In the thirty-sixth year of the first emperor, he was born with a vision. There is a comet falling in Dongjun, to the ground is a stone, on which is engraved "the first emperor died and the land is divided", and rumors spread all over the place for a while. When the first emperor heard this, he was furious, and sent the imperial historian to the local area to find out who carved it, but no one admitted it, so he killed all the people within ten miles and burned the meteorite to block the mouths of everyone. The First Emperor was uneasy, so he asked the doctor to compose a poem called "Immortal True Poems", and when he traveled around the world, he ordered the musicians to play and sing when he came to a place, hoping that the immortals in the heavens would hear about the meeting and come to meet him. In the autumn of that year, the envoy walked by night from Kanto to pass through Huayin Pingshu Road, and someone stopped the messenger with a jade bi and said, "Give it to Jichi-kun for me." Taking the opportunity, he said, "This year, the ancestral dragon died." The messenger was astonished, and hurriedly asked him why, but the man suddenly disappeared, put down the true jade, and left. The envoy took back the jade bi and told the First Emperor what he had encountered. The First Emperor was silent for a long time, and then said, "The ghosts in the mountains can only predict the events of one year. ”

The first emperor, who was over fifty years old, was terrified by these visions, and in order to take refuge in the calamity and seek refuge in search of the elixir of life, the first emperor heeded the advice of the priests and actively prepared for his fifth parade. The first stop of the southern tour is the Qiantang River in Huiji County, and the worship of Dayu carved stone praise virtue is to seek the blessing of the gods.

Spring is late, and the trees are blooming. Cang Geng, picking Su Qiqi.

The spring in the south of the Yangtze River is like a graceful palace beauty, belatedly coming. It is also like a quiet and elegant little jasper, which always makes people feel pleasing to the eye everywhere.

It is spring in February and March, and the drizzle falling in the sky from time to time seems to be immersed in warm and greasy lubrication, refreshing people's hearts and lungs, and making people intoxicated. Although it is a land south of the Yangtze River, the land of Wuyue in the pre-Qin era did not have the large-scale development of later generations, so some foraging hare beasts jumped out of the fields from time to time, with red flowers and green grass, full of vitality.

The hare foraging by the roadside stopped, looked away with its ears pricked up vigilantly, and fled into the grass with its legs.

A light sound of horses' hooves sounded slowly, and an old horse carried two young men and women walking slowly, and the young men and girls were giggling on horseback and didn't know what to say, and their voices were intimate, and they were not in a hurry. The old horse was also leisurely, pacing slowly, stopping from time to time to poke out and eat a few bites of the tender grass on the side of the road.

After leaving the Lu Mansion, the two rode the old horse given by Lu Pheasant all the way south, crossed Jiujiang County, and crossed the river to the territory of Huiji.

It is inevitable that the two will touch each other when they ride together, and Yu Miaoyi was still a little embarrassed at the beginning, but later she gradually got used to it. After Han Xin came to this world for so many years, it was the first time he was so close to a girl, and after getting along for so long, he couldn't help but feel good, and there were faint feelings that could not be said.

This road is getting slower and slower, from Xuyi to the territory of Huiji, but a thousand miles away, the two rode the old horse for nearly a month.

Stop and stop along the way, and when you see famous landscapes, you will go up to have a visit, sometimes even stay for several days. Yu Miaoyi didn't urge, in fact, she was even more reluctant to go home. Along the way, I traveled with Han Xin, talking and laughing from time to time, and I was very happy, but I couldn't wait for this road to be finished.

Although she is still young and doesn't understand the relationship between men and women, she feels that she is very happy with Han Xin, and she is reluctant to go home at the thought of going home.

On this day, the two walked along the post road for most of the day, Han Xin looked up at the sky, it was already close to dusk, so he said to Yu Miaoyi: "It's almost dark, let's find a place to rest." ”

Yu Miaoyi nodded. Along the way, he got along with Han Xin, although he slept in the barren mountains and mountains most of the time, Han Xin did not let him suffer much. Although he usually seems to be giggling and not serious, he is surprisingly safe in getting things done, and he can always find ways to make some of the best accommodation and food.

Sure enough, I didn't go far before I saw a deserted post station, although it was dilapidated, but it could also shelter from the wind and rain.

