Fang Guolian, Bu Yuan, and Lu Zhufeng left Qujiaji and came to Suzhou on the road.

Lu Zhufeng asked, "Brother Fang, where are we going?" Fang Guochuan said: "I once had an appointment with a friend in Suzhou and introduced me to a master in chess. This time, I went to ask the master for advice on chess, and second, to inform the national eunuch Li Wusan of the ghost chess murder, hoping to discuss a solution with this master. This is a major event in chess, and it should be warned to the famous masters to prevent it from being harmed by ghost chess again. After saying that, he sighed.

Bu Yuan saw that Fang Guohuan was worried, so he wanted to divert the topic away from chess, so as not to make Fang Guohuan unhappy, so he said: "This Suzhou friend of the virtuous brother, but that Zhao Gongzi who is surprisingly greedy? Fang Guochuan said: "Yes, it is this person." Bu Yuan said: "What kind of people are not good for the virtuous brother to meet, how to meet such lazy guys?" Fang Guochuan heard it and said with a smile: "In fact, eating and drinking is also a kind of knowledge, and there is a world in the food, which is broad and profound. Bu Yuan said: "Dare to be affectionate, it's just that those rich people are idle and pay attention to nothing, make a name for themselves, hungry him to try it for two days, and the dog food is also rushed to eat." Hearing this, Fang Guochuan shook his head and smiled.

Lu Zhufeng suddenly asked at this time: "Could it be that you can also eat a national champion?" Bu Yuan said with a smile: "If you eat a champion and lead a restaurant, then the emperor is really dizzy." When Lu Zhufeng heard this, for some reason, he sighed, shook his head and said, "It seems that it is too edible, and people will laugh at it." When Fang Guochuan and Bu Yuan heard this, they didn't care. Lu Zhufeng said at this time: "I heard that there is a place in Guangdong that eats the most surprising, what cats, mice, moths, and insects are all stuffed into the mouth, and if you are not careful, a snake will crawl out of your nostrils." Bu Yuan listened and laughed. Fang Guochuan remembered that day at the Eight Treasures Banquet in the Xianpintang of Shiyan Village Food Building, Zhao Mingfeng couldn't help frowning at the disgusting "three rings" dishes and "sprouts" dishes he told him.

It was nearly noon, and the three brothers felt a little hungry, and saw a "Qingfeng Hotel" alone in the wilderness on the side of the road ahead. Bu Yuan said: "The host opened this hotel in this place where people are far away, and he is very shrewd in guarding the traffic arteries. Then the three of them drew their horses to the front, and immediately some of them came up and took the reins and greeted them.

When he entered the door, Lu Zhufeng still held a bamboo pole in his hand, and he wanted to bring it in with him. When a guy saw it, he stepped forward and said, "This guest officer, the bamboo is put outside the door first, how about taking it when you come out?" So as not to scratch people, and it is inconvenient, the villain will show you that you can't lose it. When Lu Zhufeng heard this, he felt reasonable, so he put it next to the door, and then came in. At this time, there were several tables of customers eating and drinking in the store, and they were all walking long way to stop here, and the three brothers chose a table to sit on.

Fang Guojian asked Lu Zhufeng and said, "Brother Xian, what do you eat?" Lu Zhufeng said: "Two steamed buns, when I used to herd cattle, they were all dealt with with one vegetable bun." Bu Yuan said with a smile: "After following the two brothers for these days, I still can't change my stingy temperament, and the two steamed buns will send you away." Fang Guohuan smiled and said: "Brother Xian can be thrifty, but my brother is not short of silver for the time being, don't worry about eating well, when the money is short, you can divide half of the vegetable bun with me." After speaking, Fang Guohuan asked for two large plates of beef, a few side dishes, a jar of wine, and more than a dozen steamed buns. The three brothers were not humble either, and began to eat and drink.

