When the lamp was in charge, Zhu Youzhen led Li Zhenyan into a tea house. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIt stands to reason that at this hour, the curfew should have begun. But the tea house is still full of people, there are people who drink tea and listen to books, there are people who chat while eating snacks, and there are people who play chess, roll dice, and play double back, which is even more lively than on the street.

Li Zhenyan couldn't help but teased in a low voice: "Does the prince want to drink tea and eat it as a meal?" Even if you drink tea, you can't do it without silver! ”

"What are you anxious about, the silver will be available in a while." Zhu Youzhen didn't care about the authenticity.

When the guy saw another customer coming to the door, of course, he greeted him warmly and asked the two if they were drinking tea or having a snack. Zhu Youzhen waved his hand and said, "Don't bother you to say hello, we are here to watch chess, and we will have a snack when we are hungry for a while." ”

As he spoke, he and Li Zhenyan came to the table with the largest audience of Go, craned their necks and looked inward. It turned out that the two people fighting in it were all old men in their fifties and sixties, dressed gorgeously, with an elegant bearing, holding a folding fan, looking like a first-class person of the master.

Looking at the chess game again, it was just the beginning, except for the four seats, both sides only played one hand each. Now it is the turn of the old man who plays white chess to play chess, but he is stuck in the long test and refuses to lose.

There were at least a dozen idlers watching the chess around, and they all discussed: "Mr. Huang has won two games in a row, and Master Liu naturally has to deal with it carefully in this game." ”

At this time, the two sides suddenly fell like flying, and the sound of chess pieces hitting the chessboard was endless, and more than 20 hands had been played in an instant. The onlookers praised again: "It seems that the two of you have already calculated the changes, this game is quite similar to the previous game, and it will be up to Master Liu to break the game." ”

When Zhu Youzhen looked at it carefully, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly. It turned out that the two had been fighting together from the very beginning, with all the pieces concentrated in the upper right corner, and the rest of the board was empty.

Zhu Youzhen knew that the ancients' understanding of Go was like this, black and white were to kill each other, and it was only when they ate each other's chess that they were happy. But for him, an amateur Go enthusiast who traveled from his previous life, he naturally knew that the victory or defeat of Go only depends on how much land occupied by both sides, and eating chess is only one of the means to occupy the land, but not all the means. Judging from this game of chess, both sides are obsessed with the gains and losses of a small corner, which shows that the overall situation is not strong. If Zhu Youzhen is allowed to come down, he will seize the big field as soon as possible and take the initiative in the overall situation.

In fact, of course, he didn't come just to watch chess, but to listen to the public opinion of the people of Xi'an and understand the current situation through the tea house, a place where the "dragon gate array" was placed. Therefore, he pretended to watch the chess, but listened attentively to the chatter of the tea guests at the next table.

I only heard an old man who looked like a businessman in the next seat complaining while sipping tea: "This Governor Hong is really worthy of the nickname 'King of Hong Yama', and it is really scraping the ground to collect the people's fat and people's ointment!" Thirty taels of silver were apportioned just last month, saying that there was no salary in the Zuo General Barracks for half a year; A few days have passed this month, and I have to collect 20 taels again, saying that the soldiers of the first battalion of Zukuan who have just been transferred lack summer clothes. Good guys, I really used us small businessmen as a bleeding tube, and when it was hot in summer, what kind of summer clothes did you buy, and you should be naked! ”

"Lao Wang, what is your fifty taels, I paid one hundred taels!" The tea guest on the opposite side smiled bitterly, "The official said that it should be collected according to the width of the store, but you have three, but I have six!" In fact, your brother joins the Tiger Roar Merchant Gang, and he earns a lot more money every month than me. After all, the leader of our Jinzhong Merchant Gang, Qiao Gang, is old, his mind is not as flexible as Li Hu, and he has nothing to do with Governor Hong, so these small businessmen under us also have to share more silver. ”

Zhu Youzhen listened carefully, thinking that the "Governor Hong" in their mouths was the current Governor of the Trilateral Governor, Hong Chengchou. This man has always been ruthless and unscrupulous, and listening to the complaints of these businessmen about him is quite in line with his style. But I don't know why he takes special care of Li Hu's Tiger Roar Business Gang, does he have anything to do with Li Hu?

At this time, the other person sighed: "Hey, don't worry about it like that. Although Governor Hong has made a lot of money, after all, there is still a way to fight. Isn't this just an unprecedented victory in recent years, and the 'King of Chuang' Gao Yingxiangsheng was captured alive, and he was about to be sent to Beijing to offer his majesty the prisoner! It's better than the soldiers and ruffians in Liaodong, with millions of taels of food every year, and the battle of Liuhe let the Tartars kill a piece of armor without leaving a piece of armor! ”

"Gao Yingxiang was caught by him Hong Chengchou? It was clearly captured by General Li Dingguo under the account of Governor Yansuisun! The old king immediately argued, "I heard that Governor Sun didn't ask Governor Hong for a tael of food, and he didn't see anyone scraping the ground, and his soldiers still won consecutive battles!" Now that he has caught King Gao Chuang, he Hong Chengchou immediately jumped out to grab the merit, and my old king can't get used to it! ”

Several people were still arguing, but Zhu Youzhen was a little distracted when he heard it. Yes, this conversation is also a bit too informative, and it needs to be digested carefully!

First of all, King Gao Yingxiang was executed, which was a major victory for the official army over the thieves. No matter who the credit is credited to, it will always be greatly beneficial to the war situation in Shaanxi. It's a pity that these people only know the result, but the specific battle situation is unknown.

Secondly, the official army of Liaodong was defeated again! But I don't know who presided over the battle this time, and what the casualties were? Did Li Chongyao's Guanning Iron Cavalry survive? It seems that these specific information can only wait until he returns to Qin Wangzhuang and find Yang Sichang or Sun Chuanting to learn more about it.

When she was groaning, Li Zhenyan said to Zhu Youzhen angrily: "Master, I'm hungry!" ”

Zhu Youzhen remembered that the two hadn't eaten yet, and when Li Zhenyan said this, he also felt that it was time to show his skills and earn some money.

So he deliberately looked at the unfinished game of chess and laughed loudly: "What's so good about this chess?" ”

As soon as these words came out, even those who played chess and watched chess looked at Zhu Youzhen angrily. One of the middle-aged people watching the chess said angrily: "You are so unreasonable! Huang and Liu are both well-known Go masters, with accurate calculations and sharp killing methods, and there are few opponents in Xi'an City. Which onion are you going to dare to speak out here? ”

"Oh? According to this, the city of Xi'an is full of! Zhu Youzhen deliberately laughed presumptuously.

That "Master Liu" just lost two games in a row, and the situation in this game was unfavorable, and he was already on fire; At this moment, he heard Zhu Youzhen's disrespectful words, and saw that he was just a businessman, and he didn't look like he could play chess, so he sneered and said: "Since this brother Tai said so, can you give a lesson or two, so that Liu can see your methods?" ”

Zhu Youzhen asked for his sentence, but he deliberately pouted and said: "Originally, I didn't want to kill." Since you ask for it again and again, come to a plate. However, you have to follow my rules, otherwise you won't dare, and you will automatically admit defeat! ”

"What's not to dare?" Master Liu was completely enraged, "Do whatever you say!" ”

"Good!" Zhu Youzhen said proudly, "You can't play chess in vain, you have to have a little color!" ”
