Chapter 498 - A moment of trance

"What's the matter, Brother Chi is still polite to me?" said Yongmen Zidi with a smile.

"I've heard that recently, people from the imperial court have gone to the various sects to ask for manpower to form an army, but is this the case?" Chi Zhongtian asked.

When Yongmen Zidi heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then hahadaxiao said: "Brother Chi is really well-informed, I won't hide it from you, if you don't ask me about this matter, I will also find a way to inform you!"

"Notify me, inform me what to do?" Chi Zhongtian asked, puzzled.

At this time, Yongmen Zidi smiled mysteriously, and then said: "That's it, you wait here first, I'll go find my father, and then you will know." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Chi Zhongtian to agree, Yongmen Zidi quickly ran out.

In about half an hour, Yongmen Zhen rushed back, and he was very happy to hear that Chi Zhongtian had arrived.

"Chi Xian's nephew!" Yongmen Zhenren had not yet arrived, and his voice had already arrived.

"Master Yongmen!" Chi Zhongtian quickly stood up and returned the salute.

"Don't you know, since you killed a game with His Royal Highness last time, His Royal Highness won't forget you, and I want to play chess with you every day, haha!" Yongmen Zhen said heartily as he walked into the room.

"That's the prince's love. Chi Zhongtian said humbly.

"You're okay today, are you?" asked Yongmen Zhen suddenly.

Chi Zhongtian nodded and said, "It's okay!"

"In that case, if you go to the palace with me, the prince will definitely be happy to see you!" Yongmen Zhen said.

Chi Zhongtian was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Lord Wang, I just want to ask."

"I know, you don't have to ask, you'll know when you should know, go, come with me now. After speaking, Yongmen Zhen did not wait for Chi Zhongtian to answer, so he immediately instructed Yongmen Zidi to prepare the carriage, Chi Zhongtian saw it, so he simply didn't say anything, leaving Guan Ziyu and the other three, got in the carriage and went to the Zunwang Mansion.

After arriving at the palace, the king had already received the report, so he was sitting in the hall waiting at the moment.

After entering the hall, Chi Zhongtian saw King Venerable at a glance.

"Lord Wang!" Chi Zhongtian smiled and bent down to give a salute, but he still did not kneel.

The king didn't care about this, but got up and said: "Good boy, I really miss you, I've heard that your kid has been in the limelight recently!"

"The prince is also concerned about our martial arts?" Chi Zhongtian asked curiously.

"That's me, I'm a man who cares about everything. After the king finished speaking, he suddenly said: "In this way, I will arrange a program for you first, don't shirk it!"

Chi Zhongtian asked with a smile, "What arrangements does the prince have?"

"After I played chess with you last time, I told Bai Ling, I said that his chess is not as good as you, but Guo Bai Ling was not convinced, and said that there is a chance to have a good game with you, I have already sent someone to find him, and it will be there in a while, you two are here, come to a game in front of me, let me have a good time, how about it?

As soon as he heard that he was going to play chess again, Chi Zhongtian couldn't help but have a headache, and he said with a wry smile: "Guo Bailing is a famous chess saint, I'm afraid I can't play him." ”

"Hey, what are you humble, show the arrogance of playing chess with me that time, I can tell you, if you win, I will be rewarded!" said the prince with a smile.

As soon as he heard that there was a reward, Chi Zhongtian was immediately happy, so it didn't matter if the next game was made, if this king made a move, it must not be ordinary.

"Okay, since the prince likes to watch it, then I'll accompany you!" Chi Zhongtian also replied cheerfully.

"Haha, come on, get ready for chess and tea. The King sat down in his chair as he made arrangements.

If it comes, it will be safe, Chi Zhongtian is not in a hurry to ask now, everything will wait for this show to pass, thinking that he has been very nervous during this time, and he can take this opportunity to play a game of chess to relax, which is also haode.

Soon, Guo Bailing came to the palace.

At the age of 100, he was nearly 50 years old, he was a well-known chess saint, defeated the world's masters at the age of 16, and at the age of 20, he repelled the foreign envoys who came to pay tribute to the three sons of chess, and at the age of 30, he retired from the top ten chess edicts with his own strength, and was later named the chess edict by the emperor, and was known as the "chess saint"

Chi Zhongtian was in the mouth of Chi Yuanshan before, and he had heard of this person, thinking that he could also play a game of chess with a generation of chess saints today, which was really a blessing for three lives.

