Chapter 1925 playing chess

"good."

Zhang Xiaotian nodded and said.

"I saw you gave me a chess set as a gift. Do you know how to play chess?"

the old man asked.

"This..." Zhang Xiaotian was helpless for a while. This chess was not a gift from him. It was prepared by Shangguan Wan'er.

But at this time, it was naturally difficult for him to say that this thing was not a gift from him.

"I know a little."

Zhang Xiaotian said.

He also knew that Shangguan Xiangyun was going to play chess, so he couldn't help but take out the chess set and put it on the coffee table.

"It is a good thing for young people to be modest."

Shangguan Xiangyun smiled calmly and said, "But judging from the way you play chess, it should be more than just a simple one. People who know you well will think you are being humble, and people who don't know you will think you are pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger.

"

"Hahaha, young man, don't be offended. As people get older, they talk more. When they talk too much, they tend to say the wrong things. You don't even know when you've offended someone."

Shangguan Xiangyun smiled.

This Shangguan Xiangyun's impression on Zhang Xiaotian is indeed very talkative, at least that's how he feels now.

"Since you are the one making the move, then you should make the move first."

Shangguan Xiangyun smiled.

Zhang Xiaotian was not modest and directly let the pawn take a step forward.

"Why don't you scold or attack me? This way you can seize the opportunity."

Shangguan Xiangyun said in surprise.

"I don't like walking like this."

Zhang Xiaotian said calmly.

The reason is as simple as that, I just don’t like it.

"Young man, in fact, I have known for a long time that you are with my granddaughter. Wan'er is my only granddaughter, why don't I love her so much?

How could I not pay attention to everything about her?"

Speaking of this, Shangguan Wan'er continued: "As far as I know, you are a very flamboyant person, or arrogance is more appropriate to describe you."

After saying this, he looked at the chessboard, then pushed the pawn and moved forward one square.

"It seems that I have some misunderstandings about your views. The arrogance I see is just your superficial arrogance, or it is what you do to show others, because this may be a person's best disguise."

After Zhang Xiaotian heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned. He didn't expect Shangguan Xiangyun to see so much in the first move.

"Being down-to-earth and moving forward steadily are your strengths. No wonder Wan'er thinks so highly of you."

Shangguan Xiangyun said with a smile.

"Thank you for the compliment, old man. If you keep saying this, I will definitely be proud."

Shangguan Xiangyun shook his head and said, "By the way, what is your relationship with Wan'er?"

"friend."

Zhang Xiaotian said.

"Just a simple friend?"

Shangguan Xiangyun narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Zhang Xiaotian with burning eyes.

"if not?"

Zhang Xiaotian asked rhetorically.

"If you are just ordinary friends, why would he bring you back? You may not know that she has never brought a boy back before."

Shangguan Xiangyun said.

Zhang Xiaotian couldn't help but nodded. He had heard Wang Xiaoyan say just now that Shangguan Wan'er had indeed never brought any boys back before.

"What do you think about this?"

Shangguan Xiangyun asked.

"Old man, I'm afraid you are overcomplicating this matter. I came to the imperial capital this time for a special reason."

Zhang Xiaotian opened his mouth to explain.

"You don't need to explain. Maybe you have your own reasons for coming to the imperial capital, but Wan'er bringing you to our Shangguan home is unusual."

Shangguan Xiangyun said.

Zhang Xiaotian smiled calmly and said: "Old man, I know what you are saying. Shangguan Wan'er brought me here this time because she probably thought I was a good person and she just wanted to help me. After all, I saved her before."

Zhang Xiaotian also told Shangguan Wan'er about the mastermind behind the scenes. He also told Shangguan Wan'er what happened to him this time when he came to the imperial capital.

In his opinion, Shangguan Wan'er brought him back to the Shangguan family to send a message to the outside world, that is, Zhang Xiaotian is a friend of their Shangguan family, and those who want to kill him must weigh their weight.

Shangguan Xiangyun shook his head and said: "Young man, if you say this, it means you don't understand my Wan'er. If you knew her, you wouldn't say this. Our emperor has many outstanding men, but they all

I can't stand her discernment."

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaotian smiled and said: "It seems that I am quite lucky."

Shangguan Xiangyun shook his head and said nothing.

After a moment of silence, Zhang Xiaotian said: "Old man, judging from your tone, you still know something about my affairs?"

"Of course. After all, my granddaughter likes you so much, so I will naturally pay attention to you."

Shangguan Wan'er said.

Zhang Xiaotian was stunned and then asked: "Old man, do you also know what happened around me recently?"

Shangguan Xiangyun nodded, but still didn't say anything.

Zhang Xiaotian couldn't help but feel happy when he saw this, and asked hurriedly: "Old man, a series of bizarre things have happened around me recently. Someone in the imperial capital wants to kill me. Who do you think it could be?"

This question is what Zhang Xiaotian has always wanted to know.

"It seems that I still view some things too simply."

Shangguan Xiangyun shook his head, then looked at the chessboard and took a deep breath.

"Six moves at most, I'm going to lose."

Shangguan Xiangyun said in disbelief.

"The reason why you lose is because you want to win too much."

Zhang Xiaotian smiled lightly.

"I want to win too much?"

Shangguan Xiangyun looked at Zhang Xiaotian, his face full of confusion.

Zhang Xiaotian nodded and said: "Every move you make, you can see signs that you want to win."

Shangguan Xiangyun looked at Zhang Xiaotian and asked: "Chess is a kind of game. Everyone wants to win. Don't you want to win?"

"Old man, you are right. No matter who you are, everyone wants to win, but I am different from you. I will not tell others that I want to win."

Zhang Xiaotian smiled calmly and said, "Look at this chess game, it looks like any other chess game, but there is a murderous intention hidden in it."

Shangguan Xiangyun was shocked when he heard this, and for the first time he began to look squarely at the young man in front of him.

His attitude towards Zhang Xiaotian has changed somewhat now, and he feels that the person standing in front of him is not a young man, but a person with rich experience like him.

If you haven't experienced something, you definitely can't say these words.

He was very shocked. He didn't expect that a young man in his twenties could actually say such a thing.

Shangguan Wan'er and Wang Xiaoyan came back soon. It was obvious that Shangguan Wan'er was worried about leaving Zhang Xiaotian here alone.

At this time, Zhang Xiaotian took a step, which gave the originally dead game a glimmer of hope.

Shangguan Xiangyun was struggling to his death, but Zhang Xiaotian's move directly gave him a chance to win.

Shangguan Wan'er walked up, took a look at the chess game in front of her, and said with a smile: "Grandpa, you are going to win soon."

Shangguan Xiangyun glanced at his granddaughter, then at Zhang Xiaotian, smiling without saying a word.

"Xiaotian, you are also very good. You don't know that my grandfather is a chess master. He is very famous even in the imperial capital. It is already very good that you can reach this level with my grandfather."

Shangguan Wan'er said with a smile.

Zhang Xiaotian nodded and said: "Your grandpa is so good at chess that I am willing to be defeated."