Lu Zhufeng saw the food on the table, and he was overjoyed, so he ate seven or eight steamed buns and a large plate of beef alone, and when he saw that there was less left on the table, the speed of eating slowed down, and he didn't want to eat more. In this way, Fang Guolian and Bu Yuan on the side looked straight **.

Bu Yuan was surprised: "Brother, is he suffering from hunger today, can he eat like this?" Why is it not as small as the amount of food a few days ago? Lu Zhufeng said with some embarrassment at this time: "Don't hide it from the two elder brothers, the younger brother has hardly eaten enough in his life." "Huh?" Bu Yuanyi was shocked, "Haven't you eaten enough?" ”

Lu Zhufeng said: "Yes, in fact, the little brother can eat a lot, and I don't know how much food I have. When he was very hungry, he often went to the field to dig some sweet potatoes to eat, and then helped the owner of the land to do some work, so as not to be scolded. When you are lucky, you can poke a tiger and leopard to death with a bamboo pole, as well as some rabbits and pheasants, and then roast them to eat, and you can also eat a few meals. Hearing this, Bu Yuan's eyes widened and he exclaimed, "Pity! Wretched! Such a divine power that dares to love my brother is actually eaten! ”

Fang Guohuan also felt surprised, and hurriedly asked: "Since Brother Xian followed the two of us, every time I eat, Brother Xian puts the chopsticks first, and asks if you are full, you say that you are full every time, why do you only show your ability to eat a lot now?" Lu Zhufeng said truthfully: "The younger brother was fortunate to be taken in by the two elder brothers, escorting Mr. Qu back to his hometown, and I thought that the food and lodging along the way were all paid by Mr. Qu to hire the two brothers in the future, and I wanted to save some for the two brothers, and I would get more when I checked out." Who knew that when I arrived at Mr. Qu's house, I realized that the expenses of the two elder brothers were all along the way, which made the younger brother respectful. In Mr. Qu's house, he was afraid that he would make others laugh at him if he let go of his belly, so he didn't dare to eat to his heart's content. Seeing that the two elder brothers have some silver, they might as well eat a full meal first, they are already hungry these days. "Oh my God!" Hearing Bu Yuan's muttering, he and Fang Guochuan were surprised and excited, and the two of them were stunned by Lu Zhufeng's simple and sincere expression and the surprise that they could eat.

Bu Yuan patted Lu Zhufeng on the shoulder at this time, and said with emotion: "It turns out that my brother didn't eat enough before, so he saved money for his brothers, what a sin!" Let go of your stomach and eat today, don't take care of the silver, your eldest brother is a cornucopia, and there will be silver sent to the door at that time, from now on, you must be allowed to eat well, but don't be wronged by your own family. Lu Zhufeng said: "The younger brother can follow the two brothers in this life, and he is very lucky!" In the future, but to help the two brothers kill some bad guys, there is nothing else to ask for, it is enough to be fed. Bu Yuan and Fang Guohuan listened, they were so moved, Bu Yuan waved his hand and said: "Man, come here for another five catties of beef, no, eight catties, and twenty more steamed buns." ”

A guy stepped forward and asked, "Did the guest officer bring food on the way?" Bu Yuan said: "You, who runs a restaurant, are you still afraid of the big-bellied man?" The fellow looked at the three of them strangely, and saw that none of them looked like they could eat, and shook his head and went to cook. There was not much time, eight catties of beef and twenty steamed buns were served, and Bu Yuan pushed them all in front of Lu Zhufeng, and said, "Brother, use it slowly, don't be in a hurry, it's not enough to ask the store for more." Lu Zhufeng was overjoyed at this time: "Let's eat!" Bu Yuan was stunned when he heard this, and said with some surprise: "Then let's eat and see!" Lu Zhufeng said: "Thank you two brothers for the grace of food." ”

After speaking, he let go of the big food, and a gust of wind swept away, and in an instant, most of the food on the table had gone, and the eating momentum was still unabated, and it was obviously on the rise. Bu Yuan and Fang Guolian glanced at each other, surprised, and the guys in the store and the guests at the adjacent table were also stunned. Bu Yuan was a little worried: "Good brother, stop when you're full, don't break your belly, it's scary!" ”

