Chapter 169: Dipterocarp Aftertaste
Dr. Dragon Scale had the intention to push, but Xie Jiulang said as he unfolded the chessboard by himself, so that he could wait for Dr. Dragon Scale to sit across from him.
Dr. Dragon Scale is the ancestor of the Beijing School of ancient book restoration, and he is quite prestigious in this industry. He is also a proud reader, and he will not be easily driven by others. Except for the first emperor, Dr. Long Scale only obeyed Zhao Niangzi's words.
When Zhao Niangzi was a child, she wanted to listen to Dr. Long Scale's talk about the ancients, so she would use this kind of forced invitation. Almost every time, Dr. Dragonscale loses to her with a smile and tells her a good and gripping story.
Zhao Niangzi's eyes widened without blinking, and the lovely demeanor of listening carefully lingered in Dr. Dragon Scale's mind and lingered.
Through Xie Jiulang's thin and handsome back, Dr. Dragon Scale seemed to see the beautiful young boy with combed hair, smart and clever, with many strange ideas hidden in his little head. She always pulls the bat jade heng worn by the first emperor's waist and is coquettish, and when she plays chess, she refuses to follow the rules and regulations.
In the guest year, Liu Yuan reopened the Daping Palace, and after whitewashing it inside and out, he summoned Zhao Jin into the palace, and Dr. Long Scale also thought that if he could see Zhao Niangzi again in his lifetime, he would be blind to death.
Who would have thought that Zhao Niangzi would die at the hands of Liu Yuan. Dr. Dragonscale pursed his lips, his eyes moist. Separated from Zhao Niangzi's yin and yang, they can't see each other again, which has become a heart disease that Dr. Long Scale can't relieve.
Dr. Long Scale thought about it, and walked forward step by step, came to sit down opposite Xie Jiulang, looked at Xie Jiulang, and said in a deep voice: "Since Xie Langjun invited, then, what if you lose, what if you win?" He originally wanted to make a joke with Xie Jiulang.
Xie Jiulang put the chessboard, raised his eyes, looked into the bottom of Dr. Longscale's eyes, his eyebrows curled, and said, "Doctor lost the ancient story." ”
"Dr. Dragonscale has lost the Ancient Story!" The young Zhao Jin's delicate and soft voice continued to echo in Dr. Longscale's ears.
Suddenly, Dr. Dragonscale's brain buzzed. If what Xie Jiulang said just now is a coincidence, then the sentence "The doctor lost the ancient times" is by no means accidental.
Who is Xie Jiulang in front of him? Dr. Dragonscale didn't dare to think deeply.
Xie Jiulang held the red son, and Dr. Long Scale looked at each other from afar in the Han realm of the Chu River, and a big battle was about to begin.
The jasper chess pieces are cool to the touch, and there is a vague aftertaste of dipterocarp from grandfather's fingertips on them. Xie Jiulang sniffed, trying to suppress the endless sadness that flowed from his chest.
Xiao Tian brought the royal bed for the King of Jin and placed it beside Xie Jiulang, and ordered people to serve fresh refreshments, vegetables and fruits for the King of Jin to enjoy.
King Jin disliked the palace people coming in and out to disturb Xie Jiulang's thoughts, waved his hand impatiently, and motioned for the idle people to retreat, leaving only Xiaotian and his son to serve in the palace.
The soldiers and horses are in place, Xie Jiulang's red soldiers are seven into one, and Dr. Long Scale doesn't even think about it, and the cannon is five and four. The chess pieces settled, and Dr. Dragonscale felt a chill down his spine.
The Donggu boy in front of him seems to have all the memories of the young Zhao Jin, not only in words, but also in the beginning of playing chess.
He taught Zhao Jin not to use only this kind of opening. Zhao Jin's big black eyes blinked, and he said pitifully, "Dr. Dragon Scale, I can't learn it." "She is a strange child of the Zhao family, if you want to learn, you can learn it at a glance. When she said so, she was just a trick and refused to learn.
Dr. Long Scale raised his head, looked at Xie Jiulang with a calm expression, and then looked at King Jin, Tian Zhen and Xiao Tian, and swallowed his saliva with a bang. ”
"Where, where, Xie Langjun's moves are fierce, it's really unbearable." Dr. Dragonscale struggled to restrain his inner turmoil, and every word he said was the words of a chess game with Zhao.
