When they arrived at the door of Xiang's house, the two got out of the car, and Su Yi was slightly shocked when she saw the scene in front of her. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The Xiang family's house is very large, so big that it can no longer be called a "house", there are 32 square areas in Dongcheng District, South Xuzhou, and Xiang Mansion occupies a piece, and the area is almost comparable to half of the county.

The door of the house is a three-sided black lacquered door, and the middle door is wide open, as if to welcome distinguished guests.

Su Yi didn't care, and followed Xiang Congliu into the house.

There are mountains, rivers and forests in the Xiangmen mansion, which makes him feel like he is in nature.

Following Xiang Congliu to the secluded depths, Su Yi saw many small courtyards along the way, and many of Xiangmen's disciples were walking in the garden; when these people saw Su Yi, many of them immediately lit up their eyes and stepped forward to greet them, and some of them stayed in the distance and muttered.

Along the way, Su Yi has been secretly sent by young women no less than 20 times.

This is the atmosphere of Jiangmen, unity, harmony, and common hatred. Su Yi sighed, and there was a faint sense of yearning in her heart.

But he also understands that the children of Jiangmen enjoy unique learning conditions, but they also bear heavier missions and responsibilities; they have the glory of Jiangmen, but they also have their own troubles, sometimes they are happier as ordinary people, and Su Yi herself prefers the latter's carefree life.

Coming to a courtyard in a bamboo forest, Xiang Congliu stood beside the courtyard gate and nodded for Su Yi to enter.

Su Yi entered the courtyard with curiosity, and before she could knock on the door, she heard the rustling of bamboo leaves behind her, and a gust of wind came and pushed the door open.

Calming the surprise in her heart, Su Yi was entering, the room was very simple, except for a bed and a bookcase, there was only a desk.

Behind the desk, sat an old man with gray hair and a face like a crown of jade.

Seeing Su Yi enter the house, the old man put down the book in his hand and smiled.

"But Su Xian's nephew who wrote the poem "Determination"?"

"It's a late birth, please ask the master of the Xiang Sect to give me a lot of advice. Su Yi respectfully bowed her hand.

"It's the old man who needs to say hello, no need to be polite, sit. ”

Su Yi sat across the desk and listened to Xiang Huarong shush and ask for warmth.

"Su Xian's nephew lives well in Nanxuzhou? Is there any inconvenience in life? Originally, the old man should have sent more people to take care of your daily life, but he was worried that there were too many people, which would affect your military industry, and even the meeting was delayed to this day, I hope you understand. ”

"Master Xiang is too worried, it is the late life that I want to thank you for taking care of you. ”

For a while, Su Yi was already sweating, Xiang Huarong, as the head of a famous family, should have a corresponding style, but his attitude towards Su Yi was as kind as an ordinary old man treating his grandson, so that Su Yi couldn't figure out what the other party was planning in his heart.

I just think that this Xiangmen master should have no bad intentions.

The two sides were polite for a while, and suddenly, they saw Xiang Huarong slowly get up and bow solemnly to Su Yi.

Su Yi was shocked, and hurriedly stood up and said, "What does Master Xiang mean?"

"There are two reasons for this gift. Xiang Huarong straightened up, his eyes were blazing, and said, "First, you have awakened the mind of the ancestors of Xiangmen and reopened Jiuding Mountain. ”

The two sat down again, and Su Yi asked.

"What kind of place is Jiuding Mountain, and what can I get?"

"This place is a place to test a person's 'strength', the larger your weapon, the higher the peak, the heavier the tripod, when you lift a tripod, this tripod turns into an artifact in your training ground, can help you store a special substance. ”

"What substance?" asked Su Yi.

"It is one of the most miraculous substances in the world, more special than spiritual power and morale, it is the foundation of a country, and it is also the lifeblood of all peoples. Xiang Huarong played a dumb riddle.

Su Yi's heart froze, and she seemed to have a guess in her heart.

"Jiuding Mountain is opened because of you, I, as the head of the Xiangmen family, naturally want to give you some convenience, the original list of the first batch of participants in the trial is the leader of the previous college examination within 20 years, and the top ten of this college examination, but no matter what your college examination results are, you can get the qualification to enter Jiuding Mountain; ”

Su Yi understood the stakes, and also knew that the master of the Xiang Sect was planning to take advantage of this to motivate him, so he thanked him.

"What's the second thing?" asked Su Yi.

"For Hanmen's hatred of you, the old man wants to apologize to you. ”

"Ah, the children of the Han Sect will hate me, isn't it because I wrote the poem "Determination"? Why does the master of the Xiang Sect have to apologize?"

"The poem "Determination" is just the beginning, in the final analysis, it is the two Han Xiang families who have a long-standing grudge, plus you and my Xiangmen are close, it naturally caused a misunderstanding of the Han Gate, and this misunderstanding was quickly sublimated into hatred after some good deeds. Xiang Huarong shook his head and said.

