An hour later, the old man threw in the towel again, blowing his beard and glaring at him angrily, pulling at his long beard.

"How is this possible? What the hell is going on with this step? When did you lay a net to devour my dragon? ”

The old man stared at this game of chess, looking left and right, and he was simply puzzled.

Yi Xing looked at the hourglass of the timer: "Old man, the hour is up, let's go to the counter and pay the money first." ”

The old man stood up: "I'll go and pay the money, don't go, we have to fight for another three hundred rounds!" ”

He felt that he was also a famous player in the chess world in the Huaiyuanfang generation, but he didn't expect to lose to a milky hairy child again and again today, how could he be willing?

It's just that he didn't know that even the Fusang Chess Saint, who had killed all the players of Chang'an, was killed by Yi Xing in just one hour.

This can't be blamed on how rare and strange the old man is, no one would have imagined that the young chess saint who killed the Fusang chess saint and abandoned his armor would run such a small chess club in such an inconspicuous inn.

After a few moments, the old man turned back again.

"I've paid three more hours, and today I have to kill you upside down!"

……

Late at night.

After seeing off the last guest, Gongsun left the door of the inn and sat down at the table with Yi Xing.

"It worked, it was immediate!"

"The number of customers coming to the inn will definitely decrease dramatically tomorrow, maybe tomorrow we can meet with the tiger and continue the mission!"

"But then again, the tiger has been out for several days and hasn't come back, could it be that he has found some key clues?"

Gongsun Li is very satisfied with the current situation, but he is also a little worried about Pei Baohu's current state.

Because the two of them still want to stay and engage in the business of the Yellow Inn, they can only let Pei Baohu go out to investigate alone.

But Pei Baohu has always acted recklessly, and he hasn't come back for so long, so I don't know if he has encountered any danger.

Just then, there was a sound at the back door of the inn.

Gongsun couldn't help but light up in his eyes: "Huh? It's the tiger that's back! ”

She and Yi Xing looked in the direction of the back door, only to see Pei Baohu with a few injuries on his body, but a proud smile appeared on his face.

"I have to go out myself! Look what I've got! ”

Pei Baohu said, very proudly slapping a file on the table.

Yi Xing unfolded it and looked surprised: "This is ...... Yu Hengsi's dossier about that mysterious mechanic? ”

Gongsun Li was also taken aback: "Huh? Tiger, how did you get this thing? Could it be that he was in conflict with Yu Hengsi's people again? ”

Although this dossier is not the only dossier, you don't need to break into Yu Hengsi's headquarters to get it, but it will definitely be on some key people in Yu Hengsi.

Although precious, it also means that there will inevitably be a conflict with Yu Hengsi, and there is a possibility of revealing his identity.

Pei Baohu said very proudly: "Hehe, don't worry, I learned smart this time, absolutely foolproof!" ”

"I first went to find out the details of Yu Hengsi, and found out their personnel arrangement around here. I didn't think there would be anything to gain, but I didn't expect that late last night, there would be an unexpected discovery! ”

"I found out that another half-blood demon species was actually spying on these people in Yu Hengsi, and injured a catcher, robbed the file and successfully escaped!"

"I immediately realized that I couldn't miss the opportunity, so I followed all the way, and then snatched the file from his hand!"

"But this jackal's skills are really good, obviously he was injured by Yu Hengsi, and he is still resisting, and I also suffered some injuries before I successfully got the dossier."

"I was afraid of being discovered, so I hid outside for a day, and I didn't return to the inn until I confirmed my safety tonight."

Gongsun Li was a little surprised: "Huh? Could it be that there is another organization besides us that is keeping an eye on this mysterious mechanic? ”

Pei Baohu shook his head: "No, I have seen this jackal, he is the subordinate of the mysterious mechanic." ”

Gongsun Li was even more puzzled: "But why did the mysterious organ master send someone to rob his own file?" ”

Yi Xing thought for a moment and said, "It's very simple, he should want to determine where Yu Hengsi's investigation of him has progressed, so that he can determine the next action." ”

"This mysterious mechanic must have long realized that Yu Hengsi was arresting him, but he must have some special purpose for continuing to stay."

