Chapter 271: Evenly matched

Before this fierce battle began, Qiu Cheng asked: "Since the adults know that there must be a fierce battle at night, why don't you send their mother and daughter away first?" ”

"Let's go, where are we going?" As soon as Shen Nian reached this point, he became more calm, "The other party must be forcing them to go, and it will be more convenient to get out of this house." ”

"Your Excellency already knows who your opponent is?"

"Regardless of human life, they are all murderers." Shen Nianyi didn't bring those thirty people, those thirty would be kept until tomorrow, and when things were settled, it would be their turn to play, he only brought Qiu Cheng alone, and sat down firmly, originally, if he hadn't appeared, Granny Huo and Grandpa Leng would not have gone head-on, without a trace of timidity.

Chun Niang has been in the outer room for five years, and the best thing to learn is to observe words and looks, she hugged Xiao Ruyi over, and did not talk much, feeding the children to drink water next to her, and she was most afraid that at this time women and children would cry and make trouble, which would make people confused.

Granny Huo found a chessboard and put it in front of Shen Nianyi: "Is Lord Shen interested in accompanying me to play a game of chess?" ”

Shen Nianyi admired her for being at such an age, and she could still maintain such a mentality, so she naturally cooperated: "I haven't played chess for a few days, I'm afraid I'm rusty." ”

Granny Huo couldn't help but say, took the chess pieces in the jar, staggered black and white, and landed at the right point: "This chess game is called contouring, I saw people in the mountains when I was young, and I don't know why I remembered it all at once, decades have passed, the old man has never liked to play chess, and if he has no good opponent, he will throw it in a corner, and today he will be ugly in front of Lord Shen." ”

Shen Nian glanced at it one by one, and felt that on the chessboard, dozens of chess pieces, vertical and horizontal, staggered, fixed eyes and looked, it was like endless ripples, people couldn't open their eyes, knowing that it was a rare good game, when he was learning art, he and his master also often played chess, master's chess skills were exquisite, but the chess products were miserable, not at all like the mentality that should be at that age, he could only win, not lose.

He was young and vigorous, and he was not willing to deliberately lose chess every time, and later, he gradually figured out the master's path and controlled the ending, at least seven or eight of the ten games of chess were draws, and the rest, but lost one and a half sons, the master knew it, and he did not expose it, and he was happy to be the general who always wins.

It wasn't until later, when he returned to the city, that a colleague talked about playing chess, he deduced that his chess skills were not perfect, and the other party had to put out the chessboard, dozens of steps, Shen Nian's side realized the master's good intentions, he had practice makes perfect, and he had all the wins and losses of each other under control, that is, he wanted to win one son, or lose half of the son, and the other party decided not to see the slightest clue.

When he sat opposite the emperor one day and drank a cup of tea with the emperor, the emperor said with a smile: "How is Shen Aiqing's chess skills, it is better to accompany me to play a game of chess." ”

Shen Nianyi remembered very well that on that day, he lost a half-in-a-row, and the emperor stroked his palm and said with a smile: "It turns out that I and Aiqing are evenly matched, very good, very good, I finally meet the opponent in chess, and I don't have to play a mess of chess with those who are afraid and cowering, and every time I play a mess." ”

He stood with his hands down, but he couldn't say anything, and it was also at that moment that he knew that his master had taught him much more than martial arts.

Granny Huo has already made the first move, waiting for Shen Nianyi with a smile, Shen Nian looked at the chessboard and quickly fell, Granny Huo didn't speak, there was a little appreciation in her eyes, she played chess very fast, almost didn't have to think about it, although she occasionally made mistakes, but this momentum of pressing step by step brought a lot of pressure to the family.

However, the person she met was Shen Nianyi, his movements seemed to be unhurried, and no step was left behind, gradually, he had already occupied most of the chessboard, and the fire lady still remained the same, did not stop thinking about it, still a son, and ended up sonorous and powerful.

Qiu Cheng was attracted by the tension on the chessboard, and even Grandpa Leng secretly glanced at it several times, the room was quieter, only the sound of chess pieces falling, crisp, as if spring rain drops falling on the eaves, tinkling.

Seeing that, Shen Nian walked conservatively one step at a time, Granny Huo seized the opportunity, between three steps, swallowed up the lower left corner, Shen Nian raised her eyes and smiled, there was also a kind of praise in her smile, Granny Huo was proud, she actually carelessly fell into the wrong place, and she wanted to say that she wanted to change the chess path, but she was afraid that she would laugh at her family and had no regrets, one hand hung in the air, it was not put down, and it was not taken back.

Shen Nianyi was still holding the chess pieces in his hand, but he didn't fall either, this kind of stalemate was in just three breaths, his wrist turned, and the chess pieces tore open a blast of wind, shot straight out, piercing the window paper, the strength did not weaken by half a minute, only a muffled snort was heard, it was clearly hit on the body of the infiltrator, and it was extremely accurate.

