That little fly

Shui Qingqian chatted gossip with her new friend, biting a snack while dangling her calf, "Why didn't you go to class today?"

"I'm on sick leave. I could have rested at home." Yuan Mu explained, but he felt that the words came out of Shui Qingqian's mouth, and there was a particularly unnatural feeling, "What about you, you didn't go to class?"

"I have finished today's lesson." Shui Qingqian was confident.However, Yuan Mu's words opened another window for him: It turns out that you can not go to school even if you are sick...

"Then you have to be careful." Yuan Mu didn't know Shui Qingqian's narrow eyes, he was talking about another thing, "I heard that because you have a photographic memory, the doctors will arrange another course for you."

"how do you know?"

Yuan Mu raised his eyebrows. As a favorite student, he could always hear gossip that others didn't know.

Shui Qingqian straightened up suddenly as if awakened, looked at the food box, and then at Yuan Mu, did she dare to lose her vest? "Do you know who I am?! Why didn't you misunderstand that I was a book boy?"

Yuan Mu looked up at the beam in silence.

The Taixue is located in the Forbidden Garden of the Great Nei, where there are palace rules and regulations, which bookboy dares to hang out in the important place of the bookstore?Still eating and sleeping?Also packed honey, milk, and various snacks in the box?Regardless of the fact that every Tai student carries two or three sets of boxes with him, which are full of serious work for school, books, pens and ink, copybooks and chess records. Maybe you have to bring a musical instrument; if you are going to do martial arts, you have to prepare a leather bean outfit for riding and shooting. Even if three or two carrying cases are not enough, how about some snacks?Yuan Mu didn't bother to talk about these things, but raised his finger behind Shui Qingqian, "I know it, it's 'half an inch of gold'."

Shui Qingqian turned his head, and what Yuan Mu was talking about was the blanket he had just slept on. This thing was called the 'Kashmi Square Scarf' and it was a rare product originally from the ancient country of Kashmi in West Mo.Don't think that Shui Qingqian is using it as a quilt, in fact, it is very light and thin, and this big bedding can easily pass through a finger.According to legend, it is woven with the close-fitting fluff of the cold antelope in the northwest of the desert, and it takes three skilled weavers a month to weave one inch.

The materials used are rare and the craftsmanship is complicated. The output of square scarves is only a few pieces every year, and they are also paid tribute to Dongzhou Shangguo.Legend has it that the silk from Dongzhou is sold at the same price as gold in the northwest desert, but this square scarf is twice as expensive as silk when bought and sold in the place of origin. Breeding, the Moxi antelope lives in the bitter cold, running and jumping so fast that even casual hunters can't see it.How about calling it "Half Inch Gold".

Things are so rare, even if they are hidden in the family, they are often gifted by the emperor, and they are not used by the ancestors. Yuan Mu has never seen a family like Ningrenhou's mansion, where children are wrapped up and rolled around, so carelessly.

"It's really a precious treasure." Yuan Mu muttered in a low voice, not knowing whether he was feeling something or someone.

It works, so I use it.Shui Qingqian's philosophy of life has always been straightforward. Shuiyinzhuang has high mountains and the emperor is far away, and the people's livelihood in the countryside is simple.Now, living in Kyoto, it's not easy, it's the first time that Shui Qingqian really understands the words in the book.Yuan Mu taught him a lesson today: rank and file, status and so on, here in the imperial capital, it turns out that not only people, but even things are classified as high or low.

"What do you think this is?" Yuan Mu saw him silent for a while.

Shui Qingqian is reflecting.

In the past, in order not to go to school, he thought about pretending to be illiterate, a country bastard who doesn't understand official language, or an uneducated dandy... He was rejected for various reasons, and then he found this schoolboy pretending to play truant It doesn't look like the door is safe, it was exposed so quickly...

Shui Qingqian waved her hands suddenly, nonchalantly, "Don't worry, there must be other ways."

Yuan Mu felt blessed at this moment, he felt... this little Feitian... ahem, is he talking about skipping class?

"Is this a chess record?" Shui Qingqian came back to her senses and noticed the letter in Yuan Mu's hand for the first time.

"Wu Tu Chess Classic."

"Bamboo slips?" Shui Qingqian was taken aback. All he knew, bought, and read were all printed editions in bulk at the bookstore.

"And it was written by Mr. Wu himself." Yuan Mu shook the bamboo slips in his hand proudly at Shui Qingqian. The most original manuscript of Wu Tuqi Jing was collected in Tianranjushuge of Taixue, and now he holds it in his hand. on hand.

Not sure if it was a worship mentality, Shui Qingqian turned his head and looked at the densely packed bookcases in the east wing opposite. Before, even if he was killed, he would not believe that the original works of Wu Gong were collected in such an ordinary small building like this.So, besides Mr. Wu's calligraphy, how many rare and rare books are there in the opposite room?Shui Qingqian suddenly understood: So, this is Taixue, the most prominent academy in the empire. Its prestige does not only refer to power and wealth, but also because it gathers the world's most elite resources and countless treasures.If you don't enter this door, you won't be able to see the trail of Zhongnan.

