Yi Xiangrui's special car travels through the city.

Weekends are a great time to get around.

However, if you are driving, you have to ask where is the destination?

"Old comrade, do you want to talk about a place?"

"Celestial Empire Club, you should still remember, right?"

"Hey, isn't that closed?"

"Later, it was restored, let's go to the chess hall on the fifth floor."

There are many ordinary and mysterious places in the capital, which are places where people move and where ordinary people can't enter.

In the four years of college, Xiang Tianliang only went to one place, which was the chess hall of the Heavenly Dynasty Club, which was also introduced by Yi Xiangrui at that time.

Speaking of Xiang Tianliang's Go, the introduction is self-taught, I bought a popular book of dozens of pages, and I learned it after turning it a few times, and I am still interested in it under the guidance of Yi Xiangrui, because Yi Xiangrui thinks that Xiang Tianliang's ass "can't sit still", and playing chess can polish his character, and the fascination of Go and the improvement of chess power are mainly due to going to the chess hall of the Heavenly Dynasty Club every week, sometimes holding Yi Xiangrui's VIP card, and being able to "soak" there for a whole day.

However, Xiang Tianliang didn't understand that Yi Xiangrui Weishenme would choose the chess hall as the place to "meet", where there were three teachings and nine streams, and if you had the heart, you could see all kinds of people there.

Xiang Tianliang didn't bother to ask what was going on, because he was competing with the old man.

Knowing the teacher Mo Ruo, the reason why Xiang Tianliang was deeply loved by Yi Xiangrui was because he understood Yi Xiangrui's temper.

Yi Xiangrui's life is mainly to deal with criminals, facing challenges is the main theme of his life, he doesn't like others to follow him, but he likes others to fight with him, against him, like others to compete with him.

Xiang Tianliang is specifically working against Yi Xiangrui, you say one, I say two, you let me go east, I go around,. Even if what you say is right, I'm going to pick a bone out of the egg, but I don't follow suit.

Playing chess is one of the common hobbies of the master and apprentice, but Xiang Tianliang rarely played against Yi Xiangrui later, although in terms of chess strength, it is basically better than the blue, but it is limited to half a catty against seven halves.

But Xiang Tianliang just talked about Yi Xiangrui's chess skills in a mess, so that Yi Xiangrui was so angry that he couldn't do it, but he was so happy in his heart that he couldn't do it, because Xiang Tianliang was "working against him".

Weekends are the time when there are the most chess friends in the chess hall, Xiang Tianliang followed Yi Xiangrui in, and found that there have been a lot of changes here, those familiar faces are gone, all of them are well-dressed, and they look like dogs, and they lack the casual and relaxed feeling in the past.

The chess room is open-plan, with a total of four rooms, each with eight chess tables, and there is no special distinction between Go and chess.

Playing chess is all about silence, and the chess room is so quiet that only the sound of the opponent's breathing remains.

The three chess rooms were full, and Yi Xiangrui took Xiang Tianliang to the No. 1 chess room.

Obviously deliberately arranged, there were still half of the empty seats in the No. 1 chess room, and the old man sitting in front of the No. 6 table, alone in front of the chessboard, Xiang Tianliang seemed to be familiar, although the dress was ordinary, but Xiang Tianliang still felt the extraordinaryness of his body from his silhouette, and there were two people standing behind him, dressed in black suits, straight and unmoving, like two pieces of wood.

There are also three chess tables, fierce battles are in full swing, and there are spectators at each table, sweeping their eyes to the dawn one by one, knowing that these people, whether they are sitting or standing, are people with status, and they are by no means like street people and ordinary people in the market.

Xiang Tianliang himself is also dressed like a dog, a black suit, with a pair of black leather shoes, it cost his wife more than 1,000 yuan, although he does not wear white, but he wears a suit in summer, Xiang Tianliang always feels awkward.

He knew in his heart that the old man sitting alone should be the person he was going to "see" today.

Xiang Tianliang clasped his hands to his chest, looked at the table by table, the chess game of the No. 1 table and the No. 2 table was nothing to look at, at first glance, it was the "rookie" level, the chess power was slightly higher than that of beginners, but the No. 3 table, the age of the players was over thirty years old, and the chess strength could at least reach the level of the amateur rank, and the three onlookers were also of similar age, and they seemed to come together.

The chess game is a little tense, a nine-son dragon of black chess, is being chased by white chess on three sides, if you don't escape, you must lose in the middle game, escape, lose momentum and lose ground, defeat is inevitable.

The black man was frowning and pondering, fingers at his fingers, undecided.

Xiang Tianliang couldn't help it, this is also his nature, playing chess and nagging, is one of his major characteristics.

"Abandoned son."

The white-bearer glanced at Tianliang dissatisfied.

"There is no choice."

The black-bearer also glanced at the sky.

"Turning to the lone chess in the lower left corner of white, there may be a glimmer of life."

At this time, even the onlookers were not happy, and one of them pointed to a line of red letters on the glass table, and nodded to the dawn.

The line on the table reads: Watching chess without saying a word, a true gentleman.

Xiang Tianliang smiled slightly, and stretched out his hand to exaggerate the words.

A miracle happened, and the red letter changed into one word: watching chess without saying a word, not a gentleman.

The difference in one word means diametrically opposite.

Everyone was in the same place, and the white bearer looked at Xiang Tianliang and said in surprise: "Are you?" ”

“haha…… He's what I told you about the 'wild road.'" ”

As soon as the voice came, a fat man in his forties walked into the chess room.

This person is Xiang Tianliang's good friend, Bao Guoyin, the owner of the Celestial Empire Club.

