The gangster was stunned for a moment, and then followed Zhou Ping, Luozi snorted coldly, "Zhou Ping is my master, how can I not know what he looks like!"

"Tell you, my master is not only a person who has won the pinnacle of chess, but also a great hero who once defended his family and country in the City of Ten Thousand Beasts.

The Beast Emperor couldn't hold back immediately when he heard the gangster's words, if it weren't for Zhou Ping always hinting at him with his eyes, I'm afraid he would have laughed a long time ago.

The thugs thought that the Beast Emperor was trembling with fear, so he said again, "If it weren't for my master's betrayal of the Tang Dynasty in Chang'an City half a year ago, I'm afraid that now I would also be the king and worship the prime minister......

As soon as he said this, the brother behind the gangster immediately coughed twice, and the gangster immediately realized his gaffe and immediately closed his mouth.

Zhou Ping's face was gloomy at this time, and he picked up a chess piece, and asked word by word, "You said that Zhou Ping betrayed the Tang Dynasty? Who told you this?"

"Where do you need to tell anyone, the people who came out of Chang'an City all said so, they all said that Zhou Ping knew the beast language, and he was a spy sent to the Tang Dynasty by the beast clan, in order to give the Tang Dynasty a fatal blow at a critical moment. The gangster said helplessly, "I heard that Zhou Ping was surrounded and killed by several realm-breaking powerhouses in Chang'an City that day, and he was able to fight against several realm-breaking powerhouses alone with the strength of one person, and my master is also the first person in the world, but it's a pity...... It's a pity......"

The Beast Emperor stood behind Zhou Ping, his face was as plain as usual, Zhou Ping quickly realized that the Beast Emperor had this unique super intelligence network in the world, and it was understandable that he had been in the Ten Thousand Beast Forest and didn't know about it, how could he not know it?

However, now Zhou Ping's mood has already reached a higher level, his eyes only trembled slightly, and he returned to normal and began to devote himself to the chess game.

The gangsters really have some skills, but in terms of chess ability, this kid can definitely be called a first-class chess player even if he is put in Chang'an City, which is full of talents, but this time his luck is not very good, and he met his 'master'.

A simple start, Zhou Ping used his best method of attack and killing, Zhou Ping's method of attack and killing in the chess game was called the second in the world, and no one dared to call it the first, even Li Qixian once bluntly said that Zhou Ping's chess method of attack and killing was above him, even if this little gangster in front of him was good at chess, what if he was good at chess? In front of Zhou Ping, he was still only slaughtered.

With only a hundred hands, Zhou Ping occupied most of the country, and the gangsters sweated profusely to guard their only one-third of an acre, constantly seeking opportunities to break through Zhou Ping's layout, but Zhou Ping Shenlai directly broke his eyes with one hand, completely cutting off his last glimmer of hope.

Zhou Ping slowly stood up and asked calmly, "Do you need to continue?"

The thug shook his head and grabbed a handful of chess pieces from the chess box and was still on the chessboard.

"Dare to ask Your Excellency, who is the master of the chess world?" asked the thug with a reverent expression.

"I'm not a chess player, I'm just a passerby. Zhou Ping put the chess pieces on the chess table back into the chess box one by one, took a deep look at the little gangster, and said, "If you are really Zhou Ping's apprentice, then I think he will be very disappointed." ”

The thug was shocked and hurriedly asked, "Could it be ...... Do you really know Zhou Ping?"

"Sort of. Zhou Ping smiled, "But I know that he has only one apprentice in his life, who learned swords from him, and he is now in Beihai." ”

As soon as these words came out, the little gangster immediately blushed, and said hesitantly, "I am indeed not Zhou Ping's apprentice, I am just swaggering and deceiving outside under the banner of his apprentice......"

"I didn't expect you to say that yourself. Zhou Ping smiled and put the chess box on the chessboard, and said softly, "I can see that you are also a person who sincerely asks for chess, then I will give you a sentence, as long as you remember this sentence, you may not be able to become the chess master in your mouth." ”

The little thug immediately bowed down in front of Zhou Ping and made a deferential look.

"The game of chess is not only won or lost on the board, but also outside the board. Zhou Ping pointed to the chess box he had placed on the chess table, as if he meant something.

The little gangster was also smart, and immediately understood what Zhou Ping meant, got up and began to hurriedly clean up the chess pieces on the chess table.

After doing this, Zhou Ping turned to look at Xiaoyun, and said softly, "Don't let your grandfather play chess in the future, using the chess table as a gambling game is not a legitimate livelihood, I can help you once today, it's hard to guarantee that no one will break his legs in the future, understand?"

Xiaoyun nodded hurriedly, thanked him again and again, and helped his grandfather to leave the chess hall.

At this time, all the surrounding chess players came over, they have all seen Zhou Ping's chess strength, these chess players are old chess fans, and everyone wants to get acquainted with such a young man.

