Lin Duowen shook his head, this year is obviously impossible, these people will leave at most in the spring of next year, so they must be better than the year before.

When Lin Duo heard that the two of them would shoot together, if there was a chance of winning, Liu Shufu and Shi Budo shook their heads, saying that even if they won in this way, they would not win.

Lin Duo thought the same, saying that in this situation, they still know too little about Xiuce, so it is better to let Xiuce play a few more rounds.

The two nodded, and they exchanged their chess skills. Lin Duowen looked at it there.

Next, there are chess pieces to be played every three or five times, and the results are all failures.

On the sixth day of the first month of October, the sage summoned Lin Duowen again, and at the beginning he asked Lin Duowen if he had found a virtuous talent.

When Lin Duowen didn't know how to answer, the sage said to Lin Duowen: "Lin Duowen, when you held the chess meeting, I already knew about Xiuce, you knew about Xiuce, and the one you raised Shi Budo is sure to beat Xiuce." ”

Lin Duowen explained the matter, and after the sage heard it, he said to Lin Duowen: "I don't care what method you use, as long as you can beat this trick on the chessboard, you can do it." ”

Lin Duowen said yes, and he will definitely do his best to do this well.

After Lin Duowen went, he had to go to Chu Jishan to ask what should be done about this matter, Chu Jishan asked Lin Duowen if these two people could beat Xiuce together, Lin Duowen said that he was not completely sure.

Chu Jishan said that now he has no choice, if Lin Duowen can find a few people who can beat Xiuce, he will have a way.

Lin Duowen said that now he doesn't know where to look for it, almost all the people who know how to play chess in the world have come here, and the rest are basically nameless, which has no name, and it is also difficult for him to find it.

Chu Jishan said that no matter what, he had to find someone, this matter was related to the face of the court, and he couldn't be sloppy.

Lin Duowen could only say yes, when he returned home, he began to think about it, he thought of Chen Qiuzhun, but Chen Qiuzhun's chess skills may not be stronger than chess.

On the morning of the seventh day of the new year, someone asked to see him, and Lin Duowen invited him in, this time visiting a handsome scholar, but his eyes were very small, as if they were squinting.

After Lin Duowen invited him to sit down, the scholar said that his name was Zhu Jixin, and he came to the capital to assist Lin Duowen at the invitation of Lin Shaowen.

Lin Duowen hurriedly thanked him, and then asked Lin Duowen if he had any chess games for the past few days, so he could study it.

Lin Duowen naturally had it, so he took the salary to the backyard.

Zhu Jixin took the chess game and put it up, he pondered while setting the chess game, these few games, he has been putting it until the evening, and in the evening, Zhu Jixin said to Lin Duowen: "I'm sorry, Master Hou, this person is far better than me, Xiaosheng is difficult to help you with this." ”

Lin Duowen asked Zhu Ji to stay for the time being, he still has two chess players here, his chess skills are good, and now he is studying how to deal with this show.

After listening to this, Zhu Jixin nodded.

After the three of them met the next day, they played a game with each other, and found that everyone's chess strength was about the same.

Lin Duowen asked if the three of them could defeat Xiuce if they joined forces, and the three of them looked at each other, then shook their heads, and said that they were not sure of victory.

Lin Duowen asked them to study, and strive to be able to beat Xiuce in the year.

When it was twelve, when Lin Duowen was at a loss, someone came to visit again, and Lin Duowen met him, only to see a man who was gorgeously dressed, behaved elegantly, and showed good upbringing.

The other is holding a fan in his hand, his eyes are uncertain, looking around, his demeanor is frivolous, and he is not only playing with the fan in his hand.

Lin Duowen inquired and learned that these two people were Fan Shimin and Huang Shilong.

The two of them were also invited by Lin Shaowen to come here to assist Lin Duowen.

After Lin Duo heard this, he was happy in his heart, and at this time Huang Shilong opened his fan and said: "That Xiuce is just a point better than chess and others, if I play with him alone, the victory or defeat is five or five, but now that Brother Juede is helping, the two of us will play him alone, and the chance of winning will be eighty percent." ”

Seeing that Huang Shilong said it so easily, Lin Duowen subconsciously felt that this Huang Shilong was a little unreliable, but now he still asked the two if they wanted to see Xiuce's chess game.

The two nodded and agreed, so after arriving in the backyard, Lin Duowen also introduced the other three to them, and Huang Shilong just saluted indifferently and looked down on the appearance of these three people.

The three of them naturally had anger in their hearts, they first asked Huang Shilong to set up a score, so as to see how this Huang Shilong was able, if Huang Shilong's skills were not enough, they would not be polite.

When Huang Shilong set up the score, his expression was still very arrogant, not playing with the fan in his hand, but when he got to the back, he bit his lower lip tightly, revealing a contemplative look.

