Our Time: Unswerving until Death

Chapter 73 Please, Sir!

Lao Duan is a famous stinky chess player, everyone knows this, but this stinky chess player of Lao Duan did not get it on his own initiative, but was forced, a person in a high position, playing chess at home all day long, this Why?

It is said that Lao Yuan disbanded the National Assembly, set up the Political Affairs Office, overriding the cabinet, grasping the big power and the small power, he thought he could rest easy, but unexpectedly, he suddenly found that the younger brothers under him seemed to be disobedient.

Old Duan has advised Big Brother more than once not to engage in Jun Xian, and not to be pushed by Yang Chengzan's grandsons, that thing is just a false name, you should be a good Big Brother, you have the power, and leave the rest to your brothers. On Huaxia's three-acre land, whoever dares to be disobedient, the brothers will beat him up.

Lao Feng also wrote a book, telling the big brother not to be fooled, even if he wants to be the emperor, don't be easy to capsize during this time period, after all, the south is not peaceful.

It should be noted that the two younger brothers of Lao Yuan are both big men with heavy armies in their hands, and what they say is very important. This can't help making Lao Yuan's bedroom uneasy, often waking up in the middle of the night, and indirectly prompting Lao Yuan to I made up my mind to cut down military power.

In the history of China, most of the peerless men who started a business together cannot escape a law. Before the great cause is completed, they are all good brothers. After the great cause is completed, their noses are not noses.

When the cunning rabbit dies, the lackey cooks; when the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden.

It's just that everyone's approach to this issue is different.

Some people are ruthless, with a fast and sharp knife pinned to their waists, turning their faces and ignoring others. For example, the group of old colleagues who started a business with Lao Zhu back then, few of them ended well in the end.

Some people are more gentle in their methods. For example, Lao Zhao set up a table and invited everyone to have a meal. The table opened up, and he understood it with affection and moved him with reason. With two prongs, he took back his military power while drinking. These old colleagues can be a rich man and enjoy their old age in peace.

Old Zhu Xinheng is hot handed because he has the confidence. He single-handedly defeated the Great Ming Dynasty, while Lao Yuan picked peaches halfway through the country. Naturally, he is not as tough as Lao Zhu.

Besides, Lao Yuan is not the kind of ruthless person who kills donkeys in essence. These younger brothers were all single-handedly selected by Lao Yuan back then. Over the years, they have made a lot of contributions in fighting in the South and the North.

Lao Yuan was more or less thinking about old feelings, so he planned to follow Lao Zhao's example and use gentle means.

Old Duan was the first to deal with it. Firstly, the old Duan talked a lot and raised objections five times; Confidants, such as Xu Shuzheng, Jin Yunpeng, and Fu Liangzuo, did not even report.

So much so that the madman Xu Shuzheng, in the compound, slapped the sky and the air, and the small report that beat him behind his back was handed over to Lao Yuan's desk.

But Lao Yuan didn't think about how to do it for a while. It happened that Dongyi's advisor Sakaxi Rihachiro, whose Chinese name was "Ban Zhichao", handed him a good plan, and he became a high-level organization similar to the "Military Aircraft Department". Like the Zhengshitang, the two have one civil and one military, and then Lao Duan, a military attache, was promoted to a civilian position, and the post of army chief was dismissed, and no one could find a reason.

So, Lao Duan became depressed, unable to play or resist, so he started skipping work and playing Go at home all day.

Lao Yuan looked at it and said, "Okay, okay, as long as you don't talk too much, you can play your Go game. If you don't have enough money, don't say anything, big brother will take care of everything."

After He Qi finished his breakfast, he and Qian Xuan went straight to the store. As soon as they entered the door, good guy, more than half of the people were already seated in the downstairs hall, which was bustling like a vegetable market. Looking at the record, someone had already entered the store. .

He Qi glanced at it for a while, and suddenly felt strange, the white piece on this chess game was clearly like a swamp, covered with water plants, while the black piece was like a wild bull, only knew to run amok, if the white piece wanted to win, it would stalk the white piece to death every minute He was a savage bull, but Bai Zi let Hei Zi collide and ignored him, so that Hei Zi had a big advantage.

"Who played this white ball?" He Qi asked curiously.

When the spectators saw that it was He Qi, they immediately laughed and said, "The white piece is Gu Rushui, Mr. Yubai, guess who the black piece is?"

