late Qing Dynasty

Chapter 56
"Yes, my lord." Zhong Yi went to the desk over there, and sure enough, he found Go underneath.

"My lord, the chess pieces and the chessboard are here." Zhong Yi raised his hand and compared to me.

"Then borrow the master's territory and go, and let's have a good time."

I stood up and walked towards the table. At this time, Zhong Yi had already set up the chessboard.

"My lord, let's wait here forever!" Mei Shuang couldn't help asking.

This girl has a simple mind and is a master who can't hide her words. After a while, she started talking to me again.

"Why don't you go first?" I teased her.

"Let's go, whoever is afraid of whom!" Mei Shuang snorted coldly, turned around and walked towards the door.

I concentrated on playing chess with Zhong Yi, but before I took a few steps, I heard Mei Shuang's angry voice.

"Well, you brat, you dare to put our lord under house arrest. See if I won't fight with you!"

As Mei Shuang said, she already made a move towards Chen Yucheng, and soon, the two fought fiercely. The soldier next to him wanted to fight, but was scared back by Chen Yucheng's loud shout.

I sat on the soft bed and watched them fight with leisure. I knew that Chen Yucheng would not do anything to Mei Shuang, and with Mei Shuang's ability, she couldn't suffer.

After the two of them had gone through a few tricks, Mei Shuang quickly lost the upper hand, and was held down by Chen Yucheng's shoulders by Chen Yucheng, and was firmly captured by his hands.

"The little girl is really pretty!" Chen Yucheng let go of Mei Shuang, and laughed softly a few times.

Mei Shuang glared at Chen Yucheng angrily, her small face was flushed with anger, she pointed at Chen Yucheng's nose, and said angrily, "It's so great to beat a weak woman! If you have the ability to beat us adults!"

"Snapped!"

A chess piece in my hand suddenly landed on the chessboard, and I looked at Mei Shuang speechlessly, she is more cheating than a cheating father!
I won't show it to others easily unless it's a last resort. After all, I don't want to cause trouble for myself.

In everyone's eyes, I am a literati with no power to restrain a chicken, and Tang Zhongzheng has no kung fu at all.

"Hehe, brother Tang, what's the matter, are you interested in a discussion?" Chen Yucheng looked at me, full of interest.

I picked up the chess piece on the chessboard in a disguised way, and said with a smile, "Brother Chen, this is a joke. The next civil servant will not be able to wield swords."

"But what this girl meant just now seems that brother Tang's martial arts are not weak." Chen Yucheng continued to hold on to Mei Shuang's words.

Seeing my refusal, Mei Shuang immediately stood up to smooth things over for me, "Don't bully our lord, I was just confused by your anger."

"Well, since Mr. Tang doesn't know martial arts, I'll play a game with Mr. Tang." Chen Yucheng said, walking towards me.

Seeing the situation, Zhong immediately retreated to the side, and Chen Yucheng sat in the position he liked just now, looking at the few steps we just took, he was dumbfounded, "It seems that I met a master today."

"Where, I am very good at playing chess, Brother Chen, don't make fun of me."

I’m telling the truth, my chess skills are really average, and I haven’t played it for many years. In the 21st century, my grandfather is an old chess fan. When I was very young, he trained me to play Go. Unfortunately, I wasn't interested, and it was deserted halfway.

"Brother Tang, don't be polite. Judging from your first few steps, Brother Tang has clearly gained the upper hand, and has captured most of the favorable positions." Chen Yucheng analyzed seriously.

Actually, I really want to say something, big brother, I really just put them indiscriminately!

"Hehe, it looks like Brother Chen should be a master." I continued to pretend to be calm.

No, I can't play Go with him. If I lose, I will definitely be looked down upon by him, and it will be even more difficult to win him over.

"I can't be considered a master. He leads troops and fights all day long, so he has no time to study these things. He is the master of this house, but he is a master of chess." Chen Yucheng said modestly.

"The owner of this house must be an elegant and knowledgeable person. I wonder if I am lucky enough to get to know him?"

I was very curious in my heart, what kind of person could live in such a house.

"Hehe, brother Tang is really thoughtful, the owner of this house is a strange person!" Chen Yucheng immediately praised the owner of this house, but he never mentioned who the owner of this house is.

Since he didn't want to say more, I had no choice but to change the topic, "Brother Chen, don't you want to keep me here forever?"

"Brother Tang is a rare talent. As long as Brother Tang submits to my king, he will definitely..."

I waved my hand to stop him from continuing, "Brother Chen, if you don't want to see the blood of the Taiping Army flow into rivers, you'd better make a plan now."

"Brother Tang, do you still think that my Taiping Army will be defeated?" Chen Yucheng chuckled a few times, disapproving.

It seems that although he is brave and resourceful, he is a dead-headed person. I need to work harder.

"Brother Chen has been out for so long, and he must have thought about it in his heart. In this troubled world, the most indispensable thing is heroism and loyalty, but what is missing, brother Chen, have you ever thought about it?"

A look of hesitation flashed across Chen Yucheng's eyes, and he asked me, "What's missing?"

"What is missing is people who can drive the invaders out of China, what is missing is people who can make the common people have enough food and clothing, what is missing is people who can make foreigners look at us with admiration! What is missing is people who can make the land of China enjoy peace forever!"

"Can the Taiping Army do this?" I asked him.

I believe that with his intelligence, he should be able to understand that their so-called Taiping Army is nothing more than relying on the lies of the gods to deceive the common people. Compared with the incompetent Qing government, they are not much better.

"But how do you prove that you can do all this?"

Chen Yucheng has already begun to waver. I believe that any man with blood and patriotism will be shaken, because what I said is exactly what they most want to achieve in their hearts.

"Just here." I pointed to my head and looked at him firmly, "I know how to save the Chinese nation from peril, I know how to help the common people overcome the famine, and I know what kind of road is most suitable for the present China, I know how to build a weapon that makes the whole world go crazy."

"This is all your own side..."

"How can you trust me?" I interrupted him, staring at him seriously.

Chen Yucheng thought for a while, then stood up suddenly, "Unless you can beat me, just use kung fu, as long as you can beat me, I will work with you!"
