Chapter 13: Playing Chess
In contrast, the other man was younger, looking about his early twenties, wearing an orange-brown dress, his long black hair stood up, revealing a white forehead, his facial features were upright and white, and his dark eyes looked at the chess game in front of him, and his brows were slightly furrowed.
"Yutong, have you figured out how to leave?" An older man's voice was slightly lower, and he asked quietly.
"Master, forgive the disciple for being stupid, Rong Yutong think about it again." The young man's crisp voice responded, his eyebrows never stretched, looking at the overall situation, his left hand holding his chin and thinking, trying to find a breakthrough in it.
"Okay." The man replied and said nothing.
After a while, the corners of Liu Yutong's mouth raised slightly, as if he had a countermeasure, and the white chess pieces that he had been grinding and playing with in his hand finally fell.
"Master, it's your turn." He made a risky move, which the man did not expect, but it was undoubtedly a ploy to put himself in danger and understand the key points, which could also make the enemy relax their vigilance and divert their attention.
"Yu Tong, this step, I'm afraid it will make you fall into it and find it difficult to extricate yourself." The man's face was calm, and the implication in his words was alluded to, he looked at the chess game in front of him, knowing that the other party was taking risks in order to survive, he did not strangle the other party in a cage, but actually gave the other party a glimmer of life.
Liu Yutong was observant and knew that the head of the family had deliberately made a mistake, so he had to seize this opportunity.
The crystal clear pond, the delicate red lotus blooms wantonly in the lotus pond, the yellow stamens are fragrant, attracting countless colorful butterflies to fly, and there are some buds to be released, looking very pitiful, the breeze blows, they shake their heads happily, and the big lotus leaves are also swinging from side to side, as if they are catering to laughter.
The two men in the pavilion had a dignified posture and handsome faces, and the two of them played Go step by step, and after a period of silence, they finally decided the winner, and then someone opened their mouths.
"The chess skills of the head are really amazing, and Yu Tong admires them so much." Liu Yutong admired his head very much, and praised himself with a smile.
The man smiled implicitly: "Yu Tong, you are not bad, your chess skills have improved a lot in the past few days, first let yourself fall into the enemy camp, so that the enemy mistakenly thinks that you are seeking your own death, so as to relax in the layout, but under the surface of simple things, there is often a greater danger hidden, if I hadn't seen through your strategy earlier, I'm afraid I would really lose this game." ”
"The head is modest, Yu Tong doesn't dare to be."
"Since chess skills are based on competition, let's talk about Yijian this time, Yu Tong, what do you think?" The man picked up the delicate fan on the side, opened it in a chic manner, and shook it leisurely in front of him.
"There are many masters in the rivers and lakes, and each major sect also has its own outstanding martial arts, and this year's Sword Saint competition will definitely be even more exciting. As far as Yu Tong knows, Miss Wu, the daughter of the head of Wu, has profound martial arts and superb swordsmanship, and if we can face off in Yijian Xing, it should be difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser. ”
The man casually picked up the teacup next to him and drank it, glanced at Liu Yutong, and asked lightly, "Yutong, do you like Miss Wu?" ”
"Huh? This...... So, why do you ask? Liu Yutong was flustered by the question, lowered his head, his eyes drifted away, and his speech became unclear.
"Ha, don't be nervous, I'll just ask." The man smiled happily when he saw him flustered and at a loss.
Originally, he just wanted to tease Liu Yutong, but he didn't expect him to discover something amazing.
"Oh." Liu Yutong hurriedly put away his flustered expression and stabilized his emotions.
"Anything else?" The man put down the teacup, continued the previous topic, and asked again.
Liu Yutong knew what the head meant, and opened his lips and continued: "Zhong Mu, the eldest son of Xueqi Villa, should not be underestimated, I heard that the owner of Zhong Zhuang values him very much, and he should take over the position of the owner of the village in the future, then his martial arts should be above the owner of Zhong Zhuang, and Yu Tong is the most worried." ”
"Yes, if you fight him, you must be careful. Although the friendship between the Fengdian faction and Xueqi Villa is not deep, there are also business contacts between the two families, and I have heard a little about their affairs in the village, after all, Xueqi Villa is the second major sect in the martial arts, and the martial arts of the disciples are not weak, and Zhong Mu, who is the eldest prince, is even more proficient, and he has unique skills at a young age. I think that I learned martial arts with the master of Zhong Zhuang back then, but I ended up in defeat, and now that Xueqi Mountain Villa is growing stronger and stronger, I am afraid that the martial arts of the disciples in the village will go to the next level. The man was also a little worried, and his scruples were revealed between his eyebrows.
"Yu Tong is white." Even the head of the house sighed that he was not as good as the owner of Zhong Zhuang, if the two of them faced off in Yijianxing, Liu Yutong was even more worried.
"However, our Fengdian Sect's martial arts have not been without progress in recent years, and you don't need to be afraid, Yutong."
"What the head of the house said is that Yu Tong must keep it in mind."
"The Moon Han faction who arrived with us in Gangneung last night is also staying at the Tingxuan Inn, what is their movement?" The man's originally warm face, as soon as he mentioned the Moon Cold Sect, his face was cold, and he secretly had murderous intent.
"Back to the master, the people of the Yuehan faction have been closed since they lived in the Tingxuan Inn, and they all asked the shopkeeper to send tea and water to the room, and their mouths were very closed, and they didn't find anything wrong for the time being."
"Hmmm! It is still necessary to send someone to keep an eye on it. ”
"Yes, sir."
"On a cloudy day, you and I will go to visit Master Wu, remember to clean up and be dignified." The man's words alluded to it, and Liu Yutong just nodded in response.
"Yes."
"I've been tired for a few days and played chess for a few hours, but my body is a little tired, and there is nothing important, so don't bother me today." The man got up gracefully and commanded.
Liu Yutong then stood up and saluted, "Yes, master, I'll send you back to your room to rest first." ”
"Hmm!" The man shook his fan again, took a step forward, and Liu Yutong followed behind him.
At nightfall in the evening, Li Yi and his party finally arrived in Jiangling, the three of them dismounted and stood in front of an inn, and the shopkeeper who came out to greet them led their three horses to the stable to feed.
They asked for three rooms, and they wanted to stay here until the end of Yijianxing, and fortunately, there were many rooms in Tingxuan Inn, so they would not be squeezed into one room by two people like in Changde.
When they walked into the backyard, they bumped into a few men wearing orange-brown clothes, their steps were hurried, and they didn't know what was urgent, He Yu glanced at a few people, judging from the clothing, these people should be from the Fengdian faction, could it be that the people from the Fengdian faction are also resting at the Tingxuan Inn?
After the people from the Fengdian faction walked away, He Yuxiang spoke, "Boss, those people just now are from the Fengdian faction, and I have seen the clothes and ornaments worn by their sect before. ”
