In front of the Luoyun Pavilion, Liu Bei was hanging the rod and fishing, and there were already a lot of swimming fish caught from the lake in the fish basket next to him.

The forest is quiet and the wind is whimpering.

He leaned against a large cyan boulder behind him and let out a long breath.

Everyone in the world is a swimming fish, and who is not busy with a few baits on this fishing rod.

"Xuande, I have handed over the game of chess to the scholars on the mountain. They are all scholars, and they learn very quickly." Jian Yong hurried from afar.

After all, he was just a scribe who sat high and read on weekdays, and he was already wheezing after just a few steps.

"Xianhe's body still needs to be exercised a lot." Liu Bei turned his head, "Otherwise, I'm afraid that you will suffer in the future."

"You don't have to say cool things. It's easy to say that you're lying high here."

Jian Yong complained, and then cut to the chase, "But your method is not bad, this chess is indeed a good thing, I think it can be popular not only among scribes, but also in the market of Luoyang."

"You must know that the previous games were mainly based on six games, which is far less convenient than your chess. I think it won't take many days, and the game in this city will be replaced by your chess. When the time comes, release the news that you are a chess maker, and your name as a young tiger of the Liu family will rise again."

Liu Bei nodded, "This chess is indeed a big killer, I didn't want to use it so early, but now the time is actually early." But there is no way, the credit I made in the southeast that day is not small, but now there is no rumor in the DPRK and China, and it seems that I plan to put my credit on the shelf."

"But if we don't have an identity, we will inevitably be constrained to do things. This Luoyang City is not our Zhuo County. Any one that comes out is a big shot. If we don't have some name protection, I'm afraid that if someone steps on us, we will lose half of our lives."

Jian Yong touched the few remaining chess pieces in his hand and sighed, "I also understand the meaning of Xuande, Luoyang is indeed not a good place. It's just that you're so famous, won't you be too eager? We can't wait."

Liu Bei shook his head, "I can't wait, I have to become famous as soon as possible." Late fame, no matter how illustrious it is, is not happy enough."

Jian Yong smiled bitterly, but he didn't say more, he had been friends with Liu Bei for many years, so he naturally knew Liu Bei's temperament.

Once he has set up on something, no one can change it.

"In addition to sending a pair of chess pieces to the library, I also asked Junyi to take a pair to the gold market in Luoyang." Jian Yong smiled, "Don't blame me for making my own decisions, since I want to do it, then I have to start from both big and small places at the same time."

Liu Bei nodded, "Xianhe thought thoughtfully, but he thought less."

"Xuande just throws the rod, such a trivial matter is not something you should care about." Jian Yong smiled, "Otherwise, if you let you do everything yourself, then what's the use of asking us people?"

He looked at the fishing rod that Liu Bei put aside, and sighed, "It's just that I don't know if the big fish you want to catch will bite the bait if Xuande has taken so much trouble to drop the rod here."

Liu Bei smiled, "I will definitely bite the bait." Xianhe, don't forget, although I am a down-and-out royal family, I used to weave mats and sell shoes, but I am still surnamed Liu."

"Even if the world was already full of holes back then, this one Liu character has already surpassed all kinds of words."

At this time, the fishing rod placed on the shore shook slightly, and it was pulled slowly towards the lake.

Liu Bei stepped on the fishing rod with one foot and asked with a smile, "Xianhe, you said that this bites the bait, but it is a big fish?"

In a wooden house in the gambling house in the west of the city of Luoyang, Shi Ah was looking at the chess in his hand.

Fu Shiren stood not far away, looking towards the gambling house, which was in full swing at this time, and several tables were crowded with gamblers in the city.

A man with his sleeves pulled open and his chest exposed

They were red-eared and shouted loudly.

Many rangers patrolled the house with swords, and at the slightest movement, they would rush forward.

The gambling house is the most visible in the world, some people get rich here, and some people go bankrupt here.

There are winning men laughing heartily, and there are losing men shouting.

"Fu Jun is saying that this thing was made by Liu Jun?" After a moment of silence, Shi Ah finally spoke.

"Yes, it was done by Xuande. After Xuande was finished, he asked me to send a pair to Shi Jun first. It's a good thing for a casino." Fu Shiren said with a smile.

