Chapter 283 - The Pattern Game
The lights in the room may have been burning for too long, and the fire has gradually dimmed, but the two people who are engrossed in the game sit opposite each other, not noticing the lights that are about to burn out.
The room was silent, except for the occasional "pop... Bang...", the people waiting outside the house were even more vigilant, and no one spoke.
The reckless man with thick eyebrows and a short beard with a black face and short hair seemed to be impatient, and when he was about to take a step, he was stretched out and grabbed by a man in a coarse cloth shirt beside him, with a resolute face and a calm look.
The short-haired reckless man is a person who is anxious, where can he manage a lot, and he said with a sideways look: "Old Wu, you..."
When he opened his mouth, he saw the man in coarse cloth, and his eyes burst out with a little coldness, and when the short-haired reckless man saw this, his eyes were anxious and paused, and he immediately closed his mouth, and he was patient and said no more.
The man in coarse cloth clothes stopped the reckless man beside him, and then with a strong vigilance, he raised his eyes to look at the old eunuch who was not far from the two of him and was also guarding the door.
Although he is leaning on his body and looks like an old man who is about to be blown down, for some reason, it always makes people feel cold in their hearts, and the man in coarse cloth mutters to himself in his heart.
"It's obviously a lethargic look, and there are flaws all over his body, but if you really want to do it, these flaws have become a lure for the enemy... When did he have such a master beside him? ”
Xu felt the increasingly intense probing gaze of the man in coarse cloth, or he had been stared at by the other party for a long time, and he was a little impatient, and the eyes of the old eunuch who had been slightly closed slowly opened a line, and his cloudy eyes glanced away at the gaze that had been looking at him...
The four eyes intersected, only for a moment, if the man in coarse cloth clothes was hit hard, his body was immediately unstable, if it were not for the short-haired reckless man next to him to see his body swaying, stretching out his hand to help him, the man in coarse cloth clothes was afraid that he would fall out on his back instantly.
"What's the matter, Old Wu."
The short-haired reckless man, who didn't notice it at all, when he held Wu Fen beside him, he felt that he was trembling slightly, he had known Wu Fen for so many years, whether it was a life and death situation, or a charge, he had never seen him tremble and retreat, how could he be glanced at by the old eunuch, and he trembled.
Where did Zhang Hude know, Shicai glanced at each other, and fought with invisible internal force, although Lao Wu was said to be a general in the army, but when it came to martial arts cultivation, how could he be able to defeat such Jianghu masters as Zhongqi, under the temptation of Shicai's move, he had already fallen behind.
Wu Fen didn't speak, not that he didn't want to answer, but he was afraid that he would vomit blood for a moment, and after many years of military career, Wu Fen was unwilling to show his cowardice in front of the enemy, frowning slightly, so he swallowed the sweetness in his throat, helped the arm of the reckless man beside him, and tried his best to stabilize his body, feeling that the reckless man next to him wanted to step forward for himself, and hurriedly burst out a few words from his clenched teeth.
"Lao Zhang, don't be reckless, this old eunuch is not simple."
Zhang Hude is not afraid of heaven and earth in his life, only a few people can persuade him, Wu Fen is one of them, a pair of round leopard eyes, facing Wu Fen's calm eyes, Zhang Hude suppressed the anger in his heart, snorted coldly, and said more.
And the old eunuch, seeing that his goal of intimidating the other party had been achieved, changed back to that sleepy appearance...
With the sound of falling children in the house again, the lamp that had lasted for a long time finally burned out, suddenly went out, and the room suddenly fell into darkness.
Only for a moment when the lights went out, Zhang and Wu, who were waiting outside the door, looked back at the same time, wanting to turn over and enter the house, but the old eunuch did not react, still closed his eyes slightly, and stood bent.
Seeing that Zhang and Wu were about to break into the door, they heard a subtle sound of falling children, and then followed by the sound of laughter of the two people in the house, Zhang and Wu looked at each other and gave up the idea of breaking in. m.
A slender jade hand in the dark, holding the thing that leads the lamp, walked slowly, until the game table, carefully lit the oil lamp, and saw the faces of several people in the room.
