Sword knocks the door of heaven

Chapter 491 Three games of chess, three questions
In the early morning of the next day, Li Yunsheng first went to the Temple of Fire to explain to the old man Ouyetan about his trip. At this time, the smelting was at a critical juncture. The old man didn't say anything, but just told him to go and come back quickly. After all, this step was completed. There are still many places where Li Yunsheng needs to be used.

After bidding farewell to the old man, he went up and told Qingluo to let her and Beidou go to the shop in the city as usual today, and try not to make the people of Xianmeng suspicious as usual.

And after Qingluo knew that her family was being watched by the Xianmeng, her mood gradually calmed down from the initial panic.

Her personality looks delicate and weak on the surface, but she is very smart and tough on the inside. Although Li Yunsheng didn't tell her many things clearly, she has already guessed all kinds of things in her heart, even Li Yunsheng's identity.

As for Tang Beidou, Li Yunsheng was even more at ease with him than Qingluo.

"Having said that, I'll just go out for half a day, so there's no need to explain so much."

In the end, he himself found it a little funny.

After everything was properly explained, Li Yunsheng didn't hesitate anymore, and rushed towards the direction of the previous night city with walking clouds.

……

The desert outside Hongli City.

Although only a few days later, the ruins of the One Night City were completely submerged in the yellow sand, but in the center of the ruins, a gazebo stood above it very strikingly.

Don't even think about it, this must be the handwriting of the City Lord of One Night City.

However, when Li Yunsheng came near the gazebo, he unexpectedly found that besides the Lord of One Night City, there was actually another person sitting in the gazebo.

What made him even more surprised was that he still knew this person. It was Zhou Liang, the head housekeeper of the Zhou family who had played a game with him at the "Fish Appreciation Party" in Qiushui.

"Mr. Yunsheng, we finally meet again."

Before Li Yunsheng entered the gazebo, Zhou Liang greeted him sincerely.

"Senior Zhou Liang has beaten this junior."

Li Yunsheng's words were modest but his expression remained calm, and he nodded at Zhou Liang as he spoke.

"I didn't expect Mr. Yun Sheng to remember me."

Hearing Li Yunsheng call out his name, Zhou Liang looked extremely excited.

"Senior Chess is very good, of course I remember."

Although he felt awkward being called out one by one, Li Yunsheng still responded politely.

"This, this, my broken chess move, how can I catch the eyes of the master."

Li Yunsheng's very polite words were very helpful to Zhou Liang's ears. He has been thinking hard about the big killing game all these years, and the more he delved into it, the more frightened he became. Naturally, his admiration for Li Yunsheng became stronger and stronger. .

Therefore, this old man with gray hair who celebrated the New Year's day completely turned into a disciple who humbly asked for advice in front of Li Yunsheng.

"Old Zhou, when did you wake up like a mother-in-law? It's so hot outside, you two should hurry up and come in."

The City Lord of One Night City, who was sitting peacefully in the gazebo, frowned and complained.

"All blame me, all blame me, Mr. Yun Sheng, please come in, please come in."

Zhou Liang dragged Li Yunsheng into the gazebo with a face full of remorse.

Although the octagonal gazebo looks unattractive from the outside, once one enters and sits down, the heat dissipates immediately, making one feel as if one is in an ice cellar, very cool.

"I didn't expect the city lord to know senior Zhou Liang."

Li Yunsheng was a little curious, in his opinion, the two people in front of him had nothing to do with each other in terms of cultivation and background.

"Lord Duanmu likes to play chess. In the early years, every time he came to Qinglian Mansion, he would ask me to play a few games. After the Zhou family had an accident, he took me in."

Zhou Liang pointed to a chessboard on the table in the center of the gazebo.

Li Yunsheng glanced at the chessboard, and found that the chess game between him and Zhou Liang in the "Fish Appreciation Club" was on it.

"I didn't expect that this game of chess has passed more than ten years in the blink of an eye."

Looking at the chess record, the scene of the fish appreciation party that day is still vivid in my mind, but in reality, things are different, so I can't help but sigh with emotion.

After finishing speaking, he collected his thoughts, raised his head and handed the list that he made earlier to the City Lord of One Night City.

"A list of rewards, and my reward for helping you kill someone."

Seeing that the hunchbacked old man was a little confused, Li Yunsheng explained.

"Are you planning to evacuate my overnight city?"

The city lord of One Night City glanced at the long entries on the list, and said with an ugly expression on his face.

"My lord, don't underestimate yourself, even if you get ten more, I'm afraid it won't empty your overnight city, right?"

Li Yunsheng laughed.

"No, the family in One Night City is not as rich as you imagined."

Although the city lord of One Night City was displeased on the surface, he still threw the list into his sleeve.

"But the things you want are all food and clothing. Are you going to find a place to take refuge?"

He looked at Li Yunsheng and asked with a smile.

"Is there a place of refuge for me, the remnant of the autumn water, in these ten states?"

Li Yunsheng laughed at himself.

"I prepared this for someone. That family is indebted to me. I don't want them to sink into this catastrophe."

He added.

"Is it the little girl's family you brought into the city before?"

The City Master of One Night City picked up a copper cup and took a sip of the iced fruit wine inside.

"Ah."

Li Yunsheng nodded.

"Speaking of which, I still have some friendship with the ancestors of Ou Ye's family, but I didn't expect that the blood of Zhu Rong's family has withered to this point."

The City Lord of One Night City sighed with emotion, and then shouted towards the empty place beside him:
"Butler Wu."

Immediately afterwards, Wu Changxiao's figure appeared in front of Li Yunsheng out of thin air.

The so-called one-night city means that one person carries a city, so Li Yunsheng is not surprised by this.

"Give it to him."

The City Lord of One Night City glanced at Wu Changxiao beside him, then turned to look at Li Yunsheng and said.

"Yes, Master."

The housekeeper Wu Chang smiled and held up a ring and handed it to Li Yunsheng, saying:

"Master Yun Sheng, everything you want is inside."

Obviously, Butler Wu is holding a storage ring in his hand.

"Thank you."

Li Yunsheng picked up the ring and nodded his thanks.

"Goodbye."

Butler Wu also nodded at Li Yunsheng, and then his figure disappeared in place like smoke.

"Okay, you have taken the things too, let's play chess."

Seeing that Li Yunsheng put down the storage ring, the City Lord of That Night City rubbed his hands excitedly.

"Forget it, I have something else to do."

Li Yunsheng frowned, he didn't really want to waste time here.

"Mr. Yunsheng, just play a few games of chess, so it won't waste much time."

Zhou Liang also persuaded from the side.

"How about this."

Seeing that Li Yunsheng was still hesitating that night, the city lord promised:

"You and I played three games of chess. If you didn't win one game, I'll answer your question. If you win all three games, I can learn a few tricks with you."

"But I have nothing to ask you, and I have no reason to ask you to discuss."

Li Yunsheng said, he still insisted on leaving.

"What if I said, I can tell you the whereabouts of Yu Xuzi?"

The City Lord of One Night City smiled confidently.
