Chapter 379 - 389: Not a Single Piece Left
From the moment Gu Youyou made her first move, he didn’t have a mocking smile, nor did he look down on her in the slightest. Even now, his expression wasn’t unpleasant, just like a truly qualified spectator of the game.
He was only responsible for watching, whether someone won or lost had nothing to do with him.
Yue Ruxue’s expression stiffened, and she immediately mounted another horse on the opposite side. With her next move, she planned to bring out her chariot, also aiming to control half of her opponent’s territory with a single piece.
But where in the world was such a good thing possible? Gu Youyou had long placed a cannon across the board, just waiting for her horse to deliver itself as a cannon platform. With this move, her horse couldn’t budge, and the chariot dared not advance. If the chariot moved, her king would be forced out of the palace.
In this way, the other half of the territory was also controlled.
On New Year’s Eve, even a room with a heated kang could be bitterly cold, yet sweat beaded on Yue Ruxue’s face.
Zijin was standing right beside her. Losing to this country girl in front of him, how could she ever face him again?
"You, your despicable way of playing, how about you have a real fight with me?" Yue Ruxue said angrily.
