"That's not it." Lin Zicong said with a grinning - grandpa said that Tan Xiaotian is in the sky and not in the ground, if you want to say that he doesn't taste at all, it is impossible, I want to compete, but I have no bottom in my heart, so this time Zhou Shaokang took the initiative to provoke trouble, just to test Tan Xiaotian's ability, whether it is really as powerful as grandpa said.

"Hey, Zhou Shaokang, why are you stunned? Dare or don't dare, you have to reply in the end. Turning his head, he continued to call Zhou Shaokang for the battle.

"Hey, what do you mean? Soldier to soldier, soldier to general, if you go into battle, I will accompany you to the end, and now you find someone else to fight for you, why should I go out in person. Zhou Shaokang was stunned for a moment, and then said.

"Okay, then you can find someone else to fight for you. But you have to hurry, we have other things to do, if you can't find a helper now, and you don't want to fight, then this sugar man belongs to us. Lin Zicong shouted fearlessly - there are many children on the street, but who can play chess and who can't play chess, who knows? Even if there is a meeting, people don't know you Zhou Shaokang, why should they help you fight for you? As for the two stewards who are protecting each other at the moment, they may be able to play chess and be willing to stand up for Zhou Shaokang, but adults are involved in the fight between children, so do you want to be ashamed? At that time, even if he didn't protest loudly, I was afraid that the people who saw the excitement would be coaxed first.

Being called by Lin Zicong like this really stumped Zhou Shaokang for a while, he went shopping and playing today by accident, how could he know that he could meet Lin Zicong and have such a dispute, so he didn't bring his usual good friends, where to find a suitable candidate for the battle for a while? There are a few children watching the excitement around, but who knows if they can play chess? Even if you know how to play chess, you don't know the roots, how dare you hand over the heavy responsibility to them?

His eyes searched through the crowd, and finally fell on Steward Yuan, who was in charge of protecting his own safety, and the steward was a middle-aged man in his thirties. People are very clever, otherwise they would not have arranged for him to take care of Zhou Shaokang, he was startled when he saw Zhou Shaokang's eyes asking for help, and quickly shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Little master, you know, I don't know how to play chess." ”

Zhou Shaokang then turned his gaze to the other servant with a big waist and a round waist, with Steward Yuan as an example in front of him, no matter how stupid he was, he knew what to do - playing for the little young master, winning chess was no good. Because that's your own duty, but if you lose the chess and make the little master unhappy, then you will suffer the sin.

"Little master, don't look at me, Steward Yuan can't play chess, and I can't." The servant hurriedly shook his head like a drum.

"Hmph, I can't even play chess, two waste!" The only two people who could be expected to help were not bright, Zhou Shaokang scolded hatefully.

"Haha. Can't find anyone? If you can't find anyone, you just admit defeat. Seeing that Zhou Shaokang couldn't find anyone to fight, Lin Zicong smiled with a smile.

"Let me admit defeat, think beautifully! Every day, isn't it? If you're lucky, Young Master Ben will teach you two tricks today. Good pointers! "There is no way, I can't find someone to fight on my behalf for a while, and I refuse to be defeated without a fight, so Zhou Shaokang has no choice but to go out by himself.

"Good. In that case, let's not stay here, there is an elegant chess hall not far ahead. Two little masters, please move around, right? Seeing that Zhou Shaokang was fighting, Liu Bantou said with a smile, playing chess has its own place to play chess, as long as he doesn't make trouble on the street and block the road, and does not cause the people to watch, he has no responsibility, even if he has a headache, it is the operator of the chess hall who has a headache.

The old man who sold the candy sighed and followed behind with his burden, neither had a chance to slip away, nor did he have the courage to slip away.

There are a lot of chess halls in Yangzhou City, the big ones can accommodate hundreds of people at the same time, the small ones may only have one or two chess tables, of course, one or two chess tables belong to the best of the best, the environment is excellent, the fee is also very high, only accept reservations, do not receive retail investors, by no means ordinary people can afford to consume, as for the elegant chess hall, the grade is more than enough than the next one, two floors of small buildings, the hall on the first floor is mainly a place for general chess fans to play chess, there are sixteen chess tables, chess equipment is rented for two pennies, tea is a penny, if it is a color plate, Bet on 1 out of 10, and the winnings will be counted separately. The second floor is a private seat, only with eight chess tables, whether it is chess sets or furniture tables and chairs, the grade is much higher than downstairs, the rent and tea fees are naturally the same, the operator of the chess hall is surnamed Zhao Ming Tienan, is a nine-grade chess player, although the chess power is not high in Yangzhou chess world, but he is righteous, easy to make friends, and has excellent popularity.

In fact, there is not much to do to run a chess hall, renting chess equipment, betting on the lottery are all responsible for the apprentices, Zhao Tienan's main job is to take stock of the accounts, greet guests, and accompany the guests to play a few games of chess every day.

"I heard that yesterday Li Qiusheng planted a big heel and gave off to the Nine Sons Bureau with a six-year-old little doll, but he was killed by others and lost more than 200 meshes." At this time, as usual, Zhao Tienan was drinking tea and chattering with a few old friends upstairs, one of the old friends said.

"Really? With Li Qiusheng's chess strength, isn't it? Another fan was skeptical.

"Oh, his chess strength is naturally not bad, but he is usually too self-righteous, overestimating himself, underestimating his opponent, thinking that other children are young and easy to bully, but he didn't expect to run into a tough ball this time, and was ruthlessly placed by others, not only lost chess, but also lost twenty taels of silver, twenty taels!" The previous chess fan stretched out two fingers and shook them exaggeratedly in front of everyone.

"What? Lost twenty taels? Really? The other chess fans were very interested when they heard this number and hurriedly asked.

"Of course it's true, my second uncle and grandfather saw it with their own eyes, so there can be fake. Pavilion Master Zhao, you should know too, right? The chess fan asked Zhao Tienan.

"I've heard of this, but I haven't been confirmed by friends in the circle, but it's groundless, there must be a reason, and the thing can spread so widely, I think it's more likely to be true." Zhao Tienan replied after smiling. (To be continued......)
