Xu Jie visited Bianjing City for a day and drank some wine at noon, but he didn't drink much. He had to visit Xie Fang in the evening, so he couldn't smell alcohol.

Cheng Rui was very happy and helped Xu Jie settle in the morning. In a small courtyard thirty or fifty steps away next to the inner city gate, the courtyard was actually not small, and there were three yards. There were even several servants in the courtyard. Each time they entered the courtyard, there were seven or eight wing rooms. Although it was not as good as the mansion of the high-gate family, it was not such a small-gate courtyard.

Xu Jie is naturally satisfied, and if he is too satisfied, he will feel a little embarrassed. This is really a favor, but it also brings some pressure to Xu Jie, because this favor cannot be paid with money. If he can be paid with money, there will be no pressure.

Xu Jie accepted it happily because Xu Jie was confident that he would definitely repay this favor. There was always something that Xu Jie could do for Cheng Rui.

Cheng Rui knew that Xu Jie had something serious in the evening and was almost time, so he said goodbye and left and left a message to see him next day.

Xu Jie naturally had to do a serious business. Then he went to the inner city to inquire. It was not difficult to find Xie Fang's mansion.

But this time, there was no name for the visit, but Xu Jie wrote a reply by himself. Xu Jie knew in his heart that it was not difficult to see Xie Fang, but the difficulty was how to speak up. Because Xu Jie and Xie Fang were really not very close to each other.

There are really political risks in presenting memorials for Ouyang Zheng. Your heart is unpredictable. Who can know how the emperor thinks about Ouyang Zheng?

If the emperor was still angry at Ouyang Zheng, would anyone who submitted a memorial to Ouyang Zheng be angry?

Xu Jie didn't think much, so he had to adapt to the situation and come to the door to ask for a meeting with the letter he wrote.

Not long after, the servant came out to invite him, and Xu Jie walked in.

In the inner courtyard garden, two old men were sitting in a pavilion with wine and vegetables, and there was a game of chess next to the wine and vegetables. Xu Jie, who had just come in, was talking happily. One was Xie Fang, and the other was Xu Jie, naturally, didn't know each other. The two were drinking, playing chess and chatting.

Then he heard Xie Fang say, "Secret Wu, the official is doing his job in this tone."

One breath is a saying in Go. The two breaths connected by two mouthfuls can steadily occupy a piece of land and will not be eaten again. The so-called qi is a space surrounded by a single color chess piece, and the opponent's chess pieces in this space will become dead chess.

In fact, the principle of Go is very simple, it is a game that occupies territory. However, the principle of this game is simple. If you really want to do it well, there are too many tricks in it.

"Brother Xie has lost one thing and always entangled in this small range. My little tips of these four stars have been formed, and I have also started to make plans. I have already gained the general trend. Even if I lose the advantage at the first move, the overall situation will be fine." The person opposite Xie Fang smiled and looked quite contented.

Xu Jie, who had just walked in, heard the conversation between the two and knew that the game of chess has just begun and has just completed the layout stage. Only after the layout is the real battle.

Xie Fang had already seen Xu Jie walking in, stood up, raised his hand and waved, and smiled, "My friend Wenyuan, come quickly, come quickly, I don't want you to come to the capital as well."

The other person also looked back and heard Xie Fang's words and said with a smile: "Brother Xie, is this Xu Wenyuan who wrote the "Three Character Classic" in elementary school?"

Xie Fang nodded: "That's right, I'm so young, I'm really talented!"

Xu Jie also smiled and bowed: "I have met two gentlemen!"

Xie Fang did not have the kind of official high above, but leaned over and helped Xu Jie, grabbed Xu Jie's hand and pulled it to the seat beside him, and said repeatedly: "Sit first, sit first, and wait for us to finish the game of chess."

Xu Jie sat down and looked at the person sitting opposite Xie Fang. He could actually guess a lot, because this person looked similar to Wu Boyan, and he heard Xie Fang call him "The Prime Minister of Wu". This person's identity is self-evident. It is the right servant of the Shangshu Province, and he is actually the right prime minister of the Shangshu Province.

In all dynasties, the title of prime minister was not one person, but many people. Three people, left and right, left and right, were actually prime ministers, also called three people, left and right.

My husband's words are used to claim such a status. It turns out that Ouyang Zheng is also a husband, but now there is no concubine, only the husband.

Xie Fang's enthusiasm made Xu Jie not so restrained. Some servants had already brought Xu Jie a bowl, plate, chopsticks and wine glass. Xu Jie did not move his chopsticks, but looked at the chessboard.

If you want to talk about chess, Xu Jie would also talk about several games with Yun Shuhuan from time to time in Xujia Town. The reason why Xu Jie and Yun Shuhuan can play chess is that they read a few chess scores when they were young, and they were all ordinary chess scores. In Xujia Town, the two had no other opponents, they could only play against each other.

Therefore, Xu Jie can only say that he is proficient in chess, but he is not proficient in it, so he will not talk about his cleverness.

But being proficient is enough for Xu Jie to understand a game of chess. The two people in front of him are obviously skilled. For watching chess, the layout is actually the most difficult to understand. There is a big difference between masters and mediocre players. When fighting face to face, it is easier to understand.

Xu Jie was very interested in seeing it, so he was learning, whether to stand or stand, whether to grow or top, whether to climb or seal, whether to jump or break. Every time Xu Jie understood a move, he nodded repeatedly.

Xie Fang saw Xu Jie nodding repeatedly and smiled, "My friend Wenyuan is good at this?"

Xu Jie waved his hand quickly, saying that he could not be so arrogant at this time: "If you dare not, you can only be considered as knowing how to do it and knowing the rules."

Xie Fang nodded, not wondering whether Xu Jie's words were true or not, but just asked: "My friend Wen Yuan thought I could win this game?"

Xu Jie looked at the chess face again and replied seriously: "My younger generation has very shallow achievements. According to what I think, Mr. Xie has lost the overall situation in this game. If he cannot have continuous tricks, it will be difficult to turn the tables."

Xie Fang laughed when he heard this, put the chess piece in his hand on the chessboard and said, "The so-called trick is lucky to have one move or two moves. How can you have a good luck with the trick? Wen Yuan is right, he lost..."

When he gave up, Xie Fang was free and easy, and did not engage in fearless entanglement.

But he heard Wu Zhongshu on the side laughing and said, "Why do you have to say it out loud? Let Brother Xie vote like this? If you encourage me, let Brother Xie do more tricks, and let me see Brother Xie's anxious look more, wouldn't it be beautiful?"

Xu Jie understood this, because Xie Fang gave up too early, which led to Wu Zhongshu's feeling of enjoyment in winning chess. Before the climax came, Wu Zhongshu's winning point had not come yet, and Wu Zhongshu had not seen the dilemma of Xie Fang holding the chess piece for a long time, so everything was over. With such victory, most of the sense of accomplishment was missing.

"Hey, Wu Xiang, my friend Wen Yuan is not that kind of flattering person. Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked him. He gave me a step, so I naturally have to go down this step, so why bother to fall into such a difficult situation?" Xie Fang smiled, and also relieved Xu Jie's embarrassment. Knowing that Xu Jie would definitely not know how to answer after hearing Wu Zhongshu's words.
