[Martial Arts] Infinite Chamber Game

Li Xunhuan's mission is slightly more complicated than Shangguan Jinhong's.

The original owner of the body he possessed was a princess. Her mother was of a very low rank and was not favored, but she died young. In addition, the emperor of the time had many children and the imperial power was checked by the aristocratic families. Therefore, when she got married to a nobleman from an aristocratic family, it seemed that her life was doomed to tragedy.

The prince consort looked down on this princess. He always felt that based on her background and the status of her father and brother in the court, even Princess Shang should be a legitimate princess, not this princess whose mother was of humble birth and who had only seen her father the emperor a few times.

In addition, the prince consort also has a concubine who also comes from a noble family, but unfortunately her family has fallen into poverty.

So the already unfortunate princess became even more unfortunate. Although she was born into a royal family, she grew up in the palace and was raised by palace servants. No matter her temperament, knowledge, or even appearance, she could not compare with the concubine who was influenced by generations of aristocrats. As long as the original owner stood with this concubine, no matter how gorgeously she dressed or how standard her etiquette was, she would always be made to look like a maid and could not show up on the stage.

That would have been fine, but the concubine who came from a noble family was no pushover either. After several rounds of open and covert fighting, the princess ended up being beaten to death by her husband.

That day, all the maids in the palace were silenced, and it was announced to the outside world that the princess had died suddenly of an acute illness. When the obituary was sent to the emperor, he just glanced at it and put it aside.

That year, the princess was only in her twenties. All this happened just because she fell in love with the noble boy at first sight when he was riding his horse through the long street from a tall building.

The princess sold herself to the game and was reborn. She had three wishes. First, she wanted to change her fate of being beaten to death by her husband. Even if she died, she wanted her husband to be heartbroken. She never wanted to see her husband's cold eyes as if he had brushed off dust before her last look in the world.

Second: She wants her husband to fall in love with her.

Third: She wanted the concubine who framed her to be torn to pieces.

The game released the task only after Li Xunhuan came over.

This really screwed him over.

After learning about the mission, this man who ranked third in the martial arts weapon list and was chosen by the emperor fell into a state of despair even more than the moment the princess was beaten to death.

If he did nothing, he would be beaten to death, the mission would fail, and he would get no points. If he did something... Li Xunhuan held his forehead in pain - what could he do! Huh?

Shangguan Jinhong took less than two hours to complete the task, while Li Xunhuan spent two hours bargaining with the little princess in his consciousness.

"Why don't I help you escape? Hatred can't help you in anything except bringing you pain. Why ruin your life for a man who doesn't love you at all? Just live well, even if I fail in my mission, okay?"

The little princess scolded him.

Li Xun Huan continued to reason: "You are still very young, and you still have a long way to go in the future. The world is vast, and you will encounter many new and interesting things, and you will also meet people who truly love you..."

The little princess scolded her again and said, "I will not let you go until you feel the pain I once felt. How can you still stand and talk like this without any pain in your waist?"
Li Xunhuan was silent.

Words are pale, and he intends to show the little princess how colorful the world is through his actions.

He seemed to have done nothing, but also seemed to have done a lot.

He was a young man from aristocratic family. Not only was he well-educated, he was also good at playing chess, drinking tea, reciting poems, burning incense and playing the piano. He knew all the romantic things that scholars and writers loved. Although he hadn't touched these things for many years, it was not difficult for him to pick them up again.

So, overnight, the servants were surprised to find that the princess seemed like a different person. She no longer obsessed with her prince consort and pretended to be a noble, but her behavior was actually laughable.

She seemed to have become a famous and elegant person. It was not a deliberate disguise, but a carefree and unrestrained nature that came from her bones. Her eyes also changed, becoming calm, like the spring breeze blowing on the willows, casting a dot of light on the green pond, making people feel close to her for no reason.

Every morning, the concubine of the prince consort would come to pay her respects, which was more like a duel than a visit. Although the little princess felt sad and jealous when she saw her, and was often annoyed by her provocations, she could not find any fault with her. However, in order to show the royal majesty, she never exempted her from paying her respects.

Now it was Li Xunhuan's turn. He was not the kind of person who was willing to force himself. He would not see anyone he did not want to see, and he had no interest in arguing with women. So as soon as the person arrived at his door, she was chased away before she even stepped through the threshold. The poor concubine had prepared all morning of sarcastic and secretive words, but they were all blocked by her. She was almost angry to death.

