Chapter 937: Meeting You in the World, Meeting Flowers in the Rain

Many people seem to be staying out of it, but in fact, when you reach that position, there is no question of whether you are willing to wade into the muddy water or not.

Wu Qinhu understood this principle very well, so when Xia Tingyu came to him to go to the capital, Wu Qinhu agreed immediately.

Now in Shu, not only were the Shu Palace watching every move of him, who was one of the top ten people in the world and the master of the Beast Forest Mountain of a top-notch sect, but many martial artists in Shu knew that he was now in the Princess's Mansion and were also watching his actions.

But Wu Qinhu didn't care about these things. Everyone had their own things to do. What he had to do was to stay by Xia Tingyu's side and protect this girl. As for other things, you can stare at him if you want, he's an old man, it won't hurt you anyway.

Wu Qinhu was looking at the chessboard in front of him with a frown.

On the contrary, the old blind man who was one of the thirteen best players in the world, who was sitting opposite him, was at ease. Although he looked blind, he seemed to be able to see everything clearly. He turned his head to face Xia Tingyu who was sitting on the edge of the pavilion, smiled gently and said, "When I was young, I left my hometown and traveled far away. I came to a small lake. At that time, I could still see. I saw the clear water of the lake. The stones at the bottom of the lake were stacked up, shaking like layers of gullies. The water in it was shining and winding. Sometimes when the water flowed fast, small stones were swept away and fell somewhere else. I felt dizzy at the time, but I calmed down and looked carefully. What a chess game in the lake. It was just like what the book said that there are chess games everywhere in the world. I immediately took out the chessboard and chess pieces. I held the white pieces and watched how the lake water played the black pieces. I sat there for more than a month."

At this point, the old blind man smiled and shook his head: "At that time, many people scolded me for being mentally ill, and some even said that I was possessed by a water ghost in the lake. Haha, now that I think about it, that game of chess was quite inexplicable."

Wu Qinhu made a move with difficulty, then he reported where he had been and said, "So it was an inexplicable sudden enlightenment? And then it inexplicably came to an end?"

The old blind man sighed and shook his head, facing Wu Qinhu: "Old blind man, I didn't intend to tell you, why are you saying it out loud? It's so embarrassing. I just had an epiphany and entered the next step. It's not a big deal, don't tell me anymore."

Xia Tingyu smiled sweetly, opened the folding fan in her hand, and walked to the old blind man, gently waving the fan in her hand, and then said: "Master, how many chess players in the world are still watching and learning from your game of [Fuyang Lake Shengshui Jun], and many people are constantly speculating on the way of playing, but no one has been able to complete it so far. Even Master can only go to the 70th move and doesn't know what to do. What do you mean you are not allowed to say it? If I had such ability, I would beat the gong and drum every day to say it, how amazing it is."

The old blind man's mouth was already grinning. He just loved listening to the girl talk and felt comfortable.

Wu Qinhu watched the old blind man make a nonchalant move and couldn't help but frown again. This ordinary move completely blocked all his ways of survival, yet forced him to struggle.

The old blind man seemed to know what was going on. He laughed and scolded, "You were playing chess the wrong way to begin with. Now you've learned from Mu Xu, and then from Su Wenqing, and mixed in a bit of that bastard Luo Changfeng's moves. It'll be strange if you can play a few more moves with me!"

Wu Qinhu smiled bitterly when he heard this.

But at this moment, Xia Tingyu reached out and picked up Wu Qinhu's black piece and made a move.

Wu Qinhu was a man of quick wit, otherwise he would not have been able to build the Shoulin family business by himself. But when he saw the move, his expression was stunned, and he lowered his head to look at this move which could be called elegant.

The old blind man didn't need Xia Tingyu to tell him the way out. It was as if he knew where he was going. He smiled and said, "It's a graceful move to end up here. It won't be a bad death. But it's a dead chess piece. You either struggle to the death or think about dying together. You want to kill as many as you can before you die. But you forget that since you can be forced into a desperate situation, your every move is beyond the imagination of the person playing against you."

It seems to be teaching Xia Tingyu.

As he spoke, he made another move.

The deadlock becomes more obvious.

Xia Tingyu smiled and said, "It's not like a deadlock can't be resolved. No matter how big the chess game is, there are always players, right?"

As he was talking, Xia Tingyu sat next to the old blind man and said coquettishly with a wronged look on her face: "Master has won so many games, so what's wrong with losing one game, okay~~"

The old blind man was silent for a moment and then turned to Wu Qinhu: "Let's not talk about your sons, just your granddaughter, how could she be like this?"

Wu Qinhu saw through the old blind man's intention and immediately chuckled, then said: "Your disciple is like this, anyone who comes will be confused, but since you have spoken, I will consider this round as my win."

Upon hearing this, the old blind man immediately cursed: "Shameless, you win!"

But after cursing like this, the old man turned to Xia Tingyu and said, "Are you satisfied?"

Xia Tingyu chuckled.

