Xu Fengnian left Diaoyutai, took Yu Youwei to wander around the city, saw an alley full of people, there is no lack of young scholars in green shirts, take a closer look, only to find that it is gambling chess, squatting and sitting, standing and had, Xu Fengnian only remembered at this time that Xiangfan in addition to Xiangguo Lane is famous for selling gold caves, and this Yongzi Lane has a good reputation, the alley is sitting against the wall are the wild chess players who put out the chess box, betting different amounts with their own chess strength, luring itchy tourists and chess idiots to take the bait, this kind of game, it is naturally difficult to enter the chess world, but it is the best way to kill the time of the people and poor scholars, plus betting is often nothing more than a few dozen copper plates, which is a small gambling pleasure。

Xu Fengnian smiled, gnawed the sauce beef wrapped in oil paper, when he was penniless and hungry, for a period of time he gambled on chess in the alley to earn money, with his chess ability trained by the national scholar Li Yishan and Xu Weixiong, it is not difficult to win chess, but often there are peers in the place of chess to make a living, reasonable is good, the well water does not violate the river water, and the unreasonable ones rely on the locals to drive away His Royal Highness the Prince, and then it is also particular about winning chess, not trying to slaughter the big dragon refreshingly, you have to leave a small number of small wins, otherwise the opposite side will lose the armor, and will be very unhappy to continue to pay for chess, this is the slang and micro truth that Xu Fengnian was forced to slowly realize。

His Royal Highness the Prince asked Lu Yangshu and the three of them to stay away, leaving only Ning Emei standing behind him, pulling Yu Youwei to pick a gap and insert a needle, the chess player is a young man who looks like a down-and-out student, his clothes are sewn, his shoes and socks are white, and there are ten chess pieces on the empty chessboard in front of him, which means that the chess player will give ten money if he loses, and the ordinary gambling chess is only two or three, and five are not common, which shows that this wild chess player is quite confident, Xu Fengnian was about to hesitate to take out a few pennies to place a bet after squatting, and when he glanced up, he saw that the chess player was a blind man, how to play this chess？

As if accustomed to this situation, the blind chess player said gently: "It's okay, when I hear the sound of a falling piece, I will know where the fallen piece is." ”

Xu Fengnian nodded and said, "I'll bet ten wen." ”

The blind chess player took out the money bag from his cuffs, weighed it, looked ashamed, and said softly: "This son, if I lose, I will owe you sixteen dollars, if the son does not dislike it, I have an ancestral chess book in hand, which should be worth this amount." ”

Xu Fengnian smiled: "Okay." ”

Chess scores or something, Xu Fengnian doesn't care, listening to the tide of the pavilion can make the chess world crazy countless chess games, "Peach Blossom Spring Game Score", "South China Sea Linglong Bureau", "Immortal Bestowal Score" and so on, His Royal Highness the Prince can pile up a hill for you, not to mention that now the chessboard has become nineteen lanes, and often the more years the chess score, the more worthless it is.

In general, the strength of ancient and modern chess players is getting stronger and stronger. The blind chess player sitting cross-legged against the wall had a box of blacks under his knees, stretched out his hands slightly, and signaled Xu Fengnian to take white first. Although this wild chess player is dressed shabbyly, his temperament should not be underestimated, and his hands and feet are full of the elegant and ancient style of a true family.

Before the official game competition, the two sides each set aside two sons on the diagonal star position, called the potential, which is the ancient chess constellation, which greatly limits the first-hand advantage, and is destined to be a fierce battle in the middle of the belly.

Xu Fengnian handed over the sauce beef in his hand to Yu Youwei, and took the lead in starting Sanliu, and this hanging horn was rated as the best invasion angle by Huang Longshi, a great player who prides himself on being the top three. The young blind chess player looked calm, and if he could really hear the sound and distinguish the position, the black chess should play ninety-three, and the white chess was in a position.

The next nine black and white hands did not escape the ancestors. Yu Youwei's father who watched the battle from the sidelines was once a prominent player in the Xichu chess world, and when he was studying in the Shangyin School Palace, he only regretted to lose to the Huang Longshi, who was known as the world's unparalleled combat power. Seeing each other's ten hands, Yu Youwei was a little disappointed.

But Xu Fengnian broke off eleven times, but Yu Youwei's eyes lit up. The blind chess player was also slightly stagnant, no longer falling fast, and only after a little thought did he raise the fall again.

As the old saying goes, chess is born from a break, and Xu Fengnian's next few sons were born from this break, which can be described as ingenious. The blind chess player endured all the way, and finally the black eighteen attacked first when the corner was not yet settled, five or six flying attacks, Yu Youwei frowned and pondered, this type has as many as forty-four changes.

