A young man was well-known in the Qi Dynasty. He was the cousin of the late Emperor Jing, and the young prince of the current dynasty, King Hui Xiao Ling.

The middle-aged man, named Mr. Li, but no one knows his real name. His name is Mr. Shanye, known as Li Shanye, and he relies on setting up chess stalls in Jinling, but all the people who visited him were prominent people. It seems that he knew many people in the court, and no one in the court did not know him. Whether it was the Empress Dowager Party, Xie Rumo Party, or some neutral officials, they had visited his chess club to play chess. As for whether he was related to politics, there were many different opinions in Jinling.

But it is generally circulated among the people that he is a master who is hidden in the city and no one can invite him to come out.

"Mr. Li, look at this. If I lose, I will give you ten concubines. I will choose for you yourself. There are more people in my house." Xiao Ling said with a smile.

"Not appropriate." Li Shanye said, "If I don't like beauty and singing and dancing, what's the purpose of coming to the concubine?"

"Then... a thousand taels of gold, Mr. Li should be satisfied, right?"

"Two meals and one night are enough, what is the difference between gold and dirt?" Li Shanye said with disdain.

Xiao Ling sighed and said, "Mr. Li said that money and beauties are all dirt, so what's the point of life? If you really want to fight with my father, you will never stop in the power field, and you will end up working hard all your life? Whatever Mr. Li wants, even if you mention it, as long as I have it, you will agree."

Li Shanye smiled and said, "I want to let Your Highness meet someone."

"See someone?" Xiao Ling smiled, "This is quite interesting. You don't want beautiful gold, but you asked me to meet someone. Who? If you are evil, then I won't see you."

Li Shanye said: "Young Master, don't worry, this person is in Jinling. He is neither far nor near, neither high nor low. Moreover, he is the guest of honor in my court, and the Young Master will definitely see him. I believe that if the Young Master sees him, he will also be a confidant, because the Young Master has something in common with him."

"Oh? There are people like this? They have something in common with me. That's quite interesting. I'm going to meet me soon. No, this game hasn't been played yet. Mr. Li, why don't you do this? If I win, tell me where the person is. What if I go to meet me together?"

Li Shanye couldn't help but smile when he saw Xiao Ling looking expectant. He nodded slightly, and Xiao Ling was very satisfied with the move.

In Xiao Ling's opinion, this game is not a sure win, but will definitely win.

He played chess with Li Shanye before, but he didn't take it seriously. The situation was decided before the middle game. He was not the first day of playing chess, so he knew what kind of chess could not be saved. When Li Shanye played with him before, he was completely focused. There was no concession between him, so naturally he didn't know that there would be exchanges for white and black pieces.

Xiao Ling was calm and composed a few steps before, as if I was about to win.

But after taking more than a dozen steps, Xiao Ling began to find that the chess surface was developing in a direction that was unfavorable to him. There were obviously many areas that had already taken advantage of the advantages and were constantly being revitalized by the white chess. He felt that Mr. Li was indeed extraordinary in playing chess.

The further he went, the more pressure Xiao Ling felt. When he entered the final game, he knew very well that his original advantage had been lost, and his good chess was also played into bad chess. However, the white chess, which was originally bound to lose, repeatedly played good chess and reversed the disadvantages.

Even Xiao Ling himself never thought that there were so many "tricks" in the first half of his play, and he had to admire him. It was not his own tricks, but Li Shanye's chess is really good.

"Mr. Li. No need to count, I lost." Xiao Ling said calmly at the end.

This time, Xiao Ling's attitude was a little annoyed. He didn't even expect that he began to study the black and white impermanence since he was a child, but in the end, he didn't even touch the master's tail hair.

"Your Highness is too humble. Actually, I'm just a coincidence." Li Shanye smiled.

"Win means winning, losing means losing, what's the point of saying this? I'm not like some people in the court who loses chess and doesn't admit it even though they lose. It seems that losing chess is like a father and mother dead. Alas! Some people are always unable to let go." Xiao Ling said with emotion.

Li Shanye smiled and said, "Your Highness is still open-minded. But..."

"Mr. Li, I will definitely agree to your conditions. Where do you think that person is? I will go to see him now... Besides, since Mr. Li is not short of gold, silver, jewelry and beauties, I will ask someone to send some special things, all of which are worthless things, good tea and wine, and they are considered to be the bargaining chips for losing. Mr. Li should not refuse, right?" Xiao Ling said.

Li Shanye smiled and nodded, saying, "Then I would like to thank Your Highness first."

"What's there to thank? I have always said that Mr. Li is a friend worth making. Is it a pity to have friends from afar? Haha, I'll ask someone to send them when I go back. Mr. Li should tell me where that person is?" Xiao Ling said with a smile.

"That person is listening to the platform. I believe Your Highness should know where he is, right?" Li Shanye said.