Although his intelligence is not as good as Jian Yong's, he is also a rare smart person, and after Jian Yong's slight reminder on the mountain that day, he naturally understood the purpose of this thing.

Shi A nodded, the gambling house in the market, the gambling equipment has always been based on Liubo. Although it is a matter of gambling, the gambling equipment is not important at all, it can be used for a long time, gamblers will inevitably get tired, and it is naturally best to change the gambling equipment.

"Can Liu Jun ask for something?" Shi Ah asked.

After many years in the market, he has long known that there has never been kindness in this world for no reason. The so-called goodwill must be followed by a conspiracy.

Fu Shiren said with a smile: "Shi Jun is a friend of Xuande, so he won't hide it. The reason why he gave Shi Jun this thing is that Xuande wants to be famous."

"I see." Shi Ah tapped the chess in his hand and was slightly silent.

After a while, he got up and said with a smile: "Liu Jun got his name and I benefited, such a good thing is naturally to be the beauty of an adult."

"Then thank you Shi Jun." Although he knew that the result would be like this, Fu Shiren still hurriedly thanked him.

Seeing his eyes wandering, Shi Ah swept to the room inside from time to time, and asked with a casual smile, "Fu Jun is a guest from afar, why don't you go in and gamble for a few games?" I can teach them how to play."

Now these people are not familiar with the rules, Fu Shiren can make some money when he plays, and this is Shi A's territory, so he is naturally not afraid of winning more and going out to be given a stick.

Fu Shiren already had this intention, he rubbed his hands together, and said with a smile: "In this way, it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate."

Luoyang South Palace, East View.

Since Emperor Zhang and Emperor He, Dongguan has always been the place where the palace classics and school books and writings are engaged.

It is a high-rise pavilion, there are 12 pavilions on the top floor, the palaces and pavilions face each other all around, the green trees are shady, elegant and quiet.

In the past, when Liu Bei and others entered Luoyang, they saw the newly written stone carvings before Taixue, which came from here.

And because of this time for the Xiping period, so it is also called Xiping Stone Scripture.

In one of the library buildings.

An unkempt, disheveled middle-aged man was sitting on the ground yawning, and around him were a number of open bamboo slips.

If no one says it, I'm afraid that all those who have never seen this person will not think that he is Cai Yong and Cai Bojun, who are now extremely famous among scholars.

He is also the person who presided over the study of the Eastern View.

Cai Yong rubbed the corners of his eyes, as if he had just woken up.

He stood up and staggered out. He hasn't been home for a few days, but he misses his two little daughters a little.

He came outside the house and saw Lu Zhi standing on the corridor outside the house.

The east view is all high pavilions, out of the ground, ascending and rising.

Looking down from the top, climbing high and looking far away, the scenery is in the eye. Looking to the north, you can faintly see the North Mountain.

If it is in the early morning when the fog is thick, people are above the attic, as if they are in the white clouds.

"The son did it very early." Cai Yong came to Lu Zhi's side, stood by the window, and took a long breath.

Climbing high and looking far away can always open people's hearts.

"I have been in the border land for a long time, and most of the habits I have developed since I was a child cannot be broken in this life." Lu Zhi smiled.

Cai Yong leaned on the railing and rubbed his messy hair, "Zigan, I see that you seem to have something on your mind since you returned from the south this time?" Cai Yong asked with a smile.

Lu Zhi nodded, "Although the rebels of the Southern Barbarians deserve to die, but if you look into the reason, after all, it is due to the growing fatigue of the government. I'm though

They have hearts but are powerless, so they are anxious."

"Now no one knows that the government is getting tired, but no one has a way." Cai Yong shook his head, "When Duke Chen died at the hands of those eunuchs, the bones of the scholars were broken. I can't do anything more."

Lu Zhi was silent.

Since Chen Fan and Dou Wu died at the hands of eunuchs, scholars can only rely on the hands of the family if they want to do something.

"Okay, don't talk about this, now that we are in Dongguan, we naturally have to focus on books, this is a major event that can go down in history." Cai Yong rubbed his cheeks vigorously.

"Leaving a name in history?" Lu Zhi shook his head and smiled, "You Cai Bo are enough to go down in history with your flying white body alone."

