Xu Tingshi knew that Zhou Xuan was a good gambler, and Wu Gongcao's son Dou Worm lost him three thousand taels of silver, but when he gambled on chess with Feng Yuan, did Zhou Xuan have such strong chess power? said: "Playing chess is an elegant thing, don't hurt the harmony of the two - Zhou Gongzi, do you really want to play this game of chess?" ”

Zhou Xuan said with a smile: "Lord Xu is afraid that after Mr. Feng returns home, our Jiangzhou will not be able to win against the other two states?" ”

When Feng Yuan heard this, he was furious again: "See the real chapter in chess, don't play tricks, I want to see what kind of character you are!" ”

Zhou Xuan made Feng Yuan half angry, regained his polite appearance, and bowed elegantly: "Mr. Feng first, please." ”

Guess first, Feng Yuan took the lead, picked up a white piece and slammed it on the precious wood chessboard with a "snap".

Zhou Xuan didn't want to be a clip.

Feng Yuan was stunned for a moment, this chess hand is really rare, but rare is rare, it's not that I haven't seen it, often some low-handed hands can play unbelievable seemingly imaginative chess, because it's a mess.

Xu Danyuan saw that Zhou Xuan stepped forward to invite Feng Yuan, a little angry for her, she was surprised and delighted, it would be great if this person could scare Feng Yuan's arrogance, and quietly asked Xu Tingshi: "Daddy, who is this son?" ”

Xu Tingshi said with a smile: "This person is famous, and there may be no one who doesn't know that he came to Jiangzhou City." ”

"Who the hell is it, Daddy tell me quickly."

"His wife, you know, is Miss Qin Que Qin."

"Ahh It turned out to be Qin Que's Lang Jun, but the fake marriage was rumored. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, the case has been clarified, it is a villain's false accusation, you see that Zhou Gongzi is dignified, will he not be worthy of Miss Qin?"

Xu Danyuan stopped talking, looked at Zhou Xuan carefully, and then walked to the side of his master Gu Liuquan to watch the chess game together.

Zhou Xuan's thinking is quick, and his son is like flying.

Feng Yuan was unwilling to show weakness, and he played faster than usual, and in just a quarter of an hour, more than forty chess pieces had been placed on the chessboard.

Xu Danyuan's chess strength was limited, and she couldn't see which side of the black and white sides had the advantage, so she asked Gu Liuquan: "Master, how is this Zhou Gongzi's chess?" ”

Gu Liuquan stared at the chess game and was engrossed, Xu Danyuan asked twice before reacting, shook his head and said, "It's strange, it's weird!" ”

"Master, what's strange?"

"This Zhou Gongzi's chess move is very strange, and the old decay is unheard of."

"Unheard of, is that good or bad?"

"Judging from the chess game, although Zhou Gongzi's black chess is a late hand, it is now coming from behind and has a first advantage."

Xu Danyuan's eyes widened again, not looking at the chessboard, but at Zhou Xuan.

Zhou Xuan's waist was straight, sitting there with a mysterious smile on the corner of his mouth, as if everything was under his control.

Feng Yuan began to sweat, how could he not expect Zhou Xuan to be so powerful, and the layout alone had already quietly taken the advantage.

Chess into the middle game, Feng Yuan began to stir up the game, leading the chess game to a melee, and his white chess was afraid to be more auspicious than lucky, so he could only seek war, looking for fighters to crush the opponent in the struggle.

The mid-game battle was extremely fierce, Feng Yuan tightened the strings, and every move was held to the fullest, like walking a tightrope, and there was no room for the slightest mistake.

Gu Liuquan whispered to Xu Danyuan: "Third Miss, now that the black chess has a good chance to win quickly, I don't know if Zhou Gongzi found this move?" ”

"Where, where?" Miss Xu San hurriedly asked.

Gu Liuquan motioned to her not to speak, because Zhou Xuan was thinking, this was Zhou Xuan's first long exam, and the timing was just right, and it was the key to victory or defeat.

Zhou Xuan thought about it for about ten minutes, calculated it clearly, made a decisive move, dug in the air, and divided a large piece of white chess that seemed to be connected together into two pieces.

