Rebirth of the Great Power

"Ah?" Tian Yuan looked puzzled.

The drumbeat and the sound of the piano suddenly both stopped, and the originally quiet lobby immediately became noisy.Before Tian Yuan could react, he felt something flying in front of him, and subconsciously reached out to catch it.

The palm of my hand hurt, only to realize that what I caught was a drumstick. The hollow mallet was tied with layers of ribbons, and when it fell in my hand, it was able to cushion a little force when it hit my body.

Yan Yu patted Tian Yuan on the shoulder excitedly: "Brother Tian Yuan, yes!"

Tian Yuan laughed foolishly twice, still in a daze.

Just as he was about to ask Yan Yu what was going on, someone beside him said, "Little brother, how about selling this drumstick to me? I'll give you 100 taels of silver."

Tian Yuan looked at the small gavel in his hand, then at the man, recalling what Yan Yu said before, he seemed to understand something.

Just as he was about to refuse, another person next to him sneered and said, "It's a shame to ask for a mere 100 taels. Little brother, I'll offer 200 taels, sell it to me."

The person who had just opened his mouth froze, and raised the price: "I'll pay 250 taels."

"I am out..."

"Brothers," Yan Yu stood up and cupped his fists, "I'm sorry, we use this drumstick for our own use, not for sale."

Only then did the two rest, and turned to look for the other two lucky ones who received the drumsticks.

Tian Yuan held up the gavel and asked, "This is the 'lucky' that Junior Brother Yu mentioned?"

"Exactly."

He pointed to the two groups of people who were bargaining in the distance: "Then, is it a chance if the money is enough?"

"good."

Tian Yuan explored the stage, at this moment the musicians and dancers had already left, and were setting up three chess tables, which were separated by a screen.

"This is, is the master ready to appear? I don't know what he looks like." Tian Yuan asked.

"What is Senior Brother Tian Yuan talking about? Didn't he just show up?" Yan Yu said.

"I just saw beauties, how can there be a master?"

"A beauty is a master, and a master is a beauty. Otherwise, why bother to be in this white alley, and why let the rich in the capital flock to it." Yan Yu laughed, "Didn't I just say that?"

"Junior Brother Yu didn't say that just now." Tian Yuan said with resentment.

Yan Yu laughed, he thought he had hinted very clearly, but he really didn't say it clearly, who would have expected that the little senior brother would be so straightforward and cute, so he made a gesture and coaxed: "It's the junior brother's fault, I also ask my brother to forgive me."

Tian Yuan hurriedly jumped away, not daring to accept his gift, and with embarrassment on his face, he waved his hands and said: "No, no, I didn't understand it myself, so I don't blame you. You can understand the teacher, right, teacher?"

Mu Yuan just smiled and said nothing, he naturally understood it long ago, and he was even more pleased that the two young people got along so well.Tian Yuan is simple and straightforward, Yan Yu is lively, both of them are pure-minded people, although they have only known each other for a few days and their temperaments are different, they can have such a good relationship.

Tian Yuan didn't really want Mu Yuan's answer, but seeing the teacher smiled and said nothing, he changed the subject: "Then those two girls just now, which one is the master?"

"It's the dancer in the crimson dress, Miss Luyi. She is both excellent at dancing and chess, and her chess skills are even better than that of dancing. Three years ago, the twenty-eight-year-old girl Luyi turned out to be a dancer. Everyone said that Baiyulou, which had been dormant for many years, was about to produce a top dancer. The next day, Baiyulou set up a ring, inviting chess masters from all over the world to play against each other, and the winner would be rewarded with a thousand gold. After defeating dozens of masters in Beijing, even the current chess masters, several of them were beheaded under the chessboard. In this way, the reputation of Miss Luyi was unparalleled for a while. At the time when the sun was at its peak, Baiyulou withdrew from the ring. Set the rules, one day of every month, Baiyulou will hold a hall meeting, and all participants will have the opportunity to be selected to play chess with Miss Luyi. The winner will still get a thousand gold, or spend a day with Miss Luyi. There are masters, and there are beauties In the past three years, except for the three rounds on the first day of each month, there were occasional people who asked for a lot of money. Miss Luyi has fought countless rounds and has never been defeated. The number one female chess player in Qi, Baiyulou has also become the number one building in the capital."

Tian Yuan nodded: "Oh, so that's how it is." He said and looked at the small gavel in his hand, "It's quite interesting to come out like this every month."

Yan Yu took the gavel with a smile: "This is another brilliant place of Baiyulou. Even the competition for the third on the first day of each month is full of tricks, and today's giving of the gavel is just one of them. Sometimes it will be given to everyone. The guests who entered the venue were numbered and decided by lottery; sometimes each person drew a line of poems, and the one that could be matched with Miss Luyi's hand was the one; sometimes it was a pair; there was even a treasure hunt in the building... There are many kinds. Some people come here every month, neither to see the beauties nor to play chess, but just to see what kind of tricks this time. In the popularity list, every month people open the market to bet on what will happen next. Today's mallet throwing is one of the most popular ones, and girl Gain Luyi's dancing skills are also superb, and now it is even more difficult to see than playing chess. Today we were lucky."

