Ming Ke: When the villain accidentally mixes into the protagonist group

Crash! A bunch of small wooden planks fell out of the bag he was carrying.

The man quickly got up, helped Mingyue up, and apologized repeatedly.

Mingyue looked at the man wearing round-frame glasses. His eyes were long and narrow and upturned. The familiar eyebrows and eyes made Mingyue's mouth curl up slightly. She blinked, smiled sweetly and said, "It's okay."

Yuno Xingyao picked up the small piece of wood beside him and handed it to the man, saying seriously: "Sir, it is very dangerous to rush in when the car door is about to close."

"I'm really sorry, I was in a hurry and didn't think too much about it." The man with round glasses scratched his head awkwardly and bent down to pick up the small piece of wood at his feet.

Mingyue squatted down, picked up a few pieces, held them in her hand and examined them carefully.

The small wooden piece has five corners and is bell-shaped, with one corner being slightly thinner. Some wooden pieces have black writing on one side and red writing on the other side. However, some wooden pieces have black writing on only one side, and the other side is blank.

Kudo Shinichi handed the picked up wood chip to the man with round glasses.

"Thank you, thank you..." The man thanked repeatedly and put the chess piece into the cloth bag.

Kudo Shinichi grinned, "Mingyue, you probably haven't come into contact with shogi before."

"I've heard of it, but I don't know much about it. Is this shogi?" Mingyue handed the picked up chess piece to the man wearing round glasses.

"Thank you." The man put away the chess pieces. When he heard Mingyue didn't know about shogi, he quickly said, "This is shogi. My name is Haneda Hideyoshi, and I'm a shogi player."

"You are the chess player who won the title of the throne not long ago!" Mao Lilan handed the chess piece to Haneda Hideyoshi excitedly, and said excitedly, "I saw a report about you on TV, but it seems that you didn't wear glasses at that time."

Haneda Hideyoshi smiled sheepishly and said, "Haha, that was indeed me."

"You are really amazing!" Mao Lilan admired her. "I actually want to learn shogi, but it's too difficult."

"Hehehe..." Haneda Hideyoshi just kept laughing.

Yuno Xingyao looked at Mingyue and said softly, "I learned shogi from my brother. Mona, do you want to learn?"

Mingyue looked at Yuno Xingyao, thought for a moment and said, "I learned chess in the UK, and I also know a little about Chinese chess. I like chess games very much."

Wearing round glasses, Haneda Hideyoshi took out a shogi from his bag, looked at Mingyue and said, "The moves of shogi are very similar to those of international chess and Chinese chess, but the gameplay is very different. Chinese chess and international chess use colors to distinguish camps, while shogi uses the direction of the front end of the chess piece to distinguish the affiliation. It is said that shogi evolved from Chinese chess during the Tang and Song dynasties."

Mingyue looked at the shogi in Haneda Hideyoshi's hand.

"There is no upgrade system in Chinese chess. In international chess, pawns can be upgraded, but in shogi, except for the king general, jade general, gold general and upgraded pieces, all other pieces can be upgraded. The name of the upgraded piece is written on the back of the piece, and the upgrade can be completed by flipping the piece over." Haneda Hideyoshi turned over the shogi in his hand, and the red dragon horse was written behind the black corner row.

"The biggest difference between shogi and the other two chess games is the aspect of capturing pieces." Haneda Hideyoshi put the shogi back into the cloth bag and continued, "Whether it is international chess or Chinese chess, the number of pieces will continue to decrease once the game starts, but this is not the case with shogi. The captured pieces can be put back on the board and turned around, so that they can become your own pieces and be used for your own purposes."

"Using the opponent's chess piece for your own use?" Mingyue murmured to himself. Is this equivalent to capturing the opponent and successfully turning him against you? Thinking of this, Mingyue's mouth curled slightly, looked at Haneda Hideyoshi, and said with a smile, "It is indeed a very special way of playing."

Yuno Xingyao said, "So the game of shogi is ever-changing, and the situation changes rapidly. You can't be careless until the last step. It is very likely that the situation will change drastically because of the opponent's move."

Haneda Hideyoshi nodded.

"Then is there anyone powerful enough to capture all of the opponent's chess pieces? And use all of them for his own benefit." Mingyue looked at Haneda Hideyoshi sincerely.

Haneda Hideyoshi was stunned at first, then he laughed, "Hahahaha, if the king or jade check is taken, then this game of chess is won, right?" After that, he squatted down and looked at Mingyue at eye level, "I understand what you mean. Theoretically it should be possible, but in reality, I haven't met such a great chess player. If such a person really exists, I look forward to playing against him."

ding dong~

The train slowly stopped at the platform. After Mingyue and his group got off the train, they waved goodbye to Hideyoshi Haneda who was sitting by the window.