It was impossible for the concubine to die of anger, so she turned around and complained to her husband with tears in her eyes. That night, the husband came to her house to seek justice.

At that time, Li Xunhuan was teaching the princess how to play chess. Curls of green smoke rose from the incense burner. She was leaning on a cushion with her hair loose and dressed in gorgeous clothes. There was a pot of sake next to the chessboard.

"This move is the most classic chess game in the history of chess. When I was young, I played against my brother and lost to this trick. Later, I pondered for a day and a night before I finally broke the black chess's siege. I thought my trap was ingenious, so I asked my brother to help me break the game the next day. I didn't expect that he found a way to break the game in just half a cup of tea. Now I think that my brother's chess skills are much better than mine."

Under the light, Li Xunhuan recounted his interesting childhood stories. The little princess looked at the chess game and listened to the story, almost mesmerized.

In the eyes of others, this scene is a bright-eyed girl lying lazily on the mat, staring at the chessboard intently, with the light shining between her brows, adding a layer of tenderness. She sits there casually, with a clear and relaxed mind, like the wind under the forest.

The prince consort who came over aggressively to question him seemed a little dazed.

He never imagined that the stupid wife he had to marry would have such a side to him.

He sat over involuntarily. Li Xunhuan just glanced at him indifferently, picked up another cup and poured him one.

He behaves in an elegant manner, with a bit of the boldness of a man of the world. How could he look stupid at all?

So there happened the scene that Shangguan Jinhong saw.

Li Xunhuan was held by the hand, and was asked to stay by the prince consort. He was slightly drunk with sake, and the candlelight was swaying...

Li Xunhuan was going crazy.

Although he is using the body of a young girl now, he is still a man at heart! Instead of letting him sleep with a man, it would be better to drag him out and shoot him now!
After finally sending the prince consort away despite the princess's protests, Li Xunhuan fell directly onto the big bed. He couldn't fall asleep for the moment anyway, so he wanted to take a look at the progress of his teammates. However, as soon as he entered the system, he saw the connection request.

Is this still connectable?
He tried to answer the call, and then the faces of Shangguan Jinhong and a middle-aged man popped up.

"This is your son." Shangguan Jinhong patted the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man looked very excited too. He knelt down with a plop, completely ignoring the many people around him, and kowtowed to the live broadcast.

"Dad! We have been separated for thirty years, and I never thought we would meet today!"

Li Xunhuan: “???”

Shangguan Jinhong said coldly: "Your son married my daughter!"

Li Manqing hurriedly said: "I didn't marry her, it's just..." Before she could finish, Shangguan Jinhong kicked her hard.

If Gang Leader Shangguan wants to kick someone, few people can escape.

"This account will be settled with you later!"

Li Xunhuan: “…” I said, don’t be so ridiculous.

He changed the subject somewhat abruptly: "Why are you here?"

Shangguan Jinhong briefly explained what happened, and then looked at Li Xunhuan with a complicated look at the end: "For someone like you, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out no matter how long it takes."

After understanding Li Xunhuan's mission, he passed on his speed-pushing experience to Li Xunhuan.

"Your task is very easy to complete. If I were to do it, it would only take two hours at most."

Li Xun Huan frowned. Others might not know, but didn't he know Shangguan Jin Hong? He was a man who killed people more skillfully than chickens. He knew what he was up to without having to think.

"Don't forget your current identity. You are a princess. Even if you chop the concubine into pulp with a knife in broad daylight, no one will dare to say anything to you. I believe you must have trusted subordinates. You can order them to tie up the whole family of the prince consort at night and ask him whether he loves you or not. If he says no, you will kill him. Even if you kill his whole family, the prince consort himself still has limbs and torso..."

Li Xunhuan disconnected the connection on the spot.

Shangguan Jinhong was so angry that his nose was crooked because his kindness was taken for granted. Before he could say anything, he heard Li Manqing say leisurely: "My father is kind-hearted. Violence can't solve the problem after all. Gang Leader Shangguan, this may be one of the reasons why you were defeated by him that year."

No, I wanted to show you how unlucky your father is. Why are you bragging about it?
Shangguan Jinhong clenched his five fingers into a fist and said calmly: "The problem may not be solved by violence, but you can."

