After Li Zhiyun came back from the Guitang Annex, he slept beautifully and had a sweet dream. After breakfast, he was practicing calligraphy in the room, Wei Xiaobao walked in and said to him, "Brother Li, can you play a game?" ”

All right! He was also tired of writing, just to relax. So, he set up a chessboard on the desk, and the two sat opposite each other.

Li Zhiyun asked Wei Xiaobao to take the white first, and when it was his turn, he put the sunspot on a corner.

Wei Xiaobao glanced at him in surprise, but there was no squeak. In the next three moves, Li Zhiyun placed the chess pieces on the four corners.

Wei Xiaobao couldn't help but speak: "Brother Li, is this to make my fourth son?" Li Zhiyun smiled and said, "Let's see how it ends?" ”

Before the Tang Dynasty, Go was the entertainment of the court and the upper bureaucracy, and few people participated. From the Song Dynasty onwards, the theory of Go has developed greatly. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, Go gradually became a folk activity, giving rise to many schools, and the theory and practice were greatly improved. In modern times, the skills of chess players are incomparable to those of ancient chess players.

In his previous life, Li Zhiyun studied Go in college. Later, when he joined the work, as long as the unit held a Go competition, he could basically win the championship.

The two of them went down to one hundred and fifty-six hands, and Wei Xiaobao's situation was obviously at a disadvantage, so he had to throw in and admit defeat. He exclaimed: "I didn't expect Brother Li's chess skills to be so good that he could play against the national players." ”

The two stood up and moved their bodies, and Wei Xiaobao said, "Brother Li, is it possible that you have affection for Miss Liu?" ”

"What do you think?"

"Brother Li has a good eye." Wei Xiaobao said, "Miss Liu is still beautiful, beautiful, smart and virtuous, knowledgeable, there are few women in the entire Chang'an City who can compare with her, how many sons of high-ranking officials and nobles admire and pursue." Only a son like Brother Li, who has a prominent family background and outstanding talent, and is handsome and elegant, can match him......"

Wow! The level of the ancients was not low!! After this sycophant, Li Zhiyun only felt soft and fluttering, not to mention how comfortable he was!

Come and don't be rude! Wei Xiaobao praised him so much, he also had to praise the other party a few words, didn't he? So, he said solemnly: "Brother Wei, Er Zhen still has a unique eye, a giant eye to recognize people, and knows that I, Li Zhiyun, am outstanding and different!" ……”

In the backyard of the Guitang Annex, Liu Yinglian sat in the pavilion reading a book, and two maids were waiting. Liu Hong walked over with a piece of paper in his hand, sat down opposite, put the paper on the stone table and said, "This is what he wrote for you?" ”

Liu Yinglian's face turned red, and she hurriedly changed the topic and said, "How does my father think this poem is written?" ”

"The poem is well written. …… This Li Gongzi seems to have a soft spot for you. Li Yuan is about to hit Chang'an City, if he ......"

"Father!" Liu Yinglian interrupted, "I'm two years older than him. ”

Liu Hong shook his head and said: "No, this Li Gongzi is young and old, and he is well-versed in the world, which is beyond his actual age." …… The world of the Great Sui is almost over, if Li Yuan ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, he will be a prince. If you become the queen, the glory and wealth of our Liu family can be guaranteed. It's a pity that I don't have any children yet......"

"Father, isn't my aunt pregnant? Why should you worry? ”

"Who knows how to give birth to a boy or a girl?" Liu Hong said with a bitter face, "No, I went to the Buddha Hall to pray to God." With that, he got up and hurried away......

The next day, Li Zhiyun was practicing calligraphy in the room, and Wei Yijie hurriedly walked in, panicking: "Li Gongzi, the big thing is not good!" You've been denounced, and the officers and soldiers are coming to arrest you! ”

When Li Zhiyun heard this, he was taken aback, and quickly threw off the brush, stood up and asked, "Master Wei, what's the matter?" ”

Wei Yijie took a few breaths and said, "The officers and troops sent by the Yin World Division have already reached the halfway point, and I have just received the news, so I will come back and inform you quickly." You need to get out of here! ”

"Leave? So where do I go? Li Zhiyun was embarrassed. He wanted to go over to find Liu Yinglian, but this idea was vetoed by him in a flash: the Guitang Annex was only two or three miles away from here, and the officials and soldiers would soon find him. Besides, he can't even affect Miss Liu.

