Cold North.
Yu State, Yu County.
An inner courtyard within the Yu Family in the Inner City.
Yan Jingqing, in simple commoner attire, sat across from Yu Jiujiang, with a chessboard placed between the two on a stone table. The black and white pieces on the board were entangled, like two dragons battling each other.
On the chessboard, clouds billowed and storms brewed, but outside it was peaceful and tranquil.
"Chen Mu has gone to the Central Prefecture."
Yan Jingqing, picking up a white piece and gently placing it down, suddenly addressed Yu Jiujiang.
Yu Jiujiang looked old, his face full of aging wrinkles, but his overall spirit was still robust, appearing vigorous. At this moment, his withered right hand slowly lifted, two fingers picked up a black piece and gently placed it in the center of the board.
With the drop of a piece,
it seemed as if the entire chessboard was suddenly bubbling with murderous intent.
