Chapter 529 - 473: Entering the Capital City_2
Nobles or bureaucrats, over the course of more than three hundred years in Da Rong, inside the Capital City, with comings and goings too numerous to count.
At the very moment when Yang Zhenshan entered the Capital City, quite a few nobles received the news.
Duke Ning Mansion.
Inside the quaint and old-fashioned warm pavilion, Zhou Mao was playing chess against an elder with white hair.
The two old men were so evenly matched in their game whether for the black or white pieces.
A stout man came in from outside, seeing them quietly playing chess, he did not disturb them but simply stood aside quietly waiting.
After about the time it takes for a pot of tea, Zhou Mao tossed the chess piece in his hand onto the chessboard, looking quite helpless, he said: "All these years, this old man has never won against you!"
The elder on the opposite side stroked his white beard and laughed, "I’ve told you long ago, even if you practiced for another hundred years, you’d still be no match for me!"
Listening to his mocking words, Zhou Mao wasn’t angry. He picked up his teacup, took a light sip, and then looked towards the stout man.
The stout man stepped forward immediately, whispering: "Marquis Jing’an has entered the city!"
Zhou Mao nodded imperceptibly, then waved his hand to signal that the stout man could leave.
