After eavesdropping on my thoughts, my whole family changed their fate

Jin Yuanyuan paused and turned back to look at him teasingly.

"You didn't believe we could escape, so now you want us to save you?"

Qian Shisi had no idea what shame was and begged in a whining manner.

"Before, I was blind and heartless. I didn't recognize the real hero. Since ancient times, heroes have emerged from young boys and girls. Heroes, please save me too!"

Although this is good, he doesn't want to stay here for the rest of his life. His dead father won't care whether he lives or dies, so he can only save himself.

After being praised, the four men couldn't stand it anymore and opened Qian Shisi's lock and took him along.

As for the other hostages, I can only feel sorry for them. How can we be fair to everyone in this world?

If they escaped with a large group of people, they would be discovered before they could escape.

The five of them bent over and groped their way out.

The dark and windy night was a good time to escape. When he was only one step away from the door, a low and deep male voice came into his ears.

"Where are you guys going?"

The five people's backs were stiff, and they turned around to meet the man's sharp eyes.

Jin Yuanyuan remembered that he was one of the people who kidnapped them, and he was the one who held a dagger against her neck.

When Qian Shisi saw that it was him, he knew he couldn't escape, so he nodded and bowed to please him.

"Yes, Boss. We just came out for a walk. The food tonight was so good that we ate too much. Hahaha."

Sun Hu stroked the sharp blade with his fingers and looked at them with interest, as if he was looking at prey that was under his control. He was in no hurry to eat it, but teased it slowly.

"Really? It seems like you guys are trying to run away."

He was tall, with a serious face, and he exuded such a strong pressure that the five people subconsciously waved their hands.

"No, no, no."

Sun Hu held a knife across the exit and said, "Let's go back to the dungeon!"

He personally escorted the five people back to the prison. Jin Yuanyuan walked back reluctantly. She winked at Chen Jiuchuan, who was closest to Sun Hu.

Xiao Jiu understood and took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve. Just as he was about to open it and throw it towards Sun Hu, Sun Hu grabbed his hand and the porcelain bottle fell to the ground.

"Don't play tricks on me. I've been a bandit for more years than you've eaten meals. Be honest or I'll chop off your claws!"

He waved his sword to scare them, but didn't really attack them. Jin Yuanyuan crossed his arms over his chest, looking very angry.

Sun Hu used a knife-wielding move to intimidate several people, and with a big move, a chess piece rolled off his body and landed right at Jin Yuanyuan's feet.

She picked it up, touched the chess piece, and took it to a place with light to take a look. The black chess piece shone emerald green, and her pupils dilated.

"It's Yunzi, how rare."

Those who use Yunzi are all knowledgeable about chess. It seems that this bandit leader also likes to play chess.

Hearing her words, Sun Hu lowered his head in surprise and looked at the little guy.

"I can't believe you recognize Yunzi."

Jin Yuanyuan clenched the black chess piece in her hand and looked at him with sparkling eyes.

"Not only do I recognize Yunzi, I can also play chess."

"Oh." Sun Hu didn't take it to heart and pushed them to continue walking towards the dungeon.

Gu An, who had always been proud of his sister, couldn't help but say something to him when he saw his contemptuous look.

"What are you talking about? My sister is extremely good at playing chess. She is Jin Yuanyuan. Even the top chess masters of Tianyuan Country cannot beat her."

Black Wind Mountain is some distance away from Kyoto. In ancient times, communications were not well developed, and the news that Jin Yuanyuan was the number one in chess had not yet spread.

Sun Hu knew about the existence of Wanguoqi, but because of his identity as a bandit, he didn't pay much attention to Kyoto. They were all officials, and he would only stare at them because he had nothing better to do.

This time he risked his life to go to Kyoto to kidnap someone because he really had no other choice.

Hearing Gu An's words, he sneered, "She is so young, and she brags without thinking. How old is she? She is not even as tall as me. How can she know how to play chess?"

Jin Yuanyuan originally wanted to establish a friendly relationship by exchanging chess skills, but when she saw that he looked down on her, she instantly got furious.

"Do you dare to play a game with me?"

Sun Hu flatly refused, "No, I don't want to bully a kid."

If she cried, he wouldn't bother with her since he had no experience in coaxing girls.

He Linyuan, who seldom spoke, said something that made Sun Hu change his mind.

"If you don't dare to play, then don't dare. When we get out, we will spread the word that the leader of the Black Wind Village doesn't even dare to play chess with a child."

Sun Hu paused and sneered, "Go ahead, do you think I was scared? Let's play chess!"

Take them to your room, where there is an unfinished chess game.

His younger brother was the only one in the village who knew how to play chess. After watching for a long time, he also learned it.

Now that his brother is sick, he plays chess alone. He is lonely and bored, so he plays chess in the middle of the night, and that's when he happens to catch them.

Qian Shisi was a little worried and complained to He Linyuan in a low voice.

"Can she do it? What if she loses?"

He Linyuan said nothing and moved away from him.

Jin Yuanyuan sat down opposite Sun Hu, and Gu An helped separate the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard.

The room was bright, and the two sat opposite each other.

Seeing Jin Yuanyuan's eyes, Sun Hu was stunned for a moment.

Although she was very young, when facing a bandit leader, there was no panic or fear in her eyes. Instead, she was confident and calm.

He actually saw the calmness in a half-grown child, and it was a girl.

"interesting."

He was actually looking forward to this game of chess.

Seeing that he was staring at her, Jin Yuanyuan looked over and said, "Stop making trouble and get off the bed."

One of them played white and the other played black. Before the game was halfway through, beads of sweat the size of beans had already appeared on Sun Hu's forehead. It was obvious that he was struggling.

Even Gu An and Chen Jiuchuan could see that he was bound to lose, as Sun Hu's black pieces were constantly being eaten by Jin Yuanyuan's white pieces.

But he just wouldn't give up and persisted until the very last moment, not using his status as a threat to regret his move.

A person's character in chess is like his personality. Jin Yuanyuan can feel that he is a person who will never back down once he has a goal.

If this kind of person had taken the right path, he would have definitely achieved great things, but unfortunately he is a bandit.

At the very last moment, the black pieces were completely destroyed and had no power to fight back.

He stared at the chessboard for a long while, and suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahahahaha! Okay, okay! I haven't had such a good time in a long time."

He suddenly laughed so hard with so much energy that Jin Yuanyuan was scared so much that she fell off the stool.

"Oh my god, you're so scary. What's so funny about losing?"

There was always a gloom in Chen Hu's eyes. After today's game of chess, he thought of someone.

He looked into Jin Yuanyuan's eyes, which were no longer cold and distant, but seemed like they were from another world.

"Playing chess with you reminds me of someone, my younger brother, Sun Wen. He also likes to play chess, but I can never beat him. Today, I seem to see the shadow of my younger brother in you."

"It's just that your chess skills are much better than his. If I play against him, I still have a chance of winning. If I play against you, I'm doomed to lose from the beginning."

Jin Yuanyuan looked at him. There was a hint of sadness in his eyes, which was a bit different from the typical image of a bandit leader.

"If you knew you were going to lose, why did you insist on finishing it?"

"Because I will never admit defeat until the last moment. I will try my best to make it to the end. Even if I die, at least I have tried my best. If I give up without even trying, then what's the difference between me and a coward."

Jin Yuanyuan was shocked. Everyone can be cowardly, she had been one too. Sun Hu's courage to move forward was not common. It would be great if he was not a bandit.

He Linyuan grasped the key point, "Where is your brother now?"
