Mr. Zhanlong was alone in a dark room, with a chessboard in front of him, and there was a broken game on the chessboard, and a white piece was holding a hand. At this time, he was frowning and thinking about something.

After a long time, Zhanlong didn't dare to make a decision for a long time. He could only sigh deeply, put down the white piece in his hand, then stood up and opened the door. The dazzling sunlight shone directly in. His eyebrows frowned instantly, and he covered his eyes with his hands.

"It's dawn?" Zhanlong sighed helplessly.

"Sir, you are awake." Chu Yi's feminine voice came from the side.

Zhanlong yawned and nodded, "I'm awake. Do you have any news to tell me now?"

Chu nodded, "Sir, it's true that things are amazing. Four of the five people who entered the city lord's mansion yesterday showed up and started wandering around Jiangcheng. The identities of two people have basically been confirmed, namely Li Qing and Yuwen Chuan who left two years ago. The identities of the other two have not been identified. One of them is a new face and the other is a master who is good at hiding. Two waves of people have suffered losses in his hands."

Zhanlong nodded disapprovingly, "That's all?"

Hearing this, Chu Yi's expression suddenly became confused, and he quickly said the words in his mind that were not straightened out. "Last night, an extremely powerful aura suddenly appeared in the city lord's mansion. It was not Wu Jie or Yu Wenyuan. It was unknown who it was for the time being."

Zhanlong nodded again, his expression on his face was still dissatisfied, and he continued to ask, "What else?"

A trace of cold sweat appeared on Chu Yi's face, and his expression became flustered. He was shy for a long time but didn't expect anything else to be missed.

Seeing Chu Yi showing such an expression, Zhanlong nodded in disappointment, "Didn't you ask you to investigate the matters in the spiritual realm yesterday? There is no news yet?"

Chu Yi was stunned for a moment, with a series of cold sweats on his face, and he said in a panic: "Sir, there is no news about this matter yet."

Hearing this answer, Zhanlong nodded calmly, and was not angry.

This reaction scared Chu Yi again, and knelt down on one knee without saying a word, "I haven't done this matter well, so please punish me."

Zhanlong looked at Chu Yi's inexplicable action and immediately said dissatisfiedly: "What are you doing? Did I say I want to blame you?"

Chu Yi still didn't get up, still looking like he admits his mistake, his head kept lowering, and his expression was also a little nervous.

Zhanlong glanced at Chu Yi again and whispered: "Don't be so nervous, I just asked casually, because that is something I'm more interested in. Since you haven't found it, wouldn't we just go and ask?"

This made Chu stunned, his eyes widened for a moment, and he looked at Zhanlong with disbelief, "Sir, what did you just say?"

"I said let's go and ask, wouldn't it be fine?" Zhanlong repeated again.

Chu Yi still looked surprised, "Go and ask Bai Yu directly?"

Zhanlong nodded naturally, "Of course I asked him, otherwise who do you think you would ask?"

"But let's ask, will he tell us?" Chu Yi asked worriedly again.

Zhanlong replied indifferently: "Then can you find it?"

Chu Yi was stunned on the ground and shook his head unwillingly.

Zhanlong spread his hands and said as expected: "Isn't that good? Since you can't find it, then let's just ask directly? It would be best if he was willing to say that. It would be fine if he didn't say that, just take a cup of tea for free."

"But..." Chu Yi said with some concern.

"Don't, sometimes things are very simple. You always make things complicated by being clever. The best way is to go straight." Zhanlong couldn't stand Chu Yi's indecisive approach and directly scolded him.

Chu Yi lowered his head and thought for a while, and nodded slowly. These two sentences were very simple, but the more he chewed, the more he felt the taste. He immediately said respectfully: "Thank you for your advice, Mr. Chu Yi has benefited a lot."

Zhanlong nodded helplessly and waved his hand, "Let's go now."

Chu Yi nodded directly and led the dragon to walk out.

When the two were about to arrive at the city lord's mansion, Chu Yi suddenly remembered something and asked worriedly: "Sir, will it be a bit unsafe for us to see Bai Yu like this? I can't afford to do something if something happens to you."

