911 Chapter 911-drawing chess pieces
The Xing Nan Kingdom was located to the North of the great Zhou Dynasty. There was a large grassland there, and the warhorses they raised were much better than those of the great Zhou Dynasty.
The great Zhou would buy horses from Xing Nan, which was why the great Zhou had tolerated them until now.
This time, Prince Xing Nan and his young master went to great Zhou to sell their horses.
Prince Xing Nan took out a chessboard, walked to the middle of the hall, and introduced, ” “There are a total of 30 pieces on the board. It’s different from go. The rule is that the two of them have to draw the pieces in order. One, two, and four pieces can be drawn at a time. The little girl from the top scholar’s family, do you understand?”
Gu Xin nodded. Best of three, ten warhorses!”
The little person in her heart was dancing. Her sister often played this game with them. She rarely lost. She liked numbers, so she could always make the other party lose.
She wasn’t afraid at all. She was smart, and her sister had taught her how to do it.
It all depended on calculation. No matter who took first place, after the opponent took the first bullet, they would start to calculate the outcome of the opponent taking one, two, and four after they took one. In other words, they had to calculate the situation of each subsequent step.
Gu Xin did not even pause for such a simple calculation.
The people of the great Zhou had never played this before. The Emperor had people carry a large Go board over to demonstrate it for the people present. He also had people bring a small table to the middle of the hall.
Prince Xing Nan was tall and strong, and Gu Xin’s height reached his waist. He looked at Gu Xin angrily.
Gu Xin maintained her smile and placed her hands behind her back.
Her father had said that when playing chess with others, she could not lose her momentum.
She extended her hand and asked Prince xingnan to sit down first.
Prince Xing Nan glared at Gu Xin and sat down cross-legged.
Gu Xin was sitting on her knees with her back straight.
When the big chessboard was set up, the Emperor signaled eunuch Fu to announce the start of the game.
Gu Xin made a ” please ” gesture. The prince of Xing Nan would not be polite. In Xing Nan, men and women were equal. He would not give in just because you were a girl!
Moreover, this brat had actually made him lose eleven horses. Although there was still a large group of horses in his family’s horse farm, it was still embarrassing to lose.
Prince Xing Nan took four first, Gu Xin took one, Prince Xing Nan took another, and Gu Xin took four. Prince Xing Nan paused for a moment, thought for a while, and took two more.
After a few rounds, it was Prince Xing Nan’s turn. There were only four pills left on the table and he couldn’t take them all at once. However, no matter if he took one or two, Gu Xin would definitely have one left for him.
The people of the great Zhou understood that Prince xingnan had lost. Then they began to think about which step Prince xingnan had taken more or less.
Gu Xin won the first round.
Prince Xing Nan let Gu Xin win the second round.
Gu Xin only took one, then Prince Xing Nan made his move. In the end, there were only four left.
The people of great Zhou and xingnan were stunned.
This game must have been invented by Xing Nan. However, Prince Xing Nan was obviously thinking about every move, while the daughter of the top scorer’s family took a chess piece without hesitation, as if she had no thoughts at all.
Did she guess how many pills he would take while Prince xingnan was thinking?
What they didn’t know was that after Prince Xing Nan made his first move, Gu Xin had already planned out how much Prince Xing Nan would take for each step and how she would take it, and how she would make her opponent lose.
Two wins out of three. Gu Xin won two rounds, so the third round was unnecessary.
