Chapter 164: The Game
Imperial physician Chao Yuanfang came forward, and several people in the gate of the Imperial Doctor's Office all showed respect to him.
Even Dugu Shengli, who has always been arrogant and domineering, is the same.
Although the lonely Sheng Li was born pretty, her personality was violent, how to look at it, how to look like a stunner who brought disaster to the country and the people, every move was full of aggression like fire.
She and Nalan Lingyun's gentleness and lightness, Chunlan Qiuju, each won the game.
The only thing that doesn't appeal is that she's interested in women.
Previously, although Xia Ruohan was on Sima Jiu's side, his legs and stomach were already trembling because of the prestige of being one of the four evils in the Dugu Shengli Imperial Capital.
Fortunately, Chao Yuanfang came forward in time, and he was relieved.
After all, compared with the title of imperial physician, the title of Sizhi of Dali Temple is like the Mariana Trench and Mount Everest, which is far from the same.
"Sir, I saw that he was light and thin Sister Lingyun, so I got angry. Just a person from Liupin Dali Temple, he dared to come to the Taiyi Department to exert his authority, I really can't stand it. Dugu Shengli said to Chao Yuanfang, with a coquettish charm in her tone.
"The old man already knows." Chao Yuanfang smiled and stroked his beard.
Then, Chao Yuanfang said in a gentle voice: "Sheng Li, I won't tell you, they already know each other." ”
"Sir, Xiao Sheng came here this time, I wanted to find a doctor to understand the matter of the Dongcheng vampire demon case, I didn't want to be abrupt, Mr. Haihan." Sima Jiu reported the reason for coming here today to Chao Yuanfang.
"Dali Temple is on official business, and the Imperial Medical Department should cooperate." Chao Yuanfang said lightly.
"Thank you, sir."
Subsequently, Sima Jiu's painting style changed, bowed down and said: "The disciple visited the elder, some time ago, thanks to the care of Mr. Miaochun and the predecessors of the Medicine King, I have not thanked him in person, and I don't say whether I can visit the two ancestors. ”
"Senior brother and junior sister went to collect medicine outside the city." The White Yam King said without reservation.
Sima Jiu knew that the two senior brothers and sisters, King Bai Yam and Mr. Miaochun, had long been in love with each other, and when he heard that they went out of the city to collect medicine together, he couldn't help but smile and squeeze his eyes at Nalan Lingyun.
Nalan Lingyun realized that Sima Jiu was making fun of her master and uncle, and she blushed with her pretty face, and shyly poked Sima Jiu with her finger.
Dugu Shengli saw that the two were affectionate, and her heart was full of anger.
It's just that the Dugu family is not an ordinary family after all, and there is dignity in the bloodline.
Every month, Dugu Shengli has to endure great pain for a few days, and behind her hot temper, there is far more patience than ordinary people.
"Sister Sheng Li, the little sister is going to assist Brother Jiu today, and I can't accompany you to the mansion to evaluate the medicinal materials." Nalan Lingyun apologized to Dugu Shengli.
Dugu Shengli, as the commander of the Right Tun Guard, had never been rejected like this, and then, she glared at Sima Jiu fiercely in her heart.
"Brother Jiu, I think it's a starling, or a starling crawling underground." The image of Wang Ba appeared in her mind.
Dugu Shengli thought it was funny, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but smile.
Originally, Sima Jiu wanted to observe Dugu Shengli's rejected expression, but he never thought that her smile and short hair that killed Matt were extremely beautiful, which made Sima Jiu stunned for a moment.
Fortunately, Nalan Lingyun didn't notice his expression, but he was seen by Dugu Shengli.
Dugu Shengli didn't expect that she would not be able to invite Nalan Lingyun, but at this time, she was stared at by a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy.
She was in disobedience, and suddenly, an idea came to mind.
"Sister Lingyun, my sister doesn't disagree, it's just that this petty official from the sixth grade actually oppresses people with the official duties of Dali Temple, which is really depressing."
"In this way, my sister will gamble with him, and if he wins against my sister, my sister will agree." Dugu Shengli said her idea.
Dugu Shengli saw that the young man was still observing him, so she smiled at Sima Jiu.
Her jaw muscles bulged, and she was clearly gritting her teeth to control her emotions.
For a while, everyone couldn't make a decision, and looked at Chao Yuanfang with their eyes.
After all, he is the most prestigious person here.
Chao Yuanfang knew that he couldn't offend Dugu Shengli Taisheng. The commander of the Right Tun Guard is a Zheng Sanpin official, and she is only in her early twenties, and she has taken over the Right Tun Guard, which is responsible for one of the defenses of the imperial capital, and the new emperor Yang Guang's doting on her can be seen.
Chao Yuan said: "The Dugu family is unfathomable, the nephew Sima Jiu was born in poverty, and he is skilled in the school field, thinking about it, he is definitely not your opponent." ”
Sima Jiu was grateful in his heart, he knew that when Chao Yuan Fang said the word "teacher and nephew", he already had the meaning of protecting his shortcomings.