Zhanlong cut off with disdain, walked forward on his own, and went straight to the door of the mansion, with his hands behind his back, and said to the guard at the door with great care: "Zhanlong asks to see Bai Yu!"

The guards looked at each other, and both of them were extremely confused. They didn't know what the little man who suddenly appeared in front of them was.

Just as the guard was about to come forward to ask, he saw Chu Yi catching up from behind Zhanlong, and the man respectfully clasped his fists and responded, "Young Master, I'll report it now."

Zhanlong nodded in surprise and muttered casually, "Are the guards of the City Lord's Mansion so good at observing their words?"

"Sir, because of his temperament, the two of them naturally dare not underestimate them." Chu Yi replied quickly.

Zhanlong sneered disdainfully, "It's because of temperament? I think you're flattering? Is it because of your wholeheartedness?"

These words made Chu Yi blush.

Not long after, the guard trotted back and said respectfully: "Sir, please invite me, please both of you."

Zhanlong nodded and followed the guard.

But the three of them walked away for a long time without any haste and went around the city lord's mansion.

"You're intentional

Taking us in circles? Back to the gate?" When Chu Yi said this, the expression on his face had become cold and he was ready to take action.

Zhanlong, who was a little aware of it, asked in confusion: "Have we walked around?"

The guard clasped his fists and said, "Please forgive me, you two. This is what the adults specifically ordered the villain to do, because the adults said that the two young masters were the first time in the city lord's mansion, and they must be very interested in the things in the mansion. They specially asked the villain to take the two around quietly."

Hearing this explanation, Zhanlong smiled silently and shrugged, "It's really surprising, but to be honest, I'm really interested in this City Lord's Mansion, but after walking around, I'm not interested anymore."

The guard smiled awkwardly and his face was filled with cold sweat because he didn't know whether what he did was right or wrong.

Chu Yi snorted coldly, "Can you take us to see Lord Bai now?"

The guard reacted directly and immediately led the two of them to the hall. Bai Yu was waiting inside.

Zhanlong stood outside the hall and saw Bai Yu sitting cross-legged on the ground. A sneer appeared on his face. He stopped him with his hand and signaled Chu Yi to stay outside and not go in.

Chu Yigang wanted to refute.

The cold and unquestionable look that Zhanlong glanced at him made him hold back his words and stood there honestly.

When the guard saw Chu Yi suddenly stopped, his eyes turned around and directly invited Chu Yi to the side hall and served a pot of good tea.

Bai Yu watched Zhanlong get closer and closer, and the infamiliar face made him sigh helplessly.

Zhanlong walked to Bai Yu, clasped his fists with both hands, bent down and bowed, "Bong Liang pays homage to Senior Brother Bai Yu."

Bai Yu smiled with a pursed lips, and pointed to the cushion opposite the palm fan slightly, "In terms of age, you have to call me uncle!"

Gong Liang ignored this and sat on the cushion, then took the initiative to take the initiative, picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Bai Yu, then poured himself a cup, then raised his glass gently, signaled it, and drank it all in one go.

But as soon as the tea was drunk, Gong Liang's face changed, "Senior brother is a little too stingy, right? He didn't even prepare a hot tea for his junior brother."

Bai Yu smiled faintly, "Believe it or not, I'll pour you tea, it's hot?"

Hearing this, Gong Liang's expression changed again, "So, my senior brother has already anticipated what I thought after sitting down?"

Bai Yu nodded and admitted directly: "That's right, not only that, I asked someone to take you around here before, is it also in line with your wishes?"

Gong Liang did not deny it and nodded directly, "Yes, what my senior brother did happen is exactly what I want."

"How is this wise man?" Bai Yu asked very directly.

Gong Liang nodded sincerely, "I haven't tasted this kind of calculating feeling for a long time, but I felt very comfortable eating and didn't feel uncomfortable at all."

Bai Yu asked bluntly: "I've been walking around the road and drinking tea. If you have any questions, ask quickly. Don't get closer here. You know we are not a member of the same place."

