"This battle fully demonstrates that our Song Dynasty has strong military strength, and those Dangxiang people are no match for them at all!"

Zhao Xu couldn't hide his excitement and said happily.

"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the Song Dynasty!"

Xiong Qi said with a smile:

"The emperor's brother achieved such a major victory after taking power on the first day of the first day, which was as handsome as Qin Shihuang swept the six kingdoms, but my literary style of the Song Dynasty was so prosperous, which was incomparable to the Qin Dynasty in the past!"

"Ha ha!"

Zhao Xu laughed loudly, obviously enjoying Xiong Qi's flattery, and said with a smile:

"It's just a victory. Liao Kingdom, Xixia, and southwestern Tubo are still eyeing each other. I can't compare to Qin Shihuang who swept the six kingdoms!"

"When it comes to literary style, the eight-door hall you set up by Jiu brother is quite interesting!"

Zhao Xu changed his words and looked at Xiong Qi and said with a smile:

"The owners inside have their own expertise, especially the four museums of calligraphy, painting, piano and chess are very famous. I heard that many literati and scholars like to go out for fun, and even the eleventh brother, King Jian, always runs there!"

Indeed, compared with the four types of medicine, craftsman, flower, and play, calligraphy, painting, piano, and chess, it is more in line with the taste of the literary people.

"hehe!"

Xiong Qi smiled and said:

"It's just boring, I just have a sudden idea, but it seems to be quite lively now!"

Zhao Xu just said it casually and did not continue to talk about it. He was distracted from playing things and had no interest in these things.

"After the wedding, you were indeed much more stable and didn't run around!"

Zhao Xu smiled and said:

"You have learned martial arts for many years, but have you heard of the Duan family in Dali?"

Xiong Qi was a little surprised. Why did he talk about the Dali Duan family? He said:

"I have heard that Dali Chinese studies and the Song Dynasty governed the country with etiquette. The Duan family is a good martial arts lineage and has many interactions with people from the martial arts world!"

"Um!"

Zhao Xu nodded and said:

"Now that Xixia has suffered a setback, his arrogance has been greatly reduced. However, I concluded that he would not give up, so I intend to join forces with Dali to send troops!"

Xiong Qi was stunned and said:

"Dali country is a small country with weak strength, the royal family has always been good at Buddhism, and it is separated from Xixia from Sichuan and Shu. I guess they are not willing to send troops!"

"Dali is located in the southern part of Western Xia. If we can send troops to help, the pressure on the Song Dynasty will be much less!"

Zhao Xu said:

"Of course, it doesn't matter whether Dali sends troops, but it's best to send troops together. Xiaojiu, you are also a martial arts practitioner, and you are the prince of the Song Dynasty. Your identity is the same as that of the Dali king!"

After slowing down, Zhao Xu continued:

"I intend to ask you to go to Dali to join us. As a military man, you should be able to talk to them!"

"It's best to persuade Dali to send troops together. It's okay if you can't, but you have to pay attention to whether they have secretly colluded with Xixia and Tubo!"

Xiong Qi thought about it and found that this task was not difficult, so he immediately responded.

Zhao Xu's starting point is correct, but he doesn't know much about Dali.

The Emperor Duan Zhengming of Dali has actually led the monks to become a monk. Now the expert in picking up girls is Duan Zhengchun, the king of Zhennan, who is not a person who likes to fight and kill. It is unlikely that he will send troops with the Song Dynasty, but he will not secretly communicate with the Western Xia and Tubo.

But another reason Xiong Qi wanted to go to Dali was that he was very interested in the six-mechanical divine sword that could transform internal force into a sword-like sword.

Zhao Xu called the eunuch to issue the imperial edict, and then Xiong Qi said goodbye.

He left the palace with the imperial edict. Xiong Qi sat in the sedan chair and walked towards Prince Shen's mansion under the escort of the "Iron Uniform Guard".

When I arrived at the chess hall, I saw the crowds of people in the chess hall from afar through the gate. Xiong Qi smiled slightly and couldn't help but remember the past when he broke the "Zhenlong" chess game that day.

