Chapter 278: Opponent
In the afternoon, the spring breeze is warmer, and it can be said to be gloomy and hot.
And on the outskirts of Chang'an City, the fight on the chessboard is still going on, this time Su Wuming's opponent is very strong, but fortunately he didn't meet that Sun Shi, but Su Wuming didn't care, even if he met Sun Shi here, what could he do?
The fight lasted for a long time, and it didn't end until the sun set, and after this competition, there were only four people left: Sun Shi, Yuan Zhongwen, Chen Fan and Su Wuming.
That Gao Chen, this time it was Yuan Zhongwen who fought against Yuan Zhongwen, and unfortunately lost.
After dispersing, Su Wuming took his wife and Tang Xiong back to their home, and the others also left one after another, and when the entire arena was empty, there was one person who still hadn't left, he was Gao Chen, he lost, and if he lost, it meant that they had one less chance of meeting the saint.
Everyone else went back, but Gao Chen didn't want to go back, he felt that he had lived up to it, when Ma Dai lost, he also comforted Ma Dai, but now that he lost, he found that he couldn't convince himself at all, it turned out that his bearing was not as good as Ma Dai.
The sky was a little gloomy, as if there was a rain coming, Gao Chen sighed, shook his head and walked in the direction of Chang'an City, and not long after Gao Chen left, a person suddenly appeared somewhere in the arena, and a sneer appeared on the corner of the person's mouth, and then quietly left.
When it gets dark, the rain in the late spring begins to fall, at first it is very small, if someone walks on the street and lets the rain hit, then he will definitely think of a poem, the spring street light rain is as moist as a crisp.
Su Wuming waited for someone in the living room, waiting for Hu Fei.
There was probably a cup of tea, Hu Fei braved the rain to enter the Su Mansion, and after seeing Su Wuming, he said: "Master Su, it has been investigated clearly, that Chen Fan is just a very ordinary family, his family background is average, he has studied hard for many years, and he is also famous in their hometown, but it is not big, and he has always been a very low-key person." ”
"He has a clean background?"
"Yes, according to our investigation, he has no contact with any faction in the DPRK and China, and after entering Beijing, he has never had any relationship with those judges."
Su Wuming nodded, if this Chen Fan is really like this, then he is an opponent that should not be underestimated, a person can stand out among so many people, and it is absolutely impossible to have some real skills.
The night rain was like silk, and somewhere in Chang'an City, a person said coldly: "The things that let you do have been done?" ”
"Don't worry, master, I'll wait to see a good show tomorrow."
The man nodded: "If you mess up, you can wait to be punished." ”
The night was deeper, the rain slowly became heavier, and the entire Chang'an City was shrouded in the night rain, but who would have thought that in some places, evil was being staged?
The rainy night is a poetic scene, and when the rainy night is paired with the ancient and prosperous city of Chang'an, it can arouse everyone's reverie.
The next day, the rain did not stop, but the competition could not be stranded, because there were only four people left, so the competition venue was moved to the music square, but the people who could enter the music square, very few, those who want to see the excitement, can only wait outside, and wait for someone to fall behind, by the special person to run out on the outside chessboard with the fall.
Although it was raining, everyone's excitement was not annihilated because of this, not only that, but they were more curious and excited, the chess saint was about to be born, and it would be a pity not to come.
In the music room, it is relatively quiet, except for the four contestants and six judges, the only people who can enter the music room to watch it up close are the magnates of Chang'an City, these magnates are not many, but there are also a lot, there are dozens of people, large and small, the so-called quiet, naturally compared to the previous scene and the scene outside the music square.
This time, Su Wuming was playing against Yuan Zhongwen, and Chen Fan was playing against Sun Shi, after Su Wuming learned of this result, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he really wanted to see how many catties and taels this Chen Fan had.
In comparison, although Yuan Zhongwen has an elegant temperament, he does not give people a Ling Ran momentum, which makes people feel that he is actually very easy to deal with, but Su Wuming will not be confused by this kind of appearance, so after the two sides sit down, Su Wuming's son and half son are to fight.
Yuan Zhongwen grabbed a handful of sunspots, then looked at Su Wuming and said: "I have long heard of Master Su, and today I can finally fight, it is really a happy thing in my life." ”
Although these words were very arrogant, Yuan Zhongwen was still elegant and his tone was very calm, Su Wuming smiled indifferently and said: "After Yuan Gongzi is famous, he has been admired for a long time, and in today's fight, please ask Yuan Gongzi's subordinates to be merciful." ”
Yuan Zhongwen didn't have any changes because of Su Wuming's weakness, glanced at his palm, and said, "Please guess Master Su!" ”
Su Wuming frowned slightly, he knew that guessing was just luck, so he didn't think much about it, and said directly: "Even number!" ”
Yuan Zhongwen smiled, and then slowly stretched out his palm, only to see that there was only one sunspot in his palm.
