Half a month later, a small city called Fengcheng in the south of Dahan. It is said that in late autumn, the maple trees in the city turn red, and the fiery red leaves fall all over the city streets, creating a picturesque scenery in late autumn.

I'd rather go all the way here and rest here for a while, but unfortunately it's not late autumn at this time, and I can't see the scenery of the maple leaves falling all over the city.

At this time, Ning Zhi was wearing a variegated cloth suit, wearing a long sword at his waist, and his long hair was tied up at will, and he was alive and well as a down-and-out ranger.

Not to mention, compared with the brocade clothes of the sons of the family, a variegated cloth dress at this time Ning Zhi felt more comfortable to wear. It may be that there were too many days of mixing rivers and lakes in the previous life.

On his back he carried a sachet containing some silver coins and some changes of clothes. It looks like the other rangers, quite not wealthy.

What was actually really valuable was put into the storage ring by Ning Zhi, and the storage ring Ning Zhi did not wear it on his hand, but wore it around his neck with a thread.

I have to say that the storage ring given by Li Ruoshui has brought too much convenience to Ning Zhi to walk the rivers and lakes. Otherwise, if you carry some precious things with you, you will have to deal with many greedy people.

At this moment, Ning Zhi was sitting at a stall on the side of the road, eating and drinking, listening to the people around him talking about something.

But the most talked about is an incident that happened locally.

"If you want to say that those two people are really bold, the Huang family and the Wang family have already placed a bounty, catch one, and the bounty will be ten crystal coins!"

"Ten crystals!" everyone exclaimed.

One crystal coin is equivalent to about one hundred taels, and ten crystal coins are one thousand taels. The normal annual expenses of an ordinary family are about ten taels. A normal innate martial artist has at most five or six crystal coins on his body.

Moreover, crystal coins are not just wealth, crystal coins can be used for cultivation, and the cultivation speed is about ten times more than the cultivation speed of normal martial artists. It's just that very few martial artists are rich enough to use crystal coins to cultivate, and they can only be extravagant once in a while, and they can't always use crystal coins to cultivate.

Ning Zhi also secretly smacked his tongue, these small families who dominate one side are really rich.

Among the four kingdoms of the human race, the Great Han and the Great Qin can only achieve the level of large cities and the direct management of the state. Small cities like Maple City are all managed by local families.

Send an official to govern, and all those who can be used and called are all local heroes. How not to be overhead?

The situation in the Great Zhou is the most serious, and the territory is clearly divided, and the only one who can directly control it is Zhou Wangcheng. Whether the order can be transmitted to the territory of the princes. Either to see if the prince was in a good mood, or to see if Zhou Tianzi, who was in office at the time, was a dick or not.

All in all, the situation of the Great Zhou is very complicated, when it is powerful, the four kingdoms are the first, the ancestral court of the human race, all the countries come to the court, and the eight hundred princes kneel to welcome the emperor of Zhou. When it was weak, it had no sense of existence, and the surrounding countries were destroyed when the Zhou Dynasty was destroyed. Neighboring countries even dare to openly win the championship, what is the importance of Jiuding?

The situation of Daqin is a little better than that of Dahan, and the Qin soldiers are notoriously murderous without blinking, and after seizing the reason to bloody a few great families, the heroes and strongmen are also obedient.

It is more difficult on the Han side, the two generations of Han Tianzi are all kind-hearted people, and these two generations of Han Tianzi even adopt a moderate system at the border. If you can, you won't fight, and you can recuperate. This style of work has reached the head of the powerful family, which has led to the fact that the Han is not as decisive as the Great Qin on the issue of the family.

Fortunately, the local Haoqiang on the side of the Han Dynasty finally listens to the state, but the government decree is difficult to get into the place, and the local Haoqiang is dominated by one party in a small place.

In this way, it is not surprising why such a small family is wealthy.

Even more exaggerated, as the rulers of one side, these families are unrivaled in the local power.

There are three major families in Fengcheng, the Huang family, the Wang family, and the He family.

The Tiangao Emperor is far away, in Fengcheng, for the people of these places, these three families are similar to the royal family. It's all life and death, and words are spoken. Every move is indisobedient.

But under such circumstances, someone dared to openly rebel against the three major families, and even killed the people of the three major families in public. That's the big news.

"If you want me to say, the style of the three major families is really overbearing. It's no wonder that some people are not used to resisting. ”

"Hey, Haoqiang, are you going to kill one if you're not happy?"

