After the Destiny Child was reborn

"Nian'er... there are not many servants left in the mansion now, can you find someone to serve after you survive?" the woman begged while holding his hand.

This time, Zheng Nian didn't smile, he pushed the woman's hand away, and sat on the couch, without any intention of agreeing, he gestured:

This is the last time to play chess, if you don't let me play chess, I will not go out even if I die.

Imperial Physician Zheng looked at the woman inquiringly, seeking her opinion.

After the woman was startled, she had no choice but to nod weakly, "Call all the servants to the front yard."

"Alas..." Imperial Physician Zheng pushed the door open with heavy steps, and looked back at Zheng Nian, with a helpless expression on his skinny yellow face.

After leaving the house, he looked up at the pitch-black sky, "I did it myself."

Zheng Nian smiled with satisfaction, as if nothing happened just now.

The woman took the clothes from the shelf from the side, helped Zheng Nian up, and put on the clothes for him herself, "It's cold outside, Nian'er wears more."

As she spoke, Madam Zheng raised her hand and caressed his face.

Zheng Nian's body smelled of traditional Chinese medicine. He drank traditional Chinese medicine for three meals a day, and occasionally ate cakes bought for him by the doctor Zheng when he came back from the palace at night. Due to lack of nutrition, his face was haggard like an old man. , the two cheekbones are very prominent, and there is no flesh on the face.

This made Mrs. Zheng feel more and more distressed as she looked at him. The hands touching his face trembled, tears flowed from the sockets of her eyes again, and the bags under her eyes became more and more swollen. "My thoughts..."

After Zheng Nian tied up the jade belt, he pushed Mrs. Zheng out of the room, impatiently heading to the front yard.

Well, there were a few dull thunders from the sky, and the deep voice seemed to be stuck in the throat, as if to say or not.

The wind also started to howl, the leaves fell all over the ground, and the wind and dust swirled in the air, blowing people so hard that they couldn't keep their eyes open, and they had to use more energy to speak.

Mrs. Zheng and Zheng Nian were walking through a long corridor. Zheng Nian was wearing a loose black robe, and the wind kept getting in, making the whole robe bulge.

"Nian'er, after you survive, don't play chess anymore, okay? Let our ancestors accumulate some virtue." Mrs. Zheng's voice was much drowned out by the wind, like the faint candlelight in the room that would go out at any time.

Zheng Nian didn't answer, he stood still, took off his robe, and put it on Mrs. Zheng.Then he walked resolutely to the front yard.

All the servants and guards in the mansion had gathered in the front yard, and they all stood neatly in a square formation.

A few servants didn't know whether it was the cold weather or fear of what would happen next, their teeth were chattering, and their upper and lower teeth knocked together uncontrollably.

"Tonight is the last time Nian'er plays chess, and it is also the last time you suffer. Our Zheng family has treated you badly. If we are lucky enough to meet again in Huangquan in the future, our Zheng family will be willing to serve you as an ox or a horse." Imperial Physician Zheng Standing at the front and shouting loudly, his whole body showed the passionate aura of an autumn soldier on the battlefield, which did not match his thin and goat-like physique.

Several slaves cried out one after another, the voice was quiet at first, but then the emotion became deep, as if the rain was falling too hard and couldn't stop it.

The cries were contagious in the crowd, but Imperial Physician Zheng didn't stop him, and stretched out his hand to summon a guard, who was holding a tray full of gleaming daggers.

On the roof tiles that they couldn't see, many men in black had already pulled out their swords neatly. Three parts of the swords were out of the scabbard, and the cold light of the swords left outside was shining.

"Master?" One turned to look at the master next to him, waiting for his order.

"Don't worry, observe the situation first." Song Xiang's eyes fell on Zheng Nian, and his eyes flashed fiercely.

The people around put away their swords first, and the others were ordered to put their swords back into their scabbards in an extremely fast manner.

Song Xiang whispered in his subordinate's ear: "After the people led by Lin Taiwei come in, take the initiative to cooperate with Lin Taiwei's instructions. Have you seen that person? He must die. This person is treacherous and cunning. Knowing that he should not If you know something, you must not let him escape." Song Xiang pointed to the thin man with disheveled hair.

"it is good."

The guard who was holding a dagger beside Imperial Doctor Zheng distributed the dagger to everyone in the queue.

Most of the servants took the dagger tremblingly, waiting for a fight.Many of them don't want to take the dagger.

But if you don't pick up the dagger, you won't even have the hope of the last life. Although many people know that no matter what they do tonight, the Zheng family will not be able to escape, including Mr. Zheng, who treats people like chess pieces inhumanely. It won't be long to be arrogant.

Zheng Nian walked to the front of the queue, counting the number of people in his heart from left to right.

He hasn't been out of the house for more than three years, and what he does all day is to play chess on the chessboard. As time goes by, playing chess on the chessboard is no longer interesting to him. When Zheng Nian was bored, he thought of the following game with artificial chess pieces , Playing is much more exciting than a chessboard.

Zheng Nian stretched out his arms, signaling the subordinates to disperse, and asked the subordinates to divide into two teams, with the rockery in the center as the center.

After the people saw it, they quickly divided into two teams from the middle.The two teams retreated to the back, with a large distance between them.

When Zheng Nian counted again, he saw that there was an extra guard behind him. Backgammon needed 30 people, and each side needed 15 people.

He pulled the guard over and let him sit on a wooden bench beside him.A table and two small stools were set up next to the team, a chessboard was placed on the wooden table, and there were a few dice on the chessboard, and a servant bent over the table and held a lantern to illuminate it.

