Staying in the inn, the service in the inn is not bad, hot water is available at any time, after a few days of travel, Chu Huan was dusty, took a bath, and then changed into clothes made of Linlang, which fit very well, and the material of the clothes is excellent, wearing on the body, it is not ostentatious, but it is very comfortable, and the new shoes are also the right size, Chu Huan secretly sighed, although Linlang was born rich, he was also considerate.

In the evening, the shopkeeper brought the food, and ate it in the house, and suddenly heard a knock on the door, Chu Huan got up, walked to the door, and asked softly, "Who is it?" ”

"I live next door, and I heard that there is a brother to live here, so I came to get to know him." The voices outside sounded very enthusiastic.

Chu Huan frowned, the inn guests, come and go, you don't know me, I don't know you, even if you live next door, there are few people who greet each other, but since the other party is here, Chu Huan is not easy to refuse people.

He still remembered that before he moved in, a tall man came out next door, and he didn't know if it was that person outside the door at this time.

When I opened the door, I found that outside the door was a short man dressed in coarse cloth clothes, with a beard, which was different from the tall man I saw before, I thought it was the person's companion, as soon as I saw Chu Huan open the door, the man had already smiled and said, "Excuse me!" ”

This person is smiling in life, looking very kind, Chu Huan also bowed his hand and said, "It's okay, but I don't know what to advise?" ”

The man smiled and said: "In Xia Changyi, I heard that Brother Tai only moved in today, so I came to say hello, go out, make more friends, and there are many roads." ”

Chu Huan smiled: "It turned out to be Brother Chang." ”

Chang Yi looked inside the door and asked with a smile, "Brother Tai is only one person?" ”

Chu Huan said: "Yes." ”

"Hmm." Chang Yi said with a smile: "Actually, I just came over to say, everyone comes from all over the world, Chang Mou only came to the capital in the past few days, and he is very unfamiliar with the capital." But since you can live next door, Chang and Brother Tai are also fate, if there is anything that needs help, say it in the past, and you will do your best to help. ”

Chu Huan smiled: "Brother Chang is polite. ”

"Don't bother." Chang Yi smiled and said, "See you later!" Leaving with a smile, Chu Huan nodded, and when he saw him leaving, he closed the door, thinking that Chang Yi seemed to be looking inside his house, but he didn't know what he wanted to do.

However, Chu Huan didn't care, the soldiers would block the water and cover the earth, even if the other party had other intentions, Chu Huan was not afraid.

Chu Huan had to wait for Sun Desheng to send the news, so he didn't leave the next day, until after noon, Sun Desheng finally found the Huiyuan Inn, and after entering, he immediately said: "General Chu Wei, I've kept you waiting." ”

Chu Huan smiled: "It's annoying that my father-in-law is working hard. ”

Sun Desheng said: "General Chu Wei, I'm afraid you'll have to wait a few days." He lowered his voice and said, "Our family has seen His Highness, but His Highness is in a bad situation now." ”

Chu Huan frowned and said, "What does my father-in-law mean?" ”

"Scholar Xu wrote a letter, when His Royal Highness Chen was in Yunshan Mansion, he left Xingyuan without permission, this matter has been known to the queen, and the queen asked His Royal Highness to think about it in Chengxin Palace, and he can't take a step out of Chengxin Palace for a while." Sun Desheng sighed and said, "Your Highness asked our family to tell General Chu that you will stay here for a few days for the time being, and he will find an opportunity to let you enter the palace and let you rest easy." ”

Chu Huan thought for a while and said, "Your Highness commands, Chu Huan should obey." "I don't know how long I have to wait, and I don't know how King Qi will arrange himself when he turns around.

Sun Desheng seemed to see what Chu Huan was thinking, and said softly: "General Chu Wei, you don't have to worry about the future. Since Your Highness appreciates you and finds you an official position, it is a matter of ease. ”

Chu Huan said with a smile: "Chu Huan understands that as long as he can serve His Highness, Chu Huan should be loyal. ”

Sun Desheng said: "There are many places to visit in the capital, if the guard general is bored, walk around, and the days pass quickly." The queen mother is in anger these days, but she loves Her Royal Highness very much, and she will be angry in a few days. As long as the queen's motherhood disappears and the ban is abolished, Her Royal Highness can summon you to the palace. ”

Chu Huan nodded yes.

Sun Desheng didn't stay in the inn for long, and after a few words, he took his leave, and went out to pass in front of the door next door, and in the crack of the door, there was a pair of eyes staring at Sun Desheng until his figure disappeared from the inn.

Since Sun Desheng brought this, Chu Huan could only come and be at ease.

On this day, Chu Huan didn't go out, but just stayed in the house to practice, and the "Dragon Elephant Sutra" had broken through the first "Zhaolun" Dao, and its role Chu Huan had also been discovered.

Compared to before, Chu Huan's breathing was very different, only he knew this feeling, but he didn't know when the second "Floating Dust Dao" would be able to break through.

Only in the literal sense, Chu Huan couldn't figure out what effect practicing the "Floating Dust Dao" would have on his body, but he also knew that this "Dragon Elephant Sutra" was indeed a miracle feat, and the "Wheel Path" had been able to put himself into a state of suspended animation, and the "Floating Dust Dao" was a higher level than the "Wheel Wheel", and its role must be extraordinary.

……

Not far from the Huiyuan Inn, there is a restaurant, and Chu Huan sat on the restaurant at this time to drink and watch the scenery.

It has been two days since he came to the capital, and there has been no news from Sun Desheng's side, but Chu Huan has been waiting patiently, the weather is getting better and better day by day, but this Baitong Fang is also very lively.

