All Heavens Start with Lu Xiaofeng

Chapter 456

After Yuliancheng and Yuyouwei had breakfast in the inn, they planned to take a stroll around Xiangfan City to enjoy the scenery of the city, and then went to Xiangguo Lane to visit Li Shuangjia.

Finally, they left Xiangfan City and continued to Jixia Academy.

"I don't know why, it was clear that yesterday was much clearer than today, but I always feel that today is warmer, without that kind of gloomy feeling." Yu Youwei hugged the white cat, wearing a slender and well-fitting gorgeous dress.

Yu Liancheng smiled slightly: "Maybe it's because I have already saved all the ghosts in this city."

"You'll talk nonsense." Yuyouwei gave Yu Liancheng a charming look.

Pedestrians on the street are hurrying and whispering.Some people said that they dreamed of ghosts walking at night last night, others said that they saw the Buddha manifesting themselves last night, and some people were entrusted with dreams by their ancestors...

Yu Liancheng first took Yuyouwei around the famous White Snake Embankment nearby.

It is said that hundreds of years ago, a land god could not get used to the white snake making waves in the lake, so he slashed with his sword.After the death of the white snake, its huge body became a white embankment, which is where the name of the white snake embankment comes from.If you look down from a high place, you will find that the dike is indeed winding like a white snake.

It is also interesting to say that since ancient times, the stories and legends related to immortals are all related to sword immortals, and almost never heard of any legends related to sword immortals.

The same is true in the rivers and lakes, since ancient times, the sword has been respected.

The old sword god Li Chungang and the new sword god Deng Tai'a each lead the show, and among the swordsmen there is only Gu Jiantang who is the only one to support the main beam, not even a Jianghu.

It seems that those who use knives are all reckless and strong men, and it's hard to tell people when they go out.

Along the way, as usual, I met poets and literati who recited poems or sang songs, showing off wantonly.

Unfortunately, both of them turned a blind eye.Yu Liancheng glanced at Yu Youwei, and said with a smile: "It stands to reason that your father is a Jixia scholar from Shangyin Academy, so you should also like the nobles' children?"

Yu Youwei said softly: "Those self-proclaimed romantic men of letters, how many of them are truly learned scholars? And the romantic men who keep laughing and proud of princes are afraid that if they are given an official position, they will be ashamed Run to be a dog for others. As for those sour scholars who want to fight against Beimang and rule the world, they have never even killed a chicken. How can such characters be liked."

"From what you say, you really are a useless scholar." Yu Liancheng laughed.

Yu Youwei stroked the white cat and said, "There are people in the world with real talents and practical learning, who can help the world and help the people. It's a pity that there are very few of them."

Yu Liancheng chuckled and said, "You're going to see two of them today."

Yu Youwei's heart skipped a beat: "These are the two you came to Xiangfan to find?"

Yu Liancheng nodded.

"Then I'll wait and see."

The two wandered around the city, and came to an alley after a while.

This alley is full of people, young scholars in green shirts, young scholars who come closer, they are playing chess, squatting, sitting and standing.

Yu Youwei then remembered the introduction of Xiangfan City by the waiter in the inn. There are two famous alleys in Xiangfan.One of them is Xiangguo Lane, the real gold selling cave.

The other alley is the Yong'an Alley in front of you. In the alley, wild chess players sit against the wall. They bet different amounts according to their own chess strength, luring those who are eager for skill and chess idiots to take the bait.The bet is often a few or a dozen copper coins, a small bet that is pleasant and elegant.

Of course, every line and every game has its own rules, and the same is true for chess.

It is not difficult to win chess, but you must also pay attention to propriety. If the opponent loses his armor and armor, and his face is ugly, not to mention money, it is not impossible to overturn the chess stand.

After watching for a while, Yu Liancheng pulled Yu Youwei and came to a chess player who bet.

This is a young man with the appearance of a down-and-out student, his clothes are mended, his shoes and socks are white, and there are ten chess pieces on an empty chessboard.

After a brief understanding before, Yu Youwei understood that if these ten chess pieces were lost, they would have to pay ten shares of the bet money.In ordinary chess games, only two or three pieces are placed, and almost no five pieces, which shows that this wild chess player is quite confident.

