Chapter 63: Salute before Soldiers

Back mountain gazebo.

Li Jingsi dropped the chess pieces in his hand outside the chessboard, arched his hand and said: "The skills are not as good as others, and I am willing to bow to the wind." ”

When literati played Go, it was taboo to say the word "admit defeat" from their mouths, so there was a saying that they would admit defeat.

Li Jingsi's approach just now was to vote, which is a more elegant way to admit defeat.

Throughout the ages, chess players have had different personalities, and there have been cases of overturning the chessboard or grabbing a handful of chess pieces and throwing them in the opposite face.

The consequence of this is that you lose both chess and character.

Hundreds of years ago, the Dragonfall Continent was not a three-legged situation, and many small countries were still surviving.

One of them was a place called Ryusuguo, and the monarch was very fond of playing Go, and he heard that there was a long-established great player in the Northern Confucian Kingdom, so he sent someone to invite the great player to come and talk about a few games.

Unexpectedly, the monarch lost seven games in a row, and finally his temper came up, and he directly grabbed a chess piece and threw it in the face of the great player of the Northern Confucian Kingdom, scolding: "Dare to win me?"

At that time, the great power of the Northern Confucian Kingdom did not get angry, but only said that he was ill and returned to the Northern Confucian Kingdom overnight.

Soon after, the emperor of the Northern Confucian Kingdom gathered 500,000 elite soldiers to attack the Longsu Kingdom on the charge of insulting his countrymen.

In the end, when the country was ruined, the monarch sighed alone: "I lost the country because of chess, and I regret not being at the beginning." ”

So much so that later, 'losing the country because of chess, regretting not being at the beginning' has become a wake-up call that has been circulating for many years.

Li Jingsi categorically couldn't do such a stupid thing.

What's more, when he was still serving in the household department of the capital, he had already heard many deeds of Chongyang.

Among them, the most widely spread is that this young sword immortal has destroyed two demon sects one after another with his own strength.

Even if Li Jingsi was given 10,000 guts, he didn't dare to overturn the chessboard or throw the chess pieces.

After Chongyang won the chess game, he did not have any smugness.

I saw him gently twist a chess piece in his hand and asked, "Master Li, when do you plan to build that important military town?"

Although Chongyang is not optimistic about the plans of the Northern Confucian Emperor, it is much better to make a difference than to be killed.

Previously, Master Chen Taibai had used the technique of Mirror Flower Water Moon to show him and his senior brothers and sisters the entire process of the Barbarian Demon Clan's attack on the Great Wall.

No matter how many times Chen Taibai deduces, it is the end of the Great Wall being broken by the barbarian demon clan.

Since this ending is destined to be unchangeable, it is particularly important to build a military town behind the Great Wall to block the southward movement of the demon clan.

Li Jingsi did not intend to hide anything from Chongyang in this kind of matter.

After all, he had now signed a cooperation agreement with the God Slaughter Sect, and Zhenlong Mountain was not far from the Great Wall in the north.

At that time, as long as the Chongyang Imperial Sword flies over, it will be able to see all the actions of the Northern Confucian Kingdom in a moment.

So he replied 1510: "The imperial court has transferred three hundred Mo monks from the Xue Palace, one to Zhenlong Mountain, and the other to the Great Wall in the north. Among them, the first group of people is mainly responsible for building side halls and academies for you, and the latter group is responsible for building a military town comparable to a county town in the most suitable place. ”

In the school palace of Northern Confucianism, there is not only Confucianism, but also Buddhism, Taoism, soldiers, Mohists, Zonghengjia and so on.

Since ancient times, the palace has been a place where hundreds of schools of thought gathered, and all schools of thought were free to express their opinions.

It's just that the Northern Confucian Kingdom has always taken Confucianism as the foundation of the country, so the Academy Palace has always been a situation where the Confucian family dominates.

And since the establishment of the school palace, the big sacrificial wine that is responsible for the management of the school palace has always been held by Confucian saints.

Fortunately, the Confucian sages have never been biased in treating the rest of the princes, so the sons and families have always been at peace with each other and concentrated on studying in the palace.

This time, the emperor of the Northern Confucian Kingdom recruited 300 Mojia monks at once, and the great sacrifice in the palace was very meritorious.

Unexpectedly, Chongyang said lightly: "I'm afraid it's not only that." ”

Li Jingsi was suddenly embarrassed, and said with a wry smile: "Originally, as long as fifty Mo family monks, they could help your God Slaughter Sect build a side hall and academy. But some time ago, His Royal Highness suddenly found me, and insisted that I ask His Majesty for fifty more Mo monks to build a palace on the bird's-eye peak. There was no choice but to risk losing his head and put forward this excessive condition to His Majesty. Fortunately, His Majesty has always favored His Royal Highness the Third Prince, and directly agreed to this request. ”

Chongyang nodded, which dispelled the doubts in his heart.

When he traveled down the mountain, he had learned a little about the Mohist monks and knew that they were extremely good at fortifications.

In particular, he is very familiar with large projects such as building palaces and towns.

It's just that he roughly estimated that it would only take more than 200 people to build a military town and a side hall and academy of the God Slaughter Sect.

However, the imperial court sent a full 300 Mo monks, which made him feel a little uneasy.

But after listening to Li Jinghong's explanation, he understood the reason.

Chongyang said very seriously: "Lord Li is really a good official who fulfills his duties, and the Northern Confucian State has a courtier like you, which is a blessing for the people." ”

Li Jingsi is not a stupid person, so he naturally knows that Chongyang is not praising him, asking for fifty more Mo monks for His Royal Highness.

He clasped his fists and said, "The Barbarian Demon Clan is menacing, and a great wall alone can't resist their southward footsteps. Therefore, it is imperative to build a military town that can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people. Only in this way can we protect the long-term peace of the Northern Confucian Kingdom. ”

"It's a long time of peace, I hope Master Li can make his wish come true. ”

"Thank you Chongyang Sword Immortal and Sect Master Li for giving the Northern Confucian Kingdom the opportunity to build a military powerhouse. ”

Chongyang smiled and played: "Heh, what if I don't give you a chance, the result is not the same? ”

Li Jingsi looked embarrassed and said, "Where, where." ”

"Little Senior Brother!"

Li Jinghong's timely appearance broke the awkward atmosphere in the gazebo.

"Chongyang Sword Immortal, since Sect Master Li has something to look for you, then I will leave first and leave. ”

Li Jingsi hurriedly took this opportunity and got up to leave.

When he walked out of the pavilion, this waiter of the Northern Confucian Rite Department did not forget to say goodbye to Li Jinghong.

Li Jinghong walked into the pavilion, sat opposite Chongyang with a big grin, and told the little scholar that he wanted to worship him as a teacher.

Chongyang picked up the chess pieces on the chessboard and said at the same time: "Although the little guy was born with a condensation realm, his realm is unstable, and his physique is ......weak."

Li Jinghong interrupted him and asked directly: "Little senior brother, you just say whether to accept it or not." ”

At this time, he had a posture that Chongyang would not accept this apprentice, and he would be splashing and rolling.

Chongyang coughed lightly, changed his words, and said: "However, this little guy is in the purest state of mind, and he is a good seedling for learning swords, I can accept him as half a disciple." ”

Li Jinghong slapped the table and said with a smile: "Okay, then it's decided." ”

Unexpectedly, Chongyang suddenly asked a clueless word: "Are you ready?"

Li Jinghong replied with a hippie smile: "Little senior brother, don't rush, let me stay for a few more days." ”
