Du Fengchi instructed the shopkeeper a few words, and left in a hurry. The shopkeeper had already collected the gold before, and now he refused to charge for the meal, so he asked a clever junior to lead the way. Sent them all the way out of the Linjiang Tower. When Miss Dezhuo walked out of Linjiang Tower, the carriage was already waiting at the door, and the guards were all on the horse and waiting.

Miss Zhuo suddenly thought of something and asked the shopkeeper: "In addition to the place to eat and drink, and the place to go out to buy things, what is the fun place in Yicheng?" ”

Yicheng businessmen gather, but in addition to eating, drinking and shopping, there are really not many places that can be said to be fun. The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and actually looked at the smart and clever Xiao Er on the side. Xiao Er said crisply: "Why don't you go to Hongyun Lane to have a look?" Today's battle building in Hongyun Lane is a monthly game of marching chess. I see that your guards are all masters of marching chess, miss......"

The shopkeeper interrupted Xiao Er's speech and said with a smile: "Hongyun Lane is indeed lively. More than half of the young people in Yicheng like to run and play the war building. However, miss, do you think you should go to the Xunfeng Pavilion to settle down first? ”

When she mentioned the Battle Building and the Marching Chess Monthly Tournament, Miss Zhuo noticed that the guards around her began to prick up their ears to listen. She smiled and said, "Let's go to Hongyun Lane and have a look." ”

Miss Zhuo turned to the guards and said, "Whoever lost the worst just now, take Qiao'er to Xunfeng Pavilion to settle down first, and the others will go together." ”

The guards responded enthusiastically, "Yes." And those who lost just now couldn't help but sigh. The shopkeeper hurriedly called Xiao Er to lead the way. Just now, Du Fengchi had already instructed him to satisfy this group no matter what.

Xiao Er trotted all the way, leading them through the downtown area. Although they don't want to attract attention, with the posture and temperament of these guards, they can't even keep a low profile. Manager Liu sat on the wheel next to the driving guard, and after the car started, he reported softly: "Du Fengchi was called away just now, saying that something happened to the Ye family. ”

Miss Zhuo groaned slightly and said, "Uncle Liu, send someone to take a look." This little young master of the Ye family is so interesting. ”

"Yes." Manager Liu replied, and then he waved his hand, and a guard rushed up. "Aerospace Qi, you go to the Ye family to see what's going on, and report back when you have news."

The group soon came to Hongyun Lane. Hongyun Lane is more than two zhang wide, and although it is full of people, it is not too crowded. It's just that in front of the Yi Zhan Building, the flow of people on the three floors inside and outside is gathered, and the door of the Yi Zhan Building is almost invisible. Hanging out of the doorway was a huge chessboard, and everyone gathered around it.

Xiao Er looked eagerly, then beat his chest and said: "Today it was Xie Xiaoyi who entered the finals of the monthly competition, and I knew that I would ask the boss for leave in the afternoon." Now I'm afraid I can't squeeze in to listen to the explanation. ”

A guard asked, "Is this Xie Xiaoyi very powerful?" ”

Xiao Er replied: "So that you adults know, just now I saw that all the adults used brass chess pieces and a folding chess box chessboard made of quince wood are the highest set. The adults are also very good at chess. But such a chessboard cannot be used by small workers like us. The villain also has only one set of pottery chess pieces and a bamboo chessboard. There is a very low fee for renting chess pieces on the chessboard in the game building, and those of us who like to play marching chess often come after work. But the practice is limited, and the chess ability is always not up, and when it really starts, it is always inferior to those teenagers with better family backgrounds. But this Xie Xiaoyi, like us, is also a small worker, and he still carries bags at the dock every day. To say that among the poor people in Yicheng, Xie Xiaoyi is a well-deserved number one master. ”

Marching chess is easy to learn and difficult to master, and is divided into two ways to play: two-way game and four-way game. Each side starts with a certain number of points, which can be exchanged for different types of class configurations. Some people like cavalry, some like infantry, some like mixed, some like specialization, and the captains of different classes also need different points to exchange, as well as different levels. The elite tactics and crowd tactics that evolved from this have their own characteristics, and even the generals in the army feel that the designers of marching chess must understand military affairs. Among these guards who came with them, there were really a few masters who loved marching chess. This Lu Dan, who is talking to Xiao Er, is one of them.