The person who hosted the chess hall was Fan Bailing, who was fascinated by Go. When he watched the chess game, he almost died of vomiting blood at the 'Zhenlong' game.

Since the establishment of the chess hall, Fan Bailing has almost never left his home and has been staying in the chess hall, fighting with various experts who have visited, and is very famous in the capital.

Xiong Qi became interested and ordered the sedan chair to stop. The "Iron Uniform Guard" was waiting outside and took He An in.

As soon as I entered, I found that many of the chess rooms inside were empty, and everyone was crowded in the chess room in the middle. I immediately knew that there were masters of the national level playing chess.

There are many independent small rooms in the chess hall, each with a chess board for Go enthusiasts to play chess. At this moment, no one plays chess and they all go to watch. Naturally, there are masters playing chess.

Most of the people here are literati and scholars in the capital, including many people with official figures. Xiong Qigang left the palace and was very conspicuous in princely clothes, and was recognized immediately.

‘The Palace of King Shen is coming down, everyone will give in!’

Someone said, and everyone was leaving the way. Xiong Qi bowed to his left and right to thank him, and then came to the chess game.

One of the two people playing chess was Fan Bailing, and the other was a 15 or 16-year-old boy with a handsome and handsome appearance, holding a dark spot in his hand and pondering.

Xiong Qi recognized this young man at a glance. Zhao Ji, the king of Jian, was also Song Huizong in the original time and space.

Of course, Zhao Ji was a mess when he became an emperor. Jing Kang's shame was about him, but it is undeniable that he had a profound foundation in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

The famous "Slim Gold Body" in later generations was founded by him. Putting aside the emperor's identity, he is also a great master in terms of calligraphy, after thousands of years in China.

However, Zhao Ji is obviously not at the level he later, and his chess is still immature compared to Fan Bailing. Although both sides are not sure of the winner, it can be seen from the fact that he has to think about each son for a long time.

Despite this, it is also amazing. The chess hall has been opened for more than a year and many chess masters in the capital have been here, but it is very rare that they can be stalemate with the 'chess demon' Fan Bailing for so long.

Others thought Xiong Qi was watching chess, but no one knew that he was not at all on the chessboard at this moment.

Staring at Zhao Ji's handsome face, Xiong Qi's thoughts were filled with thoughts.

No matter what, he would never allow Zhao Ji to be the emperor, but Xiong Qi had not yet thought about what to do with Zhao Ji.

It’s a pity to kill it. After all, he is a rare artistic genius. Zhao Ji is not suitable for power, but he is completely competent to be a folk artist.

After pondering for a long time, Xiong Qi's eyes moved away from Zhao Ji's face and turned to the chessboard.

On the chessboard, black and white pieces are intertwined, extremely complicated. How can he understand his amateur level?

After a long time, Zhao Ji sighed, put down the dark spot in his hand, and said:

"Sir, the chess is unfathomable, and I feel as if I am not as good as I am!"

"hey-hey!"

Fan Bailing laughed a few times, feeling a little satisfied, but she didn't dare to underestimate the boy on the other side. It was not because of the other party's identity, but because of the boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, his chess skills were not far from him.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw Xiong Qi beside him, Fan Bailing quickly stood up and said:

"I've seen His Highness King Shen!"

Xiong Qi specifically explained that it is not allowed to be called a master in public, so when outsiders are present, Su Xinghe and his subordinates are called "Your Highness".

Zhao Ji also saw Xiong Qi, waved his hand and said:

"Brother Jiu, are you here too? Come on, let's play in a game. I heard from Mr. Fan that your chess skills are far better than him. I have never seen them yet!"

Xiong Qi smiled slightly, he would not be unhappy, and said immediately:

"Let's talk about it later. I just received the imperial edict of the emperor. I don't have time. You guys, I'll go!"

After saying that, he waved his hand and Xiong Qi turned around and left.

Since the establishment of the chess house, His Highness Shen, the legendary master of chess, has never shown his profound chess path, and today is naturally no exception.

When he returned to Prince Shen's mansion, the "Iron Uniform Guard" automatically dispersed and passed through the front mansion. Xiong Qi came to the inner mansion.

"A thief, look at the sword!"
