"Second brother, when did you come?" Qi Liang shouted when he saw Mr. Liu holding a snowball in his hand and rubbing it on his face in a pavilion. He wanted to watch it for free.

"Qi Liang?"
Young Master Liu paused for a moment and then walked over, looking at the warm stove in the pavilion and the Go game on the chessboard: "You are playing chess alone."
"Second brother, please sit down quickly, while the younger brother studies the chess records."
"Well, you're in a good mood. You're playing Go by the stove. It's a very leisurely day."
"The second brother was joking, and the younger brother was thinking about how to integrate the art of war into Go, but it has been more than a year since I had this idea and I still have no clue."
"The art of war? You have a strange idea. In that case, you can just play chess, why bother trying to figure it out with Go?"
"What is chess?" Qi Liang put down the chess record in his hand
"Chess is"
Young Master Liu was stunned. Qi Liang didn't know chess. It seemed that he had never seen anyone playing chess after being reborn for so long.
That's not right. Mr. Liu thought for a while. According to the memory of his previous life, chess is said to have been invented during the Warring States Period. Why is there no chess now?
After carefully recalling the matter about chess, Mr. Liu nodded with understanding. It is said that it was an item invented during the Warring States Period. The specific time cannot be tested, which means that it is not certain.
If you think about it carefully, the chess board has the words Chu, He and Han on it, which tells the story of the conflict between Chu and Han at the end of the Qin Dynasty. There seems to be no concept of Chu and Han during the Warring States Period.
It’s really hard to say when it will be released, and in addition, the splitting incident has already occurred in the history of this world, so it is natural that there will be no chess.
Young Master Liu threw away the snowball in his hand: "This is the chess piece."
"Second brother, what's going on with the slap marks on your face?"
Qi Liang was stunned when he saw the faint slap mark on Mr. Liu's left face and asked curiously.
"Don't mention it. It was all done by swatting mosquitoes. I didn't expect that I used too much force. It's okay. Don't worry about these details."
Young Master Liu pretended to be relaxed and said.
"Okay, it does hurt and itch after a mosquito bite, but second brother, you are too strong." As he spoke, Qi Liang was startled. He looked at the cotton clothes on his body, then at the stove beside him, and then turned his head.
Looking at the meager amount of snow on the eaves, I felt a bit at a loss: "Mosquitoes?"
"Yes, you also know that mosquitoes spend the winter hiding in corners, such as the cracks in the pavilion. You have a stove here, how hot it is. When mosquitoes feel the heat, they think summer has arrived.
, and then it flew out, just in time to suck my blood, so do you understand?"
"Is this so?" Although Qi Liang found it unbelievable, he still believed this absurd reason.
If he knew that mosquitoes only have a lifespan of a few months and that mosquitoes are born every year, he would definitely expose Young Master Liu's conspiracy. He can only be grateful that the ancients lacked knowledge.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Second brother will tell you what chess is. This is what chess is. Is there a carpenter in your house?"
"Carpenter? No, but there are other ways to make chess pieces. Brother, please wait a moment."
After Qi Liang finished speaking, he walked towards the front yard.
After Qi Liang left, Young Master Liu rubbed his face and took a breath: "You are not tall but you are quite strong. If you didn't step on my foot, how could I have removed it? It's really a shame to receive such a slap."
"Second brother, you've been waiting for a long time."
"Uncle!"
"Songshan."
"Brother, just tell Uncle Song what kind of chess pieces you want to make."
Young Master Liu could only explain to Song Shan the appearance of chess and the specifications of the chessboard. After his mouth felt dry, Song Shan finally understood what Young Master Liu meant.
After a cup of tea, there were several pieces of fine mahogany placed in the pavilion. Song Shan took out the long sword from his waist and waved it twice to test the feel, then nodded to the two of them, Liu Dashao.
"Master, uncle, please step back."
The two of them retreated three feet away, and Song Shan picked up a piece of redwood with the tip of his sword. The redwood immediately flew up and hovered in the air several times.
Song Shan stepped forward, and the sword in his hand flew rapidly at a speed that was difficult to discern with the naked eye.
The sword light flashed and sawdust flew, but only the foot of Songshan Mountain was as stable as a rock and remained motionless.
A moment later, Song Shan inserted the long sword into his waist with a backhand. Thirty-two chess pieces of the same size, round and smooth rolled down on the snow. They looked like they were waxed. A square chess board next to him was also impressive.
It is pleasing to the eye.
