Chapter 28: Who plays chess without wearing a helmet!

Outside the imperial palace, a carriage drove slowly.

Sitting in the carriage, Princess Yingxing held Zhang Cheng's shoulder: "Husband, what is making you frown? Is it because the Emperor scolded you?"

"No, the Emperor and I have a great relationship!"

Looking at Princess Yingxing awkwardly, Zhang Cheng turned his head with a guilty conscience.

Because after the eye contact in Zichen Hall, Zhang Cheng finally reacted to where he had seen this "brother-in-law"—it was Heaven on Earth!

He never thought that the thick-browed and big-eyed Zhao Zhen also liked to play exciting games, and he was even bad at it but loved to play!

Situ Yaozu's master's secret recipe, and the "blue pills" he had exchanged from the system, were basically all bought by this guy!

"Really, Husband?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng with curiosity, Princess Yingxing began to doubt him.

"Of course!"

Looking at Princess Yingxing with a face full of smiles, Zhang Cheng wiped cold sweat: "It's over, I shouldn't be assassinated by the Imperial City Guard, right!"

Inside Zichen Hall,

Zhao Zhen was also wiping cold sweat.

Because it was fortunate that Zhang Cheng had reacted quickly just now; otherwise, if Bao Zheng had seen any flaws, he would have been in trouble.

Thinking of Bao Zheng's combat power, which could completely rival the Censorate, Zhao Zhen felt a chill down his back.

No, he had to go to Heaven on Earth to relax tonight, otherwise, he would be prematurely aged by these government affairs sooner or later!

But just as Zhao Zhen intended to call the inner eunuch, Wang An ran in: "Your Majesty, this is a gift from the Prince Consort!"

"Oh, what kind of things are these?"

Gazing at the items on the tray, Zhao Zhen sat on the dragon chair on the side and opened a bottle of cola.

"Whoosh!"

As the iced cola bubbled, Zhao Zhen took a refreshing drink and immediately felt his body and mind relax.

"Your Majesty, this is a diamond card for Heaven on Earth presented by the Prince Consort, no need to pay for consumption..."

Just as Wang An finished speaking, Zhao Zhen's eyes shone: "No need to pay?"

"Of course, this is the Prince Consort's heartfelt intention!"

Looking at Zhao Zhen with a face full of smiles, Wang An touched the glass bead in his sleeve, feeling very happy.

"My brother-in-law is thoughtful!"

Speaking with gratification, Zhao Zhen revealed a happy expression.

Watching Zhao Zhen, who had just been calling him Prince Consort and now brother-in-law, Wang An also laughed.

After all, Zhao Zhen, as the Emperor, although he possessed the four seas, his ability to be frugal was something no one could compare to!

Even so, Wang An was the one who paid for the consumption at Heaven on Earth!

Wang An: Going to the pleasure house is one thing, but making a eunuch pay—this is... heartbreaking!

Zhao Zhen: I thought family members didn't need to pay!

Zhang Cheng: .

Heaven on Earth, office,

as two maids pushed open the door, Princess Yingxing walked in.

Looking at Princess Yingxing, Wang Erya and Situ Yaozu quickly stood up: "Greetings, Princess!"

"No need to be polite, we are all family, Cousin, feel free!"

Looking at Situ Yaozu with a face full of smiles, Princess Yingxing spoke gently.

"Thank you, Princess!"

Hearing Princess Yingxing's words, Situ Yaozu could not help but look at Wang Erya, as if saying, look, how amazing my cousin is!

Facing Situ Yaozu's showing off, Wang Erya turned her head with annoyance.

But just at this moment, Zhang Cheng, who had walked in, said: "You guys chat first, if you're bored, go to the game room, I'm going to talk business!"

"Okay, Cousin, leave it to me here!"

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Situ Yaozu laughed quickly.

Leaving the top floor, Zhang Cheng came to the conference room below.

Seeing Zhang Cheng appear, Niu Er quickly stepped forward: "Master, the people who came are from the Pu family! Their business overseas is very broad, and the exotic dancers provided this time were sent by them..."

