After drinking a cup of tea, Bai Xiaosheng put down the tea cup and said: "I heard from Gong Ziyu that Chu Xiaoyou's chess skills are unparalleled. I wonder if I will be able to play a few games with my little friend these days." ?”
Chu Qinghe smiled and said, "It's natural for this junior to have someone to play chess with."
Seeing this, Bai Xiaosheng smiled and said: "In that case, in the next few days, I will wait for you in the yard opposite my little friend."
Chu Qinghe said with a smile: "I will definitely come as promised."
Hearing this, Bai Xiaosheng nodded to Chu Qinghe, put down his tea cup, then slowly stood up and left.
After Bai Xiaosheng left, Jellyfish Yinji smiled and said: "I thought Gongzi Yu bought the yard opposite so that we could visit each other easily when we live there in the future. I didn't expect to let Bai Xiaosheng live there first."
After saying that, Jellyfish Yinji changed her words and said: "The news has just been delivered to Great Qin, and Bai Xiaosheng came here in advance. With such a anxious look, it seems that he really takes this matter seriously."
Chu Qinghe said: "After all, it is related to the future of Baixiao Pavilion. As the master of Baixiao Pavilion, Bai Xiaosheng naturally attaches great importance to it."
At this time, Huanwen said: "That's not right! Since this matter is so important to Bai Xiaosheng and Bai Xiaoge, it's impossible for Bai Xiaosheng not to know why he didn't just hold a little and then sell it at a higher price. To prevent your thoughts from being too obvious?"
Listening to Huan Huan's words, everyone smiled.
But several people also understood that although Huanwen had been with Chu Qinghe for a long time, she had basically not gone out much since she returned to the Ming Dynasty from the Tang Dynasty, and nothing else happened around Chu Qinghe. Naturally, she did not Like Qu Feiyan and Jellyfish Yinji, after experiencing things like the Qinglong Society and Zhu Wuwu, they understand how terrifying Chu Qinghe's mind is.
In this regard, Jellyfish Yinji explained: "Bai Xiaosheng and Qinghe have been in contact a lot. Looking at the world, apart from us, Bai Xiaosheng and Gongziyu know the most about Qinghe, so Bai Xiaosheng also knows , since Qinghe read his letter and knew that he was coming, his purpose was already clear."
"If Bai Xiaosheng holds it now, it will look a bit artificial."
"Now there is only a tacit understanding between Bai Xiaosheng and Qinghe."
Facing what Jellyfish Yinji said, Hanhan suddenly understood.
Then, Lianxing looked at Chu Qinghe and asked, "Brother-in-law, now that your news has been sent back to Great Qin, do you think it will be Li Chunfeng or Donghuang Taiyi who comes later?"
Chu Qinghe said calmly: "If you are a man, you should be fully prepared for the two of you to arrive together."
"If it's for personal gain, then Li Chunfeng is more likely."
Hearing this, Lianxing said in astonishment: "Is it Li Chunfeng who speaks for personal reasons? Brother-in-law, why do you say that?"
Chu Qinghe said: "Many times, some characteristics of a person can be gleaned from the first meeting."
"When I was in the Great Qin Kingdom, when Li Chunfeng saw me running the "Four Symbols of Heaven's Will" to refine a large amount of the power of heaven and earth, and when he saw Dongfang, Situ and Yao Yue, they did not take action immediately, but stood aside His face looked like he was thinking, but Donghuang Taiyi immediately wanted to interrupt Situ and the others' breakthrough after meeting them."
"Afterwards, from the conversation between Li Chunfeng and Donghuang Taiyi, it can be seen that Li Chunfeng did not want to cause trouble. On the contrary, Donghuang Taiyi, as the Imperial Court Division of the Great Xia Dynasty, had a strong and resolute attitude and thought about the Great Xia Dynasty."
"When he was in the Tang Dynasty, Yuan Tiangang recounted some of the deeds of the Great Xia Dynasty. It seems that Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang were even in power. For thousands of years, the Great Xia Dynasty was condemned because of the fact that the land of Kyushu contained dragon veins. The country drives us.”
Jellyfish Yinji said: "You mean, Li Chunfeng also wants to betray the Great Xia Dynasty?"
Chu Qinghe responded: "This possibility cannot be ruled out."
"After all, it is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and things like business opportunities have always been fleeting. You must either take the initiative to seize it or create it."
"If the person coming this time is really Li Chunfeng, I don't know whether Li Chunfeng wants to seize the opportunity or create this opportunity."
Listening to Chu Qinghe's words, Jellyfish Yinji and Hanhan seemed to be thinking.
After a few breaths, Qu Feiyan said in confusion: "Master, last time..."
The next day, early morning.
After breakfast, Chu Qinghe set out to walk out of the house calmly.
Almost as soon as Chu Qinghe walked out of the door, Sun Baifa, who was leaning against the door and smoking a cigarette in the opposite courtyard, immediately swallowed the puff of cigarette he had just taken and showed a kind smile to Chu Qinghe.
Walking in front of Sun Baifa, Chu Qinghe glanced at the cigarette in Sun Baifa's hand and said with a smile: "Senior's way of smoking without blowing out smoke is rare."
