On the third day of the Lunar New Year, for ceremonial reasons, Shen Huan prepared some gifts and went to the county seat with Song Shi to pay New Year's greetings to Li Cheng. The two of them carried some local products from some villages, although they were not valuable, but they were enough to show their sincerity.

The two of them walked for more than an hour, Jiangyin City was already in sight, at this moment, Shen Huan and they passed by a group of special horse teams, most of this group of horse teams were composed of sergeants wearing armor and holding weapons, followed by a group of county officials led by Xing Zhutou. Looking at the large boxes dragging on the carriage and the dragon flags planted on them, Shen Huan immediately understood that this group of people should be related to the royal family.

Looking at this group of majestic sergeants, Song Shi asked suspiciously, "What are they doing here?"

"This should be a convoy of tribute to the royal family, which should be loaded with tribute, I heard when I was in the capital before, on the day of the sixteenth day of the first month of each year, hundreds of officials of the imperial court will worship the emperor in front of the Taiji Palace, and officials from all over the country will also present local tributes to the emperor, I think this should be a tribute prepared by the state capital for the emperor! Because they have to pass through us, Liu Zhixian will send Xing Zhutou and them to pick them up, and I guess they may stay here for one night today and cross the river tomorrow. ”

"I see, I thought something had happened again! Ignore him, let's go ours! After Song Shi finished speaking, he took another bite of the dishes that were packed home at the village banquet two days ago.

Looking at his expressions of enjoyment, Shen Huan couldn't help but smile, under normal circumstances, after hearing this kind of thing, many people would definitely be very curious about what these boxes contained, and what strange treasures and antique calligraphy and paintings would be inside! However, these things were like floating clouds to Song Shi, far less important than the food in his hands, and Shen Huan didn't know whether his sworn friend should be said to be ambitious or to say that he was heartless......

No matter how Song Shi is a person, there is one thing he is not wrong about! This kind of thing really has nothing to do with them! Even if these gifts are placed in front of him, he Shen Huan doesn't dare to take them!

Seeing Song Shi eating happily, Shen Huan couldn't help but say, "I said that you have eaten all the way, can you eat less!" When you get to Li's house, there must be a lot of delicious food! I see if you can eat it then! ”

This trick is really tried! Song Shi immediately stopped when he heard this, leaving the little space left in his stomach for the upcoming feast!

Due to the fact that their daughters married far away and their two sons became officials in other places, the Li family rarely had reunions in recent years. Although there are many servants in the family, Li Cheng and his wife still feel that the New Year is too lonely every New Year, so Shen Huan's arrival makes the couple feel very happy!

"Come and come, and bring something! Yo! This is a free-range duck in your village, right? It's a rare thing in town! Butler, get these two ducks to the kitchen, we'll eat this today!" ”

Looking at Qian Yi's noisy appearance, Shen Huan leaned beside Li Cheng and couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Li, why is Dr. Qian here with you?"

Li Cheng said with a smile: "I am friends with Zhongyang, and I specially called him to be a guest today, but it just so happened that you are also here today!" Don't look at him as a serious person on weekdays, he is actually an old naughty boy! ”

It turned out that Li Cheng and Qian Yi had known each other for a long time, Qian Yi liked to play chess in addition to studying medicine on weekdays, and the two met by chance at a chess club, and the two have become good friends since then. In addition, Li Cheng also told Shen Huan a little secret about Qian Yi, that is, although Qian Yi has good medical ethics, his chess skills are very poor......

Seeing Li Cheng and Shen Huan whispering there, Qian Yi couldn't help but ask them, "What are you two talking about?"

"It's nothing, we're just talking about playing chess......" Shen Huan winked at him after speaking.

Looking at the expression on Shen Huan's face, Qian Yi didn't know that he was sarcastic, "Don't be complacent, you kid!" Wait until you finish eating the duck and see how the old man teaches you! ”

In the afternoon, on the stone table in the courtyard of the Li family, Qian Yi and Shen Huan sat opposite each other, the black and white pieces on the chessboard had fallen a lot, and the chess game had reached the critical period of the middle game.

"This! Next this! ”

"You know the! Take a closer look, if I fly here first, this kid will come to break it immediately! There's a here! If you don't get these few seeds, they'll die! ”

"So what do you do? This horn is not guarded? Li Cheng couldn't help but ask.

Looking at the smile on Shen Huan's face, Qian Yi was silent for a long time, and finally made a decision, "Forget it, I can't bear the child to trap the wolf!" Give it to him in the lower right corner! I'll go into the middle palace first and enter this kid's hinterland, and see how this kid parries! ”

Lifting the sunspot in the box, he dropped the chessboard and continued to kill Shen Huan! As expected, when he gave up this corner, his chess pieces immediately became Shen Huan's meal, but Qian Yi was not discouraged, he knew that as long as he occupied the plate, then everything was still salvageable!

