Chapter 1321: Joining the Game
In the afternoon of the next day, the rain stopped and only the cool sea breeze blew.
Ye Tianlong and Kong Zixiong took the time to go to Red Sun Square, which was an open-air singing place in the 1980s and covered an extremely wide area.
It's just that this square, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people, has been gradually forgotten by the people of Hong Kong City because it lacks a sense of modernity and has poor facilities.
Now it is used more as a football field, but today it has become a chess game.
The men sent by Kong Zixiong and Qi Ba drew a chess game approved by both parties before noon, and also checked the safety of various secret locations.
Each side sent a team to guard the entrance and exit, which could be regarded as supervising each other not to play tricks.
In today's chess game, except for the use of hot weapons, poisons and body armor, all cold weapons are allowed, so murderous intent flows.
The wind was so strong that Ye Tianlong had to touch his cheek.
In addition to the twenty brothers who guard the scene and monitor the situation, the number of people on both sides must not exceed twenty-five, and the number of referees and notaries is even more limited to twelve.
Therefore, only eighty-two people showed up in such a large square.
The decisive battle at four o'clock, when Ye Tianlong and Kong Zixiong appeared, the time pointed to half past three, and neither Qi Ba nor the invited notary arrived.
Ye Tianlong and Tian Mo were not anxious at all, but Kong Zixiong looked at Ye Tianlong who was wearing handsome clothes and couldn't help but frown:
"Master Ye, are you sure you are both a chess player and a chess piece?"
Kong Zixiong warned carefully: "This is a matter of life and death, and Qi Ba is also a general, and he clearly wants to deal with you."
"In the past few days in Hong Kong City, you have endured three fierce battles in a row, and your body has not fully recovered. It is best not to appear in person in this battle."
He didn't want Ye Tianlong to take risks: "Even if all the chess pieces are wiped out, as long as you beat him on the chessboard, the worst is a draw."
"Master Kong, I know you are worried, but I promise you that nothing will happen to me."
Ye Tianlong's eyes flashed with light: "Facing Qi Ba, I can't retreat, I can only fight, and fight to the death, otherwise more people will die."
If he avoids this battle, what will happen to the people behind him? I'm just afraid that Qi Ba will crush him to death one by one. The guy who lost his beloved son can do anything.
"Let me be a chess piece with you."
Seeing that he could not persuade Ye Tianlong, Kong Zixiong suddenly laughed: "In the battle on Shandao, you and I fought side by side, and you can't leave me behind this time."
"Master Kong, no!"
Ye Tianlong held Kong Zixiong's hand and shook his head gently: "You have to sit on the outside. Qi Ba's son is dead. Why don't you think clearly in your heart?"
"Even if I win this round, if I can't get strong protection, I won't be able to keep the fruits of victory."
He whispered: "A dog will jump over the wall in a hurry."
Hearing Ye Tianlong's words, Kong Zixiong was stunned, and then nodded in frustration: "What you said makes sense, but it's uncomfortable to watch you play alone."
"When will I go on stage alone?"
Ye Tianlong smiled: "Aren't there still fifteen people accompanying me?"
He has already seen Kong Zixiong's fifteen people. Not only are they all young, passionate, and fearless of death, but they also have 60% of the skills of Old Ghost Li.
He believed that this was enough to deal with Qi Ba's chess piece, which had just been a fierce battle with Zhuang Mingyan.
Kong Zixiong smiled bitterly: "You are really good at comforting yourself."
While the two were talking and laughing, Tian Mo and Di Kuangtian looked at each other calmly, exploring each other and remaining silent, as if they were also making a certain decision in their hearts.
At 3:40, another group of people walked in, and twelve notaries appeared one after another. Lin Rudao and Huo Zicai were all inside.
Lin Rudao was found by Ye Tianlong. He hoped that Lin Rudao would watch him avenge Zhuang Mingyan, while Huo Zicai was found by Qi Ba.
Ye Tianlong also saw the representative of the Guo family, Guo Taiming, and then several famous dignitaries from the port city. They had white hair and red faces and looked very prestigious.
For the safety of the Lin family, Ye Tianlong had told Lin Rudao about Zhuang Mingyan's violent death. Lin Rudao looked a little shaken, but still smiled:
"Ye Tianlong, are you here? Do your best today and obey fate. Don't force yourself. Living is the most important thing."
Ye Tianlong smiled slightly: "Uncle Lin, don't worry, I'm measured."
Lin Rudao smiled happily and said, "What a good boy."
Then he wheeled his wheelchair and came to the notary seat. After greeting a few acquaintances, he found a seat and closed his eyes to rest.
Before Ye Tianlong could take his eyes off Lin Rudao, Huo Zicai walked over, but his eyes flashed with malice and disgust.
"Ye Tianlong, you robbed my woman Ning Hongzhuang, attacked my client Park Xiaoxiu, and injured my brother not long ago. You are really capable."
He smiled and hummed: "I hope you can survive today, otherwise I will be very disappointed if I don't have to play in the future."
