Chapter 300: A Game of Chess in the Alleys
Both of them are working steadily, and as more and more children fall, the situation of step-by-step camping becomes more and more entrenched, so that a large stalemate gradually forms.
The speed of the two of them gradually slowed down.
The discerning people in the field couldn't help but wonder, didn't they want to draw secretly?
From the perspective of a bystander, this game of chess is really decent, because of the application of the formula, it seems that the whole chess path is a bit rigid and boring, and it is very polite to say that if it is not for the game of Gongsun Zhi, most of the onlookers will not stay too much.
But the foundation of the two sides of the hand-to-hand talks is really solid, so that the current stalemate that looks very ordinary at first glance, is still ordinary after two more glances, but there is no way to start if you want to break the situation.
So, it's a great move.
Ning Jun fiddled with his fingers and hesitated.
Let Ning Junxi look at it, this game of chess is really not interesting, it just makes him very embarrassed.
Falling one discs is counted as ten, which is the basic ability of a real chess player.
Ning Jun has been learning chess for more than two years, but he can't do this yet, and he can't control the overall situation, so he didn't deliberately pursue the draw that Li Chan said, but played steadily with those chess scores, so as not to be seen by Li Chan about his old background.
But he didn't want to be on the other side, Gongsun Zhi didn't know whether he was intentionally trying or something else, he was going the same way as him, and Gongsun Zhi's chess skills should be above him, so that Ning Junxi could only follow her path.
With Ning Junxi's deduction, it may be easier to break the situation if you forge ahead, but this method is the easiest to reveal the old bottom, and it is even more abrupt for the abandoned son to admit defeat, so he can only go forward hard, which has led to the current situation.
But this made Ning Junxi hesitate in his heart, this situation was deliberately done by Gongsun Zhi, why did he do this, and what did he want to do.
For the Gongsun family, Ning Junxi also knew about it in the library of the void cave, and belonged to the big surname in the Ying Dynasty, not the emperor's relatives, but because of the excellent style, especially Gongsun's "Big Dream Floating Life", Gongsun's outstanding achievements in the governance of the Ying Dynasty, and the status is no different from the emperor's relatives, and later the Ying Dynasty collapsed, and the Gongsun family was guilty of its crimes, and was hunted down and used, so it gradually declined, and finally disappeared, and "Big Dream Floating Life" is nowhere to be found.
Whether Luo Jing's Gongsun clan was the Gongsun clan back then, there is no clear record in the books, and Ning Jun regrets not daring to speculate, but this woman is definitely not an easy character to deal with.
Therefore, Ning Junxi was a little hesitant, whether to take the initiative or continue to be hypocritical.
Gongsun Zhi naturally saw that Ning Junxi did not use his true skills, and seeing that Ning Junxi did not fall for a long time, his chin was against the back of his hand, and he was a little resentful, "Isn't the son of a child who doesn't look down on the little woman?"
Ning Junxi tried a few positions, and finally fell, and said with a wry smile, "I am shallow in chess, and I really can't get the right measure." ”
"Childe is too modest. Gongsun Zhi groaned for a few breaths and fell behind.
Ning Junxi became more and more helpless, looked up at Li Chan, and took a deep breath.
Then, he lost his rules, one by one, and after only a few games of chess, he was messed up, and the people in the audience were stunned, and some people brushed their sleeves and left directly.
It's a pity that a good game of chess was ruined by what seemed to be a childish graffiti.
In the end, it was naturally Ning Junxi who lost very badly.
After the victory and defeat were decided, Gongsun Zhi did not speak, but bowed slightly, and went to the third floor.
The rest of the people on the second floor looked at Ning Junxi with strange expressions.
Ning Junxi pulled Li Chan downstairs directly.
On the stairs, Ning Junxi seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "I thought they were going to beat me, but it's okay." ”
Li Chan didn't have a good breath and said, "I still want to beat you." ”
"I don't think that grandson is well-intentioned. Ning Jun said seriously.
"Such a good opportunity in vain. Li Chan knocked Ning Junxi's head, and the force was not light, "Let's go, you will really be smiling and generous tomorrow." ”
Ning Junxi covered his head and muttered, "I'll leave in two days, what are you afraid of." ”
"You guy. Li Chan nodded Ning Junxi, a little helpless, and suddenly nodded again, "It's okay, keep it up." ”
After speaking, he bypassed Ning Junxi and went downstairs.
