A platoon of prisoner wagons to the province of Grad, all of whom were nobles who could not pay the ransom or who could still be useful, were to be sent to the county of Barsai until the war was completely over.

One of the prison vans held two young men, two friends, but one was an earl and the other was only a viscount's heir.

"Ba'o, don't think about chess, talk to me, suffocated. ”

"Shut up, Garcia, how long have you been arguing all the way, I want to be quiet. ”

"Quiet fart, half a year ago, we were still friends, but now it's all reversed, the Randall family rebelled, the Gooding family became traitors, I became a prisoner with you, and the worst thing is Rubin, who died in the war, and Prince Quink doesn't know what happened? (Note)

"The black gunners go all the way to two, and the red gunners go back to three in three ways, so that a stalemate is formed, and we must find a way to get through the main ......" Bao ignored Garcia and immersed himself in the chessboard world.

"This thing will kill you sooner or later!" Garcia counted down Ba'o, "An earl is at the mercy of black and white chess pieces, he doesn't think about tea and dinner, he is crazy, you are crazy!"

A week later, when they arrived in Barsayshire, the two finally did not have to eat cold meals and rest in the wilderness.

The reporting rider informed in advance that Randall knew that the two friends were coming, so he let the two clean up first, and then arranged a different show.

Bao was led into a chess hall, which is the most prestigious chess hall in Barsayshire, the owner behind it is Randle, there are six resident chess players in it, who make a living from playing chess, and accept challenges from outsiders, winning two games each time, and changing the challenger after failure, with a fixed salary and reward, and a rest in the hall, plus Randle is ready to handle the first title battle, and there are chess players in the chess hall day and night.

"It is worthy of the birthplace of war chess! Heaven is nothing more than that!"

"My lord, our young master has an order, you can move here at will, but you can't go out of the chess hall, all your uses, someone will send you every day, if you want to eat and drink, just give a command. ”

"What do you mean by the rank on the wall?"

"This is a new system of war chess, every three months, the six resident chess players in the chess hall play, whoever can win all, will add a paragraph, the current highest level is six dan, all losses are reduced by two dans, the last place is reduced by one paragraph, there will be a title battle after the war, you can participate at that time. ”

Six hours later, Bao fell into a frenzy, Randle gave him a special encounter, he could challenge six people at will, but his level was much worse, many moves had never been seen, seven battles and seven losses, but he did not show fatigue, and was more focused on playing chess.

Garcia, on the other hand, entered the largest brothel in the county of Barsay, and when he was naked and lifted his chest up, the prostitutes thought they had seen a horse, and they were amazed and came forward to shake it.

On the second day, Bao did not leave the chess house, Garcia did not leave the brothel, and on the third day, the same was true, and on the morning of the fourth day, Garcia came to see Randall, and Bao was immersed in the pleasure of the rapid progress of chess and forgot about the trivial matters of the world.

"O my High God, you are blind!" Garcia goes to the Moonlight Palace to meet Randall.

"For the time being, it'll be fine. ”

"Mourning...... I have only now discovered that being a nobleman is also risky, and when a war starts, sometimes it is much more dangerous than a commoner. ”

Garcia quickly integrated into Randall's turf.

"I heard...... Rubin died, and even his father and grandfather went to war, and they died together, and the family was destroyed!"

"You're upset?"

"It's a pity, Adolf must win this battle, otherwise my situation may be ten times worse. ”

"Don't talk about this, I've been arrested anyway, and it's none of my business to fight, so I'll be cheeky and eat and drink in your place. ”

Garcia's gaze had already drifted to the maid beside Randall.

"Get down to business first. Randall asked Garcia to write a letter of surrender and give it to his uncle, who was still in the fief, and then let him go back to the brothel and live happily.

And Randall couldn't wait for Bao to come, and he was not in a hurry, so he only sent someone to pass the word and ask Bao to hand in an oath of allegiance, otherwise he would be forbidden to play chess.

On the same day, his subordinates brought back the papers, and when Randall was satisfied with them, he let them be put into the study.

At dusk, Randall did not stay in the Moonlight Palace, it would not be long before the new year, at this time of year in the province of Grad, there will be a celebration to welcome the new and send the old, the war took away many young adults, and the family members who stayed in the city made a wish early in the morning, hoping to welcome back the family members who went out on the New Year's Day.

The ancient and majestic walls of Bhasai County were painted the bright yellow that the people loved, the stone streets were full of the clatter of wheelbarrows, and many vendors without storefronts, with white towels wrapped around their heads, pushed sweets and wheat cakes out to sell.

The city of Peon became more and more lively, and it is even said that it would become the second royal capital of Gaul, and the nobles who were sent here for prisoners of war, their families, brought gifts to meet Randall, and they had to stay for a few days, making this celebration far better than before.

Since the war has been secured, the restrictions have been relaxed in the past few days, and Randall has ordered that as long as he does not break the law, he will not arrest anyone even in street fights.

Randall dressed as a businessman when he went out on the street, holding hands with Blanche, and began shopping before the sun went down.

