The maid beside her opened her eyes wide, feeling that the Marquis and the third lady were talking very well. They both only lost one piece each, talking about offense and defense. The third lady even said that the defense was impregnable, but she couldn't tell it no matter how hard she looked. How impregnable.
Gu Qinghan casually put down another white stone, and Qining followed closely beside him, still smiling and saying: "Indestructible? Sanniang, have you heard that there are invincible cities in the world?" He held his chin in one hand, But he stared at the chessboard: "There is no invincible city in this world. It depends on the determination of the attackers. As long as you are determined and overcome all difficulties, even an iron wall will eventually have flaws."
"Impossible." Gu Qinghan said angrily: "No matter how determined the attackers are, as long as the defenders are determined to die, the city will survive and people will die, but the city will be destroyed and people will die." Biting his red lips, he glanced at Qining One glance: "Anyway, I... I will definitely defend the city and never let you get close."
Qi Ning was calm and composed, and said leisurely: "Sanniang, you have already shown a flaw. The cave door is wide open. I can't go in even if I don't want to." After saying that, he pressed down a sunspot.
Gu Qinghan glanced at the chessboard, and then realized that while he was talking to Qi Ning, Qi Ning had already made four diagonal moves, but the chess pieces he had dropped were in a mess because of his uneasiness. At this time, no matter which end Qi Ning put down the chess pieces, , all won easily. Seeing that Qining Heizi was about to put down, he felt anxious and covered the chessboard with both hands, saying anxiously: "No, no, this... this doesn't count...!"
Qi Ning blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "Why doesn't it count? I didn't cheat, I worked hard every step of the way. If you want to lose, why don't you cheat?"
Gu Qinghan's cheeks were hot, he pulled twice, disrupted the chess pieces, and then said: "I was busy talking to you, so... it doesn't matter anyway, let's play another game."
"Sanniang, you said your defense was impregnable, but as soon as I said a few words, you were in chaos." Qining stared at the pretty face with rosy white: "Fortunately, this is just a chess game, what if it was something else?" , aren’t you just going to catch me without any help?”
Gu Qinghan glared at Qining fiercely and said, "I'm going to catch you anytime soon, I...!" He glanced sideways at the maid next to him, calmed down slightly, and then said, "I just accidentally took advantage of you. , but I reacted in time and was not defeated by you. Once I have learned a lesson, I will know your thoughts, be more careful and guarded, and there will be no problems. "
"Sanniang is so confident?"
"If you don't believe me, you can give it a try." Gu Qinghan snorted coldly. He had already cleared the chessboard, put down another white stone, and looked up at Qining provocatively.
Qining chuckled, moved his arms, and said: "Sanniang, let's make it clear. You made a mistake once and I didn't attack to the end. But I can only regret this time. If there is a second chance, I will never I will give up, but then don’t go back on your word like you are doing now.”
Gu Qinghan bit her plump red lips with her white teeth, raised her hand to brush a lock of hair from her cheek, stared at the chessboard with all her concentration, and concentrated on playing chess.
Gu Qinghan was good at playing chess and was very familiar with backgammon. Seriously, he was really difficult to deal with. The two of them went back and forth without giving each other a chance. Both Qining and Gu Qinghan were both smart and agile. Seniors, once they are fully focused, it is really difficult for each other to find each other's flaws.
After a while, the chessboard was densely covered with chess pieces, black and white, intertwined like a net.
"Sanniang's chess skills are indeed amazing." Qining couldn't help but admire her.
Only then did Gu Qinghan show a hint of pride, with a smile on his lips: "How about it? I just said that my defense is iron-clad and you have no chance."
"That's not necessarily true." Qining held his chin and stared at the chessboard and said: "Sanniang, look at the two black and white pieces intertwined with each other. You have me, and I have you. Although the winner has not been determined yet. , but they are already connected and cannot be separated." He glanced at Gu Qinghan's charming face and said: "As long as they are connected together, opportunities will appear sooner or later, it just depends on your patience."
Gu Qinghan frowned, a look of annoyance on her pretty face, and suddenly stood up, saying angrily: "No more."
The maid was a little strange, thinking to herself that the third lady was in a really weird mood today. She didn't have a good talk with the young marquis, so why did she suddenly become angry? Moreover, the Third Madam is usually a person who keeps her emotions and anger secretive. She rarely loses her temper, and she has never lost her temper with the young Marquis. Something seems wrong about the situation today.
Qi Ning was not impatient and said with a smile: "Did Sanniang admit defeat?"
"When did I lose?" Gu Qinghan said angrily: "If I don't lose, I won't win. At most, it's a tie. It won't let you take advantage anyway."
