When Jing Yuan heard the word "Jingliu", his arm suspended in the air paused for a moment, but quickly returned to normal and did not attract Yan Qing's attention.

After taking some time to recount the entire experience, Yan Qing let out a long sigh and asked a question that had been on his mind for a long time.

"General, is Teacher Zishu an old friend of yours?"

"...Hehe..." Jing Yuan smiled and said meaningfully: "If they are not old friends, then they are probably friends regardless of age difference?"

In any aspect, Zishu is not inferior to him.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Zishu was a fairy boat man, he would be the general of Luofu in the future.

Although it may not sound nice, the facts are there. He is much more useful than Fu Qing... um?

This seems a bit impolite...

Anyway, it’s a good thing that Zishu is a friend. If he were an enemy, it would really make me feel uneasy...

"I don't quite understand the riddle you two are talking about, General..."

"A riddle? Maybe. A simple game of chess gave me a sudden enlightenment."

"Then how did he beat you? I remember it was a deadlock just now, and no one could beat anyone."

"That's right." Jing Yuan nodded, waved his hand to replay the chess game, and pointed to the rook behind the pawn, "It was originally in this position, right?"

"Yes, yes, it's here!" Yan Qing nodded suddenly.

Jing Yuan smiled, took the rook away under Yan Qing's puzzled gaze, and then placed the rook outside the chessboard in front of the pawn chess piece, which was exactly the starting position for Zishu to end the game.

"Huh?" Yan Qing had a few big question marks floating on his head, and asked uncertainly: "General, what you mean is... Mr. Zishu cheated and changed the position of the chess piece?"

"The name of this endgame is Immortality. It cannot be broken no matter what. The only way to break it is by cheating." Jing Yuan affirmed.

"Ah?" Yan Qing was confused.

I don’t understand why Zishu cheated, and I don’t understand why Jingyuan knew he cheated but still admitted that he lost.

"The pawn's movement trajectory is fully predictable, which is suitable for attacking the enemy directly, but it cannot guarantee victory over the enemy. It is like defending the interior against external enemies, but it cannot break free from the shackles of monotonous actions and cannot launch a counterattack..."

Jing Yuan gently explained Yan Qing's doubts, but he didn't care whether his words were irrelevant.

"If you only focus on the situation on the surface, you will inevitably be dealt a fatal blow by the rook outside the chessboard. Can you figure this out, Yanqing?"

The more Yan Qing listened, the more confused he became.

“…Report to the General, I don’t understand!”

"That's right, you don't understand. Please help me deliver this document to the Land Investor Relations Department, and then you can go wherever you want." Jing Yuan picked up a document and motioned Yan Qing to take it away.

"…Then General, Mirror Style—"

"I'll arrange for someone to catch her, don't worry."

"Ok."

Yan Qing put away the documents, scratched his head every three steps, and left the Shen Ce Mansion to go to the Di Heng Si, full of doubts.

After finishing the current important tasks, Jing Yuan yawned lazily, lay back in his chair, closed his eyes and rested, recalling the game with Zishu.

No wonder he deliberately let one of his cars be eaten...but then replaced the two cars.

Unexpectedly, in this era, there would be such an extremely interesting unknown guest on Akivalli’s Rainbow Chariot.

The soldiers were ineffective, and the car that remained on the field was just a cover. The car that left the stage early or had never been on the stage, but returned to the battlefield at the last moment, was the real trick that allowed the Starry Sky Train to arrive in Luofu.

The replacement of the two cars also seemed to hint that there might be problems within Luofu.

Thinking of the scattered news about the recent resurgence of the Medicine King's secret teachings, Jing Yuan tapped his fingers rhythmically on the chair and fell into deep thought.

The people from the Shen Ce Palace are unlikely to do so. The Gong Zao Division can be cleared of suspicion due to its nature, but the Ten Kings Division is absolutely impossible...

Then, the problem can only be with the Tianbosi and Dandingsi where there is a large turnover of personnel, and the Dihengsi which is involved in all matters inside and outside Luofu.

But it’s a bit hard to check...

It seems that we have no choice but to remain unchanged in the face of ever-changing circumstances. Right now, there are undercurrents in Luofu, and there are very few people who can be put to good use. If we make too big a move, we might alert the enemy.

