Chapter 6 The Book of the Heavens
"So now, are you willing to bet with me?"
Li Xiu laid another piece on the chessboard, and said softly like the cold wind passing by.
"Why don't you gamble? People always have to take advantage of the favors of Zifei in their young casinos. I, Chen Zhimo, have returned it."
He smiled at the sky, his blue shirt flying, and he was no longer elegant, but instead looked like a madman, with his long hair like ink whirling along the night breeze.
This time no one spoke again. All the disciples of the academy sat cross-legged on the ground, tilted their heads to look at the light curtain in the sky, and the chess pieces gradually gathering on the chessboard.
The six people who followed Mr. Chen to the city gate earlier today were already standing under a plum tree at some point, watching the chess game with different expressions.
There were three people who didn't care about the daytime affairs and even watched the game with excitement.
You Yiren had a cold face. She had been used to the star-studded moon since she was a niche. The reason why she provoked Li Xiu in front of the city gate was because she was not used to it.
I am not used to such occasions, but not centered on her. I am not used to being younger generations who are obviously unable to speak up but Li Xiu can control the general trend.
I am not used to the look of Mr. Chen looking at that boy when he always treats him well.
What she couldn't accept the most was that Li Xiu didn't even look at her.
What people cannot accept most is the neglect of themselves by others.
Li Xiu had not practiced yet, and it seemed that everyone knew that this was known, and the first step of the young man taking off the carriage could be seen.
This is an ordinary person and is very ill.
But it was at this moment that ordinary people stood at the place where the young generation of the Tang Dynasty gathered together to play a game of chess with the best people among them.
And he was tit-for-tat, and no one was willing to take a step back.
People always say that the beginning is a hundred steps.
Li Xiu was undoubtedly walking more steadily in these hundred steps, after all, he took the lead.
But you can't just look at the front of you when playing chess. Chen Zhimo, the middle game, pressed step by step with both the beginning and the end. When he was about to rise, he stood up and shouted happily.
It was the first time that Li Xiu frowned and breathed rapidly.
The bearded teacher's eyes were shining, and at some point a booklet appeared in his hand, recording every step of the two, muttering silently, and his face was full of intoxication.
The disciples of the academy even held their breath and didn't dare to let out.
If nothing unexpected happens, this game of chess tonight will become the most widely circulated chess score in the entire Tang Dynasty.
This game of chess will even be recorded in the Tang Book.
Chen Zhimo was extremely good at chess. He defeated the National Master a year ago and became the best chess player in the entire Tang Dynasty.
As we all know, the bad sentence he said before was completely self-worthy.
It is precisely because of this that they despised Li Xiu for a long time.
But who would have thought that Prince Chenliu could really play chess with Chen Zhimo?
Not to mention winning or losing, just reaching this point, no one can compare to the Tang Dynasty.
The board is so big, and the game will always end when it is exciting.
The two sat upright one after another, and a flush appeared on Li Xiu's pale face.
Although I cannot practice, this game is a pleasure.
The same is true for Chen Zhimo, looking at Li Xiu with his eyes lit up. When the chess is at the end, they know who loses and who wins.
The beard teaches the number of chess pieces one by one.
My fingers were trembling slightly when I was excited.
Anyone who teaches in academy loves chess.
He even claimed to love chess as his life.
If you can see such a game in your lifetime, it is like drinking nectar and immortal dew, which is comparable to breaking the realm.
After a long time, the bearded teacher stood up, straightened his body, and shouted in the expectant eyes of all the disciples of the academy: "The prince Li Xiu won half a piece of black chess."
The disciples of the academy took a few steps forward after hearing this, widened their eyes and seemed to be a little unbelievable. After a brief silence, they were replaced by a crazy uproar.
The eyes of Li Xiu were unconsciously filled with respect when they looked at him again.
It is a great thing to be able to beat Chen Zhimo in the chess field.
"I lost."
Chen Zhimo smiled very freely and did not care about his winning or losing.
"If you hold the black man first, I will lose."
Li Xiudao.
"But how the process is not important, right? The result is the importance."
Chen Zhimo shook his head, reached out and wiped his clothes casually, completely no longer as polite as when he first met.
"I put the book of heaven under the stone by the river, and I will pick it up."
After he finished speaking, a student of the academy couldn't help but shout at this.
"Senior brother, what you are talking about is where you often fish by the river?"
Chen Zhimo glanced at the crowd and nodded.
"Yes, how?"
The student's face turned red, and the rest of the people saw that he looked weird and couldn't help but ask for inquiries.
When many people stared at him, the man lowered his head embarrassedly and said, "Last time I accompanied Senior Brother Chen to fish, he said that his fishing rod was uncomfortable, because the stone below must be too short. At that time, I saw him take something from his arms and put it on the stone. Today I realized that it was the Book of Heavens."
After the man finished speaking, the disciples of the academy looked at Chen Zhimo in surprise, stunned.
The academy teachers were even more gloomy and their faces were pounding.
He actually used the Book of Heaven to cushion the stones? Just because he was uncomfortable when he caught fish?
"Does Your Highness the Crown Prince read the Book of Heavens today?"
A teacher asked Li Xiu.
"I will come back in ten days, and it will not be too late to see it again."
Li Xiu bowed to the teacher and replied.
The teacher nodded: "Since that's the case, there are still some private matters to be dealt with today, so I won't leave your highness. Ten days later, the prince will come, and the academy will definitely present the book of heaven."
Li Xiu nodded, turned around and disappeared into the night. Old Qiao was still following behind him quietly like a shadow, without saying a word from beginning to end.
He never worried about whether the academy would go back on his word.
The academies are the cleanest place in the world.
If you lose, you lose. Since no one in the academy objected when Chen Zhimo made a bet, it proved that they were ready.
Li Xiu left, You Yiren turned around and left under the plum tree with a cold face.
Many academy disciples hurriedly apologized to the teachers and trotted and did what they should do.
Who teaches sleep, practice, and class?
Chen Zhimo looked at the disciple who had previously revealed his truth.
"Little thing, you dare to betray me."
The student shrank his head, turned around and ran away, and simply came to a loss of sight.
Chen Zhimo wanted to chase him, but was blocked by several teachers.
"Take out the book of heaven, and then go to the reward and punishment courtyard to kneel down until the crown prince's palace to pick up the book."
Chen Zhimo also shrank his neck and did not dare to resist. He drooped his body like an eggplant made from frost and moved towards the river step by step.
Walk slowly, and you will naturally have less time to kneel.
If I walk for seven or eight days, wouldn’t I have to kneel down?
Chen Zhimo's eyes rolled, thinking so.
"Go ahead of me."
