Chapter 364: Playing Chess
Chapter 364: Chess
Master Leyuan sat upright and said, "When I burned the incense this morning, I saw the fragrance mist like a lotus. I thought there was a distinguished guest visiting, so I prepared tea here to wait for the guests."
Fang Zilan didn't say anything, but just picked up the teacup and sipped it briefly. Mo Han, like her, sipped a sip of tea.
"Master's tea is really good." Fang Zilan slowly put down the teacup, "But..."
She didn't continue to say anything, and Master Leyuan smiled slightly, "Master Fang might as well say it."
"Although this tea is good, the picking season is wrong, and it is inevitable that it will be astringent." Fang Zilan said in a faint voice: "If you wait patiently for a few days, and get spring tea, then cook it like this by the master, it should be excellent."
"This tea was sent by Your Majesty." Master Leyuan still smiled, "I really didn't expect Your Majesty to be so anxious."
There was something in his words, and Fang Zilan's expression tightened, "What does Master mean?"
"It's just a chat, so Lord Fang doesn't have to be nervous." Master Leyuan smiled and said warmly: "I wonder why Lord Fang is here today?"
Fang Zilan said calmly: "Listen to the scriptures and calm down."
"Mr. Fang has something to do in his heart, and even if he listens to the sutra, he will be very difficult to calm down." Master Leyuan said: "But since Master Fang has visited Baiye Temple, I should relieve Master Fang's worries."
Fang Zilan raised her eyebrows, "I wonder how the master will relieve my worries?"
"Master Fang is a man who fights and fights, and is good at placing troops and formations. It is most suitable for talking about heart-to-heart talks with chess." Master Leyuan said with a polite manner: "Master Fang is willing to talk to me?"
"It's not that I don't want to." Fang Zilan looked puzzled, "It's just that I can't play chess, and I don't even know the rules."
"It's okay. Playing chess is like fighting between two armies, so Lord Fang can do it according to his heart." Master Leyuan stood up and took the chessboard box over.
Fang Zilan hesitated. After Master Leyuan set up the chessboard, he smiled and said, "Mr. Fang is so reckless that he seems to be facing a great enemy."
"Master's words are so serious." Fang Zilan took a chess box and put it at his hand, reached out to take out a chess piece, and held it tightly in his hand.
"Forget it, I won't make things difficult for Lord Fang." Master Leyuan looked at Mo Han and said, "If Lord Fang really doesn't want it, please ask Mr. Mo around you to help me."
"Help?" Fang Zilan was stunned and blurted out: "Is the master going to fight two?"
Master Leyuan nodded slightly, "It's not impossible."
Fang Zilan laughed silently, "Master may not know. My cousin has been studying chess since elementary school and dare not say he is proficient, but..."
She suddenly stopped halfway and said, "I am stuck in my heart regardless of the winner or lose. Since the master has spoken, then Mo Han, you can go with me."
After she said that, she put the chess box between the two of them. Mo Han responded and Master Leyuan said, "Please, please."
Fang Zilan left the first son without hesitation. Master Leyuan immediately made a move, and Mo Han picked up a son and placed it next to her.
Among the three, Fang Zilan made the fastest move, almost every time she did not think. After Mo Han and Master Yuan had any shortcomings, he would make up for it, so he was the slowest move.
As for Master Leyuan, although his first few moves were a little slower, he was slower and slower afterwards, maintaining his own rhythm, and was quite leisurely.
In less than an hour, the chessboard was filled with three people. Fang Zilan took a deep breath and was about to remove the lost chess piece, but was stopped by Master Leyuan.
Fang Zilan withdrew her hand and looked up, "Master, do you think the situation is anxious, don't you have to fight again?"
"One is the situation is indeed anxious. Two is the second..." Master Leyuan said, "I have already known the thoughts of Lord Fang and Mr. Mo, and I have no intention of fighting again."
"Oh?" A curiosity flashed in Fang Zilan's eyes, "Please give me advice."
"Mr. Fang has a good grasp of the overall situation. Mr. Mo is meticulous and focused on the details." Master Leyuan sighed: "You two cooperate properly, and I feel ashamed of your own."
"It is rare for the master to fight two with one." Fang Zilan apologized: "Mo Han and I use more to bully the few. Even if we win, we will win without any force."
"Mr. Fang's desire to win is a little more serious." Master Leyuan said without comment: "On the battlefield, chasing victory is the norm. However, if it is put to normal, there is no need to seek victory too much. People have no constant momentum, water has no constant shape, and eight victories and seven defeats are the best game."
Fang Zilan pondered for a moment before saying, "Thank you, Master, for your advice, I understand."
Master Leyuan smiled faintly, "Master Fang is a person with wisdom. He understands it at all, and I have nothing to say."
"Since that's the case, I won't disturb the master much." Fang Zilan bowed and left directly. Mo Han also bowed and left with her.
Master Leyuan lowered his eyes and looked at the black and white pieces crisscrossing on the chessboard, and seemed to fall a piece casually, and the situation had changed tremendously.
He murmured to himself: "Is this your plan to bring a new student into the game? But is this new student really in your control?"
Before he could finish his speech, he had already changed his position to the chess piece that had just fallen. Among the large chess pieces of the same color, a chess piece with a different color seemed particularly dazzling.
He breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the chessboard in front of him. There were too many variables. I was afraid that the result might not be as good as others wished.
Thinking of this, he turned to look at the door. It was obvious that Fang Zilan and Mo Han were no longer visible, and he still looked at him for a long time.
It was not until the little novice monk who was guarding the door walked in and bowed, that he withdrew his gaze, "Sir Fang and Mr. Mo Li Temple?"
"Not yet." Xiaoxiaomi replied: "They are going to the back mountain."
"Back Mountain..." Master Leyuan repeated these two words in a low voice, and then heard the little shami say: "Miluo's Prince Zhongzheng is also in the back mountain at this moment."
Master Murong Qing? Master Leyuan frowned slightly. Miluo is different from Dajing, and there are not many people worshipping Buddha. However, this prince Zhongzheng was unexpectedly pious. He always came to Baiye Temple to eat incense on the 15th day of the lunar month...
Miluo, Mu family, and Zhongzheng Wang Murong Xun...
Many thoughts surged into my heart, and Master Leyuan closed his eyes and felt like he was a different life.
It turns out that so long has passed.
He opened his eyes and groped through the sleeve of the robe to touch the scar on his arm, his face dark and unclear.
Finally, he said, "Crown Prince Zhongzheng has a noble status and can't make any mistakes. You can go to the back mountain to take a look."
The little shaman left, but before he could reach the back mountain, he heard Fang Zilan's voice, "These are all young men of aristocratic families, but they do not have the style of aristocratic families. If they bully people like this, would it be a shame to spread it?"
"Mr. Fang, Murong Qing is rude in his words. How can we be considered bullying others by virtue?" As soon as one of them said this, the others agreed, "Yes, in the capital of my capital, I am still so arrogant. Do you really think that there is no one in my capital?"
Master Leyuan from Baiye Temple spoke, and everyone who has heard of it said it was OK~
Fang Zilan: Master, I realized...