Lu Zhufeng put the last piece of beef into his mouth at this time, chewed it, and swallowed it into his stomach, seeing that there was nothing to eat on the table, he said with some satisfaction: "That's all for today, it's considered full." The onlookers were dumbfounded. Bu Yuan hurriedly poured a cup of tea in the pot, handed it forward and said, "Brother, let's slip through it." Lu Zhufeng said "Thank you", took the tea bowl and drank it all, feeling that it was not happy enough, so he simply lifted the pot of tea, drank it clean in a few sips, and then patted his stomach, tilting his head casually, very pleasant. When Bu Yuan and Fang Guochuan saw it, they looked at each other blankly, they couldn't believe that Lu Zhufeng could eat so many things.

Lu Zhufeng said at this time: "The little brother has eaten, the two brothers are going to go on the road?" Fang Guohuan hurriedly said: "Don't be busy, don't be busy, don't sit still, so as not to bump on the horse and hurt your stomach." Bu Yuan said: "Reasonable, reasonable, brother, let's sit down and eat for a while." Lu Zhufeng said: "It's okay." He sat up straight, and said to the two of them gratefully: "In the past, except for a few times when I ate a tiger and a leopard, today is the fullest time, but in the future, if I can be full once a month, the little brother will be satisfied." Fang Guochuan sighed with emotion: "The virtuous brother not only has divine power, but also has the ability to eat gods, which is rare in the world!" In the future, it is enough to eat at every meal, otherwise it will be a sin for us to wait. Bu Yuan said at this time: "How long can my brother's full meal last?" Lu Zhufeng said: "It doesn't matter if you don't eat for three or two days, but the next meal is better than this." Bu Yuan said at a glance: "Every time my brother makes an amazing move, this is also a kind of magic skill released by herding cattle!" ”

At this time, three more guests from afar came into the store, asked for a table of wine and food, ate and drank, and after a few drinks, they chatted with gossip. A fat man said: "Have you ever heard that in Kaifeng Mansion, Henan Province, there is a famous chess player named Xu Dongzhou, known as the first chess king in Kaifeng Mansion." A few days ago, I don't know who lost a game in chess, I suddenly became crazy, beat people and destroyed things, I actually took things to vent my anger, I couldn't think about it for a while, I climbed on the thirteen-story iron tower of the National Temple, and I fell down and died, so it was tragic! Fang Guolian and Bu Yuan here were taken aback when they heard it. Another said: "Winning or losing in chess is also a common thing, why is it so stomachless, very narrow, it doesn't matter if you die, you have to be laughed at." The fat man said: "This matter is also a little strange, although Xu Dongzhou dominates Kaifeng Mansion in chess, but he has also lost to a few masters from other provinces who came to ask for advice, but he is happy to lose, defeated convincingly, and calls others brothers, I don't know why I can't think about it in this game of chess?" It's a pity that he has good skills. Another said: "I think he is still stingy, he has been defeated several times, and he has held some fire in his heart, but this time he finally couldn't bear it, and he broke out all of a sudden, and he felt so faceless that he was dead." ”

Fang Guochuan suppressed the uneasy premonition in his heart at this time, got up, and bowed to the fat man: "Excuse me, the Xu Dongzhou of Kaifeng Mansion that I said a few people said committed suicide after finishing the chess game against someone?" The fat man said, "Does the little boy also like to listen to anecdotes?" The details are not very clear below, and afterwards I heard Xu Dongzhou's wife say that it was two outsiders who came to compete because they heard Xu Dongzhou's chess name. It is said that the one who played chess with Xu Dongzhou was a strange old man, and he left after playing chess, and it was none of his business. When Fang Guohuan heard this, his heart was shocked, and he was shocked: "It's him!" It had to be him! He's really playing chess for the world. ”

