Game within game: chess player

There is another point that Ye Fang is very curious about, and that is what role Russia played in this terrorist attack on the United States. Was it the perpetrator, the mastermind behind it, or the fueling factor? How did Russia learn about this terrorist attack half a year in advance? What exactly does Putin, who has just taken office as President of Russia, want to play? Will this drag Russia into despair again?

You must know that it has only been ten years since the disintegration of the former Soviet Union. Both the domestic economy and the situation faced by Russia now abroad are full of holes. How can Putin dare to provoke the giant beast of the United States at this time? .

Ye Fang really couldn't figure out how these politicians played the chess game. Maybe asking Xue Yuanshan might get some inspiration, but Ye Fang didn't dare to ask. Once this matter came out through his mouth, the disaster would definitely be terrible. trouble.

However, Ye Fang believes that his father-in-law Putin's temperament of relying on his father-in-law's plans and thinking ten steps before taking action must have a bigger plan and will never put him and Russia into a difficult situation.

"Who cares? The United States is doing my shit. I'll attack wherever I like. Anyway, I'm going to do something with this once-in-a-lifetime inside information. Otherwise, I'll be sorry for myself who was born in this era!" Ye Fang has made up his mind. Use this news to make some money, lead a group of brothers, trick your opponents, and then sit back and watch the tigers fight.

After all, he was just a commoner, he could just make a small fortune. Thinking of this, Ye Fang finally stopped. He told Putin that Ye Fang now needs to strengthen his oil reserves to cope with the blizzard of wealth after the international oil price soared. On the other hand, it is to mobilize one's own funds to take advantage of this nuclear bomb-level information gap to make money, make money, make money!

I don't know how long it took, but Ye Fang heard someone calling him from behind. He looked up and saw that it was Zhang Xiuying who had gotten up early.

"You haven't slept all night, have you?" Zhang Xiufang put on her clothes and hurried out.

At this time, Ye Fang looked up and saw that the surroundings were already dim. It must be around four o'clock in the morning. He smiled and responded, "It's okay, I'll go back to sleep right away."

Zhang Xiuying only said that Ye Fang was under too much pressure recently. She kept mumbling that Xue Yuanshan must be up to no good with Ye Fang. She hurried over and pushed Ye Fang into the room. She watched Ye Fang go to bed and said, "Hurry up and sleep. Don’t get up at ten o’clock!”

"Okay, okay, I'll sleep!" Ye Fang, who was still in a state of excitement, couldn't sleep, but in order to appease Zhang Xiuying, he had no choice but to agree. Ye Fang originally thought that he didn't have any pajamas, but he fell asleep quickly after getting wet on the pillow.

In his sleep, countless images flashed through the depths of Ye Fang's consciousness, including various explosion scenes, the sinister smiles of various political figures, and raging war scenes, which constantly bombarded Ye Fang's nerves.

Thinking about it day by day and dreaming about it at night probably refers to Ye Fang's current state. Everything that happens in his subconscious mind is a projection of his meditation during the day. In the end, Ye Fang saw seemingly countless faces shaking in front of his eyes, and it turned out to be Zha. Yed, Hamdan, and Karsi. The three men were staring at themselves with gloating expressions on their lips. They watched as they took out three pistols from behind and pointed them at themselves.

This scene was so shocking that Ye Fang sat up suddenly, then punched him and said hatefully, "You three ungrateful things!"

"Ouch!"

"what--"

Ye Fang felt a pain in his right hand, not only in his forehead. It turned out that Zayed and Hamdan got up and found Ye Fang still sleeping in. The four of them met to tease Ye Fang, but they didn't expect that the four of them had just walked to Ye Fang's bed.

Ye Fang, who suddenly sat up, collided with the heads of Hamdan and Karsi. The punch hit Zayed directly on the left side of his face. The pain made Zayed cover his face and jump. Of the two crown princes, Salman was left laughing and watching the fun, so unhappy.

Ye Fang shook his sore right hand, put on his headphones and immediately got up from the bed, quickly checking on Zayed. Zayed turned his head to Ye Fang with a bitter look on his face. Ye Fang saw that the left side of Zayed's face was a little red and swollen, and said, "It's okay, it's nothing serious. I'll have someone give you a hot compress with eggs. You'll be fine soon." alright."

"Brother, this can't be done, let's go to the hospital." Hamdan said from the side.

"Where should we go to the hospital for this minor injury?" Ye Fang Miyagi then boiled an egg and brought it over, peeled it off and rolled it gently on Zayed's face.

"Is this possible? It's safer to go to the hospital." Zayed muttered.

"Don't talk nonsense! If I take you to the hospital for this nonsense, it will be immediately classified as a diplomatic incident. You don't mind the trouble. I'm too lazy to explain." Ye Fang was rolling the eggs while talking, which was strange to say. After a few minutes, Zayed felt less swollen, and his face returned to normal. Although there was still a slight redness on his face, it was not visible at all after applying some powder.

