Chapter 43: Chapter 014 Qualifications to See

Sitting in the compartment, one can not only hear the various voices of people downstairs but also view the beautiful lake scenery outside through the window.

Crown Prince Yan Wudi, wearing an ordinary black robe, was sitting on the second floor, drinking green tea and listening to the noise below.

"Wang Wu, is there any new news recently?" someone downstairs asked.

A man in a scholar's robe was eating buns and sitting in the center. Everyone was surrounding him.

"Now? There are only two things at present. One is that all the major medical clinics in Yanjing are completely full! I don't know what's going on. Suddenly, many people in Yanjing are sick!" Wang Wu sighed as he ate buns.

"Yes, my second uncle was fine two months ago. Carrying a bag of rice was not difficult at all. He had never been sick before, but suddenly he collapsed!" someone interjected.

"I don't know if it's some kind of epidemic. Anyway, there are quite a lot of sick people. There are many people queuing up outside every medical clinic!"

"My third uncle is a doctor at Baizhitang in front. He said that this disease has no known cause. It's a strange disease!"

...

Everyone kept talking.

"And the other thing is that the Co-Prince has returned!" Wang Wu thought for a while and said.

The Co-Prince? Crown Prince Yan Wudi upstairs immediately became interested.

"The Co-Prince? Who doesn't know! That day I was at the city gate. Huo Guang broke through the city tower with one shot. Three thousand Brocade Army soldiers were so majestic!"

"Yes, I saw it too. So what!"

"What's the news in this? Everyone in the city knows it!"

...

Everyone was discussing. But Wang Wu gently shook his head.

"No, what I want to say is not this. Do you know that the Co-Prince went to Starry Mountain Villa?" Wang Wu said proudly.

"Oh?" Everyone was slightly stunned.

"Everyone in the world knows Grand Tutor Yi Feng's rule. Even the Emperor of Yan can't see Grand Tutor. Grand Tutor Yi Feng is approaching his end. He doesn't care about any power. In his later years, he just wants to play chess and do what he likes most! So, Starry Mountain Villa has invited chess players from all over the world. Moreover, countless national masters have come here attracted by his reputation!" Wang Wu said.

"Nonsense, Wang Wu. Get to the point!" One person was impatient.

"The Co-Prince went there and played chess across the mountain with Grand Tutor Yi Feng!" Wang Wu said.

"Ah?"

"No. Wang Wu, you are bragging. I know the rule of Starry Mountain Villa. One must solve ten endgame puzzles. How many days have passed? The Co-Prince hasn't solved all the endgame puzzles yet. How can he play chess with Grand Tutor?" A person didn't believe it.

"Cut! Don't you believe it. The Co-Prince really played chess with Grand Tutor. My third brother is a servant there. You don't know how powerful the Co-Prince is. He solved ten endgame puzzles simultaneously. In a moment, he solved them all!" Wang Wu said excitedly.

"Ah? Impossible!"

"Of course it's true. My third brother was responsible for placing pieces according to the chess manual at that time. But even placing pieces according to the chess manual wasn't as fast as the Co-Prince. The Co-Prince didn't need to look at all. Pa! Pa! Pa! And he solved them all. If I had known, I would have gone to watch too!" Wang Wu said excitedly.

"Then, what happened later?" Everyone's interest was also aroused.

"Later, naturally, he played chess with Grand Tutor. Originally, ten people were playing chess with Grand Tutor. But the first nine so-called chess kings were completely vulnerable and were defeated in an instant. Only the Co-Prince was still placing pieces. It didn't stop. Until today, that game of chess is still not over!" Wang Wu sighed.

"Brag. Grand Tutor's chess skills are unrivaled. He can win in an hour. How could the Co-Prince play for three days and three nights?" Someone didn't believe it.

"You still don't believe it. The Co-Prince is really amazing. At noon that day, he went back and said that Grand Tutor needs to think when playing chess. When he thinks it through and places a piece, someone will be sent to tell him. Then he will place a piece and have it relayed back!" Wang Wu said proudly.

"Ah? So, isn't it that the Co-Prince is sitting at home while Grand Tutor is sitting in the 'valley within a valley' and they are playing chess across the distance?"

"Of course. Moreover, the Co-Prince's chess skills are obviously not weaker than Grand Tutor's. For three days and three nights, no one has won or lost!" Wang Wu said.

"So powerful?" Someone was surprised.

"Of course. I also heard that those chess kings in Starry Mountain Villa don't play chess anymore. Every day, they just wait for the two to place pieces. They wait eagerly. Every time the messenger comes to place a piece, these chess kings don't even dare to breathe loudly and just watch like this." Wang Wu said.

"Really?"

"Of course it's true. Do you know that chess king in our Yanjing?" Wang Wu said proudly.

"Of course I know. That chess king only admires Grand Tutor and no one else!"

"But after watching the chess game for two days, he didn't dare to watch anymore. He needs to rest for a day before he dares to watch!" Wang Wu said.

"Ah? What does that mean? Tired?"

"Of course not tired. As he said, that game of chess is too big. It makes him dizzy! He can't hold on anymore!" Wang Wu said proudly, as if he were beside the chessboard.

"So powerful?"

"Nonsense. This game of chess has stunned those chess kings. Don't you think it's powerful? This game of chess doesn't know when it will end!" Wang Wu affirmed.

"The Co-Prince is really amazing!"

...

The common people were discussing downstairs. Upstairs, Crown Prince Yan Wudi frowned.

"Go and ask what Uncle Wang has been doing these days?" Yan Wudi said to a subordinate behind him.

"Yes!"

That subordinate quickly went downstairs, left the restaurant, and came back after a long time. He came to Yan Wudi's private room again.

