Chapter Eighty-Nine: A Difficult Game of Chess
In the flower hall, Zhang Xun and the old man with snow-white hair had solemn expressions and looked at the chessboard in the center. On the chessboard, two black and two white chess pieces shine brightly on the diagonal star. It's like two teams of soldiers waiting for an opportunity to move, attacking the vast world at any time.
Jun Ruochen, who was dressed in white, was gentle and elegant, with a gentle smile on his handsome face, and his clear eyes looked at the other side of the road freely and uninhibitedly.
"Brother Lu, Chengdu Mansion has been separated for more than a year, and I didn't expect to meet today, but we have become an invincible opponent. Brother Lu, you are two years old, how about letting the younger brother take the lead in white? ”
In this chess game, white can naturally gain a certain advantage. In order to win, Jun Ruochen did not hesitate to use his age as an excuse, and was willing to start, and it seems that he is determined to recruit relatives and sons-in-law for this Wang family.
There was an indifferent smile in his eyes, and he raised his hand and made a gesture of please, but he didn't care about this dispute between his superiors and his subordinates.
The white-haired old man stroked his long beard and smiled meaninglessly. But Zhang Xun glanced at the road coldly, and he became more and more displeased with the superficial and proud road.
In the courtyard, a subordinate of the Wang family hurriedly came over and handed him a chess game for the opening game of the king's paid disciple.
"Everyone, everyone! Everyone imagined that the fierce battle between the upper and lower hands did not happen. If the prince of Qinhou Mansion is in charge of white first, it seems that this son of the road is very confident. ”
A group of people who followed Gu Xihua to bet on the road looked at Gu Xihua with a bitter face. Gu Xihua kept playing drums in her heart, but she had a confident smile on her face.
"It's not that you don't know that guy's virtues, he is giggling on the surface, but in his heart he stinks so badly that his tail will go up to the sky. The more he does this, the more sure he is, doesn't he? ”
The others stared at Gu Xihua in disbelief, Gu Xihua was a little panicked, and pointed to the chessboard in the middle: "The chess game has begun, take a look first, take a look first." ”
In the layout stage, the two players in the game are very cautious, and their moves are solid, which seems a little bland. Before you know it, the game has reached the middle game.
The man who was talking about chess bowed slightly: "You look like this chess game is very bland, but in fact, this black Lu Gongzi, who hides needles in the cotton, has slowly moved back the disadvantage of the back hand." Now the question is what to do with the huge position of white against the left of black. ”
The group of people behind Gu Xihua breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on their faces.
An old man in rich clothes and gray hair stared at the black square's formation. Turning his head to look at the chess speaker: "Liu Zhizhao, you and Mr. Wang Jixin, the chess saint, are both Hanlin chess to be edicted." The skill is naturally extraordinary, how do you think it is better to deal with this huge formation of Black? ”
Liu Beizhao smiled slightly, picked up a white character, and placed it in a place not far or close to the black formation, which was not painful or itchy.
"This move is called elimination, and it can also be called flirting. It's like meeting a beautiful little lady on the street and pretending to touch her inadvertently. If she pushes half and doesn't resist, I'll take advantage of the situation and get a good thing. If she resists fiercely, I will turn around and leave, but it can be regarded as taking advantage of something, right? ”
This Liu Beizhao's language was funny and easy to understand, which caused a group of men to laugh.
"Yes!" The old man nodded again and again: "In this way, the black chess will start to have a headache." ”
Liu Beizhao laughed smugly, and at this time, another chess game was sent from the Wang family, Liu Beizhao looked at it carefully, and his face changed, which was very exciting.
"What's wrong? What's going on? Let's talk about it. The crowd screamed.
Liu Beizhao put the white word all the way down, and muttered: "How confident it must be to play this chess move deep into the enemy camp." It's like meeting the lady from before, and touching it directly on the chest. I'm going to tease you, what can you do with me. ”
"Naturally, it was a sword to cut off his claws, can he make people endure this!" A gruff voice rang out from the crowd, causing everyone to burst into laughter.
"Liu waits for recruitment, what are your good countermeasures to deal with this hand?" The old man asked again.
Liu Beizhao pondered for a while: "This move seems to be domineering and fierce, but it is a bit excessive. As long as the black chess is a small tip here, it forces the white characters to flee outward, and even the play is eliminated, and the victory can be won in one fell swoop. ”
Those who bet heavily on Jun Ruochen suddenly turned ugly. A small number of bets on the road, and the group of people who Gu Xihua cheered, as if the victory had already arrived.
"However, this road boy is arrogant, extraordinary." Liu Beizhao moved the black chess piece of Xiaojian upward, and it immediately became a town like Mount Tai overpowering. "This momentum is simply a crime against my Tang Dynasty, although it is far away, it will be punished!"
The old man is also a person who knows chess, he looked at it carefully and shook his head: "Although this town is arrogant, there are many places where the loser is tossing and turning, and it is difficult to annihilate them all, difficult, difficult!" ”
"This fight is too complicated, I can't see it clearly, it's hard to say the outcome or defeat, it's really hard to say." Liu Beizhao bowed his head silently and carefully studied the chess game.
"I knew it, I knew it! Isn't it okay for this guy to win steadily, he has to eat the other party's invading son, and he is satisfied. Gu Xihua chattered indignantly, and the faces of the group of people around her became uneasy again.
