Chapter 188: Soldiers Descend on the City
Hearing someone call him, Song Zheng glanced to the side of the road. I saw an old man, with gray hair and a ruddy complexion, wearing an old robe, squatting on a small bench, with a chess endgame in front of him. There were already two old men and a young child gathered around, pointing and talking something.
Song Zheng walked over and said with a smile, "Old man, are you calling me?" ”
The old man nodded and said with a smile, "This little brother, I see that you have a good temperament, you must have read a lot of books, and you should be able to play chess." Look, can you take care of my business? ”
Song Zheng glanced at the chessboard and felt a little strange. This endgame, against the red and black sides, is in exactly the same situation.
Below the chessboard, the black "general" is located in the middle of the bottom line of the middle palace, and the two red pawns are also located on the bottom line, separated from the "general" all the way. The other two red soldiers are located on the waist of the middle palace. There is also a red horse, hanging on the corner of the middle palace, just because it is pinned by its own soldiers, it cannot form a general. What's even worse is that on the other corner of the middle palace, there is also a red car.
On the other side, the same is true, four black pawns, a horse, and a cart surround the red "handsome".
Other than that, there are no other pieces on the board.
Although Song Zheng is only at the entry level of chess, he only knows that "the horse walks the day, the elephant walks the field, the cannon hits the next mountain, and the car walks away in smoke." Even so, this so-called endgame is too simple, and Song Zheng can see at a glance that whoever goes first wins.
Song Zheng didn't reply immediately, there are so many people on the street, this old man only called himself, and he was putting on a waste of the situation, what does it mean? Song Zheng glanced up at the old man, the old man had a kind face, a smile on his face, and he couldn't see anything unusual.
At this time, an old man watching chess next to him said, "Lao Tiantou, you have been playing chess on this street for more than a year, right?" How can you come up with such a simple scrap this time? Is there nowhere to spend the money? ”
Lao Tiantou said with a haha, "It's a little simple, but do you know how to break it?" ”
"How to break? If the red goes first, whether it is the red soldier or the red rook, whichever one is moved, the black general will be finished. Conversely, no matter which of Black's pawns is moved, or if the rook is moved, Red Shuai will also checkmate. ”
"Really? I'll take a look at it again. Lao Tiantou took a closer look again, as if he suddenly woke up, and patted his head, "Alas, I'm confused and have misremembered the chess game." This broken chess, just set it on fire! ”
As he spoke, Lao Tian stirred the chess pieces, and then put them away.
The two old men next to him laughed, "Lao Tiantou, don't burn it, if you don't play chess for a day, we will have a lot less fun." Come on, come on, put another one. ”
"Alas, I am old, and my eyes are dazzled, and I feel black and rumbling when I look at the sunspot, like in the middle of the night; Looking at the red zi, it was also blurred, like a chess piece on fire; There are also times when you can't even tell the difference between red and black, alas, it's really useless. The old man muttered, and put on another endgame at the request of his old friend.
This endgame Song Zheng recognizes that it is the famous "Seven Stars Gathering". However, the old man's muttering words made his heart move. He couldn't help but glance at Lao Tiantou again, but Lao Tiantou didn't look at him, still staring intently at the chessboard. He held two chess pieces in his right hand and kept turning them in his hand. It was a black "car" and a red "phase".
The corners of Song Zheng's mouth curled, and he asked Ming'er for a small silver ingot of one or two, and handed it to Lao Tiantou, "Old man, I know this endgame." However, I don't know. I'll think about it when I go back, get ready, and then ask your old man for advice. It's rare that your old man can afford me, so I'll give you this ingot of silver first, and then I'll ask your old man for advice when I have an understanding of the law! Intentionally or unintentionally, the word "one ingot" bites quite hard.
Lao Tiantou hurriedly waved his hand, "Little brother, why am I embarrassed to accept your money, didn't you pay it, no, no!" ”
Song Zheng pressed the silver on the black "pawn" in the endgame, turned around and led Ming'er towards the martial arts courtyard.
Lao Tiantou shouted two sentences in the back, "This little brother, it's true, I can't accept your money." How bad is that! ”
An old man next to him grabbed him, "This son looks like a rich man came out, since they gave it, you can take it!" The other old man grinned and said, "Old Tiantou, you have made a small fortune, and you want to invite wine at noon today!" ”
Song Zheng didn't pay any attention to the old men, but slowly paced towards the door of the martial arts courtyard. Ming'er was thoughtful, but there were many people on the street, so she didn't ask much.
After entering the Martial Arts Academy, Song Zheng did not go to the Mizhou team station, but went around to the stronghold of the Imperial City Division as if he was playing.
After entering the courtyard, I ran into Zhu Jian, only to see that he was cleaned up, his face was shaved, he was coated with a thin layer of powder, a headscarf was tied on his head, and he put on a scholarly shirt, and he was several years younger. At first glance, it is really a little similar to Wanyan Yusheng.
After seeing Song Zheng, Zhu Jian was a little embarrassed, "Little brother, I've never dressed up like this, don't laugh at my brother." ”
Song Zheng felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and found someone to be Yan Yusheng's stand-in, after all, this idea was his own, "Brother Zhu, where are you talking about this!" This is extremely dangerous, if you see that the situation is not good, dare to run tightly, and the little brother will definitely try his best to protect you. In fact, Song Zheng knew that although Zhu Jian's kung fu was good, if he faced the master of the assassins, he would hardly be spared.
Zhu Jian was a little moved, "Little brother, your eldest brother knows that you saved my life when I was in Mizhou." I'm also a person who has died once, and I won't disgrace the Mizhou Imperial City Division if I say anything. ”
Song Zheng sighed secretly, he suddenly understood that if an assassin really rushed into the house, Zhu Jian would not resist, because Wanyan Yusheng did not know martial arts, and Zhu Jian would also die in order not to show his stuffing.
