The Great Tang Dynasty: The Celestial Master Descends the Mountain, Starts by Being Deceived into Ma

"Does the girl's family know she's been released?"

"Hmm?" The girl surnamed Li glared at Lu Jinghe and said, "What's it to you? It's your turn, hurry up and make your move."

"Wasn't it downloading really fast just now? Keep going, why are you downloading so slowly?"

Lu Jinghe smiled and said, "You don't think you can beat me just because I play faster, do you?"

Lu Jinghe found this girl quite interesting. A princess, coming to play chess with him, and with some unknown purpose. Tsk tsk tsk.

Lu Jinghe wasn't in a hurry. He casually placed a piece, not playing his best move like he had when he played against the old man. He held back a few moves and let the opponent have their way.

Although he could use the Feng Hou Qi Men method to figure out what the princess wanted to do, there was no need for that. Many things are only meaningful if you experience them yourself.

What's the point of calculating every day? I'll calculate my own death another day.

Thinking of the calculation, Lu Jinghe remembered that person from before, Li Chunfeng.

He was quite a famous person in the Tang Dynasty.

Li Chunfeng also played chess with Lu Jinghe. He realized that Lu Jinghe was playing chess based on divination, which he found absurd, so he played a game with him.

As a result, Lu Jinghe beat them so badly they lost their bearings. After all, Feng Hou Qi Men is known for its fast and accurate calculations.

Later, Li Chunfeng refused to accept this, and the two argued for a long time. After he paid the price of a house, he started playing Go with Lu Jinghe.

He believed he could beat Lu Jinghe in Go.

The result was an even more crushing defeat.

Lu Jinghe couldn't help but wonder if Li Chunfeng was behind this princess's chess game with him.

"May I ask what your relationship is with the Grand Historian Li Chunfeng?"

"It's nothing, just play your game, why are you talking so much!"

Miss Li was already annoyed because she couldn't understand the game, and Lu Jinghe kept asking her all sorts of irrelevant questions.

"Just ask, why are you angry, young lady?" Lu Jinghe casually placed a piece.

Miss Li was overjoyed. She understood. She understood this move, and it gave her an opportunity!

"Watch me!"

Miss Li confidently ate Lu Jinghe's car and raised an eyebrow at him.

As if they were about to win.

Lu Jinghe didn't immediately make a move. Instead, he propped his head up and looked at the chessboard, then suddenly asked, "Are you acquainted with Li Chunfeng, young lady?"

"Why do you ask that?" In a good mood, Miss Li replied to Lu Jinghe, "We're not familiar with each other."

"That's good. I thought you were sent by that scoundrel Li Chunfeng to harm me."

After Lu Jinghe finished speaking, he placed a piece, erasing Miss Li's advantage and restoring the game to a draw.

This Miss Li must have come here after listening to Li Chunfeng's nonsense. Lu Jinghe wanted to laugh. What was Li Chunfeng up to?

Losing him a house wasn't enough; they also planned to give him Li Er's daughter in return.

What are you laughing at?

"I wonder if something is troubling you, young lady?"

"What?" Miss Li was startled. This guy counted her as a friend? She quickly calmed herself down, making sure he didn't realize it.

He calmly replied, "What could be on my mind?"

Li Chunfeng had told her that when she talked to Lu Jinghe again, she must not let him divine her fate, otherwise she would be infamous for eternity, just as Li Chunfeng had predicted.

Gao Yang didn't know how Li Chunfeng had calculated it, nor did he understand why he would be infamous for eternity; in any case, it was his own calamity.

It's best to believe what the Grand Astrologer says.

Li Chunfeng sent Gao Yang to find Lu Jinghe, saying that as long as they had a normal conversation, played chess, and finally bet themselves on Lu Jinghe, everything would be fine.

All their tribulations will disappear, and they may even be remembered in history.

But the only condition is that Lu Jinghe cannot be allowed to divine her fate, and he cannot know which princess she is; he must guess for himself.

Gao Yang was very flustered at this moment, fearing that Lu Jinghe had divined his identity and found out who he was.

Li Chunfeng said that once Lu Jinghe knew who he was, he would never pay any attention to him.

Gao Yang was completely bewildered when he heard this. What exactly had he done according to their divination?

