Xie Jiayao has been paying attention to Xiao Beiyou's conversation with her grandfather, she noticed that Guo Songtao and Xiao Beiyou are becoming more and more involved in playing chess, and their conversation is becoming more and more tacit, she is very happy about this, she looks at her mother and smiles sweetly at his mother.

Guo Huizhi understands that her daughter is happy with her father's increasingly friendly and intimate relationship with Xiao Beiyou.

Guo Huizhi said: "Daughter, don't worry, Beiyou and your grandfather get along better and better, you just heard, Beiyou knows chess very well, some of his insights even surprise your grandfather, his insight has been praised by your grandfather, you can rest assured, Beiyou is a rare young hero in today's martial arts, although your grandfather is old, but he is still very keen, he will definitely be able to see Beiyou's outstanding talent." ”

"Mother, my daughter is worried that Beiyou is too straightforward, sometimes twisted, it will contradict my grandfather, fortunately, so far, he still respects my grandfather very much, the two of them talk and laugh, the relationship is very harmonious, and my daughter is happy. Xie Jiayao said.

"Daughter, do you think Beiyou is so stupid? He only looks a little stupid in front of you, on other occasions, he is very smart, not stupid at all, you see, he will please your grandfather, he is very wise. Guo Huizhi said.

"It's his personality is very similar to my grandfather, the two of them are easy to communicate, don't look at my grandfather sometimes like an old naughty boy, in fact, he has a clear mind and keen observation, he will definitely be able to see the advantages of Beiyou, just now, my grandfather and Beiyou are very excited to play chess, it seems that my grandfather has begun to like him. Xie Jiayao said.

"Daughter. You have been indulging in love, more is to see the Beiyou love you aspect, in fact, the ability of the Beiyou is much higher than you know, after the Beiyou from the Hanging Temple, has become a rare master of today's martial arts, he is wise and brave, handling things steadily, and advancing and retreating. When you get compliments. He knows humility in front of his elders. He is very polite, he can keep silent all the time when he should not be in charge, and he will show it without hesitation when he can show it. Much like your father when he was younger. And. Beiyou is still very heroic than your father when he was younger, so your grandfather will definitely like him very much. Guo Huizhi said.

Mother said. The daughter can understand, in fact, as soon as we come to the Guo Mansion, my grandfather will know in his heart, he knows that you will not come to the Guo Mansion with a strange man with your daughter, doesn't he sometimes deliberately make fun of his daughter during the conversation, he already understands our intentions, he is now playing chess with Beiyou, not just playing chess and playing, but while playing chess, while inspecting Beiyou, maybe, he is already looking for his apprentice, hehe!" Xie Jiayao said happily.

"Your grandfather is very shrewd, he played chess with Beiyou this time, of course, he was not just playing chess, in fact, before playing chess, he asked Beiyou to go to the study to move the chess table, and began to test Beiyou, the chess table is iron chestnut wood, very heavy, he deliberately asked Beiyou to move it from the study to the dining room, it was intended to test Beiyou's strength. Now, he is playing chess to test the wisdom of Beiyou, and at the same time he is discussing the way of using soldiers with Beiyou, the chessboard is like a battlefield, and the art of war is contained in the theory of chess, with the help of chess, your grandfather and Beiyou talk about chess theory, talk about the art of war, is to test Beiyou's knowledge and strategy, this, Beiyou should also know, Beiyou's cleverness lies in the fact that he respects your grandfather, is very modest, very polite, and at the same time, he can also very skillfully say his new insights in a consultative tone, this way of expression, your grandfather is very fond of it, so, from the content of their conversation, tone and expression, your grandfather has regarded Beiyou as a bosom friend and chess friend, your grandfather has rich battlefield experience and political experience, his observation is very strong, Beiyou's ability, he can't not see it, he was so excited when he talked to Beiyou, which shows that your grandfather already appreciates Beiyou, and what you planned with me before coming to Guo's Mansion will definitely be done. Guo Huizhi carefully analyzed it to Xie Jiayao.

Xie Jiayao was very happy to hear this, she walked to the place where Guo Songtao and Xiao Beiyou were playing chess, and said to Guo Songtao: "Good grandfather, you have to be merciful, don't kill the guests' chess pieces without leaving a piece of armor, you have to save some face for others." ”

"Your grandfather never cheats when playing chess, he will not show mercy, it is useless for his granddaughter to beg, the game on the chessboard, you must come up with real kung fu, not perfunctory, however, you can rest assured, Beiyou's chess skills are not weak, your grandfather has no ability to kill his chess pieces, just now, he almost defeated your grandfather, so, you will not lose face, don't feel too sorry for him, use soldiers on the chessboard, Beiyou is experienced, he can attack and defend, win but not arrogant, defeat but not discouraged, very general's demeanor, meet Beiyou, your grandfather is really a chess opponent。 Guo Songtao said with a smile.

