Chapter 66 The Iron Game!
Wang Chong had memorized so many exercises in his mind, but really speaking, there was no one better than the "Destruction of Ghosts and Gods" created by the old Marshal Su Zhengchen!
In this reincarnation, Wang Chong's biggest wish in the martial arts is to obtain the most lethal "Destruction of Ghosts and Gods" and accomplish what he had never done in his previous life.
But, easier said than done!
In order to gain the approval of Marshal Su, one needs to go through many tests, which is not an easy task. Character, talent, and strength are all indispensable, and even if they are achieved, they may not be successful.
Even in the previous dynasty, even the late emperor opened his mouth and wanted to transfer a prince to Su Zhengchen's name, become his apprentice, and inherit his unique skills, but he was also rejected.
One can imagine the difficulty.
Moreover, the gate of Su Mansion has been closed for many years, and it is even more impossible to even enter.
However, Wang Chong knew of an opportunity, and this might be the only opportunity, to get in touch with this great Tang veteran.
This was the great turmoil in the previous life, when Wang Chong was in disarray, Wang Chong accidentally met an old servant of the Su family and heard from him.
It turned out that, contrary to what many people imagined, it was not that Su Zhengchen did not accept apprentices. On the contrary, in the last ten years of his life, he had been trying to find a qualified successor, and he was still looking for it himself.
If the old servant hadn't said it, I'm afraid many people wouldn't know that in the west of the capital, under the thousand-year-old locust tree, a stern white-haired old man who appeared on time with a chessboard every day was famous all over the world. The great god Su Zhengchen.
Su Zhengchen appeared there for ten years, but no one noticed him. Even those who played chess with him didn't know his true identity until death.
If Wang Chong wants to contact Su Zhengchen, this is the only chance!
"Go to the Guihuai District in the west of the city!"
On the street, Wang Chong stopped a carriage and went straight to the west of the city.
...
In the Guihuai District in the west of the city, people are densely populated, and many old people and children play here. According to another world, this is actually a square.
Wang Chong got off the carriage and went straight to the foot of the old locust tree.
"I don't know which one is Su Zhengchen..."
Wang Chong thought to himself.
There were many people playing chess in the square, and it was not easy to find Su Zhengchen. Most importantly, Wang Chong had never seen him.
Even in that great turmoil, when the foreign iron cavalry invaded the capital, Wang Chong was far away, so he couldn't see it clearly.
"Fortunately, I asked a few more questions at the beginning."
Wang Chong secretly rejoiced in his heart.
At the beginning, out of respect for the old marshal and out of benefit, Wang Chong once asked a few more questions. Therefore, I also know that Old Marshal Su Zhengchen's chessboard is completely different from other people's. His chessboard is encrusted with gold threads, which is the best way to identify him.
However, when Wang Chong strolled around the Guihuai District, he couldn't help being stunned.
"...It's not there!"
Just to the east of the thousand-year-old locust tree, Wang Chong saw a Shi Deng at a glance, and there was a golden chessboard on the Shi Deng. Although the chessboard is there, the people are not there, only a four or five-year-old child is left there, yawning boredly.
"Little guy, where is the old man who plays chess here?"
"do not know,
He only said that someone came, and gave him this son. If he can, he will appear. "
The child was chubby and looked very cute. He opened his eyes when he heard someone ask questions, and while talking, the little fat hand handed over a black chess piece, which was covered in sweat from his palms.
Wang Chong looked at the sweat-stained sunspot, stunned, and understood. This is a small test, and the content of the test is playing games.
There is only one piece, so it can only be dropped once.
If Zi Luo is right, Old Marshal Su will naturally appear. And if it is wrong, it will be eliminated, and Old Marshal Su will naturally not appear.
Wang Chong understood what the other party meant, and his heart suddenly became clear.
"Little guy, this ingot is for you."
Wang Chong stuffed a piece of silver over, took the sunspot from the child, and quickly observed it. The chessboard is criss-crossed, but there are not many chess pieces.
The black and white chess pieces are all concentrated in one corner, and it looks like two armies are fighting for a high ground.
"This is a partial corner kill."
Wang Chong glanced at it and laughed involuntarily. This was a standard "iron chess game". Obviously, what Old Marshal Su wanted to test was the opponent's ability to lead troops in battle.
What Datang needs is not one or two warriors, but generals who can lead troops to fight. As a legendary marshal of the Tang Dynasty, Su Zhengchen obviously also hopes that his descendants have certain military talents.
Perhaps it was because the deadline was approaching, or perhaps it was because he was worried that there would be no successor to his unique skills, so Su Zhengchen didn't have too much difficulty in this regard.
In this iron chess game, as long as the black piece plays a piece in the northwest corner of the center of the white piece, it can change its situation, delay a little longer, and successfully pass the test of the first level.
However, all this was different for Wang Chong.
In the last life, as the military marshal of the world, Wang Chong was not selected by the seniors because of his martial arts. On the contrary, in the last life, Wang Chong started too late and missed the best foundation building. In the area, even if the strength is chasing, it is not very good.