"As long as he gets the file and knows the progress of Yu Hengsi's investigation, he can roughly estimate how long he can hide here."

"It's just that he shouldn't have expected that this dossier would finally be obtained by us."

Pei Baohu urged: "Let's see what this dossier says?" ”

The three of them read the dossier together.

Obviously, Yu Hengsi did not completely lock the true identity of the mysterious mechanic, but after all, Yu Hengsi's energy was not comparable to that of Yaotian's team, so he found some more critical clues.

"The Mystic Mechanic is not good-looking, has no distinguishing features, and does not make a strong impression. Not only that, but he can also disguise himself in a variety of different personalities. Most people trust him when they first see him, and naturally ignore his threats, so they can successfully escape in many pursuits......"

"The mysterious mechanic has also transformed himself into a half-mechanic, which is extremely dangerous."

"The mysterious mechanic has a paranoid personality, emphasizing the rigor of the technique, and the mechanism produced is also very sophisticated, and can even do many precise movements that ordinary people can't do, so it is extremely popular in the underground black market."

"The mysterious mechanic can also transform the mechanic into combat mode through the core of the mechanism, and because of this, the mechanic who has undergone precision and combat transformation is a huge threat to the security of Chang'an City......"

After Yi Xing extracted a few pieces of key information, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This mysterious mechanism master is really difficult to deal with, no wonder Yu Hengsi has been looking for him for so long and has not been able to find it." ”

"I think that Yu Hengsi has probably roughly locked the hiding place of this mysterious mechanism master, but because he is too easy to ignore, and his strength is very strong, it is easy to escape through chaos, so he must be careful enough when closing the net."

"But it's a good thing for us because we still have a chance."

Gongsun Li nodded: "Well, that's right! ”

"Tiger, you have made a great contribution this time, don't go out tomorrow and stay at the inn to rest."

"Now there are not many guests in the inn, when the inn is deserted again, we will find a time to act collectively and find out this mysterious mechanism master in front of Yu Hengsi!"

……

Early the next morning, the restaurant opened on time.

The situation is the same as yesterday's estimate, and the number of people queuing at the gate has plummeted!

Yesterday was the first day of price increases, and many customers had an attitude of "coming and coming", although it was too expensive, but they still ate it.

But today is different, many repeat customers did not come back because of the price increase and the lack of space, and the door of the inn suddenly became a lot more deserted.

The faces of the people in Yaotian's team were finally no longer tired after being busy, but smiling knowingly.

Yes, everything went according to plan!

However, not long after the door opened, a dense footstep was heard at the door of the inn.

Pei Baohu, who had just brought out a bowl of mutton and beard cakes, looked up and turned his head to look, and found that after a group of old men entered the inn, they went directly to the chess club, led by the old man with a long beard yesterday.

"This is it! That's right, Mr. Shangguan? ”

"This stinky kid is a chess master? It doesn't look like it! ”

"Heh, old grandson, don't underestimate him, I don't believe you tell him that you will understand it in one game, and you will definitely lose your armor!"

"I really don't believe it! What if you win a game? ”

"If you can win, I'll give you that jade chess piece at home!"

"Okay, it's a deal!"

"But this little brother can only play chess with one person at a time, what should we do?"

"Shall we just play against each other?"

"Okay, okay, let's go to the counter to pay the money first, and then come one by one!"

These people are obviously the chess friends brought by the old man yesterday, and I heard that there is a young man in the chess club in the Caitian Inn who plays chess like a god, and they all came to challenge!

They came to the counter very consciously and each took out a handful of tongbao, some of them wanted to play for one hour in the chess club, and some of them wanted to play for two hours.

Others said that the inn should be reserved for noon, and lunch was also settled here.

Gongsun Li was stunned for a moment, and he didn't understand what the situation was at all.

