Chapter 100: Playing chess in Shantang

In the morning, Jia Fu yawned and staggered out of the bedroom. Seeing Liu Sheng in the courtyard, he was slightly stunned. I entered the palace yesterday evening, and I didn't return until late at night, thinking about last night, Ren Ran was a little confused at this time: "Brother Sheng, why did you accept Chai Xian as an apprentice yesterday, this royal apprentice is very troublesome."

"I don't know, last night the ghost sent the gods to accept it, anyway, it's only three days a month, and the teaching is poor, and it's not far off." Liu Sheng recalled last night's scene and smiled bitterly. When I think about it, I feel troublesome.

Jia Fu looked at Liu Sheng, who was smiling bitterly, and laughed when he remembered a person: "With Master Zhou to guide you, teaching students should not be a big problem for you."

"Look at my memory, teaching children about this, there are really capable people to ask for advice." Liu Sheng listened to Jia Fu's words and thought of someone, today he thought about this matter for a long time.

Jia Fu was confused, and after thinking for a while, he asked tentatively: "But Jia and them?"

"Jia He has done his best in teaching, and it shouldn't be difficult to ask him about it." Liu Sheng thought of this, and his mood became happy.

Jia Fu looked at Liu Sheng, who was happy, and asked, "Then when will we go to Shantang and look for Jia and them."

"Just go now". Liu Sheng blurted out without thinking. This matter is the biggest in his heart, and it is naturally urgent.

Jia Fu showed an embarrassed look, looked at Liu Sheng and asked, "Brother Kesheng, you came back last night." Didn't you say you were going to visit, Uncle Xu? How did you change the hexagram again".

"Uncle Xu is the prime minister, and now His Majesty has died, and the crown prince is about to ascend the throne. How could he have time to be in the Prime Minister's Mansion during the day, and it should be evening to visit." Liu Sheng looked at Jia Fu and explained, Chai Yu and Yang Yong wanted to send troops to attack Western Xia, but if they didn't convince Xu Yanping, they were afraid that it would be difficult.

When Jia Fu heard it, he felt that there seemed to be some truth, and sighed in his heart, it seemed that he didn't know how late he was going to sleep tonight: "Alas...... It's night again. During this time, I slept late at night, which was so sad."

"Less nonsense, let's go to the good church". Liu Sheng looked at Jia Fu who sighed and shook his head. Turning around, he ordered Yihun to prepare the horses, and after a while, he rode his horse and whipped towards Shantang.

Seeing this, Jia Fu hurriedly rode a horse to keep up, he used to feel that riding a horse was torture, but now he feels a different taste for his habit of riding.

Uncle Xue of Shantang smiled and put the chessboard on the intersection. During this time, he likes to wait here for the rabbit. If you're lucky, you'll be able to catch a few people to play a few games with him. A few days ago, it was Wang Kexin or Duan Zhaorong who accompanied him to play. Now that this person is getting older, his memory is getting worse and worse.

Jia Fu came running from a distance on horseback at this time and saw Uncle Xue placing the chessboard. With a stirring in his heart, he hurriedly turned over and dismounted: "Uncle Xue, why are you here."

"Little Lao'er, I'm not very normal here, but it's you, I haven't been able to see a trace during this time." Uncle Xue looked at Jia Fu with an unhappy face, this person likes to talk and don't count, just fooling his old man.

Liu Sheng heard the conversation between Jia Fu and Uncle Xue in the distance, and ordered Yihun to tie the horse behind, and walked towards Uncle Xue with a smile: "Uncle hasn't seen you for a long time, should we come to two games."

"Excellent, excellent, or Mr. knows the goods, unlike some people, who like to break their word and get fat. Come on, come on, sit down". Uncle Xue's eyes narrowed with a smile when he heard the game of chess, and he hurriedly beckoned Liu Sheng to sit down. After setting up the chess, don't forget to make fun of Jia Fu.

Jia Fu looked bitter when he heard this, looked at Uncle Xue who was overjoyed, and played chess with great interest: "Uncle Xue, why are you holding the chessboard on the road today."

"Nonsense, if I'm not on the road, can I catch you?". Uncle Xue looked at Jia Fu with a look of displeasure. They are becoming more and more cunning. Thanks to my old man's chess skills, he came up with such a clever trick.

