After hesitating for a long time, City Lord Sha Shao finally made a move.
Before he could even raise his hand to make the move, Chu Tianshu followed up with a "pop" sound, which was called a clean and neat move.
The corners of Sha Shao's mouth twitched hard twice, and the beads of sweat on his forehead became more dense.
After a while, Chu Tianshu picked up the tea cup next to him and took a few sips.
He was really thirsty.
When Chu Tianshu came in, he saw this tea cup sitting on the table, but no one had used it.
What he didn't know was that Qingxuan, the teacup sword, had already used it before he entered the courtyard.
Seeing Chu Tianshu using the tea cup she had used, and Jian Qingxuan beside her, a strange feeling suddenly came over her heart, and her pretty face couldn't help but feel a little feverish.
However, Dou Chengfang and Qingqing, who knew that Jian Qingxuan had used the cup before, were all focused on the chess game and did not react. They also did not notice anything strange about Jian Qingxuan.
Jian Yun's eyes flickered, feeling a little embarrassed.
It was obviously not what he wanted for City Master Sha Shao to lose to a handyman on their side.
Therefore, Jian Yun winked at Chu Tianshu several times in succession, but Chu was already forced to put his finger on the line, and there was the temptation of being a steward promised by Jian Yun. How could he just admit defeat? Naturally, he pretended not to have seen it.
.
Soon, City Lord Sha Shao was defeated again.
His fingers trembled slightly as he raised his eyes to look at Chu Tianshu.
Chu Tianshu discovered that there were bloodshot eyes in that guy's eyes.
It seems that this person's desire to win is not very strong!
City Master Sha Shao suddenly tightened his fists, and the handful of chess pieces he held in his right hand was crushed into powder, falling from his fingers and scattered on the chessboard.
He gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Again..."
Before he finished speaking, a strong hand pressed on his shoulder.
It was Jian Yun who took action.
Jian Yun said with a smile on his face: "Young City Lord, our City Lord is still waiting for you. It's not appropriate to keep him waiting for a long time. Why don't we move over first?"
I'm afraid I can't count on Chu to admit defeat. It's not appropriate to let the young city lord continue to lose. Then I can only take him away first.
City Lord Sha Shao turned his head and looked at Jian Yun.
I was puzzled. I just came out of Jianxi Lai's place and said I wanted to come to Jian Qingxuan, but I went to see him again? What does this mean?
However, he quickly realized that Jian Yun was trying to help him step down.
"Okay... of course it's important to meet the city lord, let's go..."
City Master Sha Shao stood up and left.
His steps were staggering a bit.
Ever since he was young, he has always been the best in whatever he does. Unexpectedly, this time he would fall into a trap at the hands of a handyman.
He was a little shocked!
After hurriedly walking out of the courtyard, City Master Sha Shao never even looked at Jian Qingxuan again, let alone got close to him.
There was a reason for embarrassment, but I didn’t take it into consideration.
Now, he just wants to leave here as soon as possible, because as long as he sees Chu Tianshu, he will feel ashamed.
Seeing Jian Yun also leaving with City Master Sha Shao, Chu Tianshu wanted to stop him and ask him, where was the promised promotion?
However, he naturally cannot be so reckless.
After Sha Shao City Master left, Qingqing looked at Chu Tianshu, with unconcealed amazement in his eyes: "You can actually beat Sha Shao City Master? Why didn't I realize that your chess skills were so good before?"
"I should have thought of it a long time ago." Jian Qingxuan looked complicated, "How can someone who can restore the Rubik's Cube be so bad at chess?"
"You still know how to hide your clumsiness?"
Dou Chengfang was not as innocent as Qingqing. He looked at Chu Tianshu and said with a half-smile, "I didn't realize you were so scheming before. "
Chu Tianshu smiled bitterly and said: "I have a low status, so I really don't dare to be presumptuous in front of the young lady and the two girls."
"Tch." Qingqing curled her lips and said with a look of disbelief: "You dare to be so presumptuous in front of City Master Sha Sha, but you don't dare to be so presumptuous in front of us?"
Chu Tianshu sighed: "Cheng Shao wants my finger, how dare I lose?"
As soon as these words came out, Dou Chengfang and Qingqing stopped saying anything, and they no longer felt that it was abnormal.
Because it is indeed true.
After a moment, Dou Chengfang curled her lips and said, "But if you do this, you may be self-defeating."
"Sister Dou, what did you say?" Qingqing asked in confusion: "He has already won. Does it mean that City Master Sha Shao still wants his finger?"
"I will definitely not kill my finger." Dou Chengfang glanced at Chu Tianshu and said jokingly: "I'm afraid it will directly kill him."
Riding on a horse, what this woman said is not unreasonable.
In the eyes of these Jedi dignitaries who regard human life as nothing, the life of a mere handyman is nothing if they really want it.
Chu Tianshu's mood couldn't help but become heavy again.
"Don't worry, I won't let them kill you."
Jian Qingxuan glanced at Chu Tianshu with bright eyes, then frowned slightly and said: "I don't know what happened to Brother Sha, he is such a proud and arrogant person..."
"Yes." Qingqing agreed, "Just now I saw that he couldn't even walk steadily."
Hearing what she said, Jian Qingxuan became even more worried, pacing back and forth on the ground.
Qingqing volunteered: "Miss, how about I go take a look?"
Jian Qingxuan thought for a moment and said, "That's fine."
After receiving the permission, Qingqing immediately trotted away.
She really wanted to see what the situation of City Master Sha Shao, who had always been like sitting on the clouds, was like after being attacked by someone Chu.
…
Jianxi came to the spacious study room.
Jian Yun leaned slightly and told Jian Xi what had just happened to Jian Qingxuan.
As for City Master Sha Shao, he went to the courtyard where he stayed to bathe and change clothes first.
I was sweating all over from playing chess with Chu Tianshu just now. Besides, he was really not in a good condition right now and it was not suitable to come see Jian Xilai right away.
Jian Yun explained the whole process very objectively and said no more. There was no personal emotion mixed into his words.
Jian Xilai's gray eyebrows raised: "You are even good at backgammon, which Qingxuan likes? It seems really not easy."
Jian Xilai echoed: "Either he is truly gifted, or he has been deliberately and meticulously prepared in advance."
Jian Xilai shook his head: "The possibility of deliberate preparation is unlikely. According to what you said, if he hadn't been threatened by Sha Ping today, he wouldn't have shown such superb chess skills. Since he didn't plan to show his superb chess skills, naturally he would
No advance preparation is necessary.”
Jian Yun nodded and said with deep approval: "The city lord is right."
Jian Xilai said in a deep voice: "Keep staring, I want to see why he is here."
Jian Yun responded: "Yes."
Jian Xilai continued: "The second brother just sent me a letter. The matter has been decided. The palace master has left him there to refine the countermeasures, so he will not come back for the time being."
Jian Yun asked: "Then you take Sha Pingwei directly to Renyin Hall?"
Jian Xi came and said, "I have to discuss this matter with Sha Pingwei and explain it clearly to him. We can't force him to think about it."
Jian Yun pondered for a moment and said, "It's not a bad thing. He won't refuse, right?"
"Who knows."
Jian Xi Lai said something, and then sighed: "I hate that I, Jian Xi Lai, didn't raise a worthy son. Otherwise, why would I have to rely on outsiders."