What's going on? Will there be fewer and fewer people who say good inns?

Why are so many people here all at once! With the addition of the people in the chess club, it is even more lively than yesterday!

But these people are all from afar, so you can't drive them away, right?

Gongsun Li accepted the money very reluctantly, just hoping that they would leave after eating at noon, and not delay the people of Yaotian's team to keep an eye on them in the afternoon.

……

In the blink of an eye, another day has passed.

In the morning, as soon as the restaurant opened, people outside rushed in again.

"Don't squeeze, I'll come first! I'm going to play chess first! Boss, I'll make a reservation for four hours plus lunch! ”

"Do you know what it means to come first and come first? I came a quarter of an hour before you, are you too embarrassed to get ahead of me? ”

"Anyway, I went through the chess games yesterday and finally found a way, and I will definitely win today!"

Everyone rushed in, entered the chess club, and ate the meal, and directly squeezed the inn into a squeeze!

Behind the counter, Gongsun Li put his hand on his forehead, his face full of frustration.

It's hard to put into words!

When the doors opened yesterday morning, the inn was deserted, and the situation was supposed to be very good.

But I never expected that the old man brought a group of chess friends from nowhere, and he played chess for a whole day, and lunch and dinner were also solved here!

The price increase of the meal finally persuaded some regular customers, but I never expected that these chess friends filled the vacancy, and the inn was even more lively than before!

Yi Xing also realized that something was wrong with the situation and tried to make some remedial measures, but it was too late.

He deliberately lowered his level and deliberately released water, but this group of old men did not give up, saying that he was young and did not speak of chess ethics and did not respect his opponents, and he must be allowed to go all out;

So Yi Xing took out another twelve points of seriousness, and killed this group of old men to the point of losing their armor and losing everything, wanting to make these chess friends retreat.

But I never expected that it would have the opposite effect!

These chess players were not depressed after losing on the chessboard, and some of them were overjoyed, thinking that playing against Yixing could better improve their chess skills; Some are simply dissatisfied, and they have to place another 100 million plates.

This group of people is not too late to play from morning to night, and they will deliberately get up early the next day to come over to play chess!

Even Yi Xing tried to shirk the problem and hide in the inn, but these chess friends still didn't leave, they entertained themselves in the chess club, and played chess with each other!

The chess club was full, and naturally it also affected the guest hall and wine shop.

These chess players forgot to sleep and eat here, ordered mutton and Hu cakes to eat when they were hungry, drank tea when they were thirsty, and drank a few cups when they played chess.

Although the price of Hu Cake and Water Basin Mutton has increased, these chess players don't care at all.

Because in places like Pingkangfang and Changlefang, food and alcohol are already very expensive, and they are used to this pricing.

If you have the leisure and elegance to play chess every day, who will lack these treasures? Not only do I think it's not expensive, but I think it's very reasonable.

These chess friends think that an elegant chess club should charge a little higher, otherwise all kinds of peddlers and pawns will come to eat, and what kind of leisure and elegance can they talk about?

Many customers in the neighborhood said that they would never come back to eat after saying that the price would increase, but they soon became a little overwhelmed.

Because after eating the Hu cake and mutton in the water basin of the Caitian Inn, and then going to eat elsewhere, there is no such taste at all!

The crispy taste and fragrant taste soon made them forget their anger and reappear at the door of the Yutian Inn.

And the number of people watching the Yantian Inn has increased again, and everyone has slowly recognized the new pricing.

The combination of various factors has led to a very serious consequence.

There are more customers than before!

Not only that, due to the increase in the price of meals, the fees of the chess club and the wine store, the daily income of the restaurant has increased by seven or eight times compared to before!

It's a sad story.

The plan to cool down the inn failed again, and Gongsun Li had no choice but to survive today and discuss countermeasures in the evening.

Pei Baohu was very busy, looking at Gongsun Li's eyes full of resentment.

The inn will soon be cleared, so I can have a good rest?

Not only did it not clean up, but it was more lively than before!

