Chapter 39 What about playing?

As a writer recognized by David, when did Qian Liangye suffer such humiliation?

"When I was the No. 1 scholar in high school, I faced off ten pairs in succession in front of the palace. You? Not just one, but why not a hundred?" He twirled his beard, trying to regain his place with his words.

.

"It turns out that Mr. Qian is so majestic, so disrespectful!" Li Feibai said angrily.

"Hmph, stop talking nonsense and come out with the first couplet."

"Lord Qian, please listen carefully. My first couplet is very simple. There are only five words: Three talents in heaven and earth!"

As soon as the pair came out, all the civil servants in the room took a breath, while Qian Liangye's face changed drastically and his brows furrowed.

Some people have already begun to analyze: "This pair seems simple, but in fact it is truly absolute."

"Yes, heaven, earth, and man are collectively called the 'three talents', but the number 'three' has already been used in the first line. What number should be used in the second line?"

The words used in the first couplet cannot be used again in the second couplet. This is the rule for pairs.

But no matter what number you use in the second line, the following three characters cannot match up, so it is truly absolute.

In fact, in Li Feibai's previous life, this couplet had a solution, and the second couplet was: Four poems in ode to elegance.

Because "Ya" is divided into "Daya" and "Xiaoya", "Ode to Fengya" can be called four poems, which can barely be compared.

But when Li Feibai traveled to this world, there was no "Ode to Elegance" anywhere, so naturally his first couplet could not be compared.

"I lost!"

Sitting there slumped, Qian Liangye finally admitted defeat.

In the entire hall, everyone looked at this "wasted gift" with strange eyes.

A country boy, with his right match, could actually make the literary giant of the world, the Minister of Civil Affairs, admit defeat.

I'm afraid that in a few days, this will become a major topic in the streets and alleys of Jinglin, and people will talk about it after dinner.

The adult who had just said that if the "free gift" won, he would drink urine as tea, now had his face buried in his arms and did not dare to lift it up.

"Okay, wonderful, so wonderful." Nangong Ding clapped his hands, stood up, and pointed out.

Seeing his statement, the officials who were still watching also stood up and applauded.

"Shan'er, when did you hide such a capable person in your house and we didn't know about it?"

"Uncle Huang was joking. Fei Li doesn't understand etiquette and is reckless. I'm going to apologize to all of you for him." Nangongshan said with a smile. This is not an apology, this is just showing off.

It's a rare "wasted gift" to win back a victory for yourself, how can you not feel proud?

"Little brother, you are so good at pairing. I wonder if you are talented in chess?" Qian Liangye lost badly, so he planned to ask Nangong Ding to teach him a lesson.

"Play chess? Play checkers?" Li Feibai asked pretending not to know.

"What is checkers? Are there many kinds of checkers?"

Li Feibai didn't bother to explain to him. He naturally knew the world. The so-called chess game was Go.

But in Go, I am an amateur among amateurs, and my level may be as good as that of a ten-year-old child.

"What, does Mr. Qian still want to continue playing chess with me?" Li Feibai asked, still confident.

"I have no experience in chess, but King Zhao has a lot of knowledge about chess and is a top player. The prince learned from the masters of chess and has already excelled in the game. He is unrivaled in Weiguo." Qian Liangye spoke boldly.

Anyway, he is already tied to Nangong Ding, so he has to vent his anger for himself.

"Your Majesty, are you serious about this?" Li Feibai turned to ask Nangong Ding.

"It's just a false reputation. It doesn't matter if you don't mention it. It's just a show of love." Nangong Ding was still a little proud of this "false reputation".

"How about fun?" Li Feibai blurted out without thinking, looking like a fool.

Nangong Ding was startled. After all, he was an ignorant villager who dared to play chess with him?

"That's fine, I haven't played for a long time, so I'll have some fun today." Nangong Ding agreed generously.

Qian Liangye was secretly happy, you are dead, you dare to make me lose face. If you lose in the chess game later, I will see how I will humiliate you.

At this time, people who had drunk too much tea had already started to go to the latrine.

Everyone from the Assassination Camp and Jing'an Camp followed, and a flow of people began to appear in the hall.

Li Feibai still paid attention to Liu Renfang and found that he still hadn't taken a step out of the hall.

A good waist, good kidneys, and a good man. This Liu Renfang is definitely a good man!

After drinking so much tea, you still don’t feel the need to urinate?

Helpless, Li Feibai could only retract his gaze and focus on playing chess first.

Anyway, everything is left to Fang Qing in the latrine.

The servant brought the chessboard, which was crystal clear. Upon closer inspection, it was made of the finest Lantian jade, and the chess pieces were carved from ivory.

"Such an exquisite chess piece, it seems that the prince has really studied the art of chess." Li Feibai said.

Nangong Ding didn't want to say too much to him, so he said directly: "Brother Bai, please."

In the hall, a table was cleared and a chessboard was placed on it. The two sat across from each other. Upon seeing this, the officials gathered around them with teacups and snacks in their hands.

They couldn't wait to see Nangong Ding's chess skills.

As soon as he sat down, Li Feibai pushed Heizi in front of Nangong Ding and said, "My lord, you have a distinguished status and should go first."

Black plays first, that's the rule.

Unable to help being stunned, Nangong Ding laughed and said: "Sure enough, a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. You little brother, you are very interesting!"

At this time, although the murderous intention towards Li Feibai was still in his heart, there was a little more appreciation in his eyes.

"You dare to let the prince go first, you are simply crazy." Qian Liangye couldn't believe it either.

"Sir Qian, you are a true gentleman watching chess without speaking. From now on, please keep your mouth shut." Nangongshan said on behalf of Li Feibai.

Although Qian Liangye chose to side with Nangong Ding, he still didn't dare to turn against Nangong Shan and could only smile.

"Then I'm welcome, be careful little brother, the chess field is like a battlefield, the situation is unpredictable, and it changes rapidly, so be careful."

"Keng"

There was a crisp sound, and Nangong Ding dropped a black stone on the chessboard.

Everyone held their breath and stared intently, for fear of missing this wonderful game.

Without thinking, Li Feibai picked up a white piece and put it on it.

Then, Nangong Dingbu got entangled with Li Feibai and made a hit in the upper left corner.

"Your Majesty, are we going to find another battlefield?" Li Feibai said with a smile.

There was no answer, Nangong Ding just smiled mysteriously, confident.

Seeing his appearance, Li Feibai felt even more unsure. He couldn't understand why Nangong Ding was doing that.

He had no choice but to go up and block it.

"Keng"

Next to the black piece, Li Feibai landed another white piece.

"Humph, is this your level? I only know that if you chase after the prince and be led by the nose, my ten-year-old kid can beat you."
