Madam, please ascend.

Chapter 252 Leisure Chess
From beginning to end, King Xian never returned to Daxia.

In fact, after Prince Duan lost the Tiancan Sect, Daxia had been completely controlled by the brother and sister Su Qing and Su Rui.

If the crucifixion plan went ahead as planned, and Su Qing was killed on the way back to Tokyo, it would be a real disaster for Daxia, leaving only the young emperor Su Rui to carry on the great cause.

Unfortunately, one wrong step led to another. The prisoners lost the best opportunity to take action because of the resurrected "King Xian", and now the initiative of the situation is no longer in their hands.

In the eyes of various forces, the situation in Dong'an City is treacherous and they don't know where to start.

Only Yun Yi himself knew best that he had no choice at all, because Da Xia would definitely return to the hands of the little emperor.

When Xiaodouzi saw that the mysterious man in the cloak had walked away, he returned to the table with a playful smile.

He said, "Sir, do you have money to pay the bill?"

"Ah, you're really stumped by a penny." Yun Yi laughed at this and said, "Do you really want to see my sword?"

"Ok!"

"Okay, then I'll lend it to you to have a look." After saying that, Yun Yi casually inserted the sword and the scabbard into the ground. The hard bluestone was easily inserted as if it were tofu, without making any unnecessary sound.

This sword may seem ordinary in the world of cultivation, but it is a magical weapon in the secular world.

Xiaodouzi stared with wide eyes. He only knew that swords were sharp, but he didn't understand how the scabbard could penetrate the stone.

Yun Yi extended his hand and gestured: "Look."

Xiaodouzi wanted to lie on the sword, his eyes almost glued to the scabbard. Although he was at an age where he didn't even know what a sword was, he showed the same sword-crazy look as Boyao.

He asked, "Can I touch it?"

"Touch it."

After getting permission, Xiaodouzi first touched the scabbard tentatively with his hand. He found that the touch was ordinary and there was nothing special about it. Then he plucked up the courage to barely hold the entire scabbard with both hands.

The child was almost as tall as the sword and looked really funny.

Yun Yi watched and smiled, and at the same time signaled to the proprietress not far away not to worry.

The mother's eyes were blazing with fire. It seemed that Xiaodouzi would be severely beaten tonight.

"Can I pick it up?" Xiaodouzi asked again.

This time, Yun Yi shook his head and said, "You can't lift it."

"I'm very strong! Every morning I fill the water tank at home and help my mother make tofu pudding!"

"That's not enough. If you don't believe me, you can try it."

This is easy to say, as easy as pulling a carrot out of the mud.

But Xiaodouzi was so angry that his face turned red, and the sword didn't move at all.

But he still refused to admit defeat. He took two deep breaths and tried again.

Yun Yi did not say anything to stop them, but just watched the joke from the side.

With him sitting here, although there were other people around looking at this place, they did not dare to point or criticize, for fear of offending this young man in luxurious clothes.

"When I first used a sword, I was just like you. I just thought it looked pretty and wanted to see it."

“After seeing it, I want to touch it, and after touching it, I want to weigh it.”

"Guess what you want to do after considering it?"

Xiaodouzi happened to ask, "Can I draw my sword?"

Yun Yi smiled and said, "That's right, it's all about drawing the sword. No matter how much you've done before, no matter how much preparation you've made, it all comes down to drawing the sword. It's that simple."

Xiaodouzi was confused: "Is it wrong to draw the sword?"

"Of course you are right, but have you ever thought about what you would want to do once you pull out the sword?"

"Ah? I... I don't know." "After you draw the sword, you will want to use it to cut something to see if it is sharp."

Xiaodouzi quickly waved his hands: "I didn't mean that."

Yun Yi continued, "At first, you'll chop junk, like branches or table corners. Later, you'll imagine what a bloody sword would look like, so you'll try using it to kill chickens and dogs."

"I won't listen anymore, I won't listen anymore!"

"Haha, then I won't go on." Yun Yi saw that Xiaodouzi was a little flustered, so he said, "Some people say that when you draw your sword, you will become a swordsman. Do you want to be a swordsman?"

This little bean understood very well, "I think!"

"Then let me tell you, nothing in this world is accomplished overnight. Only after you draw your sword will you spend all day pondering what a sword is and what it can be used for, repeating this over and over again until you waste your entire life."

After saying this, Yun Yi suddenly lost interest and stood up and left.

Xiaodouzi shouted, "Sir, your sword has fallen!"

Yun Yi said, "It's worth the money for your bowl of beans. If you can pull it out, it's yours. If you can't pull it out, I'll keep it with you for a few days."

The proprietress said anxiously, "Dear guest, please take the sword away. Leaving it here may bring disaster to us mother and son."

Yun Yi did not do so, but simply said, "Don't worry, whoever dares to touch this sword or your tofu stall in Dong'an City will not be blamed for being unreasonable by Prince Xian's Mansion."

Lady Boss: “This…”

Unfortunately, she didn't have time to say anything, because the mysterious man suddenly walked away, as if he had taken a distance of dozens of steps for an ordinary person in one step.

Prince Xian's Mansion... His clothes were embroidered with golden dragons...

The proprietress finally reacted and reached out to give Xiaodouzi a smack on the head: "That's His Royal Highness Prince Xian, you really know how to get into trouble!"

Xiaodouzi was hit but seemed unaware of it. He stared at the sword blankly, thinking about how to pull it out.

The distinguished guest said that if the sword could be drawn, he would give it to Xiaodouzi.

Adults must keep their word!

When Yun Yi returned to Prince Xian's mansion, Zhuque immediately asked, "Why did you leave the sword at the tofu stall? Is it really because you couldn't afford a penny?"

Yun Yi withdrew the seamless method and stretched lazily, "Xiaodouzi was born with a sword bone and a good character. He is a good seedling."

"Are you thinking of taking in a disciple?"

"I'm just a lazy guy, why would I want to take in a disciple? But Sword Burial Valley is in need of a swordsman like this one."

"Why do I feel that you have bad intentions?"

"Who do you take me for? A bad person who kidnaps children?"

Suzaku suddenly shot out a cold arrow: "You wouldn't like his mother's type, would you? Even though she looks a bit rough, she can still be considered...half-beauty."

Yun Yi explained, "Just think of it as a casual move I made. Who knows, it might come in handy someday."

Speaking of chess, Princess Xian, Jiang Miaojin, asked from the side, "You came back so late from court. Did something happen?"

"I met with Su Qing, Qin Dingfeng, and the Crown Prince of Dayan, Helian Ran, respectively."

Suzaku: "It's been quite busy."

Jiang Miaojin asked: "What is their attitude? What are you going to do next?"

Yun Yi replied, "There's more than one chessboard in Dong'an City. The Princess of Daxia and the Crown Prince of Dayan have chess to play, the Prime Minister of the dynasty and the Imperial Preceptor of Dayan have chess to play, and my Prince Xian Su Xin and Prince Duan Su Cen also have chess to play."

Suzaku: "The more I listen, the more confused I become."

Yun Yi: "To be honest, I don't know how the situation will develop next, but no matter what, they won't be able to endure it for much longer."

Jiang Miaojin just cut off a branch of flowers, making a "crackling" sound. "So we have to counter the opponent's moves and strike back."
