In the listening tide pavilion, Da Zhuguo saw the two riders leaving the mansion with his own eyes, and returned to the pavilion with a smile to sit opposite the chief aide, Li Yishan, and asked softly, "Brother Yuanying, do you think this bastard is trying to trick the little girl of the Yan family?" More, or more than sixty-nine members of Yan Chiji's nerdy family?"

Li Yishan said flatly: "There are all of them."

Xu Xiao said with a smile: "Is the position of Lingzhou shepherd so worthless? The old boy Yan Jiexi is too talkative, thinking that if he has a relationship with Wang Taibao, even if his daughter becomes the imperial concubine by chance, she can escape from my palm Hide at the feet of the emperor and complain about me, and you can bring me down? I don’t even think about who he owes to his daily income in Liangdi these years. Without these gold and silver, what would he use to win over Wang Taibao? Going to be brothers and sisters with Han Diao Temple in Da Nei? On the contrary, Li Gongde is much smarter, and he always remembers who is his real parents. Only such people can live a long time."

Li Yishan said calmly: "Where are there so many docile hawks and dogs at your disposal? Occasionally a few mad dogs jumping over the wall are not to your liking? Ruoliang is peaceful every year. There are no fierce soldiers and horses on the border, and there is no Yan Jiexi These so-called Qingliu loyal ministers who are ready to move, wouldn't it be more difficult for you to sit in this position? Are there not many famous ministers and generals who spend the rest of their lives busy degrading themselves and their names? You are already very good, and you can You have been scolded by the literati for more than ten or twenty years for refusing the princess to recruit a son-in-law, but you haven't broken your spine, so you are proud of yourself."

Da Zhuguo was calm about this and did not make any comments.

Li Yishan laughed at himself a little, "That kid's smugness has faded, but he's even more ruffian."

Not long after Xu Feng returned home at the beginning of the year, when he came upstairs to deliver wine, he was held by hand and talked for a few rounds, and Li Yishan became very angry.

For Li Yishan, no matter how many ways the game of Go is, how it changes vertically and horizontally, it is still a dead thing after all. No matter how big the battle is, it is a ghost formation. , I can't calm down, if I want to nail this guy's ass to the mat, looking for it, the only way is to sit and hide.

In private, Li Yishan admired that kid's innate excellent memory. The two played chess. At first, there were chess pieces, but later the coefficients were removed. It was just a pawn shape in the void, nineteen horizontal and vertical. The root position of the pawn was agreed in advance, and there was no need to go back. After all these years of polishing, Li Yishan won nine and lost one.

Never thought about returning from this trip, Xu Fengnian did not know where he learned endless unreasonable Tesuji. Messy bastard.

Li Yishan, who was sitting cross-legged, was a little helpless, and said with a light smile: "We listened to Chao's ten games, and it seems that we will win four and lose four. This kid has picked up martial arts as I wished, but he beat me in chess. .”

Xu Xiao laughed and said, "There are still two rounds left, don't be in a hurry."

Li Yishan raised his pen, but hung it still in the air, and asked: "The Jijiu from Shangyin Academy wants to play chess with you?"

Xu Xiao hehe said: "That's not true."

Li Yishan sneered and said: "Back then, the nine kingdoms were used as chess pieces, and half of the world was used as a chessboard. They were very bold, but I didn't see them play a few wonderful moves, with high eyes and low hands, sitting and talking about the way. When you hacked and killed them, what kind of layout and chess moves It's all gone."

Xu Xiao said: "Wei Xiong is still studying there, you have to give some face. Otherwise, you will also know my temper, bookishness, and righteousness. These two things are the most stinky to me."

Li Yishan smiled without saying a word.

Xu Xiao suddenly asked: "Do you think Xuanwu should be popular or not?"

Li Yishan asked rhetorically: "Wang Chonglou just cultivated the Daoist and difficult Dahuangting Pass for nothing, so you are not afraid that Wudang Mountain will turn against you?"

Xu Xiao laughed it off.

In the secluded courtyard of the palace.

