Chapter 659: The Third Prince of War (3 updates)
Ever since Yang Xiao was picked up by Fatty in the morning, David and Qin Lu had been absent-minded while playing chess, and stopped playing after two games.
The two speculated on various possibilities, feeling uneasy and worried that something might happen to Yang Xiao.
In the afternoon, David became even more restless and ran outside the hotel several times to check on the situation. Later, he and Qin Lu simply sat in the lobby of the hotel playing chess. While playing chess, he glanced outside the door from time to time.
When the spaceship landed outside the gate, the two of them had already run out of the door. When they saw Yang Xiao stepping off the spacecraft, a stone fell from their hearts.
After the fat man left in the spaceship, the two people rushed up, looked at Yang Xiao, and said excitedly:
"Yang, Master Yang, are you okay?"
Suddenly, David realized that he cared about Yang Xiao.
Of course, this kind of care is more like the worry that someone has borrowed a precious item in your hand, and you are afraid that the other party will not return it.
Qin Lu is a young man who appreciates Yang Xiao more and hopes to get some help from him.
Yang Xiao smiled and said:
"Thanks for worrying, I'm fine."
Yang Xiao happened to have no dinner, so the three of them went to a nearby specialty restaurant to get a private room, ordered some delicious food, and started eating.
"Master Yang, did City Lord Jino invite you over?"
Qin Lu asked curiously.
"I went to the city lord's house, but I guess the person who saw me was not the city lord."
David was stunned and said:
"Why are you so sure? You have never met Lord Jinuo before."
Yang Xiao briefly described the scene when they met and said:
"As the lord of a city, Lord Jinuo must have many people who know him. If he wanted to see me, he would definitely not turn his back to me, nor would he mind telling me his real name and letting me see what he looks like.
But this middle-aged man kept his back to me and didn't introduce himself. I guess he didn't want to reveal his identity. "
After hearing this, David thought about it with some doubts and said:
"This is strange. You were taken to the city lord's home, but the person who met you was not the city lord. Who could this person be?"
"He must be surprised that you defeated him, right?"
"Yeah," Yang Xiao nodded.
"Then what else did he say to you?"
"He asked me to leave Station Commander Dai and follow him, and he also promised to help me solve the temporary ID issue."
Yang Xiao said lightly.
After hearing this, David's heart sank and he looked at Yang Xiao.
Yang Xiao smiled and said:
"I rejected him!"
"ah?"
David groaned, looked at Yang Xiao, and a stone fell from his heart.
This is what worries him the most, and he now regrets bringing Yang Xiao to Karachi.
With Yang Xiao's chess skills, almost everyone would give Yang Xiao an olive branch. Although Yang Xiao is a miner in his base and others cannot take it away by force, he cannot resist the demands of those in high positions.
Besides, David's base is not private, but is sent by Wu Xing. After all, the miners under him belong to the state.
For example, the Lord of Jinuo City could arrange to transfer Yang Xiao away in any name.
"You rejected him, what did he say?"
"The other party didn't force me to stay. After all, forceful melons are not sweet, right, haha!"
David smiled bitterly.
After dinner, Yang Xiao, David, and Qin Lu returned to the hotel to play chess.
After playing two games with each of them, Lao Qin came back.
Lao Qin glanced at the three of them, then suddenly lowered his voice and said mysteriously:
"Brother Dai, do you know what big news I heard today?"
David rolled his eyes at Lao Qin and said with a smile:
"I'm not a roundworm in your stomach, how do I know you heard any important news?"
"The Third Prince is here."
"Third Prince? Which Third Prince?"
"How many other third princes are there in our Great Dragon Empire? Have you forgotten the third prince who is known as the God of War? Have you become a fool by staying on Ziyuan Star for all these years?"
David was suddenly startled and looked at Lao Qin with wide eyes.
"real?"
"Why did I lie to you? I went to see some old friends today and had dinner together in the evening. One of them is the deputy captain of the bodyguard of Lord Jino's family. He said it himself that the Third Prince has been here for several days."