But just as he was about to say something, the old blind man continued, "Go and meet the guests."

Xia Tingyu was stunned for a moment, then looked up and saw the housekeeper of the mansion walking in with Dian Junming, and Wu Mao following beside them.

Xia Tingyu immediately walked out of the pavilion and greeted him: "Uncle Dian."

Dian Junming was a burly man. He waved his hand and said, "Girl, don't do this. Why are you doing this to me?"

As he spoke, Dian Junming looked at the two people in the pavilion and said immediately, "I saw a living person!"

Having said that, he left Xia Tingyu behind and strode into the pavilion.

Among all the skilled warriors in the world, Huang Chao was the best, and Wu Qinhu was second.

It’s like the swordsman saw that Yan Yunxiao and Shentu Kuyue were no different.

Xia Tingyu smiled and looked at Wu Mao. Wu Mao smiled and followed him.

Xia Tingyu looked at the steward and couldn't help but frowned: "Uncle Tao, Auntie is not feeling well, didn't I ask you to stay with her?"

The steward is called Liu Tao. He used to be a little attendant of Xia Tingyu's mother. Now he is the steward of the Princess's Mansion and also Kun Ling's father.

When Manager Liu heard this, he immediately said, "Don't worry, old lady. You have sent many people to serve us. I can't leave you here."

Xia Tingyu had no choice but to just go with it.

Liu Tao smiled, bowed, turned around and stood at the gate of the courtyard, preventing others from approaching.

Xia Tingyu smiled gently, turned her head and looked into the pavilion, only to see Dian Junming paying great respect to Wu Qinhu.

Xia Tingyu smiled playfully.

Dian Junming stood up and looked at Wu Qinhu: "Old senior, don't think I'm overdoing it. When I watched you fight Huang Chao in Liuzhou, I was so excited. I still admire you in my heart. To use the words of a scholar, that admiration is not much different from the endless flow of stars."

Xia Tingyu smiled and said, "Uncle, what are you talking about? Scholars don't talk like that."

Dian Junming immediately turned around and said, "Girl, scholars don't say that. What's the difference between what the Queen said, 'The Yellow River comes from the sky, flows to the sea and never returns' and what I said? Aren't they both about the river surging?"

Xia Tingyu smiled charmingly, and looked at Dian Junming with fox eyes: "Uncle, if you say so, it's true. It's because uncle has a strong fist. Which scholar in our Shu land dares to reason with you, uncle?"

Dian Junming chuckled and talked about the nonsense people were saying.

Wu Qinhu smiled and said, "General Dian's strength was honed on the battlefield. He is much stronger than the people in the martial arts world. General, there is no need to be modest."

Dian Junming immediately said, "I feel so happy when you said that."

Then he looked at the old blind man with a smile and immediately clasped his fists: "Hello, senior."

The old blind man waved his hand and said, "Come on, I'm not a horizontal practitioner. But why did the prince come here today? What else do you want me to do?"

Dian Junming took the wine glass from Xia Tingyu and said with a smile, "The prince said that Wang Mang went outside the city to look for Mr. Fang. I don't know why, but he asked me to come to the princess's residence, saying that you were coming here to meet Senior Wu today, and asked me to come here to join in the fun."

Dian Junming stood up and toasted Wu Qinhu, the old blind man, and Wu Mao. After drinking it in one gulp, he turned his head and looked at Xia Tingyu with an incredible look on his face: "Girl, what does your father mean."

Xia Tingyu took the wine pot and poured wine for the old blind man and others one by one, and said: "Father knows that you admire Grandpa Wu, so he specially asked you to come here. What else could it be? Uncle Wang, did he go to find Mr. Fang?"

Dian Junming nodded, not treating himself as an outsider, and picked up the raisins on the table: "I guess you have something to ask, Old Wang, you know it, and hasn't the Second Prince cut off contact with his daughter Fu Wei recently? Fu Wei is making a big fuss, I guess he's also having a headache."

Xia Tingyu opened her eyes wide and pretended not to know and asked, "Ruoyun and Fuwei broke up. I was wondering if they should get engaged."

Dian Junming immediately laughed and scolded: "You little bitch, are you pretending to be me? You told me about that at the city gate, but the Second Prince ran to the old prince's mansion in the middle of the night to break off the relationship, and you still pretend you don't know!"

Xia Tingyu chuckled and said, "Ruoyun didn't like Fuwei in the first place, she just lied to Fuwei. I can't bear to see Fuwei being deceived like this. Besides, Uncle Wang is very reasonable and treats Fuwei very well. Naturally, he doesn't want his daughter to be sacrificed."

Dian Junming ate a mouthful of raisins, looked at Xia Tingyu and scolded with a smile: "Are you scolding the old king? He is very reasonable. He is eager to marry Fu Wei to the Second Prince!"

But at this point, Dian Junming waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about this. Why are we talking about this? Brother Wu Mao and the two seniors will laugh at us."

As he spoke, Dian Junming clasped his fists towards Wu Qinhu, the old blind man and the other two.

