As the chess game progressed, Youlan's eyes gradually showed a look of surprise, and she couldn't help but frequently look at Li Hongyu, who was concentrating on playing chess.

She saw very clearly that the handsome man had fallen behind from the beginning, and Li Hongyu's chess move could be described as a dangerous move, which made the handsome man quickly forced to switch from attack to defense, and when he played chess with her, he was like two people, and his chess strength was far above her.

Youlan understood at this time that Li Hongyu usually deliberately let her when playing chess with her, and he didn't care about the outcome at all, just accompanied her to kill time.

This made her cheeks flush with two blushes when she came back to her senses, she never expected Li Hongyu to be such a caring person, willing to spend so much time with her to relieve her boredom.

She always thought that Li Hongyu's chess strength was inferior to her, and she was secretly happy about it, but now it seems that Li Hongyu deliberately let her, and her purpose was naturally to make her happy.

The handsome man's face gradually became solemn, and fine beads of sweat began to ooze from his forehead, completely lacking the leisurely and relaxed nature he had at the beginning.

He thought that Li Hongyu, who was a few years younger than him, was inferior to him in chess, but as soon as he fought, he realized that he was wrong, and he had no power to fight back in front of Li Hongyu, and after resisting, he had to fully retreat and defend.

In order to show respect for the handsome man, and also to give him a dismount, Li Hongyu did not leave his hand in this game, which made the handsome man in a predicament from the beginning.

Just when Li Hongyu and the handsome man were fighting fiercely on the chessboard, and the black and white chess pieces were in full swing, Liu Bihua, who was newly dressed, hurried over, stood beside Youlan and watched the battle with interest, and then her expression became nervous, and she noticed that the handsome man was at a disadvantage, and the situation was a little bad.

After noticing the nervous look on Liu Bihua's face, a smile appeared at the corner of Youlan's mouth, the so-called soldier is the death of a confidant, and a woman is the appearance of a person who pleases herself, the reason why Liu Bihua is late is naturally because she is dressing up, and the person who can make her do this is naturally a handsome man.

Liu Bihua has liked handsome men who are personable and wise and resolute since she was a child, so she specially asked Li Hongyu for advice on music and calligraphy and painting skills, wanting to become a better match for handsome men.

But it's a pity that the handsome man already has a wife, and Liu Bihua can only be a concubine if she marries, but she doesn't mind the name at all, as long as she can be with the handsome man, she is already satisfied.

Now that the handsome man was forced by Li Hongyu to only parry and had no power to fight back, Liu Bihua naturally felt anxious in his heart, but he had no choice but to be anxious on the side.

"Lost under the bottom." Finally, after staring around at the blacks and whites on the chessboard, the handsome man smiled bitterly, put down the whites in his hand and said to Li Hongyu.

Although the two of them are equal on the chess table, in fact, he has fallen into Li Hongyu's ambush on all sides, and he has no chance of winning, and it is just a waste of time to go on again, so he took the initiative to admit defeat.

"I conceded." Li Hongyu smiled when he heard this, and arched his hand to the handsome man, the handsome man has deep chess skills, if he leaves it to others, he will definitely not know that he will be defeated, and he will continue to resist there stubbornly, but the result is just wasting time.

"Li Gongzi is a promising young man, which is really enviable!"

Seeing this, the handsome man smiled and returned the salute, and praised him, it seems that the rumors from the outside world are true, Li Hongyu is really a talented person, and he is better than him in his most proud chess skills alone, not to mention music, calligraphy, painting, poetry and songs.

"Brother Tai has won the prize, and he just won Brother Tai's half a trick by luck." Li Hongyu smiled and waved his hand, and replied disapprerovingly, this is the case between scribes, giving face to each other, so that everyone's face is bright.

"Big brother, sir, it's time for dinner." At this time, Youlan smiled and reminded that it was already dark at this time, and that game of chess took a lot of time.

"Li Gongzi, please." The handsome man got up with a smile when he heard this, and made a gesture of invitation to Li Hongyu, with a little more respect in his expression.

"Brother, please." Li Hongyu also smiled and made a gesture of invitation to the handsome man, and the two left with a smile.

This made Youlan secretly relieved in her heart, and a relaxed smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, if the relationship between Li Hongyu and the handsome man was not harmonious, it would be very difficult for her to be caught in the middle, and she would be in a dilemma.

Since Li Hongyu already knows that Youlan's surname is Chen, the handsome man calls himself "Chen Ada", which is obviously a pseudonym, after all, his family is engaged in the sea smuggling business, and his identity cannot be revealed.

Perhaps because they are all young people and have similar personalities, Li Hongyu and Chen Adaa can be said to be familiar at first sight, staggering and talking and laughing at the wine table, which makes the atmosphere of the banquet very warm.

After contact with Li Hongyu, Chen A Daxian Li Hongyu has a unique charm, which makes people, including him, very willing to get close to Li Hongyu, this charm shows Li Hongyu's high social skills, and the handling of interpersonal relationships is like a fish in water.

However, there is one thing that Chen Ada still admires Li Hongyu very much, that is, Li Hongyu opened a free private school in the town for those children from poor families to enroll, and there are very few people with this kind of noble character.