"Mr. Mona, do you want to learn shogi?" Yuno Xingyao suddenly said, "I can teach you."

Kudo Shinichi folded his hands behind his head and said, "I think I have a set of shogi at home. You can come to my house and play. Dad should know how to play."

Uno Seiya glanced at Kudo Shinichi and remained silent.

Mingyue smiled and said, "I want to learn more about it before deciding whether to learn it. I already know how to play each piece. To be honest, I really want to play a game with someone. Maybe the charm of shogi lies in the picking and beating of horses."

(To capture an opponent's piece; to defeat a piece = to return a captured piece to the board and use it for your own purposes.)

Mao Lilan looked at Mingyue thoughtfully.

A gaze fell on Mingyue. Mingyue turned around and saw only a bustling crowd.

"Mingyue, what are you looking at? Hurry and catch up with us. There are so many people here and we shouldn't get lost." After walking a long way, Kudo Shinichi found that Mingyue was not following him.

Yuno Xingyao looked at the map on his phone and said slowly, "Are we going in the right direction? Why do we feel like we are getting farther and farther away from that ramen restaurant?" He turned around and glanced at Mingyue who was walking slowly behind him, looking around.

Mao Lilan looked around and pointed in a direction, "We should go in this direction. We are not wrong."

Uno Xingyao put his hand on Kudo Shinichi's shoulder, handed the phone to him, and said with a smile: "Which way should we go?"

Kudo Shinichi glanced at the map, looked at Uno Seiya with his half-moon eyes, slapped off the other's hand on his shoulder, and turned to look at Maoli Ran, "Ran, are we going to the ramen shop you mentioned now?"

Mao Lilan nodded, "Yes, that ramen shop is very popular. We have to go there early, otherwise we will have to wait in line for a long time."

"Then come with me." Kudo Shinichi turned and walked towards Mingyue.

Yuno Xingyao walked up to Mingyue and whispered, "Did you realize early on that we were on the wrong road?"

Mingyue blinked and said with a smile: "No way, this is my first time here."

Kudo Shinban looked at Mingyue with half-mooned eyes, then lowered his head to look at the map on his mobile phone, secretly glanced at the pouting Mao Li Ran, and sighed imperceptibly.

Mingyue looked around and always felt that someone was watching them, but with so many people coming and going around, it was hard to tell who was watching them. She took out her phone and checked, but still found nothing. She squinted her eyes and thought about finding a reason to leave the group, because only in this way could she tell whether the gaze was directed at her or someone else.

They passed by a milk tea shop, and Mingyue said with a smile, "Would you like some milk tea? I'll treat you."

Mao Lilan frowned, "Mingyue, if we can't get to that ramen shop as soon as possible, we will definitely be late for the performance that starts at one o'clock, and we may not even be able to enter."

"Sorry, I'm really thirsty. Why don't you go to that ramen shop first, and I'll come over after I buy the milk tea. Maori, what do you want to drink?" Mingyue looked at the menu.

Uno Seiya stood next to Mingyue, looked at Kudo Shinichi and Mao Lilan, and said with a smile: "You go first, I will accompany Meng Na."

"We need to order food later!" Mao Lilan looked at Mingyue, "You can buy milk tea anytime."

Mingyue thought for a moment and said, "What kind of ramen do you guys eat? Just order me the same as you guys."

"Yeah, me too." Yuno Xingyao looked at Kudo Shinichi.

Kudo Shin nodded and said to Mao Lilan, "Xiaolan, let's go to the ramen shop first."

Mao Lilan looked at Kudo Shinichi and said helplessly: "Okay. You have to come earlier." After that, she and Kudo Shinichi continued to walk towards the ramen shop.

Mingyue rolled her eyes where Yuno Xingyao couldn't see and looked around.

"Did you find something?" Yuno Xingyao looked at the menu and said in a voice that only Mingyue could hear, "After getting off the train, you seemed to have been paying attention to the movements around you. Did you see something? You knew that you didn't have much time, but you still asked to buy milk tea. You are not the kind of person who likes to cause trouble for others."

Mingyue looked at Yuno Xingyao and said with a smile, "I'm really just thirsty. What do you want to drink? It's my treat." That gaze seemed to disappear without a trace as Kudo Shinichi left.

Isn't it directed at me? Mingyue hesitated.

"You treated me to a popsicle last time."

Mingyue paid for four cups of milk tea, "You invited me to watch the show, so don't refuse if I treat you to a cup of milk tea."

"Okay." Yuno Xingyao looked around and didn't see anyone suspicious. He took a deep breath, looked at Mingyue beside him, and waited for the waiter to make the milk tea.

Two flowers bloom, one on each side.