Fang Guohuan thanked the fat man, and then turned around and said, "Brother Bu, Brother Lu Xian, we won't go to Suzhou, we will immediately change to Henan." Bu Yuan understood what Fang Guohuan meant, got up and said, "It's okay, it is expected that those two will not go far." Fang Guohuan went to settle the meal money, and worriedly went out of the Qingfeng Hotel with Bu Yuan and Lu Zhufeng. When Lu Zhufeng went out, he casually held his own bamboo pole, and at this time, the expressions of Fang Guohuan and Bu Yuan suddenly became serious, especially when he found that Fang Guohuan seemed to be unhappy when he was settling the bill with the store, and said with regret in his heart: "Yes, I ate so much in one meal, and the fixed fee went to a lot of silver, and after a long time, I will empty the money bags of the two elder brothers." Alas! How to give birth to such a large amount of food, make it difficult for the two kind-hearted brothers, don't let go of eating like this in the future, just forget if you can endure it, if you really have a short amount of silver, let the two brothers starve, it is really undeserved. Lu Zhufeng thought wildly, and followed Fang Guolian and Bu Yuan on the horse.

The three brothers were rerouted to Henan, and Fang Guolian was sullen and had nothing to say all the way. After a journey, Lu Zhufeng said apologetically: "Two elder brothers, just eat less at every meal in the future, don't be so dull, it really makes the younger brother feel sorry." Hearing Lu Zhufeng suddenly say such inexplicable words, Bu Yuan and Fang Guochuan were each stunned, seeing Lu Zhufeng's guilty and embarrassed look, Fang Guochuan was surprised: "Why did the virtuous brother say this? Can't you have a full meal? Lu Zhufeng said seriously: "It's all because of the little brother's belly that only fights for food, if he eats up the capital of the two brothers in the future, won't he starve and be trapped together?" When Fang Guolian and Bu Yuan heard this, they understood Lu Zhufeng's simple intentions, and Bu Yuan liked and said angrily: "You guy, you look at the two brothers as too stingy, even if you don't have the brothers to eat in the future, you will have to eat." If the elder brother loses his divine power because he can't eat enough and is hungry, the brothers will regret it for the rest of their lives. ”

Fang Guochuan shook his head and smiled: "Brother Shicai heard the whereabouts of the bad guy who harmed Mr. Qu, and when he heard that he had another disaster, he was worried and uneasy, where was he distressed about the silver." The virtuous brother will eat when he is full in the future, don't have any scruples, not only the first in the world in terms of divine power, but also the first in the world. Bu Yuan said with a smile: "As long as my brother is not a tuberculosis eater, he will not only eat well in the future, but also eat well with big fish and meat, and God has raised you as a master, but don't let your own skills be ruined because of the grievances of your brothers." Lu Zhufeng knew that he had misunderstood the two, and his face turned red and said, "I'm ashamed!" This kind of ability to fight for food and not fight for anger made the two good brothers smile. Fang Guochuan smiled and said: "Brother Xian's ability to eat sea, fortunately, it is not on the gourmand Zhao Mingfeng's son, otherwise no chef can wait for it, and Miss Han Xing'er will be scared away." ”

On this day, the three brothers have stepped into the border of Anhui. It was the height of summer, the weather was extremely hot, the sun was like a big ball of fire hanging overhead, almost breathless, the skin and flesh seemed to be cooked, and the horses of the three of them also walked slowly and weakly. Bu Yuan was worried at this time: "After delaying these days, the eunuch and the guard surnamed Yu don't know where they have gone. Even if we arrived at Kaifeng Mansion, we could only confirm that the person who played chess with Xu Dongzhou was this eunuch, and it would be difficult to find him again. Fang Guojian said: "The whereabouts of the two of them are secretive, erratic, I don't know where to look for it?" ”

