After Li Zhiyun came back from Guitang Villa, he had a good sleep and had a sweet dream. After breakfast, he was practicing calligraphy in his room when Wei Xiaobao came in and said to him: "Brother Li, can you play a game of chess?"

"

Okay! He was also tired from writing and just wanted to relax. So he put a chessboard on the table and the two sat opposite each other.

Li Zhiyun asked Wei Xiaobao to go first with the white piece. When it was his turn, he placed the black piece on a corner.

Wei Xiaobao glanced at him in surprise, but said nothing. In the next three moves, Li Zhiyun placed the chess pieces on the four corners.

Wei Xiaobao couldn't help but said: "Brother Li, are you going to make me the fourth son?" Li Zhiyun smiled and said, "Let's see how it ends?"

Before the Tang Dynasty, Go was an entertainment for the court and upper-level bureaucrats, and few people participated. Starting from the Song Dynasty, the theory of Go has developed greatly. By the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Go gradually became a folk activity, and many schools, theories and

Practice has greatly improved. In modern times, the skills of chess players are unmatched by ancient chess players.

In his previous life, Li Zhiyun studied Go in college. Later, when he started working, whenever his company held a Go competition, he would basically win the championship.

The two of them had played 156 moves, and Wei Xiaobao was clearly at a disadvantage, so he had no choice but to admit defeat. He admired: "I didn't expect that Brother Li's chess skills are so good that he can compete with national players."

The two stood up and stretched their bodies. Wei Xiaobao said, "Brother Li, is it possible that you have feelings for Miss Liu?"

"What do you think?"

"Brother Li has good taste." Wei Xiaobao said, "Miss Liu is still a lady, beautiful in appearance, intelligent, virtuous, and knowledgeable. There are not many women in Chang'an City who can compare with her, and many young men from high-ranking families admire and pursue her.

Only a handsome and handsome young man like Brother Li, who has a prominent family background, outstanding talents, and elegant temperament can match him..."

Wow! The level of flattery of the ancients was not low! This flattery made Li Zhiyun feel soft and ecstatic all over his body, not to mention how comfortable he felt!

It's disrespectful to come back and not reciprocate! When Wei Xiaobao praised him like this, he also had to praise the other person a few times, right? So, he said solemnly: "Brother Wei, you are still very discerning and can recognize people with great eyes. You know that I, Li Zhiyun, am the best."

, different!..."

In the backyard of Guitang Villa, Liu Yinglian was sitting in the pavilion reading, and two maids were waiting on her. Liu Hong came over with a piece of paper in his hand, sat down opposite, put the paper on the stone table and said: "This is what he did for

Did you write it?"

Liu Yinglian blushed and hurriedly changed the subject: "What does father think of this poem?"

"The poem is quite good... Mr. Li seems to have a soft spot for you. Li Yuan is about to attack Chang'an City. If..."

"Father!" Liu Yinglian interrupted, "I am two years older than him."

Liu Hong shook his head and said: "No, Mr. Li is young and mature, and he is knowledgeable beyond his actual age... The world of the Sui Dynasty is about to end. If Li Yuan ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor, he will be a prince. If you become

Once I become the queen, the glory and wealth of our Liu family will be guaranteed. It's a pity that I don't have any heirs yet..."

"Father, isn't my aunt already pregnant? Why should you worry?"

"Who knows if it's a boy or a girl?" Liu Hong said with a bitter face, "No, I have to go to the Buddhist hall to pray to God." After that, he got up and left in a hurry...

The next day, Li Zhiyun was practicing calligraphy in his room. Wei Yijie hurried in and said in a panic: "Master Li, something bad has happened! You have been reported, and the army is coming to arrest you!"

When Li Zhiyun heard this, he was startled. He quickly threw away his brush, stood up and asked, "Master Wei, what's going on?"

Wei Yijie took a few breaths and said: "The officers and soldiers sent by Yin Shishi are already halfway there. I have just received the news and will come back to inform you quickly. You have to get out of here quickly!"

