Chapter 26 Chang'an boring man
Liu Yu felt that he was far away from him, but often, as expected, on the first day he returned to the capital, he met the fourth prince-consort Chai Jin, a rich and calm but somewhat introverted old man.
Liu Yu returned to the capital on April 1st. The results of the test were released on this day, and the whole capital was very lively. Liu Yu really wanted to dive into a crowded place to breathe a few breaths of popularity. He needed the feeling of excitement too much.
Li Mi and Sui Yi remained in the military camp outside the city. Like Qi Fang and Zhang Wuzhu, they were on the list of rewards from the court. Logically speaking, without the imperial decree, the military generals who returned to the capital to receive rewards could not enter the capital casually. Without Liu Yu in the credit book, he did not have to abide by those rules and regulations. When he arrived in Chang'an, he couldn't wait to enter the city.
When he returned to the capital, he returned home first. Everything in the marquis's mansion was as usual. The old man Liu Zhao had not come back in Tongguan. The mansion didn't know what earth-shaking things the twelfth young master had done when he went out, and no one paid attention to him passing by the yard. Except for his sister's concern, the others probably didn't even know that he had left the capital for more than a month.
Only Liu Wu said to him: "The Third Lady knows that you have not returned home for many days, and said you are going to wait for the Master to come back to sue you."
Liu Yu always thought that Liu Wuting was good at being a human being. Although everyone in the mansion was drinking, at least he was good to Liu Yu. Many of the things that the mansion’s wife and young master sent a housekeeper or accountant to do were handled by Liu Wu, so he was very versatile and well-informed.
Liu Yu was not interested in complaining or not. The old man knew that he had not returned for many days. Even if he had not learned about his violent incident by Kui Shui from the court, he would only say a few words to him. His son who was about to "marry" was too lazy to care about it.
Liu Yu left the Hou Mansion and went straight to the chess building. It was there that he met the fourth prince consort Chai Jin, who was sitting alone in Liu Yu's chess room to study the endgame of chess, and was very attentive. Of course, when Liu Yu met Chai Jin, he didn't know his identity, but only knew that he was a bastard who occupied his chess room.
"Man, what's going on? Why are my chess room occupied?" Liu Yu was very upset and pulled the chess house guy over, asking in a bad tone.
"Twelve Young Master, you... 告, 告, 告, you didn't have any news about your trip, and you didn't say you wanted to book a future chess room, so..."
Liu Yu was also helpless. People are very philanthropist these days. They don’t give money to private rooms or rewards, and the king of heaven doesn’t give him face.
Liu Yu dragged his friend in to reason with the bastard, and said it was strange that few nobles in the capital were as easy to talk to as the one in front of him. When he heard that it was the one who had a chess room, he respectfully said that he wanted to change the room. Liu Yu, who was already aggressive, felt a little embarrassed.
"This brother also likes to play chess?" Liu Yu looked at the chess game on the table, "What if I don't have the next game?"
"So, I'm lucky, I'm lucky!"
It was rare to find a chess friend, and the two of them had a grudge and sat down to play a game of chess together.
They only learned about each other's identities during their conversation. Liu Yu was surprised by Chai Jin's identity. After all, Han Sheng had only blew the wind in his ear a few days ago, asking him to be careful of the people around the Fourth Princess. Unexpectedly, he met so soon. Once, Liu Yu also suspected that the Fourth Princess was just pretending to be a bear in front of him, but in fact he was a shrewd master behind his back and gave advice to the Fourth Princess. He realized at first sight today that the rumors were true.
Chai Jin is a completely model of a "good man". He has a good temper and nods everything. He can't laugh or get upset, as if he never offends others. He is a complete bear bag.
"My family said I should go out for more walks and make more friends, so I came to the chess building to take a walk." Chai Jin mentioned the Fourth Princess, just like an ordinary man talking about his wife at home, which was very natural. At least from this sentence, Liu Yu could understand the fourth princess' painstaking efforts. Chai Jin was so fuckingly repressed. Such a repressed man must have no close friends around him.
