Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 239 Broken!

Jiang Yi was confident in the chess game he had set up, so he was not affected by the news. Early the next morning, the group packed up and boarded the carriage.

The convoy set off, amidst the discussions of the people in the city, and embarked on the road north.

However, Jiang Yi's move inevitably aroused discussion in the city, and many people had different views on his departure.

"Why did Mr. Yiyan leave at this time? Didn't you mean that he left a game of chess for Mr. Chen Zhi and left before the game was broken? Could it be that he was afraid of leaving at this time, right?"

"Brother, what you mean is that you don't know enough about the current situation. Don't you know that a big event happened in Linyi in the north? There was a Hun noble who used his hands to talk and defeated many famous people in a row. He had already asked for help. When the letter is sent, Mr. Jiang should have gone north long ago."

"Yes, it is said that Mr. Jiang stayed here to show respect for Mr. Chen Zhi. This is how the plan came to be."

As such rumors spread, the topic inevitably fell on Chen Zhi.

"Since Mr. Yiyan has gone north, should Mr. Chen Zhi follow him? There have been rumors in the past two days that these two are equally skilled in chess. Since the Huns are so arrogant, then we, the heroes of Middle-earth, should It is right to hit head-on, if there is a saying that Young Master and Young Master Chen Zhi have two swords together, they will be invincible!"

"Save it for yourself. After Guanyue broke the game, you can't tell that these two people are also very excited. Otherwise, how could there be a break in the game?"

"Yes, now that I think about it, Mr. Jiang left such a chess game. If Mr. Chen couldn't break it, how could he go north to meet the Huns? The fundamentals are a little unstable."

Naturally, this rumor spread and fell into the chess game left by Jiang Yi.

"Tell me, is the chess game Mr. Jiang left behind difficult? Can it be cracked?"

"It's difficult, it's definitely difficult, but it's not impossible to crack it, but it can't be done in a short time, so you have to try a few more times, which will definitely take time and cannot be solved overnight."

"But I heard that many people went to visit Mr. Chen yesterday, and Mr. Chen said that he was about to crack the chess game and used this as an excuse to see them off."

"You also said that this is just a reason to see guests off. It's not that easy. Besides, cracking a chess game sometimes relies on a flash of inspiration. How can there be so much truth at all? He said yesterday that he had Maybe if I try this method today, I will find that it is not feasible and that it cannot be cracked."

"It makes sense, just wait for the news over there."

While the outside world is talking a lot, many people from aristocratic families and celebrities who have arrived in Kaiyang also have their own judgments.

"Did Chen Zhi really say that?"

In an elegantly decorated room, there was an old man who was nearly fifty years old, listening to Zhou Yan's report.

This person's name is Zhou Jie, and he is Zhou Yan's uncle. However, the blood connection between the two is not very deep, and they did not come together this time. They happened to meet in Kaiyang County. After hearing about Chen Zhi, Knowing that Zhou Yan had a close relationship with Chen Zhi and his party, Zhou Jie hoped that Zhou Yan could arrange a meeting with Chen Zhi.

However, Chen Zhi's reply was not as he expected.

"Eighth Uncle, why don't you just wait a little, and when Chen Zhi breaks the chess game, I will let you see him as soon as possible."

Seeing that his elder's face was not very good-looking, Zhou Yan couldn't help but persuade him. His uncle also had a certain reputation in Jiangnan, and he was better than Zhou Yan in terms of local quality, so Zhou Yan could only smile with him.

"It's so simple, how can it be so fast?" Zhou Jie glanced at Zhou Yan and said rather unhappily, "The people below you all told me that Chen Zhi did not study the chess game after he asked everyone to leave yesterday. , but returned to the room to sleep. In this case, how to crack it? "

Hearing this, Zhou Yan felt a little embarrassed, and deep down he was even more angry, knowing that several of his servants had revealed this information in order to please Zhou Jie.

It turned out that after Chen Zhi asked everyone to leave yesterday, he went back to his room to rest. Because Zhou Yan was close to Liu Gang, he did not leave with everyone and wanted to go through the back door, so he knew about this. Not only that, but he also Through Liu Gang's relationship, I learned that Chen Zhi had just woken up when he showed up.

If these inside stories were leaked by subordinates, even if they were elders with the same surname, it would inevitably make Zhou Yanyou's subordinates feel like they were cheating.

But the most urgent thing is to explain this matter.

Zhou Jie didn't wait for him to say anything else, so he shook his head and simply said: "There is nothing more to say. Since Chen Zhi despises me, Mr. Zhou, I will not go out to date again. I might as well be like that Jiang Yi In the same way, we can arrange carriages and horses to go north, and we can also pay a visit to the young Marquis."

When Zhou Yan heard this, he quickly comforted him, saying that Mr. Chen was extremely talented and profound, and that he might be able to crack the chess game in a few days, which was evident to the Eighth Uncle.Just saying this, he felt that he didn't have the confidence, so his voice became lower and lower. This was because he was very confident in Jiang Yi's chess game. If it weren't for the sake of his friendship with Liu Gang, he wouldn't be so comforting. .