Bu Yuan said: "That eunuch has become a character to play ghost chess and harm people, but wherever there is a good chess player, he will definitely hear the wind and visit, Henan and Anhui border, the eunuch may also come to Anhui again, looking for a famous chess player to fight chess." We might as well inquire first about where there are chess masters who have a great reputation, and go there to wait for the rabbit, maybe we can wait for the eunuch to come. Fang Guohuan was overjoyed when he heard this: "Good idea! I didn't expect Brother Bu to have such a good strategy. Bu Yuan said with a smile: "When I was hunting before, I often prepared some large pieces of meat in the forest to lure the big beast out and wait for the opportunity to hunt it, which often worked, but I regarded the eunuch as a beast, and waited for him to throw himself into the net." Lu Zhufeng said: "This eunuch is so hateful, just poke him to death with a bamboo pole when they meet." Bu Yuan said with a smile: "That monster has been handed over to your eldest brother to deal with, but it is enough for the elder brother to settle the guard surnamed Yu." Well, if I feel that something is wrong, I don't wait for the chess game to end, help Brother Fang Xian give the eunuch a pellet to eat, so as not to have any accidents, I will be fascinated by the eunuch's witchcraft on chess, and give birth to those scary things. Fang Guochuan smiled when he heard this: "Brother Bu's method is foolproof. ”

The three brothers traveled all the way, Bu Yuan inquired about several people, and asked if there were any well-known chess masters in Anhui, but those people waved their hands and shook their heads and said they didn't know, which made Bu Yuan so angry. Fang Guohuan smiled and said: "The so-called 'one flower and one world, a thousand leaves are like a thousand comes; Interlacing is like a mountain, and the skills are not dry. Brother Bu inquired about some merchants and farmers, they had no time to pay attention to chess matters, so naturally they knew less, Brother Bu might as well ask the kind of elegant reader, maybe he could find out something. Bu Yuanwen patted his head and realized: "Reasonable!" Reasonable! I said how to ask those people, like playing the harp to a cow, no one is interested! ”

The three of them walked again, and saw an old gentleman with a gentle demeanor and a servant taking refuge in the summer under the shade of a tree on the side of the road ahead. When Bu Yuan saw it, he said, "There is a door", so he led the horse to the nearest place, and bowed and said: "The old man is invited, inquire about something, is there a famous master in chess in this nearby prefecture and county?" The old gentleman looked up at Bu Yuan, Fang Guolian, and Lu Zhufeng, and said with some contempt: "It seems that several of them are also foreigners, and they have very little knowledge, and they don't even know the name of Mr. Bai Guangjingbai, the number one master in my Anhui chess track." ”

Bu Yuan smiled and asked, "I don't know where this Mr. Bai lives?" How high can you be? The old gentleman said a little proudly: "Mr. Bai Guangjing lives in Tongling, and it is a day's journey from here. It's a pity that when the Beijing chess test was first tried to win the national player, Mr. Bai unfortunately suffered a serious illness and failed to take the chess test, missing this great opportunity, otherwise the champion of this chess player must be Mr. Bai's, and now I don't know how many people feel sorry for Mr. Bai. Mr. Bai lives in Tongling to set up a museum to teach chess, sometimes there are chess masters from other provinces to find him to fight chess, Mr. Bai has never had a defeat, sometimes a happy, let the opponent two sons and three sons, but also won the convincing people, I can't wait to worship Mr. Bai as a teacher immediately, it seems that there is no opponent in the world. A few of you young people go to see Mr. Bai's demeanor, and this life is not in vain. When Fang Guohuan heard this, he was secretly surprised in his heart, knowing that there were really many masters in the world. Bu Yuan asked about the way to Tongling at this time, then smiled, thanked the gentleman, and the three brothers came all the way to Tongling.