"Lord Wang!" Guo Bailing was wearing a very ordinary cotton silk brocade robe, and a thick hat on his head, looking a little chilly.

"Come, come, let me tell you, this is the Chi Zhongtian I often mentioned to you, who killed me all over the ground last time!" said the king humorously.

"The prince praised it falsely, Zhongtian is ashamed!" Chi Zhongtian said with a smile.

"Oh, the prince's chess strength is very clear, so speaking of which, this little friend is extraordinary!" Guo Bailing said.

"Where, where, the name of the chess saint, I have heard of it for a long time, and I am very fortunate to be able to ask you for a game today!" Chi Zhongtian said.

"Okay, you two don't rub around here, let's kill!" With a wave of his hand, King Zun waved his hand, and Guo Bailing and Chi Zhongtian sat on both sides.

"Xiaoyou is young, you can choose. Guo Bailing said with a smile.

Chi Zhongtian pondered for a moment, reached out and dragged the white chess piece over.

There was a hint of doubt in Guo Bailing's eyes, but he didn't think much about it.

Soon, the two began to play back and forth.

Over 100 years old is worthy of being a chess saint, and before he reaches the middle game, Chi Zhongtian's situation has already shown signs of defeat, not only is there little space, but the chess is also thin.

Although the opponent is a chess master, once you are in the game, the genius in the pool does not care what you are.

Immediately afterwards, Chi Zhongtian fell into contemplation, but Rao was racking his brains, but in the end, he lost to Guo Bailing by half a child.

In this game of chess, the two of them played for at least two hours, and after finishing the counting, Guo Bailing seemed to have lost his strength all of a sudden, and leaned weakly on the back of the chair.

Chi Zhongtian was very uncomfortable in the face of the result, there was still hope in the official stage, but after all, he was not a serious chess player, and his basic skills were much worse.

"Wonderful! This game of chess is the most wonderful game that this king has ever seen in his life!" the king seemed to be still reminiscing, and only after a long time did he say a word.

"Lord Wang, this Chi Xiaoyou's chess strength is very unusual, dare to ask who the teacher is?" Guo Bailing asked in a low tone.

Chi Zhongtian was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly replied: "I don't dare to talk about my teacher's inheritance, my father once taught me the simple truth of chess, and then I read books and pondered it blindly." ”

"Have you ever worshipped Master by reading by yourself?" asked Guo Bailing.

"My family lives far away, in the far north, all year round in the ice and snow, sparsely populated, I haven't seen many outsiders when I was a child, so naturally I don't have the blessing to let the master teach a little bit of the Tao. Chi Zhongtian said.

The level of Go that is over 100 years old can be played to this point, and the natural person is also extremely intelligent, and he has clearly known from Chi Zhongtian's demeanor and words that Chi Zhongtian is telling the truth.

"You are really a genius to be able to reach such a level by no one to teach you only by self-study!" Guo Bailing sincerely admired.

"Well, this game of chess, I think Chi Xiaoyou played very well, but his skills are still lacking in shortcomings, otherwise you would have planted Bailing. The King said with a smile.

Guo Bailing seemed to agree with this, and quickly nodded: "What the prince said is that it is a fluke to win this game of chess. ”

Then, he suddenly said: "Chi Xiaoyou, if you don't like it, can you deliberately go to the palace to be a chess player and wait for the edict?"

Hearing Bai Ling's words, Chi Zhongtian smiled dumbly, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

"I said Bailing, you are really stupid in playing chess, Chi Xiaoyou is a martial arts hero, people want to do big things, go to the palace to play chess with you every day, wouldn't it be overkill. The King said from the side.

"Oh, Chi Xiaoyou is still from the martial arts?" asked Guo Bailing in surprise.

"Yes, I practiced for a few days when I was a kid. Chi Zhongtian didn't want to talk too much about himself in front of Guo Bailing, so he just said a few perfunctory words.

"Haha, okay, I've learned today, another day, another day, another day there is a chance for us to play another game!" Guo Bailing stood up and said.

"I will accompany you. Chi Zhongtian replied with a smile.

After Guo Bailing left, King Zun first asked people to pack up their things, serve a few cups of tea, and then sat on the chair and said, "Chi Xiaoyou, how are you doing?"

"Thanks to the prince's concern, the younger generation is very haode. Chi Zhongtian replied.

"To tell you the truth, I wanted you to come for a long time, but I heard that you have been very busy some time ago, and you are solving some troublesome things in the martial arts, how is it, how is it solved now?" asked the king.

