Out of Yuanmen

There is a bookstore in Huajing that sells some ancient chess records and precious endgames.

Cun Tianyi was holding a wine gourd in one hand, and was reading "Tian Jian Pu" in the other.

Today's weather is not so good, originally the sky was blue, but it began to rain in the afternoon.The owner of the bookstore originally bought a batch of newly collected ancient books, but after waiting for a long time, only one guest, Cun Tianyi, came in.After a while, an old man walked up to the study with an umbrella, and saw Cun Tianyi at a glance.

"Master Cun." The old man put away his umbrella and put it in front of the study door, and bowed his hands to Cun Tian one by one, "Are you all right?"

Cun Tianyi closed the chess record in his hand with a "snap", and returned the gift with a smile: "Master Wang."

The name of this old man was Wang Kang, he was the censor of the left deputy capital of the current dynasty, and he was regarded as the spokesperson of Qian Zhaoyang's party.Cun Tianyi is a lower rank than him, and the two of them rarely interact with each other, but they are not humble.Cun Tianyi's temper is known to the entire Huajing official circles, so Wang Kang didn't care, he just said with a smile: "I've never seen Master Cun in this store, but I've heard about Master Cun's love of chess for a long time."

"Where, I made Mr. Wang laugh at you." Cun Tian said, "Mr. Wang has played a draw with Fan Ruozhuo before. If you want to have superb chess skills, would you like to discuss a game?"

Wang Kang thought for a moment, then nodded: "Of course I would. Boss, take a chessboard—"

"Master Wang misunderstood." Cun Tianyi waved his hand, "I am not the one who wants to play this round with you—"

Wang Kang showed a puzzled look.

Cun Tianyi said slowly, "He's my disciple, Yun Shugui."

"Nineteen paths vertically and horizontally, the world is a plate, and the masters are chess. My lord, do you dare to fight?"

Wang Kang's face was serious, and he was about to speak when he saw the shopkeeper of the bookstore stand up from the counter and opened the curtain separating the inner room.Cun Tianyi squinted his eyes and made a "please" gesture.

Wang Kang paused.Originally, he was still a little at a loss for what Cun Tianyi said, but when he heard this sentence, he thought about it.

"Master Cun, when did you stare at me?"

Cun Tianyi smiled slightly: "From the beginning."

Wang Kang rubbed the center of his brows, and smiled wryly as if accepting his fate: "At my age, I don't want to step into the muddy water. Now, I have to be respectful rather than obedient."

He straightened his back and walked straight into the room.Cun Tianyi muttered behind him: "It's really unpleasant."

The shopkeeper put down the curtain, turned around, walked quickly to Cun Tianyi's side, and said in a low voice, "Sir, Fourth Master Yun is back."

Cun Tianyi rolled his eyes: "He's back, what's the matter? He hasn't been weaned yet, do you want me to go out of the city to pick him up?"

The shopkeeper: "..." Why is this master so angry today.

Cun Tian said in a fit of anger: "My apprentice is playing with Wang Kang inside, but I can't watch the chess, let Yun Baisheng roll over by himself."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was the sound of creaking and shaking of wood above his head.Then a figure came down from the second floor and looked at Cun Tianyi with a half-smile.

This man looked about forty or so, dressed in a crimson bunt, with two swords on his waist, and had a handsome appearance.

As soon as Cun Tian saw him, he gritted his teeth and said, "Yun Baisheng, you're messing with me."

"How dare I let your old man pick it up." Yun Baisheng emphasized the pronunciation of the word "old man", and made a provocative expression.

Cun Tianyi laughed instead: "Good boy, grandpa will give you lucky money during the Chinese New Year."

Now Changyun Baisheng grinds his teeth.

The swordsman contemplated for a long time, and finally said: "I want 1000 taels."

Shopkeeper: "..."

He felt very tired watching Mr. Cun fight with Fourth Master Yun every day.Who knows why these two outstanding characters would fight each other as soon as they met, and the fight was extremely unskilled.Probably because Mr. Cun is boring, after all Mr. Cun can quarrel with anyone.

After Cun Tianyi and Yun Baisheng finished "exchanging pleasantries", Yun Baisheng took Cun Tianyi up to the second floor, pointed to the ground mysteriously and said: "I poked two holes here, if you are worried , you can watch it here."

Cun Tianyi glanced at the ground with disgust: "The old man is a fastidious person, not the same as you warriors—"

Yun Baisheng interrupted him: "Listen to your farting, whether you like it or not."

"look look look."

As a result, there were two more people lying on their stomachs on the ground on the second floor of the bookstore, pushing each other to avoid skin-to-skin contact.

……

In the room on the first floor, the chess game between Yun Shugui and Wang Kang has already begun.Yun Shu returned to Zhibaizi first.At this moment, on the chessboard, there are five in the east and nine in the south, five in the east and twelve in the south, eight in the west and ten in the south, and nine in the west and ten in the south. Four pieces have already been placed.

