"May I ask Xiangping, will you still be the pioneer of the Chinese team this time?"

"I would like to ask Player Li, are you going to be the first to play when you come here this time......

At the opening ceremony of the "Nongshim Cup", when Li Xiangping appeared at the venue, there was no doubt that whether he would serve as the vanguard of the Chinese team became the most concerned issue for everyone, and almost all Chinese and foreign reporters first asked this question.

Of course, this situation is also normal, you must know that the "Nongshim Cup" is usually divided into three stages, and now it is only the first stage, some chess players who will not play, such as South Korea's Da Li, China's Chang Hao and Japan's Ita Kiki did not appear this time, so Li Xiangping, who appeared in the opening ceremony, is naturally easy to arouse everyone's reverie.

What's more, Li Xiangping is different from others, although in terms of his strength and "status in the rivers and lakes", it seems that he is no longer suitable to be a pioneer, but he is young after all, not only the youngest in the Chinese team, but even the youngest of all the participating chess players in this "Nongshim Cup".

"Young" is of course also a hardware condition for being a pioneer, considering that he also served as a pioneer in the last session, and then thinking of Zhang Da's reporter before the game, what is 10 consecutive wins and what is a one-shot clearance and so on, so now seeing Li Xiangping appear in the venue, this problem is almost inevitable.

"Haha, no comment, no comment, I can only tell you very clearly, as a person, of course, I would like to be the first to play, but the Nongshim Cup is a team competition after all, isn't it? Since it's a team competition, of course as an individual has to obey the organization, so when I play, it depends on how the coaching staff arranges, and I don't have a problem with how they arrange. ”

Hearing Li Xiangping's such a watertight reply, Dean Wang Lunan, who was not far from him, was simply "relieved", and he said to Team Leader Hua and Ma Xiaofei beside him with relief:

"Tut-tut, have you seen it, it's mature! Xiangping is really mature now. ”

Compared with honest people like Dean Wang, Team Leader Hua and Ma Xiaofei are of course not so easy to fool, Team Leader Hua said with a black line on his face:

"Hey, Lao Wang, you are really, this is called honesty? He's obviously throwing the pot, you know. ”

"Dump the pot?"

"Of course it's throwing the pot," Ma Xiaofei on the other side continued: "Dean Wang, don't you know yet?" Now on the Internet, the call for Xiangping to be a pioneer is very high, very high, many people want to see if he can create a miracle and break Lao Xu's record back then, but look at it now..... He kept saying that everything is subject to the arrangement of the coaching staff, so if he will be scolded in the future, isn't it just us who are scolded, this is not what it is. ”

"That's it, hehe, this kid is not kind."

Wang Lunan smiled at this, although he already knew that Li Xiangping was throwing the pot, but Lao Wang didn't take it to heart, thinking about it, people who play Go, how can they be so small-bellied and take this level of dumping to heart.

However, Li Xiangping's dumping was not a success, because the next draw seemed to save Ma Xiaofei and them immediately------

When Li Xiangping went up to draw lots on behalf of the Chinese team, he helped the Chinese team draw a good lot, that is, a first-round bye, so that he actually helped Ma Xiaofei find an excuse-----

Since there is a bye in the first round, even if Li Xiangping serves as a pioneer and goes up to clear the stage, it will only be 9 consecutive wins at most, right? Since it can only win 9 consecutive wins at most, then it can't break the record of Lao Xu, right? Since he can't break the record, let's not let Li Xiangping be the pioneer this time, and put him in a more important position, everything is to ensure the championship.

Well, this reason is very good and powerful, so when the results of this lottery came out, Team Leader Hua and Team Leader Ma both smiled, and both of them felt that Li Xiangping was a good comrade, even when he was throwing the pot, it would help everyone find a good excuse first.

