Chapter 379: Chapter 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.

Gu Youyou laughed lightly, and gave her four words, "All’s fair in war!"

If you don’t even understand that all’s fair in war, do you still dare to call yourself a warrior’s descendant, do you still dare to go into battle?

You might as well stay at home and embroider.

Yue Ruxue was so angry, she launched her chariot without a care. Once the chariot was in play, it could form a fierce offensive with the double cannons. So what if the other pieces didn’t move, they were all yours to take.

Gu Youyou naturally didn’t hold back and went straight to capture a minister. Only then did Yue Ruxue realize that the situation was not as simple as forcing the king out of the palace. There was another chariot waiting on the other side, and her king couldn’t get out at all. Reluctantly, she had to move a guard.

But as she moved it around, she found that her chariot was still unable to get out, because Gu Youyou never gave her a chance to move her chariot. She was so busy defending with her horses, cannons, and chariots that she was overwhelmed until she ran out of pieces.

...Lose so utterly?

By the end, not a single one of her own pieces remained on the board? All were Gu Youyou’s.

This wasn’t just winning a game, it was clear humiliation.

Yue Ruxue, who had been eager to humiliate Gu Youyou, suddenly cried. She had never lost so miserably before in her life.

Even if her elder brother wanted to win her game, he certainly wouldn’t dare to make her lose so miserably, not leaving a single piece behind.

Who in this world dared to beat her without leaving a single piece behind?

The people in the room fell silent; a young girl helped the crying Yue Ruxue to one side, and the old Madam sternly said to her, "Axue, victory and defeat are common in military affairs. It’s just a game of chess, why cry?"

She herself was naturally displeased, not only by the loss but also by the complete consumption of all the opponent’s pieces, which was quite unsightly.

Jin Zijin found it amusing, thinking to himself: She really is unforgiving by nature.

Marquess laughed heartily, his laughter immediately breaking the awkwardness in the room.

"Axue is spoiled; indeed, she needed someone to temper her edge. Otherwise, she would forever remain a frog in a well, never knowing the principle that there are skies beyond skies and people beyond people."

Looking at Gu Youyou again, with an expression full of admiration, he said, "Doctor Gu moves in the game are intricate and profound, evidently a remarkable player. Another day, I would like to seek some advice from Doctor Gu."

Gu Youyou, sincerely apprehensive, bowed repeatedly, saying, "It is Youyou’s fortune to receive guidance from the Marquess, how can I possibly deserve the word ’advice’?"

Marquess laughed out loud again, then turned his head to look at the other young ladies, saying, "Ashuang, none of you are a match for Doctor Gu. I think we should stop the game here. Someone, bring the writing materials."
