Chapter Forty-Seven: The Tattoo of the Table

Liu Yong was thinking about Qiao Xuan's possible tricks, Qiao Xuan stood up and happily admitted his defeat. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Childe is superb in chess, and Lao Yu is not an opponent."

"I conceded." Liu Yong saw Qiao Xuan admitting defeat in his mouth, but there was a lovely smile on his face, which was even more strange, "This Qiao Gong doesn't like to lose, right?" Is there still such a person? ”

"Ying'er has an opponent." Qiao Xuan stared at the chessboard for a while, raised his head, stroked his beard and smiled at Liu Yong, "Liu Gongzi, the little girl Ying'er also likes to play, but it is difficult to find an opponent. The old man has seen the chess skills of the childe, and the two of you have a comparison. Childe has traveled a long way, so he will rest early today, and tomorrow how about watching the two of you play a game? ”

Early the next morning, as soon as Liu Yong turned over and went to the ground, someone outside whispered, "The prince is up, can the little one come in and serve?" ”

Liu Yong agreed, a steward gently pushed open the door, and with a gesture of his hand, several small servants rushed in, carrying water, carrying pots, and holding face towels, in an orderly manner, and after a while, a basin of hot water was placed in front of Liu Yong.

Liu Yong frowned lightly and said, "Didn't I say yesterday that I don't need to be served?" Why is it still here? ”

The steward replied respectfully: "When the son first arrives, it is more convenient for someone to serve him." ”

"Okay." Liu Yong was right to think about it, "Then I'll do it myself." The rest will not be for you. Thinking about having to serve Yahuan and comb her hair, Liu Yong felt uncomfortable thinking about it.

The helpless man in charge took the face towel from the hand of a small servant, waved his hand, and sent the rest of the people out.

After Liu Yong finished washing, he took the face towel and wiped it, and asked, "How did your master arrange it?" ”

"When the son is ready, please go to the master's study with the little one for dinner, and then play against the eldest lady."

Liu Yong nodded and said, "Okay, wait a minute." ”

Liu Yong quickly combed his hair, put on his coat, and went to the study with the steward, and had breakfast with Qiao Xuan. The two drank tea for a while, and chatted casually for a while, when Er Qiao and Dong Yun came.

Da Qiao's face was like a peach blossom, obviously he was still a little shy in the face of a strange man, and Liu Yong was also worried about facing a stunning beauty so closely, but Xiao Qiao ignored it, and his eyes shimmered to see Liu Yong's heart furious.

The two saluted slightly, then sat on both sides of the chessboard, set up their seats, and got up from white first to black. Liu Yong knew that Da Qiao's chess skills were extraordinary, so he played more carefully than usual. Clinker Go is like a battle situation, the opportunity is fleeting, Liu Yong has played steadily, but he inevitably fell behind, and it took one or two more hands to strengthen the place, although he was not eaten by Da Qiao, the situation has fallen behind. Moreover, Go must not only be accurate in calculation, but also have patience, Da Qiao plays extremely slowly, and he has to think for a long time every move. However, Liu Yong, a modern person, is only accustomed to a fast-paced life, and usually only plays rapid chess, and is extremely uncomfortable with this kind of slow chess that requires a long time of thinking about every move.

The two sides played dozens of moves, Liu Yong saw that Da Qiao and his own chess strength was only between Bo Zhong, but he fell behind, and there was not much space left on the chessboard to resist, plus Da Qiao played a drip, and reluctantly resisted a few steps, seeing that there was no chance of victory, but the refreshing throw admitted.

"I think Liu Gongzi's chess skills are nothing more than that." Little Joe scoffed.

"Qian'er!" Da Qiao turned his head and whispered to his sister, then turned back to Liu Yong and whispered, "Qian'er is ignorant, don't blame the son." I think Gongzi's chess skills should be better than the slave family, but Liu Gongzi played too steadily today. ”

Liu Yong saw Da Qiao's bright eyes and bright teeth, smiling and smiling, and then smelling the faint fragrance emanating from her body, his heart was like a deer, he didn't dare to look at it again, he calmed down a little, and arched his hand and said, "The eldest lady is polite." The eldest lady's chess skills are extraordinary, and she should be slightly above Liu Yong. In addition, Liu Yong is not accustomed to the rules here, so he has more losses and fewer wins in the game with the eldest lady, but if he follows the rules below, Liu Yong may have a fight. ”

"Oh, are there any other rules?" Big Jooch said.

"Hmm. The first is to divide fast and slow chess. Slow chess, one hour for each side, and every half minute after that...... That is, this ......" Liu Yong Chao remembered when he missed a finger, "within thirty drops, it must be dropped, otherwise it will be judged to be overtime negative." In rapid chess, each side takes a quarter of an hour, and after that, it must be won every half a minute. Liu Yong knows that people in ancient times had no concept of time when playing chess, and sometimes the next game of chess even took days, relatively speaking, Da Qiao played fast enough.

"It's so short." Da Qiao gasped, "No wonder the slave family saw Liu Gongzi fidgeting, it turned out that he was not used to our rules." ”

"Not exactly. There are only so many steps in the calculation of the road, and it is even more chaotic to think too much, and the so-called 'long test out of stinky chess', so I can only play fast chess. Liu Yong said calmly.

"Liu Gongzi is really a straightforward person." Da Qiao saw that Liu Yong's tone was sincere and free-spirited, and he couldn't help but have a good impression of him.

"In addition," Liu Yong added, "we play chess in black first and white later, so it doesn't matter." The main thing is that we don't have these four seats. ”

"Oh, yes. Because the first side is more advantageous, so I thought of setting up a seat to limit the advantage of the first move. Big Joe explained.

