Coiling Dragon Lake is a collection of many rivers, which can be said to be the hub of water flow in a province. Even at night, merchant ships cruise like crucian carp, and the flow never stops.
Some boats were parked on the lake shore. Su Ziji glanced around and found a boat. He quickly negotiated the price to Linhua County, jumped on the boat, and asked him to take him to the boat to pick up people.
Even if there is an accident, Huafang is still the first choice for gatherings, because each floor can accommodate more than a dozen tables, and life is comfortable. More importantly, a Huafang is a hidden world, giving consumers a sense of security.
The boat pulled up and climbed up the side of the boat. Because the people on the boat were the organizers of the chess tournament, they all knew Su Ziji. As soon as they got on board, they heard the message.
"Ye Buhui is still playing chess?"
"Yes!" The person in question said with envy on his face, "Du, the Chess Saint is playing instructional chess with Miss Ye. It's a pity that I can't witness this scene, eh!"
"Du, the Chess Saint? In such a chess club, Chess Sage is here?" Su Ziji was surprised.
Du, the Chess Saint's name is Du Chenglin, who is good at playing chess. He is Chess Sage who lived in Qingwu. Although he doesn't care much about Chess Path and doesn't know much about chess games, he still knows this person's status among chess players.
Such a person would cause a sensation even if he appeared in Capital Tournament, let alone just a small house?
How can our chess players be so virtuous and capable as to attract such a person to guide us in chess?
"But it's a pity that no matter what the reason is, being able to play chess with Chess Sage is an honor for chess players. Bu Hui is afraid of missing this opportunity."
Su Ziji feels sorry for Ye Buhui, but now Uncle Ye is critically ill. If Ye Buhui doesn't go back immediately, he may not be able to see each other for the last time, which would be a bigger regret.
Su Ziji walked in a hurry through the corridor. He hoped that when he passed by, the guided chess game had been played. In this case, it would not delay his immediate return, and Ye Buhui would not have any regrets.
When Keren arrived in the cabin, dozens of chess players or scholars gathered together like stars holding the moon, and there were also pretty maids wearing embroidered skirts with a ruffled skirt, which seemed to have been carefully selected.
Su Ziji When I looked inside, I saw only one chess piece in the middle. The guided chess piece had just been played in the middle, which was the highlight.
Several people were standing around, including those on the chess side, who were obsessed with watching a man and a woman playing chess.
The man is in his forties, tall and thin, with a handsome appearance. He wears a green shirt and a short beard. He looks a bit familiar. He seems to have seen him in the hotel.
The girl sat upright, holding her breath and concentrating. She was still calm, but it could be seen from the beads of sweat on her forehead that she was at a disadvantage.
But being able to play against Chess Sage for so long and still barely maintain her own position. Although coaching chess itself is to guide the opponent, it also proves that the girl has good talent and strength.
Many chess watchers changed their positions with the girl to speculate, and found themselves sitting in the girl's position. They were afraid that they had gone astray in the first few moves.
As expected of Chess Sage!
Worthy of being the winner of this competition!
"Sir, we are playing chess in front of you, you can't go any further." Seeing Su Ziji squeeze out of the crowd and go to the middle, someone stopped him politely.
"Sorry, the chess player is someone I know." Seeing that the person who stopped him was a follower and not someone he had met on the boat, Su Ziji guessed that it was the person Chess Sage brought, so he explained apologetically and raised his voice slightly.
"Her father is seriously ill. Someone brought a letter and asked us to go back quickly..."
This was not only heard by the person who was blocking him, but also by the two people who were playing chess and looked over.
"Su Ziji, something happened to my father?" Ye Buhui was thinking hard. After hearing this, the chess piece in his hand fell on the chessboard with a clatter, and he stood up. The instruction chess piece he was playing in the middle of the game suddenly fell apart.
Ye Buhui How can you care about playing chess at this time?
"Hey!" Du Chenglin, who was sitting opposite, couldn't help but sigh.
"There is no chess game. It's fate. Little girl, since your father is seriously ill, you should go back quickly. I just hope that I can see you again at Capital Tournament."
Ye Buhui looked pale, smiled reluctantly, thanked him for the guidance, and ran out followed by Su Ziji.
"We have packed up our things. See if there is anything missing. The boat is waiting outside. We will rush back overnight." Su Ziji saw that she was in a state of confusion and advised her, "I will talk to you slowly when we get on the boat."
"Well!" Knowing that there was no time to ask further on the way, it was important to pack the luggage quickly. Ye Buhui didn't write ink, so he immediately went to the cabin, checked the luggage very neatly, and before a cup of tea, he said in a deep voice, "That's right, let the boatman sail the ship!"
"Hey!" Little Fox's cry suddenly came from behind. Little Fox, who was running to nowhere, actually caught up with him.
Ye Buhui looked back at it and looked hesitantly at Su Ziji.
Su Ziji sighed, "If it is willing to follow, just take it with you."
Ye Buhui bent down, Little Fox jumped into her arms with great intelligence, and the two ordered the boat to sail.
This boat has a semi-covered cabin, which is barely sheltered from wind and rain. Compared with the boat Yu Family where we stayed when we came here, it is much worse.
But it is not easy to find a ship willing to take him back overnight. How can there be any choice?
"The boat is sailing," the boatman shouted. As the boat moved, Su Ziji sat silently and looked at Ye Buhui.
At this time, Ye Buhui's body was trembling slightly, and he held Little Fox tightly, as if he was absorbing the warmth. Su Ziji couldn't help but sigh, and said slowly, "Don't be afraid, Uncle Ye's illness will definitely not be a big deal. Take good care of yourself and you will be fine."
Ye Buhui trembled and raised her head. In an instant, Su Ziji saw her lips trembling, her face extremely pale, and her eyes filled with hope. This look made Su Ziji unable to utter any words of comfort.
A child wants to be raised but his relatives are not there, a tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, life is so difficult.
Fucheng·Inn
Several private soldiers were patrolling the narrow and low inn, their spurs and sabers clanking, and they looked murderous.
Fang Zhen was looking at the file, frowning slightly.
"Little Marquis, Prefectural Examination who participated in this province, and Examination Student who are in this age group, are all here, a total of eleven people." Gao Yaochen reported in a low voice, "Also, Su Ziji, who you are particularly concerned about, took a boat out of the city and went home last night."
"Oh, so fast, he left on the same day before the list was released?" Fang Zhen scanned the list, and the first one was Su Ziji. He was a little suspicious. "Are you trying to avoid it?"
"It's not impossible, Mr. Marquis, do you want to intercept it?" Gao Yaochen asked immediately.
"There's no rush." Fang Zhen thought for a moment and said, "Imperial Examinations's message hasn't come out yet?"
"We have sent someone to enter the examination hall with Royal Command Token. If there is any news, we will send it to you immediately." The examination room is an important place of the imperial court, and only with this certificate can you enter and exit.
Just as he said that, a person ran over and knelt down on one knee as soon as he entered the door and reported, "Information from the examination center, the second trial has passed, Su Ziji has been initially determined to be fourth."
"Okay, okay!" Fang Zhen smiled and nodded with his fan, "It's better than I thought. If I didn't hit Cultivated Talent, it would be difficult for me to operate."
"Since you have won and you are still fourth, you immediately give me an order - let this person be Examination Topper."
