Chapter 435: Feeling empty in my heart(1/2)
(I'm sorry, I had a sunburn and felt uncomfortable for several days...)
"Why do you recommend others?"
Lu Xun was furious when he saw Zhuge Liang staggering. He raised his head and glared at Sima Yi with a red face.
Sima Yi had never seen anything in Shuofang. He usually dealt with adults, and he really had no interest in talking to children, so he said lazily: "Just because I am Sima Yi."
After saying that, without waiting for a few people to react, he walked straight to the high platform. At this time, people from Dongcheng College had been waiting for a long time and saw the noisy scene on their side.
It's just that the distance was too far, so he didn't know what happened at all. He just thought that the people at Heluo Academy were anxious because of the loss.
"Hahaha, your Heluo College is so interesting, do you have to send boys to compete?" the scholar from Dongcheng College sneered.
Sima Yi was too lazy to pay attention and knelt down on the futon. He said in a solemn tone: "Instead of being so long-winded, it is better to think about how to explain to your classmates if you lose."
The scholar was stunned.
Sima Yi signaled the referee to guess first. The referee looked at Lu Su, Zhuge Liang and others, and saw that although they were filled with indignation, they had no objection to letting this person represent the academy, so he nodded slightly and signaled the start.
"Heluo Academy goes first, please."
"Thank you."
Sima Yi took the chess bowl, held it with his index and ring fingers, tapped his middle finger, picked up a black stone and dropped it on the chessboard.
When the scholar saw this, he didn't bother to argue with a little brat, and then let it go without paying any attention to it.
Sima Yi's expression did not change and he continued to make moves without any hesitation or hesitation.
The two of them went back and forth, and in an instant they reached the sixty-seventh move.
At this moment, someone in the audience suddenly shouted: "Silly, this white guy has been played so far, I would have surrendered long ago."
The sound was so loud that the scholar naturally heard it and was stunned. He couldn't help but look up at the big chessboard on one side.
As the saying goes: The authorities are confused and the onlookers are clear.
When he jumped out of the chessboard and looked at the entire game from the perspective of a bystander, the scholar instantly discovered the problem.
It turns out that I don't know when, someone has locked the dragon. As long as the chain is closed, at least 70% of the white stones on the chessboard will be eaten. The reason why the opponent is not in a hurry to lock the dragon is because he wants to use it.
The dragon divides the gold and ends.
The scholar's face changed greatly, and he remembered the last chess game. Heluo Academy lost because of the rules of Youlong sharing gold. This game was won by Youlong sharing gold. He simply didn't take himself seriously... How unreasonable?
!
Sima Yi narrowed his eyes and chuckled: "Did you notice it? It's really boring. I'm still a few cents short of the Youlong gold."
The scholar looked at this boy who was seven or eight years younger than himself and almost spit out his blood. Are you so playful with people?
You're not playing chess, you're trying to kill someone.
"I, I admit defeat." The scholar raised his hands with difficulty and ran down the platform angrily.
Sima Yi picked up a chess piece, suddenly sighed with laughter, and murmured: "Oh, I'm in trouble again."
He took out his pocket watch and took a look at it. Fortunately, he only wasted a stick of incense. Sima Yi stood up, patted his knees, and walked straight to the high platform.
Seeing this, Xu Shu and Cai Heng hurriedly followed and asked curiously: "Why, you were so excited just now, but now you are no longer interested?"
Sima Yi shook his head and said: "Brother Xu is laughing, I still haven't practiced enough and shouldn't waste time on such trivial matters."
Xu Shu chuckled and said: "That's okay. Wei Jun once said that people can't tighten themselves too tightly. Once in a while, you have to relax. This black and white way is good, and it's also a good pastime."
Hearing this, Sima Yi said solemnly: "No, I can't relax for a moment until I complete the task assigned by Master."
···
"It's so strong!"
Looking at Sima Yi and the other three people walking away, Zhuge Liang and others looked at each other in shock.
Pang Tong frowned and said: "Should I say it or not, this man's chess skills are very good. I think he is on par with A Liang."
Zhuge Liang looked back at the big chessboard on the background of the high platform, frowned and said, "I'm not as good as him."
Fazheng and others looked at each other and fell silent.
They no longer cared about Sima Yi's rude behavior just now.
When a person is strong enough, no matter how perverse his behavior is, it can be forgiven.
"I'll do the last round." Zhuge Liang looked at Sima Yi walking away and said firmly.
···
There is a high-end pastry shop not far from the arena.
Two petite figures peeked out from the private room on the second floor, covering their faces with sticks for fear of being discovered by passers-by.
