I Just Won't Play By The Book
chapter-330

Mo Xia blinked twice. After confirming that she did not hear wrongly, she nodded and said,""Good! I will definitely work hard!"

"You're very confident." Jiang Beiran smiled.

Mo Xia scratched his head and whispered,"Confidence…" I don't have much confidence, but I'll work hard!"

"Alright, let's play another round." Jiang Beiran said as he looked at the chessboard that had been cleaned up.

"Yes, sir!"

Jiang Beiran suddenly had this idea because Mo Xia looked like a very useful tool. Secondly, someone who could play Go so well must be smart. Unless it was a weirdo like Qing Huan, it shouldn't be too difficult to cultivate.

In addition, there were more and more problems he had to deal with now, and he really didn't have enough followers. It was rare to find a good one, so there was no harm in trying it out.

The two of them continued to play until daybreak. Thinking that they still had to meet the chiefs later, Jiang Beiran covered the chess box and said,""Let's stop here today."

Although Mo Xia still wanted more, he still bowed and thanked her,""Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother."

Mo Xia picked up his chessboard and was about to leave when he heard his senior brother shouting.

"Wait a moment."

"Senior Brother, do you have any other instructions?" Mo Xia turned around and asked.

"This Ying Long Chessboard is for you."Jiang Beiran picked up the chessboard and said.

"Ah?" Mo Xia was stunned for a moment and quickly waved her hand."No merit, no reward. This is too valuable."

"You haven't slept for a night. Do you feel tired now?"Jiang Beiran asked.

"This…" Mo Xia was a little shocked when she heard that and replied,""Not only did he not, but he was also very energetic."

"Mn, this is the use of this Ying Long Chessboard. In the future, you will need to play chess as well as cultivate. This chessboard should be able to help you a lot."

"But…"

"No buts. Take it. You played well in the previous few rounds. Keep up the good work and let me enjoy more of these interesting matches."

Mo Xia clenched his fists and nodded when he heard his senior brother's firm tone.""I definitely won't let you down!"

After saying that, he took the chessboard with both hands and bowed to Jiang Beiran.""Thank you, Senior Brother."

"Okay, go ahead."

"Yes, Senior Brother, you should rest early too."

Mo Xia then pushed open the door and left the house.

The moment he closed the door, Mo Xia hugged the Ying Long Chessboard and spun it around a few times. Thinking about how he would be able to play with his senior brother once every three days and the chance to play more, he was so excited that he couldn't contain himself.

"Hiss!"

Just as he was feeling excited, Mo Xia suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, as if he was being stared at by something extremely terrifying.

Mo Xia hurriedly looked around in panic. When he saw that there was no one around, he quickly hid the chessboard and ran back to his house.

Si Shi.

Jiang Beiran arrived at Cang Tao City in a horse carriage. As the largest city in Lulin County, Cang Tao City was one of the most prosperous cities in the entire Feng Province.

However, prosperity was only limited to this world. For Jiang Beiran, who had lived in a metropolis in the 21st century, this Cang Tao City could be said to be dirty and chaotic.

The muddy roads were filled with people, dogs, and pigs urinating and defecating everywhere. When Jiang Beiran first came to this world, he was almost vomited by the smell. However, after getting used to it, his nose seemed to automatically block out the smell. At the very least, it was not as pungent as before.

The side of the road was filled with a mountain of trash and waste. At a glance, it was not a problem to call this a trash mountain.

Jiang Beiran had found it strange before. The farmers in this world understood the importance of fertilisation, and the highly profitable profession of scavengers was born. Logically speaking, cities should not be so dirty and messy, or at least, they should not be covered in feces.

However, no matter which era it was, there was no shortage of " smart " people. These scavengers would often deliberately not clear away the feces in time for the sake of exorbitant prices. When the feces piled up like a mountain, the citizens who could not stand it could only pinch their noses and agree to the various harsh demands of the scavengers.

As for why the government didn't care, the evil feudal society didn't have a municipal department, let alone an environmental protection bureau.

Taking a hundred steps back, even if there was an environmental protection bureau, there would still be places to throw trash everywhere in the 21st century, let alone here.

" Soon, soon, there will be a cement road to the city.'

Jiang Beiran lowered the curtain and imagined the city no longer being muddy and filthy.

'That should be able to bring back some of the taste of home…'

After driving through the complicated roads, the carriage stopped in front of a luxurious mansion. This was the place where the Returning Heart Sect's envoys were usually received. The interior decoration and equipment were all top-notch in this era.

After all, the Returning Heart Sect was the true " emperor " to all the local families in Feng Province.

As soon as he got out of the car, Jiang Beiran saw a middle-aged man in a large coat kneel down in front of him and shout,""This commoner welcomes Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty."

If it was the previous emperor, this middle-aged man would have given him face by not rolling his eyes, let alone kneeling.

After all, he was a seventh-grade official in front of the Prime Minister. As a peripheral member of the Returning Heart Sect, would he be afraid of the Emperor? You dare to offend me?

However, Jiang Beiran was different. Not only was he the emperor, but he was also a disciple of the Returning Heart Sect. Even Lord Bai Shan had specially instructed him to receive them well. If there was a slight mistake, his entire family would be exiled.

With such an order, the middle-aged man was naturally filled with fear and trepidation. He took out a hundred and twenty percent of his enthusiasm to receive the new Emperor of the Sheng Kingdom.

"Get up. Is the reception room ready?"Jiang Beiran asked.

"We are ready. As you instructed, we are all of the highest standards."

"Alright, bring me to take a look."

"Yes, this way please."

Under the middle-aged man's lead, Jiang Beiran came to a living room. There were glass cups, all kinds of gold, porcelain, ivory carvings, and everything else. It could be said to be magnificent.

"Not bad."

"Thank you for your praise, Emperor." The middle-aged man hurriedly bowed.
