In the first family residence, when Jiang Shing and his wife arrived, they immediately went to their room to rest because they were quite tired of all the unexpected events that occurred during the banquet.
But not with Jiang Chen, he instead chose to sit on the front porch of the sister's room with a well-built body and a tense face.
Jinying and Kyiv who were about to approach and ask paused their intentions when they saw the face of the vice general Jiang shing darken.
“ Miss...”, said Lin with a worried highlight.
“ You guys go rest first, brother let me handle..”, push Jiang Xia Yan smooth.
The four personal servants immediately withdrew. If they have received such an order, they no longer dare to argue like before – before.
Moreover, Lin and Chyou who had been present at the party that took place inside the palace certainly knew very well what major events were happening there.
For that, tonight they will not disturb the important talks of the brothers who will certainly discuss all the things that happened in the palace tonight.
“ Oldest brother...”, greet Jiang Xia Yan warmly.
“ Little Sister...”, Jiang Chen's daydream instantly froze as soon as a soft voice hit his sense of hearing.
“ Why don't you take a break...”
“ Isn't tonight so tiring... ”, said Jiang Xia Yan attentively.
“ I will not be able to sleep tonight until everything is clear..”, said Jiang Chen anxiously.
Jiang Xia Yan knew very well what was currently stirring his brother's mind. Relaxed, he began to take out a chess piece and put it on the table.
“ Brother...., play chess with me now..”, said Jiang Xia Yan calmly.
“ Sister..., it's been too late..”, said Jiang Chen objected.
Jiang Xia Yang did not care about the tone of protest held by his brother. Tonight he will communicate with the handsome young man before him through a war chess game to make it easier to understand.
“ These two teams will face each other..”.
“ This is my army...”.
“ And this is your army...”, said Jiang Xia Yan while giving the black part to the brother while he had arranged the white part of his on the piece.
Seeing chess to be played was war chess, as the deputy general of course Jiang Chen felt very interested.
Moreover, what invited him to play was the younger brother who had never known he could play chess, let alone war chess.
“ Alright..I want to see what other surprises you will show me tonight, deck...”, inner Jaing Chen is excited.
The white and black pieces that fall in chess are – if it is a real battlefield where the player is the command of the war.
Jiang Xia Yan was given the opportunity to play first. He also showed slow movements but the steps he took were very smooth.
In contrast to Jiang Chen who had started from the beginning using sharp steps yet looked extremely gentle and meticulous.
The movement of Jiang Chen's black pawns looked pressing and forcing but it did not make Jiang Xia Yan silent, the white pawn continued to move according to his rhythm slowly and unhurriedly – gesa.
Although at first glance the pawn played by the younger brother would lose, but once Jiang Chen's black pawn wanted to devour it, Jiang Xia Yan managed to sneakily escape.
It was finished with an incense stick, but not a single black and white piece was missing from the chessboard they were playing.
But, one could clearly see that Jiang Chen's black pawn occupied a key position and the white pawn was forced to move in an angle.
If this continued, then it was certain that Jiang Chen's black pawn could bite one by one the white pawns of Jiang Xia Yan for sure.
“ It seems, little brother is not too experienced..”, inner Jiang Chen was happy when he saw victory in front of his eyes.
Seeing the smile of the elder brother, Jiang Xia Yan immediately moved quickly and started to turn things around.
Jiang Chen was very surprised by all the steps taken by the younger brother who kept forcing his black pawn into a corner.
Furthermore, Jiang Xia Yan carried out continuous and unbearable attacks again. His movements were like a tornado that instantly devoured the black pawns in one round.
In less than a few minutes after Jiang Chen sensed that he was about to gain victory, the black pieces of pawn gradually – gradually began to disappear from the board replaced with white pieces entirely.
“ You lost brother...”, Jiang Xia Yan smiled widely as one last black pawn disappeared from the chessboard.
“ Alright..I admit defeat..”, said Jiang Chen bitterly.
He did not expect at all, young general, the great vice general Jiang Shing in battle was defeated to the point of being left by a merciless little girl would certainly be the most humiliating joke if anyone knew about it.
Not only was he shocked to be defeated by his younger brother, Jiang Chen was surprised after understanding the entire game.
What the younger brother played was not a way of controlling the opponent but rather an understanding of the overall war situation.
Steps that were initially weak and soft arrived – arrived to be sharp and deadly as if – from the beginning, this game is already in his grasp.
“ So, what can brother deduce from the game we just did ?...”, Jiang Xia Yan asked with a full probing gaze.
“ This movement...”.
“ Ahhh...”, said Jiang Chen with an understanding face.
During this time in dealing with the second family, Jiang Xia Yan made gentle moves and endured not because he wanted to let go of them just like that but rather waited for an opportunity.
On the occasion that it existed, he would use the traps they had set up to destroy themselves and come out victorious.
Like what happened tonight, Jiang Xia Yan seemed to hold on and not say anything to his parents, making Qianyi feel that his nephew was still the same as before, timid and stupid so he dared to go further.
And who would have guessed if this time the traps and traps he made returned to himself and the princess so that they were cornered and could not retreat again.
“ There are many paths to reach the destination..”
“ And not always a hard and sharp road suitable for us to play..”.
“ However, the white road also can not always guarantee victory..”.
“ And if it happens...”.
“ Then it is the dark path that we must choose...”, said Jiang Xia Yan calmly.
The calm demeanor displayed by Jiang Xia Yan amazed Jiang Chen let alone the charm and beautiful face of the younger sister under the dim candle that lit up made her look like a goddess.
The bright white skin shone like a goddess descending from heaven, but the sharp glare coming out of her eyes looked like a grim reaper who would take the lives of anyone who dared to block her steps.
“ Beauty and cruelty wrapped into one is indeed truly terrible..”, Jiang Chen's inner self shuddered in horror.
During his time as a young general in war, this young man had never felt this kind of fear and discomfort.
But, as soon as he looked at the face of the sister who looked calm and stunning precisely he felt a deep fear until the bones of – bones.
“ If so, what can brother help ?...”, Jiang Chen said with a probing look.
Jiang Chen felt that if his younger brother invited him to play chess tonight, he certainly had a definite purpose.
Seeing her brother quite understood what she wanted to convey without him having to say much, Jiang Xia Yan immediately said his true purpose.
“ I need money in sufficient quantity..”.
“ Can gifts given from the palace be made money ?...”, said Jiang Xia yan to the point.
Jiang Chen looked a little surprised by the highness of the younger brother who asked him for a lot of cash.
“ For what ?...”, that's what he has in mind now.
But because he already believed in the younger brother, Jiang Chen agreed to the request and promised to take him tomorrow morning.