Chi Zhongtian said: "It's almost, but the source of the trouble hasn't been solved yet." ”

"I've heard a bit, and I don't know if it's true or not, but it's not something I should worry about, and it just so happens that you're here today, so I might as well tell you something. As he spoke, he motioned for all the servants in the house to go down.

At this time, Yongmen Zhen, who had been silent on the side, said: "Lord Wang, let's talk about it." ”

The Venerable King was stunned for a moment, then understood, so he smiled and said, "Okay, you can come and see." ”

"Chi Xian's nephew, here's the thing, recently, the country has been at war, and there have been some traitors in several places, trying to be unfavorable to the Celestial Empire, the saint intends to extract some disciples with strong martial arts in the various major sects in the martial arts, and then form them together as an army to defend the country and kill the enemy, just imagine, once there is a group of people with strong martial arts, when the two armies are stalemate, rush to kill, this power is amazing!" Yongmen Zhen said slowly.

Hearing this, Chi Zhongtian couldn't help but be shocked, and said in his heart that this emperor's idea is really chic, there are no less than a million troops in the court, and there are only a few people in the martial arts?

Seeing that Chi Zhongtian didn't speak, Yongmen Zhen continued: "Some time ago, this matter was already going on, and the emperor had sent people to recruit people from various gates, and it was all going well, and yesterday I heard that the recruitment was close to a thousand. ”

"Oh, I don't know which sects you've been to?" Chi Zhongtian suddenly asked.

"I don't know the specifics, anyway, some of the sects that the imperial court learned about have all gone, oh yes, your family's Cold Leaf Valley, I haven't been there yet, first, the place is too far away, and then come, we think that after seeing you in the future, you can convey it on your behalf." Yongmen Zhen replied.

"Lord Wang, Lord Taifu, Zhongtian thinks this matter is very good, the people in the martial arts, although the relationship with the court is very weak, but aside from this, we are all people of China, and we have the responsibility to contribute to the country, the so-called great man of chivalry, for the country and the people, the matter of the disciples of the Cold Leaf Valley, the prince and the Taifu don't have to worry, how many people are sent by other sects, I will be doubled by the Cold Leaf Valley!" Chi Zhongtian said.

"Okay! look, it's a young hero, this talk and do things is just a comfortable taste!" King Zun couldn't help but pat his chair and admired.

"Yes, I have long heard that the disciples of Hanye Valley are different from other sects, they are personally trained by the masters, so the combat effectiveness of this army has been greatly improved!"

"Well, it's just that, Chi Xiaoyou, we're looking for you, the matter of the disciples of Cold Leaf Valley is just one of them, and there is another big thing, we are looking for you. The King said with a smile.

"The prince commands!" Chi Zhongtian said.

"This army, the Holy Lord has tentatively named Shenwu Dragon Yangwei, and I haven't thought about the commander yet, I don't know if Chi Xiaoyou is interested. The King asked with a smile.

This question made Chi Zhongtian stupid, he shook his head, and after sobering up, he said: "Lord Wang, what do you mean, I don't really understand." ”

"Haha, what are you panicking about, to put it bluntly, this army, if it is handed over to you to command, do you have confidence?" Yongmen Zhen said on the side.

"Huh?" This time, after making sure that he heard clearly, Chi Zhongtian was completely stunned.

Let yourself command an army?

This may be the only thing that Chi Zhongtian has not thought about.

He thought about developing Hanye Valley into the number one faction in the rivers and lakes, he also thought about becoming the supreme of martial arts, and even thought that he could become a generation of heroes, but the only thing he didn't think about was to command an army.

Seeing that Chi Zhongtian was stunned, King Zun also knew what was going on, and it was estimated that this young man hadn't reacted for a while.

"Lord Wang, in my opinion, why don't you introduce me to the Holy Lord first?" said Yongmen Zhen.

King Venerable thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, Chi Xiaoyou, you think about it slowly, don't worry, I'll go and meet the saint when I go back, introduce you, and we'll talk about it then." ”

As soon as Chi Zhongtian heard that he was going to introduce himself in front of the emperor, he was even more panicked, no matter how powerful Chi Zhongtian's martial arts were, how famous he was in the martial arts, but when he heard the title of emperor, there would still be some awe in his heart, no way, in this world, the imperial power is the greatest, which Chi Zhongtian has already deeply touched.
