I Just Won’t Play by the Book Chapter 229: Trial period
Walking on the road leading to the Blue Heart Hall in the middle of the night, Jiang Beiran raised his head to look at the sky full of stars, and couldn't help feeling in his heart.
‘Sure enough, people are cheap. ’
When he first came to this world, Jiang Beiran loved to admire this beautiful starry sky because he had never seen it before.
But after so long, Jiang Beiran suddenly began to miss the neon night scene of the once modern city, where the long streets seemed like fire and the day, without the stars but the clouds.
I walked into Lan Xinxuan with emotion all the way, and when it is now a son, there are only a few tables in the chess hall that are still lit by candlelight.
After all, even in Lanxintang, playing chess is a side lesson, and most disciples still choose to go to bed early, so as not to delay their morning exercises tomorrow.
In the corner, Moxia held an old chess book in his left hand, and dropped a piece on the board with his right hand from time to time.
"Da."
There was a crisp sound of dropping a piece on the chessboard, and Mo Xia, who realized that he had not dropped a piece, suddenly raised his head and said in surprise: "Brother!"
"Come out with me."
"Yes!" Mo Xia blew out the candles immediately after speaking, holding the chessboard to follow Jiang Beiran.
Bringing Mo Xia back to his hut, Jiang Beiran lit two candles and said: "Sit down, what would you like to drink."
"Brother, let me make tea." Mo Xia put down the chessboard and said.
"The visitor is the guest. There is no reason for the guests to make tea. Are you accustomed to drinking Cuiluo tea?"
"I like it very much, thank you brother."
Making a pot of hot tea, Jiang Beiran sat at the table and took out the Yinglongyu chessboard from the Qiankun Ring. This was the prize for winning the first prize at the Yingjie Meeting, but it was a pity that I was always busy afterwards. Very, I haven't used it much until now.
"Use this board."
Moxia immediately put away her chessboard when she heard it, and nodded and said okay.
Don't need Jiang Beiran to say, Mo Xia consciously takes the white first.
"Da, da, da..."
As the sound of falling pieces continued to sound, the situation on the chessboard began to become anxious.
"Huh..." Blowing the heat on the teacup, Jiang Beiran glanced at Mo Xia who was thinking seriously.
‘It’s really fast progress. ’
Compared with the last time he was in the Masked Moon Sect, Mo Xia's chess skill has not improved a little.
"Da."
Putting a sunspot on the [forbidden] position, Jiang Beiran said: "Have you won the process hall?"
Mo Xia, who was being [blocked] by the brother's hand, froze for a while before repliing: "Win... I won."
Jiang Beiran smiled slightly, "Haha, have you won."
"Should I...should not win?" Mo Xia raised his head and asked.
"There is nothing that should or shouldn't, just do what you want, let's go on."
"Yes."
Looking down again and thinking for a long time, Moxia picked up a white piece and landed it on the [Jane] position on the chessboard.
‘Oh? "Jiang Beiran raised his eyebrows in surprise," Didn't you even jump into such a tempting trap? ’
Nodded affirmatively, Jiang Beiran took out another sunspot and fell down.
"Da!" This one seemed to fall on Mo Xia's heart. He just rejoiced that he had escaped the offensive trap set by the trap, but found that he was only thinking about how to avoid it. Upset the previous situation.
‘No...It’s not just me. Brother’s own layout has also been disrupted. I still have a chance! Moxia said, suddenly grabbed a white child and landed on the thirteenth to the seventeenth, [climb]!
"Interesting...is really interesting."
Jiang Beiran suddenly felt very happy when he saw Mo Xia not only failing to defend carefully, but instead wanted to take advantage of the situation to counterattack.
Although Jiang Beiran is not a chess idiot, Go has brought him a lot of happiness. When he racked his brains to break the game, it was like drinking a bottle of ice in the summer, not to mention how cool it was.
But as the chess power gets higher and higher, the loneliness of being too invincible gradually makes Jiang Beiran less enthusiastic about Go. After all, there must be two of the masters to be interesting, otherwise the level 100 bullies the level 1 trumpet. There is no happiness at all.
And at the moment when Mo Xia settled down, the long-lost sense of fun returned to Jiang Beiran's mind.
‘Don’t you play chess according to the routine...I like it. ’
In the end, this game of chess continued to fight until the ugly three quarters before it ended with Moxia surrendering.
While Mo Xia tidied up the chessboard, Jiang Beiran took a sip of the tea ceremony: "Every three days in the future, you will come here to play chess with me. Of course, you don't have to wait if I'm not here."