After saying this, He Qi understood that Gu Ru can make Gu Ru look like this underwater, and he can figure it out with his toes, except for Lao Duan, a stinky chess player, who else?
Originally, He Qi watched with relish and felt relieved, but was called by brother Xun, who was full of worries, to a grocery room in the backyard. Once the door was closed, the sound outside could not be heard. Inside, brother Xun, Qian Xuan and He Qi three people.

Brother Xun leaned against the wall, with a serious face and frowning: "There is something, I think we should tell you two. In the morning, Long Si sneaked out to find me and told me something."

Qian Xuan immediately said: "What's the matter? Tell me quickly."

Brother Xun said: "Long Si said that the Long Gang opened a handicap, and the bet is the game between Yu Bai and Gao Bu Daoping. The bet is already astronomical."

The two things put together are very intriguing. He Qi pursed her lips and felt that they were not the same thing, so she asked: "Yucai, apart from talking about this, Long Si also said who will win now?" many?"

Brother Xun said: "I didn't say that, but before leaving, Long Si also said that there are usually more bets to see who wins in the end, and the Dragon Gang will privately find this person to let him play a fake match. This is how Jinmen martial arts is manipulated. I What I worry about now is, if Brother Yubai wins more, will the Dragon Gang members use tricks to make Brother Yubai play a fake match?"

Qian Xuandao: "The people from Dongyi came last night and proposed to let Brother Yubai play a fake match."

Brother Xun was surprised: "Could it be that there are many people who bought Brother Yubai's victory?"

He Qi shook her head, and analyzed: "It should not be from the same road. The Dongyi people are simply afraid of losing, and the people from the Dragon Gang have not yet appeared. From the current point of view, Gaobu Daoping should win more in the handicap. If there are many people who buy me to win, this meeting has already come. But whether the people from the Dragon Gang come or not, the result is the same, and I can't play fake matches. We don't know about this. Let's just stay in the store , don’t go out, don’t meet people, don’t give them a chance to speak.”

Brother Xun and Qian Xuan nodded together.

The old Duan is not tall, with a dark and thin face, clear cheekbones, and a beard that is neither long nor short. He looks ordinary, but his eyes are very sharp. He can tell that he is not an ordinary person. He Qi treats this After a game of chess, I went to the backyard.

The old Duan Xi sat on the mat, won the chess, and listened to the compliments from the famous players around him, feeling complacent, when suddenly the door of the chess room opened, Gu Rushui saw it was He Qi, and hurriedly shouted: "Brother Yubai, Mr. Duan is here."

Old Duan got up too. It was the first time he saw He Qi, and he took a few glances. After the two finished their salutes, He Qi sat across from Old Duan with a chessboard in between. The scene of the sage teaching.

Old Duan said with a smile: "Mr. Yubai's name, Duan has heard about it for a long time, seeing it now, it is indeed true, tomorrow will compete with Gaobu Daoping, can you be sure?"

He Qi replied: "I dare not say that I am completely sure, but I am not nervous. Before I came here, I watched Duan Gong and Brother Gu playing chess outside for a while."

These words imply He Qi's self-confidence, which is relatively cryptic. When Lao Duan heard it, he was very happy, and then smiled: "Mr. Yubai, what do you think of my chess skills?"

For the chess players in this circle who rely on the old Duan to support them, it is not shameful to brag and compliment their parents, but it is unreasonable for He Qi to brag without conscience. He Qi thought about it and changed to a humorous one. Saying: "Anyway, it's not easy to beat you in a game of chess."

With a pun, everyone covered their mouths and sniggered, and the old Duan laughed even more, and said to the people around him: "Look, I, a fellow, don't give me any face at all!"

"Come on, I'm asking someone for advice."

He Qi's egg hurts, so she had to deal with it, but saw that everyone was running behind Lao Duan, talking and admonishing, dare to be the next person in the group.

Gu Rushui smiled and said, "Brother Yubai, only Gao Bu Daoping has enjoyed this kind of treatment, and I am not qualified."

He Qi smiled and said nothing.

After a game of chess was over, Lao Duan was about to get up and go back home. Before leaving, he said, "Mr. Yubai, I won't bother you anymore. Please rest assured and prepare for the game. I will come back tomorrow to cheer on the scene. Raise the prestige of our country and justify our name in Huaxia Go."

At the end, the old Duan bowed and saluted with a solemn attitude, and said solemnly: "Please, sir!"

Leaving other aspects aside, Lao Duan's love for Go is unquestionable, and He Qi said with deep emotion: "Please don't worry, Mr. Duan."

When the old Duan heard this, he walked out happily.