Xu Fengnian and Lao Kui sat cross-legged in the courtyard corridor, slowly telling every detail of the fight in the snow. If the knife is not decisive enough, the speed of the knife is too fast and there is not enough energy, or if a little bit of energy is wasted inappropriate response, the old man will beat him hard with the back of the knife, and he will give a few concise comments after the lesson.

After all, Lao Kui is a master who uses the knife to the extreme, even if he is not there, according to Xu Fengnian, it is no different from what he saw with his own eyes. Xu Fengnian didn't want that superior formula, and Lao Kui didn't take the initiative to show off his box-pressing skills. The old and the young were like guessing riddles with each other, and they were more patient than anyone else.

The white-haired old man leaned on a vermilion lacquer fence and asked with a smile: "Little boy, since you are going to retrieve the sword box at the top of the city, why don't you learn swords, wouldn't it be more refreshing? Besides, walking in the rivers and lakes, Don’t all young people like to saber? One sword comes east and the other sword goes west, it sounds more powerful than using a knife, hey, what is the word called Yangchun, grandpa forgot it for a while.”

Xu Fengnian sat upright, with Xiudong on his knees, and said with a light smile, "Yangchun Baixue."

"This cold place calls you Xu Caobao, you are wronged!" Lao Kui slapped his thigh with one hand, and slapped His Royal Highness Shizi on the shoulder with the other.

Xu Fengnian laughed at himself: "Grandpa, your eyesight is really ordinary, you are far worse than sword skills."

The old man smiled casually, "Grandpa, I will really leave this place when I fight Wei Beishan, who is wielding a saber, boy, do you have any plans for the future?"

Xu Fengnian put his hand on Xiudong's scabbard, smiled wryly and said: "What else can I do, first go to the cabinet to find the quick-frozen inner strength method, and then resign myself to fate. If it doesn't work, I will swallow all the messy martial arts from various schools and memorize them by rote Well, in the future, I can always take advantage of the enemy in front of the battle. My roots should be quite average, and it is unlikely that I will drop ten times like my grandfather. If I don’t use some tricks that won’t make it to the stage, why? Only then can we go to Wudi City. By the way, Wang Xianzhi really pinched off the 'wooden horse bull' of the older sword god Li Chungang with two fingers back then?"

Lao Kui nodded, feeling sorry for him. For the best warriors in the world, the old monster Wang Xianzhi is always a mountain that has to be faced, so that not to mention defeating him, as long as they are tied, they can be firmly ranked among the top ten masters, which shows that the hundred-year-old The strength of the old man is unmatched.

Xu Fengnian got up slowly, and he had to get up early tomorrow.

Tonight, the future imperial concubine's residence must be in chaos, right

On the second day, a distinguished guest came to Beiliang Prince's Mansion, a teacher from Shangyin Academy. It is said that his status is second only to the Academy's grand sacrificial liquor, and he is one of the three sacrificial liquors. These three people are generally respected as Mr. Jishang, and what they teach is not ordinary classics, but the way of sages.

Scholars from the Shangyin Academy come from all over the world, regardless of region, status, or wealth. As long as they pass the three-year assessment of the academy, they can enroll and become Shangyin scholars. Known as Jixia students.

Nowadays, Qi Yanglong, the great sacrificial wine in the academy, is the national teacher of the current dynasty, with a supernatural status. In the two big debates that moved the world, he won first and then lost. He won the debate of name and reality, but lost the debate between heaven and man, and has rarely appeared since then.

The acceptance of apprentices is harsh. In the past ten years, he has only accepted Xu Weixiong, the second daughter of Rentu Xu Xiao, as a student. He also said that this will be his retreat disciple. The mantle can be passed on, and this life is enough.

In the few letters between Xu Fengnian and his second sister Xu Weixiong, he vaguely learned that this Mr. Ji Shang is a chess idiot, and he likes to watch chess and talk a lot. As for the depth of knowledge, Xu Fengnian didn't doubt it, since he could be the master of the second sister, no matter how bad he was, he couldn't make a difference.

A game of chess was played under the White Crane Tower.

The adopted son Yuan Zuozong stood in the distance, leaving only Xu Xiao from the Dazhu Kingdom and Mr. Ji Shang who came from afar to talk happily.

