The two old men wanted to hold a conversation while talking, but they didn't expect that before they sat down, they saw this shocking endgame.
The two couldn't help but pay attention, waved their hands for the waiter to go out, and sat down on both sides.
Among them, the tall and thin old man was none other than Mr. Qu Sanye who had just passed away not long ago, and the other was Zhou Xunxue's grandfather Zhou Binlin. The two of them had purchased jade from the Jiang family at the auction.
The two had known each other for a long time, and when they met at the auction house, they couldn't help but exchange a few words. After the conversation, they immediately felt that they had met each other too late, and Mr. Qu was also delayed in Yong'an.
Not only do they have similar interests in collecting cultural toys, but they also disagree with each other in terms of their chess skills. At this time, they are very eager to show off their skills in this endgame.
Mr. Qu Sanye said with a smile: "In my opinion, Black made the first move. At this time, there is an atmosphere of unifying the Central Plains."
Zhou Binlin didn't think so: "That's not necessarily the case. Although White is trapped in one corner, he has other back-ups, and it's definitely not just what you see."
As they spoke, they each picked up the chess pieces. Mr. Qu Sanye looked deeper and deeper, and gradually forgot about everything. It took him a while to wake up, and said with some shame: "Brother Bi Lin, please go first."
Zhou Binlin has also been observing for a long time. At this time, he is no better than Mr. Qu. He is also a little ashamed: "This... I am also undecided and elusive. This white piece seems to have many changes. I can only see one or two.
Don’t dare to act presumptuously.”
Mr. Qu laughed heartily: "It's a great spectacle to be able to stump brother next door."
Mr. Qu San said this, but he did not dare to drop the black piece in his hand.
Zhou Bilin couldn't see Third Master Qu's doubts, and said with a smile: "Third Brother is laughing, let me see what Third Brother's technique is."
Mr. Qu Sanye hesitated for a long time, and finally threw the chess piece back: "Such an exquisite chess game, sitting in hiding is just like this. I don't know which fellow player made it."
The two of them were attracted by the chess game and put aside their business matters. They called the waiter over and asked who was the last person in this tea room.
The waiter scratched his head: "They are two young men and a girl. I heard that one of them became their master."
Zhou Binlin frowned and continued to ask, but couldn't find a name.
Zhou Binlin waved his hand to the waiter to go out. Neither of them looked into it further, but they were obviously curious about the three young men.
This endgame was probably staged and detailed by them. It cannot be that just a few young people have such profound chess skills.
However, Zhou Binlin and Qu Sanye have studied all famous endgames, but they have never heard of this endgame.
The level of difficulty put two self-proclaimed masters of hand-to-hand talk to shame.
Zhou Binlin and Qu Sanye reluctantly took a look at the chessboard, thinking that it might be a difficult game passed down through the ages, so they wrote it down and went back to understand it slowly.
The two pushed the chessboard aside, both of them no longer interested in the game.
Speaking of business, Zhou Bilin said straight to the point: "Each of the five jade statues of the Jiang family is ingenious. I have been thinking hard about the craftsmanship for a long time, but I still can't figure out the clues."
Third Master Qu also nodded: "Such craftsmanship doesn't look artificial at all. This kind of technology is unheard of. Could it be..." Third Master Qu lowered his voice, "What secrets does the Jiang family have that they don't tell?"
Zhou Binlin nodded: "I have long heard that the Jiang family has an ice jade lamp. It is from Yong'an. The Jiang family can make a fortune in Yong'an because of this treasure. It's a pity that the younger generations are shameless and have allowed the Jiang family to remain silent for many years. Now it suddenly breaks out. Is it the same as this?"
Something to do with this treasure?”
The two were puzzled and talked about literature with each other.
Some old news in the gaming industry can’t help but get further and further away...
Qin Luo casually arranged a chess game for Zhou Xunxue and Wei Shuming to learn the details. If the two could figure it out, it meant they had some talent. Qin Luo even had the intention to officially accept the two of them as his disciples. Maybe he should leave some favors in this world.
Qin Luo left the tea room, but he didn't realize that Wei Shuming was possessed by a demon again and was sent to the hospital by Zhou Xunxue. He didn't know how much the chess game he left behind shocked the two big names in the literary and entertainment industry.
Before he returned to the company, he called Lao Liu.
Qin Luo asked Lao Liu to find out who was behind the installation of the listening device on Jiang Bingxue. Lao Liu had not received any news yet.
Qin Luo knew that this matter would not be easy even if Lao Liu came to handle it, so he wanted to ask, maybe he could find some flaws.
Lao Liu answered Qin Luo's call and said hurriedly and respectfully: "Brother Qin."
Qin Luo asked about the situation, and Lao Liu scratched his head: "This... there is no result yet, but there is something... I was about to inform you."
Qin Luo frowned, and Lao Liu continued: "Last time you crippled those two inner strength masters, their fellow disciples are coming to Yong'an, and now you have announced that if you dare to leave..."
Qin Luo laughed: "If I dare to leave, they will attack you."
Lao Liuqian laughed twice, acquiescing to Qin Luo's statement.
Qin Luo nodded: "Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you. However, you have to let me know that I will be rewarded for protecting you."
Lao Liu became nervous: "I...I will definitely find out the person." Lao Liu was eager to make a contribution, and immediately hung up the phone after making a guarantee.
Qin Luo sighed, it seemed that to recruit this young man, he had to wipe his ass.
The last time Qin Luo took action for Lao Liu, he did not reveal his identity. This was fine. Just like at the banquet, it would be much more convenient to use another identity to do things.