Halfway through this chess game, Huang Shilong said: "What is this Xiu Ce, who is sacred, and has such chess power." ”

Fan Shimin also stopped at this time, looked at Huang Shilong and said, "It seems that we have all underestimated this show." ”

Huang Shilong said yes, and then continued to put the score, and after reading a few scores, Huang Shilong had no smug look on his face.

Looking at their appearance, Lin Duowen knew that these two people had no chance of winning.

Lin Duowen also said that they were also tired along the way, so it was better to rest earlier, and as for the matter of playing chess, it was better to wait until tomorrow.

Huang Shilong nodded, and went down to rest with Fan Shimin first.

The next day, the five chess players competed in the backyard, and in this competition, everyone found that the opponent was not bad, and the contempt was much less.

After Lin Duo smelled it, they were already almost at it, Lin Duowen asked them how the competition was, and all five of them said that the other party's chess skills were not bad.

Because Lin Duowen asked if the five of them were sure of going together, the five of them must have nodded, so Lin Duowen went to find Chu Jishan, and after Chu Jishan heard it, he said to Lin Duowen: "The five people are almost there, tonight, we will go to see Xiuce." ”

In the evening, Chu Jishan changed into regular clothes, and Lin Duo smelled the post house, at this time, Xiuce and they had already returned, and when they saw Chu Jishan and them, they said with a smile: "Lin Houye, Chu Zhaoyin, the two of you are here, what is the so-called matter?" ”

Chu Jishan said that he was here to visit Xiuce, so he also asked the envoy to help introduce him.

Zheng naturally couldn't refuse, so he took them to Xiuce's room, in Xiuce's room, Xiuce was playing chess, and when he saw them coming, he didn't pay attention.

There are some apologies that this Xiuce will be engrossed in the game and don't know what is going on in the outside world, so I ask them to forgive me.

Chu Jishan said that only by devoting themselves to playing chess so wholeheartedly can they have such chess power as Xiuce, and their affairs are not in a hurry, they can take their time.

Lin Duowen watched Xiuce play chess, and this game turned out to be the same chess that was used to treat Zhao yesterday.

Lin Duowen has been accompanying Zhu Ji to review them in the past few days, and he also remembered this chess game.

However, Xiuce's chess game is different from the original game, and in his opinion, it is more subtle.

When Xiuce finished, he calculated the stickers, and then started to get down again, not caring about the three people in the room.

Seeing this situation, the envoy said that he was going to wake up Xiuce, but Chu Jishan said no, they still had to talk about this matter to the envoy.

Therefore, Chu Jishan and the envoy left here, and Chu Jishan said to the envoy: "That's the case, we have five national players here, and their chess skills are good, but because of their identity, it's not good to go down one floor at a time." ”

"It turned out to be such a trivial matter, since Chu Zhaoyin and you are a national player, then naturally there is no need for this."

Chu Jishan also said at this time: "But they are also arrogant and unwilling to fall behind, this fight is not a way, so the official thought of a stupid way to let Xiuce go down with the five of them." ”

When the envoy heard this, he sneered in his heart, which is arrogant, this is to win more than few, and five people fight to show one person.

Chu Jishan knew the envoy's thoughts, and said to the envoy: "In this way, this is a little unfair, but the five of them also said that if any of the five of them loses, the five of them will lose." ”

Speaking of this way, it seems that Xiuce took advantage, which is actually a little embarrassing, but he has some worries, the Central Plains is rich in resources, and the people are outstanding, what if one of them can pass Xiuce?

Now that these five people are together, one can win one, which makes Xiuce think that Xiuce has this ability.

It was difficult to make a decision, saying that this matter had to be asked to Xiuce, and Xiuce agreed.

Chu Jishan said that he was not in a hurry, they disturbed.

Just as they were leaving them to eat, the two of them also excused themselves. Finally, he exchanged a few words with the envoy and left the inn

After Lin Duo smelled the carriage, he said to Chu Jishan: "Brother Chu, this seems to be a little ......"

"If the five can't win all, how can the people of the world be convinced." Chu Jishan said helplessly, and said to Lin Duowen: "This matter has come to this point, they give in, we have to give in, Shi Jian, Shi Jian, you have the burden of the court on your shoulders." ”

Lin Duowen also sighed helplessly, and asked Chu Jishan if they should answer this matter.

"I will definitely agree, how can the people of Xuanwu Kingdom know about our affairs, even if we do, we dare not say that there is no one who is better than Xiuce in this world. That being the case, this is their best chance. ”

When Chu Jishan said this, he paused and said: "This is also our last chance, if your five people can't win, then there will be no one in the court, and this face will be lost." When the time comes, you and I can only resign and ask for guilt. ”

Lin Duowen said that the saint explained this matter to himself, and he would never involve Chu Jishan, and it would be enough for him to bear all the responsibilities alone.

When Chu Jishan heard this, he told Lin Duowen: "Shi Jian, let's not talk about the matter of pleading guilty, you go and tell the five of them, if they win, they will naturally be waiting for the edict and sealing the country." ”
