บท 86: The Long Journey to Ningzhuo 2

Ningzhuo, northern Wei

Late in the night at a candlelit study, a robust-looking tall man sat at one end of a Go board, while a slender woman in red sat at the other end of the board. He held up a white go piece, silently calculating the right step to take. 

A lot of strategies ran through his might yet he couldn't decide on the right step to take. His opponent had him locked in an unfavourable position, he glanced at his opponent. Whose red lips curved up, on seeing his obvious indecision. Her delight at his current condition was obvious. 

She didn't even bother to hide it, "don't keep me waiting my dear, make your move".

The man shook his head and glanced at her for a second before he placed the white go piece on the Go board while following a set strategy. When a man in the light full body armour belonging to a military guard rush in and fell on one knee.
