[Chapter 27 - Burning Star Game] Chess Game for the Ages

Tao Rende was even more disgusted when he heard this: "This kind ......of excitement has to be made up, could it be that you still want to go on stage and compare yourself with others."

"It's better to have nothing to do, it's better to have fun than to be bored in the house." Liu Dajiong worked tirelessly, "I heard that it was very lively, and some people came from other places just to take a look." ”

Tao Rende was dumbfounded when he heard this, as a hard-working Taifu, he never knew that the people of Dachu were so idle.

So when Chu Yuan was busy with the affairs in hand and wanted to discuss political affairs with Taifu, he was told by Sixi that Master Taifu and Master Liu had left the palace half an hour ago, and it was said that they had gone to Taici Road to see people and beauties.

Chu Yuan: "......"

Sixi asked, "Do you want to send someone to invite the two adults back?" ”

Chu Yuan waved his hand: "That's it, I've been in this imperial study, I'm also a little bored, let's stop here today." ”

Sixi's father-in-law hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and said, "Do you want to ask the imperial doctor to take a look?" ”

"What do you ask the Imperial Doctor to do?" Chu Yuan shook his head, "It's too stuffy in the room, just go to the Imperial Garden for a walk." ”

In the scorching summer, it is the time when the flowers are red and willow green, and the breeze in the small pavilion in the middle of the lake is gusting, which should be refreshing and pleasant. It's just that Chu Yuan sat for a while, but he felt that it seemed to be ...... Not much cool.

Sixi said empathetically: "The emperor wants to go out of the palace for a walk?" ”

Chu Yuan looked at him with a smile.

Sixi's father-in-law smiled: "It's okay to go and see Lord Taifu." "Taici Road is not far from the Yuelai Inn, maybe you can meet the king of the southwest.

Chu Yuan knocked him on the stomach with a fan: "Swing, get out of the palace!" ”

"Yes!" Sixi's father-in-law has a loud voice, it is good to go out, it is pleasant to go out, and it is also cool.

Taici Road is full of people, and it is really lively. The ring can be set up as high as two people, and the red, red, green and green on the top are eye-catching, but it is not for the sake of beauty as rumored, but for the sake of chess.

Lord Liu felt that he had been deceived.

However, Master Tao is very happy, he has always been a chess addict, he has studied Go for decades, and he has also broken many ancient deaths.

Liu Dajiong rolled his sleeves and said angrily: "What does this have to do with Pan An." "Why don't you call Sai Yuanqing, then I will definitely not come under the big sun.

Yuan Qing is a chess saint of this dynasty, with a pockmarked face and an ugly flower.

Master Tao had already squeezed into the crowd and began to study the chess game carefully.

Sai Pan'an was wearing a mask, looking like he was only in his twenties, and when he saw Tao Rende looking at it, he laughed and said, "This old gentleman wants to give it a try?" One or two lines of silver for a game. ”

Liu Dajiong sneered: "It's so expensive." ”

"But if the old gentleman wins, he will be able to get a hundred taels of gold, which is a unique good business." Sai Pan'an pointed back, and sure enough, he saw dozens of gold ingots swaying on the plate, and when the sun shone down, it was difficult not to attract people's attention.

Liu Dajiong smashed him with his elbow and said, "Old Tao, go and try?" ”

Tao Rende said: "This game is a dead end. ”

"The old gentleman hasn't tried yet, how can he assert that it is a dead end." Saipanan smiled, "If you don't dare to try, you won't dare, why do you come up with so many excuses." ”

Liu Dajiong was immediately worried, you must know that Tao Taifu is notoriously cautious, and the leader of the Imperial Forest Army on Taici Road is his nephew, what if he is thrown off.

"It's not a good thing for young people to be too arrogant." Tao Rende didn't bother with him, "Otherwise, you will inevitably suffer losses in the future." ”

Saipanan shook his head: "In this world, no one can make me suffer. ”

Someone in the crowd recognized it as the Imperial Taifu, so they whispered to remind the young man to pay attention to what he was saying. Tao Rende waved his hand to stop it, and walked out of the crowd with Liu Dajiong.

"Lao Tao, are you okay?" Liu Dajiong was tentative.

