Crown Sword

Meng Wanzhi couldn't sit still, so she raised a corner of the curtain of the car, pointed at her with an angry look, and wanted to send someone to chase her away: "Since this young master asked the Patriarch about chess, he should ask Linchuan. This is my concubine returning to her mother's house..."

As she spoke, she commanded the guards of the Meng Mansion to step forward.

At the very moment, an old voice sounded from inside the car, interrupting her words: "Wanzhi, present it."

"Homeowner!"

"Bring it up."

Although Meng Wanzhi was absolutely unwilling, she still did so, took a pen and paper, copied a copy of the chess game, and handed it in through the car window along with the purple gold hand stove for warming her hands.Yan Chuihong hugged the blanket, unfolded the scribbled drawing on his knees, glanced at it, and said with a smile: "You didn't come to ask about chess."

A monotone rolled across Chao Chen's throat, and he immediately stood up.

"There is no solution to this chess." Yan Chuihong saw the set position and layout at a glance, pointed to a piece on the picture and clicked, "The black piece will never lose. Although white has the upper hand in the early stage, as long as he is willing to play at the beginning of the middle game It is definitely not the case to score with one ball and break through the opponent. Tell me, why did you come here?"

Yan Yi became anxious: "Patriarch, don't listen to his nonsense."

"Worriless! Be calm and calm, have you forgotten what I taught you since you were a child?" Yan Chuihong couldn't help raising her voice, pointing to Chao Chen outside the car, "Say it!"

Hearing the questioning, Chao Chen's heart felt as if a knife had been twisted in his heart, Yan Yi defended his shortcomings, there was nothing wrong with it, the shameful one was obviously himself, but the arrow was on the string, and he had no choice but to do so.He lowered his head and spit out those two words quickly: "Seek medicine."

"Ask for medicine?"

Yan Chuihong looked at Meng Wanzhi who was beside the car shaft, the latter sighed and wanted to tell what happened last night.

Chao Chen couldn't wait, so he lifted his clothes and strode forward, a little panicked, saying: "No one in the Jianghu knows that Patriarch Yan and his wife are deeply in love with each other. Sitting alone and talking, because he refused to remarry, he resigned from the position of Patriarch. I think, if there is a good medicine at that time, the Patriarch must have gone to heaven and entered the earth to seek it."

Chao Chen paused, lowered his head, and continued, "So am I."

Shaking off these words, he not only laughed at himself as a madman, but also gave birth to a different kind of joy.

Yan Chuihong, who was sitting in the car, was shocked——

He entered Linggu Peak by mistake in his early years, and was trapped by the chess madness Fengsu. It took him 81 days to break ten games of serial chess, and fell in love with his female Feng Wanxiang at first sight.When he went back to the mansion and said he would propose marriage to his mother, he discovered that the old lady had made up her own mind and had already arranged an official marriage for him.

Except for Wanxiang, there is no one good in the world. He refused, and tried every means to obstruct him and went on a hunger strike, but he finally agreed.

It's a pity that the sky doesn't follow people's wishes, but within a year, Feng Wanxiang gave birth to a miscarriage, and since then she has been lingering on the sick bed, and finally died.After losing his wife, he was depressed all day long, restless, and lost his shape. The old lady couldn't stand it anymore, and wanted to talk about marriage again and find someone to take care of him, but was sternly rejected.

In a fit of anger, his mother let her slip the tongue, and only then did he realize that the head mistress also had a share of credit for Feng Wanxiang's death, but what could he do, he was caught in the middle of a dilemma, and finally let go.

The boy in Tsing Yi in front of him said that his score was not bad, if there were gods and Buddhas who could save him at that time, even if he was asked to go up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of ​​fire, he would even trade his life for his life.

It is difficult for people who have not experienced such sorrow and suffering to understand.

Chao Chen clasped his fists and chased after him again: "Patriarch Yan, I'm not trying to take your life away, I just want to teach you the best of both worlds, as long as you are willing to move to the Meng Department, with Cui Tanfeng Cui's doctor acupuncture and medicine, you will be able to preserve both sides! "

Yan Chuihong lightly rubbed his temples, and when he brought up the past, he was saddened and very tired.

Chao Chen lowered his head and clenched his teeth, for fear of hearing him refuse, in that case, this game of chess would really be unsolvable.Gongyangyue is a capricious person, it's hard to tell whether his mind will change when he sleeps, if he wants to survive, maybe he will massacre Yan's family wantonly, and if he makes trouble like that, how many more crimes will be added?All I can do is try my best to erase the worst results.

