Chapter 356: The Game (Part II)
Young man, famous in the Qi Dynasty, he is the cousin of the first emperor Emperor Jingdi, and he is also the little prince of the dynasty, King Hui Xiao Ling.
The middle-aged man is named Mr. Li, but no one knows his real name. His name is Mr. Shanye, known as Li Shanye, who makes a career by setting up chess stalls in Jinling, but all the people who visit him are dignitaries of the dynasty. It seems that he knows a lot of people in the court, and no one in the court doesn't know him, whether it is the Queen Mother's party, Xie Rumo's party, or some neutral officials, they have all come to his chess club to play chess.
But the folk spread that he was a master who was hidden in the city, and no one could invite him out of the mountain.
"Mr. Li, look at this, if I lose, I will give you ten concubines. Pick it up for yourself, I have a lot of it. Xiao Ling said with a smile.
"No." Li Shanye said, "I'm not good at beauty, but not good at singing and dancing, what's the use of coming to concubines?" ”
"Then ...... A thousand taels of gold, so Mr. Li should be satisfied, right? ”
"Two meals and one night are enough, but what is the difference between gold and dung?" Li Shanye said with a disdainful expression.
Xiao Ling sighed and said, "What Mr. Li said, money and beauties are all dung, so what's the meaning of life in the world?" Do you really want to fight endlessly on the power field of my life like my father, and end up with a lifetime of hard work? Whatever Mr. Li wants, even if he mentions it, as long as His Highness has it, he will agree. ”
Li Shanye said with a smile: "I think, let the young highness go down to see someone." ”
"See someone?" Xiao Ling smiled, "This is quite interesting." You don't want beauty gold, but let me meet someone. Who? If it's wicked, then I won't see it. ”
Li Shanye said: "Your Royal Highness, rest assured. This man was in Jinling, not far away. Not high, not low. And he is a guest of our court, and His Royal Highness will definitely be able to see him. I believe that when His Royal Highness sees him, he will also be a confidant, because His Royal Highness has something in common with him. ”
"Oh? And such people? It's interesting to have something in common with me, and I'm going to see you soon. No, this game hasn't been played yet. Mr. Li, if it weren't for that, if I had won. You also told me where I was, and how about I went to see it together? ”
Li Shanye looked at Xiao Ling with an expectant look, couldn't help but smile, nodded slightly, and Xiao Ling was very satisfied with it.
In Xiao Ling's view, this game of chess is not nine out of ten, but definitely won.
He played chess with Li Shanye before, and he didn't take it seriously at all, and the general trend was already decided before he reached the middle game. He didn't play chess on his first day. Know what kind of chess can't be saved. And when Li Shanye went down with him before, he was completely attentive, and he didn't give in, so he naturally didn't know that there would be an exchange of white and black children.
Xiao Ling was still calm and calm in the first few steps. A gesture that I'm going to win.
But after a dozen moves, Xiao Ling began to find that the chess board was developing in a direction that was unfavorable to him. Obviously, many areas that have already occupied the advantage are constantly being revitalized by white. It made him feel that this Mr. Li was really unusual in playing chess.
The further back, the greater the pressure Xiao Ling felt. By the time he got to the end, he was well aware. The original huge advantage has been tossed away by him, and the good chess has also been played by him into bad chess. White, which was originally bound to lose, repeatedly made good moves to reverse the disadvantage.
Even Xiao Ling himself didn't think that there were so many "tricks" in the first half of his game, and he had to admire, it wasn't his own tricks, it was really Li Shanye's good chess.
"Mr. Li, don't count, I lost." Xiao Ling finally said calmly.
This time, Xiao Ling's attitude was a little annoyed, even he didn't expect that he had been studying this black and white impermanence since he was a child, but in the end, he didn't even touch the tail hair of the master.
"Your Highness is too humble, in fact, I'm just a coincidence." Li Shanye said with a smile.
"Winning is winning, losing is losing, what's there to say? I'm not like some people in the court, who obviously lost in chess, but they don't admit it, and they say as if losing chess is like killing their parents, alas! There are always some people who can't see it. Xiao Ling said with a very emotional look.
Li Shanye said with a smile: "It's still His Royal Highness who is open-minded. But ......"
"Mr. Li, needless to say, I will definitely agree to your conditions. Where do you say that person is? I'll go to him...... Besides, since Mr. Li is not short of gold, silver, jewelry and beautiful women, then I will ask someone to send some special things, all of which are worthless things, good tea and wine, when it is a losing bargaining chip, this Mr. Li should not refuse, right? Xiao Ling said.
Li Shanye nodded with a slight smile and said, "Then thank Your Highness first." ”
"What is there to thank, I have always said that Mr. Li is a friend worth making, and there are friends from afar, don't you also say it? Haha, when I get back, I'll call someone to send it, Mr. Li should say where that person is, right? Xiao Ling said with a smile.
"That person, just listening to the platform, presumably His Royal Highness should know where it is, right?" Li Shanye Road.
