Chapter 48: The Game
Before the twilight completely faded, the Tingfeng Inn began to be lively and noisy, and young talents came to the door one after another, and after meeting, they were polite to each other, and greeted each other, which was really lively.
seems to be a weak scholar with a polite manner, a handsome and noble son with a graceful demeanor, a bald monk with Buddhist beads in his hands, a prodigal son with a double knife at his waist, and a bold chivalrous man who is not informal...... Some of them came here for admiration, some were entrusted by the elders of the sect, and of course there were both.
Unconsciously, the Listening Wind Inn was crowded with all kinds of Jianghu heroes.
It stands to reason that seeing that his small shop is overcrowded, the host should be happy, but Ling Lao looked at the hall on the first floor full of distinguished guests, and he couldn't be happy.
At the beginning, when Ling Lao opened this Tingfeng Inn, relying on the identity and fame of the older generation, he was very much an uncle's rule, and clearly announced to the rivers and lakes that the Tingfeng Inn would not accept Jianghu people with big gates.
Of course, none of them include hegemon-level forces.
After all, to be called a hegemon, naturally it is not something that anyone can do what they want.
You say yours, I naturally still do my own thing.
Of course, for the other forces in the rivers and lakes, even the nine first-class forces are happy to give this old-timer some face.
But how could he have expected this to be the case today.
Now, nearly 100 people from the rivers and lakes crowded the first and second floors under the guise of looking for people, not to mention, and scared their customers for fear of provoking this group of people with deep backgrounds, and none of them dared to enter the door of the Listening Wind Inn.
Every breath of delay is silver.
Can he not be depressed?
If it weren't for the fact that there were too many forces involved, he would have picked up a broom to drive people away.
Get?
Someone looking for your mother's big-headed ghost.
But when he thought of how many Jianghu forces he would offend if he did this, Ling Lao could only sigh, the old man couldn't bear it.
When Ling Lao was scolding his mother, he saw Xiao Tianyue, Luo Tianyi, and Yun Luohan coming downstairs with a smile, their faces were excellent, and they obviously slept well last night.
Ling Lao secretly scolded Sheng Niang again in his heart, and then immediately a warm smile appeared on the wrinkled old face and stepped forward.
Xiao Tianyue and the three of them didn't take a big deal in front of the seniors at all, and after standing still in front of Ling Lao, they made a junior salute to him in a proper manner, and said slightly apologetically: "I'm really sorry for causing trouble to Ling Lao." ”
"It's okay, it's okay. This is the luck of the little old man. Ling Lao still smiled on his face, and said kindly. But he was wailing in his heart, "I know that I have caused trouble to the little old man and come down so late, look at this day, I am young, what kind of bed do I lie on? And last night I had nothing to do to find something to play majestic, what kind of chivalrous demeanor does the little girl's family want." ”
Xiao Tianyue naturally didn't know what Ling Lao was thinking, and continued to say gently and politely: "The juniors know the rules of the seniors, but today's things, I really don't want to go, so the juniors plan to listen to all the expenses of the Wind Inn today, and the juniors will bear it alone, how about it?"
When Ling Lao heard this, his eyes lit up and he nodded again and again. This little girl can be a person, good, good.
Seeing this, Xiao Tianyue smiled more and more sweetly, "Then if today's juniors want to entertain all the talented and heroic people downstairs in their personal name, I don't know if it can be regarded as breaking the rules of the seniors?"
Ling Lao was slightly stunned, and then the smile on his face was like a wild chrysanthemum blooming in early autumn, which was extremely bright, "No, naturally not." But little girl, let's talk about it, this is your treat, and it has nothing to do with Xiao Lao'er, and it has nothing to do with Tingfeng Inn. ”
Xiao Tianyue smiled lightly, "This is nature." ”
In the guest room on the third floor, Xiao Feng and Xu Tianwang played across the table.
Xu Tianwang picked up a sunspot and placed it on the chessboard, "It's rare that you will take the initiative to ask to play against me, it's really rare." ”
Xiao Feng then fell, "What's so rare about this, it's just a moment of boredom." The tone was still calm and gentle.
Xu Tianwang pursed his lips, "Really?"
Xiao Feng yawned, "I also want to give you a heads-up." ”
"Reminder?" Xu Tianwang's twisted hand paused slightly, "What are you waking up?"
Xiao Feng stretched out his index finger and tapped the table a few times, signaling him to fall, his tone was calm, and he continued: "Do you still remember my three questions when the Ethereal Building was born three years ago?"
