Chapter 36 The Way of the Chess Player

The two listened to the attendant's words and glanced at each other, this seemed too sudden, the national teacher and Mo Xiaofeng had never known each other, how could they invite Mo Xiaofeng for no reason. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Prince Sheyu said: "You tell them, Brother Mo is tired, let them please go back!" The attendant said: "They said that the national teacher has something that Brother Mo needs, please Brother Mo must go!"

Mo Xiaofeng said to Prince Sheyu: "Could it be that he already knows about me?"

Prince Sheyu said: "I really don't know what this national teacher is up to!"

Mo Xiaofeng said: "Otherwise, I'll go over and go back!"

Prince Sheyi said: "But you have to be careful in everything, I will help you arrange Rong Yunma's affairs here, don't worry, I will give you a proper plan when you come back!"

Mo Xiaofeng said: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness!"

Mo Xiaofeng turned around and walked out, and the two people sent by the national teacher were already waiting in the front hall. He followed the two out of the palace, got into a carriage, and came to the mansion of the national teacher. Got down from the carriage and entered the gate, walked inside, and came to a courtyard, surrounded by elegant scenery, green trees, passing through a sheep's intestine path among the flowers, in front of a pool, on which a wooden bridge was erected, and in the pavilion opposite, I saw the national teacher Fei Demon Ancestor sitting there alone, fiddling with the chessboard on the table.

Mo Xiaofeng walked over and said, "Mo Xiaofeng sees the national teacher!"

Fei Demon Ancestor looked up at Mo Xiaofeng and said with a smile: "Brother Mo, you are finally here, how about sitting down and watching my chess game?"

Mo Xiaofeng sat down opposite the national teacher, and an attendant poured tea for him, and he said, "Why is the national teacher playing chess alone?"

Fei Demon Ancestor said while not fiddling with the chess pieces: "You don't know this, the old man plays chess, and playing chess with his opponent is actually the same as playing it himself!"

"Oh?" Mo Xiaofeng was puzzled.

Fei Demon Ancestor continued: "This game of chess is the same as this leading soldiers to fight, you know what the opponent wants is like playing with yourself, the highest level of knowing yourself and knowing the other is that you can turn your opponent into yourself, so that you can use your opponent to control all the situations on both sides of the enemy and us, so just like this game of chess, when you can master both sides of the enemy and us, all the chess pieces are at your mercy, you can win if you want to win, and lose if you want to lose, whether you have an opponent or not!"

Mo Xiaofeng said: "But what if your opponent also turns you into him?"

Fei Demon Ancestor said: "It's better like this, can Brother Mo play a game with the old man?"

Mo Xiaofeng said: "I am not very skilled in playing chess, I am afraid that I will make the national teacher laugh!"

Fei Demon Ancestor said: "It's just a casual play, don't worry, General Tu Wei will not set off until noon to rectify the people, don't be in a hurry!" As he spoke, he disrupted the chess game and rearranged it.

Mo Xiaofeng said: "Then please ask the national teacher for advice!"

Fei Demon Ancestor said: "Brother Mo is bright, today's game will be until you win, once you win, you can leave immediately!"

Mo Xiaofeng said: "According to what the national teacher said!"

The two of them set up the chess pieces, and the non-demon ancestor said: "I am an elder, I should let you, you come first!"

Mo Xiaofeng said: "Then the junior will admit it!"

The two played against each other for almost a stick of incense, and they didn't win or lose. Mo Xiaofeng looked up at the sun, and seeing that it was almost noon, the non-demon ancestor suddenly asked: "By the way, I don't know if my junior brother Huaichong is good lately!"

Mo Xiaofeng was suddenly asked by him, what rumors did the Demon Ancestor already know, he smiled indifferently and said, "What, Mr. Huai is your junior brother of the national teacher?"

Fei Demon Ancestor knew that he was pretending to be confused, and said with a smile: "You don't even know this, do you!"

Mo Xiaofeng changed the topic and said, "Does the national teacher have anything to say, I heard from your people when I came, you have something I need, I don't know what it is?"

