If you don't go to the house, you are not a gentleman

An Le walked into her residence rubbing her stomach, closed the door, and lay on the bed waiting for the county magistrate to leave.

It's a pity that the county magistrate's internal strength is very deep, and he didn't make any sound at all. Anle waited for a long time, until Mingyue had moved to the treetops, and then he got up again, and took out a pinched wrinkle from his arms. Crumpled paper and a writing brush, the ink on the writing brush has already stained Anle's skirt black.

An Le was extremely thankful that it was too dark to see clearly.

He carefully and lightly put the pen and paper back to their original place, and finally lay back on the bed and snored.

The next day.

An Le rubbed his sore back and stood up. When he began to complain that the bed was too hard, the servant who had been by the magistrate's side knocked on his door.

"What?" An Le opened the door.

The boy said angrily, "My lord told you to eat."

An Le blinked and blurted out, "Do you have sweet and sour pork ribs?"

The boy frowned, "Do you eat sweet and sour pork early in the morning?"

An Le sighed softly, "Then it's gone."

"Are you going or not?" The servant had already lifted his foot and left.

An Le immediately followed.

As he walked, An Le thought in his heart, for a person as extravagant as the county magistrate, he should have a rich meal, and he saw sweet and sour pork ribs last night.

It turns out that An Le had a good idea.

Looking at the dining table, in front of the county magistrate, there was a bowl of egg flower porridge, a plate of beautifully served cold dishes, a cup of steaming clear tea with a rich tea aroma, and a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

It's sweet-scented osmanthus cake again.

There is always osmanthus cake!

An Le pulled out the only chair and sat down, waiting for them to serve him food.

After waiting for a while, it was indeed served to him.

It was a plate of white steamed buns, a large plate of white steamed buns.

Anle said to the county magistrate without laughing or laughing: "My lord! Will you let the grassroots eat this plate of white steamed buns?"

The county magistrate had already drank half a bowl of porridge. He took a sip of his tea and said slowly, "Why do you still know how to use honorifics. Why, what's the problem?"

An Le looked at the food in front of the county magistrate, and then at his own. He said solemnly, "My lord, didn't you say you have to eat?"

"Aren't you full after eating so much? Have another plate?"

An Le said: "...My lord's understanding of my words is really straightforward."

The county magistrate raised his eyebrows, "Do you still want to eat delicacies from mountains and seas?"

"Is it possible?" An Le's eyes lit up, and his whole face became lively.

The county magistrate picked up the tea and took another sip, "We'll talk about it after you make a contribution."

An Le said depressedly: "My lord, how difficult it is to find those dead ghosts with strange temperaments."

"Isn't that the time to test your ability?" The county magistrate raised the corner of his mouth, "I have made a meritorious service, and I will reward you with a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake."

"..."

The county magistrate put down the teacup, and the servant immediately filled it up.

The county magistrate picked up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake with his chopsticks, cut out a small piece and put it in his mouth.

An Le felt a toothache just looking at it.

"How do you plan to track down the whereabouts of those four ghosts?"

An Le just swallowed a white steamed bun dryly, his throat was so dry, "What do you think?"

The county magistrate cut another piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, "You still want me to guess?"

An Le swallowed to smooth his throat, and then he showed a slightly flattering smile, "My lord, how about giving Caomin a cup of tea first?"

"No way." The county magistrate said; "People who don't know how to taste tea are wasting good tea."

An Le blinked, and resignedly took a big bite of the white steamed bun.

When he swallowed the first white steamed bun, he said, "Does your lord know which four ghosts are the four ghosts?"

The county magistrate raised his eyes, but did not answer.

An Le suddenly smiled, "The sword ghost specializes in assassination, the doctor ghost practices medicine at a high price, the poet ghost dismisses his office and lives in seclusion, and the chess ghost settles in Jiangnan. How do you think about it?"

The county magistrate looked up at An Le completely, "Are you going to start with the chess ghost?"

An Le blinked, and instead of answering, looked at the tea in the hands of the county magistrate.

The magistrate sneered, "Give him a drink."

