C417 Murong Conspiracy (2/2)
Feng Qing heard this and found it interesting. Hence, he said, ”Alright, what would you like to bet on?”
”Let's bet …” Whoever loses will agree to one thing. ” Mu Ru Yue asked.
Feng Qing nodded.
Feng Qing took the initiative to put down the chess pieces. Naturally, he had heard of Mu Ru Yue's habit of being late. Mu Ru Yue also started to fall. Ever since their chess match, they hadn't played a single game. At this moment, he didn't know if there was any progress or not.
”Why would they place such a bet?” Feng Qing asked curiously as he landed.
A smile was still hidden in Mu Ru Yue's eyes. ”It's because I have a request, but I don't want to say it directly.”
Feng Qing raised his eyebrows slightly, then smiled: ”If that's the case, then you must be more serious.” With these words, Feng Qing's pawn also began to attack. Both of them were good chess players, so it naturally took more time.
Finally, the board was full again.
Mu Ru Yue wanted to land again, but was shocked to find that there was no son in her hand. It was the same for Feng Qing. When they counted, Mu Ru Yue and Feng Qing were the most ordinary pawns. It was just that … Feng Qing made the first move.
Mu Ru Yue looked at Feng Qing. With a glimmer in her eyes, she asked, ”Are you doing this on purpose?”
”How could that be?” Feng Qing's gaze was indifferent. He slowly picked up the chess piece back and said, ”You win. In this game, whoever gets the first move will lose. I made the first move, so I lost. I will not intentionally lose to anyone. ”
Mu Ru Yue believed what Feng Qing said.
If their chess skills were similar, then naturally, this possibility would be higher. If she had attacked first, perhaps she would have been the loser. Thinking about this, Mu Ru Yue smiled. ”If we're going to play chess with Your Highness in the future, then we should use heaven's will to decide who to fight first and who to attack later. After all, luck is also strength.”
”Next time?” Feng Qing raised his eyebrows.
”Of course.” When it came to chess, Mu Ru Yue's favorite opponent was naturally Feng Qing. Feng Qing's chess piece was just like Feng Qing's. It was clean and tidy, with a hint of ancientness to it. It was a very pleasing sight to behold.
Playing chess with him was like playing along with the ancient records and returning to the hearts of the masters in the past. He had benefited greatly, but it was also difficult for him to forget. Mu Ru Yue loved the ancient books, but she didn't want to walk the path of the ancient books.
She played chess and preferred to do as she pleased.
What Mu Ru Yue didn't know was that she admired Feng Qing's chess path. It was the same for Feng Qing.
Feng Qing quietly picked up the chess pieces, but his heart was in a rare good mood. He didn't have much love for chess. It wasn't because he wasn't interested in chess, but because no one could please him.
His chess path was an ancient and unpredictable one. It was very easy for him to win before he could clearly see the others' movements. This kind of method to win made him feel as though he didn't know what it meant.
Gradually, he grew tired of playing chess. The only person who could arouse his interest was probably Jiang Zilan.
He was used to people playing chess, but after winning, his heart was filled with desolation. Just like that day, the moment he saw Mu Ru Yue, it was after he defeated Jiang Zilan. At that time, he felt that she was very interesting, and after playing chess, he felt that it was even more interesting.
Her chess path was free to do as she pleased. It was as if she was before him.
Perhaps, ever since then, he had become infatuated with her. What he was infatuated with was her talent. Now that it had been so long, even Feng Qing himself did not know what he was thinking and did not want to think about it anymore. However, he couldn't calm down at the moment, so he felt a bit helpless.
”Your Highness, the inn is up ahead.” Right when the carriage went silent, the only sound that could be heard was Tao Er's voice. When Feng Qing heard this, he came back to his senses. He said indifferently to the people outside, ”Go and stop.”
After getting her orders, Tao Er headed towards the inn. Soon, the carriage stopped. Tao Er got off the carriage, lifted the curtain and said: ”Your Highness, we have arrived.”
