I Just Won’t Play by the Book
Chapter 229: Probation
Walking on the road leading to the Blue Heart Hall in the middle of the night, Jiang Beiran raised his head and looked 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 such a long time, Jiang Beiran suddenly began to miss the neon night scene of the once modern city, where the long streets seemed to be like fire and the day, without the stars but the clouds.
I walked into Lan Xinxuan with emotion all the way, and when it was a child now, there were only a few tables in the chess hall that were 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 to not delay their morning exercises tomorrow.
In the corner, Mo Xia held an old chess book in his left hand, and dropped a piece on the board with his right hand from time to time.
"clatter."
Mo Xia, who realized that he hadn't made a move, suddenly raised his head and said in surprise, "Brother!"
"Come out with me."
"Yes!" Mo Xia blew out the candle immediately after speaking, and followed Jiang Beiran with the chessboard.
Bringing Moxia 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 guest to make tea. Are you used to drinking Cuiluo tea?"
"I like it very much, thank you brother."
Soaking 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 unfortunately, he was very busy afterwards. I haven't used it much now.
"Use this board."
When Moxia heard that he put away his chessboard, he nodded and said yes.
Needless to say Jiang Beiran, Mo Xia consciously took 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 hard in surprise.
‘It’s really fast progress. ’
Compared with the last time when he was hiding in Yuezong, Mo Xia's chess skill was not a little better.
"clatter."
Putting a sunspot on the [forbidden] position, Jiang Beiran said: "Did you win 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."
"Am 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."
Lowering his head again, thinking for a long time, Moxia picked up a white piece and landed on the [Jane] position on the chessboard.
'Oh? "Jiang Beiran raised his eyebrows in surprise," Didn't you even jump in such a tempting trap? ’
Nodded affirmatively, Jiang Beiran took out another sunspot and fell down.
With a sound of "Da!", this son seemed to fall on Mo Xia's heart. He just rejoiced that he escaped the offensive trap set by the trap, but found that he was upset because he only thought about how to avoid it. The previous situation.
‘No...It’s not just me. Brother’s own layout has also been disrupted. I still have a chance! Mo Xia said, suddenly grabbed a white child and landed on the thirteenth to the seventeenth, [climb]!
"Interesting...really interesting."
Seeing Mo Xia not only didn't defend carefully, but wanted to take advantage of the situation to counterattack, Jiang Beiran suddenly felt very happy.
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 skill gets higher and higher, the overly invincible loneliness gradually makes Jiang Beiran less enthusiastic about Go. After all, the master must have two to be interesting, otherwise the 100 level bullying the 1 trumpet is really no joy. At all.
And at the moment when Mo Xia fell, 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 had been fighting until the ugly three quarters before it ended with Moxia surrendering.
While Moxia was cleaning up the chessboard, Jiang Beiran drank a tea ceremony: "Every three days in the future, you will come here to find me to play chess. Of course, you don't have to wait if I'm not here."
Mo Xia, who was clearing his moves, 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 mind?"
"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-order profound practitioner, and Lan Xintang's rule was that within two years of entry, as long as he didn't stay in Qi training, he would not be expelled.
A little embarrassed lowered his head, Moxia 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 can’t be lowered. Let’s do this, isn’t our hall going to compete with Shui Jingtang once a month, you How about I play two more games with you every time you raise a rank?"
After blinking his eyes twice, Mo Xia nodded fiercely after confirming that he had heard it correctly, "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 said while looking at the cleaned chessboard.
"Yes!"
The reason Jiang Beiran suddenly had this idea was because Mo Xia looked like that kind of very useful tool man, and secondly he could play Go so well, his brain would definitely not be dumb, unless Qinghuan Such a wonderful work, otherwise it shouldn't be too difficult to practice the exercises.
Coupled with the fact that he has to deal with more and more problems nowadays, the little brother is really not enough. It is rare to find a good one, so it doesn't hurt to try it.
The two went down like this until dawn, thinking that they would go to see the patriarchs later, Jiang Beiran covered the chess piece 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."
Picking up his chessboard, Mo Xia was about to leave when he heard the senior brother shout.
