Volume 1 The Scenery of Chu Chapter 23 Zhao Yan'er, a Divine Chess Girl
It is said that the envoys of the Three Kingdoms had arrived in Chu half a month before the queen's birthday, and after arranging their accommodation, they met Chu Jun and the queen.
A prince Zhao Siyun and a princess Zhao Yan'er came to the Qi Kingdom, as well as several officials, and an entourage to escort a hundred soldiers.
The law of Chu stipulates that the envoy who enters Chu can only bring a maximum of a hundred attendant guards!
Two princes and retinue guards came from the Qin state, and only one prince and retinue escort came from the Wei state.
After settling down, Zhao Siyun, the prince of Qi State, shouted that he wanted to go to Chu Capital to play, and the princess of Qi State couldn't help it, so she took ten guards and Chen Pi, the Qing of Qi Honglu Temple, to visit Kyoto.
Chu is the political and commercial center of Chu and is the most prosperous place in Chu State. The streets of Kyoto are bustling with people and traffic.
One day, the commercial street specialized in selling the most popular things in Chu and other countries on the mainland, and there were also some acrobatics.
They looked all the way and were drawn to the past by this new city. But they found a particularly strange sight, a group of people gathered around at a distance, and even in a restaurant, a group of people could be seen gathered together, and shouting some strange words!
"Eat his car!"
"Top Soldier!"
"General his army!"
。。。。。。
"Sister, what are these people doing, there seems to be something particularly interesting!"
Prince Qi asked his sister Zhao Yan'er beside him, and Zhao Yan'er shook her head and said that she didn't know either.
"Princess, why don't we go and see?"
Tangerine peel suggested.
"Good!"
So under the crowding of the guards, they finally squeezed in, and the people who were squeezed out of the way shouted not to squeeze me, but they didn't dare to make a noise when they saw a group of officers and soldiers.
They saw something on the table that looked like a chessboard, and the two were playing against each other.
"Is this chess?"
Prince Qi guessed.
The person next to him heard this, and said proudly: "Yes, this is a new kind of chess from our Chu State, called Xiangqi, which is particularly interesting!"
"Chess?"
Princess Yan'er said suspiciously, this was the first time she had heard of it, and she had never seen it before.
"Yes! It is said that Lord Shoufu dedicated it to Chu Jun and then came out of the palace. The princes and nobles are playing this, and now everyone in Kyoto knows about it! ”
The man said triumphantly, looking at them like a bunch of hillbillies.
So, the three princesses watched from the side, seeing what was so special about chess.
She found that the two pieces were the same, and each had a special function and a special way of moving.
Like a car, you can go straight or sideways, and if you can't go straight, you need to go straight to eat each other's seeds.
Horses walk the days, each other walks the fields, but they can't cross the river.
The pawn can only walk forward or left and right, not backward, and can only walk one block.
And the generals of all parties can only be in a field-shaped area, and cannot go out, just like the imperial palace.
She was already good at playing Go, and after understanding the basic moves of chess, she got started.
If the third prince Zhang Chuchen was next to her, she would definitely call her a genius, and after watching it for a while, she would know how to play.
After watching a few more games, she found that this chess game was like arranging troops, first laying out several formations, and then the two sides began to lay out.
"I don't know who invented this chess, it's wonderful!"
Chen Pi praised.
"Definitely! Although I said that there is no one in Daqi who is invincible in Go, but I can't make such a move! ”
Princess Yan'er sighed.
"Princess Yan'er doesn't have to be self-conscious, Princess Yan'er's great talent, maybe this chess player is not your opponent!"
Chen Pi said that in terms of playing chess, what he admires most is the princess Yan'er in front of him.
At the age of three, he knew chess, and at the age of four, he was inseparable from the master of Go, and after the age of five, the entire Qi country was unbeatable.
We call such people geniuses! Go Genius!
"Lord Chen has won the prize!"
Princess Yan'er said modestly.
"Do you want to give it a try?"
Tangerine peel suggested.
"It's good! Give it a try! ”
Smoke should arrive.
"My sister will definitely be able to kill them without leaving a piece of armor!"
Prince Qi admires his sister the most about playing chess.
"Ladies and gentlemen, my young lady also wants to play this chess, I wonder if it's okay?" Chen Pi asked.
