Chapter 039: The Pawn Crossing the River (Part I)
"Charcoal, charcoal, big news, big news!"
The next morning, Tong Xiangyu, who had just gone out, rushed back to the guest room in a hurry.
Mu Tang was putting his legs on the table, reading a book while eating snacks, and when he heard Tong Xiangyu's shouting, he didn't raise his head and said, "Did you win the lottery ticket you bought?" ”
Tong Xiangyu came to Mu Tang with a gust of wind, "No, no, it's a fight." ”
"Fighting? What do you mean? ”
"Professor Ou of our school, I got into a fight with Professor Zhou Lie of Kyoto University last night! It seems that Professor Xiang Tianlong of Wuzhen University also made a move. I heard that Lingyun Pavilion was almost demolished by them. ”
Only then did Mu Tang raise his head and say, "Really? ”
Tong Xiangyu said: "It's spread outside, so can it be fake?" It's a mess out there right now. Originally, there was another training operation today, but now it was suddenly canceled. You don't know, just now my brother was walking on the road, and when those people from Kyoto University saw my brother, they all looked like they were going to eat my brother alive, and I scared my brother to death. ”
Mu Tang threw "Black Death" on the coffee table, "The professors of the three schools have all done it, this is really big news." Did you say why you moved your hand? ”
Tong Xiangyu said: "Yes." Now there's everything out there. For example, some say that our Jinghua killed the other two schools because they monopolized the treasure, some say that we Jinghua and Kyoto teamed up to engage in martial arts, and some people say that Kyoto University got some 'ancient relics' and wanted to kill people in order to hide the truth. ”
Mu Tang listened to it, pouting disdainfully, he believed that someone must be behind his back as a-stirring stick, completely muddying and messing things up, when the time comes, who is right and who is wrong, who is true and who is false, it doesn't matter, it's harder than whose fist.
But when it really comes to the point where you want to tear your face and do it, everyone will refrain from doing it, after all, doing it means bloodshed and death. At this time, as long as a "peacemaker" jumps out, things will often enter the stage of ripping off, and finally it will not be resolved.
However, Mu Tang had already thought of this. Therefore, none of the talents of Wuzhen University came back, but the teachers and students of Kyoto who were the "victims" came back with a few survivors, and on the contrary, Wang Chaofeng of Jinghua University, who was the "culprit", did not come back.
All of this has stimulated the nerves and bottom lines of the three schools to the greatest extent.
So far, except for those who have experienced it firsthand, none of the people in the three schools know the truth of the matter, and they don't believe the words of either side - of course, Jinghua's side is a little confused, but they also have reason to suspect the other two schools, just because Wang Chaofeng did not come back!
In such a situation, who still has the prestige and courage to stand up and be a peacemaker?
Tong Xiangyu said: "If it goes on like this, we don't have to go through it this time, there are so many people in three schools, and it may not be what it will look like." By the way, there is one more thing, it seems that someone found silver bricks in the lower reaches of a river. Charcoal, could it be the treasure you are talking about? ”
"Quite possibly. It must have been washed downstream by the river. ”
Tong Xiangyu immediately jumped up, "Then what are you waiting for?" Let's go pick it up. It's too late, but I'm going to pick it up for others. ”
Mu Tang glanced at her, "You really want money and don't want to die." Even if you hear that there is money to pick up, others will not know? You're not running to pick up money, you're going to grab it. Have you robbed it? ”
Tong Xiangyu said: "Well, that's right." Even if we have the money to pick it up, with our strength, how can we rob others. ”
"It's good to know. And, for some, it's not just the silver bricks that are really tempting. It's where the silver bricks used to be. Therefore, there will even be a soul qi person with extraordinary strength to intervene in the investigation. Now those silver bricks are a pit, and anyone who comes close will fall into them. ”
Tong Xiangyu let out an "oh", "Huh? Wrong. ”
Mu Tang asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"You seem to be so smart all of a sudden." In fact, Tong Xiangyu still faintly felt that since she came to this "Golden Dragon City", Mu Tang has changed a little, but what is different, she doesn't know at all, it's just a feeling.
“…… My cleverness is all contrasting. ”
Tong Xiangyu "cut", "Praise you, and you're still scolded." ”
She obviously didn't hear the meaning of Mu Tang's words.
After speaking, she sat down heavily on the sofa, and the good bouncing power of the sofa almost bounced Mu Tang up, "Alas, suddenly there is nothing to do, I can't watch movies and television, and I don't have to play games, it's so boring." ”
Mu Tang said: "Read the book." After I go back, I will almost have to take the monthly exam again. Hurry up and review. ”
"I'd rather die."
Mu Tang guessed that this was the answer, "Otherwise, let's do something very interesting, right?" The kind that two people do together? ”
Tong Xiangyu immediately looked at Mu Tang with the eyes of a thief, "What do you want to do?" ”
What do you want to do? There is ambiguity in this question. Mu Tang said embarrassedly: "I secretly told you that in the last ruins exploration operation, I secretly left a good thing. You wait. ”
Soon Mu Tang took out a box, which was full of round cake-shaped stones, and each small round cake stone had a word on it, which was still in ancient Chinese, with "pawn", "horse", "elephant", "cannon", "car", and so on.
