Chapter 46 Destiny is like a chess game (5)

There is a saying in the chess world: "A pawn crossing a river becomes a charioteer."

This is because once the "pawn" chess crosses the middle boundary, it has the function of moving left and right, and its impact on the entire chess situation will be greatly increased.

But at the same time, the pawn crossing the river will also be regarded as a thorn in the side of the enemy chess players, and will be pursued and beaten by the enemy!

Could it be that what Xu Wan said about "Peach Blossom" was Baicheng Shuang? Does she still regret her refusal to join the Three Guards?

Ye Ziqi sighed and straightened his sword forward.

In any case, there is no escape now.

As Ye Ziqi walked, he reminded himself in his heart - why did he stand here?

Is it to gain fame? Is it to be promoted? Is it to expand subordinates, or is it to make those who underestimate you regret?

None of them are right.

In fact, he just couldn't bear it anymore.

Every moment, every moment, anger and hatred are pressing behind him. Even after he is exhausted, at the moment of breathing, a horrible sense of guilt will suddenly surge into his heart, telling him that before he can take revenge, he will not even take the next step.

is wrong!

Higher status, stronger power, I can never restrain my desire to ask for it, and I can never tolerate any opportunity slipping away.

Like a person in a dead swamp, he will try his best to get up and grab the branches above his head, even if the result is only to sink deeper and deeper.

He has endured the peaceful life in Hanye City for too long.

Those who hate will never be happy.

"Bang!"

Under the surprised gaze of the red guard, the long sword fell, and the round shield used for defense was ripped off by Ye Qisheng!

Shocked, the red soldier on the river immediately thrust forward with his spear, pointing the gun directly at Ye Ziqi's heart. Ye Ziqi threw his shield with his left hand, hit the red soldier in the face, and then grabbed the barrel of the red soldier's gun!

The red pawn suddenly panicked, gripped the spear with both hands, and thrust forward with all his strength.

However, Ye Ziqi, who was holding the other end of the spear with his left hand, did not move at all and just looked at him coldly.

The huge gap in strength instantly enveloped the red pawn like a shadow. Ye Ziqi was not even in a hurry to take action, but tortured him psychologically!

The red pawn suddenly felt humiliated, and even more exerted his strength, he wanted to smash the stinky face opposite him.

However, Ye Ziqi still looked like a cold-faced gentleman. The red pawn became more desperate and frightened when he saw it. Just when he was considering whether to throw his gun and admit defeat, Ye Ziqi suddenly changed his expression and said softly: "Sorry, I'm going to fight before the game."

You took the medicine...this doesn’t count as cheating, right?”

When the red pawn saw this, a hundred thousand grass-mud horses galloped in his heart, and he yelled in his heart: What on earth is going on?

Of course he couldn't know that the reason why Ye Ziqi didn't fight back immediately was because Ye Ziqi was stunned and just asked the old demon head in the inner sea: "What's going on? I haven't used Yagami to fall into the palace yet."

What about Jue? Why are you so strong?"

"Haha, of course it's the little girl from the Tang family." The big-eyed demon said lazily: "The yellow pill she gave you is 'Xia Chang Dan', which is born in spring and grows in summer. It strengthens the body and gathers energy. This effect is better than yours."

God is in charge of everything in the palace!"

Ye Ziqi was silent after hearing the words.

All along, Tang Wandie, the seemingly enthusiastic enemy lady, and Big Eyed Demon, the old monster who occupies the magpie's nest, have always been the ones he was most wary of.

However, it was the old demon leader who had pointed out to him before, saying that Tang Wandie and his magic were very compatible and that he must make friends; now Tang Wandie gave him such a useful elixir...

Why do these two potential enemies want to help me like this...

Are you very lucky?

"Forget it, regardless of whether it's cheating or not...just fall down."

After Ye Ziqi finished speaking, he kicked forward, causing the red soldier to spurt out a mouthful of blood and fly backwards a foot away. Just as he was about to stand up, he saw Ye Ziqi turning over his spear and pointing it at his neck.

!

"Black wins!"

As the commander announced the winner, buzzing discussions could be heard from the surrounding watchtowers. This time it was much more lively than before. Unfortunately, there were fewer soldiers in the second guard, so the cheers seemed less.

The most surprised person among the crowd was the second guard, Shi Changlin Fang. He had been sparring with Ye Ziqi for a long time, but he had never seen Ye Ziqi's skills before!