Yun Shugui sat on the stage, his eyes were steady, and he hardly needed any time to think about the move.Whenever Wang Kang's sunspot falls, Baizi falls with a "pop".

At the beginning, Wang Kang was not slow to settle.But after taking a few more moves, the speed of his moves gradually slowed down, and gradually sweat began to break out on his forehead.The speed at which Yun Shu returned to his son remained the same, and comparing the two, he seemed more composed.

Yun Baisheng didn't understand the six arts of a gentleman, so he nudged Cun Tianyi with his elbow, and said in a low voice, "What kind of situation is this?"

Cun Tian replied: "The two sides are evenly matched, but it's the first move that wins. Wang Kang's every step is under his guidance, and it will be a matter of time before he loses."

Yun Baisheng let out a "huh": "It's amazing."

Cun Tian said: "Of course, this is my apprentice."

Yun Baisheng said dissatisfied: "My apprentice is also very good, why are you so proud?"

Cun Tianyi laughed at him unabashedly: "Your apprentice? Does Yu Ling admit that he is your apprentice?"

When the two of them were whispering and comparing their apprentices here, Wang Kang suddenly started talking.Yun Baisheng made a "shh" gesture, calmed down, and put his ear to the ground.

I only heard Wang Kang ask: "Nephew Yunxian, I have a doubt in my heart."

Yun Shu returned, "Please."

"Forgive me for being blunt. My nephew is not a member of the officialdom, and I can't give you any advice on academic articles. What exactly are you trying to do in today's game of chess?"

Yun Shu returned: "The chess game is not over yet."

Wang Kang sighed: "I have already lost. My nephew was famous in Huajing for his theories and strategies when he was young. I didn't expect that he didn't show his edge for many years. It turned out that he was hiding his strength and biding his time."

Yun Shugui seemed to be taken aback, and said with a wry smile, "It's because Shugui was too complacent when he was young."

With a crisp sound, Wang Kang made another move.

Wang Kang continued: "The Yun family has always had this kind of integrity, otherwise they wouldn't have ended up... Sigh, I'm tired of hearing these four words. It's a pity that people have to bow their heads under the eaves."

"Looking at my nephew's style of chess, I already have a rough guess. You take one step, but you have to look at a hundred moves. You have already thought about the last move, right?" Wang Kang shook his head, "If I guessed correctly , You challenged me as soon as the imperial decree came down, and you were afraid that you would use me to speak in the court, didn't you?"

"Not all of them." Yun Shugui replied, as before.

Wang Kang thought for a long time this time, and then took another step: "In order to save the rest, turn around the Northwest War."

"Yes, not all of them. In my humble opinion, although Mr. Wang has many concerns in his actions, he will not do things that will add insult to injury to Zhongliang."

long silence.

Wang Kang did not answer directly, and continued: "If it is for the war in the northwest, then you must consider the Shen family's iron cavalry. For the war, soldiers and horses, food, weapons, etc. You came to me, and it was for the future water transportation."

"Yes."

"For wartime water transportation, you also want the help of Qian Dang."

With a sound of "pa", Cun Tian saw that the black side's situation was over, and it was already a candle in the wind.

Wang Kang nodded: "You are right. By recruiting me, the boat to Shoufu is the fastest. But have you ever thought about whether I would like to be your stepping stone?"

Yun Shu returned with a humble and gentle smile: "I have read all of Mr. Wang's early articles. A fool who sees nothing in the world thinks that the accident happened out of nowhere... Every word is a pearl, penetrating into it."

Wang Kang smiled sincerely this time: "I didn't expect the article written by the Yun family to be read by Qilin'er when I was young and frivolous. I feel ashamed."

"Nephew Yunxian." Wang Kang straightened his face, and dropped his son, "To be honest, I, Mr. Wang, are indeed concerned about the war, but the emperor suppressed generals and degenerated civil servants. I can't do anything about it. I can't help you with the affairs of the court. There are too many. As for Mr. Shoufu, I can't promise you anything, his thoughts are not something any of us can guess."

"However, I am willing to speak up at the right time." Wang Kang continued, "If no one does something, it does not mean it is wrong. If we lose this battle again, I dare say that the Yong Dynasty will perish in ten years!"

"Snapped!"

Yun Shugui gave birth to his last son.The black Fang Dalong was slaughtered and was powerless.

Yun Shugui looked at the solemn Wang Kang and shook his head slowly.The young man in green shirt stretched out his hand, and his slender fingers made a "three".

He said: "It doesn't take ten years. The Tianguan is broken, and the Qiang people will die within three years."

"Master Wang, I have accepted it."

He stood up, bowed to Wang Kang, and walked away.

The author has something to say:

I didn't write the kind of intense you-come-and-me-speaking argument that I wanted... These two days I've been catching up with the final homework, and the update may be a little less, sorry everyone!