"What's the point of the explanation?" Rudan asked.

"Every time in the final of the monthly tournament, the chess pieces of the two sides of the game are immediately transmitted to the outside hall. Each time, there are two or more masters of marching chess, explaining to everyone why the two sides play like this, what are the advantages and disadvantages, and speculating on the advantages and disadvantages of both sides and what the next step will be. These explanations are very exciting, and many tactics that were not understood before were understood by these masters. Xiao Er said wistfully. It doesn't matter if the big chessboard is hung outside, no one explains, everyone is confused and just looks at it. It's okay that the level is high, but the chess stinks, and when you see the end, you can only know who loses and who wins, but you don't know why. ”

When he got closer and saw the name of another chess player hanging on the side of the big chessboard, Xiao Er was dumbfounded and said, "No wonder there are so many people gathered." It was Suo Zheng who played against Xie Xiaoyi. ”

Lu Dan asked: "This Suo Zheng is very powerful?" ”

Xiao Er said happily: "Suo Zheng's brother is the second senior brother of the Ye Workshop, and he himself is also a student of the Ye Workshop. Now several stewards of Ye's Workshop are busy getting the old man's house, and Suo Zheng is one of the people who want to come to Ye's Workshop to be responsible for making chess pieces. He's dealing with chess pieces all day. Suo Zheng's way of playing chess is whimsical, eclectic, and often makes strange moves. Everyone likes to watch him play chess, and the super human sea tactic that completely dislikes the captain is his first creation. ”

Lu Dan was stunned when he heard this. Although the march chess in the capital has gradually risen, it is by no means as lively as Yicheng to the point where someone can explain and broadcast live around the big chessboard, and as for tactics, it is "behind" Yicheng for several months. This sea of people tactic is already a rogue tactic that people in their army laugh at, and where does the super sea of people tactics come from?

"This marching chess is also the Ye family's business?" Xiao Erbazi didn't notice that the sound ringing in his ears came from Manager Liu. When Xiao Er and Lu Dan started a conversation, Manager Liu kept relaying the conversation between the two to Miss Zhuo. Hearing that this marching chess was also related to the Ye family, Manager Liu couldn't help but ask.

Xiao Er nodded vigorously and said, "Yes." The young master of the Ye family created the marching chess, and at the beginning, everyone only thought that the chess pieces were exquisitely made and regarded as a thing. Later, when it spread, everyone began to think that this marching chess was really fun. The Ye family has opened a game building, where you can rent chess pieces and chessboards, and we small workers and poor people can also play here, mainly because we can find opponents here at any time. The level stinks, no matter how rich his family is, it is a stinky chess. The rich family is poor, and it is the same when you get to the building. It's good for small people like us to have a set of pottery chess pieces to play, and those rich sons also have people who specialize in collecting brass chess pieces. However, the brass chess pieces carved into human shapes are indeed delicate and beautiful. I also have a brass crossbowman. There are also a lot of ways to play, there were only two people in the past, 4 people, and then someone came up with 3 games that don't help each other, and some people used many sets of chess pieces to put together for army fighting. Now there is a half floor on the second floor of the game building, which is reserved for the big fight gameplay. However, there are still a lot of two-person kills, and the game is also according to this rule. The 3rd floor is a place where you can choose good players to experiment with new ways to play, and it is said to be more exciting and fresh than the big fight gameplay. There are only six classes of ordinary gameplay: spearmen, halberders, swordsmen, archers, crossbowmen, and cavalry. It is said that there are now 19 classes of troops in the experimental gameplay on the 3rd floor, if it weren't for the fact that the little prince of the Ye family has been busy with the old man's house of the Qi family recently, it is estimated that there will be several more. Several young masters who are familiar with the Ye family are desperately urging it. However, it is not easy to go up to the 3rd floor. Not only must you play chess well, but you also need to be guaranteed by a reliable local family. ”

Lu Dan said strangely: "What do you have to do to protect when you play chess?" ”

Xiao Er said with a smile: "The chessboard on the third floor is a sand table made by Yicheng and the surrounding terrain. It was sent by the Governor Peng Detian, where new ways to play were studied, and there were people from the Yicheng General Military Mansion on the side to record them at any time. ”
