Chapter 12 Chess Meets Opponents
(The second update, the recommended votes are smashed up, everyone)
The life in Hangzhou is leisurely and lazy, which is different from the busy bustling and lively Bianliang, and the afterglow of the predecessors is just right to retain the next Wei and Jin style. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info there are magnificent scholars walking across the stone bridge, there are also fishermen sitting quietly on the awning boat, and cormorants flapping their wings lazily beside him.
Compared with the spring breeze ten miles, Yangzhou, the famous capital of Huaizuo, as well as the Jinling of Taicheng painting willows and smoke cages ten miles of embankment, Hangzhou seems calm and tranquil, just like the graceful eyes of the autumn water of the West Lake, and the white wrists of the lotus-picking woman.
Chen Zhongqing's life is not worrying, but he always needs to take precautions. In just one day, I ran through all the streets and alleys near Tsing Yi Lane, recorded the layout and situation of each street in detail, and after returning home, I spread out a piece of rice paper on the table and recorded the layout in my mind one by one.
There is a turn in how many steps, where there are abandoned houses where people can hide from people's eyes, and where the remote alleys lead. The rice paper is clearly depicted, and then several escape routes are designed for different situations.
He always remembered one thing, he was a fugitive from the east window that had not yet happened, and he was not a master who was hidden in the world. The situation in Bianliang is now turbulent and uncertain. In case the deeds behind the Chen Mansion are discovered by the deputy envoy of the Privy Council or the people of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, although he escapes from the Chen Mansion, Hangzhou City will definitely not be able to hide.
When necessary, inescapability is the real theme of life. Fleeing incognito, Chen Zhongqing even considered going south directly in the direction of Dali and leaving the Jin Dynasty.
After finishing the work, Chen Zhongqing wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, placed Qiuhao on the inkstone, and slowly exhaled.
On another table, lime, sulfur, charcoal and saltpeter were placed. Lao Jia carefully put the lime into a splendid carved sachet, then tightened the gold thread on the cuffs, tied it tightly, picked it up, shook it, and then handed it to his young master after confirming that it would not leak out.
Lao Jia shrunk his sleeves, pinched a handful of snot, grinned and said, "Oh, young master, be careful, if this lime gets into your eyes, you can't get wet, you have to wipe it with oil." And the young master, you said that the humidity is so heavy on this day that the sulfur and charcoal will be damp. I don't think it's good for you to put it away. ”
The lime bag is a thing used by the Yin people, and when he can't beat the martial arts or the Imperial City Division, the next three indiscriminate methods are often more effective.
Chen Zhongqing pointed to the lime in the half-linen bag and said, "Lao Jia, don't talk nonsense, you quickly wrap the lime and stuff it into the jar." Put it on a wooden cabinet so that it is not easy to get wet. ”
Lao Jia held a palm-sized wine jar in each hand on the left and right, and carefully placed the young master's "little invention" on the top layer - since he had seen the explosion effect of the things inside in the courtyard, he didn't dare to underestimate Chen Zhongqing's strange skills. He also sealed the mouth of each jar, for fear of being accidentally splashed by sparks and turning into a sieve on the spot.
Just a small handful of black powder, combined with broken pieces of iron and pottery, can burst out with terrifying power. The debris from the explosion was embedded directly into the trunk of an ancient tree in the courtyard, and had to be cut out with a knife. Chen Zhongqing gave this original version of the "fragmentation mine" a domineering name.
Thunder and thunderbolt fire.
This is used to deal with the official yamen to catch the fast, once the break into the courtyard Chen Zhongqing will light the corner of the lead, his original idea is to hang the jar under the eaves of the beam, catch the fast as soon as you enter the door will encounter a tragic ambush, the fragments in the air explosion can play a more fragment killing effect. The Imperial City Division of the Lantern Festival is a precedent, even if he is excellent in martial arts, he can't resist the splashing iron pieces inlaid into the bones.
Chen Zhongqing was haunted by the tragedy of Guozijian, and he finally saw the barbaric and bloody side of the ancient Zhujiu and Yisan clans, in order to prevent possible risks in the future, this is one of the means.
In this Zen-like courtyard, there is a teenager's murderous intent.
After finishing his work, he was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, Chen Zhongqing looked at the fruits of his labor, and the corners of his mouth outlined a sneer, if the minions of the privy envoy dared to come, they would dare to ask them to come and go. The only regret was that at that time in Bianliang, I let my father get a assault rifle through the people of the Ordnance Prison, otherwise this layout would be more lethal.
Lao Jia was a little unimpressed by the young master's careful arrangement, these strange skills were ingenious, where could they stop the elite soldiers and strong generals of the government. Chen Zhongqing disagreed with him.
In these years, scholars who don't want to use their brains often die quickly, and the last group of important ministers in the court are all cunning and cunning old monsters with a deep city.
Scholars only need to catch a pen and open their mouths to kill, and they are more terrible than outlaws.
――――
At the entrance of the Li Mansion was parked the vermilion luxury carriage that was well-known to all Hangzhou people.
Today, Li Lanting ushered in his old friend.
