Panlong Lake is a collection of many rivers, can be said to be the center of the water flow of a province, although it is night, the merchant ships cruise like a carp, the river flows endlessly.

Some boats docked on the shore of the lake, Su Ziji swept his eyes, found a boat, and quickly negotiated the price of going to Linhua County, jumped on the boat, and asked it to take him to the painting boat to pick up people first.

Even if there is an accident, the painting boat is still the first choice for the assembly, because each floor can be placed more than a dozen tables, life is also comfortable, and more importantly, a painting boat is a hidden world, giving consumers a sense of security.

The boat leaned up and climbed onto the side of the boat, because the people on the boat were the organizers of the chess tournament, and they basically knew Su Ziji, and as soon as they went up, they heard the news.

"Ye Buregret is still playing chess?"

"Yes!" the person who was asked had an envious face: "Du Qi Sheng is playing chess with Miss Ye, but it's a pity that I can't witness this scene, hey!"

"Du Qi Sheng, such a chess club, there is actually a chess saint?" Su Ziji was surprised.

Du Qisheng's name is Du Chenglin, good at chess, is a chess saint in the Qingwu period, although he doesn't care much about chess, and he doesn't know much about chess games, but he still knows the status of this person among chess players.

Such a person, even if he appears in the Beijing Competition, will cause a sensation, not to mention that it is just a small Fu Competition?

How can this chess player be able to attract such a character to play chess?

"But it's a pity, no matter what the reason is, being able to play chess with the chess master is an honor for the chess player, and I don't regret that I am afraid of missing this opportunity. ”

Su Ziji felt sorry for Ye Buregret, but now that Uncle Ye is critically ill, if Ye Buregret doesn't go back immediately, he may not be able to see the last face, which will be an even greater regret.

Su Ziji hurriedly passed through the corridor, he hoped that in the past, the guide chess had been played, so that he would not delay going back immediately, and he would not let Ye Buregret leave regrets.

But when people arrived in the cabin, dozens of chess players or scholars, the stars gathered like the moon, and there were pretty maids, with a one-color Luo embroidered skirt, which looked to be selected.

When Su Ziji looked inside, he saw a pair of chess in the middle, and the guide chess was just halfway through, which was the highlight of the game.

Several people stood around, including those on one side of the chess match, all obsessed with watching a man and a woman play against each other.

The man was in his forties, very tall and thin, with a handsome appearance, a green shirt and a short beard, and his appearance was a little familiar, as if he had seen it in the hotel.

The girl sat upright, holding her breath and concentrating, quite calm, and it could be seen from the beads of sweat on her forehead that she was at a disadvantage at this time.

But to be able to play with the chess master for so long, and to barely maintain his own situation, although the guidance of chess itself is to guide the opponent, but it also proves that the girl's talent is good, and her strength is not weak.

Many chess spectators speculated that they had switched positions with the girl, and found themselves sitting in the girl's position, fearing that they had gone astray in the first few moves.

He is worthy of being a chess master!

Worthy of the winner of this competition!

"This son, there is a game ahead, you can't go any further. Seeing Su Ziji squeezing out of the crowd and heading to the middle, someone politely stopped him.

"I'm sorry, but the chess player is someone I know. Seeing that the person who stopped him was an entourage, not someone he had seen on the painting boat, Su Ziji guessed that the person brought by the chess saint, apologized for explaining, and raised his voice slightly.

"Her father is seriously ill, and someone has brought a letter to us to go back quickly......"

This was not only heard by the person who stopped it, but also heard by the two people who were playing chess, and looked over.

"Su Ziji, what happened to my father?" Ye Buregret was meditating hard, and when he heard this, the chess pieces in his hand clicked and landed on the chessboard, stood up, and the guide chess that was halfway through the game suddenly fell apart.

Ye Buregret how can he still care about playing chess at this time?

"Hey!" Du Chenglin, who was sitting opposite, couldn't help but sigh.

"Chess can't be played, fate is like this, little girl, your father is seriously ill, you can go back quickly, I just hope that I can see you in Beijing then." ”

Ye Buregret's face was pale, he reluctantly smiled at Fuli, thanked for the guidance, and ran out with Su Ziji.

"Packing up the things, you see if there is anything missing, the boat is waiting outside, and we rush back overnight. Su Ziji saw that she was in turmoil, and persuaded: "When I get on the boat, I'll talk to you slowly." ”

"Hmm!" Knowing that it was too late to ask questions on the way, it was important to hurry up and pack the luggage, Ye did not regret it or ink, and immediately went to the cabin, checked the luggage very neatly, and said in a deep voice in less than a tea time: "That's right, let the boatman drive the boat!"

"Wow!" suddenly came the cry of a little fox behind him, and the little fox, who didn't know where to run, actually chased after him at this time.

Ye Buregret glanced back at it and looked at Su Ziji hesitantly.

Su Ziji sighed: "Since it is willing to follow, bring it." ”

Ye Buregret bent over, the little fox jumped directly into her arms with great spirituality, and the two of them ordered to start the boat.

The ship only had a half-covered cabin, barely sheltered from the wind and rain, and it was not much worse than the Yu family's boat where it lived.

But now it is not easy to have a boat willing to carry it back overnight, where is there room for choice?

"The boat is sailing. The boatman shouted, and as the boat moved, Su Ziji sat silently and looked at Ye Buregret.

At this time, Ye Buregret's body trembled slightly, holding the little fox tightly, as if he was absorbing warmth, Su Ziji couldn't help but sigh, and said slowly: "Don't be afraid, Uncle Ye's illness will definitely not matter, and it will be good to take care of your body." ”

Ye Buregret's body trembled, raised his head, and in an instant, Su Ziji saw that her lips trembled, her face was unusually pale, and there was a hint of hope in her eyes.

The son wants to raise but the parent is not there, the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, life is so difficult.

Fucheng Station

A few pro-soldiers patrolled the narrow and low post station, and the spurs and swords clanged, looking murderous.

Fang Zhen looked at the document and frowned slightly.

"Little Hou Ye, the children in the province who participated in the government examination and were in this age range are all here, a total of eleven people. Gao Yaochen whispered: "Also, Su Ziji, who you are particularly concerned about, went home by boat last night. ”

"Oh, so fast, he won't wait for the list to come out, and he will leave on the same day?" Fang Zhen swept the list, and the first one was Su Ziji, a little suspicious: "Is this trying to dodge?"

"It's not impossible, little marquis, do you want to intercept it?" Gao Yaochen asked immediately.

"Not in a hurry. Fang Zhen thought for a moment and said, "Hasn't the news of the imperial examination come out yet?"

"I have already sent someone to enter the examination institute with the king order card, and if there is news, it will be transmitted immediately. "The examination room is an important place in the imperial court, and only with this can you enter and exit.

As he spoke, a person ran over, and as soon as he entered the door, he knelt down on one knee and announced: "News from the examination institute, the second trial has passed, and Su Ziji is preliminarily set at the fourth." ”

"Okay, good!" Fang Zhen smiled and nodded with a fan: "It's better than I imagined, if I didn't have Zhong Xiucai, it would be difficult for me to operate." ”

"If you are hit, or fourth, you will give me the order at once—let this person be the head of the case. ”