Ning Jun was inexplicable, he still didn't understand in the blink of an eye, so he simply ignored it and hurriedly trotted downstairs.
......
Three carriages were parked downstairs in Qingping.
At this time, there were seven more people of different ages and identities on the third floor of Qingping Building, and they all bowed their heads to the handsome young man on the third floor of the entire Qingping Building.
The young man, however, had a gloomy face and did not accept it, so these men continued to lean forward.
Although the young twins don't know why, they are people with excellent eyesight, bowing their heads and not saying a word, trying not to let people notice themselves.
After more than a dozen breaths of silence, the young man raised his head and glanced coldly at the seven people, and finally landed on the teacup in front of him, taking a shallow sip of tea, "Where is His Royal Highness?"
Naturally, the seven did not speak.
"What did he say at that time?" said Ten Years' voice was a little colder.
The middle-aged man with the halberd on his back said in a deep voice, "Your Highness just asked me to wait to enter the city and join the county lord, everything is as usual, and there are no other orders." ”
The young man's gaze cleared Ling Ling and cast it over, "If Yue Pan comes, how to deal with it?"
His Highness did not say. The middle-aged man's head lowered slightly.
The boy snorted, "It's not like I'm going to clean up the mess for him." ”
She suddenly became sleepy, and she waved her hand very unenergetically, "Roll on, I feel upset when I look at it." ”
The seven of them gave another salute and spread out on the third floor.
......
On the first floor of Geshuixuan, there are poets, composers, and laughers, but for Sisi, it is boring and boring.
She was originally still a little interested in Ge Shuixuan's delicate pastries, but after eating for more than an hour, she began to feel drowsy, and when she woke up, she saw that Ning Junxi and Li Chan had not come back, so she almost couldn't help but let Xiaoqing go, but fortunately, she was stopped by the frost and calmed for a while before smoothing out her hair.
When Ning Junxi and Li Chan went downstairs from upstairs, before they could take a sip of tea, Sisi had already raised her head and looked directly at the two, "Bored." ”
"Let's go. Ning Jun smiled and frowned again, "Didn't Ruthless come back?"
"No, I didn't. Frost said lightly.
Ning Jun went to see Li Chan.
Li Chan shrugged his shoulders, "Look at what I do, he is a person from the Ethereal Pavilion, not my person." ”
"That's it. Ning Jun sighed helplessly, "The frost falls, leave a message along the way, let's go." ”
Frostfall nodded in understanding, got up and followed Ning Jun and a few people away.
......
On the third floor of Geshuixuan, the melodious sound of the piano sounded again, and the tune was still elegant, as if looking up at the mountains and listening to the flowing water.
After listening to a song, Yu Zijie and the three of them said goodbye and left.
After a few breaths, a woman in a light blue dress walked out from behind the screen, looking beautiful and a little elf-like.
"I listened to my sister's song just now, and I seemed to be a little upset, but my sister has encountered something troublesome?" The woman in the light blue dress sat opposite Gongsun Zhi on the ground, folded her arms on the table, rested her chin on her arms, and tilted her head to ask.
"I met a strange young man, I thought he was a chess player, but it was in vain, and I really lost face. Gongsun Zhi put her hands on the strings, and her voice was a little girl's angry and cruel.
"There's no need to be angry with this kind of person, it's not worth it. The woman in the light blue dress touched the top of Gongsun Zhi's head, thought about it, and said, "Then I'll show you how about seeing if it's good or bad?"
"You girl, you know how to coax me. Gongsun Zhi poked the woman's head in a light blue dress with one hand, reached out and pulled out a long hair and handed it over, "Well, if it weren't for the fact that I might be involved, I wouldn't have taken the initiative to provoke him." ”
"I know, Gongsun's face is worth a lot in Luojing. The woman in the light blue dress joked, then pinched the ends of the hair with two fingers and tied a very complex knot, and then the hair glowed with a light blue fluorescence, and disappeared in an instant.
"How?" Gongsun Zhi couldn't help frowning when she saw that the woman in the light blue dress didn't look good.
"Stay away from him. The woman in the light blue dress looked more solemn, "I don't know why, but the heavens told me so." Heaven can't be wrong. ”
"Who is he?" Gongsun Zhi asked directly.
