Chapter 205 Planning and Wisdom
The gazebo, the beautiful scenery, and the lotus fragrance in the lake.

Cang Yunxi's slender and pure figure slowly disappeared before her eyes, submerged behind a large expanse of willows.

"Since you are full of talents and have no place to display them, how about I give you a chance?" Holding black and white chess pieces in his hands, Cang Hao's expression was not as gentle as when he spoke to Yun Xi just now, but a little more cold.

Cang Yunmu was stunned for a moment, and after hearing the meaning of the words, his expression changed slightly.

"Qinqi calligraphy and painting, poetry, wine, scented tea..." Cang Hao's eyelids drooped slightly, his picturesque eyebrows glowed with a flawless luster like white jade, his tone was indifferent, and he couldn't hear any special emotions. At the corner of the chessboard, Cang Hao slowly raised his eyes, the bottom of his eyes was a deep and unpredictable black color, clear and cold, the coolness penetrated into the muscles and bones, "I use local materials, I will choose one to test you, how about it?"

choose the same?Cang Yunmu couldn't help turning his gaze to the stone table in the gazebo.

"I'm not interested in those literary things. Come and see the chess game I set up. If you can break it, I will admit that you are indeed full of talent. You can be named king or general, and you can choose all the civil and military titles."

Cang Yunmu's face turned pale when he heard the elegant and indifferent voice.

A terrifying force suddenly surged into his heart, making him a little flustered. The only thing he is not proficient in is piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Being in the palace, if he wants to learn how to play a good piano without hiding it from everyone, it is undoubtedly delusional.As for chess, if it was an ordinary time, he would definitely not be stage frightened, but at this time, he always had a bad premonition in his heart...

Bite the bullet and walk into the pavilion, looking at the chess game on the table, Cang Yunmu thought he would see a dead game, but after looking for a while, he found that it was not. There were only black and white chess pieces criss-crossing on the chessboard, and there were few white pieces. There are many people in the middle, and there are many sunspots, but they are scattered everywhere, but the whites are not easy to come out, and the sunspots are not easy to attack, as if they are trapped by invisible shackles...

Cang Hao stood up, glanced at him casually, then turned around with his hands behind his back, moved slowly and stood by the gazebo, overlooking the beautiful scenery of lotus flowers all over the lake. Do you make wine?"

"Uh..." Unexpectedly, the master asked this question, Yixiu scratched his temple hair, and said in a rather embarrassed way: "This subordinate can only taste wine."

"Have you ever tasted lotus brewing?"

"Fragrant fragrance enters the throat, clear and sweet, mild temperament, both men and women can drink it." Yixiu nodded and replied, when he said this, his voice suddenly lowered, and a suspicious blush appeared on his face, "Well, um, master knows , there are all kinds of wine in the flower house..."

"What does this king know?" Cang Hao snorted softly, "Do you think this king is like you, spending all day in brothels?"

Cang Yunmu was thinking about how to break the chess game, listening to the conversation between the two of them, he couldn't help but feel mixed in his heart.In this short period of less than half an hour, he has already discovered that the emperor calls himself "Zhen" when talking to him, which is normal and nothing at all, but when talking to Yixiu and Ziyu, he calls himself "the king" , what does this represent?He didn't want to think about it, but in the eyes of the emperor, no matter whether they were related by blood or not, these princes of the Cang family might not be as close as those around him after all.

Rubbing the unused black and white pieces in the chess box in his hand, the tentacles are warm and moist, the chessboard is also flawless, the color is transparent, it seems to be made of the best suet jade.

Cang Yunmu focused all his attention on the chess game. This is not a dead game, but it looks like the remnants of the defeated army left after the two armies fought. What's so special about it is that whether it's trying to get Bai Zi out of trouble, or injecting vitality into Black Zi to destroy Bai Zi in one fell swoop, it's extremely difficult.

After watching it for a long time, I suddenly found that the chess game seemed to be moving, like a magical maze, strange and unpredictable, with black and white colors flickering in front of my eyes, making people dazzled.Cang Yunmu kept his composure, feeling a little unbelievable, and couldn't help but look up at the slender figure in white clothes standing by the vermilion railing with his hands behind his back. It can lock people's sight... Cang Yunmu was slightly startled in his heart, and slowly came back to his senses, lowered his head and looked at the chessboard quietly for a while, suddenly felt dizzy in his head, and even had a hallucination. What is on the chessboard is not black and white chess pieces at all, but a network of heaven and earth laid by the battle between the two armies, a mysterious formation.

He shook his head lightly, trying to get rid of the uncomfortable feeling of dizziness, but found it was futile.

As soon as the line of sight is locked on the chessboard, the dizziness will become more and more intense. Black and white colors like ghosts and monsters are constantly flying in front of the eyes. Such a weird illusion is no longer something that can be resisted by concentration.
Black and white intersect to hide the mystery, and you are lost in the game... A game of chess, with dozens of black and white pieces, seems to include chess and soldiers, and even formations. Cang Yunmu has to admit that today he met Cang Yue Perhaps even the only emperor in the history of the Nine Kingdoms.

Those who are good at chess plan wisely.

He has always believed that this sentence is the truth, so he has been painstakingly studying chess, only hoping that one day he will become a blockbuster.He always thought that he was able to pretend to endure under the eyes of the Queen and Murong Ting for 20 years, which was deep and wise enough, and this endurance was also enough to make him proud.

However, a mere game of remnant chess arranged at random taught him 20 years of forbearance, and his 20 years of pride were instantly destroyed and wiped out.

The young emperor has unfathomable martial arts, is proficient in strange and unpredictable formations, has unparalleled resourcefulness, and also has a majesty that cannot be challenged in his bones, and a domineering that cannot be tested.

Today's move, he obviously made a mistake, a big mistake.

Averting his gaze, Cang Yunmu took a few deep breaths, slowly calming down the chaos in his mind and the trembling in his heart.

"Yun Mu is guilty." He knelt down again, but his mood was different. This time, it was a truly humble gesture, a kind of inferiority complex as small as an ant, which filled the internal organs and seemed to take him away. All the self-esteem, as well as the helplessness that has been endured over the years.

Cang Hao quietly put his hands behind his back, didn't turn his head, and didn't respond, Yixiu turned his head and glanced at the sixth prince of the Cang family, his brows were calm, and there was a trace of undetectable sympathy in his eyes, but he didn't say anything, just silently held his hands Stand aside.

The fact that Cang Yunmu can appear here today proves that he is undoubtedly outstanding compared to other mediocre princes, but he has been in the palace for a long time and has been suppressed for too long. He couldn't help feeling a sense of superiority in his heart, and he was unwilling to continue to be ordinary, so that at the critical moment, he lost his proper proportion.
