Chapter 147 Ghost hits the wall

Mr. Feng laughed unrestrainedly and heartily in front of Chen Ji.

At the end of his laugh, he put his hand on Chen Ji's shoulder and bent over with laughter, startling the flocks of birds in the mountains and forests and flying up, circling in the night sky.

Chen Ji stood with his sword in his hand, the blade very close to Mr. Feng, but the other party seemed not to see it, or perhaps, he had never worried that a minor official in the acquired realm could do anything to him.

Chen Ji looked down at Mr. Feng in front of him, wondering whether he should take the opportunity to kill him with a knife, but after looking at him for a long time, he found... there was no flaw.

The other person's hand, which seemed to be casually placed on his shoulder, must be faster than his own knife.

After a long while, Mr. Feng straightened his back and wiped the tears from his eyes with his thumb: "The young man is really funny. One moment he was still persuading me to give up evil and join the light, and the next moment he changed his flag and changed his banner."

Chen Ji said seriously: "Since a smart person like Mr. Feng is willing to follow the Liu family, I think the Liu family must have some outstanding qualities that I don't know about."

Mr. Feng stared at him with a half-smile: "You've already said it all. Let me ask you, what are the conditions for working with me?"

Chen Ji thought for a moment and said, "Let the prince and the princess go."

"It's that simple?"

"It's that simple."

Mr. Feng thought for a moment and said, "I can't make the decision on this matter. Let me change the conditions."

Chen Ji said helplessly: "Mr. Feng can't even make a decision on such a small matter? Then what's the point of staying in the Liu family? You might as well follow me to Prince Jing's Mansion."

Mr. Feng didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You speak as if you can make the decision for the palace. I said I want 30,000 taels of silver a year, how about that?"

Chen Ji: “Okay.”

Mr. Feng looked at Chen Ji speechless. After a moment, he sighed and said, "You really dare to agree to anything. I know you are stalling for time, but I can't help but want to hear what nonsense you can come up with to save your life. But I don't have to do it myself to ask for the prince and the princess. What's the point of you just delaying me?"

Chen Ji said seriously: "Sir, you misunderstood. I really want to follow your lead."

Mr. Feng ignored his nonsense, but lowered his head and thought: "What are you waiting for by delaying time?"

"Wait for Prince Jing? Unfortunately, all the experts around Prince Jing have been eliminated by the Imperial Household Department over the years. Wait for the Secret Service Department? The Secret Service Department is far away in Luo City and has no way of knowing what happened here..."

Mr. Feng looked up at Chen Ji and smiled even more happily: "Young man, it seems that you have no way out."

This time, Chen Ji remained silent.

He seemed to have grasped something from Mr. Feng's words, as if something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong for a moment.

Mr. Feng smiled and patted his shoulder: "I know you must be waiting for something, but it doesn't matter. If you want to delay time, I will accompany you to delay time. I heard that you beat Prince Jing and Zhang Zhuo in chess. I don't have the opportunity to play chess with them. Why don't you play a game with me."

"it is good."

Chen Ji felt something strange.

Mr. Feng did not seem like the kind of man who would get carried away by success. The other party could obviously kill him right now, which was what a smart person would do, but the other party was willing to wait with him.

You are waiting for reinforcements, what is the other party waiting for?
Mr. Feng waved behind him and said, "Jiang Yan, get the chessboard and chess basket from the saddle!"

Not far away, two war horses were tied to a dead tree.

Jiang Yan took out a handful of beans from the saddle bag and fed it to the warhorse, then took out a cloth chessboard from the other side saddle bag and spread it neatly on the ground.

Chen Ji and Mr. Feng sat cross-legged under the moon.

Mr. Feng looked at Chen Ji and said, "We are playing fast chess. Each move cannot exceed ten breaths. If you have not made a move for more than ten breaths, Jiang Yan will chop off your head and send it back to the Liu family mansion. If you have not waited for the person you are waiting for by the end of this game, you will also die."

After saying that, he actually played black and made the first move.

Chen Ji counted his breaths silently and placed his white piece at the last moment. His fingers had just left the chessboard when Mr. Feng had already placed the second black piece.

Chen Ji would drag himself to his last breath every time, while Mr. Feng would never hesitate.

After just a few moves, he suddenly frowned.

Mr. Feng's thinking was so quick and sharp that he had never seen it before. The opponent used the Wuyou corner to defend, and just as his white piece hit it, the opponent immediately opened up and closed the battlefield, not fighting with him.

This person thinks in the overall picture, not just in one area.

Chen Ji’s chess skills were not very good, but he had learned the moves from AlphaGo, and this was the first time he was defeated so quickly.

If this was a move that the opponent had thought out after a long time, he could still understand it, but Mr. Feng broke through without even thinking!
At this time, Mr. Feng looked away from the chessboard, raised his head and looked at Chen Ji, teasing: "This chess move is not your own, why is it so awkward and dry to use it?"

Chen Ji was shocked that he had been seen through!

While he was distracted, Jiang Yan next to him slowly raised the blade of the knife, and he quickly placed a piece on the chessboard.

Mr. Feng was immediately dissatisfied: "Bad move, bad move, this move is considered as my words disturbing you, you are allowed to take it back!"

After that, he picked up the white piece that Chen Ji had just dropped and threw it back into Chen Ji's hand: "I'll give you another ten breaths!"

Chen Ji looked at Mr. Feng deeply, took a deep breath and looked at the chessboard. As his last breath was about to pass, he placed the white piece at the bottom of the "Autumn" position.