"Niu Niu, can you see clearly? The boy you are talking about hasn't come on stage yet, right?" Aning asked while helping Niu Niu hold up the window.
Niu Niu said "Hmm" twice, pointed at Zhuge Liang who was about to take the stage, blushed, and said: "There, there!"
When Aning heard this, he couldn't help but look towards the arena, and the stick in his hand was casually placed on the window sill.
Unexpectedly, the stick spun around, fell off the eaves, and fell onto the street again.
"Hey young!"
"Oops, we hit someone." An Ning spat out his tongue and hurriedly closed the window.
But after all, it was a step too slow.
When Sima Yi raised his head, he happened to see An Ning sticking out her tongue. He thought she had hit someone and was still feeling proud of him, so he suddenly became very angry.
"Okay, which family's lady is so hateful?"
Cai Heng joked: "It seems that you are a supporter of the talented scholar from Dongcheng College just now. Who made you win his sweetheart?"
Xu Shu also laughed and looked at Sima Yi's head. Good guy, there was a bump on his forehead.
Sima Yi angrily picked up the stick, which was made of rosewood. This guy was not light, so no wonder it hurt so much.
Just then, the window opened again.
"Hurry up and apologize. How can you not apologize if you hit someone?"
"I didn't mean it. The stick rolled down on its own. Sister Hao Niang, please let me go. My ears hurt so much."
Hao Niang let go of her hand angrily and looked at the pedestrians on the street. At this time, many people glanced up casually.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! They thought it was a little excitement, but when they saw Hao Niang’s appearance, it was almost visible to the naked eye, with the tavern as the center, a radius of 20 meters
Everyone inside was deadlocked.
Suddenly there was the sound of something falling to the ground, the sound of earthen pots breaking, and a small traffic accident in which a donkey, cart, and horse-drawn carriage collided.
Hao Niang seemed to be used to such scenes. She looked at Sima Yi who was holding a stick. She was startled for a moment, then smiled and said: "It turns out that Xiao Yi is back. Could it be that you were the one who hit him?"
Sima Yi and the other three came to their senses immediately and bowed respectfully to Hao Niang, "Sima Yi (Cai Heng, Xu Shu) has met Hao Niang."
Hao Niang smiled gently and said: "It looks like the injury is severe. Come up first. I have some small methods to reduce swelling and blood stasis. By the way, let this girl make good amends to you."
When Aning saw that the person he hit was actually his senior brother, he stuck out his tongue guiltily and gave Sima Yi a 'honest' giggle.
Concubine Hao personally invited her, so Sima Yi and the others naturally did not dare to neglect.
On the first floor, the female guard searched and touched them all over their body. The three of them were so embarrassed that they ran upstairs in a hurry.
The decoration of this pastry shop is very luxurious, and it mainly deals with the ladies and ladies of the Luoyang family.
Therefore, as soon as the three of them went upstairs, they felt that the room was full of fragrance, not the smell of wheat from pastries, but the fragrance of flowers from various rouges and gouache.
"Young, why is there a man upstairs?"
"Isn't that the young master who was playing chess in the ring just now?"
At this time, the box door at the end of the corridor opened, and a female guard stood there with a sharp sword.
Seeing this, the girls all went to the box to perform blessings, while Sima Yi and the other two trotted over with red faces.
The female guard glanced at them, then clasped fists with Xu Shu and said, "I have met Governor Xu."
Xu Shu returned the gift with his hands raised, even saying he didn't dare.
After entering the private room, there is a magnificent living room outside, with a round rosewood tea table in the middle and four small round stools.
Facing the north side of the door, there is a gauze screen with paintings of mountains and flowing water, gold threads as the sun, and silver threads as the river, which is extraordinarily noble.
Several graceful figures loomed behind the screen, and you could hear them discussing something in low voices.
At this time, Hao Niang said: "Sit down and talk. It's rare that Governor Xu is here. Let's talk about the situation in Shuofang. I heard that after winter, there are still people traveling on the trade routes to the Western Regions. I don't know if it's true or not.
?”
Xu Shu and the three of them took their seats one after another. Immediately, a maid brought freshly baked cakes and various pastries, as well as a glass teapot. In front of the three of them, they added hot water and fragrant tea and placed them on the scented candle to warm them.
"There are indeed caravans coming and going as usual, thanks to the old general Huangfu guarding the Anxi Protectorate. Nowadays, many foreigners have settled in our Han Dynasty to survive. They do not have Han household registration and cannot be allocated land and fields. They can only make a living by doing business.
Therefore, we never stopped doing business."
"I see." Another woman said, obviously she asked Hao Niang to ask this question.
