Meng Huo returned to Manga Island again, it was already August.

I haven't come back for more than ten days, and the scene on Manga Island has changed. There are many signs on the road. There are some beautiful gadgets hanging on the trees on the street. There are also shops dressed up. You can also see some girls wearing cosplay clothes guiding customers.

The carnival will open in a few days, but at this time, many tourists have arrived at Manga Island, and tourists can be seen everywhere. When Meng Huo was riding through the car outside the office, he also saw the dense crowd in the office through the car and boat.

“This year’s carnival is so lively…”

Meng Huo smiled. After the car stopped outside the Phoenix Building, several bodyguards ran out of the building and escorted him in. Some tourists around him saw Meng Huo, but they had no time to react and could only secretly complain.

Unlike the previous times, Meng Huo returned this time during the day. He did not return to the apartment, but walked towards the office. But when the elevator just arrived at the floor, as soon as the elevator door opened, Meng Huo saw the girl outside.

"Chen Jie, when are you back?"

Meng Huo was very surprised.

"Yesterday, I haven't seen you for a long time, Meng Huo..." Chen Jie endured the urge to hug her and replied with a smile. She hadn't seen Meng Huo for several months. This was the longest separation in two years. With Alice's incident, I was going crazy to see him.

Early this morning, Chen Jie made excuses to wait in Meng Huo's office. She had worked as an assistant to the secretary here before, and the secretary knew it. So she turned a blind eye. But I just received the news that Meng Huo had arrived. Chen Jie was guarding the elevator door.

If she hadn't gone down to greet her, she would have been seen by many people. She might have run to the gate of the building.

"Yesterday? I didn't expect you to come back before me." Meng Huo laughed, then walked out of the elevator and walked towards the office with Shen Jie: "You won't leave during this carnival, right?"

"Yes." Chen Jie nodded happily. The carnival was held for several days. During this period, not to mention her, all voice actors of Phoenix Company had to be on standby on Comic Island. Xia Chuan Zhen and Long Xue would also come back one after another in the past two days.

"I've seen the new stage. It's very beautiful!"

After Chen Jie came back, in addition to waiting for Meng Huo, she also went to see the Phoenix Pavilion as soon as possible. The stage was specially set up for them, and it will be the venue for some event organizers of Phoenix Company in the future. Chen Jie took a look at it on the spot and she was quite satisfied.

"By the way, what is this?"

On the way to the office, Chen Jie found that the bodyguard behind Meng Huo was always carrying a big box, which didn't look like a document. She knew that Meng Huo rarely brought such a big thing when she went on a trip, and couldn't help but become curious.

"Oh. That... I'll give it to you later."

Meng Huo smiled. Then he gave a few instructions to the secretary at the door of the office and took Chen Jie into the office. Chen Jie took the initiative to pour tea, while Meng Huo asked the bodyguard to open the box, took out the things inside, and then placed it on the glass table in front of the sofa.

"Isn't this Go?"

Chen Jie came over with tea and knew what this thing was at a glance.

This is a square wooden Go board. Chen Jie put down the tea and touched it curiously. The texture of the board is delicate and straight, the color is golden and pleasing to the eye, and it exudes a faint fragrance. She tapped it with her fingertips, and the sound made was also crisp and moving.

"What a great chessboard, it's hundreds of years old. Where did you come from?"

Chen Jie was overjoyed. This was a ding-sharp chessboard, and the shape was very simple. There must be a history. This kind of chessboard with history and such a perfect one is generally passed down from generation to generation by powerful Go players, and even if you have money, you can basically not buy it.

"Do you know Go?" Meng Huo was shocked by Chen Jie's words. When he first saw this Go board, he just thought it was very beautiful, and he misunderstood it was a modern work. Unexpectedly, Chen Jie could see that it had history at a glance.

"My grandfather is a Go fan. I learned to play chess from him." Chen Jie said confidently: "When I was in elementary school, my father took me to the city to participate in a Go competition and won the regional championship... Those chess players all surrounded me and wanted me to learn chess, but my father said that learning chess cannot be eaten as a meal, so he took me away again."

