"Wang?"

A gentle and delicate sound is not a dog when you hear it.

The white cat raised his head, with some egg yolk debris on his mouth, staring straight at him, then slightly tilted his head.

"fine."

Chen Shu said to it: "Eat quickly."

“Wow?”

"Eat quickly!"

"An ~"

The white cat glanced at him and then lowered his head to continue eating.

Chen Shu looked at Gu Xiuqun, but there was no movement, so he continued to pick up the buns and ate them slowly.

After more than ten minutes.

Chen Shu held Taozi and walked into the courtyard of the deputy sect leader.

The sound of mountain birds became clear.

On the stone table, two figures sat opposite each other, each brewing a pot of tea. A chessboard lattice was carved on the table, and black and white pieces were embellished.

Chen Shu was a little surprised, but walked in: "Sect Master, Deputy Sect Master, Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year."

"Happy, come here."

Chen Shu put down the peach and let it run around in the yard. Then he walked over honestly and looked at the sect leader.

Ordinary sect masters are very homeless.

At this time, the deputy sect leader turned his head and asked:

"Can you get off?"

"Only know how to play chess."

"How is the chess playing?"

"I didn't do well." Chen Shu paused, "I haven't won much of it with the people around me."

"That's really not good." The deputy sect leader picked up a son and played chess with his master, and said to him, "This game will be over soon."

"good."

Chen Shu didn't leave, but sat down to see him instead.

Go is an intelligence game. People who play well must have high intelligence. People who play poorly may not be bad. They still have to depend on proficiency.

Judging from the expression, the deputy sect leader has the upper hand.

The two of them drank tea and fell a few more times during the break.

At the same time, they kept chatting.

From them, he heard that Pluo sent back the news last night, and His Majesty summoned the Sword King to the capital overnight.

The sword light traveled thousands of kilometers, and in just over a moment, it arrived in the capital.

The kidnapped of the direct inheritors of the royal family was a major event in ancient times, and it was not an exaggeration to put the army in an overwhelming situation.

It is also a great thing now.

But the times are different after all. In terms of procedural terms, the royal family can no longer mobilize the army. It does not mean that the army cannot rescue the group leader, and must go through formal procedures. This is more complicated than the disappearance of ordinary officers. If ordinary officers are replaced, the Yiguo army can even send powerful forces to rescue them for propaganda purposes only. However, the Yiguo royal family has always pursued the concept of "downplaying privileges" and is unwilling to make the people think that the royal family is still above the people.

Now the royal family is in a period of weakness again.

In the past, the royal family had two ninth levels, but now there was only one left. They were injured a year ago. The new emperor only had eighth levels, and his foundation was different from that of the former emperor. The sword king could be mobilized at will.

The royal court has been loyal to the royal family for generations.

The deputy sect leader picked up the chess piece on the table, and Yu Guang glanced at Chen Shu: "Do you know that boy?"

“Very familiar.”

Chen Shu was very grateful to the deputy sect leader. This was actually a chance to interrupt and ask him questions of concern, but he did not ask Cao Ci's sensitive questions about why the group leader was abducted, and he did not even use a questioning tone. Instead, he paused for a moment and said with emotion: "I don't know if my friend can come back safely after suffering this disaster..."

The deputy sect leader couldn't help but laugh.

Chen Shu knew what he was laughing at, and he was laughing at himself too restrictive, but Chen Shu just thought he couldn't understand.

The sect leader pinched the chess piece, frowned and thought, and looked up at him, comforting: "Don't worry, although Cao Ci has come to this point, he and the late emperor knew it for the time being. He still cannot do such a thing as killing the late queen for no reason. Besides, killing the direct inheritor of the throne has reached the bottom line, and he is not so stupid."

"Thank you, Sect Master."

Chen Shu felt a little relieved.

Moreover, looking at the attitudes of the two big guys, he felt that he was neither surprised nor worried.

"I haven't thought about it yet, Master?"

"well……"

The sect leader disturbed the chessboard and admitted defeat.

The deputy sect leader smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and pointed, and all the chess pieces flew up and fell back into their respective chess cups, and said to the sect leader: "Master, please come back. I still have to share my spiritual experience with this child and fight again in the future."

"Can."

The sect leader stood up and left quietly.

Chen Shu thought they were very interesting to get along with.

Perhaps it was because of the two or three hundred years of time that they felt the distance between each other. They were no longer like masters and apprentices when they got along in private, but more like peers. To put it bluntly, not to mention masters and apprentices who were two or three hundred years old, even fathers and sons who were 100 years old and eighty years old could often have equal dialogue.

It's just two old men.

While putting away the teacup, the deputy sect leader said to Chen Shu: "He has a very straightforward personality, and I teach him how to play chess, and I always guess it through my mind.

"If you talk to him, don't pay so much attention. He studies magic all day long, and he has no airs or likes twists and turns... Besides, he doesn't have many years to live. What are you afraid of when you are young?"

The first half is fine, but the second half is true. Chen Shu doesn’t know how to answer it.

"Last night I had connected the spiritual sea with the outside world, but it only lasted for two seconds. The connection was unstable, unable to expose spiritual power, nor could it appear as a spiritual body. And that time, I could never succeed again."

"No hurry, it's the New Year, come and I'll teach you how to play chess."

The deputy sect leader set up a chess cup again.

Chen Shu sat down opposite him.

"Wang~"

Taozi was back at his feet at some point.

The deputy sect leader lowered his head and glanced: "Is this what you raised?"

"almost."

"Spirit cat?"

"How did you see it?"

"The spiritual power on it is very special, like a demon from Dongzhou." The deputy sect leader paused, lowered his head and looked at Taozi, with a soft look. "I have also raised a spiritual cat before, and their eyes are very different from normal cats. People who have raised it can tell at a glance."

"Where is that spirit cat?"

"I have transformed myself. I have stayed on this mountain for too long and have transformed myself naturally." said the deputy leader, "and I was sent to Dongzhou."

"Send it away?"

Chen Shu was a little surprised.

Although Dongzhou and other countries have extradition treaties, it is still easy to keep a little demon as the deputy sect leader.

Even from the formal procedures, it is easy. Just send it to Dongzhou, obtain legal status, and then let it go abroad to study abroad. As long as it is voluntary, the procedures are easy to handle. After all, the demons in Dongzhou only rarely go abroad and are not prohibited from going abroad.

The deputy sect leader saw his doubts and smiled: "This is the same as his children. When they grow up, some of them are willing to stay with their parents, so they stay. Some hope to have their own world, so let's go out and explore."

"I see."

"Wang~"

Taozi jumped on Chen Shu's legs, stepped on his legs with his back foot, and his front paws were swaying on the stone table, his eyes were round, and he aimed at the chessboard.

"This cat's meow is quite interesting."

"Many cats call like this." Chen Shu smiled and rubbed Taozi's head.

"My cat didn't meow before."

"What do you call it?"

“Ahhhh.”

"It will also call that." Chen Shu looked down at Taozi, "Come on, ah."

“Ah~”