"Yes. The first side does have a big advantage. But the charm of Go lies in the fact that each of his pieces is equal, there is no distinction between superior and inferior, and his space is very large, theoretically any point can be landed, I can play in the small eye, outside the eye, star, and even Tian Yuan. But after setting up a seat, there will be no such moves, fewer moves, and less fun. Liu Yong saw Da Qiao's mouth move, knowing what she wanted to ask, so he waved his hand lightly, "So, we have thought of a way to not only be able to fall at will, but also let the first go have no advantage." ”

"Dare to ask Liu Gongzi what he can do?" Big Joe asked softly.

"Sticky." Seeing that Qiao Ying didn't understand, Liu Yong explained, "That is, the party that goes first should paste back six and a half eyes to the back hand, and mention one to count two eyes." ”

"Why six-and-a-half? And what does the half-eye mean, how is it possible to get out of the half-eye? Little Joe interjected.

"Second Miss asked well. Why six-and-a-half eyes instead of seven-and-a-half or five-and-a-half? This is because after summarizing countless games of chess before us, the final conclusion was reached that was acceptable to both parties. As for why you want to make a half-eye, you also want to avoid a draw. ”

"Oh!"

Da Qiao didn't say anything, he kept thinking about Liu Yong's words, and after a while, Fang Zhanyan said: "Liu Gongzi's words are very reasonable. If you are too rigid in playing chess, the idea of imprisoning people will be lost, and there will be a lot less fun. The little sister went down according to Liu Gongzi's rules. I'll try to go as fast as I can, but it's not as fast as Childe said, so please forgive Childe. ”

Liu Yong waved his hand again and again: "What did the eldest lady say?" The eldest lady can go down as she wants, how can you let the young lady follow it, it should be the next miss. ”

Da Qiao looked at Liu Yong, and his heart moved slightly, "This Liu Gongzi is really different from other men to our women."

"That's it! You two don't let you go. Play as you want. Little Joe said on the side.

"Okay." Liu Yong said, reached out and grabbed a chess piece from the chess box, and stretched it out in front of Da Qiao, "Please Miss guess." It depends on whether the child in my hand is single or double. Miss guessed correctly, she could choose to go first or later. ”

"It's funny." Da Qiao smiled, turned his head and asked Qiao Xuan, "Father, do you say guess single or double?" ”

Qiao Xuan also found it interesting, and said with a smile: "Just guess the double." This auspicious. ”

"Hmm." Da Qiao thought the same thing in his heart, and looked back at Liu Yong, "Double! A pair of eyes are shining, eyebrows are slightly curved, the corners of the mouth are slightly upturned, revealing a few small white teeth, full of smiles.

Liu Yong didn't dare to look more, so he hurriedly lowered his head and put his hand on the chessboard.

Big and Small Qiao, Qiao Xuan, and Dong Yun all lowered their heads, looked at Liu Yong's counts, and while watching, they shouted softly, "Double!" Pair! ……”

Liu Yong couldn't help but wonder, just count them, as for them? The two sons were rowed to the side, and in the end there were two sons left, which was really a double!

A few people first exclaimed, and suddenly laughed lightly, as if they had won a game of chess, which provoked Liu Yong to laugh.

guessed that the guess was won, but they didn't know whether to play first or later, and several people argued for a while, so they took the black chess piece and let Liu Yong go first.

Liu Yong walked out of the two corners, a small eye, and a more hidden deception inside, Da Qiao was the first time to do this, and he fell into Liu Yong's trap at once, and he fell behind at the beginning. And after Liu Yong knew Da Qiao's chess strength, he was no longer overly careful, and the two played more than 100 moves, and Da Qiao fell behind greatly. Da Qiao saw that there was no hope of catching up, so he surrendered.

"It's not fair. Liu Gongzi's moves are so strange that my sister and I have never seen them. It's not a skill to win in this way. Xiao Qiao was very unconvinced.

"Qian'er. Liu Gongzi is right, you have to play Go anywhere. It's just that we are lonely and unheard, how do we know that there are so many changes. Da Qiao was also depressed in his heart, and he lost a little bit. This chess piece is only one way away, how can it change so big and so complicated.

"Second Miss has learned a lesson." Liu Yong also felt that it was too scoundrel to win like this, so he honestly admitted, "I took advantage of the fact that the eldest lady was unfamiliar, and I also used deception, which really shouldn't be." ”

Qiao Xuan persuaded on the side: "Liu Gongzi doesn't have to care. Playing chess is like fighting a war, it is all based on the result of winning and losing, winning and losing, what is there to deceive? ”

"Hehe, Qiao Gongyan is serious. I think it's still a little different. Although there are similarities between playing chess and fighting, after all, Go is an elegant art of self-cultivation, and it is not appropriate to use some small means to win. Liu Yong still felt ashamed, and said to Qiao Ying, "Actually, if Miss Qiao knew the formula, she wouldn't be wrong." ”

"Formula?"

"Hmm. The set style is also called the starting hand style, and it is a move that is acceptable to both parties after many games of chess. It is generally believed that the set is the best move for both sides in the local area, and of course it is not absolute, and with the passage of time, the growth of chess strength, the actual detection, some old sets will also be replaced by some new sets. For example, here ...... just now"

Liu Yong explained in detail the changes in the corners just now, how to go, what the consequences would be if you don't go this way, and so on. Da Qiao watched every change intently, and after thinking for a while, Fang was relieved and sighed: "I didn't expect that there are so many mysteries in just one corner. ”

"There are many kinds of formulas, and it is up to the distribution of the surrounding forces to decide how to choose. Of course, I only know a little bit about it. Liu Yong said that it would be good if his Go book was still there.

"It's better if the son is empty, can you teach the little girl?"