Seeing Shui Qingqian staring blankly at the other side, Yuan Mu suddenly suggested with great interest, "I'll take you somewhere."

"This is Duke Wu's last Zhenlong game." Yuan Mu pointed to the big chessboard on the wall.

Yuan Mu took Shui Qingqian to Qianji Pavilion, which is the activity place of Qianji Society, a traditional chess-playing society of Taixue. "Back then, Wu Gong was a preacher here and left several classic chess books. The one on the wall is also written by Wu Gong."

For Yu Shui Qingqian, Wu Gong Shengshou is a character that only exists in books and history. A master who has passed away for 300 years has left priceless wealth to future generations. He stands where the saint lived for many years and watched the saint's last death. Handwriting, especially a kind of magical excitement.Shui Qingqian settled her mind for a while, then looked up to study Zhenlong on the wall, saw it for the first time, and said with certainty, "I haven't seen it before."

"Of course. This game has not been circulated, it is the only one." Yuan Mu also looked up at the chess game on the wall, with pride and admiration, and a little frustration, "This is Wu Gong's last game, there is no solution. "

"No one unlocked it?" Shui Qingqian was very suspicious.

"Anyway, there is nothing in Taixue." Yuan Mu said this, with complicated feelings, "If it spreads...maybe. After all, the world is so big, there are many capable people and strange people. Who knows."

However, this copy was not circulated in the end, and it was hidden in Taixue, where only the privileged class could access it.It can't be said that Taixue cherishes himself with a broom. Shui Qingqian seems to understand the complexity, which is commemoration and cherishment, as well as the pride and reserve of being a student of the Taixue and a direct descendant of Duke Wu...the list goes on and on.But on second thought, Shui Qingqian abandoned those complicated emotions, and her mind was attracted.After taking a cold look just now, he only felt that Zhenlong was a cripple, full of loopholes, and it shouldn't be difficult to solve.Once you focus on the details and find out that there are flaws that can kill you, you can die at every step, just as Yuan Mu said, there is no solution.Shui Qingqian unbelievingly bites a little bit and thinks again, and then digs out the lifeless mechanism, as if he is living everywhere, but in a blink of an eye, he is in death again, and his whole body is sent out in a single movement.

"Strange. How strange."

"Well," Yuan Mu wasn't surprised by Shui Qingqian's reaction at all, that's exactly what happened. "At first glance, you think this is an unfinished endgame. But after careful consideration, you feel that the layout is perfect, and there is nowhere to start. If you continue to look at it, it looks like an endgame. If you really want to break the game, you find that there is no loophole. It is said , Wu Gong set up a game, and the water and rice did not enter for a day and a night. When the servants found out, he was already dead. Therefore, no one knows if this is a real Zhenlong game." Maybe it is just an incomplete waste game.

After Yuan Mu finished speaking, he stood quietly on the ground with Shui Qingqian, looking at the chess game on the wall.

After an unknown amount of time, Shui Qingqian suddenly moved, kicked off her shoes, ran to the couch, picked up a sunspot, and landed on a deadly spot with a bang.Yuan Mu was already familiar with the chess game. Seeing the momentary change of the chessboard, he was suddenly moved. He was taken aback for a moment, then got off the couch, ran to the wall with a few strides, took the white from the chess box, and snapped. , the lift fell to another place.

Shui Qingqian saw that his living eyes were about to be chopped off, and he changed his hands and twisted his bones, dead and alive again; Yuanmu Baizi had his tip cut off, and then Heizi stood up, hit for nothing, eat for nothing...the two of you come and go, one hand replaces the other , The chess game quickly became entangled.Originally a confusing and treacherous situation, gradually became clear during the fight between the two. Yuan Mu's white son hides the dragon and crouches, murderous intent is everywhere in the calm, and the black eagle with clear water spreads its wings to resist tenaciously.

In this move, Yuan Mu's Bai Ziluo, Hidden Dragon showed his true body, and seeing that another step was the flying dragon in the sky, the whole situation was revived, the water was clear and the light was black, and he ignored the fact that he was forced to be in danger in the mid game, but went straight into the opponent's formation In the middle, snap, a point was made on the back of the dragon's tail and the tiger's spine, and the ultimate move that had been brewing for a long time was released.

Yuan Mu's face was serious, he stared at the chessboard and thought for a long time, and finally let out a deep breath, "I lost."

Although the chess board still seems to be stalemate and lively, it is a vigorous battle, but Yuan Mu knows that the general situation is over, and the two have been fighting for a long time. , but still unknowingly let the opponent plant a murderous eye in his own game and turn the tables in one fell swoop. Such an opponent will not make fatal mistakes at will.So even if it continued, Yuan Mu would be nothing more than stalking and dying, that would be too shameless.

Maybe Yuan Mu should be a little bit unwilling, but compared to that little bit of jealousy, he felt more wonder and amazement: Is this the real, mysterious, and legendary Fei Tian'er?

But the legendary little Feitian let out a long breath, sat down so tired, and praised Yuan Mu, "You are really amazing."

