The spaceship landed in the middle of the city near the river.
This is a separate courtyard with a private river bank. The courtyard is large and enclosed by walls.
The spacecraft landed directly on an open square in the courtyard.
"Master Yang, we are here."
Fatty took Yang Xiao out of the spaceship.
Yang Xiao glanced at it and said with a smile:
"You should be able to tell me where this place is now, right?"
"Actually, there is nothing to hide. Your friends will be able to guess when they see this spaceship. This is the residence of Lord Jinuo. In Karachi, only the Lord's private spaceship can fly. Even Master Xue Rong's private spaceship can fly. They can no longer fly within the city."
The fat man said proudly.
"It seems that the Lord of the City is looking for me?"
"Haha, you'll find out later."
The fat man smiled mysteriously and walked inside with Yang Xiao.
After passing through several houses, we came to a garden.
There is another pond in the garden, and a pavilion by the water. A middle-aged man is facing the pond, with his back to Yang Xiao and others.
The fat man walked over with Yang Xiao, bowed to the middle-aged man's back very respectfully, and whispered:
"Master, Master Yang has invited us here."
Yang Xiao stood in the pavilion, about three meters away from the middle-aged man. There was a stone table in the center of the pavilion. There was a chessboard on the table. He glanced at it and saw that it was the last game between himself and the fat man yesterday. He defeated it with black. Fatty.
The middle-aged man turned his back to Yang Xiao and said softly:
"This chess game was played by you and my men yesterday?"
Yang Xiao nodded.
"How about playing a game with me? You can choose between black and white. It's the same game as yesterday."
"good."
Yang Xiao didn't hesitate at all.
The middle-aged man nodded and ordered the fat man:
"Rearrange the chessboard."
"Yes, Master."
The fat man took off the chess board on the stone table, took out a new chess board from the space ring, and then sat across from the old man. Their consciousnesses moved slightly, and they saw white stones and black stones falling one after another. In the blink of an eye, The chess game was set up, exactly the same as yesterday.
The fat man and the old man got up and left.
"Master, the chess game is set."
"Well, Mr. Yang, you choose first."
Yang Xiao was not polite, sat down immediately and said:
"I choose Kuroko."
"Okay, Heizi will go first."
Yang Xiao's consciousness moved slightly, and he mobilized a sunspot, which landed on the chessboard.
The fat man and the old man stood nearby and took a look, and immediately blurted out,
"Master Yang, you didn't leave like this yesterday!"
Yang Xiao: "#￥%"
Who told you that I have to leave the same way as yesterday?
"Haha, everything in the world is like a new chess game. I have forgotten how I played it yesterday."
Yang Xiao said lightly, with a pretentious aura coming to his face.
The middle-aged man still didn't turn around, nodded and said:
"Master Yang is indeed a master."
After saying that, a white stone jumped out of the chess box and landed on the chess board.
The middle-aged man did not turn around, but he could control the chess pieces to fall on the chessboard so accurately, which showed his strong mental power.
Yang Xiao didn't care about that and started fighting with him immediately.
The middle-aged man's chess skill is indeed higher than that of the fat man, but not much higher.
Yang Xiao took more than a dozen steps and finally landed on a crucial sunspot.
laugh!
The middle-aged man quickly pierced his mind with a sharp thorn, and his spirit suddenly became tense.
Fatty and Laozi on the side looked at the changes in the chessboard situation and became inexplicably nervous.
The middle-aged man started a desperate counterattack. Bai Zi constantly surrounded and intercepted Hei Zi, but they were all resolved by Yang Xiao's clever moves.
Ten steps later, Yang Xiao began to eat Bai Zi step by step.
Beads of sweat began to form on the middle-aged man's forehead.
The three fat men watching on the side seemed more nervous than their master, wiping sweat constantly and not daring to breathe.
After another ten steps, Yang Xiao basically established the victory.
The space around the middle-aged man began to fluctuate slightly, and his consciousness was unstable.
A white stone hung in the sky above the chessboard, unable to fall for a long time.
"well!"
The middle-aged man let out a long sigh, and the white piece fell down with a "pop" and rolled twice on the chessboard.
