The Rise of the Cold Gate in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Chapter 31
Under the peach grove, Xiao Shu and the other four left for about a stick of incense, and the mission was considered completed. As for wanting to show off their talents, then they can't count on it. If you really want to talk about it, the four of them are reckless in their stomachs.

The four of them stopped, and were about to go back to the summer garden, but they were stopped by a handsome young man on the way, with a small black lacquer gauze crown, a crescent white Confucian robe, without any color, red lips and white teeth, face like snow, eyes like black ink, Noble temperament is inherent, and Duan's demeanor is excellent.

The young man bowed his head, was very polite, and his gestures and gestures showed everyone's temperament. He looked straight at Xiao Shu, although he felt that Xiao Shu was not flattered or humiliated, and his temperament was acceptable, but when he saw Xiao Shu's appearance, he couldn't help but sneer, "Jiangzuo Weijie", But that's all.

It turned out that the young man recognized the wrong person. That night the ferry was pitch black, only the sound of the flute was heard, but he was not seen. He heard his name last night, but he did not meet him in person. Therefore, today, when he saw many talented men, they all praised Mr. Xiao, so they regarded Xiao Shu as Xiao Shu. Qinzhi.

After the ceremony, the young man said in Luoyang official dialect: "I've heard the name 'Jiang Zuo Wei Jie' for a long time, but I haven't met him in person. Today I have fulfilled my wish, and I really look good. I want to talk a little bit, and I hope you can give me your advice."

Before Xiao Shu could speak, there was a burst of laughter immediately under the peach forest, and the talented man said kindly: "Mr. Chen Xiaolang, you have misidentified the person. He is Dalang Xiao. What you are looking for is Erlang Xiao."

Yang Shangbao didn't like this kind of men who smeared cream the most, and stared at him: "Brother Xiao Shi, let's go, ignore him."

The young man was slightly embarrassed, glanced at Yang Shangbao, and said stubbornly to Xiao Shu: "Please tell me where your brother is, I am very grateful."

When the fat old man saw this young man, the visitor was not kind, he seemed to be polite, but he had indescribable arrogance, he was suddenly displeased, and said:
"Who is under your feet?"

The young man changed his name to Chen Tanzhi today, and panickedly said: "Chen Tanzhi from the Chen family in Xiayingchuan, visited relatives here not long ago, and it happened to be a grand event, so I came here to ask Brother Ling."

Although the Chen family in Yingchuan was no better than the top family like the Diao family, but they also attended the second-class family, which was far from comparable to the Xiao family in Lanling. It was a very face-saving thing to come to play chess with Xiao Qin.

There was a slight snickering sound from the side, but I didn't expect that Mr. Chen Xiaolang had such a big background, the fat old man suddenly said:
"My fourth brother—he—he is inconvenient now, please forgive me, Mr. Chen Xiaolang."

The young man looked resolutely, and said again: "I have to leave tomorrow, the opportunity is not easy, please accommodate me."

This is a bit illegal, although the Yingchuan Chen family is famous, but they all said Xiao Qin's inconvenience, how can they force it?The fat old eight choked for a while, and the surroundings were quiet for a while.

Xiao Shu patiently explained:

"My second brother really has something to do, and he can't get away. Please forgive me, Mr. Chen Xiaolang."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Shu was about to leave. The young man wanted to "revenge", so he was not willing to let it go easily. Since he couldn't hit Xiao Qinzhi himself in the face, he would hit his brother in the face, so as to vent his anger, and said:

"Since there is no fate, how about Xiao Dalang talking with me, is it possible?"

Xiao Shu was dumbfounded, he knew how to make a fool of himself, so he quickly refused, as if he wanted to leave.

The young man smiled and said, "Could it be that Erlang Xiaoshi refused all of them, and really dare not talk with each other?"

This is short of pointing at Xiao Shu's face and saying that you and the Xiao brothers are not worthy of their names, they are both decent people.

There was a burst of exclamation under the peach blossom grove. They felt that Mr. Chen Xiaolang was so domineering and rude, and they all looked at Xiao Shu. If Xiao Shu didn't answer, then Xiao's reputation would definitely be damaged.

Xiao Shu stopped, knowing that he could not escape, he quickly whispered a few words to the fat old man, and said coldly:
"Although my chess skills are not as good as my second brother's, I can still talk about it."

