Sima Yi's Three Kingdoms Collection Collection

Chapter 373 Desperate to Capture, Sima Yi Retires and Returns Home (8)
The more Cao Shuang thought about it, the more angry he became - this Wang Guan is too disrespectful to the general!That being the case, this general will not give him any face!In a fit of anger, he called Cao Shou, "Take forty soldiers to accompany Zhang Dang to the Shaofu Office, and ask old Mr. Wang Guan to bring the Dayu Jiuding to my general. If he doesn't give , beat until he obediently surrenders!"

After finishing the order, he went to drink and have fun with Cao Xun, Cao Yan, He Yan, Ding Mi and the others.

After more than an hour, I saw Cao Shou and Zhang Dang leading forty soldiers back carrying four large wooden boxes.Needless to say, they still brought Dayu Jiuding.But Cao Shuang saw that Cao Shou's helmet strap was also torn off, half of his cheek was swollen, and Zhang Dang's nose was crooked and bleeding, and his face was bruised!
"What's going on?" He Yan asked in surprise.

"Alas! My nephew and Mr. Zhang went to the Shaofu Office to ask for the tripod. That old guy Wang Guan refused to hand over the key to the warehouse, and kept saying that 'the most important weapon of the country and the lifeblood of rites must not be abused'... The little nephew was upset when he heard that, so he stepped forward and punched him, and the fight broke out in two blows!" As soon as Cao Shou saw Cao Shuang, he offered his credit, "General, you don't know, although this old fellow Wang Guan He is nearly [-] years old, but after all, he was the prefect of Hefei and took charge of soldiers and horses. His bones are still very strong. The nephew tried his best to snatch the warehouse key from his belt, and then opened the warehouse door and took out the key. Dayu Nine Cauldrons..."

But Zhang Dang said to He Yan with a worried face: "Master He—that old guy Wang Guan is really stubborn. During the fight, he slammed into the door of the warehouse, causing his own head to bleed... ...and shouted desperately, "Wang's ineffective defense of the treasury caused Dayu Jiuding to be robbed by wild thieves. It is really shameless to see Emperor Taizu Wu, Emperor Gaozuwen, and Emperor Liezuming underground!" Mr. He, what happened today It's getting a little big!"

"This..." He Yan frowned, and a cloud of sadness suddenly appeared on his face.

"It's no big deal!" Cao Shuang didn't take it seriously, "If he wants to die, he will die by himself! Shou'er—you've done a good job! Give Uncle Wei a majestic presence in front of the people all over the world today. Let's see which old man dares to stand up to the general in the future! Go—take these soldiers to the accountant in the front yard to receive the reward!"

At the banquet, Cao Xun and Cao Yan also yelled and cheered for Cao Shou.Yu Song, who was sitting in the corner of the pavilion, saw all this in his eyes, and a faint loathing flashed across his brows.This kind of brutal act of violence, shouting and killing, could it be the actions of a dignified Fuguo general?It's almost the same as the grass bandits who dominate the mountains!
Under the bright light, the chessboard carved from purple jade lay quietly flat on the table.This chessboard is two feet square, the central line is high and raised like a roof ridge, but the four corners are obliquely concave.In the grooves on the left and right sides of the chessboard, there are two rows of shining jade chess pieces in the order of the twelve earthly branches such as "Zi", "Chou", "Yin" and "Mao".

The row of playing chess pieces on the left is emerald, and at first glance, it seems to be immersed in a bottomless green wave, and the traces of yellow texture emerging from the chess body are slowly rippling like ripples; while the row on the right The whole body of the playing chess pieces is bright yellow, and the emerald patterns on the coiled chess pieces are like belts, vivid and vivid like the clear streams of oases in the desert.This kind of jade quality, this texture, and this color are enough to show that these two pairs of jade carving chess pieces are rare treasures, hard to find in the world.

Ever since Wei Lie first saw the chessboard and chess pieces, he couldn't help admiring them. He had also seen countless finely carved chess pieces, but the one he saw today was really his I only saw it in my life, just like Bole saw a horse for the first time, he was so happy that he couldn't put it down.

Sima Zhao pointed at this set of playing chess, and introduced with a smile: "Wei Liejun, this set of playing chess is the ancestral treasure of our Sima family. Today Zhao is honored to invite you to play chess. It's a momentary honor for this chess set!"

Wei Lie, as the General Secretary of Zhongshu Province, although he is a close servant of the emperor, does not have the moderate and peaceful nature of his father Wei Zhen, and has always been informal, talkative and active.Hearing what Sima Zhao said, he grinned and said, "Ah! Mr. Sima, do you know the origin of your ancestral treasure? It is the three-talent bomb made by the famous domineering general Liang Jiling in the previous dynasty. The treasure of chess. Its chessboard is called Ziyuliang; It's so enviable!"

"Well...how can we just admire it so much? It's time to place a bet!" Sima Zhao took out a black pearl the size of a pigeon egg from his sleeve, held it in his palm and said with a smile, "Zhao this black pearl Are the pearls worth hundreds of thousands of baht? How about it? Mr. Wei Lie, play chess first!"

"Oh! Mr. Sima, the bet you made is so big!" Wei Lie couldn't help being surprised when he saw it, but at the same time, he picked up a green snail gold marble chess piece on his side and looked at it with his fingertips. After a while, he put it back on the "Zi" position in the groove of the chessboard in front of him, and flicked it with his right middle finger, "That's good! Wei, it's better to be respectful than obedient, and make a move!"

His finger flicked the Biluo Jinban chess piece to fly upwards obliquely, drawing a beautiful arc, crossing the arched ridge in the middle of the chessboard, and hit it with a "ding" sound. I took the Jinsicui playing chess piece on the groove of the chessboard on Sima Zhao's side, which is located in the character "zi"!
You must know that this kind of attack by bouncing in the air is far more difficult and complicated than the attack by plane relative to each other.Wei Lie was able to hit the opponent's chess with one move, he can be called a superman with precise ball skills!

"Hehehe! Mr. Wei Lie is worthy of being a national chess player. He hit it with one blow without any mistakes!" Sima Zhao applauded and laughed, and put the black pearl on the corner of the table in front of Wei Lie. It's your prize!"

Wei Lie laughed, and then pressed his finger on the green snail golden bullet chess piece on the "ugly" groove on this side of the chessboard, and squinted at Sima Zhao: "Mr. Sima——what is your next bet?" What?"

Sima Zhao took out another piece of crystal clear and moist suet jade pendant from his sleeve, and put it generously on the corner of the table in front of him: "The value of this jade pendant is not less than [-] baht. Chess!"

"Okay! As long as you can afford to lose, I, Wei Lie, have nothing to say!" Wei Lie hadn't finished speaking, and with a movement of his fingertips, a yellow light pierced through the air and shot to a height of more than three feet in the air. It fell straight down again.There was another crisp sound, and the Jinsicui chess piece on the "ugly" character in the groove of the chessboard on Sima Zhao's side was hit by him again!

There was no hesitation on Sima Zhao's face, and with a wave of his right hand, he handed over the suet jade pendant again!

Wei Lie took the mutton fat jade pendant and admired it for a moment, then asked Sima Zhao with a grin, "How is it? Is Sima Jun feeling a little distressed after losing? Can you still gamble?"

"Of course I still have to gamble!"

This time Sima Zhao took out a string of colorful coral bracelets from the red sandalwood box he brought behind him, and slapped them on the table: "Zhao will bet this string of bracelets again!"

There was a sound of "ding", and he lost this string of colorful coral bracelets again.