"General Guo and Beiyou play chess, in fact, they are teaching Beiyou chess methods and chess theory, Beiyou is like a student, and General Guo is like a teacher, students are in front of teachers, there is no such thing as having face, Beiyou can have the opportunity to learn from General Guo, it is already very lucky, Beiyou and General Guo play chess very happily, you don't have to worry. Xiao Beiyou knew that she was worried that Beiyou was in a hurry to play chess and would argue with her grandfather, so Beiyou deliberately said, "You don't have to worry."

Xiao Beiyou and Guo Songtao continued to play a few more games of chess, and the result was that Xiao Beiyou won one game and drew one game, and Guo Songtao's chess skills were slightly higher and won three games. Xiao Beiyou was very satisfied with the results of such a competition, and he felt that such a result was the most appropriate.

Xiao Beiyou thought: "I came to Guo's Mansion as a guest, and the guest can't help but give face to the host, and play against General Guo, I can't beat him in a game, in fact, I don't have this ability." Of course, I can't win a game, if I lose all the games, General Guo will think that when I meet an opponent with very poor chess skills, the competition will not be interesting, so three defeats, one draw and one win, such a result is the most ideal. ”

After five games of the game, Guo Songtao said happily: "Beiyou, the old man didn't expect your chess skills to be so good, the old man thought that he could win three games in a row, and then he went to drink tea, and while drinking tea, he told you chess and chess theory, but I didn't expect that it was not easy for the old man to beat you, and you also know a lot of chess theory, and can connect chess theory with the art of war, and Confucianism." Today I played chess very happily, now, the old man is a little tired, you should also go and rest, after a while, I will ask the housekeeper to take you to the lodging to rest, now, you and my granddaughter go to her mother to talk, wait for the housekeeper to come. ”

"Thank you, General Guo, for your thoughtful arrangements, you have come to Guo Mansion to make trouble for you. I'm really sorry!" Xiao Bei lobbied.

"No need to be polite. The old man likes to talk with young people like you, let's continue to talk tomorrow, the old man has said goodbye, goodbye!" Guo Songtao finished speaking. Turned around and walked away. He still retains his military demeanor. Act quickly and resolutely.

On the second day, Xie Jiayao took Xiao Beiyou to Guo Songtao's study. She said: "Beiyou, my grandfather will come soon, you wait for him here, I will go first, I will accompany my mother to see the rest of the Guo Mansion, I will not accompany you, you can talk to my grandfather well, don't be too tough!"

Xie Jiayao left, and after a while, Guo Songtao came, and as soon as he entered the study, he said, "Beiyou, you have already come, have you been waiting for a long time?"

"Jia Yao just came with her juniors, she left in advance, she didn't wait for a long time, General Guo, please take a seat!" Xiao Bei lobbied.

Guo Songtao sat on the oak chair and said: "Beiyou, the old man now treats you as a good friend, and it can also be said that the two of us have become old friends, can you tell the old man about your previous experience, so that the old man can also know more about you." ”

"Of course, Beiyou became an orphan when he was very young, and it was Fang Liuhe, the head of the Jingshan faction, who brought Beiyou to Bauhinia Mountain, raised Beiyou, and recognized Beiyou as a righteous son, and taught martial arts to Beiyou, so Beiyou has always regarded Fang Zhangmen as the father of regeneration. Xiao Bei lobbied.

"The old man has also heard legends that Fang Liuhe likes children very much, and he rescued many orphans to the mountains to cultivate, educate and train the children, it seems that this is not a legend, but a reality. Guo Songtao said.

"My father-in-law saved a lot of orphans, and when Beiyou grew up, he spent a long time assisting his father-in-law to take care of the children on the mountain, so Beiyou had a ridiculous nickname called 'The Child King', Beiyou was on the mountain at the time, and he played with a large group of children every day, and he was very happy!" Xiao Beiyou said.

"This is quite interesting, in Fang Liuhe's cottage, there is a children's paradise, which is absolutely impossible in other cottages, Fang Liuhe has killed a lot of people before he became famous, and he is very kind when it comes to treating children. Guo Songtao said.

