Chapter 9 Don’t you feel that you are underestimating your talents?
After Zeng Qingfeng left the pharmacy, he walked to another destination.
Northwest of Chang'an City, this area is remote and is where many ordinary people in the city live.
Under a big tree in a small square, several old men were playing chess.
Zeng Qingfeng walked up to a few people, looked at them for a while, and then pointed at the chessboard.
Such an action certainly aroused dissatisfaction among several old men, who all criticized him.
The so-called true gentleman watches chess without speaking!
This guy has no eyesight!
Zeng Qingfeng just smiled, looked at an old man with a white beard and said:
"How about this, let's play the next game. If I lose, I can give you a thousand taels of gold. If you lose, I want something from you. How about that?"
The white-bearded old man didn't have a good impression of Zeng Qingfeng, and he didn't think he would lose. When he heard his bet, he said cheerfully:
"Okay, I'll make a bet with you! I want to see what qualifications you have to give us advice!"
The reason why I don't doubt whether Zeng Qingfeng can afford one thousand taels of gold is because his clothes look like he is rich or expensive.
"bring it on!"
Zeng Qingfeng was amused. The old man in front of him was named Chang Rongsheng, and his chess skills were very good.
For twenty years, he had to play chess with this old guy every day.
From the beginning he had no power to fight back, then there were constant exchanges, and then Chang Rongsheng had no power to fight back.
It can be said that Zeng Qingfeng's chess skills were largely trained by the old man in front of him.
And this old man's identity is also interesting, and he might be able to use it then.
The purpose of him looking for Chang Rongsheng today was just to get something from him - the Ice Arrow Grass.
The chess game started soon, and Zeng Qingfeng said very confidently:
"Mr. Chang, you go first!"
"Hmph, you are very confident!"
Chang Rongsheng was a little angry. When playing chess here, he always let others take the lead, and some people even gave up a few pieces.
But Zeng Qingfeng let him take the lead as soon as he came, which seemed to him a bit arrogant.
"Hey, Mr. Chang, don't be embarrassed. If it doesn't work out, I'll give you three more sons."
"That's unreasonable!"
Chang Rong was so angry that his beard flew up. He gritted his teeth and said:
"Okay, I'll make the first move!"
After he finished speaking, he quickly dropped the ball.
Zeng Qingfeng followed without hesitation, and the two of them soon started going back and forth.
The people around wanted to see when Zeng Qingfeng would lose, but their faces became surprised when they saw it.
Chang Rongsheng's speed became slower and slower, and cold sweat gradually broke out on his forehead.
The onlookers also saw that Zeng Qingfeng was not just bragging, he was really capable!
Chang Rongsheng's face gradually became serious, and he had to think for a long time about every step, but Zeng Qingfeng still didn't pause at all, and would follow him whenever he made a move.
After two sticks of incense, Chang Rongsheng said with a dry throat:
"I lost!"
The onlookers were not as good at chess as the two of them, and some people asked in confusion:
"Old Chang, you haven't finished playing yet? Why did you lose?"
"That's right, keep playing, this kid may not be able to beat you!"
"There's still a chance, right?"
"."
Chang Rongsheng's face turned red, and after a while he stood up and said to Zeng Qingfeng:
"Your chess skills are truly unique to me! I have always been arrogant and arrogant, thinking that my chess skills are invincible. I am really lucky to meet you today!"
"Mr. Chang deserves the award, I'm just lucky!"
Zeng Qingfeng said modestly, and then continued to ask:
"Mr. Chang, do you need to win two out of three games?"
"With the chess skills you have shown, the outcome will be the same ten times more!" Chang Rongsheng said bitterly, and then continued:
"Since I have admitted defeat, I will not default on my debt. What do you want from Chang?"
"Easy to say!"
Zeng Qingfeng moved his lips slightly and sent a message to Chang Rongsheng.
Chang Rongsheng's face changed when he heard this, and he quickly smiled bitterly and said:
"I didn't expect that your Excellency is not only superb in chess skills, but also has unfathomable strength. You also know that I have such a thing in me. That's all! Please come with me to my home and sit for a while!"
After he finished speaking, he walked out of the crowd. When the onlookers saw the two people leaving, they immediately looked at the unfinished chess game they were playing.
With their level, it is impossible to see where Chang Rongsheng lost and why he gave up so quickly.
Chang Rongsheng led Zeng Qingfeng to the door of a dilapidated small tile-roofed house, then turned around and said:
"Your Excellency is so young. Not only is your strength outstanding, but your chess skills are also the best in the world. You are like a dragon or a phoenix among men! What Chang cannot understand the most is that you actually know that I have Ice Arrow Grass on my body! May I ask what your identity is?"
"Mr. Chang, there is no need to panic. Your Excellency, Zeng Qingfeng, is currently the husband of the empress."
"What? Emperor?"
Chang Rongsheng's expression changed, and then he smiled bitterly and said:
"With a husband like you, the Empress, why worry about the Tang Dynasty not being prosperous? Emperor, wait a moment, I will get you the Ice Arrow Grass right now!"
After he finished speaking, he walked into the room and walked out after a while, holding a long box in his hand and passing it to Zeng Qingfeng, who immediately took the system package.
"Emperor, this is what you want! I originally invited you to my home because I wanted to continue asking for advice for a few games. But because you have a distinguished status, ordinary people don't dare to disturb you."
"What did Mr. Chang say? I'm here, why don't you treat me to a cup of tea? It's rare to meet someone who can play chess with me, why don't you continue to kill a few games while drinking with me!"
After hearing Zeng Qingfeng's words and looking at his sincere look, Chang Rongsheng said excitedly:
"If the emperor doesn't dislike it, the common people will of course be willing to sweep up the couch to welcome him!"
"What's the objection? I know, Lao Chang, that you have a jar of old wine that you have collected. Do you want to bring it out for me to satisfy my craving?"
Zeng Qingfeng laughed, and these words made Chang Rongsheng smile bitterly again:
"The Emperor knows things like a god. It seems that I don't have any secrets in front of you! Emperor, please come in and I will go dig out the old wine I have treasured!"
"Okay, Old Chang, you've spent a lot of money! There are no outsiders here, so don't call yourself a commoner. Just call me Mr. Zeng."
"Okay, then! Mr. Zeng, please come in. I'll come as soon as I can."
Zeng Qingfeng waved his hand and walked into the room.
He was familiar with Chang Rongsheng's house. He used to come there almost every day to practice his chess skills.
He repeated this every day before, making him develop a habit: no matter how good he was with a person, once he decided to change goals, he would use some special means to ask for any secrets.
This approach also allowed him to discover that many people who were good at pretending would confess how many times they wet the bed as children after being coerced, lured, and tortured by him.
After not staying in the house for long, Chang Rongsheng walked in holding a rustic wine jar.
Seeing Zeng Qingfeng sitting at the wooden table and pouring himself a cup of tea, Chang Rongsheng felt that this emperor really had no pretensions at all.
He put the wine on the table, then opened the seal with a 'pop' and said:
"The emperor is here today, and the common people are really flattered! The only thing that can be used is this jar of old wine. Let's have a drink with the emperor today!"
"Easy to say!"
Zeng Qingfeng nodded slightly, and after Chang Rongsheng took out two wine bowls and filled them, he smelled the aroma of wine and did not drink it in a hurry, but said very casually:
"Old Chang, don't you feel that you are underestimating your talents by staying here?"
Please recommend and collect. Whether you can sign the contract depends on your efforts.