Meng Huo was stunned. Chen Jie has changed her state since she was a child. And who is the Holy Spirit of her grandfather? Why did Meng Huo always feel that he is like a hidden master. In addition to martial arts, he can even ventricular skills and Go.

"I'll ask again, do you know how to play the guqin and write calligraphy?"

Meng Huo asked cautiously, if Chen Jie now said that she was proficient in both piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, he would not be surprised at all.

"I know how to write a brush." ​​Chen Jie nodded, then touched her head: "I don't know how to play the piano. Although my grandfather wanted to teach me, I couldn't master the strength in my hands when I was a child. I always broke the strings and broke several pianos in a row, so my grandfather never let me learn again."

She explained that she did receive every kind of education in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting when she was a child, but because of learning martial arts, Chen Jie could not control her body, calligraphy, painting, and playing the piano when she was a child, and in the end she only learned calligraphy.

However, playing chess does not conflict with her learning martial arts. Chen Jie learned Go very well, but her parents thought that Go could not be a career, so they did not continue their studies in this area.

"How did you get this chessboard?"

After talking about his own affairs, Chen Jie became curious again.

"Sent by someone else."

Meng Huo laughed and said that this chessboard was a gift from the director of Muto from the East District. They had dinner together that afternoon. Although Meng Huo did not agree to draw Go, Muto thought he was still young and even if he didn't draw it now, he would have a chance in the future.

So he gave Meng Huo a precious chessboard, which is an investment. If Meng Huo could learn it with it and like to play chess, then perhaps one day he could change his mind, and then the investment in this chessboard would have been effective.

"I didn't want to accept it at first, but seeing these chess pieces..." Meng Huo took out the chess pieces again and said, "They are so beautiful, so I took them away."

Chen Jie rarely saw Meng Huo say something beautiful. She looked at the chess piece and her eyes lit up again: "Yunzi!"

"What Yunzi?"

"It's the name of these chess pieces. These are the best chess pieces." Chen Jie picked up a chess piece and placed it on the chess board, making a sound like a pearl falling from a jade plate. She was a little excited: "This is the first time I touched the chess board and chess pieces. I'll see if there is any history..."

She suddenly took away the chess piece again, raised the chessboard and looked at the bottom, and then her movements stopped.

“Is there anything below?”

Meng Huo was confused. He hadn't seen the bottom of the chessboard yet.

Chen Jie's breathing seemed to become a little rapid. She observed for a while before putting down the chessboard, and then said with a serious expression: "There is information about its first owner under this chessboard. Meng Huo, I think you should return this chessboard..."

"What's wrong?"

Meng Huo frowned, then took the chessboard and looked down. There were no words below, but there was a strange seal carving. It has been a long time, and the carving is not very obvious. The text on it is in traditional Chinese. Meng Huo had not seen what the word was, but Chen Jie continued to speak.

"This is the emperor's chessboard. The sign below symbolizes that it is specially made for an emperor..." She paused and continued, "Although I don't know that the emperor used him, this kind of chessboard is generally collected by the National Cultural Heritage Museum and rarely circulated outside."

"There is only one possibility that this kind of imperial chessboard is circulating abroad. The emperor gave it to the chess players. Among the players in the entire Go world, there will be no more than ten chessboards that can match this. Each one is a sky-high national treasure. There was a similar chessboard auction ten years ago, and 100 million Chinese coins were sold..."

Listening to Chen Jie's explanation, Meng Huo almost trembled his hands and dropped the chessboard.

"Damn, is this a national treasure?" He suddenly felt that the things in his hand were so heavy. One hundred million Chinese coins were nothing, but when it came to historical value, the weight of this chessboard was obviously not something that money could measure.

"Try to win over?"

Meng Huo suddenly realized that he underestimated the Go world too much. Their skills to pay for money were obviously higher than those of others! (To be continued, please search for Piaotianwen, novels are better, updated and faster!