Fei Demon Ancestor smiled and said, "You tell me first, did Huai Chong come to the Demon Continent this time to find Qu Long's whereabouts!"

Mo Xiaofeng saw that he turned the topic back again, so he said: "The national teacher has repeatedly mentioned Mr. Huai, is this related to what I need?"

Fei Demon Ancestor said: "Don't you want to know Qu Long's whereabouts?"

"Oh!" Mo Xiaofeng said: "It seems that there is something I need as the national teacher said, could it be this!"

Fei Demon Ancestor said: "I won't sell it to you, in fact, it is not difficult to find Qu Long, it depends on whether you have the courage to do so!"

Mo Xiaofeng said: "The national teacher is so sure that we are coming for Qu Long?"

Fei Demon Ancestor said: "You don't have to hide it, the old man will tell you the truth, if you want to find Qu Long, you still have to go to the Tianta Empire to find it, although it is deserted and strange things often happen, but as long as you go, you will definitely be able to find it, it depends on whether you dare to go!"

Mo Xiaofeng listened to his words, thinking in his heart, he didn't know if what he said was true or not, and remembered what Prince Sheyu had said to him, this was probably a trick used by the Demon Ancestor to deal with Huai Chong, deceiving them to kill themselves, and he had seen the scene in the Heavenly Tower Empire that night. He said: "The news of the national teacher is really well-informed, no wonder he can know himself and his opponent!"

Fei Demon Ancestor smiled again and said: "I know, you still can't trust me now, anyway, I have already told you everything I know, you can go back and tell Huai Chong, and the rest of the things are up to you!"

Mo Xiaofeng said: "Forgiveness can't know yourself and your opponent!"

Fei Demon Ancestor said: "If you can't even know yourself and your opponent, how can you win me in this game of chess?"

Mo Xiaofeng said: "I just think that this is a good game of chess, and it is good for each side to keep to themselves, why do we want to make a move, and the result is that both sides are lost!"

Fei Demon Ancestor said: "According to what you mean, this chess game is better than not playing?"

Mo Xiaofeng said: "After listening to what the national teacher just said, I suddenly felt that I still have to know myself and the other in this game of chess, and my heart is too tired!"

Fei Demon Ancestor said: "In fact, as long as people are in the world, they are playing chess every day, you have to think about not moving, but some people have to move first!"

Mo Xiaofeng knew that he was talking about himself, so he smiled, pushed the horse forward, and said, "So it's strange that the next one moved first, so the national teacher, you are going to lose!"

The national teacher said: "Brother Mo also said that his chess skills are not exquisite enough, it seems that Brother Mo is deeply hidden, and the old man still can't know himself and his opponent!" As he spoke, he took a step aside.

Mo Xiaofeng said: "I still think that the success or failure of this chess game is not in this general and handsome, nor in this chess piece, but in the person who plays chess!" Saying that, he turned the car to the veteran who was not the demon ancestor, and said: "National teacher, you lost!" "Haha......" smiled and said: "This Momo brother speaks really incisively, so I don't like to play chess with others, it is better for me to have an opponent than to play it myself, at least I control the overall situation by myself, it is better than two people!"

Mo Xiaofeng understood what he was hinting at, so he smiled and said, "National Teacher, I won in Xia, I have to go first!"

Fei Demon Ancestor said: "Since my skills are not as good as others, then let Brother Mo do it!"

Mo Xiaofeng stood up and arched his hand: "Then I'll leave first!"

Non-Demon Ancestor said: "I won't send it far!"

He stood outside the pavilion, looking at Mo Xiaofeng who had just left, and a middle-aged man in a gray robe beside him said, "Ancestor, how could you be defeated in the hands of a junior today!"

Fei Demon Ancestor smiled and said: "You don't understand this, I deliberately lost to him, just so that he could mistakenly think that the old man is arrogant by nature, and there is no city government at all, so that if he is an enemy of me in the future, he will relax his guard against me!"

The man said: "In this way, it is actually him who is really arrogant at that time!"

