Walking on the road to Lanxin Hall in the middle of the night, Jiang Beiran looked up at the sky full of stars, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Sure enough, all men are cheap. ’

When he first came to this world, Jiang Beiran loved to appreciate the beautiful starry sky very much, because it was something he had never seen before.

But after such a long time, Jiang Beiran suddenly began to miss the neon night scene of the long street of the once modern city, where there was no starry sky and only clouds.

walked into Lan Xinxuan with emotion all the way, and now that it is a child, there are only a few tables left in the chess hall that are still lit by candlelight.

After all, even in Lanxin Hall, playing chess is also a secondary class, and most of the disciples still choose to go to bed early and not delay tomorrow's morning practice.

In the corner, Mo Xia held an ancient chess book in his left hand, and dropped a piece on the chessboard from time to time with his right hand.

"Dah."

The crisp sound of falling pieces on the chessboard sounded, and Mo Xia, who realized that he had not fallen into the game, raised his head suddenly and said in surprise: "Senior brother! ”

"Come out with me."

"Yes!" After Mo Xia finished speaking, he immediately blew out the candle and followed Jiang Beiran with the chessboard.

Taking Mo Xia back to his hut, Jiang Beiran lit two candles and said, "Sit down, what do you want to drink." ”

"Senior brother, I'll make tea." Mo Xia put down the chessboard and said.

"Those who come are guests, how can there be a reason for guests to make tea, is Cuiluo tea used to drinking?"

"I like it very much, thank you, brother."

After making a pot of hot tea, Jiang Beiran sat down at the table and took out the Yinglong jade chessboard in the Qiankun ring, which was the prize for winning the chess championship in the Yingjie Tournament before, but unfortunately he has been very busy since then, and he has not used it much until now.

"Use this chessboard."

When Mo Xia heard this, he immediately put away his chessboard and nodded and said yes.

Needless to say, Mo Xia consciously insisted on white first.

"Da, da, da......"

As the sound of falling pieces continued to sound, the situation on the chessboard began to become anxious.

"Hu ......" blew the hot air on the teacup, and Jiang Beiran looked at Mo Xia who was thinking seriously with some surprise.

'It's really progressing so fast. ’

Compared to the last time he was in the Moon Occultation Sect, Mo Xia's chess skills have not improved a little bit.

"Dah."

Landing a sunspot on the [forbidden] position, Jiang Beiran spoke: "Did you win the process auditorium?" ”

Mo Xia, who was being suppressed by his senior brother's [block], was stunned for a while before replying, "Win...... Won. ”

Jiang Beiran smiled slightly, "Haha, have you won?" ”

"Am I ...... Don't you deserve to win? Moxia asked, looking up.

"There's nothing you shouldn't do, just do whatever you want, and go on."

"Yes."

Lowering his head again and thinking for a long time, Mo Xia picked up a white piece and landed on the [Jane] position on the chessboard.

'Oh? Jiang Beiran raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Didn't you even jump into such a tempting trap." ’

Nodding affirmatively, Jiang Beiran felt another sunspot and fell.

"Da!" With a bang, this son seemed to fall on Mo Xia's heart, he had just been glad that he had escaped the attack trap laid by the trap, but he found that because he was only thinking about how to avoid it, he disrupted the previous situation.

'No...... It's not just me, my brother's own layout is also disrupted, and I still have a chance! Mo Xia thought about it, grabbed a white child and landed on the seventeenth of thirteen, [climbing]!

"Interesting...... It's really interesting. ”

Seeing that Mo Xia not only did not defend cautiously, but wanted to take advantage of the situation to counterattack, Jiang Beiran suddenly felt very happy.

Although Jiang Beiran is not a chess nerd, Go has brought him a lot of happiness, and when he racks his brains to break the game, it is like drinking a bottle of ice in the summer, not to mention how refreshing it is.

But as the chess power gets higher and higher, the loneliness of being too invincible makes Jiang Beiran gradually no longer so enthusiastic about Go, after all, there must be two masters to be interesting, otherwise there is really no joy in bullying the 1st level trumpet at level 100.

And at the moment when Mo Xia fell just now, the long-lost sense of fun returned to Jiang Beiran's mind.

'Don't you play chess according to the routine...... I like it. ’

In the end, this game of chess fought until the ugly three quarters, and it ended with Mo Xia admitting defeat.

