Chapter 30: Playing Chess

Previous Chapter

After Zhang Huan left, Rong Tieyi left the teahouse with Chen Shan, the speed was not in a hurry or slow, but Chen Shan shouted vigorously from behind, "Eh, why are you going? Let's go to the circus, I haven't seen it in my life." ”

Today, since going out, Rong Tieyi's series of performances are very strange in Chen Shan's eyes.

Isn't there something on this kid's mind?

What did Zhang Huan say to Rong Tieyi, Chen Shan has always been curious, but he didn't dare to ask if this person had already left, the relationship between Tieshoumen and the City Lord's Mansion is now as if it was clear, the people in the City Lord's Mansion have always had a higher status, and the Iron Hands Gate is all obedient to them, Chen Shan had seen Zhang Huan a few times when he was still planting spiritual grass in the Spirit Grass Hall in Houshan, and vaguely remembered that he was going to investigate a murder case, but then it was gone, that is, he never saw it again.

Rong Tieyi looked at Chen Shan as an eyesore, obstructive, and noisy, so he sent him to watch the circus alone on the grounds that he was not feeling well and wanted to go back.

Zhang Huan only said two things now, both of which were very simple, Rong Tieyi was not embarrassed, but he had to say this third thing after completing the two things, which really made Rong Tieyi a little dissatisfied.

After thinking about it, I always feel that Zhang Huan should not deceive himself, isn't this investigation the best thing for these people?

Let Rong Tieyi help, this is probably also a big secret.

In the end, Rong Tieyi decided to inquire about Yanyumen first.

This Yanyumen is located in Huayang City, of course it is very simple to inquire about things, but if you inquire about it properly, I am afraid that you will have to be targeted immediately, and now Rong Tieyi is the person of Yanyumen's old opponent Tieshoumen, if he is caught, he will not be able to please the fruit to eat, not to mention that today Xue Xiaoping also specially told the two not to cause trouble in these two days.

Suddenly, Rong Tieyi's mind flashed, and he remembered that when he entered the city two days ago, he had met a table of people from the Yanyumen in that inn, saying that their master would come back to worship his ancestors during the Qingming Festival.

Immediately made a decision, first to inquire about the owner of this smoke and rain gate.

If you want to inquire about people, it is natural to go to the chess temple on the edge of Xicheng District.

Li Changan loved to play chess before his death, and often every time he went to a town, he was not looking for a place to rest, but to find a place to play chess, Li Chang'an's chess strength was amazing, usually he could win nine out of ten games, and he could win eight games no matter how bad he was, Li Chang'an's favorite thing to find was the kind of place where he gambled on silver to play chess, and he could usually win a day or two for food, so even if Rong Tieyi didn't like this thing anymore, he was waiting patiently.

If you look at it for a long time, you will be able to do it.

Nowadays, the most common in the folk is six horizontal and six vertical, divided into black and white, a total of ninety-nine, the next law pays attention to two sons to eat one, who falls nine first, who wins.

This kind of six horizontal and six vertical because of its fast play, the winner and the loser are also fast, often used as some alternative games in the casino, and the playing routine is simple and difficult to get into the elegant hall, so it is called Jianghu chess,

And the other kind of nine horizontal and nine vertical chess with a deeper routine is called official chess, with two black and white pieces, a total of 189 pieces, the playing method pays attention to the three-point connection to eat all, the routine is complex and cumbersome, usually the chess pieces have to be exhausted to win or lose how many points are left on the chessboard.

This person who plays nine horizontal and nine vertical has been thinking for a long time, and some people have thought of some countermeasures to deal with these guys, such as talking about some digressions.

Rong Tieyi should use this as a means of inquiry.

Rong Tieyi doesn't care about the six horizontal and six vertical Jianghu chess, or the nine horizontal and nine vertical official chess, both are skilled, and Li Changan's chess routines back then are completely in mind, although there has been no actual combat, but there is no problem in his own opinion.

Chess Temple is not a temple, but because in a huge open space for some reason put a large incense burner, and fixed on the ground chessboard is low, these old men who love to play chess mostly bring cushions from home, kneeling on the ground to play chess, whenever there are many people lively, it is to see a group of people kneeling on the ground, like the scene of burning incense and worshiping Buddha, so it is jokingly called the Chess Temple.

When Rong Tieyi arrived, there were a lot of people, and the seats were full, and Rong Tieyi was even more willing, he didn't have to play chess by himself, just find an old man who was slow to squat on the side.

Rong Tieyi didn't take much effort, just found a place with nine horizontal and nine vertical squatting.

There are many onlookers here, both sides of the chess game are old men, one has white hair and white eyebrows, a splendid white dress, and wants to come to the house is either rich or expensive, and the other wears a hat, and the clothes are simple and inconspicuous, compared with which it just represents two diametrically opposed identities, but it is not younger than this white-eyed old man.

The white-eyed old man who was very slow to fall has been thinking hard.

Rong Tieyi fixed his eyes and saw that the black pieces on the chessboard had the upper hand, and he was afraid that if he lost three more white chess, he would be defeated.

This old man in a hat played three games in a row with him, and this guy is so grinding, it's okay to say that this chess strength is also bad, and he loses in three games, no, he will lose the fourth game soon.

The old man in the hat was a chess veteran, and he had a lot of fame in this place, and there were many onlookers.

Rong Tieyi waited a little impatiently, seeing that the difference in strength between the two was so big, the old man in the hat was not in the mood to say some digressions to interfere, it was estimated that he had no chance to interject and talk, and he was about to change the table to take a look, but unexpectedly, the old man angrily threw the chess box on the table, "No more, no more!"

Rong Tieyi looked back in surprise, this old man is not only poor in chess, but also in chess.

However, what I didn't expect was that this old man seemed to have a lot of background, and no one dared to criticize the whole chess game when it messed up, and everyone left silently.

The white-eyed old man saw everyone leaving, but he blew his beard and glared at Rong Tieyi.

"You were the one who was next to you just now!"

Rong Tieyi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly shook his head, "No, I'm here..."

However, before he finished speaking, the old man pulled Rong Tieyi over, and with great strength, he pressed it down.

"If you can't win against this guy today, you're going to spend the night in the woods outside the city tonight. ”

In the middle of these words, he saw several burly men with swords at their waists coming from the side, and without giving Rong Tieyi a chance to explain, they surrounded them in the middle.

"Uncle, it's really not..."Rong Tieyi really couldn't say it because he had bitterness in his heart.

How did he know that this white-eyed old man was the general in the City Lord's Mansion, Nangong Hongye's father.

And the identity of this chess player is not low, it is Master Wu in the official yamen.

Fortunately, Rong Tieyi didn't know, otherwise Rong Tieyi, who had never played chess with anyone, would really have to go to the cold grove outside the city to spend the night if he messed up later.