In this strangulation, the two sides made frequent and wonderful moves, which made Liu Zhizhao, who was talking about chess, amazed. However, in the end, because of the wide chess path, white chess, a big dragon, has faintly seen the dawn of escaping from the ascension.
The game has been passed here, and it has been a long time since a new score has been passed down. It seems that the road to blackness has fallen into a difficult situation and started a long exam.
Including that Liu Beizhao, everyone is not very optimistic about black chess. Gu Xihua's face was as gloomy as water, and she didn't dare to look at Cheng Changmu who was crying and mourning, and Li Sheng who was desperate.
After waiting for a long time, the game came back again.
"Huh" Liu Zhizhao placed a black piece in the big array of white chess: "This Lu Gongzi actually broke away from the main battlefield at a critical moment. Is this your lady who touched me, and I will drill into your backyard? However, there is not much space for the chess game now, and it is very difficult for this son to survive! ”
The people who bet on Jun Ruochen, with a bright smile on their faces, began to congratulate each other, and began to boast one by one that the son of Ruochen of the Marquis of Qin's Mansion was extraordinary, his chess skills were outstanding, and he had long been prescient, etc.
Gu Ye and Ge Shu Xiaoye are okay, the jewelry on their bodies is lost, after all, they are still within the range of bearing. Cheng Changmu, who was greedy and made a heavy bet, collapsed on the ground softly, tightly grasping Gu Ye's thighs with unswerving faces.
"It's over, it's over. I've put some of the assets of my jade shop on the ground. Let me die, and don't pull me. ”
Li Sheng looked at Pei Wuniang with a desperate expression: "That's my family's ancestral sword, go back now, old man, how should I explain." ”
Liuliuzi sighed abruptly, the jade pendant that his junior sister gave him at the beginning was lost and lost. I really don't have a fate with her?
Gu Xihua was completely flustered: "It's none of my business, it's really none of my business." How did I know that guy could have won chess, but he was going to lose himself. ”
After smiling proudly, he suddenly appeared behind their group of people and looked at them with a stunned face: "What are you doing here?" ”
"The guy who lost the chess, you are still smiling so happily!" Gu Xihua's face was gloomy, and she pointed to the face of the road angrily.
"Lost?" Lu Lu said in surprise: "Who said I lost chess." That guy who doesn't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the earth actually dares to provoke me to go way, if you don't kill him cleanly, is it worthy of my way? ”
"What!" Cheng Changmu jumped up and looked at the road in disbelief: "Brother, you won, really won?" ”
"Cut!" Lu raised his head proudly: "The person who wants to win my way, I'm afraid he hasn't been born yet, what am I lying to you about." ”
At this time, that Liu Zhizhao shouted: "Wonderful, really wonderful!" It turned out that the son who broke in was deliberately sent out, taking the opportunity to build a thick wall outside. Then perform this subtle digging, and divide the white dragon into two sections. The white dragon suddenly died of rage, and the game came to an abrupt end. ”
Cheng Changmu was about to faint with happiness, and he was about to rush to the road to express his gratitude.
Gu Ye quietly pulled lightly and stopped Cheng Changmu: "You don't know the virtue of my junior brother, if he knows that we used him to win chess and make a lot of money." If you are not angry and are about to jump up, you have to divide a big share. ”
Cheng Changmu's eyes rolled slightly, and he found that those close to him, including Gu Xihua, had calm faces one by one, as if nothing had happened.
Give yourself a hard slap in the face to force yourself to calm down. Only then did he change to a simple smiling face and look at the road with a smile.
After looking around, he always felt a little strange, but he couldn't grasp the handle, so he went and grabbed Gu Ye's arm.
"It's rare that I won the championship again today, Senior Brother Gu Ye, don't you invite everyone to go to the Drunken Immortal Tower to celebrate, I can't say it."
Gu Ye smiled slightly, and waved his hand very generously: "Let's go, Drunken Immortal Building, celebrate Senior Brother Lu's victory in chess." Go and go, it's all on my Gu Ye. ”
After passing by, he turned his head and smiled proudly at Gu Xihua, which meant, "Look, Gu Ye, who is wronged, has been blackmailed by me again." ”
"Elder Wang, what do you think of this road?" Zhang Xun's face was ugly, and he looked at the white-haired old man.
"Quick-minded, Pegasus starry sky. What's even more rare is that he is not confined to a single place, and this son's future achievements are extraordinary, "The white-haired old man Wang Lao shook his head and spoke highly of the road.
"I think that the Qin family's Ruochen son, dense and delicate, upright and sharp. but it is much better than the way of misconduct. Zhang Xun shook his head, looking very disapproving.
"I heard that this road has been taught by Mr. Taibin and Shixian Taibai, the second master of Shuzhong, and learned the art of the ghost valley for a lifetime. The ghost valley is vertical and horizontal, all eyes are above the top, and the momentum is flying. Young people are a little proud, and it is natural to be there. ”
Wang Lao picked up the teacup, looking light and breezy.
"When the princes are angry, the world is extinguished. Vertical and horizontal people, all of them are people in troubled times, this son has bad conduct, learned a ghost valley vertical and horizontal art, if you marry the ninth sister as a wife, get the huge financial support of the Wang family, I am afraid that I will suddenly have civil strife in the Tang Dynasty in the future. Zhang Xun shook his head, worried.
