Chapter 258: Who's Laying Out
Then he also followed Li Chengqian's example, and put the chess pieces he picked up on the chessboard in turn. Four people knelt down around the chessboard, one on each of the four directions.
Li Chengqian set up the chess pieces and said: "Chess, in fact, is a small game of confrontation between the two armies. The rules are also very simple, if Brother Zhang is interested, I can explain one or two to Brother Zhang! Zhang Fusheng looked at the chessboard in front of him and arched his hand: "That's great, thank you His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”
"Heh, you're welcome!" Li Chengqian chuckled lightly, and then explained to Zhang Fusheng in a low voice how to play chess.
At first, it was Li Chengqian who was speaking, and Zhang Fusheng was listening. Just a moment later, Huang Jiahao, who was sitting on the sidelines, couldn't help but be attracted by Li Chengqian's voice.
pricked up his ears and listened to Li Chengqian's words word for word. As the two of them listened, a hint of surprise appeared on their faces unconsciously.
This chess doesn't seem to be as simple as it seems. There is great wisdom in it! After listening to Li Chengqian's explanation, this idea popped up in the hearts of the two.
Then at the same time, he cast a surprised look at Zhang Zheng! Zhang Zheng sat on the side, with a smile on his face, quietly listening to Li Chengqian boasting about his masterpiece to the two.
From time to time, I add that this scene has some meaning of gentlemen's friendship. After the two of them understood the way to play chess, they asked the two: "I don't know why Brother Zhang and Brother Huang came to Jiangnan?" Of course, the main thing is to ask Zhang Fusheng.
Huang Jiahao seems to be less good at words than Li Wucun. From the time I got on the boat to now, I only hummed twice!
Zhang Fusheng came back to his senses and nodded to Li Chengqian in thanks. Then he took his eyes off the chessboard and replied to Zhang Zheng: "To be honest, Brother Huang and I are still traveling in Hedong after the New Year. I just heard that the Lingnan bureaucrats were rebelling, so I planned to go to Lingnan to see if I could do my part. Jiangnan, just passing by. ”
"To Lingnan?" Zhang Zheng's eyes suddenly became strange, how did Zhang Fusheng know that the Lingnan bureaucrats were in rebellion.
You must know that Zhang Zheng set off from Chang'an on the night he learned the news of the rebellion of the Lingnan bureaucrats.
According to Zhang Fusheng, they set off from Hedong. Now the two waves of people are meeting in Jiangnan, that is to say, the time for the two to get the news is about the same.
And the route chosen, it may be similar. Is the Daomen so well-informed? Is it a coincidence, Zhang Zheng was a little suspicious in his heart.
Zhang Fusheng also noticed the look of surprise in Zhang Zheng's eyes, and couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong with going to Lingnan?" ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and I also went to Lingnan, and it was also for the rebellion of the bureaucrats." Zhang Zheng spoke, but as soon as he spoke, Zhang Fusheng was also surprised.
"So, Brother Shen Zhixian is also planning to go to the Spirit Canal?"
"Yes!" The two quickly looked at each other after asking and answering, and they both saw a look of surprise on each other's faces.
If this is a coincidence, it is a bit too coincidental. Zhang Zheng suddenly had an indescribable feeling in his heart.
The feeling, indescribable, seems to have a pair of invisible hands pushing everything. This feeling was felt once in Jinyang.
It seems that what he wants to do has already been arranged in the dark. Now that I have met Zhang Fusheng and Huang Jiahao, this feeling is even stronger.
Is there such a coincidence in the world, maybe there is! But Zhang Zheng didn't believe that this kind of coincidence would happen to him.
In particular, Zhang Fusheng got the news of the rebellion of the wingmen, which was almost the same as the time when he got the news.
It's hard not to make Zhang Zheng think about it. The atmosphere in the room was silent for a while, and Zhang Zheng asked Zhang Fusheng, "I don't know where Brother Zhang got the news of the rebellion of the wingmen?" Zhang Fusheng thought for a moment and replied: "Yunzhou! When Brother Huang and I traveled to Yunzhou, the whole of Yunzhou was discussing the rebellion of the Lingnan bureaucrats. Hearing the word Yunzhou, Zhang Zheng thought about the location of Yunzhou in his mind.
Then I was shocked. muttered to himself: "Yunzhou, it's impossible, this can't be, it's absolutely impossible!" Zhang Fusheng was a little confused: "What is impossible?" ”
"This is absolutely impossible, Brother Zhang can know that I set off from Chang'an as soon as I got the rebellion of the Lingnan bureaucrats. And the distance from Yunzhou to Lingnan is much farther than the distance from Chang'an to Lingnan. But Brother Zhang, you set off from Yunzhou, I set off from Chang'an, theoretically speaking, I should arrive at Lingnan first. However, we met in Jiangnan by coincidence, what does this mean? Zhang Zheng has never questioned the chivalrous heart of Zhang Fusheng and Huang Jiahao.
But in the current situation, Zhang Zheng was also confused, and his speech became a little incoherent. Zhang Fusheng took Zhang Zheng's words and continued: "It shows that Yunzhou got the news of the rebellion of the Lingnan bureaucrats earlier than Chang'an, how is this possible?" But as soon as the words fell, the four people in the room fell silent.
None of the four people in the room were stupid. In an instant, it became clear that the meeting of the four was not a coincidence.
It's the result of someone's careful arrangement! Li Chengqian's eyes were full of horror, and he muttered: "Who is the person who is laying out, and what is his purpose?" Zhang Zheng's eyes also showed a dignified look.
If this is a game, then when did it start? What is the purpose? Is the rebellion of the Lingnan bureaucrats also part of this bureau?
If yes, who can do it with such a big stroke? If not, how did that person get all this?
"Hehe, maybe, it's just a coincidence?" Zhang Zheng smiled and said to the three of them, but this smile was a little reluctant no matter how you look at it.
"Brother Shenzhixian, this bureau may start before you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arrive in Jinyang!" Zhang Fusheng was the first to calm down, thinking back to the time when he got the news from the Daomen.
Zhang Zheng sat up straight and asked, "What do you say?" Zhang Fusheng sorted out his thoughts and said slowly: "Last year, when I traveled to Hedong with Brother Huang, I passed by a Taoist temple. And it was from that temple that I learned about your life and the news of your impending assassination. At that time, I didn't think much about it, I just thought that a good person like you shouldn't die under conspiracy, so I galloped with Brother Huang all the way to the rescue. Now that I think about it, how can such a small Taoist temple know your whereabouts so clearly. So my guess is that we probably all got into it at that time. ”
"This ......" The two looked at each other, their eyes full of puzzlement. If so, then the two should have met last year.
But that person missed a little, and he didn't expect Zhang Zheng and Li Chengqian to go to Jinyang in advance.