Hearing what Chu Qinghe said, Sun Baifa laughed dryly and said, "I'm used to being thrifty. It would be a waste to spit it out."
While talking, Sun Baifa turned his head and pushed open the door to invite Chu Qinghe into the courtyard.
But when he turned around, Sun Baifa's face turned slightly red as his throat twitched.
Apparently, Sun Baifa also felt a little uncomfortable after swallowing the puff of cigarette just now.
"Mom, I won't smoke such strong tobacco again."
By the time Chu Qinghe was sent to the inner courtyard, Bai Xiaosheng was already sitting quietly at the stone table in the courtyard waiting.
When he saw Chu Qinghe, Bai Xiaosheng stood up immediately.
After Chu Qinghe approached, Bai Xiaosheng greeted him before sitting down together.
After a brief exchange of greetings, Bai Xiaosheng and Chu Qinghe did not talk about anything else, but began to play chess.
Sun Baifa walked to the side and leaned against a tree, smoking a cigarette and watching the two play chess.
As the sunspots in his hand fell on the chessboard, Bai Xiaosheng said in a calm tone: "Looking at my little friend's behavior, you already have a good idea of the Great Xia Dynasty?"
After the same piece was placed on the chessboard, Chu Qinghe held up half of his face with his left hand and said, "What do you think, senior?"
After Bai Xiaosheng made his move, he responded: "Young man, I never do anything I'm not sure about. From my perspective, I already have a 60% chance of winning against the Great Xia Dynasty this time."
Chu Qinghe asked: "If there is a 60% chance of winning, is it enough for senior to entrust himself and the entire Baixiao Pavilion?"
Bai Xiaosheng sighed and said: "How can there be a 99% chance of winning in a big gamble in the world? It is not easy to reach 60%, so it is naturally enough."
On one side is the Daxia Dynasty, who has no idea about the situation and the details, and on the other side is Chu Qinghe, who has been in contact with it for a while, knows everything about it, and has a guaranteed reputation.
We are both in the land of Kyushu, not to mention that Chu Qinghe only has a 60% chance of winning, even if it is only 50%, for Bai Xiaosheng, this big gamble is not impossible to consider.
Facing what Bai Xiaosheng said, Chu Qinghe smiled and said: "Since a 60% chance of winning is enough, then it is a 60% chance of winning."
As soon as these words came out, the chess piece on Bai Xiaosheng's fingertips that was moving towards the chessboard paused in the air.
After pondering for a moment and placing the chess pieces on the chessboard, Bai Xiaosheng continued to ask: "What if I say there is a 70% chance of winning?"
Chu Qinghe made the move without thinking and said in a lazy voice: "That's 70%."
Hearing this, Bai Xiaosheng did not continue to make moves, but looked at Chu Qinghe thoughtfully and said: "It seems that my little friend is more confident than I imagined?"
Hearing this, Chu Qinghe said: "Senior, I also know that I have always been lazy and have no interest in external affairs, so I just want to guard this three-acre land and the people around me, but it often seems that the simplest things in the world The more difficult it is to achieve something.”
"For this, I have to make some preparations."
"Although the Daxia Dynasty is strong, it is not so strong that I need to be timid."
Bai Xiaosheng thought for a moment and then asked: "Since we want to ride in the same boat, I wonder if my friend could make it clear?"
Chu Qinghe said slowly: "Whether we say it or not is a matter of the future. What's more, for seniors, the specific chance of winning is not that important in itself, is it?"
Upon hearing this, Sun Baifa, who was leaning on a tree trunk and smoking a cigarette, suddenly froze.
Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile on his face: "It seems that I have guessed it too."
Chu Qinghe smiled and said: "In the style of seniors, they are not the kind of people who would easily put all their wealth on gambling. No matter what, there will always be some opportunities to make money."
"Compared to the Great Xia Dynasty, Baixiao Pavilion is just a dispensable tool. It can only target the affairs of Kyushu."
"It would be a pity to throw away the food afterward. But for me, we are in the same land of Kyushu, and we know each other's roots. If we can win the bet, from now on Baixiao Pavilion's branch halls can also spread all over the land of Kyushu."
"Since it is a gambling game, with heavy bets but no big profits, who is willing to join this gambling game?"
Baixiaoge acts too secretively.
Hundreds of years ago, apart from the members of the Baixiao Pavilion branches in various towns, the outside world had never seen other members of the Baixiao Pavilion.
But Bai Xiaoge's spies are everywhere.
The only person who controls all the members of Baixiao Pavilion is Bai Xiaosheng himself.
If Bai Xiaosheng didn't take the initiative to explain, even if the people of the Great Xia Dynasty wanted to search for the person in Bai Xiao Pavilion, they would undoubtedly be looking for a needle in a haystack.
Under such circumstances, it would not be easy for Bai Xiaosheng to arrange for the corresponding people to hide in the dark and then find time to make a comeback.
Even Chu Qinghe has reason to believe that Baixiao Pavilion has even done this.
There are only a handful of top powers in the world, and first-rate powers can also be recorded.
