Chapter 014: A Game in a Dream

"Exactly, but that Ni Liang is also a fool with a stupid life, he once carried His Highness on his back in the Quanzhou Revolution for more than ten days to fight out of the siege, and was deeply respected by His Highness, leaving him and Quanzhou Yiyong and the remnants of the soldiers by his side. Ni Liang once beat Chen Xiang in public for the sake of fighting for ships, but he escaped with the protection of His Royal Highness. And this time he was sent to the epidemic ship because of the past, His Royal Highness learned about it and came to the rescue, and accidentally hit the ship and got on the ship to share the hardships with us. Zhuang Shilin pouted and smiled, he was a little convinced that he was sent by God to help them.

"Oh, I didn't expect His Royal Highness to be very old, but he is very righteous, and he did not hesitate to risk his life for an entourage, and he had a grudge with the prime minister of the dynasty, which is indeed rare." Zhao Mengjin said with appreciation.

"Alas, a child of His Royal Highness is a hundred times stronger than those people who are full of benevolence and righteousness in the court, but after all, he has no power or power, and we are offended by the ruling of the court, but I am afraid it will be difficult to shelter us and other thoughtful." Zheng Huchen was skeptical of Zhao Hao's ability.

"It may not have been possible before, but now it is possible!" Zhuang Shilin looked left and right at the two of them and said softly, "Liu Huang, Lord Liu is the governor of the court, and His Royal Highness has the grace of life for him, and he has the reality of a master and apprentice. Then His Royal Highness has strong reinforcements in the court, how can he sit idly by and ignore him when he has something to do. ”

"Well, with His Royal Highness's wisdom and ability, coupled with the help of the court, it will definitely become a great weapon in time, and it is not impossible to seal the territory in the troubled times, and the wealth is in danger, why don't we gamble!" Zheng Huchen pondered for a moment and said thoughtfully, and the other two also nodded heavily......

…………

Although the many islands, reefs and bays have weakened the impact of the wind and waves, the isolation ship is still swaying like a rippling swing, the hull of the ship makes a terrible creaking sound under the flutter of the waves, and the raindrops are more like arrows shot by a salvo of crossbows hitting the plank, making people feel that they will be smashed into pieces in the next moment.

Zhao Yu is also a person who has experienced wind and waves, he estimates that the wind is more than nine degrees, and even a 100,000-ton giant ship in modern times must be dealt with carefully, and enter the nearest port as soon as possible to avoid the storm. In this era, the thousand-ton class is already a 'giant ship', and such a big wind and wave is tantamount to detonating a nuclear bomb at sea, which is devastating to the ships stranded on the sea, and at this moment unless people's nerves are as thick as a wide strait, they really can't sleep.

Of course, Zhao Yu is not a real immortal, and he is afraid that his little life will be thrown here, so he naturally can't sleep peacefully, and even misses the big ship he guarded in his previous life, although he is lonely and lonely, he will not easily capsize! But he knew that it was impossible, but the more he did at this time, the more he had to find something to do, otherwise it would be even more difficult, and he happened to have the chess in front of him that he had never seen with his eyes.

After checking it, Zhao Yu found that the chess of the Song Dynasty was not much different from that of later generations, and it was also thirty-two pieces, with a river boundary, and it would be in the Nine Palaces, so the way to move should be similar. This thing has long been popularized in the streets and alleys in later generations, from retired old men to elementary school students with schoolbags can walk a few steps, of course, it was also one of the games to pass the boring time in Zhao Yu's previous life.

The years of guarding the ship are even more crazy for idle people, especially when he was just released from the detention center at first, Zhao Yu was lonely and helpless, and his future was bleak, especially the days of waiting for the verdict, panic has been with him, but no one has solved it. He only allowed himself to immerse himself in the online game room and play against people day and night, so as to relieve psychological pressure, so that he did not become a psychopath.

Zhao Hao's eyes turned around, Ni Liang was still guarding the hatch, his eyes closed and he was pretending to sleep, with a long knife next to his hand that he didn't know where to find it, always ready to fight with the Tartars who came on board. And Liu Huang was probably worried that the young Royal Highness would be afraid, so he never left, he leaned in front of the lamp and held a book and squinted at his presbyopia, and he didn't know what he saw, and he didn't seem to have any intention of chatting with him.

Zhao Hao's heart suddenly moved, and he didn't bother the two, he had a black left hand and a red right hand, and he used the technique of fighting left and right, and he fought with himself. On the two-foot chessboard, the soldiers came and went, the chariots and horses were crisscrossed, the guns and stones were flying, the intrigues and tricks, and the killing machine was every step, and he quickly immersed himself in it to the realm of selflessness, completely ignoring the storm outside the cabin......

"Good chess!" Liu Huang has been frowning, he is worried about the future of the Great Song Dynasty, and now the small imperial court has been in the center of the storm since its inception, like this ship, wandering around, unable to find a place to stay. However, when his eyes shifted to the chess game on several points, he was surprised to find that His Royal Highness was not afraid of the wind and rain outside at a young age, but had the heart to play chess.