Pa Pa Pa Pa Young Master Liu clapped his hands without hesitation: "Good Kung Fu, really good Kung Fu."
"My uncle is laughing."
"Second brother, the ink is here, how to color it?"
"give it to me."
Young Master Liu sat on a stone bench covered with cotton cushions, holding the chess piece in his left hand and a tiny wolf hair in his right hand and began to draw.
After a lot of work, a brand new chess game was played. The pieces were laid out for Qi Liang. Young Master Liu rubbed his hands. It had been a long time since he had played chess.
"Qi Liang, I will teach you the chess formula below, you must remember it well."
Qi Liang looked excitedly at the strange chess pieces placed on the chessboard, and focused on Liu Dashao, waiting for him to explain the formula.
"The general does not leave the nine palaces, and the soldiers follow each other without leaving the official position. The elephants fly to the four corners of the square camp, and the horses charge forward with each step. The cannons must hit each other at intervals, and the chariots travel straight to the west and east. But the soldiers can only take one step, crossing the river.
Advance and retreat without a trace. Do you understand?"
Qi Liang looked at the arrangement on the chessboard and nodded in understanding.
Looking at Qi Liang's appearance, Young Master Liu knew that he only knew a little about it. He scratched his head and started making gestures with his fingers on the chessboard: "The horse goes to the sun, the elephant goes to the field, the chariot goes in a straight line and cannons go over the mountain. The pawn crosses the river and does not return.
A soldier never leaves the side of a veteran."
After spitting and gesticulating for a long time, Qi Liang finally understood the rules of chess.
"You are a novice, let me go first."
Qi Liang nodded lightly and thought about the safest step for a while: "Sergeant."
"Vaulting horse."
"Second brother, can my commander command your general? The commander in Dalong can command the general."
"no."
"Second brother, can my appearance be enough to eat your elephant?"
"Why?"
"Xiangs are people, elephants are animals, and it's normal for people to eat meat."
"What's the point? You know elephants?"
"Of course, there are many elephants in Dali."
"Okay!" Mr. Liu thought there were no elephants at this time. It seemed that he had never seen the world and kept it firmly in his mind. Jiuniu's mount must have been found.
"Second brother, what is a cannon?"
"Why are you playing chess?"
"oh!"
Young Master Liu looked at Qi Liangliang who was scratching his head and felt a sense of accomplishment. This young master is indeed invincible.
An hour later, it was Young Master Liu's turn to start scratching his head, while Qi Liang became firmly seated in the army.
"Vaulting horse."
"Second brother, what you dance is the word "mu", not the word "ri". Brother, you are doing it wrong."
"I am a sweaty horse, I can jump farther."
"Second brother, why can your cannon capture my rook when it is separated by one of your pawns and one of your knights? Can't it only be separated by one chess piece at a time?"
"Serial cannons are not enough. There is so much nonsense. Let's go quickly."
"No, second brother, why did your elephant come to my side? Elephants can't cross the river."
"You're wasting your time reading poetry and books, haven't you heard of Dumbo? You can fly across the Yangtze River, so what's a small river? Come on, don't talk nonsense."
"Second brother, how can your pawn retreat and take one step to take my soldier? Where will the promised pawn be returned if he doesn't come back?"
"Soldiers, fight wherever you point. So many words. Let's go quickly."
"Second brother, why can my taxi eat my handsomeness?"
"Don't you know that it's hard to guard against domestic thieves day and night? This is a secret agent I bribed. It's no good if he switches sides in the middle of the battle."
Qi Liang's face turned crimson and he threw the chess piece in his hand on the table: "If you can't play, you are right no matter what. What's the point of playing this chess piece?"
"Hey, your chess skills are really bad. I won't play chess with you anymore."
Mr. Liu shook his head and walked towards the front yard with his hands behind his back. From time to time he would click his tongue and say that the chess quality was really bad.
Song Shan walked to Qi Liang with a depressed expression: "Master, don't you want to beat him?"
Qi Liang nodded fiercely: "I have the heart to kill him."
Song Shan nodded lightly: "Me too."
"Mingzhi, you came just in time. The dishes have just been cooked. Sit down quickly. The servants have already gone to call Liang'er and Ya'er. Let's wait for a while."
"Thank you, uncle."
"Sister, why did you change your clothes again in less than half a day?"
"There are too many things for you to take care of."
Qi Liang's mouth twitched as he looked at the back of his eldest sister Qi Ya, "Who have I offended every day?"