But in the land of Kyushu, there are countless unfavorable forces and even third-rate forces.
Who would have known that these forces were secretly established by Baixiao Pavilion?
Therefore, even if Bai Xiaosheng bets on himself, even if he fails in the future, although Bai Xiaoge will be severely damaged, it will definitely not be devastated.
The most that can be done is to change the entrance hall.
Regarding what Chu Qinghe said, Bai Xiaosheng sighed and said, "I didn't expect that my little friend would think about things so thoroughly. I really can't hide my old thoughts from my little friend at all."
In response to this, Chu Qinghe shook his head and said: "It's just a matter of putting yourself in someone else's shoes. If I were in my senior position, I would do the same things as my seniors. If I believe in my seniors' minds, I would naturally only do the same things." better."
Bai Xiaosheng chuckled and said: "It's no wonder that there are so many beauties around me. It really makes people feel like they are in the spring breeze when they speak."
Then, Bai Xiaosheng said: "My little friend can be so confident, and I feel more at ease."
After saying that, Bai Xiaosheng stopped talking and concentrated on playing chess with Chu Qinghe.
However, half a quarter of an hour later, looking at the dead game on the chessboard, Bai Xiaosheng smiled, threw the chess pieces back into the chess box and admitted defeat, then started picking the chess pieces for the second game.
When it was approaching noon, Chu Qinghe said: "Okay, let's go down here in the morning! After taking a nap in the afternoon, I will come back to bother senior."
Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile: "Little friend, walk slowly."
After nodding to Bai Xiaosheng, he turned around and walked lazily toward the door.
When Sun Baifa returned to the courtyard, he sat directly opposite Bai Xiaosheng.
"Then the little fox has really become a spirit! He even guessed these things."
Looking at Sun Baifa with a surprised look on his face, Bai Xiaosheng also sighed and said, "Yes! I never thought that little friend Chu would have already guessed this step."
Sun Baifa asked: "What do you mean? Have you met the people from the Daxia Dynasty yet?"
Bai Xiaosheng said: "Why not? This is why we came here this time. Now that the words have been spoken, we should look at Chu Xiaoyou's attitude towards the people of the Great Xia Dynasty before making a decision."
After saying that, Bai Xiaosheng lowered his head slightly and looked at the chessboard on the table, and couldn't help but frown slightly.
Noticing Bai Xiaosheng's expression, Sun Baifa also lowered his head slightly and glanced at the chessboard. Then he glanced at Bai Xiaosheng with disdain and said: "I have played ten games in the morning and haven't won any of them. You are like this." He also often boasts that he has no opponent in the world at chess, which is quite embarrassing."
Bai Xiaosheng shook his head and said: "What do you know? Gong Ziyu also said before that Chu Xiaoyou's chess skills are rare in the world. He has already reached the level of entering the palace. He can be called everyone, and he is in the same league as me."
"And my mind this morning was all on what Chu Xiaoyou said before, so it was inevitable that I would be distracted. It's normal that I won't win."
"Wait until the afternoon, then slowly show off your true skills."
Sun Baifa curled his lips with a look of disdain.
In this regard, Bai Xiaosheng did not pay attention to Sun Baifa, but closed his eyes while the real energy in his body was circulating. It seemed that he was practicing, but in fact, his mind kept recalling Chu Qinghe's chess moves and style when he played against Chu Qinghe before. Prepare for the afternoon chess game.
In the evening, when the sky was getting dark, the voice of Jellyfish Yinji suddenly came from Chu Qinghe's mind.
"Qinghe, the food is ready."
After Chu Qinghe placed the chess pieces on the table, he slowly stood up and said to Bai Xiaosheng, "Okay, my family has asked me to have dinner. I will come back to my senior tomorrow to continue playing chess."
After hearing Chu Qinghe's words, Bai Xiaosheng, who was frowning and thinking hard, was stunned for a moment and then quickly responded: "Oh, I'm delaying my friend, go slowly."
Seeing this, Chu Qinghe raised his hand to signal to Sun Baifa on the side, then jumped up and jumped back to his own yard from Bai Xiaosheng's yard.
After Chu Qinghe left, Bai Xiaosheng looked at the dead game on the chessboard, his expression once again lost.
"How could it be a dead end again? It shouldn't be!"
At the same time, after watching Chu Qinghe return, Jellyfish Yinji used her true energy to gather a ball of clear water in front of Chu Qinghe.
When Chu Qinghe put his hand into the clear water to wash his hands, Jellyfish Yinji asked: "How do you feel?"
Chu Qinghe was washing his hands and said with a smile on his face: "Not bad, this Bai Xiaosheng is very strong. He has not been discouraged even after losing all day. I feel like he can win again tomorrow."
Hearing Chu Qinghe's words, Lianxing on the side said in shock: "You haven't given up even after losing all day? Is this Bai Xiaosheng so persistent?"
When the voice reached his ears, Chu Qinghe couldn't help but turn his head and glance at the yard opposite, and raised the corners of his mouth.
Happiness doesn't disappear, it only moves.
Just like the smile on Bai Xiaosheng's face, it was now transferred to Chu Qinghe's face.
