Relief

Lu Hui's small courtyard has become a gathering place for everyone to gather and discuss. The disciples passing by together on the small road couldn't help but take a look.

The guards watched closely, knowing that this courtyard was tricky, and the number of patrols passing by was three times that of other places, and anyone who probed would be cut off by the Yanmen machete.

In the half-covered sky with clouds and mist, a chessboard was placed on the stone table, with seventeen horizontal and seventeen vertical, black and white chess pieces were all at Shi Renyu's hand.

"As soon as I entered, the master asked me to sit opposite the chessboard." Shi Renyu said.

"Where's Feng Jing?" Lu Hui asked.

"Commander Feng is watching the scenery under the eaves," Shi Renyu thought for a while, and added, "But I always feel that he is also looking at me."

Nonsense, is that watching?That's surveillance.Everyone slandered tacitly in their hearts.

"Then Master asked me if I could play chess," Shi Renyu regretted, "I said no."

Lu Hui: "What did Master say?"

The stone man said foolishly, "Master rolled his eyes."

All the people listening: "..."

Yue Guanshan slapped his face to cover his face, and whispered to Wu Li: "Why do I think this brother is a bit stupid?"

Wu Li nodded in agreement: "You can keep your voice down, people are watching."

Shi Renyu tried his best to recall the situation at that time, picked up a sunspot and dropped it on the Tianyuan in the middle of the chessboard, scratched his head, and noticed that the expressions of several people around him changed immediately.

They are all people who understand chess, such as Lu Hui and Jing Busheng.Unexpectedly, Qiongshan's three senior brothers don't have this arty leisure, and they are just as confused as Yueguanshan. Yueguanshan doesn't know how to play chess, he only knows how to fight.

"Is there any question?" Shi Renyu asked cautiously, he was afraid that he might misremember and mislead everyone.

Jing Busheng clasped his fan, exchanged a glance with Lu Hui, and said, "The first step is usually not in Tianyuan..."

Lu Hui knew his senior brother and master too well, and asked, "What kind of chess do you play?"

Shi Renyu replied: "Renju chess."

"........."

"........."

"Do it!" Shu Yinzhi threw the chess piece in his hand, "Say it clearly, brother, what are you doing? It's not Go!"

"I didn't say it was Go." Shi Renyu was also puzzled.

Lu Hui was also speechless: "You can't play Renju either?"

Shi Renyu: "No."

After tossing and tossing, Feng Zhichang was a little bored, leaning against the back of the wheelchair and yawning, some of his small movements were very charming, like a domestic cat that had let its guard down, lazy and coquettish.

When I was in Suzhou, I was still a poisonous snake in the gutter. When did it change?Was it when he left the island in the lake with a knot in his heart, or when he grabbed the back of his neck and forcibly grabbed him into his arms?Xie Zhixu sat next to Feng Zhichang, with one arm resting on the elbow of the wheelchair, in a very possessive posture.

"Why are you a fool." Feng Zhichang's voice was as thin as a gossamer, it got into Xie Zhixu's ears, and he was the only one who heard it.

After being injured, Feng Zhi often became very talkative, knowing that Xie Zhixu likes to listen to his own voice, and when he is in a good mood, he is willing to follow Xie Zhixu's hair.

He no longer resisted the scars left by his unsatisfactory childhood as before.

Xie Zhixu heard it, showing an indistinct smile.

Sitting next to the two of them, Tang Yu, who had been demoted from a guard to a follower, looked at his nose, his nose, his heart, and weakened his sense of existence with a wink.

The black and white two pieces gradually meander and crawl all over the chessboard.Shi Renyu would like to thank a junior like Lu Hui. He really couldn't immediately recall what kind of chess game he played with his master, but Lu Hui was able to guide him to restore it step by step.

"That's the only way," Shi Renyu said, "I only know the rules, and I have never played with anyone before. Master asked me to sharpen my sword before the battle, and it doesn't look good when I play."

Everyone around the chessboard was lost in thought.

Forget about Go, what else can be done in Renju, everyone understands it to some extent.It was obvious that Zhu Dexiang had won this chess game many times whether it was five pieces or six pieces and seven pieces, but he did not stop and continued to play the entire board with his disciples.

