This chess match would be settled by Song Que.

The game of chess was complicated, but there was only the single chess piece that was left to solve the problem. Song Qishen stood up, and everyone's eyes were on him. He sat gracefully on the praying mat, and when he stepped down, the game was over.

"I never thought that there would be such a talent in Dongsheng." The Southern Barbaric Emissary probably never expected that someone would actually solve it, and his expression was slightly unsightly.

Although Gu Jingyuan was imbecile and incompetent, there were people who would bring honor to their country. The pride in their hearts was inertia.

He laughed loudly, "Master Song is a pillar of our country, of course he's not bad."

Meng Zijue held his chin and looked over. The smell of alcohol was still lingering in his nose. He saw Jingfei looking at Song Qi River with eyes filled with stars.

"Hur hur." Meng Zixian couldn't help but chuckle.

"Can you continue playing chess with me?" Among the Southern Barbaric Emissaries, the skinny man looked at Song Qi, sincerely hoping.

Song Qishen naturally agreed. The eunuchs quickly brought over the chessboard and the corresponding chess pieces. The two of them would play according to this game. Each time they played, the eunuch would play one.

Gu Jingyuan didn't like this, so he started to doze off as soon as he saw it.

Quiet And Steadfast was watching the game with interest. His finger was dipped in wine as he started drawing on the table, trying to deduce where the next chess piece would land.

Meng Ziteng didn't understand this much, just like Gu Jingyuan. After watching for a while, he felt like dozing off, so he closed his eyes and quietly dozed off.

After an unknown period of time, a wave of applause accompanied by a loud and clear sound, "Alright!"

Meng Zixian was so shocked that her body trembled. Her eyes were dry and uncomfortable. The surrounding was very lively. It seemed that Song Qishen had won.

"I admit defeat. Master Song's chess skills are indeed formidable." The skinny Southern Barbaric Envoy was neither angry nor happy as he stood up and admitted defeat.

The envoy that brought up the competition had a face that maintained peace with great difficulty, then he stood out and said, "Dongsheng is truly filled with talented people. Our Southern Barbaric Nether Domain has conceded this round."

"Speaking of which, there are people who are brave enough to fight in the battlefield. Our Southern Barbaric Kingdom had wanted to ask for advice a long time ago. Can we let the warriors of Dongsheng compete with us, the brave warriors of the Southern Barbaric Nether Domain?"

This was something that should be agreed upon. Refusing was not enough to show the magnanimity of a country. People would think that Dongsheng was afraid.

"Of course, our martial arts are still not bad." Gu Jingyuan had already drunk too much and was a bit confused. Song Lianhe had naturally come out to take charge of the situation.

The emissary nodded with a satisfied smile on his face. He waved his hand and a big, muscular man walked out. He had a mouth full of stubble and looked very fierce.

"This is a warrior from the Southern Barbaric Nether Domain. I hope he can seek advice from the East." The envoy bowed and said with a smile.

Song Que maintained his poise: "You can pick anyone here, including me."

The burly man looked around and chose Gu Jing City, which was currently drinking.

"Cough, cough." Gu Jing Cheng coughed and put down the wine pot. He quickly waved his hand and said, "I can't win."

Meng Zixian had always been thinking, why must Song Que find out who the person behind the handkerchief was? The one who was harmed by the handkerchief was Gu Jingcheng, so in other words, Gu Jingcheng and Song Qishen definitely had a relationship.

"If that's the case, then I'll have to go up." Gu Jingcheng was slim. Perhaps it was because of that injury, but he still hadn't recovered from it. When he stood up, he looked even weaker.

Moreover, the Southern Barbaric Nether Domain had chosen a "thin and weak" person to fight with. The difference between the two was too great, and some people had already started whispering to each other, but some people's eyes became more profound as a dark light appeared behind their backs.

This banquet wasn't just a competition, perhaps there would be a test?

He made room for the two of them in an open area not far from where they could fight.

"I'll give you three moves." The brawny man said in a rough voice, magnanimous.

Gu Jing Cheng was also a shameless person. He accepted it decisively and got someone to bring him a treasured sword.

He drew his sword, and the sword light shone with a cold light. He rushed forward with a stride. His body was light and his movements were very fast.

Those who didn't know martial arts might not know, but Meng Zixian could see that Gu Jingcheng was in a corner out of sight. If Gu Jingcheng was playing tricks on this hulk, then this hulk must have suffered some injuries.

After the three moves had ended, it seemed like Gu Jing Cheng hadn't harmed the brawny man in the slightest. Some of the officials began to mock him.

Meng Zixian was interested. She looked at Gu Jingcheng and then looked at Song Qishen. Song Qishen and her eyes met.

She abruptly withdrew her gaze and pretended to be calm as she drank a cup of wine.

After the three moves, Gu Jing Cheng seemed to be at a disadvantage. He couldn't take advantage of his body or physical strength.

Based on the previous time in the forest, Meng Zixian didn't believe that Gu Jing Cheng wouldn't have thought of using softness to counter force. This burly man seemed powerful, but in reality, he had used a soft combination of inner force to beat him to the point of calling him 'mother' and 'father'.

The corner of Meng Zixian's mouth curled up as she watched Gu Jing Cheng being beaten until he bounced up and down as if he was watching a good show.

Who was this for?

She shifted her gaze to her subjects and noticed that many of them were extremely nervous about the situation. They were worried that they would lose the prestige of their country if they lost, so no one showed any expressions. Everything was as it should be.

Gu Jing Cheng was soon out of the way. He almost got hit by a fist. He quickly jumped off the stage to admit defeat and let out a sigh.

Now, with one winning and one losing, the Southern Barbaric Nether Domain seemed to be extremely satisfied, but it wasn't satisfied. It greedily continued to raise its own requirements, insisting on making Dongsheng look down on it and be inferior to the Southern Barbaric Nether Domain.

Song Que's eyes darkened and he smiled without saying a word.

The final round consisted of a series of shackles that were difficult to untie. Several officials stepped onto the stage and tried to untie them, but they ended up shaking their heads and returning in the end.

When Meng Zixian saw the chain, her first reaction was to laugh.

She had once stolen something like this, and after spending three days and three nights, she had finally undone it.

Right now, Dong Sheng was in a dead end. Even Song Qishen's face changed.

Meng Zixian finished her wine, stood up, and said loudly, "I'll do it."

This was the first time someone from the Consort Concubine had spoken. Even Gu Jingyuan's attention was focused on Meng Zixian.

Meng Zixian wasn't dazzling today, but she looked very comfortable. She looked dignified, polite, and extremely graceful. As she walked step by step onto the stage, many people took a look at her.

She picked up the chain and twisted it a few times. After realizing that it had the same structure as before, she started to unlock it with great confidence.

Her serious look didn't make her smile, but she had an inexplicable charm. It was very alluring. Song Qi looked at her and couldn't help but keep it on her body.

When Jing Fei noticed this, her eyes flickered and she was displeased.

After an incense stick of time, with a 'kacha' sound, the lock broke into several pieces, and fell to the ground with a 'hualala' sound.

"Impossible!" The Southern Barbaric Envoy lost his voice and even lost face for a moment, and his bearing dropped by a large amount. He noticed that he'd lost his composure and quickly recovered.

"Hahahaha, what do you think? Do I, Dongsheng, really have so many talents?!"

Gu Jingyuan laughed loudly and was extremely complacent as he looked condescendingly at the Southern Barbaric Envoy.
