The Greatest Village Doctor In The World-Chapter 1813 - 1812: Playing Chess

Feng Ling pursed her lips, nodded and said, "Okay!"

Just as Ling Feng was about to instruct the driver to speed up towards the mountains, the phone rang again.

It was Buddha Master calling. After answering, the old man asked, "You know the latest situation, right?"

"I know. What’s your take on it, sir?" Ling Feng asked.

"Master Kong Kong and I are already on our way to Guo City. Keep an eye on Liya’s movements first. If you really can’t find her, we’ll talk after we meet. Remember, don’t take any drastic actions before we arrive!" Buddha Master said.

Ling Feng was taken aback, sensing that he knew something, and quickly asked, "Can’t you just tell me over the phone, sir?"

"Don’t worry. We’ll arrive in two hours. Let’s talk when we meet."

Buddha Master said this and then directly hung up.

With no choice, Ling Feng sighed and said, "Let’s keep chasing. If we enter the mountains and still don’t find a trace, we might be going in the wrong direction, and we can’t continue the pursuit!"

"If they don’t go into the mountains, where else can they go?" Feng Ling asked.

"The enemy is cunning; they might have doubled back or changed direction to another city. After all, the military stepped in to announce the takeover of power, clearly well-prepared. They were waiting for Liya!" Ling Feng said.

Feng Ling’s large eyes were full of confusion, but then she realized, "You mean Liya was taken by the military?"

"That’s a strong possibility!"

Ling Feng nodded and continued, "Don’t worry, no matter who it is, if they dare to mess with my friends, the price they pay will be very steep!"

Sure enough, after the car entered the mountains, Ling Feng still did not find any trace of Liya, and the narrow mountain roads showed no signs of new tire tracks, indicating that they had searched in the wrong direction!

So Ling Feng immediately instructed the driver to turn around and head back to Guo City.

After a few reassuring words from him, Feng Ling was less anxious, though there remained a trace of worry in her eyes.

Seeing her like this, Ling Feng didn’t know what to say, so he just held her hand.

Back at the hotel in Guo City, Ling Feng asked her to wash up and change clothes, while he sat on the sofa, deep in thought, waiting for Buddha Master and Master Kong Kong.

After freshening up, Feng Ling appeared revitalized, no longer looking disheveled. Ling Feng smiled at the sight: "That’s much better. Don’t always look so worried!"

"Are you really sure Liya will be okay?" Feng Ling asked.

"You can rest assured!" 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Ling Feng smiled and reassuringly patted her head.

They waited for another half hour or so, and then Buddha Master and Master Kong Kong arrived.

Welcoming them upstairs, upon meeting them, and seeing their worried faces, Ling Feng knew they were also concerned about Liya’s safety.

So he immediately asked, "Buddha Master, do you know something?"

"That’s right. I just found out and rushed over."

Buddha Master nodded, sitting down and said, "No need to worry. Although Liya was captured, her life is not in danger. The military still has big plans for her!"

Ling Feng squinted: "So it was indeed the army?"

"It seems so at present."

Buddha Master nodded and continued, "My friends within the government are all anxious because the military has already entered the parliament building, controlling the situation. The current prime minister, having received prior information, has already left."

"In that case, won’t the whole country be in chaos?" Ling Feng asked.

"Yes, society is bound to be chaotic!"

After Buddha Master nodded, he looked at Ling Feng and asked, "Do you have any good solutions?"

"Regardless of anything else, first, Liya must be released. Second, my company here must not be affected, or else, no matter who it is, I won’t let it go!" Ling Feng said.

"Hmm, that can be understood!"

Buddha Master smiled and continued, "But have you considered that once the entire Mianluo country’s military gathers, there could be thousands, tens of thousands in each city? How do you, alone, deal with that?"

"It’s a bit difficult, but not an insurmountable problem!" Ling Feng said.

Upon hearing this, Buddha Master and Master Kong Kong both looked shocked, not expecting Ling Feng to have such formidable abilities.

Yet, despite this, Master Kong Kong still said calmly, "Ling Feng, even if you alone are capable of confronting thousands of soldiers, you can’t stop them instantly, can you? What if ordinary citizens get hurt in the battle?"

"This..."

Ling Feng was taken aback, then chuckled bitterly, "To be honest, I hadn’t thought of that, because I’ve never expected to face something like this!"

"So, it’s not a bad idea to calm down and let the situation develop a little," Master Kong Kong said.

Ling Feng looked at him, "Master, Liya is your disciple. Aren’t you really worried about her safety?"

"It’s precisely because of Master Kong Kong’s presence, coupled with Princess Liya’s identity, that we don’t have to worry about her safety!"

Buddha Master smiled and continued, "Ling Feng, don’t overthink this. We’re all on Liya’s side. What we say to you isn’t to make you retreat, but to hope we can sit down and talk things over peacefully!"

"Alright then!"

Ling Feng smiled, "I would never question your motives. Since you’ve come all this way, I can’t ignore your counsel!"

"Good, thank you!"

Master Kong Kong nodded, taking out a go board from his cloth bag and placing it on the table.

Seeing it was a go board, Ling Feng was surprised: "Master, are you going to play a game with me?"

"Since there’s nothing else, why not have a game or two?" Master Kong Kong smiled.

Ling Feng was speechless, thinking, at a time like this, there’s still a mood to play go?

So he chuckled bitterly, shook his head, and said, "Sorry, Master, apart from knowing the black and white pieces, I know nothing about it, neither the rules!"

"No problem, once I tell you, you’ll naturally understand!"

Master Kong Kong smiled, opened the board, and took out a white piece to place on the board.

Seeing this, Ling Feng thought, let’s play then, and took a black piece to place next to the white one.

Kong Kong looked up at him, "If we consider this board as the entire Earth, and our moves as Huaxia, how many threats do you think surround it?"

Ling Feng paused, looked down, and said, "In my understanding, all the surrounding countries are threats!"

"Good!"

Master Kong Kong nodded and successively placed seven or eight white pieces on the board, subtly forming a siege around the black piece.

Afterward, he looked at Ling Feng, "Now with the black piece, see how you can break out of the encirclement?"

"This..."

Feeling a bit confused, Ling Feng thought, not knowing the rules, how am I supposed to know how to play?

However, after some thought, he directly took away a white piece: "Breaking through the siege is too taxing, might as well destroy one, and the encirclement will be open!"
