Liu Yi didn't have time to thank him a few times after receiving Yang Bofang's kindness a few times, so he brought more gifts to him when he came to the door. Although he knew that Yang Bofang would not care about these things, Liu Yi did this in terms of politeness and in his heart.

After being invited to the house by his servants, Yang Bofang was sitting there smiling. Liu Yi took two steps forward and bowed to Yang Bofang and said, "I have seen Uncle Yang, I wish you an early life here. May Uncle Yang be healthy and safe in the new year."

Yang Bofang ordered the servants to serve tea, and said to Liu Yi with a smile: "Haha, you are interested. Let's sit there, I don't need so much politeness, just be more casual."

"Well, thank you Uncle Yang." Liu Yiu sat down on a chair where Yang Bofang was heading.

Yang Bofang said: "It's rare that you can come to see me today. This is your second time to come to my house. I remember that you were less than seven years old when your father brought you here last time."

"Uncle Yang is really good at remembering. None of these past events can be remembered." Liu Yiunran said. Even normal people may not remember clearly when he was seven years old, let alone he is a person who has passed through it. So he can only choose to pretend to be confused about some past events.

"Haha, no wonder, you were too young at that time, and it was normal for you to remember." Yang Bofang picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, and said, "In a blink of an eye, you are an adult, and it will be eighteen after the New Year, right? Well, you should have your own fields and women. When I was as old as you, I had two sons. Haha, you have to work hard!"

"Uh" Liu Yi picked up the tea bowl awkwardly, put it beside her mouth and took a sip.

Yang Bofang laughed at Liu Yi's defeated look. However, he did not mention this matter wisely. After Liu Yi put down the tea bowl, he said again: "I have never had the chance to talk for a long time before. Today I have free time. How about our uncle and nephew talk together?"

"Hei Baizi?" Liu Yi's face became bitter and said, "Uncle Yang, if you want to play chess, I can take a few more steps. If it is Go, I'd better forget it. I'll be dizzy when I see Hei Baizi."

"Oh? You can't play Go?" Yang Bofang was very surprised. He heard that Liu Yi was quite literary, so why couldn't he even play national chess? So he said, "Since that's the case, let's play a few games of chess. I have chessboards and chess pieces at home."

Liu Yi nodded, but when he saw the chessboard and chess pieces he brought up by the servant, Liu Yi was stunned.

There are eighty-percent chessboards? There are only five types of soldiers: generals, officials, chariots, horses, and pawns? Where is the elephant? Where is the cannon? And the Chu River and Han Realm, why are there no one? How can I play this?

"Uncle Yang, this" Liu Yi pointed at the chessboard on the table, not knowing how to start.

Seeing Liu's strange look, Yang Bofang spoke, "What, is there anything wrong with this?" After looking at the chessboard, he said, "No, there are a lot of chess pieces, and there are no missing chessboards."

Liu Yi bowed and said, "Uncle Yang, that seems to be a bit inconsistent with what my teacher teaches?" Liu Yi had no choice but to push the problem to his cheap master.

"Oh?" Yang Bofang guessed: "Is your teacher teaching ancient chess? Well, that's okay. Let's remove the official position and become. The ancient chess only has four types of troops: general, chariot, horse, and pawn, but there is no big change in the chessboard."

"Go to another son?" Liu Yiuan didn't know what to say. Wouldn't it be even more difficult to play again? He hurriedly said: "My teacher is not teaching ancient chess, and there seem to be two more troops on the chessboard than now."

"Oh?" Yang Bofang became interested. It was easy to understand the two fewer sons, but how should he do it? He said to Liu Yi: "Let's talk about it, how are you planning the chess you are learning?"

Liu Yi pointed to the chessboard and said, "First of all, there are nine vertical and ten horizontally on the chessboard. There are Chu River and Han boundaries between the two armies. When attacking, you must first cross these two defense lines. Secondly, there are thirty-two chess pieces, and each side of the chess is twelve. The red side: one leader, two stamina, two chariot, two chariot, horse, and two squads, and five soldiers. The black side: one general, two chariot, two chariot, horse, and two squads."

"Xianghe cannon?" Yang Bofang asked: "Xiang is easy to understand. He is a helper, but what is that cannon?"

"As Uncle Yang said, the prime minister is a supporter, and like the same officials, he can only move in the same direction, walk through the nine palaces, and walk through the earthen fields. As for cannons, they are powerful tools for siege cities, the same as siege (pǎo, ancient stone casting carts and other things). Uncle Yang can regard him as a siege. He only walks in a straight line and needs someone to build it before he can start."

Yang Bofang thought for a while and said, "It's rigorous to hear you talk about it. Just draw them and our uncle and nephew will go to the game and see how it will be."

"Of course!" Liu Yi's response. He asked Yang Bofang for paper and pen and drew the modern chess pattern on paper. Then he explained to Yang Bofang in detail how to move and function. He heard Yang Bofang's eyebrows and looked at him, and immediately ordered his servants to draw on Liu Yi's paper and make corresponding chessboards and chess pieces.

Because there were only eight pieces, they made it very quickly. With just one cup of tea, the staff took up the prepared chessboard and pieces.

Liu Yi and Yang Bofang sat on both sides, and Liu Yi said, "Uncle Yang, please ask first!"

Because it was the first time to play this type of chess, Yang Bofang was not polite to Liu Yi. Both sides took out a car and drove and killed a lot. The result is conceivable, Liu Yi won a big victory.

However, while walking, Yang Bofang was also familiar with the rules of chess routines and his combat power gradually increased.

"Haha, one thing is that respecting teachers is really a talent! It is really admirable to think of such a wonderful chess game! I wonder what the name of respecting teachers is?" Yang Bofang could appreciate the more he could understand the essence of it and couldn't help but admire it.

Liu Yi replied: "My teacher's name is not convenient to mention it, but my teacher's surname is Tang, and he is called Taohua Temple Master, and he is from Jiangnan."

"Master of Taohua Temple? Why haven't you heard anyone mention it?" Yang Bofang frowned and had no impression at all. Then he asked Liu Yi: "I don't know where the respectful teacher is now? I'll go to him to ask for chess skills in the next day."

Liu You pretended to be sad and said, "My teacher has passed away for many years."

"What a pity," Yang Bofang sighed: "It's a great regret for being able to teach students like you and create such a novel way of playing chess, and you can't meet them!"

Liu Yi didn't say anything, but just silently placed the chess pieces on the chessboard.

Seeing this, Yang Bofang reached out and pushed the chessboard and said, "Let's stop here today. I've been running out for so long. Let's talk about it. I know that you're here today, besides seeing me, there are other things to talk about."
