Although he was an outsider, Zhou Kefa didn't care about Xun Wen's face at all. He sat down leisurely, holding tea in his hand and looking at the chess game in front of the old man sitting opposite him. Although the tea soup was good, he still couldn't stop his mouth and said, "Who? People don’t know that you, Xun Wenqu, are so good at chess that it is difficult to find an opponent. No one can defeat you except gods and ghosts. You are very good at hiding your edges and feinting moves. You can do whatever you want with the truth and falsehood. How come you have changed your mind now and read this ordinary chess book?"
Xun Wenqu didn't answer the question, he just picked up a black stone and dropped it on the chessboard, ignoring it. He didn't care about Zhou Kefa's frivolous remarks.
The chessboard on the table is much simpler than the elegant chessboards inlaid with emeralds and jade in ordinary high-ranking officials' homes. It seems to have been randomly cut out of old dead wood, carved with vertical and horizontal patterns, and then used to make moves. Compared with the elegance of the backyard of Xun Mansion, In terms of layout, it is quite abrupt.
"I have come across two skills. If your talent, Zhou Kefa, can be used in a righteous way, and you can serve in any of the nine countries, your current official rank will be on an equal footing with the prime minister, instead of being unknown now and only knowing Talking about it will actually use up all your talents, and it's too late to regret it." Xun Wenqu didn't even raise his head, and opened his mouth to invite the person sitting across from him to talk.
Zhou Kefa did not get angry, but half-squinted his eyes and said calmly and calmly, "Then we have to argue with whom and whom to speak for, right? What if all the people in the world are in the water and fire, and the official rank is different from me. What does it matter? There is only a boat to cross the river, and there is no water to carry the boat. It would be more useful to chop it down and use it as firewood."
Xun Wenqu smiled calmly, but did not argue with Zhou Kefa at all. Instead, he made the latter curl his lips repeatedly, which was quite boring. At the end, he just asked briefly, "Which is black and white?"
Zhou Kefa plays black first, and Xun Wenqu plays white second. One is Mr. Shanye, and the other is the powerful Xun Xiang of Shangqi. Both of them did not collect the fallen chess pieces on the chessboard, but simply postponed the move.
After two or three moves of chess, Mr. Zhou took a sip of tea and asked casually, "I heard that Daze in the north has not been peaceful in recent months. Shangqi is among the nine kingdoms and is closest to Beiyanze. Come to the emperor Along the way to the city, people have heard several times that they have seen traces of the great demon with their own eyes, and Prime Minister Xun thought how to stop this."
Xun Wenqu's chess game still followed the original chess rules, and he only firmly guarded half of the chessboard without any change. Hearing this, he raised his head and asked, "I have heard that Beiyanze is not peaceful, but I have never heard that Shang Qixian's family has already Are two sects taking action to kill the demon?"
Although Shangqi is not as prosperous as it was after the fall of Daqi, it is still the old capital of Daqi that was located here. The number of immortal families accumulated over the years can be called an immortal family compared to other countries. Lin Li, but in recent years, most of them are no longer willing to pay attention to the messy affairs in the world. Even the aristocratic family who spoke on their behalf has not received news from the Xian family for a long time.
Lao Xiang's chess moves were still covered by water and earth, and his skill in talking forced Zhou Kefa to use a move that was as deep as a tiger's, which aroused a lot of doubts in the latter's mind. Zhou Kefa had learned Xun Wenqu's chess moves as early as ten years ago. With his cultivation in chess, he was able to outperform the old man in all four moves. For example, the snake and leopard hidden in the Wanjun Mountains were stable. Within the solidity, hidden moves are more cruel and sinister, and the city is extremely deep; but now Xun Wen's chess moves are difficult for others to see. Zhou Kefa tried it with two hands one after another, leaving one obscure flaw in particular, but the old man is still the same as the ancient well. Wave, not even bothering to look away.
"When famous doctors visit a patient, they always remove the root cause and only focus on the immediate disease. Doctors are often mediocre." The gentleman in blue shirt Luo Zi looked inexplicable. "Since Wenqu Gong helps the emperor control the lifeline of a country, I think he is a rare person in the world." A good doctor should not only care about immediate matters."
After finishing his words, a sunspot fell exactly seven inches across the entire white dragon, completely making up for the flaws in the previous steps. It seemed like it was climbing up a straight rope, making it difficult to break free.
"In your opinion, I am a mountain doctor?" , it is also the promise of the Holy One. It cost a huge amount of money to satisfy the appetites of two immortal families. If you want to eradicate it, how much money and treasures will be spent? Don’t you, Zhou Kefa, don’t know?"
"It's better that in the future, the big demon will be rampant, destroying all living things, and even destroying the vitality of Shang Qi." Zhou Kefa looked gloomy and made another move, but found that Xun Wenqu had just pointed out the key and connected the big dragon again, and it was flawless.
"All the officials and civilians in Shang Qi can say what I just said. Only you, Zhou Ke, can't do it." Fundamentally, but once the so-called sky-shattering ambitions in your arms are unleashed, Shangqi will be in turmoil and there will be no peace."
The chess game has been decided. Even if Zhou Kefa uses his methods again, it can only be a draw, but Xun Wenqu's white dragon is still impregnable.
"No wonder, the north is like this, and so are the state affairs. Since you, Xun Wenqu, have made up your mind to stick to a corner and stay in civilian clothes, it is natural that you won't talk too much about state affairs." Zhou Kefa's face calmed down, he stood up and looked at the well-decorated courtyards around him, and nodded. Finally, he shook his head, threw off his cuffs, and left.
He only left a word with the old man.
"I won't take action this time, sir. I have a student fighting with you, Xun Wenqu. Given his age, he can at least survive this old scourge like you."
"At that time, the pure will become clear by itself, and the turbid will become turbid by itself. Let's look at the old illness and make it a new one."
Although the words were rude, the servants did not stop him, and allowed the poor gentleman in a neat blue shirt to go out and hum a teahouse ditty. He was in a very good mood.
In the courtyard, Xun Wenqu silently packed away the chess pieces, and suddenly noticed a white piece placed on the seat opposite him.
The old man stood up and picked it up in his hand, rubbed it twice, looked at the back of the chess piece in the sky, and after a long time cursed, "I still don't forget to show off your petty tricks. Playing chess is just playing chess. How does this make sense?" To put it bluntly, destroying the appearance of this chess set is really blind." Then he packed up the chess box and chess board, suddenly felt bored, and went back home.
Behind the chess piece, there is clearly a Xun character, which should be pressed on Bailong's head.
Although the meeting between the two people did not attract many people's attention, the city was still full of people chatting, and there was an endless stream of pedestrians in the market, crowded and crowded.
As for the various areas outside the imperial city, no one has mentioned whether there are monsters causing trouble in recent days.
The safety of two people is not the same.
