Yongchang City, Tiger Elephant Hall.
The barbarian girls danced wildly, and the bells and drums rang all night long.
Li Guanqi also sat next to two wild and beautiful barbarian women who kept toasting.
Looking at the wild and beautiful Zhu Rong at the main seat and the female guests singing with him around, Li Guanqi's drunken eyes were full of confusion.
Apart from the guards outside the door, she was the only male in the lobby. Is this the cultural exchange she was talking about? Are these female guests all celebrities in this city? Are you going to work like this until dawn? How is it going...
Finally, after the dance ended, Zhu Rong clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Mr. Li's profound cultivation, magnanimity and nobleness are well-deserved!"
Li Guanqi was even more confused: "Madam, I...I haven't done anything."
Zhu Rong said with emotion: "The dance just now is called the Golden Snake Dance. It is the most ceremonial dance in Yongchang. Ordinary men will have hallucinations after witnessing this dance after drinking. But I am unmoved, which is really rare."
Only then did Li Guanqi understand. No wonder he felt dizzy because of the dance, but since he was color blind, the dizziness was not that severe. Are they using this to test celebrities? Is this the highest form of etiquette not very polite?
But Li Guanqi did not dare to disgrace his master: "This dance really opened my eyes..."
Well, as a poor gangster in a teahouse, Li Guanqi has never had the chance to experience high-end dance in this world. But after all, as a modern person, I can still comment on it - it is really better than many modern dances!
When he thought of this, Li Guanqi commented sincerely: "Very high-end!"
Zhu Rong sighed: "I have heard for a long time that Liu Jingzhou is a talented man. He eliminated the bandits and the people were convinced. He opened scriptures and established schools. He loved the people and raised scholars. He wore a hundred thousand armors. I wonder what Liu Jingzhou thinks of the power of the world?"
I am just a small official who plays chess, or I have just been accepted as a disciple by Liu Biao. How do I know what Liu Biao in this immortal and demonic plane would think?
Li Guanqi sweated: "When all the generals in this world gather together, we should be... cautious in the place of Jingzhou's four battles."
It has to be said that Jingzhou's position is like Tianyuan on the chessboard. As long as it is strong enough, it will dominate the world with developed land and water in the middle. If it is not strong, it will be besieged by the world. The one who dared to move Tianyuan at the beginning was either a top-notch chess player or... Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Rong asked again: "If there are changes in the place where Jingzhou fought four times, wouldn't it destroy the culture?"
Just ask if you are good at chess? Li Guanqi was a little confused: "The local wealthy families in Jingzhou will surrender immediately and keep the prosperity of culture."
Zhu Rong smiled coldly: "The demon can't see the prosperity of culture. Does the demon care whether he surrenders or not?"
Li Guanqi was shocked! Yes, this is the Three Kingdoms of Immortals and Demons!
Zhu Rong continued to ask: "If Jingzhou's cultural spirit is destroyed, how should you use your talents in this life?"
Only go to Luoyang? But if Jingzhou is destroyed, it means that troubled times are coming. Can Luoyang be saved? In historical fact, Luoyang was burned down early...
Li Guanqi broke into a cold sweat and immediately woke up! Yes, her problem is actually the problem that she has been worried about since she traveled through time for half a year. This world is said to be divided among the heroes, but basically there has been no urban war in the past six months. The forces in various places are busy clearing away the monsters and the peace is very peaceful.
But this kind of peace would definitely not last long, so Li Guanqi stayed up all night playing chess against the clock to improve his spiritual cultivation. Then it’s time to face this issue squarely. Liu Biao was too popular as a writer, and his inability to make progress in his later years was despised by Cao Cao as a "talker." In terms of courage, he might not be much better than the Nanman who dared to fight and fight?
Li Guanqi stood up, bowed, and asked humbly: "Madam, please give me some advice!"
Zhu Rong pulled down a giant animal skin map from under the roof beam. Li Guanqi was shocked. This was not a map of China. He clearly saw the Bay of Bengal! According to the layout of her map, the location of Nanzhong Yongchang is not the corner of the Three Kingdoms at all, but the center of South Asia!
Zhu Rong smiled and asked: "Is Yongchang remote?"
Li Guanqi understood that when the chessboard becomes larger, the pattern of the chess game will change.
