Chapter 306: Negotiation
Sitting on Baoshan and not knowing it, he still lives a poor life, so people will feel pathetic.
Zhuang Bufan looked at Huang Yun in front of him, this is how he felt, although the other party ranked eighth among the top ten bandits in the Ming Dynasty and was the famous "Light Car Captain", but he didn't know the value of "Vertical and Horizontal Spectrum", which was really a little sad.
Zhuang Bufan thought that a person who lived to his age should have deep knowledge, even if he couldn't understand the mystery of this chess game, but at least he wouldn't give it to others easily. He glanced at Huang Yun, who had a kind face, again, and felt that this person had really lived all these years in vain.
Huang Yun is also looking at the child in front of him, he can live to this age, and he has experienced countless ups and downs in the rivers and lakes, and he has not yet reported to the king of Hades, so he naturally has his cleverness.
Never easily reveals his strength, never arrogant in front of others, even if he is strong, he must pretend to be a dwarf, this is the key to his undefeated.
Those who underestimate the enemy often die of pride, and the second master of the martial saint Guan is the best example, and only by being able to endure humiliation can he achieve great things, and Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin, also illustrates this very well.
Ignoring the disdain in the child's eyes, Huang Yun laughed and said, "Little brother, don't you think that the old man doesn't understand the value of this chess game, so he will look at the old man like this." ”
was broken by Huang Yun's words, Zhuang Bufan is no longer so rebellious, he thought to himself that since this old man has the ability to penetrate people's hearts, it seems that he is not a general, it seems that the so-called top ten bandits, the court has no way to take them for more than ten years, they still have some skills.
Nodding slightly, Zhuang Bufan asked rhetorically: "Since the seniors know the value of this chess game, why do they still agree to the boy's request, the value of this chess game is compared to the jade unicorn." I don't know how many times more precious it is. ”
Who knew that Huang Yun just laughed and said: "Little brother's words are wrong, although this chess game is precious, the old man can't understand the mystery, isn't it like chicken ribs? Wouldn't it be a wise choice to simply trade it for what you want more? Rather, you trade with me, but remind me of the value of the game, don't you want to change it?"
His series of rhetorical questions made Zhuang Bufan a little unable to come back to his senses, but this smart and clever child naturally did not answer his words head-on, but had to say his true thoughts in a roundabout way, which is also the most basic skill in negotiation.
I only heard Zhuang Bufan say calmly: "Everyone in the world knows that Mr. Huang has the heaviest promise and has the reputation of 'a promise of a thousand gold'. Compared with the immovable Jibu, it is even better. So the kid dared to come today to confirm whether the rumors were true. ”
"Oh, how can I confirm it, little brother?"
Zhuang Bufan held his cheeks and said, "Where did this chess game come from, and how do you know whether it is true or false?"
Faced with this question, a look of embarrassment appeared on Huang Yun's face, and he pondered for a long time before he spoke: "It's not a secret. This chess book was passed to me by my old father-in-law, who was back then. It's just a gifted ranger, relying on perseverance, he actually made good luck and married a virtuous wife, and I didn't expect that his father, who was paralyzed in bed, would have such a chess book. ”
Hear Huang Yun's words. Zhuang Bufan nodded, expressing his belief that what he said was not false at all. Huang Yun saw that this kid didn't mean to interrupt him, so he continued: "This chess book was only taught to me by my father-in-law before he died, I don't know much about chess, and he only taught me martial arts before. I didn't mention chess, because although I heard him talk about the power of this chess game, I couldn't understand the mystery after half a lifetime of hard work. ”
Zhuang Bufan continued to nod, he very much agreed with Huang Yun's words, because few people knew the secret of this chess game, in his opinion, although Huang Yun's father-in-law had the chess game, he also did not understand the secret, so when he was dying, he could not tell Huang Yun clearly.
But how did his strange master know the secret? Couldn't he have never even seen the appearance of a chess game, and he knew how to decipher its mysteries, which was really incredible.
However, he immediately figured it out, because according to the available information, he knew that among the people who had mastered the mystery of chess games were Liu Bowen and Daoyan monks, so the master must have something to do with these two people, even if he was not their descendants, but at least he had an extremely close relationship with their descendants.
But there was another thing he couldn't understand, since the master had told him that the chess book itself was a secret book of martial arts, but why hadn't anyone really learned it? Shao Yong, who compiled this chess book, had no reliable record that he was a master of martial arts, and Liu Bowen and Daoyan were also strategists, and there was no information showing that they had the slightest trace of martial arts.
Could it be that they only learned the vertical and horizontal techniques in the chess game, but did not understand the martial arts in it? It is also difficult to explain why his creator, Shao Yong, did not know martial arts. After thinking about it, Zhuang Bufan had to comfort himself like this: Maybe Shao Yong himself couldn't practice martial arts because of his body.
He didn't expect that his guess would really come true, of course, this was something he only found out later, at this time he didn't have a chess game in his hand, and he was still trying his best to negotiate with Huang Yun.
"Mr. Huang, the kid has a reluctant request, I don't know if you can hand over the chess game to me to see, before I confirm its authenticity, I will not easily trade with you, after all, the jade unicorn is also worth a lot of money, even if you don't consider the fact that it is one of the eight tokens in the world, you can pawn some money when you get it from the pawnshop, right?"
Huang Yun couldn't laugh or cry about this essence, but the old rivers and lakes are old rivers and lakes after all, and they will not easily believe Zhuang Bufan's words, and naturally they will not be easily fooled.
I saw him take out a battle of paper, put it on the table in front of Zhuang Bufan, and said: "This is a chess game that I secretly copied, originally I wanted to use it to find out the mystery, but no matter how I looked, I couldn't understand the mystery. ”
Before Zhuang Bufan could speak, Huang Yun continued: "Old decay naturally knows that there is such a strange person in the world, they have the ability to never forget, and they can't hand over the whole book to the little brother to check because of old decay. As for whether our deal can be reached, it all depends on the sincerity of the little brother. ”
Zhuang Bufan couldn't help but smile bitterly, the old fox is the old fox, and his scheming was seen through by the other party at once. So he didn't insist anymore, carefully looked at the copied chess game, then nodded, and said: "Yes, it's indeed "Vertical and Horizontal Spectrum", but the kid is really not the old man's opponent, in case the old man kills people after he gets the jade unicorn, the kid doesn't have the nine lives of a cat." ”
"Haha, the old man is the heaviest promise, where will he go back on his word?"
Zhuang Bufan sighed, and said quietly: "But killing people is robbing finances, and it is common for bandits to do such things, and it can't be regarded as a backtrack, right?"
Seeing through his heart by this cunning child, Huang Yun's smile suddenly froze, and both parties fell into an embarrassing situation. (To be continued.) )