It's fine if it's just a superb chess skill, what's even more strange is that this wild chess player is blind.

The blind chess player could hear the guest, and even guessed the guest's doubts, smiled slightly: "There is a sound of the chess piece being dropped, and I can tell where the chess piece landed just by hearing the sound."

Yu Liancheng sat down cross-legged, and randomly dropped a sunspot: "Since you are a blind chess player, you dare to come here to play chess. I think you are very good at chess."

"It's just a mess."

The blind chess player smiled, and followed suit with a move.

Yu Liancheng casually put down another sunspot, and said, "Tsk, I don't think you are a rich man, you dare to bet ten for one, and you don't even have any pants to match. Tell me, don't lie about how much money you have for gambling."

The blind chess player took out a dozen or so coins from his pocket, hesitated for a moment, and then took out a dilapidated chess record, which he counted as his family property.

"It's really poor enough."

Yu Liancheng shook his head, followed by another sunspot.

"Although they are poorer, fortunately, they are all clean money."

The blind chess player frowned slightly, the opponent's first and second moves were mediocre, and this move was even more chaotic. Could it be that he didn't know how to play chess and deliberately made trouble.

But it was just a moment of pondering, and then it went its own way.

"It's clean."

Yu Liancheng snapped his fingers.The blind chess player frowned, he suddenly felt the surroundings suddenly quiet down, and he could hear the needle drop.

"Don't worry, I've just blocked the sound of the outside world and the place a few feet away." Yu Liancheng glanced at him, and smiled, still very casually.

And the blind chess player didn't panic as imagined, but asked in confusion: "I don't know what the guest means?"

Yu Liancheng said: "3000 two hundred one thirteen taels."

"what?"

Yu Liancheng smiled and said, "I bet 3000 two hundred and one thirteen taels."

I only have a dozen coppers on me, so I can't afford to gamble. "The blind chess player shook his head and made a move.

"If you win, you will give me 3000 taels. If you lose, you will sell all the books and talents in your belly to me," Yu Liancheng said.

"The price is low, dare to ask Gao's name." The blind chess player pondered for a moment, but did not refuse, and dropped another white piece.

"The price is indeed low, but this is all the money I have, Murong Tonghuang."

"Murong Tonghuang?!" The blind chess player twisted the white piece in his hand, raised his eyebrows, "Go to Beiliang or Huishan."

"After all, Huishan is just a corner of the rivers and lakes. Only Beiliang can display his talents."

"Okay, I promise you." The blind chess player dropped a white piece.

"With Mr.'s talent and learning, even 10 taels of gold can't buy it. Unfortunately, I only have 3000 taels of silver." Yu Liancheng dropped a sunspot.

"It's even more regrettable that the 3000 taels of silver cannot be obtained by Mr."

While speaking, the chess piece fell, and Yu Liancheng's temperament gradually changed. His eyes were filled with the light of profound wisdom, as if he could see through all the mysteries in the world.

……

"Mr. Murong, are you kidding me? I think I'm definitely going to win." The blind chess player dropped a white piece and smiled slightly: "It's more than 3000 taels of silver. I have to thank Mr. Murong for winning so easily. All I need is the 200 taels of silver, and I will treat the rest to the young master and the girl next to me to drink."

The young fish Wei next to her was holding the white cat, her beautiful eyes were also looking at the chessboard.It is clear that the middle game has not yet been reached, and the blind chess player's chess moves are well-regulated, but the black chess is very scattered, as if it is played casually.

Although she has played several games against Yu Liancheng, she thinks that her chess strength is only about equal to that of her opponent, only one draw away.With the current situation, it would be extremely difficult for her to make a comeback.

In particular, this blind chess player is not a mediocre player, and he has played several amazing chess moves before.

"You are quite generous." Yu Liancheng blinked and dropped a chess piece, already understanding the whole chess game in his chest: "But you are a loser, so you don't need so much nonsense, and the winner can take all."

With his current ability, it couldn't be easier to deduce the changes of a game of chess.