"That's it. ”

For Ning Lai, these things are to be heard as an interesting thing. Similar things happen in many places, and Ning Zhi didn't pay much attention to them.

After settling the bills, settling the bills, I'd rather go straight to buy something.

Within a radius, Fengcheng is the largest city, second only to the county city. There will be no more supplies for a long time to come, so I would rather make a good supply here.

Water, dry food, clothing, medicines, and much more. Purchasing all the way, Ningzhi's backpack is also a lot richer.

The whole afternoon was shopping and running around. Ning Zhi found a place to rest, and there were two old men playing chess on the side. I'd rather be bored and go over and see.

Two old men, one glaring and grinning at the other, the other with an unfathomable smile on his face.

Ning Zhi looked at the chessboard, and then frowned unconsciously.

Ordinary chessboard, Ning Zhi actually saw a bit of the taste of soldiers.

In the chessboard, Kuroko is decisive in killing, brave and aggressive, full of the courage of a young man and his dedication to the goal. Baizi, on the other hand, sits firmly on the Diaoyutai and is good at making use of the role that each chess piece can play. Many chess pieces in the corners obviously don't work, but at a certain moment they can play a big role.

The winner has been decided, and Kuroko is no match for White.

It's just that whether it's a black or a white one, it's far beyond Ningzhi. Whether it's a game of chess or a war.

These two old men, could it be some kind of hidden boss in the military way?

"Young man, do you know how to play chess?" the old man, who always had an unfathomable smile on his face, saw Ning Zhi and asked curiously.

"He's got a!" interrupted the grinning old man waving his hand, "I'm going to lose it, and then I'm sure I'll be able to beat you." ”

"You'd better adjust your mentality, and let this young man try it, won't you?" the old man smiled and looked at Ning Zhi, "Moreover, this young man can understand our chess." ”

Hearing this, the grinning old man glared and was stunned for a moment. Then he looked at Ning Zhi, "You, do you want to come to the next game??"

Ning Zhi nodded, "I can't ask for it." ”

Could it be a military boss? Ning Zhi couldn't help but guess.

The old man stepped out of the way and sat down in his seat. Another old man knocked on the chessboard and said, "Do you know this kind of chess?"

The chessboard has a total of seventeen vertical and horizontal lines, and Ning Zhi looks at it and feels a little familiar, but he doesn't know it. So Ning Zhi shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

Obviously, the two old men clearly showed a look of disappointment.

But the old man who kept smiling was very good at hiding his emotions, and he instantly hid his loss. The disappointment on the face of the other old man was obvious, and he did not hide it.

What are they disappointed about? I just don't know the chessboard?

You can't deny me just because of this, right?

"Little brother, don't blame. The old man who had been smiling generously explained, "This chessboard is a product of my hometown, only in my hometown, Brother Huo and I have been away from home for many years, and we miss our hometown a lot." I just saw that the little brother seemed to know the appearance of this chessboard, which meant that he saw the people in his hometown, and he found out that it was not, so he was disappointed. ”

Reasonable, sincere, and the nostalgic expression on the old man's face is also extremely sincere.

Ning Zhi was relieved.

He smiled and said it didn't matter. Then in an instant Ning Zhi realized that something was wrong, and he remembered why he felt that the chessboard was familiar, because Ning Zhi had seen it, in some ancient ruins.

There was a sketch of the chessboard on it, but Ning Zhi didn't understand what it meant at all, so he didn't think about it for a while.

So why does the old man say it's from his hometown?

Did this ancient thing pass down only to his hometown?

The old man is lying!

When I think about this, I would rather not be silent on my face. No matter what the old man lied for, Ning Zhi didn't intend to dig deeper. After all, it's a stranger, and it's strange to expect others to dig out their hearts and lungs for you.

It's just that Ning Zhi still consciously became more wary of the old man.

Of course, old people can lie, but no one will be honest with a person who likes to lie.

"This is called Go, you are seeing it for the first time, let me introduce you to the rules of the game. The old man pointed to the chessboard and explained the rules of Go in detail for Ning Zhi, who listened with relish. The other old man was bored, and his eyes rolled to look elsewhere.

The rules and gameplay are not complicated, to put it bluntly, it is a land grab. Whoever has the turf wins. But there are so many ways to play outside of the rules.