"This is so amazing!" Salman said in surprise. He never thought that a small egg in China could be used in such a way, just like magic.

Ye Fang peeled the egg open in front of them and saw that the yolk inside had turned dark brown. Then Ye Fang threw the egg into the trash can and said, "These are all Chinese methods. You guys should learn from them." Bar."

At this time, there was suddenly a cooing sound, and then Kalsi touched her belly and smiled sheepishly.

"You haven't eaten yet?" Ye Fang looked at the time and it was already past nine in the morning.

"We haven't eaten yet. I wanted to wait for you to eat together. Didn't you say you would take us to drink that soy juice in the morning?" Zayed said.

"By the way, I forgot, there is still this matter. I will take you to Beijing's authentic snacks right away." Ye Fang said and asked Lu Jiuge to make arrangements. Ye Fang remembered that there was a breakfast spot at the corner of the street. Ye Fang was there last time. The dormitory boss I met there.

"Mr. Ye, why don't I go buy it and eat it in the garden." Lu Jiuge said that it would be too laborious to go out, and the road would have to be closed, which would disturb the neighbors.

Ye Fang thought about it, and Miyagi on the side thought of a way. He simply asked the old man at the street corner to come to the yard, and let Ye Fang and the crown princes have breakfast under the ginkgo tree in the courtyard.

"This is a good idea, let's make arrangements." Ye Fang said.

Soon, Old Li Tou, who was buying bean juice and fried dough sticks at the street corner, was invited into Xiyuan. In his more than 60 years of life, Old Li Tou had never entered such an exquisite garden. Miyagi asked people to take Old Li Tou's equipment into the Qianyuan and place it under the ginkgo tree. While walking through the palace, he told Old Li Tou the rules.

"Just make your breakfast with peace of mind. No matter who or what you see today, you are not allowed to reveal it. Do you understand?" Miyagi repeatedly explained like a manager.

"Yes, yes, I know." Old Li Tou was invited to the courtyard with some trepidation. At this time, Ye Fang and the four crown princes were already sitting at the round table under the ginkgo tree. Ye Fang saw Old Li Tou step forward and hit him. He said hello and asked, "Old man, do you still recognize me?"

Old Li looked at Ye Fang and seemed familiar. He suddenly remembered that he had met Ye Fang that morning and said quickly, "It's you. I said that people who can live in this courtyard are either rich or noble, and those who are not rich are either rich or noble." expensive."

"Old man, just feel free to fry fried dough sticks here and let those foreigners experience our old Beijing snacks." Ye Fang said with a smile.

Lao Li stretched out his head and glanced at Zayed and the others, nodded quickly and said, "Okay, okay." Then he started to work, kneading the dough again and frying the fried dough sticks. Zayed and the others who were talking immediately turned their attention to The small workshops that turned to Lao Li Tou's fried dough sticks were all impressed by Lao Li Tou's skillful techniques.

Ye Fang on the side smiled and shook his head and said, "Just this unique skill, I guarantee you guys have never seen it in the Middle East."

"Are you eating fried dough sticks and drinking bean juice today?" Xue Yuanshan's voice suddenly sounded behind Ye Fang. Only then did Ye Fang remember that there was such an important government official at home.

"You haven't gone anywhere yet. I thought you went to work early in the morning?" Ye Fang hurried over to greet Xue Yuanshan.

Xue Yuanshan glanced at Ye Fang and said with some dissatisfaction, "It sounds like you don't welcome me very much."

"How dare I do this? Come on, come on, let me introduce you." Ye Fang led Xue Yuanshan to the round table. Miyagi on the side quickly ordered someone to buy another chair, and saw him not far away. Nan Yi helped Zhang Xiuying over and quickly ordered someone to buy an extra chair.

"This is going to be a gathering of all the heroes!" Miyagi thought to himself, and quickly contacted the kitchen staff to serve the food. Although there was bean juice and fried dough sticks, Miyagi believed that people like Zayed would probably not be used to eating soy sauce, and there were Xue Yuanshan and Zhang Xiuying, so he asked the chef to prepare some more state banquet-level breakfasts.

Although Old Li Tou, who was frying fried dough sticks, didn't know people like Zayed, he was very familiar with Xue Yuanshan, who often appeared on TV. The rumors in the market made Old Li Tou feel that he could make breakfast for these people today. It's the smoke coming out of the ancestral graves. If Miyagi hadn't reminded him in time, Old Li Tou would have put his hand in the frying pan and fried it.

Although it was the first time for Crown Prince Zayed and others to come to China, someone had educated them on the high-level human relations in the capital before coming. Naturally, they were no strangers to Xue Yuanshan. When these crown princes saw Ye Fang walking over with Xue Yuanshan, they all looked at each other and stood up quickly. These crown princes were juniors both from Ye Fang's perspective and from the government level.