If the guy in front of you is Huang Longshi, there is still a next step.But this blind scholar is still far behind.

The blind chess player's expression became serious, and he no longer made quick moves, and after a little thought, he raised his moves and returned to the move.

For the next time, neither of them said a word, they concentrated on dealing with the chess game in front of them, and the sound of chess pieces falling on the board made a sound.

As time passed, the blind chess player moved slower and slower, his face was full of thoughts, and his brows frowned deeper.

The originally straight figure also has a slight tendency to lean down.

It was as if every piece of Yu Liancheng's chess pieces fell, there was a force of gravity pressing on him, as if there was a thousand weights on his back.

Yuyouwei was terrified when she saw that the idle chess that Yu Liancheng had dropped earlier suddenly burst out, making the whole chess game murderous and engulfing thousands of miles like a tiger.

The chess piece of the blind chess player is like a flat boat in the storm, swaying.It's also fortunate that his chess skills are good, otherwise he would have capsized and died in an instant.

After passing the middle game, Yu Liancheng clacked his fingers on the chessboard, and said flatly: "Instead of lingering, it's better to abandon the piece and admit defeat, at least to save face."

The blind chess player shook his head and said, "The counselors plan things. It is up to people to plan things, and it is up to God to make things happen. Until the last moment, who will win and who will lose, who can decide."

"Since you don't want to be decent, I'm the only one who will help you be decent."

boom!boom!boom……

In an instant, only the sound of chess remained.

After another half hour, the blind chess player sighed and conceded the game: "I lost. From now on, Lu Xu will be the counselor of Beiliang Palace."

"Wrong." Yu Liancheng said.

"wrong?"

"You are my Emperor Murong Tong's." Yu Liancheng said: "How soon do you plan to leave, there is no war in Beiliang now, even if it is later, it doesn't matter."

The blind chess player pondered for a while: "It will be three days later. After all, I have been in Xiangfan for a long time, and some people and some things still need to be dealt with."

"Okay, someone will take you to Beiliang at that time." Yu Liancheng stood up, was about to leave, stood up again, and took out two hundred taels of silver notes and a handful of scattered silver from his arms : "You buy me 3000 taels for drinking, and I buy you 200 taels for tea."

"Thank you so much, my lord." The blind chess player smiled and accepted it calmly.

……

After bidding farewell to the blind chess player, Yu Liancheng asked with a smile: "What do you think of this person?"

"Watching chess is like watching people. This person has deep pockets in his chest. He is good at planning and has a tough personality... However, after all, he only played a game of chess. Do you know the details of this person's temperament? A powerful general is light." Yu Youwei chooses her words carefully, but it is not difficult to see that she is full of praise for this blindfold chess player.

"Don't worry, I care about myself." Yu Liancheng laughed.

At the same time, messages flashed through my mind quickly.

Lu Xu, grandfather Lu You, a great Confucian of the previous generation, and father Lu brother, can be described as one of the three masters.

Because he edited and wrote the history of the Western Chu Kingdom and said a few fair words for scholars, he was framed by others and almost ransacked all his families.For ten years, he played chess for a living. At night, he went to Xiangguo Lane to play the piano with a girl.

This person is kind and gentle in nature, even for a singing girl, he would risk his life.He is a person worthy of a certain amount of effort, and he may be of great use when wars start in Beiliang in the future.

By the way, his enemy is the governor of Haichang County.

If Yu Liancheng wanted to take the life of the sheriff, it would be like picking something out of his pocket.

But for this kind of life-and-death enemy, the only way to vent the pleasure of revenge is to do it yourself.

Yu Liancheng asked again hehe: "What do you think of this person's chess skills?"

"It can be called a national player." After a comment, Yu Xuanji glanced at Yu Liancheng again.It turns out that this guy's chess skills are so good that he deserves to lose.Desperately wanting to take revenge against myself is simply beyond my control.

"The second person we are going to meet is the one who taught him how to play chess. The old man's chess skills are even more amazing, but his character is not good, and he prefers to use people as chess. This time we meet him, and we can't agree , it is inevitable to overturn his chessboard and kick him in the face, but beating the old man always feels bad."