There is a certain standard for the interval between the post station and the post station, Han Xin is mentally calculating the distance between the two post stations on the post road, and calculating from the post station where he stayed on the previous post station, he can probably get to the next post station before the evening.

The inn looked to have been abandoned for a long time, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the broken rubble, and from time to time a few crows were startled by a few foraging crows, and they were --- and screaming. Looking at the patterns on the walls of the post station, it should have been established during the period of the old Chu State. After the Qin State unified the six countries, it opened up and built straight roads to connect the north and south. Post stations on country roads like this are slowly falling into disuse.

Han Xin pushed open the false door of the post station, and found that there was a white horse tied to the pillar beam next to it, and a person was already sitting inside.

The man sat on a haystack in the corner, and by the afterglow of the broken window, he held a dead branch in his left hand, and was hesitating where to write. On the ground was an image drawn from dead branches, with a few messy lines and circles.

The man was intently looking at the picture on the ground, oblivious to the arrival of the two.

"Excuse me, dude." Han Xin was not polite, bolted the horse and sat down next to the man with a big grin, and said loudly.

The man raised his head at this time, looked at Han Xin and was stunned for a moment, and said with some surprise: "It turned out to be you, this little brother." Then he smiled at Yu Miaoyi slightly apologetically, and explained: "I was concentrating on thinking about it just now, and I was rude for a while, I hope you two will forgive me." ”

This person is the person who met in Xuyi City a few days ago.

Yu Miaoyi also smiled back sweetly, said hello, sat down next to Han Xin, and straightened her somewhat messy hair.

Seeing that Han Xin had been staring at the picture he had drawn, the man couldn't help but feel strange in his heart, and couldn't help but ask, "You also know Jiugong opera?" ”

Han Xin smiled slightly and nodded. The man was immediately interested, picked up a piece of dead branch from the ground, drew a new picture beside him, drew a small circle in the picture, and then raised his head and looked at Han Xin with a smile.

Qianyuan with nine. Great Qianyuan, the beginning of ten thousand materials. No matter what happens later, when you start to occupy this position, you will occupy the center of the world, and you can attack and retreat and defend in the near future. The man was decent in his hands, and he used the technique of Yang Mou King's Road.

That person has been playing nine palace dramas with himself for a long time, and it is rare to meet someone who can also do this trick, so his face is happy, and he has the heart of competition.

Han Xin thought for a while, picked up a dead branch and drew a fork in the lower left corner.

Kun Six. The terrain is good, and the gentleman carries things with virtue. Since you occupy the heavenly time, I will take advantage of the location, and the center will go immediately, and I will start from the corner and slay your great dragon. The soldiers are dangerous, using the tricks of the soldiers.

The two of you came and went, and their faces gradually became solemn. The small square inch of the fight was extremely tragic, and Yu Miaoyi next to him was confused at first, but then he slowly saw that the door was coming, and gradually sank into it.

In the end, the two of them went down more and more slowly, and they had to think about each step for a long time, and they both frowned, unaware of the external object. On the picture, the general trend has been divided, the man holds the son and occupies the center, which is connected together, and Han Xin occupies the four corners, echoing each other from afar, blocking the central dragon and protruding. Although the big dragon is powerful, it has never been able to stand out. The son of the corner can only remain undefeated, but he can't help the big dragon.

Yu Miaoyi watched it for a long time, and felt that her neck was extremely sore and her eyes were sore, and then she came back to her senses and found that the sky was already dark, but the two people playing chess were unaware.

At this time, the man suddenly laughed "haha" and abandoned the branch to the ground. said: "Happy, happy, I haven't played such a hearty chess game for a long time." ”

After speaking, he looked at Han Xin with a smile, secretly paying this person's high talent, which is really rare, I originally thought that he was extraordinary when he was in Xuyi, but now he thinks a little higher.

According to legend, the Nine Palaces Opera was created by Jiang Taigong on the bank of Weishui, and was endowed with chess principles with the momentum of the world, including the study of Yili River Tuluo Book, which is exquisite and extraordinary. That man has always been extremely talented in his life, but he didn't expect to be forced to be flattened by this boy who was more than ten years younger than him.