Hearing this, layers of waves appeared above Xie Jiulang's heart lake. Years ago, Dr. Dragonscale always laughed and teased, "The moves are fierce and overwhelming." ”
"Well said, well said." Xie Jiulang was not modest at all, but made some self-deprecating jokes.
He agrees with what Zhao Jin. Dr. Dragon Scale determined that Higashiya Xie Jiulang and Zhao Jin had some inevitable connection. Or is it that Zhao Jin was reincarnated and became Xie Jiulang?
Dr. Long Liang thought again, Zhao Jin had only passed away for more than half a year, and Xie Jiulang was thirteen or fourteen years old, and his age did not match. He couldn't understand what was going on, so he put it aside for the time being and focused on the game.
Dr. Dragon Scale stared at Xie Jiulang for a moment, then raised his head and laughed.
He and Xie Jiulang made a few false moves, and as a result, Xie Jiulang's pawn crossed the river. When Dr. Long Scale found out, Xie Jiulang had a smug smile on the corner of his mouth, squeezed his eyes at him, and said, "Doctor, you have to talk about the ancients, you can't play tricks!" ”
Xie Jiulang took the pawn and took a step forward and crossed the river. Her eyebrows were raised, and her words were joyful: "The brave are pawns!" ”
"If you cross the river, you can't turn back." Dr. Dragonscale quipped.
"My minions are all brave!" Xie Jiulang's eyebrows were raised, his eyes were shining, and he said to Dr. Dragon Scale.
"True bravery or bluff, we'll know in a moment." Dr. Dragonscale pondered for a moment, preparing to set up his cannon.
Tian Zhen found that Dr. Dragon Scale was always slower than Xie Jiulang, and seemed to be intending to let him. Not only that, Tian Zhen thought that Xie Jiulang's chess skills were mediocre. Not only did he repeatedly make stupid moves, but he also failed to take the lead when Dr. Dragonscale deliberately gave in.
Tian Zhen was a little puzzled by what kind of person Xie Jiulang belonged to. Poetry and songs, Xie Jiulang is proficient in everything. Chess has become a shortcoming. Perhaps, Xie Jiulang can only be regarded as a merry talent, and he is not good at deploying troops.
From this point of view, Xie Jiulang is just smarter than ordinary readers. When His Majesty the Emperor asked, Tian Zhen didn't have to be embarrassed, just say it directly according to the facts.
King Jin only learned chess for a short time, but he also saw that Xie Jiulang didn't care about the front and the back, and didn't care about the tail.
After all, watching chess is silent. King Jin was in a hurry, and he couldn't say anything to remind him, so he couldn't help but sigh on the side.
Unconsciously, Dr. Dragon Scale bombarded Xie Jiulang's two pawns one after another.
Dr. Dragon Scale held the red child he had just eaten in his hand and joked, "Xie Langjun's pawn is not brave. ”
Xie Jiulang was still at ease, and said slowly: "The horse walks on the sun, and the pawn has no way out...... Therefore, you see, there are regulations and constraints to achieve the Chu River and Han realm, and the two armies are facing each other. There's no pattern to winning or losing, and whether the outcome is good or bad won't be revealed until the last minute, so it's fun, isn't it? ”
Dr. Dragonscale bowed slightly, "Indeed, indeed." ”
Affirmed by Dr. Dragon Scale, Xie Jiulang smiled mischievously and said, "I think the pawn in the doctor's hand is more respectable." ”
Tian Zhen and his son watched the chess game and knew that Dr. Long Scale intended to lose to Xie Jiulang. They only thought that Dr. Dragon Scale did not compete with Xiao'er, and they did it on purpose, and they didn't think about it.
Xie Jiulang's eyes lowered, and he said in a deep voice: "The chess pieces on the chessboard are controlled by people, each has its own place and purpose, which can be regarded as a blessing." As he spoke, he picked up a chess piece and played it in his palm.
Dr. Long Scale ate Xie Jiulang's chess pieces one after another, feeling happy in his heart, but he said, "How can it be said that it is a blessing if you can't help yourself?" ”
