CHAPTER XIII

Chang'an, Sun Mansion.

An old man quietly listened to the middle-aged man in front of him tell him, the old man was in a very good mood today, and his left hand was still holding a fragrant tea.

"It's young, after all. The old man said this inexplicably when the young man finished speaking.

"Is there something Huaiyu missing?" Sun Huaiyu was very nervous, it was difficult for him to guess what his father was thinking, one moment his father might still be smiling, and the next moment it was very likely that he would give you a bruise.

"Relax, you are my son, and you will inherit my mantle in the future. The old man said with a smile, he seemed to realize that he and his son were more like a subordinate relationship, and less father-son affection.

"Huaiyu doesn't ask for anything else, just to be able to spend his life with peace of mind. ”

"Go down. Sun Mou showed a trace of disappointment in his eyes, and said that the tiger father has no dogs, and his son is good at everything, but he lacks a little ambition, is it because I am too strict with him on weekdays, which causes him to have great ambitions? And even if he wants to be incognito and return to the field, can the truth really be as he wishes, for so many years, he has made too many enemies, I am afraid that once he is not an official in the court, someone will dare to order his Sun Mansion.

Sometimes, fate is not up to you, and if you want to change it, you will pay a terrible price.

"Let me in, I want to meet the emperor, if I can't see the emperor, how can I explain to my 100,000 brothers! We and other soldiers fought bloody battles to defend the territory and defend the country, but are we only getting such courtesy?" A big man outside the hall roared outside, he was Wang Han of the Xiongnu in the north.

"A stop in the clouds, although it is a victory, but also a fiasco, the bones of the soldiers are not cold, until now, the court has not issued a grain and a silk, I want the emperor to give me an explanation for 100,000 brothers!" Wang Han was angry, he lost his mind, he had been waiting for two days, he didn't know what to do, he couldn't go back to face the dead people, he couldn't face the living soldiers, and he couldn't face the dead family members.

"General Wang, the treasury is short of silver, and I really can't take it out..."Gonggong Li persuaded on the side.

"Fart!" Wang Han's eyes widened. "Last month, Chen Guifei had her birthday, where did the 300,000 silver come from? ”

"General Wang, please be careful, I know you're sad, but it's not your turn to make a big deal here. Believe it or not, with what you just said, I will be able to arrest you and hand you over to Dali Temple. “

"Okay, Lao Tzu is just shy in his pocket, thank you. Drunk and lying on the battlefield, Jun Mo smiled, and a few people came back to fight in ancient times. Hahaha" Wang Han looked up to the sky and laughed and left frankly.

"Father-in-law, do you want to arrest him. One of the guards asked cautiously.

"him, he's crazy and you're crazy. Father-in-law Li said angrily. "People are fighting bloody battles on the battlefield, and you still have to arrest people, so don't take this month's money. ”

"Father-in-law spares his life..."

Chang'an, how many people's blood is trampled on behind the prosperity, the merchant girl does not know the hatred of the country, and she still sings the back pavilion flower across the river! Poor riverside has no fixed bones, like a dream person in the boudoir.

"Brother Xian, you're late. “

"I'm sorry, I searched for a long time to find this 'Du Fu Teahouse'. Xu Sanjin was sweating profusely, walked over, picked up the teapot, and faced the spout with a burst of cow drink.

A pot of tea quickly bottomed out, and then Xu Sanjin smacked his lips and said. "Brother Liu is looking for me. ”

"Just look around. Liu Chunfeng said with a smile.

"Oh?" Xu Sanjin realized that people were all gathered in groups of three or five, and after a closer look, it turned out that they were all playing chess and watching chess.

"You and I will play the next game first. At this time, a chessboard had appeared on the table, and there were two more boxes of chess pieces on both sides.

"Okay," Xu Sanjin said helplessly.

To be honest, it's not that Xu Sanjin's chess skills are bad, it's just that he doesn't like to play chess. It's not a contradiction, it's like you ask those who are good at learning who are born with a love of learning.

"Virtuous brother first, please" Liu Chunfeng was very interested.

Xu Sanjin took the first step stupidly.

"Playing the starting spirit, how can you be in this state when you are in a chess game. Liu Chunfeng frowned and said.

"It's not for me to participate. Xu Sanjin thought secretly in his heart.

"I'm going here. Liu Chunfeng said with a smile.

At this time, the two of you and I walked step by step, maybe the two were not regular visitors, nor were they celebrities, and there were very few onlookers.

Xu Sanjin secretly complained in his heart, he knew that he wouldn't come to play chess, at this time, basking in the sun, chopping wood, anyway, doing anything is more comfortable than playing chess.

The victory slowly tilted to one side, but Liu Chunfeng was not happy, he felt that Xu Sanjin was coping with things, obviously coping, how could he let him participate in the chess game.

