Chapter 401: The chessboard also has life and death
Gu Xiaowei and Gu Canyue followed the lead servant into the courtyard where Luo Xihe was.
The courtyard is deep, with pavilions, small bridges and flowing water. Although Luo Xihe is a first-class chess player, compared to ordinary chess players who are dull and ignorant of worldly affairs, Luo Xihe is obviously more humane.
, just looking at this garden decoration is a bit more interesting than others.
The servants were in front, while Gu Xiaowei and Gu Canyue were whispering in the back. They were not talking about how to rescue Li Longqian from Luo Xihe later, but were studying the scenery and furnishings in the courtyard. Gu Canyue was wearing a white long trousers today.
The length of the skirt is just right. If it is too long, it will inevitably look bloated and obscure the graceful figure, which will ruin the beautiful scenery. If it is too short, it will inevitably lose a bit of mystery and add a bit of debauchery, which is also inappropriate.
.
And Gu Xiaowei's dress today is also very coquettish. She is wearing a black dress that is even more mysterious and sexy, like a black rose. Walking together with Gu Canyue, the two of them don't look like aunts and nieces, but more like a pair of sisters of the same age.
The two held hands and chatted non-stop along the way. Even the servant leading the way was a little curious. It was the Gu family who killed people without batting an eye, especially the woman who simply ate people without spitting out their bones. But if we look at it today,
The two people behind are obviously different from the rumors in the world. Is it possible that these two young ladies are not family-minded?
The Galaxy Chess Sect was a big place. Gu Xiaowei and Gu Canyue had known this for a long time, so they were not surprised and walked quietly. After all, no matter how big the Galaxy Chess Sect was, it could not be bigger than the Gu family's mansion.
The Gu family's mansion can be compared to today's imperial palace.
The entire world knows this.
The three of them walked for almost half an hour and finally reached the room where Luo Xihe was. There were still the same four people in the room as yesterday, Luo Xihe, Luo Jianyuan, Su Zhengye, and Luo Jiaomei.
"I'm sorry, I'm late."
After Gu Xiaowei entered the room, she bowed lightly. She didn't mean to complain. Instead, she first said what was wrong with her.
Luo Xihe nodded and smiled, and motioned for Gu Xiaowei and Gu Canyue to sit down.
"Grandpa Luo, your yard is really big!"
After getting along for one day, Gu Canyue seemed to have forgotten her irritability yesterday and did not continue to be angry with Luo Xihe, so she started talking more.
"No matter how big you are, I can't beat your Gu family."
Luo Xihe laughed loudly, looked up at the slave, and signaled that the slave could serve the food.
"You are a chess player, and our Gu family is a murderer. Can it be the same?"
Gu Canyue blinked her big watery eyes, looked at Luo Xihe and asked.
"Haha, isn't there fighting on the chessboard?"
"The fight on Grandpa Luo's chessboard, did anyone die?"
At this moment, Gu Xiaowei looked at Luo Xihe and asked, her tone very calm.
Luo Xihe gently raised his head, looked at Gu Xiaowei, was silent for a moment, and whispered: "I'm going to die, or I'm going to die."
"How do you say this?" Gu Xiaowei asked with a faint smile.
"There are many people in the world who live for chess, and there are also many who die for chess. Life and death are actually between the chess player's thoughts. If the chess player wants to live, then it is life. If the chess player wants to die, then it is life.
It's death." Luo Xihe calmly replied.
Gu Xiaowei slowly sat down, looked at Luo Xihe with a playful look, and said softly: "It turns out there are so many ways on this chessboard."
"That's natural."
After a conversation, the servants walked into the room one after another carrying exquisite plates and bowls.
Breakfast begins.
It is a rule to eat and sleep without talking. Both of the Gu family are ladies, so they understand this etiquette, so no one spoke at the table and they ate quietly.
The vegetable rice was not considered rich, it was just the standard for ordinary wealthy people. Gu Canyue may have disliked it, so she didn't eat more. As for Gu Xiaowei, she also ordered it.
But the two of them didn't know that Luo Xihe had prepared this breakfast with great care. Normally it might be a bit simpler than this. Seeing Gu Xiaowei and Gu Canyue put down their chopsticks, Luo Xihe smiled helplessly and continued.
Drinking gruel from a bowl.
…
In the cell, the guard put down a few steamed buns with a gloomy face and a bucket of water with almost no rice grains.
"Brother, when can we go out?"
When Chen Banliang saw the guard, he quickly stood up and shouted.
"Go out?" The guard was stunned for a moment, sneered, and said with curled lips: "If you want to go out, I guess it will take some time."
"No, isn't there someone above us?" Chen Banliang shouted at the top of his lungs, but the guard ignored him and turned around and ran outside.
"Hey!"
When Chen Banliang saw the guard leaving, he continued to shout, but no one paid any attention.
Li Longqian picked up two steamed buns and handed them to Ling Shiqing. After Ling Shiqing saw the steamed buns, she looked up at Li Longqian and asked helplessly: "Don't you want to eat?"
"I'm not hungry yet." Li Long replied with a slight smile, stretched out his hand to push Chen Banliang, who was still roaring, frowned and said: "Stop shouting, you are exhausted and no one will pay attention to you!"
Chen Banliang turned around and glanced helplessly at Li Longqian, gritted his teeth and shouted: "Tell me what's on your mind, will the Gu family come to save us?"
"Come on, why don't you come? You should be on the way now."
Li Long smiled slightly and agreed.
"That's what you told me yesterday. Why has no one come to rescue me today? What if Gu's family doesn't come? Do I have to die in this prison? I'm still so young. If I die here, I
I'm not willing to give in." Chen Banliang's expression was extremely sad, as if he was really going to die here.
"Master, do you want to eat the steamed buns?" At this moment, Chen Shisan reached out and picked up a steamed bun and looked at Chen Banliang and asked.
"I eat, why shouldn't I?"
Chen Banliang shouted loudly, and then ran to Chen Shisan's side.
Chen Shisan reluctantly put down the steamed bun in his hand, knowing that his young master would not be full after eating just one.
Li Longqian smiled helplessly, took out the old man's book "Tian Yuan Magic", and started studying the last few simple chess records.
"What are you studying?" Chen Shisan looked at Li Longqian and asked.
"nothing."
Li Longqian whispered back, picked up the branch, and began to restore the last few chess pieces on the ground.
Li Longqian knew that there must be something fishy in this chess score. Otherwise, the old man would not have written down such an ordinary chess score. However, Li Longqian thought about it all night last night and still did not discover the mystery.
"Boy, shall we two play chess?"
At this moment, the old man turned and shouted to Li Longqian.
"OK."
Li Longqian agreed, made a few random strokes on the chess game on the ground, then stood opposite the old man and played chess with him.
