Xu Nuo thought to herself that she was an adult in her twenties after all. If she was molested by a naughty kid in her early teens, she could really hit the wall.
Relying on her status as a special police officer in her previous life, she acted boldly and sometimes even without regard for the consequences, thinking that she could solve any difficulty she encountered with her own strength. After all, she was confident that her skills were superior.
How could I expect that Xu Qian would use such a trick!
Xu Qian is currently under grounding and has difficulty communicating with the outside world. She may have come up with this method, but the medicine was probably prepared by Aunt Du. She has always looked down on her biological mother, Aunt Du, but she has never refused to take advantage of her. If things go wrong this time, it will only be Aunt Du who will be punished in the end.
Xu Nuo had to admit that Xu Qian had understood her thoughts thoroughly and knew that she loved tea ceremony. If she had a good tea set, she would definitely go see it in person, and she could easily lure away Chun Tang and Qiyue with the gimmick of hairpins. And he predicted that she would not be distracted when ordering tea, and by the time she smelled the aroma, it would be too late.
His body couldn't move, but Xu Nuo's mind was spinning quickly, and he came up with five or six feasible ways to deal with Du Chen.
Du Chen came to Suzhou City without telling Mr. Du. He had just avoided the Du family's maid all the way. It was very hard and he felt a little thirsty, so he picked up the unbrewed tea on the tea table and drank it all.
Xu Nuo thought this was a good opportunity and was about to take action, not wanting anyone to be faster than her.
A black shadow jumped in, and a huge sack was pulled directly over Du Chen's head, from head to toe.
The speed was so fast that Du Chen had no time to fight back.
The man quickly tied the sack with a hemp rope and dragged the sack out. Du Chen was using his hands and feet in the sack and yelling. But to no avail.
Xu Nuo was stunned, why is it Xiao Yuan? What is he doing here?
Xiao Yuan came back after only a few breaths, followed by two boys who came in carrying a chessboard and moved the tea table away quickly. Replace the chessboard.
Although the two of them were dressed as young servants, their steps were light and their breathing was shallow. They were obviously practicing practitioners, and their skills and demeanor were extraordinary, but their attitudes were respectful. Obviously he was in awe of Xiao Yuan.
"Why are you here? Who are you? What is your purpose?" Xu Nuo felt that although Xiao Yuan was dangerous, he seemed to have no ill intentions. After all, Xiao Yuan and Zhu Shang seemed to have a good relationship, and Zhu Shang was entrusted by Jing Ping to take care of her. He wanted to come Xiao Yuan will not hurt her.
And the longer it takes, the better her physical recovery will be. If she really fights against Xiao Yuan in the end, she won't be able to defeat him, but she can escape. What's more, in the past two months, she has been exercising every day, and her movements are much more agile than when she first met Xiao Yuan. She may not be his opponent. .
Xiao Yuan smiled jokingly, lifted up his robe and sat on the side of the chessboard, making a gesture of invitation. He said calmly: "Of course I came here to enjoy the peony flowers, but suddenly I wanted to find someone to play chess with, so I came here. If Mrs. Liu can beat me, I will answer your remaining two questions."
Xu Nuo shook her head. She wanted to conserve her energy at the moment and would not do anything to waste it.
But in my heart, I was thinking that every time I saw Xiao Yuan, he gave people a different feeling. Whether it was temperament or behavior, it seemed that he was not the same person. Did those rumors really drive him into schizophrenia?
What puzzled her the most was a man who was rumored to have killed the queen, prince, and mother. Surprisingly, he is still alive and well till now.
Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng had few heirs, and most of them died in infancy. It was not easy for King Zhou to grow to nine years old. The rumor that Xiao Yuan defeated the King of Zhou spread so widely that Zhao Heng obviously did not stop it. He ended the rumor with imperial power and also did not attack Xiao Yuan.
Xiao Yuan didn't care about the rejection of his promise. He took out a white piece from the chess jar and landed it on the diagonal point, with a rare seriousness on his face.
In ancient times, Go was played with white playing first and black playing second. It was not until modern times that it changed to black playing first and white playing second.
Xu Nuo still didn't move, looking at his hand in a daze, Xiao Yuan took out a brown pill from his sleeve: "This pill can help Liu Niang's physical strength recover faster." At least she has the strength to play chess.
Xu Nuo's eyes lit up, he took the pill and swallowed it without any hesitation.
"Sirius Six, aren't you afraid that what I gave you is poison?" Xiao Yuan asked with a smile, and at the same time pushed Heizi's chess jar in front of Xu Nuo's right hand. His fingers had clear joints and were very slender. There was a thin layer of calluses at the tiger's mouth. He had obviously been practicing martial arts all year round. Caused.
Xu Nuo felt much better after taking the pills, and replied without changing his expression: "If you really want to harm me now, why do you need to do these things."
With one pill, the two reached a consensus and started playing chess.
Last time in the Liyuan, Wang Muyu said that Xu Qian's endgame was broken by a young man in black at one glance, and Xu Nuo knew it was Xiao Yuan.
Because among the dozen or so teenagers in the theater that day, no one wore black except Xiao Yuan, and her ability to quickly break the game was indeed related to seeing Xu Qian's chess records, so she didn't know who was better between herself and Xiao Yuan.
Xiao Yuan has such attainments in chess at such a young age, which shows that he is very talented. She really wants to play against him and compete.
She originally liked holding the black man, so Xiao Yuan went first to her liking.
The two were sitting upright, and from time to time someone would drop a twist. The room was very quiet, but the fight between the two on the chessboard at the four corners was very fierce.
Gold corners and silver edges are useless. If you want to win chess, you can have an advantage in the four corners, and the possibility of winning will increase.