"The old man is naturally fine, but he is fine." Tao Rende said.

"It's nothing more than a reckless offspring who has never seen the world, and you really have a problem with him?" Liu Dajiong was surprised.

"Fang Cai's game of chess, do you know where Lord Liu came from?" Tao Rende asked.

Liu Dajiong said: "I don't know. ”

Tao Rende nodded: "I guess you don't know." ”

Liu Dajiong: "......"

So why ask?

"That endgame is called the Burning Star Bureau." Tao Rende said, "All the endgames in this world, there will be people who want to solve them, but there is only this Burning Star Bureau, and everyone can't avoid it." ”

Liu Dajiong was puzzled: "Why? ”

Tao Rende said: "Just because of this Burning Star Bureau, it will make people fall into demons." ”

Liu Dajiong laughed out loud.

Tao Rende: "......"

"Blow it, you just play, a chess game, and it can make people fall into the devil." Liu Dajiong obviously didn't believe it.

Tao Rende said angrily: "You are vulgar and uneducated, I don't talk to you." ”

"Look at you, if you say it, you don't think I'm educated." Liu Dajiong was used to arguing with him on weekdays, but he didn't get angry, he looked around and said, "Do you eat noodles?" ”

"What noodles to eat?" Tao Rende said, "I'm going to Dali Temple." ”

"Good and decent, what are you going to do in Dali Temple?" Liu Dajiong shook his head, "It's black and evil there, and it hurts to go back and go." ”

But Master Tao has already gotten into the sedan chair.

Are you really in such a hurry...... Liu Dajiong was puzzled, turned his head to look at the ring again, and saw that Nasai Pan'an's eyes were slightly closed, as if he was napping.

Chu Yuan went out of the palace in micro-suits, and sat in a sedan chair all the way to Taici Road, Sixi's father-in-law looked in front of him and said, "Ah, why are there so many people." ”

Chu Yuan didn't speak inside.

"Look at the two adults who are not here either." Sixi's father-in-law instructed the palanquin man, "Go further, there are many people here, don't be surprised." ”

The sedan chair man received the order, and Chu Yuan looked out the window, with a smile in his eyes.

The soft sedan chair crosses Taici Road, and in front of it is the Yuelai Inn, which is also coincidental, Duan Baiyue is walking this way.

"What a coincidence." Sixi's father-in-law was very surprised, and his face was full of emotion.

Chu Yuan lifted the sedan curtain.

Duan Baiyue looked at him and smiled.

"The emperor came out to find Master Taifu." Sixi's father-in-law explained, "I happened to pass by here. ”

"It just so happened that I bought the osmanthus braised goose." Duan Baiyue was carrying an oiled paper bag in her hand, "Do you want to eat together?" ”

That's naturally what you want. Sixi's father-in-law smiled and said: "Osmanthus braised goose is good, the emperor likes to eat osmanthus braised goose." ”

Chu Yuan: "......"

Duan Baiyue stepped forward and stretched out her hand.

Chu Yuan slapped him away and jumped off by himself.

Sixi's father-in-law watched the two go upstairs together, so he took the sedan chair man to the opposite teahouse, drank tea, and sent someone to buy a few red and oily pig's trotters to come back and gnaw - these days, the imperial doctor did not allow him to eat meat, and only cabbage and tofu were enough to satisfy his hunger every day, and he was really hungry.

There was a good Pu'er brought from the southwest in the house, and Duan Baiyue sent Xiao Er to cut the braised goose, accompanied it with some other side dishes, and sent it into the room with a pot of wine.

Duan Nian was guarding the door with a sword, and it was not easy for the prince to bring people back to the inn, even if there was a big matter at this time, he couldn't be disturbed.

"Taste it?" Duan Baiyue put a piece of meat into his bowl, "It is said that it tastes good and light." I originally thought that if I still had a chance to make a living, I would send a few to the palace. ”

Chu Yuan took a bite, there was a faint sweetness, and there was a hint of osmanthus fragrance.

Duan Baiyue asked, "Do you like it?" ”

Chu Yuan nodded: "The cook is good." ”

"Then I'll tie him up and take him to the palace?" Duan Baiyue mentions.