Baitong Fang is one of the many squares in Xicheng, not far from Xicheng Eryuan City, only two streets apart.

Sitting on the top of the restaurant, looking down by the railing, the streets are clear and horizontal, the boats and horses are like streams, the heavy buildings are extended to the pavilion, the elm willows are shining, the scenery is beautiful and busy, only looking at the liveliness of the street, it is difficult to make people think that the northwest of the empire is going on a cruel war, in this prosperous capital, there is no smell of the slightest smell of beacon fire.

Although there is still some distance from the largest binary city in Xicheng, but this Baitongfang is also a lot of commercial houses, palace powder, silk, hemp, jewelry, bamboo and wood, rice wine, ironware, antiques are all lined up on the street, on the bank of Qinshui, there are also many small traders with stalls, long streets, water and land coexist, and there are many types of goods.

Chu Huan asked for a pot of wine and two dishes, and drank it slowly, but his eyes were staring at a big willow tree not far downstairs.

Under the willow tree, there was a man who set up a stall.

It's just that the man's stall is unusual.

The person who set up the stall was dressed in gray coarse cloth clothes, his appearance was not good, but his temperament was like water, sitting cross-legged under the big willow tree, like sitting meditation, in front of him, there was a chess game, Chu Huan could even see that on the chessboard, black and white chess pieces had been placed, and the person was sitting behind the chessboard, holding his hands across his chest, motionless.

When Chu Huan went upstairs, he saw the person sitting there, although there were many people setting up stalls on the bank of Qinshui, and that person was not very conspicuous, but Chu Huan just felt that there was something special about that person.

He kept staring at the man, and the man naturally didn't know that there would be someone on top of a restaurant who was looking at him, sitting there steadily, Chu Huan saw that the person had not moved for a long time, and he really admired the characterization of that person.

The other people who set up the stalls were all shouting, but this person sat silently, and Chu Huan didn't know if this person was buying chess.

After drinking a pot of wine unconsciously, the second pot of wine came up, and the shopkeeper saw that Chu Huan had been staring at the man, and said in a low voice: "The guest officer knows that lame?" ”

"Crippled?" Chu Huan turned his head.

"yes." The shopkeeper said with a smile: "That person has been here for more than half a month, and he has a chessboard there every day, and I heard that he makes a living from that." ”

Chu Huanqi said: "How do you say this? ”

"That cripple lost a wreck." The shopkeeper said: "It is said that if anyone can win, he will give five taels of silver, and if he loses, he only needs to give him thirty copper coins." At the beginning, many people tried, but this lame man really had two hits, and the little one had seen many people go up to challenge, but none of them beat him, and everyone gradually ignored it, and the business has deteriorated a lot these days. ”

"So, that guy is still a chess master?"

"If you say you are a chess master, you may not be able to." The shopkeeper smiled: "How many Go masters can there be in the market?" Those real masters, who will play chess for five taels of silver and a lame man? ”

Chu Huan bowed slightly.

After drinking the pot of wine, Chu Huan settled the account, and immediately went downstairs, but he was going to go to Eryuan City to have a look and appreciate the prosperity of the Beijing Market.

But before he had taken a few steps, he saw a group of people coming towards him, and there were as many as seven or eight people, but they did not come to him, but walked towards the lame man with the chessboard.

Chu Huan saw that these people were hanging down one by one, and they didn't look good at first glance, and knew that something would happen next, so he also stopped and stood not far away.

The first person was wearing a green hat, which made people rush to the big willow tree, and several stall setters next to him hurriedly pulled away, obviously quite afraid of this group.

The man in the green hat walked under the willow tree, and a group of people behind him immediately surrounded the lame, and the man in the green hat rolled up his sleeves and said loudly: "I heard that you are playing a chess game here?" ”

The lame man finally raised his head, Chu Huan was not far from the person at this time, but he could see it clearly, only to see that the person's eyebrows were extremely thick, the face of Chinese characters, the nose was straight and the mouth was wide, the ears were extremely long, and the eyes were also very large, but he was a talent, and he looked like he was only in his early thirties. ”

The man in the green hat took off his hat, sat down opposite the lame, and said, "I heard that if you lose, you will have to accompany you for five taels of silver?" ”

The cripple nodded slightly, and said, "If I win, I only need you thirty copper coins." ”

The blue-hatted man took out a bunch of money from his arms and said, "If you win, all the coins here are yours, if you lose, give Lao Tzu five taels of silver, but ...... Where are your five taels of silver? Take it out and take a look at it first. ”

The lame man said calmly: "Don't worry, if you win, I will naturally offer five taels of silver." ”

"I can't trust you." The blue-hatted man shouted, "Take the silver out first." ”

The lame man shook his head and said: "If you win the chess, you will naturally have silver, otherwise I will take out a thousand taels of silver, and you can only take a look." Pointing to the blue hat man's hanging money, he said: "I don't need you to hang the money if I win, you can count out thirty copper coins, I won't take advantage of you." ”

The green hat said happily: "Yo, are you really sure you will win?" ”

The lame man clasped his hands in front of his chest and said, "You have a bad face, you can't win me today." ”

The man in the green hat sneered: "Lao Tzu doesn't fight with you about this." Do you know who I am? ”

The lame man looked at the blue-hat man a few times, looked at it very seriously, and finally shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

Someone next to him immediately scolded: "It's really blind, you don't know Uncle Meng?" In Baitong Fang, who doesn't know Uncle Meng? "Roll up your sleeves and look like that, you're going to hit the lame man in the head at any moment.
