Prosperous Tang Dynasty

Chapter 20
There is a big guy who is willing to pay the bill, and Li Fei feels sorry for himself if he doesn't continue to scrape off more oil.

That Mr. Zhao was a talented person, and he seemed to have a lot of bookishness. Although he didn't take refuge in front of Zhang Yuanming, he owed Zhang Yuanming a favor, and he didn't want to offend Zhang Yuanming, the county magistrate. Zhang Yuanming asked him and Li He didn't refuse when Fei played chess.

Furthermore, chess players are always looking for opponents with comparable chess strength. He also heard about the fact that Li Fei defeated Zhang Yuanming by one piece in several consecutive games in Chen's Chess Building. He knew Zhang Yuanming's chess strength very well. Doing this step shows that the chess skills must be very strong, which just arouses his interest.

Zhao Tang is interested in Li Fei and regards Li Fei as an evenly matched opponent.

However, Li Fei was not interested in Zhao Tang, nor did he regard Zhao Tang as an evenly matched opponent.

As for the chess players in Xunyang County, the only people he feared were the chief chess master of the Chen Family Chess Building, Ji Lao, and the master Zhou Lao, who was invited by the Desheng Chess Building from Chang'an City.

He didn't think that Mr. Zhao's chess ability of this Zhao Tang could compare with Ji Lao and Zhou Lao.

Qingshan College does not prohibit playing chess, but considers it an elegant thing, and encourages it.

So when playing chess, Li Fei and the others didn't need to deliberately avoid the scope of Qingshan Academy to play, but chose the place to play chess in the academy.

"Young Master Li, please go first." Zhao Tang smiled and courted Li Fei, so polite.

Li Fei nodded, and had a good impression of Zhao Tang. He felt that if there was someone in Qingshan Academy who might pass the next imperial examination, this Mr. Zhao Tang might be one.

Li Fei was not polite, picked up the chess piece, and put it on the board with a snap.

Zhao Tang also picked up the chess pieces and started to play against Li Fei.

When fighting the landlord outside the academy just now, some students felt that fighting the landlord was a disgrace to the gentlemen, and they didn't bother to watch it.But now playing chess, which they think is more elegant, is different. In addition, Zhao Tang is recognized as the most powerful student in the academy. layer.

Zhao Tang's chess skills are indeed not weak, Li Fei estimates that he has already stepped into the fifth stage with one foot.Li Fei was not as casual as he was when he abused Zhang Yuanming in Chen's Chess Building a few days ago, but he took it seriously, and respected Zhao Tang in this way.

Zhao Tang may have good chess skills, but he is still not Li Fei's opponent. Li Fei killed his big dragon in the middle of the game.

"Okay, Li Fei's brother is really good, this is the win!" Cao Xiaozhong was so happy that he almost jumped up, and stared at Zhang Yuanming mockingly: "Zhang Xiaoniao, give me the money for Li Fei's brother!"

Zhang Yuanming gritted his teeth and handed over 50 taels of silver to Li Fei unwillingly.

"Come again, this time Zhao Tang will go first!" Zhang Yuanming was not reconciled, thinking that Li Fei had taken the lead and that Zhao Tang lost. No matter what, he couldn't watch Li Fei leave triumphantly with a complete victory.

Zhang Yuanming wanted Zhao Tang to continue with Li Fei, but of course Li Fei had no objection.

Li Fei sneered in his heart, Zhang Yuanming thought that if Zhao Tang went first, Zhao Tang would have the possibility to win him?Not to mention that his own chess strength is higher than that of Zhao Tang, and the various strange chess moves of later generations ahead of Datang for more than 1000 years, the top chess games are beyond the imagination of Zhang Yuanming, Zhao Tang and others.

Sure enough, Zhao Tang still lost the second set.

In the third game, Zhao Tang lost three games in a row. With a wry smile, he had no choice but to abandon his son and admit defeat.

"Mr. Li is superb at chess, Zhao is no match!" Zhao Tang sighed and admitted defeat.

"Brother Yuanming has been implicated, Zhao Tang feels very guilty." Zhao Tang expressed his guilt to Zhang Yuanming.

Zhang Yuanming's face turned black with anger, he gritted his teeth, what he wanted was not Zhao Tang's guilt, what he wanted was that Zhao Tang could defeat Li Fei for him, and get rid of Li Fei's arrogance.

Blame Zhao Tang?Zhao Tang is already the most powerful chess student in Qingshan Academy.He didn't expect Li Fei to be even stronger than Zhao Tang, winning three rounds in a row against Zhao Tang, causing him to lose another 150 taels of silver is a trivial matter, but it made him even more humiliated and ashamed than before, which is a major matter.

Moreover, from Li Fei's chess skills today, it is already obvious that Li Fei was playing tricks on him in Chen's Chess House a few days ago.

"The old man is here to play a game with you!" At this moment, an old voice came.

The students took the initiative to give way.

"It's Old Master Xun!" A student revealed the identity of Old Master Xun.

Old Master Xun is the most respected teacher in Qingshan College. He has been teaching for more than [-] years, and among the students he leads, there are no less than five Jinshi in total.Most of the name of Qingshan College is due to this old master Xun.

Zhang Yuanming was overjoyed, Old Master Xun would definitely win Li Fei, and he said without thinking, "Old Master Xun will still win the lottery!"

These words immediately drew old master Xun's frown.

"Mr. Zhang is vulgar. Old Master Xun has a high moral character. When playing chess with Old Master Xun, how can you judge it by chance? No matter whether you win or lose, you are always asking the old master for advice." Li Fei gave Zhang Yuanming a sideways glance. Facing such a respected old master, Li Fei didn't dare to show off at all, and his attitude was sincere.

Old Master Xun smoothed his white beard and nodded very satisfied.

Zhang Yuanming was stunned, and knew that he had fallen in front of Old Master Xun just now, which caused Old Master Xun's dissatisfaction, his face turned blue and white with anger, but he didn't dare to continue talking.

"Young Master Li please go first." Old Master Xun raised his hand, signaling Li Fei to go down first.As a respected senior, he should let Li Fei, a young man in his teens, no matter what.

Li Fei was not polite, picked up the chess piece and put it on the board with a snap.

Old Master Xun also calmly picked up the chess pieces and followed suit.

The two of you and I made more than a dozen moves, Old Master Xun couldn't help frowning.

"Master Li has never encountered such an opening, so clever!" Old Master Xun frowned, sighed slightly, and continued playing chess with Li Fei.

Li Fei smiled, but did not respond, and the two continued to play chess silently.

Old Master Xun's chess skills are superb, no worse than some old fellows in his previous life in the military and political compound. Li Fei had to use all his strength, relying on his 1000-year-leading opening experience, chess moves, etc., to slowly suppress Old Master Xun chess position.

What Li Fei didn't know was that Old Master Xun had once played against Ji Lao from Chen's Chess House, winning one, drawing and losing three times, and was known as the second best player under Ji Lao in Xunyang County.

Relying on his advanced experience and his ability to suppress Old Master Xun at the beginning of the game, Li Fei gained the upper hand all the way, making unceasing killing moves, while Old Master Xun frowned, shaking his head and sighing from time to time.Li Fei's white pieces became bigger and bigger, while Old Master Xun's black pieces were gradually killed to pieces, and defeat was inevitable.

About half an hour later, Old Master Xun had no choice but to abandon his son and admit defeat.