Cai Yong smiled and said, "I don't want you Lu Zigan to say these flattering words."

"No matter how flattering it is, it's all true. Bo Jie, I really envy you for being a pure reader." Lu Zhi was moved.

There are too many things to worry about in his heart, far less pure than Cai Yong.

The two have also been friends for many years, and Cai Yong naturally knows what kind of person he Lu Zigan is, strong and loyal, and no one can compare to him Lu Zhi.

He didn't say anything more, but said with a smile: "I heard that Zigan recently accepted a new disciple, and he did a lot of great things when he was in the south, but I want to congratulate Zigan here. In the future, when he has leisure, he can bring this person to my house, and I can give him a precious ancient book."

Cai Yong's family has a collection of 10,000 books, and he is even more proud of it.

Lu Zhi smiled and shook his head, "My disciple is a little different, you will know when you see it in the future."

The two of them didn't say anything more, turned around and walked into the attic, now the scriptures are their big deal.

But in the attic, the people who repaired the books in the building were not scattered as usual, but gathered together.

The two of them stepped forward, and it turned out that two of them were surrounded by them.

The two were playing chess, and they were playing chess.

"Li Jun, this chess is not played like this, how can your horse move like that? Are you not going to lie down to death?" One shouted.

"Who said you can't go here, Li Jun, you can pull the cart over and watch the horse that takes care of you, and see if he dares to kill it." Another argued loudly.

"Gentlemen, you are a true gentleman who is silent when watching chess." A scribe sitting on the ground playing chess let out a low shout.

The noise around them stopped for a moment, only to restart a moment later.

Seeing this, Cai Yong didn't stop them, but just smiled and said, "This chess is very popular in Luoyang City now. Whether it is in the market or the wealthy, most of them are talking about chess. I don't know who made it."

"What do you think of this chess?" Lu Zhi asked.

"The person who made this chess had a delicate mind, and although this chess is more complicated than the game, it is also a lot more fun. In a few days, I'm afraid that no one will play Liubo again." Cai Yong has a very high evaluation of chess.

Lu Zhi smiled, "It's really interesting."

In his sleeves, he clenched the chess pieces that Liu Bei asked Jian Yong to send him.

…………

Yuan Shao was in the mansion where he recruited the world's heroes, and he was looking out of the window at this time.

Behind him stood a person, long and jade, handsome, it was his sister who entered the palace and was able to embark on the official career, and now he can barely be regarded as a relative He Jin He Suigao.

Inside, someone was yelling.

It turned out that Yuan Shu was playing chess with Ji Ling.

It's just that Yuan Shu's chess skills are really bad, even if Ji Ling has deliberately conceded several times, Yuan Shu still frequently sends children, and now there are only a few pawns and main generals left on the chessboard.

Yuan Shao turned his head to look at Yuan Shu, and shook his head helplessly, "What does Sui Gao think of this chess?"

Now although He Jin's sister is favored in the palace, she is not the queen, and the current Queen Song has been in the palace for many years, even if He Guiren has some skills, it is still inevitable that she will be suppressed everywhere in the palace.

They started from poverty again, and they were not as good as Queen Song

Hao, so He Jin can only let his sister make more eunuchs inside, while he himself is looking for allies outside.

And he found the Yuan family and found Yuan Shao.

Or that Yuan Shao found him.

"This chess is indeed a rarity." He Jin said with a smile, "Now that it has the potential to replace Liubo in just a short period of time, it will definitely be able to set off a big tide in Luoyang City."

Yuan Shao smiled, put his hands behind his back, and looked out the window.

A bird was standing on a tree in the middle of the courtyard, licking its wings with its head down, as if it was about to fly high in the next moment.

"This chess is indeed a good thing, but I think why is this chess at this time?" Yuan Shao said with a smile.

He Jin was stunned, although he was a relative, it was a pity that he had no real power in his hands now, so the news he got was quite slow.

"Then Gao knows who this chess piece came from?"

"I don't know." He Jin replied truthfully.

It stands to reason that this chess game is so popular now, and the person who made this thing should have been famous for a long time, and there should not be any news until this time.

"The person who did this is none other than Lu Gong's high-ranking disciple, and he is now on the Wushi Mountain outside Luoyang City. And this person's surname is Liu Mingbei from the word Xuande, Sui Gao, you should have seen it." Yuan Shao said with a smile.