Because the inner city is close to the living quarters of the aristocracy and wealthy, the people have some scruples, but the outer city has no such problem, and there are exciting and fragrant things in every street, many men sing naked, fight dogs and gamble for money, or perform acrobatics, and there are duels in the square, and the activities are varied, and the hard work of the year makes the people enjoy the excitement of the moment.

Randall listened carefully, talking to each of the people around him in order to know how they were feeling about their lives recently.

"I lost a chicken on the next street, and you're borrowing me some money to turn it over. ”

"There are singers recruiting in the inner city, I will definitely succeed, and after becoming a member of the troupe, your mother will definitely agree to our marriage. ”

"This year's wine harvest is good, and we can expand our business in the coming days and sell it to the Donghu mainland. ”

"I heard that Holy Father Bashi has hemorrhoids, do you know how he treats them? He actually lets virgins and women who have not yet menstruated every day lick and cure them!

"The war is almost over, we have won, we are lucky to live here, long live Adolf!"

"I am Lyon from Tatarai, and I pray for the young lord Randall for eternity, and this time I have given our farmers in Tatarai - "interest-free loans", and - "free seeds", may he live a long life. ”

The passers-by talked boastfully and without scruples, and Randall walked as Blanche shook him to a halt.

Randall smelled a scent.

Blanche pulled him to a four-wheeled cart with canvas hanging on it, and the stall owner said to the customer, "Eat my almonds, you can sweep away all the sad things, what flavor do you want?"

"This. After Blanche compared, the stall owner presented a packet of fragrant sweet almonds in both hands.

Blanche took it, raised the veil, took one and put it in her mouth, so that the stall owner could see her face clearly.

The female guest was as white as an angel, her palms were smooth, her fingertips were slender, her nails were not dirty, and when her lips were slightly open to deliver food, her teeth were whiter than milk, and the woman admired the beauty more, and the female stall owner was fascinated by it, and at the same time closed her mouth tighter, afraid of revealing her yellowed teeth.

And the male guest, it feels a little strange, although his eyes are looking directly at you, but they seem to be looking elsewhere. However, there is a sense of nobility on their bodies, and the two do not look like a merchant couple, because few businessmen are willing to wear such good shoes, which have patterns and embroidery, and look elegant and luxurious.

"I'll try. With Randall finishing, Blanche poured a sweet almond into his mouth.

"It's sweet. Randall also fed Blanche a sweet almond, and then the two of them played a game of feeding each other.

After shopping for a long time, the two didn't eat anything, and the pack of snacks was quickly eaten, and after Randall grabbed the air, he raised Blanche's hand, licked it and transferred the powdered sugar left on his hand to his mouth, while Blanche gave a kiss back, and both showed a satisfied smile and filled their stomachs with love.

The stall owner was amused when she saw this flirtation for the first time, and found that Randall was blind, and she did not bother to collect the money, and when the two of them were about to settle the bill, the stall owner said, "I don't want money for my treat." ”

"Why? This stuff is good. Randall Road.

"Your wife is so beautiful, you are happy to eat, and I am glad to see it, and I am treated as soon as I am happy, and today is a day of astrological generosity. "The female stall owner is very straightforward.

"Very interesting idea, but here - "the laborer must have a gain", give her the money. ”

Blanche looked at the stall owner and took out the money bag, she didn't know the price, so Amy helped her prepare three money bags, one bronze, one silver and one gold, fifteen pieces each.

While wandering around, two copper and two silver coins were spent as rewards, and when Blanche looked for the money, she felt that the remaining bag was a bit heavy, and she didn't bother to put it on her body again, so she put the gold bag down and left with Randall in her arms.

The female stall owner opened it and saw that she was almost not blinded by the gold coins, and she was about to chase after her to refund the money, but was stopped by a tall man who appeared out of nowhere, "Do your business." ”

The female stall owner was frightened and immediately cleaned up the stall, and later she took the money and appeared a shop in the city that specialized in this dim sum, and gave it a nice name - "Heart of Love" .......

The two continue to wander around, and after a vaudeville show, the fire-breathing artist makes Blanche drop the copper coin bag and walk past a juice shop, where she and Randall share a glass of lemon orange juice and leave the silver coin bag.

Finally the two of them got into a carriage and came to a river that ran through the city of Peon, and rented a ferry, and since neither of them had any money on them, Randall had to wave his men to pay, and almost revealed his identity.

When enjoying (listening) to the scenery in the river, two small boats follow behind to protect the two.

"Why didn't you have any money just now?"

"Flower ...... Light. ”

"How much does Amy prepare for you?"

"It's ...... Few. ”

"Bring more next time, don't let people disturb us, we are a two-person world today. ”

In the past month, Randall has been very cold to Blanche for government affairs, about half an hour later.

"Stand down. After Randall finished speaking, the boatman jumped out of the boat, swam to the small boat behind to protect the two men, and saw the young master enter the boat, put down the curtain, and his men retreated a lot, one of the boats, quickly went around to the other side, and all the small boats and small boats that might be close to the young master were stopped, causing the river to be blocked.

And the little boat, which had no one at the helm, slowly and slowly rocked again, stirring up the surface of the river and crumpling a pool of spring water.