On the way, Bu Yuan said: "If the white light scene of Tongling really has such a big chess name, the eunuch Li Wusan will definitely find it, and then he will be solved in Tongling, so as not to let the virtuous brother always worry about it in the future." Fang Guochuan said: "I hope so." "It was noon, the temperature was just right, and the weather was getting hotter, and the trees on both sides of the road were getting wilted, and there were fewer pedestrians on the road. Fang Guochuan suddenly saw a big grass pavilion on the side of the road not far ahead, and there were already five or six people in the pavilion at this time, so he couldn't help but say happily: "Brother Bu, Brother Lu Xian, let's go to the grass pavilion to avoid the heat before leaving." Bu Yuanxi said: "That's exactly what I mean." ”

When the three men came near, they dismounted, and tied their horses to the woods by the roadside to avoid the heat and graze. The three of them then entered the grass pavilion, and the pavilion was indeed a little cool, and when they saw that there were several simple benches for people to sit on the ground, the three of them looked for a place where the wind sit. At this time, the five or six people in the pavilion were lying or sitting to rest, and those people saw Fang Guolian, Bu Yuan, and Lu Zhufeng coming in, knowing that they were people passing by to escape the summer, and two of them nodded slightly to the three of them, but they never talked to each other, and it was too hot, and everyone was too lazy to speak. Fang Guohuan saw that these people were all dressed in strong suits, most of them were sturdy men, each with a sword at his waist, it was obvious that they were some characters walking around the rivers and lakes, and one of them was a thin person, sitting cross-legged on the ground, fiddling with something.

It was also Fang Guolian who sat closer, glanced at it casually, and his heart moved. It turned out that the man had laid a piece of silk cloth in front of him, and a chessboard was drawn on it, and the man was fiddling with black and white chess pieces at this time, as if he was playing chess at home. Fang Guohuan said in his heart: "This person is also interested, and he is not idle in this hot weather. It is also closer, and it is the nature of a chess player, Fang Guohuan took a few more looks, but found that the person was not really playing chess, but using chess pieces to arrange a regular chess shape on the chessboard. As if something was not properly placed, the man shook his head, reached out and messed up the chess pieces, picked up the pieces and put them back up. Fang Guohuan was stunned at this time, and he didn't know what kind of game the man was fiddling with chess pieces on the chessboard. At this time, the man arranged two long dragons, black and white, surrounded each other, end to end, and then the man evolved and changed several chess shapes with these two chess dragons. When Fang Guohuan saw this, he was very surprised in his heart, and found that this person was not playing any game with chess pieces, but deducing an esoteric formation, and seemed to be walking a game of chess.

At this time, the man seemed to have changed the shape of the chess piece to an incomprehensible place, and couldn't help but sigh lightly, shook his head and said to himself: "Once you get here, you don't know how to fix the shape, and if you don't change it properly, it will collapse in both strokes." Fang Guolian watched for a moment, and said in his heart: "And no matter what formation he is putting up or what game he is playing, if you look at it according to the chess situation, it is a wonderful game of double life and double death, it seems that this person can't recognize the position of this chess game for a while." However, this person seems to regard the black and white chess dragons as a family, and let the two sides cooperate more skillfully, as if it is the formation of a soldier. Thinking of this, Fang Guohuan was suddenly shocked in his heart, and said secretly: "If you use well-trained people to arrange a military formation according to this chess shape, according to the change in the chess situation just now, you will be invincible in the thousands of armies, I didn't expect that there are people in the world who are so proficient in the formation of soldiers." ”

At this time, the man shook his head again and muttered to himself: "Could it be that this page is missing from this book, so Sun really can't find the eye of the two dragon formations?" Where can this general be arranged, so that the two dragons will not be leaderless and defeated by the enemy with one blow? Difficult! It's really rare! Unless Sun Wu is reborn and fills this gap, he can bring these two dead dragons back to one. When Fang Guohuan heard this, he was surprised in his heart: "Could it be that this is Sun Wu's military formation?" There are only thirteen chapters of Sun Wu's art of war in the world, and I haven't heard of any military formations? ”