Mo Xia, who was clearing his chess hand, raised his head in ecstasy and said: "Thank you brother! Thank you brother! I will definitely be there on time!"
Looking at some of Mo Xia's hands that were so excited that there was nowhere to put them, Jiang Beiran changed the subject and said: "By the way, you play daily games, can you learn the exercises with your heart?"
"Yes." Mo Xia nodded, "Li Zhengwen said that if the cultivation level is not improved enough, he will be expelled from the hall, so I only start playing chess every day after I have practiced."
"Then you really don't practice any more."
Jiang Beiran saw that Mo Xia's current cultivation base was the first level of the profound practitioner, and Lan Xintang's rule was that within two years of getting started, as long as he did not stay in Qi training, he would not be expelled.
A little embarrassed, lowering his head, Mo Xia replied: "Because I still think playing chess is more interesting than practicing qigong."
After listening to Mo Xia’s answer, Jiang Beiran suddenly flashed a thought and said: “Playing chess is important, but the cultivation base cannot be lowered. Let’s do this, our hall will not compete with Shuijingtang once a month. Right, every time you advance a ranking, I will play two more games with you, how about?"
After blinking twice, Mo Xia nodded fiercely after making sure that he heard it right, "Okay! I will definitely work hard!"
"Very confident." Jiang Beiran smiled.
Mo Xia scratched his head and whispered: "Confidence...there is no confidence, but I will work hard!"
"Okay, let's have another game." Jiang Beiran looked at the cleaned chessboard and said.
"Yes!"
Jiang Beiran suddenly had this idea, firstly because Moxia looked like that kind of very useful tool man, and secondly, if he could play Go so well, his brain would definitely not be dumb, unless again It's a strange flower like Qinghuan, otherwise it shouldn't be too difficult to practice the exercises.
In addition, there are more and more problems he has to deal with nowadays, the younger brother is really not enough, it's rare to find a good one, so it doesn't hurt to try it out.
The two went down like this until dawn, thinking about meeting the patriarchs later, Jiang Beiran covered the chess and said: "Let’s go down here today."
Although Mo Xia still expressed his thoughts, he still bowed and thanked: "Thank you, brother, for your advice."
Hugging her chessboard, Mo Xia was about to leave when she heard the senior brother shout.
"Wait a moment."
"Senior brother, what else can you tell me?" Mo Xia turned around and asked.
"This Yinglong chessboard is given to you." Jiang Beiran picked up the chessboard and said.
"Huh!?" Mo Xia froze for a moment and waved his hand quickly: "Reactive merits are not subject to rewards, this is too expensive."
"If you haven't slept all night, do you feel tired now?" Jiang Beiran asked.
"This..." Mo Xia replied somewhat startled after hearing it: "Not only did he not have it, but he was very energetic."
"Well, this is the function of this Yinglong chessboard. In the future, you have to both play chess and practice exercises. This chessboard should help you a lot."
"But..."
"Stop it, a good saddle with a BMW. Take it. You played well in the last few games. Keep up the good work and let me enjoy more interesting games like this."
Listening to the brother's unwilling tone, Mo Xia clenched a fist and nodded vigorously, "I will not let the brother down!"
After speaking, he took the chessboard with both hands and saluted Jiang Beiran: "Thank you, brother."
"Well, go ahead."
"Yes, brother, you have to rest earlier."
Moxia finished speaking and opened the door and left the hut.
The moment he closed the door, Mo Xia held the Yinglong chessboard for several times. When he thought that he would be able to play against his senior every three days in the future, and he had the opportunity to play more, he was so excited that he couldn’t do it by himself. .
"Hiss!"
In excitement, Mo Xia suddenly felt all over, as if being stared at by something extremely terrifying.
In a panic, Mo Xia hurriedly looked around for a while, seeing that there was no one, and then hurriedly hid the chessboard in his arms and ran towards his house.
Since then.
Jiang Beiran took a carriage to Cangtao City. As the largest city in Lulin County, the prosperity of Cangtao City can be ranked even in Fengzhou.
However, the prosperity is limited to this world. For Jiang Beiran, who has lived in a 21st century metropolis, this Cangtao City can be said to be dirty and messy.
Muddy roads, people and dogs and pigs who urinate everywhere, Jiang Beiran was almost spit out when he first came to this world, but after getting used to it, his nose seemed to automatically block these odors, at least not before. It's so pungent.
The road is full of **** and waste. At first glance, it is not a big problem to say that this is a mountain of rubbish.
