On the morning of the 25th of the month, the Xiangrufang Wei King Cockfighting Hall was crowded with people.

Jinling and Guangling are the places where the style of chess is the most prosperous, and Huang Xingjian's name is very large, and he is the first master in the Tang chess world, so the game between Huang Xingjian and Zhou Xuan attracted a large number of chess fans in the two capitals, and the scene was no less prosperous than the cockfighting final between the five idiots and Jia Chang half a month ago.

In the center of the cockfighting hall with a radius of 100 steps, there is a huge ~ Wu Weinan, who ranks seventh among the eight chess players, and Chen Xingyuan, who ranks eighth, sit at both ends of the big chessboard, and the two of them are the guests who explain the chess game.

There are also four strong men invited from nowhere, with a loud voice and great strength, which are used to shout and carry black and white chess pieces, and the chess pieces are not light, one is several catties.

The four strong men roared in unison to introduce Wu Weinan and Chen Xingyuan, and the ringing arena suddenly resounded with cheers, and everyone who knew how to play chess knew Wu and Chen, and they were all thinking: "This is really a top chess battle that has been rare in ten years, the chess speakers are all top ten chess players, and there is such a big chessboard, fresh, really fresh!" ”

When the strange-looking Huang Xingjian and the young minister Zhou Xuan appeared in the arena and waved to the chess fans in the stands around them, the entire stadium was boiling, and it seemed that the ancient people's enthusiasm for chasing stars was also very high.

Zhou Xuanyou looked around and saw that the people of the Xinzhou Hou Mansion were all sitting in the east stand, Judge Fan, Gu Changshi, Gu Liuquan, the Sun brothers, the Lin sisters, Yang Xiaofeng, Nian Nujiao, and Xiaoxiang all came. I also came to cheer for my uncle.

Zhou Xuan and Huang Xingjian just came to meet and salute the chess fans who watched the game, of course they couldn't play chess here, the cockfighting hall arranged a special game room, the two entered the special game room, the prince Li Jian and the king of Wei Xu Mian greeted them with a smile, and the four idiots were also in the game room as Zhou Xuan's personal entourage.

The first time Zhou Xuan saw the King of Wei was in the Qinzheng Palace last time, he confronted Wei Bo and Huangfu Jixun head-on, and there was no time to greet the King of Wei, so this time he exchanged greetings. Xu Mian, the king of Wei, is a happy prince, forty miles away, white face and black beard, very elegant, invite Zhou Xuan to go to the Wei Mansion for a banquet after the three-game chess, and then come to a friendly match between the "Wei Wangfu Circle" and the "Royal Shinshu Circle".

When Zhou Xuan was talking to King Wei and Li Jian, Huang Xingjian stood aside with a clear face, looking at the roof, looking arrogant and arrogant, and his head would inevitably be lowered after a long time. At this time, he saw that there were two hourglass-shaped things on both sides of the delicate chess table and the precious wooden chess pieces, in addition to the chess box, and asked, "What is this?" ”

Zhou Xuan replied: "This is a timing hourglass to limit the time for chess players to think. Otherwise, if you think about it for a few hours, the thousands of spectators outside don't have that patience. ”

Huang Xingjian said angrily: "The mountain people didn't know about this in advance, and the mountain people didn't agree to use this time hourglass. ”

Zhou Xuan said: "The hourglass is not for you alone, I am also limited by this hourglass, it is very fair, we each have two hours." In other words, a game of chess should be played for four hours, which is enough time. ”

Huang Xingjian asked: "What if one side passes two hours?" ”

"Needless to say!" Zhou Xuandao: "Of course, it was judged on time, this is also a battle of wit, see who counts the road deep and the road is fast - are the people of Huangshan cowardly?" ”

Huang Xingjian sneered: "Shanren never know how to play chess, so they rely on you, let you play a variety of tricks, and you can see real kung fu in chess." ”

The two sat opposite each other, guessing first, and Huang Xingjian took white first. As soon as he thought of returning the two and a half sons in advance, Huang Xingjian felt uncomfortable. Before the start of the game, he was already two and a half years behind. It's a burden.

Without Diagonal signs, the chessboard seemed empty, and Huang Xingjian pondered for a moment. White's first pawn still falls on the star in the upper right corner, after all, he is most familiar with the change of star position, and such a major game is stable.

Zhou Xuan's first move was the "three.3" on the left, which made Huang Xingjian a little taken aback, and then responded to another star position, and Zhou Xuan's fourth move was out of sight.

Huang Xingjian's chess strength is high, usually the first chess is less, let the chess play more, outside the eyes is the usual layout of the first hand to deal with the next hand, at this time saw Zhou Xuan to use the eyes to deal with him, very angry, heart said: "The deception is too much, you dare to treat me as a start, I will frustrate you a lot." "Immediately hung the corner with a small eye.