Looking at the chess game again, Liu Huang also secretly exclaimed, His Royal Highness is a little younger, but his chess strength is calm and sophisticated, with a long-term layout in his left hand, hidden needles in the cotton, and strange tricks come out one after another; And the right hand opens and closes, killing decisively, without dragging mud and water. After killing with both hands for more than half an hour, he couldn't help but shout hello when his black-held left hand was settled with a 'heavy artillery'.

"Huh?! Lord Liu also plays chess? Zhao Hao, who was fascinated, was startled by Liu Huang's praise, he suddenly looked up and saw Liu Huang with shining eyes, and secretly screamed in his heart. From the old man's excited expression, it could be seen that he not only knew how to play chess, but must be one of the masters, but he still asked in vain.

"Hehe, the old minister knows a thing or two!" Liu Huang stroked his beard and said, with a hint of playfulness in his eyes.

"Alas, careless Jingzhou!" Although he had expected it, Zhao Yu was still annoyed, didn't the ancient scholars all play elegantly and like Go? I don't fucking know this chin thing, don't be in a hurry to eat hot tofu......

Speaking of which, Zhao Yu still knows too little about China's thousand-year-old history and culture, alas, but he can't blame him, and there are a few young people in modern times who can say it clearly. In fact, Xiangqi appeared in China during the Warring States Period, and after the development and changes of the past dynasties, it was basically shaped into a modern model in the Northern Song Dynasty. And this kind of game, which has been popularized on the streets in later generations, was definitely a lofty thing in ancient times, and was listed as the self-cultivation art of scholars and doctors.

By the Southern Song Dynasty, Xiangqi had become a 'household name' and became a very popular chess activity, and even in the 'Chess Edict' set up in the palace, Xiangqi players accounted for more than half, which was enough to compete with Go. The emperor likes it, and the ministers below have no reason not to learn, so many people in the court are fond of playing chess, and Zhao Hao is unlucky, and Liu Huang is also proficient in this way.

"His Royal Highness has exquisite chess skills, which national player in the palace did he learn from?" Liu Di didn't know what His Highness thought, and asked with a smile, he thought that His Highness had superb chess skills and must have been instructed by a famous expert.

"No, no one taught me!" Zhao Yu shook his head and said.

"Huh?!" Liu Huang looked at His Royal Highness's innocent little face and didn't seem to be lying, could it be that he was self-taught, it was even more unbelievable, so he asked again, "Then Your Highness must have seen the chess games hidden in the palace, I don't know which master left it?" ”

"Chess game...... Is there still a game for this? Zhao Hao asked with a puzzled face.

"Then how does Your Highness understand the art of chess?" Liu Huang is a little crazy, this kid doesn't even know what a chess game is, and naturally he hasn't read it, so he won't dream of learning it!

"Oh, since I left the palace, I have always dreamed of two old men playing against each other at night, so I have watched from the sidelines, so I have learned some fur." Zhao Yu said without thinking about the chess pieces.

"Watching chess in a dream?!" Unexpectedly, he was unfortunately guessed, Liu Huang only felt that the back of his spine was cold, and the demeanor of His Highness did not seem to be lying, but said casually, and the two completely different styles of chess on the left and right hands can be explained, "That...... What do the two old men look like, can you know their honorific titles? After thinking for a while, Liu Di realized that the strange thing that His Highness encountered might be the legendary 'Yu Xian', but this kind of thing is too suspenseful, and he has always been very disgusted with strange forces and chaos, but what His Highness said has a nose and eyes, not like it is choreographed, otherwise he would not blurt it out, so he plans to explore it again.

"An old man with a burly physique, wearing a yellow shirt and a golden crown and his hair, and his voice was so loud that I only let me call him Taizu; The other old man is a wooden hairpin, clothed and linen, with a bright face, a wide body and a fat body, Taizu asked me to call him Lao Zu. Zhao Hao replied.

"Taizu, Old Ancestor?! What do they call each other? Liu Huang seemed to think of something after hearing this, and asked anxiously.

"They call each other Mr. Sleeping and Mr. Jiuzhong, can Lord Liu know each other?" Zhao Hao asked with a raised face.

"Xiaguan...... I don't know the lower officials! Liu Huang saw sweat on his forehead when he heard this, and his face changed sharply. He had thought of two people just now, and what His Highness said at this time had been confirmed, but he didn't dare to say it. 'Jiuzhong' is the nickname of Zhao Kuangyin, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and sleeping on the old way is the common name of the world's ancestor of the immortal master Chen Lu, but they have been dead for more than 200 years, how did he meet.

But Liu Huang knew that these two people were very human, and Emperor Taizu went without saying that Chen Tuan's life span of one hundred and eighteen years old was enough to move the rivers and lakes, and he also left countless legends in his life......