Yuan Mu was also tired, but he still stood there, looking at the chess game on the wall for a long time, reminiscing about the fight that he had just stormed and outwitted, and reminiscing about Zhenlong's ingenious layout. After all these emotions, he suddenly realized: "We, We broke Zhenlong..." Yuan Mu murmured, unable to tell what was going on in his heart.Breaking the Zhenlong game means that their fight will be recorded forever in the history of Taixue and passed down through the ages.An inadvertently skipping class in the morning, an unimportant unexpected visit, even he just brought Shui Qingqian to visit here out of some show-off mentality, this little flying boy even saw this Zhenlong for the first time.Yuan Mu felt as if he had a dream.

"You, how did you do it?" Yuan Mu turned his head and saw no one. When he lowered his head, he saw the cunning, murderous little Fei Tian'er lying on the couch like a cat with a bright belly. .

Shui Qingqian waved his hand, and said with certainty, "Based on feeling."

"what?"

Shui Qingqian twisted and pointed at a few places, "It doesn't work here, it's a dead end here, this, this, and that eye... I've counted it all, it's not easy to use. So," spreading hands, "I I don’t know how to start, so I just touch one by feeling.”

Yuan Mu: What is disillusionment...

nightfall,

"...Later, Mr. Yuan San took Mr. Shui to Qianji Pavilion, where they broke Wu Gongzhen's situation. When we parted, I saw the two of them talking and laughing..." A warrior in ocher was reporting.

When Emperor Jiayou heard this, he raised his eyebrows, which was a good omen.That little thing is very difficult to deal with, and it will definitely not work by pressing the cow's head to drink water.However, birds of a feather flock together, do people divide into groups?Emperor Jiayou didn't believe that the university could not find someone who would suit his eyes. As expected, he ran into a child from the Yuan family. of.

"What about other movements?"

"Going back to the official's house, there are some weird rumors. However, except for the third son of the Yuan Mansion, Mr. Shui didn't interact with anyone else." In the eyes of the head guard, that little flying sky has a lot of eyes, and it doesn't look like Anyone can get close. "As for others, there is no sign yet."

Emperor Jiayou felt comforted when he heard the words. As for who it was and what kind of words were passed on, they were all those bitter words, and they couldn't escape from a few families. "You tell the people below to be more vigilant. His grandpa is not paying attention, but what should be done is still to be done, especially safety."

"Yes."

Compared with the coercive and solemn atmosphere in the palace, Yuan Mu's house is much more lively. While preparing Mrs. Tang, the eldest maid said in a brisk tone, "Third Master, it's a cold. It's been a long time since I heard a cough. It's a good deal." Ma'am, old lady's heart."

"Our third master is a star of Wenqu, who can cure all diseases as soon as he sees a book." Cheng Xia loosened Yuan Mu's hair briskly.

Yuan Mu sat there waiting for the maid to brush his hair, recalling the scenes during the day, there were clear and shallow water, and delicate scenes, and he was in a good mood. "I should have disobeyed you. I was bored in the room all day long. If I didn't get sick, I would get sick. If I went to the school for a walk, I might get better sooner."

"Third Master's words are not kind." Li Xia made the bed and said with a smile, "I heard that if you want to get better from the wind and cold, you need to pass the sickness to others. After it passes, you will be fine. Today, the master is in school, but the sickness Are you mad at someone else?"

"Where did the nonsense come from?" Yuan Mu thought of Shui Qingqian, and could see that little Fei Tianer was being cherished by the family.And that game of chess, Yuan Mu didn't expect Shui Qingqian to ask him to keep it a secret afterwards.Sharing a little secret feels... not bad.

That little flying sky is very easy to get along with, not at all like the rumors.

"Hehe, a difficult little flying sky?"

At the same time, Shifu.

"Ah Chirp—" Shui Qingqian rubbed his nose, thoughtfully, and then wrote back to the channel with a pen, "I think I'm sick, this is not bad news, you know, I heard that the river has been frozen, this year I've never ridden on an ice car..."

Shui Qingqian lay at the table and babbled back to the letter, telling how cruel his parents were, forcing him to go to school before dawn, describing how much the classroom looked like a small dark room, and finally there was a heavy snowfall the day before yesterday, and there were many He wants to go wherever he wants to go. Recently, there are New Year's shopping peaks, six squares and four cities, which are very big and lively...

On Shui Qingqian's left hand side, there is a rosewood box with a flip cover. Inside are gold and silver zippers for auspiciousness, and jade objects symbolizing peace and happiness. These are standard Chinese New Year gifts. Less of that kind of stuff.It’s just that besides these, this box also has a few other gadgets, such as a leaf whistle carved from green jadeite, an iron cricket the size of a thumb, and three sets of ivory hollow incense balls... There is a name note under the rosewood box, and the calligraphy on it is elegant and powerful. , in the exposed half of the note, I wish Luzi a safe, happy and healthy new year, and the signature is simply the word "Azhao" without a surname.

A certain person stayed up late at night, came and went with a toy in his arms, and wrote a long letter by lighting a lamp, and then the next day and the third day, almost everyone in the upper class knew that the little flying bird was sick, wasn't it like someone It is the kind of disease that people want to "excuse not to go to school, so that they can run out to play". Unfortunately, the child has chickenpox.
