"How can I afford such thick building wood?"

Zhou Jun and Zhong Limu howled at the same time, their voices extremely envious and even extremely regretful.

"Then I'll cut off a section and sell it to you." Zhang Bai said.

"Absolutely not!" Zhou Jun, Zhongli Mu and others hurriedly stopped them, "Brother Xian, don't you understand the market value of this thing? Such a log is priceless. Once it is cut, the price of the two pieces of wood added together, It’s not as high as it used to be.”

Although Zhang Bai knows a lot about heaven, materials and earthly treasures, that mainly involves understanding their performance. When he was in the East Palace, he always accepted other people's treasures and then processed them. It was impossible for him to have the money to directly buy the treasures, so the big log was He really didn’t know much about the price and market conditions.

"It turns out it can't be cut!" He was worried this time, "How can I sell it?"

What he was thinking about was the wooden roots of the house in Chongsheng Tower Forest.

"My dear brother, there is no need to worry. Chen Zuo and Chen Xuanji are still there in Jianye. His Yingchuan Chen family has a solid background, so he must have a solution."

When Zhang Bai heard that it made sense, he took Jianmu into the dream world, and the three of them continued on their way.

......

Jianye,

palace,

Peng Shi was pushed out of the palace gate and beheaded.

As soon as Sun Quan saw Zhang Bai as a young man, he was very interested. He specifically asked about Zhang Bai's life experience and military exploits, and also asked others about Zhang Bai's affairs in the Zhang family.

This time, not only Zhang Bai was rewarded with gold and silver, but he was also given the title of first ascending general.Although this position is far inferior to the Xingye General given by the Shu Kingdom, it is already considered a favor for Zhang Bai who is only 15 years old.

After the reward, Sun Quan left Zhang Bai behind, and the two met again in the palace.

Movie Emperor Zhang Bai was possessed, looking flattered, and knelt down on the ground, shouting: "Long live my emperor!" Sun Quan had not yet proclaimed himself emperor, so being called like this by Zhang Bai felt a little embarrassed, but he felt a little sweet in his heart.

"This child, this title is inappropriate, he is the King of Wu."

Zhang Bai seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then said: "The boy is not very talented, so please forgive me. However, the main body of Wu is sympathetic to the world, and everyone is united. It can be seen in the sky."

Halfway through his words, he did not insist on saying long live, but insisted on mentioning the sky, which meant that the imperial power was granted by heaven, and the king of Wu could get it, but he did not say it clearly.

Sun Quan was very happy when he heard this. To proclaim himself emperor would be to roast him on the fire, but he was unwilling to proclaim himself emperor.Zhang Bai's words, which looked like a child's, just tickled his itch, but they couldn't be true.

"What a smart boy, he deserves to be the queen of the Zhang family." Sun Quan nodded.

"I have been away from home since I was a child. I have always heard about Lord Wu's reputation as a virtuous person, so I came all the way to join Your Majesty. I am willing to serve my Lord and help protect the Sun family." Zhang Bai said.

Sun Quan didn't speak this time. After a while, he changed the topic and said, "I heard that you are good at chess. Is this a problem?"

Zhang Bai's heart skipped a beat, how did Sun Quan know that he was good at chess?

He only played chess twice in this life.One time was against Zhuge Qiao in Chengdu, and the other time was against his second brother Zhang Zhi at Wu Jun's home.

It stands to reason that Sun Quan knew that he was good at chess, probably through rumors spread through Zhang Zhi's mouth.But what if he knew about the chess game in Chengdu?So aren't you warning yourself?

Zhang Bai was in a state of mind, not daring to reveal anything on his face. He paused and replied: "When I was young, I was far away in the Western Regions. I met a strange person who taught me chess. His method was different from that of the Central Plains. It focused on profit but not on power. It is not a clever move. It's just a method. It was strange and unexpected, so he beat my second brother a few more games."

"I have heard about your second brother's chess skills. Taifu Zhang often praised him, saying that his chess moves were steady and he could defeat others without resorting to tricks. Taifu felt that he was not as good as him."