Gongsun Li and Yi Xing didn't keep an eye on them at all, they were in charge of the chess club, counter and wine shop, and Pei Baohu was left alone.

Pei Baohu couldn't help but sigh: "Why is it always me who is injured!" ”

……

After receiving a lot of Tongbao again, Gongsun Li looked blankly at the street outside the inn, and wanted to leave here now to continue the mission.

Seeing that the bustling crowd outside the inn was so free, Gongsun was envious, but he couldn't leave.

However, at this moment, she suddenly noticed that someone was sneaking in at the door of the inn.

"Huh?"

Gongsun Li was instantly alert.

She has been collecting intelligence in Chang'an City all the year round, and it can be said that she sees six ways and listens to all directions, which naturally can't be hidden from her eyes.

Gongsun Li originally thought it was his Yu Hengsi catching fast in plain clothes, but after a closer look, he didn't feel like it, because this person was obviously not a practitioner, and seemed to be an ordinary person.

This person had no intention of coming in, but just sneaked around at the door of the inn for a long time, as if he was looking for news.

Gongsun Li frowned, and suddenly had a guess.

"Do you mean...... He's the one who is the mysterious mechanic? Suspicious of our inn, so come to find out the news? ”

"But he's not a half-blood demon and doesn't know kung fu, he seems to be just an ordinary person. Well, maybe it's because it's less detectable? ”

"If he is really the spy sent by the mysterious mechanic, as long as he is caught and interrogated, wouldn't he be able to find the whereabouts of the mysterious mechanic logically?"

The more Gongsun Li thought about it, the more energetic he became, and while no one was paying attention around, he quietly came behind this person, grabbed his neck, and dragged him to the dark alley next to him without saying anything.

"Who are you? What are your intentions in coming to our inn? Say! ”

The man was so frightened that his legs were weak, and he begged for mercy: "The shopkeeper's life, I, I am a guy from Taiping Restaurant!" ”

"Huh?"

Gongsun couldn't help but be disappointed.

If this person is the thug of the mysterious mechanic, then Gongsun Li can find out this mysterious mechanic.

If he is a guy from Taiping Restaurant, it won't be interesting, and he sneakily watched it for a long time, just for business competition, to spy on the situation of the inn.

If Yaotian's team had run the inn normally, they might still be a little nervous, but the problem is that they weren't at all!

Running the inn was a incidental thing, and besides, the inn's popularity caused trouble to their original mission.

The guy at Taiping Restaurant was already frightened, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "The shopkeeper's life!" The little ones don't dare anymore, don't dare anymore! ”

Gongsun Li said helplessly: "You get up." ”

"I said I was a guy from Taiping Restaurant, and I led you into the inn directly."

"Why don't I take you to the inn now? If you wish, you can go to the back kitchen. ”

"What else would you like to see, just say."

Gongsun Li pondered, since the guys from the Taiping Restaurant are here to spy on the enemy, let him spy clearly!

It's not a matter that the Yutian Inn is always full, and the Yaotian team has no chance to carry out the mission at all.

However, the guy at the Taiping Restaurant thought she was talking the opposite, and knelt down again: "The shopkeeper's life, the little one doesn't dare anymore!" ”

Gongsun Li was a little speechless.

Forget it, to be honest, he doesn't believe it either.

"Let's go."

After sending away the guys from the Taiping Restaurant, Gongsun returned to the inn happily, sat down behind the counter again, and counted Tongbao boredly.

However, just as she was yawning, she suddenly heard several clear gongs outside.

"Take a look, take a look, Taiping Restaurant is on sale! Half price for all the food and wine! Don't go wrong when you walk by! ”

With the sound of a clear gong, there was a little guy shouting at the top of his voice, and the sound could be heard clearly even in the inn.

A few people and customers just wanted to step into the inn, and after hearing it, they couldn't help but turn their heads and set their eyes on the Taiping Restaurant.

The people who were eating in the inn also began to whisper.