The guards at the back seemed to have been pardoned, and their legs no longer trembled with tension.

Mr. Zheng is calling himself an opponent, playing chess with him.

If you are not in the team, you can dominate other people's lives, move these people like chess pieces, and when your own chess piece eats the opponent's chess piece, that person will kill the person who is the eaten chess piece and replace him.

The ultimate goal is to move one's own pieces out of the board, and the one who moves out first wins.

When Zheng Nian plays chess with others, the outcome is often determined in one game. Those who survive to the end and belong to the winning side will get a lot of money, which is equivalent to their one-year salary. The losing side will be killed by Zheng Nian himself.

The side that wins in the end is often Zheng Nian's side, but it's a pity that as pawns, they don't have the right to choose which side to stand on, they can only stand aside and let others choose.

Zheng Gongzi's game made some people excited and many people's heart palpitations.

Almost ready, Zheng Nian nodded and clapped his hands to show that they did a good job.

There were several thunderclaps, mixed with lightning, and the wind and rain were about to come.

The lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating the pale faces of the girls and Zheng Nian's pale face. The corners of his mouth were deeply curved, and the girls cried even more when they saw it.

A few girls saw their companions crying, glanced at them with disgust, and waved their daggers in front of them, "Why are you crying? You're useless! Think about how much money you'll get if you win!"

Zheng Nian has seen this kind of situation a lot, and it's not surprising.He sat down on the small stool, rolled the dice first, and the dice rolled a few times before stopping, revealing the number five.

Zheng Nian put the dice in front of the guard and watched him shake it.

The guard shook three.

Those with the most points can choose their team first.

Zheng Nian chose the people on his side.

He clapped his hands twice, making everyone look at him:

The game has begun.

A thunderbolt strikes untimely.A few branches of a thick old tree in the small courtyard were broken by the wind and then struck by lightning, and just fell to the ground. The dull air still smelled of burnt.

Many people were frightened, whispering sarcastic remarks and complaining.

Under the eaves, Mrs. Zheng took a thick fleece sweater from the room and walked towards Zheng Nian. She gently put the sweater on him, "Nian'er, it's cold, don't stay too long."

Zheng Nian nodded, and after tightening his clothes, he held Madam Zheng's hand to reassure her.

Mrs. Zheng looked back at the servants who were standing neatly, she couldn't bear it, but after seeing Zheng Nian's smiling face, the unbearable faded away like a cloud of smoke.

She turned her head and walked into the house, not wanting to look at the chess game behind her.

Imperial Physician Zheng sighed, followed Mrs. Zheng into the room.

Zheng Nian threw two dice at the same time. The sound of the dice turning on the table made everyone feel anxious. From now on, none of the servants felt cold anymore. They listened attentively to the sound of the dice and waited. Zheng Nian dispatched.

For the side chosen by Zheng Nian, they were mostly looking forward to it. Some people who bullied them were on the opposite side. Anyway, it was the last time. Since their side is destined to win, why not take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of them quickly?

From the other side's point of view, they are hopeless for victory, but the final result is still the same. The whole Zheng's mansion has the same ending. Why don't you try it yourself and truly experience the fun that Mr. Zheng said all day long? .

The dice stopped, and Zheng Nian pondered for a while, thinking about how to do the first step.

After thinking about it, he stretched out his palm, and the five fingers changed. The numbers represented by the fingers represented the position of each person in the queue. Every time he designated a person, that person would move a few steps according to his instructions.

It was the guard's turn to roll the dice.The guard threw it casually, and one of the two dice rolled to the ground, and finally stopped. The guard picked it up and took a look, directing his team without thinking, "The third one on the right row, take four steps, then take two more steps." .”

The chess game between the two sides is still going on. On the way of the two teams, a "chess piece" that was eaten appeared early on, and that piece belonged to the guard's side.

Zheng Nian waved to an attendant, pointed to the chess piece lying in the middle, and gestured:

Throw away the useless chess, don't get in the way.

The attendant got the order, and dragged the little girl's body covered in blood with a pained face to the tree.

There was a big pit under the tree, several feet deep. He skillfully threw the man into it, stood aside, quietly waiting for a useless chess.

The thunder is rolling, and the wind is blowing sand and rocks.

The rain is falling like beans, the wind is whistling in the ears, and it hurts people's faces, the tears are mixed with the rain, and it is impossible to tell who is who, and the wind is pouring into the ears, and it is even more difficult to hear clearly up.

When Mrs. Zheng heard that it was raining, she came out of the house, took a small umbrella, and brought it to Zheng Nian through the rain.

Zheng Nian took the umbrella and watched Mrs. Zheng throw the umbrella to the servant who was desperately trying not to let the lantern get wet after she entered the house. He gestured:

Protect the lantern and don't get it wet.

The boy bent down to take the umbrella and nodded.

The chess game was not interrupted by the rain, the players couldn't see clearly, and the players didn't know how they moved.

Zheng Nian discovered that more and more chess pieces were taken between the two sides.

The blood on the ground was washed by the rain to his and the guard's feet.

Judging from his style of play, there would never be so many chess pieces that were captured. One thing that is certain now is that these people have completely disobeyed his command.

Zheng Nian was not angry, this was exactly what he wanted.

"Why isn't Lieutenant Lin here yet?" Song Xiang wiped the rain from his face on the roof tiles.

"Would you like to go down and have a look?" the person next to him suggested.

"Go."
