At the Valley Sunset Hotel, Yang Xiao, Qin Lu, Lao Qin and David sat in David's room drinking tea and chatting. Qin Lu carefully recounted his encounter with the three fat men.
After hearing this, David looked solemnly, looked at Lao Qin, and asked:
"Old Qin, you are more familiar with the city of Karachi than I am. Tell me, who has the golden-armored bodyguard?"
After hearing this, Lao Qin thought for a moment and said:
"As far as I know, there are only three people who have golden armor warriors. One is the city lord of Karachi City, Mr. Jino, one is the chess master Master Xue Rong, and the other is the rich man who owns the most mines, Station Manager Huang.
Apart from this, no one else should have golden-armored guards. After all, there are not many golden-armored guards in Wu Star. They are expensive and cannot be bought with money. They also require a certain social status. "
"If that's the case, whose subordinates should the three fat men who set up the chess game belong to? None of them need to cheat money in this way, right?"
"Cheating money?"
Yang Xiao was stunned and said:
"You are mistaken. They did not set up the chess game to cheat money."
"They're not cheating money? Then what are they doing? Are they giving money away?"
Lao Qin said.
The three of them looked at Yang Xiao together.
Yang Xiao smiled and said:
“I’ve had two contacts with them, and I feel like they don’t care about crystal coins, they care about people.”
"people?"
The three of them looked at Yang Xiao and shook their heads, expressing their confusion.
"Master Yang, please explain clearly."
Yang Xiao smiled and said:
"Their purpose of setting up that chess game was not to defraud money, but to find someone who could crack the endgame."
"This is strange. The three of them have obviously earned 4 million crystal coins through gambling. If Master Yang and Uncle Dai hadn't joined the gambling, the three of them could have earned more than 10 million crystal coins. Isn't it just for money?"
Qin Lu said.
"That blind trick is for money on the surface, but it actually uses high stakes to attract everyone's attention and attract everyone. But the essential purpose is to find someone who can crack the chess game. Of course, they didn't expect to crack the chess game. It’s me, the unknown person.”
"What do you mean?"
"The meaning is very simple. Isn't there going to be a Go competition in a few days? Some people want to use this method to see if there is an opponent with better chess skills than themselves, so as to determine whether they can reach the finals and win. It is a kind of A little trick to detect the opponent’s level before the game.”
"understood!"
Lao Qin slapped his head and said loudly.
"The ones who are most vocal about winning the championship now are Xue Rong's favorite disciple Zuo Yuan, Stationmaster Huang's son Huang Mi, and the eldest prince's subordinate Long Yue. I guess one of them wants to use this chess game to test it out in advance. Opponents, maybe the people they want to test most are two of them, not us."
...
After everyone analyzed it for a while, they felt that the problem was not big and there would be no hidden dangers, so they went back to their rooms to sleep.
After this incident, everyone admired Yang Xiao's chess skills even more.
Only then did David realize that Yang Xiao's chess skills were higher than he thought.
Early the next morning, after everyone had breakfast, Yang Xiao accompanied David to play chess in the room.
Naturally, Lao Qin and his son would not let go of such a good opportunity. For them, this was a rare opportunity to observe master-level chess skills.
Of course, David's chess skills were limited and he could not show Yang Xiao's superb chess skills.
Just after the first game of chess was played, Qin Lu was about to play chess with Yang Xiao when David's bodyguard walked in and said:
"Stationmaster Dai, someone is looking for Master Yang outside."
Everyone was stunned.
Yang Xiao had no one he knew well in Karachi, so how could anyone come looking for him?
Before everyone had time to think, a voice came from outside the door:
"Excuse me, Yang Xiao, is Master Yang here?"
Everyone walked out of the room and saw that it was the three fat men from yesterday, followed by two guards in golden armor.
David immediately raised his hand and said:
"David, I am the station commander of the base. Master Yang is my teacher. Who are you?"
The fat man glanced at David, smiled faintly, and said:
"Stationmaster Dai, our master wants to see Master Yang."
"Who is your master?"
Yang Xiao asked.
The fat man bowed slightly to Yang Xiao and said respectfully:
"Master Yang, don't worry. I will never hurt you. My master heard that you could crack the chess game. He was very curious about you and sent me here to invite you. He wants to play a game of chess with you. Regardless of victory or defeat, I offer you Remuneration of one million crystal coins."
After the fat man finished speaking, he handed a black gold card to Yang Xiao.
Yang Xiao hesitated and looked at David.
David asked carefully:
"Excuse me, who is your master?"
"Sorry, it's not convenient to disclose it at the moment, but you will know after some time."
Fatty's tone was relatively cold when he spoke to David and others, but he was very respectful when speaking to Yang Xiao.
David, Lao Qin and others did not dare to say anything at this moment, so they said to Yang Xiao:
"Master Yang, you can make up your own mind."
Yang Xiao accepted the black crystal card and said:
"Isn't it just playing chess? Since the other party paid a lot of money to invite me to play chess, why not go?"
Yang Xiao concluded that these people came to invite him openly. Although they did not reveal the identity of the master, they would not mess around. The key is that he was not involved in any grudges and no one else could frame him.
Yang Xiao immediately followed the three fat men away.
David and Qin Lu wanted to follow, but the fat man turned back and said:
"Don't follow us. Our master didn't invite you, and you won't be able to get in. But don't worry, we will send Master Yang back before evening. If we don't send him back, I will send someone over to tell you." .”
After saying that, the fat man walked away.
Qin Lu was stunned for a moment and muttered:
"Who is it, so arrogant?"
David and the other three hesitated for a moment, then ran outside the hotel door and saw Yang Xiao and the three fat men getting into a small spaceship and flying away.
Lao Qin was shocked and said:
"Private spaceships are not allowed to fly in the city of Karachi. The only person who can have this privilege is City Lord Jino. Could it be said that it was City Lord Jino who invited Master Yang to come over?"
"But why did the city lord set up this chess game and invite Master Yang to come over? According to the regulations, the city lord Jino, as the manager of Wu Xing in Ziyuan Star and the organizer of the competition, cannot participate in this Go competition."
"Perhaps he saw Master Yang's superb chess skills and wanted to play chess with Master Yang to hone his mental strength, right? After all, with Lord Jino's level of cultivation, it would be difficult to find someone in this city to hone his mental strength. "
"Everyone doesn't need to guess. Since the other party dares to send a spaceship to pick up Master Yang, it has indirectly revealed its identity. Master Yang will not be in any danger. Let's go about our own things."
Everyone nodded.
David and Qin Lu were both going to participate in the Go match, so they immediately went to the room to play.
Lao Qin went to the city to visit old friends.