"The father-in-law has always been a bodhisattva to both ladies and children, and the most intolerable thing he can't tolerate is bullying ladies and children, this time he actively supported Murong Daxia to attack the police division, a very important reason is because the people of the police division once pretended to be someone sent by Yashan to bauhinia mountain to kidnap several children, this kind of bad behavior of bullying children made the father-in-law unbearable. Xiao Bei lobbied.

"Your father-in-law loves the child so much, you are his righteous son, he should like you very much, but the old man heard that you were expelled from the mountain gate by him and left the Jingshan faction, why is this?" Guo Songtao asked.

Xiao Beiyou thought for a while and said: "Don't hide it from General Guo, at that time, when Beiyou went to the Hanging Temple, he was ordered by the master to go to the Hanging Temple to follow Lord Xie Jingxi, but the younger generation felt that Lord Xie was a bright and upright knight, and the younger generation couldn't do sneaky things to him, so the junior disobeyed the master's order, did not follow him, and told the truth to Lord Xie, of course, the father-in-law could not tolerate this, and he could not allow his righteous son to take the lead in disobeying the master's order, so Beiyou was expelled from the mountain gate. ”

"It's really difficult for you, you have to talk about morality in the rivers and lakes, act chivalrous and righteous, but also obey the teacher's orders and honor your father-in-law, which puts you in a difficult predicament, in the end, you still choose to give up the tracking of Lord Xie, which is not easy, it seems that you still value 'chivalry' the most in your heart, which is rare. Guo Songtao said appreciatively.

When the younger generation decided to give up following Master Xie on the Hanging Temple, he was in a very painful mood, thinking that he had disobeyed the teacher's order, which was unforgivable, but later encountered a lot of things, and the younger generation felt that the choice at that time was right, so he was expelled from the mountain gate by his father-in-law, and the punishment that the younger generation should bear, so that the younger generation did not expect that there was a strange bell ringer on the Hanging Temple who had been observing the younger generation, perhaps because he saw that the younger generation had a chivalrous heart, so he tried every means to accept Beiyou as an apprentice, Beiyou did not ask for the consent of Master Fang Liuhe at that time, of course, he did not dare to apprentice again, and later, although Beiyou did not formally apprentice, but in his heart he had already put Shi Taosheng, that is, the bell ringer became the master, he sent Beiyou a 'three-edged green steel sword', systematically trained Beiyou, taught Beiyou the exclusive internal strength of the mind, and also taught the swordsmanship of the 'Beiying Easy Sword' to Beiyou, so that the younger generation can have the current martial arts and swordsmanship. Xiao Bei lobbied.

Guo Songtao thought: "The high monk on the Hanging Temple, Silence and the old man are more familiar, how come I have never heard of Shi Taosheng's name, the very inconspicuous old man ringing the bell in the Hanging Temple turned out to be a swordsman with extremely high martial arts, and Beiyou was accepted by him as an apprentice, this table Xie Taosheng saw that Beiyou is a good material for learning martial arts." ”

Thinking about it, Guo Songtao said: "Your senior Shi must have seen that your conditions in all aspects are very suitable for him to choose as an apprentice, so he will try his best to accept you as an apprentice, he has a very keen eye, and he can find your good material for learning martial arts, and you have obtained an unexpected harvest!"

"Looking back now, when Master Shi wanted to take Beiyou as an apprentice, Beiyou was not polite enough to him, and Beiyou regretted it, he was too ignorant at the time. Xiao Bei lobbied.

"Your Master Shi won't blame you, his martial arts and swordsmanship have reached a very high level, he has taken a fancy to you, as long as you learn swordsmanship with him, he will be very happy, he doesn't care about whether you are polite or not, he can hide so deeply in the Hanging Temple, his martial arts cultivation is already beyond the reach of the so-called 'master' in the martial arts, how can he account for a small matter, Beiyou, you are very lucky, you can meet your Master Shi." Guo Songtao said.

"After leaving the Hanging Temple, I thought of Master Shi, and became more and more grateful to him, I didn't think so much when I learned internal skills and swordsmanship from him, and then I slowly realized that Master Shi's kindness to me was too great. Xiao Bei lobbied.

Guo Songtao looked at Xiao Beiyou sternly, and he said: "On Bauhinia Mountain, the head of Fang Liuhe taught you the 'Liuhe Yin Yang Palm'; on the Hanging Temple, the mysterious bell ringer Shi Taosheng taught you the 'Northern Soul Xiaoyao Sword', and now, you have become a first-class master in the martial arts, then, the old man asks you, do you think that what you have learned before is enough? Or, have you ever thought that there are still many aspects that you must continue to learn, what do you think about this kind of question?" (to be continued......)