"Leave? Then where should I go?" Li Zhiyun was in a dilemma. He wanted to go find Liu Yinglian, but this idea was rejected by him in a flash: Guitang Villa is only two or three miles away from here, and the army will find him soon.

.Besides, he can’t implicate Miss Liu.

"Go find your third sister."

"My third sister?"

"Yes, that is Mrs. Chai Shao," Wei Yijie said. "She has organized a team in her hometown, with more than 10,000 people, known as the 'Women's Army'. They have occupied the county seat of Huxian County. Go to Huxian County quickly!

"

Wow!! Li Zhiyun was dumbfounded: He has such a powerful sister??!!

"I've prepared the carriage, let's go quickly!" Wei Yijie said and pulled him out of the room. The two hurriedly walked out of the villa and saw a carriage parked in front of the door.

Li Zhiyun got on the carriage, and before he could wave goodbye to Wei Yijie, the coachman flicked his whip and the carriage hurried away...

More than an hour later, the carriage arrived at the county seat of Hu County. The driver left Li Zhiyun at the city gate, turned around and went back.

He and Liu Yinglian came to the county seat of Huxian County last time. When they came back this time, they found that it had changed a lot. There were more than a dozen gatekeepers in front of the city gate, all dressed as civilians, both men and women. They wore red headscarves and held

There were swords and spears, and a red flag was planted on the battlement.

Wow! The "Red Detachment of Women"?! If it weren't for the fact that these people were all wearing ancient costumes, Li Zhiyun would have thought he had traveled to modern times again.

When Li Zhiyun walked up to him, a rebel asked, "Hey, what are you doing?"

"Go into the city and find my third sister."

"Looking for your third sister? Who is your third sister?"

"She is your leader... no, your leader!" Li Zhiyun said proudly.

"Mrs. Chai?" The man looked him up and down, "Really or not?" At this time, a rebel next to him interjected: "Regardless of whether it is true or not, he is still a child. He doesn't look like a spy from the government and army. Let him in."

Bar!"

So, the man waved his hand and said: "Go in! Go in!"

Li Zhiyun didn't even say thank you, he walked into the county town with his head held high and his chest held high.

He didn't go far when he noticed that the people next to him suddenly started running. Several children ran and shouted: "Let's go to see the beheading!..."

Whose head was to be chopped off? Li Zhiyun was curious and started running with everyone. In front of him was the East Market, and there were many people crowded around an open space, all watching the fun.

Li Zhiyun got in through the crowd and saw a wooden platform in the middle of the crowd, about a foot high, with five or six people standing on it. One of the prisoners was tied up with five flowers, and next to him stood a man with a red scarf on his head.

, the swordsman with his bare chest and belly, holding a ghost-headed sword.

Li Zhiyun took a closer look at the prisoner and was shocked: Isn't this Fang Xuanling?

Someone knocked Fang Xuanling down and pressed his head on a log pile. The executioner raised the ghost-headed sword and was about to chop it down...

"Stop!" Li Zhiyun rushed out desperately and ran up the wooden platform in a few sprints. The executioner was stunned for a moment, but the knife did not strike. Li Zhiyun ran forward and pushed him away, shouting: "You can't chop his head off!

"

At this time, a man who looked like a leader came over. This man was dressed as a farmer, dark and sturdy, with a large knife on his waist. There was a terrifying scar on his face, which extended from his forehead to the corner of his right eye. It was obviously a knife attack.

.

Scarface glared with a pair of bull's eyes and said: "What are you causing trouble? What do you do?"

"I am the younger brother of your leader. My name is Li Zhiyun." He raised his head proudly.

"Bullshit! What kind of leader's brother? I think you look like a spy of the army!" Scarface shouted, "Tie me up and chop them together!"

Two men came up to tie him up. At this time, someone in the audience shouted: "You can't tie him up, he is the fifth young master!" Li Zhiyun turned around and saw a man of fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a coarse flowered coat.