The servant reluctantly came out of the dark and served An Le a cup of tea.

An Le salivated when she smelled the tea.

He proudly downed the whole cup, finally smoothing his throat.

"My lord, among the four ghosts, I am most familiar with the chess ghost, followed by the sword ghost."

"Oh?"

An Le continued: "Although my lord wants to find the sword ghost, the whereabouts of the sword ghost are a mystery, and it is difficult to find him. And the chess ghost lives in the south of the Yangtze River. Although it is anonymous, there is still a place to start."

The county magistrate twitched his lips slightly, "How did you know that the chess ghost lives in the south of the Yangtze River?"

An Le laughed even more frivolously, "The four ghosts in the south of the Yangtze River, the four ghosts in the south of the Yangtze River, although three ghosts are missing, but the chess ghost is indeed in the south of the Yangtze River."

"How to find him?"

An Le narrowed his eyes slightly, and his eyes darkened, "My lord, the reason why the chess ghost is called the chess ghost is not only because of his superb chess skills and invincibility, he is also a chess crazy person."

The county magistrate understood, "Are you planning to lure him out by playing chess?"

Indeed, the prey is in the dark, but the hunter is in the light. If you want to see the prey thoroughly, you must lure the prey to the light.

An Le finished all the white steamed buns, and the monotonous taste spread on the tip of his tongue. He twisted a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake in his mouth with some itchy hands, and the familiar sweet and greasy taste completely covered the dry taste.

"Naturally, after all, the chess ghost is the most deceitful among the four ghosts."

The magistrate put down his chopsticks, "However, who do you ask to lure him?"

An Le also put down the teacup, he smiled again, and said helplessly in a regretful tone: "My lord always underestimates me."

The county magistrate chuckled and said, "Could it be that you are going to lure him out? With your chess skills?"

"My lord," An Le said with a smile, "Why don't you try my chess skills yourself?"

"No need, just go as long as you want." To Anle's surprise, the county magistrate didn't plan to play chess with him.

An Le blinked, "My lord believes that my chess skills are not bad?"

The county magistrate said: "I don't believe it."

"..."

After eating breakfast, An Le changed her clothes and went out.

An Le wandered to the tavern along the way, probably because the arrestees came and went a lot, so it was a bit deserted recently.

He habitually untied the wine gourd on his waist and asked for white wine, but it was not full. An Le touched the few silver taels left, and somewhat complained that the county magistrate was so violent in his work.

There were not many pedestrians on the street, and An Le could feel that someone was following behind him. Mo Yue was sent by the county magistrate to watch him.

An Le sighed silently, took a bold sip of white wine, shook his head and turned to the bustling street.

There are not many restaurants and tea shops on this street, there is only one tea shop, but the business is very hot, because there is a storyteller with a good eloquence.

An Le looked at the quiet tea shop on the noisy street with some curiosity. He originally wanted to go directly to the chess hall, but made up his mind not to waste time, and then walked into that tea shop without hesitation.

After finally finding an empty seat to sit down, An Le began to listen to the book with his head propped up.

The storyteller said: "The so-called Jiangnan Four Ghosts—"

Anle blinked.

"The sword ghost is the most elusive one. I don't know how many people's blood has been stained with a black knife. This is well known, but does anyone know that this person also has a knife that is not commonly used?"

The storyteller paused deliberately.

An Le heard the dissatisfied mumbling of the person sitting next to her: "Say it quickly."

An Le raised his eyes, smiled and said to the storyteller, "Is it a demon sword called 'Munzheng'?"

The storyteller was taken aback, apparently not expecting someone to answer, "... Exactly, it is a demon sword from a different place, although I have never seen this person use it, but it is said to be an evil sword that can change one's life against the heavens. "

The storyteller paused, took a sip of tea, and continued: "Next is a ghost whose whereabouts are also a mystery. Weird, and the prescriptions he prescribed were weird, so they called him a ghost doctor. As one of the four ghosts, he also has a strange temperament. "

At this time, a young man stood up and said loudly: "Can you tell me about chess ghosts?"

