"What did Tang Yishui say?" asked Sir Bi.
"Tang Yishui racked his brains until he vomited blood from exhaustion, but he still couldn't figure it out … He's recuperating now," answered Yun Yang.
"Vomiting blood? Recuperating? If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, how would I have thought that there's such a game in this world? It's truly a blood-vomiting manual … "
Sir Bi heaved a deep sigh. Suddenly, his eyes shone as he said, "Could this be the rumored blood-vomiting manual that no one has ever been able to solve?"
Yun Yang was stunned. "Blood-Vomiting manual? Then, the secret manual of Go? "
He nodded and said in deep thought, "No wonder then. It's the legendary item in Go, nothing can be done about it …"
Sir Bi pondered with rapt attention. After trying all the methods he knew, he swiftly came to a conclusion.
This game of Go could not be solved with conventional methods.
Thinking about it, he tried again and began to simulate various variations in his mind.
The more he thought about it, the more variations there were, but the final result was still futile. It was difficult to change the losing game.
As time went on, the black and white pieces on the Go board in his mind gradually turned into a confrontation between the black and white armies. Thousands of soldiers and horses were charging over and leaving in a cloud of dust.
The two peerless marshals were unleashing all sorts of tricks and variations as they fought fiercely.
Sir Bi gradually appeared to be in a trance as he murmured, "There's no way forward, no way back … What should I do in such a hopeless situation? How can I turn the losing game around and turn the tide? How absurd, how absurd! "
As he spoke, his face turned paler and paler while his body swayed like it was about to collapse.
Sir Bi's mind was completely immersed in the Go game now. His vision was filled with illusions and his expression grew more unsightly, but he did not seem to notice it at all.
Yun Yang looked like he was deep in thought as well, as if his soul had left his body, but his mind was not on the game at all. There was only amusement in his heart. 'The God of Wine, Feng Xiange, has studied this Go manual for most of his life, vomiting blood until most of his lifespan is gone … Even if you've held back, you're still one of the Four Seasons Tower's civil and martial ministers. You're still a distance away from the Phantom Physician, Feng Xiange, the expert of the generation above you, aren't you?
Let's see if you'll die if you fall for it! '
Bang!
The Crown Prince suddenly slammed his palm on the table, and there was a loud bang.
Sir Bi woke up at the sound and spat out a mouthful of blood, looking lethargic. He opened his eyes and said, "That was close …"
Before his words echoed in the air, Yun Yang, who was standing beside him, moved with a gurgling sound. A mouthful of blood seemed to have rushed to his throat, but he shut his mouth forcefully and swallowed the blood back with a gulp. However, no one could see the redness on his handsome face, not to mention the shaking of his body and the way he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve. It was obvious that he was in a similar state, no better than Sir Bi. Yun Yang chuckled bitterly and said, "How is this a Go playbook? It's a saber that kills. I've been laughing at the Go King for being a chess fanatic and lacking in composure. Now that I'm in the same situation, I can't believe it!"
Sir Bi chuckled bitterly as well. The doubt that had just risen in the depth of his eyes disappeared.
"It looks like this playbook isn't something we can understand. Forcing it will only bring harm and no benefit!"
Yun Yang retrieved the playbook and smiled bitterly. "I'd better take this back and shelve it. It turns out that all paths lead to the same destination. Once the mind is immersed in the art of Go and the martial arts, it's impossible to detach. It's an obsession. Once you sink into it, you'll be injured. It's better to avoid it."
Sir Bi heaved a long sigh and said, "That's right. Young Master is right. The ancients have poured their blood, sweat, and tears into creating this earth-shattering Go game. How can it be treated lightly?"
Despite his thoughts, he felt an inexplicable reluctance when he saw Yun Yang keeping the playbook in his embrace. "Young Master Yun, are you really not going to study it anymore? Are you going to stop now? "
Yun Yang chuckled and said self-deprecatingly, "Sir Bi is a wise man. How can you not understand the reason behind this? This Go game can never be played again. If we force it, it'll only be disadvantageous to both of us. Forgive me for being frank, but I'm not a selfless friend to His Highness the crown prince, and we've never been on the same side in politics. Our standpoints are different, so naturally, we can only bear our own fate. "
"Of course, I can't bear for anything to happen to me. However, if something were to happen to Sir Bi because of this Go playbook, His Highness the crown prince's wrath will inevitably involve me. This isn't a good thing for both of us. It's better to avoid this layer of karma! "
Yun Yang chuckled.
The crown prince, who was initially solemn, broke into a smile and said, "Crown Prince Yun's words are reasonable. The art of the game is intricate, but it's still a minor art after all. It's not a good thing to waste it. It's for the best that nothing serious has happened to everyone now."
Sir Bi grinned and said without any ill will, "Young Master Yun is right. Let's forget about this then. I hope I'll still have the chance to learn from the crown prince in the future."
He thought to himself, 'I've memorized the key move of the first game anyway. I'll study it slowly when I get back. If I can break the game, it'll be my own secret. It's better than sharing it with others. I should be the only one left in the history of Go!'
Yun Yang kept the Go playbook away and bade farewell before leaving. His footsteps were light, as if he had let go of a heavy burden.
Sir Bi watched him leave the residence, his eyes gleaming as he said, "Your Highness the crown prince, today is the best time to kill Yun Yang!"
The crown prince turned abruptly to look at Sir Bi in bewilderment.
It was obvious that His Highness did not understand where Sir Bi's sudden suggestion had come from.
Sir Bi sucked in a deep breath and said, "Times have changed. Your Highness has coincidentally established a friendly relationship with Yun Yang by chance. If you strike him now, Your Highness will have an excuse to get rid of suspicion even if someone suspects it later. Furthermore, the assassins are resting now, but it's also a time of chaos. It's extremely convenient to strike now! "
His Highness nodded slightly and said, "That's right. This is indeed the best time for us to strike. No one will suspect a friend who has just expressed goodwill and goodwill. Sir Bi is wise indeed."
Sir Bi nodded with a smile and said leisurely, "It should be heaven's will that Your Highness will succeed. It would be absurd not to take what heaven has given you!"
Without further ado, His Highness passed down the order at once.
Just as the order was about to be delivered, Sir Bi added, "Remember to bring back the Go playbook from Young Master Yun. Do not damage it."
The crown prince was dumbfounded.
'Why the f * ck did you kill Yun Yang? Was it for yourself or for yourself? '
It was only a Go playbook. Was there a need to do it so blatantly, abusing one's authority for personal gain?
His Highness could not understand Sir Bi's mentality at all.
…
Yun Yang walked out of the crown prince's residence. Just as he turned a corner, he saw a familiar face.