Old friends return to the fairy boat one after another, and some barbarians whose backgrounds are unknown can't be ignored. Sigh, it's a headache.

Not to mention one tiny star core, even ten of them cannot shake Luofu. What is really worrying is that the star cores are used by people with ulterior motives, which is countless times more difficult to deal with than wild star cores.

This gift from the Star Core Hunter... came at a very timely moment.

But then again, even if the Star Core Hunters did not intercept the Star Train, the final result might have evolved into the current situation, right?

What is more surprising than a surprise soldier is someone who knows he is on the chessboard from the beginning and knows what role he should play.

"I didn't expect that I would also have a hidden card in my hand. It's really sad..." Jing Yuan was filled with emotion.

……

It was only when Yanqing arrived at Dihengsi that he realized that what Jingyuan gave him was actually a statement.

The Star Chariot that Chang Letian used in violation of driving regulations was actually driven by the judge of the Ten Kings Division who was arresting wanted criminals. The Diheng Division only needed to cooperate with the follow-up and did not need to pay attention to the driver's identity, as that was Luofu's top secret.

The people in the Dihengsi were also confused. After working for hundreds of years, this was the first time they received a handwritten statement from General Luofu.

My goodness, what kind of evil criminal did the mysterious judge of the Ten Kings Division catch?

After leaving the Diheng Division, Yan Qing was also annoyed. He didn't know that Zishu was the judge of the Ten Kings Division. A small part of the judge's information must not be known to outsiders, and he actually forced Zishu to ask about his origins...

No wonder Mr. Zishu said he was an alien interstellar traveler...

that--

The mysterious woman Jingliu, whom Teacher Zishu ignored, should not do anything bad to Luofu, otherwise the two would have fought long ago.

Thinking of a possibility, Yan Qing became alert and decided to immediately return to the original action to hunt down the prisoner Ren who escaped from Youyu Prison, but this time, he would be extra careful.

Yan Qing was full of fighting spirit. Just as he was about to walk towards the dock, he suddenly caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye and almost stumbled and fell to the ground.

I saw Zishu standing in front of the card tables next to Jianyaoxuan, playing Diyuan Qiongyu with others...

Aren't you escorting an important criminal? Why are you here slacking off instead of going back to the Ten Kings Division to report?

Yan Qing wanted to go over but hesitated. After struggling for a moment, he decided to pretend he didn't see it. After all, the Ten Kings Division acted mysteriously and had deep meanings.

165. Slacking off? You must be severely disciplined

"My benefactor, your communication with the general was too obscure. Is that okay?"

Zishu said confidently: "Don't worry. Are you sure you don't need me to go to Tianbosi to look for your parents?"

"No need. I know the importance of this. Luofu is in turmoil right now, so I'd better help you find the mastermind. As for the guy pretending to be me..."

"The worst possibility is that the person pretending to be you is the Messenger of Destruction." Zishu touched a card, "Even if that's the case, don't worry. The show will continue until the other party reveals their true intentions."

"Then I will take advantage of your good words."

"..."

While talking with Tingyun, it was Zishu's turn to draw cards. He got the hang of Emperor Yuan Qiong Yu very quickly and understood the rules of the game very easily. After all, it was an alternative culture of his hometown...

"Three."

"Yo, bar!"

The girl in black sleeves and green clothes' eyes lit up, and she happily took back the cards that Zishu had played.

"Hey, it looks like you're a bit unlucky today, bro."

"It's okay. No one is always unlucky. Who knows, maybe my luck will change soon." Zishu smiled indifferently.

"That's true. People have ups and downs. Playing cards is like avoiding being caught by your boss. How can anyone get caught every time?" The girl in green pondered for a moment, "70,000."

"Hu."

"Hooray!"

"Bullshit!"

The three of them spoke at the same time and revealed their cards one after another, leaving the girl in blue stunned.

"what?!"

"Hahaha!" The fox man next to Zishu gloated, "You are too early to be happy, Qingque, it actually fired three shots with one shot."

Qingque's little face turned blue and bitter, it felt so uncomfortable.

"It's over, I lost miserably..."

"It has come to this, let's give it a try next time, my friend." Zishu said happily, "Three downs and six ups, you are unlucky now, but your luck will definitely turn around next time."