When Mu Yuan heard this, he couldn't help but sigh that the one who planned all this is really a marketing expert.Most people in this world are chasing nothing more than fame, fortune, and beauty. With a little curiosity and a little bit of competitive spirit, they can almost benefit everywhere.

It's just that the foundation of all this is based on absolute strength, just like the most important foundation of a tall building.If that girl from Luyi cannot maintain her invincible myth, then everything that follows, even if it will not be overthrown immediately, will be in jeopardy.What kind of pressure does this girl Luyi, who is burdened with such a heavy burden, bear, and how does she forge ahead under this heavy pressure?

Mu Yuan took the gavel from Yan Yu and couldn't help but look forward to the next game.

"Who is that girl in green just now? She plays the piano really well, and she looks really pretty. Of course, girl Luyi is prettier." Tian Yuan asked curiously again.

"Hey, Senior Brother Tian Yuan is young, so he already knows whether the girl's house is beautiful or not?" Yan Yu joked.

"Isn't it true that everyone has a love for beauty?" Tian Yuan poked his neck, but couldn't help but blushed, "Good-looking is good-looking, and it has nothing to do with age."

"Yes, yes, brother taught you well." Yan Yu smiled and said, "The one in green is Miss Hong Ling. She and Miss Luyi are good at piano and dance; one is gentle, the other is strong, and the other is affectionate. The same sisters, known as the "Shuangshu of Yulou". In addition to her high piano skills and good looks, the Hongling girl is also known as Cheng Zhiyuan's only confidante. Let Cheng Daizhao Jinwu hide her beauty."

"The girl in green is called Hong Ling, and the girl in scarlet is called Lu Yi... Isn't the name reversed?" Tian Yuan's focus was obviously misplaced.

"Who says it's not?" Yan Yu laughed, "The names of the two and their favorite colors are often talked about by those who know them, but these two sisters still go their own way, and it has become one of the strange stories in Beijing. "

At this moment, it was decided who would get the other two gavels, and the two who had snatched the gavels at first were happily stuffing the silver bills they had received into their sleeve pockets.

This time, without waiting for Tian Yuan to ask questions, Yan Yu first explained: "It is not forbidden for people to buy and sell tokens privately in the building. Anyway, in the end, as long as you hold the tokens, you can participate in the game. Therefore, some people come here, but it is just a matter of luck. Boda. Most of the time, the transaction price is around 500 taels, sometimes as many as 800 taels, and almost no one exceeds this number. After all, it only takes a hundred gold to ask for one round alone, instead of three rounds at the same time as today Down."

"Three rounds at the same time? Miss Luyi playing three rounds at the same time?"

"Exactly."

Mu Yuan thought to himself, isn't this just increasing the difficulty? Is this girl Luyi really super strong or does she have other secrets?

While thinking about it, everything was ready, the manager invited three guests who had received the tokens on the stage, and Mu Yuan walked up to the stage holding a gavel.

The other two sons who got the gavel, one was dressed in silk, had a lackluster appearance, the corners of his mouth were a little crooked, and claimed to be surnamed Sun; The appearance of Lou Chu Pavilion.

The three of them made their appearance in front of the stage, announced their family names, and a handicap opened in the building, but there were not many people who bet.Firstly, Miss Luyi has never lost a record, so naturally there is no odds, including the handling fee, winning is also a loss; secondly, the three people on this stage are unheard of, and they don't look like they are very capable, even if they like to be upset People in the market have no interest in betting.

After being introduced into the screen, I saw the girl Luyi sitting behind the three chess table, still in scarlet clothes, with a scorpion head and crescent eyebrows, and it was even more gorgeous when viewed up close.Mu Yuan only had a flash of amazement when he first came into his eyes, and soon he recovered his usual color and calmed down; Mr. Chen looked at it twice, and then lowered his head with a flushed face, not daring to look again; only the one surnamed Sun looked straight at him. A pair of squinted eyes, saliva almost dripped down.

Lu Yi seemed to have gotten used to all kinds of gazes, she got up gracefully, blessed her, sat down again, stretched her right hand forward slightly.

"Three sons, please choose your own chessboard. According to the old rules, Luyi will hold the white first."

The seats were set up on the chessboard, and the black chess boxes were placed on the right sides of the three of them.

According to where the three of them came in, Mr. Chen chose the right, the one surnamed Sun was on the left, and Mu Yuan was naturally in the middle.

The person surnamed Sun didn't sit down after approaching the chessboard, but leaned forward and wanted to pull Luyi's slightly outstretched hand, without saying anything: "Girl Luyi really deserves her reputation, she has a beautiful voice and a sweet voice, and she is better than the one in the rumors." She looks even better. As expected of the number one beauty in Kyoto, she makes half of her body crumble at a glance..."

Lu Yi quickly withdrew her hand, not letting him touch it, a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes, her face was still decent, and she said calmly: "Mr. Sun, please take a seat."

When the three of them reported their home earlier, Luyi didn't see it behind the screen, and presumably they guessed who it was from their voices.