Xu Nuo played chess with his grandfather in his previous life, and through long-term practice, he developed his current chess skills, and his foundation is quite solid. At Xu's house, she first studied Xu Qian's chess book, and then borrowed several chess books and original copies from Xu Gucheng, studying them all day long. Later, she played against Xu Gucheng several times, and even if she was willing to give in, she could get a draw.
Chess skills have improved compared to previous lives.
Xu Gucheng's chess style is similar to that of Xu Nuo. He plays steadily and carefully, starting from the first piece. If he encounters an opponent who underestimates the enemy, he can take a piece of the opponent's piece, which is enough to defeat the opponent miserably.
Xiao Yuan's style of chess is ever-changing. One moment he plays the game very aggressively, another moment he plays in an eccentric way, and the next moment he plays loosely and moves his pieces everywhere.
His chess style is very similar to his person, his temperament is erratic and confusing.
In the second half of the game, Xu Nuo realized that Xiao Yuan's chess style was not fickle, but that he was attacking in the east and west to deceive others, and played a big game!
Fortunately, she has lived a long life and accumulated a lot of experience. He was not led astray by Xiao Yuan.
Xiao Yuan dropped the last white piece and kept counting the pieces seriously without talking to Xu Nuo.
There are three hundred and sixty-one cross points on the chessboard. At this point, Xu Nuo already knew that he had lost a piece, but Xiao Yuan was counting the pieces with such a serious look. Could it be that he was not good at mathematics?
Xiao Yuan counted quickly. Showing a bright smile: "You lose."
This game was more difficult for him than ever before. Now that he knew he had won, he naturally smiled without realizing it. He hadn't had this smile from the heart, without a mask, for many years.
At the same time, he was also happy to promise to learn his true identity and his ugly reputation. Her attitude towards him has not changed at all, and there is nothing in her eyes other than calmness, caution, inquiry or contempt. No wonder that guy Hu Ling likes to play with Xu Nuo.
The corners of Xu Nuo's lips curled up slightly, and a smile rippled in her eyes. She was a competitive person. But it’s not something you can’t afford to lose. It was a fact that her chess skills were not as good as Xiao Yuan's, but she had a lot of fun playing this game. Although she couldn't ask Xiao Yuan questions, she didn't feel regretful.
At this moment, Aunt Du came in angrily carrying a sack. Seeing Xu Nuo sitting contentedly in front of the chessboard and smiling cheerfully, she became even more angry and cursed: "Xu Liu Niang, look at the good things you have done!"
As he spoke, he threw the sack onto Xu Nuo.
A game of chess is over. Xu Nuo had regained a lot of strength. He met Aunt Du's furious eyes without giving in and stood up calmly. Smiling and asked: "What did you say I did, what did you do?"
Aunt Du originally waited by the flower garden with a guilty conscience, but was later taken to the backyard by the servant. When she saw her brother being thrown into the bucket, she suddenly became angry and came to question him.
Xu Nuo asked rhetorically. Aunt Du didn't speak, she glared at Xu Nuo and raised her hand.
Xiao Yuan saw Aunt Du's movements and was about to stand up to stop her. But he saw Xu Nuo slap Aunt Du on the face without mercy.
Aunt Du was beaten and took two steps back. She covered her face with her hands and looked at Xu Nuo in disbelief: "Xu Liu Niang. What are you going to do? See if I don't tear your mouth open."
She was about to rush over, but two men came outside to help her out. They were the two men who had moved the chessboard before.
Xiao Yuan bowed and said solemnly: "I did all this. I will explain to the Du family that you don't have to worry." After speaking, he turned and left.
Xu Nuo frowned imperceptibly. He seemed to have a deep background, but this was Suzhou after all, not Bianjing. If he treated the legitimate son and daughter of the Du family so rudely, the matter might not be easy to solve.
After Xiao Yuan left, she also left quickly. She went to find the tea stove in the ear room, and then went to the flower garden to find Chun Tang and Qiyue. The three of them left quickly.
Returning to Xu Mansion, Xu Nuo went directly to Xu Gucheng's study in the outer courtyard. When he heard someone talking inside, he knocked on the door gently: "Dad."
Xu Gucheng responded and opened the door. Standing behind him was a tall man. The edges on his face were as sharp as a knife. He seemed to have gone through many hardships, and it was Su Ye.
Suye saluted Xunuo and left. Xunuo told Xu Gucheng what happened today, and showed the tea stove to Xu Gucheng, without mentioning Xu Qian or Aunt Du. But she knew that with her father's keenness, she was already aware of the person behind the scenes.
Xu Gucheng's face was as dark as water. He called Suye in and asked him to check the charcoal fire in the tea stove and the people who had recently entered and left Xu's house.
Before Xu Nuo left, he asked in a strange way: "Dad, I heard that Xiao Langjun defeated Queen Guo and King Zhou to death. Everyone in the Wang family avoided mentioning him. But when you heard that I played chess with him, why didn't you? Not worried at all?"
"This boy is not stubborn. I think he is a talent that can be made. There is nothing wrong with comparing chess skills." Xu Gu didn't mind the issue of promises. Cheng said gently: "Rumors are for wise men. Some things are just based on rumors." Hundred, it may not be true. Liu Niang, you have to see everything with your own eyes to confirm, and don't jump to conclusions."
Xu Gucheng said this from the bottom of his heart, but what he didn't tell Xu Nuo was that Xiao Yuan's mother was the legitimate daughter of the Zhang family. Her brother Zhang Qi was a person whom the emperor trusted very much. When Concubine De had not entered the palace, the emperor arranged for her to be in Zhang Qi's house. Lived at home for fifteen years.
The emperor doted on Concubine De very much, and he also loved the Zhang family very much, so Xiao Yuan's backers were the emperor and Concubine De. (To be continued)
