Seeing that Shang Zhanyuan was in the way and refused to let Zhou Xuan be listed as a Class A chess player, he said very loudly: "This official testifies that Zhou Gongzi's chess is indeed slightly better than Mr. Gu, could it be that Mr. Shang doesn't even believe what this official said?" ”

Shang Zhanyuan saw Lord Assassin Shi speak, so he laughed and said: "How dare you not believe what Lord Xu said, but I want to see the game between Mr. Gu and this Zhou Gongzi." ”

If you want to look at the game spectrum, it is clear that you still don't believe Xu Tingshi's words!

Xu Tingshi's hands trembled with anger, and he said sharply to Governor Shi of Shu on the side: "Is this the madman who was sent by your Shuzhou Xuan!" ”

Governor Shu Shi hurriedly said to Shang Zhanyuan: "Mr. Shang, quickly apologize to Lord Xu." ”

At that time, the Tang Kingdom, the Song Kingdom and the Southern Han Dynasty chess style were extremely prosperous, and the chess players who played a good hand of chess were very respected, and the eighteen chess players were the objects of the princes and nobles of various countries, high-ranking officials and giants, although Shang Zhanyuan was ranked last, but this time Shuzhou Assassin Shi invited him to participate in the Sanzhou Chess Battle also out of a thousand taels of silver, and the salute was added, at this time he was forced to apologize by the official Shi of the Assassin History, and he couldn't help but be angry, arrogant, and said loudly: "There are rules for chess battles, if you don't follow the rules, then what kind of chess is played, Since Jiangzhou wants to list a nameless person in Category A, it's okay, Shang someone quit and didn't participate, it's okay. ”

The other two chess players from Shuzhou also said in unison: "We will also quit." ”

Governor Shu was in a hurry, and hurriedly retained Shang Zhanyuan, while looking at Judge Fan: "Lord Fan, how do you think this is good?" ”

Judge Fan is solely responsible for this three-state chess battle. Seeing that there was a dispute, he was embarrassed, of course he was inclined to Zhou Xuandi, but if the Shuzhou chess player withdrew, then the Sanzhou chess battle would be difficult to continue, and he couldn't explain it to Lord Duhu.

Gu Liuquan said, "Mr. Shang." Lao Yu and Zhou Gongzi have not played a game, but Lao Yu has seen a game of chess between Zhou Gongzi and the three idiots of the rangers, Zhou Gongzi's chess strength makes Lao Yu bow down, if Mr. Shang doesn't believe it, Lao Yu can show you that game of chess. ”

Shang Zhanyuan sneered: "Mr. Gu said this, is it detrimental to the reputation of the eighteen great chess players, and he is willing to bow to the wind before he has finished the game, what is the difference between this and running away from the wind?" ”

Gu Liuquan's old face was flushed. argued: "Mr. Shang knows that what Lao Yu said is true after reading the chess game. ”

Unexpectedly, Shang Zhanyuan said: "Who knows whether the chess game is true or false, the chess name is accumulated over a long period of time, and it is not something that can be proved by a chess game." ”

Xu Tingshi was furious: "Then what should you do?" ”

Shang Zhanyuan said: "Zhou Xuan just can't compete as a Class A chess player, and Class B is fine." ”

Judge Fan said: "That's it, Mr. Shang will play a game with Zhou Gongzi first, if the chess strength is equal, then Zhou Gongzi will participate as a Class A chess player, how about it?" ”

Judge Fan was polite enough, but Shang Zhanyuan didn't eat it hard and soft, and refused: "No." I am one of the 18 great chess players, and playing against unknown people is to lower my chess level. ”

I didn't look at the chess game, and I didn't play the trial chess, which made Xu Tingshi so angry that his hands and feet were cold.

