At the beginning, I gave up my military power with a cup of wine, and I ascended the throne

Chapter 350: Going out to sea to search for immortals
Then Xue Changqing made his move, and after each side took eight steps, the black piece was still unable to escape.

Worried Xiaohan and Qingyao looked at each other, but neither of them could turn the situation around.

"Lost."

After watching for a long time, Qingyao said dejectedly: "This is the ninth game we have lost today."

“I didn’t win a single game.”

Xiao Han scratched his head and said with a wry smile, "No more playing, no more playing, Miaoyu, you come and play the next round with Guanzi."

After saying that, he lifted his butt, moved to Qingyao's side, and together they took on the role of watching the game.

Miaoyu sat down, twirled the corner of her sleeve, raised her hand and said, "Guanzi, do you want black or white?"

“Both black and white are fine.”

Xue Changqing stroked his beard and said calmly, "Miss Miaoyu chooses first."

"Then I'll take advantage."

Miaoyu smiled and nodded: "Black goes first."

After saying that, he picked up a black piece from the chess box and placed it on the star position in the upper left corner. The two of them, one in front and one behind, placed the pieces one after another, extremely quickly and almost without thinking.

The black piece falls, the white piece follows, and then the black piece continues to fall.

"Sister Miaoyu's 19th move seems to be very powerful."

Qingyao watched the two of them fight forty or fifty times, and they were evenly matched. She was surprised and said, "Now neither of them is losing."

"Hey."

"That's how ignorant you are."

Xiao Han glanced at her and said leisurely, "Miaoyu's chess skills are very high. She played ten games against Xie Peiyao in a row, with six wins, three draws and one loss."

"hiss."

Qingyao took a deep breath, "Is this true? I heard that the tigress is very good at chess."

"Of course it's true."

Xiao Han was a little embarrassed: "At that time, Xie Peiyao asked me to play chess. I played ten games with her and lost all ten games."

"It was Miaoyu who helped me get back on track. She won all five games when she played with black first, and won one, tied three, and lost one of the five games when she played with white second. Since then, Xie Peiyao has not dared to play chess with her anymore."

Miaoyu and Xie Changqing fought from forty or fifty to one hundred and twenty-three moves, and were still evenly matched. The two were in a fight to the death.

The black and white pieces on the chessboard are like two dragons trying to kill each other, and neither can give in.

Xue Changqing's face was no longer as calm as before, but rather looked a little solemn, his brows were furrowed, and the speed of his moves also slowed down.

The same was true for Miaoyu. After 283 moves, the situation on the chessboard was still unclear.

Qingyao and Xiao Han, two equally bad chess players, could not understand the situation at all and could only keep silent.

After three hundred moves, Miaoyu and Xue Changqing stopped at the same time.

"Official chess skills are indeed superb."

she sighed.

"Cough cough."

Xue Changqing frowned, "Ms. Miaoyu, if I play thirty moves, I will definitely lose."

"Wow."

Qingyao looked at her with stars in her eyes: "Sister Miaoyu actually won against Mr. Xue."

“It’s just a tie.”

Miaoyu shook her head: "And this is because I had the first move. If I played white and then moved, I would be the loser."

"Miss Miaoyu is too modest."

Xue Changqing said sternly: "If the young lady plays black, I'm afraid there is no one in the world who can beat Miss Miaoyu in chess."

These words were said by Xue Changqing, who was known to be invincible. If these words were to be spread out, Miaoyu's name would probably shake the world in an instant.

Although her name is now known to everyone, it does not affect her status among the chess players in the world. "You have played for a whole day. You are tired. Let's go back and rest."

Xiao Han stood up and stretched, "Guanzi, you will set off in three days, and we will meet in the East China Sea then."

"it is good."

Xue Changqing nodded.

Yesterday, Ruoyan brought the specific information about Shenlong Island. The dragon slaying was imminent, and Xiao Han was unwilling to delay any further.

He just wanted an excuse to conceal his true intentions temporarily. If the news of slaying the dragon were to be leaked, it would surely cause an uproar in the world.

Many unexpected events might occur at that time. Although he is not afraid, he also does not like troubles to come one after another. After all, that is the dragon among the four auspicious beasts, a creature in mythology and legend.

Whether it is dragon blood, dragon essence, or even dragon meat, they are all rare treasures with infinite uses. There are countless people in the world who covet them.

So confidentiality is the most important thing.

However, as soon as he, the King of Xiliang, leaves Shuiyun Mountain, countless spies will spread the news of his whereabouts to all parts of the country in an instant, making it impossible to prevent him.

Still have to think of a safe reason.

The night gradually deepened. In the courtyard, the evening breeze echoed, making the colder air even colder. In the side hall, the candlelight was bright and flickering.

A faint scent of tea filled the air as Xiao Han lay sideways on a chair.

"Miaoyu, think of an excuse to keep the matter of slaying the dragon a secret for now."

He said, "At least we have to keep it secret before we go out to sea."

"Isn't that simple?"

Miaoyu said casually, "Doesn't the Peach Blossom Sword God like to go out to sea to visit immortals? Young Master, you can use it too."

"Just tell others that an immortal came to you in a dream and told you to go to the East China Sea."

"That's a good excuse."

Xiao Han said: "Just use this."

"When do you plan to leave, sir?"

she asked.

"Five days later, after I leave, you and Ning Xi will handle the Shuiyun Mountain affairs, and Yuan Shao, Mr. Guo, and Gu Yun will discuss the military and political affairs of Xiliang."

"Don't worry, sir. I will take care of it."

He always trusted Miaoyu's work, and Xiao Han also wanted to take this opportunity to see if he could lure the snake out of its hole.

Draw out some unstable factors in Xiliang and then eliminate them together.

On the second day, Xiao Han called his trusted men under the Xiliang Palace to Su Yunshan and explained some things to them.

On the fifth day, escorted by hundreds of riders, he rode on the royal sedan chair and slowly left Xiliang City, heading south to Qingyou Pass.

Accompanying them were Xueying, Shen Pei and Huchi, while Yaoyue and Nie Siniang set out in secret ahead of time and headed for the East China Sea Pier.

That was the territory of the Dongming Sect, and they had already prepared a large ship for sailing.

Two days later, the carriage drove out of Qingyou Pass and entered the territory of Qingzhou, then continued southward. After reaching Jizhou, it turned east and headed straight for the East China Sea.

Whether in the Northern Wei Dynasty or in the Central Plains, at this moment, everyone's eyes are on Xiao Han, the King of Xiliang.

With only a hundred cavalrymen and two guards, the King of Xiliang dared to leave Xiliang and step into the Central Plains.

You know, the Central Plains court is now more wary of the King of Xiliang than ever before, even more than the Marquis of Zhenbei back then.

It can be said that they want to get rid of him as soon as possible, but even if Xiao Han blatantly entered the Central Plains, no one dared to move.

Because when he left Qingzhou, the Marquis of Qingzhou mobilized tens of thousands of elite cavalry and stationed them on the border.

Now Qingzhou and Xiliang, the Marquis of Qingzhou and Xiao Han, the King of Xiliang, are already in the same boat.

Of course, the tens of thousands of Qingzhou cavalry stationed on the border are only a symbolic threat.

The truly terrifying thing is the Xiliang Iron Cavalry behind Qingzhou, even if they deployed an army of 200,000 on the border between Xiliang and Northern Wei.
