After eavesdropping on my thoughts, my whole family changed their fate

The guards who drew their swords were not from the Jin family, but from the emperor's men, so they were not afraid of them.

The emperor personally issued an order, asking them to protect Miss Jin at all costs, and to execute her first and report later if necessary.

The guard who drew the sword had a blank expression on his face. He thrust the sword hard, and blood immediately oozed from the neck of the arrogant man.

He was so scared that he took several steps back, his calves trembling, and he almost peed on the spot. He didn't dare to provoke them again.

Seeing this, Jin Yuanyuan curled her lips in disdain.

[Water has a source, trees have roots, there is a reason why I scold you, but you are so timid and dare to follow others?! Tsk tsk tsk, you don't know your own limitations.]

Gu An was delighted to see Gu Xingruo and the others were so scared that they dared not step forward to provoke them.

He now has a feeling that he can win easily by following Boss Yuanyuan.

He carried his sister to a deserted passage inside.

Jin Yuanyuan took out the copper leaf that Mr. Gu had given her and showed it to the gatekeeper.

Seeing that it was the highest pass of their International Chess, the man bowed his head respectfully, not daring to stare at the little man who was not even as tall as his waist.

He respectfully led the two to the rest room which was only accessible to insiders.

Gu Xingruo stood on tiptoe and looked over there, "Why are they going over there? No one goes on that road."

The path to enter the competition venue is on the right, but Jin Yuanyuan and the others took the left path where no one else goes.

The fellow disciples who followed him sneered.

“Maybe they are afraid to go to the right and not get in without a competition token.”

"The guards over there must have seen that there were so many of them that they didn't dare to stop them, so they let them in. Isn't the system of Wan Guo Qi the strictest? How come there are still servants who bully the weak and fear the strong?! It's really unlucky."

"The forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, let's ignore them, Junior Sister Gu, go in quickly, it will be late soon."

They took the competition tokens and showed them to the people guarding the door.

After entering, several people sat down in the stands where the contestants were resting.

Next to them sat a long row of people, all of whom were chess players from various countries, preparing for the competition.

Entering the separate rest room, Jin Yuanyuan slumped in the chair, eating a peach.

Gu Xu frowned, "Yuanyuan, don't eat anymore. If you have a stomachache during the competition, you will have to go to the toilet."

"Brother, just one, just eat one and don't eat it anymore, please." Jin Yuanyuan looked at him with pleading eyes.

Gu Xu, who was always strict, hesitated for a while when faced with his sister's coquettishness, but finally gave in and had to compromise.

Who can help him have such a cute and spoiled sister? I can only spoil her.

Gu An sat aside, swinging her little feet.

"Brother, where is the progress? Has the competition started?"

Gu Xu looked at the competition stage, "It's time to start. We are preparing for the first round."

The view in their rest room is particularly good and everything can be seen very clearly, but the people below cannot see them clearly.

The competition lasted for a very long time. There were too many and diverse masters from various countries. Chess is a game that tests endurance and brainpower, and is very time-consuming, so the competition was delayed for several days.

Jin Yuanyuan was enjoying the show very much on the first day, and complained to her two brothers about how bad their downloads were and where she would be if they were her brothers.

The three siblings would still discuss it on the first day, but on the second, third, and fourth day...they were so bored that they just played Gobang.

On the fifth day, Gu An drew grids on the ground. Jin Yuanyuan walked crookedly, played hopscotch, kicked pockets, and played with spinning tops, feeling extremely relaxed.

While they were relaxing, talking and laughing, the people competing below were trembling with fear, not daring to reveal any mistakes, and their nerves were extremely tense.

The players waiting in the stands watched the two players' duel on the large chessboard that was updated in real time, and the sound of discussion was endless.

It rained for five days, and the emperor sat there in silence for five days.

He couldn't get up and move around like Jin Yuanyuan and the others, so he could only sit there solemnly.

At this moment, he looked hopeless.

He held the teacup, counting the tea leaves in it with lifeless eyes, looking extremely bored.

I kept complaining in my mind.

Being an emperor is not an easy job. He has to attend court in the morning and deal with ministers. After court, he has to sit here like a puppet all day long. At night, he has to deal with concubines in the bedroom.

Why is his life so busy...

"Father, Father! It's Gu Xingruo's turn." The prince reminded the emperor in a low voice that the next person to compete would be Gu Xingruo.

Ever since Zhao Junlin learned at Gu Xu's wedding banquet that Zhao Lingzhou and Gu Xingruo were having an affair, he has been paying special attention to their movements.

I even gossiped about this matter to the emperor.

When the emperor heard his son's words, his eyes lit up instantly.

He whispered, "Great, great, finally there's something fun to watch."

He glanced at the Third Prince, and sure enough, his sitting posture was different from before.

Zhao Lingzhou sat up straight at this time, looking at Gu Xingruo who was competing on the stage with some nervousness.

The brothers who were with Gu Xingruo had already lost everything, and she was the next one to go on stage.

She had been preparing for so many years and was quite capable. Gu Xingruo played five or six games with chess players from other countries, and she won every time.

Jin Yuanyuan saw it and was not surprised at all.

[As expected, after all, she is the heroine and the world revolves around her. ]

After winning several games in a row, Gu Xingruo was full of confidence and felt that she would definitely get the first place.

She remembered that in the book, she was the winner in the end, and was later valued by the emperor and promised to the third prince.

Winning one game after another gave her confidence, but just when she thought she could make it to the end, she was defeated by a woman from the Western Regions.

The woman from the Western Regions covered her face with a veil and looked at her haughtily.

"I won. To use the words of your Central Plains, I give in."

This woman from the Western Regions is called Liyada, and she is the best chess player in their country.

Although she lost to Mr. Gu in last year's competition, she did not get discouraged and visited various countries to learn their chess skills. This year she is determined to win and is confident that she can beat Mr. Gu.

Gu Xingruo looked at the chessboard where she lost, unwilling to believe it.

"How could this happen! I was obviously going to win! How could I lose?!"

She can't lose. If she loses, she won't be able to marry the third prince!

"No! I underestimated my opponent in this round. Let's play another round." Gu Xingruo stood up in a panic and spoke to Liyada in a commanding tone.

Liyada raised her chin, her eyes seemed to speak with deep solemnity, and the words she spoke were calm but powerful.

"Do you want to ignore the rules of the game? Is this how a big country bullies a small, subordinate country like us? You refuse to admit defeat and want another round?! What? Only if you win can you be considered as not underestimating the enemy?"

These words were full of irony, and made Gu Xingruo blush.

But for the third prince, she can give up this face.

"Rules are made by people, so they can be changed. I don't care. Let's play another round. I will definitely beat you this time!"