"Listening to the platform? I have been there. When I was young, my father took me over and even went to His Majesty... Oh, it was the late emperor who drank with him. At that time, I didn't know anything, so I fell asleep on the platform and fell seriously ill. I remember that there should be a statue of Guanyin there, and I always wanted to move it back because it was so vivid that I can still remember that look." Xiao Ling recalled, and suddenly asked in surprise, "Why is that person listening to the platform?"

"Your Highness, you'll know if you go and have a look?" Li Shanye said in a secret way.

"That's it, that's it, it's not the palace. Even if it's the palace, I can enter and exit freely. Since that person is listening to the platform, I must have some skills. Mr. Li, then your highness of Japan will say goodbye first and come to visit tomorrow."

"Greatly send you off to Young Master." Li Shanye stood up and gave him a look.

"Mr. Li, please be polite. When I come tomorrow, I will definitely bring the gifts. Mr. Li will wait..."

As he said that, Xiao Ling trotted away all the way, as if he couldn't wait to see the person Li Shanye mentioned.

Li Shanye looked at Xiao Ling's back and sighed slightly, "I didn't expect that the most capable person in the Jiangnan royal family would hide so deeply. This son can be created."

Li Shanye said as he suddenly heard a voice from a distance, but it was a bit of a woman's tenderness.

"Who is Mr. Yamano talking about?"

With the sound, a figure floated over, but it was a white figure.

Li Shanye was caught off guard at first. When he felt that the person coming was not kind-hearted, but wanted to use a long sword to penetrate his chest, he immediately turned around and retreated.

In the blink of an eye, the person who came was already in front of him.

Li Shanye turned around and avoided the stabbed sword and wanted to dodge again. The white figure no longer approached, but stood with the sword and watched him from afar.

Although he couldn't see clearly his appearance after the veil, Li Shanye couldn't help but be moved. Over the years, his heart has only been moved by one person, although he also knew that this person would never accept him.

Master Zuo Gu, Ke Qu'er's master, is also the head of the Chinese Sect of the Jiangnan Wulin.

"Master, it's been a long time since I was gone." Li Shanye saluted.

He tried his best to show his grace in front of Zuo Gu, but he also knew that his identity and position were different, Zuo Gu never gave him a good look. Although even Zuo Gu gave him a good look, he only had a cold look.

"You haven't answered the question yet." Zuo Guren looked at Li Shanye and said leisurely.

"The person I'm talking about is Xiao Hui of the Qi Dynasty. I believe his master must have heard of him?" Li Shanye said.

Master Zuo Gu thought for a while, nodded slightly, and said, "Are you talking about Xiao Ling?"

"It is him. This son has the spirit of an emperor. Like his grandfather, he will be a person who will do great things in the future, but his father is an ordinary person."

Master Zuo Gu thought for a moment, and it seemed that this was different from what was rumored by the outside world.

In the eyes of outsiders, Xiao Ling and the late emperor are peers, calling the current empress dowager the "coon-in-law" and having a very different relationship with the empress dowager. However, because Xiao Ling is not in conflict with the world, his father once cultivated a large number of connections, so Xie Rumo's party also wanted to win him over and was quite polite to him.

In the entire Jinling, Xiao Ling was the only one who could live a free life in many power struggles, because no one wanted to offend him or dared to provoke him, because his father was indeed capable, and his father Xiao Rang was the emperor for three days. During these three days, Xiao Ling was the crown prince of the dynasty. Although Xiao Rang later passed the throne to the late emperor, it is recognized that he was the most capable assistant of the late emperor and very capable.

Xiao Ling's grandfather did not become emperor, and he was a little mediocre like Xiao Ling. But when he reached Li Shanye's mouth, it was Xiao Ling and his grandfather who were able to accomplish great things, while his most capable father was mediocre.

"Are you curious about what you are saying?" Seeing that Zuogu seemed to be thinking about the problem, Li Shanye suddenly smiled.

"Yes." Zuo Gu's master has always been straightforward in doing things. She would not hide what she had in her mind, especially when Li Shanye wanted to say it.

"Being able to obtain the throne but not be able to obtain it is the failure of King Hui in his life. Now, King Hui will surely accomplish great things, and I will help him and achieve great things." Li Shanye said with a proud look on his face. It seems that he is the only one in the world who can do this.

"It's very difficult." Zuo Gu's master spoke very directly and retorted.

Li Shanye smiled and said, "Master must think that such a Xiaohui King will not fight for all power. But the one in Jiangbei is not going to take charge of the world and command the heroes? Xiaohui King wants to rule the world, but he just needs someone to wake him up, and that person is in Jinling and is about to meet him. Is the Master also looking forward to the situation in the world, which will be fought between two young people in the future?"

Master Zuo Gu shook his head slightly. It was not that she did not agree with Li Shanye's words, but that she didn't understand it at all.

Li Shanye always speaks wildly, because there have always been grudges between the two gates, so she cannot kill this person, but with her martial arts, she only has no choice but to win or lose.

"Who is that person?" Zuo Gu asked.

"A man from Jiangdu, with a surname of Sima..." (To be continued)