Su Wuming smiled a little embarrassedly, stretched out his hand and said, "Please!" ”
Although the guess lost, this kind of bearing is a must.
Yuan Zhongwen did not fall slowly, Su Wuming followed closely, this Yuan Zhongwen At the beginning, the chess path was quite gentle, but Su Wuming could see that this was all his layout, and if Su Wuming followed closely to block, he would have to jump into the trap, but if Su Wuming did not block, Yuan Zhongwen would see that Su Wuming was also secretly arranged, and if both sides were like this, it would depend on who was more powerful.
And Su Wuming didn't want to play the layout game, so he besieged, but in the process of containment, there was also a small layout, although some would be sacrificed for the time being, but these were not important.
On Chen Fan and Sun Shi's side, it was Sun Shi who went first, but they didn't guess the black and white, but Chen Fanrang, the young man who was shy in the past, suddenly became arrogant when facing Sun Shi, who was famous in Chang'an.
Perhaps, Chen Fan wanted to provoke Master Sun, looking down on him was the biggest humiliation to Master Sun.
However, Master Sun had already been surprised by the favor of his cultivation, so when Chen Fan asked Master Sun to fall first, Master Sun didn't say much, picked up the white son and fell, which made Chen Fan a little surprised, but the son had already fallen, and he couldn't regret it, so he had to continue to follow.
At this time, Sun Shi was a lot more introverted, so the chess style has changed more or less, but although it has become a lot more mellow, the killing machine is everywhere, and it makes people nervous.
However, Chen Fan is not as vulnerable as everyone imagined, no matter how insidious Sun Shi's layout is, Chen Fan can resolve them one by one, although he can't stand up for the upper hand, but the two sides are not much worse, as long as they continue to play, the chance to win is not impossible.
Time passed minute by minute, the two sides still fought for a long time, and I don't know when, the wind and rain outside have stopped, after the sun comes out, the entire Chang'an City is mottled in the sun, and the sense of simplicity is coming.
The two sides have been playing for more than an hour, Yuan Zhongwen's chess style is still steady and steady, and the layout is exquisite, and at this time, Su Wuming is already more than a dozen children behind Yuan Zhongwen, and there are not many more than a dozen, but it is not an easy thing to chase back, but Su Wuming did not look very nervous, he still played calmly, for Yuan Zhongwen's layout is everywhere to encircle, and when he was about to fall into the trap, Su Wuming suddenly fell on the periphery, this one fell, The whole chessboard suddenly changed drastically, and at least half of the blacks were surrounded by whites.
At this time, Su Wuming had the upper hand.
After another stick of incense, Su Wuming finally defeated Yuan Zhongwen, Yuan Zhongwen was a little stunned, and after a long time, he got up and said, "I lost!" ”
Su Wuming hurriedly returned the salute: "Admit it!" ”
Although Su Wuming felt that it was a bit hypocritical to say this confession, in this era, this was politeness, and he had to say it.
With the results of the fight here, everyone focused all their attention on the competition between Sun Shi and Chen Fan, Sun Shi's chess style is very stable, whether it is offensive or defensive, it is decent, and there is a basis for advance and retreat, which makes people unable to start.
And Chen Fan's chess style can only be described as strange, he should have blocked, but he just let go of a loose mouth, he should have let go of the loose mouth, but he just went to block, this method is difficult for both Sun Shi and Chen Fan to end the game in time, unless someone uses these scattered pieces to connect a delicate layout, otherwise it can only be a war of attrition.
At first glance, this kind of fight doesn't seem to be exciting, it's nothing more than messing up the other party's layout, if you don't win, you don't want the other party to win, so as to delay time and see who has the most eyes in the end, this is a more dangerous method, but this method may not be the best way for Chen Fan, because Sun Shi's reputation has already started in Chang'an City, Chen Fan is not sure if he is Sun Shi's opponent, so in this way, it is the most beneficial for himself.
Su Wuming and Yuan Zhongwen watched from the sidelines, but they didn't say a word, the fight on chess and cards is actually the same as the fight on the battlefield, relying on the strength of both sides, if an outsider intervenes, it will lose a lot of chess fun.
But at this time, Su Wuming suddenly noticed that Sun Shi's forehead was faintly revealing a trace of sweat, and his face was terrible pale, he felt that this was a little strange, it stands to reason that a person has sweat on his face, and there should be a flush, and it will definitely not be miserable, but now Sun Shi's face is indeed miserable white, and it is terrible white.
He may have been sick, and just when Su Wuming had this idea, Sun Shi suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell headlong.
