Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 238 Bluffing?

It is not an easy task to arrange a game of chess to crack. In Jiang Yi's original plan, three was used as the number, which coincided with the three talents of heaven, earth and man. When the time came, the three chess games were taken out together and let the world's heroes crack it. What a big deal that would be. Scenery?
Unfortunately, in Kaiyang, due to unexpected encounters, it had to be taken out in advance.

"It was originally meant to be a chess game for the world's heroes, but if I give it to Chen Zhi alone, if I still can't hold him back, then won't all my intensive research over the past few years become a joke?"

After several years of intensive study, of course not all the time. After all, Jiang Yi's main energy is still on the classics and the art of war, but most of his spare time is spent on the chess game.

After hearing this, the attendant nodded repeatedly, then remembered his master's instructions before setting off, and couldn't help but said: "Young master, the main thing for you to come out this time is to make a name for yourself and build a foundation, so that you can help the marquis when there are changes in the court. , after all, chess is just a supplement, you must not put the cart before the horse and get addicted to it.”

He was thinking about Jiang Yi when he was setting up a game, and he thought hard about it. Now that he was setting up a game, he was full of reluctance and wanted to persuade him.

When Jiang Yi heard this, he was slightly startled, shook his head and said with a smile: "Jiang Hu, you are confused. You see me paying too much attention to the chess game and the Xingtan forum, so you are worried? Are you afraid that I will lose my mind by playing with things?"

Jiang Hu hesitated for a moment, and then said: "In the past two or three years, the young master has spent too much time on this." He did not dare to say these words, but when he came from the east, the Marquis asked Jiang Yishi mentioned this, so Jiang Hu dared to speak at this time.

Jiang Yi still smiled, shook his head and said: "Jiang Hu, you only saw me immersed in it, but you didn't expect that you can't aim too high in everything. At any stage, you have to devote yourself to one thing. I bear the name of a Jiang family , saving others a lot of hard work, but before you really become an official and before you have real achievements, if you want to improve your reputation, you have to rely on these."

When Jiang Hu heard this, he stopped talking and made a listening gesture. After all, he was the confidant of the Jiang family and knew what to do when. The previous advice was half out of public motives and half selfish.

Jiang Yi continued: "I manage my reputation for the sake of follow-up matters. Now it's not a time of war, and it's not easy to get ahead. Fortunately, there is the method of nine-rank officials. As long as you have reputation, you are a stepping stone, so it will rise Wenhui, Jingyi, and even hand-talking Taoism are also rising because of this. Don’t think that the so-called hand-talking is just a joke, a joke, and anything that involves promotion is no longer simple. It is no longer pure Go, but sustenance. All kinds of thoughts."

As he spoke, he pointed to a set of chess records on the table in front of him.

"You think this chess game may be a waste of time, but what is good at the top is not good at the bottom. How can you think about it with ordinary thoughts? If one day, the selection of officials must be based on kicking stones, and it is guaranteed that all the heroes in the world will be selected. While working hard on studying stones, do you think you can laugh at them just because they are everywhere? This is just a way. Once you ascend the throne, it will be a different story."

At this point, he sighed slightly: "Because of this, I have to immerse myself in it. If I always see countless heroic figures in history and bring the past situations into my eyes, I also feel that playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting are just a small path. It's a bit too ambitious, because only by doing the present well can we lay the foundation. I always look at higher places and muddle along in front of my eyes. The final result is that I can't move forward at all. This is not the time for me to underestimate the way of chess books. "

When Jiang Hu heard this, he couldn't help but stand in awe. Many questions from the past suddenly became clear at this moment.

Jiang Yi didn't care much and said: "Go and prepare. We will set off tomorrow."

These words brought Jiang Hu back to reality, and he couldn't help but ask: "Do you still want to say hello to Chen Zhi?" There was no need to do so, but after breaking the situation in Guanyue Tower, if he continued to ignore Chen Zhi, he would not say goodbye. Yes, it just doesn’t make sense in terms of etiquette.

Jiang Yi said: "Just go and report. He won't be able to break the chess game in a short time. As long as this game is not broken, then he has no reason to ask that little Xiongnu prince."

Jiang Hu was stunned for a moment, then understood immediately, and couldn't help secretly secretly making a clever plan.

Only now did he figure out why Jiang Yi would come up with a game of chess.
It turned out that those three games of chess were very expensive, and they were taken out not only for the sake of spectacle, but also because Jiang Yi saw that Chen Zhi's chess skills were extraordinary. If Chen Zhi also went north, there would undoubtedly be more variables in the matter of the little prince of the Huns. Now The game was broken and Chen Zhi followed. Before the game was broken, what reason and position did Chen Zhi have to interfere with the little prince of the Huns?

"Young Master's chess game, even if you want to crack it yourself, will take ten days and a half. Unless you can study it without sleep, it will take three or two days. Chen Zhi is out on a study tour. Where can he find such a game? Time? If he doesn't break the game, even if he goes north, he won't be able to intervene, this plan is great!"