"Wait a minute."
"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.
"Ah!?" Mo Xia stunned for a moment and waved his hand quickly: "Reactive merits will not be paid, 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, but he was very energetic."
"Well, this is the function of this Yinglong chessboard. In the future, you will have to both play chess and practice exercises. This chessboard should be able to help you a lot."
"but……"
"Stop it, a good saddle with a BMW, take it, you played well in the last few games, keep working hard, let me enjoy some of these interesting games."
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 cabin.
The moment he closed the door, Mo Xia held Yinglong's chessboard for several times, thinking that he would be able to play against his senior every three days, and he had the opportunity to play more, he couldn't be so excited.
"hiss!"
In the excitement, Mo Xia suddenly felt horrified, 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.
Si Shi.
Jiang Beiran rode a carriage to Cangtao City. As the largest city in Lulin County, the prosperity of Cangtao City can rank top even in Fengzhou.
However, the prosperity is limited to this world. For Jiang Beiran, who has lived in the 21st century metropolis, this Cangtao City can be said to be dirty and messy.
Muddy roads, people, 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 so pungent before. Up.
The road is full of **** and waste. At first glance, it is not a big problem to say that this is a **** mountain.
Jiang Beiran has also been surprised 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 dirty and messy, at least not full of manure.
But no matter what era, there is no shortage of "savvy" people. These dung-diggers often deliberately fail to clean up the dung and garbage in time for the sky-high price. After it piles up like a mountain, the unbearable citizens have to pinch their noses and agree to do it. Various demanding requirements of feces workers.
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.
A hundred steps back, even if there is an Environmental Protection Agency, there are still places to throw garbage everywhere in the 21st century, not to mention here.
‘Alright, soon, there will be cement roads soon. ’
Putting down the car curtain, Jiang Beiran imagined the city 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: "The grassroots welcomes Your Majesty, and long live the emperor."
If you change to the previous emperor, this middle-aged man will not say kneeling down, and he will save you face if he doesn't cast his eyes.
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 Bei is different. This is not only the emperor, but also a disciple of the Guixin Sect. Even Master Bai Shan has specially ordered that he must be received properly. If there is a slight error, he will be exiled with instructions from the whole family.
Under this order, the middle-aged man was naturally frightened, and showed a hundred and twenty points of enthusiasm to receive the new emperor of the Sheng Kingdom.
"Be flat, is the reception room ready?" Jiang Beiran asked.
"Ready, as you ordered, the highest standards."
"Okay, take me to see."
"Zunzhi, please here."
Under the leadership of the middle-aged man, Jiang Beiran came to a living room with glass cups, all kinds of goldware, porcelain, and dental carvings, which were magnificent.
"Nicely furnished."
"Praise the emperor Xie." 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 sharp contrast with the streets outside.
"Go out, I'll 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 will wait 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 Qi Zou ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ Wang's house is also here, the villain has arranged them to wait in the West Hall."
With a "creak", the door of the wing room was opened, and Jiang Beiran came out and asked, "Is it almost there?"
The middle-aged butler bent over and replied: "Return to your Majesty, only the Liu family and the Li family are missing, and all the other families are here."
"I'll entertain you all."
"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 were two women with completely different temperaments, but both were extremely beautiful. A middle-aged housekeeper who came out felt that even the first beauty in Cangtao City, Jitao, could not be compared.
But he didn't dare to ask more, or even to look at it, and quickly lowered his head and said: "The little man will continue to entertain the distinguished guests."
"Well, go ahead." Jiang Beiran nodded.
"Say okay first, I won't serve those people tea or water!" Mu Yao, who had just been picked up by Jiang Beiran from the palace, raised her head and said when the middle-aged butler left.
After listening, Jiang Beiran turned his head and glanced at her.
Seeing Jiang Beiran's eyes, Mu Yao immediately curled her neck and said: "Those people will oppress the people...I don't..."
Halfway through 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 thought that if he picked up a big money later, he would bring a beautiful maid, but he didn't have one, wouldn't he lose in the aura?
That's why I flew back to bring these two over. After all, in terms of beauty, these two are still good at fighting.