"It doesn't matter if I hate it in my heart, as long as I don't do things that are too out of line and give people a handle, they shouldn't deliberately find excuses to embarrass me, right?"

"If it is usual, the children of Hanmen should take into account the face of Jiangmen, and will not embarrass you, but now Hanmen is at a critical moment, the old Hanmen is critically ill, and the heirs who are qualified to compete for the position of the master of the door are not fighting endlessly, in order to show themselves, they will seize any opportunity to make meritorious contributions, including suppressing you; I guess, tomorrow's chess tournament, someone from Hanmen may come to make things difficult for you. ”

Su Yi's eyelids jumped and she shook her head.

"I've decided to stay out of the matter and never get caught up in the grudge of the two generals, what can they do with me?"

"This kind of thinking is not advisable, people's hearts are unpredictable, be careful, some children of Hanmen may not be able to prepare some tricks to force you to compete, and then borrow various means to make you ugly; ”

"Thank you for thinking so much about the late life, but please allow me to think it through. Su Yi arched her hand and asked, "Is the result of this chess tournament important?"

"Very important, because the opposite bank of South Xuzhou is the original capital of the Chu State, Pengcheng, that is, today's Yangzhou, after the Han Xiang family transferred to South Xuzhou, the ethereal Chu State of Guo hidden in Yangzhou also subtly affected here, but the national fortunes of the previous dynasties could not be controlled by the present people, and it was difficult for anyone, even Yuan Rong to grasp it, and could only be attracted through the chess conference. ”

"I see, the side that wins the chess tournament attracts more national fortunes, and the side that loses does the opposite?" asked Su Yi, tapping her index finger on her knee.

"It is exactly like this, the number of national fortunes not only affects the Han Xiang family, but also affects the residents of the east and west half of the city, and now Xiangmen has lost five battles in a row, if it loses for a while, the national fortune will be lost, and it will be suppressed by the Han Gate mobilization of the national fortune, and take the opportunity to suppress it...... After all, when Hanmen lost six battles in a row a few decades ago, Xiangmen also did similar things, but at the beginning, Hanmen had a strong foundation and was not afraid of suppression, but Xiangmen is difficult to say now. ”

"The barbarian army is pressing the border, and the generals are taking on the heavy responsibility of the human race, so there shouldn't be a life-and-death infighting, right?" Su Yi frowned.

"The external enemy has not yet arrived, and the internal enemy is present, so it is natural to solve the latter first. Xiang Huarong shook his head slowly.

Su Yi was silent.

After understanding the importance of the chess conference, because the atmosphere was not very good, Su Yi said that she would consider participating in the competition, and then got up to say goodbye.

Walking out of the house, there was immediately a whisper in Su Yi's ears.

"Although the relationship between Su Mitian and my Xiangmen is good, but the relationship and the gambling game are two different things, we must have an objective attitude towards the gambling game, I bet that Han Xiuzhu can get the first place, twenty taels. ”

"Hehe, what Brother Xiang Yan said is right, but I am more optimistic about Mr. Qian, so I will bet him ten taels. ”

"It's not right for you to do this, Xiang Cheng and Su Mitian are both their own people, how can they bet others......?

Su Yi saw more than a dozen young disciples blocking the gate of the courtyard, talking to each other, so she was puzzled and looked at Xiang Congliu.

"These little bunnies were still talking about you, but they started gambling while talking. Xiang Congliu shook his head helplessly, looked at these young children, and shouted in a low voice, "Hurry up! Go and prepare for tomorrow's chess meeting, don't embarrass the Xiang family." ”

Only then did everyone stop talking, greeted Su Yi, and dispersed.

Su Yi and Xiang walked out from Liu.

"Although Xiao Sheng heard about the gambling game about the leader at the beginning of the month, how do you feel that the gambling method has changed?

"Because the odds of winning the bet are too small, and many people don't want to bet, and the number is uneven, so a few days ago someone created a new way of betting: list all the people who are likely to win the top, and everyone bets on a candidate, and if the bet is correct, they can win the other person's deposit. ”

Su Yi rolled her eyes, she didn't expect that this world would give birth to a prize pool gambling method out of thin air.

"By the way, Han Xiuzhu's odds are one to three, and the odds of betting on you are more than one to sixty. Xiang Congliu provoked a strange smile.

The lower the odds, the more people bet on this person, and now Su Yi's odds are scary, bet on one or two, if you win, you can get sixty taels, which shows that many people don't think Su Yi can take the lead.

But Su Yi doesn't mind this, no matter how others gamble, he just needs to take his own college exam.

After saying goodbye, Su Yi returned home and chatted with Su Shier for a while, and the two agreed to visit the chess tournament together tomorrow.

Lying on the bed, Su Yi kept thinking about the future.

"If I am invited by the master of the Xiangmen to participate in the chess match, it is estimated that the relationship with the Hanmen will deteriorate as a result, but even if I don't participate, some people in the Hanmen will not embarrass me? If there are really people, there will be disputes, and Nanxuzhou is not peaceful, so I should plan a ......way back as soon as possible."