He was not the only one who noticed it, Qiu Cheng had already retreated to the window, and the two of them were even more attentive, one guarded the door, and the other signaled Chunniang to pick up Xiao Ruyi and hide under the table first.

The child has sugar, can eat hard, where is there leisure to take care of the rest, Chun Niang's hands are even more gentle half hug and half hug, hugging Xiao Ruyi in her chest, the expression on her face is calm, without the slightest fear, five years of time, has made her extremely numb, numb not afraid of life and death.

Shen Nian stood in the middle of the room without a weapon in one hand, standing tall and straight, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, cold and calm, and the style of a general.

A chess piece seemed to stir up a thousand waves, and there was silence for a moment outside, for a short time, and then the murderous aura flooded with the sound of noise, and the room where they were sitting seemed to have become a small boat on the cusp of the storm, crumbling, not very peaceful.

Shen Nianyi's right hand struck the chessboard, all the chess pieces jumped up, and his palms drew two arcs in mid-air, and the chess pieces were engulfed by the invisible air current, staying within the range that could be controlled by both hands, none of them would fall to the ground, he shouted softly, go! Dozens of chess pieces, black, white and white, shot at different angles, half of which pierced the roof, and the other half came out of two windows.

I can hear a series of falls, screams, and disrupted footsteps, the number is quite a lot, Shen Nianyi roughly listened, in this huge mansion, there are at least fifty or sixty people, and the martial arts are not low, his first move is not to really hurt people, but to get the accurate number.

While he was thinking, he was secretly frightened, if he didn't show up, the two of them would really be able to deal with it, or maybe they would be more daring than he thought.

There was a sharp light outside the window, and then the smoke billowed in the room, and someone took the opportunity to throw a pine branch torch soaked in fire oil, tied tightly, enough to be the thickness of an adult's arm, and Shen Nian consciously wanted to drag out the Chunniang mother and daughter sitting under the table first, this kind of smoke is too easy to hurt the child.

Over there, the fire lady suddenly screamed, the sound seemed to be the crow squatting in the treetops, the noise before flying, and then turned her hands back, and pulled out two shiny long knives from under her skirt.

Shen Nian looked at the archives of the two of them, and naturally knew very well their martial arts foundation, when Granny Huo was young, she was even good at using a twelve-chain golden knife that was more than a foot taller than a person, and the weapon was often enough to deter the opponent, these two long knives were changed after the age of fifty, and as she got older, her natural brute strength would slowly decrease, she knew how to use her strengths and avoid her weaknesses, although she still took the path of fierce attack, but she left herself three points of leeway.

Seeing that she kicked up with both feet, the whole person had jumped out of the window, and it seemed that she was ready to kill tonight, Grandpa Leng raised his head and looked at the roof, and smiled softly: "The fish that slipped through the net." ”

With his left hand raised, he couldn't see what the silver shimmered was, it had been cast out like a wide fishing net, and there was a series of falls on the roof.

Shen Nianyi's eyesight was just enough to see that Grandpa Leng had a half-foot-long silver thread needle between his fingers, because although it was a hidden weapon like a steel needle, it was as thin as a silk thread, so it had this name, and there were many people in the rivers and lakes who used silver threads, but most of them were sneaky young people, and they could only do it when others were not careful.

The fulcrum of the silver thread needle is too small, it is not easy to be forced, and it is not easy to hurt the enemy, like this, it is easy to shoot the target, and it can also hit the hand strength hard, Shen Nian couldn't help but take another look.

"When you are old and your strength is not enough, you can only hurt people, not kill people." Grandpa Leng flipped his hands, and he didn't see where he took out the hidden weapon, and the silver thread needles in his fingers were rearranged neatly, and the silver was dangling.

"Take the two of them out." Shen Nianyi's hand grabbed Chun Niang's shoulders and lifted her up, and the other hand was Xiao Ruyi, the smoke in the house had choked people, he carried one in one hand, and still broke through the glazed tiles on the roof, and the worries on the roof had been cleaned up, and the top had become the safest place.

However, Chun Niang and Xiao Ruyi's legs and feet are weak, where can they settle on the slippery glazed tiles, Shen Nianyi always carries the two of them, and there is no third hand that comes out of the air, Qiu Cheng has a tacit understanding, and he also jumps out of the roof, keeping a back-to-back posture with him, even if someone attacks at this moment, it will not pose too much threat.

"Lord Shen, over there, put us over there!" Chun Niang was not afraid of danger, and pointed to the chimney over there, a small square piece of land, just enough to sit on people.

"It's high up here, you can't land on your feet yet, can you sit with your balance?" Shen Nianyi's feet seemed to be gliding on the water, very steady, sending the mother and daughter over.

"A person can sit dry in the room for five years, and he doesn't have other skills, and he still has some sitting skills." Chun Niang still has this idle self-deprecation.

Shen Nianyi suddenly relieved his heart, put her first, and then put Xiao Ruyi in her arms: "Let's solve it as soon as possible, don't let the child be frightened." ”
