Chapter 97: A Chance Encounter at a Wine Shop
Shouchun City, a wine shop not far from Taishou Mansion, on this day, two young men sat opposite each other by the window, chatting while playing chess, very leisurely. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Business is good in the liquor store, but almost all the customers who come in and out will glance at them, intentionally or unconsciously, and these two men are too eye-catching. They are all dressed in white, with slender figures, handsome faces, and gestures, showing a touch of heroic and chic bearing.
"Gong Jin, you are too beautiful, always so eye-catching." One of the men sighed.
"Bo Fu, how do I feel that you are complimenting yourself?" The other man laughed.
"Haha!"
"General! You've lost! ”
"Huh? Slow, we didn't pay attention. ”
"The decision is settled, and you can't go back!"
"Forget it, you win this game, let's do it again!"
"I won in the first place, how can I win, it seems that you let me!"
While the two were playing, they began to set up the chess game again.
In the wine shop, some people recognized the game played by these two men, which was the "chess" that has been quite popular in Shouchun recently, and even a few people had itchy hands for a while, and they also learned the two to play chess on the table, and for a while, the wine shop became a chess battlefield.
The two of them didn't notice the change in the liquor store in the slightest, and they still played happily against each other.
"Gongjin, why do I think you're becoming more and more addicted to this? In recent days, even your favorite piano has rarely been played. ”
"Aren't you the same? In order to play this chess, it takes up your time to practice martial arts. ”
"Yes! I found that this chess is so profound in the art of war that it is not easy! ”
"I think it's really not easy to make this chess Jiujiang Taishou Liu Zhiyuan. We have only been here for half a year, and this Shouchun has changed a lot, and there are a lot of new things, which is really eye-opening for me. ”
That's right, this chess was "invented" by Liu Miao. He was bored for a while, and had nothing to do, so he remembered chess, and then made a pair of his own, and taught a few of his cronies. Once, Chen Wen, the assassin of Yangzhou, came to visit, and happened to see them playing chess, and he was curious, so he asked Liu Miao for it. Liu Miao simply asked a craftsman to make a pair of jade chess and animal skin chessboards and gave them to Chen Wen. Who knew that it spread like this, and it was deeply liked by everyone's children and scholars, and it gradually became popular in Shouchun, and many people even went out without forgetting to bring a pair of chess with them.
"The two of us have traveled in the Jianghuai area and made friends with many celebrities, but we are really not as good as Liu Zhiyuan. What does Gong Jin think of this person? ”
"It's unpredictable, judging from the various deeds since he was the Taishou of Jiujiang, it is certain that this person has great talents and great ambitions, but some things are still untrue and difficult to conclude. There is this person among the relatives of the Han family, I don't know if it is a blessing or a disaster for the world? ”
"What does Gong Jin mean by this?"
"Fang is under today, Dong Zhuo is in the court, there are princes in the local area, and bandits are rampant, disasters are continuous, and the situation is chaotic and difficult to distinguish, which is a sign of rise and fall!"
"Gong Jin is too worried? Now he is the one who is harming the world, but Dong Zhuo is only, and the rest are all ringworm scabies. Although the alliance to discuss Dong was temporarily dissolved, my father and Yuan Highway still insisted on seeking Dong, and Dong Zhuo only retreated in Chang'an, and the period of destruction was not far away. As long as Dong Zhuo is destroyed and the dynasty is revitalized, the world is not uncertain. ”
When it came to the man's father, it was not good for the other person to continue to express his opinion, but he was silent.
"The two sons are well! It's abrupt, can you get acquainted? Suddenly, a man next to him threw his hand in this direction, startling both of them.
Both of them frowned slightly, and looked at the man who spoke with wariness. I saw that the man was a young man, dressed ordinarily, but with a sense of nobility, and his face was young but calm. And his seat is a middle-aged man, with a white face and sparse beard, elegant and indifferent, and he is also an ordinary person.
Seeing that these two people were very precautionary, the man smiled again: "I overheard the two sons talking about the situation in the world below, and they were curious for a while, so they said offense. ”
Seeing that he had no malicious intent, the two of them lowered their guard slightly, and one of the slightly beautiful men said: "The two of us are just talking casually in boredom, I don't want to disturb this son, please understand!" ”
"It's time to apologize. If you guess correctly, the two sons are Sun Bofu and Zhou Gongjin, who have been famous in Huainan recently, right? ”
"Oh? Who are you, and why do you know my names? These two people traveled together in Huainan and made friends with Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, who visited celebrities and scholars.
"Under Liu Miao." The man bowed.
"But Jiujiang Liu Fujun in person?" Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were both stunned for a moment, and then Zhou Yu asked first.
They were still discussing Liu Miao just now, but they didn't expect that the main owner was next to him, and it was very likely that they heard their conversation, which was extremely embarrassing.
Liu Miao also saw their embarrassed expressions, nodded hurriedly, and then pointed to the middle-aged man on the side and said, "This is Liu Ji and Liu Bowen, the two of us came here to sit here in our spare time, and I don't want to meet the two sons by chance, it's really fate." ”
Liu Miao's words somewhat reduced the embarrassment of the two.
But Liu Miao didn't come here by chance, he had already instructed Jinyiwei to pay close attention to the whereabouts of some people, and Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were among them. As soon as Sun Ce and Zhou Yu entered Shouchun City, Liu Miao received the news. Under Liu Miao's deliberate arrangement, he and Liu Ji entered this wine shop almost at the same time as Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, and they also sat next to them.
"If you don't mind, can we talk at the same table?" Liu Miao proposed.
Sun Ce and Zhou Yu groaned slightly, and both nodded, they were actually very interested in Liu Miao, otherwise they wouldn't have talked about him just now, after seeing Liu Miao, it may be because of the small age difference, and they didn't feel too estranged.
Seeing that they agreed, Liu Miao motioned to Liu Ji, and then the two got up and walked to Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's table. This table is relatively large, and it is no problem for four people to sit together. The four of them introduced each other again, and then knelt down in pairs.
Liu Miao pointed to the chess that was on the table and smiled: "The two of you are also very interested in this chess?" ”
Zhou Yu said: "Yu heard that this chess was made by the prince, it is really an ingenious artifact. After I met Bo Fu, I couldn't put it down, and we played against each other for several days, but I just knew the rules and was not yet proficient. ”
"This should not be praised by Gongjin, but it is just an ordinary plaything. Since both of you are interested, why don't we play a game first? Liu Miao suggested with a smile.
Zhou Yu and Sun Ce glanced at each other, and they were both eager to try.
Zhou Yu said: "I'm afraid that none of us are the opponents of the Fujun, and we can't let the Fujun enjoy themselves." ”
Liu Miao waved his hand and said: "It's okay, although I started chess, I rarely practice." It's just a game, not for winning or losing, just for exchanging skills and passing the time. ”
Zhou Yu thought about it, and he really wanted to ask Liu Miao, the original creator, for advice, but he still asked Sun Ce first: "Bo Fu, are you on or am I on it?" ”
Sun Ce also wanted to go, but he was worried that his level was too poor and he would lose too quickly, so he smiled and said: "It's better for Gongjin, come on, I'll watch and cheer for you!" ”
"Good!" Zhou Yu no longer shirked, sat opposite Liu Miao, set up the chessboard, and played against each other.