Zhou Jie became even more angry after hearing this, and was about to say a few words again, but at this moment, a servant rushed in from outside. As soon as he saw Zhou Jie, uncle and nephew Zhou Yan, he quickly confessed.

"What are you doing in such a hurry?" Zhou Jie asked with a frown.

The servant confessed again, and then said: "People from the Chen family have come and said that they invited the old gentleman and the master to go to Guanyue Tower for a while."

"Oh? People from the Chen family? People from Chen Zhi?" Zhou Jie heard this and stroked his half-white beard, "What's wrong? Are you inviting our uncle and nephew at this time? Didn't you say that if the chess game is not broken, you won't go to the appointment or invitation? ?" When he said this, he obviously had an accent, but everyone in the room could hear that there was actually a hint of joy in his words.

This is easy to understand, and Zhou Yan can also understand that Chen Zhi sent out the invitation at this time. According to normal thinking, he must have meant to apologize, because the chess game was impossible to break.

"I heard that the chess game was broken. I invited everyone who was present yesterday to come over and said that they wanted to make amends. The person who came here relayed Mr. Chen's original words, saying that 'the crowd dispersed yesterday. I was really eager to break the game. Please forgive me." .”

"That's right. Young people can't be too arrogant. When it's time to apologize, wait..." Zhou Jie was about to argue, but mid-sentence, he suddenly felt something was wrong, "What did you say? What do you mean? What does it mean that the chess game is broken? What does it mean that the chess game is broken?"

The servant said a little strangely: "It is the chess game left by Mr. Jiang Yi. Doesn't the old gentleman know about it? Now it has spread throughout the city, saying that Mr. Jiang Yi, the Yiyan Young Master, left behind I played a game of chess to Mr. Chen..."

"Stop, stop, stop!" Zhou Jie waved his hand, interrupting his words, "How could I not know about this!"

Now that you know, why ask?
The servant bowed his head and admitted his mistake, but felt aggrieved in his heart.

This is because the servant does not understand the difficulty of cracking the game. He is fearless because of his ignorance, and does not understand the meaning of being deeply embedded in it.

But Zhou Jie and Zhou Yan knew that. The uncle and nephew looked at each other for a moment, and then set off in unison.

Zhou Yan, in particular, admired Jiang Yi quite a lot and did not believe that the chess game left by Jiang Yi could be broken in less than two days. The significance of this was really too great.

"This is so unexpected. Jiang Yi's chess power has always been hidden, but since he dares to make a game-breaking move, he is confident. How can this game be broken in two days? But if Chen Zhi dares to spread the matter, it must be Only those who have met him can know the reason for relying on him!"

The uncle and nephew were thinking about the same thing, so they didn't delay and immediately accepted the invitation and went to the Moon Viewing Tower.

Almost at the same time, many people in the city received invitations. They had all gone to the inn to visit Chen Zhi before. Among them were some people with good reputations, and there were also a few elders like Zhou Jie.

When they arrived at Guanyue Tower, they found that the place was bustling with people. Several floors had already been crowded, not only those who had received invitations, but also those who had heard the news and came to watch the excitement.

It stands to reason that a place like Guanyue Tower is aimed at high-ranking officials and dignitaries. Usually when there are too many people coming, there will be special personnel to disperse them, but the people who came today are either children of aristocratic families in the city or celebrities passing by. , They are all people of status, and if the owner of Guanyue Tower is given the courage, he will not dare to act rashly, otherwise if he is not good, he will be punished with words and writings.

Everyone in the Guanyue Building was busy and chatting in full swing. The people who came here, like the uncles and nephews of the Zhou family, had doubts about whether Chen Zhi had really cracked the chess game, but when they came to the place and saw the formation, they already had doubts in their hearts. The answer is.

If the situation is not broken, it will be a scandal if this drama occurs.

Therefore, when Chen Zhi showed up, after some polite words, showed the chess game and explained his ideas for breaking the game, the whole Guanyue Tower really became excited.

The game-breaking chess game can be solved in two days. Even in the past, few people could achieve this speed. Especially after listening to Chen Zhi's explanation, it is not difficult for those who know chess skills to see that Jiang Yi This game of chess is actually cleverly conceived and contains many traps. Even if the first difficulty is overcome, there are still several hidden stakes hidden behind it, which is very complicated.

"Because of this, Chen Zhi was able to break through this game and show off his skills. But the time was too short. As soon as the news got out, let alone Jiang Yi, how could he have the dignity to show off his chess skills? Challenging the little prince of the Huns? It is estimated that after this banquet, Chen Zhi will leave for the north."

Looking at the black and white pieces on the chessboard, Zhou Jie couldn't help but sigh.

Beside him, Zhou Yan's eyes were dull, and something seemed to be broken in his heart.