At this moment, Lu Jinghe tapped on the table, attracting the attention of Gao Yang, who was seemingly watching the game but was actually lost in thought.

"Is the young lady a princess? If I'm not mistaken, His Majesty is currently considering marrying you to the son of a duke."

Gao Yang was startled. Was this calculated or guessed?

Her father and mother had mentioned this matter to her, but a decision had not yet been made.

How did he know?

"Did you calculate it or just guess?"

"It's just a guess, of course. I don't like fortune telling."

Lu Jinghe answered quite naturally that he did not like fortune telling, or more accurately, he did not like fortune telling about people.

He prefers to do things like chess.

"How did you guess?"

Gao Yang placed a piece and realized that he was about to lose without even realizing it, even though they were evenly matched just a moment ago.

"The young lady's surname is Li, and she is so beautiful..."

Gao Yang's face, hidden beneath her veil, was slightly flushed. How could she directly compliment someone's beauty? She was rather shy.

"If I'm not mistaken, you must be Princess Chang Le?"

Gao Yang: "???"

What does this have to do with Sister Chang Le?

That damn Taoist priest must be out of his mind!

Gao Yang cursed Lu Jinghe 12138 times in his heart, and said, "Is it that important?"

I'm sorry, Chang Le, I had my sister impersonate you for a while. I'll make it up to you later!

Gao Yang knew that she had passed the test. The Taoist priest hadn't counted her; he knew her identity as a princess, but he didn't know that she was Gao Yang.

As long as I bet myself on him again, my future is secure, and I no longer need to worry about being remembered with infamy.

"Ha, that's true, it's not that important." Lu Jinghe nodded in agreement, saying, "To me, you are just yourself, not some princess, so there's no need for a marriage alliance."

When he first transmigrated, he also thought about marrying the princess, after all, he had transmigrated to the Tang Dynasty.

Can someone be called a time traveler if they don't marry Chang Le?

However, Lu Jinghe was a bit lazy and gave up because he found it troublesome.

However, since Li Chunfeng had brought Chang Le to him, there was no reason not to accept it.

Besides, with such good looks, wouldn't it be a waste for her to marry Changsun Chong?

Now that the princess has found him and is unhappy with the marriage, how could he not take action? Impossible!

From then on, he became the imperial son-in-law of the Tang Dynasty, a title he bestowed upon himself.

If Li Er disagrees, he will use the Five Thunderbolts to cleave his Taiji Palace.

"Princess, you have lost."

Lu Jinghe placed his piece and said calmly.

Gao Yang raised an eyebrow; everything was proceeding according to plan.

Very good. We can play one game of chess normally and then return to the palace to tell my father that he has issued a decree to grant us the marriage.

"One more plate, please!"

"Princess, why don't you return to the palace? It's getting late."

"I'll play one more game. I don't want to go back. I don't want to marry that man!"

Gao Yang wondered to herself, "Is this some kind of reverse psychology tactic?" Thinking this, she slammed five coins onto the chessboard.

"But it is indeed too late, and I am not short of money."

"Then what do you lack?" Gao Yang asked, initially puzzled, then as if struck by a sudden inspiration, "Is Young Master Lu willing to marry?"

"No." Lu Jinghe shook his head, but in his heart he thought, "Isn't this a bit too fast?"

He just wanted to get closer to her; he needed to take it slow.

But as soon as he waved it, it felt like the wall was about to collapse.

"What do you think of me, Taoist priest? How about I bet you a game of chess?"

Gao Yang said the most crucial sentence, and saw that Lu Jinghe showed no strange behavior other than surprise.

Li Chunfeng was right after all; this person is different from normal people.

I can accept such outrageous remarks.

"Okay, I'll take the bet."

"Sure, but what's your stake? It's not still just one string of cash, is it?"

"If I lose, I will heal Her Highness's illness. I can cure any illness."

Lu Jinghe considered it carefully before revealing the bet. If he remembered correctly, Chang Le seemed to have asthma.

"it is good."

"Now that the bet has been made, will the Taoist priest break his promise?"

"impossible."

What if you lie to me?

"Struck by lightning!"

"it is good."

Gao Yang smiled; the matter was settled.

Breaking the bet will bring divine retribution; once that's said, it's a sure thing.

We can return to the palace soon to obtain the imperial decree.