The old blind man smiled and said, "Everyone has their own business, so why is it a joke?"

Wu Qinhu also smiled and nodded.

However, Dian Junming was not stupid enough to respond to these words. After thinking for a while, he stood up and clasped his fists towards Wu Qinhu: "Old senior, I don't know why the prince asked me to come here. I thought that since the old prince went to find Mr. Fang who doesn't interact with ordinary people, he asked me to come to you two masters. It's fair. After all, there are too many taboos. I don't dare to come. But since I'm here, can you take a few punches from me?"

Dian Junming patted his chest and said, "Old senior, although I am a military commander, I am confident in my fists and will definitely not let you down. I just wonder if you will give me a favor?"

Wu Qinhu smiled and gestured to go outside the pavilion.

Upon hearing this, Dian Junming immediately clasped his fists towards the old blind man, then ran out of the pavilion. He looked as excited as a child.

Xia Tingyu glanced at Dian Junming, then turned to look at the old blind man.

The old blind man smiled and said, "You know what this Dian guy is up to, so don't look at me."

Xia Tingyu pouted, looking unhappy, but then a cunning flash appeared in her fox eyes and she came to the old blind man.

But I haven't spoken yet.

As if the old blind man had guessed what the girl was going to say, he immediately laughed and scolded: "Don't bring up such evil ideas."

Xia Tingyu pursed her lips, then changed her words: "My father was actually very unhappy that I didn't kill Lao Wu that day."

The old blind man shook his head: "He is not unhappy, but he has thought about it a long time ago."

Xia Tingyu smiled and said, "I'm not talking about this. I know for sure that he had expected this. Didn't you just say that? How could the person who brought others into the game not think of these possible things? My father must have thought of them."

Bang!

Outside the pavilion, Dian Junming threw a punch and a shocking voice was heard.

But Xia Tingyu just spread out the folding fan in his hand, looked at the old blind man and said: "What I mean is that the chess player is never the best one, but the spectator who is not dragged into the game is the best one. Although there is a saying that a true gentleman watches chess without saying a word, if the spectator had said something to give some advice, the game would have come alive long ago, wouldn't it?"

As he spoke, Xia Tingyu picked up the black piece and placed it on the chessboard.

The game was doomed to fail, but after that elegant move, there was suddenly another move that showed signs of life.

only

This step is more of a disruption than an elegance.

The old blind man smiled with relief and whispered to Xia Tingyu, "From the last step you took, I knew you, a little girl, had figured out how to break the situation. You're quite good at pretending!"

Xia Tingyu stuck out his tongue and chuckled.

The old blind man smiled indulgently and said, "Wen He knew that Wang Mang would go to him. If you had known that Dian Junming would come, did you discuss it with the prince to test these two generals?"

Xia Tingyu immediately looked wronged: "I never thought about it, and I didn't even know Uncle Wang would go to find Master. I just thought that Master might have done it on purpose, but I haven't guessed what Master's purpose is yet."

But then, Xia Tingyu's fox eyes turned around: "But I think, Master is testing this Uncle Dian to see if he was dragged into the game by father or is just watching the game."

The old blind man asked, "Where is Wang Mang?"

Xia Tingyu shook his head: "Hasn't he already joined the game?"

The old blind man asked back: "If you enter the game, you can't just be a spectator?"

Xia Tingyu shook his head again: "He is not."

The old blind man turned to Xia Tingyu and asked, "Because of your mother?"

Xia Tingyu nodded.

The old blind man smiled gently: "Do you know what I am thinking now?"

Xia Tingyu blinked: "Do you want to scold me for being emotional? Or do you want to punish my master and scold him for not teaching me well?"

The old blind man frowned and gently patted Xia Tingyu's forehead: "Little girl, am I that kind of person? I was just thinking, our girl is so smart, what kind of person can be accepted by her in the future, and what should I do if I accept her, hey."

When Xia Tingyu heard this, he was about to say something but stopped, then he thought of the chopped green onions.

The old blind man was blind in his eyes but not in his heart. He smiled and then scolded, "Keep the noise down, you two! I wonder if you two didn't pay for all the things in this girl's yard!"

As he spoke, the old blind man stepped out of the yard.

Xia Tingyu looked at his master's back. Dian Junming naturally couldn't hear what the two of them were saying.

But his eyes turned to Wu Mao.

The current owner of the Beast Forest looked at her, shook his head, and sighed, just like he did that day when he asked, "Isn't this tiring?"

Xia Tingyu smiled and said, "I'm used to it."

Wu Mao was stunned for a moment and then smiled.

Xia Tingyu looked at Wu Qinhu and Dian Junming again. Uncle Dian certainly had a purpose, but at the moment

Xia Tingyu's mind was on Conghua, outside Shu, and on the man whose appearance made her a little jealous.

But suddenly he snorted, because he was thinking of that person again!

bother!

Then he walked towards where Uncle Dian was. He had a lot of things to do.
