Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 249: How can you restrain yourself when your fame is gone?

Chen Zhi met the man sent by Jiang Yi in the main hall.

"The villain Jiang Hu has met Mr. Chen."

The person sent by Jiang Yi was none other than his confidant Jiang Hu. This man had arrived in the morning, but Chen Zhi had already gone to Wang's house by then, so he was waiting here.

Chen Zhi nodded, pondered for a moment, and then asked directly: "I wonder why you came here this time?"

Jiang Hu bowed and saluted, and then said: "Reporting to Chen Junzi, my master asked me to come here to bring two chess records."

"Two games of chess?" Chen Zhi's heart moved when he heard this, "Is it related to the little prince of the Huns?"

Jiang Hu nodded and said: "It was the chess game between my young master and the Huns. It was compiled from my young master's memories afterwards. His chess moves were recorded in it, and it was specially sent to you for your review."

As soon as these words were said, Zhao Xing, Lu Ying and others who were listening on the side were surprised and understood the meaning of the words.

What is recorded in this chess game are the two games in which Jiang Yi lost to the little prince of the Huns?
Before they arrived in Linyi, they heard about the roadblock chess game. Jiang Yi and the little prince of the Huns played chess and said they would win two out of three games. However, Jiang Yi lost two games in a row and didn't even have to play the third game.

Now that Jiang Hu said that he had sent two chess records, it was easy for people to think this way.

Although it was guesswork, they all understood that this matter was almost inseparable, and they were very surprised.

"With Jiang Yi's temperament, what is the purpose of sending the chess records of the two games he lost? Is it to remind Brother Chen? Or to help Brother Chen understand the chess moves of the little Hun prince in advance? "

Liu Gang, Tao Ya and others looked at each other with deep doubts in each other's eyes.

Judging from Jiang Yi's previous actions, he pursues maximizing fame in everything and is by no means a kind-hearted person. He suffered a loss from Chen Zhi before, so he just couldn't find a way to get it back. Can he still help?
has a problem!
Soon, they all had such an idea.

But then Jiang Hu said: "With Chen Junzi's intelligence, he naturally guessed that the chess game involved in this chess record is exactly the chess strategy of the Hun prince. My young master's intention is that he hopes that Chen Junzi can study it carefully." , so as not to let the other side take advantage of the situation when we face the Huns. If China loses again, the situation will not be good."

While he was talking, he took out a book, held it up with both hands, presented it to Chen Zhi, and said: "The little prince of the Huns came well prepared. According to my young master's analysis, before he came, he had already discovered several places in the Central Plains. The chess moves of famous players and factions have been analyzed, so they are very targeted when playing chess. Even my young master’s chess skills that have been hidden for a long time do not know where the opponent got the information, so his moves are very targeted.”

"Is there such a thing?" Chen Zhi frowned, feeling the meaning behind the matter. What he cared about was not that the chess path was figured out, but that even someone like Jiang Yi, who deliberately concealed the chess path, would be probed by the Huns. The intelligence capabilities represented behind this are very worthy of attention.

"That's it. Please don't refuse, Mr. Chen." Jiang Hu handed the book forward a few inches.

Chen Zhi pondered for a moment, nodded, and accepted.

Jiang Hu took a look and said: "There is one more thing that I want Chen Junzi to know. My young master already knows that the little prince of the Huns had an appointment with the Wang family and left a game of Zhenlong. I believe that the Wang family will invite the recently arrived Several chess masters will go to break the game, and Chen Junzi can also go there at that time to have a peek at the opponent's layout."

After saying this, he was about to leave. Jiang Hu was just a servant, and there was nothing to say if he stayed here. Others would not keep him.

Chen Zhize said: "I already understand Mr. Jiang's intention. I will come to express my gratitude someday."

Jiang Hu said, "My young master said that this is not to help Mr. Chen, so Mr. Chen does not need to express his thanks. Moreover, the young master also said that some chess games are just for advice and do not have much effect, so there is no need to thank him."

After saying this, he stopped delaying. As soon as they left, Tao Ya and others gathered around him.

"Brother Chen, what exactly does Jiang Yi mean? Is it a scam to have someone send you the losing game record?"

"Yeah, there might be something hidden inside. I don't think Jiang Yi is such an easy person to talk to."

"That Mr. Yiyan is not willing to suffer losses. When Brother Chen broke the chess game, he immediately left another one. In my opinion, this chess record is probably fake."

Several people said something to each other, and even Zhou Yan, who admired Jiang Yi very much, did not refute.

Only Zhao Xing frowned and said: "There won't be any traps in this kind of thing. Even if the chess record is fake, at most it will make Brother Chen do some useless work without harming the overall situation."

Zuo Qing couldn't help but suggested: "Brother Chen doesn't necessarily have to face that little Hun prince. Brother Chen didn't have much reputation in chess in the past, and he has only become famous recently. Why bother to go to this mess?" water?"

He still considered Chen Zhi's reputation and worried that it would be damaged before Wang Jiawen's meeting.

It's a pity that this son of the Zuo family would never have thought that it was unclear whether the Wang Jiawen meeting he had always wanted to hold could be held.And there was no one to support his proposal. Everyone here knew very well that as long as Chen Zhi was still in Qingzhou, attending literary conferences, participating in apricot forums, and even constantly improving his reputation, the little prince of the Huns could not avoid it. The threshold must be met sooner or later.

