Ling Yun sighed softly and said, "Father-in-law, my son-in-law thinks it's better to forget it! My son-in-law is really not good at playing chess. I'm afraid that even if he works hard day and night, he may not be able to beat his father-in-law in a short time."
Ling Yun's words of retreating in order to advance were actually seeking more benefits.
Luo Jingtong didn't see any suspicion, and when he saw him dejected, he seemed to refuse, and quickly cheered him up, "Hey! Having said that, don't underestimate yourself, as long as you work hard, you still have a good chance.
, as the saying goes, where sincerity comes, gold and stone can be opened. If you don’t try it, how do you know it won’t work?”
Ling Yun rubbed his hands, licked his lips, and said eagerly, "Then the father-in-law must also give some benefits to the son-in-law, otherwise the son-in-law will really have no energy."
"What benefit do you want?"
"Father-in-law, do you think this is good? If my son-in-law wins by chance, you won't stop me from seeing my sister Tianyi. What do you think?"
Only then did Ling Yun reveal his ambition, because his ultimate goal was not just to meet him once.
"oh?"
Luo Jingtong pretended to think, and suddenly looked at him thoughtfully, as if he wanted to know what he wanted to do.
Seeing his hesitation, Ling Yun immediately said, "My father-in-law didn't say anything. Is it because he was afraid of losing to his son-in-law?"
Ling Yun didn't dare to give Luo Jingtong time to hesitate. If Luo Jingtong accidentally saw through his inner thoughts, it would be troublesome.
"It's just you kid? Apart from being a shameless person, I don't see any real ability. If you are lucky enough to win, then that's up to you. What do you think?"
Ling Yun's heart suddenly pounded, and his heart was full of secret joy. He gritted his teeth tightly and tried his best to suppress the joy in his heart. He stared at him and said seriously, "That's a deal!"
"You kid, you're still doing this. I always keep my word. Once I say it, it's hard to catch up. As long as you beat me, everything is up to you. This is what I said."
After receiving Luo Jingtong's promise, Ling Yun dared to exhale loudly. It was really uncomfortable to hold it in just now.
Seeing Ling Yun's uneasy expression, Luo Jingtong narrowed his eyes and asked, "Why, are you looking excited or nervous?"
Ling Yun took a deep breath, calmed down, and said with a smile, "Father-in-law, my son-in-law is so happy!"
"happy?"
Ling Yun nodded.
"how do I say this?"
"My father-in-law asked my son-in-law to meet my sister Tianyi. Of course my son-in-law would be happy."
"Why are you saying this? Now that you haven't defeated me, you are thinking about the next step. What a half-hearted brat."
"No, no! Although my son-in-law has always lost before, it may not be the case this time. My son-in-law will play again with his father-in-law. What do you think, father-in-law?"
"Didn't you just say you didn't want to get off?"
"My father-in-law was joking. My son-in-law just took a rest, and now he has the strength to fight with his father-in-law for another 300 rounds."
When I said I wouldn't play just now, it was because there was no benefit to it. But it's different now. I got the promise I wanted, and I was instantly motivated and in high spirits.
In less than a moment, Ling Yun arranged the scattered chessboard again. The Chu River and Han realms were immediately filled with war clouds. He stretched out his hand and said, "Father-in-law, please."
The battle resumed. Ling Yun was now more serious and his moves were flying. Different from before, he seemed to be fully prepared and moved the chess pieces without thinking.
The cannons in the middle palace were covered by horses, the soldiers were carried in two chariots, and the generals with heavy artillery were in a direct fight, which was inextricable.
At this time, Luo Jingtong realized that something was wrong. The person he was playing against seemed to be a different person. The chess moves were aggressive and he would fall into the underdog if he was not careful.
Seeing that the heavy artillery general was about to be defeated, Luo Jingtong raised his eyebrows and looked solemn, thinking about the counterattack strategy.
At this time, Luo Jingtong had already lost a cannon and a horse. The pawns crossing the river kept approaching his general step by step. In about half a tea time, the two sides formed a decisive battle situation.
…
Ling Yun was at the lower right corner, with his chariot guarding the front and the cannon in the middle. His chariot was charging straight down. Luo Jingtong's general couldn't fight back, and if he did, the general would have to face him.
Seeing this formation, the defeat was certain. Luo Jingtong stood up in a panic and kept shouting, "This game doesn't count, start again, start again..."
Although Ling Yun won, the sweat on his forehead was enough to show his nervousness. He was relieved until the victory was decided. At this moment, he heard Luo Jingtong regretting his words again, and he immediately said unhappily, "Father-in-law, you can't do this.
, my son-in-law won by luck, you can’t go back on your promise.”
Hearing this, Luo Jingtong seemed to have discovered something. He stared at him with eyes wide open. Ling Yun felt guilty and did not dare to look at him. He was awake anyway. No matter what, Luo Jing would never be allowed to
Same regret.
Ling Yun pretended to sob softly and said pitifully, "Father-in-law, you see, my son-in-law has never won during this period of time. Only today, as time went by, I was lucky enough to win half of the chess pieces. You can't regret it!"
Until now, Luo Jingtong still didn't understand that Ling Yun had a trick up his sleeve from the very beginning of the match with him. No wonder this guy could always match him evenly at the beginning of the match, but when it came to the decisive battle, his flaws were revealed.
It turned out that this kid let him do it on purpose. This was simply an insult to him.
Perhaps because he noticed Luo Jingtong's unkind gaze, Ling Yun quickly explained, "Father-in-law and son-in-law have never hidden their clumsiness. It was really my son-in-law's luck that narrowly defeated him in this game."
Luo Jingtong glanced at him meaningfully, and then his eyes fell on the chessboard. At this time, Ling Yun only had four pieces on the chessboard, but he had five. Even though he had one more piece, he still lost by one move.
Seeing Ling Yun pretending to cry, he knew in his heart that he would not go back on his word, but if he was allowed to see his daughter, he would feel uncomfortable. After all, this kid deliberately hid his clumsiness and let him get into trouble. He would be angry just thinking about it.
The boy's wish is to raise his tail to the sky.
After thinking about it, Luo Jingtong suddenly thought of a way to get the best of both worlds. He just agreed to let them meet, but he did not agree to release his daughter to meet him.
In this way, the meeting is their business, and he doesn't care. If he likes to meet or not, he just doesn't want to get involved.
It's just that without his consent, his daughter can't leave the other courtyard, and Ling Yun can't enter other courtyards. Luo Jingtong smiled strangely and secretly said that he wanted to meet, so you can find your own way to go. It's none of his business anyway.
As the saying goes, it's none of your business, just leave it alone.
It's Ling Yun's business to meet, so what's his business?
It has to be said that Luo Jingtong's logic was simply amazing. Ling Yun never expected that this would be the result he got in the end.
Thinking of this, Luo Jingtong leaned back, with an indifferent expression, and said casually, "Well! If you don't regret it, you will never regret what I said. It's just that I just agreed to your meeting. As for how you meet, that's up to you.
