It's already the end of October, the sky is overcast, and there is always a cold breath floating in the air.

Therefore, in such weather, the most comfortable place is to sit next to the fire, while being smoked by the charcoal fire, while holding a book slowly, drinking tea and reading, it is undoubtedly the most refreshing enjoyment.

However, in such weather, someone erected a thatched house on the open space in front of the Chang'an School Palace.

The dilapidated thatched house, abruptly supported in front of the door of the school palace, compared with the magnificent school palace next to it, immediately seemed indescribably incongruous.

As a result, this thatched house attracted the attention of countless people in Chang'an for a while, and became a conversation among Chang'an people after tea and dinner.

Of course, what can attract the attention of Chang'an people is not only the incongruity of this thatched house, but the owner in this thatched house and the chess game in front of the thatched house.

In fact, this thatched house is indeed a little different, because the person who built this thatched house was not a Tang Dynastyman, but an envoy from the distant Wa Kingdom, a pharmacist named Huiri.

However, the people of Chang'an were not very impressed by this Huiri's medical skills, but they were quite impressed by this Huiri's chess skills.

Without him, just because in the past three days, almost all the teachings of the school palace have been defeated by this Huiri's men, and it feels like this Huiri's Japanese people have lost face in the entire school palace.

This is the first embarrassing thing encountered since the construction of the Chang'an School Palace!

Chang'an Academy is the highest school in Datang and represents the future of the entire Datang.

Therefore, since the completion of the Chang'an School Palace, whether it is the people below or the upper-class people, they have invisibly regarded the School Palace as a sacred place.

And yet now. Just because a pharmacist from the Wa Kingdom suddenly appeared, he actually lost face in the school palace, which made the people of Chang'an feel indignant.

So, these three days came. It's not just the people, who are looking at the movement in front of the school palace, but also the people above are also silently watching and wanting to take a look. How can the school palace save this embarrassing situation?

"After all, it's a chess mistake!" At this time, just outside the thatched house, Lao Li Gang stared at the black chess pieces on the chessboard, and after being silent for a long time, he looked up to the sky and sighed, threw a black piece in his hand on the chessboard, and said regretfully.

"The old gentleman's chess strength is already quite powerful!" The Japanese man named Huiri is the old man who accompanied the envoy. At this time, seeing Li Gang admitting defeat, he immediately smiled and spoke.

"Defeat is defeat!" When Lao Li Gang heard this, the person who was originally looking down at the chess game suddenly raised his head, looked at Hui Ri and said, "Wait for the old man to go back, think about it again, and fight again tomorrow!" ”

After Li Gang said this, he beckoned to Wu Bi who was following him. Then, with the help of Wu Bi, he pushed the wheelchair towards the school palace, with the expression on his face. I didn't seem disappointed at all because I failed again.

"Then here, I will wait for the old gentleman!" Hui Ri behind him, the person who was originally sitting on the chair, immediately stood up when he saw Li Gang turn to leave. Facing Li Gang's back, he bent down ninety degrees and said.

"It's not possible, the reputation of the school palace is really going to be planted in the hands of this Japanese people this time!" At this time, in Li Gang's room, the teachers and practitioners of the school palace were basically there, listening to the news that Li Gang had just returned again, they suddenly frowned, and said with a long sigh.

Among the few people seated, Li Gang is the one with the highest chess strength, followed by Pei Lian'er, and then the next is the public loser, as for Zhao Chen, he doesn't know anything about Go at all.

In fact, the Japanese people outside the door, the chess strength may not be seen, how great it is, it is estimated that any chess player on the Confucian side can kill the Japanese people, leaving no piece of armor.

But the problem is that this time the Japanese people are targeting the Xue Palace, not the entire Tang Dynasty, so in such a situation, outsiders want to intervene, and it is not good to intervene directly.

From beginning to end, it's a dead end, and the only one who can break the game is the school palace itself.

It's a pity that there is no such chess player in the school palace, Li Gang has spent his whole life in the book of sages, and he can compete with Huiri of the Wa Kingdom for hundreds of ways, which is already extremely powerful.

And Pei Lian Lao'er, all the energy in this life has been put on the court, and he has played the balance of the court, but unfortunately, for the black and white chess pieces, he has also stopped at the point of cultivating sentiment.

Not to mention the public losing fight, half of his life, he has been studying the way of things, and the chess skills he knows are still forced by the ancestor to let him learn quietly when he saw that he was about to go crazy.

On weekdays, it is already good to have a good relationship with Pei Lone, but it is difficult to get into the hall of elegance at all, at this time, naturally you can't count on it.

As for Zhao Chen, he can't be counted on anymore, in chess, Zhao Chen can still pretend to be, but when it comes to this black and white twin, in Zhao Chen's eyes, it is just a backgammon.

"If you want to do what I mean, then just ignore it!" Looking at the room full of people, all of them sighed for a long time, Zhao Chen suddenly couldn't help but shrug his shoulders, and said with an indifferent face: "Let's learn the palace, it's not a chess and card room, if people want to play chess, we have to play with him!" ”

In fact, what Zhao Chen can't understand the most is this, isn't he a Japanese who has a bit of chess skills, if he is willing to wait outside, then just wait, and care what he does.

If so, he wants to jump and challenge the school palace or something, and run away with a stick, it's really for him to get used to, he came to Chang'an, and he still thinks he is in the Wa Kingdom, doing whatever he wants.

