Chapter 378 (1/2)
Li Yan didn't show regret for taking the cloth chess because the old man ate his car. He continued to play chess with the old man with his indifferent expression.
After a while, Duanmu suddenly asked, ”what must have happened to you these two days because you are so angry?”
Li Yan drooped his eyelids and looked at the chessboard. In a cold tone, he told him about his going to the temple last night.
After hearing this, the old man did not change his face. After making a move, he said, ”it seems that the rumor is true. This time so many people go to the northwest, it's normal for someone to want you to go too.
You have a lot of money, and the Yanhuang industry is very extensive. If you go there, you will certainly prepare a lot of materials that they can't prepare. After you go in, you will have a better chance of winning. ”
Listen to the analysis of the old man, Liyan did not lift his eyes, still drooping eyelids, like thinking about how to go next step.
After taking a step, he said, ”there were a lot of people there last night.”
”Oh, who are they?”
”The Qin family, the Lu family... And the Duanmu family.”
Li Yan finish saying this words, raised an eye to look to the old man finally.
The old man looked back at him with his wise eyes full of years of precipitation. After putting down the chess pieces in his hand, he said to the guards standing beside him: ”Xiao Huang, go and call the old man over.”
”Yes.”
The two continued to play chess.
Duanmu followed the guards in more than ten minutes later.
”Father, what can I do for you?”
”I heard that our Duanmu family went to Fangqing temple outside the city last night?”
Hearing this, Duanmu was stunned, and then asked: ”there was a temple fair in Shangqing Temple yesterday. Several women did go there to burn incense, but they came back at three o'clock in the afternoon. I don't know what their father asked about this?”
After asking this, he looked at Li Yan who was sitting there and asked with concern: ”did Mr. Li go to Shangqing city yesterday, and what else happened?”
”No After Li Yan answers, ate one of the old man's chessmen again.
The old man looked at the chess piece that had been eaten, took a chess piece and thought about where to go. At the same time, he asked Duanmu, ”Li boy said that recently many people are going to the northwest to go to the ancient tomb that has been determined?”
”Yes, father.” Duanmu then took another look at Liyan, as if he was thinking about saying this in front of Liyan.
Duanmu took a look at him.
Duanmu said with a little distress: ”some time ago, the archaeological team planned to go there. I didn't expect that the news was spread by anyone. Now many people in the society know it.”
The old man looked sharp: ”that tomb is a national site, why not issue a stop order?”
”This is my son's negligence. I should have issued this order at the first time. Later, the archaeological team said that it was not sure that it was the legendary tomb.”
”In this case, we should send more people to stop it. If the structure inside the national site is destroyed by those people, it will be a great loss for our empire to study ancient literature.”
”All right, father, I'll send more people to stop those people.”
Duanmu said and left.
Duanmu said to Li Yan with a smile: ”fortunately, Li boy, you have come to remind me that the ancient tomb has high value in studying ancient culture. If it is destroyed by those grave robbers, it will be a great loss to our empire.”
Li Yan continued to play chess. After finishing the next move, he said, ”the people of the Qin family have gone too.”
Duanmu was about to put a piece of chess in the middle of the road. He frowned and finally flashed a trace of anger on his face.
After a while, he said: ”it seems that we are too kind to the Qin family.”
After playing a game of chess for nearly an hour, Li Yan finally won.
Duanmu said with a smile: ”you didn't like to talk when you were playing chess. I said how you always talked to me today. It turned out that you wanted to divert my attention and let me lose.”
”Not really.” Li Yan looked at the old man and said, ”it doesn't affect me much if I don't talk to you.”
When Duanmu heard this, he burst out laughing.
”Even if you marry a daughter-in-law, you still don't have much humanity.”
Li Yan didn't take this.
Duanmu's words changed and he asked casually: ”if one day I ask you to do something you don't want to do for me, will you promise to do it for me?”
Li Yan with that pair of indifferent eyes staring at him, indifferent said: ”will not.”
When Duanmu heard this, he said with a smile instead of anger, ”sure enough, you are still you... I remember when I saved you, you said that as long as you survive, you will pay me back. You have done it. If it wasn't for the list you gave me, I would be buried now.”
Speaking of this, he suddenly sighed: ”unfortunately, I can only live half a year longer. Once I know that I don't have much time, I feel that I don't have enough time. I really want to live to be 100 years old.”
Li Yan still stares at him. After a while, he says, ”I said that I will give you a life. Since your wish is to live to 100 years old, I will try to make you live to that time.
But next time other people in Duanmu's family want to try me out through Lolo, or have Lolo's idea, don't blame me for turning my back. ”
With these words, he stood up and walked towards the door.
