Chapter 22 A Terrible Player, Off-the-Spot Tactics
Looking at the three people sitting upright on the opposite side of the chessboard, Lu Jinghe thought for a moment and decided to change the location of the game.
Lu Jinghe stood up, and the three people opposite him also stood up when they saw him, asking, "What are you going to do?"
"Let's get off somewhere else, at my place," Lu Jinghe said. "Do I look like someone who carries a string of cash with me at all times?"
"It doesn't look like it."
"That's settled then. Let's go to my house. The yard is big enough for the four of us to have a good chess match."
Lu Jinghe emphasized the word "chess skill" a bit, but unfortunately the three people opposite him didn't realize it and thought it was just a normal game of chess.
"Lu Jinghe, is your home far from here?"
"If it's not far, let's hurry up and go."
Lu Jinghe glanced at Cheng Chumo and asked, "So eager to play a game of chess with me?"
This guy is the worst; Lu Jinghe just played against him the longest and found it quite interesting.
How could there be such an outrageously bad chess player?
"Afraid of losing?" Cheng Chumo chuckled and said, "With the three of us brothers working together, you definitely won't be able to hold onto this string of cash today."
"You can try it and see how you win. Don't even mention three of you, even if you call all your friends, you still can't beat me."
Lu Jinghe was starting to have doubts; he couldn't quite figure out these three guys.
Just now, he sensed that these three men wanted to take the money back, but now, looking into their clear eyes…
What were those three thinking?
He had clearly hinted at taking action, but these three didn't understand?
No way, that's so stupid.
Lu Jinghe walked slowly ahead, no longer thinking about it.
Who cares what we do? We'll deal with whatever comes our way.
If you really push him too far, who would dare to act recklessly once he unleashes his Thunder Magic?
Cheng Chumo and the other two followed for quite a while, watching Lu Jinghe turn left and right, and said with delight, "Lu Jinghe, your house is really out of the way."
Lu Jinghe glanced at it and thought that being a little off-center was fine.
Once the door is closed, if those three try to rob us, we'll give them a good beating and then throw them back into their house.
"Brother Lu, are you not here yet?" After a while, Yu Chi Baolin couldn't wait any longer and quickly walked to Lu Jinghe's side and called out.
"It'll be here soon, what's the rush?"
Lu Jinghe was unhurried; he even took a detour, since he had nothing better to do anyway.
"You're not planning to stall for time and run away, are you?" Qin Huaidao frowned.
They can't just stall and run away; they're counting on using the winnings to visit brothels.
As he spoke, Qin Huaidao came to Lu Jinghe's left, and Cheng Chumo still obediently followed behind him.
Lu Jinghe chuckled and said, "How could that be? I still want to win those fifteen coins from you."
"We'll definitely win a whole string of cash from you." Cheng Chumo glanced at his two good brothers and silently followed behind Lu Jinghe.
They were surrounded and had nowhere to escape.
Lu Jinghe chuckled and said, "Why are you all standing so close, just like the left and right protectors?"
Qin Huaidao and Yuchi Baolin's faces darkened and they remained silent. They couldn't very well say that they were afraid you would run away and were a little worried, could they?
If people knew that these three princes were working so hard for a single coin, their father would probably hang them up and beat them.
"Alright, that little courtyard in front is my home."
Lu Jinghe walked for a while, then pointed to the courtyard gate ahead and said, "This is it. You don't need to surround me anymore, right?"
"Don't worry, I won't run away." Lu Jinghe walked to the door and pushed it open.
The courtyard was very tidy, and Lu Jinghe invited the three of them in.
As soon as the three entered the courtyard, they were attracted by the scenery. Although it was simple, it had a very comfortable feel to it.
While the three were engrossed in the scenery of the courtyard, Lu Jinghe bolted the door and cast a spell to reinforce it.
It can be said that the gate of this small courtyard is even more sturdy than the city gate of Chang'an.
Even if you gave these three kids eight hundred years, they still wouldn't be able to break through it.
As for turning it over? Do you think it's just for show?
Lu Jinghe walked into the courtyard with a smile, went to the stone table in the center, set up a chessboard, and raised his hand, saying:
"Come on, let's play chess."
The three men exchanged glances, pooled their money, and placed fifteen coins on the chessboard.
Lu Jinghe said calmly, "You guys should go down first."
After a while, Lu Jinghe looked up at the three people sitting upright and asked, "Why aren't you getting off?"
"Why don't you go and get the money? As a wager, it should be fair; you should leave the money on the chessboard."
Lu Jinghe was taken aback, then thought about it and laughed, "That's right, it was my oversight."
Lu Jinghe returned to his room while sipping a tune. As soon as he entered, he noticed that the blankets had been folded and the room was very clean.
He didn't go back to his room when he left this morning.
Since Gao Yang and Qing Wu lived here, he didn't go in.
I never expected that this little princess would clean his room so thoroughly. What was she thinking?
Lu Jinghe was in a good mood, thinking that if these three people really tried to rob him of his money later, he would beat them up gently.
Lu Jinghe opened the drawer, took out a string of cash, and slowly walked into the courtyard.
Lu Jinghe placed the money on the table and gestured, saying, "Please."
"Click!"
Cheng Chumo made his move, and Lu Jinghe was completely dumbfounded.
He knew these three were terrible chess players, but he didn't expect them to be this bad. In the opening move, he directly exchanged his cannon for one of their horses!
Lu Jinghe looked up at the three men opposite him who were nodding in satisfaction, and listened to them muttering to themselves, "That's right, the chess strategy that the three of us brothers came up with is much better than that chess manual."
"That's right, that's right! Chess manuals are all static; they can't compare to the flexibility we've developed. Look at this, we've captured a knight with the first move!"
Lu Jinghe studied the chessboard for a long time, then moved his rook and captured the cannon that had jumped over.
If he's not mistaken, he's lost his other horse too.
"eat!"
Cheng Chumo roared and immediately replaced Lu Jinghe's horse.
Lu Jinghe silently moved the car and took Cheng Chumo's shot.
Then, Lu Jinghe began to exert his strength.
Playing chess with these three terrible chess players is so boring; it's better to play with the old man on the street.
Soon, Lu Jinghe had killed so many that only the general and the soldier remained.
The rest of the pieces were captured.
"General," Lu Jinghe said calmly.
After saying that, Lu Jinghe began to tidy up the chessboard and casually put the fifteen coins that the three people had left on the table into his pocket.
"Snapped!"
Cheng Chumo slammed his hand on the stone table, but Lu Jinghe pulled his hand back too quickly, and he missed.
At the same time, he also put away the cash that Lu Jinghe had.
Lu Jinghe smiled and said, "Brother Cheng, what do you mean by this?"
He was worried that Little Sizi wouldn't have a place to stay, so it would be perfect to capture these three men to work as laborers.
He is strong and healthy.
Be gentle with your blows later.
"Young Master Lu, a wise man knows when to yield. Let me give you some advice: our money isn't so easy to take."
"Now I'm giving you two choices: one, you return the money we lost."
"Second, we'll beat you up and take your card, and that'll be considered a win for us."
"Haha, Brother Cheng, you're really funny." Lu Jinghe chuckled, walked to the center of the courtyard, and beckoned with his hand, "I choose three, I'll beat you all up."