The woman in the light blue dress shook her head slightly, and suddenly became cramped, "Don't provoke him, that's all I can say." I still have something to do, so I'll leave first. Remember what I say. ”
After she finished speaking, she didn't wait for anyone to respond, and walked quickly in the direction of the back door.
Gongsun Zhi frowned slightly, was silent for a few breaths, and said in a clear voice, "Where is the second county lord of Qinglian Mountain now?"
"In Qingping Building. An old woman walked out from behind the screen, "The son of Qinglian Mountain traveled here today, and he stayed there." ”
Gongsun Zhi took a few more breaths and said lightly, "Paper and ink." ”
......
Ning Junxi and a few people stayed in an inn called Fanshe.
Fanshe is a simple three-story yellow wooden building, which belongs to the civilian inn and does not entertain people in the imperial court, because a few interesting things are famous in Qingping County.
One is that the war king Yao Lingyan lived here for three days, and the sentence in front of the door flew all over the place in April, which coincided with the return of the old man was written by him.
One is an anecdote about the white-clothed female sword fairy rolling the snow dragon with a sword.
There is also a trace of the unicorn, it is said that he once stayed on the house for tea, and then there was no trace of it, and the truth of this matter is impossible to identify.
The shopkeeper was a half-blind man who liked to joke, and his right eye was surrounded by a black silk scarf.
Because Qingping County is now overcrowded, and it happens that there are only two rooms left, the shopkeeper smiled and proposed that Li Chan and Shuang Chuan have one, and Sisi and Ning Jun cherish one, which caused a carriage of people to look at each other.
In the end, of course, there is a room for boys and a room for girls.
After a long journey of more than a month, Ning Junxi was naturally a dusty servant, and after packing up his things, he lay on his back on the bed, looking at the roof in a daze, not wanting to move anymore.
Li Chan was so interested, packed up his things, turned his head and saw Ning Junci looking like a dead dog who didn't want to move anymore, and patted Ning Junci on the shoulder, "Get up, I'll go to eat later, and I'll take you to a place after eating." ”
"Still going somewhere?" Ning Junxi was suddenly unhappy.
"There are two days left before the autumnal equinox, and you don't want to lie down for two days. Li Chan smiled and said, "Hurry up, good young man, how can you grind and chirp like a little old man." ”
Ning Junxi grinned and sat up helplessly, "Okay, okay, I'm up, but I see that Sisi eats snacks very well, will she still go?"
"You go and ask. Li Chan shrugged his shoulders lazily.
Ning Junxi rolled his eyes and didn't speak.
The four of them gathered upstairs, went downstairs together, and met the half-blind shopkeeper at the top of the stairs who was trembling and drinking water, and saw the four people say hello, "Do you want to go out?"
"Go out and walk around. Li Chan responded with a smile, "The shopkeeper has been open for most of his life, do you know what are the interesting places in Qingping? ”
The shopkeeper smiled and waved his hand, "Mingdao can't be talked about, but the suggestion is still a little." If this young man is a young man, it is better to go to the south of the city to have a look, the little girl went to the flowers, birds, fish and dragon street to stroll, as for the guest officer, Qingping Lou's Qingping wine, it is a pity not to taste it. ”
Li Chan gave a thumbs up and said, "The shopkeeper's eyes are not blind." ”
The shopkeeper laughed heartily, "Listen to this." However, I would like to remind you that you must rush back before the time of the war, this Qingping County is tightly managed, and it is caught by the patrol team of King Yue's Mansion, and it is difficult to figure it out before the autumn equinox. ”
"Is the curfew so strict?" Li Chan said in surprise.
"It wasn't strict before, isn't it that there have been a lot of people recently, I'm afraid that one accidentally gave birth to a lot of things. "The shopkeeper has a very good mentality and is not worried at all.
"Thank you. Li Chan grinned, and his attitude was more serious and rigorous than before.
"Okay, then I won't delay your time, so as not to annoy people, let's go. The shopkeeper soon began to chase people.
The group laughed and quickly walked out of the house.
Ning Junxi thought that it would be boring for the two of them to follow, so he proposed to go to the flower, bird, fish and insect market to go around, and deal with it casually on the side of the road for lunch.
Sisi was naturally willing, but Li Chan said that he wanted to take Ning Junxi to a good place, Ning Jun was helpless, and in the end, the frost promised that Sisi would be sent back safely, and the four parted ways again.
