Chapter 123: Playing Chess
"That's right." Qi Yinlang didn't hide it, and responded with a light smile.
"I once heard that a hundred years ago, Qiu Jiwen and Ji Canghai used this chess to win the world's major events in one day in the four seas, and then this chess piece disappeared, and I never thought that it was Brother Qi who collected it." Zhu Ziyu twisted up a white horse-shaped chess piece and said while watching.
It's just that inexplicably, You Xiaoya thinks that this Zhu Ziyu has something to say? Could it be that there is something so profound about this chess game?
Qiu Jiwen, Ji Canghai...... You Xiaoya searched for information about these two people from You Xiaoya's memory bank, and it took a long time to find it from an almost ignored corner.
It turns out that these two people are legendary prophets and the like, and they have let go of some words about the survival between the new dynasty and the old country, saying that they want to change the fortunes of a country with their own strength.
In the end, Ji Canghai's prophecy came true, and the Qi Zhou Dynasty replaced the previous dynasty, but these are just some things similar to legends in You Xiaoya's memory, and there is no way to check them at all, and in You Xiaoya's opinion, these have nothing to do with her at all, so there is no need to bother to compare the truth.
"This is just an accidental acquisition from a beggar many years ago." Qi Yinlang explained the matter.
"Chess is just a thing for recreation, how can there be so much attention to fame?" You Xiaoya took out the chess pieces in the box and placed them on the chessboard one by one.
"What Madame said is that chess is naturally only used to play." Qi Yinlang also agreed with what You Xiaoya said, and also took out the chess pieces and laid them out one by one.
Zhu Ziyu glanced at Qi Yinlang's unusually amiable appearance, and he didn't feel anything in his heart. But when he turned his head and saw You Xiaoya, he was unwilling to be the boss in his heart, and said. Is it okay for him and her to be in the same group......
When the two of them put the chess pieces on the chessboard, they heard a long shout outside, and shouted in a singing voice: "Start the boat-"
Then the entire hull slowly moved with a slight shaking, You Xiaoya looked out through the window, because it was already five or six o'clock in the afternoon, and most of the sun had set, leaving only half orange and half gray clouds on the horizon. I don't know who wins and who loses.
"Madam, your chess pieces ......" After You Xiaoya retracted his gaze, Qi Yinlang pointed to the chess pieces placed by You Xiaoya with some embarrassment.
You Xiaoya was reminded. glanced at his chess pieces and then at Qi Yinlang's chess pieces, "Is this elephant behind the horse?" ”
"Could it be that Mrs. used to play chess with horses behind elephants?" Qi Yinlang was not hypocritical, and as he spoke, he changed the position of the horse and the elephant, as if he planned to follow the rules that You Xiaoya was familiar with.
"It's a difference in the placement. I wonder if there will be a difference in the rules? You Xiaoya said to Qi Yinlang's actions that she admired such a gentlemanly demeanor. But since it's the end of the game, it's good to unify the rules, so as not to affect the interest with more complications on the way.
Then the two had a communication on the rules of playing chess, and the rules generally did not change much, so after an agreement, the war officially began.
The reason why You Xiaoya can play chess and is still a little interested is because in the early years, his grandfather had the best mouthful. Every time she went to her grandmother's house, she always called her grandfather home for dinner in the afternoon. And every time he went to call him, he played chess under the old locust tree at the end of the village.
Her grandfather is a well-known chess addict in the village when he plays chess, and he often squats for a game of chess for an afternoon or a whole day, and You Xiaoya has been so nurtured by him for many years, so she naturally learned a little, although she is not very good, but she can occasionally win her grandfather once or twice.
You Xiaoya's chess is similar to her, many times she is barbaric and domineering, and there are almost no routines to be found, but her sense of purpose is very strong, she rarely goes to the layout of the whole game, and most of them are concise and bright and directly pointing at the opponent's general.
Therefore, many times, her chess pieces are all dead miserably, but because her moves are extremely effective, the opponent will not be much better, and in the end, it is often the result of a piece of wind and sorrow and only the handsome opponent.
Although the final situation is so embarrassing, as long as they have played chess with You Xiaoya, they will have the same feeling, that is, refreshing!
There are not many complicated minds to judge the layout of the opponent's ideas, because her sense of rhythm is fast, so many times the rhythm of the whole game of chess is also a lot faster.
Although I hardly thought about it after every step, I couldn't help but feel a little regretful when I looked back, but after thinking about it again, I felt that at that time, under You Xiaoya's persecution, it seemed that only walking like that was the best result.
It's a strange feeling, it seems contradictory but there is no sense of disobedience at all, of course, it is precisely because of this that it makes people feel too strange.
So after the first game of chess, You Xiaoya and Qi Yinlang had a draw.
"I take the liberty of asking, I don't know where Madame's chess is learned?" After putting all the chess pieces on the chessboard again, Qi Yinlang finally asked the doubt in his heart.
"What did the previous teacher teach?" You Xiaoya replied with a blank face.
"I just think that Madame's chess must be extremely powerful, right?"
Qi Yinlang has lived for such a long time, although chess is not as good as his Go master, but in the circle he knows, he is also considered to be the top, but he didn't expect that a little woman like You Xiaoya could also tie with him, I can't say that he was shocked.
"It's not extremely powerful, but in my opinion, he is indeed powerful." You Xiaoya thought of her grandfather's appearance dancing at the chess eyebrows, obviously an old man in his sixties and seventies, but he was more passionate than many young people.
"No wonder Madame's chess skills are so good." Qi Yinlang's sentence is the truth.
"......" Hearing Qi Yinlang say this, You Xiaoya only smiled and did not answer, after all, she knew her virtue in playing chess.
Her grandfather also said that if she didn't win the first two games of chess, it would not be so easy to beat her opponent later.
Because her chess moves are too simple, the whole thing is such a momentum that is not afraid of heaven and earth, and she will be bluffed at the beginning of the fight, if she encounters someone who has no bottom in her heart, she will definitely be scared to death in three or two strokes. But if you meet someone with better psychological quality, it is estimated that it will not be so easy to be led by her nose.
At first, You Xiaoya didn't believe her grandfather's words, but later experience proved that this was the truth, so at this time, after many years of thinking slowly, You Xiaoya also made some changes to her chess moves, such as what she should do when she encounters someone like Qi Yinlang who is not easy to be led by her nose.
