He Qingping held the chess pieces in his hand, facing the chessboard, a piece could not fall for a long time, he played chess steadily and steadily, and often had eight points to attack with a grasp of eight points, even Ning Xianghou commented that he was young and old, but often like this, he would lose a lot of opportunities.

He Qingping carefully examined the situation, at this time the west side of the chessboard has been firmly occupied by himself, but the foothold is not stable, if the next move is to take the defensive, the foundation is solid, but it will lose the first, but if he attacks rashly, some flaws will be revealed, he is very hesitant.

Ning Xianghou looked at He Qingping's expression, smiled slightly, remained silent, and waited for his decision.

He Qingping gritted his teeth, calculated carefully, and finally fell behind.

Ning Xianghou took a look, saw that He Qingping was finally on the defensive, smiled slightly, fell a son, and went all the way to attack He Qingping's hinterland, and the situation changed in an instant.

He Qingping was in a cold sweat, and he tried his best to save it, but he couldn't save the crisis of being overturned, and the chess momentum turned sharply, and finally He Qingping lost with three eyes.

Ning Xianghou took the chess pieces one by one and said softly, "Qingping, your plot layout and mid-game battle have already reached a certain level, but if I play chess with you, I can win at least eight out of ten games, do you know why?" ”

He Qingping still stared blankly at the defeated chessboard, and muttered, "I want to hear about it." ”

"Whenever it comes to the endgame, you cherish the small sections too much, and often lose the big ones because of the small. Calm and moderate is your advantage, but wealth and danger are sought, if you don't take some risks, how can you do great things? ”

He Qingping nodded, "When I first started learning chess, the teacher taught me that I should learn to compete for the first hand, and I would rather give up some small gains and losses, and the important thing is the overall situation. But Qingping's qualifications are reckless, and he can't learn after studying for so long. ”

Ning Xianghou shook his head, "This is not learned, it is realized by yourself." You're still young, and you have time. ”

He Qingping looked up and found that the teacher's sideburns had begun to dye white, he had indeed worked too hard over the years.

Ning Xianghou noticed He Qingping's gaze, comprehended, and said calmly:

"Thirty and stand, forty is not confused. I'm forty-one years old now, how can I not be confused? The world gave me the false name of one of the 'Four Sons', but the more I looked, the more I realized my shallowness. ”

"The teacher is humble, if Qingping can do something like the teacher, it will be in vain."

Ning Xianghou didn't speak, stared at He Qingping directly, and asked, "You really just want to be like me, and you don't want to go one step further?" ”

He Qingping's heart jumped when he asked this, and he didn't know how to answer.

Ning Xianghou did not embarrass the young man in front of him, and said, "Your eldest brother He Haochu just relies on the power of the Lu family and the identity of the eldest son, and he can't become a climate. Your fourth brother is Huaixin, and his writing is okay, but his essay is shuangquan, where can he compare to you? ”

He Qingping's heart was still beating, "There are so many brothers, how can it be Qingping's turn." ”

Ning Xianghou clenched a chess piece tightly, "It's man-made." Do you want our uncles and nephews to do a vigorous career together? Ning Xianghou's eyes warmed up.

He Qingping's heart sank, he had known Ningxianghou for a long time, but it was rare to see such an expression, he thought for a while, and said, "But according to the teacher's orders." ”

Ning Xianghou shook his head, "It's not that you don't listen to my orders, once you take this road, there is no turning back, it will offend many people, if you fail, if you want to get a knighthood and live this life, it is impossible, you must make up your own mind, if you just listen to others, it is destined to not go far." ”

He Qingping's eyes flickered, he remembered someone, and asked, "Can I answer you tomorrow?" ”

Ning Xianghou sat down a little longer, waved his hand and said, "Of course you can, it's because I'm too anxious." ”

He Qingping smiled, "The teacher takes care of Qingping so much, it is really a blessing that I have cultivated in several lifetimes." ”

Ning Xianghou looked at He Qingping carefully, and also smiled, "This is what you deserve." ”

Avoiding this topic, the atmosphere on the Canglang Pavilion that was about to freeze was finally relieved, Ning Xianghou looked outside and said, "The Qingcang Club has already begun, right?" ”

He Qingping nodded and blurted out, "According to the time, it should be the third step now......"

Ning Xianghou smiled and said, "I left you here, your heart has actually flown to the Qingcang Society, this is indeed a good opportunity for you." ”

He Qingping smiled stiffly and said, "It's okay not to participate in these virtual ceremonies, when the time comes, compared to real swords and real guns, you can do it." Just ......"

Ning Xianghou said, "You are only fourteen years old, when did you become so sloppy?" ”

He Qingping said, "Every conference is presided over by you, teacher, and if you don't go this time, your father may blame." ”

Ning Xianghou laughed, "You still don't know your father, you two actually have something in common, even if you have an idea, you will hold it in your heart and won't say it." And the Imperial Brother will know what I think, I just don't want to see that Lu madman, at least not on that occasion... I'll pull you to accompany me to relieve my boredom. ”

But He Qingping knew that things were not so simple, at this juncture, Ning Xianghou pulled himself to play chess in such a secluded place, there must be something important to say, he saw that Ning Xianghou had not continued to talk about the matter of Qianran Underground Palace, thinking that he had forgotten, and finally couldn't help but open his mouth to ask.

Unexpectedly, Ning Xianghou never forgot it, but took the lead in bringing up this topic, "You must seize the opportunity to go to the Qianran Underground Palace this time." ”

He Qingping didn't ask why, for so many years, every time Ning Xianghou came up with a conclusion, he wouldn't ask why, he just raised his head and showed a puzzled expression, if Ning Xianghou said the reason, he would listen, if Ning Xianghou didn't say it, he wouldn't ask more, just do it, this is what Ning Xianghou is most satisfied with him.

This time, Ning Xianghou slowly talked about the reason, "In that year's Qianran Meeting, I also entered the underground palace, and the identity of the double champion of civil and military affairs, it can be said that the vanity that young people can get, I got it at that time." ”

Ning Xianghou's voice was a little lighter, and he seemed to recall many years of his youth.

He Qingping said "um", did not interrupt Ning Xianghou, listened carefully to Ning Xianghou's story, the Canglang Pavilion at this moment was surprisingly quiet, and even the sound of fish swimming in the lake seemed to be heard.

"I entered the Qianran Dungeon, there are indeed many tests in it, I won't tell you about these, it should be no problem to deal with it with your ability, go through some by yourself, and add some experience. I'm going to tell you about the sixth floor! ”

"The sixth floor?" He Qingping had never heard about the internal structure of the Qianran Underground Palace.

Ning Xianghou said slowly, "There are a total of nine floors in the Qianran Underground Palace, but the bottom layer, no one has ever been there, and it is already good for ordinary people to enter the third layer, I almost fought half my life before entering the sixth layer, do you know what I saw there?" ”

Back then, the Marquis of Ningxiang saw Emperor Gao's shadow in the Qianran Underground Palace, and it was almost known to everyone, but He Qingping was not impatient at all, and still patiently replied, "As far as I heard, you saw Emperor Gao's shadow inside!" ”

"No!" Ning Xianghou directly interrupted him, and his voice suddenly burst into a trill, "I saw the living Emperor Gao inside!" ”
