So I play chess

Chapter 171 I won't tell you

Tang Mingyi was almost startled by Wen Gu's sound and raised his head. Although his heart was shaking at this moment, he immediately calmed down and adjusted his expression, and then slowly raised his head to look at Wen Gu. The little lady didn't seem to notice at all, and she was still staring at The chessboard seemed to be a layout that the opponent had just thought up, and there was some dissatisfaction again.

Tang Mingyi once heard Ling Guangjun tell him that before she took charge of the chess piece, the previous Lingguang Lord took her to make it specially, and the material was brought from Lianzhou, and the requirements were also special.There is only this one in the whole world, and very few people have seen it. It is absolutely impossible for someone to copy it, and there is no point in copying it.

"This chess piece is really unique." Tang Mingyi was still worried, and also afraid that throwing the chess piece back would make it even more abnormal, so he asked Wen Gu directly.

Wen Gu didn't seem to have reacted, first he said "huh?", and then slowly raised his head to look at the chess piece he was holding in his hand, his expression only changed slightly, and then he returned to normal: "How do you put it in the chess piece?" Here it is."

After saying one sentence, Wen Gu reached out to him to ask for it. Tang Mingyi took advantage of the situation and turned the chess piece over to look at it. He saw that there was an indistinct green color on the bottom of it. He felt more certain, and then handed the chess piece to Wen Gu. hands.

"I only have this one, and it will be troublesome if I lose it." Wen Gu checked carefully, and then handed the chess piece to Zhixia, "If you are still so careless, next time I make something to eat, I won't have you." It's up to you."

Zhixia said with a bitter face, "Don't dare anymore", and explained: "The chess boxes are all the same, I may have mixed up when I installed this one, so I put the one that was originally installed alone. Put something else in."

"I'm used to you, you are too careless."

Wen Gu casually said a few words about Zhixia.Seeing that the eldest lady didn't say anything else to her, Zhixia withdrew, probably carefully placing the chess pieces.

However, Tang Mingyi planned to strike while the iron was hot, and asked Wen Gu while placing the chess piece, "That chess piece is exquisitely made, why did this one fall here?"

"It's not just this one that fell here." Wen Gu's expression was obviously relaxed, and he dropped the piece first, and said at the same time, "It's just this one that I got."

"It's all right?" Tang Mingyi picked out the key points in Wen Gu's story, and asked knowingly, "It's not easy for ordinary shops to make this kind of style, and Miss Liu didn't do it herself."

Wen Gu shook his head slightly: "I don't have the ability to make such a pair. The origin of this chess piece is quite interesting. I will tell Mr. Tang after I figure it out."

Both of them had a rather casual appearance, and they tried their best to communicate with each other.Tang Mingyi only felt that Wen Gu obviously knew the origin of this chess piece, and even more so the importance of Li Xun, but he still didn't feel that he trusted him enough, so he didn't want to say anything more.

The thoughts in his mind were spinning quickly, and he immediately found out some possible reasons from the moment.

When he came to Tongcheng this time, Ling Guangjun actually did not fully inform him of the specific root cause of the matter.

And the part about Li Xun is just to save this person's life, because this person has a secret related to Ling Guangjun.

No matter how much more, Tang Mingyi didn't know it at the time, but now, since Li Xun is a craftsman, the chess pieces must have been made by Li Xun or his master.

But thinking about it this way has added new doubts.Tongcheng is so far away, just looking for a craftsman, why do you have to come here?
Presumably there are other things about Li Xun that he doesn't know about.

When Tang Mingyi was thinking about this, the two of them had already passed a few more hands. He thought that since Mrs. Liu thought he was ignorant, he might as well follow the trend and ask more precisely to see what this lady Liu was thinking.

Having made up his mind, Tang Mingyi made a hasty decision, and said at the same time: "I think Mr. Li is a good craftsman. After we entered the city that day, we first saw the raspberries in Nanshi. His skills are very extraordinary."

"Mr. Tang also read it? You must have heard about Mr. Hua, right? Then what do you think?" Wen Gu asked others logically.

Tang Mingyi had no choice but to share some of his rough ideas. It was nothing more than Li Xun's ingenious craftsmanship, Hua Ji's quick mind, and the two had their own merits.

Wen Gu followed his words and continued to ask. The two of them settled down a lot slower, and the topics in their mouths changed very quickly, from the difficulty of getting a harvest, to the public inspection of the city gate, and from the dispute between Yu and Chu to the court of the Great Chu. .

Although what was said was superficial, Tang Mingyi also heard the attitude of the prefect's aunt, and just felt that it was really wrong for Da Chu to be in such a situation.

Although Tang Mingyi agreed, but his mind was not there at the moment, he followed Wen Gu for a long time, and finally brought the topic back to the pawn, saying that there might be few craftsmen like Li Xun in the Great Chu Dynasty Hall. Since Mrs. Liu got such a chess piece, why not Master Li imitate the whole set? With his skills, it should be easy to catch.

However, the prefect's aunt didn't think anything strange about his lack of knowledge, and patiently explained to him the materials for making chess pieces, from Li Xun's hometown Qianlong County, to the respective stone materials of Da Chu Bei Yu Shi material, and even introduced him to the local customs around Tongcheng.

Tang Mingyi only felt that the prefect's aunt's thoughts were too erratic and her mind was too active. He was very good at controlling his emotions, but he almost became irritable several times.

"There is a stone stream next to Qianlong County. I went there a few days ago and caught fish to eat. But the fish there is not the best. If you want to eat fish, go around Qianlong County and go east..."

"In addition to the fish, there is also a special red sandalwood tree. The tree should have grown further to the east, but it grew alone there. If you are willing to chop it into firewood, it will have a special flavor when used to roast meat. But you can't just rely on it. Firewood, meat must be selected for roasting..."

Listening to Tang Mingyi like this, he just felt buzzing in his head. It was not like this when he saw this little lady the few times before, and according to his judgment, it shouldn't be like this.

Maybe it's because he's really young.

In the end, Tang Mingyi also lost the idea of ​​asking carefully, and instead concentrated on the chess game. However, at this time the disadvantage has been determined, and after a few moves, Wen Gu suddenly stopped talking, and said rather happily: "Chengrang .”

Tang Mingyi sighed, not knowing whether it was a pity or a blessing.

It was still early at this time, he thought he had to say another word, but Wen Gu stood up and said, "Let's come here today, and I will invite you to play chess with me tomorrow."

Hearing the words, Tang Mingyi had no choice but to salute, and didn't want to delay any longer, so he directly resigned and left.
