Chapter 296: Game against Meroli
The old man in black and white frowned upon hearing this, and looked in the direction of the voice, only to see a row of five people standing in the hall. !. The four people surrounded a young man in his twenties in the middle. This man was the most senior person among the five, and the contemptuous words just now came from his mouth.
"Where did this outsider come from? Doesn't he know who the two people playing chess are?" Someone in the hall was dissatisfied with what he said and scolded him.
These words resonated with everyone in the room, and everyone immediately expressed disgust towards the five people who said these words.
However, all those who can come to this Zhenlong Chess House are people of status. For example, the old man in black and the old man in white at the front are Mo Zihao from the Mo family and Mu Tianya from the Yunge Courtyard. And those sitting on the second floor are also big figures with high status and status in major sects. In comparison, although the bottom floor is much bleaker, most of them are from aristocratic families and wealthy families, all of whom are the masters of a lot of money.
Although these five people were all strangers, one of them was even dressed very ordinary and acted like a servant. But the one who could enter the Zhenlong Chess House must be one of them, otherwise he would not even be able to step through the threshold, as the guards at the door were not vegetarians.
Although I hate this group of people, I am guessing the identities of these five people in my heart.
Mo Zihao frowned and looked at Mu Tianya, "Do you know this person?"
Mu Tianya shook his head and said with a smile: "I thought he was yours."
"Humph," Mo Zihao snorted in dissatisfaction, "Do you think I'm idle?"
Mu Tianya chuckled and kept silent, but he still wondered in his heart whether these five people were sent by Mo Zihao to cause trouble.
Similarly, Mo Zihao also suspected that this group of people were brought by Mu Tianya with the purpose of disturbing Yue Shuangxuan's mood.
This game looked like a competition between two chess generals, but the meaning behind it was quite different. This was not only a transaction between three mining areas, but also an opportunity to strike at the opponent's general! A general represented the comprehensive combat strength of a force, especially a top general. A top general had his own dignity. If he was defeated by an equally matched opponent, he would be greatly affected, and it would even affect future battles.
So, now that such a group of people has emerged, they are suspicious of each other.
"Since they are neither yours nor mine, let them go out." Mo Zihao looked at Mu Tianya.
"Well, in order to avoid affecting Hua Yunfeng of my Yunge Courtyard, it's better to hurry up and have some peace and quiet."
Zihao nodded, called over and said, "Please ask them to leave."
Suddenly, a group of guards from the Zhenlong Chess House surrounded them.
The three people around the man saw a group of people coming towards his village and quickly protected them behind them.
The man frowned slightly, "What? Are you going to use force?"
The leader of the guards looked at him indifferently and said, "I'm sorry, this is the Zhenlong Chess House. People who don't know how to play chess are not welcome to enter. If you know what's good for you, leave on your own, lest our brothers attack you too hard and hurt you. If you don't know what's good for you..." He didn't finish his words, but the threat was very strong.
The three guards protected the man more closely.
"It depends on the situation. You chose the latter one." The guard leader waved his hand and said, "Capture him!"
With a crash, the five guards behind him rushed forward.
However, two giant rock hands blocked their way forward, and the guards drew their weapons and waved them away. The people around were excited to see what was happening in the field. Seeing the guards draw their swords, they were not afraid, but became more excited. Some of the more open-minded people even cheered.
The man watched coldly, scanning all the people in the Zhenlong Chess House, with a blank expression on his face. Finally, he lowered his eyes, no longer looking at them, and said lightly, "Taihao, Mingzi, beat them to a pulp."
Taihao and Mingzi heard this and nodded, "Yes, Master."
That’s right, the five people in this group were Shi Yan and three guards, plus Fu Suoqiang who led them.
Zhenlong Chess House was the place that Fu Suoqiang mentioned to match Shi Yan's identity, so he brought Shi Yan and his party here, but he did not expect what would happen later.
Was this an accident? No, Shi Yan did it on purpose, and his target was the old man in black clothes on the third floor. Fu Suoqiang said that he was the third person in the Mohist School, in charge of more than ten chess generals. He was a man of talent, and many talented people in the Mohist School were discovered by him. If you want to get into the Mohist School, this is a good opportunity. But first, you have to attract his attention. So, Shi Yan successfully attracted his attention, not only him, but also the attention of everyone in the audience.
Hearing his words, everyone burst into laughter.
"Haha, did you hear that? This guy actually wants to cripple the guards of Zhenlong Chess House. Haha, he really overestimates his own abilities."
"There's nothing we can do. Some people just save up some spirit stones and act like wealthy people. At best, they are just nouveau riche and don't know the rules."
Fu Suoqiang originally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to come to the Zhenlong Chess House so that he could brag about it when he returned, but he didn't expect that the owner would speak so arrogantly that he would also be implicated. He originally wanted to escape, but he was frightened by the guards of the Zhenlong Chess House and couldn't move his legs. His legs trembled and he fell to the ground.
Fu Suoqiang's fall immediately made everyone in the audience burst into laughter. They also regarded Fu Suoqiang as Shi Yan's bodyguard. Seeing that a bodyguard was so cowardly, they immediately looked down on Shi Yan.
