Chapter Twenty-Six: Chang'an's Sullen Man

There are some things that Liu Yue feels very far away from him, but often things are unexpected, and on the first day he returns to the capital, he meets the four horses Chai Jin, a rich and calm but somewhat sullen old gentleman.

Liu Yu returned to the capital on April 1, and the list will be released on this day, and the capital is very lively. Liu Yu really wanted to plunge into a crowded place to breathe a few breaths of popularity, he needed the feeling of excitement too much.

Li Mi and Sui Yi stayed in the barracks outside the city, and they, like Qi Fang and Zhang Wuzhu, were in the list of rewards from the imperial court. There is no Liu Yu in the credit book, so he doesn't have to abide by those rules and regulations, and when he arrives in Chang'an, he can't wait to enter the city.

When he returned to the capital, he went home first, everything was as usual in the Hou Mansion, the old man Liu Zhao was still in Tongguan and did not come back, and the mansion did not know what earth-shattering things the twelve young masters had done when they went out of the city, and no one paid attention to them when they passed by the courtyard. Except for his sister, other people may not even know that he has left the capital for more than a month.

Only Liu Wu said to him: "The third lady knows that the twelfth young master has not returned home for many days, and said that he was going to wait for the master to come back and sue you." ”

Liu Yu has always felt that Liu Wuting is good at being a man, although everyone in the house is cheering at him, at least he is good to Liu Yue. Many of the things that the old man, lady and young master in the house sent to the housekeeper or the tent to do were done by Liu Wu, so he was also very well-informed.

Liu Yu was not interested in what he did not sue, and was told by the old man that he had not returned for many days, even if he did not know from the court about his vigorous deeds by the Kwai Shui, he would only say a few words to him. is about to "marry" his son, and he is too lazy to care.

Liu Yu left the Hou Mansion and went straight to the chess building, and it was there that he met the four horses Chai Jin, who was sitting alone in Liu Yu's chess room studying the endgame of chess, very attentive. Of course, Liu Yu didn't know his identity when he met Chai Jin, he only knew that Lu Dao was a bastard who occupied his chess room.

"Dude, what's going on? How did my chess room get occupied? Liu Yu was very unhappy and dragged the guy from the chess building over, and asked in an unkind tone.

"Twelve, you...... Bear, bear, you haven't heard from you this time, and you haven't said that you want to book a chess room in the future, so ......"

Liu Yu is also very helpless, these days people are very philistine, they don't give money to the private room, they don't give rewards, and the king of heaven doesn't give face.

Liu Yu dragged the guy in to reason with the bastard, and said that it was strange, there were few dignitaries in the capital who were so good at talking like the one in front of him, and when he heard that it was the original chess room chartered, he was respectful and said that he wanted to change the room. Liu Yu, who was still aggressive, felt a little embarrassed.

"This brother also likes to play chess?" Liu Yu looked at the chess game on the table, "Why don't you play the next game?" ”

"So, fortunately, fortunately!"

It was rare to find a chess friend, and the two of them all disappeared and sat down to play a game of chess together.

During the conversation, they learned each other's identities, and Liu Yu was surprised by Chai Jin's identity, after all, Han Sheng had only blown the wind in his ears a few days ago, and asked him to be careful of the people around the fourth princess. I didn't expect it to happen so soon. Once Liu Yu also suspected that the four horses were just pretending to be bears in front of people, but in fact, he was a shrewd master behind his back, giving advice to the four princesses. When I saw it today, I realized that the rumors were true.

Chai Jin is completely a model of a "good man", with a good temper, nodding his head at everything, not smiling or annoying, as if he would never offend people. Complete bear pack one.

"My family said that I should go out and walk more and make more friends, so I came to the chess building to take a stroll." When Chai Jin mentioned the fourth princess, he was just talking about his mother-in-law like an ordinary man, which was natural. At least from this sentence, Liu Yu can also understand the hard work of the fourth princess, this Chai Jin is too fucking sullen. Such a sullen man must not have any bosom friends around him.

