The Fourth Volume: Iron Clouds Fill the Sky Chapter 118 This won't work, that won't work either!

  Chu Yang had been thinking since he arrived here, and Cheng Zixiao's answer only added to his confusion. Melon seeds? It shouldn't be... Looking at the complex terrain, Chu Yang couldn't help but ask himself: If I were Tang Xinsheng, what would I do? How would I hide?

  Starting from this, Chu Yang put himself in Teng Xiang Saint's shoes and slowly extended his thoughts... The situation was not yet clear, Bu Tian Pavilion had not started to take action against me, I was just preparing for the worst; hide first and see the reaction, if it's not good, I'll leave immediately, if it's okay, I'll come back and tell others that I went to visit friends... Hmm, this should be Teng Xiang Saint's mindset.

  So Táng Xīn Shèng is nearby, probably still paying attention to the movements of the Tang Mansion. And here the roads are all connected, wanting to pay attention to the movements of each aspect of the Tang Mansion... What position would I choose?

  Chu Yang was deep in thought. The location chosen by Chengzi Ang to avoid detection was not the best; the best location would often be the most closely watched, with people keeping an eye on it. On the contrary, it was the worst location! Since Chengzi Ang wouldn't choose it, Tang Xin Sheng's wisdom naturally wouldn't choose it either.

  So, choose a slightly inferior position. And what Cheng Zilong is currently occupying is this slightly inferior position.

  Chu Yang's eyes scanned the area calmly and quickly found several positions near the Tang Mansion that were most suitable for surveillance. Since the first two locations didn't work, then the third location was... Chu Yang's gaze fell on the two old men playing chess under the tree.

  Two old men with white hair, both looking over sixty years old, with wrinkles all over their faces and a worn-out appearance. Both of them were staring at the chessboard, concentrating intensely. One of them, facing Chu Yang, had a relaxed expression on his face, gently swaying a folding fan, while the other one was lowering his head, his face filled with heavy thoughts, seemingly deeply contemplating his opponent's move and unable to crack it... These two old men are really enjoying themselves, at such an advanced age they can still sit so steadily... Chu Yang's heart moved slightly, he made a secret eye contact with Cheng Zixiang.

  "Two brothers, playing chess is hard work, have some melon seeds, haha." Cheng Zixiang walked over with a humble smile and placed a plate of melon seeds beside the chessboard; he said enviously: "You two brothers are really blessed, playing chess for two days in a row without worrying about anything else. Unlike me, I still have to run around for a living..."

  That elderly man with a relaxed demeanor smiled and said, "Your elder brother is also very fortunate, his body is healthy, isn't that the greatest fortune?" His voice was old but very elegant.

  Cheng Zi Ang repeatedly nodded in agreement, hunching his back and retreated back.

  "For two days in a row, playing chess..." Chu Yang's eyes flashed with inspiration, and he had made up his mind. He looked at the big tree, then swayed over to the two old men playing chess, and leaned down to look at the board.

  "This chess is not easy to break......" Chu Yang clicked his tongue repeatedly, "Wonderful! It's really wonderful......"

  The old man with a thoughtful face suddenly turned his head, glared at him and said: "What nonsense are you talking about? Do you even know how to play chess?" The anger that had been suppressed by the chess situation was suddenly vented on this ignorant young whippersnapper.

  "Hmm, look here, digging doesn't work, jumping doesn't work either, and the space is not good, the point is too sharp, broken... it seems like a good move, but there's also the danger of total defeat... really hard to respond." Chu Yang "brushed" open a folding fan with a "brush" sound, and then closed it with another "brush" sound, the folding fan was already pointing at the chessboard.

  Chu Yang's words made Cheng Zi'ang's whole body feel a thrill! He was clueless about chess, but Chu Yang's words were clearly hinting at something: digging doesn't work, jumping doesn't work, spacing doesn't work, cutting off doesn't work...... Damn, isn't this exactly the situation Tang Xin Sheng is in now?

  Could it be that I've been squatting here for two days, and the biggest target is sitting right behind my own butt? Thinking about it this way, Cheng Da Tang almost wanted to stuff his own head into his pants... He came with such fanfare to catch someone, but the person was sitting right behind him for two whole days and he still hadn't discovered them... This, this, this... It's simply a joke from the underworld! "Oh? In your opinion... young man, what do you think should be done?" The old man opposite him, with a relaxed expression, looked at Chu Yang and asked with a smile.

  "In my humble opinion, this move should be a checkmate! Chu Yang snapped open his fan with a crisp sound and slowly fanned himself twice, saying meaningfully: 'Even if it's slow, it still won't work; what do you think, Lord Tang?'"

  As soon as Chu Yang's words came out, the air suddenly became heavy. The old man in front of him, who was facing away from him, suddenly stiffened his back.

  Cheng Zǐ áng suddenly stood up, his head swiftly turning around, incredulously staring at the old man who had been facing his back, his face flushing bright red!

  It's infuriating! It's maddening!

  I've actually made the mistake of underestimating him... The old man's expression didn't change, looking at Chu Yang with a calm tone, "Flying? That's also a way; however, what you said, young friend, is quite profound and mysterious."

  "I also think it's quite mysterious and profound, and I'm a bit skeptical." Chu Yang smiled softly: "A phrase that has been heard before but never understood, 'treading on iron shoes without searching for a place, getting everything without effort'; today I finally understand. Tang sir, do you understand this phrase?"

