Just as expected, Zhao Gou's top ten moves were extremely smooth, completely first-rate, but if one wanted to establish victory in the layout stage, it was almost impossible.

Xie E was also very efficient. When the fight with the small eyes began, he walked around in a very normal manner, trying his best to smooth the transition from the situation to the middle stage.

The game was going so fast that even the hands of a big country like Liu Zhongfu found it difficult to keep up with the thoughts of the two young people.

Very quickly, Zhao Gou took advantage of the high point of "Sky Origin".

In an attempt to build a huge external force, Xie E smiled as he jumped out everywhere. Even if it meant losing a bit of ground, he didn't mind.

Zhao Gou had no choice but to slow down his playing, facing such a chaotic situation, he had no choice but to treat it with caution.

The two sides were in a deadlock. After an hour of playing a few chess, the sky gradually darkened.

Lighting up the lamps, Mi Youren's service was absolutely thorough enough as six oil lamps were lit up.

Xie E was secretly surprised, from last month to now, Zhao Gou's chess skills had improved at an incredible rate, which showed that this person's talent and diligence were both extraordinary.

Initially, Xie E thought that the opening of Zhao Gou's plan was mostly thanks to the guidance of Old Liu, but looking at the process, it was indeed independently and meticulously prepared by Zhao Gou, and many of the methods were ingenious, causing Xie E to be extremely impressed.

Similarly, Liu Zhongfu had already treated Xie E as a real opponent, because Xie E's reaction speed and calculation ability seemed to even surpass Liu Zhongfu himself. There were many strange, fixed type tendons appearing one after another, and Zhao Gou seemed to still not be his match.

As expected, Xie E grabbed onto one of Zhao Gou's weak spot and started to attack fiercely. If Zhao Gou had chosen to abandon his son or seek a way out, maybe the game would still end up in a two pronged situation. It was a pity that Zhao Gou did not give in and forced him to live on the spot, but in the end, he was heavily injured by Xie E and was forced to flee.

Xie E was not in a hurry to slay a dragon, but used this opportunity to gain some momentum and momentum. After Zhao Gou had worked hard with his White Chess, the outcome of the battle was already decided.

Zhao Gou laughed out loud. He then stood up and bowed respectfully to Xie E, "Sir is truly a talent, I'm wearing my student uniform."

Xie E hurriedly supported her up. "Ninth Prince, there's no need to be so courteous."

This was the first time Zhao Gou admitted defeat in everyone's memories, and it was also the first time he was straightforward.

"I wonder if Bachelor Xie has the time to come to my place and take a seat?"

At this time, Zhao Gou looked at Xie E with an abnormally clear expression, making it impossible for him to reject his.

Xie E replied, "If you're so respectful, then it's better to follow my orders."

After the liveliness dispersed, Mi Youren was still not done. He pulled Liu Zhongfu and started playing chess again, Old Liu was too embarrassed to refute the honor of the young master in front of the younger generation, so he could only cope with it.

Xie E and Zhao Gou bade farewell to the two of them.

Outside of the Primal Academy, Zhao Gou lived with his mother, the Madame Wei, but he did not have his own palace.

Moreover, the mother and son duo only lived in a small courtyard not too far away from the Grand Academy. If one was unaware, they would think that it was the residence of an ordinary eunuch or Palace Maid.

That's right, Madame Wei had a good son, but she didn't gain any status or power because of his son. Although Zhao Gou was highly regarded by Zhao Ji, and was well-loved by his big brother, Zhao Gou, Zhao Gou still insisted on living with his mother.

Zhao Gou was the same age as Xie E, so when Zhao Gou asked him about his birthdate, how did Xie E know when the dead ghost Xie Xi had crawled out of his mother's stomach, he casually said a few days, but it was's birthday in his previous life, October 10th.

Zhao Gou was stupefied hearing this, he was actually born on the same day of the same year, and it looked like it was carved out of the same mold.

Both of them had their own thoughts.

The two of them arrived at Zhao Gou's residence. Normally, Xie E would have long heard that Zhao Gou was frugal and hardworking, but to only live in such a place, he was truly unworthy of the prince's identity.

But seeing that Zhao Gou's expression was calm, and unintentionally revealed his fondness for this place, Xie E secretly nodded his head.

This courtyard was so small that it couldn't be any smaller in the palace, but it was still too spacious for a dozen or so people.

There were about a dozen or so rooms, which were occupied by Zhao Gou and Madame Wei, and two ordinary Palace Maid s. It was Zhao Gou and the other princes who wanted to come here to take care of their mother.

< p > "You're back?"

Madame Wei heard someone coming in from outside and hurriedly opened the door, only to see that other than Zhao Gou, there was another person. He quickly lowered his head, and without even daring to look at the two, he retreated back into the room with a blush on his face.

From the looks of it, Madame Wei was only in her early thirties. However, she had a petite and exquisite appearance. Although her looks were not as well maintained as the other concubines of the Emperor, she did not seem to age rapidly because of the cold palace.

Xie E did not see Madame Wei's face clearly, but from the vague first glance, as well as the beautiful backs of the people leaving in spirals, knew that Madame Wei was definitely not as ordinary as people imagined.

Xie E wanted to pay his respects to Madame Wei, but Madame Wei quickly returned to his room, causing him to feel very awkward.

Zhao Gou's expression was also somewhat unnatural as he said apologetically, "Mother is like this, not used to seeing outsiders."

< p > "Oh,"

Xie E obediently changed the topic, "When this humble subject saw the article" On Force "written by His Highness, his consciousness was extremely clear, and he wanted to hear Your Highness' views on politics."

Using Xie E's habits from his previous life, Zhao Gou's essay was like an essay; when Xie E asked him now, it was more or less the form of a reply.

The ancients didn't have that name, but they did have this habit.

Because Mi Youren thought that Zhao Gou's knowledge had reached a certain level, it was time for him to leave the Grass Hall, so he let Zhao Gou write a few essays on the power of nations. He never thought that Zhao Gou's writing would be so outstanding, Mi Youren even intentionally let Xie E see Zhao Gou's essays, there was a deeper meaning behind it.

Zhao Gou smiled and pulled Xie E to his room. This room was exactly the same as the one Xie E lived in, and even the size and furnishings of the room were similar.

If not for the fact that he was facing Zhao Gou, Xie E would have thought that he had returned to his own room.

Use "Four Wall of the Household"

Zhao Gou who had come to describe the status of a prince in the palace wasn't excessive at all. On the wall, however, were a few paintings, most of them were Zhao Gou's own works.

Zhao Gou had a small Palace Maid, who was accompanying him, make a pot of tea and said slowly: "If you are in a vulnerable position, then try to be strong; if you are in a strong position, then you will be weak. "The strong becomes the weak, the weak becomes the strong. How can there be a fixed outcome?"

Xie E laughed. His smile was a little evil, but mostly happy.

Although Zhao Gou's words appeared to be an explanation of his own essay, but the meaning behind these words, showed that he, who was in a disadvantaged position, was trying his best to improve, and the reason why Zhao Gou was so easily revealing such a message to Xie E was self-evident!