"Half price for all Taiping Restaurant? That's a lot of money! ”

"Yes, I have the impression that Taiping Restaurant rarely reduces prices and discounts!"

"Needless to say, it must be because the Yantian Inn robbed their business, and the shopkeeper couldn't hold his breath!"

"I've also noticed that there are obviously fewer customers at the Taiping Restaurant, and many people have come to the Yantian Inn."

"Definitely, although there are only Hu cakes and mutton in the basin here, it is really delicious! It's much better than the signature dishes of Taiping Restaurant, and I don't think I will get tired of eating it for a year! ”

"But now the Taiping Restaurant is bleeding heavily, and it is directly half price, which is not easy to say."

The little guy's voice really had an immediate effect.

Originally, there was a long queue outside the Yantian Inn, and many people were hungry and waiting for a position.

Look at the Yantian Inn, and look at the Taiping Restaurant, I don't know how to choose.

Although the signature dishes of Taiping Restaurant are far inferior to the Hu Cake and Water Basin Mutton of Yitian Inn, they are also relatively top-notch in Chang'an City. What's more, the restaurant is expensive and queued up, and the Taiping Restaurant is spacious and cheap, so it's really confusing to choose!

As soon as Gongsun Li heard this, the rabbit's ears instantly stood up.

There is such a good thing as giving a pillow when you are sleepy?

Obviously, the guy just now came to spy on the situation of the Yantian Inn, and after he went back, he talked to the shopkeeper of the Taiping Restaurant, so the shopkeeper could make up his mind and fight a price war!

Gongsun Li didn't expect that he could still be blessed by misfortune?

Without further ado, there can be no delay!

She immediately went out, moved the sign in front of the store, took a pen and swiped a few words on it.

The customers who were still queuing up at the door were all dazzled when they saw this scene.

Hey? Could it be ......

Are the two going to start a price war and grab business with low prices?

Definitely!

Taiping Restaurant is menacing, Yutian Inn must be unable to sit still, didn't you see the female shopkeeper here was so excited just now?

If the two really start a price war, there will also be a 50% discount on the side of the Yantian Inn, and a Hu cake will only need a Tongbao, which will be too cost-effective!

The customer who wanted to defect to the Taiping Restaurant immediately just now stayed after seeing this situation.

Everyone is speculating, I don't know what kind of discount the shopkeeper of the restaurant will give on the billboard?

I saw Gongsun Li quickly add a few words to the billboard, and then moved back to the door of the inn, looked up and down after setting it up, clapped his hands with satisfaction, and went back.

Everyone came over to take a look, and they were all dumbfounded.

Under the original content, there are five more big words: Our store is not discounted!

The customers were all dumbfounded, looking at each other in confusion.

There's something wrong!

If you don't discount it, you won't discount it, and you deliberately wrote it on the billboard, for fear that everyone wouldn't know?

It's outrageous!

Many customers who originally had fantasies about the Yantian Inn broke their glass hearts in an instant, and they were no longer entangled, and turned their heads and ran to the Taiping Restaurant.

Not to mention, it's still more fragrant with 5% off!

Many customers walked towards the Taiping Restaurant, while turning their heads to look at the Yantian Inn and sighing silently.

A very good cook, he was pitted by the shopkeeper!

Does this shopkeeper still have any emotional intelligence? Will you do business?

Watching everyone leave one after another, Gongsun Li was simply overjoyed.

That's great! Taiping Restaurant is really a charcoal in the snow!

If the Taiping Restaurant didn't do anything, the Yaotian team would really be trapped by the Yantian Inn, and they wouldn't have time to keep an eye on it and carry out the task.

Now, as long as the Taiping Restaurant can persist and attract all the people away, when there are fewer customers at the Yantian Inn, won't you be able to make time to go out and keep an eye on it?

What's more, Gongsun Li was still worried about Yang Yuhuan's entrustment, she wrote to say that the clues she had gone out of the city to track were broken, and the other party might be coming in the direction of Chang'an, telling her to pay more attention while keeping an eye on her.