Cardamom girl, clear eyes like a lake, under the light, pink cheeks like peach blossoms, the lights flashed in front of her, only to see the couch tattoos, has been full of black and white sons.
Sitting opposite two people, although one of them has black hair, Pan's temples are frosty, sword eyebrows are in the sideburns, and the star-like eyes have been slightly obscured by the years, but it is precisely because the light in his eyes is slightly reduced that people can't see his joy and anger, but this game makes his brows frown slightly.
On the other side of the table, the person sitting opposite this person was very old, wearing a wide robe, a plain shirt, wrinkles on his forehead, and furrows at the corners of his lips, which made him tired, but at this moment, he was holding a wine cup and was confident.
The cardamom girl lit the oil lamp, only to see the situation clearly, and couldn't help but sigh, Uncle Huang and Grandpa Xiao were really powerful, the oil lamp was extinguished, and the two of them didn't get up, but continued to play chess in the dark.
Not only that, but when Uncle Huang couldn't see the chess game, he found a flaw in Grandpa Xiao's strict layout, and clapped his hands again and again and praised: "Oops! Uncle Huang is very powerful, so Grandpa Xiao's star position is not guaranteed. ”
If someone else is on the side and disturbs the saint playing chess, even if he doesn't end up with a dismissal, I am afraid that the pain of flesh and skin is indispensable, but at this time, after the saint fell a son, he didn't care about being disturbed by the girl next to him, but it was rare to show a smile and speak with a hint of doting.
"You're clever, so do you want to help your Grandpa Xiao... The game of chess pays attention to no distractions, and the gentleman thinks too much and is disturbed by it. ”
After the saint finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Xiao Xiang, who was sitting opposite, and did not open his eyes because Wang Yue'er lit the lamp in the room, and examined the tattoo, still slightly closing his eyes.
Wang Yue'er turned to Grandpa Xiao with a pair of smart eyes, followed the sage's gaze to Grandpa Xiao, and heard the meaning from the sage's words, her clear eyes moved to the tattoo, her mind moved, and she covered her mouth and smiled: "Uncle Huang Mingjian, Grandpa Xiao thinks a lot, and he is also worried about the emperor's country, not to mention that the emperor is the son of heaven, and he is more favored by God than ordinary people, so the emperor and uncle win, not only in chess, but also in heaven's will." ”
"Hahahaha, you sharp mouth... Wang Tian has a good granddaughter. ”
The saint laughed loudly, but when he was talking to Wang Tian'er, Yu Guang saw the person sitting opposite him, raised his hand slightly, stretched out his index and middle fingers, and twisted out a sunspot from the chess jar on the side, which was very stable, and his palm did not shake at all, and moved slightly along the pattern until the upper right star...
"Bang..."
A moment ago, he was still smiling, his face changed slightly, although he was still smiling, but in the eyes of the two dragons, there was already a slight chill, but it was only for a moment, the chill had disappeared, and he spoke with approval: "Mr. is worthy of my Qiyun countryman, the way of layout, I might as well too." ”
Opening his eyes slightly, Xiao Xiang raised his slightly tired eyes and said softly: "Holy praise, in this game, the minister also escaped by luck." ”
Shengshang said with a smile: "Everything in the world, where does it come from, life is like chess, you need to see the overall situation, I am desperate to break through the siege of the left phase, but I forgot to protect myself, and I ended up with one, and I made a mistake and fell off the field." ”
Xiao Xiang also smiled, but there was no meaning in the smile, and he stretched out his palm towards the saint.
The saint understood, nodded in approval, Xiao Xiang stretched out two fingers, twisted out a white piece from the chess jar on his body, and said calmly: "Although the chess momentum turns, it can still be saved, and the saint only has a slight decline... The chess game in the north is better than this game, and Zongyu is not as good as the saint. ”
Hearing Xiao Xiang's words of approval for the layout of the north, the saint has been slightly constricting his eyes burst out of light, but there is a little pride in this light that has won the teacher's approval, and there is also a little fear of being seen through.
"Please sir."
Wang Yue'er on the side, her heart was already shocked, she was smart and clever, she naturally heard the two people sitting opposite each other, holding Qi Yun Tianxia, in the act of borrowing chess, hurriedly moved back, silently retreated, until in front of the door, only turned around, pushed the door out, leaving only the two monarchs and ministers.