"Reporting to the crown prince, I asked the people in charge of city defense. It is said that the Co-Prince goes out of the city early every day and comes back in the evening. Moreover, he goes through different city gates every day. No one knows what the Co-Prince is doing!" That subordinate said.

"Oh? Didn't he play chess?" Yan Wudi was puzzled.

"He did. Indeed, as Wang Wu downstairs said, the Co-Prince's moves are continuously relayed to Starry Mountain Villa!"

"So, Uncle Wang is playing chess while going out to handle affairs?" Yan Wudi was puzzled.

"It should be!" That subordinate respectfully said.

"When Uncle Wang comes back in the evening, inform me. I will go and see Uncle Wang!" Yan Wudi thought for a while and said.

"Yes!" That subordinate immediately said.

...

"Giddyap!"

In the south of Yanjing, Yan Chuan led a hundred Brocade Army soldiers galloping on horseback.

Following a mountain road, the sweat-blooded horses struggled to climb to the top of the mountain.

"Stop!"

Yan Chuan pulled the reins.

"Whoa!"

All a hundred sweat-blooded horses stopped.

Sitting on the big horse, Yan Chuan overlooked the surrounding mountains and gradually looked at the prosperous Yanjing in the distance.

"Prince, what are we looking for these days by running around everywhere?" Liu Jin didn't understand.

Yan Chuan looked at Yanjing and smiled slightly. "I am looking at the terrain in all directions. Yanjing may be our base camp in the future. The geomantic omen of the mountains and earth qi around is extremely important! I need to know it clearly!"

"How about the surroundings of Yanjing?" Liu Jin was curious.

"Generally speaking, it's not bad. Unfortunately, there are too few mountain dragon veins. There are only four! When I establish a country, these dragon veins will definitely not be enough. I still need to find someone to bring a hundred dragon veins to our capital and form a pattern of a hundred dragons paying homage. Only then can the qi suppress the Great Yan and leave a glorious name for thousands of years!" Yan Chuan said in a solemn tone.

"Yes!" Although Liu Jin didn't understand, it didn't prevent his admiration.

"Clatter, clatter..."

In the distance, two fine horses galloped over, raising dust all the way.

"Oh? Yi Feng placed another piece?" Yan Chuan's eyes lit up slightly.

"Set up the chessboard!" Liu Jin ordered two Brocade Army soldiers.

"Yes!"

Two soldiers quickly and solemnly took off the chessboards on their backs and quickly placed the pieces in order and put them on a large stone.

Yan Chuan dismounted. In the distance, two fine horses also arrived.

"Prince, Grand Tutor placed a piece. Two in and two!" The Brocade Army soldier who hurried over immediately said.

"Two in and two? Oh?" Yan Chuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

Liu Jin quickly placed a white piece on the position of "two in and two".

Yan Chuan sat on the big stone and stared at the chessboard, thinking slightly.

No one around dared to disturb.

After about half an incense stick of time.

"Good move! Two in and two? You finally couldn't hold back?" Yan Chuan said with a smile in a solemn tone.

Saying that, Yan Chuan took a black piece and filled a chess opening on the chessboard.

"Flat four four. Eat your three pieces first!" Yan Chuan smiled.

After placing the piece, three white pieces were eaten.

"Go. Flat four four!" Yan Chuan smiled at the Brocade Army soldiers who had rushed over.

"Yes!" The two quickly rode away.

...

In the outer valley of Starry Mountain Villa.

A chessboard was placed in the center.

Around it, a group of chess kings were sitting cross-legged, racking their brains thinking about the chess game on the chessboard.

Meng Rongrong, Changqing, and the other six people had also arrived at the valley at this moment and were quietly staring at the chessboard.

Meng Rongrong was deeply immersed.

Changqing and the five students from Julu Academy were frowning and staring at the chessboard at this moment.

"Miss, their chess skills of the two people in this game..." Changqing showed a wry smile on his face.

"What do you think?" Meng Rongrong asked.

Changqing gave a wry smile and shook his head. "I underestimated the people in the mortal world. In this game of chess, I am not as good as either the black pieces or the white pieces!"

"Yes. This chess skill can even rank among the students in the academy!" Meng Rongrong said strangely.

"Giddyap!"

There was the sound of horses galloping outside the valley.

"Here it comes, here it comes..." All the chess kings immediately got up from the ground and looked at the valley entrance with shining eyes.

Because of this game of chess, the two Brocade Army soldiers didn't need to dismount outside the valley anymore. They directly rode inside.

"The prince placed a piece. Flat four four!" While riding on the horse, a Brocade Army soldier shouted.

"Flat four four?"

A Brocade Army soldier beside the chessboard quickly placed a black piece.

"Pa!"

As the black piece fell, everyone stared at the chessboard.

As more and more pieces were placed, the chessboard became deeper and deeper. Some chess players who were fascinated were staring at the chessboard as if they were possessed.

Looking at the chessboard was like seeing a vortex that absorbed the minds of the chess kings.

One of the white-browed chess kings even had his face flushed red. Staring at the chessboard was like being immersed in it. Cold sweat was pouring down his body.

"Flat four four. Take three pieces first!" That Brocade Army soldier took off the white pieces that were swallowed by the black pieces.

"Pfft!"

Suddenly, the white-browed chess king spat out a mouthful of reverse blood and fell down.

"Master Bai, what's wrong with you?" The surrounding chess players immediately became flustered.

The white-browed chess king was weakened and showed a wry smile. "I actually spat blood because of watching a game of chess. This game of chess is no longer an ordinary one. I don't even have the qualification to watch it anymore!"