He Jin's expression remained unchanged and nodded, "I have indeed seen it." When I returned to Luoyang that day, I met this man on the road."

Yuan Shao smiled, "I invited this person to a banquet a few days ago, and I thought this person was a character, so I didn't want to underestimate him. It's a good calculation to sit on the fame."

He pointed to the bird in the courtyard that was flapping its wings and said with a smile, "Sui Gao, that young tiger, is about to take off."

…………

Luoyang, North Palace, in front of Shuoping Gate.

There were a few "chance encounters" here.

One of them was quite old, and he coughed a few times from time to time, and he looked old, and it seemed that his time was numbered.

But it was this person who seemed to be dying in the next moment, but he had influenced the situation of the Han Dynasty over the years.

He made a policy with Dou Wu, welcomed Emperor Ling into the court, and then designed to kill Dou Wu and Chen Fan, so that he could return to Emperor Ling.

His family is illustrious, his relatives and clans are all over the court, and he is full of wings inside and outside.

This person is today's Great Changqiu, Cao Jie.

And the person standing on the left side of Cao Jie was bent over his waist at this time, with a little flattering on his face.

Just looked at Cao Jie, under the flattering smile, there was a slight coldness.

This person is the hottest eunuch in the palace today, and he often serves Zhang Rang.

There are always new people replacing old people, if Cao Jie is the old person who has lived for a long time, then Zhang Rang is the new person who has come from behind.

The predecessors have blocked the way of the descendants, how can the later ones not hate.

And the person on the right side of Cao Jie is tall and tall, not like a eunuch, but more like a majestic and high-spirited martial artist.

It is the little yellow door Jian Shuo who has a feud with Liu Bei.

"Now there is a novelty in Luoyang, called Xiangqi, I think you all know about it." Cao Jie coughed lightly and said.

The other two nodded, although they were in the palace, the eyeliner outside the palace was naturally indispensable.

"I'm looking for you today because I want us to make a charter together. You are all powerful people, and you already know who invented this chess."

"This person is a disciple of Lu Zhi. Lu Zhi is such a person, you don't need me to say much to you. If this person is allowed to embark on a career and gain fame, it will add wings to Lu Zhi. I think both of you should understand this. And this person seems to have some personal vendetta with Jian Huangmen." Cao Jie said with a smile.

Jian Shuo was silent.

"What Cao Changqiu says, we are like. Now the people in the palace are all in charge of Changqiu." Zhang Rang responded and said.

"Zhang Changshou's words are inevitably a little too much, I am already old now, even if I am strong enough to support myself, how many years can I support myself?" Cao Jie smiled modestly, "In the future, I still want you to come to solve your majesty's worries and solve problems in this palace."

Zhang Rang didn't answer, but just smiled: "So, Cao Changqiu means to hide it and not report it?"

"It's just a matter of dragging him out for a few days, and after a long time, who knows what will happen. Moreover, even if His Majesty knows about it, you and I will only be guilty of dereliction of duty, and it will only be a fine for several months." Cao Jie smiled.

"It's a human being who grows old." Zhang Rang secretly scolded in his heart, but he still echoed and said, "What Cao Changqiu said is reasonable, let it be followed."

"Cao Changqiu, Shuo can't agree to this matter."

I didn't want to Jian Shuo, but I suddenly opened my mouth and vetoed it.

Cao Jie, who originally thought that the big thing had been decided, narrowed his eyes, "What does the Yellow Gate mean? Do you want to give up our people and seek glory alone?"

Zhang Rang's face is also gloomy, he has always had grievances with Jian Shuo, but it is only a personal grievance, now what Cao Jie said is a major matter related to all eunuchs, if Jian Shuo dares to make a hindrance from it, then don't blame him for being ruthless.

"The reason for this is inconvenient to elaborate. It's just that I can't agree to it."

Jian Shuo bowed and walked away quickly.

Cao Jie and Zhang Rang glanced at each other.

Zhang Rang smiled: "Cao Changqiu, do you know what Jian Shuo means?"

Cao Jie, who looked up at Jian Shuo's departing back, just smiled, "In this way, Jian Huangmen is really His Majesty's lackey."
