Huaixing five years

It is said that "business women don't know the hatred of subjugation, and they still sing Houting flowers across the river".Therefore, in this chaotic world, no matter how the wars continue and the people are struggling to survive, they cannot stop the prosperity of Jiangnan.

Especially in the big capitals where there are many business travelers and the rich and powerful gather, there is extravagance and prosperity on the top, and the hustle and bustle of the city below.

And Shengle, the capital of Xi Kingdom, is one of them.

The four seasons here are warm and humid, and there are many flowers.

The ancient bluestone road in the shop is refreshing, and the clear water and floating flowers beside the road are poetic.There are Wu Nong's soft words in my ears, and the wine is overflowing from my lips.Wherever it passes, beauties, wine and beautiful scenery are so beautiful that people can't help admiring: Jiangnan's splendor is unparalleled in the world!

Such a treasured place of geomantic omen, visitors come from all directions, and the air is generated from all sides, so there is a constant flow of pedestrians in the city.

Today's market seems to be more popular than in the past, and there are a group of people on the side of the long street scrambling to watch.

However, I heard an old man's sonorous and powerful chanting accompanied by the sound of bamboo boards among the crowd: "Since ancient times, heroes have been born as young men. They have pointed out the country and the mountains. In a short time, they drove straight into the barbarian land and regained the emperor's hall in the Central Plains. What we want to talk about today is The former prime minister of Xiangguo in the north - Gu Yanxi, said that this lord is amazing, he is a real young hero in troubled times.

It is said that at the age of ten, he helped the King of Dongxiang defeat Zhongshan with treacherous tactics of war. At the age of 13, he fought against the Confucians in court, and carried out political reforms in Dongxiang with an iron fist.

At the age of 16, he was famous all over the world by sweeping the north in the first battle of Xiangqin. Later, the king of Dongxiang, Yancheng Tuogu, was ordered to bear the responsibility. In just two years, he led Dongxiang to pacify all the countries and unified the north. At that time, the name of "Military God" was famous among all countries. At that time, he was only eighteen years old and had become a myth.

In Xiangguo, he worshiped the prime minister and granted the title of first-class prince of Zhenguo. It is a pity that the sky is jealous of the talents, and he died young due to overwork at a young age. It is really regrettable .The king of Xiangyang in the north even lost his white hair overnight because of his blue hair, which was passed down as a peerless story of a deep friendship between the monarch and his ministers.

The preface has already stated that there are no gossips, and now I will tell you about the most exciting part of this "Military God"'s life, the Battle of Xiangqin, that year..."

Listening to the storyteller's eloquent narration, the crowd gradually gathered more and more, and the square inch was instantly surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside.

When it comes to the subtleties, there are endless applause.

At this time, a person clapped his hands in the crowd and interrupted: "This old man's speech is really vivid, as if people can see all kinds of things in the past with their own eyes. It's just a joke, and it's a little distorted."

At this time, everyone present turned their attention to the source of the sound, but saw a young man in blue clothes carrying a wooden box, holding a fan, standing with a smile on his face, and a pair of peach blossom eyes with a touch of glamorous color, sultry.

When the old storyteller saw someone messing with him, he immediately retorted loudly: "Young master said that the little old man is lying, is there any real evidence?" Although Gu Yanxi's life was short, it left many doubts. Looking at the world, almost no one can tell the reason. He naturally didn't believe that only a young man in his twenties could say one, two, three.

Hearing this, the spectators all around immediately cast their eyes on the blue-clothed youth, some teased and some hoped that some stretched their necks and waited for a good show.

The young man in blue snorted twice, put a folding fan on his lips and said mysteriously: "As far as I know, Gu Yanxi, the military god, is not actually dead. Huan." As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar in the audience, and the unbelievers booed and booed for more than half of the time.

Seeing this, the old storyteller who was abruptly interrupted immediately showed complacency, echoed everyone and sneered and said, "Young master thinks that what you said is too shocking and shocking to the world. If you only want to win others' attention, your goal has been achieved. The young master can retire after success."

Hearing the words, the young man in blue was neither angry nor annoyed, he just played with the folding fan in his hand and looked around while shaking his head and sighing: "Hey! Others laugh at me as crazy, and I laugh at others who can't see through it. How could a generation of military gods who ruled the world be so easily lost?" Returning to the West? What's more, if you don't die sooner or later, you will die when your great cause has become famous and rich, and you can see one or two of the hidden feelings in the vast history."

These words are very convincing. The so-called common people often have no position in viewing things, and public opinion is biased towards whoever says something reasonable.

As a result, the onlookers began to favor the young man in blue again, nodding their heads and saying that they agreed. The voices kept coming one after another, and the original attitude of suspicion and hostility turned into curiosity and inquiry. For a while, there were urging voices everywhere, waiting for the young man to explain in detail.