Han Xin also threw away the dead branch in his hand with a smile, and he was also very impressed in his heart.

Since Lao Niang taught him Jiugong Opera, Han Xin has been practicing hard for more than ten years in his previous life, and his only opponent is Lao Niang, and this person's chess skills can be on par with him.

It seems that there are many strange people in the world, but he Han Xin underestimated the talents in the world.

The man smiled and asked, "Dare to ask who taught the little brother chess skills." ”

Han Xin felt that he was eloquent and extraordinary, and he had the intention to get acquainted, so he told the truth: "It was taught by my mother." ”

"Awarded by Lingtang." The man's face showed surprise, seeing that Han Xin didn't look like a fake, he said strangely: "I didn't expect there to be such a strange woman in the world, but I have never heard of it." ”

Han Xin's scalp was numb for a while, excluding the factor of domestic violence, the title of Lao Niang, a 'strange woman', is well deserved. What he had learned in more than ten years was only the surface of what she knew. The family is impoverished, but they have thousands of books. When she died, she didn't even have a complete mat, but she asked Han Xin to bury her in a place where ten thousand people could live. Such a woman, even if you look at the history books, has never seen anyone who can compare with the old lady.

"In Xia Huaiyin Han Xin, dare to ask Brother Taigui's surname." Han Xin arched his hand and said.

The man smiled slightly, and said politely: "In the lower city, father Zhang Liang." ”

"Zhang Liang, but Gu Bolang threw a hundred catties of iron cone and mistakenly hit Zhang Liang of the auxiliary car." Yu Miaoyi on the side couldn't help but cover her mouth and exhale softly. Han Xin's eyes widened even more, carefully looking at this chivalrous warrior who was famous for assassinating the First Emperor when he was a teenager.

Zhang Liang smiled slightly, nodded and said, "It's exactly below." ”

Yu Miaoyi looked Zhang Liang up and down, seeing that he was thin, and asked in disbelief; "Can you throw a hundred-pound iron cone?"

Zhang Liang laughed and said, "Girl, I don't need to play in person to throw the iron cone, I just invited a strong man." ”

Yu Miaoyi nodded, and then she believed it. Han Xin on the side suddenly interjected with a smile and said, "Brother Zhang, you trust us so much, aren't you afraid that we will go to the whistleblower." You know, your head is worth a hundred gold. ”

Zhang Liang was stunned, then clapped his hands and smiled: "If I suspect with such thoughts, it will be too underestimating the two." Liang Pingsheng is conceited and good at observing people, and you are by no means greedy and forgetful. Therefore, tell the truth, so as not to appear to be a good child. ”

Han Xin nodded, and so did his heart. Betraying such a heroic man for a mere hundred gold, he really can't do it.

But if it was a little higher, Han Xin muttered. It's hard to say, it depends on how you and my mood are.

Yu Miaoyi smiled lightly, "Brother Zhang, you also like the art of people, no wonder you asked that old Taoist last time." ”

Zhang Liang shook his head with a smile, and said in a deep voice: "This little girl, you are wrong, I am good at the art of observing people, not the theory of scholars." ”

Yu Miaoyi said: "Is there any difference between the two? ”

Zhang Liang smiled, seeing her innocent and innocent, he couldn't help but feel good, and explained with a smile: "Mutual affection is born from the heart, a person's nature and potential can be expressed through physiognomy, some people are naturally easy to get close to, and some people are born to be disgusted, which is called 'qi'." Of course, it is not enough for a person to have gas, but also to take advantage of the situation, the time, the place, and the people. For example, a person looks like an emperor, but he was born in a peaceful world and did nothing all his life, because he only has the air of an emperor, but he has no power of an emperor. So I specialize in the art of looking at people, not the art of dealing with people. ”

Seeing Yu Miaoyi bowing slightly, she said again; "For example, if you are a girl, your life is unspeakably expensive, but as a woman, you mostly borrow the power of your future husband, so this is a variable. As Han Xin's little brother said that day. The way of heaven is insignificant, and it is not something that we ordinary people can penetrate. ”

"Oh? Brother Zhang, then how do you look at my 'qi'. Han Xin said with a smile, still with that lazy smile on his face.