When he learned that Liu Yu was the son of Liu Zhao, the marquis of Dingguo, Chai Jin also felt a little respectful and bowed, saying, "I'm not respectful, I'm not respectful."
One of the many sons of the Marquis of Dingguo was, and Chai Jin's "disrespect" was only a polite approach at most.
Liu Yu has been in this world for a year and has played chess with many people in the chess building. There are too few people who can compete with him. The indifferent Chai Jin is one of them. Perhaps the low-key and naughty person is also more meticulous. Although Chai Jin is a foolish person, he is unique in chess style. He is attacking, defending and attacking. At least Liu Yu spent a lot of effort to put a condom on him and killed him. Only a veteran left to jump around.
Liu Yu was about to die, and Chai Jin was not in a hurry, so he took a serious look at the veteran. If it were someone else, he would have thrown the chess piece and admitted defeat or cheated, such as Han Sheng and Old Man Han.
"Brother Chai, do you think you still have a chance?" In the end, even Liu Yu felt that he had done a bit too much. After all, a soldier can be killed but not humiliated.
Unexpectedly, Chai Jin raised his head, thought about it carefully and said, "Brother Liu is not going to die yet. I think there will still be a chance as long as the veteran is not lost."
Liu Yu was speechless.
In order to end the battle earlier, Liu Yu went straight to the carriage, horses and cannons, and harvested the bare veteran. The endgame ended.
"Brother Liu's chess skills are really extraordinary. I play with my family. Even if I give her a few words, she can't beat me. Why don't we go to another game?"
Liu Yu felt that Chai Jin was really bored. He was very depressed to play chess with a reluctant man. He said anything and he was "yes, yes" and he was owed any passion. Even if he regretted chess, it would be fine, but Liu Yu guessed that Chai Jin had only one stubborn mind and would not turn around.
Fortunately, the arrival of Sui Yi and Li Mi helped Liu Yu to relieve the siege, otherwise he would really be able to play another game of slutty chess with this indifferent man.
"Why are you entering the city? You are not asking you to wait outside the city for the imperial decree?" Liu Yu looked at Li Mi and Sui Yi, who were dry-mouthed, as if they were rushing to the road.
"One of us went to the Ministry of War, the other went to the Ministry of Personnel, and we received official letters and official certificates, saying that we were missing in Beijing. I don't know when I waited, but I still felt that it was better to donate an official position." Sui Yi was not polite and drank the indifferent man's tea. After drinking half of it, he might feel something was wrong and smelled it with his nose, "Why is this tea smelling like this? What is added to it?"
Chai Jin said with an innocent look on his face: "This guy, I am really sorry. I have rinsed my mouth with this tea before."
Sui Yi directly sprayed out half a bowl of tea that he had not swallowed.
Li Mi smiled beside her and leaned back and forth. Sui Yi hurriedly went out to find water to rinse his mouth. Liu Yu smiled helplessly and looked at Chai Jin. This introverted man was still a little puzzled. He was looking at Sui Yi who was rushing out of the door, but he was cowardly and unconsciously.
Li Mi and Chai Jin had seen each other's favor. When they learned that Li Mi had just returned from the front line, Chai Jin said in surprise: "It turned out to be a righteous man from the Dashun court, who was disrespectful and disrespectful."
This time, the "disrespect" is worthy of his reputation, because Chai Jin has stood up and has a lot of respect.
"The ninth prince entered the palace to meet the saint. My brothers Sui and I received official letters and official letters. I am the commander waiting to be a military officer. The Sui brothers were from the fourth-rank civil servants. This time they made it to the sky and would wake up laughing when they dreamed. I just didn't know how to go back and tell my family."
Like Liu Yu, Li Mi was both a concubine, and he jumped from an ordinary common man and became a commander. He was only one step away from a deviant general. In this way, he didn't understand how to face his family, or how to face the path he would take in the future.
This is also the reason why Liu Yu chose not to compete for merit. Once he embarked on a military journey or a career, the direction of his future will no longer be determined by himself, and it will be difficult to live a free and free life.
