In the inn.

There was also a room where people didn't sleep, and that was Lesheng and his younger brother Leluo...... Oh, let's call Luo Le back, the lights in the brothers' rooms are still on.

Lesheng sat at his desk, looking at the glass lamp and looking through the ledgers he had recovered these days.

Of course, the glass lamp was prepared by his entourage, and this place did not have it. The desk was made of fine mahogany with the finest craftsmanship, and was brought along by his entourage, which was not so dexterous in this place. Even the tea set on the table is a must-have for every trip he makes, because he is not used to being provided by others.

The ledger in his hand had already turned to the last page, and after ten lines at a glance, it was closed.

He glanced at his younger brother Leluo, who was still pestering the mute old slave to play chess, and a smile flashed on his face, and then he straightened his face and said, "Why don't you sleep yet?" ”

"Ahem, isn't my brother still asleep?" Luo Le turned around and said with a smile on his face.

"Am I not looking at the ledger?" Lesheng stood up, stretched his muscles, and looked at the chessboard of Luo Le and the mute old slave, "Just finished reading, haven't you finished playing this chess yet?" ”

"It's rare to have someone to play chess with me, and I want to kill all night." Luo Le said stiffly.

"I'll go with you and let Uncle Dumb rest." Le Sheng said, and walked to the window where Luo Le was playing chess.

Although the mute old slave was deaf and dumb, he was clear-eyed and careful, and when he saw Lesheng's shadow coming, he stood up at once, respectfully clasped his hands and listened to the command.

Le Sheng waved his hand at him, and the dumb old slave understood, but before withdrawing, he removed the stool he had sat on and replaced it with the chair where Le Dagongzi was sitting.

Luo Le looked at the scene in front of him with interest, and didn't say anything, but he felt far away in his heart. The two of them are not people of the same world after all!

"Hey, my brother hasn't played chess with me in many years!" He stretched, deliberately relaxed, and said with some nostalgia.

"No, it's time to make up for it." Lesheng sat down across from him, also a little wistful.

Both of them knew that there was another layer of things hidden in each other's hearts, and they refused to pierce it in person, and they couldn't tell whether they cared about brotherhood, or had they begun to compete secretly?

Luo Le stared at a black chess piece that Le Sheng had just dropped, and said: "My brother's chess skills are still so superb, and he is suspicious as soon as he makes a move, so that my brother can't understand it." ”

"I haven't played for many years, and I can barely maintain my previous chess path." Le Sheng answered in a fog.

When Luo Le heard this, he didn't understand his brother's intentions. I had to pick up a white piece and hesitate for a moment before landing on the board.

"My brother is the same, and he is undecided." A shallow smile appeared on the corner of Le Sheng's mouth, I don't know whether to laugh or be confident about this game of chess, and then immediately dropped a black piece on the chessboard.

"Hey, I'm used to being lazy." Luo Le simply dropped a white piece with some indifference.

"If you are not in harmony, you are going to lose this chess." Lesheng kindly prompted.

"Haven't I always lost when I play chess with my brother?" Luo Le's eyes were lazy, and he glanced at Le Sheng intentionally or unintentionally, "It seems that my brother has never let me win once." ”

"Isn't that afraid of your pride?" Le Sheng smiled helplessly, "Besides, my brother is also competitive, and it is quite embarrassing to lose to my younger brother who is ten years younger." ”

Luo Le smiled and didn't speak.

Soon, he found out that his white pieces were embattled.

"When playing chess, it's better to focus." Le Sheng smiled slightly, picked up a black chess piece, landed it on the chessboard, and ate a piece of Luo Le's younger brother's white chess.

"My brother is more decisive than before!" Luo Le looked at the vacant position on the chessboard and pouted.

"Isn't it because my brother's chess skills have regressed?" Lesheng maintained his usual smiling face.

"I can't help it!" Luo Le casually dropped a white chess piece on the chessboard, "Who made my only brother take care of everything, I, as a younger brother, can't see him a few times a year, and I can't find anyone to improve my chess skills." ”

"You can pull it down." Le Sheng followed and easily dropped a chess, "If you want to learn, who do you want to learn?" Just changed his name and surname to disguise himself to fight in the rivers and lakes, but forgot the family rules? ”

"But I just want to learn from my brother," Luo Le coquettishly said, "I don't want my father to accompany me." ”

Lesheng was speechless for a moment. Even if he knows that he is cheating, but after all, it is his younger brother.

After several games, Lesheng's black chess has the upper hand.

Of course, he finally played a game of chess with his younger brother, and he didn't let his younger brother lose too ugly, so his subordinates showed mercy.

However, in the final result, he still didn't want to let go, and Luo Le's younger brother still lost as always.

"One more plate!" Luo Le's younger brother looked at his lonely white chess pieces and said.

"You really don't want to sleep tonight?" Le Sheng asked calmly. Luo Le's eyes were tired, but he was the same as during the day, his breath was smooth and full of energy.

"Don't sleep!" Luo Le said simply, and then caught a glimpse of the refreshing tea that the mute old slave on the side had made for them in advance, and raised his head at the mouth of the pot and took a big sip. "I can fight you for 300 rounds!"

Le Sheng smiled, made a gesture of invitation, and let Luo Le go first.

Luo Le is not polite, anyway, his brother let him go first, and he has never won.

In fact, they all know that they are playing chess, not chess.

They are acting, showing each other, trying to remind each other, but also trying to numb themselves.

In and out of their words, there is a bit of sincerity and a bit of temptation, and they can't tell the difference.

Luo Le only knew that he couldn't sleep. He was afraid that if he fell asleep, he would not know where his brother had gone or what he had done.

His unwitting friends, who were asleep at the moment, must not have been wary of the dangers around them.

On the one hand, he is his brother-in-law, and on the other hand, he is a friend who shares weal and woe, how should he choose?

No, no, while ignoring human life and destroying human nature, while supporting justice and upholding justice, he has no choice at all, he can only stand on the side of justice. It's just that he just can't put his brother's life and death on the line.

He struggled intensely in his heart, and when he struggled to come up with a result, the game on the chessboard also had a result.

There is no doubt that he still lost.

In the past, Lesheng's brother didn't give in to him, because he wanted to give him enough blows to improve his ability to resist blows. Now, Brother Lesheng doesn't want him even more, he is secretly reminding him.

"Brother is always brother, you can't fight me!" Lesheng said with a pun.

The inner struggle just now had already come to an answer, so Luo Le quickly regained his composure. Hearing Le Sheng say this, he was not in a hurry or impatient, he just smiled and said, "This game is lost, and there is the next game." ”
