lost his position, he really felt a little tired of being in the company of a harem woman.
"I wonder what Madam has to discuss with me?"
Tao Qing took a deep breath, tried his best to calm down his emotions, and said in a calm tone.
"I know that the Marquis has just suffered a big loss. Coincidentally, I don't have a good impression of His Highness, the Acting King. Moreover, I happen to have some connections in my hands, but I don't know if the Marquis is willing to join the gang. !”
Mrs. Shen's face was full of playful smile.
This made Tao Qing's heart skip a beat. Mrs. Shen's words had made it very clear. Although he didn't want to have anything to do with Mrs. Shen, he now had to admit that he was in a dead end. Without the noble If we help him, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to improve again.
"Since we are going to make a big gamble, of course I hope to know how many chips Madam holds in her hand!"
After a little hesitation, Tao Qing finally made up his mind.
"Mr. Li!"
Mrs. Shen suddenly smiled and clapped her hands. Then, a rather handsome middle-aged man walked in from outside.
"Why are you here?"
When he saw the man, Tao Qing's eyes immediately widened, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Why can't I be here? The Marquis is joking!"
"Madam, your matters are really too big, so just pretend that I haven't come here!"
When Tao Qing saw the man, his face had an expression as if he had seen a ghost.
"Master Hou, you have to think clearly. After stepping out of this door, no one in the world will dare to associate with Master Hou. From now on, Master Hou will be fighting alone. He shouldn't really feel that , you can compete with His Highness the King on your own, right?"
"Li Haomin! Shut up!"
Tao Qing is like a cat whose tail has been stepped on, and Li Haomin is a retainer of King Wu. Didn't this boy die in the prison of Tingwei Mansion? Why are you still alive and kicking here now?
However, these are not important anymore. King Wu is already finished at this time, and the entire Wu Kingdom will soon be completely purged. At this time, he does not want to have anything to do with these people!
"Why should you be nervous, Lord Marquis? I can stand here safely, doesn't this in itself explain a lot of things? His Highness King Wu has indeed failed, but so what? Lord Marquis, don't forget, as the old saying goes, Baizu The insect is dead but not stiff!"
Li Haomin had a gentle smile on his face. Tao Qing had no way out. He knew this very well!
"You! What on earth do you want to do? Don't dare to get involved in this rebellion!"
Tao Qing's breathing became a little rapid, and he asked again with his trembling right hand.
"The Marquis is joking. Now the Han Dynasty has just experienced a great chaos. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers are waiting for danger. To rebel at this time is not something a wise man would do. We just want to add some trouble to His Highness the King and find something to do. , that’s all!”
