"Bang"
"Bang"
"Bang"
"Boom!"
Don't be surprised why such a sound is made. It would be strange if the unlucky person didn't fall when climbing over the wall.
The person who got up brushed off the dust on his body, and several dark shadows looked at each other. Since none of them came here to do anything bad, they did not cover their faces.
After seeing who the other person was, they nodded to each other in a friendly manner, walked towards the inner courtyard hall where the lights were still on and knocked gently on the door.
"Come in." A clear and elegant female voice came out softly from inside.
When Xuanyuan He and his companions opened the door, they saw a man and a woman sitting cross-legged on a couch, playing chess with black and white chess pieces in their hands.
There is also a person leaning slightly on a chair and reading a book. The scene is quiet and leisurely.
None of them were surprised at their arrival in the middle of the night, as if their arrival was entirely expected.
An Xin placed a black piece on the chessboard. This seemingly casual placement made Jiang Xuan, who usually kept his emotions secret, frown slightly.
He raised his narrow and long phoenix eyes, and his eyes moved with natural nobility, and at this moment he couldn't help but smile helplessly.
I originally thought that even if I couldn't beat her at chess, I wouldn't lose either.
Jiang Xuan lowered his eyes and looked at the chess piece that An Xin had casually dropped, his eyes revealing a hint of admiration. The outcome of this game had already been decided, and he could not struggle any longer.
He shook his head secretly, it seemed that he overestimated himself.
Even he didn't expect An Xin's chess skills to be so superb.
Originally, I wanted to give in to her at the beginning, but I didn't expect that I would be killed without a single piece of armor left on the chessboard and die so miserably.
After Bai Yuheng and other three came in, they saw the two people playing chess. For people of their status, they could only play half of the game against Li Qianhui, a military general.
The other three could not say that they were chess masters, but considering that they were born into aristocratic families and had learned the six arts of a gentleman, they were quite proficient in chess.
Seeing that An Xin used just one piece to make the opponent lose the whole game when it seemed like they would surely win with four moves still made them open their eyes wide in surprise.
Such a reversal would probably make them lose miserably even if they were put in Jiang Xuan's position.
Seeing a sure-win situation being easily defeated by a chess piece, they probably don't have Jiang Xuan's magnanimity and their mentality may collapse.
An Xin didn't seem to notice the surprise on their faces.
Glancing at the dust on their clothes, An Xin secretly smiled.
Just now they heard a sound coming from the yard in the house. It should be the sound of several people falling over the wall. Judging from the dust marks on their clothes, they must have fallen quite hard.
Logically speaking, since Li Qianhui was a military general, the three courtyard walls should not be a problem for him, let alone he would fall off the top of the wall. But who made him unlucky today?
Seeing An Xin's eyes looking at him, he subconsciously patted the dusty corner of his robe.
An Xin wanted to laugh when he saw his attempt to cover up his guilt.
"Cough." Leng Xiangbai raised his hand to his lips and coughed lightly, reminding his little Shan Zhang to restrain himself.
After all, the visitors are guests. Even though they come late at night, they are still a friendly country of Daqian, so they still have to give them some face.
Jiang Xuan raised his hand and took the kettle to pour a cup of fragrant tea for each of them, "Please!"
Xuanyuan He, Bai Yuheng, Li Qianhui, and Su Yanqiu all took a step back in fear when they saw the tea that Jiang Xuan poured for them on the table.
An Xin held her chin and looked at the frightened faces of several people. If she had not drunk the tea, she would have thought that what Jiang Xuan poured for them was not tea, but cups of poison.
The four of them shook their heads. Xuanyuan He and Bai Yuheng were also afraid that An Xin and the others would misunderstand them. Besides, their behavior was indeed impolite.
So he explained helplessly: "We almost choked to death while drinking tea in the afternoon, and we choked several times while eating dinner in the evening.
In the end, we would choke even when trying to drink porridge, and we haven’t had a single sip of tea or food to date.”
Several people looked like they were about to cry: "…" Talking too much will only bring tears.
An Xin concentrated a little and glanced at the foreheads of several people. Once the luck was absorbed, their luck would get worse and worse.
Choking to death while drinking water, choking to death while eating, or falling to death while walking is normal for unlucky people like them.
An Xin didn't feel very sympathetic towards them because they were going to keep a date with Xiao Wenrou today.
It was just because a few days ago a group of envoys went to the palace gate, wanting to ask for an audience with Si Han, the new emperor of Bei Ming, to ask for a specific date for returning home.
They were stopped by the guards at the palace gate. Just when they were helpless and anxious, Xiao Wenrou appeared in front of the envoys and said that when she saw Si Han, she would help ask about their return to the country.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
Today, Xiao Wenrou asked a few of them to go out. Xuanyuan He, Bai Yuheng and others thought that Xiao Wenrou had asked Si Han about this in order to tell them about the time of their return.
Unexpectedly, after returning from the appointment, they encountered so many bad luck one after another.
An Xin: "You guys came so late, are you trying to ask yourself why you suddenly became so unlucky?"
The four of them nodded vigorously. Hearing that they didn't say anything, An Xin guessed their purpose.
Several people's eyes lit up and they all felt that they had come to the right place.
“Yes, yes, yes, Lord An, but do you know what happened to us? How could we suddenly become so unlucky?”
An Xin didn't pretend to be cool, and told them directly, "Your good luck has been robbed."
"Ah!" Although they were usually very calm, they couldn't help but look surprised when they heard this.
They are all outstanding people in their own countries, with their own wisdom and judgment, and they can hear the seriousness in An Xin's tone.
After spending some time together, they couldn't say they had a complete understanding of An Xin, but they could see that she was not a person who spoke without thinking.
So after a moment, several people decisively chose to believe her.
Li Qianhui frowned and asked, "Who is it? Who robbed us of our luck?"
Bai Yuheng, Xuanyuan He, and Su Yanqiu also had anxious looks in their eyes, but they calmly suppressed their eagerness and looked at An Xin, patiently waiting for her answer.
Seeing that they chose to believe him for no reason, An Xin developed a better impression of them instead of thinking that he was being mysterious, and was willing to help them.
"Think about who you met and why you started to have bad luck. Then you don't need anyone to give you an answer. You can find the source of the problem yourself."
An Xin quietly explained their doubts.
Bai Yuheng, Xuanyuan He, Li Qianhui, and Su Yanqiu looked at each other for a while, and suddenly their eyes widened, "It's her."
Several people looked at each other with gloomy faces.
Now, without An Xin telling them, they also knew who had robbed them of their luck, making them so unlucky.
