Chapter 029: Watching Chess Silently
Zhong Sheng was very happy to play against the old tea guest, and there were many onlookers at this time, but most of them came to drink tea and listen to books, and there were almost no people who could play Go.
In the crowd, there was a chivalrous man in his twenties with a bag on his back, two stainless steel sticks stuck behind his waist, probably tired of standing, beckoning to the runner to serve a bowl of tea, sitting down on the edge of the chess table and watching the chess without saying a word, occasionally scratching his head and thinking.
Zhong Sheng took every step of the way, walked out of a 'iron lock boat', surrounded the old tea guest's 'fire word' chess game, Zhong Sheng reversed the defeat, and the chivalrous shooting was amazing.
At this time, a startling voice broke the silence of the teahouse, and the storyteller had come to the teahouse on time, as if there was rain or shine, and the sky was not shocked.
The storyteller patted the shocked wood again and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the old man talked about the 'Han Gaozu slashing the white snake' today, and Liu Bang, who was still the pavilion chief at the time...... "The storyteller is like a river, and he talks in a low voice, perhaps because the deaf will not be disturbed by the outside world."
There are many people who come to the teahouse to listen to the story, call for a pot of tea, and then ask for a plate of melon seeds, which is really leisurely.
The chess game continued, unaffected by the storyteller, and Zhong Sheng held a chess piece in his hand and refused to fall.
The old tea guest saw his hesitation, and sighed softly: "If you give up a son to move the overall situation, the son can win, why hesitate?
Zhong Sheng shook his head: "If you give up your soldiers to save your life, it is not the husband's doing, maybe there is a way to have the best of both worlds......" After speaking, he dropped the chess pieces and took a step to retreat.
The knight sighed quietly: "The chess field is like a battlefield, don't have a merciful heart!" After speaking, he gently patted his mouth a few times, signaling that he was talking more.
Zhong Sheng and the old tea guest both smiled and did not speak, the chess game had reached the final stage, and it seemed that the two of them were evenly matched, and the outcome was still unclear.
Zhong Sheng thought to himself why the naughty ghost didn't come to stir up the situation, it was not good to win the old tea guest, so that he would be seen again, the drunkard's case had no eyebrows at all, it seemed that Ying'er was going to suffer a little bit of flesh and skin, and it was not okay to give up the chess pieces......
The storyteller's story was finished, the chess game continued, and the tea players dispersed in groups of threes and twos, leaving only three people at the chess table.
Li Yatou led two or three people to the teahouse, looking in good spirits, he should have gone back to sleep for a long time, and stood and watched chess without making a sound.
Zhong Sheng spoke first: "Lord Li stayed up all night, why don't you sleep more?
Li Yatou didn't get angry, and said calmly: "It's not too late to talk about it after you finish playing chess." ”
The soldiers behind him couldn't help it, and came over and pointed at Zhong Sheng and said angrily: "Our brothers have guarded you all night, but you are here to play chess and have fun, hum!"
Li Yatou shouted: "Stand down!" The soldier stood beside Zhong Sheng and did not move, staring at Zhong Sheng fiercely.
Zhong Sheng grabbed a handful of broken silver from his arms and stuffed it into the arms of the soldiers, and said with a smile: "There are laborers, this is used to drink for the brothers, it is regarded as a little bit of Xiaosheng's heart." ”
The Ya soldier was about to speak, but Li Yatou scolded him to retreat.
Li Yatou looked at the chivalrous guest and asked Zhong Sheng, "This is the helper you found?"
Zhong Sheng shook his head with a smile, and the chivalrous man stood up and clasped his fists at Li Yatou and said, "The poor master misunderstood, and he happened to come to this teahouse to have a cup of tea, and he didn't know this son and the old gentleman. As he spoke, he raised his palm and politely pointed to Zhong Sheng and the old tea guest.
Li Yatou looked the knight up and down: "What is your surname, where is it from, what are you doing here?"
The young knight hugged his fists again and said: "Under 'Zhao Jiuzhong', he lives in Luoyang and goes out to practice when he is young. ”
Li Yatou's eyes rolled: "Luoyang's surname is Zhao ......" while muttering while pacing in the teahouse: "'Zhao Hongyin', do you know?"
Zhao Jiuzhong replied: "That's a big family, I don't know it, I don't know ......."
When Zhao Jiu replied, there was a flash of hesitation on his face.
Zhong Sheng hurriedly interrupted and said, "Since Li Yatou has worked tirelessly to find him, how about this chess game be played another day?" he said and looked at the old tea guest.
The old tea guest nodded: "Okay, okay, another day, another day......"
Zhong Sheng followed Li Yatou away, Zhao Jiuzhong asked which tavern was the best in the town, and the one told him that the best restaurant in the town was 'Wine in the Fragrance', and after listening to it, he went straight to 'Wine in the Fragrance'.
