Chapter Eighty-Nine: A Go Prodigy, Apprentice to Huxin Pavilion
There is a small lake dug out by hand in the middle of Shinno Castle, where lotus leaves are planted and koi fish swim underwater. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info and in the middle of this small lake, there is a pavilion in the heart of the lake. In the scorching summer, in this pavilion in the middle of the lake, you can enjoy tea and poetry, play games and discuss things, and enjoy the summer.
At this time, in the pavilion in the center of the lake, there were three people sitting. Sun Qian and his daughter Zhong Ling were sitting on both sides of the stone table and playing Go. And Guan Yu sat on the side, chatting with Sun Qian about some interesting things. Sun Qian has been playing Go for more than ten years, and he is also very smart, so his chess strength is naturally not low. Single-minded and dual-purpose, still win Zhong Ling. Zhong Ling played three games in a row, lost three games in a row, and his mouth was upturned, and he was a little angry.
"Playing chess is for self-cultivation, don't care too much about winning or losing." Guan Yu saw that Zhong Ling was a little angry, so he comforted him.
"You've improved a lot compared to before." Sun Qian said.
"Hmph, let the four sons, I still lose. There's progress there. Zhong Ling frowned and muttered in a low voice.
Guan Yu and Sun Qian glanced at each other, and both shook their heads helplessly. At this moment, a boy ran over, his eyes fixed on the chessboard, as if he had been enchanted. Guan Yu turned his head to look, and it turned out that his second son Guan Xing came to join in the fun.
"You 'don't have' too much, and in the end, the 'big dragon' was cut to death." Guan Xing said with some regret.
"There's a game, there's you." Guan Yu shook his head and smiled.
Zhong Ling's temper was already arrogant, and when he lost chess at this time, he was on fire and had nowhere to send it. At this time, Guan Xing's words suddenly aroused Zhong Ling's anger, and he immediately shouted.
"Standing and talking doesn't hurt your back, you have the ability to come."
"Uncle, shall I try?" When Guan Xing heard Zhong Ling's words, he was not angry but happy. Sun Qian's chess strength is high, and he is famous around Xinye City, and he can play against Sun Qian, Guan Xing naturally can't ask for it.
"It's really self-sufficient, just your two hits, and you still compare with my father." After Guan Yu taught Guan Xing to play chess, it was Zhong Ling's Guan Xing Go routine for two or three consecutive days. Zhong Ling thinks that Guan Xing is talented, but after all, the time to learn chess is too short.
"Okay, you go first." Sun Qian smiled.
Guan Xing didn't think much about it, held the sunspot in his hand, and went down to the horned star position. Then he looked at Sun Qian, and saw that he still didn't move the chess pieces, and he couldn't help but have some doubts in his eyes.
"You're young, I'll give you four sons." Sun Qian continued.
"You still don't have to let the child." Guan Xing scratched his head and said in a low voice.
"Xing'er, how can you be so proud." Guan Yu didn't wait for Sun Qian to speak, so he took the lead in reprimanding.
When Guan Xing heard what his father said, he hurriedly bowed his head and remained silent. Caught three sunspots and identified them above the four horned stars.
Zhong Ling watched from the sidelines, and secretly laughed in his heart. put all four sons on the horned star position, and it seems that he controls the overall situation as soon as he comes up. In fact, for newbies, there is more to consider. The opponent starts with four sons, you use four sons to occupy the four star positions first, if the chess strength is not enough, you may not be able to hold a star position, and finally lose the whole game. Zhong Ling only occupies the two small eyes next to the two star positions every time, and he can't resist it.
Seeing this start, Guan Yu also shook his head secretly, and said secretly in his heart. "Xing'er is still too young to understand the truth of giving first and then getting."
As everyone expected, Sun Qian quickly regained his dominant position little by little. The advantage at the beginning was quickly neutralized, and with less than 100 sons, Guan Xing began to fall into disadvantage. When Guan Yu saw this, he already knew it. Sun Qian's best thing is to fight in the middle game, Guan Xing has a bad start, and there is no longer the slightest chance.
"Worse than me." Zhong Ling covered his mouth and snickered.
Guan Xing didn't care about others at all, he still studied the chess game carefully and devoted himself to the chessboard. The various techniques used by Sun Qian were analyzed little by little and appeared in Guan Xing's mind. Every step taken before is revealed.
Guan Xing fell again, and suddenly gave up the battle for the overall situation, and turned his eyes to an insignificant position. When Sun Qian saw this scene, his face was joyless and carefree, and he secretly shook his head in his heart. The overall situation is lost, and what is the use of fighting for a small piece of territory.
At this moment, a guard next to him stepped forward and whispered.
"Report to Guan Shuai, Xinye, Bowang, Lin He and other cities have all come out last month's accounts, just wait for Master Sun Bo to go and approve it."
Hearing this, Sun Qian nodded. Blinking his eyes to the chessboard, it seemed that there was no need to continue, so he said to Guan Xing.
"I still have accounts to approve today, let's play another day."
"Can you finish this game and go again?" Guan Xing was looking at the chessboard intently at this time, and when he heard Sun Gan's words, he hurriedly said.
"Okay, this game is decided, there is no need to play again." Guan Yu stood up and said to Guan Xing.
Guan Xing looked at his father and then at the chessboard, and he was very unwilling in his heart, so he had to sigh.
"Next time we have a chance, let's go again." Sun Qian patted Guan Xing on the shoulder, and then turned to leave.
Zhong Ling also went back with Sun Qian, Guan Yu turned his head to look at Guan Xing, and found that Guan Xing was still sitting at the stone table, unwilling to leave. Guan Yu smiled slightly, didn't take it seriously, and turned to leave.
Guan Xing was the only one left in the entire Huxin Pavilion, sitting alone at the stone table, looking at the chessboard intently. Time passed little by little, the sky gradually darkened, and Guan Xing was still reluctant to leave.
"It's a pity, if you play ten more sons, the sunspot will win." At some point, an old voice sounded behind Guan Xing.
Guan Xing was startled, and hurriedly looked back, and he didn't know when there was such a long-bearded old man behind him. Dressed in cloth clothes, but with an extraordinary momentum.
"Who are you?" Guan Xing threw away the sunspot in his hand and said in surprise.
"At what age did you start learning chess?" The long-bearded old man waved his sleeves, and all the chess pieces on the chessboard flashed with a faint light.
"My dad taught me last month." Guan Xing replied honestly.
"In just one month, I can play this hidden dragon chess, which is really talented." The long-bearded old man seemed to be a little pleased between his eyebrows, and he stroked his beard and said slowly.
"What Hidden Dragon Chess?" Guan Xing was confused.
"Would you like to worship me as a teacher, and I will pass on your chess skills." The bearded old man smiled.
"Yes, yes." When Guan Xing heard this, he was immediately overjoyed and nodded one after another.
"In the future, every night in the middle of the night, when you come to this Huxin Pavilion, I will pass on your chess skills again. Don't mention it to anyone, not even your parents. The old man said slowly.
"Disciple Guan Xing, the word Anguo. The master is above, and he is worshiped by the apprentice. Guan Xing knelt on the ground all of a sudden, and immediately kowtowed to his teacher.
"Anguo?" When the long-bearded old man heard Guan Xing's name, his heart was full of emotion, and his eyes moistened slightly.
"Master, what's wrong with you?" Guan Xing looked up and asked.
"It's okay, you get up. In the future, we don't have to be bound by etiquette between master and apprentice. The long-bearded old man helped Guan Xing up and said slowly.