"If Sanniang leaves now, the chess game will be handed over to me." Qining held a sunspot and said leisurely: "I control the whole chess game. I can play how I want. I will win. undoubtedly."
"You...!" Gu Qinghan said angrily: "You can do whatever you want, anyway... I don't care...!" He stamped his feet, twisted his waist and left angrily. Seeing this, the maid hurriedly followed.
Qi Ning looked at Gu Qinghan's swaying plump figure, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said to himself: "Your patience is not as good as mine after all." He glanced at the chessboard, pressed the black piece, and said with a smile: "I won! "
At the end of the day, Qining was a little tired. After dinner in the evening, he returned to his room and took out the sword diagram and read it again. He remembered the moves of these sword diagrams in his heart. Every time he read them, he remembered them one by one. point.
In a daze, he fell into sleep unconsciously.
I don't know how long it took, but I suddenly felt a little cold. When I opened my eyes, the oil lamp in the room was still on, but the window was opened at some point.
Qi Ning was startled, frowned, and immediately felt something was wrong.
Every time he entered the house, the first thing he did was to close the doors and windows. If he remembered correctly, the windows were closed and there was no way he could open them by himself. But at the moment, the windows were obviously open. The winter night was cold, and gusts of cold wind came from It was pouring into the house outside the window, so it was no wonder that I was woken up by the cold in the middle of the night.
Suddenly, Qining's body trembled, and he turned his head suddenly, only to see a person sitting on a chair not far away. He was shocked and couldn't help but take two steps back.
A white shadow was very conspicuous. Qi Ning was confused and couldn't see clearly just now. When he caught a glimpse, he felt that the white shadow was like a ghost, but Qin Ning knew that it was definitely not a ghost.
He secretly cursed in his heart, what kind of place has this Jinyihou Mansion become? Is it a vegetable market? How can a person sneak into his house quietly
If the other party had malicious intentions, he would die without even knowing how he died.
He was upset, but he still kept calm. After looking carefully, the man had raised his head and smiled at Qining. When he saw that face, Qining was even more horrified. He never expected that, The man in front of me turned out to be the man in white who left without saying goodbye last time.
He kindly asked the man in white to share the carriage and horse, and even invited the man in white to have a meal with him. However, halfway through, the guy disappeared without even saying hello, leaving behind a heart pendant necklace.
Qining thought he would never see this man again, but he didn't expect that he would suddenly appear in his room.
"Is... is it you?" Qining couldn't help but take two steps forward and looked at the hands of the man in white. Those crystal-clear jade hands actually held the sword diagram that he had seen before.
His face changed slightly. This sword picture was his secret. He never saw it in front of others. He remembered that after reading it last night, he kept it under the pillow at the head of his bed.
"Give it back to me!" Qi Ning was annoyed, thinking that this guy was so ignorant of the rules that he entered his room like a ghost and even stole his sword diagram without saying anything.
Qi Ning felt that his courage had indeed reached a new level. A strange shadow appeared in your room in the middle of the night. As long as it was a person, he must be out of his mind. Qi Ning felt that he did not scream out, and he could still remain calm. Already It's amazing.
The cold wind blew in from the window, and the light of the oil lamp on the table flickered, reflecting on the beautiful face of the man in white, as white as snow, making it even more gentle and moist as jade.
The man in white smiled lightly. When he smiled, he was so bright that he put the sword picture away and pushed it over.
Qi Ning approached cautiously, stretched out his hand to grab the sword diagram, and then asked: "You... how did you get in?" As soon as the words came out, he felt that he was just asking nonsense. The window over there was open, and of course the man in white It's through the window.
Sure enough, the man in white pursed his lips and smiled, then raised his hand and pointed at the window.
Qining saw that the other party had a gentle expression and did not seem to have any malicious intent. Moreover, if the other party really wanted to attack him, he would not be able to wake up at all.
He hesitated and then asked: "How do you know I live here? You... you came to my room in the middle of the night. What do you want to do?" Under the light, he saw the man in white with supple skin and charming eyes. He couldn't help but said: "In the middle of the night, a man and a woman are alone in the same room. You... aren't you afraid?"
Hearing this, the man in white frowned and his eyes showed a sharp look, but he soon calmed down and stood up slowly.
This person was able to run into his room quietly without even noticing it. Qining knew that this person must have extremely high martial arts skills. He might have made a mistake last time.
Seeing him stand up suddenly, he subconsciously took two steps back. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the figure of the man in white suddenly flashing. Qining felt his eyes blurred. Before he could figure out what was going on, he found the man in white. The person is already very close to him, and the exquisite facial features and fair face are right in front of him.
"What are you doing...!" Before he could finish speaking, he felt the back of his head tightening, and his vision suddenly went black. He cursed in his heart, and then he felt nothing.