Jiang Beiran has been strange before. Farmers in this world understand the importance of fertilization. The extremely lucrative profession of manure digging has also emerged as the times require. In principle, the city should not be so messy, at least not full. Ground feces.
However, no matter what era, there is no shortage of "savvy" people. These dung-diggers often deliberately fail to remove the feces and garbage in time for the sky-high price. After the piles are piled up, the citizens who are really intolerable have to hold them. Nose promises all kinds of demanding requirements of dung diggers.
As for why the government does not care, because the evil feudal society does not have a municipal department, let alone the Environmental Protection Agency.
Take a hundred steps and say, even if there is an Environmental Protection Agency, there are still places to throw **** everywhere even in the 21st century, not to mention here.
‘Alright, soon, there will be cement roads soon. ’
With the curtain down, Jiang Beiran imagined that the city was no longer muddy and dirty.
‘That way I should be able to find some home taste...’
Driving through the intricate roads, the horse-drawn carriage stopped in front of a luxurious mansion. This is the residence that usually receives the envoys of Guixinzong. The decoration and configuration inside are the best of this era.
After all, for all local families in Fengzhou, Guixinzong is the real "emperor".
As soon as he got off the car, Jiang Beiran saw a middle-aged man in a lab coat greeted him and knelt in front of him and shouted: "Caomin welcomes your majesty, long live the emperor."
If you change to the former emperor, this middle-aged man will not say kneeling down, and he will save you face if he doesn't give a blank look.
After all, the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door, as a peripheral person who specializes in his counterpart, would he be afraid of an emperor? Do you dare to offend me and try?
But Jiang Beiran is different. This is not only the emperor, but also a disciple of Guixinzong. Even Master Baishan specially ordered that he must be received properly. If there is a problem, he will be exiled with the instructions of the whole family.
Under such an order, the middle-aged man was naturally frightened and showed a hundred and twenty points of enthusiasm to welcome the new emperor of the Sheng Kingdom.
"Be flat, is the reception room ready?" Jiang Beiran asked.
"Ready, as you ordered, it is the highest standard."
"Okay, take me to see."
"According to the order, please please."
Under the leadership of the middle-aged man, Jiang Beiran came to a living room with colored glaze cups, all kinds of goldware, porcelain, and dental carvings, which were magnificent.
"Nicely furnished."
"Thanks to the emperor, praise." The middle-aged man bowed quickly.
After patrolling around again, Jiang Beiran found that the building was really no worse than his bedroom, and it was in stark contrast to the streets outside.
"Go out, I will stay here for a while." Jiang Beiran said to the middle-aged housekeeper after entering a wing room.
"Yes, your Majesty, just call out if you have something to do, and the younger one is waiting outside." After speaking, he went backwards very well.
An hour later, the middle-aged butler knocked on the door of the wing room: "Your Majesty Qizou~IndoMTL.com~ Wang's house is also here. The villain has arranged them to wait in the West Hall."
With a squeak, the door of the wing room was opened, Jiang Beiran came out and asked, "Is everything almost here?"
The middle-aged housekeeper bent over and replied: "Return to your Majesty, only the Liu family and the Li family are missing, and all other families are here."
"I'll be entertained."
"Yes, please rest assured, your Majesty." The middle-aged butler raised his head as he said, but the whole person was taken aback.
‘Where’s the fairy! ? ’
At this moment, behind Jiang Beiran, there are two women with completely different temperaments, but they are both extremely beautiful. A middle-aged butler who comes out randomly feels that even the first beauty in Cangtao City, Jitao, can’t compare. Got.
However, he didn't dare to ask more, he didn't even dare to look more, and quickly lowered his head and said: "The little man will continue to entertain the distinguished guests."
"Well, go." Jiang Beiran nodded.
"Say okay first, I won't pour tea or water for those people!" When the middle-aged butler left, Mu Yao, who had just been picked up by Jiang Beiran from the palace, raised her head and said.
Jiang Beiran turned his head and glanced at her after listening.
When she saw Jiang Beiran's eyes, Mu Yao immediately curled her neck and said: "Those people will oppress the people...I don't..."
In the middle of the conversation, Mu Yao, who felt a majestic aura slowly enveloping herself, shouted: "I see! Just this time!"
The reason Jiang Beiran wanted to bring Deng Xianghan and Mu Yao was because he would bring a beautiful maid if he picked up a large sum of money later, but he didn't have one. Wouldn't he lose in the aura?
That's why I flew back and brought these two over. After all, in terms of beauty, these two are still very good at fighting.