When Xu Fengnian climbed to the top of the mountain, he could only see the profile of Mr. Wang, with a clear appearance, wearing a plain green shirt, a pair of hemp shoes, and a suet jade pendant tied around his waist.

Facing Xu Xiao on the chessboard, he had a confident demeanor, his demeanor could not be described as unrefined, and his momentum could not be described as clean.

His Royal Highness thought to himself that the sacrificial wine from Shangyin School Palace really has a lot of confidence, no matter how tall an ordinary person is, how dare he not breathe when he sees Xu Xiao? How can there be such a calm and peaceful person.

Experts outside the world, but that's all.

Xu Fengnian collected his mind and approached respectfully. Both Dazhuguo and Mr. Jishang were concentrating on the game, and the battle on the chessboard was in full swing, neither of them raised their heads.

Xu Fengnian, who was in awe, took a closer look and almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

A great master who is familiar with the nineteen vertical and horizontal roads, or a giant dip in the sea, is subtle and far-reaching, condescending. Or delicate and ingenious, precise and strict, killing every step.

But these two in front of me

Xu Xiao is a first-class stinky chess player, Xu Fengnian naturally knows it clearly, at first when he saw the two players playing chess, he thought that it was Mr. Wang who was using elegance to Xu Xiao's vulgarity, but he never thought... Damn, how does this chess game look? What a mess! Just like two children rolling and fighting in the mud, it has absolutely nothing to do with the national level.

Looking at the situation, this Mr. Jishang's chess strength is basically on par with Xu Xiao, no wonder he will be so hard to separate.

What makes Xu Fengnian most unacceptable is that this Mr. Wang thinks that he has played a strong hand, and he has to cooperate with a comment of self-identity, similar to "Don't play wasteful moves and don't be angry, but play big moves rightly, be a big dragon and kill a big dragon." ""When the chess is in difficulty, it is small and pointed, and the elephant takes root to win the trust. Hey, but I don't choose it. This support is so wonderful that it can make you immortal."

Xu Fengnian's eyes widened, but he couldn't see the beauty, only saw the constant dizziness, which was horrible.

Mr. Ji Shang stared at the 50-50 situation, and said triumphantly: "There are three factions in the chess world, a total of eighteen national players, only Zhao Ding'an and Chen Xiping are invincible, and the rest can compete."

Xu Fengnian couldn't help but twitched.

Xu Xiao had no expression on his face, and he refused to make a decision.

Mr. Jishang finally took the time to raise his head, and said kindly: "Your Highness, do you think this young man of Dazhu Kingdom should be discarded or not?"

Xu Fengnian took a slow breath, and said with a smile: "It's hard to say, Mr. Jishang's layout is meticulous and far away. I think Bai probably lost."

Unexpectedly, Xu Xiao was forced to play a good chess move by mistake. Mr. Jishang finally felt the crisis, but instead of responding calmly, he immediately reached out to mention Xu Xiao's move, and said with a cheeky smile : "Da Zhu Kingdom, allow me to regret a move."

Xu Xiao seemed to be used to it, pouted his lips, and signaled the sacrificial wine in front of him to do it himself.

Xu Fengnian was a little dumbfounded.

In the end, Mr. Jishang regretted the game more than a dozen times and narrowly won the game. Xu Fengnian no longer had any reverence or longing for Shangyin Academy after watching it.

Mr. Wang Da patted his buttocks and got up, he said refreshedly: "I have played countless games in my life, and even today, I still haven't lost a single game."

Xu Fengnian accompanied him with a smile and said, "Mr. Jishang is the number one player in the country."

After playing chess, the big player said goodbye and went down the mountain. When he was not playing chess, his demeanor was flawless, full of immortality.

Xu Fengnian stood there in a daze, and murmured: "How can you never be defeated?"

Xu Xiao scolded with a smile: "It's true that he hasn't lost a single game. It's just because he only plays against players who are weaker than him. If he's not sure, he just sits on the sidelines wisely."

Xu Fengnian said distressedly: "Second sister learns latitude and longitude from Mr. Jishang like this?"

After Xu Xiao got up, he looked towards the foot of the mountain and said with a light smile, "Aren't you a national player if you can stand invincible?"