Qian Yi's sunspots continued to start enclosing the company commander, attacking Shen Huan's hinterland, and the form was very good! Looking at Shen Huan's tired of parrying, Qian Yi's heart couldn't help but feel a little proud, but just when he thought that the overall situation had been decided, he suddenly found that a white piece appeared on the chessboard of the next move! This move is a key part of your whole plan! But at this critical point, Shen Huan's white son had already fallen there! It's like a nail! Nail it there! Looking at the white seed, I don't know that Qian Yi has a bad premonition in his heart......

Soon his premonition became a reality, and Qian Yi found that his thinking had already been thoroughly explored by Shen Huan, and he had already fallen into his trap at the beginning! Because of the lack of this most critical move, his chess pieces are now unable to connect from beginning to end, from front to back, from left to right, and almost completely separated! After a few rounds, he was strangled by Shen Huan......

Seeing this, Li Cheng laughed heartlessly, "Hahahahahaha!" I'm laughing to death! You stinky chess basket! Wha!! ”

Qian Yi's face turned into the color of pig liver, and he threw the chess pieces and admitted defeat, "How can this be!" You must have cheated! Right! You must have cheated! Otherwise, how could the old man lose to a hairy boy like you! No way! This game doesn't count! Do it all over again! ”

"Old money, we're all watching from the side! My nephew didn't cheat, you can't say that because you can't afford to lose, do you? ”

Li Cheng's words made Qian Yi's old face red, but he still insisted that Shen Huan had cheated, and absolutely did not admit that it was because of his poor chess skills, and shouted that he wanted to play another game with Shen Huan!

However, history is always strikingly similar, and in the second game, when Qian Yi realized that he had fallen into the ditch again, he found an excuse to slip away...... It didn't appear until the evening when the meal was almost opened......

At the dinner table, Qian Yi said to Shen Huan: "Boy, we have a draw this afternoon, and we will have another game later, I must let you see how powerful the old man is!"

Draw? Shen Huan blinked, and then realized that Li Cheng would say that Qian Yi's chess skills were very poor......

Broken jars are not afraid of breaking, with a laipi, Qian Yi's chess products were completely exposed, and Shen Huan couldn't help but be a little annoyed by several regretful moves, so he no longer attacked so gently, and launched a fierce attack on Qian Yi step by step! This time, he didn't delay until the end of the game to decide the winner, but directly killed Qian Yi in the middle of the game!

Looking at Qian Yi, who was completely defeated by himself, Shen Huan quietly picked up the teacup and took a sip, after these several confrontations, he already roughly knew that Qian Yi's strength was only a little higher than that of beginners, and he was one of the best masters in the Go department when he was in college, and he also received special guidance from the national player teacher specially hired by the Go department, and also participated in the national competition on behalf of the school, and got the sixth place……

Looking at the situation on the chessboard, Qian Yi was silent for a long time, and only threw away the chess pieces for a long time, "This is too evil...... You kid can't read people's minds, can you? Why do you know what I want to do? ”

"Without him, only strong."

Listening to Shen Huan's stinky words and pretending expression, Qian Yi hated it so much that his teeth itched, this was clearly saying that he was stinky! However, he couldn't find anything to refute, even if he did it again, it was just repeating the same result, and in anger, Qian Yi shook his hand and left, completely lacking the demeanor that a medical person should have......

Just after nightfall, watching Xing Zhutou come back with a cold wind, Liu Zhixian asked him, "How is it?" Is everything done? ”

"It's all done! These people don't know what's going on, so they have to leave tonight, and wait for the Cao Yun ship to come to Beijing tomorrow. It's not too troublesome for the New Year! Xing Zhutou couldn't help but complain.

"yes, I think it's strange when you say that, there hasn't been such a thing in previous years? Could it be that there is something different about this tribute? I guess it's okay to hold such a big box...... Could it be that there is a stunning beauty inside? ”

Liu Zhixian pondered and couldn't help but think of his concubine, his unspeakable concealment has improved significantly under Qian Yi's treatment in the past few months, and his majesty is better than before! Half a month ago, he looked at his concubine's increasingly round body and had a strong premonition, he knew that he was probably going to taste the joy of life for an old man!

Just when Liu Zhixian was thinking farther and farther, a convoy escorted by sergeants also left Jiangyin City and gradually disappeared into the darkness......