Fang Guohuan was puzzled for a while, and then thought: "This person has an elegant face, no villainous appearance, this chess shape is wonderful, he is stumped, and according to the way of chess, show him a son, and complete a double game." Thinking of this, Fang Guohuan got up and stepped forward, bowed and said, "In the country below, I have seen this gentleman." The man was stunned when he heard this, and looked up to see a young man passing by in the grass pavilion with the heat, and said in surprise: "I don't know what the son has to say?" Fang Guochuan said: "Mr. Shi Cai saw that he listed this wonderful formation with chess pieces, whether it was a soldier formation or a game, and found that this was a rare game of double life and double death in chess. "Huh?" The man was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly got up and saluted, "It turns out that Gongzi is a master of chess, disrespectful!" Disrespectful! I wonder if I can use a clever hand to revive this game? Fang Guochuan said with a smile: "I am not talented in playing, and I also know a little bit about the principles of chess, if Mr. has no taboos, he can live the overall situation in the game." ”

When the man heard this, he was immediately surprised: "I can't ask for it!" If this is the case, Childe is not only a master in chess, but also a military wizard! As he spoke, he hurriedly presented a black and white chess piece, and said, "Childe is invited, I don't know which color chess piece to use?" Fang Guochuan said with a smile: "This formation of black and white belongs to one family, regardless of whether it is the enemy or me, no matter what color of chess pieces it is, as long as it is a fierce general, it can suppress the corners of the formation and drive the changes of the whole formation." The man was stunned when he heard this, and wondered in his heart, "Who is this young man?" Unexpectedly, there are two ways of chess and soldiers? I really didn't know that Fang Guochuan had just seen the way out from the chess shape he was at his mercy.

Let's say that Fang Guolian took a sunspot casually and lightly clicked it on the chessboard. When the man saw it, he was stunned at first, and then he was pleasantly surprised: "Yes, yes!" This is the position, this is where the real formation of the two dragon formations is, Gongzi used his magic tricks to complete this formation, could it be that Sun Wu was reincarnated? This shout alarmed everyone in the pavilion. The man bowed deeply at this time and said: "Under Sun Qi, today I am fortunate to have Fang Gongzi solve this confusion for many years, I am really grateful, and I am worshiped by Sun Mou." Fang Guohuan hurriedly helped: "Mr. Sun, don't be polite, how to thank you for raising your hands." This array is wonderful, although it is a double dead and double live game, but it is very different from the dead and alive game on chess, if it is not for Mr. Sun to show it with chess pieces, in the next accidental touch class bypass, with the chess move point into a double live game, otherwise with the real person to form a military formation, in the next can not be recognized. ”

Sun Qi said: "Chess players, soldiers, chess masters and soldiers are really the same, and it is not surprising that Fang Gongzi made such a wonderful move." Fang Guolian said: "I have heard that the ancients used chess to seize and occupy the soldiers, it seems that this is the case?" Sun Qi said: "Yes, chess should be said to be a military matter, there are already ancient times." At this time, everyone in the pavilion came around, all of them were Sun Qi's brothers, greeted each other, and then sat aside, listening to Sun Qi and Fang Guolian talk about chess and soldiers.

Fang Guojian said: "How can Mr. Sun use chess to perform such a wonderful military formation? Sun Qi said: "Sun has been good at polemizing and talking about soldiers since he was a child, and he especially loves Bo and various military books, such as "Bai Qi Bing**", "Li Jing's Answer to the Debate", "Zhuge Art of War", and the most beloved is Sun Wu's "Thirteen Articles of the Art of War", which is regarded as the treasure of the soldiers, and can be memorized if you are familiar with it. Twenty years ago, I accidentally found a copy of "Sun Tzu's Soldiers' Chess Solution" from a collection of books sent by a friend's ancestors. Friends know that I like to talk about soldiers, laugh and give it away, and return to read, but see a book full of chess games. At first, he was puzzled, but then he accidentally realized that this was a strange and wonderful military formation that Sun Wu had evolved from the ever-changing chess situation. It's a pity that this book is missing a few pages, which makes some formations incomplete, such as the two dragon array schemas, and the position of the formation eye is missing. ”