With this thought, Jiang Hu went over to prepare.

At this time, Jiang Yi seemed to suddenly think of something and said: "In addition, the Li family boy is not safe enough. If there is no need in the future, don't let him appear in front of me."

Jiang Hu's heart trembled, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly, and quickly nodded in agreement. He also knew that he was sober last night, and knew that the boy had made a big mistake on his own, and had really gotten into trouble. If he hadn't had some skills, he would have been kicked out.

In this way, everyone belonging to Jiang Yi became busy.

On the other side, the inn where Chen Zhi and the others were staying was full of people. Various people were watching from the outside, and many scholars came to visit with name cards. Even people from the government sent several invitations.

These people and invitations were all directed at Chen Zhi, but until noon, Chen Zhi did not show up.

More and more people were coming, and they were unwilling to leave, making this small inn suddenly overcrowded, with people everywhere. If it weren't for the innkeepers and the Chen family's servants to maintain order, it would have gotten out of control.

"Brother Liu, given our relationship, please reveal what Brother Chen is doing? My elders want to see him this time and have sent an invitation. If there is no accurate letter, how will I explain it when I go back?" In the corner of the lobby, Zhou Yan pulled Liu Gang and whispered: "Look, let us go up first. We also know that at this time, there are so many people visiting, including many celebrities, and even officials are asking questions, but we The relationship is here, we were all present last night."

At this time, Zhou Yan could not see the slightest regret from yesterday, and he looked like he was on good terms with Liu Gang and his two brothers.

But Liu Gang had to smile bitterly and said: "Brother Zhou, I'm really not trying to shirk it. It's actually that Brother Chen understood the chess game last night. It might have been too late, so he hasn't gotten up yet."

"You haven't gotten up yet?" Zhou Yan didn't believe it at all. He knew Chen Zhi's work and rest habits. He didn't fall asleep so late at night, so he just thought it was Liu Gang who was trying to push him away. How could he give up?

"I really didn't lie to you!" Liu Gang looked helpless.

On the other side, Tao Ya, Lu Ying and others were also explaining to others that after staying in Kaiyang County for a while, not only did Liu Gang make new friends, but other people also had their own encounters. In terms of the closeness of the relationship, Maybe not as good as Zhou Yan and Lu Jing, but at this time the other parties also showed their friendship and wanted to see Chen Zhi.

This situation greatly surprised Zuo Qing. He really didn't expect that things would escalate to this extent after just one night. Looking at the crowds of people in front of him, he could clearly see Chen Zhi's expanding influence.

However, when he had some free time and recalled everything before, Zuo Qing came to understand again and knew that this was actually not an accident.

"Young Master Yiyan, who is good at building momentum, made some arrangements before the chess game started. Unfortunately, this matter did not develop as he expected in the end, and he took advantage of Young Master Chen in vain!"

While he was thinking this, he suddenly heard an exclamation from the crowd, and someone shouted, "Mr. Chen is out!"

As this sound fell, everyone in the lobby suddenly became excited. Everyone, including Zuo Qing, looked towards the stairs and saw Chen Zhi walking down slowly.

His arrival seemed to set off the whole place, and he naturally became the focus of everyone, and then they swarmed over.

"Everyone, wait a minute."

Strange to say, no matter how hard Tao Ya and others tried to persuade him, it had no effect, but Chen Zhi just said four words, which made everyone stop boiling, and then became quiet one after another, making Zuo Qing and others gasp. tongue, realizing that Chen Zhi already had authority.

Chen Zhi was not surprised. Not to mention the fact that in front of him, even in that previous life, among the thousands of troops, no one dared to make a noise even though he said it was quiet.

"I have something to say, everyone, please listen to it. It seems that yesterday's incident has already spread, so everyone should know that Mr. Jiang left me a game of chess, and he wants me to break it..."

When Chen Zhi said this, everyone present started talking softly. They didn't know what he meant, but they knew about the cracked chess game left by Jiang Yi, and they also knew that this game had its meaning.

"However, what does Chen Zhi mean when he mentions this matter at this time? He won't be able to break the situation in just a moment."

As soon as many people had this idea, they heard Chen Zhi say -

"After studying all night, I already have some clues. That game of chess is about to be broken. I hope you can retreat first and give me some time to really break the game. After that, I will definitely set up a solution. Let’s make amends at the banquet.”

As soon as this statement came out, many people were still discussing it, but then their expressions changed.

"What do you mean? Does this mean that Chen Zhi is about to crack the chess game that Jiang Yi left yesterday today?"

The news spread among the crowd, which surprised them all, and soon spread in the city, and reached Jiang Yi's ears.

"You're bluffing! This is the ability to take advantage of the opportunity to build momentum. Unexpectedly, Chen Zhi is also a master! It seems that he also has big plans. He wants to quickly accumulate fame and start a career! But my game of chess has already... Block its path to the north, so there’s no need to worry!”

After hearing the news, Jiang Yi left such a sentence, telling people not to pay attention and continue preparing to go north.

　Change it first!