Subconsciously look at Xu Fengnian, he is still silent, the speed of the drop is always the same, Bai forty-three times gently pulled out, the chessboard was murderous in an instant, and Yu Youwei's heart was shocked, this hand is too fierce, Bai fifty-nine flying and eighty-three tips, the same is violent, but unexpectedly, the situation of the blind chess player is like a leaf flat boat across the sea, shaking, but not falling, to the black one hundred and eighty hands is already a good situation to win the first hand, Xu Fengnian is very calm to admit defeat.

Xu Fengnian took out ten more copper plates and said, "It's still ten." ”

The blind chess player took the white first, and this game was still Xu Fengnian who provoked the gunsmoke early, and the blind chess player responded calmly. Yu Youwei vaguely saw the clues, Xu Fengnian attacked very hard, but the blind chess player was not the same as most people in the world, the heaviest terrain was condensed, and some of the seemingly vicious hands at the moment could always echo with the middle game and even the finale, full of spirit, if it weren't for Xu Fengnian's endless tricks to set off waves of unreasonable fighting, the two games would not have dragged on after two hundred hands. At the moment, Xu Weixiong, who is a talented woman, has changed from fifteen to nineteen and Yilin, who has broken the seat system, has not changed for a thousand years, and from Yu Youwei's point of view, the blind chess player who is slightly better than His Royal Highness Shizi is destined to be a blockbuster, and it is difficult to say whether this chess player conceals his strength, and it is really a crouching tiger in the hidden dragon lane of the market.

"Come again. ”

Xu Feng, who lost two games in a row, laughed young, this time the white started with Shuangfeiyan, this formula was once widely spread, but the most top-notch national players in the past 50 years have abandoned it in the peak battle, Huang Longshi even said that the hand Shuangfei is not too tight, and it has lost its mellow taste, which can be regarded as a death sentence for this classic layout.

Xu Fengnian simply sat on the ground, but changed to a more comfortable posture, the defeat on the chessboard was faster, and he easily lost three times in a row, and the blind chess player had already piled up thirty copper plates in front of him. Xu Fengnian looked up at the sky through the eaves of Yongzi Lane, it was already dinner time, but it was rare to meet such a skilled chess player, so he beckoned Shu Xi to his side and asked her to go to the wine shop to get some food, and soon Shu Xi took a big food box, with four pairs of chopsticks, Yang Qingfeng tried non-toxic before Shu Xi dared to put it in front of Xu Fengnian, Xu Fengnian asked with a smile: "I don't plan to leave for a while, why don't you eat some too?"

The blind chess player smiled and nodded. Yu Youwei is a squeamish woman who is pampered and pampered, and she doesn't feel out of shape when she sits and eats with Xu Fengnian, while Ning Emei, who stands for a few bites, will take a meal into her stomach. When the wild chess player ate slowly, he even took the initiative to talk to Xu Fengnian about the gains and losses of the three defeats, speaking of Xu Fengnian's wonderful hands, he did not hide his admiration, and mentioned a few tricks to unreasonable hands, but also bluntly said the shortcomings, Xu Fengnian nodded frequently, benefited a lot, and talked happily, Xu Fengnian smiled and asked the chess player if he studied under the famous chess world, the blind chess player shook his head and said that his family background was mediocre, he had just started to contact Go before he was blind at a young age, and he had nothing to rely on after being blind, so he had to be accompanied by chess, and he had been gambling chess in Yongzi Lane for ten years, and the money he earned was only enough to eat and wear。 While speaking, the blind chess player patted his brain, took out a few Confucian classics from his bag, handed them to Xu Fengnian, who could only keep his butt next to the floor, and chuckled: "Cushion." ”

Xu Fengnian took the book, took out two copies and handed them to Yu Youwei, whose feet were already numb, and said with a smile: "It's not appropriate, right? ”

The blind chess player smiled and shook his head: "Etiquette, righteousness and shame are not in the book. ”

Xu Fengnian is no longer hypocritical, and the wild chess player who won his thirty wen in front of him eats and drinks to his heart's content, and then rises the gunpowder smoke on the nineteenth road, Xu Fengnian has been tireless in repeated defeats, and the blind chess soldiers have come to cover the water and soil, and the fall is crisp and calm.