On the general stage, Baicheng Yan's face became increasingly ugly. He was also a "pawn" soldier, but his subordinates were so unable to fight back. This would naturally affect his reputation in the city. But at the moment, there was nothing else besides knocking the wine cup against the table.

The only way is to keep the grudge silently in my heart.

Ye Ziqi wiped off the blood on the sword on his clothes and pressed the hilt again. The blade reflected a miserable bronze color.

After this round, it seemed that the red chess piece was afraid of Ye Ziqi and did not continue to attack him.

"Car two goes into five!"

"Three elephants into five!"

"Horse three into four!"

…

Some people made a noise and some people died.

Finally, when the black chess had only seven stones left, Ye Ziqi forced himself into the nine squares of the red general representing the "main camp" and defeated a 'bishop' soldier on the way forward. The red chess piece could no longer sit idly by and ignore him.

Got it.

"The horse retreats to five with six, and the pawn is taken!"

Ye Ziqi suddenly turned around, and the red chess cavalry turned their horses towards him, and then launched a charge!

Cavalry versus infantry!

The majestic dark horses pressed over like a black cloud, and their powerful hoofbeats kept hitting the stone slab, as if the entire "chessboard" was shaking.

But Ye Ziqi knew that what was really beating was his heart.

Sweat dripped from his forehead, and he suppressed the panic in his heart with all his strength. His eyes were fixed on the horse's hooves, and he saw the horse's eyes, the horse's moist mouth, especially the death-like cavalry on the horse, and the sword shaking in his hand.

A silver star-like spear point.

"drink!"

At the moment when the man and the horse were about to cross each other, Ye Ziqi shouted loudly and hid to the side of the horse. At the same time, he swung his sword vigorously to drive away the spear that was heading straight for his heart!

"Bang!" The spear was swept away, but a dangerous signal came to his mind at the same time.

"Damn, it's so close!"

The hot body of the black horse brushed against Ye Ziqi's chest, and in an instant, Ye Ziqi was knocked three feet away!

After the collision, Ye Ziqi rolled several times on the ground, and finally lay on his back, coughing first, and then coughing up a mouthful of blood!

"He's dead!" Tang Yan shouted out the thoughts of everyone on the watchtower.

This time, even Tang Wandie didn't even bother to refute. She just hurriedly chanted a mantra in a low voice, desperately activating the power of the "Xia Chang Dan" given to Ye Ziqi.

But she also knew that if she activated the medicine at this time, the effect would be minimal. According to common sense, if an infantry wanted to defeat a cavalry, how could this be possible?

"This bastard!" Ye Ziqi coughed and cursed, then tried to struggle to get up.

"Wait a minute, don't you notice something is wrong?" The old demon's voice sounded again.

"What's wrong?"

"These soldiers are too murderous towards you."

"What's this--hey?" Ye Ziqi lay on the ground for a moment, then woke up as if from a dream.

Yes, the old demon is right.

In a martial arts event like chess, a life-and-death declaration must be signed before the game takes place, so it is not surprising that there will be some casualties.

But in the final analysis, this is just an exercise after all. The red and black chess players should aim to defeat the opponent, rather than deliberately attacking the opponent's vital points and causing casualties.

Just like how Ye Ziqi had dealt with several red chess soldiers before, he only suffered minor injuries and quickly subdued them.

This is because subconsciously, he always felt that these first-guard soldiers would also be his comrades in fighting against horse thieves in the future, and were not suitable to deal too heavy a blow.

Even if there is death on the chess field, it is usually because one of the players made a mistake during the game, resulting in excessive blood loss at the wound and death from serious injuries.

But recalling the beginning of martial arts chess, the archer who stabbed his neck with a knife, the pawn who pointed his gun at his heart, the elephant soldiers, and the cavalry - all came directly towards his vitals!

A chill came from the bottom of his heart.

"What's going on?" Ye Ziqi roared.

"How do I know? But -" the big-eyed demon said in a low voice: "This reminds me of your prophecy of 'destined to commit peach blossoms'. Maybe this battle is unlucky. You'd better pretend to be dead now and wait for the black eye."

If you lose the chess game, someone will carry you down."

"Fate..." Ye Ziqi sighed lowly, but did not close his eyes. Instead, he suddenly said: "Old demon leader, listen."

"Huh?" The old demon head expanded his hearing and suddenly heard a vibration that sounded like an earthquake.

No, it's not as if, the earth is really shaking.