After that, he used the "Flying Ring Hand" move to hit Li Manqing's heart. Li Manqing hastily avoided it and used the "Dragon Exploring the Moon" movement to move around Shangguan Jinhong.

But even his father was no match for Shangguan Jinhong, let alone himself?
After only three or five rounds of fighting, Li Manqing was knocked out by a palm strike, fell heavily to the ground, and spit out a large mouthful of blood.

He was not stupid. Seeing that the situation was not good, he rolled and crawled to hide behind the young man named Hu Fei. Regardless of whether Hu Fei was willing or not, he grabbed the back of his clothes and tried to use the trick of a chicken hiding from an eagle.

Hu Fei was also really righteous. He immediately opened his arms and advised: "It's just a quarrel. You beat him, do you want to kill him? We are summoned here. Even if there are any grievances, we must first share the same hatred and get through this hurdle first!"

Shangguan Jinhong said coldly: "Get out of the way!"

Hu Fei raised his eyebrows: "No!" "Very good." Shangguan Jinhong knew the power of this skill very well, and did not go up, but pulled Lei Chun, who was sitting innocently on the side, over like lightning, and said: "Give the order, let him go back!"

Before Lei Chun could react, her neck was pinched by a huge force. The pain made her face pale. She trembled and gritted her teeth, "Let go...ah..."

With a scream of pain, Lei Chun was hit on the mute point by Shangguan Jinhong.

"Get out of the way, or I'll kill her first."

Hu Fei's eyes widened. Before he could answer, a whisk had already hit Shangguan Jinhong's head. Li Mochou said sternly: "I don't care if you kill others, let her go!"

The attack of the whisk was fierce, and Shangguan Jinhong had to hold Lei Chun to defend himself. Suddenly, a strong wind came from his left arm, and he rolled over and jumped out of the inn.

Hua Manlou followed closely after him, his movements swift and he stuck closely to Shangguan Jinhong, never leaving his side. His sleeves flew freely, with no intention of hurting anyone, only to snatch Lei Chun away.

Li Mochou's whisk had already circled behind Shangguan Jinhong. A bunch of silver threads, stimulated by her internal force, attacked Shangguan Jinhong's vital points like sharp needles.

Being attacked from both sides, one would inevitably lose sight of the other. Shangguan Jinhong simply ignored both sides and pinched Lei Chun's wrist hard. Lei Chun was weak to begin with, and he could not withstand the pinch. He fainted from the pain immediately. Even Hua Manlou and Li Mochou gasped at the same time, breaking out in cold sweats, and could not use their martial arts for a while.

Upon seeing this, the godfathers who were originally watching the fun rushed forward. Among them were local tyrants, wandering knights, and evildoers, but no one was brave enough to drag a weak woman into a fight.

Some people were already filled with righteous indignation and cursed: "That man, you are so shameless! If you want to beat someone up, just beat him up openly, why hold a girl hostage!"

"Hey, let my girl go! Otherwise, I'll shoot you!" As he said this, he took out a cross-era weapon.

"Shame on you, look at the stick!"

Hu Fei also took Li Manqing and chased after them.

Shangguan Jinhong was trapped, and felt his blood boiling. He threw Lei Chun out and said with a clenched fist: "Let's go together!"

Hu Fei looked back, raised his knife and shouted: "Evil villain! Take my knife!"

Li Manqing also said: "Shangguan Jinhong, you have acted cruelly and have angered everyone. Today, even if I have to sacrifice my life, I will..." The flying knife was already in his hand, and he paused strangely before he finished his impassioned speech.

So, he and my father are teammates, right? Killing him is the same as killing my father!

You can do without your father-in-law, but you can’t do without your biological father!

Li Manqing broke out in a cold sweat.

Seeing that Shangguan Jinhong had been surrounded by the crowd, he stamped his feet, resolutely blocked in front of Shangguan Jinhong, and said in panic: "Wait! Everyone, wait a minute! Listen to me."

"What the hell are you talking about!" Ke Zhenwu spat a mouthful of thick phlegm on Li Manqing's face and cursed, "You are the one who caused all this trouble! Get out of here!" He struck out with an iron rod, carrying a fierce force, almost splitting Li Manqing's head, but Li Manqing dodged it nimbly. Unfortunately, the strong wind swept onto another person, who also had a bad temper. He threw a bone-cutting nail in his backhand and cursed, "We are standing up for justice, why are you, an old cripple, joining in the fun? Get out of here!"