Gong Liang shook his head, "Senior brother is so serious. You and I are the same type of people, why should we be so aggressive? This kind of inequality strategy, senior brother, you have lost the price."

Bai Yu looked at Gong Liang with a smile and asked, "I heard that you call yourself Mr. Zhanlong? Do you think you deserve it?"

Gong Liang nodded confidently, "I think it's perfect based on the things I did myself."

Bai Yu smiled and shook his head, "Slaying dragons is not beheading. Killing a big dragon does not necessarily mean winning. It's just attacking and killing a big chess, not necessarily killing a big chess. Your point is wrong."

The expression on Gong Liang's face changed instantly, but it was just fleeting. He laughed dryly, "It seems that senior brother wants to hit me well?"

"Of course, a famous chess game player, that is, he made several lucky plans and also took the nickname of a bad meaning. Do you think you should hit it well?" Bai Yu threw this question back to Gong Liang.

Gong Liang's expression moved slightly, and he smiled faintly, poured himself a cup of tea, and then drank it all, "Senior brother, I have also suffered too. Sometimes some food is better than not, just like this cold tea, having is better than not, and there is also the so-called dragon-killing. Who said that this dragon must be a big dragon? Can't it be an innumerable little dragon? Senior brother, do you think I'm right?"

Gong Liang's words made Bai Yu frown for the first time, and his expression was no longer breeze and calm, but showed a faint solemn feeling.

Bai Yu did not answer immediately. Gong Liang picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea, and then poured it up to Bai Yu's tea cup.

Bai Yu didn't drink it before. When he poured it, the tea instantly overflowed and flowed across the entire table.

Gong Liang stopped at the right time and said with a faint smile: "The current situation is the situation facing the senior brother. It is obviously just a pot of cold tea, but the senior brother is unwilling to stop. He still wants it, but the cold tea cup is small, how can this water be kept? Why not change the pot of hot tea? Change a large cup?"

Hearing this metaphor, Bai Yu smiled disdainfully and shook his head directly, without refuting Gong Liang, just as Gong Liang did not refute him at the beginning, because both of them were right.

Everyone understands the truth and everyone can understand the situation, but the position cannot change. This is the difference between Bai Yu and Gong Liang, and it is also the reason why Bai Yu has always disdained Gong Liang.

Gong Liang saw the disdainful smile on Bai Yu's face, and his expression instantly froze. He never savored the words just now in his mind, and did not feel anything was wrong. Then after thinking about it, he understood the reason for Bai Yu's smile.

.

"Senior brother, you and I can't make decisions about some things. Just like the North will surely unify in the future, no one can organize it. Otherwise, it would be an enemy of the five places. I don't believe in a mere craftsman city with the ability to do such a heaven-defying thing." Gong Liang said very seriously.

Bai Yu agreed with this and nodded.

Gong Liang continued, "The general trend is not to be done. Today's Jiangcheng is this broken teapot. The tea is cold and the water is empty. What are you going to do? Why not change to a new teapot and rest a new pot?"

Bai Yu disagreed with this and shook his head directly, "Do you know what changes will happen after a teapot is brewed for decades? A purple clay teapot with patina is much more expensive than your new teapot. This is the so-called foundation, not to mention the large teapot of Jiangcheng that has been hundreds or thousands of years old. Do you still think it is broken and old without any damage to the bones?"

Gong Liang was moved for a moment, and his expression became a little uneasy.

"What I just said is rough, but the words are rough and not rough. You are young and energetic. When you are in troubled times, it is normal to make your name clear, but sometimes you have to use your brain. Don't be fooled by that old man in a few words. Do you think the so-called general trend of the world can be seen clearly by you, a child?" Bai Yu suddenly asked back.

Gong Liang was about to refute, but Bai Yu asked again, "When will you figure out the chessboard clearly? You should consider these issues?"

Gong Liang opened his mouth again and again, but he swallowed the rebuttal words. Bai Yu's words hit his fatal hole, which is what he has always been criticized by the world.