Neither agreeing nor refusing, Yan Chuihong was silent for a while before opening his mouth: "Who are you who you want to save?"

This question is much simpler than the question just now, but Chao Chen couldn't answer it. He hesitated for a long time: "It's mine..."

Yan Yi rode his horse back to the carriage, and couldn't help interrupting loudly: "Patriarch, the person he wants to save is Gongyangyue! It's Gongyangyue who was cast aside by the righteous way of martial arts!"

"Gongyangyue?" Yan Chuihong murmured to himself, looked down at the chess record on the paper, and then at the man in green shirt in front of the car, his eyes were a little perplexed.

Just when Yan Yi and his wife secretly spread the news and decided to forcibly take the road, Yan Chuihong put the roll of thin paper in the box niche beside him, patted the car wall, and said to Chao Chen: "Things, you can lend them to me." You, but on one condition."

Seeing him waving, Chao Chen walked quickly to the car window and listened attentively.

Yan Chuihong raised the curtain and looked at his face. Although his words were a little airy, his voice sounded like jade: "I, Yan Chuihong, have been sober all my life, and I have two distinctions between good and evil, but what you said really touched my pain, so you simply put it in my mouth." This matter is left to God to decide. Aren’t you good at playing chess? Take your chess and the person you want to save, and see you tomorrow.”

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and ordered Meng Wanzhi: "Turn around, go back!"

Meng Wanzhi's face paled, and Yan Yi's mouth was astringent like coptis, they both wanted to persuade, but Yan Chuihong stopped them, so they couldn't say anything, they just looked gloomy all the way, mostly bored.Accompanied by Chao Chen, they parted ways in front of the inn, and thanked the head of the Yan family repeatedly.

When they returned to Mengzhai, Shuang Li ran into him head-on, his face turned pale, and hurried around looking for clothes.But Chao Chen caught her and asked Gong Yangyue's whereabouts.

"I have something to say." Gong Yangyue poked his head out from the top of the bamboo building with a look of disgust.The stockade is built from a low-lying place on the edge of the mountain, and the main building is at a high position with the best view.Early in the morning there was a lack of people, so he stood on top early. Chao Chen could see clearly when he came back, but when he got closer, he found that the man was disheveled and his eye circles were like the bottom of a cigarette pot. He couldn't help but marvel: "Yo , didn’t sleep most of the night, you look like a ghost, did you steal someone last night?”

Shuang Li picked up a pebble on the spot and threw it on his forehead: "Brother Chao has been drenched in the rain all night, please don't say a few words."

"It doesn't matter to me if he gets in the rain." Gongyangyue muttered, turned around and went down the roof.

Shuang Li was jumping, trying to persuade Chao Chen not to take it to heart, and said that the bastard just broke his mouth like this, just get used to it.Just as he was chattering, he put a piece of blue and black dry cloth over his head to wrap Chao Chen in it.

Chao Chen snatched off the cloth mixed with the fragrance of grass and trees, took a closer look, and saw the red shadow flying around on the house. In the distance, there was a woman leading a few girls, holding a bamboo pole, from east to west. Batou chased him to Xibatou, cursing in Baipu dialect, to the effect that: You son of a bitch, return the new tie-dyed cloth!

There was a lot of commotion, Bai Xinghui and Cui Tanfeng came out of the room, really confused: "What's going on?"

"You return this." Chao Chen folded the black cloth with his arms and handed it to Shuangli, then took a shortcut and blocked Gongyangyue.

Seeing the dripping rain on his hair, Gong Yangyue was not very polite: "Get out of the way."

Chao Chen didn't give way, instead, he stepped forward, grabbed Gong Yangyue's wrist, and pulled him away forcefully.Shuang Li returned the lost property and was apologizing to the girl's family when she heard the commotion and turned her head, almost slipped and fell to the ground: "My dear, brother Chao, did you change your soul?"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Chao Chen pulled Gong Yangyue into his room, and closed the bamboo door heavily with a "click".Then, without waiting for anyone to speak, he lowered his head and removed the bamboo table, put it on the chess table, untied the burden, shook out the chess pieces, and sorted them into two bamboo baskets: "From now on, you have to play chess with me."

Gong Yangyue stepped on the black and white pieces, leaned over and put the back of her hand on Chao Chen's forehead: "Playing chess? Are you in a daze?" Saying this, kicked the pieces away impatiently.

