Chapter 141 The Duke Admits Defeat
It was already noon and the sunlight was filtering through the paper.
I saw that Yuanbao was surrounded by many New Year picture dolls, each of them lively and lively, some holding their toes, some rolling on the ground...
It is so festive that it makes people feel happy just by looking at it.
It turned out that Hu Xin'er had painted the doll on the back, making the originally boring subject very interesting!
General Xuanyuan laughed heartily: "You are very creative, girl. I like it very much!"
"What? Girl?" Everyone looked surprised.
"General Xuanyuan, I have always admired your honesty, but why are you humiliating this little brother like this today?"
Zhao Yunhao gritted his teeth and spoke up for Hu Xiner.
This young man is dressed in men's clothes, and his words are straightforward and straightforward, and he is very strong-willed. How could he be a girl?
General Xuanyuan must have looked down upon this painting, so he was deliberately being sarcastic to him!
No one expected General Xuanyuan to be such a person. Everyone had the same idea as Zhao Yunhao.
Sensing everyone's questioning gazes, the smile on General Xuanyuan's face slowly faded, and the invisible pressure around him instantly made everyone break out in cold sweats.
Seeing that she had been exposed, Hu Xin'er smiled awkwardly and praised, "General Xuanyuan really has a sharp eye!"
"Your disguise skills are quite good." General Xuanyuan looked at her carefully again.
Hu Xiner swallowed, feeling very panicked, but unwilling to give up.
Just when she was about to give up, General Xuanyuan gathered his aura and said, "The competition will continue after lunch."
He left with these words, turned around and left.
Hu Xiner let out a long sigh and wiped the sweat from her forehead. Everyone looked at her with strange expressions.
Only Mu Qing came over and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, it's just that my identity has been exposed and I can't continue to participate in the competition." Hu Xiner returned to her original voice.
The whole place fell silent, and the handsome young man uttered a sweet voice.
It feels like seeing a real-life fake voice master!
Mr. Wenshan was, after all, well-informed. He stroked his beard and smiled as he said, "The Duke told me that this competition is open to both men and women. Talent is essential. This young lady does not need to leave; she can continue the competition after lunch."
"Can I really continue to participate in the competition and become a servant in the Duke's Mansion?" Hu Xiner jumped up excitedly.
"General Xuanyuan is right. You are indeed a very interesting girl." Mr. Wenshan did not expect her to have such a lively reaction. He paused while stroking his beard and smiled.
He looked at Mu Qing: "Lu Yunjue, who is this talented girl from? If she shows her talent, she will definitely stir up the world in Kyoto!"
What, this handsome man is actually Lu Yunjue?
Everyone's jaws dropped.
Lu Yunjue rarely appeared in public before leaving Beijing, so few people recognized him.
Before Mr. Wenshan revealed his identity, although everyone was attracted by his appearance, they did not think about it in that direction.
I even secretly wondered if he was the princess's lover.
Unexpectedly, he turned out to be the most handsome man whom the eldest princess loved but could not obtain, the dream lover of countless young girls, and the common rival of all men in the capital - Lu Yunjue!
Lu Yunjue bowed and said, "She is just my distant cousin. She is not very talented or well-educated. I am sorry to have embarrassed you, sir."
Seeing that Lu Yunjue didn't want to say more, Mr. Wenshan also knew his temper and didn't bother him any further.
Everyone left one after another. Zhao Yunhao glared at Mu Qing and Hu Xin'er, obviously holding a grudge against them for embarrassing him.
But the two didn't care.
After lunch, the last competition began - chess.
At this time, there were only three people left on the field. Mu Qing was playing against the young man with the painting of cranes, while Hu Xiner was standing aside, feeling a little confused.
Mr. Wenshan smiled and said, "Girl, let me play chess with you."
"Ah?" Hu Xiner looked very embarrassed.
Her chess skills are already very poor, and she wants to play against a famous master like Mr. Wenshan. Isn't this a dead end?
"Why?" Mr. Wenshan smiled and stroked his beard. "Although I'm a bit older, my chess skills are more than enough to compete with you!"
I don’t mind your age, I’m just afraid that you’re too great!
Hu Xiner was so upset that she wanted to cry. If she had known earlier, she would have suggested competing with Mu Qing!
But there is no medicine for regret in the world, so she could only sit down slowly.
General Xuanyuan patted Mr. Wenshan on the shoulder and said, "Get out of the way, old man! I want to fight this interesting girl myself!"
Looking at General Xuanyuan’s performance as an examiner, we can see that all his skill points are focused on martial arts, and his cultural level is not very high.
The winning rate of playing chess with him is much higher than that with Mr. Wenshan!
Hu Xiner quickly agreed.
The game begins with Go.
Hu Xiner held the white piece and started with a very good move, placing the piece on the edge.
Such an unconventional move made General Xuanyuan a little confused.
Mr. Wenshan watched intently for a while, yawned, and went to see the battle situation on Mu Qing's side.
At first he thought Hu Xiner had some tactics, but after watching Hu Xiner place a few moves, he realized that this girl was just making random moves!
Even his 5-year-old son is better than this girl!
General Xuanyuan's brows furrowed more and more, completely unable to understand Hu Xiner's thoughts.
Just as she was picking up a chess piece, Hu Xin'er suddenly shouted happily, "I won!"
Mr. Wenshan was shocked. It had been less than half an hour, how could he win?
According to Hu Xiner's way of playing, even if General Xuanyuan let go, he wouldn't be able to do it so quickly!
Because playing chess takes time, the last match is deliberately held in the afternoon.
When he walked over and took a look, he was speechless: “Little girl, you are so messed up now, how did you win?”
Hu Xin'er pointed at the white pieces on the board and said, "Look, these five pieces are connected in a line. In Gobang, you win by connecting five pieces!"
Mr. Wenshan shook his head and stamped his feet. "Wrong, wrong. This isn't Gobang! Little girl, you know nothing about Go. I don't think we need to continue this game. I'll just give you the loss. It'll save you some face."
"How can this be?" Hu Xin'er said confidently, "Isn't Gobang considered chess? Besides, you didn't specify what kind of chess we should play! If I win, I win."
"You're just making up stories!" Mr. Wenshan finally understood. "I think you can't defeat General Xuanyuan, so you're using this method to win!"
As the two argued, General Xuanyuan actually laughed heartily: "Haha, I give up!"
You have to know that this is a dignified duke who has never fought a single battle and is a tough guy, but he admits defeat to a little girl!
Everyone couldn't help but marvel at it. Hu Xin'er actually made General Xuanyuan willingly admit defeat so quickly?
On the other side, Mu Qing and his opponent were playing a very close game of chess. Both of them were very focused, and everyone was watching from the side.