Mo Zihao shook his head and said with a smile: "Standing out to attract attention."
"Oh? Could it be that he really has no real talent?" Mu Tianya asked with a smile: "Everyone says that you, Mo Zihao, are a good horse breeder. Don't you want to confirm it? Otherwise, losing a good seedling will be a greater loss than not going to the three mines."
Mo Zihao just stared at the chessboard and ignored it.
However, when screams were heard from downstairs, the laughter in the audience stopped abruptly and turned into the sound of people gasping for air.
Mo Zihao looked curiously, and saw that the guards of Zhenlong Chess House fell to the ground one by one, rolling over and screaming, holding their feet, while the man in the middle was not hurt at all, which surprised him.
Not only him, but everyone in the audience was extremely surprised and speechless.
"Old man, you asked them to kick me out, saying that I don't know how to play chess. Do you know how to play chess?" Shi Yanxie said with a smile, staring at Mo Zihao on the third floor.
This was the first time someone questioned Mo Zihao in this way, and everyone in the audience was extremely surprised.
"Nonsense, if Master Mo doesn't understand, do you understand?" The guard leader's face turned pale and blue, staring at Shi Yan, "No matter who you are, if you dare to make trouble in the chess house, don't even think about walking out safely. Come on, stop him!" He shouted loudly, and immediately more than ten guards rushed out from all directions and surrounded the group of five people in the middle.
Shi Yan was not afraid at all and just looked at Mo Zihao.
Mo Zihao just thought it was ridiculous. After all these years, Shi Yan was the first person to ask him if he knew chess. He chuckled, stood up, and looked down at Shi Yan, "Of course I know. There is no doubt about that. The whole Mingjing Domain knows it. But you, I don't think you know it."
Shi Yan smiled in his heart. He was most afraid that you would ignore me, but now you are talking. That will be easy.
He chuckled, "What if I said I understand?"
"How to prove it?" Mo Zihao asked.
"They can all prove it!" Shi Yan pointed at the people around him.
"Hmph, they are your guards, how can they be counted!" The guard leader sneered.
Shi Yan suddenly shouted, "How dare you! Who are you? You have no right to interrupt me when I'm talking to Mr. Mo!"
Mo Zihao also frowned slightly. Given his status, no one dared to interrupt him when he was talking. He felt that this guard leader did not know the rules.
The leader of the guards was shocked and secretly glanced at Mo Zihao. Finding that he was a little unhappy, he quickly shut up, but his eyes were staring at Shi Yan hatefully.
"How to prove it!" Mo Zihao's voice became louder and louder, like a huge bell exploding in Shi Yan's ears.
Shi Yan's chest felt a little tight, and he couldn't help but praise in his heart: "The Mo family is worthy of being the first family in the controller of Mingjing Domain. Even Mo Zihao, who has never heard of this name, is a golden elixir!"
Shi Yan could bear it, but Zhu Xiedaotuo, Mingzi and Taihao were not feeling well, with a little blood oozing from the corners of their mouths. However, their bodies remained strong, and they meticulously protected Shi Yan behind them.
"Why don't I try him?" Suddenly, a voice came.
Following the sound, a man with pink lips and red lips slowly walked over and bowed deeply to Mo Zihao, "Master."
Mo Zihao nodded and asked, "Luo Li, how was the game?"
The man named Luo Li shook his head and sighed, "The opponent was too weak, and the game ended before we could enjoy it to our heart's content. Now, I heard there is a master here, so I came to compete with him."
Although he said that he wanted to have a discussion, the deep contempt in his eyes was obvious.
Fu Suoqiang secretly pulled Shi Yan's sleeve and whispered, "This is Mo Luoli, the second chess general under the Mo family. It is rumored that his chess skills are comparable to Yue Shuangxuan. Since his debut, he has only been defeated by Yue Shuangxuan and Hua Yunfeng. No one else can match him. You must not agree."
"Okay, let's do it." To everyone's surprise, Shi Yan said this without even thinking about it or asking anyone.
Mo Zihao's eyes flashed with surprise, and then he nodded, "Alright, let's just entertain the public."
The whole room burst into laughter. "Yeah, the world's best game is in a stalemate right now, so it's good to watch something else to kill time."
"Brother Mo, please don't be too harsh. I like this young man very much!"
"I love watching Brother Luo Li abuse others the most. Brother Luo Li, please don't let me down!"
Shi Yan ignored the chatter around him, just looked at Mo Luoli quietly and said, "Come."
Mo Luoli pursed his red lips and sneered: "I hope you don't surrender too early!"
After saying that, he walked to an empty chess table on the side.
The two of them sat on the ground, and a barrier that eliminated sound rose around them. The game began!
Another picture appeared next to everyone's forehead, which was the picture of Mo Luoli and Shi Yan playing chess.
It is also a chess game of thirty-six pieces. When the mist dissipates, there is a dense forest here.
"Wow!" The whole hall suddenly burst into laughter. "The woods, this is the terrain that Mo Luoli is best at. Even Yue Shuangxuan and Hua Yunfeng have suffered in this terrain."
"Hey, it looks like this guy is going to be badly tortured!"
