Chapter 31: The Underground Chamber
The chess tournament was not as strict as the imperial examination, and after a while, a middle-aged man entered, who looked like a businessman, and waved at everyone with a smile on his face, saying: "Everyone, it's not early, and this competition has begun." ”
"Before the start, there is a cliché that for chess players, there is no regret about losing chess, and for viewers, it is a gentleman who does not say anything about chess. ”
"If you break the rules and remove the chessboard on the spot, it will be embarrassing and undignified. Speaking of this, the middle-aged man smiled again: "It also hinders everyone's financial luck, right-well, the chess game starts in a moment, please bettors strive for the last time to register the silver." ”
"Can I bet here?" Su Ziji was looking for a female voice, and when he heard this, he thought to himself: "Could it be that I am too careful?"
I got up and walked to the counter.
"Su Ziji, where are you going?"
"I gave you a bet, and no one of them voted for you. ”
"Yo yo yo ......" Ye Buregret didn't shout to stop, and saw Su Ziji running away with a smoke.
This stupid guy lost all to see how he went to the house to try it ye did not regret looking around for a while, and then stared at the chess player who came over on the opposite side, his little face became solemn.
This time you have to win!
Hu Xiyan at the door looked at this scene, couldn't help laughing, and couldn't help but say to the maid: "I checked it, he only has five taels of silver on him, all of them are staked, is he confident? Or is he stupid?"
The maid hurriedly whispered: "Miss, don't laugh, although you use the blindfolding method, some people still hear it when it's ridiculous - your attitude towards him is always different, is it him who is destined to be the person?"
When Hu Xiyan heard this, he suppressed his laughter, looked at Su Ziji and went back, seeing that he didn't look at the chessboard, he took out the book and read it silently, and then he was in a trance, and said: "It shouldn't be, if it's a fateful person, half of my red sandalwood must be sensitive." ”
"That's fate, miss, don't you fall in love at this juncture—don't you have a person who doesn't feel the whole chess game?"
Hu Xiyan glanced at her and didn't answer, if there was, he would have found it a long time ago.
It's just that tomorrow will be in Linhua County, but there is no one after looking around, and it will expand to Fucheng, and there will be no induction, which is really strange......
A shadow cast over her heart.
As soon as she pondered, the chess game officially began, and she said unwillingly: "Let's turn again and see if there is anything missing." ”
Linhua County, Tongshan View
Tongshan is not high, even if there is rain, the spring color is rich, every season, there are the female dependents who worship God on the incense, are holding an umbrella and stepping on the steps to laugh, April is also very suitable for stepping on the spring, there are also three or five groups of scholars, with Mei Ji alcohol, chanting poems against it.
No one could have imagined that on a long path at the back of the mountain, a person wore a coat and left, this person had a fierce face, although he did not bring his subordinates, but he was a little heavy, but at this moment, his face sank like water, with a sad face, he accidentally slipped a foot, and his hand grabbed a tree to stabilize, and cursed at the moment: "The hateful Su Ziji!"
This person is Zhang Dacuo, who led people to surround Su Zizhi in the restaurant on the day of the unveiling, but Su Zizhi was admitted to the Tongsheng examination, and there were nobles to help him, so he had to retreat.
Later, after enduring it for a few days, I learned that the two nobles had left the local area, so people followed Su Zizhi and wanted to attack Su Ziji, who would have thought that Su Ziji would quickly get involved with the Fang family.
The Fang family not only has a reputation for raising people, but also has a clan as a backstage, and it is definitely not that they dare to move.
If something really happens, when a piece of paper is reported, the government will send someone to kill it, how can his subordinates stop the officers and soldiers?
But Zhang Dacuo is also afraid of the Taoist of Tongshan Temple, knowing that Shen Daochang's means are extraordinary, and this time he failed, so he could only come alone to report, hoping that Shen Daochang could do his best and not be too harsh.
Thinking like this, when I arrived at a backyard, I walked through the corridor familiarly, came to a door, and knocked lightly.
With a creak, the door opened, and a secluded entrance led to the basement below.
Zhang Dacuo's pupils shrank, even if he came a few times, but every time he entered this basement, he would feel uneasy, this kind of fear from instinct was not constantly appeased in his heart at all.
This is also one of the reasons why Zhang Dacuo is jealous of Shen Daochang, he doesn't dare to say that he has experienced a hundred battles and breaks through the sea of swords, but he is also a person who will not cry out for pain after a few cuts, and he can make himself subconsciously afraid, which is by no means a good type.
Thinking of seeing the female dependents when he came, Zhang Dacuo sneered, these people went to incense to pray for blessings, who knew that the Taoist chief was an evil dragon?
"You're here. In the darkness, Shen Cheng's voice came not far away.
Zhang Dacuo raised the oil lamp and went inside, and said flatteringly: "Dao Chief, I'm here to report to you, can you do it now?"
"Since I called you here, it was naturally convenient. Shen Cheng said lightly.
With such a cold appearance, as before, Zhang Dacuo took a step forward, but the oil lamp "poofed" and went out without wind.
Zhang Dacuo was startled, his heart shrank, and he heard Shen Cheng say, "Just stand there, don't go any further." ”
Could it be that Daoist Shen is practicing exercises that can't see people?
Zhang Dacuo's mind came to mind the woman he saw when he came last time, she also entered the secret passage, although he didn't see it again, but Zhang Dacuo didn't think that he had seen it, and now that he thinks about it, could it be that Shen Daochang still cultivates the art of double cultivation?
No wonder this view of the Son is so effective.
The corners of Zhang Dacuo's mouth couldn't help but bring a smile, but thinking of the purpose of coming here this time, he quickly restrained himself and said in the direction of Shen Cheng: "Yes." ”
"You came, but for Su Ziji's business, he was caught by you?" Shen Cheng asked.
Zhang Dacuo choked, and said in his heart, still catch it, now the other party has rushed to Fucheng to participate in the Fucheng test, and his own people can't even enter Fucheng.
The most important thing for the gang is the territory, and there is no need to talk about this.
"Dao Chief, Su Ziji is very cunning, I reported to you, he got the help of the nobles, you ordered that you can't move, now although the two nobles are gone, but they have been appreciated by Fang Juren, Fang Juren's clan power is not small, I really don't dare to act rashly, lest I spoil your business......"
"You say, Su Ziji has won the appreciation of Fang Juren?'s Fang family in Sanqiudu?" Shen Cheng was unhappy in his heart, the two nobles before were indeed nobles, he didn't dare to move when he glanced at it, it could be said that he was a strong dragon crossing the river.
But the Fang family of Sanqiudu is not small, it is the head snake.
Originally, it was uncertain, and it was better to kill by mistake than to let it go, but now it can be proved that this Su Zi Jiguo is his goal, and he is obviously at the end of his rope, and there is still a return to the light.
The cemetery has been checked, and there is no trace of luck left at all, and now it seems that it has all arrived in Su Zi's body.
But the more this happens, the more it must be captured, and this is for the sake of the great cause.
Shen Cheng was silent for a while, and said, "If this is the case, you can't be blamed if you haven't done anything until now." ”
Zhang Dacuo's heart was relieved, and he thought secretly: "It seems that the Taoist chief will not blame me this time." ”
