Hearing Qin Mu's words, although Zhao Gao was stunned for a moment, he didn't move at all. He continued to stand behind Ying Zheng calmly.
Seeing this, Qin Mu shook his head helplessly.
On the other side, when Ying Zheng saw Zhao Gao's lack of judgment, his face immediately turned stern." Old Zhao, since Big Brother Qin asked you to sit down, you should sit down. Do you understand?"”
" This..." Zhao Gaopo was a little hesitant, but when he saw Ying Zheng's sharp gaze, he shivered and nodded repeatedly," Yes, yes, yes, I'll sit down right now."”
As he said that, Zhao Gao sat shakily between Qin Mu and Ying Zheng.
This was not because Zhao Gao was sick, but because it was his first time sitting with Ying Zheng.
Usually, Ying Zheng would sit and he would stand.
This was not to say that Ying Zheng was unreasonable, but rather, this was the principle of life in this era.
When Zhao Gao sat down, Qin Mu smiled in satisfaction.
Immediately after, Qin Mu raised his hand and took the wooden box from Zhao Gao.
Pointing at the chess pieces on the table, Qin Mu smiled faintly.""Hehe, how is it? Do you know how to play chess?”
Ying Zheng only hesitated for a moment, but did not say anything else. He directly picked up a white chess piece from the chess box and pressed it on the chessboard.
Seeing Ying Zheng being so impolite, Qin Mu was also slightly stunned. However, he quickly reacted and picked up the black pieces from the chess box to play against Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng and Qin Mu fought for a moment, but no victor was determined.
Regarding this, Qin Mu was rather astonished. He had won the championship of the city's Go tournament in his previous life, so how could he be on par with a girl who was a few years younger than him in ancient times?
On the other side, Ying Zheng was also quite surprised. After all, Ying Zheng had been locked up in the deep courtyard of the palace all year round, and had not had many toys to play with all day long. He could only play chess for fun.
Ever since he was young, Ying Zheng's chess skills had been rated as the best in the world. Ying Zheng was quite proud of this, thinking that if he were to compare his chess skills, perhaps not many people in the whole world could compare with him.
However, this Big Brother Qin, whom he was quite interested in, was actually on par with him in chess skills. This made Ying Zheng think even more highly of Qin Mu.
After a round of chess, the two of them still did not see a winner, but the situation of the two's victory and defeat was already very obvious.
Beads of sweat were already dripping down Ying Zheng's face, and he seemed rather impatient.
Qin Mu, on the other hand, was very relaxed. He sat opposite Ying Zheng and took a sip of the tea he had brewed with a relaxed expression.
At this moment, Ying Zheng, who was opposite Qin Mu, picked up a white chess piece and pressed it between a row of black chess pieces.
Seeing this, the corners of Qin Mu's mouth curled up slightly, and he slowly picked up a black chess piece from the chess box.
Qin Mu smiled at Ying Zheng and said,""Remember, the more critical the moment is, the more you can't be anxious. Regardless of whether you win or lose, you can't panic!”
As he spoke, Qin Mu put down the black piece.
Instantly, the chess game that had just been in a stalemate suddenly changed. The black pieces surrounded the white pieces, leaving no space for them.
Upon seeing this, Ying Zheng immediately laid down on the table in front of him, the sweat on his face soaking his clothes.
Reaching out, Qin Mu patted Ying Zheng's little head and said with a smile,""Alright, the fact that you can play chess with me to this point shows that you are already extremely proficient in chess. Don't be disheartened. After all, I'm still a few years older than you.”
As he spoke, Qin Mu paused for a moment before continuing with a smile,""Besides, your Big Brother Qin is a chess expert in my hometown. It's not embarrassing for you to lose to me.”
"Yes." Ying Zheng responded in a low voice. His face was still a little gloomy, obviously still feeling a little uncomfortable about his defeat.
Seeing this, Qin Mu was speechless.
After thinking about it, Qin Mu suddenly smiled and looked at Ying Zheng.""How about this, I'll teach you a set of chess techniques from my hometown?”
"Another method of playing chess?"
Ying Zheng looked confused.
Nodding his head, Qin Mu took the wooden box from Expert Zhao again and took out some more things.
After a while, he saw a piece of silk cloth and wooden blocks the size of a tea bowl.
On the silk cloth, there were thin lines carved, making it difficult for people to understand.
However, Qin Mu understood this thing very well.
Xiangqi!
This was a set of Chinese chess that Qin Mu had fiddled with during these days when he had nothing to do.
In this era, there was no such thing as Chinese chess, but other than Go, Qin Mu only loved Chinese chess in his previous life. How could he not create Chinese chess?
Setting up the chessboard, Qin Mu stretched out his hand and introduced,"" This is a little toy from my hometown. It's called Chinese chess. It's divided into Han and Tang. Han is one realm, and Tang is another…"
Qin Mu continued to introduce the chess pieces to the two people who were looking at it curiously.
Of course, because there was Chu now, Qin Mu had changed it to Tang. It could be considered a little trick.
After that, under Qin Mu's demonstration and a few attempts, Ying Zheng slowly grasped the skill of Chinese chess.
After that, Ying Zheng developed a strong interest in Chinese chess.
At this moment, the owner of the tea shop looked curiously at the chessboard on the low table and asked,"Hey, sir, what is this?”
Before Qin Mu could say anything, Ying Zheng smiled and pointed at the chessboard.""This is another kind of chess that my elder brother created. It is called Xiangqi.”
"Xiangqi?"
Not only the shop owner, but most of the people who were drinking tea in the tea shop also looked over with surprise.
In fact, they had already noticed the three of them. After all, Qin Mu and Ying Zheng weren't people who came to this simple tea shop to drink tea.
Hearing the name of Xiangqi, these people's curiosity was piqued.
"May I ask what this Chinese chess is?" The shop owner asked a question that many people present had.
" Xiangqi... Xiangqi..." Ying Zheng was about to explain, but he found that he could not say it either. He was stunned on the spot, looking rather embarrassed.
However, Qin Mu smiled and helped Ying Zheng out.""This Chinese chess is a little toy invented by the people of my hometown. Although it can't compare to Go, it's still very interesting. Why don't you all come and watch a game? I believe that all of you will be fascinated by this Chinese chess.”