To play chess not to win is not to play chess, but to send a message.

Lu Hui didn't see why, and asked unwillingly, "What else did Master say?"

The stone man shook his head foolishly.He was sent away after playing chess.

A game of chess, or a game of renju.Even if there is any message to be conveyed, both parties must cooperate. However, Shi Renyu walked in a disorderly manner, and could only follow Zhu Dexiang passively, turning into a struggling and twisted snake in black and white, and the traces of crawling were messy.

Feng Zhichang suddenly said:

——I've seen people hide maps with chessboards before.

"Map?" Xie Zhixu asked unexpectedly.

As soon as he made a sound, everyone looked over.Lu Hui frowned, apparently not expecting this level.A fan bone was placed on the sunspot at Tianyuan, Jing Busheng said: "If it is a map, then I have an idea, please refer to it. Master Zhu holds the black first, if this sunspot represents the emperor Where is the location of the ridge?"

As soon as this remark came out, the messy chessboard came to life, with black and white stretching in two colors, one is Qingshui River and the other is Modi River, flowing out of Huangrenling, down to Kaifeng City in the south, to the east Binhai, is the Suzhou-Hangzhou line, to the west It is Fengzhou and Chengdu, and further south, there are piles of chess pieces in the corner.

The sunspots seem to be playing in the southwest corner intentionally, and the Renzhu chess is a line, so it is useless to pile up in the corner.However, Zhu Dexiang let the black line run rampant in the southwest corner, dividing the territory into fragments, and the white chess became a weak and helpless headless fly here, crushed by the powerful attack.

"What do you mean?" Yue Guanshan scratched his head, "What's in the southwest?"

"Chengdu Mansion counts to the southwest, there are Tangmen and Qiongshan Mountains," Wu Li said, "In the most southwestern corner... there is also Heyizhai in Nanning!"

Heyizhai is a nun's nunnery, hidden in the deep mountains and old forests, and is famous all over the world for its lightness skills.

Under Feng Jing's all-pervasive surveillance, what is the message that Zhu Dexiang conveyed using the chessboard as a map?

Everyone has guesses in their hearts.

The black piece is like a knife, piercing straight into the southwestern hinterland.

"Nanning Heyizhai is in trouble." Lu Hui said solemnly.

The patrol passed the fence for the third time and stood still.

"It is forbidden to gather crowds in violation of the regulations!" The captain shook the gate of the courtyard with great force, wishing that the courtyard would be demolished immediately.

None of the people around the stone table and chessboard paid any attention to him, Yanmen and Ning Wu hung shoulders and backs, blocking the gate of the courtyard to count the snails on the flowers and leaves of the fence.The two teenagers were laughing and having fun, but their hands were on the waist knife. Whenever the guards with no eyes dared to step into the small courtyard, the waist knife would be bloody.

The guests didn't take Commander Feng seriously, nor did the younger brothers and sisters.Of all the people present, only Shi Renyu was careful to maintain the surface peace. He wiped off the cold sweat on his brow, and Baba stood up: "It's over, it's over, right now."

"Hurry up!" the captain sternly said.

Lu Hui sat still, and slowly put away the pieces on the chessboard.

The big Qiu who wrapped him in Yueguan Mountain looked like an uncle, squatting beside Yanmen Ningwu: "Have you counted clearly, how many tentacles does a snail have?"

The back shell was curled up on the rhododendron leaves, motionless, and the two children Yanmen and Ningwu were spoiled.

"Four!" Yanmen said, "I'm so scared, they shrink when touched. If they dare to stick out, I'll cut them off!" He imitated Yueguan Mountain, licking his canine teeth with the tip of his tongue, smiling sinisterly.

The faces of the four patrolmen outside the fence were darker than the bottom of the pot.

"Let's go now." Only Shi Renyu was the peacemaker, and he turned to call Shu Yinzhi, "Hurry up, junior sister."

Shu Yinzhi jumped away from the wall with a tiger leap.

Shi Renyu: "..."

When the guards left, Shu Yinzhi returned with a cloth bag in his hand.