Feng Yuan fixed his eyes and looked at it, a face suddenly swelled into the color of pig liver, and then the blood receded and turned blue-white, he knew that he had lost, and he had nothing to say, what the hell was going on, how could there be such a master in the Xu Mansion besides Gu Liuquan?

Feng Yuan sighed, stretched out his hand to disrupt the chess game, got up and slammed it to the ground in front of Xu Tingshi, his tone was extremely sour: "Lord Xu has such a master to help him, so why bother to come down?" Say goodbye to Lord Xu. ”

The room was silent, watching Feng Yuan fall away in defeat.

After a while, Gu Liuquan summed up in an old-fashioned manner: "Feng Yuan, if you can think about this game with Zhou Gongzi well, cultivate your mind, guard against arrogance and rashness, maybe you can really become a big chess player." ”

Zhou Xuan began to be humble again: "It's a fluke, it's really a fluke, if it weren't for the trick of discovering this trick by mistake, Xiaosheng would really be no match for this Feng Yuan." ”

Gu Liuquan smiled silently, and said in his heart: "You just pretend, you can hide it from others, but you can't hide it from me, according to the old man, Feng Yuan can't win a game in ten games with you, I'm afraid that the old man is not your opponent!" It's really strange, where did such a master come out? Where did Dr. Qin find his son-in-law? ”

Xu Jianshi was really a big surprise, he thought that Zhou Xuan was a good Go player at most, but he didn't expect Zhou Xuan to easily defeat Feng Yuan, who was known as the second master in Luzhou, Feng Yuan would leave, it would be better to have Zhou Xuan, and said happily: "Zhou Gongzi, the three-state chess battle on the tenth of this month, you have to count one, plus Mr. Gu, and then choose another strong player, our Jiangzhou has a great chance of winning, haha." ”

Go is very time-consuming, these two games of chess, it is already close to noon, Xu Tingshi set up a banquet to entertain Dr. Qin, Zhou Xuanweng's son-in-law, Xu Tingshi personally accompanied, the banquet was full of praise for Zhou Xuan, Zhou Xuan is also a person who can stand praise, and he was also praised by Xu Tingshi, I really feel that I am the world's number one talent, through wine, chant a poem to give Xu Tingshi:

"Where the fairy loves to talk with his hands, he smells and pecks at the bamboo forest. A slash of jade knocked on the clouds, and the afternoon window was shocked several times. Slowly know that the heart is far away, and do not forget to be idle in a hurry. The rotten Ke people went to collect the endgame, and the lonely empty pavilion was cold. ”

Xu Tingshi applauded: "Good poems, good poems, chess into poems, singing rotten Ke immortal genealogy, wonderful and wonderful, Xu should record it and hang it in the study." ”

Full of wine and food, Zhou Xuan went to the top of the "Forget Worries Hall" again, and he was very fast.

Xu Tingshi came over and said: "Zhou Gongzi, the little girl Danyuan wants to ask Zhou Gongzi for a game." ”

Zhou Xuan originally wanted to play with Gu Liuquan, but Gu Liuquan said before that he was unwell, and now it is naturally not good to heal so quickly, and this game with Feng Yuan has made Zhou Xuan have full confidence, Feng Yuan's chess strength is slightly weaker than that of the eighteen chess players, but it will not be much worse, and now Zhou Xuan has a good idea of the highest level of Tang Go, and he can still mix with this amateur strong fourth dan.

The game of chess between Zhou Xuan and Miss Xu Danyuan was still played in the Qingya room on the west side, and Miss Xu Fusan automatically put two sunspots, indicating that she asked Zhou Xuan to play backgammon with her.

Dr. Qin came to watch the game this time, he doesn't know how to watch chess, he looks at people, why does this Miss Xu watch chess for a while and look at his virtuous son-in-law Zhou Xuan? And his face is red, which is not a good situation.

Looking at his virtuous son-in-law Zhou Xuan again, sitting upright, paying attention to the chess game, not squinting, and looking like a decent gentleman, Dr. Qin was very pleased, the character of the virtuous son-in-law really has nothing to say, the old man has to discuss with his wife when he goes back, and let the bird and the virtuous son-in-law spend candles in the cave room as soon as possible.