Zhou Xuan, who had not spoken, smiled at this time and said: "The Shangda chess player is really arrogant, Xiaosheng admires it, and Xiaosheng wants to send some silver to the Shangda chessman." I also hope that the big chess player will laugh and accept. ”

Shang Zhanyuan was stunned for a moment, and thought to himself: "What's the matter, you want me to let you go and let you participate in the war as a Class A chess player?" I see that your attitude is not bad, but you can't say to my face that you will give me silver! The eight-character eyebrows drooped downward, and said highly: "What I am pursuing in the game is the profundity of chess, how can it be because of money——"

Zhou Xuan didn't wait for him to finish, and stretched out a finger: "One thousand taels." ”

"One thousand taels!" Shang Zhanyuan shut up suddenly. stopped talking about the mysterious realm of chess, stared at Zhou Xuan for a while, and asked, "What does Zhou Gongzi mean by this?" ”

Zhou Xuan said: "I have no other intention, I just want to send you a thousand taels of silver to spend flowers." ”

Shang Zhanyuan thought for a moment. Ask: "Do you want to worship me as a teacher?" ”

Zhou Xuanzhen wanted to slap him in the face of the bitter gourd, and endured it: "That's not it, I just want to ask the Shang University chess player for three games with a thousand taels of silver as a lottery head, and the Shang University chess player is strong in chess, and he will definitely easily win this thousand taels, so this silver is equivalent to giving it away for nothing." ”

Shang Zhanyuan is still thinking about it.

Judge Fan said: "This thousand taels of color will be issued by the Duhu Mansion to see who can win." ”

Another Shuzhou chess player blushed at the silver, and stepped forward and said: "Mr. Shang is unwilling to play against him because of his self-respecting identity, so it is better to let him play these three games with Zhou Gongzi, and he is also a famous player in Shuzhou." ”

Shang Zhanyuan heard that someone was going to grab the silver, and hurriedly said: "Wait, Zhou Gongzi named me to play against me, if I shouldn't fight, wouldn't I be considered cowardly, self-surrendering chess refers to the three-state chess battle, and gambling on chess is okay." ”

Zhou Xuan sneered in his heart and said, "There is a small proposal in the next place-" Zhou Xuan always has a proposal every time he bets, "A thousand taels of silver is not interesting enough, for the high Shang chess player."

Playing chess for silver is too vulgar, and it is proposed that if the Shangda chess player does not play, then he can no longer claim to be one of the eighteen great chess players in the future, so let him take your place. ”

Shang Zhanyuan said angrily: "You are dreaming! ”

Zhou Xuan smiled: "It's a dream, didn't you say what if!" ”

Shang Zhanyuan asked angrily: "Then what should you do if you lose?" ”

Zhou Xuan said: "I must have lost, it was equivalent to giving you a gamble for nothing, what else are you going to do?" You can't deal with me, an unknown person, right, where is the demeanor of a great chess player? ”

Gu Liuquan saw that Zhou Xuan wanted Shang Zhanyuan to increase the gambling code, but he himself was a dime, and he couldn't help but laugh, Gu Liuquan knew that Zhou Xuan's chess strength should be on par with Shang Zhanyuan, but Shang Zhanyuan had an extra gambling code, and once he lost, he would be ruined.

—

Zhou Xuan saw that Shang Zhanyuan was indignant and did not answer, so he said again: "If the Shang University chess player refuses to fight, this matter will spread, presumably no one will think that you are a Qing Gao, but will only think that the Shang University chess player is cowardly, for fear that he will not be able to keep the reputation of the eighteenth great chess player, and he will not even dare to ask for the thousand taels of silver sent to his hand, alas, the rumors are terrifying." ”

Shang Zhanyuan's temper was still quite strange, and he said coldly: "Don't provoke me, the more you provoke me, the more I won't fight with you." ”

Zhou Xuan nodded and said: "So that's the case, the Shang University chess player is really smart, no wonder he can stand firm among the eighteen chess players, but for the sake of the Shang University chess players, I suggested that the Shang University chess players should find a deep mountain and old forest to hide, no one can find you, no one can challenge you, so that you can always keep the position of the big chess player." ”

Xu Tingshi laughed.

