Chapter 25: The Chess Game

The wooden wheels of the carriage turned and turned, making the carriage a little bumpy on the somewhat uneven country dirt road. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info The carriage is not very gorgeous, the green curtain covers the window of the carriage, and it is quite laborious for an old black horse to pull the carriage.

In the carriage, Jiang Chen and Huo Zhongru sat opposite each other, neither of them spoke much, and the atmosphere along the way was quite depressing.

Estimating that it had been bumpy on this road for a long time, Huo Zhongru gently lifted a curtain and looked out, and then said to Jiang Chen: "It's almost here, it's almost there, the teacher lives in Taoyuan Village, which is only three miles away from here, and it is estimated that the teacher is already chanting and writing in the grass house at this time." ”

Jiang Chen nodded, the Han and Tang dynasties were divided into military affairs, the military aircraft department had the military aircraft department, and the government had six departments, although the three princes were Confucian people, they could not care about the normal operation of the military aircraft department, but they had absolute jurisdiction over the six departments under their command, but more often than not, the six departments were operated independently, only the six departments could not solve the things, and when the things that could not be solved by the six departments, the six books and the servants would jointly play the three princes and the three princes to decide, if even the three princes could not solve it, then they could only ask the emperor of the Han and Tang dynasties to decide with the will of the emperor, if even the emperor felt embarrassed, then the Han and Tang military aircraft departments would unite the Taixue and the six departments to invite celebrities from all over the worldto deliberate together. Of course, the latter two things have never appeared in the world of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and many people think that with the great wisdom of the three princes, there is nothing they can't solve. And the efficient operation of the six ministries also makes the three princes more of a supervisory leader, but they themselves have a lot of freedom, and it is nothing to live in this small village outside the city.

"My lord, here we are. The coachman who was driving the carriage said to Jiang Chen and Huo Zhongru in the carriage outside.

"Well, thank you. Huo Zhongru lifted the curtain of the car door and walked out first, and before going out, he didn't forget to thank the driver who was driving the car, and Jiang Chen also followed Huo Zhongru out.

In front of the people is a small village, surrounded by peach trees, this season is already the season of peach trees in full bloom, petals fluttering in the wind, it is indeed a good place to cultivate sentiment and live in the sky. There are farmers and peasant women busy going back and forth, probably because of the light rain just now, the air is very fresh, and there is even a faint fragrance of peach blossom tea.

"Let's go, here you and I are going to get off the car and walk, and the teacher lives in this village. Huo Zhongru walked in front to lead Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen nodded and followed Huo Zhongru's footsteps. Maybe Jiang Chen's robe is too gorgeous and mighty, and the pedestrians in this small village along the way have looked sideways, although one of the three princes, Lord Xiangguo, lives in this village, and the princes and generals have also seen a lot, but like the young man in front of him, such a young but imposing person has really never seen a few, and even some girls in the village can't help but blush slightly when they see Jiang Chen passing, and they don't know what they are thinking.

After walking some distance, Huo Zhongru and Jiang Chen stopped in front of an independent grass hut in the depths of the village. This is a small courtyard separated from the other houses in the village for some distance, although it is said that the thatched house is also a thatched house, but this thatched house is neat and orderly, obviously carefully repaired, there is a small courtyard in front of the grass house surrounded by a simple fence, there is a bamboo table and bamboo chair in the middle of the campus, and a peach tree is planted.

Jiang Chen's perception even felt that there were at least a dozen shadow guard soldiers hidden around this campus, they were all the Tiger Roar Battalion sergeants sent by the emperor to protect Lord Xiangguo, these emperors, the three major military governors and the three dukes were all in charge of the shadow guard Tiger Roar Battalion, and there had never been any mistakes for many years, if the Black Dragon Camp of the Shadow Guard was the sharpest spear in the hands of the warrior of the Shadow Guard, then the Tiger Roar Camp was the strongest shield in his hand.

"Teacher Qiyu's student Huo Zhongru has brought His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes here. Huo Zhongru knelt down on the slightly muddy path at the door and kowtowed to the grass and said.