Fei Demon Ancestor smiled: "Yes, it's all right!" He turned back to the pavilion and sat down and said, "Have you informed Prince Ming of the matter of Lan Ye City?" The man said: "It has been notified, Prince Ming said that everything was arranged by the Ancestor!" Fei Demon Ancestor said: "Okay, it's time to get ready to go!"

Mo Xiaofeng rushed back to Prince Sheyi's mansion, only to see several young men walking out of the door, passing by Mo Xiaofeng. The person in the lead also glanced at Mo Xiaofeng. Mo Xiaofeng thought in his heart that this person seemed to have seen it somewhere. He looked back at the people, who didn't look like people from the palace. He didn't care so much, and hurried into the palace, but the guards didn't stop him.

Mo Xiaofeng came to the back hall, Prince Sheyi was still sitting there waiting for him, the door was open, he walked in and said, "Your Highness, I'm back!"

Prince Sheyong got up and asked, "How is the national teacher?"

Mo Xiaofeng said: "Just now he insisted on pulling me to play chess with him, and he also said that if you want to find Qu Long, you must go to the Heavenly Tower Country!"

"What, Tianta Country!" Prince Sheyu frowned.

Mo Xiaofeng said: "But when I came down to your country, I passed through the Tianta country, and I know what the situation there is, so I always feel that the words of the national teacher are unbelievable!"

Prince Sheyu said: "The words of the national teacher must not be believed casually, the Tianta Country is not a place to play around, if you don't know if you go back again, be careful that he is lying to you to kill yourself!"

Mo Xiaofeng said: "This is also the meaning of the following guess!"

Prince Sheyu said: "Okay, let's not talk about this for now, I have already arranged the matter of Rong Yunma for you, as soon as you leave, I will send someone to invite Princess Jingshu, and he has promised to help you do this!"

As soon as Mo Xiaofeng heard him talk about Princess Jingshu, he suddenly remembered the young men he had just seen outside the door, and the one led by him looked familiar, wasn't it Princess Jingshu dressed as a man. Mo Xiaofeng said: "What do I need to do?"

Prince Sheyu said: "You don't need to do anything, Princess Jingshu said just now, don't make a move in this matter, if you make a move, it will affect her, you just need to wait for her at noon to wait for her in the Xianzi Pavilion ten miles south of the royal city, and then she will personally hand over Rong Yunma to you!"

Mo Xiaofeng was overjoyed, bowed down and said, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness!"

Prince Sheyu said: "I don't have to thank you, thank you Princess Jingshu!" He suddenly remembered something again, and said: "By the way, I don't want others to know about this matter, I have let the two people who came with you go first, you stay here, let's have a few drinks!"

Mo Xiaofeng said: "Your Highness's good intentions, I feel honored here!"

So, Mo Xiaofeng had a few drinks with Prince Sheyong, and seeing that it was almost noon, Prince Sheyong personally sent him out of the royal city.

After walking for a few miles, there was a hillside in front of him, and there was a forest on it, and Prince Sheyu said, "Okay, I'll send you here!" He pointed to the woods: "Go up from the front and walk another five or six miles to the Xianzi Pavilion!"

Mo Xiaofeng said: "The great kindness of Prince Sheju will be repaid on the next day!"

Prince Sheyi said: "You and I have known each other for less than a day, and we can cherish each other, it seems that you and I have a good fate, how about I become brothers with you!"

Mo Xiaofeng said: "How can he be a brother with His Royal Highness the Prince, and he is fortunate to be in the next three lives!"

Prince Sheyu said: "In this case, we will be called brothers when there is no one in the future, I will be a brother and you will be a brother, and you will call me Your Highness when there is someone!"

Mo Xiaofeng said: "Thanks to His Royal Highness's love, I am very grateful!"

Prince Sheyu said: "Okay, that's it, you go quickly, I am waiting for you every day in the royal city, and when you come back in the future, we will bow down again!"

Mo Xiaofeng said: "Then His Royal Highness the Prince take care!"

"Take care, brother!"

After the two finished speaking, Mo Xiaofeng no longer delayed, and spurred the horse away. Prince Sheyu saw Mo Xiaofeng go away, so he rushed back to the royal city with his guards.
