The chess game played by Yanagi Ming seems ordinary, but it is actually weird and bizarre.

Ling Shang had only broken it once.

It was five years ago, the day before he parted ways with Yanagi.

On the way out of the vast western border, Ling Shang had suspected that Liu Shengming might have deliberately exposed his flaws......

In order to let yourself go.

In the Yanagi family, every elder is a well-known righteous person.

They all know astronomy and geography.

The Five Elements Bagua, Qimen Dunjia, Qin, Chess, Calligraphy and Painting, and even farmland and water conservancy, economic strategy, etc., are all well known.

Yanagi is no exception.

However, each descendant of the Yagyu family bears not themselves, but the glory and nobility required by the surname "Yanagi".

Every member of the Yanagi family is an elite in a million, and Yanagi Ming is just one of these "one in a million".

Ling Shang once asked Liu Shengming why he did those evil things that humiliated the family's reputation, and why he would rather become a disgrace to the family than inherit the family's mission.

It was a cloudless afternoon, and on the vast grassland, there were some poor people who had been used to test the medicine and died.

The decaying corpses were crawling with ugly insects and ants, and the turbid air was mixed with a reassuring sense of decadence.

Liu Shengming's answer really shocked the young Ling Shang, and even amazed him.

- Since you will never be able to surpass the achievements of your family's predecessors, let's take a different path.

Ling Shang didn't seem to understand, he only felt that this man who was seven points unruly and three points evil seemed to have the answer he had been looking for.

In this cold winter day, Ling Shang had already found the answer he wanted, and he was only left with a chill to the person in front of him who had been regarded as a life-saving straw.

"Sit down and see if your chess skills improve." Yanagi invited him to take a seat again.

On the chess game, Ling Shang always had no confidence to win.

He played against Yanagi absentmindedly, and in less than a stick of incense, he noticed the humility of the other party without a trace.

Yanagi stopped at the right time, and put the chess pieces he picked up and put them back, "Let's stop here, my chess skills are also rusty." ”

Ling Shang did not answer. After all, he still didn't want to show weakness to this man.

"It's morning, but there's no harm in having a drink." Liu Sheng Ming calmly poured sake into the shallow jade cup in front of Ling Shang.

Ling Shang glanced at Liu Shengming's clean and flexible hands in disgust, raised his glass and took the liquor into his mouth.

Wait for the cold wine to gradually warm up before swallowing slowly.

Every time he came back to the Half Moon Residence, Yanagi always invited him to drink a few glasses.

Ling Shang knew that he was courting him.

Be clearer about his intentions.

The sake entered his throat, and the corners of Ling Shang's mouth flashed brightly.

He finally moved his gaze from the chess game where the outcome was inseparable, to Yanagi's face, "What about people? ”

"Alive."

"I'm going to take him away." Ling Shang ordered against his will.

"Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?" Yanagi had already seen his intentions.

"I'm afraid." Ling Shang paused, "It's useless to be afraid." ”

"You have your own mission...... "Liu Shengming narrowed his eyes slightly, "The last thing a person who has a mission should have is worry." ”

Ling Shangwan denied, "I don't care. ”

"If you take him back to His Highness Jing, then I ......"

"Then you don't need to clean up the aftermath for me." Ling Shang's dark eyes didn't have a trace of warmth, "Don't do anything more to add to the snake...... You're not helping me. ”

"I'm just doing what I'm supposed to do – I'm not trying to help you."