Mr. Feng's eyes lit up and he exclaimed, "You are so brave, young man! Now your chess moves are like your own. I don't know where you got them from before, but they were totally different."

Chen Ji ignored him and just stared at the chessboard silently, as if he had ignored the outside world.

The swaying branches, the blowing dead leaves, and the birds under the moon were all silent. The two of them switched hands on the chessboard, playing faster and faster. On the chessboard, Chen Ji's weak white dragon rushed around in the corners, and almost fought his way out of the heavy encirclement several times.

Mr. Feng said as he made his move: "This method of treating me is really spirited. No wonder you were able to fight your way here. Young man, I am interested in talents again. If you can do what I want, I will help you fulfill a wish. How about it? However, the prince and the princess have great use for me, so I cannot agree to this."

Chen Ji replied without even looking up: "Okay."

Mr. Feng smiled and didn't get angry. He just casually placed a piece on the chessboard.

In an instant, Chen Ji's white dragon could no longer move.

He was holding a white piece, not knowing where to move it, and it was a dead end.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths...

Ten breaths.

Mr. Feng sighed: "The person you were waiting for never came. Although I cherish talents, I would rather kill a person like you when he is still insignificant."

Jiang Yan silently raised the knife beside Chen Ji and chopped down like thunder, but Chen Ji seemed to have been prepared for it, and he grasped the handle of the whale knife and lifted it up!
However, the knife that was originally intended to cut off Jiang Yan's wrist missed.

Jiang Yan's wrist was just hovering on the edge of the blade's trajectory. His strong control allowed him to avoid the knife before it fell again.

This is a crushing blow from the realm!
Innate realm!

Chen Ji held the knife and rolled backwards in a panic to avoid the knife, then stood up and fled into the forest without looking back. He had delayed as much as he could, and he had done everything he could, so he could only flee!
He looked back and saw Mr. Feng slowly getting up from the ground, and it seemed that he had no intention of chasing him.

Chen Ji ran several hundred steps, and as he ran he realized something was wrong...

He slowly stopped and saw two tall war horses tied to trees in the distance. Jiang Yan was standing beside the horses, feeding them beans while looking at him coldly.

Further away, Mr. Feng said with a smile, "Where do you want to run to?"

Chen Ji slowly retreated backwards.

Trapped in a maze? No, this is a trick used by officials.

He looked around, not missing a single clue, but this forest was just an ordinary forest, with no clues to be found.

run!
Chen Ji ran a few hundred steps again. This time, he ran to the other side of the warhorse, and Jiang Yan was feeding beans to the warhorse with his back to him.

Surprising.

So weird!

Mr. Feng said loudly: "Don't waste your time. This is Jiang Yan's Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation. Ordinary people can't escape."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a meow from behind Chen Ji. He turned around and ran straight to the source of the sound!
He ran hundreds of steps following the sound, but instead of going back to where he started, he ran into an invisible wall.

"open!"

Chen Ji swung his sword angrily, and the sword slashed the air, as if tearing a piece of canvas. The world was completely new, and even the mountain wind became a little more violent.

Mr. Feng exclaimed: "Interesting."

"Sir, do you want to chase me?"

Mr. Feng smiled and said, "Why chase him? He went through Jingmen. Wait for him to come back."

"Yes."

Mr. Feng stood with his hands behind his back, humming softly, "The Lord of Jingmen has shed blood, and the official has ordered the sale of his farm. There will be many disasters, and his descendants will suffer. There will be death by force and misfortune, and the livestock will also be injured. Separation of life and death, those who enter must be careful. Haha, must be careful."

In the forest, Chen Ji was running wildly. He didn't wait for the person he wanted to wait for, but he waited for his cat.

As he passed a big tree, a dark cloud jumped down from the treetop and landed lightly on his shoulders.

It stretched out its claws and touched Chen Ji's ear. A huge molten stream poured out, and the fires in Chen Ji's body were ignited one after another!
Forty-two, forty-three, forty-four...fifty-six lamps!
Chen Ji only felt that the fatigue after the previous battle disappeared, as if he had been reborn!
But after running a few hundred steps, he gradually slowed down.

Chen Ji expressionlessly took off the dark cloud from his shoulder and threw it into the forest, then walked forward.

The forests and mountains parted like waves, and Mr. Feng was seen standing by the bluestone, holding a flute. He asked with a smile, "Where did you go? Why did you take so long to come back?"

Chen Ji frowned. Is there no way to escape like this? !
Mr. Feng walked towards him holding a flute. The long green tassels hanging from the flute swayed back and forth, almost sweeping the ground.

He said slowly, "Everyone has dreamed of being a chivalrous young man, but in the end, all they got was a lesson. Young man, don't struggle. I promise you, I can bring your body back to the Liu family intact... Okay?"

Before he could finish his words, the sky brightened.

A white light illuminated the mountains from far away.

Chen Ji looked back suddenly, and saw a meteor like a white Pegasus breaking through the sky, drawing a thrilling parabola, flying from the long distance.

With a bang, the arrow seemed to shatter something, and the world shattered like glass.

On the other side, Jiang Yan's sleeves suddenly caught fire. He slapped his sleeves hard, and half a burning talisman paper fell out.

He looked up at Mr. Feng: "Sir!"

Mr. Feng ignored him and looked at Chen Ji, then suddenly realized, "So you are waiting for Pegasus."
