"I lost."

Guo Jia threw away the chess pieces in his hand and shook his head to admit defeat.

"Guo Junshi, you can't do this, work harder."

Zhou Cang looked at Guo Jia with blank eyes,

He is still waiting to go to Huaxiong Mansion to eat.

"I'm not even the opponent of the lord in Go, let alone this chess."

Guo Jia shook his head and said helplessly,

"In that case, Feng Xiao, I will play a game with the lord."

Li Ru twisted his beard and said a little unwillingly.

Like Zhou Cang, he is looking forward to tasting Huaxiong's craftsmanship again.

"Good guy, are you still planning to come to the wheel war?

Okay, no matter who of you comes, as long as you can win me, I'll treat you to dinner for three days! ”

Hua Xiong made bold statements.

Guo Jia stood up, and Li Ru sat down again.

The two started the game again.

Although Li Ru's level of Go is not as good as Guo Jia.

But Xiangqi's chess skills are much better than Guo Jia's.

Hindsight, double car mistakes, all kinds of killer moves followed.

Hua Xiong responded calmly.

The two of them are inseparable from each other.

It is true that Li Ru's level is very high, but in the end, it was a draw.

"How can this chess game be drawn?"

Zhou Cang was dumbfounded.

"Why can't you draw it?"

Hua Xiong smiled,

"The reason why there is a draw in chess is because Confucius once said that peace is precious.

Take a step back and open the sky.

Be a man and leave a line, and see each other in the future, understand? ”

"Since there is a peace, my lord, can we still go to your mansion?"

Li Ru asked.

"Of course not. I'm talking about winning me, so I can invite you to eat for three days. ”

Hua Xiong said with a smile.

"Alright, let's have another game!"

Li Ru's heart was horizontal and continued to play chess with Hua Xiong.

However, Hua Xiong already has a preliminary understanding of Li Ru's strength and style.

He didn't give Li Ru too much chance this time, three strikes and five divided by two, and directly checkmate Li Ru to death.

Seeing this scene, Guo Jia next to him couldn't help but sigh,

"The lord is simply a monster.

Go is so strong that it can invent chess.

The most outrageous thing is that chess is still played so well. ”

"Bonghyo, your current sycophants are getting better and better. Go on, I love it. ”

Hua Xiong laughed.

Zhou Cang said sullenly,

"Lord, can't you just let the water go and let us go to eat?"

"It's not my character to release water."

Hua Xiong shook his head and said,

"Well, then, you can call them all.

As long as someone can win me, I will fulfill the promise. ”

"Is that true?"

"Seriously!"

As soon as Zhou Cang heard this, he immediately stood up and walked out of the room.

It didn't take long for Gao Shun, Xu Huang, Jia Xu and others to be called over by Zhou Cang.

Zhang Liao, Ma Chao and others all went to other places to take up their posts.

And Gao Shun and they are guarding Luoyang, plus there are no major events recently, and they are all relatively idle.

As soon as they heard that Hua Xiong had invented a new board game, and that he could still eat if he won, they rushed over one by one with a scream.

Guo Jia explained the rules of chess to them.

After listening, everyone's eyes lit up.

I not only think this chess is interesting, but also think that it implies so many philosophical truths, which is simply rare.

"Which of you comes first?"

Hua Xiong glanced at them.

"I'll come first!"

Xu Huang was the first to stand up.

But not surprisingly, he also lost directly.

followed by Gao Shun, Jia Xu, and Jiang Wei......

Nor are they opponents.

Seeing that the sky was darkening, Hua Xiong yawned.

"Let's get here today, I have to go back and rest."

"That's not going to work, my lord, give us another chance."

Zhou Cang sneered.

"yes, give us another chance."

"I've already figured out the killer move."

Hua Xiong looked at them amusedly,

"Since you say so, then I reluctantly agree.

But this time I'm going to join all of you at the same time, but don't say I didn't give you a chance! ”

When everyone heard this, they were immediately happy and angry.

Happily, if Hua Xiong plays at the same time, he will definitely be distracted, and there will be an opportunity to take advantage of it when the time comes.

Angry, Hua Xiong didn't even take them seriously.

"We'll have to work harder later!"

"That's right, let the lord cook something for us."

The crowd cheered each other on.

Fortunately, in order to promote chess, Hua Xiong ordered the carpenter to make a number of chess.

So Hua Xiong was in the lobby, playing chess at the same time with the strategists and generals present!

Such a move can be said to be an extreme test of Huaxiong's level.

But fortunately, except for Guo Jia, Li Ru, and Jia Xu, the chess skills of others are not very good.

Hua Xiong defeated them with ease, and then began a bitter battle with the three military divisions.

After a series of battles, Hua Xiong finally lost to Jia Xu after defeating Guo Jia and Li Ru because he was too distracted.

"I lost."

Hua Xiong shook his head.

The crowd next to him immediately cheered.

"It's not easy to see the lord lose."

Li Ru sighed.

"Yes, whether it's a battlefield, a competition, or a game of chess.

This is the first time I've seen the Lord admit defeat. ”

Gao Shun had a feeling of crying with joy.

"Look at your little bit of talent, if I lose once, you'll be the same as the New Year."

Hua Xiong feigned anger.

Everyone touched their heads in embarrassment.

"My lord, you misunderstood. In fact, what we are looking forward to more is to go to your house to eat. ”

Guo Jia laughed.

"Okay, then I'll satisfy you. Let's eat hot pot today! ”

Hearing Hua Xiong say the word hot pot in his mouth, Zhou Cang's saliva almost flowed out.

"Hot pot is good!"

"On such a cold day, it is absolutely comfortable to eat hot pot!"

The others nodded in agreement.

But Jia Xu hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but say,

"Lord, if you eat hot pot, there are no fresh vegetables.

Could it be that we all only eat meat? ”

Everyone was stunned.

Yes, on such a cold day, there are no fresh vegetables.

If you eat hot pot and only eat meat, it will feel much worse.

"Haha, isn't it just fresh vegetables, that's easy to say."

Hua Xiong laughed.

……

Everyone followed Hua Xiong and came to the Taishi Mansion.

Hua Xiong ordered people to prepare things, and after a while, all kinds of ingredients were served to the table one after another.

Everyone looked at it, and in addition to meat, there were vegetables such as Chinese cabbage and winter melon.

Looking at the vegetable leaves with water droplets, everyone's eyes widened.

"Lord, could it be that these vegetables are freshly picked?"

Guo Jia couldn't help but ask.

"Not bad."

Hua Xiong nodded.

"How can there be such fresh vegetables in this cold winter?"

Jia Xu even suspected that his ears had heard it wrong.

Li Ru pondered for a moment and said softly,

"Could this be planted in the Taiguan Garden?"

Seeing the blank expressions on the faces of the others, Li Ru explained.

The Taiguan Garden is equivalent to a special vegetable supply base, and the vegetables grown in it are all provided to the royal family to enjoy.

As early as the period of Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty in the Western Han Dynasty, Taiguanyuan increased the indoor temperature through the fire channel, so as to eat out-of-season vegetables.