"All previous dynasties were destroyed by weakness, but only Han Dynasty was destroyed by strength"! This means that even if the Han Dynasty is destroyed, it can still maintain suppression of surrounding areas, such as Prince Charming Gongsun Zan, Cao Cao who wiped out Wuhuan, Ma Teng who shocked the Western Qiang, and Zhuge Liang who conquered the Southern Barbarians. So this gives the players of the Three Kingdoms the feeling that the map of the Three Kingdoms is just that big. In fact, the Three Kingdoms are actually the Four Kingdoms. There is also a Liaodong Gongsun family that has suppressed Xianbei without any sense of existence and has been divided according to imperial standards for decades.
Zhu Rong sighed: "Yongchang was originally the ancient Ailao Kingdom. During the Yongping period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Ailao King Liu Mao admired the Han Dynasty's cultural and martial arts. He led 77 tribal kings and a population of 550,000 to return to the Han Dynasty, and was granted the title of King of Dian. ——”
Having said this, Zhu Rong looked at Li Guanqi with a smile. (Note: Yongping of the Eastern Han Dynasty, AD 69, is a hundred years earlier than the year 184 when the Three Kingdoms began.)
Li Guanqi completely understood that Gu Ailao came here to admire the Han, but the nobles of the Han had always been arrogant and called them barbarians. The Han Dynasty in this world is about to collapse, and it won’t work if it’s still so arrogant. At the very least, as a Go player, what I feel most unhappy about is the attitude of the surrounding chess community.
Li Guanqi found the specific goal of this trip: "I can only play chess. I would like to stay in Yongchang for a period of time to teach everyone how to play chess and spread Han culture."
Zhu Rong smiled and said: "It's a blessing for Yongchang to be able to hire a husband! Has the husband ever been married?"
Li Guanqi was a little panicked: "Not yet!"
Zhu Rong smiled and said: "Since you are so talented, I can choose one or two of the female guests here to be your concubines. Then I can also renovate the teahouse to serve as your chess parlor!"
All the female guests present laughed in unison: "Sir, choose me, choose me!"
Li Guanqi was stunned!
Zhu Rong smiled and said, "What? Could it be that the reception was not good enough?"
Li Guanqi said awkwardly: "It's to entertain Taizhou, I'm a little flattered."
Zhu Rong smiled and said: "Sir, you are truly talented and knowledgeable, and you deserve it!"
I have no talent for running a country or fighting a war...
Li Guanqi remembered something: "There was another Zhong Huang who came before me. His calligraphy skills are far better than mine. I wonder how Madam will arrange it?"
Zhu Rong chuckled: "If it weren't for Qin, there would be no Han; if it weren't for Han, there wouldn't be Yongchang today. Sir, do you know how the Qin Dynasty managed the country and brought peace to the world?"
Li Guanqi replied: "Of course it is legalism that governs the country and rewards farming and war."
Zhu Rong smiled and asked: "What did that Zhong do?"
Raise money to make money.
Li Guanqi understood. The so-called finance is actually no different from gangsters who go around owing money to demolish the east wall to pay for the west wall. Duke Huan of Qi, Xiaobai and Guan Zhong used currency war to destroy the country early on. What modern people are playing with is what Guan Zhong and the others did 2,700 years ago. of. In the era of manual farming, manpower was tight, and the most taboo was this kind of deception that was completely divorced from production and did not generate wealth. Therefore, the Legalists always emphasized agriculture and suppressed commerce.
After thinking about it, Li Guanqi was even more in awe of Zhu Rong, he was so pragmatic! Such a woman talks about Jingzhou's future and then shows such a map. She just wants me to open a chess hall? Should I also reveal my ideals?
Li Guanqi then asked tentatively: "Madam, if Yongchang and Jingzhou send troops to Jiaozhou at the same time, wouldn't they be able to be connected together and continue Jingzhou's culture? Jiaozhou is located in the tropics, and there is a rich Red River Delta outlet, rice fields Two crops a year can just make up for the lack of grain production in the red soil of Nanzhong."
Zhu Rongqi smiled and said: "Sir, you are really talented in literary skills. You haven't chosen a female guest or concubine yet!"
All the female guests in the house shouted again: "Choose me, choose me!"
Did she change the subject?
Li Guanqi immediately realized in embarrassment that he had been abrupt. Since I am neither a minister or a diplomatic envoy, it is not appropriate to talk about this topic. So she didn't respond either.
Under the embarrassment, Li Guanqi felt a sense of shame and defeat. Faced with the noise of the female guests, his youthful and energetic mood was stirred. Maybe she is testing me again? As a chess player, what she wants is the arrogance to dominate the world, which she cannot underestimate! As an idealist, a man’s ideal is——
Li Guanqi took a deep breath: "I don't choose!"