The draw results came out, and the game officially started the next day, but since the first game was a showdown between Japan and South Korea, of course there was nothing to do with Li Xiangping---

- In fact, it's not just this game, he came to Shencheng this time to have nothing to do, with Li Xiangping's own understanding, this time is purely public-funded tourism, so when the first game officially started, he didn't have time to care about who won and who lost the Japanese and Korean chess players, just wanted to find a place to relax and relax, if he could relive his previous life's career, it would be great.

It's just that just when Li Xiangping wanted to be a gentleman again, he suddenly found that there was no way back to the past.

It's not because of anything else, although Shencheng is known as the magic capital, Li Xiangping also has a lot of silver around his waist, but what about his age? has just turned 16 years old, how can he be a gentleman?

Originally, it was just a matter of age, but in fact, in the previous life, he was a little later than this, and he started his career with Zhao Daokai, considering that he was a human being in two lives, so compared with the previous life, the psychological age is always much more mature, so he thinks that age is not a big deal.

However, there is another problem: I was a pure gentleman in my last life, an unknown gentleman who not many people knew about his existence. But now it's different, I'm a celebrity now, the kind of celebrity that many people don't necessarily know in person, but may have heard their name.

So now the question comes: a little famous aura plus a 16-year-old Go national player, how can he be a gentleman?

After thinking about this, Li Xiangping sighed: "Alas, Brother Ding'an, you are the fault of all this." ”

"Huh? What did Xiangping Xiaoyou say? What did I do to you? ”

"Hurt me..... Forget it, it doesn't hurt anything, so let's go to see chess, Brother Ding'an, let's go watch chess. ”

"Okay, good ......"

I heard that it was watching chess, and of course a chess idiot like Lao Shi was happy, so after Li Xiangping walked around outside, he could only return to the viewing room helplessly.

The first game was Japan's Naoki Hane vs. South Korea's Park Jinsu, to be honest, with the names of these two players, Li Xiangping didn't have much interest in this game, but he was not bored and had nowhere to go now? Of course, it can only be settled.

The game started at one o'clock in the afternoon, Li Xiangping almost stepped into the viewing room at about 3 o'clock, as Li Xiangping expected, today's viewing room is not lively, especially Chinese chess players and reporters, then at this point in time there are even few, Li Xiangping just came in when he only saw two, one of them is Gu Dali----

Of course, it is not surprising that Dali is here now, after all, he is the pioneer of the Chinese team, and he needs to play tomorrow, so it is of course very normal for him to come here now.

The other one made Li Xiangping a little surprised, this is a female chess player, a beautiful chess player who can be called a beauty, this beautiful chess player is none other than Chen Ying, who has just entered the stage this year.

"Hey, Chen Ying.... Sister, why are you here? ”

"Yo, it's ...... Li"

Seeing Li Xiangping coming in, Chen Ying hurriedly got up at the beginning, but when she said hello, she was stuck.

Li Xiangping smiled slightly, he understood this, you must know that Chen Ying is older than Gu Dali, and she is in her early 20s this year, so of course there is nothing wrong with Li Xiangping calling people "sister".

However, there is nothing wrong with Li Xiangping here, but there is a problem on Chen Ying's side, after all, she is the new beginning of this year, and everyone is not very familiar with it before, so what should he call in the face of the dignified five-crown champion in the Weizhen chess world?

Li Xiangping took the initiative to resolve the embarrassment, and he said in a joking tone:

"Hehe, Sister Chen Ying, aren't you going to call me Teacher Li? Okay, then you call, if you want to call, I promise to agree. ”

"Hahaha, I call me called," Gu Dali next to him answered, and he pretended to bow to Li Xiangping:

"Teacher Li, you see that I am called now, so when will you always point me out, such as teaching me a few tricks and so on."

