Chapter 008: Don't you feel condescending
After Zeng Qingfeng left the pharmacy, he walked to another destination.
In the northwest of Chang'an City, this side is located in a remote area, and it is where many ordinary people in the city live.
Under the big trees in a small square, several old men were playing chess.
Zeng Qingfeng walked to the side of a few people, looked at it a few times, and then pointed at the chessboard.
Such a move of course caused the dissatisfaction of several old men, who accused him one after another.
The so-called chess watching is silent, what a true gentleman!
This guy simply doesn't have eyesight!
Zeng Qingfeng just grinned, looked at a white-bearded old man and said:
"It's better to do this, let's come to the next game, if I lose, I can pay a thousand taels of gold, if you lose, I want something on you, how about it?"
The white-bearded old man didn't have a good impression of Zeng Qingfeng, and he didn't think he would lose, so when he heard his bet, he said happily:
"Okay, I'll bet with you! I'd like to see what you have to guide us! ”
The reason why I don't doubt whether Zeng Qingfeng can come up with a thousand taels of gold is because his clothes look like they are either rich or expensive.
"Come on!"
Zeng Qingfeng was amused in his heart, the old man in front of him was named Chang Rongsheng, and his chess skills were very good.
For twenty years, he had to play chess with this old fellow every day.
From the beginning, there was no power to fight back, to the later back and forth, and then Chang Rongsheng had no power to fight back.
It can be said that Zeng Qingfeng's chess skills are largely exercised by the old man in front of him.
And the identity of this old man is also interesting, and he may be able to use it when the time comes...
His purpose in looking for Chang Rongsheng today was just to ask for something on his body--- Cold Ice Arrow Grass.
The chess game soon began, and Zeng Qingfeng said very confidently:
"Old man Chang, you go first!"
"Hmph, you're very confident!"
Chang Rongsheng was a little angry, playing chess here, he has always let others take the lead, and some people even let a few pieces.
But Zeng Qingfeng let him take the lead as soon as he came, which seemed to him to be somewhat arrogant.
"Hehe, don't be embarrassed, old man Chang, if you can't do it, I'll let you have three more sons."
"How can it be!"
Chang Rong was so angry that his beard flew up, he gritted his teeth and said:
"Okay, I'll do it first!"
After he finished speaking, he quickly fell a son.
Zeng Qingfeng followed without hesitation, and the two soon came and went.
The people around wanted to see when Zeng Qingfeng lost, but they were all surprised when they looked at it.
And Chang Rongsheng's speed became slower and slower, and cold sweat gradually broke out on his forehead.
The onlookers also saw that Zeng Qingfeng was not a pure braggadocio, he had real skills!
Chang Rongsheng's face slowly became solemn, and he had to think for a long time for every step, but Zeng Qingfeng still didn't pause, as long as he fell, he would follow.
After two sticks of incense, Chang Rongsheng said with a dry throat:
"I... Lost! ”
The onlookers' chess skills were not as good as the two of them, and some people asked puzzledly:
"Chang, you haven't finished yet? How did you lose? ”
"That's right, keep going, this kid may not be able to win you!"
"There's still a chance... Right? ”
“...”
Chang Rongsheng's face turned red, and he stood up for a while before he said to Zeng Qingfeng:
"Your Excellency's chess skills are really the only ones I have ever seen in my life! In vain, I have always been arrogant, I think that my chess skills are invincible in the world, and it is a great blessing to meet Your Excellency today! ”
"Old man Chang has won the prize, and I'm just lucky!"
Zeng Qingfeng said modestly, and then continued to ask:
"Old man Chang, do you need to win two out of three games?"
"With the chess skills you have shown, it will be the same for ten more endings!" Chang Rongsheng said a little bitterly, and continued:
"Since I have already admitted defeat, I naturally will not repay my debts, what do you want from Chang?"
"Well said!"
Zeng Qingfeng's lips moved slightly, and he sent a message to Chang Rongsheng.
Chang Rongsheng's face changed when he heard this, and he quickly smiled bitterly:
"I didn't expect that Your Excellency not only has superb chess skills, but also unfathomable strength, and you can know that I have such a thing... That's it! Your Excellency, please come with me to sit at home for a while! ”
After he finished speaking, he walked out of the crowd, and when the onlookers saw the two leaving, they all looked at the two of them that had not finished playing.
With their level, they couldn't see where Chang Rongsheng had lost at all, why he had admitted defeat so quickly.
Chang Rongsheng led Zeng Qingfeng to the door of a somewhat dilapidated small tile house, then turned around and said:
"Your Excellency is so young, not only is your strength outstanding, but your chess skills are also the best in the world, you are simply a dragon and phoenix among people! The most incomprehensible thing for Chang is that you actually know that I have Ice Arrow Grass on me! What is your identity? ”
"Old man Chang doesn't need to panic, in Xia Zeng Qingfeng, his current identity is the female emperor's husband."
"What? Emperor? ”
Chang Rongsheng's face changed, and then he smiled bitterly:
"The empress has a husband like you, why worry about the Tang Dynasty not prospering? Wait a minute, Emperor, I'll give you the Ice Arrow Grass! ”
After he finished speaking, he walked into the house, and after a while, he walked out, holding a long box in his hand and handed it to Zeng Qingfeng, who immediately put it into the system package.
"Emperor, this is what you want! Originally, I invited you to my home, but I wanted to continue to ask for advice for a few more rounds. But your status is noble, and the grass people will not dare to disturb..."
"What did Old Man Chang say? I'm coming, won't you invite me to some tea? It's rare to meet someone who can play against me, and you don't drink with me and continue to kill a few rounds! ”
Hearing Zeng Qingfeng's words, and looking at him with a sincere face, Chang Rongsheng said with some excitement:
"If the emperor doesn't dislike it, of course the grass people are willing to sweep the couch to greet him!"
"What's there to dislike? I know that you always have a jar of treasured old wine, do you want to take it out for me to quench my cravings? ”
Zeng Qingfeng laughed, and these words made Chang Rongsheng smile bitterly again:
"The emperor is like a god, it seems that I don't have any secrets in front of you at all! Emperor, please, I'm going to dig out my treasured old wine! ”
"Okay, you've broken the bank! There are no outsiders here, don't call yourself a grass people, just call me Zeng Gongzi. ”
"It's... All right! Zeng Gongzi please, I'll come when I go. ”
Zeng Qingfeng waved his hand, and then walked into the house by himself.
Chang Rongsheng's house is very familiar to him, and he used to come almost every day to hone his chess skills.
In the past, he kept repeating it every day, so he developed a habit: no matter how much he talked to someone, once he decided to change the target, he would use some special means to ask for any secrets.
This practice also made him find that many people who are good at disguise, after being coerced, lured, and tortured by him, they would confess when they urinated in bed several times when they were young.
didn't stay in the house for long, Chang Rongsheng walked in with a rustic wine jar.
Seeing Zeng Qingfeng sitting at the wooden table and pouring himself a cup of tea, Chang Rongsheng felt that this emperor really didn't have the slightest shelf.
He put the wine on the table, then opened the seal with a 'snap', and said in his mouth:
"The emperor is here today, grass people... The old decay is really flattered! The only thing that can be done is this old wine, so let's talk to the emperor today! ”
"Well said!"
Zeng Qingfeng nodded slightly, and after Chang Rongsheng took out two wine bowls and filled them, he smelled the aroma of wine and did not rush to drink, but said very casually:
"Lao Chang, don't you feel condescending when you stay here?"