Ten rounds of Yongzi Lane, the sky was dark, from noon to twilight to moonlight, the dust settled, Xu Fengnian lost ten in a row, and paid 100 wen. The wild chess players in Yongzi Lane have all been withdrawn, Xu Fengnian sat cross-legged on a Confucian classic, looked at the defeat on the chessboard, sighed heavily, and said: "With your strength, you can compete with Xu Weixiong of the Yin School Palace." ”

The wild chess warrior shook his head and said: "Ordinary people play chess with only one side, I can barely have two sides, today's chess masters can take care of three sides, but Mr. Wei Xiong is playing with Huang Sanjia on both sides, how dare I go to the grasshopper to shake the tree." However, if you can talk to Mr. Wei Xiong in this life, you will have no regrets even if you die. ”

Xu Fengnian helped pack the chess pieces into the box, and then got up and joked: "I don't have the realm of dying like you, I won't be wronged if I lose to you, I am willing to gamble and lose this time." Hey, there are ten rounds of Danghu in the Shangyin School Palace, and we can also count as having ten games of Yongzi. Say goodbye. ”

The blind wild chess player smiled: "These books will be given to Childe." ”

Xu Fengnian was thorough at one point, two of the books were padded under Yu Youwei's ass for a long time, presumably the wild chess player had already heard the news, and knew that the Tao was the "family member" brought out by himself, out of suspicion, it was not appropriate to ask for it to go back, Xu Fengnian took out ten more cents and handed it to the thin chess player after getting up, and quipped: "The last ten cents, you should buy two more catties of courtesy, righteousness and shame from your side." ”

The chess player hesitated, but still accepted it, and said with a gentle smile: "Childe is not short of these." ”

Xu Fengnian smiled and left.

The blind chess player packed his bags and stood alone in the silent alley, facing the alley and bending down deeply, and bowed to the end.

————

Walking out of Yongzi Lane and riding back, Xu Fengnian sighed: "There are such powerful characters in Little Yongzi Lane. ”

Yu Youwei frowned and asked, "He's an assassin?"

Xu Fengnian smiled dumbly, his chin rested on Yu Youwei's head in his arms, and said helplessly: "You think too much, I just feel that the chess strength of the blind chess player is amazing, he claims that he can only play two sides on the chessboard, too modest, I dare to say that the second sister will lose two or three games with him in ten games, presumably he has never talked with top national players, so I don't know how good he is." ”

Yu Youwei nodded and said: "This person is good at playing chess by abandoning, bending by stretching, and has a broad vision. But it's not just that, in the ninth game, he was annoyed by your unreasonable hand, which showed that even if he was fighting head-on, his strength was even greater. If he really came from an ordinary family and became self-taught after losing his eyesight, then there is no doubt that this person is a natural talent in chess. ”

Xu Fengnian said softly: "His eyes are blinded. ”

Yu Youwei was stunned.

Xu Fengnian said with emotion: "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and the bitterness behind these is not what this son is interested in." ”

Yu Youwei rubbed Wu Meiniang's head and asked, "Haven't you thought about inviting you to be a staff member?"

Xu Fengnian shook his head and said: "Playing chess well does not mean that being an official can be smooth." I've already lost a hundred wen in a bet, so I won't gamble anymore. ”

Yu Youwei smiled and said nothing, this prince's chess strength is quite not weak, presumably losing ten games in a row is already a loss of face, and I am embarrassed to have too much contact with the blind chess player.

Xu Fengnian said for no reason, "It depends on the gambling luck of Zhao Heng, the king of Jing'an." ”

Xu Fengnian suddenly said with a bitter face: "It's over, Lao Tzu's gambling luck is so bad today, one side is long, and Zhao Heng's old turtle has a chance to make money." ”

Yu Youwei asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

Xu Fengnian scolded his mother a few words, but did not make a sound.

In Yongzi Lane, the young blind chess player struggled to carry his bags, but the chess pier two boxes of chess pieces plus a few chess games, it was a little tired, the chess player silently laughed at himself for being useless scholars, walked a few steps, raised a warm smile, Yongzi ten games, enough to earn a hundred dollars, in the past two years in Yongzi Lane in addition to deliberately showing weakness, has not really lost a game, Xiangfan local chess lovers have been unwilling to gamble on their own, unless it is some foreign guests who come to Yongzi Lane to play, will be hooked, so a day to earn 100 Wen, is a rare good situation。 Then the son is extremely interesting, his life experience is naturally excellent, he is blind and not blind, so the son of the superior family background, but he plays a good hand of chess, these years it has been difficult for him to bother to play chess, when he was young to learn chess, he was happy to win chess and lose chess, and now he has been winning chess without losing chess, and his hobby of playing chess is becoming more and more reduced, for fear that one day he will really just play chess for the sake of making a living, and there will really be a day when the chess road stops. Thinking of his bleak background, the blind chess player had a cold face, as if he had forgotten how to mourn.

In this world, it's good not to look at it if you're blind.

If you can meet a few more kind-hearted sons who play chess for ten games, you may regret stabbing yourself in the eyes back then, but the family is in the middle of the road, and in order to survive after losing a family dog, how many have you met after playing chess for ten years?