It's a pity that from the day the Japanese people moved into the thatched house, Lao Li Gang not only sent a stove to the Japanese people, but also sent people to send three meals in the morning, noon and evening.

That's it, actually, I was afraid that Zhao Chen would secretly make a move, so I gave Zhao Chen an early morning and warned him in private, if Zhao Chen dared to stumble on the Japanese people, he would immediately roll up and leave, and he didn't plan to continue to be embarrassed here.

The most infuriating thing is that not only Lao Li Gang's attitude, but even Pei Lian, a black-bellied old man, is rarely absolutely consistent with Lao Li Gang's thoughts.

"The old man is suspicious, whether you are from the Academy Palace or not!" Hearing Zhao Chen's words, where was the original bowed head. Lao Li Gang, who frowned and looked at the chessboard, raised his head, looked extremely disappointed, looked at Zhao Chen and said, "This matter is about the dignity of the school palace. Don't you care! ”

Hearing that Lao Li Gang had raised the matter to the point of dignity of the Xue Palace, Zhao Chen immediately lowered his head and stopped talking. It is estimated that if he continues to talk, Lao Li Gang should be heartbroken by him.

For the sake of a Japanese national, it is really not worth it to make Lao Li Gang angry!

It's just that although he didn't speak, he didn't necessarily agree with the strange thoughts of Lao Li Gang and others, and he was still not salty or indifferent to this matter in his heart, and he loved to stay there, so he stayed there. As long as you don't take the initiative to cause trouble, you'll be fine.

Still as usual, go home and come to the school palace, but whenever I go home from school, I will always meet the Japanese man outside the school palace, standing there from a distance, and bowing down to him ninety degrees.

In this regard, Zhao Chen ignored it, and he didn't bother to give it with a cold face. stepped directly on the carriage of Muqiu and went straight to the Hou Mansion of Xinghuafang.

Hu Lu, who had been in Mobei for several months, was finally summoned back by Li Chengqian's great summoning technique. When Zhao Chen came back from the School Palace, Hu Lu, who rushed back from Mobei, was already waiting in the hall of the Hou Mansion.

"This time it's the prince's intention!" In the hall of the Hou Mansion, Zhao Chen, who had just finished washing, sat on a Taishi chair, holding a cup of hot tea. looked at Hu Lu on the opposite side and said, "So, this time Jianghuai matter, you can do what you can!" ”

"Then what does Master Hou mean?" Hu Lu sat opposite Zhao Chen, listening to Zhao Chen's words, he couldn't help frowning slightly and asked.

This point is particularly important, for Hu Lu, Zhao Chen's opinion is far more important than Li Chengqian's meaning.

If Zhao Chen is unwilling to let him meddle in Jianghuai's affairs, Hu Lu will have many ways to refuse Li Chengqian's summons, and moreover, on the premise of not offending Li Chengqian.

"It's your chance!" Zhao Chen sat there, looked at Hu Lu opposite, frowned slightly and said: "On the prince's side, there is always a long-term cooperation, and this cooperation is a start!" ”

There are some words, you don't have to say them on the table, Hu Lu is also an extremely smart person, as long as Zhao Chen wakes up, what to do next, Hu Lu will naturally understand in his heart.

"What Master Hou meant, Hu understands!" Sure enough, hearing Zhao Chen's words, Hu Lu suddenly looked at Zhao Chen and said with a chuckle.

"It's good to understand!" When Zhao Chen heard this, he nodded slightly, and then looked at Hu Lu and said: "Jianghuai, you can also invest a little bit in this time, and you will definitely gain a lot in the future!" ”

"Thank you Master Hou for your advice!" Since Zhao Chen said that there will be a big harvest, then there will be a big harvest, Hu Lu heard Zhao Chen's words, and immediately nodded and agreed.

"When are you going to leave?" After talking about the specific things of Jianghuai, Zhao Chen looked at Hu Lu and asked.

"Tomorrow and tomorrow!" Hu Lu smiled at Zhao Chen and said: "The prince's meaning is that the sooner the better, and when the matter on Hu's side begins, once it is implemented, Chang'an will also speed up the process!" ”

"That's right, Master Hou!" When he said this, Hu Lu seemed to remember something, and suddenly looked at Zhao Chen with some embarrassment and said: "This time, Hu brought back a person from Mobei, and wanted to ask for a favor from Hou Ye, I don't know if Hou Ye can be satisfied!" ”

And when Hu Lu said this, the kitchen located in the Hou Mansion, at this time, was already crowded with people, scrambling to crowd at the door, pulling the people in front of him, looking at the scene inside in surprise, and letting out exclamations from time to time.

And following everyone's gaze, when they looked into the kitchen, they saw that on the round table in the kitchen, there was a young man sitting at this moment, about twenty years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and a very strong appearance.

It's just that what attracts the attention of a large number of people is not the man's appearance.

Instead, on the round table, the dishes that had been emptied by the man were a large stack, just looking at it, it was jaw-dropping, not to mention, it was still eaten in one go.

"Still?" The fat chef of the Hou Mansion has become numb, and his heart has long been aroused by this man's curiosity, but he wants to see how much this man can eat before he can stop.

"And also!" When the man heard the chef's words, he barely thought about it, nodded to the cook, pointed to the empty bowl in front of him, and said, "Just a few more bowls of noodles like this!" ”

Inside and outside the kitchen, everyone who heard this man's words couldn't help but gasp at this moment, this was probably the first time they had seen such a freak who couldn't eat enough to live so big.

Where is this person, it's just a living rice bucket! (To be continued.) )
