Section 6 Battle Tower
Du Fengchi ordered the shopkeeper a few words and left hurriedly. The shopkeeper had already collected gold before, but now he refused to charge for the meal. He instructed a clever waiter to guide them. He sent them out of Linjiang Tower with respect. When Miss Zhuo walked out of Linjiang Tower, the carriage was already waiting at the door, and the guards were also waiting.
Miss Zhuo suddenly thought of something and asked the shopkeeper: "In addition to places to eat and drink, and places to go out to buy things, what fun is there in Yicheng?"
Yicheng is full of merchants, but apart from eating, drinking and shopping, there are not many places that can be said to be fun. The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment and actually looked at the clever waiter next to him. The waiter said frankly: "Why, Miss, go to Hongyun Lane to have a look? Today is the monthly competition for marching chess in the Yi Zhan Tower in Hongyun Lane. I think your guards are all masters of marching chess..."
The shopkeeper interrupted the waiter's speech and smiled apologized: "Hongyun Lane is indeed lively. Most of the young and young people in Yicheng like to run to Yi Zhan Tower. However, Miss, please tell me if you go to Xunfeng Pavilion first?"
When talking about the Yi Zhan Tower and the Marine Chess Monthly Competition, Miss Zhuo noticed that the guards around him began to prick up their ears and listened. She smiled and said, "Let's go to Hongyun Lane to have a look."
Miss Zhuo turned to the guards and said, "Who lost the worst just now? Take Qiaoer to Xunfeng Pavilion to settle down first, let the others go together."
The guards responded enthusiastically: "Yes." And those who had lost the game just now couldn't help but sigh. The shopkeeper quickly called a waiter to lead the way for them. Du Fengchi had already told him to satisfy the group no matter what.
The waiter trotted all the way, leading them through the downtown city. Although they did not want to attract attention, with the posture and temperament of these guards, they actually wanted to keep a low profile. Manager Liu sat on the shaft next to the driver's guard. After the car started, he whispered: "Du Fengchi was called away just now and said that something happened to the Ye family."
Miss Zhuo pondered slightly and said, "Uncle Liu, send someone to see it. This young master of the Ye family is so interesting."
"Yes." General Manager Liu replied, then he waved his hand and a guard hurriedly came up. "Airspace Qi, go to the Ye family to see what's going on. If you have news, you will get a reward."
The group soon arrived at Hongyun Lane. Hongyun Lane is more than two meters wide. Although there are so many people, it does not seem too crowded. However, in front of the Yi Zhan Tower, people gathered on the three floors inside and three floors inside and outside, and almost couldn't even see the door of the Yi Zhan Tower. At the door was a huge chess board, and everyone gathered around the chess board.
The waiter looked at it eagerly, then beat his chest and stamped his feet: "It was Xie Xiaoyi who entered the monthly final today. If I had known that I would have asked my boss for leave in the afternoon. Now I may not be able to squeeze in and listen to the explanation."
A guard asked, "Is this Xie Xiaoyi very powerful?"
The waiter replied, "It's so good for you to know. I just saw that you all use brass chess pieces and folding chess box chess boards of turmeric wood. This is the highest-level set. The adults are also very powerful. But such chess boards, like us, can't afford it. The villain only has a set of ceramic chess pieces and bamboo chess boards. The chess piece renting in the Yi Zhan Building is very cheap. We who like to play marching chess often come after work. However, their practice is limited, and the chess power is always unfavorable. When they really play, they will always be inferior to those young men from better families. But Xie Xiaoyi is also a small worker like us. He still carries bags at the dock every day. If you want to say that among the poor people in Yicheng, Xie Xiaoyi is a well-deserved master."