"I lost. Mr. Yang is really good at chess."
Yang Xiao looked at the back of the middle-aged man and thought to himself, your mother has been showing off and won't even turn around?
"Haha, I'm lucky."
"Haha, can this be explained by good luck?"
Yang Xiao was speechless and could only acquiesce.
"Master Yang is from the earth?"
"Yes."
"A miner working for Station Master David?"
"right."
"David is applying for a temporary ID card for you, but you had a fight with one of David's men some time ago and killed him. This temporary ID card cannot be applied for now."
Yang Xiao was stunned. This person knew so much about his situation?
On second thought, since he is the Lord of Jinuo City, it is probably normal for David to submit the information for applying for a temporary ID card to him, so that he can know his information.
"I was having a normal private duel with him. I made a mistake and accidentally injured him."
"The reason is not important, the result is important. I will give you two choices. One, continue to stay with David as a miner. You will be able to obtain a temporary ID card after one year."
"What about the second option?" Yang Xiao asked
"The second option is also very simple. Come to Karachi and play chess with me, just like them."
The middle-aged man was referring to the three fat men. It was estimated that the three fat men were specially accompanying their master to play chess.
From another perspective, it is actually a sparring partner for middle-aged men to improve their mental strength.
Yang Xiao was stunned for a moment and said:
"Thank you for your kindness. I'd better go back to the base."
The three fat men on the side immediately looked at Yang Xiao in surprise, as if Yang Xiao had rejected a great good thing, and felt a little sad.
The middle-aged man also seemed a little surprised.
"Why? Isn't it better to follow me than to follow David?"
"There are more than a dozen brothers who came to Ziyuan Star with me. I made an appointment with them to depend on each other and never be separated."
This reason was a bit far-fetched, but the middle-aged man did not force Yang Xiao. He felt a little unhappy and said calmly:
"Okay, you can go."
The fat man immediately said to Yang Xiao:
"Master Yang, please follow me."
Yang Xiao cupped his fists at the middle-aged man's back and said:
"Farewell!"
Turn around and follow the fat man away.
After the old man saw Yang Xiao leaving the small garden, he bowed to the middle-aged man and said:
"Master, why don't you keep him here? Can he at least accompany you to hone your mental strength?"
"This boy is too arrogant. He has probably only been here for a short time and has not yet faced reality. He still thinks that they are the kings of the earth.
I don't like people who are too arrogant, and I would feel awkward playing chess together. Let him suffer more in the mine. "
The old man was silent.
Fatty accompanied Yang Xiao on the spaceship and flew to the Canyon Sunset Hotel.
Fatty looked at Yang Xiao regretfully all the way, as if Yang Xiao had missed a huge opportunity.
The spaceship landed in front of the hotel. Fatty accompanied Yang Xiao off the spacecraft and finally couldn't help but ask:
"Master Yang, why did you reject my master? This is a great opportunity for you. At least it can change your identity as a miner slave. You will have no worries about food and drink for the rest of your life. You can also have a certain social status. It is no better than mining in a mine. ?"
Yang Xiao smiled lightly and said:
"Your master shouldn't be the city lord, right?"
The fat man said nothing.
"When two people play chess, no matter their level or status, once they sit in front of the chessboard, everyone is equal. As a chess player, do you agree with this?"
The fat man was stunned for a moment, looked at Yang Xiao, and then nodded silently.
"Your master never turned around to face me from the beginning to the end, with a condescending and contemptuous attitude. How could he truly respect me?
If I'm not wrong, your chess skills haven't improved since you joined your master, right? "
The fat man's body trembled and he looked at Yang Xiao in surprise.
"You, how did you know?"
"Haha, it's very simple. In front of your master, you always have a slave mentality and are cautious. How can you be so versatile in chess and kill everyone?"
The fat man's eyes lit up, as if he saw light in the dark night, and he stared at Yang Xiao.
Yang Xiao waved his hand, turned around and walked into the hotel.
The fat man froze in place, thinking about Yang Xiao's words. After a long time, he smiled bitterly and said,
"Listening to your words is better than playing chess for ten years!"