Li Chan took Ning Junxi to the south of the city, and there were three young people cross-legged in one of the alleys, and Ning Junxi inquired and learned that he was a poor man who made a living by winning or losing chess.
Li Chan didn't let Ning Junxi come this time, but led Ning Junxi to walk a distance and found a gray-clothed scholar who was sleeping lightly against the wall.
When Li Chan called him, the scholar woke up suddenly, startled, but instantly calmed down, "Who are the two of you?"
"How many articles do you bet on in the next game?" Li Chan squatted in front of the reader and asked very casually.
"Twenty texts. The scholar was a little unconfident, gritted his teeth, and added, "If you are too expensive, fifteen wen is fine, and any less is to humiliate Cen someone." ”
Li Chan nodded, and said, "Listen to my request." If you win, I'll give you twenty taels of silver, and if you lose, you just give me twenty wen, how about it?"
The scholar was slightly stunned, then his lips trembled, and he said in a trembling voice, "Your Excellency looks down on someone Cen?"
Li Chan waved his hand and pointed at Ning Junxi, "This guy is relatively blunt and may react slower, so I think this game of chess may take longer, and others may not have this patience." ”
The scholar glanced at Ning Junxi.
Ning Junxi showed a harmless smile, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.
"Good. The reader said in a trembling voice.
He knew what these twenty taels meant, and this could be an opportunity that would change his life, and he couldn't afford not to tremble.
"Then you play, I'll wander around. Li Chan yawned a little and prepared to leave.
"Yizen!" Ning Junxi suddenly called him, threw a piece of broken silver over when he turned around, and smiled.
Li Chan immediately smiled, gave Ning Jun a thumbs up, and happily walked towards the alley.
Here, the scholar surnamed Cen carefully wiped the chessboard and chess box, and then wiped his hands before opening the chess box, and Chong Ningjun gestured.
It was Bai Zi who he pushed to Ning Junxi, but he signaled Ning Junxi to go first.
Ning Junxi nodded in understanding, and wiped his hands before twisting those white sons, and one fell in Tianyuan's position.
The reader was stunned for a moment, then quickly nodded again, and dropped a son in the lower position.
Without Li Chan watching from the side, Ning Junxi would be much more comfortable, after all, Ning Junxi was not skilled enough to learn chess, and it was more difficult to hide clumsiness at present.
His style of chess this time is not to play steadily, but to open and close, and no longer deliberately pursue the style of the basic chess game, because in the first half of the game with Gongsun Zhi, Ning Junxi has reached a bottleneck for this part of the chess path, and then tangled in this part, just doing useless work, it is better to change the way of thinking.
The scholar's chess path is more steady and steady, but his style is not the same as Gongsun Zhi's, he is more down-to-earth, but he is not lacking in flexibility, and even many times the clever tricks of deliberately leaving his hand make Ning Junxi feel amazed after a while.
In this game, the two of them played for half a day.
Ning Junxi is still a loser.
However, this scholar probably didn't want to owe Li Chan a favor, and deliberately instructed Ning Junxi, which really benefited Ning Junxi.
Coincidentally, when the two of them were separating, Li Chan Shi Ran walked back from the alley, which made Ning Junxi wonder if this guy had been watching.
In the end, it was naturally Ning Junxi who paid the money, and Li Chan had no money.
The two of them nodded at the reader, and without asking the reader's real name, they left.
It's just that when Li Chan turned the corner, he suddenly turned around and gave a thumbs up to the scholar.
The scholar surnamed Cen, who had been watching, was stunned, bowed in the direction the two left after a while, and then packed his bags and left slowly.
After leaving the alley, Ning Junxi asked Li Chan if he knew the scholar, but Li Chan just smiled mysteriously and did not answer positively.
Ning Junxi is not a more serious character, seeing that he doesn't want to say, he doesn't ask much.
After that, the two went to Flowers, Birds, Fish and Insects Street to find two women, but they inexplicably caused an unwarranted disaster.
What happened on the street was an old-fashioned drama of selling oneself to bury one's father, but the characters involved in this drama were His Royal Highness the Prince and his group of servants who had disappeared for nearly a month, so this old-fashioned drama would change slightly.
This was originally a robbery of the people's girls without suspense, but as a result, Ning Junxi happened to pass by, and His Royal Highness the Prince of the World happened to see Ning Junxi again, his eyebrows straightened, and he suddenly shouted, "Dog mongrel, stop!"