Lu Ying suddenly said: "I have been walking on the street these past two days and I have heard people talking about Brother Chen. They were talking about Brother Chen's chess skills and discussing when Brother Chen would challenge the little prince of the Huns."

Lu Jing also said: "Some people also say that Brother Chen may use the excuse of the little prince to leave and avoid fighting to gain his reputation. After all, the lessons learned from the past are not far away."

Tao Ya frowned and said: "These people are making assumptions, but if they are left alone, it will eventually have consequences. Besides, the little prince of the Huns is a barbarian. He came to China to act arrogantly. Morally, we really cannot ignore it."

With that said, several people looked at Chen Zhi.

"In any case, Master Jiang's book of chess records will not be aimless. Since it has been sent to me, I want to study it carefully." As Chen Zhi spoke, he flipped through it and with a slight sweep, he had already removed it from the claws. , saw many subtle chess moves, and knew that they were definitely not used to cheat.

If he expended so much effort just to cheat, then he, Jiang Yi, might as well just come over and challenge.

At this time, Liu Gang suddenly said: "I wonder what Mr. Jiang Yi is doing now. A man like him may have great ambitions, but he has suffered setbacks one after another in a short period of time..."

The latter words were not spoken, but the others understood their meaning very well, and Zhou Yan's expression changed even more.

Tao Ya said: "If you are preparing to become famous, you really have to be careful. If you are not careful, your reputation will be damaged a lot. If you want to repair it, I don't know how long it will take."

As soon as he said this, everyone else was interested and joined in, expressing their own opinions on how to become famous and how to solidify their reputation.

After hearing this, Chen Zhi couldn't help but shook his head and sighed: "The thoughts of others are really terrible. I just visited the teahouse and listened to other people's discussions, and I realized that when Mr. Jiang Yi arrived, he was also praised by everyone in the city, sought after, and hated. We can't praise him to the sky. After the blocking of the road and the chess game, Mr. Jiang failed to fulfill the wishes of the people in the city and was defeated by the Hun prince. Everyone in the city, from the literati to the commoners, devalued Mr. Jiang as worthless. It seems that anyone who comes forward can do better.”

As soon as these words were said, everyone stopped talking, making various associations, and each had their own thoughts.

Finally, Chen Zhi said: "Fame has its limits, so raising hopes is just a means, not an end. If you only have fame, you may be a famous person, but you will also be bound by fame. After all, you will not be able to be yourself. How can it be like this?"

Everyone listened to these words and had different feelings, but they were vaguely aware that Chen Zhi was talking about Jiang Yi on the surface, but in fact he meant something else...

"This seems to be explaining his ambitions." Zhao Xing has the broadest vision and the most things he has realized, "Jiang Yi has been ambitious since he was a child, and now he seems to be obsessed with fame, but if he uses the words of Brother Chen , maybe it can be explained, maybe this is his means to achieve his ambition, but right now, he was defeated by Brother Chen first, and then defeated by the Huns, so I don’t know how he should deal with himself.”

At the same time, Jiang Yi returned to the inn where Jiang Yi stayed after leaving the Zuo family residence.

Compared with other places in the city where people come and go, this place is obviously much quieter. There are only a few people in the store, and the waiter is lying on the table, looking bored.

In the innermost place, the shopkeeper was doing the calculations, sighing while doing the calculations, looking up from time to time upstairs.

A servant came to the shopkeeper and said in a low voice: "When will that young master leave? He lives here, and no one else comes. When he comes, he will be blamed. Who dares to stay with us. "

The shopkeeper slapped the boy on the head and scolded: "What are you talking about? Don't talk nonsense, be careful of trouble coming from your mouth!"

The boy was startled and quickly fell silent.

The shopkeeper then whispered: "You little guy, you don't understand the situation. There is a noble person upstairs, but he is temporarily in trouble. We have taken care of you. Are you afraid it will be useless? Such an opportunity is usually not something you can ask for. Others No matter how much we live in, how can we compare to this one? Besides, I have enough money."

The boy nodded repeatedly, and finally couldn't help but said: "But the people on the street..."

"Do you care about them? In half a month or a month, this person's reputation will definitely rise again. The people on the street are forgetful. Okay, go to work quickly."

The boy responded, and after a while, he was carrying a bunch of melons and fruits, and was about to go upstairs. He happened to see Jiang Hu walking upstairs quickly. Before Jiang Hu went upstairs, he also told the boy not to take it for the time being. disturb.

The boy stopped, and Jiang Hu went upstairs and entered the room. When he saw Jiang Yi with his head down reading, he told him what he had seen.

Compared with before, Jiang Yi's breath was much lower, and his face looked tired, but his eyes were still bright. After hearing the reply, he sneered: "The Huns are just trying to be evil for a lifetime. I have understood their tactics afterwards. , it depends on whether Chen Zhi can understand it, if he can, he can suppress the arrogance of the Hu people."

Jiang Hu asked with some confusion: "Master, why do you need to help Chen Zhi? You can go find the Huns again. Is it because the current situation in the court has changed and the Chen family is about to take over the power, so you want to take the opportunity to show good?"