Marine chess is easy to learn but difficult to master. It is divided into two-sided chess and four-sided chess. Each side has a certain score at the beginning, and the scores are used to exchange for different types of troops. Some people like cavalry, some people like to mix and some people like to specialize, and the captains of different corpses also need to exchange different scores and different levels. The elite military tactics and human sea tactics developed from this have their own characteristics. Even the generals in the army think that the designers of marching chess must be knowledgeable in military affairs. Among the guards who came with them, there are actually several masters who love marching chess. This Lu Dan, who talked to the waiter, is one of them.
"What's going on with the explanation?" Lu Dan asked.
"Every month final, the chess played by both sides are immediately passed to the lobby outside. Every time, there are two or several marching chess masters to explain why both sides play like this, what are the benefits and disadvantages, and speculate on the advantages and disadvantages of both sides and how to go next. These explanations are very exciting. Many tactics that were originally unthinkable can be understood by these masters at all." The waiter said with longing. "If you don't care about the big chess board outside, no one explains it, just forget it. It's okay if you have a high level, the chess is bad, and you can only know who will lose and who will win in the end, but you don't know why."
When he got closer and saw the name of another chess player hanging next to the big chess board, the waiter was dumbfounded and said, "No wonder so many people gathered. The one who played against Xie Xiaoyi was Suo Zheng."
Lu Dan asked: "This Suo Zheng is amazing?"
The waiter said happily: "Suo Zheng's brother is the second senior brother of Ye's workshop, and he himself is a student of Ye's workshop. Nowadays, several managers in Ye's workshop are busy getting the house of the old man Qi's family. I think there is one of the people in charge of making chess pieces in Ye's workshop. He is a person who deals with chess pieces all day long. Suo Zheng plays chess in a long way, is unconventional, and often uses strange tricks. Everyone likes to watch him play chess, and the super human sea tactic that does not match the lieutenant's field is his first creation."
Lu Dan was stunned when he heard this. Although marching chess in the capital was gradually rising, it was never as lively as Yicheng as Yicheng so that someone could explain and broadcast live around the big chessboard. As for tactics, he was even "lagging behind" Yicheng for several months. This human sea tactic has become a rogue tactic that people in their army laughed and scolded. Where does the super human sea tactic come from?
"This military chess is also a business of the Ye family?" The waiter did not notice that the sound that sounded in his ears came from General Manager Liu. When the waiter and Lu Dan started a conversation, General Manager Liu kept relaying the conversation between the two to Miss Zhuo. Hearing that the military chess was also related to the Ye family, General Manager Liu couldn't help but ask questions.
The waiter nodded vigorously and said, "Yes. The young master of the Ye family created the marching chess. At first, everyone thought that the chess piece was made exquisitely. Later, it was spreading, and everyone began to think that the marching chess piece was really fun. The Ye family opened the chess building and rented chess pieces and boards. We little workers and poor people can also play here, mainly because they can find opponents here at any time. The stinky level is, no matter how rich his family is, they are stinky chess. The rich Han family is the same when they arrive in the building. It's better for us to have a set of ceramic chess pieces. Those rich young men also have specialized in collecting brass pieces. However, the brass pieces carved into human shapes are indeed exquisite and beautiful. I also have a brass crossbowman. There are many ways to play, there were only two people in the past, 4
Individually, some people later created three ways of playing that did not help each other, and some people used many chess pieces to fight together to fight together. Now there is half a floor on the second floor of the Yi Zhan Building to leave a place for the gameplay of big fights. However, there are still more two people fighting each other, and the game is based on this rule. The third floor is a place to select good players to test new gameplay together. It is said that the gameplay of big fights is more exciting and fresh than the gameplay of big fights. The ordinary gameplay is only six types: gunners, halberds, sword soldiers, archers, crossbows, and cavalry. The gameplay of the third floor is said to have 19 types of troops now. If it weren't for the young master of the Ye family who was busy with the house of the Qi family recently, there would probably be more. Several young masters who are familiar with the Ye family were urging them to death. However, it is not easy to go up the third floor. Not only should you play chess well, but you also need to be reliable locally as a guarantee."
Lu Dan said strangely: "What kind of security do you need to do when playing chess?"
