Chapter 299 Jia Xu's Heaven and Earth Chess
"It's troublesome!" Jia Xu sighed softly.

It is really not an easy task to get close to Sheng Huang and influence Sheng Huang.

Besides, they don't have much time, and they can't start from the bottom step by step.

"Mr. Wenhe, there is a letter!"

At this time, Zhao Yun suddenly walked into the room with a letter and said.

Jia Xu took the letter in surprise and asked, "Where did you get it?"

"Suddenly appeared in the room." Zhao Yun said.

Jia Xu frowned slightly, opened the letter and read it.

After reading it, he couldn't help laughing.

"It was sent by Jin Yiwei!"

"Our Commander-in-Chief of Jinyiwei really has great powers, and he came to Kyoto so quickly."

He was a little surprised, but more pleased.

Yuan Tiangang came to Dasheng with him, and it has only been more than half a year now, but what he didn't expect was that Yuan Tiangang had already extended Jinyiwei's tentacles into the capital.

But thinking about Jin Yiwei's methods, Jia Xu is not surprised.

If you want to say that the most mysterious organization of Dali Chaotang is undoubtedly the Jinyiwei.

In Dali, except for Zheng Ming and Yuan Tiangang, no one knew how many people and masters Jin Yiwei had.

Even though Jia Xu had dealt with Jin Yiwei a lot before, he only knew the tip of the iceberg of Jin Yiwei.

The content of the letter is just a description of a person's information.

Yao Dingshan.

The head of the Yao family of the Sanpin family in Dashengjingdu.

In Kyoto, the Sanpin family is just a wealthy family, not a high-level figure.

But this Yao Dingshan is not simple.

Yao Dingshan is a close minister of Dasheng's current prince. He followed the prince a hundred years ago and is trusted by the prince.

And 30 years ago, Yao Dingshan's daughter became the prince's concubine, which can be said to be more intimate.

Although Yao Dingshan's official position in the prince's mansion is not high, he is the real confidant of the prince.

"I like playing chess!" Jia Xu looked at the contents of the letter with a faint smile on his face.

Jin Yiwei really found him a good candidate.

A close minister of the prince who likes to play chess.

"Zilong, go and learn about the environment around Cuiyunfang." Jia Xu said to Zhao Yun.

Cuiyun Fang is the place where Yao Dingshan lives, not far from here, only two streets away.

Yao Dingshan likes to play chess. In his spare time, he likes to play chess with his friends in the pavilion by the lake in Cuiyun Square.

……

For the next few days, Jia Xu and Zhao Yun stayed in the inn.

The two went out to inquire about news from time to time, and at the same time, Jia Xu kept running around various talent selection halls in order to pave the way for the future, making a false appearance of asking for an official.

The so-called talent selection hall is the place where talents are selected. There are court halls, prince's mansions, royal mansions, and even cultivating families.

The purpose is to select some talents for their own use.

Since Jia Xu wanted to be an official, he naturally had to go into the Selection Hall. Although his goal was the Prince's Mansion, he couldn't make it too obvious.

Zhao Yun, on the other hand, wandered around Cuiyun Fang, entering it from time to time for a tour.

On this day, the weather was a bit gloomy, but it was a little earlier than the rain.

Jia Xu and Zhao Yun came to Cuiyunfang together. The environment is beautiful and quiet. Although it is not luxurious, it is full of poetic and picturesque.

The two walked slowly along the lakeside, and in a blink of an eye they came near the gazebo.

But there was only one old man in the gazebo, with white hair like snow, ruddy complexion and elegant demeanor.

This person is not Yao Dingshan, but it is Yao Dingshan's good friend Cui Yuanchun.

Cui Yuanchun is a Confucian scholar and has no official position in the court, but he is the dean of Luyuan College.

There is also Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism in the Dasheng Dynasty. Although there is no sect, there are many real masters.

"Student Jia Xu has met Mr. Cui."

Jia Xu stepped forward and bowed to salute.

Cui Yuanchun looked up at him and said, "Do you know this old man?"

"The student is from Yaoning Mansion, Sihai County. He just arrived in the capital recently, so he specifically asked Mr. Cui." Jia Xu said.

Cui Yuanchun frowned slightly, he regarded Jia Xu as someone who wanted to go through the back door.

"You want to enter Luyuan College?"

Jia Xu nodded slightly and said, "The student wants to enter the academy as a teacher."

Now Cui Yuanchun was stunned, he looked at Jia Xu strangely.

He originally thought that Jia Xu wanted to enter Luyuan College as a student through him, but he didn't expect Jia Xu to want to be a teacher, which really exceeded his expectations.

But at the same time he was interested.

It was the first time he met him to recommend himself as a teacher.

"If you want to be a teacher, you must have real talents. Are you sure you are qualified?" he asked.

Jia Xu said: "The students are not talented, and they are willing to accept the assessment of the master."

Whether it is true talent or learning, you will know after an assessment.

Dali has the inheritance of Confucianism and Taoism, and Confucianism and Taoism are not judged by cultivation, but by wisdom and knowledge.

Although Jia Xu doesn't have awe-inspiring spirit, he is not bad in Confucianism.

Seeing that he was so confident, Cui Yuanchun couldn't help feeling relieved.

"Would you like to talk about it?"

"Naturally!" Jia Xu laughed.

Isn't this exactly what he wanted?
Then he sat opposite Cui Yuanchun, the two guessed, and Jia Xu took the sunspot first.

In this way, you and I made more than a dozen moves back and forth, but Cui Yuanchun's brows became more and more wrinkled.

"What inheritance does your chess skill have?"

