Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 650

Before Yun Shang could reply, Lord Hua Guo said coldly, "An animal is an animal. After all, it's hard to tame the wild, and it's more obstinate to be used as a plaything." After saying that, he walked slowly to the body of the snow fox, bent down and picked the snow fox up. Then he turned his head to look at Yun Shang. "It is useful to make a cloak, and it can still block the wind and snow."

Lord Hua Guo's words were not nice at all. Yun Shang noticed that the seventh prince clenched his hands in his sleeves. But he dared not lose his temper. The only thing he could do was to clench his fists and keep coughing.

Hua Yutong was embarrassed. She just stood quietly behind the seventh prince with her head down. It was hard to figure out what she was thinking.

Lord Hua Guo threw the snow fox to the servant standing aside and ordered, "take it away and deal with it." Then he raised his head and said to Yun Shang: "I haven't played chess with you for a long time. Let's go to the study to kill some time."

After saying that, his sight fell on the seventh prince again. He curled his lips coldly and said, "Seventh prince, if you don't mind my poor chess skills, I can play with you as well. Since Yutong seldom corned back, you'd better have a chat with you aunt."

Yun Shang was surprised and had no idea why Lord Hua Guo made such an arrangement, but she had to follow him. Since Lord Hua Guo said so, the seventh Prince and Hua Yutong had to follow his arrangement.

When they entered the study, Yun Shang saw a chessboard. There was still an incomplete chess game on it. Lord Hua Guo had already sat down beside the chessboard. He raised his head and said to them, "this is the chess game someone played with me a few days ago. The game wasn't finished yet. Take a look. Who wants to finish the game with me?"

Yun Shang and the seventh prince turned to look at the chessboard. Yun Shang was a little surprised as she examined the chessboard carefully. There was a fierce intention hidden in the game. Lord Hua Guo was holding the black pieces, which was neck and neck with the white pieces, but the black pieces had a better advantage.

What surprised Yun Shang the most was that although the white pieces didn't seem to have much advantages at the moment, it had hidden ways in several places. It should be turned over in no time.

The way the white pieces was playing was the style of Luo Qingyan. Yun Shang thought to herself and smiled. "The white piece is in low spirits now. I'm not good at playing. I'm afraid I can't save it. Please let the seventh prince do it."

Yun Shang observed the confidence and pride in the seventh prince, and she was sure that the seventh prince had found something on the chessboard.

The seventh prince didn't refuse, and stepped aside to take a seat. The servant had brought the teapot here, and Yun Shang told Qian Zhuo to serve tea for them.

After the tea was served, Qian Zhuo fetched a chair for Yun Shang. Yun Shang took the teacup and sat down somewhere far from the chessboard, watching the fight from a distance.

The black piece had defeated the white piece with irresistible force, almost crushing the white piece of the seventh prince into a rout. Yun Shang looked at the moves of the seventh prince. When the white piece was almost completely annihilated, he also used two pieces of white to survive on the chessboard.

Lord Hua Guo's hand paused, and he smiled. "This is an excellent move."

However, he succeeded only twice. Soon later, black pieces made a concession and ate up all the white pieces.

Yun Shang lowered her head and took a sip of tea. A faint smile appeared on the corners of her mouth. No matter when, the seventh prince seemed not to forget his acting. He always pretended to be in poor health. He even has to hide his real strength in a chess game. And he was afraid of being doubted so much and calculated step by step.

Lord Hua Guo kneaded the black piece and shook his head. "Your chess skill is not bad, but not very good either. It's not interesting." Then he turned to Yun Shang, "let's play a game."