Chen Adaa once asked Li Hongyu when he would leave Xiaoliuqiu, and Li Hongyu's reply was that it was a year, at least after the private school could continue to operate, he could leave with peace of mind, and he couldn't give up halfway.

As for how the private school can be regarded as "continuous operation", Li Hongyu did not elaborate, and Chen Adaa was not easy to ask, but a hanging stone in his heart finally fell to the ground: since Li Hongyu took the initiative to stay now, he would definitely not embarrass them, and Scholar Li could finally have an explanation.

When the wine was too drunk, a middle-aged man suddenly hurriedly entered the door and leaned over and whispered a few words in Liu Dahai's ear, Liu Dahai's face changed slightly, and then he continued to talk and laugh there quietly, but his interest obviously became a little unexpected, and his eyes seemed to have something on his mind.

Li Hongyu keenly noticed this and realized that Liu Dahai had encountered a trouble, otherwise the middle-aged man would not have come to report at this time, and Liu Dahai's mood would not have been greatly affected.

Since Liu Dahai was smiling there, Li Hongyu naturally wouldn't mention it, anyway, if it was a big event, he would know sooner or later.

At the end of the banquet, Li Hongyu, who was drinking with others, was already drunk, and was helped back to his residence by two subordinates, and fell asleep on the bed.

Youlan glanced at Li Hongyu, who was sleeping, a little helplessly, and shook her head secretly, just now at the wine table Li Hongyu drank Liu Dahai and her eldest brother down, and as a result, she was drunk like this, it can be said that killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred, the gains outweigh the losses.

Subsequently, Youlan beckoned two maids to untie Li Hongyu's clothes, and personally washed Li Hongyu's feet, placed him properly, and then closed the door and left softly.

After the sound of the door closing, Li Hongyu, who was asleep, suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were clear and drunk, he first pondered for a while, then shook his head and closed his eyes.

He felt that he was thinking too much, and the reason why Youlan took care of him like this was because he felt indebted to him, and that he was a private school teacher, and it was not interesting to him.

After all, Youlan's dream lover is a big hero who stands up to the sky, galloping on the battlefield, vertical and horizontal, and Li Hongyu is just a weak scholar, which does not meet Youlan's requirements at all.

Li Hongyu is already scared now, and before he can expand his career, he has already provoked a romantic debt, and now he no longer dares to provoke other girls, otherwise he will become a thin man, and he can't see one and receive another, what kind of system is that?

Chen Adaa did not tell Li Hongyu about asking him to help before the year, and according to the usual practice, he did not mention the troubles before the year, so that Li Hongyu could spend the New Year comfortably.

However, Li Hongyu keenly saw that Chen Ada's face was a little more sad, and he seemed to be preoccupied, as if something bad had happened, and Li Hongyu felt that it had nothing to do with him from his attitude towards him.

Li Hongyu secretly tested Youlan, but Youlan didn't seem to know what was going on, think about it, Youlan is a woman, how could Liu Dahai and Chen Adea tell her about the trouble?

In the festive atmosphere, Li Hongyu, who was "unofficial and light," ushered in the second year of the Apocalypse in Xiaoliuqiu, and he lived a leisurely life, without having to work hard for the sake of social relations, nor for the military and political affairs of the DPRK and China.

The reason why Li Hongyu chose to stay in Xiaoliuqiu was of course not to hide from leisure, but to better rectify the order at sea in the future, first of all, to understand the current situation of the order at sea, so that he could better make the right decision.

It was an eventful time in the Ming Dynasty, and the factional strife in the capital had become white-hot because the young Emperor of the Apocalypse could not control the situation, but Li Hongyu's purpose was overseas trade, and he didn't want to get too involved in those troublesome affairs, his task was to start maritime trade as soon as possible, and the elimination of sea smuggling groups and pirates was the first step.

From this point of view, Li Hongyu is the best choice at present on Xiaoliuqiu Island, because he delegated the powers of the Customs Department and the Navy Division early on, and formulated a complete operation system, so even if he is not in the Customs Department and the Navy Division, he can still operate normally, and there is no need to consult him for everything.

What is particularly important is that Li Hongyu has already drawn up corresponding plans for the Customs Department and the various departments of the Naval Division, and as long as they are implemented, there will be no problems at all during his absence.

Now, Li Hongyu is not worried about the operation of the Customs Department and the Water Division, and there is also Ran Xingrang to help him cover, unless the Emperor of the Apocalypse urgently summons him to Beijing, he will have nothing to do for a year and a half.

Judging from the current situation, Emperor Tianqi will not announce Li Hongyu to the capital when the party is in full swing in the capital, which is not beneficial to Li Hongyu, it is better to stay out of the matter.

As far as Li Hongyu is concerned, there are two roads in front of him in the matter of maritime merchants and pirates in Xiaoliuqiu, one is to encircle and suppress, and the other is to recruit peace.

Li Hongyu knew very well in his heart that rectifying the order on the sea was like controlling the water, and it was better to block it than to sparse it, and instead of encircling and suppressing those pirates on the sea and making them fall into pieces and fight guerrillas, it was better to collect them and use them after recruiting peace.

Therefore, the first step in successfully recruiting maritime merchants and pirates is to gain their trust, and he is doing so now, which will be of great benefit to his future actions.