Tong Xiangyu curiously took out a stone with red letters written on it, and it was slightly warm to the touch, "What is this?" ”
"Let's let you read more often. This is chess...... Well, ancient chess. Mu Tang put a white round cake stone, which was also a slight white stone, on the coffee table, and with a light touch, a rectangular chessboard composed of light was unfolded, and said, "There are very few people who can play this kind of ancient chess now. Just a little bit of me. I found this in the ruins and secretly hid it. Come on, it's boring anyway, let's kill two sets. You don't understand what I'm teaching you. ”
Tong Xiangyu likes to get in touch with new things very much-although she will soon lose interest, hearing Mu Tang say this, she immediately became interested.
"This is a horse, and the horse walks in Japanese, like this. And then this is the elephant, go to the field grid. The generals and commanders can only sit in this tent and cannot go out. Before crossing the river, the pawn can only go forward one block at a time, and only after crossing this Chu River Han boundary can he go left or right, but he still can't go back......"
Mu Tang briefly explained the basic rules of chess, "Do you understand?" ”
Tong Xiangyu said: "I thought it was complicated, it's very simple." I have a question though. According to what you just said, even if you are a pawn, can you eat the general? It can't be. ”
This was common knowledge in ancient times, but now, the existence that can become a general and a handsome person is all a powerful soul warrior, and the pawns are almost like them, how can the pawns eat the generals?
Mu Tang picked up a pawn chess piece and said: "There is a saying in chess, a pawn crossing the river is a rook, and the rook is the most powerful unit in chess." It's not just about strength. Rather, as long as you do the right thing at the right time, even if you are a pawn, you can eat an existence that is much stronger than yourself. ”
Tong Xiangyu said: "It's so profound. ”
"That's what the book says."
"Qi, I thought you said it."
As he spoke, Mu Tang had already set up the confrontation between the red and black wives.
Mu Tang was red, Tong Xiangyu was black, and the two stumbled and played against each other. In the first three games, Tong Xiangyu was eaten by Mu Tang and couldn't find the north, and she was very crazy. Especially in the third game, there was only one "handsome" left to be eaten. However, from the fourth game, she began to enter the rhythm, and even began to use her pawns to encroach on Mu Tang's realm little by little after crossing the river.
As a result, although Mu Tang won the fourth game, it was obviously not as easy as before. Subsequently, in the fifth and sixth games, Mu Tangying's became more and more difficult. On the contrary, Tong Xiangyu is playing more and more energetically, and she is getting more and more slippery.
When it came to the tenth game, Mu Tang was defeated, and she was directly hit by a trick of "cannon piercing the heart", which lifted the nest, and she jumped and jumped and jumped in a straight way! Next, with the tenth game as the watershed, Mu Tang lost five games in a row. Although Tong Xiangyuying's is not easy, each game takes longer and longer, anyway, the result is that Mu Tang loses.
"Hahaha, it's easy. One more plate! Brother lost nine games, and he had to win it back. "If this girl had a tail, she would have gone up to the sky at this time.
Mu Tang said: "Come on, who is afraid of whom?" ”
But before he had taken a few steps in the sixteenth game, there was a knock on the door.
"Who, this is?" Tong Xiangyu said impatiently.
Mu Tang threw down the chess pieces and said, "Eighty percent came to me." It seems that this chess game will not be successful. ”
He stood up and went to open the door, and found that the people standing outside the door were all acquaintances, namely Wu Daogang, Li Feibai, and Wen Qingwu, who lived next door.
Speaking of which, since the day before yesterday, Mu Tang went to "lure away" the ancient machine beast, and only now did he see Wen Qingwu again. The two are just separated by a wall, and considering the previous bit of "fateful friendship", this is obviously a little abnormal.
However, Mu Tang didn't care about this, and just as he was about to open his mouth to ask about his intentions, Wu Daogang outside had already spoken, "Let's go." Just two words, just say it and leave.
Mu Tang could only shout into the room, telling Tong Xiangyu that he had gone out beforehand, and followed behind the three of Wu Daogang.
Li Feibai followed Wen Qingwu's side closely, and didn't even glance at Mu Tang.
Wen Qingwu glanced at Mu Tang and said hello.
The four of them didn't say a word all the way, and once again came to Professor Ou Ming's room. In addition to him, Guanhai Dance, Wu Yeyan, and several other teachers.
Ou Ming said: "Coming? Sit it all down. I have come to you because I have something to explain to you. Wait, we, Jinghua, as well as Kyoto, Wushi, and seven other universities, will have a party. There will be some questions for you. Don't be too nervous, just answer truthfully. The rest of our teachers will take care of it. Got it? ”
Mu Tang asked knowingly: "Professor Ou, answer truthfully yes ......"
Wu Yeyan said: "Do you still need to ask this?" Is your brain not busy? ”
Ou Ming said: "Teacher Wu, don't scare the child. That's right, just answer truthfully, what the actual situation is, you say anything. Of course, if you don't ask, you don't have to answer. Qing Wu, you too. ”
Wen Qingwu said: "Yes, Teacher Ou." ”
Ou Ming said: "Okay. You go to that room first to get ready and adjust your mood. ”
So Mu Tang and Wen Qingwu walked into the room a few steps away together, closed the door, and the lonely man and widow were in the same room.
Li Feibai looked at this scene with flickering eyes.