The general closed the door, and heard Zhang Hude behind him step forward quickly: "Miss Yue'er, why did you come out, inside..."
Before the words fell, he saw that the cardamom girl glanced at herself, Zhang Hude understood, and immediately shut up, not saying much.
Wang Yue'er looked back and saw Uncle Wu's slightly pale face, and immediately said with concern: "Uncle Wu, what's wrong with you." ”
Wu Fendan's true qi had calmed down at this moment, and he knew that the other party was just shocked, and he didn't want to really hurt himself, otherwise he was afraid that he would have lost his life at this moment.
didn't want Yue'er to worry about herself, so she tried her best to speak in a calm tone: "It's okay, just breathe for a while, by the way, how did you come out, Xiao Xianghe..."
Wang Yue'er knew that Uncle Wu had a calm temperament, not as hot as Uncle Hude, so she lowered her voice and spoke: "The Holy Lord is discussing with Grandpa Xiao, and it is inconvenient for me to be around, so I will wait outside first... Uncle Wu, you were fine when I went in, you..."
Wang Yue'er was halfway through her words, and immediately knew who had injured Uncle Wu, and the saint came late at night, without any escort, only the rickety old eunuch to accompany him, who would it be.
The lights in the house were turned off, it must have been Uncle Wu and Uncle Hude who were worried about Grandpa Xiao's safety, and had a misunderstanding with the old eunuch, and after a little thought, Wang Yue'er instantly deduced the origin of Uncle Wu's injury.
"Uncle Wu, wait a moment and see how I can relieve your anger." Wang Yue'er saw that Wu Fen, who loved her, turned pale, lowered her voice and spoke.
"Yue'er, don't mess around, Xiao Xiang is still talking with the saint at night."
Wu Fen didn't care about being injured by the old eunuch, and he also knew that the saint was coming, compared to his own small injury, there must be something important to discuss with Xiao Xiang, no matter how bad the relationship between the saint and Xiao Xiang was, but these two people were willing to sit down and discuss, it must be a major matter of the country.
Yue'er is a big ghost, quick-witted, angry but suffering a loss, and wants to relieve her anger, but now that she is in Jianglin, the old eunuch's martial arts are unfathomable, and she needs to be cautious in handling things, so she should stop it immediately.
Knowing that Uncle Wu intends to love himself, such a serious tone must be a matter of great importance, so he stuck out his tongue, no longer naughty, supported Wu Fen, and waited outside the door honestly.
Zhang Hude didn't have these thoughts, he just thought that the person in the house would leave quickly, so that he could pull Lao Wu to drink and eat meat, but when he saw Miss Yue'er and Lao Wu waiting quietly, he had to be patient and accompany the two of them to wait quietly.
The slight movement outside the house did not disturb the two people sitting opposite each other, and a gentleman and a minister opened their mouths to talk, not as distinguished as the monarch and the minister, but the ninety-five honor, slightly respectful.
"Sir, what do you think of the situation in the north?"
When Xiao Xiang heard this, he didn't speak directly, but picked up a son again, thought about it for a while, and landed on the chess game.
Seeing that Xiao Xiang didn't speak, the saint just took care of his own move, and moved his eyes down to see that the chess move that had been reversed was reversed again as this son settled, and Xiao Xiang's voice sounded in his ears.
"Now that the son has been settled, there is no need to regret it, so why care about the old man's humble opinion."
After Xiao Xiang's words, he saw the saint get up, put the jade holding that had been twisting in his hand back on his wrist, moved to his side, and ignored the hot medicinal wine jug on the stove on the side, he reached out and picked it up, walked to his side, and filled the empty wine cup in his hand.
"Mr. obviously still has Qi Yun in his heart, and there are thousands of Li people, but why don't you want to give me advice."
Looking at the Ninety-Five Zun who poured wine for himself on the side, the hand that had been burned red by the wine kettle, Xiao Xiang was in a trance, as if he saw the young man with heroic eyebrows and a long body when he entered the Yunhou Mansion at the beginning of the year.
When I begged myself to teach him, it was like this...
Some people died, but not completely......
