At this time, Chu Zhan was also playing chess in the position where Nan Wuyou originally sat. He looked more and more energetic, and his chess skills were comparable to Zhao Xin's.
The main reason is that the chess moves are chaotic, with no rules in the early stages and then become connected in the later stages. Therefore, after you build a good structure in the early stages, it is not easy to be defeated by one piece in the end.
"Your Highness, I have won about three or five games. Could it be that Your Highness doesn't want to take the first-place white jade chessboard and send it back to Dongwu to present to His Majesty?"
This is particularly pleasing to the ear.
My father had heard of this before and had planned to go to the Eastern Wu to see who was stronger. However, the old emperor himself would not lead his troops to the Great Qin Palace just to compete in a chess match.
So he brought this chess skill to the palace of Dongwu as a guide. However, Dongwu was not good at Go, so they took a new form, chess.
Chess has a long and extensive history in this region, and is often played during festivals and even in people's spare time.
So he seized on this point and let that group of people enter his palace to compete with each other.
As expected, he was not disappointed, and he secretly admired the goodness of the Emperor of Qin.
Sure enough, the implementation of his plan from beginning to end was correct, and once the chess game started, it would attract not only the common people of Dongwu but also troops from various counties.
People from other countries and even various noble families would come one after another, and the activity of recruiting talented people would be much easier at that time.
Besides, the gift is just a little hard to find, so he would be happy to use anything to lure this strong man out!
Zhao Xin had originally planned to show up during the inspection, but he never expected that Chu Zhan, who was worthy of being the protagonist, would play chess as well as him.
Even his own talent was overshadowed by him. Zhao Xin watched Chu Zhan play chess from his high position from beginning to end, but he couldn't tell what he was planning to do in the early stages.
It feels like his chess playing style is just as disorganized as your own. In the early stage, he looks like a bad chess player and no one pays attention to him. Until the later stage, he comes one after another and surrounds you, making people applaud.
It's good, but it can be irritating.
"Congratulations to the people brought by the Crown Prince of Dongwu for successfully entering the top ten.
"No one in the top twenty is giving you any slack. I hope you can show your abilities and compete in the top ten to top five. I will always be waiting for you here, waiting for you to take the white jade chessboard."
"I will also give you a first-class reward. As for what it is, the victor will reveal it himself."
These words made those people excited and they applauded. In the end, the winner naturally went back to the house to rest with joy.
For those who failed, Zhao Xin had set a rule at the time: anyone who failed to make it into the top 100 would receive a consolation prize. The consolation prize was a silver ingot.
Whether it can be spent or not is not important. What is important is that it has value as a collection, because the national emblem of the Qin Dynasty is engraved on the back!
Qi Peng's mission had also changed. He didn't ask Chu Zhan to step down quickly. He would try his best to get a certain prize, and it would all depend on his luck. If he could really grab the first prize, the white jade chessboard, he would give this guy something of equal value.
Besides, what could the emperor possibly lack? Qi Peng's only purpose in coming here was to win glory for himself. After all, he was now the crown prince of Wu, so he had to be able to convince the ministers. Otherwise, he didn't know what would happen after he took the throne.
And in half a month, I'm afraid my parents' birthday party will be here. Even if I can't get the white jade chessboard, I have to pay for it.
After all, his father also loved playing chess, and was even obsessed with it. But he seemed to have forgotten one thing: his father played chess, not Go...
"Your Majesty, do you not want me to pretend to lose?"
Chu Zhan asked this uncertainly, and the other party nodded angrily.
"I don't need that. Besides, you just need to get me that white jade chessboard. After all, I've already decided who to give it to."
"Besides, I'll let you take down the emperor's prestige."
He actually said that no one could beat him, but he didn't believe it!
Even if Chu Zhan turned out to be a loser, he would still have to lead his men to fight again next year! Or fight the emperor privately. No matter what, the White Jade Chessboard must be his!
If it's not his, then he can only rob it. If he can't rob it, he can only collect one from the people himself.
"Your Majesty, what are you thinking about?"
"Don't call me Your Majesty so early. The matter is still unresolved, and I am still very far from the throne. What will those people think of me if they hear you calling me Your Majesty?"
"Prince, I know my mistake and I will understand next time."
Chu Zhan thought to himself why this man was more nagging than a woman, but since he was already using her, it was not easy for him to say no, so in the end he agreed clearly.
Qi Peng then nodded, realizing he understood, and left. The two attendants around him were particularly concerned today, standing guard in front of Chu Zhan's door, afraid he would even step out.
"I'm afraid I didn't see His Majesty give you such an order when I left. So what's the point of you standing guard at my door now? Are you meddling or are you afraid I might rebel?"
"Mr. Chu, you're joking. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's white jade chessboard is now dependent on you. How dare we, your subordinates, say that you're right?"
"As for guarding you, young master, think of it this way. If I don't guard you, what if you're attacked by someone in a high position or a certain player, and then fed some kind of magic potion... wouldn't that pose a threat to our White Jade Chessboard?"
Good man, in the end, you are just afraid that this precious chessboard will be lost, and that will make him anxious, right?
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince of Dongwu has always been strict and caring about his people. Not only does he love his people, but he also loves the subjects of the kingdom. It is naturally impossible for Your Majesty to do such a shameless thing."
"What about the rumor about the thirty women a few days ago? I heard there was also a Painted Skin girl. I heard she was so beautiful before, but because of her pimples on her face, Qi Peng was dumbfounded."
And that person has been wearing a veil for years and never lets anyone take it off. Qi Peng thought that this person was as beautiful as a fairy, but he never expected that she would be so beautiful.
"What's that man's name?"
“Could it be that you still like a fat, ugly, and chubby woman, since there are so many beautiful ladies waiting for you to choose.
"Do you think I have poor judgment, choosing someone who is going to be crushed to death right here on the bed?"
There is no way that Miss Qianjin Goddess can still be alive. I'm afraid she is not far from death.