"Where's Mr. Feng?"

Wu Li, who was enjoying the cool air in the courtyard, pointed her to the room.

Shu Yinzhi roared anxiously, holding the cloth bag in both hands preciously, and rushed in without even knocking on the door, Feng Zhichang pushed Xie Zhixu away at once.

The window screens in the room were tightly closed, and there was an ambiguous residual warmth in the small space. Xie Zhixu was still holding on to the wheelbarrow with one hand, but Feng Zhixu couldn't push him away from him, so he could only tilt his head and cough with his fists to hide most of it. face.

Shu Yinzhi petrified on the spot holding the cloth bag.

Xie Zhixu said nonchalantly, "Senior Sister Shu, what's the matter?"

Shu Yinzhi fell into a frenzy of doubting her life, and she was always facing subversion. At this moment, she was blessed with happiness, and the revolving lantern flashed across the sky—why did Xie Zhixu follow her and Sister Jing to pick flowers on the way before, and even had a fight with Jing? Learning to make tea, what does it mean to always look somewhere? Xiang Heng made Feng Zhichang suffer and turned around, and was taught the warmth and comfort of the world by Xie Zhixu. There is such a dedication to being a junior...

That's it!

Feng Zhi often had a thin layer of red on his face that had remained unchanged for many years, but fortunately the light was dim and it was difficult to detect.

A poisonous snake can turn into a house cat even with its fangs retracted.

The black-scaled snake came out from Feng Zhichang's neckline, it was shedding its skin, it couldn't help rubbing against something, slipped along Feng Zhichang's shoulder and climbed onto Xie Zhixu's arm, rubbing it with dependence and enjoyment.Feng Zhichang had a horrible expression on his face, grabbed his neck and tore it off.

"What's the matter?" Xie Zhixu repeated.

"Ah, I, I, I..." Shu Yinzhi's tongue was tied, "Just, just the size you gave me before, uh, the things are ready, please take a look!"

There was no room for a table in the small room, so Shu Yinzhi stomped the long object vertically on the ground, and untied the cloth strip——

It was a piece of steel cast into a model of a human calf, and it was a bit dull due to insufficient lighting, but no one would doubt its material, and a faint trace of light lay across the two surprised faces reflected on its smooth surface between.

Feng Zhichang never expected that Xie Zhixu would measure him angrily before to make this thing.

Xie Zhixu didn't expect Shu Yinzhi to finish it so quickly, and even make it look like this.

"It's not pure iron," Shu Yinzhi explained, "it's wood-wrapped iron, which won't be very heavy. The red sandalwood used for wood is wrapped with fine iron, which is very resistant to blows. You see——"

She turned her calf over, exposing the soles of her shoes.

"This one." Shu Yinzhi didn't dare to put his finger on a finely protruding blade that runs through the sole of the shoe, "it's inlaid on the bottom of the foot. It's easy to split stones and jade. When you meet an opponent, you just need to lightly kick him on the chest." One kick, Custodian can split the whole person!"

Feng Zhichang: "..."

Xie Zhixu: "..."

"Too," (too cruel) Xie Zhixu said sincerely, "It's great, thank you!"

He never expected that Shu Yinzhi could make prosthetic limbs into killer weapons, and the disciples of Huangrenling, the arsenal of the world's arsenal, should not be underestimated.

Just when Shu Yinzhi came to the door, Xie Zhixu remembered something. He took out a dagger from his pocket and put it in a leather scabbard. It was a blood abacus.That day in the tomb, Tang Haifeng was carrying a blood abacus on his body. He left him in the underground river, but he remembered to get back the dagger.

"Now it's back to the original owner." Xie Zhixu said, finally understood something in his heart.

Shu Yinzhi didn't expect that the lost magic weapon could be found again. She didn't know that the blood abacus was in the hands of Feng Jing's deputy, Tang Haifeng.

But after all, it returned to Zhao intact, and it was a good thing that it was not locked in the equipment warehouse and fell into Feng Jing's hands.Shu Yinzhi didn't ask any more questions, thanked the hatchback, and left with a blood abacus.