Xu Tianwangluozi's hand shook suddenly, almost messing up the whole chess game.
How could he forget the three rhetorical questions that made all the smart people on the rivers and lakes ashamed?
Q: What is the current situation in the rivers and lakes?
Nowadays, the rivers and lakes are like a chess master who has played half of the exquisite chess, which seems to be ordinary and unremarkable, but in fact, it only takes one son to change the situation.
Now that son is about to fall.
Second, what is the attitude of the three empires towards the rivers and lakes?
The three empires ignore and ignore the forces of the rivers and lakes, not because they are afraid of the rivers and lakes, but because they are afraid of each other.
This is also the reason why most of the Jianghu people are reluctant to cross the boundary with the empire. If one day the emperor no longer cares about the misery of life and steps on the rivers and lakes, there should be a few heroes and heroes in the rivers and lakes who died under the iron hooves.
3. What will be the future changes of the rivers and lakes?
Good and evil, evil and good, the rivers and lakes will enter the two extremes, and will also usher in a new era.
These three questions, whether they are questions or answers, are so simple but so thought-provoking, which makes many Jianghu junjie bow their arrogant heads and be convinced.
Xiao Feng glanced at him with a little reproach, raised his hand to arrange the chess pieces on the chessboard one by one, and then continued: "On that day, I said that the rivers and lakes at that time were like exquisite chess more than half of the opening game, which seemed to be unwavering, but in fact, it only took one son to surge. ”
As he spoke, he settled down.
I saw that the originally peaceful chess game had been linked to each other at some point, and the dark tide was surging.
Xu Tianwang was shocked, when did the young man lay so many secret hands?
Xiao Feng nodded slightly at Xu Tianwang, signaling that it was time for him to fall.
Xu Tianwang's face was solemn, and he thought for a moment before he cautiously left a son.
Xiao Feng followed up with another son.
On the chessboard, the two armies suddenly confronted each other, and the swords were tense.
Xu Tianwang frowned, he felt that every time he fell, it seemed that he was in the calculation of the young man, or rather, the young man had already guessed which position he would be in. Thinking of this, he was shocked again.
Xiao Feng's face was still calm, and he continued: "Today's rivers and lakes are between this. ”
Xu Tianwang was slightly stunned.
Xiao Feng looked up at Xu Tianwang, "This is what I want to remind you, do you understand?"
Xu Tianwang suddenly came back to his senses and looked at Xiao Feng with a complicated expression.
Reminders?
Why does he think that in the young man's heart, the rivers and lakes are actually the exquisite game of chess in front of him.
Xiao Feng seemed to know what he was thinking, and smiled slightly, "So, there are some things you can do with confidence, and some things you have to think twice." Otherwise, I will not show mercy. ”
Xu Tianwang's face was even more complicated, what did this young man want to do?
Xiao Feng smiled again, and stretched out his index finger to buckle the chessboard, "Today's things, if you can think about these things clearly, you can think about them, and if you can't think clearly, you should just laugh and talk about them." Now play chess. ”
Xu Tianwang glanced at Xiao Feng deeply, then shook his head, and his thoughts returned to the chessboard again. No matter what the hell the boy was going to do, they wouldn't be enemies anyway.
Thankfully, they won't be enemies in the future.
I don't know how long it took, but the noise downstairs grew louder.
Xu Tianwang picked up a sunspot and played with it in his hand, "By the way, you really don't have to worry about letting those guys deal with those people outside, so you won't be afraid that they will mess up?"
Xiao Feng fell calmly again, raised his head and smiled: "What is there to be afraid of? Don't you know that they are not incapable, but because I am by my side, they are too lazy to use their brains? Besides, if they can't even handle these small things, my three years will be in vain." He yawned lazily, "I'm too unconfident in myself." ”
At this moment, a crisp female voice came clearly downstairs, it was Xiao Tianyue.
"Tianyue is very honored to be so valued by you today, and she can't repay it, so she specially placed good wine and food to show her gratitude. As for visits and the like, this banquet can be regarded as a greeting, and there is no need to visit alone. Tianyue came to Zhenjiang this time just to play, and did not want to pay attention to the affairs of the rivers and lakes. In addition, I would like to remind you that Tianyue doesn't mind that you are curious, but don't be caught by me, otherwise I don't guarantee that you will be in good condition when you leave Zhenjiang County. ”
Xiao Feng's smile became gentler and he raised his eyebrows to look at Xu Tianwang.
The corners of Xu Tianwang's lips hooked slightly, and he muttered: "It's really interesting, it seems that I really underestimate people." ”