"Why did the Third Prince suddenly come to Ziyuan Star?"
"I don't know about this, but I'm definitely not here for fun."
Suddenly a light flashed in David's mind, he glanced at Yang Xiao and said:
"Do you know who the person you played chess with today is?"
"You mean the Third Prince?"
David nodded.
Lao Qin immediately looked at Yang Xiao in surprise.
Qin Lu briefly told his father, Lao Qin, the situation. After hearing this, Lao Qin slapped his thigh and said:
"Yes, it should be him. Master Yang, you are in great luck. The Third Prince will like you. You will have a good life in the future."
"I rejected him. If I had known that he was your so-called third prince, I would have agreed to him."
Lao Qin looked at Yang Xiao with great regret and heartache.
"You actually rejected the Third Prince's invitation?"
"Ah? What's wrong?"
Yang Xiao looked indifferent. In fact, he had never thought about following the Third Prince. With his current cultivation level, following those high-ranking people might not necessarily gain him respect and importance.
He did not want to enter the center of the power storm of Witch Star prematurely. He did not have the ability to protect himself. As long as there were some fluctuations in the center of power, he might be the first to die.
If he were asked to choose again now, he would still reject the Third Prince's invitation.
How can being a slave of the Third Prince be as enjoyable as being David's teacher?
Moreover, Yang Xiao's intuition told Yang Xiao that the secret of the savages using the Purple Source Crystals at the mine base would be cracked by him sooner or later. He was very curious about the savages directly using the crystals to feed the monsters, and always vaguely felt that he could find it. A shortcut to increase your genetic evolution speed.
Lao Qin was a man who tried to find tricks and felt that if Yang Xiao could become someone close to the Third Prince, he would have one more network of people to cling to the Third Prince, so he felt very sorry.
In the next few days, Yang Xiao went to Zhenlong Chess Hall to play chess with David and Qin Lu during the day. Here, it seemed that he could hear all kinds of news.
Slowly, news spread that the third prince of the Great Dragon Empire had come to Karachi, and everyone speculated on the purpose of the third prince's trip.
"The Third Prince is here for sightseeing in Ziyuan Star, right?"
"No, I think he may be here for this Go competition."
"Impossible. Ziyuanxing's Go competition is just a small event. It's not worthy of the Third Prince's visit."
"It is said that the front line of the Great Dragon Empire is tight now. Could he be here to collect the Purple Source Crystal Stone?"
"Well, I think this speculation is somewhat reliable."
Three days later, the first round of the Go competition began.
There were more than 2,000 people who came to participate in the game. Everyone gathered in the Karachi City Square. More than 2,000 people entered the city square. Each person was given a number and sat on the chess table according to their respective numbers.
After the first round, more than a thousand winners entered the second round in the afternoon.
After the second round of competition, there were only about 600 people left.
Both David and Qin Lu successfully passed the second round.
The next morning, there was another round of knockout rounds, and more than 300 winners entered the next round.
In the afternoon, more than 300 people entered the knockout round again, and Qin Lu and David were eliminated one after another.
For David, being able to enter the top 100 is his best result in all previous competitions and he is very satisfied.
After two more days of knockout rounds, the 20 winners entered the finals.
In the previous knockout rounds, only before the first game, City Lord Jino and Go Master Xue Rong spoke a few words symbolically, and they never appeared again.
After the final started, there were suddenly a few more people on the podium.
City Lord Jino, Go Master Xue Rong, and three others, a total of five people sat on the rostrum.
In the center of the rostrum, sat a middle-aged man with a solemn face and a majestic aura.
Yang Xiao, David, Qin Lu, and Lao Qin were all standing in the crowd of spectators. Someone suddenly whispered:
"The person sitting in the center of the rostrum must be our Third Prince, the God of War of the Great Dragon Empire."
Yang Xiao took a closer look and felt vaguely familiar.
