Chapter 171 Winning

The princess glared at him first, then poked Xie Wuya with her elbow, and said to Su Wan with a smile: "Don't pay attention to your cousin, he is a chess fanatic and can live with chess for the rest of his life."

Xie Wuya pursed his lips and remained silent.

"It's okay, Mr. Xie wants to confirm whether I am the one who can solve the endgame." Su Wan was very clear, what was there that she didn't understand? She reminded him: "Mr. Xie, call me Madam Gu from now on."

She had no relationship with the prince, so it was not appropriate to call her cousin.

Xie Wuya said: "Okay, Madam Gu." After a pause, he asked without thinking: "Can we play chess now?"

The princess couldn't help but hold her forehead. When she saw Su Wan again, she felt that Su Wan had changed. But what had changed, there was an indescribable feeling, as if emitting a kind of light, which attracted people's attention.

"Now." Su Wan wanted to ask Xie Wuya to teach Gu Jingyun piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so she planned to exchange this request. She told Xiaotao: "Go to the storeroom and find a set of Go."

Xiaotao took the key and went to the storeroom.

Gu's mother brought tea and snacks.

Gu Huaizhi brought a small table and placed it in the middle of the room, with a futon on each side.

Su Wan and Xie Wuya sat down.

Xiaotao ran over breathlessly and placed the chessboard on the table.

"Please." Su Wan made a gesture of invitation.

Xie Wuya grabbed a handful of chess pieces from the chess basket for Su Wan to guess.

Su Wan casually said: "Single."

Xie Wuya spread out his palm, with six chess pieces in his palm.

Su Wan guessed wrong and played white chess.

"Thank you." Xie Wuya took the black chess.

According to the rules, the black chess goes first, and he picked up a chess piece and placed it on the chessboard.

Su Wan followed and played the white piece.

Xie Wuya's eyes had some smiles, and it can be concluded that Su Wan has a certain skill.

Su Wan saw him start with 1, 3 diagonal small points, and raised her eyebrows. This was Xie Wuya's proud opening.

She did not change her expression and placed a piece.

The smile on Xie Wuya's face gradually disappeared, and she stared at the chessboard intently. She played the big diagonal pattern on the twelfth move. The big diagonal is known for its thousand changes, traps at every step, and conspiracy at every move. And in the past month, he happened to find a volume of chess records in the Sutra Library, and found this technique on it and did some research.

Xie Wuya easily broke Su Wan's game, which showed his advantage.

Su Wan was just ready at this time, and after a little hesitation, he made a move, and the situation became delicate. It seemed that the chess game had returned to calm after a fierce battle, but in fact, it was undercurrents and murderous intentions were everywhere.

Xie Wuya frowned, holding the chess piece with his fingertips for a long time.

Gu Huaizhi placed a stick of incense next to him.

This was to set a time limit.

Xie Wuya paused, and the white pieces that had been besieging Su Wan all the way were very powerful and had already taken the lead.

The princess had some research on Go, and when she saw this, she felt that Xie Wuya might have won.

Gu Huaizhi looked very calm and poured tea for the two people.

The princess whispered: "Wanwan lost this game, it's a pity."

Gu Huaizhi smiled and said: "Not necessarily." Before the princess spoke, he said lightly: "Watch the chess without saying a word."

The princess didn't believe it, the advantage of black chess was obvious.

Suddenly, her expression changed.

Su Wan took seven black chess pieces in a row, and the black chess collapsed.

Xie Wuya was inspired to fight, and there was a feeling of equal strength, and the blood in his body was boiling. He knew that he had made a mistake in a game, and it was when his mother and Gu Huaizhi talked about this game that he must win. It seemed that he had gained an advantage first, but it was actually a hidden danger. Su Wan made three consecutive moves and immediately reversed the situation.

He took risky moves and attacked step by step.

Su Wan was not a person who followed the rules. Although he seemed to be chaotic and disorderly, every step contained deep meaning. He was not afraid of Xie Wuya's strong attack, and he fought back one by one.

Xie Wuya tightened his fist, and the chess pieces hurt his palms. There was no change on his face. Seeing that there was no place to fight on the chessboard, he closed his eyes and admitted defeat.

He looked at the incense stick that had just burned out: "Your chess skills are very superb."

"No, when Huaizhi took out the incense burner, you were confused. You didn't think long-term and made a wrong move. Otherwise, I might not be able to beat you."

Xie Wuya shook his head: "Playing chess requires extremely strong endurance and concentration. My character is a little worse than yours, which is a little bit worse than yours."

Su Wan didn't argue anymore. She didn't care about winning or losing, so her character was not affected.

Besides, she grew up in the 21st century. Her grandfather and grandfather were deeply involved in Go. The chess records in her family were the essence of ancient and modern times. She also had some talent in this, so she could beat Xie Wuya.

Considering Xie Wuya's age and the era he grew up in, his chess skills are really amazing.

"Another game?" Xie Wuya's eyes were bright, staring at Su Wan without blinking: "There is no time limit this time."

Su Wan waved her hands repeatedly: "No, I have other things to do today, I'm afraid I can't accompany you to the end."

Xie Wuya was very disappointed, and finally kept his courtesy and stopped pestering.

He asked: "Then are you free tomorrow?"

Su Wan shook her head: "I haven't been free in the past few days."

"Will you be free in a few days?" Xie Wuya got to the point.

Su Wan: "..."

Brother, I don't want to play chess, an excuse.

Su Wan scratched his head in distress and changed the subject: "You promised at the beginning that whoever could solve the endgame would help do something unconditionally. Does this count?"

"It counts." Xie Wuya asked immediately: "If I agree, will you play another game?"

"Okay." Su Wan disliked playing chess the most. It took too long, required concentration, and constant thinking. It was too brain-consuming. "I'll send you a message when I'm free."

"It's a deal."

The two clapped their hands in pledge.

Xie Wuya: "Have you thought about the conditions?"

"You teach my brothers and sisters piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Will Mr. Xie agree?"

"Okay." Xie Wuya didn't forget to seek benefits for himself: "Then can I play chess with you often?"

"..."Su Wan felt that it was right not to reveal her identity before.

She could almost foresee that every time she met Xie Wuya in the future, he would pester her to play chess.

Su Wan said carefully: "When they are proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, I promise to play a game with you."

"Three games, no time limit."

Su Wan reluctantly said: "Okay!"

Xie Wuya smiled, "Sorry for bothering you today, I will come to Gu Mansion to teach tomorrow."

"No, no, no need to bother you." Su Wan was as if facing a great enemy, and waved her hands in panic: "I will send them to the Princess' Mansion!"

Xie Wuya nodded: "Goodbye."

The Princess was still dreaming, Xie Wuya actually lost to Su Wan.

And promised Su Wan to stay in the Princess' Mansion to teach Gu Jingyun and Gu Baozhu.

She held Su Wan's hand, and her tone was full of gratitude: "Wanwan, come to the Princess' Mansion often in the future. If you need help, you can find me."

Su Wan politely agreed, watched the Princess and Xie Wuya leave, and she exhaled a breath of turbid air.

"Are you going to ask Zhao Wei to teach Jingyun?" Gu Huaizhi's voice sounded faintly behind her.