Zhou Xuan waited for the small eyes of white chess, and with a big flying cover in one hand, the "big oblique thousand changes" kicked off.

"Great oblique style" is known as a thousand changes, it can be said that it is a trap step by step, with a net, this is the killer of the later generations of Japanese celebrities Zhang and the land, Zhang and with the "great oblique thousand changes" dominated the Japanese chess world for 30 years, during which he defeated the rising star Akashi Inche with three wonderful hands, Akashi died of vomiting blood because of this, it can be seen how complex and difficult the "big oblique" is!

Zhou Xuan has a strong interest in these particularly complex formulas, learn to bully and start, a "big oblique" is like a magic weapon, once the opponent steps into the trap, it is very likely to collapse, and he will immediately admit defeat, such a victory Zhou Xuan likes the most, and now he will sacrifice this "thousand changes big oblique" to deal with Huang Xingjian.

Zhou Xuan didn't expect to knock down Huang Xingjian all at once by relying on this formula, if Huang Xingjian was so easily defeated, how could he rank fourth among the eighteen great chess players? Zhou Xuan just wants to make a little cheap with this formula.

Huang Xingjian relied on his deep calculating path, and leaned out angrily, playing chess is like this, the more you show weakness and retreat, then the worse this chess will be, and the narrow road will win bravely, this momentum is too important.

When playing chess, there is a boy with a hanging hair on each side of the game spinning the hourglass, which side falls, the hourglass is turned around, the fine sand does not flow, time stands still, and the hourglass of the other side keeps shifting sand, indicating the time spent by the chess player to think.

There are two young chess players who are specifically responsible for passing the progress of the chess game, telling Wu Weinan and Chen Xingyuan the location of Zhou Xuan and Huang Xingjian, and Wu and Chen ordered the strong men to put the big black and white chess pieces in turn in turn, while explaining, the four strong men repeated the shouts in unison, so that the thousands of chess fans in the surrounding stands can hear.

Wu and Chen first introduced the new rules adopted in this trilogy. The chess fans present kept in mind that Zhou Xuan's goal had been achieved, and the first step in promoting the new rules of Go was a complete success.

Regarding the "Great Oblique Thousand Changes", Wu Weinan and Chen Xingyuan both said that they had never seen them, and the changes were so complex

Confused, Wu Weinan said: "The Marquis of Xinzhou is prepared, this is very likely to be specially practiced to deal with Huang Xingjian's 'flying knife'." ”

Chess fans in the arena know what a "flying knife" is, which is a particularly powerful move on the chessboard. It can deal a fatal blow to the opponent, and once the opponent steps into the trap, then the knife is difficult to avoid.

Chess fans, especially those with low chess skills, are particularly enthusiastic about this kind of "flying knife", and they are engrossed in listening to Wu and Chen talking about chess, wanting to learn two moves.

The two private seats separated by the east stand, one is the women Jingyi Fairy, Lin Hanyun, and Yang Xiao, and the next door is Judge Fan, Gu Changshi, Gu Liuquan, and the Sun brothers.

Fairy Jingyi had a chessboard in front of her. There are more than 20 chess pieces on the chessboard, which is the game between Zhou Xuan and Huang Xingjian explained on the big chessboard.

Fairy Jingyi can play chess, but her chess skills are mediocre. Zhou Xuan once gave the fifth son to play a game with her, and Fairy Jingyi was still defeated, and then Zhou Xuan let her reluctantly fight to a draw, and then Fairy Jingyi no longer played chess with Zhou Xuan, only about tea.

Lin Hanyun looked at the big chessboard, clenched his fists and said, "Brother Zhou Xuan must win." I bet on Zhou Xuan's brother 300 taels of silver, the odds are 10 to 16, if Zhou Xuan's brother wins, I can earn more than 400 taels of silver. ”

Xu Mian, the king of Wei, has a way to make money, how can there be no gambling in such a major decisive battle, and he started betting three days earlier, and there are many high-ranking officials and wealthy households in Jinling, and it is estimated that the current gambling silver is not less than 100,000 taels.

Fairy Jingyi was in front of the chess game when she suddenly heard a knock on the door. It was Judge Fan's voice, and his voice trembled a little: "Miss." There are noble men who want to see you. ”

Fairy Jingyi frowned. Xin said: "Judge Fan is confused, what kind of noble person does the female Taoist see." He said lightly: "No." ”

Judge Fan was in a hurry. He shouted again: "Second Miss, please come out." ”

Lin Hanyun went to open the door: "Who?" Ahh

Lin Hanyun quickly retreated and said to Fairy Jingyi: "Sister, it's the queen's mother, the queen's mother is here!" ”

Jingyi Fairy quickly got up when she heard this, and saw three men's beauties rushing in, the first two were particularly beautiful, tall and tall, and their appearance was similar, like sisters, and the back Jingyi Fairy recognized that it was Feng Ajian, the deputy envoy of the draft who had been to Jiangzhou.