"Brother Xu, let's make a bet, how about it?

"What kind of bet?" asked Xu Sanjin lazily.

"If I lose, give you ten taels of silver, and if you lose, give me one tael, how about it?"

"Really?" Xu Sanjin immediately became interested, and his eyes were about to glow.

"A gentleman's words, the horse is difficult to chase. Liu Chunfeng said with a smile, Sample, I finally found your weakness.

"Hey," Xu Sanjin looked at the chess game seriously, "Otherwise, don't forget this game, and start another game." “

"This," Liu Chunfeng said with a smile, "No!"

Now Xu Sanjin is like a hungry baby, suddenly saw his mother, rushed forward desperately, he took out the state of playing chess with his junior brother, no, it was the most serious time in his life.

Liu Chunfeng sees it in his eyes and is happy in his heart, not afraid that you will go crazy, not afraid that you will not be crazy.

At this time, the contest between the two officially began.

Xu Sanjin's chess style has always been like an old cow plowing the field, the initial momentum is violent, but there is no stamina in the later stage, which is diametrically opposed to Ouyang Wuji, but this time, Xu Sanjin is like a born calf, the born calf is not afraid of tigers, even if the opposite side is a tiger with teeth and claws, so what!

Liu Chunfeng didn't give him the opportunity to rampage, he had lived in the palace for many years, and he studied chess when he had nothing to do, and the chess games in the palace had long been rotted by him, in terms of experience and experience, Xu Sanjin should not be his opponent, but he was surprised to find that Xu Sanjin's attacks were like a tide, wave after wave, and there seemed to be no time to be exhausted.

There are more and more onlookers, three, three, two, two, three or five groups, however, the good quality of the chess players has become reflected, no one has turned their heads and ears, no one has pointed and pointed, they are all quietly watching, they do not seem to be bystanders, but people playing chess, if the opposite person is replaced by himself, can he catch wave after wave of attacks or can easily turn the power of a thousand jun into the invisible between talking and laughing?

No one knows, after all, this chess game belongs to two people, and whether they win or lose has nothing to do with them, what is related to them is only praise and regret.

Liu Chunfeng is getting happier and happier, he hasn't played chess like this for a long time, and most of the people who play chess with him know his identity, so how can he do his best? And this time, he saw a strong fighting spirit in Xu Sanjin's eyes, a kind of perseverance that refused to admit defeat, he would meet a good talent, meet an opponent in chess, Liu Chunfeng's heart beat so fast, he didn't expect Xu Sanjin's chess skills to be so exquisite, although not as good as himself, but not too bad, if he is carefully instructing one or two, it is not impossible to win the chess game, the more he thinks about it, the more excited he becomes, he has never been so close to his dream, so real, he clenched his hands, in the eyes of outsiders, he thought he was nervous.

The two were playing a game, and they only heard one voice: Straight lady thief, you little guy dare to bully me. People followed the prestige, and it turned out that there was a strong man in the Taibai Restaurant carrying Xiao Er and asking: "You are also wine, it is clearly water." "This strong man is eight feet tall and dressed in military uniform, but his face is full of alcohol, and he is full of energy when he speaks.

Liu Chunfeng frowned, and said secretly in his heart, if he doesn't come sooner or later, he has to come at this time.

Du Fu Teahouse and Taibai Restaurant are only one street apart, and the two shopkeepers are actually one person, occupying the name of the poet and the poet.

I saw a group of people surrounding the drunk man, but the big man didn't care, "I'm not afraid of hundreds of thousands of Huns, I'm afraid of waiting for the night mouse", the strong man picked up the wine jug and poured the wine into his mouth.

"Damn, let's go up and hit him. "These people are afraid of the momentum of the big man, but they are still afraid of the shopkeeper's punishment on them, so they can only bite the bullet.

"Stop, give me a retreat. A veiled woman shouted, not loudly, but everyone stepped aside. Looking at its concave and convex figure, it should be the color of the country and the city.

"You're the shopkeeper?" the drunk didn't care so much, "Why do you guys sell fake wine?" he said, hooking the jug with one finger and said drunkly.

"Look at the guest officer's dress, he should be a frontier guard, so he will work hard for you to work hard for the world, come to someone, and bring the daughter of Xijiao, Hong, to an altar. "Although the woman is a daughter, she is also bold and abnormal.

"Shopkeeper, you see this person is in tatters, I guess it's nothing...."Xiao Er next to him whispered.

"Presumptuous. The woman said angrily, "Without them fighting bloodily on the battlefield, how could there be a peaceful world, this wine, I invite." After speaking, he turned around and sat down opposite the drunk, and said with a charming smile: "Do you mind if I sit here?"

"The world is peaceful," the drunk man obviously ignored the female shopkeeper sitting opposite, "Is the world still peaceful?" Hahaha, the drunk man suddenly laughed, and drank all the wine in the cup.