The storyteller said with a smile: "Then let's talk about this chess ghost. Speaking of this chess ghost is also weird. The chess ghosts that I have heard of playing in the south of the Yangtze River are extremely chic. They have nothing to do all day long, and they just like to find someone to play chess, and there has never been anyone. I have defeated him. I am also fortunate to have seen the chess records played by this person. The chess style is also very free and easy, but there are many traps everywhere.

However, the chess records I see now have changed slightly. Compared with the previous free and easy moves, the chess ghosts now play a lot more cautiously. Although they still play unexpected moves, they are not so unpredictable. . "

The young man sneered and said, "But the chess ghost is old and his chess power is weak?"

The storyteller shook his head and said: "No, I think this person just changed his style of chess, but in fact this person is still invincible in chess, and I have never heard of him having a defeat."

The young man laughed, a little arrogantly, "I am much better at chess than that ghost! Last time I beat him!"

An Le frowned secretly.

The storyteller smiled and said: "Brother, don't talk nonsense. I really haven't heard of a chess ghost losing."

The young man said: "Then you will know if you come to Bibi? Whoever dares to come, I can beat him!"

An Le narrowed his eyes slightly, and stood up slowly, "Okay, let's compare."

The young man glanced at him, "You? That's fine, bring me a chess board."

The storyteller smiled and shook his head, and ordered someone to bring a chessboard.

The young man sat down again, and all the people at this table dispersed, leaving a seat for An Le.

"Boy, how many children do you want me to give you?" the young man said.

An Le sat down opposite him.

"No need. Just try your best, brother."

The young man snorted contemptuously.

The chessboard was brought, and it was a bit worn out, but the sound of the chess pieces was unexpectedly crisp and pleasant.

The young man said: "Since you don't want to give up? Then you will stick to the black."

An Le blinked, and took down the chess jar.

The first move, An Le, was originally going to be on Tianyuan - this is the first move that the chess ghost used to in the early years, but An Le suddenly changed his mind, and played on Xiaomu in a well-regulated manner.

The young man's move was not fast, it seems that he thought it through comprehensively before making the move.

On the contrary, An Le moved quickly.

When the No.30 move was played, the young man taunted him and said, "Heh, you didn't think too comprehensively. This is obviously a bad move." He pointed to the piece that An Le played in the previous move.

An Le glanced, "Oh."

The young man snorted and landed with a "snap".

Then they played chess at a faster speed, and the youth almost didn't think about it before making moves.

An Le is still so unhurried.

"Do you still want to continue playing? You have already lost this game of chess, and I can beat you before it even ends!"

An Le raised her eyes and smiled, which was extremely beautiful.

"Then you can try."

People who watched chess shook their heads and said that Anle's chess was dead and would not be alive. They were about to leave when they heard the storyteller say "Hey".

Looking back, the young man was holding the chess piece and didn't move.

An Le smiled smugly.

The young man stared at the chess piece that he called a bad chess piece, but now it actually blocked the most wonderful place.

Looking up at An Le's handsome face, this person has already considered such a long-term situation when he made this dice?

The young man broke out in a cold sweat, he bit the bullet and dropped a shot.

An Le took a look and was happy.

Snapped.

An Le simply and neatly made a move next to the white chess piece.

In the next few moves, the young man played more and more slowly. Looking at it again, the situation of this chess game has changed.

The dragon of the black chess has been skillfully saved, and the power of the white chess has been suppressed to pieces, torn apart, the young man glanced over and over again - he lost.

An Le didn't say much, "You can't even beat me, have you ever beaten a chess ghost?"

The young man glared at him, "I did win!"

"where is it?"

"It's in Ding'an County!"

An Le's eyes changed, "Who?"

The young man gestured with his fingers, "At the end of a deserted alley to the left of the Dingchun Hall in the west, there is a man who calls himself a chess ghost!"

An Le rubbed his chin, raised his foot and prepared to leave.

The young man asked loudly, "Who are you? You are so good at chess, why haven't I seen you before?"

An Le blinked and said with a smile, "Amazing? It's just that the hero of the time has become famous."