Bao Guoyin is not a simple person, he has a nickname, called Eight-Faced Man, he can be regarded as a celebrity in the capital, his father is also one of the founding heroes, but he stood on the wrong team and went the wrong way, more than ten years ago he stood aside, but Bao Guoyin wanted to open, it was still not bad, he used to be a lecturer at the Beijing Police University, after his father was unlucky, he resigned and went to the sea, and a few sons and brothers started a business of reselling approval documents, and made a lot of money, and the money was straight, and people were fat, so they opened such a club, although the club did not make money, but you can make friends, if you have friends, you will have information, and if you have information, you won't have to worry about making a fortune, the nickname of "eight-faced man" is not covered, and anyone can become his friend.

When Xiang Tianliang followed Yi Xiangrui to the Heavenly Dynasty Club, he attracted the attention of Bao Guoyin at the beginning, mainly thanks to Yi Xiangrui's special identity, this is a person who has his own strength, but can reach the sky, can be his closed disciple, itself is not simple, Yi Xiangrui appears in public, rarely brings his own students, only Xiang Tianliang is an exception.

On the other hand, it is Xiang Tianliang's maverick, who does his own thing, and is just "on the right path" with Bao Guoyin in terms of temper.

Xiang Tianliang gradually became a little famous in the Celestial Dynasty Club, and the nickname "Ye Luzi" is a symbol of his status.

The so-called "wild way" mainly refers to the style of playing chess to the dawn, he never likes to play chess according to the routine, he is good at subverting experience, picking out the opponent's unexpected chess play.

Another point, Xiang Tianliang ignores the rules in the chess hall, loves to ignore it, and he often plays a little magic trick, cleverly "changing" those prompts, for example, changing "watching chess without saying a true gentleman" to "watching chess without saying a gentleman", "do not make a loud noise" to "must be loud", "do not smoke" to "welcome to smoke".

Over time, Xiang Tianliang and Bao Guoyin became brothers, and old chess friends also know that there is a young man named Ye Luzi, who plays chess without rules, but his chess strength is good, and he is among the best among the old guests in the clubhouse chess hall.

When Xiang Tianliang graduated from university and returned to Dongjiang Province, Bao Guoyin went to the Southern Special Economic Zone, but he didn't expect that now he is back in the capital.

"Brother Bao, I miss you to death." It's shouting again, it's a bear hug again, and it's very exaggerated to the sky.

Bao Guorui chattered about his cigar cigarette and was happy, "Brother, long time gone, long time gone." ”

Holding Bao Guorui around, he smiled at Tianliang and said: "Brother Bao, I haven't seen you for two years, you have gained eight to ten pounds again, and you have made a fortune, you must have made a fortune." ”

"Hey, a little money, a little money." Bao Guorui took out a cigar cigarette, handed it to Xiang Tianliang's mouth, and personally lit a fire for him, "It's not easy to make money, no, I'm back in the capital and I'm back to my old business." ”

"Huh...... Brother Bao, don't worry, the younger brother has a basic principle, never borrow money from friends. ”

"you, you don't borrow it, but you take it, take it more than borrow, and you won't go back if you beat the dog with meat buns."

"Huh...... Those who know me, Brother Bao. ”

Bao Guorui smiled and asked, "Brother, why did you come to the capital too?" How have these two years been? ”

"Alas...... Sensei, little brother, I'm miserable, Brother Bao, you are the Minister of Intelligence, don't you know at all? ”

Bao Guorui laughed in a low voice: "I know a little, a little, I heard, I heard that my brother has been a little embarrassed recently?" ”

"Bah, do you see me embarrassed? Do you see me embarrassed? Xiang Tianliang pretended to be angry.

Pretending to look at Xiang Tianliang, Bao Guorui tried his best not to smile, "Well, it's not embarrassing, it's not embarrassing at all, it's not the same as the legend." ”

"Hey, what did you hear?" Xiang Tianliang asked curiously.

"Said that you want to be a policeman, but you didn't do it, but you mixed up with a deputy county magistrate but were shuanggui by the Commission for Discipline Inspection, and after escaping, you were chased by thousands of policemen to hide in Tibet, zuihou drove a plane from Dongjiang Province to Northern Jiangsu Province, and robbed a sedan car from Northern Jiangsu Province to Luji Province, and then fled from Luji Province to the capital by train, haha...... Not embarrassed, not embarrassed at all. ”

Xiang Tianliang didn't like to listen to it, and straightened his neck and said angrily: "Rumors, this is a rumor, I said Brother Bao, this is definitely a rumor." ”

“haha…… Brother, brother, between you and me, what is there to hide? ”

Xiang Tianliang smiled evilly, "Brother Bao, believe it or not, I can take the plaque of your Heavenly Empire Club to *** Square and burn it?" ”

Bao Guorui's face immediately changed, "Brother, brother, you are joking with me." ”

At this time, Yi Xiangrui, who was sitting at table five, coughed heavily.

Bao Guorui didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly walked in front of Yi Xiangrui, nodding and bowing again, "Uncle Yi, please be happy for you." ”

Yi Xiangrui said slowly: "Fatty, are you here to let us play chess, or are you here to listen to your tricks?" ”

"Uncle Yi, I'm sorry to disturb you, the little one knows the mistake, the one who knows the mistake."

Yi Xiangrui waved his hand, Bao Guoxiang rushed to the dawn and blinked, and slipped away.

"Dawn, let's have a plate." Yi Xiangrui said.

Xiang Tianliang sat down with a smile, "Hehe...... Let the two sons, otherwise there is no need to talk. ”

"What a big breath."

This sentence was not from Yi Xiangrui, but from the old man at table seven.
