Chapter 179 The Lost Array
How clever and wise.
When the number one chess player in the world saw this scene, he was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth for a long time. He had played so many games with Jiang Shu that he knew Jiang Shu's style very well.
How could he suddenly change his style of play? This is not his level!
He must have cheated! The first chess player wanted to lash out, but Xuanyuan Che stopped him: "Come back!"
Lose the game but don’t lose yourself!
The first chess player was indignant. He glared at Jiang Shu, then looked at the people around him who were praising Jiang Shu. Unwillingly, he returned to Xuanyuan Che and said to him, "This is not something he can do. They..."
Before the chess player could finish his words, he was scared away by Xuanyuan Che's look. The process didn't seem to be very important, as the outcome was already decided.
The chess player was very unconvinced. He had defeated many famous chess players in the world. How could he possibly tie with a green boy? He was not convinced!
If it weren't for Emperor Che's face today, he would have turned Fengli Kingdom upside down.
The game that was bound to be lost turned into a draw just because of the sudden sound. Jiang Shu was extremely excited.
He could feel that his opponent's chess skills were very powerful, and his brilliant move would spread quickly after today, and he would become famous.
The people of Fengli Country, who had originally accepted defeat, saw Jiang Shu's last move shine. Even though it was a draw, they all praised Jiang Shu highly.
After Guan Li announced that the first round was a tie, he drew the second piece of paper at the signal of Emperor Xing'an.
They didn't lose the first game and ended up in a tie, which was the best result for Fengli Country.
Chu Xuan became much calmer in the face of such occasions. After all, he was a prince and he understood some rules.
Guan Li pulled out a piece of paper and opened it in front of everyone. The word "Formation" was written on it.
Deploying troops is a common tactic on the battlefield. When the paper came out, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Originally, Emperor Xing'an only thought that the six arts were required for the competition, so this paper was not written by Emperor Xing'an.
The font is also different. It is completely different from the font of the first note. This note was written by Xuanyuan Kingdom. It seems that Xuanyuan Kingdom did not pose any difficult problems.
There are many generals in Fengli Kingdom who are capable of deploying troops, but this competition has been given to King Rui. King Rui has also been training in the Northern Wilderness for so long, and everyone thinks that he should be the one to win.
Emperor Xing'an was not in a hurry either. He sat on the high platform as if it was none of his business. He also had his own selfish motives for this competition. He would not speak up and could not mobilize others, so his son would have to take the stage himself.
On the Xuanyuan Kingdom side, Fu Yiming slowly walked onto the stage. All the officials were surprised to see that it was Fu Yiming who came up to the stage. They had only heard that Fu Jie knew witchcraft, but the apprentice he taught actually knew military law.
Fu Yiming ignored everyone's gazes and took out a few stones from his arms and placed them in different positions on the stage, leaving everyone confused.
Just as Feng Chenyi was about to move, Zhai Yun stopped him: "This doesn't seem like a military strategy. So many people are watching and waiting for you to make a move. I'll go and take a look first."
Given Feng Chenyi's current status, it was indeed inappropriate for him to reveal his cards too early. Feng Chenyi sat down, straightened his clothes, and instructed Zhai Yun: "Don't worry, this is a maze array. Once you step into it, you will lose your way."
"Don't worry, Brother Yi." Zhai Yun comforted.
If it were in the past, Feng Chenyi would definitely be worried, but now Zhai Yun no longer needs to stand behind him, and only when he is outside can he ensure Zhai Yun's safety inside.
Make sure others don't tamper with it.
Seeing that it was Zhai Yun who appeared, Emperor Xing'an was a little disappointed, but Xuanyuan Che's eyes lit up slightly. She was indeed protecting Prince Rui.
Zhai Yun didn't pay attention to the looks of the people in the audience. She just carefully raised and lowered her feet before going up the stairs. She had seen many marching formations, but this was the first time she had seen one that could make people lose their way.
Just as Zhai Yun was about to step into the formation, Feng Chenyi slowly stood up and asked, "How do we determine the winner?"
Fu Yiming stood outside the formation, his hands behind his back as he looked at Feng Chenyi. He said coldly, "Within one incense stick, as long as he walks out of this maze, the Xuanyuan Nation will admit defeat."
Zhai Yun looked back at Feng Chenyi, and Feng Chenyi was also looking at Zhai Yun, his eyes seemed to tell Zhai Yun to be careful.
Zhai Yun nodded and stepped into the formation.
A voice resembling Chu Xuan's came from behind: "Such a magical formation, this prince also wants to see it."
Zhai Yun could no longer hear the sounds that followed. This formation completely blocked out the sounds from the outside world. Stepping into the formation, Zhai Yun felt like she had stepped into another world, a world full of thorns.
The fog was so thick that I couldn't see where I was coming from or where I was going.
There was only a narrow gap in the thorns, and no other way.
Zhai Yun walked sideways into the thorny path. If she was not careful, she would be stabbed. She walked sideways in the thorny path for a long time, and there were several scratches on her exposed skin.
The road was straight but had no end. Zhai Yun realized that she could not continue walking like this. She only had time of one stick of incense.
Since this road has no end, it means she is not only lost, but also trapped in an illusion. She must find a way to break the illusion.
Zhai Yun closed her eyes and used her senses to feel the narrow gap. She felt a slight chill on her body, which came from all directions and was surrounded by thorns.
Zhai Yun suddenly realized that she was just trapped in the gap of the thorns. There was another world outside the thorns, and she needed to break through these thorns.
Zhai Yun drew out the sword in her hand, exerted her internal force and swung the sword towards the thorn bush. A gap was created in the thorn bush, and Zhai Yun walked through the gap.
The thorn wall was very thick. She walked more than ten steps before she reached a bright place. The thorn bushes behind her disappeared out of thin air, and she was in a grove of tall trees, which looked a bit like the forest at the water source of Wind Chime City.
But there is white fog here, and the view ahead is limited.
Zhai Yun vaguely heard a sound. After holding her breath and listening attentively for a long time, she vaguely heard Chu Xuan's voice. He was calling her name.
Zhai Yun listened to the direction of the sound and slowly walked over.
Although she knew that getting out of the maze was the most important thing at the moment, once she got out and the maze was removed, Chu Xuan would be safe.
But Chu Xuan's frightened voice that sounded like he was about to cry made Zhai Yun unable to bear to leave him.
The closer they got to that direction, the clearer Chu Xuan's voice became, until Zhai Yun saw a blurry figure.
The figure had his back to Zhai Yun and was shouting her name loudly. He was dressed in tattered clothes and his exposed skin was covered with scratches.
It seems that his experience is the same as mine.
Zhai Yun knocked on Chu Xuan, who was still shouting for her. Chu Xuan was so scared that he ran away a few meters away, muttering: "Get out of here! You dare to hurt this prince? I don't want to live anymore!"
Chu Xuan was possessed by a demon. Everything was foggy and misty. From Chu Xuan's perspective,
