Volume 4: A New Era Chapter 486: Bad Chess Player and Green Plum Wine
Basically, all the major forces in the alien world in this country have received the gold-stamped invitations sent by the five hidden clans, and their Xigu Pavilion is naturally no exception...
What Rubao was curious about was, was it necessary for the owner of Jianghu Inn to make a personal trip for such a matter?
"Haha, to be honest..."
Mu You leaned his head slightly closer and whispered, "I heard something. One of the two heroes, Ding Shimaan, had a good relationship with the leader of our Xigu Pavilion. But Ding Shimaan disappeared inexplicably during this period..."
At this point, Mu You couldn't help but look at the leopard with burning eyes, "I just don't know where this Ding Haojie is hiding now."
Click!
Rubao's heart sank suddenly. It was unexpected that Jianghu Xiaozhan could detect such a thing. Otherwise, it must be said that none of the people who could become the Ninth Lord were good people.
Indeed, Ding Shimaan was in the Xigu Pavilion at this time.
During this period, the situation in the world of extraordinary people changed rapidly, and it was not easy for them in Quanxing to survive. Many famous people in Quanxing, such as Xia Liuqing and Mei Jinfeng, went into hiding.
They have to hide, because the situation now is different from the time when the dragon and tiger were fighting. The people in the alien world are now restless and aggressive, and if they are not careful, these people with all their natures will be reduced to other people's experience points.
Because of this, Na Rubao saw an opportunity, an opportunity to strengthen the Xigu Pavilion...
Therefore, Na Rubao did not hesitate to risk being criticized and invited Ding Shimaan to Xigu Pavilion in the name of Na Ruhu and persuaded him to stay.
If Mu You hadn't come personally, no one would know that there were two heroes in Xigu Pavilion.
However, Na Rubao, as a veteran of the martial arts world for many years, even though he was a little flustered in his heart, his face remained calm and he said, "As expected of a martial arts inn, you really have eyes and ears everywhere. However, Shopkeeper Mu may have misunderstood. My brother and Ding Shian are quite close friends. Now that the circle is in turmoil, my brother is also worried about Ding Shian's safety, so he invited this hero to come and have a chat."
"But, as the Nine Lords, you are protecting Quan Xing..."
Mu You touched his chin and said in a deep voice: "It would be a bit unreasonable if this gets out."
"Isn't that unacceptable?"
Na Rubao waved his hand, poured more tea for Mu You and said, "Shopkeeper Mu, what you said is not right. It is reasonable for a citizen to make friends with other citizens without violating public order and good customs."
"Although the situation is chaotic now, it has not yet reached the point it was back then, so it is not necessary to exaggerate..."
Na Rubao smiled and lit a cigar, saying, "Manager Mu, there is no need for this kind of temptation. Please explain your purpose."
"joint!"
Mu You said in a deep voice: "It's not just Xiaozhan, there's also Shuzimen. I think Mr. Bao also knows about the four families getting back together."
"Of course, but what I didn't expect was that Shopkeeper Mu had the intention of banding together for warmth."
Na Rubao put the cigar into the ashtray and extinguished it. "Well, does Master Chen agree to this?"
"Of course it is, otherwise why would I be the bridge builder?"
Mu You smiled and said, "I just don't know that Pavilion Master..."
"Wait a moment! I'll go call my brother..."
Na Rubao stood up, apologized, and turned to walk towards the attic.
At this time, in the attic, two big men were sitting cross-legged facing each other playing chess .
One of them had a buzz cut and a red mole between his eyebrows. He looked conceited and distressed, with one hand touching his chin, staring at the chessboard...
"ah……"
Suddenly, the man scratched his head and said, "I say, Lao Na, I usually see you as a big and strong man, but I didn't expect you to be so good at chess!"
The tall man sitting opposite him was sitting in front of the chessboard with a straight face. After hearing what the man said, he said, "I have always been good at chess, but I didn't expect that Ding Shimaan, who is good at Baccarat, is actually a bad chess player."
"Hey, hey, hey!"
Ding Shimaan said dissatisfiedly: "Mr. Na, could you please stop being so serious and insulting to others all the time?"
"Isn't it?"
"Nonsense, although I learned a hundred arts, that is martial arts, not chess!"
Ding Shimaan retorted, but his expression quickly changed and he said in a deep voice: "Do you feel it?"
"Um!"
Then Ruhu solemnly picked up the "chariot" and ate Ding Shiman's "Xiang" directly, "General!"
"Um?"
Ding Shimaan's eyes widened as he looked at the tragedy on the chessboard and said weakly, "Damn, I lost again..."
"but……"
Ding Shian said calmly : "The owner of Jianghu Inn has come here in person, so it must be something serious."
"Maybe..."
Na Ruhu set up the chessboard again and said as he did so: "Maybe it's something about the Heroes' Gathering."
"A gathering of heroes? Isn't the gathering of heroes for those under thirty years old?"
Ding Shimaan thought thoughtfully: "It has nothing to do with us, right?"
Lao Ding is forty years old this year, and Ru Hu is already forty-two. Both of them have long been classified as middle-aged people.
"It shouldn't just be about the Heroes' Gathering."
This time it was Na Ruhu's turn to hold the red chess piece. Na Ruhu picked up the "cannon" chess piece on the left and placed it two squares in front of the "king". He said, "During this period, all the prominent forces have been forming alliances. I'm afraid that the shopkeeper Mu You came here this time to discuss the possibility of forming an alliance with me."
"Form an alliance..."
Ding Shima nodded, flew the "Knight" chess piece to the side of the "Cannon", and continued: "So what are you going to do? Although your brother Na Rubao is in charge of all matters of the sect, you are the final decision maker of this Xigu Pavilion."
"Promise, why not!"
After the tiger-like general took a step forward, he glanced at the side and said calmly: "The four families and five clans are all powerful forces. In order to avoid a recurrence of what happened in the past, it is still very important to form an alliance."
"Really? I thought that after your Xigu Pavilion annexed the Qiuzhen Society, it would become a separate force."
Ding Shimaan said thoughtfully: "For this, your brother tricked me into coming here as well."
"Are you kidding me?"
The corner of Ruhu's mouth rose up imperceptibly, "Don't you have no place to hide and have to hide here with me?"
"Are you kidding me? I need to hide?"
Ding Shian looked at Ruhu and said unhappily. However, after staring at Ruhu for a long time, Ding Shian finally couldn't hold it anymore and sighed and said, "Alas, it is true. I wanted to find a place to practice meditation, but there are too many flies outside."
After seeing Ding Shimaan admit it, Na Ruhu took a bowl of sake from the hot stove beside him and handed it to Ding Shimaan, saying, "Try it, this is wine soaked in green plums."
"Wow! I didn't expect you could make wine?"
Ding Shimaan was not polite. After taking the drink, he said, "Your brother is here. I think he is probably going to ask you if you want to form an alliance with them..."
