But the ghost general walked in front of thousands of troops, suddenly thrust his long sword into the ground, then clasped his hands together and bowed to the soldiers.
"This step, I give in."
Then it didn't pick up the weapon, but turned around and walked towards Li Muhan.
As he passed by the two of them, the ghost general let out a long sigh.
Then, the two of them saw his figure disappear into the battlefield.
"Where...did it go?"
"Back in its body."
Wei Xingchang said with a sigh of relief.
"What on earth is going on?"
Li Muhan scratched his head and still didn't understand what was happening.
"Brother... what you have set is a dead end, but also a life-or-death situation. Within two steps, no matter how hard the ghost general tries to break the situation, he will surely fail."
"So...now that's the plan?"
"It chose not to fight and to give in."
Li Muhan became even more confused. He thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so he had no choice but to ask Wei Xingchang.
"But didn't you say that no matter how it makes this move, it will definitely lose within two moves?"
Wei Xingchang sighed helplessly and turned to look at Li Muhan.
"Little brother, let me ask you, does Senior Brother... have any next step?"
Damn it.
Li Muhan suddenly realized.
"These thousands of troops seem to have surrounded the ghost general, but they have left a way for him to escape, so that he will not be defeated in one round. If the ghost general only thinks about how to attack and break the situation, he will never be able to get out of this situation. Play chess.”
"So...the real breakthrough is not inside the game, but outside the game. Does that mean talent is the key?"
Li Muhan figured out that even if the ghost general took a step back, he would still be killed by Xie Chengtian in his next move, and that would be an absolutely hopeless situation.
But Xie Chengtian will never take the next step.
"Victory cannot be won without force."
Li Muhan sighed.
"That's why it just walked away without saying a word. It felt that it had lost, lost to its senior brother, and also lost to itself."
"Then what should we do now?"
"Get out..."
After saying this, Wei Xingchang began to chant a spell.
The chess game was over, and there was no longer any power to bind the souls here to leave, but at the last moment of leaving, Li Muhan looked at where the soldiers were.
In a trance, he found that among the thousands of troops, there was a handsome man with a slim figure and a gentle appearance, bending down and bowing to him.
"...Director Xie, nice to meet you."
......
When Li Muhan opened his eyes again, he had returned to his body.
"Finally you're back. If you hadn't come back, this vampire would have torn down Yumen Pass!!"
Seeing Li Muhan waking up, Zhang Wenlin said with fear.
Xia Yue, who had been holding Li Muhan's body in her arms, glared at Hati. After confirming that Li Muhan had recovered, she let go of her hand as if nothing had happened.
"Xia Yue, why are you here? Where are those evil spirits outside Yumen Pass?"
Li Muhan asked.
"The ghost general just now has returned to the underworld and brought all the wronged souls and evil spirits to the underworld."
Wei Xingchang seemed to have woken up earlier than Li Muhan, and he was also sitting in a chair to rest.
Li Muhan turned his head and looked, and sure enough, there was no figure left where the black ghost general had originally been sitting.
In this way, the matter can be considered satisfactorily resolved.
After the ghost general disappears, the yellow sand stops and the sky clears the clouds to reveal the sun.
Everything seems to have experienced a new life.
After noticing the weather change, the Yulang City Special Management Bureau also dispatched personnel, with Director Wei Xingchang personally commanding the team to deal with the aftermath.
After completing the handover work, Wei Xingchang walked to Xie Chengtian's body and sat down.
He spoke calmly, as if chatting with a friend he hadn't seen for a long time.
"Senior Brother... Is it worth it? You could have had a better life, but now more than ten years have passed, and all you have left are these bones... You are so stupid. Senior brother."
"You cracked Xie Chengtian's chess game, Wei Xingchang, maybe you are not as stupid as I thought."
Zhang Wenlin's attitude towards Wei Xingchang also softened slightly.
But Wei Xingchang just gave a bitter smile.
"Cracked... Hehe, does this count as cracked, Brother... Brother."
He had his back to the group, his fat body trembling, and his hands slowly rested on the bony shoulders.
"Senior brother... I'm just a waste. Why did you just leave this mess to me..."
Zhang Wenlin wanted to say something else, but Li Muhan held his hand tightly and shook his head at him.
"...Don't fight, don't fight, brother! Brother...my good brother..."
Time seems to have returned to twenty years ago at this moment.
Wei Xingchang was just twenty years old that year, and Xie Chengtian was only twenty-five years old.
"No more, no more, senior brother, I will never be able to defeat you."
"Achang, you can't beat me because you always only know how to retreat. If you keep doing this, how can you be successful?"
"Hey, senior brother, you don't understand. I am happy and leisurely. Anyway, there are already so many powerful people in this world, and there is no shortage of me. Senior brother, you are one of them."
"Waili, you are just lazy."
