Chapter 852: An Unexpected Gamble
Chess players have a transcendent position in Dongying, but there is also a considerable risk of competition.
The chess player representing Dongying suffered a defeat in Datang, and the news came back, which has caused a lot of turmoil among the people.
Bai Song is not a native of Dongying, no longer walks around the people, and does not know much about the news of the people.
Bai Song's old apprentice Mu Zhi was also a man of the year in Dongying, and he was a respected old gentleman, in his early years, in order to cater to his high-spirited and bright personality, he had no urgent savings, and his life was very poor.
So much so that now he is injured and has no money for treatment.
And the people who used to pursue and respect him have completely changed their attitudes because of this failure, and no one wants to have a relationship with such a loser.
Mu Zhi's small courtyard was very deserted, and there was no one in it.
"This is it."
Xiao Kui took Bai Song to the front of the house, Bai Song saw Mu Zhi's home, it was indeed smaller, only one thatched house could be seen inside, two rooms, but full of green bamboo, there was a cherry blossom tree in the northwest of the center of the yard, and there was a chessboard under the cherry tree.
"Grandpa." Xiao Kui shouted in Dongying dialect.
There was a deep response from inside.
Then Xiaokui said in Chinese: "Grandpa, Bai Gongzi has come to visit." ”
"Bai Gongzi...... Is it Master? ”
The voice inside was weak, and it seemed that it was really hurt.
Bai Song didn't stay, he pushed the door directly and entered, on the wooden bed in the thatched house, Mu Zhi was lying on the bed and couldn't move, and Bai Song, who saw it, tried hard to get up.
Bai Song stepped forward: "You are injured, just lie on your stomach honestly." ”
"Master, it's really rude for the apprentice to be injured."
Saying that, Mu Zhi looked at his granddaughter: "Xiaokui, how did you and Master get together?" ”
Xiao Aoi lowered her head, as if she couldn't speak.
Bai Song asked solemnly, "You don't know that your granddaughter went to the art museum?" ”
When Mu Zhi heard this, he looked at the two of them meaningfully.
"I went to the art gallery and saw Xiaokui, so I brought her back."
"Take Aoi out of the art house?" Mu Zhi was a little surprised.
"Don't worry, don't forget who I am, it's just a woman who took away from the art house, they don't dare to say anything. In the future, you don't have to let Xiaokui go to the art house, I will find a way to spend your life. But it's your wounds, I'll show you. ”
Bai Song wanted to check Mu Zhi's injuries, but the other party was still explaining to Bai Song: "Master, this is the punishment given to us by the Chess Academy, and we can't leave without permission." ”
"Punish a fart? What are the rules of your chess academy? If you lose the chess, you have to sell people to the art house? If that's the case? If I win the Dongying Chess Saint, won't he commit suicide by seppuku? ”
Bai Song said indignantly, ignoring Mu Zhi's words and lifting his clothes.
Mu Zhi is very old, he was beaten to the point that his skin was broken, it is a miracle that he can survive until now, if Bai Song hadn't arrived in time, I am afraid that this old man will not live for three days.
Bai Song stopped talking nonsense, took out his small medicine box and began to treat the old apprentice.
Xiaokui was a little uneasy, and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Bai, is this really okay?" I asked many doctors, and they all said that my grandfather's injuries were too serious to be treated. ”
Bai Rou, who stood on the side and had not spoken, said confidently: "Don't worry, my brother's medical skills are unparalleled in the world, whether it is in Dongying or Datang, no one can compare with him." ”
After speaking, Xiao Kui and Bai Rou both came out of the grass house, and Bai Song stayed inside to continue the treatment.
As the minutes passed, Aoi became more and more worried.
She took her grandfather to visit many medical centers, and she knew how serious his injuries were.
Bai Rou comforted her many times on the side, and what she said was the same as before, but before there was no result, Xiao Kui was always unconfident.
After half an hour, there was no result from inside the thatched hut, but a group of people came from outside the courtyard.
Seeing someone outside, Xiao Kui's face changed instantly.
A group of people saw Xiao Kui and rushed directly to the courtyard and shouted loudly.
Bai Rou couldn't understand Dongying's words, so she could only ask Xiaokui.
At this moment, someone had come over and wanted to catch Xiao Kui, but Xiao Kui was so frightened that she stayed in place, stunned and did not move.
Bai Rou reacted quickly and immediately shouted: "Brother! Elder brother! Someone is going to catch Aoi! ”
Bai Song didn't come out, but Ah Da fell from the sky, and one person instantly stopped in front of a few people, and he didn't make a sword, but just one person's momentum stopped a few people.
Three of them were Toei samurai, but the samurai in Kyoto were not carefully selected masters from the Toei Mission.
These samurai were very ordinary, and they seemed to feel the dangerous aura on Ah Da's body, and they were so shocked that they didn't dare to step forward.
Next is the conversation between Xiaokui and a few Dongying people, and Ah Da and Bai Rou don't understand it at all.
What happened outside, Bai Song already knew inside, it was the old apprentice who told Bai Song that it was someone from the Chess Academy who came, because Xiao Kui left the art hall without authorization and did not follow the punishment of the Chess Academy, and wanted to arrest Xiao Kui.
Bai Song thought it was ridiculous, obviously he had already removed people from the chess academy, why did he care about the east and the west?
A chess academy, just a place to play chess, is actually like a cult.
Mu Zhi's injuries had been dealt with, Bai Song came out of the grass hut, couldn't help but speak, and spoke directly: "Since you are a member of the chess academy, why don't you play a game of chess with me here and bet on your dignity as a chess player!" ”
Bai Song's words broke the argument between the two sides in the courtyard, and a pair of curious eyes fell on Bai Song.
Bai Song pointed at Xiaokui: "Translate for them, just say that I am a chess player who came to Dongying to ask for advice on behalf of the Tang Dynasty, and my goal is very simple, that is, to play in the Dongying chess world very early!" ”
Xiao Kui was stunned, a little shocked.
Bai Song reminded here: "Translate for them." ”
Xiao Kui hesitated slightly, and finally opened her mouth to translate.
Several Dongying people were quiet after hearing this, perhaps Xiaokui's translation was not in place, and the two Dongying chess players in the team directly pointed to the chessboard in the courtyard and were about to play chess for Bai Song.
They didn't know that this chess player representing the Tang Dynasty was the candidate to sweep the five chess players in Dongying.
And these two people can't even get down to Mu Zhi, can they end up well in the hands of Bai Song?
Before playing chess, Bai Song asked: "Since it is a competition between the two chess players, it represents the face of the two chess players, and it can't be without a little color." Let's put it this way, if I lose, I respect your traditions, and I kill myself. If you lose, what is the punishment? ”
When the two chess players heard this, they subconsciously thought that they had to commit suicide by cutting their stomachs, and they were a little weak at the moment.
Who is not afraid of death, isn't it?
Seeing this, Bai Song smiled and said: "I don't want you to cut your stomach, as long as you strip off your clothes and write the words 'Sick Man of East Asia' on your back, and run around Kyoto." I'm not asking too much, am I? ”