Qin Luo made up his mind and waited quietly for news from Lao Liu.
After returning to the company and not staying for a while, Lao Liu called: "Brother Qin, someone... someone is here."
Qin Luo narrowed his eyes and left the company without having time to say hello to Jiang Bingxue.
Lao Liu has a garden in Yong'an Ancient Architecture Scenic Area. It was an old garden for hundreds of years. After repairs, part of it was opened to the public, but the other part was reserved by Lao Liu.
So hidden in the depths of the flowers, birds, fish, insects, pavilions and waterside pavilions, there is a more high-end and stylish club. This is Lao Liu's business.
He has connections, people at his disposal, and can control the situation.
Many clubs and venues that are unknown to the outside world are his industries. These industries are not traditional industries, and the threshold is extremely high. Lao Liu only has the conditions to operate such an industry because of his family's many years of operation.
He seems to be just a supervisor of the club and venue, but when it comes to disputes and conflicts, Lao Liu can speak out and be convincing.
Sometimes the big bosses of various companies negotiate some profitable business, and Lao Liu will also give him a ride, basically making sure he doesn't lose anything.
The Lao Liu family is an intelligence broker with many years of experience. In the hands of Lao Liu, it has transformed into what it is today. It is still as well-informed and knowledgeable as ever, and it is more profitable than the older generation.
However, the world has changed drastically nowadays, and many masters like the bald man and the bearded man have appeared last time, supporting others and trying to drive Lao Liu out and eat this cake.
Lao Liu originally wanted to be friendly and make money, but these people looked extremely ugly and drove Lao Liu out because they were afraid that they would not be able to sustain the situation in Lao Liu's hands.
Even if these people want to kill the goose to get the eggs, Lao Liu can't
Let others slaughter you.
If Qin Luo hadn't turned things around last time, I'm afraid Lao Liu would have had to compromise. But this was just the beginning. Obviously, the battle for territory had just begun.
Qin Luo came to the garden under Lao Liubao, entered through the back door, passed through the two-month cave gate, passed several rockeries, and saw the open nave, with a plaque of Sanwentang hanging under the eaves.
The seats, calligraphy and paintings in the hall are all antiques specially selected by Lao Liu, and they are all priceless.
Walking into such a garden is no different than traveling back in time to ancient times. Only Lao Liu and a few of his men, dressed in modern attire, were sitting in the hall, looking a little out of place.
Lao Liu took the initiative to welcome him out: "Brother Qin, you are here."
The enemy could not believe that he was coming soon, and Qin Luo was not around, so Lao Liu was a little restless. Seeing that Qin Luo finally felt something before the enemy came, Lao Liu felt that the big stone in his heart had finally fallen to the ground.
Several people around Lao Liu looked at him with disdain in their eyes when they saw him being so polite to an unattractive young man.
A man wearing a Tang suit and cloth shoes looked Qin Luo up and down and said with a smile: "Master Liu, is this the master you are talking about?"
The people around Lao Liu are all new recruits who were replenished after Lao Liu's last army was wiped out. They are all family friends. These people concentrate on martial arts training. Lao Liu's family provides them with a platform to perform.
They have no worries about food and clothing, and this interdependent relationship has lasted for hundreds of years.
Although Lao Liu himself doesn't know how to do housework, he is quite prestigious among these people because of his family relationship.
Seeing that the man in Tang suit was unconvinced, Lao Liu said with a smile: "Brother Qiao, don't be fooled by the scene in front of you. This brother Qin is very hidden, but he is the best master I have ever seen. With him here today,
It’s absolutely foolproof.”
The man in Tang suit was accompanied by two young men, who were about the same age as Qin Luo. They had trained with the man in Tang suit for many years, and this time they came out to help Lao Liu and worked hard to make a career.
They thought they were superior in strength, but they were even more unconvinced when they saw that a pretty boy like Qin Luo was more arrogant than his master in front of Lao Liu.
"We have just come out of the mountain and have not seen much of the world. This expert is actually a friend of Mr. Liu. I wonder if he can teach us how to do it."
The apprentice of the man in Tang suit was provocative when he came up. He said it politely, but it was obvious that he wanted to test Qin Luo's methods.
What else did Lao Liu want to say? Qin Luo's ability does not need to be verified. In fact, the man in Tang suit and his apprentice are just foils. It is Qin Luo who really depends on him.
However, these three people have no discernment and do not understand their own positions. Seeing that someone is valued more than themselves, they have to fight for it.
Just as Lao Liu was about to stop him, Qin Luo said with a smile: "These are Lao Liu's friends. Let's just stop."
The man in Tang suit nodded towards the two apprentices beside him. Lao Liu didn't understand what Qin Luo meant and looked at the two of them with some worry.
Two apprentices of the man in Tang suit came up, and one of them said, "I'll show off my shame first."
As he said this, without waiting for Qin Luo to say anything, he suddenly moved his steps, walked straight into the middle of Qin Luo's path, with his feet like Bagua steps and his palms like knives.
Seeing that the opponent's moves were fierce and he was about to give Qin Luo a blow, Lao Liu secretly shouted, "Oh no, if Qin Luo really takes action, how can the two apprentices of the man in Tang suit be his opponents?"
If you don't say that you are either dead or injured, it won't be much better.
Unexpectedly, Qin Luo seemed to have no time to dodge as his palms swept across. Seeing that the opponent's palms hit Qin Luo's lower abdomen, Qin Luo staggered back a few steps before standing firm.
Qin Luogong cupped his hands: "Good skills, good skills."