When Mo Xia was cleaning up the chessboard, Jiang Beiran took a sip of tea and said: "In the future, every three days, you will come here to play chess with me, of course, if I am not there, you don't have to wait." ”

Mo Xia, who was cleaning up the chess pieces, raised his head with ecstasy on his face and said, "Thank you, senior brother!" Thank you, brother! I'll be sure to be there on time! ”

Looking at Mo Xia's hands that were so excited that he had nowhere to put them, Jiang Beiran changed the topic and said, "By the way, you play against each other every day, can you learn the exercises with good intentions?" ”

"Yes." Mo Xia nodded, "Li Law Enforcement said that if my cultivation is not improved enough, I will be expelled from the hall, so I start playing chess every day after I finish my cultivation." ”

"Then you really don't practice at all."

Jiang Beiran saw that Mo Xia's current cultivation was the first order of the Xuan, and the rule of Lanxin Hall was that within two years of entry, as long as he did not stay in Qi cultivation, he would not be expelled.

Lowering his head a little embarrassed, Mo Xia replied, "Because I still think that playing chess is more interesting than practicing." ”

After listening to Mo Xia's answer, Jiang Beiran suddenly flashed a thought, and said: "Playing chess is important, but cultivation can't be left behind, so let's do it, isn't our hall going to compete with Shuijing Hall once a month, every time you improve your ranking, I will accompany you to play two more games of chess, how about it?" ”

Blinked his eyes twice, and after making sure that he had heard correctly, Mo Xia nodded violently, "Okay! I will definitely try my best! ”

"You're confident." Jiang Beiran said with a smile.

Mo Xia scratched his head and whispered, "Confidence...... I don't have much confidence, but I'll do my best! ”

"Okay, let's do another game." Jiang Beiran looked at the chessboard that had been packed up and said.

"Yes!"

The reason why Jiang Beiran suddenly had this idea is because Mo Xia looks like that kind of tool man who is very useful, and secondly, if he can play Go so well, his brain will definitely not be stupid, unless it is a strange thing like Qing Huan, otherwise it should not be too difficult to cultivate the exercises.

In addition, now that he has more and more problems to deal with, the little brother is really not enough, and it is rare to find a good one, so it doesn't hurt to try it.

The two of them went down until dawn, thinking that they would have to meet those patriarchs later, so Jiang Beiran covered the chess stick and said, "Let's go down here today." ”

Although Mo Xia was still unsatisfied, he still bowed and thanked, "Thank you Senior Brother for your advice." ”

Picking up his chessboard, Mo Xia was just about to leave when he heard his senior brother shouting.

"Wait a minute."

"What else does Senior Brother command?" Mo Xia asked, looking back.

"I've got this chessboard for you." Jiang Beiran picked up the chessboard and said.

"Huh!?" Mo Xia was stunned for a moment and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No merit is not rewarded, this is too precious." ”

"You haven't slept all night, are you tired now?" Jiang Beiran asked.

"This ......" Mo Xia replied with some surprise after hearing this: "Not only is it not, but it is very energetic." ”

"Well, this is the role of this Yinglong chessboard, in the future, you have to play hard, but also take care of practice, this chessboard should be able to help you a lot."

"But ......"

"Don't be, good saddle with BMW, take it, you played a few games just now, keep up the good work, and strive to let me enjoy more interesting games like this."

Listening to Senior Brother's tone that could not be refused, Mo Xia clenched his fists and nodded vigorously: "I will definitely not disappoint Senior Brother!" ”

After speaking, he took the chessboard with both hands, saluted towards Jiang Beiran, and said, "Thank you, senior brother." ”

"Well, go ahead."

"Yes, senior brother, you should rest early."

After speaking, Mo Xia pushed open the door and left the cabin.

The moment he closed the door, Mo Xia held the Yinglong chessboard and turned it around several times, and he couldn't help himself with excitement at the thought that he would be able to play against his senior brother every three days in the future, and that he would have the opportunity to play more.

"Shhh

In the midst of her excitement, Mo Xia suddenly felt a chill all over her body, as if she was being targeted by something extremely terrifying.

In a panic, Mo Xia hurriedly looked around for a while, and saw that there was no one, so he hurriedly hid the chessboard in his arms and ran towards his room.

When.

Jiang Beiran took a carriage to Cangtao City, as the largest city in Lulin County, the prosperity of Cangtao City can be ranked even in the entire Fengzhou.

However, prosperity is limited to this world, and for Jiang Beiran, who has lived in the metropolis of the 21st century, this Cangtao City can be said to be dirty and messy.

Muddy roads, people who defecate in the open and dogs and pigs, Jiang Beiran was really almost smoked and vomited when he first came to this world, but after getting used to it, his nose seemed to automatically block these smells, at least not so pungent as he was at the beginning.

The side of the road is full of mountains of garbage and waste, and at a glance, it is not a big problem to say that this is a mountain of garbage.