"What, I'm not right?" asked the woman softly.

"Yes, yes, that's right, hahaha, I thought I was just a Hanako, hahaha. The drunk laughed.

"Why did the general say that?" the woman frowned.

"Don't call me a general, I Wang Han can't afford it, I'm sorry for those dead brothers, and I'm even more sorry for who I swear to chase my brother, I hit the package ticket, and they will all come back alive. Speaking of this, Dahan's voice choked. He seemed to see vivid faces, "General, I will go home to marry after this battle" "General, my wife gave birth to a big fat boy for me." "General, if I have three long and two short, I will ask the general to give my parents the military salary" "General...."Wang Han didn't dare to think down, he was afraid, he dared to stand alone in the enemy army, and he was not afraid of people like powerful people, but this time, he was afraid....

"Is the general the spear king in the clouds who defeated the 100,000 army in the clouds and defeated the 300,000 Huns iron cavalry?" the woman asked as she couldn't suppress the excitement in her heart.

"Don't dare to be, to be honest, I'm just called Hanako now, and I don't even want to pay for the wine. The drunk laughed at himself helplessly.

"The general's words can be tormenting the concubine's body. The woman smiled gracefully, General Wang came to my restaurant to give me Wu Niang's face, he turned around and ordered: "In the future, General Wang will come for free." “

Wang Han was angry in his heart at this time, and he was not as angry as he was just now, but he couldn't talk about how happy he was, Wu Niang poured him a glass of wine, he didn't look at it, and drank it all.

"The general is so courageous. Wu Niang praised on the side.

"What's the use of courage? The army is still waiting for me to pay my brothers. Wang Han sighed, a penny is difficult for a hero, the water is more flowing when he draws a knife, and he is even more sad when he raises a glass to pour his sorrows.

"The imperial court doesn't care? For such a big battle in the clouds, doesn't the imperial court reward you?" Wu Niang said angrily.

"Imperial court, I was almost arrested and sent to Dali Temple as a guest just now!" Wang Han smiled bitterly, he was very confused now, he didn't know what he was fighting this battle for?

"Come, don't mention those, there is wine today and drunk today, and the little woman toasts the general with a glass. The woman bowed.

"Okay, don't mention it, I'm a sinner anyway, so why don't you do it sooner or later. Wang Han was also very arrogant at this time.

"Take another altar, and General Wang and I will not get drunk and return. Wu Niang turned around and ordered.

"Okay, don't get drunk and don't go home. Wang Han went down with another glass.

A man and a woman drank in public, without discrimination, without sarcasm, and with just sympathy and appreciation. The world will eventually give homeless people a warm harbor, maybe just a short stay, but it is enough.

The person watching the chess couldn't help but curse in a low voice, and the person next to him tugged at the corner of his clothes.

"If there is anything you dare not say, it is faint. Xu Sanjin said loudly, "Loyal and good people are forced to do this, they can only use wine to drown their sorrows, and I don't think there is much wealth at the feet of the Son of Heaven, but it is a place to hide filth and dirt, Brother Liu, what do you say." ”

Liu Chunfeng's expression was extremely unnatural, his face was red and white for a while, and he suddenly heard Xu Sanjin calling him, "Hmm, what's the matter?"

"What's wrong with you, let me ask you if the emperor is a faint monarch?" Xu Sanjin repeated.

"Probably, maybe he didn't know about it. Liu Chunfeng tried his best to be calm, and he also tried his best to find a reason.

"Fart! He's the emperor, he doesn't know who knows! Even the meritorious ones don't let go, I don't think the world will be around for a long time. ”

"Presumptuous," Liu Chunfeng shouted, he immediately realized that he had lost his temper, "Brother Xu is serious, I think the court must have a hard time." “

One of the people next to him couldn't help it: "What is the relationship between the emperor and you, and you want to defend him like this?"

As soon as this remark came out, someone immediately echoed it: "Last month, a noble concubine spent half of the silver taels of the national treasury on her birthday. ”

"That's it, the border soldiers have no money to be compassionate, I think those imperial relatives should be arrested and the silver handed over to the treasury..."

At this time, everyone talked about it word by word, since this chess game is an interesting start, who cares if it will be finished?

Liu Chunfeng no longer has a trace of wanting to go down, he just wants to leave here as soon as possible, "Brother Xu, I feel a little uncomfortable and leave." “

"It doesn't matter to you," Xu Sanjin asked kindly, in fact, this sentence was redundant, and Liu Chunfeng had already rushed out of the door.

Scattered, since there are fewer people to play, there are fewer onlookers, teahouses, restaurants have returned to calm, restored to the same prosperity as ever, who cares about everyone's feelings, just like who cares about everyone's life and death. All that was left was the bleakness of the bustle and noise.
