Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 550
"win……"

Hearing the name announced by the examiner, the originally quiet practitioner and the surrounding people instantly exploded into a commotion.

Even Mr. Mengyang, who had been dozing off on the high stage, opened his eyes and took a look at the audience.

Everyone was caught off guard by the dramatic opening.

"I didn't expect it to be the former King of Qin's civil war..."

"The former Princess Qin is sure to lose."

"Don't say that she is guaranteed to lose, she can't win and dare not win at all, right? If she wins, where will the face of the former Qin royal family be..."

"After all, Young Master Ying is the one who can inherit the throne..."

The onlookers standing outside Dengyun Terrace talked a lot.

"This is probably the most bizarre battle in the history of the practice world." Looking at this scene on the high platform, Jiang Yuanyuan couldn't help sighing to Ji Jiashu.

He and Ying Xun are both princes of the same family, so they can somewhat understand Ying Xun's situation, but even he has never seen such a miraculous duel.

No one has ever seen it.

The duel between the children of the royal family is actually not uncommon. When a king has many sons, each son will always fight openly and secretly.

During the family banquet celebration and hunting, the princes confronted each other under the eyes of their father and the people, and all kinds of chess and sword competitions were very common.

But it was the first time that the princess and the son had a showdown.

This is very fresh.

The huge gap in status between the two will also bring great controversy to this battle.

Jiang Yuanyuan looked at the discussing people below with deep eyes.

"If the eldest son of the former Qin Dynasty lost to the eldest princess, this scene would be wonderful!"

"Nonsense! How could the princess be the son's opponent! The cultivation they received are different..."

"That woman couldn't possibly be the opponent of the former Qin stepson!"

As soon as this remark came out, practitioners and people around him all echoed it.

The sons of princes are called princes.

Now that the princes and kings are independently calling themselves kings, this title is also used to refer to young men from rich and noble families. It is a respectful title for the sons of bureaucrats and nobles, and the sons of the monarch are also called princes.

Ying Xun lived in Southern Chu, and the current former King of Qin was his peer. He was neither a prince nor a son of a family, but out of respect for his status, people in the former Qin called him the eldest son.

But whether it is the former son or the current aristocratic family, the so-called piano, chess, calligraphy and painting and the six arts of a gentleman were originally used to cultivate the son.

Ying Xun as a male is highly anticipated, but no one expects Ying Baoyue as a princess.

Knowing some skills is naturally a icing on the cake, but the royal family will not go to famous masters to carefully teach the princess. Princesses are usually taught by female officials, as long as they can read and understand etiquette.Famous masters are all for the son, and all the power will be put on the cultivation of the son.

After all, the son has the right to inherit the throne, but the princess does not.

Under such circumstances, it is naturally impossible for Ying Xun, the second in line heir to the throne of the former Qin Dynasty, to lose to a mere princess.

Whether in reason or in etiquette.

The words say so.

But if everyone had the confidence to say this before today's chess game, but Ying Baoyue's performance in the morning chess game exceeded everyone's expectations, and everything became subtle for a while.

There are many people around with a look of watching the excitement.

"Eldest son..." Listening to the rumors around him at this time, Huo Zhan, who was standing beside Ying Xun, shrank his pupils, and suddenly looked at the young man beside him with calm eyes and no signs of anger or anger.

Ying Xun quietly watched the examiner on the stage with a calm expression, but the clenched fists under his sleeves revealed his uneasy mood.

The first round of draws caused such a commotion, but the examiners' draws continued.

The practitioners left on the Dengyun Terrace were all very famous, and soon the appearance of other examinee opponents grabbed everyone's attention, and Huo Zhan's opponent was also called next.

"I'm leaving." Ying Xun said calmly without saying anything, climbed onto the climbing platform, walked to his chessboard and sat down.Opposite him, Ying Baoyue had already sat down.

Not far away, Zhao Guang, who was still waiting for the examiner to call his name, looked helplessly at this scene.

When Ying Xun's name was called just now, the people around Ying Baoyue were also shocked. He wanted to say a few words to her, but when he turned his head, he found that there was no one around him.

When she was called by the first one, Ying Baoyue walked towards the first chessboard, as if she was not worried about who her opponent would be at all, and Ying Xun didn't stop when she was called in the middle.