After all, people prefer to listen to palace secrets than historical romances.

Seeing that the situation is good, the young man in blue smiled casually, unfolded the folding fan in his hand with a slap, and said loudly: "The whole world knows that the military god is so magnificent that he looks like a banished immortal. If you are lucky enough to see him, you will be lucky in this life; The wisdom of the gods is astoundingly brilliant and tops the world. If you can be guided by it, you will surely become famous and have a bright future. In addition, countries are now vying for the king's supremacy. Whoever can give the whereabouts of the general god will be rewarded with gold and silver Tens of thousands."

"Unfortunately, by chance, I got a piece of information about the whereabouts of the God of War that was laid out by the God of War before he escaped from the world. Those who break this situation will know the whereabouts of the God of War. , can guarantee a lifetime of glory."

The old storyteller didn't give up yet, he heard the words and asked loudly: "If you have such a good thing, why don't you break the situation and find someone yourself, but let others bite the fat in your mouth?"

The young man in blue blinked a pair of peach blossom eyes, looked at the storyteller like an idiot, and said in surprise: "If I have the ability to 'break the situation and find someone', I will not give up this opportunity to eat alone." After speaking, he lamented: " The old man is really old."

The old storyteller was so choked by his words that he almost didn't come up. For the sake of his life, he wanted not to let this kid get angry, so he immediately cleaned up the stall and left. Can't he hide if he can't be provoked?

Seeing "success in smashing the field", the young man in blue put down the wooden box behind him, and slowly took out strangely shaped objects from it—first two wooden boards, after [-]% and [-]% off, one piece was folded into a wooden table and the other Soon it was dismantled into two low chairs, then a simple iron box, which contained a sheepskin chess board and a set of white jade chess pieces, and finally a large bag of gold and silver jewelry in an extremely thin gauze bag There is a dizzying golden glow in it.

When he was ready, he looked at everyone present with a smile on his eyes, his eyebrows and eyes curved, and he shook the folding fan in his hand like a cunning fox, and said loudly: "As the saying goes, there is no free lunch in the world, so I want to break this chess game." Those who return with treasure must pay a certain price, as the saying goes, there are no rules, so there are rules to break this game.”

The audience held their breath and waited for the young man to say the following. The busiest corner of the market just now was so quiet that only the sound of breathing could be clearly heard.

"If you don't know how to play, you will first play three games of chess. Anyone who breaks three games in a row will be qualified to crack the "Military God Chess Game". Draw [-]% of the money he got. But Xiaosheng said beforehand, if you want to play the first three games, you need to place a bet. The winner can choose to take part of the gold and silver on my table and give up continuing to break the game, or choose to continue breaking the game and give up the gold Silver. Of course, as long as you win three levels in a row, you will be given all the gold and silver on the table, and you will also be eligible to crack the 'Military God Chess Game'."

The young man in blue picked up the "gold and silver bag" on the table and weighed it. The dazzling light and the rattling sound of rubbing touched the hearts of everyone present. Live eagerly.

The end of his eyes glanced at the surrounding crowd, and when his gaze passed a plain figure, the arc of the blue-clothed youth's mouth slightly stretched inaudibly: "Everyone, please stay calm, there is one last rule I haven't said yet. "

As soon as this remark came out, there were voices of boredom everywhere, reprimands such as "you are so long-winded" and "endless" have come from several places.

The young man chuckled: "A villain first and a gentleman second. Some things are better explained. The last rule is: if you play three games, you win once if you break one game, and if you lose one game..." As he turned With the raised tone, everyone's hearts were lifted instantly, "Just leave one of the most important things to everyone."

As soon as the words fell, there were large and small outbursts on the field, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the words.

This good thing of "not losing money but winning money" can be found anywhere in the world.Therefore, more people couldn't bear to rush to participate first, lest they be half a point behind others, and the scene was so hot that it can be called a scene on the long street.

But they never thought that this pie that fell from the sky for no reason, how could it be so easy to catch it?

But the wine is strong and timid, and the money confuses the hearts of the world.Facing the white and golden gold and silver on the table, I am afraid that no one is willing to think deeply about it. The so-called death of man-made money can be bought in a pan of knives and oil, let alone a piece of pie for nothing?

So they all ignore the stakes - the most important thing.

If it is really your most important thing, it is naturally much more valuable than money.

Looking back at the chess game: In the first game, both the red and the black have generals and small soldiers. Although there are only a few pieces left, it is the joint where the heroes compete for life and death.This is exactly the endgame of a "separatist regime".At this time, the red side is obviously at a disadvantage due to the control of others, while the black side is pressing every step of the way to win.