In an instant, chess pieces as crystal as jade fell all over the room.

Hearing the noise, Cui Tanfeng, who was about to push the door, was held back by Bai Xinghui, Shuang Li gave a thumbs up, and then made a gesture of silence, calling for several people to put their ears on the door.

"Yes, play chess." Chao Chen gathered the chess pieces together on the ground, and briefly explained his agreement with Yan Chuihong, "...I think most of them will be considered by chess. The outcome is in the sky, but it is also human-made. I remember There is a saying that Yan Chuihong loved to fight three times in his early years. He won two out of three rounds with different tricks. He didn’t know what the problem was, so he had to deal with it comprehensively. Gongyangyue, whether it’s a handicap or a blind play, I can Go up, but there is a kind of chess, but it is impossible."

"what?"

"Double Chess."

Gong Yangyue looked suspicious, and pinched a child with two fingers: "That's not the case, Yan Chuihong can just refuse directly, why make things difficult for you, a late-born junior?"

"It's not embarrassing," Chao Chen's hands froze, and his expression was very solemn, "When Madam Yan was alive, the two of them fought against each other, and they never lost. After the beauty disappeared, he hasn't played against anyone for more than [-] years. Two-player chess, but I have a feeling that this time I'm afraid there will be a two-player game again."

"What does it have to do with his wife? What did you tell him?"

"Ah?" Thinking of what he said in the morning, Chao Chen blushed, feeling a little embarrassed, and interrupted him urgently: "You don't need to worry about it, anyway, you can't leave any hidden dangers."

Gong Yangyue sat down with folded arms: "Then why me?"

Chao Chen counted a few people: "Doctor Cui can't play chess, who are the rest of you who are good at it? What's more, they invited us to meet, you must come forward, don't be in a hurry to clean it up, I'll give it to you in advance." I asked Shuang Li, and she said you know a little bit."

Gong Yangyue rubbed the chess piece in her palm repeatedly, then suddenly raised her hand and flicked it, and it got stuck in the crack of the door.

Shuangli's face was covered with ashes, coughed twice, covered his mouth quickly, and instantly became cross-eyed, and quickly evacuated under the drag of several people behind him.

When Baizi landed, the bamboo door opened a crack, and the wind bell facing the window whirled and tinkled.Chao Chen got up to close the door, thinking how the breeze would blow it open today.Just wondering, his feet were in a panic, he moved his feet to look, then pointed to the ground and said to Gong Yangyue: "Don't throw it around, I borrowed it from Patriarch Meng, and I can't afford to miss one. By the way, how much is one point?"

Chao Chen sat down, thought about it, chess strength is difficult to judge, and he couldn't explain clearly, so he grabbed a handful of pieces and put them on the board, asked Gong Yangyue to guess first, and changed his words: "We will know in the next game."

Gongyangyue didn't guess odd or even, but picked out two sunspots, one in the center and one in the corner, and then said with a smile: "I know this is called Tianyuan, and this is called star position, so what?" ?”

"You didn't lie to me?"

Seeing Gongyangyue shaking his head with an innocent face, Chao Chen just wanted to slap himself on the face: "Gongyangyue, you are scarier than a stinky chess basket!"

Gongyangyue laughed out loud, while Chao Chen seemed to have suffered a severe blow, staring at the criss-crossing chessboard with drooping head. It took a full cup of tea to regain his strength, and he punched the final word: "There is only one way." .”

--Cheating!

"What? Cheating? Did Brother Chao say that?" Shuang Li chased after Qiao Min and asked, but couldn't find any new gadgets, so he could only hold the dog's tail and yell, "Quick, quick, next, the next one who loses in the boxing game is who?"

Cui Tanfeng was pushed out, her gentle eyebrows curled into a ball: "Isn't it good to be found out for eavesdropping?"

Bai Xinghui took out a string of firecrackers out of nowhere, and said, "If you are discovered, I will light it behind the house and make a noise." Looking down, he was still wearing high-toothed wooden clogs. Upstairs, instead of clearly telling people "I'm coming", I hurriedly greeted people and took off my shoes, and gave him a nudge.

The tense atmosphere in the room was no less tense than outside. Chao Chen's lips turned quickly, and his words were like plucking pearls, covering his head and face: "The so-called double chess is two against two. Companions take turns with each other. They don't say a word when the chess is played, and they are not allowed to communicate with each other. It is not allowed to specify the intention, let alone comment on the generation."

