Chapter 125: The Chess Game

Zhang Lang hurried to the side hall, found Yang Kun, and then couldn't wait to leave the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

Zhang Lang was not in a hurry to go back to the inn, he wandered around the street, and Yang Kun followed him. I saw a teahouse not far away, so I walked over.

"Yo! Two guest officers, please inside! Xiao Er at the door greeted warmly, feeling as if he knew Zhang Lang and Yang Kun.

Xiao Er beckoned Zhang Lang and Yang Kun to sit down at a window, took down the rag on his shoulder, and asked with a smile on his face while wiping the table, "What do the two guest officers want?" We have a variety of famous teas here, as well as a variety of exquisite snacks, all kinds of flavors, sweet, salty, with the hobby of the guest officer! ”

Zhang Lang said: "Just have two pots of good tea and two plates of desserts." ”

"Good Lat! Guest officer, please wait! Xiao Er replied and left quickly.

After a while, tea and dessert were served, "Guest officer, please use it slowly!" Xiao Erdao left immediately.

Yang Kun stood up, picked up the teapot and filled Zhang Lang with tea, before pouring himself a cup and sitting down.

Zhang Lang took a sip of tea and glanced out the window, only to see the street bustling, with the flags of the shops on both sides of the shop fluttering in the wind, a prosperous scene. Zhang Lang said with some emotion: "If our business was so developed, I would have put a lot less effort into it!" ”

Yang Kun said: "Jingzhou is the land of fish and rice, and it is above the north-south traffic, so it is so prosperous and rich." ”

Zhang Lang glanced at Yang Kun and said with a smile: "I can't see it, you can still say such a thing!" ”

Yang Kun picked his head embarrassedly, "I didn't actually say these words, I listened to Mr. ”

Zhang Lang took a sip of tea, frowned, and said, "If only there were a few more people like Mr. under my command!" Where the fuck is Zhuge Liang hiding? ”

Yang Kun had never heard of Zhuge Liang's name, and asked puzzledly, "Is Zhuge Liang famous?" His talent is comparable to that of Mr.? ”

Zhang Lang drank tea and said, "What do you say?" The two of them are different, Mr. is good at making surprise strategies, while Zhuge Liang is better at being steady and well-planned! Both of them are prodigies! The Central Plains was in turmoil, and many talents fled to Jingzhou! ”

The shopkeeper passed by, Zhang ** stopped him, and the junior came over and asked, "What do you objectively command?" ”

Zhang Lang smiled: "I have a few questions for you, if you answer them well," took out a silver ingot of five taels from his waist and put it on the table, Xiao Er's eyes immediately lit up. Zhang Lang said: "If your answer satisfies me, this ingot of silver is yours." ”

Xiao Er hurriedly said: "Guest officer, please ask, the villain must answer well." ”

"Let me ask you, is there a place called Wollongong around Xiangyang?"

Xiao Er frowned and thought about it, shook his head and said, "The villain has never heard of such a place near Xiangyang!" Seeing Zhang Lang frowning, he hurriedly said, "But the villain knows another Wollongong!" ”

"Oh? Where is it? ”

"On the outskirts of Nanyang."

"Nanyang?" Zhang Lang suddenly thought of Zhuge Liang's 'Teacher Table' that he had read when he was studying, and there seemed to be a sentence in it, 'Chenben cloth, ploughing in Nanyang'. Eyes lit up, yes! It's Nanyang! I thought it was in Xiangyang! Asked the shopkeeper: "How do you know that there is a Wollongong in Nanyang?" ”

Xiao Er smiled, "The villain once followed the boss to buy tea from Nanyang, and I still remember that there was a basket of good tea that was collected from Wollongong on the outskirts of Nanyang!" By the way, there are many literati living in seclusion in Wollongong! The villain has seen a few of them, but they can't understand what they say! ”

Zhang Lang hurriedly asked again: "Have you heard of a person named Zhuge Liang?" ”

Xiao Er shook his head blankly, "I've never heard of it!" Then he laughed at himself: "The villain is just a little guy who can't get on the stage, where can I get to know those celebrities!" ”

Zhang Lang's face was thoughtful.

Xiao Er's eyes glanced at the ingot of silver, and asked with a longing expression, "Childe, are you satisfied with the villain's answer?" ”

Zhang Lang smiled, picked up the silver ingot and threw it to Xiao Er. Xiao Er took the silver ingot, thanked him with great joy, and went happily.

Zhang Lang said with a smile: "This is called stepping on iron shoes and finding nowhere to go, and it takes no effort to get it!" Without further ado, let's go to Nanyang immediately! He paid the bill and left the teahouse in a hurry.

Zhang Lang sent someone to the Dadu Governor's Mansion to inform him, and on the same day, he took dozens of followers and rode to Nanyang, north of Xiangyang.

A few days later, the group came to Nanyang. Walking on the street, although the street market in Nanyang cannot be compared with Xiangyang, it is also very prosperous.

Suddenly, I saw a large group of people competing for something under the archway not far away, and I couldn't help but feel curious, so I urged the horse to go up. I saw a huge white cloth hanging on the archway, nineteen vertical and horizontal roads on the white cloth, the white son besieged the black man, the black son was on the verge of collapse, Zhang Lang had studied Go in the past, and also collected the famous endgame in ancient times, so he could see at a glance that this was a famous endgame in the Spring and Autumn Period.

"Brother, what is this for?" Zhang Lang asked a young man next to him who was meditating.

The young man glanced at Zhang Lang, and saw that he was extraordinary, and there were many followers surrounding him, so he immediately didn't dare to slack off, and pointed to the endgame, "This is the old man Huang hung out, saying that if you can let Heizi get out of trouble and turn defeat into victory, you will have a lot of thanks!" This endgame has been on the table for more than ten days, but no one can break it! ”

Zhang Lang smiled, "What's so difficult about this?" He took out the longbow that hung on the side of the saddle, drew an arrow, bent the bow and put an arrow at the white cloth, and the people heard only a whoosh, and then saw a hole the size of a chess piece in the white cloth. The old man in charge of the care hurriedly stepped forward, and after reading it, he showed surprise, and hurriedly stepped forward to worship: "Childe actually broke this endgame!" Please follow the old man to see the head of the house! ”

Zhang Lang put back the longbow and said with a smile: "I still have something to do, say goodbye!" As he spoke, he clamped his legs around the horse's belly and walked forward, followed by dozens of fierce knights.

Everyone is talking, and many people are speculating about the identity of this heroic son.

The old man glanced at the back of Zhang Lang and his party, and hurriedly called a little guy and gave him an order, the little guy followed Zhang Lang and his party, and the old man hurried back.

Huangfu, located in the center of the city, is the leading family in Nanyang.

The old man rushed into the gate, shouting excitedly as he ran, "Master! Master! ......" ran into the hall. At this time, there was an old man sitting in the living room, dressed in white linen clothes, wearing a scarf, and his beard was gray, quite an immortal.

"What are you doing in such a panic?" The old man in white asked angrily.

The old man who rushed in swallowed his saliva, breathed a sigh of relief, and said urgently: "Master, someone has broken the master's chess game!" ”