Of course, everyone can also see that the relationship between Ye Fang and Xue Yuanshan is unusual. This unusualness is not the interest of a political group or the unusual nepotism maintained, but more like an elder supporting the younger, and even a blood relationship. special relationship.

Ye Fang introduced Zayed and others to Xue Yuanshan. Ye Fang's introduction was unofficial, more like the feeling when a parent suddenly arrives at a gathering of friends and brothers. However, due to the current situation and Xue Yuanshan's rank and status, this time it was more like an informal official meeting.

Xue Yuanshan and Zayed were chatting with each other. Although it was a bit nondescript, no one felt anything unusual.

At this time, Zhang Xiuying also came over. After seeing Zhang Xiuying, Xue Yuanshan's attitude obviously changed, and he even felt a little guilty, more like he wanted to please. Zayed and others were surprised to see the relationship between Xue Yuanshan and Zhang Xiuying. , and even more guessing about the relationship between Ye Fang and Xue Yuanshan.

"Stop chatting, the children are hungry, let's eat." Zhang Xiuying stretched out her hand to invite everyone to sit down.

After Zhang Xiuying sat down, she immediately asked Ye Fang to sit next to her. At this time, there was only one seat left, just to Ye Fang's left. In terms of seating etiquette, this place should be where Xue Yuanshan is sitting, and then Ye Fang and Zhang Xiuying sit on either side of him. If Ye Fang sits here, then Xue Yuanshan can only sit next to Ye Fang. In this way, he will be invisible and Zhang Xiuying placed Ye Fang in the middle.

It is very rude to sit like this. After all, Xue Yuanshan's rank and status are there, not to mention that there are foreign guests like Zayed watching.

But Zhang Xiuying didn't care about this and said, "Sit down and eat!"

Ye Fang looked at Xue Yuanshan with some embarrassment. Xue Yuanshan couldn't do anything to Zhang Xiuying, so he said to Ye Fang, "Just sit down. It's just a family banquet. It's not that particular."

Seeing Xue Yuanshan sit down, Ye Fang called Zayed and others to sit down as well.

Then Miyagi asked someone to bring the bean juice and fried dough sticks, and everyone had a bowl in front of them.

"I haven't drank bean juice in many years." Xue Yuanshan said with a smile while looking at the bean juice in front of him.

Zhang Xiuying on the side said angrily, "When you become an official, you forget how ordinary people live their lives." She picked up the bean juice in front of her and took a sip.

Ye Fanggang wanted to talk to his mother, Zhang Xiuying, not to criticize Xue Yuanshan all the time. Zayed across from him imitated Zhang Xiuying and took a sip of the bean juice. When he drank it, a sour taste immediately hit his taste buds. Zayed immediately showed a pained expression and spit it out directly into the grass behind him.

Hamdan and Salman also took a sip with hesitant eyes, but had the same reaction as Zayed. Apparently they couldn't stand the taste of soy juice.

Only Karsi looked calm and looked at Zayed and others with contempt in his eyes, telling the three of them with his eyes, "Brothers are better than you!"

Xue Yuanshan saw that Kalsi had no reaction after drinking soy juice, and praised, "Beijing people are not accustomed to drinking soy juice. I didn't expect you to be able to drink it."

Ye Fang introduced Xue Yuanshan to Kalxi's experience of studying in the capital. Xue Yuanshan nodded and said, "No wonder, not bad, very good."

Being praised by Xue Yuanshan, Kalxi raised his chin even higher.

"I don't believe I can't drink it." Zayed picked up the bowl in front of him and took another sip as if he was about to die heroically. Then he swallowed it hard before the liquid attacked his taste buds.

Soon an aftertaste in his mouth made Zayed look painful. Then Ye Fang handed Zayed a fried dough stick. Zayed ate it in a few bites. After eating the fried dough stick, Zayed felt much better. .

At this time, Zayed suddenly felt a faint sweetness on the coating of his tongue, and a faint fragrance of beans. Zayed seemed to have discovered a new world at this time, and felt that the thing in front of him was a bit sour and smelled like swill. The food doesn't taste that bad anymore.

Ye Fang couldn't help laughing when he saw Zayed and the others drinking bean juice. Even Xue Yuanshan and Zhang Xiuying next to him were smiling. Although the scene in front of him was nondescript, there seemed to be an inexplicable warm atmosphere in the air. , making everyone feel comfortable.

"I heard that you didn't sleep all night last night? Is there something wrong?" Xue Yuanshan suddenly asked. His expression was not that of a superior or a subordinate, but more like that of an elder. He could see Zayed opposite him. While eating, the person paid attention to Ye Fang's reaction.

"It's nothing, I'm just thinking about some random things." Ye Fang replied casually.

"If you arrange less things for your child, he can live a more comfortable life." Zhang Xiuying said with resentment.

Hearing Zhang Xiuying's words, Zayed and Hamdan stopped their dishes and looked at each other. At this time, everyone had a guess in their hearts: "Is Ye Fang Xue Yuanshan's illegitimate son?"