He found that Jia Xu's chess skills are not simple, and his chess style is quite weird.

Jia Xu said nonchalantly, "What the students learn is Tian Di Chess."

"Heaven and earth chess?" Cui Yuanchun was puzzled.

Jia Xu said: "Using the heaven and the earth as the chessboard, and all living things as the chess pieces, this is the chess of the heaven and the earth."

Cui Yuanchun remained silent and continued to settle.

The tone is very loud, but I just don’t know if it can really be done.

The two went back and forth, and in a short while, the chessboard was already covered with chess pieces, black and white, seemingly chaotic, but with strange rules.

Jia Xu looked up slightly.

At some point, there was a man with a fair face next to him, wearing a blue toga, who looked more than 40 years old.

This person is Yao Dingshan.

Jia Xu just glanced at him, didn't say much, and looked back at the chessboard again.

"You seem to be losing!" Cui Yuanchun laughed.

Yao Dingshan next to him frowned.

As the so-called bystander is clear.

Judging from the chessboard, Cui Yuanchun did have the upper hand, but Yao Dingshan felt that Cui Yuanchun was going to lose, but he couldn't be sure where he would lose.

"Not necessarily!" Jia Xu laughed.

Cui Yuanchun smiled without saying a word, and continued to settle.

His victory is becoming more and more obvious.

However, just when he thought he was sure of winning, Jia Xu dropped a hand lightly.

"With the way of nature and inaction, with the virtue of humility like water, play against all living beings, advance with retreat, defeat the strong with the weak, and win without fighting."

"Mr. Cui, you lost."

Jia Xu said softly.

Cui Yuanchun stared blankly at the chessboard, unable to say a word for a long time.

He obviously had the overall advantage, but why did he lose in the end, and the loss was very thorough.

"This is Heaven and Earth Chess!"

Jia Xu said: "Hehe, the students are just good at playing chess."

Cui Yuanchun shook his head with a smile, and turned his gaze to the chessboard again, recalling every previous move.

"The old man is not wronged to lose."

He said.

After reviewing the game, he found that from the beginning of the chess game, he was led by Jia Xu's nose, and every step and every chess piece was within Jia Xu's calculations.

What's even more exaggerated is that even if he knew Jia Xu's final layout, he found that he couldn't break it.

Beside him, Yao Dingshan's eyes sparkled, and he couldn't help but ask, "Old Cui, who is this?"

Watching the chess without saying a word, he didn't speak before, now the chess game is over, he can't help it anymore.

Cui Yuanchun introduced: "This is Mr. Jia Xu from the Yaoning Mansion. You saw it just now. This old man is a game of chess."

Yao Dingshan looked at Jia Xu, cupped his hands and said, "I'm at Yao Dingshan, and I met Mr. Jia Xu."

"Jia Xu has met Mr. Yao." Jia Xu stood up and returned the greeting.

"Would you like to talk about a game?" Yao Dingshan said, suppressing the chess addiction in his heart.

Jia Xu naturally had no reason to refuse, and said, "Mr. Cui, what do you think?"

"Haha, it doesn't matter, the old man also wants to watch." Cui Yuanchun said.

He made room for Yao Dingshan to take his seat.

Receive chess, guess pieces, drop pieces.

Jia Xu and Yao Dingshan played chess.

Yao Dingshan's chess skills are similar to Cui Yuanchun's, otherwise they wouldn't play chess often.

But this time, Jia Xu didn't make too many arrangements, but showed a fierce chess style when he came up. He held white pieces, and the white pieces on the chessboard were powerful, while the black pieces were killed all over the place.

About half an hour later, Yao Dingshan surrendered.

After finishing the game in one fell swoop, Yao Dingshan looked at Jia Xu suspiciously.

"Mr. Jia Xu's chess style is really~~" He didn't know how to describe it for a while.

Cui Yuanchun beside him burst out laughing.

"Dingshan, little friend Jia Xu has a request for me, so the style of chess is gentle, and if you don't ask for it, naturally you will not be polite."

When playing chess with Cui Yuanchun, Jia Xu's chess style was biased towards layout, and he made a decision before moving, mainly showing his layout ability.

When playing chess with Yao Dingshan, Jia Xu was just playing chess, just trying to win.

There is a distinct difference between the two.

There is no demand, the style of chess is different.

Cui Yuanchun thought this was the case, but Jia Xu's purpose was just the opposite.

What he begged was Yao Dingshan, not Cui Yuanchun.

"What do you want?" Yao Dingshan asked.

"Little friend Jia Xu intends to join Luyuan Academy as a teacher." Cui Yuanchun laughed.

Jia Xu explained: "The students came to Kyoto for the first time, so they wanted to make a living."

Yao Dingshan nodded slightly, and didn't ask any more questions.

Cui Yuanchun smiled and said: "Little friend Jia Xu, can you follow me to the academy tomorrow?"

"The student thanked Mr. Cui." Jia Xu said.

His first goal has been achieved, joining Luyuan Academy.

At the same time, the second goal was also achieved, getting acquainted with Yao Dingshan.

The next day, Jia Xu joined Luyuan Academy with Cui Yuanchun and became a chess teacher at Luyuan Academy.

Cui Yuanchun paid special attention to Jia Xu's chess skills and took special care of him. He not only showed him around the entire academy, but also arranged a residence for him and Zhao Yun.

Although it was just a very ordinary small courtyard, it was not easy.

For a long time afterwards, Jia Xu taught chess in the academy, and occasionally went to Cuiyunfang to play chess with Yao Dingshan and Cui Yuanchun.

With Jia Xu's method, in less than a month, he merged into the relationship between the two and became their good friends.