The Beast Emperor grabbed Zhou Ping's arm, Zhou Ping bowed slightly at him, and the two disappeared in an instant, and before everyone in the chess hall could react, the two appeared on the street a hundred meters away.

"I've been wondering, since you know that girl, why don't you just kill that little thug to help, now I understand, you're going to kill people......" The Beast Emperor laughed.

Zhou Ping nunnified his nose, pulled out a smile from the corner of his mouth and said, "You think it's murder, that's murder......"

Perhaps this is where the difference between father and son lies, the Beast Emperor is nothing more than how to subdue or kill the other party when facing this situation, in his opinion, this is the best way to solve the problem, and he just has this ability.

But Zhou Ping is different from him, what he thinks about is how to better solve the problem, there are many ways to solve the problem, Zhou Ping does not shy away from killing, in this world, it is impossible for people like him to live without killing, but in Zhou Ping's view, killing is only a means, not an end or result, and this means is a means that Zhou Ping looks down on the most.

Zhou Ping took a deep breath and walked aimlessly on the street with the Beast Emperor, his heart was very chaotic now, he didn't want to say anything, he didn't want to do anything, because he didn't know what was the motivation to support himself to keep saying and doing.

"I want the world to be simple, but you keep making it more and more complicated, and I don't want to be held hostage by you anymore......"

When he said this, Zhou Ping's eyes seemed to be flashing with tears.

"If you are not my son, if you are not a hero of the Tang Dynasty, if you are not the righteous son of the god of war Chu Li, you may be able to live the life you want to live, but unfortunately there are not so many if......s in this world" The Beast Emperor patted Zhou Ping on the shoulder and said softly.

"This world always follows a law, that is, the strong are respected, now I am the strongest existence in the world, all living beings have to live by looking at my eyes, even if you are my son, if you want true freedom, then go and become stronger, strong enough to suppress me. ”

Speaking of this, the Beast Emperor's eyes gradually became cold, and his powerful intelligence network seemed to have received some news from afar, and this news made him change color.

After pondering for a long time, the Beast Emperor slowly spoke, "Zhou Ping, in fact, no one has ever forced you to do anything, and it has always been you who have forced you to move forward from beginning to end, your unwillingness, your obsession, and your emphasis on love and righteousness......"

"In the future, you will have to follow your own path, I will not interfere with your decision from now on, and of course, I will not give you any help again, unless you are willing to follow me back to the Ten Thousand Beast Forest and confess your identity as the Crown Prince of the Beast Emperor in front of the King of Ten Thousand Beasts. ”

Zhou Pinghu frowned suspiciously, and asked cautiously, "Really?"

The Beast Emperor bowed slightly, he closed his eyes, and sighed, the matter has come to this point, and he is also responsible, but no matter what the process is, Zhou Ping should always embark on the path he arranged.

"Then I'll leave now?" Zhou Ping said tentatively.

"Where are you going?" the Beast Emperor asked.

When he asked, Zhou Ping's brain was running rapidly, and when he was in the Ten Thousand Beasts Forest, he always felt that he had a lot of people to see, but when he was truly free, he didn't know who to meet first.

After thinking about it, Zhou Ping shrugged his shoulders and said, "This is the closest to Zhang Xiaoyue's residence, then I'll go to see Zhang Xiaoyue first, and after seeing Zhang Xiaoyue, I will report their safety to them through the messenger jade." ”

Zhang Xiaoyue! Sure enough, it's Zhang Xiaoyue!

The Beast Emperor's face changed, and he immediately reached out and grabbed Zhou Ping, who was about to leave, Zhou Ping frowned, and asked, "What's the matter?"

I saw that the Beast Emperor shook his head slowly, and sighed, "Zhang Xiaoyue is not in his residence, you don't know where he is, in order to ensure your safety, I should take you to him." ”

"Guarantee my safety?" Zhou Ping scratched his head, what danger would it be to go to see Zhang Xiaoyue by himself?

Suddenly, he suddenly remembered what the gangster had said to him in the teahouse, the gangster said that Zhou Ping betrayed the Tang Dynasty and was besieged and killed by the Tang Dynasty's border-breaking powerhouses in Chang'an City, since this kind of news can come out, it means that Li Si has completely given up on Zhou Ping, and he made up trumped-up charges for Zhou Ping, distorting the facts in Chang'an City, in order to let Zhou Ping die as a traitor, not as a hero, because only in this way can the impact of this matter on the people of Datang be minimized!

But doing so undoubtedly touched the backlash of his brothers, they will definitely not give up on Li Si, especially Zhang Xiaoyue, he has an impulsive personality, maybe he has already begun to take action against Li Si!

"Where is Zhang Xiaoyue, take me to see him immediately!" Zhou Ping grabbed the Beast Emperor's arm and yelled.
