His heart was broken into pieces by these words.

I have studied chess for many years, but only these two words are needed?!

Xue Li gritted his teeth. He stabilized his emotions, pondered for a long time, and stretched out the white piece in his hand towards the chessboard.

This chess move contained Xue Li's way and infinite murderous intent, so that when the wind and clouds met on the horizon, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed across the originally calm night sky.

Everyone in the palace was shocked, and their faces all turned a little pale.

After they fell silent, they heard a shower starting to fall outside the window.

Empress Shen looked at the white piece on the chessboard and praised, "Good move."

Everyone outside the palace also sighed with emotion, "He is indeed Prime Minister Xue!"

Li Qingyao was also a little worried, "This step is dangerous and overbearing. Xue Li is going to fight!"

Yanyan hid in the pavilion to avoid the rain and sat lazily on the stone pier, "Okay, Sister Yao, let's just wait and collect the money."

After he finished speaking, he suddenly saw a beautiful white deer running past the back yard, its eyes brightening.

He realized that the deer was waiting for him. It seemed that it had been waiting for him here for a long time.

As if being attracted by the deer, Yanyan ran after the deer while Li Qingyao wasn't paying attention.

In the hall, Ji Liuyu also began to think.

Ji Siruo, who was not far away, sneered, "She has no way out, why is she still pretending to be here?"

Queen Shen, "Do you think she has no way out?"

Ji Siruo, "All escape routes have been cut off by Xue Xiang. Ji Liuyu has fallen into a deadlock. What other options does she have? If I were her, I would never go to this chess table and show up in vain."

Speaking of this, she deliberately raised her voice and said, "If you send people like this out to prop up the facade, the Qingyun Sect is really in decline now."

When Fan Luochen heard this, he glanced at her calmly. Ji Siruo was shocked by the former's grace and was stunned for a long time.

Empress Shen's eyes lingered on Ji Siruo for a while, and she said meaningfully, "But sometimes, the most terrifying people are those who have no way out."

Ji Siruo was brought back to his senses by these words, but he was a little puzzled.

At this time, Ji Liuyu also fell in love.

Her expression was very indifferent, so indifferent that she looked almost lazy, but her posture was perfect, as elegant as an ancient painting with flowing clouds and flowing water.

When Heizi hit the ground, a thunder suddenly exploded out of thin air outside the hall, startling everyone.

That bolt of lightning illuminated half of the palace and the chessboard.

But after the lightning, a three-foot-deep chill suddenly dispersed in the air. Feeling the biting coldness, like the ice of the twelfth lunar month, everyone couldn't help but shiver.

They looked at the chessboard carefully and found that Ji Liuyu's black piece was like a sharp sword, breaking through the barrier and piercing Jiuxiao.

The powerful and surging sword intent caused the sound of rain outside the window to stop, and soon there was heavy snowfall.

The outside turned into a crystal world of ice and snow.

Xue Li's chess pieces were frozen, and then began to crack one by one, eventually turning into powder.

Looking at the powder blown up by the wind, Xue Li seemed to see his own chess game that had been crushed to ashes. His hands first started to tremble, and then, his whole body began to twitch.

A huge depressive atmosphere filled the palace.

When everyone at the banquet saw this scene, their faces were blank.

Fan Luochen was also surprised. He looked at Ji Liuyu's indifferent profile and remembered what Yan Yan said.

I originally thought it was just childish talk, but now that I think about it, it is indeed what happened.

Ji Liuyu's chess style is very domineering. It may not be the most pleasing to the eye, and it is even unorganized at first, but every move she makes has the meaning of "I will kill a hundred flowers after they bloom".

In order to hear her words clearly and see her moves clearly, the whole world must be silent.

Therefore, if he was the one fighting her, he would probably lose.

After a long time, Xue Li took a deep breath and said, "I lost."

In fact, he didn't recover for a long time, and even his eyes were confused.

Not only him, but everyone in the entire palace who watched the chess game had a blank mind.

How could he lose? How could he lose?

Ji Siruo was also stunned. She looked at the heavy snow falling outside the window, and her nails almost dug into her flesh.

Outside the palace, Li Qingyao was shocked after watching the battle and began to collect the money, "I'm sorry, these are all ours!"

The remaining people, like those who are mourning for their heirs, can only weep silently.

"Why did you lose? Didn't you say that Xue Xiangwen won?!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuah, small gambling makes you happy, big gambling hurts your body, crazy gambling makes you sacrifice to heaven, this is me!"

Li Qingyao looked apologetic, but kept her hands on her, "Our junior sister is so awesome, I'm sorry, I'll do it next time!"

The man in purple who was passing by saw the betting board and stopped, "Junior sister? Do you know the girl who is playing chess this time?"

Li Qingyao, "She is the junior sister of our Qingyun Sect. Are you okay?"

When the man in purple heard this, his expression was sincere, "After watching the chess game, I have a deep admiration for such a smart and intelligent woman, and I really want to make friends with her."

Li Qingyao felt the burning gazes around her and said sincerely, "Well... you may have to queue up."

As soon as these words came out, the two waiters next to the man in purple changed their faces, "Bold, this is our Crown Prince!"

When the people around him heard this, they stood at attention and saluted, bowed their heads, and their postures were as humble as dust!

Li Qingyao looked at the man with dark hair and a jade crown in front of him, who was as handsome as a god, and found that he indeed had the aura of a nobleman.

She was a little embarrassed, "Well, you can probably join the queue, right Yanyan?"

Li Qingyao called twice and found that Yanyan had disappeared into the pavilion at some point, and her expression suddenly changed.

Oops, I was so excited about collecting money that I didn’t realize the child was missing!

In the hall, Xue Li stared at Ji Liuyu's face, feeling very sad.

"As long as you don't practice swordsmanship, I can accept this result."

Xue Li was silent for a while and then said, "Why did you win? You obviously have no respect for it at all."

Ji Liuyu raised her eyebrows slightly, "Awe? You mean you should have awe when playing chess?"

Xue Li, "For you, it's just a game of chess. For me, chess is my way."

Ji Liuyu, "On the great road of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, your path is too small."

"They can only do arts."

Xue Li's pupils were shaking, and a huge sense of shame surged out of his heart, "It's just because you are such a person that I am so unwilling. It's not that I can't afford to lose."

He can lose, but losing to a person who treats chess as a child's play really makes him sad.

Ji Liuyu mused, "For a long time, my only entertainment was playing chess with myself. For me, playing chess, whether the black piece captures the white piece, or the white piece captures the black piece, the ultimate goal is to win."

"Because I can only win, I will win no matter who comes, so it's boring."

When she said this, Ji Liuyu did not exaggerate at all, she just told the truth.

The more Xue Li listened, the more silent he became. He stared at her seriously for a long time, "I will come to you again."

Ji Liuyu declined politely, "I advise you not to."

Unlike Empress Shen's shock, Concubine Shu, who had been sitting for a long time, could not understand chess. She yawned lazily and whispered to the maid beside her, "Did someone trick you?"

Maid, "Already trapped in Wutong Garden."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Shu curled her lips and was about to get up when she heard an official from the Ministry of Rites shout, "The Southern Xinjiang envoy has arrived!"

Hearing this voice, Concubine Shu's face lit up with joy. Ji Liuyu followed the sound and saw a tall and handsome figure.