Therefore, whoever can change this established situation and make the red side turn defeat into victory, whoever can win, and whoever can change the fate from now on.

At this time, a romantic scribe took the lead in the challenge. What he put down was a piece of jade pendant, which is extremely precious as a family heirloom from generation to generation.But at this moment, the young man in blue shook his head with a smile, and sighed softly: "Young master, you can't break the game, because your bet is not qualified, and it is not your most important thing."

The romantic scribe raised his eyebrows, and said with a sneer: "Could it be that you are just a pretending charlatan, seeing that I am not that vulgar mountain tiger, you dare not bet with me, for fear that I will break the chess game and win the gold and silver?"

The young man in blue still had his eyebrows crooked and his eyes crooked and full of smiles: "Sir, what you said is wrong. No one can break my game under my chin. Only in this way can he help me find the God of War. But since I have set the rules before How can I not keep my word?" He closed the folding fan with a snap, pointed at the jade pendant in the scribe's hand and said, "But it's really not your most important thing."

The Merry Scholar sneered: "Then what you say is the most important thing to me. If you say it right, I dare to suppress it."

What he asked was really tricky. If you ask a stranger what is the most important thing to him, how would that person know unless he is a roundworm in his stomach?

The young man in blue smiled deeper when he heard the words, and suddenly asked an irrelevant question: "Is the young master good at melody?"

The scribe was stunned, and said with a broken smile, "I am the number one musician in the Hou Ye's Mansion. The tone of the word, at this moment with the head raised and eyebrows raised, how can there be any self-effacing in that tone?

Everyone looked at the two with puzzled faces. Common people don't care if you understand the rhythm or not. They just feel that the two people's questions and answers seem to be gossiping. They are here to watch the fun and not to listen to the intellectual chat of.

At this time, there were busy people in the crowd who got impatient and yelled loudly: "Are you two finished? Bet if you want to bet, mother-in-law and mother, what are you doing with so much trouble?" As soon as the words came out, other people followed suit. Echoing and booing, the scene was noisy for a while.

"Then bet on the index finger of your right hand." The blue-clothed youth's voice was neither loud nor soft, with ups and downs, but everyone present could hear it, so the noise was quickly drowned in the ultimate silence.Everyone was tongue-tied, but the romantic scribe had a dull expression on his face.

"To gamble, or not to gamble?" asked the blue-clothed youth, shaking his fan.

Cold sweat dripped from the brow of the romantic scribe, he glanced at the other party, then scanned the crowd, and finally fixed his eyes on a game of chess, a row of gold and the wooden box with the four characters "Military God Chess Game" written on the table. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Gamble!"

Raising the knife and dropping the knife, in less than half a cup of tea, there was a pool of blood and a severed finger on the ground.

The young man in blue slashed cleanly and did not look like a weak young man. He let the blood splatter and stumps roll down, but the man still smiled with crooked eyebrows and eyes.

At this moment, looking at the romantic scribe again, clutching his bleeding index finger, he fell to the ground in pain.He didn't know whether it was caused by pain or despair, so he just fell to the ground and never got up again.

At this time, a familiar person immediately came over and carried him to a nearby hospital, but the blood on the index finger was dripping all over the street, which seemed shocking.

After witnessing such a tragic scene, others dare not do anything wrong, knowing that money in the world is hard to come by, and there is no such thing as a good thing in the world.Some people couldn't stand the scare and lost their interest all of a sudden, so most of the crowd dispersed, and the rest were still unwilling, or they were lucky about the wealth, or they always coveted the trace of the military god .

But after this incident, those who came up to challenge did not dare to gamble lightly, and presented their relatively important things truthfully, not daring to lie a little bit, so the next game was not as bloody as the first game, but it was still tragic— —Some people gamble on the land deeds of their own homes, some gamble on their public office badges, and some gamble on their wives and children.

In fact, how can you bet on your most important thing in this world? If it is your most important thing, who would really be willing to gamble on it?

People in the world don't understand this truth, but the chess player does, so he always only gambles with his family's wealth, not his own heart.However, he likes to watch other people gamble with their heart, love, life and death, wandering in it is a lot of fun, when did he get such a bad habit?

After several hours in a row, no one could break even the first round.

After dozens of rounds of battle, few people can retreat unscathed, and there is no one who breaks three rounds in a row.

The gold and silver on the table have not been reduced at all, and the wooden box of the "Military God Chess Game" has not been moved at all.

The young man in blue shook his head in disappointment, and when he saw the sun was setting, he prepared to pack up and go home.Only a group of gamblers who have already lost are left gnashing their teeth in place, but there is nothing they can do.

Suddenly, a person walked into the "casino" that had almost dispersed, and said calmly, "I can break this game."