When Fang Guohuan heard what Sun Qi said, he exclaimed: "Everything is the same! It is the most holy saying! The fact that the chess players are connected is enough to prove it. "The Art of War" is a good thing for the famous generals of the past dynasties, and this "Sun Tzu's Chess Solution" complements it and is actually obtained by Mr. Sun, which shows that Mr. Sun has a relationship with the soldiers. ”

Sun Qi said with a smile: "Although Sun likes to talk about soldiers, he doesn't want to see the war and killing, and he only has to do it as a last resort." In order to protect the family and the country, Sun selected 300 strong people in the township and practiced the military formation in order to protect themselves. After fighting with 2,000 bandits, he actually took advantage of the ingenious and flexible changes of the army formation, with only 300 people, and defeated 2,000 thieves, and the bandits began to end. Sun knew that the power of the army formation was really incomparable, but each group of soldiers needed a brave general to press the formation before it could be driven and fought in the midst of thousands of troops. Sun Qi then sighed: "A thousand troops are easy to obtain, but a general is hard to find, and there are too few generals who can drive the army formation and make it exert its maximum power." Fang Guochuan smiled when he heard this: "My two brothers, each with the courage to be unstoppable, can be generals." When Sun Qi heard this, he couldn't help but look at Bu Yuan and Lu Zhufeng in surprise, and saw that Bu Yuan was carrying a bag, revealing the bow body of a slingshot, whose bow body was thick and black and shiny, and it was obviously cast by strange iron. When Sun Qi looked at Lu Zhufeng again, he was a young man with a bamboo pole, like a shepherd boy in the countryside, no different.

Lu Zhufeng saw Fang Guohuan smiling at himself at this time, as if he was signaling something, he simply raised his hand, and the bamboo pole in his hand shot out, straight into a thick tree trunk ten meters outside the grass pavilion, the bamboo pole actually penetrated halfway, and the trunk was penetrated, but none of the leaves on the tree fell. "Good divine power!" When Sun Qi and the others saw it, they couldn't help but exclaim in unison. Sun Qi hurriedly got up and said: "It turns out that the three of them are all heroes in the world with unique skills, disrespectful!" Disrespectful! Fang Guochuan smiled and said: "Mr. Sun doesn't have to be polite, my virtuous brother is born with divine power, good at making bamboo, Mr. I'm not an ordinary person, so just show it, I have no other intentions, but I want to make friends with Mr." ”

Sun Qi said happily: "It's so wonderful, it's really an honor for Sun to have the honor to meet three chivalrous warriors today." Then he said to Lu Zhufeng: "Sun has a friend who is a master blacksmith, and he has a kind of stainless steel and heavy iron material in his house, which can be used to cast divine weapons. In the future, if the little brother has the opportunity to meet Sun again, he will definitely ask the blacksmith friend to cast a stainless steel heavy iron bamboo with such a bamboo appearance for you. When Lu Zhufeng heard this, he was overjoyed and said: "Thank you, Mr. Sun, I am used to making bamboo, but the bamboo is too light, and the heavier ones are too thick, and there has been no hand, if there is an iron bamboo, it is really good." Sun Qi said with a smile: "Today, Fang Gongzi has done Sun a great favor, and he will definitely repay you a stainless steel bamboo if he has the opportunity in the future." Fang Guolian also said to himself: "If my virtuous brother has an iron bamboo, he can beat the invincible opponent in the world." When Sun Qi and the others heard this, they were secretly surprised.

At this time, two people suddenly walked out of the woods on one side, and the two walked straight to the outside of the grass pavilion and saluted Sun Qi, one of whom said respectfully: "Master Sun, the brothers are all rested, can you go on the road?" Fang Guolian, Bu Yuan, and Lu Zhufeng saw it, and then they knew that there were still Sun Qi's people in the woods, and they couldn't help but be stunned and surprised, and they didn't know what kind of character Sun Qi was.
