After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

Is it really that simple?

This scheming man went through so much trouble to bring her here in the middle of the night, just to gamble with her?

Meng Qianqian always felt that the gamble was not as simple as it sounded.

"However you want to take it?"

The man said sternly, "You can't not take any, and you can't take all. You have to leave at least one chess piece in the chess box."

In other words, there is no tie.

Meng Qianqian’s plan to get all twenty pills at once was blocked.

"Any more?"

The man said: "Also, you must tell the truth and not lie."

No lying, what kind of rule is this?

Even if you lie, will the other party really know?

The man added: "You and I each have one chance to give up. You don't have to answer, but you will lose one of your chess pieces."

If you don't answer, you will just be deducted one point, which doesn't seem to be a big price to pay.

But if it happens to be the last one and you can't answer it, you will definitely lose.

Therefore, this opportunity to give up should either not be used or used early.

Meng Qianqian asked: "Which one is more disastrous, lying or having all your chess pieces taken away?"

The man said, "You're lying."

Meng Qianqian looked into his eyes and said, "Okay, I'll bet with you. Who will be the third person?"

The man glanced at Bai Yuwei and said, "Originally, I wanted my people to do it, but since Miss Bai is here, why not ask Miss Bai to be the third person?"

Meng Qianqian: “Okay.”

Bai Yuwei glared at Meng Qianqian and wanted to say that if anyone had to agree, it would be me who agreed, but she understood that there should be no internal strife in the face of a powerful enemy.

She went to get the black cloth from the tray.

"Wait." Meng Qianqian blocked her hand and said to the man, "I don't trust your things, little sister, use your own headband."

Bai Yuwei curled her lips and took off her hairband.

The man said, "My people will be blindfolded."

He called a female guard in and blindfolded Bai Yuwei.

Bai Yuwei was so angry that she was covered so tightly that she really couldn't see anything. It was impossible for her to cheat!

Meng Qianqian asked for Heizi.

The man said very gracefully: "Black goes first, you ask the first question."

Meng Qianqian said calmly: "Since it's a blind pick, it doesn't matter who goes first. There's no need to act like you're being humble."

Bai Yuwei said: "If you ask him how many hairs he has on his head, he will definitely not be able to answer, and he will definitely lose!"

The man looked at Meng Qianqian with a smile.

Meng Qianqian also smiled: "Wouldn't that be boring? How many Twelve Guards does the Prime Minister have?"

There was a flash of surprise in the man's eyes: "I thought you would ask me who I am."

Meng Qianqian said calmly: "It doesn't matter who you are. Besides Xun Yu, everyone knows that you are a dog under the Prime Minister."

The man smiled and said, "Four."

Meng Qianqian frowned secretly. Besides the Dragon, Sheep and Pig, there is another one?

Bai Yuwei said, "Hey, you said four, so it's four? What if you're lying?"

The man spread his hands: "If you have evidence to prove that I lied, you can judge me as the loser."

Bai Yuwei said coldly: "Where can we find evidence?"

The man smiled: "You have no evidence, so I didn't lie."

Bai Yuwei: "You——"

Meng Qianqian suddenly realized: "So this is how it works. I understand. Let's continue."

The man said, "I have answered your question. It is time to take the chess pieces. I will take four."

Bai Yuwei touched the chess box in front of her which contained ten white pieces and ten black pieces mixed together. She fumbled and counted out four pieces and placed them on the table.

Three black and one white.

Meng Qianqian lost three black pieces at once.

Seven versus nine.

"How is it?" Bai Yuwei asked.

Meng Qianqian said calmly: "Not bad."

The man laughed and said, "It's my turn now. Who has the military manual of the Twelve Guards?"

The Military Book of the Twelve Guards is not an ordinary military strategy, but a secret book for training the Twelve Guards and the Black Armor Army, also known as the inheritance of the Black Armor Army.

If Prime Minister Xun could get it, he would be able to establish his own Black Armor Army.

Meng Qianqian had to answer. It was already few, and if she deducted one more it would be even less.

But to be honest, she herself didn't have the answer to this question, because her memory was not complete.

Meng Qianqian said: "It's not in anyone's hands."

She chose to lie, since he had no evidence anyway.

The man sighed and said with regret: "It seems that you took advantage of the loophole."

Meng Qianqian said to Bai Yuwei: "Four."

Bai Yuwei took out two black and two white.

Five versus seven.

Next it was Meng Qianqian's turn to ask questions.

Meng Qianqian asked: "What leverage does the Prime Minister have on Chen Long?"

Surprisingly, the man gave up answering and took out a white piece from the chess box.

Five versus six.

Bai Yuwei asked, "Hey, why would he rather lose a chess piece than answer? He can lie! He is a scoundrel anyway!"

Meng Qianqian looked into the man's eyes with a half-smile: "Chen Long has lived in the Governor's Mansion for so long, he suspected that I already had the answer, and he was asking even though he knew it. If he lied, he would lose. But suspicion is just suspicion after all. What if I was deceiving him, and he told the truth, then he really told me Chen Long's handle."

Bai Yuwei suddenly realized: "So he must give up this round!"

Meng Qianqian said: "That's right."

The man took a long breath and said to Meng Qianqian: "You are smarter than I thought. It seems I have to be more serious."

Meng Qianqian said without mercy: "There's no need to save face like this."

The man's mouth twitched: "It's my turn. Is Lu Yuan the son of the King of Chu?"

Meng Qianqian was secretly shocked.