The slightly older stunning beauty in front of her has a graceful and luxurious attitude, which makes people dare not force her to look, this should be Xiao Zhouhou, and Fairy Jingyi hurriedly bowed down: "Female Tao Jingyi, knock on the queen." ”

Xiao Zhouhou smiled and helped up Fairy Jingyi, looked at the female Taoist priest intently, and said: "Flat, don't be polite, you all sit down." ”

Xiao Zhou Hou saw that Lin Hanyun's female sister was slender and delicate, and her white and red cheeks were blown up, so beautiful that people were jealous, and said in her heart: "Is this a monk?" Such a beautiful female Taoist priest is a monk who also wants to attract bees and butterflies, and now she lives in Zhou Xuan's house, last time Lin Hanyun asked Zhou Xuan to marry her sister, it seems that Zhou Xuan has already had a personal affair with her! ”

Xiao Zhouhou sat down on the embroidered pier, and Princess Qingle and Feng Ajian stood behind her.

Lin Hanyun asked: "The queen, Her Royal Highness the princess, and Feng Ajian, you all came to see Brother Zhou Xuan play chess, Niangniang, do you think Brother Zhou Xuan will win this game of chess?" He is black. ”

Xiao Zhouhou smiled and said: "Of course Xuan's nephew won, I heard you say last time that Zhou Xuan has never lost whether he gambles with others, chess, or tea, and this time will not be an exception." ”

Lin Hanyun was happy, Ka Ka Gege and Xiao Zhouhou said that Zhou Xuan was invincible in the Chongyang Insect War in Hongzhou with a fierce insect "can't be touched", and also recited the "Untouchable Hongzhou Championship Record" written by her Duhufu Qingke to Xiao Zhouhou, Lin Hanyun can't remember the Thirteen Classics, but he can't remember this.

Xiao Zhouhou listened to Lin Hanyun speak, but her eyes were looking at Fairy Jingyi, and Fairy Jingyi was embarrassed, and her face became even more delicate.

Xiao Zhou asked Jingyi Fairy how old she was? How many years have you been a monk? What scriptures do you read on a daily basis? What kind of tea do you like?

Fairy Jingyi answered one by one, secretly strange in her heart, she thought that the queen mother was here to talk about Hanyun and the East Palace, but she didn't expect to ask only this.

After sitting for two quarters of an hour, Xiao Zhou got up and returned to the palace, and Fairy Jingyi was relieved and sent the queen and princess out of the small door of the elegant room.

Xiao Zhouhou went out of the cockfighting hall under the protection of a team of Jin Wuwei, and when she got into the car, she deliberately asked Feng Ajian to share the car with her, and Princess Qingle took another car.

BMW incense car, drive.

Xiao Zhou asked, "Eunuch Feng, what do you think of that Miss Lin?" ”

Feng Ah Jian said: "Yu Niangniang, Miss Lin is a virgin. ”

"Oh?" Xiao Zhou raised his eyebrows: "Still a virgin?" ”

Feng Ah Jian said: "Yes, Miss Lin's neck is obviously red, and the whites of her eyes are slightly blue, and her legs are clamped tightly when she sits, so she is indeed a virgin." ”

Xiao Zhou Hou believed in Feng Ajian's eyesight, and sighed: "This palace thinks that the Marquis of Xinzhou has had a personal affair with this Miss Lin, so Lin Hanyun asked Zhou Xuan to marry her sister, it seems that the two of them are in love, but they can be affectionate and polite, this Marquis of Xinzhou can be called a humble gentleman." ”

Feng Ajian said with a smile: "When the Marquis of Xinzhou was in Jiangzhou, he and his wife did not have sex together for several months, and they were falsely accused of a fake marriage by the villain, and they went to court, and there are needles, because the father of the needle is not yet mourned, so although he lives with the Marquis of Xinzhou, he can be chaste and self-controlled." ”

Xiao Zhouhou nodded and said: "Nephew Xuan is a good son, with such a nephew, the face of the palace is also bright." ”

The words changed and said: "That Miss Lin is a beauty, the monk is too hard, and the palace is also unbroken to see her, since she secretly likes Xuan's nephew, then the palace wants to fulfill her, doesn't Xuan's nephew have such a good sentence, 'May all lovers in the world become dependents, and it is destined not to miss the marriage in the previous life' - Feng Ajian, pass my will early tomorrow morning, and summon the woman to enter the palace to meet her." ”

"Yes!" Feng Ajian was very happy for Fairy Jingyi and Zhou Xuan.
