The chess match was not as strict as the imperial examination. After a while, a middle-aged man entered the room. He looked like a businessman. He bowed to everyone with a smile on his face and said, "Everyone, it's getting late. This competition will not be held until now." That’s how it started.”
"Before the game begins, there is a cliché saying, for a chess player, he will have no regrets when he plays the game, and for the spectator, he will watch the game without saying a word."
"It would be embarrassing if we broke the rules and removed the chessboard on the spot, and it would be disrespectful to everyone." At this point, the middle-aged man laughed again: "It will also hinder everyone's financial luck, right? - Okay, the chess match will start in a moment, please Bettors try to register their deposits as soon as possible."
"You can bet here?" Su Ziji was looking for the female voice. After hearing this, he thought to himself: "Am I too worried?"
He stood up and walked towards the counter.
"Su Ziji, where are you going?"
"I'll put a bet on you, and no one will put a bet on you."
"Yo yo yo..." Ye Buhui didn't stop shouting, but saw Su Ziji running away quickly.
This idiot, lost everything. See how he went to the government examination. Ye Buhui looked around, and then stared at the chess player on the opposite side, his face became solemn.
We must win this time!
"Puch!" Hu Xiyan at the door looked at this scene and couldn't help but laugh out loud. She couldn't help but said to the maid: "I checked and he only has five taels of silver on him. I put all of it on him. Are you confident? Or stupid?" "
The maid quickly whispered: "Miss, don't laugh. Even though you are covering your eyes, it's so funny that someone still hears it - your attitude towards him is always different. Is he the one you are destined for?"
After hearing this, Hu Xiyan stopped laughing and watched Su Ziji go back. Seeing that he was not looking at the chessboard, he took out a book and read silently. She fell into a trance and said, "Probably not. If we are destined to be together, , my half piece of rosewood must be sensitive."
"That's a bad fate. Miss, please don't fall into love at this moment - is there no one who can sense you during the whole chess match?"
Hu Xiyan glanced at her but didn't answer. If there was one, she would have found it long ago.
It's just that the secret is obviously in Linhua County, but no one is found after searching around. Even if it extends to Fucheng, there is no response. This is really strange...
A shadow cast over her heart.
After just thinking about it, the chess competition officially started. She said unwillingly: "Let's spin it again to see if there is anything missing."
Linhua County·Tongshan Temple
Tongshan is not high, but even if there is rain, the spring scenery is rich. Every season, there will be women offering incense and worshiping the gods. They are holding umbrellas and laughing on the steps. April is also very suitable for spring outings, and there are also groups of taxis. Son, bring Meiji's wine and recite poems and write poems.
No one could have imagined that on a long path at the back of the mountain, a person wearing a raincoat was walking away. This person had a fierce face. Although he did not have any men with him, he was somewhat majestic. But at this moment, his face was as dark as water. With a sad look on his face, he accidentally slipped and grabbed a tree to steady himself. He then cursed: "Damn Su Ziji!"
This person was none other than Zhang Dacuo. On the day when the results were announced, he led people to surround Su Zi in the restaurant. As a result, Su Zi passed the examination and was admitted as a child, and there were noble people to help him, so he had to retreat.
After enduring it for a few days, they learned that the two nobles had left the local area, so they had people follow Su Ziji and try to attack Su Ziji. Who would have thought that Su Ziji would soon become involved with the Fang family.
The Fang family not only has the reputation of raising people, but also has the clan as the backing, so it is absolutely impossible for them to dare to do anything on their own.
If something really happened, the government would send people to kill the people with a written complaint. How could their subordinates stop the officers and soldiers?
But Zhang Dacuo is also afraid of the Taoist priest of Tongshan Temple. He knows that Taoist Shen has extraordinary methods. This time he failed, so he can only come and report alone. He hopes that Taoist Shen will take care of his efforts and not be too harsh.
With this thought in mind, I arrived at a backyard, walked through the familiar corridor, arrived at a door, and gently knocked on the door.
With a creak, the door opened, and a faint entrance led to the basement below.
Zhang Dacuo's pupils shrank, and even though he had been here a few times, he would feel uneasy every time he entered the basement. This kind of instinctive fear could not be calmed down by constant comfort in his heart.
This is also one of the reasons why Zhang Dacuo is afraid of Taoist Shen. He dare not say that he has experienced hundreds of battles and fought through mountains of swords and seas of fire, but he is also a person who does not cry out in pain after being slashed several times. He is definitely not a kind person who can make him subconsciously afraid.
Zhang Dacuo sneered when he thought of seeing the female relatives when he arrived. These people offered incense and prayed for blessings, but who knew that the Taoist priest was actually an evil dragon?
"You're here." Shen Cheng's voice came from not far away in the darkness.
Zhang Dacuo raised the oil lamp and went inside, flattering him and saying, "Taoist Master, I'm here to report something to you. Is it convenient for you now?"
"Since I asked you to come, it's convenient." Shen Cheng said calmly.
With such a cold appearance, he was just like before. Zhang Dacuo took a step forward, but the oil lamp made a "pop" sound and went out without any wind.
Zhang Dacuo was startled and his heart shrank when he heard Shen Cheng say: "Just stand there and don't go any further."
Could it be that Taoist Shen is practicing a technique that cannot be seen in person?
The woman he saw the last time he came here appeared in Zhang Dacuo's mind. She also entered the secret passage. Although he didn't see her again, Zhang Dacuo didn't think he was wrong. Now that he thinks about it, could it be that Taoist Shen also practices the art of dual cultivation? ?
No wonder this Taoist temple is so effective in seeking children.
Zhang Dacuo couldn't help but smile, but thinking about the purpose of coming here this time, he quickly suppressed it and said in the direction of Shen Cheng, "Yes."
"You came here because of Su Ziji's affairs? Did you catch him?" Shen Cheng asked.
Zhang Dacuo choked and said to himself, "I still caught him. Now the other party has rushed to Fucheng to participate in the Fucheng examination. His own people can't even enter Fucheng."
The most important thing for the gang is the territory, there is no need to discuss this.
"Taoist Priest, Su Ziji is very cunning. I have reported to you that he received help from a noble man, but you ordered him not to move. Although the two noble men have left, they have gained the appreciation of Fang Juren. The power of Fang Juren's clan is not small. I really don’t dare to act rashly, lest I ruin your business..."
"You said, Su Ziji is admired by Fang Juren? The Fang family of Sanqiudu?" Shen Cheng was unhappy. The two nobles before were indeed nobles. He didn't dare to move after just one glance. It could be said that they were strong dragons crossing the river.
But the Fang family in Sanqiudu is not a small family, they are local snakes.
It was still uncertain at first, and I would rather kill him by mistake than let him go. Now I can prove that Su Ziji is my target. It is obvious that he is at the end of the road, but there is still hope for him.
The cemetery has been checked, and no trace of luck can be found at all. Now it seems that it is all in Su Ziji's body.
But the more this happens, the more we must seize it. This is for a great cause.
Shen Cheng was silent for a while and said, "If this is really the case, I can't blame you for not getting anything done until now."
Zhang Dacuo felt relieved and thought to himself: "It seems that the Taoist master will not blame me this time."