"Pu family?"

Hearing this name, Zhang Cheng squinted his eyes.

Because he always felt this name was very familiar!

Arriving in a small room on the side, Zhang Cheng finally saw the Pu family.

But seeing the other party wearing a headscarf, Zhang Cheng's mouth twitched because weren't these Arabs?

Arabs, Pu family?

Connecting these two key pieces of information, Zhang Cheng finally understood why it sounded familiar.

Because wasn't this the Pu family "guide" who betrayed Wen Tianxiang and Lu Xiufu in the late Southern Song Dynasty?

And in history, the only family to be executed to the third degree was the Pu

"Greetings, Prince Consort!"

With a respectful smile on his face, the head of the Pu family appeared very happy,

for once they could do business with such a big shot, it would be crucial for the development of their Pu family in the Great Song!

"Sit!"

Extending his hand politely, Zhang Cheng gestured for the head of the Pu family to sit down and talk,

"I have brought over thirty foreign women this time; their appearances have been carefully selected, and I guarantee they are top-tier."

Clapping his hands, as soon as the head of the Pu family finished speaking, a group of women were dragged in.

Looking at the chains on their ankles and wrists, Zhang Cheng narrowed his eyes and said, "Not bad. Pull off their veils!"

Stepping forward, Niu Er directly pulled off the veil of one of the women.

Looking at the woman who resembled a golden-haired cat, with emerald eyes and wavy hair, Zhang Cheng clapped his hands and said, "Good, very good! My Great Song needs talents like the head of the Pu family!"

"Then, about the money?"

Rubbing his hands, the head of the Pu family looked at Zhang Cheng, appearing very excited,

because since the business deal was settled, the money that followed...

"Ah, no rush. Before that, let's play a game of chess first. The head of the Pu family should know how, right?"

Looking at the head of the Pu family with a face full of smiles, Zhang Cheng asked.

"Since the Prince Consort is so interested, I am naturally willing to accompany you!"

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, the head of the Pu family hurriedly laughed.

Not long after, the chessboard was set up.

Zhang Cheng casually placed two pieces and said, "I wonder how many ships the Pu family has overseas?"

"Six large ships, enough to cross the ocean. In the future, if the Prince Consort has any needs, my Pu family will certainly serve you!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng earnestly, the head of the Pu family explained.

And just as he finished this sentence, he placed a chess piece down and said, "Cut!"

"Hmm?"

Raising his head, Zhang Cheng looked at the head of the Pu family, his eyes flashing with a fierce light, and said, "You dare to cut my move? I, damn it, am a 'Godly Move' player!"

Hearing this strange "technique," the head of the Pu family watched Zhang Cheng with a twitching mouth. Before he could react, he saw Zhang Cheng grab the large chessboard and smash it fiercely onto his head.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

As the chess pieces flew everywhere, the foreign women on the side were also too scared to speak.

"Cutting my move—if you dare to cut my move today, wouldn't you dare to take my life tomorrow!"

Saying this, Zhang Cheng threw the blood-stained chessboard onto the ground and said, "Pah, what kind of status do you think you have, wanting money? When I was smuggling, I didn't even pay money. Niu Er, drag him away and dispose of him!"

"Yes, Master!"

Watching the head of the Pu family lying in a pool of blood, motionless, Niu Er skillfully grabbed his ankles and left,

because did the head of the Pu family not know that his master, Zhang Cheng, was known as the Chess Saint of the Great Song? That 'Godly Move' of his was something no one could block!

Liu Qi: Ahem, I am the Chess Saint of the Great Han!

Prince of Wu, Liu Xian: ...

Zhang Cheng: In this day and age, who doesn't wear a helmet when playing chess!

After dealing with the head of the Pu family, Zhang Cheng turned around and said, "Tell them to stay and work to earn money to go back!"

Shivering as he stood on the side, the translator brought by the head of the Pu family explained tremblingly,

because facing this Great Song Chess Saint and Prince Consort, he was also terrified!