The reason why Wang Chong was ordered in danger and was selected by the "old seniors" who had only fruitful results, and worshipped him as the Great Marshal of the World's Armed Forces in the wilderness, was precisely because of his military command ability.
Afterwards, Wang Chong led the army to prove himself with his own performance. In the few years when Wang Chong led the army, he killed more foreign iron cavalry than the previous decades. The most powerful war god in the history of Middle-earth Shenzhou.
If Su Zhengchen used this kind of chess game to test him, he would really find the wrong person. It was never his style to hold hands and wait.
Passive defense is not his style.
clatter!
Wang Chong buckled the black piece, and the piece did not land on the northwest corner of the center of the white piece, but was firmly buckled in an unexpected position.
After leaving the Guihuai District, Wang Chong walked around the city and quickly returned home to continue practicing martial arts.
It's grandpa's birthday in a few days.
The Wang family is the first of the generals, and martial arts is also the content of the assessment. Wang Chong didn't dare to be careless.
Unknowingly, in the evening, Wang Chong stepped on the chain and was practicing keel art in the backyard, when suddenly he heard an uproar.
"Brother-in-law, why are you here?"
In the vestibule, there was a strange voice, it was the mother's voice.
"Shuhua, is Chong'er back? I'm looking for Chong'er?"
"Chong'er? He's practicing inside." This was the mother's voice, and it sounded like she didn't care.
"It's my uncle!"
Wang Chong was a little surprised when he received the gong. He recognized that the excited voice was his eldest uncle Li Lin.
However, the eldest uncle rarely came to his house, and when he did, he usually came with the eldest aunt Wang Rushuang.
But Wang Chong only heard the voice of the eldest uncle, but did not hear the voice of the aunt. This was the first time this happened.
"have a look!"
Wang Chong collected his work and walked straight in the direction from which the voice came.
...
Wang Chong met his eldest uncle Li Lin in the hall of his house.
"Chong'er, do you have the number one sword in the world?"
When the eldest uncle Li Lin saw Wang Chong, he went straight to the point, and his voice suddenly rose a bit. His face was flushed and he looked very excited.
The eldest uncle, Li Lin, has a dull personality and rarely speaks. It was the first time Wang Chong saw him so excited.
"Uncle, has anyone looked for you?"
At first Wang Chong wondered what the eldest uncle Li Lin was looking for, but when he heard these words, he immediately guessed something in his heart.
"Chong'er, how do you know?"
Li Lin looked surprised, but when he remembered Wang Chong's previous performance, he was relieved immediately:
"Chong'er, you must have never imagined that it is General Zhao Fengchen Zhao! In addition, there is Commander Sun."
Li Lin didn't hide it, and told the whole story of what happened. It turned out that Li Lin was still in his room just after dawn today, and Zhao Fengchen knocked on his door and walked in.
Along with him was Shen Huai, the commander of the Imperial Guard.
Zhao Fengchen was fine, but Shen Huai was his immediate boss. Li Lin has been in the army for so long, and this is the first time that the boss of the army has taken the initiative to find him.
Shen Huai first found Li Lin, said a lot of things, and praised Li Lin's previous performance. Said to be ready to transfer him to Simon.
However, the conversation changed, and he said that he was willing to pay 42,000 taels of gold to help him buy a sword. And the sword seller was someone he never thought of, Wang Chong!
Li Lin felt like he was going crazy. What sword is so expensive, it is actually worth 42,000 taels, and what is even more outrageous is that the person who sells the sword is actually his nephew, Wang Chong!
Li Lin was stunned at the time, unable to turn his head at all. The first reaction is, is this a joke? Wang Chong is only a fifteen-year-old child, how could he have a sword worth more than 40,000 taels of gold?
"Chong'er, tell me what the hell is going on. Is what they said true?"
Li Lin grabbed Wang Chong's arm and said nervously.
"Yes!"
At this time, Wang Chong relaxed and nodded.
"His!"
Li Lin let go of his arms and sat back in his seat, watching Wang Chong take a deep breath. Amazing! Li Lin opened his eyes wide and looked at Wang Chong with surprise, as if he was meeting him for the first time.
Wang Chong's mind came up and down, and he was also thinking about some questions. Zhao Fengchen would find his eldest uncle Li Lin and ask him to ask him for a face. This was indeed Wang Chong's expectation.
Wang Chong originally expected that Zhao Fengchen would come to him in person.
However, this is better.
Zhao Fengchen took the initiative to find his eldest uncle Li Lin, which gradually made some of the thoughts in Wang Chong's mind become clearer.
"Uncle, do you want to be the chief commander?"
Wang Chong said suddenly.
"what?!"
Li Lin was startled by Wang Chong, and waved his hand quickly: "Don't talk nonsense, can the great commander be joking?"
Wang Chong smiled slightly and didn't care.
"What about the commander?"
"This... how can I have that kind of ability!"
Uncle Li Lindao.
Hearing this sentence, Wang Chong laughed. There is no doubt that the eldest uncle has ambitions. Wang Chong could also feel it from his eyes.
Otherwise, he would not accept Zhao Fengchen's entrustment to find him.