Ye Tianlong said casually: "Survive? Not only will I survive, but I will also live well. After all, I haven't married Hongzhuang and I haven't crippled your brother."
Huo Zicai's eyes turned cold: "You——"
"Master Huo, are you here to bear witness today, or are you here to settle a grudge?"
Kong Zixiong interrupted him directly: "If you are a witness, go to the witness group. If you want to resolve the grievances, it is simple. Let Qi Ba give you a chess uniform."
"Come on and challenge Mr. Ye."
Hearing these words, Huo Zicai's lips twitched, and then he snorted and returned to his seat, secretly hating in his heart: You will cry when you lose.
Huo Zicai originally didn't want to be in the same camp as Qi Ba, so as not to be ostracized by the Hong Kong circle, but he couldn't get away from the Pu family's gambling.
So Huo Zicai had to come over and see what happened to Ye Tianlong.
After Huo Zicai sat down, another old man from the south came over. He was about sixty years old, with a broken left arm and a metal one. He looked like a bad guy.
As he walked forward, he glanced at Ye Tianlong with a sharp look. Ye Tianlong knew without asking that he was probably from the Park family.
The twelve witnesses arrived soon, drinking the tea offered by both sides, and quietly waiting for the chess game to start.
The wind was a little cold, and there were still a few wisps of water vapor in the sky, but Qi Ba and the others had not arrived yet, and the time had already pointed to three fifty-seven.
Kong Zixiong's mouth curled up with a teasing: "Is Qi Ba afraid? Find an excuse not to come? Or fight another day?"
Ye Tianlong once guessed that the tiger was lured away from the mountain, but when he thought of the three women who were well protected, he calmed down a lot: "It's okay, there's still time."
Another minute passed quietly.
Although many people present pretended to be calm on the surface, they were a little anxious in their hearts. After all, everyone was eager to see this chess game.
Ye Tianlong did not move, not even his posture, but just looked at the entrance calmly.
"Woo--"
It was exactly four o'clock, and there was a sound of cars outside, and then footsteps sounded at the entrance. Kong Zixiong and others looked over and saw a group of people coming.
Qi Ba walked in front, his arm was still wrapped in gauze, but he was in good spirits. Behind him were fifteen chess pieces wearing chess clothes and spectators such as Jiang Yunlong.
"Sorry, there was a traffic jam on the road and I was late."
Qi Ba knew that everyone was dissatisfied, and laughed and bowed: "After the victory today, Qi Ba will hold a banquet. One person counts as one, to show his heart."
Kong Zixiong hummed without comment: "Qi Ba, stop talking nonsense. If you blow it again, it will rain. Hurry up and enter the game."
"Enter the game!"
Qi Ba waved his right hand, and the twelve people shot out one after another, standing at the corresponding positions on the chessboard like sharp arrows.
Their extremely fast speed and agility showed their extraordinaryness.
Then, two middle-aged men with similar features came forward, like twins, but one was blind in one eye and the other was missing an ear.
They walked slowly towards the position of the ‘car’. They walked very slowly but firmly, as if they would stick to it once they made a decision.
They each had a knife and a sword on their waists, but they were incomplete like them, which made them more fearful.
“Chi——”
A bird stumbled past them and flew past them. When it was about to hit one of them, a flash of sword light flashed and the bird was instantly stabbed on the sword.
Before it landed, another flash of sword light flashed, and the bird’s blood splashed all on the half-cut knife, bright red and dazzling.
“Swoosh!”
The next second, the knife holder turned his wrist, and all the blood on the knife went into his mouth. He swallowed it with a gulp, and his face looked very comfortable.
At the same time, the sword holder turned the broken sword, bit the bird into his mouth, and ate it clean with a few crunches. Eating raw meat and drinking blood, that’s all.
Many people in the audience felt sick and their hands and feet were cold. These two people were too primitive, too bloody, and too perverted.
Kong Zixiong looked solemn: "Qi's two best generals?"
He knew that these were the two trusted generals used by Qi Ba to look after the house. They rarely left the base camp. He didn't expect that they would be transferred to fight today.
It can be seen that Qi Ba wanted to win this battle and wanted Ye Tianlong to die.
When Tian Mo and Di Kuangtian looked at each other, Ye Tianlong also narrowed his eyes: "It seems that Qi Ba has shed a lot of money."
"You, just be my soldier."
Just when Ye Tianlong and the others recovered from the Qi family's two best generals, Qi Ba had already walked to the center palace and sat cross-legged on the chopping board on the "general position".
And on the left side, a vacant "soldier" was also sent by Jiang Yunlong. He was wrapped tightly, wearing a mask, and holding a thin knife in his hand.
This was a woman, a woman wearing a mask, but when Ye Tianlong saw it, he shook uncontrollably and showed surprise in his eyes.
With this figure and this temperament, a person instantly flashed through Ye Tianlong's mind...
Lin Rudao also straightened his body.