"Go find your third sister."

"My third sister?"

"Yes, that is, Mrs. Chai Shao," Wei Yijie said, "She has set up a team in her hometown, there are more than 10,000 people, known as the 'Women's Army', and they have occupied the county seat of Juxian, you go to Juxian quickly!" ”

Wow!! Li Zhiyun was dumbfounded: he still has such a powerful sister??!!

"I'm ready for the carriage, let's go!" Wei Yijie said and pulled him out of the room. The two hurried out of the annex and saw a carriage parked in front of the gate.

Li Zhiyun got into the carriage, and before he could wave goodbye to Wei Yijie, the coachman flicked his whip and the carriage drove away in a hurry......

More than an hour later, the carriage drove to the county seat of Juxian County. The coachman left Li Zhiyun under the city gate, then turned his horse's head and went back.

The county seat of Juxian County, he and Liu Yinglian came last time. When I came back this time, I found that it had changed a lot. There were more than a dozen guards in front of the city gate, all dressed as civilians, both men and women. They wore red turbans, swords and spears in their hands, and there was a red flag on the battlements.

Wow! "Red Detachment of Women"?! If it weren't for the fact that these people were all wearing ancient costumes, Li Zhiyun would have thought that he had traveled to modern times again.

Li Zhiyun walked up to him, and a volunteer soldier asked, "Hey, what are you doing?" ”

"Go to the city and find my third sister."

"Looking for your third sister? Who is your third sister? ”

"She's your leader...... No, it's your leader! Li Zhiyun said proudly.

"Mrs. Chai?" The man looked him up and down, "Really?" At this time, a volunteer next to him interjected: "Whether it's true or not, he's still a child, not like a spy of the official army, let him in!" ”

So, the man waved his hand and said, "Go in!" Let's go inside! ”

Li Zhiyun didn't thank him, held his head high, and swaggered into the county seat.

He had not gone far when he noticed that the people next to him had suddenly started running, and several children were shouting as they ran: "Go see the beheading!" ……”

Whose head is cut off? Li Zhiyun was curious, so he ran with everyone. In front of it is the East Market, and a vacant lot is densely surrounded by many people, all of whom are there to watch the excitement.

Li Zhiyun got into the gap between the people, and saw a wooden platform in the middle of the crowd, about a foot high, with five or six people standing on it. One of the prisoners was tied up with flowers, and next to him stood a swordsman with a red scarf on his head, his chest and abdomen, and a ghost-headed broadsword.

Li Zhiyun took a closer look at the prisoner and couldn't help but be surprised: Isn't this Fang Xuanling?

Someone put Fang Xuanling down and pressed his head on a log stake. The executioner raised his sword, and he was about to cut it down......

"Stop!" Li Zhiyun rushed out desperately, and ran onto the wooden platform with a few arrows. The executioner was stunned, but the knife did not go down. Li Zhiyun ran forward and pushed him away, shouting, "You can't cut off his head!" ”

At this moment, a man who looked like a leader walked over. The man was dressed as a peasant, dark and stout, with a large knife at his waist, and a terrible scar on his face, which stretched from his forehead to the corner of his right eye, which was obviously slashed by a knife.

Scarface glared at a pair of bull's eyes and said, "What kind of mess?" What do you do? ”

"I am the younger brother of your leader, and my name is Li Zhiyun." He held his head up proudly.

"! What is the leader's younger brother, Lao Tzu looks at you like a spy of the official army! Scarface shouted, "Tie me up and chop it all together!" ”

Two of his men came up and wanted to tie him up. At this time, I only heard someone in the audience shouting: "You can't tie him up, he is the fifth young master!" Li Zhiyun turned his head to look, and saw a little girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a coarse cloth gown, dressed like a maid, squeezed in from the crowd, and ran up to the wooden platform with light steps.