When he learned that Liu Yu was the son of Liu Zhao, the Marquis of Dingguo, Chai Jin was also a little awe-inspiring, and arched his hand and said: "Disrespectful, disrespectful." ”

One of Dingguohou's many sons, Chai Jin's "disrespect" is just a polite gesture at most.

Liu Yu has been in this world for a year, and he has played chess with many people in the chess building, and there are too few people who can fight with him in chess, and this sullen Chai Jin is one of them. It may be that low-key and little-spoken people are also more thoughtful, don't look at this Chai Jin who is stupid and stupid, the chess style is unique, attacking with defense and attacking, at least Liu Yue spent a lot of effort to give him a trap to kill him, leaving only a veteran to jump around.

Liu Yu didn't checkmate him, and Chai Jin was not in a hurry, taking a veteran to jump around in a serious way. If it was someone else, he would have thrown the chess pieces and admitted defeat or played tricks, such as Han Sheng, old man Han.

"Brother Chai, do you think you still have a chance?" After the worst, even Liu Yu felt that he had done a little too much. After all, a soldier can be killed, but not humiliated.

Unexpectedly, Chai Jin raised his head, thought about it carefully, and said: "Brother Liu hasn't checked me to death yet, I think, as long as I don't lose the veteran, there will always be a chance." ”

Liu Yu was directly speechless.

In order to end the battle as soon as possible, Liu Yu directly went up with all the horses and artillery, and harvested the light pole veteran. The endgame is over.

"Brother Liu's chess skills are really extraordinary, I play with my family, even if she asks her a few words, she can't win me. Why don't we go to the next game? ”

Liu Yu felt that this Chai Jin was really boring, he was very depressed playing chess with a sullen man, and he said "yes", and he lacked passion at all. Even if he regrets a move, it is fine, but Liu Yue estimates that there is only one tendon in his head when he touches this Chai Jin, and he will not turn a corner.

Fortunately, the arrival of Sui Yi and Li Mi relieved Liu Yu, otherwise he might really have played another sullen game of chess with this sullen man.

"Why did you enter the city, didn't you wait outside the city for the will of the court?" Liu Yu looked at Li Mi and Sui Yi, who were dry-mouthed, and the two of them seemed to be coming in a hurry.

"One of us went to the military department, and the other went to the official department, and both received official documents and official certificates, saying that they would stay in Beijing and wait for vacancies. I don't know when I will wait, I still think it's really better to donate an official. Sui Yi was not polite, and directly drank the sullen man's tea, and drank half of it, probably thinking that something was wrong, and sniffed it with his nose, "Why does this tea smell like this, what is added to it?" ”

Chai Jin said with an innocent apology: "This benevolent brother, I am really sorry, I rinsed my mouth with this tea before." ”

Sui Yi directly squirted out the half bowl of tea that he hadn't swallowed.

Li Mi leaned back and closed his back laughing on the side, and Sui Yi hurriedly went out to find water to rinse his mouth. Liu Yu smiled helplessly, and looked at Chai Jin, this sullen man was still a little puzzled, and he was looking at Sui Yi who rushed out of the door, and he didn't realize it.

Li Mi and Chai Jin greeted each other, and when they learned that Li Mi had just returned from the front line, Chai Jin was surprised: "It turned out to be a righteous man from the Dashun Imperial Court, disrespectful, disrespectful." ”

This "disrespect" is worthy of the name, because Chai Jin has already stood up and is respectful.

"The Nine Emperors have entered the palace to face the saint, I and the Sui brothers have received the official certificate and the official letter, I am the captain waiting for the army, and the Sui brothers are waiting for the four-rank civil officials, this time the rising tide is really a dream will wake up with a smile. I just don't know how to go back and tell my family. ”

Li Mi, like Liu Yu, was born as a concubine, and he jumped from an ordinary prodigal in cloth clothes to a captain, and he was only one step away from being a general. As a result, he didn't know how to face his family, or how to face the road he had to take in the future.

This is also the reason why Liu Yu chose not to fight for merit, once he embarked on a military career or an official career, the direction of the future road was no longer determined by himself, and it would be difficult to live a free and easy life.

There are a lot of people who are liberals in the first place.