But Jiang Chen did not kneel on the ground, Confucianism has clouds, men should stand in the world, one kneel in the yellow sky and thick earth, two kneel to parents and teachers, and three kneel to the king. Although Lord Xiangguo in the grass house is one of the three princes of Confucianism, he is not Jiang Chen's mentor, so Jiang Chen does not need to bow down, but just bows slightly and clasps his hands in front of him: "Student Jiang Chen, see the teacher." Jiang Chen's voice was neither humble nor silent. ”

There was no sound coming out of the grass house, it was enough to have almost a cup of tea, and an old voice came from the house: "The old minister has been feeling cold recently, and he can't go out to greet him, so please ask His Royal Highness the Nine Emperors to come in by himself, and ask His Royal Highness to atone for his sins if he is careless, and you can step down." ”

Huo Zhongru got up and walked away, Jiang Chen pushed open the small door of the fence and walked into the courtyard. When Jiang Chen walked in front of the grass house, the bamboo sliding door on the side of the grass house was gently opened from the inside, and a gray figure appeared in front of Jiang Chen, and there was a game of Go in front of him, at this time he was holding a sunspot in his hand but he didn't know where to go.

This person looks to be around seventy years old, wearing a gray Confucian shirt is far from gorgeous, but the whole person is as natural as the law, no sloppy air at all, although the hair is gray, but the hair is also full of energy, although the old face is thin, but there are bright eyes staring at Jiang Chen's body, so that Jiang Chen still has a feeling of being seen through his heart, Jiang Chen knows that the person in front of him is the grandson of the Xiangguo of the Han and Tang Dynasties.

Jiang Chen couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "The three princes of Confucianism, although they have no power to restrain the chicken, they are also worthy of their reputation, and they are all the courtiers of Jiangshan Sheji. ”

"Student Jiang Chen, see teacher. Jiang Chen saluted again.

"Your Highness is exempt, I heard that His Royal Highness inherited the former Qilin Pavilion University scholar Mr. Huaiyuan, I have been looking forward to Mr. Sun Huaiyuan for a long time, I don't know how Mr. Huaiyuan is now?" Gongsun Qi asked such a question first.

A hint of gloom flashed on Jiang Chen's face and said: "The student is indeed a Wendao master inherited from Huaiyuan's teacher, and he doesn't hide it from the teacher, the teacher was killed by a traitor three years ago. ”

"What?" Gongsun Qi's eyes suddenly widened, and he slapped the table with his hand: "Who did it?"

Jiang Chen said: "I don't know who is the student, when the student arrived one step late, he could only see the teacher fall in a pool of blood, and the student chased more than 8,000 miles deep into the land of the barbarians to kill the traitor. ”

"It's a pity, it's a pity, ......it's a pity," Gongsun Qi said six pities in a row, and the dark color was quite sad, but it didn't take long for Gongsun Qi to collect his emotions and ask: "Your Highness is not only quite accomplished in literature and Taoism, but also in martial arts, and now at the age of seventeen, it is difficult for hundreds of millions of living beings in the world to come up with the ultimate in martial arts, the realm of saints, but I have never heard of who His Highness is taught from, as far as I know, Mr. Huaiyuan is not a talent with both civil and military skills." ”

Jiang Chen already knew in his mind at this time, Xiangguo invited him here today to explore the truth and reality, and Jiang Chen could guess a little bit about the reason behind it.

However, Jiang Chen still answered honestly: "The student's martial arts are indeed not taught by the teacher, but by someone else, who teaches them in dreams and dreams night and night, although it is bizarre, but every sentence is true, forget the teacher's knowledge." ”

Gongsun Qi stroked his beard: "There are no wonders in the world, and now His Royal Highness has both civil and military skills, and he has killed many masters of the evil way, which is really a blessing for me in the Han and Tang Dynasties, how can the old man embarrass His Highness?"

"Thank you for your understanding. Jiang Chen said.

"Now the old man has an endgame in front of him, and he doesn't know how to solve it, and the old man also asked His Highness to try how to solve this chess game. Gongsun Qi said.

Jiang Chen took two steps forward so that he could see the chess game more directly, but when Jiang Chen saw the chess game, or when it was not a chess game, Jiang Chen's heart chuckled, and a four-character noun rose from the bottom of Jiang Chen's heart: "The tigers devour the dragons!"