Ke Zhen'e was so angry that his hair stood up. He swung his iron rod, swept away the bone-cutting nails, and started a fight with the man.

After Lei Chun was thrown out, someone was quick to catch him and held him tenderly in his arms. Someone else saw this and immediately shouted, "Hey! What are you doing? I heard that you are a complete rapist! What are you doing with your hands? You rapist, stay away, watch out for the sword!"

The entrance to the inn became a martial arts arena, and everyone was fighting. Gradually, it became unclear who was beating whom.

In the chaos, a young man dressed as a Taoist priest stood in the outer circle, at a loss, watching sticks and swords flying, blood and moonlight blending into one color. He wanted to ask everyone to stop but didn't know who to start with. Helplessly, he activated his five-word mantra again.

"Your shoe laces are untied!"

……

Ximen Chuxue was still sitting on a chair in the inn. Just now, they were crowded in the room, and now only Ye Gucheng, Shi Guanyin and Wuhua were left.

They are connecting with Lu Xiaofeng live.

Lu Xiaofeng was still resting in the border town. The three of them were also idle, all watching the dark live broadcast. Even the location of the magic box on the table was determined by Lu Xiaofeng. Ximen Chuxue went back to the sewer overnight and searched the monster's corpse for a long time before he found it.

He almost became the external brain of the Dark Team.

Lu Xiaofeng asked, "Are you going to the palace tomorrow?"

Ximen Chuixue said: "We can't delay any longer."

Everyone had a premonition that the trip to the palace would be extremely dangerous. They would no longer be dealing with low-level monsters that were created by human wave tactics, but the devil of hell. If they were not careful, they would end up dead without a burial place.

The reason why those people outside are in such a mess may be that they are under too much pressure and are seeking release.

Ximen Chuixue asked, "Still can't see them?"

Lu Xiaofeng sighed: "I can't see them, but at least they are still alive. As long as they are alive, there is hope."

Ye Gucheng suddenly asked: "What if they have become containers for monsters?"

As they were talking, there was a loud shout from outside: "Your shoelaces are untied!" and the four people who were sitting steadily bent down involuntarily.

It would be fine if they were standing, but they were sitting and there was a table in front of them. In order to bend over, they had to at least turn sideways.

This skill doesn't matter whether you are sitting or standing. Once it is activated, everyone within the range will bend over.

So these four unlucky guys were sitting upright one moment, and their heads hit the table hard the next moment, and their bodies bent into a smooth line. As soon as they squatted down, their skills were released, and their bodies lost control. They stood up subconsciously, and the back of their heads hit the table again, scoring twice.

Lu Xiaofeng had already covered his face, as if he couldn't bear to watch any longer, his shoulders trembling: "You...are you okay?"

The four of them were all silent, squatting in unison.

According to their experience, shoelaces are never tied only once.

……

Outside, the young Taoist priest shouted, "Everyone, if you don't want to bend over to tie your shoelaces all the time, just be quiet. There will be a fierce battle tomorrow. Do we have to kill each other before we can win?"

"This matter has nothing to do with me. I was forced to come here. Who wants to die with you?"

"Who do you think you are? How dare you give orders?"

"Damn it, I've disliked you for a long time. Tie your shoelaces, I'll tie your mother's!"

The young Taoist dodged the sword and knife, sighed deeply, and took a deep breath: "Your shoelaces are untied, your shoelaces are untied, your shoelaces are untied..."

……

Wuhua was already squatting with his face flushed, and said angrily: "That guy is a piece of shit! Ye Gucheng, sing a song!"

"Sing louder, so they know how great you are!"

Ye Gucheng gave a chilly look in response, and instead of singing, he shut his mouth.

It is impossible to sing. It is impossible for me to sing in this life.

The live broadcast connection has not been disconnected. Xiao Longnu sighed softly and said seriously: "Let me pass. My skills should be able to release that person's control."

Lu Xiaofeng and Number Seven Under Heaven were both shocked, their eyes filled with fear, and they took a step back together.

It’s a pity that Shi Guanyin was squatting and didn’t see it.