"Then I will let Xiang Yan do you." Chu Yuan put down his chopsticks, "Regarding the person who made the deal with the Tiansha Sect, how did you find out?" ”

"No clue." Duan Baiyue said, "That person only said that when Lan Ji arrived in the royal city, someone would come to look for her. It's just that now everyone in the rivers and lakes is saying that the Tiansha Sect has been destroyed, and I'm afraid that it will not be easy to let him take the initiative again. ”

Chu Yuan said: "The royal city is too big, there are strangers coming in and out every day, if the other party does not take the initiative to dedicate himself, I am afraid that the government will have nowhere to start." ”

Duan Baiyue poured him a glass of wine.

Chu Yuan said: "Why don't I write a letter to Wen Aiqing?" ”

"Why did you write to Lord Wen?" Duan Baiyue was dissatisfied when she heard this.

Jiangnan scholar, good-looking, white and clean, deeply loved by the emperor, and often stayed in the palace.

"He is the first talent in my Dachu, not only well-read, talented, quick-witted, but also strategic, maybe you will hear a thousand loops." Chu Yuan said.

Duan Baiyuexin said, if you are talented, you will say that you are talented, and you can boast about it for so long in one breath.

"What are you thinking?" Chu Yuan shook his hand in front of him.

Duan Baiyue came back to his senses: "Lord Wen is far away in Shu, but I am afraid that this letter will come and go, and it will take several months, not to mention. "At that time, it is not certain that people will not be in the royal city, and they may die of old age.

"That's better than nothing to do." Chu Yuan took another bite of the dish, "Why is it all meat?" ”

"Eat more meat to grow meat." Duan Baiyue gave him another goose leg, "The emperor should be fatter, rich, and powerful in Kyushu." ”

Chu Yuan was amused by him.

"Are you really so busy these days?" Duan Baiyue looked at him closely, "The circles under his eyes are a little dark." ”

Chu Yuan unconsciously dodged back: "Hmm." ”

"I know, that Master Tao won't let you go lightly." Duan Baiyue sat straight and knocked on the table, "Since they all came out today, why don't you go out for a walk together after eating?" In the royal city, I think there will be many good places to visit. ”

Chu Yuan nodded: "It's okay." ”

Duan Baiyue smiled even more in his eyes, and lowered his head to help him blow a bowl of soup.

Duan Nian thought outside, why did he go out again, shouldn't he use his internal force to force out a mouthful of blood, and then he was unconscious and had to practice double cultivation.

After all, that's what it's written in the book.

Maybe it's because the braised goose is really delicious, Chu Yuan has a good appetite, and even feels a little ...... Prop up.

Duan Baiyue let him drink a pot of Pu'er to consume food, and then went out together.

Although there are no festivals in recent days, the royal city is always lively. Even at night, there are many things to see. The red lanterns hanging high by the river, reflected in the sparkling blue waves like an illusion, the willow trees are blooming just right, and there are people enjoying the cool air everywhere.

Duan Baiyue bought a windmill at the stall and handed it to him.

Chu Yuan turned his hand behind his back.

Duan Baiyue smiled: "If you don't take this, I'll buy you another candy man." ”

"Something that only children love." Chu Yuan sat on a big rock, "Tired." ”

"You're tired." Duan Baiyue squatted in front of him, "It's better to go out and walk around once in a while than to be bored in the palace all the time." If you have time in the future, I will take you back to the southwest to live for a while, then it will be really leisurely and happy. ”

Chu Yuan just didn't hear it, and turned his head to look at the river.

Why go back to the Southwest.

There was a commotion on the other end, and Duan Baiyue said, "It seems that something happened in the ring." ”

"What ring?" Chu Yuan asked, and after asking, he remembered it again, and said, "The one that is more beautiful?" ”

"What is more beautiful than that, although the person who set up the fight is called Sai Pan'an, but he is a chess player." Duan Baiyue said, "I put a game of dead chess pieces and brought a hundred taels of gold, saying that if someone can break it, I will give the gold away, and I have made a lot of silver in the past few days." ”

"Chess?" Chu Yuan understood, "No wonder Master Taifu wants to come and see it." ”

"Watching the battle shouldn't be a good thing." Duan Baiyue said, "Do you want to go and see?" ”