"Please!"

This round attracted a lot of attention. When Xian Yi Numa was a teenager, he was competitive and easily attracted the limelight. Even Prefect Xie and Yan Zhongzheng heard about it, and they came forward.

There is a ready-made chess board under the forest, Xiao Shu and the young man are sitting on one side, although Xiao Shu doesn't know Go, but he occasionally sees Xiao Qinzhi playing with old man Cui, and he can walk a few steps just like a gourd.

The ancient chess played by the young man is played every three to nine times. Xiao Shu is familiar with this way, but he is neither arrogant nor impatient. While recalling in his mind, he seems to be thinking at the same time. In fact, he is delaying time and waiting for rescuers.

Xiao Shu's slowness is notoriously slow, so that everyone has an illusion, can he really play chess?

Although it was slow, after a long delay, I finally took a few steps, but it was refreshing. It was a road I had never seen before, and it seemed good. In this way, the slowness can be understood.

In fact, Xiao Shu couldn't bear it any longer, because Xiao Shu mostly caught a glimpse of Xiao Qinzhi playing chess with old man Cui, and only remembered so many ways. If Xiao Qinzhi didn't come again, the game would be over.

The young man held his breath and concentrated, the white stones in his hand continued to fall, and after Xiao Shu procrastinated for dozens of breaths, he glanced at them casually. corner.

After a while, Xiao Shu lost the second corner. Generally speaking, this game is basically over. Ancient chess pays attention to the power of attack and attack, and emphasizes the four-corner competition. In the picture board, two corners are in hand, which has a great advantage .

But it is impossible for Xiao Shu to admit defeat, as long as he does not admit defeat, there is hope of winning. Xiao Shu is full of confidence in Xiao Qinzhi, and still pretends to be calm on the surface, delaying time.

The onlookers were full of anticipation, but it turned out to be one-sided, all tasteless, it is normal to win or lose Go, but you can't lose so badly. When they looked at Xiao Shu again, they couldn't help showing a hint of sneer.

Even Yan Zhongzheng said:

"Black is hopeless."

Xie Taishou watched the chess game and said nothing.

The patriarch was overjoyed at first, but this time the Xiao family has taken the limelight, how could he have imagined that if he didn't care about others, he would have to shout: "Nizi."

The patriarch's face was dark, and he didn't see Fat Tiger and Xiao Qinzhi. He wished he could play for his son and regain some face.

Suddenly, Yang Shangbao saw two figures running towards him in the distance, and whispered in Xiao Shu's ear:
"Brother Qin is here."

Xiao Shu felt relieved, the task was finally completed, put down the chess piece in his hand, pretended to be calm and said:

"Mr. Chen Xiaolang's chess skills are superb, and I can't match them. However, my fourth brother is here, and the rest can learn from each other as much as possible."

Following everyone's gaze, I saw a patch of red under the peach blossom forest in the distance, like a gust of breeze blowing by, revealing the figure of a young man with weak willows supporting the wind, his black hair fluttering, his clothes fluttering, and his face was as white as jade , perfectly natural, stirring a few peach blossoms to fall, and chasing the young man's back with the wind.

Xiao Qinzhi was pleasantly surprised by the fat old man from his deep sleep. When he heard about this, he didn't bother to tie his hair up and dress. He just put on a Confucian robe and ran into the spring garden with wooden clogs.

However, this free and easy scene stunned the audience. Isn't this the detachment, straightforwardness, and eclecticism that people in the Wei and Jin Dynasties yearn for?

Let's say, Xiao Qinzhi was panting, and finally arrived, he didn't care about that, he saw that on the chessboard, the black chess was at a huge disadvantage, it was impossible to win, but he could use the endgame to understand the opponent's strength.

The young man glanced at the big enemy, thinking that the name of "Jiang Zuo Wei Jie" is worthy of the name, but the hatred still has to be avenged, and said: "This game of black chess is bound to lose. If I win you, I will win by force. If not Restart the plate."

Xiao Qinzhi sat on Xiao Shu's seat, with disheveled hair, which interfered with his sight, so he took a piece of grass from the ground, held it in a ring, and casually tied up his long hair.