"So I not only have to understand what you mean, but also guess what you're thinking?" Gong Yangyue was extremely disgusted.

Chao Chen took ten thousand steps back and said, "Just don't make trouble, just look at me." As he spoke, facing him two by two, his right hand lightly landed on the edge of the table, and he tapped, which seemed to be just casually. Behavior, "pointing the index finger means Xiao Fei, the middle finger means Da Fei, the ring finger means blocking, and the little finger means climbing."

"Wiping the nose is pointed; rubbing the eyes left is the top, right is merging; the left branch is long, the right branch is standing, coughing once is jumping, coughing twice is pinching... Gongyangyue, let's do a real battle first, I Let’s start with a question of life and death,” Chao Chen said quickly, “If Bai Zi wants to get angry, where should he go?”

Gong Yangyue lazily grabbed one and threw it away.

"You're looking for a dead end, come again."

Chao Chen stuffed the chess piece back into his hand: "Look at me, look at me!"

Ram Yue dropped his hands impatiently.

After three or five times, no matter how good the temper was, it was worn into a firecracker, so that Chao Chen's forehead was bloody, and he simply grabbed Gong Yangyue's hand: "The left ear is closed, not pinched, like this, like this, two for one , can kill a bloody path."

A strand of wet black hair was blown by the wind on the tip of the ram's moon nose, swinging him as if he was drunk in the sky and water, and his heart repeatedly seemed to be scratched by a cat, and he unconsciously leaned forward.

Directly above the chessboard, the two people's noses intersected, and they only leaned their foreheads and cheeks to each other face to face, even so, but they did not drink poison to quench their thirst, scratching their boots, Gong Yangyue couldn't hold back, and curled his fingers like this.

Chao Chen said it in one breath, without realizing it, he fell back and sat down naturally, pulling at his temples for a while, and looking down, he realized that Gong Yangyue was turning a deaf ear to him, and was actually playing with his hair, and couldn't help feeling a little angry : "What are you doing? Well, those who dare to save are insignificant people! If you don't want to live, it would be better to fulfill you."

Being caught right now is really embarrassing, but Gong Yangyue didn't want to lose face and explain, so she just went the other way and made a fuss.Chao Chen hissed, and jumped up from the bamboo mat. He let go decisively, with a provocative expression, pushed the person hard, and even flipped the chess table: "I can't play, I can't remember!"

It was his own fault for Chao Chen to hang on the spot.

Gong Yangyue wanted to take a breath at first, but just as her fingers touched the door, she changed her mind and ran to push the window again.

Unexpectedly, he made a horizontal move. Qiao Min, who was the first to move, threw himself into the grassy slope, but did not pick up the overturned crock wine cup, and there was a crisp "Puff!"Gong Yangyue yelled "Go away" from across the hill, and Bai Xinghui was so frightened that he wanted to throw a firecracker in his face on the spot.Shuang Li shivered, and hurriedly rolled up the wine and cold dishes and cakes, and retreated outside the two bamboo buildings.

Chao Chen's lips parted, wanting to speak, but he didn't want to face him coldly, so he just silently straightened the small chess table, holding the chess baskets in his hand, picking them up one by one.Gong Yangyue ran around like a headless fly, and finally "hula" slammed the window, turned around and pulled the man from the ground: "Do it again." Saying that, she even started to clean up.

Chao Chen was stunned, almost slipped his hands and knocked over the half-packed box again.

Fortunately, Gongyangyue caught it, put it at his feet, and started working with his left and right hands. He quickly recovered the life and death questions just now. Even Chao Chen couldn't help being envious of his perfect memory.

Gongyangyue handed the chess pieces to him: "I really thought that Yan Chuihong was blind, you are almost playing like a monkey, if he still can't see it, those two eyeballs are unnecessary. You were wrong from the beginning. Well, opportunism is just a cornered support. Knowing yourself and the enemy is the key. I don’t even know what kind of person you are, so how can you cooperate? At least you have to tell me, do you prefer to use offense as defense or defense as offense, and be cautious Still bold, some habits... Do you really treat me like a log and not a living person?"

No one knows if Gong Yangyue was treated as a rotten tree, but right now Chao Chen is silent, so she is like a tree.Seeing that he didn't reply for a long time, the impatient red-clothed swordsman skipped over his thoughts, and neatly finalized: "From now on, you try to understand me, and I try to understand you."