Everyone saw that the young lady he was talking about was a ten-year-old girl, so they said, "Where did you come from, little girl, go back and show your flowers!"
Immediately caused everyone to laugh!
"You just asked me what it is? It means that you have never seen chess, and now you say that you want to play chess, do you think you are the princess of Qi Yan'er? The person who introduced them just now laughed, and then said: "Even if you are the princess of Qi Guoyan'er, then this is not Go, it is chess!"
Hahaha!
As soon as this man said this, everyone burst into laughter!
"You? Do you know who we are? ”
Where has Prince Qi been so angry, he will be angry!
"Siyun can't!"
Princess Smoke stops her grumpy brother.
"But sister, that's what they say...
Before Prince Qi could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Princess Yan'er.
"Say no more!"
"Okay!"
Prince Qi should be aggrieved.
Chen Pi smiled and took out a tael of silver ingots from his sleeve, a full fifty taels!
Bite!
Everyone's eyes lit up!
"If any of you can win against my young lady, you can take the fifty taels of silver. But if you lose, you have to apologize to my young lady! ”
Chen Pi said.
"Good! According to what you said, we don't want your money, we just want your young lady to see what a chess master is! ”
The man said it in a high-sounding manner, just now he said that he was a little girl, and now he said that he wanted to let people see and understand.
Man, it's all about one mouth!
One of them got up and let out.
Princess Yan'er sat down, and the two sides began to set up their chess pieces.
Due to the first time she played, Princess Yan'er played slowly, and playing chess herself was completely different from watching from the sidelines.
"Hurry up, wait until we're all thankful for the flowers!"
Someone next to him made a fuss, which caused another laugh.
"Come on, sister!"
Prince Qi is cheering for Princess Yan'er next to him!
Princess Yan'er was engrossed in the chessboard, and did not hear any voices from the outside world.
And his opponent, from the initial contempt, gradually began to get serious. Although the girl on the opposite side walked slowly, every step was reasonable, and she was getting slower and slower!
The crowd of onlookers didn't care at all at first, how could they be able to play for the first time.
And Chen Pi, who was watching from the side, nodded, Princess Yan'er is indeed very talented in playing chess!
"General!"
Princess Yan'er pushed a cart up, with her own general in the middle. Shouting these strange and fresh words means that she has won!
"How so?"
"She actually won?"
"Is this really the first time to play?"
。。。。。。
Everyone was shocked, and the game they thought they would win was actually lost, and they felt that they had lost fifty taels of silver.
"Hahaha, my sister is the best!"
A person stood next to him and said, as if he wanted to save face, "What you just said, does it count?"
"Of course it counts!"
Chen Pi said confidently, he was full of confidence in Princess Yan'er.
So the man sat down, and the two sides set up their chess pieces again and began to play against each other.
After a while, the man was defeated.
"This..."
"Playing for the first time?"
"Genius?"
Then some people didn't want to believe it, and sat down opposite Princess Yan'er one by one, Princess Yan'er went faster and faster, but the person opposite went down slower and slower.
Another person has been defeated!
"Okay, I'm tired, let's go down tomorrow!"
After speaking, Princess Yan'er got up, and everyone hurriedly got out of the way!
It was a tribute to her, and she conquered them all.
The next day, Princess Yan'er came to the place where she was playing chess yesterday.
There were already a lot of people waiting there, there was a person sitting in front of the chessboard, and there was an empty seat, which I prepared for her!
It's the same result again!
There is no one to come here today!
"I'm tired, let's go down tomorrow!"
Princess Yan'er said as she did yesterday.
However, they knew that this was to give them time to find someone, this little girl, to challenge the chess masters of the entire Kyoto, and even the entire Chu State.
As soon as the news came out, they were all shocked!
On the third day, she still appeared at the same time, in the same place, but the opponent changed batch after batch, but the result was the same!
On the fourth day, there was no opponent left!
She just came to sit for a while, and found that no one dared to sit down on the other side, so she left again!
Since then, the people of Kyoto have given her a title!
Chess girl!
Invincible!
When the news reached the palace, Lin Zhiqing suggested to Chu Jun that the third prince Zhang Chuchen should go to war to win back face for the Chu State.
But only to get two cold responses: "Boring!"