Seeing Gu Dali pretending, Li Xiangping of course followed suit:

"Well, I really want to teach you two tricks, but I watched the sky at night and found that you have mediocre qualifications and can't inherit my mantle at all, so I think it's better to forget it, please take it back with your "Teacher Li", a dull person like you, then you can only let Teacher Nie train it. ”

"Hahaha." Gu Dali laughed, and he said to Chen Ying while laughing:

"Do you see it, our teacher Li is very strict in accepting apprentices, so I suggest you don't call it, because it's useless to call it, if you don't know what to call it, then just learn from us, we all call him the masterful boss."

Of course, this title is appropriate, so Chen Ying was kind at the beginning, and he smiled at Li Xiangping:

"That's okay, then I'll call you the masterful boss, the mastery boss is good."

"Okay, Sister Chen Ying, this is ..... Let's talk about chess, right? ”

"Yes, it's chess, hey, how do you know the masterful boss?"

Of course, Li Xiangping knows that she is coming to play chess, and it is still very interesting to say that this beautiful chess player in front of her is still very interesting, in real history, since she entered the stage, there may be more than ten years, and she has been in the bottom of the domestic rating for a long time.

Of course, her rating is so low, you can't say that she has a poor level, let alone that he has no pursuit and no self-motivation, because she is not ambitious here, this is already active in the chess world before she entered the stage, and she will do this as a career, and aspire to be a beautiful chess player who is the best Go show host.

In fact, in real history, Li Xiangping thinks that Chen Ying has done a good job, and Li Xiangping is not very clear about the situation in Japan and South Korea, but in the domestic Go world, then according to Li Xiangping's standards, he thinks that Chen Ying is the undisputed first person to talk about chess.

It's just that what makes Li Xiangping a little strange is that Chen Ying is actually good-looking, not a peerless beauty, but it is absolutely no problem to say "good look", and her career is also developing well, but just like her, she was inexplicably left in the end, until Li Xiangping crossed that meeting, Chen Ying was already in her 30s, and she hadn't married herself yet, which made Li Xiangping a little understandable.

Of course, Li Xiangping doesn't have time to understand this now, after all, everyone is not familiar with it now, not to mention that Chen Ying is only in her early 20s now, a good time in the mood for love, where is this kind of problem at this time.

"Hehe, guess, I've seen Sister Chen Ying's listing explanation, and it's pretty good, what is the explanation this time? Is it a TV explanation or a live listing explanation? By the way, who is the partner? If I'm not mistaken, it must be Mr. Hua. ”

"That's right, it's Mr. Hua."

Because everyone is not familiar with each other, Chen Ying also replied in a proper manner, she told Li Xiangping that this time it was not a TV explanation, but a second game of chess tomorrow at the game site.

The three of them chatted in the viewing room, and before they knew it, the first set was coming to an end, Li Xiangping and Gu Dali judged the situation and agreed that Japan's Naoki Hane had a clear advantage, and the first victory was a foregone conclusion.

"Tut-tut, it's Yugen, why don't we discuss it, let's talk about it, let me go tomorrow, this guy cut me a plate in the Samsung Cup, I want to take revenge."

"Haha If you want revenge, I don't want to take revenge, don't forget, last time he cut the two of us at the same time to qualify, so the mastery boss, you still have peace of mind to press the formation in the back, let me take revenge first tomorrow."

Li Xiangping smiled, just a feather straight tree, of course it was not worth it for him to grab this pioneer position:

"That's okay, then I'll watch Brother Gu's performance tomorrow."

On the second day of the game, Li Xiangping continued to do nothing, and just when his idle egg hurt, Team Leader Hua found him:

"Xiangping, come here."

"What's the matter with Hua Lao..... Yo, your voice, what's wrong with your voice? ”

"Hey, maybe I had a cold last night, I didn't say anything about the cold, and now I'm still a little out of voice,"

Team Leader Hua said in a hoarse voice:

"Wait a minute, I'm going to go to the scene to do a hanging game explanation, but depending on the situation, I may not be able to talk about chess, so I'm coming over now, isn't this here to ask you for help, today's game of chess, how about you go and help me explain?"
