Chapter 48 Why don’t you wear a helmet when playing chess?
But this gloomy expression only lasted for less than a second. In the next moment, Liu Jin'er seemed to have changed his face and returned to his usual cheerful smile.
"The emperor is so fierce. Are you in a bad mood?" Liu Jin'er said.
"I haven't recovered from my illness and need to rest. I won't be disturbed by others." Chu Lu didn't want to get entangled with this guy and said, "If you have nothing to do, go back first."
"No." Liu Jin'er pouted and said, "We finally met once, but before we even exchanged a few words, we hurriedly chased them away. Do you hate them so much?"
"Absolutely." Chu Lu said.
"Uuuuuu, I'm so sad. Your Majesty, you hate me. But I don't want to leave. Your Majesty..." Liu Jin'er blinked her big eyes and said, "How about we do something happy?"
Chu Lu was stunned for a moment, then shocked, and said in his heart: "Xu Liniang? Her? What the hell? Sister?!"
"No! No! I wanted to, but no!" Xu Liniang shouted in Chu Lu's mind, "Ah ah, we have come to this point. I didn't want you to know! I didn't want to!"
When Chu Lu heard this, he was immediately filled with doubts.
At this time, Liu Jin'er pushed the tall woman in front of him and said with a smile: "Let's have a game of chess just like last time."
"Huh? Gambling?"
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten? It's the same as last time. Last time you asked me what my sister's weakness is? I said let's play a game of chess. If you win, I will tell you. And If you lose, you have to kneel down and turn around three times and bark like a dog." Liu Jin'er said with a smile, "You lost five games in a row last time. You won't forget it, right?"
Chu Lu was stunned.
He asked in his heart: "Xu Liniang, could you..."
"Ahhhh!" Xu Liniang shouted in collapse, "No! Stop talking! I'm also trying to save Concubine Ping!"
Chu Lu was silent.
Before crossing over, he heard Xu Liniang talk about how hard she worked, but he didn't take it seriously.
Now it seems that she is really desperate.
It’s just that you don’t have enough intelligence. The harder you work, the more miserable your end will be.
"No wonder you are so afraid of her and still refuse to tell me why." Chu Lu said in his heart.
"Chu Lu, don't tell other people in the chat group, I beg you, I will do anything! I beg you!" Xu Liniang said pitifully.
"I know, I won't tell you."
After comforting Xu Liniang, Chu Lu looked at Liu Jin'er, shook his head and said, "I'm not interested, you should go back."
He is not Xu Liniang, there is no need to do such a thing.
Hearing this, Liu Jin'er raised an eyebrow and said, "No bet? Are you sure?"
"OK." Chu Lu shook his head and said, "Please go back."
"Okay, then I'll go back. By the way, I heard from sister that the emperor has two favorite concubines in the palace, one is the common concubine, and the other is the virtuous concubine. It is said that the emperor got into their bed I can't bear to come out. That Concubine Ping is a dustpan demon and has been burned by my sister. I think Concubine Xian is not a good person." Liu Jin'er said with a cute and cold smile: "How about burning her too. ?”
A coldness flashed in Chu Lu's eyes: "Are you threatening me?"
"So what?" Liu Jin'er said tit for tat.
"Then you'd better be able to afford the price." Chu Lu said slowly: "Betting on chess, right? Okay, come on!"
Liu Jin'er's smile suddenly brightened: "Your Majesty is indeed very cheerful."
She immediately ordered the man to take out the chessboard and get ready.
At this time, Xu Liniang's voice sounded in Chu Lu's mind.
"Chu Lu, actually you don't have to force it." Xu Liniang said: "That woman is a disciple of the chess master and the number one national player in the world. You can't beat her. Let's forget it."
To be honest, Xu Liniang certainly didn't want Concubine Xian to die. How could she let go of that fragrant and soft concubine who was so comfortable to hold? But things have priorities, and she has too much time to take care of herself, so how can she take care of others? And once this started, Liu Jin'er would definitely threaten him endlessly with this matter.
What's more, Chu Lu was just an unrelated passerby, and it was already extremely difficult for him to take the risk to help her. How could he have the nerve to let him be humiliated?
"It's okay." Chu Lu replied in his heart, "I can win."
"Really?" Xu Liniang was surprised and thought, could Chu Lu be a Go master? This is really... people should not be judged by their appearance.
Then she became excited. No matter what, it would be great if she could keep the virtuous concubine without being humiliated.
Soon, the chessboard was set up.
After both sides decided which move to play first, they started playing chess.
Xu Liniang watched with interest at first, wanting to see Chu Lu's superb chess skills.
However, after only looking at it for a short while, her face became full of doubts.
——How do you feel... What a delicious dish, Chu Lu.
At first, she thought it was because she was not good enough and could not see through Chu Lu's chess moves. After observing for a while, she finally confirmed that Chu Lu was the real deal after the chessboard situation was completely one-sided.
"Chu Lu..." Xu Liniang was moved. In her opinion, this was obviously Chu Lu's deliberate sacrifice to save her beloved concubine.
Liu Jin'er came over to take a look at this time. She also knew a little bit about Go. She immediately saw that Chu Lu's defeat was determined, so she said with a smile: "Okay, is it almost done? There is no need to play anymore, right? Your Majesty, please admit defeat. "
Chu Lu shook his head: "No, I still have a chance of winning."
When the national player sitting in front of him heard this, a trace of contempt appeared on his face: "What chance do you have of winning?"
There was no trace of respect for Chu Lu in the national player's tone.
After all, she knew that Chu Lu was an emperor who had lost power, and she had also seen Xu Liniang behave like a dog in circles, so naturally she couldn't respect him.
"Yes." Liu Jin'er helped: "Your Majesty, what chance do you have of winning?"
Xu Liniang in her mind also said: "Chu Lu, forget it, don't hold on. As the saying goes, die early and be reincarnated early... let's just bite the bullet. After all, it's my body that's being used, and it's my face that's being embarrassed."
Chu Lu shook his head and said: "This master's level is indeed superb. He has such abilities at a young age. I guess in addition to being taught by a strict master, he must also have put in a lot of hard work, right?"
"It's natural." The national player said proudly: "I started playing chess when I was three years old, and I never slacked off for a day. At the age of ten, I entered the third rank of concrete. At the age of fifteen, I beat all the famous players in the world, and I was ranked among the first rank gods. At the age of twenty, I was even defeated by my master. "
The national player's remarks were to counter Chu Lu's previous statement that he had a chance of winning.
You have such a brilliant resume and your chess skills are many times higher than yours. How can you have the nerve to say that you still have a chance of winning?
"Sure enough, it's a pity that you made a huge mistake." Chu Lu sighed.
"Ha." The national player couldn't help but laugh, "Oh? What mistake did I make?"
The eyes of the national player were full of ridicule. In her opinion, the outcome of this game was already certain. Chu Lu just didn't want to imitate the barking of a dog, so he was talking nonsense.
——It’s really embarrassing. No wonder he can’t even keep the imperial power.
"You..." Chu Lu looked at her and said sincerely: "Why don't you wear a helmet when playing chess?"
"Ah?" The national player was stunned.
--helmet? What helmet? Why do you need to wear a helmet when playing chess?
The next moment, Chu Lu grabbed the straight wooden stick beside him and swung it towards the head of the national player.
Boom!
The national player's eyes went dark.