Jiang Beiran has also been strange before, the farmers of this world understand the importance of fertilization, and the extremely lucrative profession of dung digger also came into being.

But no matter what era, there is no shortage of "shrewd" people, these dung diggers often deliberately do not remove the fecal garbage in time for the sky-high price, and after it is piled up, the citizens who can't stand it have to pinch their noses and agree to the various harsh requirements of the dung diggers.

As for why the government doesn't care, because the evil feudal society has no municipal departments, let alone the Environmental Protection Bureau.

Take a hundred steps back, even if there is an environmental protection bureau, there are still places to dump garbage everywhere in the 21st century, let alone here.

'Soon, soon, the concrete road will be there soon. ’

Lowering the car curtain, Jiang Beiran imagined that the city was no longer muddy and dirty.

"That should give you a little bit of a taste of home......

After driving through the intricate roads, the carriage stopped in front of a luxurious mansion, which was usually dedicated to receiving the envoys of the Guixin Sect, and the decoration and configuration inside were the top of the era.

After all, for all the local families in Fengzhou, the Guixin Sect is the real "emperor".

As soon as he got out of the car, Jiang Beiran saw a middle-aged man in a coat come up and kneel in front of him and shouted: "The grass people greet Your Majesty, long live the emperor, long live long live." ”

If you come to the previous emperor, this middle-aged man will not bow down, and if he doesn't give a white eye, he will give you face.

After all, the seven-rank official in front of the prime minister, as a peripheral member of the special counterpart to the Heart Sect, would he still be afraid of an emperor? Do you dare to offend Lao Tzu and try it?

But Jiang Beiran is different, this is not only the emperor, but also a disciple of the Guixin Sect, and even Lord Bai Fan specially came to order that they must be well received, and if there is a slight mistake, they will be exiled from their entire family.

Under such an order, the middle-aged man was naturally sincerely afraid, and took out one hundred and twenty percent enthusiasm to receive the new emperor of Shengguo.

"Flatten, is the reception room ready?" Jiang Beiran asked.

"Ready, according to your command, of the highest standard."

"Okay, take me to see it."

"Yes, please here."

Under the leadership of the middle-aged man, Jiang Beiran came to a living room, where there were all kinds of glazed cups, all kinds of gold, porcelain, and ivory carvings, which could be called magnificent.

"It's nicely furnished."

"Thank you for your praise." The middle-aged man hurriedly bowed.

After inspecting around again, Jiang Beiran found that this hotel was really no worse than his dormitory, which was in stark contrast to the streets outside.

"Get out, I'll be here for a while." After entering a side room, Jiang Beiran said to the middle-aged housekeeper.

"Yes, Your Majesty, if you have something to do, just shout, and the little one is waiting outside." After saying that, he knew the rules very well and stepped back.

An hour later, the middle-aged housekeeper knocked on the door of the wing room and said, "Your Majesty, the Wang family has also arrived, and the villain has arranged for them to wait in the west hall." ”

With a "squeak", the door of the wing room was opened, and Jiang Beiran walked out and asked, "Are you almost there?" ”

The middle-aged butler bent down and replied, "Back to Your Majesty, only the Liu family and the Li family are missing, and the other families have all arrived." ”

"It's all for me."

"Yes, please rest assured, Your Majesty." The middle-aged housekeeper raised his head as he spoke, but the whole person was stunned.

'Where's the fairy!?' ’

At this moment, behind Jiang Beiran, there are two women with completely different temperaments, but they are both extremely beautiful, and a middle-aged housekeeper who comes out at random feels that even the first beauty in Cangtao City, Ji Tao, cannot be compared.

However, he didn't dare to ask more, or even look at it, so he quickly lowered his head again and said, "The villain will continue to entertain distinguished guests." ”

"Well, go ahead." Jiang Beiran nodded.

"Let's talk about it first, I won't serve tea and water to those people!" As soon as the middle-aged housekeeper left, Mu Yao, who had just been picked up by Jiang Beiran from the palace, raised his head and said.

Jiang Beiran turned his head and glanced at her after hearing this.

As soon as she saw Jiang Beiran's eyes, Mu Yao immediately shrunk her neck and said, "Those people will oppress the people...... I don't ......."

Halfway through the words, Mu Yao, who felt a majestic aura slowly enveloping herself, shouted, "I know!" Just this once! ”

The reason why Jiang Beiran wanted to bring Deng Xianghan and Mu Yao was because he thought that if those big men came with beautiful maids later, but he didn't, wouldn't he lose in the aura?

That's why I flew back and brought these two over, after all, in terms of beauty, these two are still very capable of fighting.