The whole place fell into stunned silence!
Only children make choices! Li Guanqi burst out with pride: "I - want them all!"
The whole place continued to be silent.
Li Guanqi felt uneasy and his face turned red. Could it be that he had broken their rules and offended them?
Zhu Rong was stunned for a moment, then smiled and sighed: "As expected of you, sir, you can't give anything but me -"
All the female guests in the audience immediately swarmed up and surrounded them: "Mr. Li, we all love you~~"
Li Guanqi was stunned for a moment! You can actually want them all! Have I really realized a man’s ideal?
…
Yongchang Tea House.
Ni Cangtian heard the sound of magic in his ears, and he suddenly woke up. It was Zhang Mancheng who had replied!
take over! A piece of golden talisman paper tied into a yellow dragon appeared. He spread out the talisman paper and wrote "Huang Tian shall stand", and Zhang Mancheng left a message: "Junior brother, your idea of establishing a rear base in Yongchang is very good, and Master is looking forward to it very much. It’s just that the immortal disciples of the Yingchuan Zhong family have changed, and they will definitely activate their secret skills in the near future, which must be related to Yongchang. This is a yellow dragon, extremely noble, and my senior brother only has one and is reluctant to use it, so I will give it to you. Please pay attention to the celestial phenomena in the near future and act according to the opportunity... …”
Ni Cangtian was shocked!
Huanglong! The green dragon on the left, the white tiger on the right, the vermilion bird in the front, and the basalt in the back are the four common images, but there is also a less used one with a rising snake and a hooked bottom. They are collectively called the six elephants. The hooked one is the yellow dragon, and some say it is the unicorn. Once activated, it will summon a soaring yellow dragon in the sky, which can disturb the world on the outside and possess and strengthen itself on the inside.
However, he doesn’t even dare to use this thing himself, so he uses it to trick me?
Because Zhang Jiao's magic is different from that of ordinary immortals. Its characteristic is that it is quick and effective, which is beneficial to actual combat! There is no mention of the common theories of cultivating immortals such as Taoism, natural harmony between man and nature, refining qi and cultivating the mind, etc. It takes countless years. To realize this feature, one must "sacrifice one's life", either by compromising one's life span, or by killing chickens, pigs, and sheep in various ways when casting the spell.
The problem is that the Yellow Turban Army is recognized as poor and cannot eat enough chaff. Where can they get so many chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep? The result can only be that humans are inferior to animals, and their longevity is compromised by magic.
Forget it, it's still a big move after all, just play it by ear. It is no longer possible to stop Zhong Huang, we can only find other opportunities...
Then the subordinates gathered together, and Ni Cangtian was carried downstairs. Even after a night's rest, the aftereffects of eating a lot of talisman pills during yesterday's rainy battle began to show.
But this is fine. Only if you are also a sick person can you arouse the resonance of other patients. It was dark last night and you couldn't see clearly, but you could obviously hear many people coughing in various ways. You can just burn a bowl of talisman paper to win people's hearts. I just don’t know if cinnabar is sold here in Yongchang? If that doesn't work, use chicken blood.
In addition, I don’t know if the results of Li Guanqi’s being taken away overnight were revealed?
At this moment, there was a roar of singing and dancing at the entrance of the teahouse, and the early-rising players were even more shocked: "Holy shit! The chess master came out with a dozen beauties!"
Ni Cangtian hurriedly asked someone to carry him out to take a look, and he bumped into Li Guanqi among the wild flowers!
Li Guanqi smiled tiredly: "Hello, Brother Tian!"
Ni Cangtian was shocked: "Brother Li, what is this?"
Li Guanqi smiled and said: "I promised Mrs. Zhu Rong that I would open a chess hall in this city to promote culture. These are... all staff!"
The girls laughed angrily: "Sir, you are so annoying, we are obviously your mothers-in-law!"
All the players were shocked!
Ni Cangtian asked in surprise: "How long will it take to carry it forward?"
Li Guanqi smiled and said: "I don't know, I am so happy that I miss Jing!"
Li Guanqi then said to the shocked players: "The more culturally backward the area, the more they admire advanced culture. I can teach everyone to learn chess well, so that everyone can develop."
All the players suddenly realized: "No problem!"
Ni Cangtian was so shocked that he couldn't even close his mouth! Why! ? I have the unique skills of the immortal family, and I still risk my life to fight monsters! He usually just wins, but now he just goes out for a drink and ends up with a bunch of wives?
How unfair the sky is! What use is this sky! ?
