Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

Chapter 874
It's cold in winter, and your hands will get numb if you can't knit a few times, but the freshness of Jiang Yu'an and Aqin is great, and they continue to knit after getting cold.

They are all ingenious little girls, and soon a few "scarves" were freshly baked.

Qi Hengdi and Ji Xun are playing chess in the next tent.

"Is there a letter from King Xuan?" Emperor Qi Heng left his son behind and asked.

"I just received a letter from him a few days ago, he is fine." Ji Xun replied.

Since the conversation between the two of them yesterday, they tried to avoid talking about the child, and talked about other things randomly.

Soon the topic seemed to be over, the two had nothing to say, and the atmosphere became a little dull.

"You lost this game, Ah Xun." Emperor Qi Heng said suddenly.

Ji Xun played carelessly with something on his mind, and when he looked at the chessboard, he was indeed almost lost, as if he had already lost.

But he quickly said, "I won't admit defeat." As he spoke, he raised his head and stared at Emperor Qi Heng, "Father, why don't we take a gamble? If I lose this game of chess, I will listen to you. If I win, please The emperor listens to the son once."

Qi Hengdi glanced across the chessboard again, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"If you can win this game of chess, then I will not interfere in that matter, otherwise I will handle it at will."

"Okay, it's a deal." Ji Xun nodded resolutely, his face suddenly became serious.

When Shen Yu'an and Jiang Yu'an came in, Ji Xun and Qi Hengdi were playing chess with great devotion, one holding black pieces and the other hot white pieces.

How did they know about the conversation between Ji Xun and Emperor Qi Heng just now? The two ran in cheerfully, each holding a scarf.

"My lord, my lord, this is the scarf I knitted for you, wear it quickly and see if it fits well?" Jiang Yuan said and handed the towel to Emperor Qi Heng.

"Surround me." Emperor Qi Heng didn't even raise his head, his eyes were fixed on the chessboard for a moment.

Shen Yu'an was puzzled, she thought that the ancients would resist such things as scarves, after all, with their aesthetics, they would find them ugly and intrusive.

Besides, there are warm fox fur collars, and scarves seem to be superfluous for the rich unless they are poor.

So although the scarf is the best to knit, Shen Yuan didn't knit it for everyone.

She still planned to give Aunt Bai the half-woven one.

She didn't expect Qi Hengdi to accept it so quickly, and after he surrounded him, he sincerely praised: "Not bad, it's warm, thank you Jiang girl." She didn't lift her head when she spoke, and played chess very seriously.

"Ah Xun, do you want to wear it?" Shen Yuan was also holding a scarf in his hand, which was the one he planned to give to Aunt Bai, and he took it to ask Ji Xun casually.

Unexpectedly, Ji Xun didn't raise his head, and said directly, "Yuan put it on for your husband."

Shen Yuan hurriedly put it on for Ji Xun, and Ji Xun also praised him sincerely.

The expression was the same as that of Emperor Qi Heng, without raising his head, looking at the chessboard as if he was in a war.

Shen Yuan watched in amazement for a while, and found that Ji Xun had never been so cautious, every move was carefully considered, as if every move was related to his own life.

And Emperor Qiheng is the same, what is this father and son competing for?
No one knew what they were competing for. The game of chess continued until evening, and neither of them even had dinner.

It seems that they are playing this game of chess with all their strength.

Outside the camp, Wang Chang and other generals had something to report, but one by one they opened the curtains and found that there seemed to be a war without gunpowder smoke in the tent, so they hurriedly retreated out.

"What's going on?" Niu Zhi was puzzled.

"Looking at how serious they are, they must have gambled money." Lin Yi joked.

"Haha, that's a bet of at least 100 million." Wang Chang also joked with a smile.

The three of them were talking, when the shadow came over, with a warm scarf around his neck.

"Hey, Brother Shadow, what is that around your neck?" Wang Chang asked with a smile.

Shadow blushed, and flashed a little happiness, "This is called a scarf, sister Aqin gave it to me." Afraid that everyone would make fun of him, he hurriedly changed the subject, "By the way, the chess game between the emperor and His Highness hasn't finished yet?"

"It should be soon." Wang Chang raised his eyebrows as he spoke, and glanced at everyone, "How about we make a bet, who will win, the emperor or His Highness?"

"I bet that the emperor will win, hehe." Niu Zhi said as he took out ten taels of silver and held it in his hand, "Who wants to bet with me? I want you one tael for ten taels of silver."

Everyone shrugged, but no one answered.

Just now everyone went in to take a look, and His Highness the Night King was obviously doomed.

"You really don't want to gamble? Maybe His Highness the Night King's superb chess skills can make a comeback?" Niu Zhi smiled and glanced at everyone.

Everyone was silent, at this moment Shen Yuan came over from behind, "General Niu, I'll bet with you." As he spoke, he took out a hundred tael silver note and put it in Niu Zhi's hand, and looked at him with raised eyebrows and a smile, "I want you for 100 tael." Twelve."

"Haha, good." Niu Zhi smiled brightly, and did not forget to whisper to Shen Yu'an, "If the princess loses, don't embarrass Your Highness.

"I won't lose." Shen Yuan replied with a positive face, "A Xun is my husband, I trust him."

She has also seen the chess game, and Ji Xun will undoubtedly lose on the surface, but she just believes in Ji Xun, and she can't tell why, maybe it's because he seems to have played the real thing, the confidence and belief that he will win.

Knowing that this game of chess would not be finished for a while, Shen Yuan invited everyone to enter the camp to drink tea and warm up by the fire.

"Brother Shadow, come here." Aqin called Shadow aside, measured his feet and trousers, and prepared to knit woolen socks and woolen pants for him, envious of all the soldiers.

As for the next tent, Qi Hengdi's face became more and more ugly as he lowered his face, and finally put down the white piece in his hand helplessly, put his hands on his knees, and let out a long sigh.

"In such a desperate situation, you can actually fight back and win the game step by step. Alas, this may be God's will."

"That's it, I won't interfere in this matter anymore, let's go, have dinner, I'm hungry."

Emperor Qi Heng stood up as he spoke, feeling relieved for some reason, as if a big stone that weighed on his heart fell to the ground.

After all, they are their grandsons, if possible, who would want to kill them?
When he got up, he glanced at Ji Xun, whose forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and said with emotion.

"It looks like there are at least two boys in Miss Shen's belly, otherwise you wouldn't be working so hard."

"I hope you and Concubine Ye are lucky enough to be able to restrain that child, to bring peace to the royal family, and to peace in the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"I don't look at the destiny, I only think that things are caused by man." Ji Xun's tone was firm, "How can a little baby lead to a disaster? If a disaster happens, it is either a natural disaster or man-made. My son still says that, I don't believe in witches Tong Zhi said."

"One day, the minister will find out what happened back then and break the witch boy theory."

Emperor Qi Heng didn't speak, but nodded silently, completely convinced by his persistence.

Whether it is a witch boy or not, it is up to the Night King to decide.

After all, isn't it the emperor's fault that the world is in such chaos? Maybe it's time for him to change his temperament, views and structure.
