Chapter 8: The Trap

The steward led Lin to the pavilion, only to see the brightly lit and prosperous leaves and flowers, and the zigzag verandah leading to the lake in front of the pavilion, looking at it from afar, it was a beautiful view.

"Childe, I brought people here." The steward respectfully stood on one side, "This man has won the chess game." ”

Lin was a little embarrassed to touch his head, and explained: "I have only learned a little bit about chess with my grandfather since I was a child. There was silence in the pavilion for a while, and then, the bead curtain was raised, and a man in green clothes strolled out, with a face like a crown of jade, and under the tall eyebrows were a pair of slightly light brown eyes, as if they were whirlpools, enough to make people fall into it, the thin lip flaps were slightly hooked, as if smiling but not smiling, and the gestures were noble and elegant.

What a beautiful man! Lin suddenly looked straight and motionless.

Gao Lian was going up the steps, met Lin Ran's clear eyes, and hooked the corners of his lips mockingly.

This should be the owner of the chess club!

"Childe, this is the boy who won the gamble just now." The steward introduced him.

"Oh, is it? What is it called? Gao Lian walked over, his body was straight, his steps were gentle, he had a graceful and luxurious temperament, exuding the charm of a mature man. He looked at Lin Ran quietly, lifted his robe and made a gesture to sit down.

"Hu Fei." Lin Yuran replied without hesitation, she deliberately used the name of the person in the Flying Fox in the Snow Mountain, and she couldn't find her if she wanted to find her.

"I really didn't expect that Hu Gongzi was so young and his chess skills were so good." He smiled and said lightly, the man's voice was very good, like a pool of clear spring water, just the right amount of unhurriedness.

"Hehe, it's just a coincidence." Lin suddenly blushed slightly and sat down gently.

"Oh? Since it's a coincidence, why don't we just gamble on it? Let's see how much strength you have? Gao Lian looked at Lin Ran, and said with a smile graceful and kind, his smile made Lin Ranran, who has always liked beautiful men, nod involuntarily.

The man pressed a button, and a chessboard carved from jade rose in the center of the stone table, the chess pieces were carved from fine white jade and agate, and the font on it was clearly visible.

"Bet on what?" Lin suddenly swallowed his saliva and asked curiously.

"It's very simple, as long as you can beat me within five steps, I'll add another two hundred taels of gold, and if you lose, then I can only invite you to the organ room to have a good time." Gao Lian looked at Lin Ran quietly and smiled.

Organ room? It can't be a trap, right? Lin suddenly glanced at the man's meaningful eyes, and there was a sense of uncertainty in his heart.

"There are dozens of mechanisms in the room, and very few people make it out alive." The steward on the side explained calmly, as if to say that the weather was good today.

When he said this, Lin Ranran's heart swished, and she tightened it very tightly, and she didn't know martial arts, wasn't it obvious that she was pierced into a hornet's nest? The only way to do that is to beat him, what if he loses? Her eyes rolled, and her mind raced to thought.

The two eyes stared at the jade plate on the table, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed, and his hands slapped suddenly, "For the sake of you being the master and I am the guest, you must have my third son, and if I win, I also want the chessboard on your table." ”

If you want to die, you have to be a rich ghost, Lin suddenly thought to himself.

As soon as she finished speaking, the steward standing on Gao Lian's side frowned slightly.

Gao Lian looked at the young man's confident face, raised his eyebrows, and said with a faint smile: "Yes, as long as you can beat me." ”

"Okay, that's a deal."

There are a total of 14 pieces on the jade board, including 6 white pieces and 8 red pieces, and it is obvious that this is also an unfinished chess game.

After Gao Lian let her three sons, the man took the lead in holding the white chess: "Rook four into one." ”

Lin suddenly fought back without showing weakness: "Five will be six draws." ”

Unconsciously, this game of chess was played quickly, and the steward who was originally standing on Gao Lian's side couldn't help but get anxious, and he had to enter the palace to face the saint later, but he was worried that he would break the master's rules, so he could only stand aside and be anxious. Lin suddenly smiled quietly, and finally won the chess game with one move: Shi Liu retreated five.

"How? You've got no moves left, and if I'm not mistaken, it should be exactly five moves. Lin Ranran's clear eyes revealed a faint sense of pride.

"Wonderful chess." Glancing at the chess game where red chess obviously had the upper hand, Gao Lian smiled softly, his voice clear and beautiful, "Complete, prepare seven hundred taels of gold and a chessboard for this little brother." ”

"Yes." The steward respectfully withdrew. Lin Ran's eyes lit up, although she tried her best to hide the ecstasy in her heart, her lips still couldn't help but rise up, but the smile on her face slowly became calm.

"Childe, I have a reluctant request." Lin suddenly stood up and arched his hand and said.

"Huh?"

"Can you exchange seven hundred taels of gold into a silver ticket, and I will go to the money bank to withdraw the money in three days." Lin said aloud, after all, seven hundred taels of gold is not a small amount, especially winning the gamble in front of everyone, it is estimated that as soon as she left this store, her little life will be gone.

Gao Lian hooked the corners of his lips mockingly: "I can't imagine that Xiao'er values life so much, and he is really not a big husband." Lin Ranran's face turned white, and she smiled embarrassedly, her little caution was seen through by him at a glance.

"But I'm a real villain." Lin suddenly thought about it, she was originally a girl, she was not a big husband, so why should she be ashamed of him.

"Huh!" The man smiled softly, obviously Lin Ran's last sentence pleased him, "Complete, do as he tells him." ”

When she happily left with the chessboard, Steward Qi stood back beside Gao Lian, couldn't help frowning, and stopped talking a little.

"What do you want to say?" Gao Lian glanced at him lightly.

"Young Master, is this appropriate? In addition to giving him money, you even gave him this game of chess, which was given to you by the queen mother. "Steward Qi doesn't understand, this chessboard was built by the queen with a lot of effort, how could the master give it away casually, if the queen knows, the matter can be big or small.

Those deep eyes glanced at Lin Ran's cheerful back lightly, and after a while, he retracted his gaze, his thin lips moved, and he slightly hooked up a sneer: "Since he is bent on seeking wealth, why don't I fulfill him?" ”

Steward Qi looked at the unclear smile on his master's face, shuddered deeply, and really pinched a cold sweat for the young man, did he know that the bottom of that jade was engraved with the seal of the queen's maiden's name! If you're not careful, you might even get killed.