Lu Yuan...son of the King of Chu?

Why would he ask such an absurd question?

The rules allow lying, unless he knows Lu Yuan’s exact background, after all, there is evidence.

But the answer to this question is "yes or no", so I still have a 50% chance of guessing it right.

If he were a real gambler, he might do this, but he is not one of them.

A smart person would not bother to gamble, as they want to be sure of everything being planned out.

Then there was only one other possibility left, he was just suspicious and he wanted to get the answer from himself.

No matter how much she lied, he would be able to tell the truth from her expression and tone.

"Yes."

Meng Qianqian answered with a twinkle in her eyes.

Go ahead and guess!

Bai Yuwei had been confused by these two people and had no idea whether they were telling the truth or just talking.

Meng Qianqian called out five chess pieces.

But unfortunately, Bai Yuwei took out four black and one white.

One to five.

She only has one black dot left.

The man couldn't help but laugh: "It seems that the Yinhu Guards are unlucky tonight. If you don't know, you would think Miss Bai is my sister-in-law."

Bai Yuwei panicked when she heard this, and reached out to Meng Qianqian: "What do you mean? Did I... did I take all your black pieces?"

Meng Qianqian glanced at the remaining chess pieces in the chess box: "No, you got it very well, it's exactly what I want."

The man smiled and said, "There's no need to be so stubborn."

Meng Qianqian looked at the man: "My last question, will I win?"

The man was startled.

Suddenly realizing something, the smile of victory froze on his lips.

If he answers yes, in order to ensure that his answer is correct, he must admit defeat, otherwise he will have lied.

Lying is the biggest loss.

If he answered no, he would have to ensure that Bai Yuwei would not get the black piece next time.

"You have already used up your chance to give up. According to the rules, you must answer and take at least one chess piece."

Meng Qianqian said, moving her fingertips and showing a silver needle, "Little sister, I am the successor of the Thirteen Ghost Needles."

Bai Yuwei smiled in surprise: "I understand!"

She began to look for the chess piece with a pinhole in the chess box.

The man's expression changed: "You are cheating!"

Meng Qianqian spread her hands: "What kind of trick did I play? Did I remind her which one to take?"

The man said, "You tampered with the chess piece!"

Meng Qianqian looked very innocent: "When I asked you about the rules, you didn't say I couldn't move."

Bai Yuwei held the chess piece with both hands and said excitedly, "I found it! Sir, how many do you want? I remind you that you can't take all at once, but you can't leave any behind!"

The man gritted his teeth and said, "Does it matter how many you take? Meng Xiaojiu, you win!"

Meng Qianqian smiled: "You mean you admit defeat? I beat you, you shouldn't cheat, right?"

The man said solemnly: "I, Xun Qi, accept the defeat!"

"Oh."

Meng Qianqian curled the corners of her lips and said, "Little sister, give the black one to him."

Bai Yuwei handed the man a chess piece, but it was not a black piece, but a white piece.

The man was shocked.

Meng Qianqian shrugged: "I didn't do anything. I just tricked you. But you admitted defeat yourself, you won't regret it, right?"

The man almost vomited blood.

No wonder the girl asked, "Do you mean you admit defeat?" There is only one word difference between losing and admitting defeat, and you won't feel the difference when you are extremely emotional.

At most, it is an inappropriate expression.

Coupled with the provocative method of the following sentence, there is completely no room for people to think.

Her seemingly casual and unintentional words actually had a trap in every one of them.

He lost, and he accepted the loss himself.

"Wow! I really won!" Bai Yuwei excitedly pulled off the blindfold. "I'm awesome, right? My cooperation was perfect! I figured out your plan right away!"

Meng Qianqian praised generously: "My little sister is very smart. Thanks to her, we were able to win."

It's not flattery, but Bai Yuwei really understood what he meant at the critical moment.

Bai Yuwei felt such a sense of accomplishment!

She helped, she contributed!

This family cannot be without the little guy, and she is indispensable to the little guy's salvation.

To round it off, this family will fall apart without her!

The man's expression turned very ugly. He looked at Meng Qianqian with a grim smile: "You are so deceitful, aren't you afraid that I will go back on my word?"

Meng Qianqian admitted frankly: "I'm afraid. There's a 50% chance that you'll go back on your word. I knew from the beginning that even if I beat you, I'd only have a 50% chance of saving my child. But if I don't do my best to beat you, I won't even have that 50% chance."

The man's anger gradually dissipated, and finally turned into a long sigh: "Meng Xiaojiu, you are an admirable opponent. I finally understand why my foster father must get rid of you. It's not to defeat Lu Yuan, but Lu Yuan has you, and he really has the confidence to fight with my foster father."

Bai Yuwei asked in great surprise: "You are also the adopted son of Prime Minister Xun? How many sons does he have?"

Xun Qi smiled and said, "I am the seventh child, the seventh son of the Prime Minister, and also the youngest. My second brother is Chen Long, my third brother is Xun Yu, and Lu Yuan is the fourth."

Bai Yuwei asked, "With so many sons, where are the eldest, fifth, and sixth?"

Xun Qi did not answer her question, but said to Meng Qianqian: "My adoptive father's children are all capable. He originally did not intend to let all of us return to Beijing, but who made Lu Yuan grow up to be a hard bone to chew?"

Why do these words sound more like a reminder to myself to be careful?

Meng Qianqian blinked calmly and said, "I want to see my daughter."

Xun Qi said: "Okay."