"My gambling with him is naturally not a technical attack, after all, if I fight with him, others will say that I am a bully."
Then, Dugu Shengli smiled lightly, raised her hand and swept the short hair in front of her forehead, and said softly: "The empire is famous for its battle arrays, and the black and white game is a battle array on the case. ”
"This kid is young, and he has achieved the position of the head of Dali Temple, thinking about it, the game skills must not be bad."
Although Sima Jiu is not a Go master, he can play one or two, and he is not worthy of the occasion.
In the previous life, there were many criticisms in the Go world about the level of ancient chess players, and it was even rumored in the Go world that modern chess players could beat ancient chess players.
Sima Jiu has also been influenced by this kind of thinking, although his level is not in the stream, but he still has some confidence in playing with the women of the Sui Dynasty.
"Good! That's it. Without waiting for the others to speak, Sima Jiu replied loudly.
When Chao Yuanfang heard this, his eyes lit up, and then his face turned bitter.
Sima Jiu dared to agree, and his courage was commendable.
It's just that the game is popular among scholars, and Sima Jiu was born poor, so if you think about it, your strength will not be too strong.
However, his opponent is Dugu Shengli.
In the top circle of Daxing City, the imperial capital, Dugu Shengli's chess strength is rarely matched.
Dugu Shengli saw Sima Jiu's happy promise, and her heart was happy, and her original disgust for him had faded a lot.
Sima Jiu had promised, Chao Yuanfang naturally did not say much, after he agreed with Dugu Shengli and Sima Jiu on the rules of two wins in three games, he ordered someone to prepare a chess game in a hall.
Soon after, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Sima Jiu and Dugu Shengli began to play.
The two sat down in front of the chessboard.
Dugu Shengli is taller than Sima Jiu, she sits on an equal footing with Sima Jiu, looking at Sima Jiu's eyes, there is a faint sense of oppression overlooking.
The irritability she had shown before disappeared in an instant.
The two guessed chess, and Sima Jiu got lucky and went first.
It's just that after just a dozen hands, Dugu Shengli showed a smug look.
Sima Jiu's chess path is completely different from the popular number of moves, at first, Dugu Shengli thought that he had met a strong opponent, but after a few moves, he found that Sima Jiu's layout was full of flaws, and at a glance he knew that it was a mediocre hand in the hands of Yong.
Among the onlookers, Chao Yuanfang was highly respected, and his chess strength was not bad, and he also saw Sima Jiu's flaws.
It's just that he didn't say anything about the real gentleman, he didn't say a hint, but secretly worried about Sima Jiu.
As soon as he reached the halftime of the first game, Sima Jiu knew that he was powerless to return to the sky, and Dugu Shengli's chess strength was far from something he could compete with.
Sure enough, after a short time, Sima Jiu was killed in pieces, and the defeat was decided.
"This game, do you want to continue?" Dugu Shengli looked at Sima Jiu with disdain.
"Next round!" Sima Jiu was not convinced.
It seems that ancient chess players cannot be underestimated.
Dugu Shengli saw that Sima Jiu was a little frustrated, and hummed a fashionable tune excitedly.
Only then did Sima Jiu discover that Dugu Shengli was actually a hipster in Daxing City.
A hipster with extremely high chess skills.
Two wins in three games, losing the first game, and not losing the remaining two games.
Sima Jiu knew that he could not defeat Dugu Shengli, so he asked the Kyushu staff group for help.
"Group leader Sima Jiu: Everyone, are there any big guys who have itchy hands and want to play two games."
"General Wang Meng: The black and white chess path is dark and clear, in the past, this general has studied a lot and has deep feelings."
"Group leader Sima Jiu: Don't be verbose, can you fight?"
"General Wang Meng: This general is full of martial arts and strategy, and he knows everything, but he only has a game, and he really can't grasp the mystery."
"Only one person sable cicada: cut! Nonsense. ”
"Humans and animals are harmless and white: the chess way is familiar with the way of soldiers, although the general's body is destroyed, he can study the chess game all the time, if the group owner is interested, he may wish to let the general give it a try."
Sima Jiu wanted to ask the others, but Dugu Shengli saw him in a daze and kept urging.
"Group leader Sima Jiu: Since the general has spoken, then there is Lao to guide him."
"Harmlessness to humans and animals: a trivial matter."
......
So, Sima Jiu followed Bai Qi's instructions and fell into place.
Dugu Shengli took a plate lightly, and she was quite contemptuous of Sima Jiu.
However, as soon as the second game began, she noticed something different.
Sima Jiu's layout, both offensive and defensive, faintly has the bearing of a confrontation between soldiers, and competes with Dugu Shengli everywhere.
Originally, this was also Dugu Shengli's chess style, but she despised Sima Jiu from the bottom of her heart, and her shot was not carefully considered.
Soon after the start, Sima Jiu took advantage of Dugu Shengli's miscalculation and seized the opportunity.
Gradually, the situation began to develop in favor of Sima Jiu.