Zhang Xun came to the Li Mansion in his spare time to find Li Lanting to learn chess skills, in fact, he wanted to show off to him the good seedlings he had excavated. The two are old friends, and they are the judges of the Hangzhou Word Club every year, the two sides usually exchange opinions with each other in private, and learn the meaning of words, in the Jin Dynasty with a strong poetic atmosphere, both sides are holding their breath, wanting to cultivate a literary giant who moved the Southern Jin Dynasty, Chen Zhongqing surprised Zhang Xun so much that he forgot that he still came to visit his protégé like smoke.
Zhang Xun is a Confucian celebrity, and his poetry attainments are extremely high, and it is rumored that he is the second in Suzhou and Hangzhou poetry, and no one dares to admit that he is the first. Therefore, the literati and writers in Hangzhou and Yang hope to be proud of receiving his comments. However, his vision is lonely, and he has always only commented on the poems that have entered his vision, and even Ruyan is Li Lanting's soft grinding and hard bubbles, so he barely opened his mouth to give a point.
On the small stone table in the courtyard, the sound of chessboard falling is endless. Li Lanting casually talked about what there was and didn't, for example, Jinling Bianliang was commenting on the three talented women of the Southern Jin Dynasty, and it was rumored that a talented person emerged from Jiangling, and the Northern Liao and Southern Jin Dynasty recently reached a temporary ceasefire agreement, etc., the south of the world, the north of the earth, and the east and the west.
The bamboo path leads to the secluded place, and the small courtyard knocks sound.
The courtyard was quiet, and only two people were left laughing heartily from time to time.
Zhang Xun pinched a white child, which happened to land in Tian Yuan's position. He twisted his beard lightly, as if he remembered something, and opened his mouth to interrupt Li Lanting's talking, "Brother Lanting, I recently found a good offspring, and his talent is extraordinary. At this year's word meeting, I am afraid that these talented people in Hangzhou will not be able to suppress it. ”
"Oh?"
Zhang Xun's words aroused Li Lanting's interest, and while thinking about how to settle down, he said with a smile, "It's such a coincidence, it just so happens that I also found a good seedling, my friend's nephew came to Hangzhou from Bianliang, he is a talented man who is rich and rich, it shouldn't be him what Brother Zhang said, right?" Ha ha. ”
Zhang Xun was stunned for a moment, but remembering the last sentence of Tasha Xing, he shook his head and said proudly, "No, no, this person is from Chenzhou, not Bianliang." It seems that Brother Lanting's nephew has met an opponent. ”
After that, he told Li Lanting in detail about the interesting story of the tea shop in Tsing Yi Lane this morning, especially after hearing the song "Tasha Xing", Li Lanting's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Not bad, good, the artistic conception of the lyrics is good, a few years ago this was the leader of the Hangzhou Poetry Society, and there is no young man to give new words to say the taste of sorrow, Brother Zhang found such a talent, this year's Dragon Boat Festival Hangzhou Poetry Club, I think these people should be deflated."
"Hahaha!"
Being praised by Li Lanting without showing his expression, Zhang Xun seemed very useful, and he also asked, "I just heard Brother Lanting mention your nephew, can you also have amazing words for appreciation?" ”
Li Lanting had been waiting for the other party to say this, and when he heard him speak, he hurriedly asked his subordinates to present the beautiful picture of Hangzhou.
The carefully framed rice paper was carefully unfolded, and the magnificent rivers and mountains, and the beautiful scenery of the good days were also presented in front of Zhang Xun one by one, and he didn't care about it at first, Li Lanting's calligraphy and painting attainments he knew the roots. However, when he saw the song "Wanghai Tide" at the end of the painting, his expression changed from plain to shocked, and finally he was very excited.
There was a clang, and the chess box placed on the edge of the round table was scattered to the ground. Zhang Xun stared at the poem as if he hadn't seen it. After half a ring, he seemed to get out of the realm of words, his excited chest rose and fell, and in the end, he still didn't hold his reserved image and slapped his thigh.
"Excellent, really excellent, except for the last sentence of fame and fortune, Hangzhou has not had such a wonderful word in the past ten years!"
What Zhang Xun didn't say, this was a dry poem, and the other party asked Li Lanting to recommend him.
He breathed a sigh of relief and laughed at his worries. Chen Zhongqing escaped from the coup d'état, a carp who is ambitious and ready to jump the dragon gate, and a lonely person who is frustrated and sad, no matter how you think about it, it is impossible to be the same person.
Li Lanting and Zhang Xun smiled at the same time, thinking about the poetry review meeting a month or two later, and pushing the talents they had just unearthed to the stage.
Li Lanting asked curiously, "By the way, Brother Zhang, you don't know what your proud protégé is?" ”
Chen Zhongqing's identity was sensitive, and it was inconvenient to disclose it, so he had to pretend to smile mysteriously, "Secret." ”
"I don't know what the name of Brother Lanting's nephew is?"
"It's a secret, too."
"Hahahaha! Interesting and interesting. ”
The two sides looked at each other and smiled, and continued to play chess.