After carefully watching the moves on the chessboard, he also had some understanding of the young man's chess moves in front of him. After a little thought, he said: "Two wins in three games, this game will be counted."

"Hey!" The chess spectators exclaimed.

The young man was also pissed off, and he dared to underestimate himself. He had never seen such an arrogant person. Could it be that he would win the last two games if he was determined?

But seeing that Xiao Qinzhi clearly woke up just now, the young man thought that he had stayed up all night just to wait for him to fight, and he actually slept in the Bei Ya Ji, and he was immediately enraged again.

Spit: "Don't talk big."

Xiao Qinzhi took a careful look at the young man in front of him now, and thought about what the fat old man said, suddenly felt that this young man was really unreasonable, relying on his background, he was defiant, and he had never offended him, why bother to come here?
Also was angry.

Furthermore, this young man is not ugly, and his appearance is not bad, but he is even smeared with cream, and his body is full of fragrance, but he looks like a sissy, which is the type that Xiao Qinzhi doesn't like.

Xiao Qinzhi yawned, but did not forget to say: "Hurry up, I'm in a hurry."

The proud boy of heaven, has never been said so before, his pale face suddenly flushed with anger, his hand holding the chess piece trembled slightly, thinking: Today, Xiao Qinzhi must be disgraced, and then he will be ruthless in public Only by taunting him can he relieve the great hatred in his heart.

The reputation of the Xiao Clan in Lanling will be damaged by Xiao Qinzhi's arrogance!
The young man thought very well, but the reality is that since Xiao Qinzhi took over the endgame, he never wanted to win this round at all, he just wanted to understand the young man's way.

This made the young man even more arrogant. In the second round, after a dozen or so steps, the young man wanted to go all out and attack to win, but Xiao Qinzhi saw his attack and kill, so he defended, worked hard, and made a good layout. If you don't win in chess, you will lose.

During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Go had just reached its peak, and many ways to play it had not yet been developed. Most people continued the old way, attacking and killing the first requires extremely strong computing power.

In the face of attack and attack, one must either surpass him in killing power, or strictly guard against death. The further back, the greater the chance of winning. As for fighting for calculation power, Xiao Qinzhi is not afraid.

Obviously, in the second game, the teenager lost, very badly, a big defeat in the middle game.

In the third game, the teenager refused to accept and made a comeback, but lost again, which was extremely miserable.

The young man stood up in disbelief, stared at a pair of black eyes, and said angrily: "You wait, I will find me. I. Brother, come, he will definitely win you." After finishing speaking, he ignored Xiao Qinzhi disagreed and ran away.

Xiao Qinzhi felt that this person was so boring, he still wanted to recruit soldiers after losing, wouldn't it mean that if he wins the young ones, the old ones will come, and when he wins the old ones, will there be even older ones, endless.

Xiao Qinzhi wanted to go back to sleep now, unexpectedly, the prefect Xie suddenly said: "Wait a minute, I know that kid, he is very good at Go. Guan Qin's Go skills are quite different It’s different, it’s amazing, I’ve had so much fun watching it, why don’t I show you two sets.”

Yan Zhongzheng glanced at Prefect Xie in surprise, and thought: "Your son is no match for others, so let your daughter come? Just now this little Dalang was bullied by your son, why didn't he say anything to stop him?"

However, Yan Zhongzheng was very happy to see the famous Jiangzuo talented woman lose her halberd to Jinling, so he chimed in and said, "That's fine, Qin Zhi will play two sets. If he wins, he will get a prize. Let me watch your calligraphy, It is taken from Zhong Yao's family, if you don't let Taishou Xie write a copy of Zhong Yao's handwriting and give it to you, it must be of great benefit to you."

As the master, Diao Lun naturally knew the young man's details, so he responded, "Yan Zhongzheng is right."

Xiao Qinzhi was overjoyed when he heard it, and asked weakly: "Can it be the "Declaration Form"?"

Yan Zhongzheng smiled and said, "Of course, if Governor Xie doesn't give it to you, I will give it to you."

Xie Yi glanced at Yan Zhongzheng, stroked his beard and smiled, "Win or lose, I will give it to you."

If you say that, then Xiao Qinzhi will be motivated, just two games of chess, and you can exchange for a copy of the "Declaration Form", which is a lot of money.
