Bai Ruyue held onto the Prince's hand and stood up very embarrassedly.
She bowed her head and blushed: "Sorry."
The Duke's reaction to this was to look at the hand Bai Ruyue had placed in her own. She released it, turned around, and looked at Liu Li: "You're here?"
"Yes, the third prince has already received the news and has come knocking with someone!" Liu Li hurriedly withdrew her surprise and lowered her head to answer respectfully.
"Tell them to wait in the parlour!" Liu Li replied and retreated. A certain duke told Bai Ruyue: "Let's go and play chess!"
Hearing that, Bai Ruyue looked at Liu Li who had left, and nodded: "Yes."
"Don't worry, I just said that if we want to leave a deep impression on them, we have to slap them in the face!" The prince stepped inside.
Bai Ruyue's mouth curved upwards, thinking that the Third Prince was really unlucky — If a dog bit someone he shouldn't, he would have to come over and apologize, and even drink some cold tea on the air. This was miserable!
Bai Ruyue followed the Marquis into his room and found out that it was a huge study room. The entire wall inside was filled with bookshelves, filled to the brim with books.
There were actually three desks in the room! In different directions of the house:
One of them was covered with ink and paper. There was a large painting that seemed to be a map spread out on the table; one of it contained a number of documents and files; the other a couple of notebooks and a set of brushes of various sizes.
In the bookshelf by the window that held the courtyard, there was an arhat couch. Currently, the chess pieces and chess pieces were quietly placed there.
"Bring it on!" The prince leisurely sat on the arhat, "Let's go meet our guests after the next game!"
Bai Ruyue didn't hold back and sat down opposite of him obediently. She carefully watched this person, afraid that he would lose to him by six more times.
Seeing Bai Ruyue's cautious gaze, Demon Suppressing King tapped the chess board with Yun Zi's hand: "This time, I do not need you to win against the six disciples. I want you to lay out your plan, just to guard against anything!"
"Defense?"
"Yes!" I don't care if you're a glutton or a robber, as long as you make it so that I don't have any chance of defeating you within a hundred Yunzi, it's fine! " Saying that, someone rapped his fingers on the board again:
"I said win. That is, I will attack your last line of defense, and as long as I tear down your body, you can no longer use that piece of land! "Alright, you guard against it. You go first!"
When Bai Ruyue heard this ridiculous request, she didn't know whether to rejoice or cry.
The whole chessboard was filled with clouds, only three hundred and sixty pieces. Now, the King only wanted her to hold on to one third, which was equivalent to a very low requirement.
However, the problem was that chess had always been about determining the victor by determining who was the most dead and injured. How did it end up in the prince's hands and became a firm defensive line?
Bai Ruyue was not afraid of weird methods or weird requests. What she was afraid of was the prince's chess skills!
When he had changed his style to a completely different style from that of a crappy chess piece, it had turned into a wondrous move. It had truly shocked her!
Thus, right now, she didn't feel like this was because the prince had very low requirements for her and was playing around with her. Instead, it was very likely that his chess skills were so outstanding that it would be difficult for him to even defend against her one-third of the time!
Thus, with this kind of understanding in her heart, Bai Ruyue's load on her mind when she played chess was not light at all. She had to spend half a cup of tea's worth of time thinking before she finally let go of the first Yun Zi.
Time passed minute by minute!
Lady Baiyan and the others who were waiting in the hallway were feeling anxious.
"Do you think that something will happen to Ruyue?" Lady Baiyan looked worriedly at the three people beside him. "Why hasn't she come out even after going in for so long?"
"Madame Bai, don't be anxious!" "His Royal Highness is a person who takes care of everything everyday. If he can deal with small matters like ours, he might have to wait in line!" Chang Wu had seen much of the world and knew that the more people talked, the longer they would stay idle!
"Is that so? I am just afraid that there might be something wrong with that kid, Ru Yue! " As a mother, Lady Baiyan was so nervous that her hands and feet were numb.
At this moment, Han Yu said softly, "Don't be too worried, didn't you hear the Third Prince and the rest of your disciples' visit? The Third Prince is a relative of the royal family, yet he hasn't come out for almost an hour. I'm afraid that Ruyue is still too early to come out! "
After Lady Baiyan heard this, she could only suppress the worry in her heart and helplessly wait. But the Third Prince who had just come to his door, had already grinded away his fifth cup of tea in the parlour!
He looked at the empty parlour with an expression of embarrassment — since he had come in, except for the fact that every time he drank tea someone would come to add tea, but no one came to greet him, and even if he had asked the tea man, he could still pretend to be deaf and just walk away, which made his liver ache with anger.
"Bastard thing!" With a belly full of anger, he could not help but kick the manager who was kneeling on the ground.
"You heartless thing. It's one thing for you to use my banner to do whatever you want, but when you hear the words Demon Suppressing King, you don't even know how to hide it!" You made me lose face here! "I, I will definitely skin you alive when I go back!"
At this moment, the shopkeeper's eyes were filled with despair. He didn't even dare to reply and could only obediently lower his head and kneel.
"No!" I can't do it! "
Her purely defensive posture was simply causing Bai Ruyue to have extreme difficulty!
Although she was skilled in chess, most of the time she attacked ferociously, being able to control her opponent and then grasp the initiative on the board.
But in this match, no matter how fierce her attacks were, the prince would not hesitate to sacrifice himself for his savagery!
Although it seemed like the Prince had been devoured by Yun Zi, the defensive line she had set up had been uprooted time and time again, and the result was that there was no place for him to fight!
"When you go back, think about this chess piece carefully. If you can protect a hundred men within a month, I can fulfill one of your requests. As long as you don't commit murder or arson, I will do it!"
After the prince had finished speaking, he threw the cloud seed in his hand away, stood up and looked at the sky outside, "Let's go, a certain prince must be getting impatient from waiting!"
"Oh." Bai Ruyue glanced at the chess board, and quietly followed the prince.
"Bai Ruyue, do you want to go about the face-smacking matter with me, or should I?"
The sudden question from the Duke made Bai Ruyue, who was thinking about the game while walking, almost fall to the ground, "Me?"
"Hmm, since you're willing to come, fine, then come!" The Duke's answer almost made Bai Ruyue cry. "My Royal Highness, I was just asking that question, and I was just flabbergasted …"
"With This King, you are automatically taming me!" Then, he reached out and lightly patted Bai Ruyue's shoulder, "Don't worry, I will sit by the side. If you don't hit me hard in the face, I promise I will punish you!"
After Bai Ruyue heard this, she wanted to kneel down in front of this duke!
"Prince, are you punishing me?" Bai Ruyue looked at the Prince pitifully, hoping that he would let her go.
Unfortunately, the prince didn't buy it and said, "Didn't you say you want to use your power to intimidate others? Now I'm giving you a chance! Do well and do not disappoint This King! "