"Brother Zhu doesn't have to be pessimistic, maybe there is nothing to do."
Zhu Jian thought that Song Zheng was deliberately calming his heart, so he waved his hand disappreciatively, "It's okay, it's okay, you're looking for the Great Commander, right?" The Commander is in the house. ”
Song Zheng nodded, he remembered Lao Tiantou's strange chess just now, and his strange words, and he had a little score in his heart.
Inside the house, Li Hongniang was staring at a bird's-eye view of the Four Transformations Inn, and looked carefully, there were many meters on it. Xiao Yuan stood on the side, holding two pieces of dim sum and a bowl of porridge, and persuaded, "Great Commander, you can eat some food, this porridge has been heated three times." ”
"Leave it aside, I'll see if there are any loopholes."
A voice sounded behind Li Hongniang, "It's not okay not to eat, 'people are iron and rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panicked', my sister will starve and lose weight if she doesn't eat, and it won't make people die of heartache!" ”
Li Hongniang looked back, Song Zheng had entered the house at some point, the corners of her mouth were upturned, and she was looking at her with a smile.
"Who am I, such a bold person, even I dare to make fun of it, it turns out to be you little guy." Li Hongniang's eyes were red, but there was a smile on the corner of her mouth. However, when she saw Ming'er behind Song Zheng, her face darkened.
"Song Zheng, don't you know the rules? How can outsiders bring in the stronghold? Aren't you afraid that the torture hall will pick your skin? ”
Each Imperial City Division has a torture hall, which is directly under the Grand Commander, and is specially responsible for interrogation, not only to try foreign enemies, but also to judge the faulty secrets in the Imperial City Division of the road. Lu Zhi and Jiao Han, whom Song Zheng had seen, belonged to the torture hall.
Song Zheng was not afraid of Li Hongniang's threat, "Who said that my girl is an outsider?" I came today to ask my sister to give me an identity. Ming'er's kung fu is not weak, and she has also done a lot of things for our Imperial City Division. Besides, I can be regarded as a team leader, and I should have the power to recommend suitable candidates. ”
Li Hongniang stared at Ming'er and asked in a cold voice, "Do you want to join the Imperial City Division?" ”
Ming'er was also stunned when she heard Song Zheng's words, but she also understood Song Zheng's intentions. Song Zheng had originally revealed the meaning of this aspect, after all, with the identity of the Imperial City Division, it was much more convenient to do things. So, she nodded.
In this matter, Li Hongniang seemed to be extremely serious, "Not everyone can join the Imperial City Division, do you know what the Imperial City Division does?" ”
"I've heard of it." Ming'er replied without humility or arrogance. She said in her heart, how can I not know the Imperial City Division of my dignified princess Qi?
"Song Zheng recommended it, there should be no problem with the background, as for the kung fu, I still have to see. Madoka, you went and dealt with this girl. ”
"Good!" As soon as Xiao Yuan put the rice in his hand on the table, he took the sword from the side, his face was indifferent, and he didn't have the appearance that Song Zheng had seen in the past.
I didn't mess with this girl, I saved her, why are you so energetic today! Song Zheng, who didn't understand, hurriedly said, "It's time to stop!" ”
Ming'er was also a little annoyed, bent down to pick up her clothes, pulled out the dagger-like short sword on her calf, and turned around and went out first.
Xiaoyuan is pretty, and Ming'er is even more beautiful. The two beauties fought against each other, which naturally caused a sensation in the yard. The more than 20 Imperial City secretaries who stayed here all gathered on the sidelines to watch the battle. Song Zheng and Li Hongniang also went out of the door.
Xiaoyuan and Ming'er stood two feet apart, and Ming'er hugged her fist according to the rules. Madoka replied with a grin, "Little girl, you have to be careful!" With that, he shouted and stabbed with his sword.
The two are of the same age, and Ming'er is even more annoyed when she sees that the other party has an arrogant attitude and calls herself a little girl. She was not polite, and her body also rushed out, and when the dagger intersected with the sword, she leaned to the side, and after passing the sword, the dagger slid against the long sword and slid towards the hilt.
Seeing this, Madoka flipped his wrist and twisted his long sword. Ming'er reacted very quickly, turned her body half a circle, and then leaned back, and at the same time her legs quickly split, so that after passing the sweeping long sword, the short sword hit Xiao Yuan's lower abdomen.
Madoka was startled. It was too late for her long sword to be withdrawn, so she hurriedly arched herself and reached out to grab the handle of Ming'er's short sword.
After training with Song Zheng for so long, Ming'er's body is also extremely flexible. After the attack was blocked, she twisted her body violently, and after getting rid of Madoka's hand, she continued to plunge into Madoka's lower abdomen like a drill, not caring about the long sword that Madoka was cutting.
If both sides succeed, Madoka will be stabbed in the lower abdomen, and even if she doesn't die, she will be seriously injured. Ming'er, on the other hand, will be slashed by a sword, and one leg will definitely not be saved.
It's no wonder that Madoka followed Li Hongniang, and after many battles, she naturally made ruthless moves. And Ming'er learned Song Zheng's self-created "Tai Drag Swordsmanship", although she didn't understand much Tai Chi techniques, she gained some essence in hand-to-hand combat. In addition, the two of them are fighting each other, and they are not welcome.
The people around were stunned, how could the two beauties be fighting, but they were desperate! (The plot is a little stuck.,It's okay.,It's an hour late.,,Hehe.,I'm sorry.,The next chapter is still tomorrow at noon.。 )