"Listen to the platform? I've been there, and when I was a child, my father took me there, and I went with His Majesty...... Oh, it was the first emperor who drank together, and at that time I didn't understand anything, so I fell asleep on the listening platform, and I fell seriously ill because of it. I remember that there should be a statue of Kannon there, and I always wanted to move it back, because the carving was so lifelike that I can still remember it. Xiao Ling recalled, and suddenly asked with some surprise, "That person, how can he listen to the platform?" ”
"Young Highness go down and take a look, don't you know?" Li Shanye was secretive.
"That's that, listen to the platform, it's not the palace, even if it's the palace, I can enter and enter freely, since that person is listening to the platform, he must have some ability. Mr. Li, then His Royal Highness will take his leave today and come back tomorrow. ”
"Congratulations to His Royal Highness." Li Shanye got up to send him off.
"Mr. Li is polite, when I come tomorrow, I will definitely bring a gift, Mr. Li is waiting......"
As he spoke, Xiao Ling trotted away all the way, as if he couldn't wait to see the person Li Shanye said.
Li Shanye looked at Xiao Ling's back and sighed slightly: "I didn't expect that among the Jiangnan royal family, the most capable person is hiding so deeply. This son can be made. ”
Li Shanye said that suddenly a voice came from a distance, but it was a little feminine.
"Who is Mr. Yamano talking about?"
With the voice, a figure floated in, but it was a white figure.
Li Shanye was a little caught off guard at first, and when he felt that the person who came was not kind, but wanted to pierce his chest with a long sword, he immediately turned around and retreated.
In the blink of an eye, the person who came had already killed him.
Li Shanye turned around to avoid the stabbing long sword, and wanted to dodge again, but the white figure no longer approached, but stood with a sword, watching him from afar.
Although his face behind the veil was not clear, Li Shanye couldn't help but feel excited. Over the years, his heart had only been touched by one person, although he also knew that this person would never accept him.
Master Zuo Gu, Ke Qu'er's master, is also the head of the Jiangnan Martial Arts Zhonghua Sect.
"It's been a long time, Master." Li Shanye saluted.
He tried his best to show his grace in front of the Venerable Zuo Gu, but he also knew that the identity and position were different, and the Venerable Zuo Gu would never give him a good look. Although even if the Master of Zuo Gu gave a good face, it was only a cold look.
"You haven't answered the question yet." Master Zuo Gu looked at Li Shanye and said in a leisurely tone.
"The person I am talking about below is the Xiao Hui King of the Qi Dynasty, I guess the Venerable Master should have heard of him?" Li Shanye Road.
Master Zuo Gu thought for a moment, nodded slightly, and said, "Are you talking about Xiao Ling?" ”
"It's him. This son has the style of an emperor, and like his grandfather, he will be a person who will do great things in the future, but his father is an ordinary person. ”
The Venerable Satani thought about it slightly, as if this was different from what was rumored in the outside world.
In the eyes of outsiders, Xiao Ling and the former emperor are equals, and the current queen mother is called "sister-in-law", and the relationship with the queen mother's party is not ordinary. But because Xiao Ling has no quarrel with the world, his father has cultivated a large number of contacts, so Xie Rumo and his party also want to win him over, and they are quite polite to him.
In the entire Jinling, Xiao Ling is the only one who can live a free life in many power struggles, because no one wants to offend him, and they don't dare to mess with him, because his father is really capable, and his father Xiao Rang has been the emperor for three days. And in these three days, Xiao Ling was the crown prince of the dynasty, although Xiao Rang passed the throne to the first emperor later, but it is recognized that he is the most powerful helper of the first emperor, and he is very capable.
Xiao Ling's grandfather did not become the emperor either, and he was a little idle like Xiao Ling. But when it came to Li Shanyekou, it was Xiao Ling and his grandfather who could achieve great things, while his most capable father was inactive.
"Is the Venerable Master curious about what he is talking about?" Seeing that Master Zuo Gu seemed to be thinking about the problem, Li Shanye suddenly smiled.
"Hmm." The Venerable Zuo Gu has always been straightforward in her work, and if she has doubts, she will not hide them, especially when Li Shanye wants to say it.
"Being able to get the throne but not being able to do so is the defeat of King Hui's life. Now King Xiaohui will be able to achieve great things, and he will also help him and achieve great things in the future. Li Shanye said with a haughty attitude. It seems that he is the only one in the world who can do this.
"It's hard." Master Zuo Gu spoke very directly and retorted.
Li Shanye smiled and said, "The Venerable Master must have thought that such a little King Hui would not compete for power. But now the one in Jiangbei is not going to be in charge of the world? King Xiaohui wants to reign over the world, but he just needs someone to wake him up, and that person is in Jinling, and he is about to meet him. Did the Venerable Master also look forward to the situation in the world that would be contested between the two young people in the future? ”
Master Zuo Gu shook her head slightly, not that she didn't agree with Li Shanye's words, but that she didn't understand it at all.
Li Shanye has always spoken freely, because there has always been a grudge between the two gates, she can't kill this person, but with her martial arts, there is only half a catty and eight taels between Li Shanye and Li Shanye.
"Who's that guy?" The Master of Satani asked.
"A person from Jiangdu, surnamed Sima ......" (to be continued......)