Shang Zhanyuan's face turned red, the green bitter gourd turned into a red bitter gourd, and finally he couldn't stand it anymore, and said angrily: "Then come on, let me see what you are capable of surnamed Zhou!" ”

Gu Liuquan saw that Shang Zhanyuan couldn't hold his breath and agreed to Zhou Xuan's unreasonable proposal, he shook his head secretly, and had a hunch in his heart, this Shang Zhanyuan was going to be unlucky, not that Zhou Xuan's chess strength must be stronger than Shang Zhanyuan, but one was in the light and the other was in the dark, one lost nothing if he lost, and the other lost half of the world's chess fame Fu Liushui, before the chess started, Zhou Xuan had the upper hand, this is the art of attacking the heart.

Judge Fan said: "Since Mr. Shang agreed to play the game, then the three games between Zhou Gongzi and Mr. Shang should be regarded as a duel between Jiangzhou and Shuzhou Class A chess players, so as not to play again and again, in vain, do you have any objections?" ”

Shang Zhanyuan nodded in agreement, and suddenly realized that after going around in a circle, he still agreed to Zhou Xuan's participation as a Class A chess player, and the Jiangzhou people's plan to fight on the horse still succeeded!

Shang Zhanyuan glanced at the history of Governor Shuzhou, and saw that he had no objection, and said in his heart: "You are all afraid of the obscenity of Jiangzhou's assassin history and dare not have objections, why should I be a villain, anyway, the condition for you to invite me with 1,000 taels of silver is to sit in Class A, defeat the two Class A chess players in Jiangzhou and Qizhou, and when I win Zhou Xuan, and then win Qizhou, 2,000 taels of silver will be in the bag." ”

Thinking like this, Shang Zhanyuan's resentment suddenly disappeared, and a smile appeared on his bitter gourd face, and he said, "Then let's start." ”

On the third floor of the "Forget Worry Hall", first of all, three chess players from Jiangzhou and Shuzhou fought on the board, and few people watched the game of Gu Liuquan and Fu Yannian, and everyone came to see the game of Zhou Xuan and Shang Zhanyuan.

Guess first, Shang Zhanyuan will go first.

After falling behind more than 30 pieces on the chessboard, Zhou Xuan had a certain understanding of Shang Zhanyuan's chess style, this person loved the field, and he was empty from the beginning of the layout, desperately occupying the territory.

Zhou Xuan deliberately retained his own chess style, basically following the white chess, starting to exert his strength in the middle game, provoking a large battle, several folds and rushes down, Zhou Xuan has gained, but because the white chess in front of him occupies enough real space, the black chess situation is still backward.

Shang Zhanyuan had completely put away his contempt for Zhou Xuan at this time, and said in his heart: "This person's chess strength is really not weak, and he is completely qualified to be classified as a Class A chess player, I have to be very careful, I must win the battle, I have already fallen for his tricks before, forcing me to have no way out." ”

After two hours in the first game, Shang Zhanyuan finally won the first game with the advantage of a son, wiped the sweat from his head, and thought: "It's so hanging." ”

Zhou Xuan was not depressed, he got up with a smile and watched the other two games, Gu Liuquan won, Fu Yannian lost, and in the first round of the three decisive battles, Jiangzhou was defeated.

After lunch at the Xu Mansion, Zhou announced his resignation and returned to the Qin Mansion, and Xu Tingshi sent him out, and asked a little worriedly: "Zhou Gongzi, can you win tomorrow?" ”

Zhou Xuan nodded and said, "I can win tomorrow." I thought: "Today Shang Zhanyuan goes first, which means that I let him go first, and only then will I win a son, if according to the rules of the later life, I should win his two and a half sons, tomorrow I will go first, and it will be no problem to take him, it will depend on the day after tomorrow to guess the first, if he guesses that the white chess will go first, it will be a little troublesome." ”
