The victory and defeat have been divided, but Zhang Zheng still has no intention of stopping. Instead, he continued to stare at the corner of the white chessboard, his mind racing.

Li Chengqian's white chess pieces represent Feng An, while Zhang Zheng's black chess pieces represent the Lingnan rebels.

Zhang Zheng is using the chessboard to deduce the battle situation in Lingnan, otherwise Zhang Zheng would not have been able to lose so quickly.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, one more game! This time, you will be the one who will hold the sunspot, and I will represent Feng An! Zhang Zheng woke up from his contemplation, and then exchanged chess pieces with Li Chengqian.

"Good!" Li Chengqian nodded, and also reflected Zhang Zheng's intentions. In this game, Zhang Zheng did not run amok and sinister and cunning as before.

Instead, he completely brought himself into the position of a wingman. Because there is one thing that Zhang Zheng has never understood.

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, it seemed that the rebellions of the wingmen were always continuous. What is the reason? If it is said that because Feng Ang raised his own dignity in order to protect himself, Feng Ang could still explain it when he was alive.

So after Feng An's death, the wingmen are still in rebellion, is it also because there are other people who support themselves?

With the exception of the northern grasslands, Datang's policy towards foreign races has always been relaxed. Even compared with the Han Chinese, the bureaucrats also had less Han servitude and exorbitant taxes.

If careerists incite rebellions, it is impossible for careerists to appear every year. Therefore, Zhang Zheng went to Lingnan this time, and on the other hand, he wanted to figure out this reason.

The deduction on the chessboard may not seem to be of much use. But for Zhang Zheng and Li Chengqian, whose sources are completely cut off, it is already the best way.

So now the two of them have changed their identities, and they are trying their best to substitute themselves into the corresponding roles. When he was in charge of Baizi, Li Chengqian didn't think much about it.

But when he took himself into the position of a wingman, his face suddenly became solemn. Because, defeat is too fast!

When the flag representing Feng Ang in Zhang Zheng's hand fell, it was the last sight. Li Chengqian's representative of the bureaucratic sunspot also happens to be the last corner left!

The situation is completely unchanged from the previous game.

"This, Brother Sheng'er, the bureaucrats are in turmoil, and there is no possibility of a successful rebellion." Li Chengqian was a little stunned, he also understood the problem!

Zhang Zheng nodded thoughtfully, and then Li Chengqian's words said: "Not to mention that the Tang Dynasty sent an elite main force to suppress it, even the rebellion of the eight thousand elite soldiers under Feng Ang's command is unlikely to pose any threat to them. And it is impossible that there are no people among the wingmen who cannot see the situation clearly, but the rebellion of the wingmen still occurs every year, why is this? Li Chengqian also agreed with Zhang Zheng's words, nodded and responded: "And my Tang Dynasty's policy towards the southern barbarians is also very relaxed, theoretically speaking, there is no reason for the bureaucrats to rebel." ”

"There must be a reason, otherwise it would be weird!" Zhang Zheng and Li Chengqian began to guess the reason for the rebellion of the bureaucrats as if they were singing double reeds, one by one.

It's just that the more the two guessed, the more confused they became, staring at each other's eyes with big eyes, and looking at each other's eyes with bewilderment.

"The information is limited, I can't guess!" Li Chengqian shook his head, picked up the chess pieces on the chessboard one by one, and put them back into the chess box.

Zhang Zheng shook his head, and he didn't think about these things. After taking the chess box, the two began to fight officially.

However, this time is different from the previous two times, and they have begun to use their own methods! The time came in the afternoon, and Zhang Zheng and Li Chengqian also played Go in the room all day.

"Knock knock! Da Lang Jun, Shao Lang Jun, eat. Chen Yu knocked on the door of the two of them and stood outside and shouted.

"Got it!" Zhang Zheng responded. Looking at the half-endgame on the chessboard, he said to Li Chengqian: "Continue after eating?" Li Chengqian stood up and stretched and responded, "Okay, I'll continue later." Then he reached out and pulled the door open.

Chen Yu and a group of guards stood on the splint, and not far away stood the sailor who came to call everyone to eat. The place to eat is in a private room in front of the warehouse on the second floor.

Of course, the only people who can come here to eat on weekdays are Boss Zhou and a businessman surnamed Wu. The sailors and guards ate in the dormitory on the lowest floor.

Only this time, because there were guests, the chef made more meals. Under these conditions, it is impossible to eat stir-fried food.

Stir-fried food has not yet become widespread in the lives of ordinary people. So today's dinner is a simple boiled fish, a plate of roasted bacon, and a tofu soup.

Of course, the most popular pasta dish of northerners is also indispensable. Just by taking a look at the dishes, Zhang Zheng lost his appetite.

The same is true of Li Chengqian, who was raised by the chef of the East Palace. After a few bites, the two of them ate hastily.

Zhang Zheng made a decision in an instant, went back to the room, and opened a small stove! Zhang Zheng and Li Chengqian watched coldly as the guards devoured them.

After everyone was full and left, Zhang Zheng came to the back kitchen. After glancing at the ingredients in the back kitchen, he took out a handful of copper coins and threw them to the ship's chef.

Then he pointed to a basket of small crucian carp in the basket and said, "Go, wash the fish for me!" The wealth of the ship's chef increased inexplicably, and a pair of small eyes caught by the fat on his face instantly revealed their essence.

"Hehe, wait a minute!" Then the whole person burst out with a speed that was completely inconsistent with the body type.

Picking up the fish basket, he processed the crucian carp that Zhang Zheng valued as quickly as possible. I also rinsed the fish with water several times very intimately.

If Zhang Zheng hadn't stopped him, he would have washed the fish more cleanly by looking at him. Zhang Zheng nodded with satisfaction, this cook has spirituality.

He took the fish that the cook had cleaned, and said to him with his nostrils: "Look, I'll only teach you once!" The cook was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that his personality had been insulted.

But because of Zhang Zheng's identity, the joy of going out to pick up money today was instantly extinguished. looked at Zhang Zheng coldly, ready to see how this son-in-law, who didn't even seem to be able to kill chickens, taught himself to make fish.

Zhang Zheng doesn't care what the cook's mood is. Scoop out a large spoonful of lard from the clay pot next to the iron pot.

Seeing the corner of the cook's eyes twitching, his heart was distressed to death. Although pork was cheap meat in this era, it was still a meat dish that could only be touched once in a long time for the sailors and men on the ship.

It's just that Zhang Zheng gave too much just now, and forcibly resisted the idea of stopping it!

Zhang Zheng dug out a large spoonful of lard and melted it in an iron pot. When the lard is smoking, pour all the fish into the oil and start frying.

Then I found another clay pot and added green onions, ginger and garlic to it. There is no shortage of spices on the merchant ship, and some large ingredients such as bay leaves and star anise are added, filled with water and boiled.