"My eldest brother is kind-hearted and always loves and protects our brothers."

"Today you are announced to be entering the palace, but there is actually another thing, which is to let you play a game of chess with the prince. Are you willing?"

Zhang Bai was a little confused. What kind of chess game was there with the prince?

And who is the so-called prince at this time?He couldn't remember.It would be okay if it was Sun Deng, but it would be bad if it was Sun He or Sun Ba.The dispute between Sun Quan and the Second Palace in his later years was very famous, which was the battle for the throne between Sun He and Sun Ba.

He didn't want to get involved.

"My Lord has an order, but I dare not obey it. It's just that there are so many chess masters in the Wu Kingdom, why do you want me to play against the prince?"

"It's because of your eldest brother Zhang Wen. He often tells me that your second brother is a superb chess player, and I long for him, but I don't usually have the chance to meet him. I recently heard that you beat your second brother in chess, so your chess skills must be extraordinary. Okay, let’s go to the palace pavilion, it’s very hot here.”

After saying this, Sun Quan stood up, and the servants and attendants opened the way to attend on both sides.Zhang Bai also followed with his eyes lowered and his eyes lowered.

When everyone came to the pavilion, Zhang Bai saw that arrangements had been made in the pavilion, and many attendants surrounded a young man waiting inside.

In the pavilion, there is a stone table and chessboard, tea is brewed and incense is smoked, and frogs and insects are chirping in the pond outside the pavilion, creating an elegant and royal atmosphere.

The young man stood up and saluted, calling him father. He must be the prince.Sun Quan asked him to sit down, and Zhang Bai stood aside.

Sun Quan introduced to the prince: "This young man is Zhang Taifu's Sanlang, who once surpassed Zhang Zhi in chess. His name is Zhang Bai. Zhang Bai, this is your highness the prince."

Zhang Bai immediately bowed and said: "Seeing His Highness the Crown Prince, my junior minister Zhang Bai, whose cursive character is Enpei, I learned from my eldest brother that the Crown Prince is gentle and steady. I am so lucky to see you today."

The young man also stood up and returned the gift, "I am Sun Deng, with a high courtesy name. I have long heard that Zhang Enpei is about the same age as me, and that he is both wise and brave, and has superb chess skills. Today, I am willful and ask my father to come forward to invite Brother Enpei, just for the sake of Let’s talk for a while.”

It turned out that the prince was Sun Deng, and Zhang Bai felt relieved.

This prince had a reputation as a virtuous man, but it was a pity that he died early, otherwise there would have been no fight for the second house.

Neither Sun Quan nor Sun Deng mentioned the Kingdom of Shu. It seems that they did follow Zhang Zhichu's rumors.Zhang Bai thought, probably Zhang Zhi wanted to make himself famous and spread his reputation everywhere!

This second brother is really warm and troublesome.

And...the engagement thing, for some reason, suddenly came to mind again.If I run away from marriage publicly, I would really feel sorry for my second brother.

There is no other way, just keep stalling for time.So Zhang Bai gave in to the prince and Sun Quanqian for a few words and then sat down, and the two sides started playing chess.

Sun Deng was the prince, and Zhang Bai did not dare to hold the black one, so he snatched the white one.Sun Deng smiled, but he was not humble and moved the star in the upper right corner of his hand.

Zhang Bai knew that these ancients played chess with very weird and troublesome rules.Not to mention the rules and regulations, it is not entirely whoever has the bigger territory wins.It also depends on who has fewer chess pieces. In other words, the one who divides the chess pieces scattered will lose even if the territory is large.

Moreover, when ancient people played chess, they could only start from the star positions in a regular manner, and were not allowed to make modern openings such as small eyes, three threes, and outer eyes.

Not only that, after placing the star positions, the opponent must attack from a low star position, and we can only attack the enemy from the star position upwards.

With this set of things, the exquisite formulas of modern Go are almost useless.