The young and handsome Wei Xingchang looked at his senior brother and laughed.
"Senior brother, this is not unreasonable. This is the great road. If we don't fight, it is the great road."
"Indisputable....."
"Look, Brother, if I take a step back, you can take one of my pieces. But if I just walk away and never make the next move, you will never be able to beat me!"
Xie Chengtian sighed.
"You kid, why are you always so cunning and not down-to-earth at all?"
"Brother, please remember what I said. Maybe it will help you in the future."
"You kid... okay, no fight, no fight."
......
After a few people said goodbye to Wei Xingchang, they continued to drive towards the outside of Yumen Pass.
There was still one day away from the destination. At this time, Li Muhan looked at the clearing sky outside the window and the Yumenguan tower that was getting further away, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Xie Chengtian's senior brother did not implement his long-standing philosophy in the last game of chess. Instead, he used an endgame that only his junior brother could see through at a glance. His purpose in doing so...
"What are you thinking about?"
Xia Yue asked worriedly when she saw that Li Muhan kept looking out the window without speaking.
"I'm wondering if Xie Chengtian feels that his junior brother is the only one who can break the situation."
After Li Muhan finished speaking, the car fell into silence.
"Ugh."
Zhang Wenlin sighed.
"Maybe this was also a gamble by Xie Chengtian. Fortunately, he made the right bet."
Li Muhan then asked in detail about the battles between Hati and Xia Yue outside and inside Yumen Pass.
The driver was very excited, he almost witnessed the whole process.
"Miss Hati's fighting is very wild. She is almost the incarnation of wind and snow. No matter how the wronged souls scream, they cannot get close to her. And those who are approached by her will soon be shattered!"
"As for Miss Xia Yue..."
The driver was a little embarrassed to speak, but he finally spoke after a long time.
"Maybe it's because Miss Hati is too strong, and there are hardly any evil spirits that cross Yumen Pass, so Miss Xia Yue's battle looks a bit... slacking off?"
"You mean I'm not as good as this stupid wolf?"
The topic came to an abrupt end with Xia Yue's cold words...
Chapter 81 Love Consultation
The rest of the trip went smoothly. After successfully receiving the cultural relics from the scientific expedition team, the group returned to Yulang City, planning to rest here for one night before going back.
Wei Xingchang also received several people warmly, but Li Muhan and others felt that Wei Xingchang had changed.
He didn't like to smile, and his brows were always furrowed, as if he had thousands of unresolved matters on his mind.
"Give him some time. The ghost is gone. From now on, the Yulang City Special Administration Bureau must shoulder the responsibility of protecting the party."
Although Zhang Wenlin doesn't like Wei Xingchang, there is nothing he can do now. He plans to apply to the General Special Administrative Bureau after he returns to dispatch several combat-ready personnel and aliens to Yulang City.
While eating in the evening, Li Muhan received a phone call.
When he saw that the caller ID was Luo Yang, Li Muhan didn't shy away and answered the call directly in front of everyone.
Unexpectedly, the person speaking was a woman.
"Li Muhan."
"Huh? Luo Yang? You kid used a voice changer to fuck me, right?"
Li Muhan thought Luo Yang was joking with him, but he felt something was wrong. This woman's voice sounded so familiar.
"It's me, Chen Sihan."
Li Muhan subconsciously wanted to hang up, but Chen Sihan on the other end of the phone seemed to have anticipated this situation and said quickly.
"Hey! I'm not here to talk to you about Ruoxi, but our junior high school classmates recently wanted to get together for a class reunion, so I wanted to ask you to come with us."
"What does your junior high school classmates have to do with me? I'm not in the same class as you."
In fact, Gu Ruoxi, Chen Sihan, and Luo Yang were classmates in the same class, but he was not.
"Isn't it because you are familiar with many people in our class, so I want to invite you to join us."
Chen Sihan spoke very sincerely on the phone, and Luo Yang seemed to be saying something next to him. Li Muhan felt a little annoyed, but he couldn't refuse.
"Okay, I'm out of town now, let's talk about it when I get back."
"The class reunion is this weekend, you must come to attend."
After hanging up the phone, Li Muhan wanted to continue eating, but he felt the very dissatisfied look of Xia Yue next to him.
"That woman again?"
"Your ears are so good, you can hear her even without the speakerphone on. She just wants me to attend a class reunion this weekend."
"......this weekend?"
Xia Yue was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes slowly turned cold. No matter how Li Muhan talked to her, she didn't answer. She went straight back to her room after eating.
Li Muhan didn't understand what was going on at first, but after eating, he went back to his room and lay on the bed, thinking about it, but he still couldn't come up with an answer.
It wasn't until the TV was showing that Yulang City was preparing to build a new Northwest theme park that Li Muhan suddenly remembered.
"Damn it! I promised to take her to Tianhai City Amusement Park this weekend!"
