The sky was darkening again, and it seemed that the day was about to pass again. This time really doesn't pass very quickly.
"It's getting late today, why don't you go to the Tianxia Chess Pavilion tomorrow?" Fang Shuran looked up.
"I think so, it's better to go back to my blacksmith shop and visit again tomorrow." The blacksmith chimed in.
I looked at the sunset on the horizon and began to set slowly, it seems that I can't catch up with the Tianxia Chess Pavilion today, so I can only discuss it tomorrow.
By the time we got back to the blacksmith, it was sunset.
"Fang Shuran, do you really know what the blacksmith said about the World Chess Pavilion?" Cui Li asked.
The candle flame flickered.
"Tianxia Chess Pavilion, I'm afraid there are no more familiar people in this Jiangling City." Fang Shuran returned to his previous smug tone.
"Then what kind of powerful people are there in the Heavenly Chess Pavilion today?" Cui Li asked eagerly.
"You haven't heard of the Tianxia Chess Pavilion, it can be seen that you are not from Jingzhou, and everyone knows the Tianxia Chess Pavilion, Jinghai Shuchi, and Youxin Qinyu in Jiangling City. Mo Qifeng of the World Chess Pavilion and Su Qinyu of Youxin Qinyu are among the best masters, if the two of them help us, how can Jiangling City trap us," Fang Shuran opened the folding fan as he spoke.
"Wait a minute, Mo Qifeng of the World Chess Pavilion, Su Qinyu of Youxin Qinyu, then who is this Jinghai Book Pool?" Cui Li's question is exactly what Fang Shuran is most willing to answer at this time.
"Speaking of this Jinghai book pool, it is even more powerful, I heard that the director of this book pool is skilled, Wen Ke can put pen to paper, Wu Ke jumped on a horse to break into the enemy formation, it is rumored that when Xiangyang was in battle, he did not forget to write poems when he rushed into battle." The more Fang Shuran spoke, the more excited he became, and he kept comparing the scene at that time.
"You've been talking for a long time, so who is this person? It's so powerful. Cui Li hadn't heard the meaning of Fang Shuran's words at this time.
"Speaking of this person, far away in the sky, close in front of him, the owner of this Jinghai Book Pond is exactly below, Fang - Shu - Ran." Fang Shuran waved the folding fan in his hand solemnly.
As expected, if it weren't for Cui Li's constant questioning, I'm afraid there would be no chance for him to show off, but what he said may be a bit exaggerated, but this person's strength is outstanding, and it is conceivable that the other two must also be very powerful. If the three of them work together, it may not be difficult to break out of this Gangneung City.
"Damn, after talking for a long time, the owner of this Jinghai Book Pool is you! If I had known, I wouldn't have asked. Cui Li said disdainfully.
"Fang Shuran, seriously, are you familiar with the Mo chess style of the World Chess Pavilion? Will this person's personality help us? β
Fang Shuran pondered for a while, "It's not easy to say, this person loves chess as much as his life, and the affairs of the world are not as important as his chess game, so it is called the World Chess Pavilion." β
It seems that even the affairs of the world are just a game of chess for him, and it is difficult for someone like this to move him to help us.
"Aren't you very familiar with him? How sure are you that you can move this person? Cui Li asked.
"It's because I know this person too well that I know that this matter is not easy." Fang Shuran didn't look at Cui Li, but looked at the dark sky outside the house, "This person played chess at the age of three, and when he was eight years old, the villagers were invincible, and the chess games at home were piled up, but regardless of the things in the world, how can you say that such a person can say that he can move." β
According to Fang Shuran, the Mo Qifeng of the Tianxia Chess Pavilion in Jiangling City, the Su Qinyu of Youxin Qinyu, and Fang Shuran of the Jinghai Book Pool standing in front of us at this time. They are all among the best masters, and wait a minute, suddenly my head starts to hurt again. I always feel that there seems to be something wrong but we are all negligent. But I can't tell what it is.
The candle flame flickered slowly, as if it was still and flowed again, and what we always thought was often not what we thought. I don't know what will happen to the Tianxia Chess Pavilion tomorrow. I seem to be a little tired, the time of the watch still hasn't changed, I don't know what time it is, is it already night in our own world? Everything is like being blocked by a screen.
At this time, everyone seemed to be tired of writing again, and Cui Li also closed his eyes and leaned against the corner of the table. The blacksmith had begun to snore. Fang Shuran also fell asleep holding the folding fan. The night seemed to be a bit long, and I looked at the stars in the sky, and suddenly felt a little melancholy in my heart.
It was still dawning again and quickly, and I woke up the three sleeping trio. Pack up your blades and prepare to go to the World Chess Pavilion.
"Is the Chess Pavilion far from here?" Cui Li rubbed his eyes and asked. I could tell he hadn't woken up yet.
"You don't know, although the Tianxia Chess Pavilion, Youxin Qinyu, and Jinghai Shuchi that I mentioned before are household names in Gangneung City, but few people know the exact location. It's not surprising, though, that the three of us don't like to be noisy. Fang Shuran walked ahead of us.
Indeed, the chess game of the Tianxia Chess Pavilion, the rhythm of the Youxin Qinyu, and the calligraphy of the Jinghai Book Pool are all to be done quietly, and naturally I don't like outsiders to disturb me. It can be seen that if we go this time, it will inevitably disturb the Mo chess style of the world's chess pavilion. What if he rejects us because of this?
We walked for a while in the direction of the main street, and then turned to a small path, passed the lotus pond, and walked past the stream pond. A chic courtyard appeared in front of us.
"Here we are, this is the day-play-chess-pavilion." Fang Shuran took out a folding fan and knocked on the gate of the courtyard a few times.
After a while, the door opened.
Jingzhou, it is generally believed that during the Eastern Han Dynasty, Jingzhou originally governed seven counties: Nanyang County, Nan County, Jiangxia County, Lingling County, Guiyang County, Wuling County, Changsha County, after the Battle of Chibi, the seven counties of Jingzhou that the soldiers must fight for were divided by Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Quan, Cao Cao occupied the largest Nanyang County in the north of Jingzhou, Sun Quan got Jiangxia County and Nan County, and Liu Bei got four counties in the south of Jingzhou (Changsha, Lingling, Guiyang, Wuling). Liu Bei's military security was not conducive to development, so he proposed to Sun Quan twice to borrow the southern county of Jingzhou, and Eastern Wu Lusu persuaded Sun Quan to temporarily lend the southern county to Liu Bei, so Liu Bei had five counties of Jingzhou (Nanjun, Changsha, Lingling, Guiyang, and Wuling).

Since ancient times, the Chinese nation has divided the Han land into nine regions, the so-called "Kyushu". According to the records of "Shangshu Yugong", the order of Kyushu is: Jizhou, Chongzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Yuzhou, Liangzhou and Yongzhou. In the Zhou Dynasty, the two states of Xu and Liang were merged into Qingzhou and Yongzhou respectively, so there was no Xuzhou and Liangzhou.