"I didn't expect that we would actually meet in the first game." Ying Xun took a deep breath and straightened his posture, looking at Ying Baoyue who was opposite him and said calmly, "Is there really no one in this lottery?"

When they met on the mountain road before, Ying Baoyue once said to see you on the chessboard.

But this is just a small talk, who would have thought that it would become a prophecy.

Among the 64 people, there were only two of them surnamed Ying, and they met when they came up.Such coincidences inevitably reminded Ying Xun of the obviously out-of-order lottery he had drawn on behalf of the former Qin during the Jiwu battle.

"Maybe or maybe not," Ying Baoyue said with a smile. She is only ranked seventh now, but she can't judge so accurately whether anyone has tampered with the lottery box.

Ying Xun was startled when he heard the words, staring at the calm girl in front of him and frowning, "Why do you..."

He paused, "How come you don't seem to care who you get?"

Based on their relationship and identities, this draw can be regarded as a draw for her, but the woman on the other side of his chessboard doesn't seem to be affected in the slightest.

It's like she doesn't care who her opponent is at all.

"After all, I want to take the first place," Ying Baoyue said with a smile, "It's not the same as anyone else."

Everyone is an opponent she will eventually defeat, and it makes no difference if she meets early or late.

Besides, being able to play chess with Ying Xun is also a rare experience for her.Of course, she wouldn't say this to Ying Xun.

"We will meet sooner or later if we want to win the first place. Even if I don't meet you, I will meet someone stronger than you who can defeat you," Ying Baoyue said with a smile, "It doesn't make any difference to me."

Ying Xun was taken aback when he heard this.He fixedly glanced at the girl opposite, and suddenly understood the complaint that Huo Zhan had inadvertently confided to him when he was drunk.Sometimes this woman is really good at leaving people speechless.

If someone really racked his brains just to make him face her, he wondered if he would want to vomit blood after hearing what she said.

He didn't dare to win because of his status as the heir to the throne, and he was afraid that he would wear small shoes if he won.

She didn't have any conflicts and scruples that those people thought this woman would have.

I guess I never thought about it.

But this is quite problematic, you should at least think about it...

Ying Xun thought.

There is no trace of apprehension or wavering, what does this person think of him...

Ying Xun took a deep breath, feeling a little complicated.

At this time, the examiner had drawn all the lots, and the 32 huge chessboards were all filled.

"The fourth game of war chess, let's start!"

Accompanied by the ringing of the bell on the high platform where the examiner was, the practitioners beside the chessboard grabbed the chess pieces and guessed first.

Although it was the fourth game of chess, it was the first open-air game played in front of the public.The primary ceremony has always focused on appreciation, and on the high platform where the examiners are located, 32 large vertical chessboards were erected, and every move of each practitioner was posted in real time for the public to comment on.

The 32 chessboards started at the same time, and everyone watching was dazzled.

However, almost everyone's eyes were first on the big chessboard numbered No. [-], which belonged to Ying Xun and Ying Baoyue.

"This is the first time playing chess with you."

The result of guessing first was that Ying Xun held the black and went first. He quietly placed the first chess piece on the board, and suddenly said.

"I didn't even know you could play chess."

"Really?" Ying Baoyue looked up at him and smiled, and said, "After all, we didn't know each other well when we were in Efang Palace."

"Do you know," Ying Xun said indifferently, "When I was in Efang Palace, I never lost to anyone in chess."

Of course he didn't say this to brag about his own superior chess skills.

After all, since he started playing chess at the age of three, no one has ever lost to him.Even if he just learned the rules and messed up, the palace servants, ministers, or distant relatives, those adults who are several times his age, have never defeated him.

When he was a child, he thought it was because of his extraordinary talent, but he realized it when he grew up.

It's not that he can't lose, but that others can't win when they face him.

Because he is the legitimate son of the eldest son of the Great Qin Emperor.

No one dared to offend him, and of course no one dared to win him.

"But there is only one person. I have never beaten her in chess."

Ying Baoyue paused while touching the chess piece, and slightly raised his head to look at the young man on the opposite side of the chessboard. Naturally, he could only ask, "Who is that person?"

"It's my mother," Ying Xun said with a smile, "more specifically..."

"The person who almost became my stepmother."

　Ying Baoyue: The smile is a little stiff
