Chapter 74: The Man Who Played Chess

Thinking about what Qi Yibing said about the Duan family, after Lu Ran went downstairs, his brows furrowed.

Naturally, Lu Ran was not afraid, he was just thinking, can he find a way to kill the Duan family first?

Lu Ran thought about it while walking on the streets of Gyeongju Mansion.

But suddenly, Lu Ran paused, and his waist and clothes were pulled.

Lu Ran looked back and saw An Ning's expression slightly uneasy, and his big eyes were full of fear.

"What's wrong?" Lu Ran leaned over slightly, asking with concern on his face.

An Ning's two little hands hugged Lu Ran's neck, and her voice trembled slightly: "An Ning, I'm afraid!"

"What are you afraid of?" Lu Ran said with a smile, but he was even more puzzled in his heart.

An Ning was just trembling, but she didn't speak.

Lu Ran frowned, and glanced around a few times, but he didn't find any strange people or existences.

Suddenly, Lu Ran turned around with a feeling, but he inadvertently met a pair of emotionless eyes, and seeing Lu Ran's opinion, the owner of those eyes also moved slightly, and disappeared into the crowd.

"Is this the person?" Lu Ran asked An Ning, but An Ning didn't answer, but was still trembling.

Lu Ran also stopped asking An Ning who was hanging around his neck for the time being, and planned to wait for An Ning to calm down before asking, but he himself chased after the person who disappeared into the crowd.

At this moment, there were suddenly snowflakes in the sky.

One by one, they fell to the ground like goose feathers.

A scholar with a thick stack of books in his hand walked on the streets of Gyeongju Mansion with a blue face, his lips were purple, his whole body seemed to be shivering from the cold, and he was even more stumbling when he walked.

But the people around him seemed to be ignoring him, and no one noticed his strangeness.

Suddenly, the scholar looked up and saw Lu Ran walking quickly in the crowd, a trace of strangeness flashed in his eyes, and then, he suddenly began to run, as if chasing Lu Ran.

Just when an old farmer was pushing a vegetable cart, thinking that the scholar would directly hit it, he passed directly through the vegetable cart and passed through the old farmer, and there was no collision at all.

And looking at the old peasant's expression, it seemed that he was unaware of everything.

At this moment, the wind and snow seemed to be a little faster, and the pedestrians on the street clenched their jackets and hurried to their homes.

......

......

South of Gyeongju Province, on the shore of Namhu Lake.

In an elegant courtyard, two thinly dressed old men were playing against each other in the courtyard, ignoring the snowflakes falling from the sky.

As soon as one of the old men dropped a word, he suddenly frowned and said, "Brother Sang, shouldn't you be in the Hanging Mirror Tower to monitor the movements of all parts of the Gyeongju Mansion to prevent strange ghosts and demons from entering the city?"

The voice fell, and another person walked into the small courtyard, it was Sang Shanlong.

Hearing this, Sang Shanlong's face showed a touch of disdain, and said: "The last strange ghost just appeared a few days ago, and if the next strange ghost reappears, it will be at least next month, I just left for a while, why are you so excited now?"

The other two guards who were playing chess looked up at the same time and looked at each other.

One of the red-faced old men immediately said with some anger: "Originally, after you, the old man should be in charge of this time, but you yourself said that you still have a strange ghost essence and want to exchange orders to guard for me, but what is the matter with you now?

Hearing this, Sang Shanlong said impatiently: "Why is Bao De so excited about you, an old ghost, even if something really happens, I Sang Shanlong should be responsible for myself, and I won't put the responsibility on your head!"

"Is the old man telling you about responsibility? As the guards of Gyeongju Prefecture, you and I have the responsibility to be responsible for the people of this side! If we let strange ghosts infiltrate the city because of my negligence, resulting in the destruction of lives, how can you and I be worthy of the name of this town guard?" The red-faced old man named Bao Dehui was even more annoyed, and his face seemed to turn even redder.

Sang Shanlong no longer paid attention to Bao Dehui, but looked at the other old man, and said lightly: "Xu Zhiru, can you still sit still now? I don't believe you haven't heard of the recent events in the city?"

"Sang Laogou, don't change the topic!" Bao Dehui slapped the chessboard angrily and stood up directly.

Xu Zhiru, who had been looking at the chessboard, suddenly raised his head and said angrily: "Bao Dehui, you old ghost, you can't play if you can't play! What do you mean by slapping the chessboard! The chess pieces are all messed up!"

"The old dog has run out of the Hanging Mirror Building, what kind of chess are you playing!" said Bower would look indignant.

"Old Ghost Bao, don't pretend to be jealous and hateful, what kind of character are you, we don't know?" Sang Shanlong's face showed a touch of disgust, and then said, "Lu Ran, who has made a lot of trouble in the city recently, and has gathered dozens of martial artists, he is Fu Zefang and Yi Songyuan's people, you don't know it, right?"

Hearing this, Xu Zhiru and Bao Dehui were silent.

"Yellow-mouthed child, why bother?" said Bao Dehui, snorting coldly.

Xu Zhiru glanced at Sang Shanlong and said with a smile: "What are Sang Zhenshou's plans, why don't you tell us directly?"

"According to the rules, the three of us can't make a move against Lu Ran, otherwise Fu Zefang and Yi Songyuan will have a reason to make a direct move, and in the end, if there is a situation where so many of our fifth-floor qi refiners are fighting, I am afraid that it will make the above extremely dissatisfied...... Therefore, I hope that the two of you can let the Jianghu Gang under your command take action together, and kill this Lu Ran together with my Feihong Gang, and strangle everything in the cradle!" Sang Shanlong said with a deep groan.

Xu Zhiru squinted his eyes and said, "Could it be that Sang Zhenshou thinks that just relying on the Feihong Gang can't deal with that young man?"

"It's a bit difficult to rely on Rayong alone. Sang Shanlong responded.

Hearing this, Bao Dehui sneered: "Are you Sang Lao Dog afraid that your Feihong Gang will fight with this Lu Ran and suffer some damage, and then the two of us will take advantage of the situation and encroach on your Sang Lao Gou's interests, right?"

In this regard, Sang Shanlong was noncommittal and did not answer.

Xu Zhiru was silent for a long time, and then said, "Sang Zhenshou give me some time, and I'll think about it again." ”

Sang Shanlong glanced at Xu Zhiru, then at Bao Dehui, and said with a smile: "Please think about it carefully, after all, if one more person has the right to speak in Gyeongju Mansion, it will not only be the interests of you and me that will be damaged, but everyone will be damaged together!"

After speaking, Sang Shanlong left.

Bao Dehui glanced at Xu Zhiru and said, "What do you think, Old Xu?"

Xu Zhiru stretched out his hand, slowly reviewed the chessboard, and said lightly: "Although we are all chess players, we are not qualified to lift the chessboard, so we must think seriously about how to win!"

"It's a mystery again!" said Balder, who couldn't help but pout.

But suddenly seeing the chess game that had been reviewed by Xu Zhiru and was exactly the same as before, the red-faced old man's face was suddenly full of stupidity.
