"My lord, the chess match is over." At this time, the servant of the chess hall came in and reported to Su Ziji. Su Ziji lost a small gold ingot of five taels: "I'll reward you."
This was the reward for the musicians and the servants who served, so they went out.
Fang Zhen walked with him. On the way, he was thinking about the silver reward just now. He was a little confused whether he had taken a fancy to it or not. He couldn't hold it back and asked: "Duke Dai, I wonder which of the three people you think is more important." good?"
Su Ziji lowered his eyes and saw half a phantom of red sandalwood: "Received the teaching of the Purple Frost Sword Technique, [Purple Qi from the East] +1500, level 10 (6325/10000), understand the introduction of the true energy of the Frost Sword."
"Acquired the teaching of Dai's Black Tiger Fist, [Purple Qi from the East] +1300, level 10 (7625/10000), and started to understand Dai's inner strength."
"Received the teaching of the Peacock Spreading Sword, [Purple Qi from the East] +600, level 10 (8225/10000)."
Su Ziji stole a lot of experience in one go, and was secretly happy. He got this teaching for only thirty taels of silver. There was a lot to be done, a lot to do.
Then he secretly wondered: "It seems that I have gained more experience, and I have also understood two basic methods by analogy. Although it is useless to me, it is also very amazing. Could this be the divine treasure of qualifications?"
Thinking in his mind, he said: "The third one with the sword looks good to me, he is the most beautiful."
Fang Zhen was dumbfounded. The third person had the most beautiful moves, but was also the weakest.
Could it be that Dai Guogong actually doesn’t know the goods?
If it were any other young lord, Fang Zhen would really think that things were like this, but when this matter fell on Dai Guogong, Fang Zhen didn't believe it.
At this time, they had left the courtyard where the hall was located. Standing on the road, they saw some people coming from far and near. These were people participating in the chess game and watching the chess game. It seemed that the chess game was over.
Ye Buhui's figure also appeared, and when he saw Su Ziji standing on the road, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"It seems that Bu Regret has won this time." Su Ziji couldn't help but smile just by looking at the joy on his face and the small pride that he wanted to share with those close to him.
It was this mood that made him willing to take risks to fulfill her wishes!
Su Ziji did not go up to him immediately, but looked at one place casually, and the other party really said: "These people are not to my liking. Please invite more people, young Marquis."
Fang Zhen thought for a moment and said, "How many more people should I bring to see Duke Dai tomorrow?"
Su Ziji nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, little Marquis."
"It's just a little effort."
After agreeing to the matter, Fang Zhen said: "I won't delay your husband and wife's conversation. Then we will see you tomorrow."
"I'm waiting for you at the mansion." Su Ziji responded and walked towards Ye Buhui to greet him.
Fang Zhen came out of the chess hall first. As soon as he came out, a servant came forward and said, "The master is waiting for you inside."
Fang Zhen didn't dare to delay, so he was led into an ox cart.
The bullock cart was parked on the side of the road, and there was a person sitting on it, with a white face and a smile, but Fang Zhen didn't dare to slack off at all.
"I've met Eunuch Zhao."
"You don't have to be so polite, get up, get up." The person in the car was the emperor's chief eunuch. He asked Fang Zhen to sit down and asked: "Little Marquis, how are things going?"
"I've been changing people for three days, but I still don't like the results." Fang Zhen replied.
The people who were brought to see Duke Dai in the past two days were all pretty good. Even the kings would not necessarily give up on such a warrior. Unexpectedly, Duke Dai, who had no party members yet, was not satisfied after even watching for three days.
Fang Zhen was also suspicious in his heart. After saying this, he thought, could it be that Duke Dai noticed something?
Probably not?
After thinking for a while, he also told Eunuch Zhao that the people Dai Guogong valued were all showy men.
Eunuch Zhao didn't believe it when he heard it. This didn't seem like something he did on behalf of the Guoguo Guild.
Or is it that there is a specialization in martial arts, and although Dai Guogong is excellent in other aspects, he is not clear about matters related to martial arts because he is not a master?
Thinking about it carefully, although Duke Dai also practiced martial arts, he seemed to have only practiced the literati's self-defense swordsmanship? This is not incomprehensible that people with good sword skills would be more valued.
Is this probably a common problem among some literati? If you like elegance, chic style, and martial arts, do you also use this kind of aesthetic to look at it?
"Did Duke Dai really never contact the people you introduced?" Eunuch Zhao still found it difficult to clear up his doubts and asked.
Fang Zhenrong said: "It's really not true, I can guarantee it!"
"That's it." Eunuch Zhao pondered for a moment and said, "Take Luo Jiang to see him."
Luo Jiang?
Fang Zhen was not unfamiliar with this name. Although this girl was not famous in the public, she was a powerful and immobile weapon in the Imperial City. It was said that she had been practicing Taoism with a sword for several years, but she was still young and still a girl.
Such a person, who was originally used to train secret guards to protect the emperor, is now being used and placed in the Duke Dai's mansion? Isn't this a bit wasteful?
But Eunuch Zhao is the emperor's confidant, so he needs to be trusted much more than Fang Zhen. Now that he has said this, it means that the emperor must also have this intention.
Fang Zhen quickly recovered and nodded: "Okay, then I will take her with me next time I go to see Duke Dai."
"I will ask her to contact you. You go back first and just wait." Eunuch Zhao did not mention how to contact this girl Luo Jiang, only that she would take the initiative to contact her.
Fang Zhen was well aware of the Huangcheng Division's style of conduct, so it was no surprise that he agreed.
After he said goodbye and left, he got on a nearby bullock cart and left. Eunuch Zhao lowered the curtain and asked the disguised Taoist priest who came in again at some unknown time.
"Is there any news in the chess game?"
In terms of seniority, this Taoist priest can be regarded as Liu Zhan's junior brother and a disciple of one of Liu Zhan's fellow disciples. His strength is much inferior to Liu Zhan's, but it is not without merit. At least he is better at observing Qi than Liu Zhan. .
This time, the emperor pressed hard for the search for those who had been in Taoism for one year, and the Imperial City Department was always supervising. Liu Zhan did not dare to neglect, so he simply asked this junior brother to come out and help check the situation at various competition venues.
Places like the Capital City Chess Tournament gather chess masters from all over the country every year. It is not impossible that there are newcomers among them. Even in the previous games, there was such a person who had an epiphany in public, and then broke through the bottleneck and improved his chess skills. Big rise.
From the Taoist point of view, this is entering the Tao in public.
But after Eunuch Zhao asked, the middle-aged Taoist shook his head: "No, I've seen them all, and they don't meet the standards."
"Not a single person has entered Taoism?" Eunuch Zhao frowned.
"There are some chess masters who have entered Taoism, but they have been in Taoism for a few years or one year. There is no one." The Taoist replied.
"Can't find it?" Eunuch Zhao lowered his eyes and gently rubbed the jade ring on his thumb. He didn't know whether he was disappointed or relieved after hearing the news.
Maybe both?
"This matter has troubled the Taoist priest, but the Qiqiao Exquisite Heart has not been found in a day. You and I need to be attentive and cannot slack off. We need to continue to seize the time. Otherwise, the emperor will blame you and I will be miserable. .”
The Taoist will naturally understand what Eunuch Zhao said.
Not to mention anything else, it's just that the emperor raised his hand and allocated some resources, which was of great benefit to the sect.
In order to attain enlightenment and become an immortal, one must not neglect this matter.
