Chapter 576: A New Teacher
"Hehe, the reason is very simple, because you are the grandson of General Zhao. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Zheng Jili replied with a smile.
Instead of racking your brains to think about those beautiful reasons that want to cover up, it is better to tell the truth and tell the other party the most important reason - but it is not difficult for anyone with normal intelligence to think of the reason, no matter how clever you are, it is impossible to hide from the other party, Zhao Mengtu is a military general and not a chess player, if you say that you have apprenticed for the sake of chess skills, it will make the other party think hypocritical.
"Uh......, haha, Mr. Zheng, you are really upright." Zhao Mengtu naturally wanted to get such a reason, but he didn't expect Zheng Jili to say it so bluntly, didn't he say that literati like the subtle beauty of beating around the bush, why did the other party change his routine and play honesty? The words are true, but in my heart, there is still a little bit of unclear feeling.
"Hehe, because you are the grandson of General Zhao, if you learn chess with you every day, then no matter what the outcome of the chess battle in a month will be, both sides will be winners." Zheng Jili smiled and replied with a sincere expression.
"Well......, it makes sense......", since the other party told the truth and didn't mean to fool himself, Zhao Mengtu also began to take it seriously - indeed, in the chess battle a month later, if grandpa wins, it is called the sword is not old, and the tiger is still heroic, if Tan Xiaotian wins, it is a hero from a young man, and the blue is better than the blue, the key to this is that he is the middleman who is related to both sides, as long as others think that Tan Xiaotian chess is taught by himself, Then this chess battle is an entertainment game between one's own people, so the focus is on this title, and it doesn't matter who Tan Xiaotian actually learned to play chess with.
"Oh, so General Zhao is willing?" Seeing Zhao Mengtu nodding slightly, Zheng Jili was overjoyed and hurriedly asked.
"Hehe, since it's a win-win result, Tiantian's teacher is nothing, but I have two conditions, see if you can agree, if not, Mr. Zheng has to ask for another famous teacher for Tiantian." Zhao Mengtu smiled slightly, and put forward his own conditions - the so-called Heaven and Earth Monarch is a teacher, apprenticeship is not a joke, even if it is just a month's fate, it has to be taken seriously.
"What conditions? General Zhao might as well speak it out and listen to it. "There is hope if there is a discussion, what I am most afraid of is the kind of polite soft nails, Zheng Jili hurriedly asked.
"First, Zhao is a soldier and has military affairs, so he can't leave the barracks lightly, so during the period of teaching chess, he can only live in the barracks like me every day." Zhao Mengtu replied -- this request is very reasonable, teaching people to play chess is a private matter, his main job is an officer, and there are thousands of people in charge below, the so-called military law is like a mountain, as a soldier, everything must abide by the rules of the army during the service, and you can't do whatever you want, otherwise, who would dare to lead such an uncontrollable and unpredictable army to the battlefield? Although this is an important place in Beijing and there is no problem of war, without the permission of the superiors, even the third generation of the army like Zhao Mengtu does not dare to leave his post lightly.
"This ....., the distance between the military camp and the capital is not close, it takes more than two hours to go back and forth, and it is not realistic to run back and forth every day, but every day I have to enter the palace four times a month to teach Princess Crescent to play chess, ......, let every day live in the barracks this month, every time I want to enter the palace The night before I send someone to pick him up, and then send the barracks the next day, General Zhao, what do you think?" After thinking about it, Zheng Jili asked.
"Yes, yes. Second, don't make a noise about learning to play chess with me every day, and don't let my grandfather know about it before the chess battle. Zhao Mengtu nodded, and then put forward the second condition.
"This ....., General Zhao, I can guarantee that the news will not be leaked, but there is a so-called paper that can't contain fire, and can't wrap a cone in a bag, and it may not be a big problem in a few days or ten days, but for such a long time, I'm afraid it's difficult not to be known by others." Zheng Jili replied very hesitantly - the reason why he went to find Zhao Mengtu here was because of the identity of the other party, the grandson of the old general Zhao, if it was kept secret and not let others know, wouldn't it be a pearl to secretly invest and waste of effort? Of course, he will not refuse in one go, after all, this is not an unacceptable condition.
"Hehe, I just want to surprise my grandfather and catch my grandfather off guard, otherwise with my grandfather's personality and style, once I know that I am learning chess every day, I will be asked to interrogate at the end of three days, and I have no choice but not to go. Therefore, try to keep it as secret as possible on your side, and if you can be one day late, you can be one day late. As for my side, hehe, Mr. Zheng can rest assured. Zhao Mengtu smiled confidently.
"......, okay, since General Zhao said so, then Zheng will do his best." Zheng Jili pondered for a moment, then nodded and made a guarantee - Zhao Mengtu's meaning is very clear, he has absolute certainty on the army's side to ensure that the news will not be transmitted, so if the matter spreads, the problem is his own side, and the words have been said at this point, what can he do except agree? Fortunately, the other party is just afraid that the news will be leaked and annoyed by the grandfather, and when the day of the game is approaching, he will pass out a little gossip through others, and he can also achieve the intended goal.
"Hehe, okay, this is the matter, I wonder when Mr. Zheng plans to start every day?" Zhao Mengtu is quick to talk and decisive, since the two sides have reached a consensus, the next thing is how to implement it.
"Oh, tomorrow I will send him to the palace to report every day, set a teaching schedule for this month, if there is no problem, let him come to the military camp to learn chess with General Zhao before tomorrow night." Zheng Jili replied - the date of the chess battle with General Zhao has already been set, and the time to delay is his own time, so it is better to start a day earlier than a day later.
"Well, it's okay, I need to do some preparation here." Zhao Mengtu also nodded after hearing this, and agreed - he also has experience in teaching people to play chess, but the object is the two daughters in Zhang Xiangye's family, not so much to teach chess, but to find an excuse to accompany the beautiful woman, the attitude is different, this time to teach is a genius chess boy who just learned to play chess and killed Zhang Qiyun so that he dare not see people, if he is not ready, don't be asked at that time.
"Hehe, since the matter is settled, then Zheng will leave first, and say goodbye to Mr. Zhao every day." After the matter was done, Zhao Mengtu didn't plan to stay longer, got up to say goodbye, and by the way, he confirmed the relationship between the other party and Tan Xiaotian's teacher and student.
"Teacher Zhao, see you tomorrow." Tan Xiaotian bowed and said according to his words, and in a blink of an eye, the eldest brother became a teacher. (To be continued.) )