Walking to the corner of the alley, the blind chess player was stopped.

A majestic voice came: "My master wants to see you." ”

The blind chess player said calmly: "No." ”

A carriage was parked not far away, the graceful man in the car held the life record of the blind chess player in his hand, the pen and ink on the paper had not dried up, it was clearly something that was written with a pen, Yongzi Lane ten games, the onlookers of gambling chess in the alley were no less than hundreds of people, even the young chess players in the game, did not think much about it, just thought that good luck met the kind-hearted son, but did not know that at the end of the first game, there was news to the most powerful place in Xiangfan City, down to the third game, there was a chess game delivered to the mansion with a lion at the door, the fifth game of the house in the master has asked the next person to thoroughly investigate the identity of the blind chess player, the eighth game is over, the man in the carriage is still hesitating how to deal with it, until the ninth gameSeeing the real chess strength of the young blind man, he smiled and went out of the house in person, and waited patiently until now, when he got the last few pages of the trivial and scattered records of the blind chess player's ten-year gambling career, he felt that his patience could be greater, so when the personal guard whispered outside the carriage that the man was gone, he was not angry that the kid didn't know Taishan, and besides, the kid was a blind man.

The man burned a few pages of paper that were nothing more than a few hundred words and an ant's life experience for himself, and then personally dismounted, walked in front of the blind chess player with extremely hard bones, and said slowly: "Lu Xu, a person from Haichang County, Qingzhou, grandfather Lu You is a former generation of Confucian, and his father Brother Lu is not bad, one of the three masters, majoring in scripture and history, and he never wanted to revise the history of the Western Chu State when he said a few fair words for the reader, but he was framed by the villain, and he was almost beheaded. You stabbed yourself in the eyes, and you were able to save your life, gambling in Yongzi Lane during the day, and going to Xiangguo Lane at night to play the piano for the Goolan woman, earning all the dirty silver, can you know that your enemy has become the county guard of Haichang County?"

The blind chess player said calmly: "This silver is not dirty. ”

The middle-aged man smiled and asked, "Regardless of whether the silver is dirty or not, let me ask you, do you want to show your talent instead of making a living in two alleys?"

The young chess player smiled: "Although it is already night, Lu Xu is still reluctant to dream. ”

The man said with a smile: "I heard that you once said a sentence: I have thousands of catties of books and thousands of catties of talent in my belly, but I want to sell them but only sell them to the emperor's family." ”

The blind chess player frowned and said, "After reading the book for a few days, you don't know the thick nonsense of the sky, you can't take it seriously." ”

The man said in a deep voice: "But I want to take it seriously!"

The blind chess player smiled bitterly: "Until now, are you still unwilling to let go of the Lu family?"

The man with a string of prayer beads in his hand said flatly: "My surname is Zhao Mingheng." The emperor's family, how can it be considered the emperor's family? Is one Jing'an king enough?!"

————

In the Jing'an Palace, the prince Zhao Xun was confused and found his father who was copying Buddhist scriptures in the study, and asked softly: "I heard that my father brought a blind chess player who carried the qin back to his house?

King Jing'an said with a smile: "This son is the last person of the Lu family in Haichang County, if you only watch chess, no one in the house can beat him, and you will be raised by you, anyway, it won't cost a few dollars, if it is just a commodity talking on the chessboard, you should raise a dog that will not bite people, if you do have some talent, you will be included in the palace staff, carve it, and in the future, you will clean up Haichang County in front of him Yu Hanliang, and he will be truly sincere when he gives advice." Scholars die for their confidants, Xun'er, this point that the ancients said is rotten, you must keep it in mind. And how to get along with such scholars, you have to put away the set of friends with Wei Wei's gang of gentlemen, don't rely on your identity to oppress people, not all scholars in the world are stupid, their minds are the most delicate, and they may not be able to read the righteousness, but it is not difficult to read the character of conceit or inferiority. Xun'er, my father taught you something, deal with these talented scholars, you will treat them as His Royal Highness the Prince of Jing'an, and you will treat them as them. ”

Zhao Xun said with a smile: "I know, my father compares his heart to his heart, and he has long been a Buddha's heart." ”

Zhao Heng, King of Jing'an, squinted his eyes and smiled: "You don't need to slap the horse." ”

Zhao Xun cautiously exited the study.

Zhao Heng continued to copy the Buddhist scriptures with a soft rod, and after the copying was finished, he said coldly: "Lu Xu, this king kept you just to tell you a story in a few days." This king is so generous, if he doesn't have a bosom friend who has nothing to do with the overall situation, it's too boring. "My QT room is open!Beacon Opera Princes Official QT Room No. [1655]