  That white-haired old man flashed a smile in his eyes and said: "I still don't understand, why are you so sure to call me Lord Tang?"

  "Looking up, the rivers and mountains stretch for thousands of miles without end." Chu Yang said lightly: "Lowering one's head, the hustle and bustle revolves around a handful of yellow earth."

  These two sentences were written by Tang Xinseng in a eulogy when Tie Yun, the Iron Cloud Marshal and a renowned general of the Iron Soul, died on the battlefield many years ago. When Chu Yang recites them now, they carry a different meaning.

  Also dispelled Tang Xinsheng's mind of denying it!

  Your disguise, I've already seen through it, and if you continue to deny it, that's just ridiculous.

  Tang Xinseng smiled warmly: "Little brother has a good memory."

  "It's too kind of you." Chu Yang smiled with a fist bump.

  "I suppose, young brother, you are the legendary master of the Supplementing Heaven Pavilion, Chu Yanwang?" Tang Xinseng's smile was always very gentle, and his eyes were extremely warm, without any sign of panic. But as soon as he said this sentence, another old man's face suddenly showed a desperate expression.

  It's actually King Yanluo of Chu!

  He is now the most notorious first villain in Tiyun!

  "I dare not, it's a colloquial nickname, and I'm afraid it would be an insult to your refined ears, sir." Chu Yang said modestly.

  "Who would have thought that the infamous Chu Yan Wang, who slaughtered Iron Cloud with a single sword, was actually so young and handsome, with a refined and elegant demeanor?" Tang Xin smiled warmly and politely, his voice clear and bright: "However, I really don't understand, how did you find me? Why were you so certain that I was here?"

  "I wasn't sure, it was just luck." Chu Yang said calmly: "My method, for dealing with ordinary fools, may not have any effect at all, but Tang is a clever person among clever people. I came to probe you, and it was indeed luck, but after arriving here, I became certain, that it's you!"

  "Oh?" Tang Xinseng looked at him with a questioning gaze, very interested.

  "A place like this is the easiest to keep an eye on the Tang Manor; other places, although easier to see, have too large a target. The big tree at the entrance of the Tang Manor is like a canopy, and there are always people playing chess here, it must be what Mr. Tang has arranged long ago. And one day when you disguise yourself and appear here, no one will notice."

  Chu Yang smiled slightly.

  "Not bad." Tang Xinseng also revealed a smile of appreciation, his eyes gradually sharpening.

  "However, Mr. Tang cannot be certain that I will take action against you; this is precisely the best place to observe; even if it's dangerous, you can wait for the person who will come to your aid at the first opportunity. Moreover, no matter what happens at home, as long as you don't expose yourself here, everything is within sight."

  "Mr. Tang is calm and wise, with many plans; the truth under the lamp, Mr. Tang understands better than anyone else. I suppose, if Mr. Tang can have a connection to hide in the Supplement Heaven Pavilion, that would be the most ideal hiding place!" Chu Yang smiled warmly: "Today, I came to invite Mr. Tang to go to that most ideal hiding place!"

  Tang Xinseng shook his head and smiled lightly, repeatedly sighing: "Not bad, not bad; Chu Yanwang is indeed worthy of being Chu Yanwang." He paused for a moment, then suddenly narrowed his eyes and smiled: "But why didn't you make your move immediately, and instead wanted to chat with me about this nonsense here?"

  "You should know that speaking too much will lead to loss. As the renowned Chu Yan Wang, you wouldn't be unaware of this point, would you?" Tang Xin Sheng's pupils suddenly constricted, emitting a sharp, needle-like glint.

  "It's unexpected." Chu Yang smiled calmly: "Moreover, I didn't expect that Tang, a scholar-official, would be a top-notch expert! And if I were to make a move, I wouldn't have the upper hand."

  "While Mr. Tang didn't make a move, it was because of his anger." Chu Yang chuckled: "A plan that thought it was clever was seen through, and the identity that was thought to be most hidden was also dug out. For someone who thinks they are unparalleled in intelligence, this is undoubtedly a humiliation! Even if he were to die, it would not be as embarrassing as Mr. Tang's current shame!"

  "So Lord Tang is playing with me." Chu Yang's eyes revealed a mocking expression: "Lord Tang wants to humiliate me after I expose you, at the moment when I'm most triumphant, and then rely on his extraordinary martial arts skills to break through and escape!"

  "Or, just kill me right here!" Chu Yang said calmly: "Lord Tang, this is your mind, I don't know if I'm wrong?"

  "Not bad!" Tang Xin Sheng slowly stood up and said, "The result of my thirteen years of hard work was destroyed by you in just one day! And you, you even found me out. This grudge, this hatred, if I don't kill you, how can it be avenged?"

  He coldly snorted: "And what you call the Supplementing Heaven Pavilion, in my eyes, is just a few toys! Since you don't have the ability to capture me, then you can only wait with your hands tied to be humiliated by me!"

  Chu Yang's guess was not wrong at all, and the fact proved to be just as he had planned for the worst. This Tang Xinsheng is a mastermind. Moreover, he didn't take Cheng Zuo into consideration at all; it was precisely to set up an ambush to kill Chu Yang!

  Chu Yang wants to capture him, and he also wants to kill Chu Yang.

  This is the only flaw in Chu Yang's plan.