Xianzhou is really fun. The people here are interesting and talkative. I like it here very much. Unfortunately, there are some blind people in the dark who want to do something bad to Luofu.

"That makes sense, shuffle the cards!"

Qingque was optimistic. He first took out his mobile phone to take a look. Seeing that there was no movement, he quickly put the bad luck behind him and continued playing cards.

……

Changletian Plaza, Xing and his three companions walked slowly in from the direction of Xingcha Wharf.

"Uh...the person sent by Fu Taibu seems to be a bit strange." Xing looked at the chat box on his phone, speechless on his face.

Just a few words of notice and a photo that seemed to be taken on the spot. Neither the location nor the iconic building was mentioned. Changletian is so big, how long will it take to find the place after walking around?

It's not reliable.

"Let me see." Sanyue came forward and tilted her head. "What does this mean? Just sending a picture, are you asking us to meet at this place? Why does it feel so much like the kidnappers' meeting in the movies..."

Xing: "Let me ask you a question."

However, more than half a minute passed and there was no movement.

A minute passed, still nothing.

What about people?

Walter pondered and said, “Don’t you think the pattern on the plaque of that building is familiar? It is also a landmark building. It must be near the square.”

"The pattern on the plaque... yeah, I heard Zishu say it was called something... um, oh, right, Tai Chi!"

San Yueqi suddenly realized, "Come to think of it, isn't Zishu really from Xianzhou? The clothes and ornaments he often wears make him look like a fortune teller from Taibusi, even his abilities are the same."

"Indeed, everyone knows fortune-telling." Xing nodded in agreement.

However...if you think about it carefully, it seems a little different. Zishu seems to have never used the one called Yuzhao for assistance.

"Ms. Tingyun, you are a local, so you should know where this is, right?" asked March 7.

"Oh, Changletian is so big, and I haven't been here very often, so I don't know either." Tingyun fanned herself leisurely and said with a smile, "Looking at the street scene in the photo, I think it's a place for divination."

"Then let's look around." Walter pushed his glasses.

"You guys go ahead. I'll take a rest in the scenic pavilion over there. We'll meet up here later when we find someone."

"You are really good at ordering people around!" March Seven complained.

……

"Hurry up, Qingque. By the time you play this trick, we will all be dead." The card player in the south seat urged.

"Speaking of Qingque, I heard that Taibusi's cave was also hit by a disaster..." West Seat's card friend asked curiously, "Why are you still in the mood to play cards here for so long?"

Zishu pricked up his ears silently.

After playing cards here for so long, he finally got down to business. He did not forget that he had now officially returned to the main storyline and might meet his companions at any time.

"Oh, it's no big deal." Qingque spread his hands, "Even if the sky of the Taibu Division collapses, there is still the Taibu Lady to hold it up. Although she is not tall, her ability is extraordinary."

Ah Ha suddenly let out a creepy laugh, and Zishu's mouth twitched slightly.

What is he doing? What is he trying to do?

"Option 1: It's ok for him to slack off at his age, but he also slanders his superior behind his back. He must be severely punished. Find an opportunity to reveal Qingque's quotes recorded by Ah Ha to Taibusi Fu Xuan, and criticize Qingque's bad behavior in front of her. Reward: Fu Xuan's favorability will increase ↑~~"

"Choice 2: Qingque, you don't want Fu Taibu to know that you said these words, right? Send this quotation to Qingque and threaten her to set an example for contemporary young people, work hard and work overtime on her own initiative, and do her best to help the leader solve problems. Reward Light Cone: "Capitalist": When using, master the terminology that can perfectly control the subordinates."

"Choice three: The previous choice is really despicable. Wouldn't it be better to be a fisherman who reaps the benefits? Send the recording anonymously to Fu Xuan, and play the role of a good guy when Fu Xuan criticizes Qingque. Reward: Qingque's favorability increases ↑~~ Fu Xuan's favorability decreases ↑"

Zishu's eyes were like knives cutting into Ahaha, and deep in his heart he was filled with nothing but contempt.

Despicable, right? Then choose the despicable one!

"I'm not here to play around." Qingque said leisurely, "I'm here to wait for the guests who are coming. Time is precious. This is called slacking off while working."