Jia Fu seemed to hear something, and looked at Uncle Xue in disbelief: "We? A lot of people? “。

"Wang Kexin accompanied me for three days, and Duan Zhaorong accompanied me for five days. Sima Zhao accompanied me for four days, and the most interesting thing was Wang An, who was actually excited to accompany me, a little old man, for a week. It's still Wang An's boy, how can he be as cunning as you." Uncle Xue stiffened his fingers and began to rush with interest, calculating the results of this period of time.

After listening to Uncle Xue's results, Liu Sheng asked in surprise: "I remember Uncle Xue, you seem to have been a time when you didn't like to play chess with us, why are you ...... now."

"Do you think that little old man I want to be like this, there was a group of Taoist leaders in Qingyuan. If you have nothing to do, you can play chess with me, and your life will be comfortable. Now that they have been gone for so long, Xiao Lao'er has itchy hands for a while, if he doesn't look for you, who are he looking for? “。 Uncle Xue asked rhetorically with a straight face. Nowadays, his peers in the good hall do not play chess with him. Jia and those gentlemen, he was too embarrassed to bother. After thinking about it, only Liu Sheng and his gang can play chess.

Jia Fu could only speak after hearing this, and hurriedly agreed: "Uncle, what you said is not wrong at all, let Brother Sheng play chess with you today."

"Little old man likes to hear this, you will play with me in the next game." Uncle Xue felt that Jia Fu's words were just in his heart, and hurriedly invited.

When Jia Fu heard the chess, he looked embarrassed. Originally, he was holding the mentality of a friend of the dead Dao who would not die and the poor Dao, but he didn't expect to accidentally spare himself: "Uncle Xue, your chess skills are outstanding, I am willing to bow to the wind." Let's let Brother Sheng accompany you well."

"You kid said the wrong thing, you know that your chess skills are not good, and you don't practice hard. It just so happens that I'm in a good mood today, and I'll start to change you in the next game, let me teach you well." Uncle Xue almost couldn't help but say something, and cut off Jia Fu's idea of prevarication.

Liu Sheng looked at Jia Fu with a bitter face and laughed: "Ah Fu, do you know that being smart is being mistaken by being smart."

"Boom ......". Jia Fu looked at Liu Sheng angrily, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that he was embarrassed.

Liu Sheng smiled and didn't fight back, and after a while, the battle on the chessboard was anxious: "Uncle Xue, I have always had a question in my heart, I don't know whether to ask or not."

"Something, but it doesn't hurt to say it". Uncle Xue didn't look up when he heard the question, and continued to look at the chessboard and think.

Liu Sheng organized his words a little in his heart: "We have known each other for so long, it seems that we have never heard of it, Uncle Xue, your past."

"Xiao Lao'er was originally a Han from Lingzhou in the northwest, but because of a revenge from the party and tribe, the whole village was slaughtered. I have something to do with the ****, or ......". Uncle Xue was stunned when he heard the question, recalling the scene at that time, and felt a little sad in his heart.

Jia Fu was stunned when he heard Lingzhou, and hurriedly asked: "Lingzhou? Party members".

"The Dang Xiang people killed the Han people, and the Han people killed the Dang Xiang people. This killing comes and goes, and it is we poor people who suffer." Uncle Xue saw Jia Fu puzzled and continued to explain.

Liu Sheng thought for a moment and looked at Uncle Xue: "Is the conflict between the party members and the Han people in Lingzhou very violent?"

"Originally, since the party members returned to our dynasty, they have been safe. Unexpectedly, ten years ago, there were rumors that the party members killed the envoy of the Northwest Festival. After the new Jiedu envoy took over, he launched bloody revenge on the party members, and the conflict between the two sides became bigger and bigger." Uncle Xue remembered the past and the scenes he saw, and his heart was infinitely sad. These big people, fighting life and death, are happy to take revenge. Where can we really do these for them, the poor people think about it.

After listening to this, Liu Sheng figured out some questions in his heart, and looked at Uncle Xue to divert the topic: "Uncle Xue, do you still want to go back now?"

"Go back? I have no worries, no relatives and no reason, what do I do when I go back. Don't interrupt it, let the little old man think about what to do next." Uncle Xue shook his head, looked at the chessboard, and seriously pondered.