Mao Lilan and Kudo Shinichi walked towards the ramen restaurant, surrounded by pedestrians and vehicles coming and going.

A few children came over kicking a football. The little boy's feet were unstable and the ball deviated from its original route and flew diagonally towards Kudo Shinichi.

Kudo Shinichi saw that the football was about to roll onto the road, so he immediately stretched out his legs to intercept it under his feet. Then he lightly picked up the football with his toes, causing it to bounce on the instep of his foot a few times and then bounce on his thigh several times.

Several children stared with their eyes wide open.

"Big brother is so awesome!"

Kudo Shinichi handed the football to the child and said, "Don't play on the side of the road. Go play in the park."

"Okay!" After agreeing, several children ran away with the football.

Kudo Shinichi looked at the child running away with a warm smile on his face, and suddenly felt a real gaze falling on him. Kudo Shinichi turned his head to look over, but found nothing. He frowned slightly and thought: Is this feeling wrong?

Mao Lilan said somewhat unhappily: "We should go."

"Lan, do you feel that someone is watching us?" Kudo Shinichi looked around.

Mao Lilan crossed her arms and looked at Kudo Shinichi suspiciously, "Look at us?"

"Yes, it seems someone is following us." Kudo Shinichi looked behind him. He was expecting the other two people to appear, but he didn't see them. "Let's go find Mingyue and the others."

Mao Lilan's cheeks swelled slightly because of anger. "Shinichi, if you want to find Mingyue and the others, just tell them directly, don't make such lame excuses, okay? We are here to have fun, so you should stop playing detective games."

Kudo Shinichi felt that gaze again, looked around and said seriously: "Lan, this is not a detective game." Thinking of Mingyue who suddenly wanted to buy milk tea, could it be that Mingyue discovered something in advance?

"Hmph!" Mao Lilan stretched out her long legs and continued walking forward.

However, at this moment, a woman wearing a wide-brimmed hat came up to Mao Lilan, pointed at the photo on her phone and said, "Hello, lovely girl, I would like to ask how to get to this ramen shop?"

Mao Lilan looked at it and said with a smile: "We are going here, why don't you come with us."

"That's great." said the woman in the wide-brimmed hat with a smile.

Kudo Shinichi looked at Mouri Ran who was chatting happily with the strange woman, and followed her reluctantly, while being wary of the people passing by.

There are a few white clouds in the blue sky, high and far away, floating slowly and lightly.

Mingyue sipped her milk tea and walked into the ramen shop with Yuno Xingyao. At this time, the waiter just brought the ramen to the table.

It’s just that the original group of four has now become five people.

The woman in the wide-brimmed hat smiled and greeted Mingyue and Yuno Xingyao, "Hello!"

"Hello." Yuno Xingyao replied politely.

Mingyue looked at the strange woman in front of her, nodded, and replied, "Hello." He glanced at Mao Lilan who was smiling and Kudo Shinichi who was thinking about what was going on next to the woman, pulled out a chair and sat down, ready to enjoy the ramen that had just come out of the pot.

"This is our teacher Shirakawa's wife." Mao Lilan introduced with a smile.

The woman in the wide-brimmed hat nodded slightly and said with a smile, "My name is Shirakawa Miki. I heard from Maori-san that you are all students of my husband and you are also here to watch Sleeping Beauty. What a coincidence."

Mingyue slurped the smooth ramen and looked at the gentle and virtuous woman in front of her, her eyes full of inquiry.

"I'll treat everyone to dinner today." Miki Shirakawa raised the corners of her lips slightly. Her smile was as warm as the sunshine. Her every move, every frown and smile gave people a sense of tranquility and virtuous beauty.

Yuno Xingyao quickly waved his hands and said, "Aunt Shirakawa, this is not good."

"There's nothing wrong with it." Shirakawa Miki smiled gently and continued, "This is Hui Er's first time as a homeroom teacher. If there is anything he does not do well, please bear with me."

Mao Lilan said quickly: "Teacher Shirakawa is very kind to us, and he will eat with us at noon. Aunt Miki, the bento you make is so exquisite and tastes superb. Can you teach me?"

"Do you want to learn?" Shirakawa looked at Mao Li Ran without tenderness.

Mao Lilan nodded vigorously.

"Come to my house when you have time and I'll teach you. But it's getting late now, we should get up and go to the theater." Miki Shirakawa narrowed her eyes into crescents.

The five of them went there together, but at the theater entrance, Mingyue met an unexpected person - Suzumiya Yoruichi.

When Suzumiya Yoruichi, who was wearing gold-rimmed glasses, saw Mingyue and Maoli Ran, she walked over with a warm smile on her face, "What a coincidence, we meet again, beautiful girl and smart girl."
