After going around in a circle, Li Xiangping finally failed to find any suitable candidates, which made him feel a lot of pressure.

Think about a fish belly team, which needs a half-level like himself to be the main general. That's all it takes, but Lao Cai is still ambitious, has high hopes for himself, and even thinks about what kind of good thing to "protect the three championships".

Therefore, even if Li Xiangping is no longer a gentleman, he also has a certain amount of pressure at this time. Li Xiangping thought that there was no other way, the top priority was to improve his strength as soon as possible, as for what he could do when the game came, he could only take one step at a time.

Under this kind of pressure, it also made Li Xiangping seem to work harder, even during the Chinese New Year in his hometown, he was busy strengthening his basic skills.

A week before the Spring Festival, Li Xiangping returned to his hometown for the New Year with his old man and "Aunt Lin". The road from the capital to Ganyuan is far away, and the traffic in this year is not as convenient as in later generations, the three of them first flew to Hongcheng, the provincial capital of Ganyuan, and then transferred to the shuttle bus from the provincial capital to go home, even so, it will take nearly a whole day to return to the hometown.

"Xiangping is good, do you still do life and death questions on the plane?"

Li Xiangping glanced at Lin Yi: "Well, it's idle anyway." ”

To say that this time I went back to my hometown Ganyuan for the New Year, the happiest person was not Li Xiangping, but his Aunt Lin Yilin. In real history, it would take several years for her and Li Yuanhu to officially get married, and before that, Li Yuanhu never took her back to her hometown for the New Year.

And in this life, Li Xiangping feels that the progress of the two of them will also be accelerated, and when they return to their hometowns this time, their old man should have the intention of marrying her.

Li Xiangping thinks about it now, and also feels that this thing is normal, in the previous life, the reason why the two of them did not officially get the certificate for a long time was mainly because they had awkwardness in their hearts, and the old man of his own family cared about his own feelings, so he couldn't make up his mind.

However, in this life, the situation is already different, no matter how I say it, I am also a time-traveling person, knowing that the two of them will come together sooner or later, and in real history, after they come together, I and this "Aunt Lin" get along quite well, so the awkwardness in my heart has long disappeared, and I don't resist the two of them from the bottom of my heart.

And his own attitude, his old man should see it in his eyes, so he made this decision a few years in advance.

Thinking of this, Li Xiangping glanced at his old man, Li Yuanhu was now on the plane with his eyes closed and recuperating. Li Xiang said in his heart that this is good, and it also saves Li Da Tuhao from going around to get flowers and grass, compared with the other warblers and Yanyan around him, Lin is still at least more responsible, and he is not bad for himself, if he wants to change someone else to be his stepmother, then there may be something wrong.

When he arrived in Hongcheng and took the shuttle, Li Yuanhu began to call everywhere, and after making a few phone calls, he said to Li Xiangping:

"Your uncle and your third uncle will also be home soon."

"Oh?"

Li Xiangping was happy to hear this, Li Yuanhu has a total of three brothers, Li Xiangping's uncle Li Jinjiang is working in Shencheng, while his third uncle Li Runquan is working in Pengcheng, the Special Economic Zone, because they have all settled down in the local area, so even during the Chinese New Year, a large family rarely gathers in their hometown.

Among them, especially the uncle Li Jinjiang, who works in a research institute in Shencheng, and his unit is also a bit secretive, so Li Xiangping usually sees him less often. For example, after playing the "Samsung Cup" final in Shencheng for so long last year, he, who was an uncle, didn't even come to see him.

"By the way, will the eldest brother and younger sister also come back this time?"

"Of course, the whole family will come back this time."

Of course, the "eldest brother and younger sister" Li Xiangping said are not brothers and sisters, but cousins, and the uncle's son, Li Weiping, is 18 years old this year and is a freshman at a local university in Shencheng. By the way, Li Weiping is not only Li Xiangping's cousin, he is actually Zhao Daokai's cousin, and the Li and Zhao families have such a relationship.

The little sister is the daughter of the third uncle, her name is Li Yunxin, but the little sister is still young, and she is not yet 6 years old this year.

After Li Xiangping returned to his hometown, the whole family gathered and the family was reunited, at this time, the happiest thing was of course the grandparents and the two old people.

"Brother Xiangping, are you really a world champion now?"

Li Xiangping lifted his little sister Li Yunxin high above his head: "Hehe, of course, how about the little sister, your second brother is amazing, right?" ”

Li Yunxin looks very pink, and now she is extremely cute, she only smiled: "Second brother Hee Hee is really amazing." ”

So in this way, the family spent a lively Spring Festival together, enjoying family affection. However, the good times are always short-lived, just after the third day of the Lunar New Year, the uncle left early because he had a task, and on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the third uncle's family also returned to Pengcheng. On the eighth day of the new year, Li Yuanhu and Lin were still ready to leave.

"Xiangping, aren't you going to go with us?"

"Anyway, it's okay now, I'll stay at home with my grandparents for a few more days, and I'll talk about it after I watch the final of the 'LC Cup'."

Li Yuanhu is also a chess fan, and he knows what Li Xiangping is talking about as soon as he hears the 'LC Cup'. Yes, Li Xiangping is talking about the final of the "LG Cup", and the two sides in the final are Lee Canghao and Lee Sedol.

This match is actually last year's game, and the first two sets of the final have been played, and Lee Sedol is currently leading 2-0, and the next three sets will be delayed until February this year.

The reason why Li Xiangping pays attention to this game is mainly because this series is very classic, Li Xiangping even believes that since the birth of the first professional Go World Series in 88, so many champions have been produced since then, and the influence and classicism of this series, there may be different opinions on the top three, but there must be no problem in ranking in the top 5.

In real history, Lee Sedol was in a good situation of leading 2-0, and was pulled by Lee Canghao in 3 sets in a row, completing a super reversal. It is also the only such reversal in all World Series finals five-way chess, which is one of the reasons why this series is called a classic.

The second reason is that from the perspective of later generations, this final is actually a landmark event, which marks the continuation of the "Lee Canghao Dynasty", and although Lee Sedol later won so many championships, he did not have his own era, and in the current Li Xiangping's view, this series is the key.

If Lee Sedol had won the series, the "Lee Cang-ho era" would probably have ended, rather than for a few more years like in real history.

By the same token, if Lee Sedol defeats Lee Cang-ho at this moment, then he may be able to truly create an era of his own.

It's a pity that in real history, it was Lee Sedol who lost in the end. Although it is said that history cannot be assumed, considering that Li Xiangping is a time-traveler after all.

Since even such a thing can happen, it is certainly not uncommon for the outcome of a series to change, so now that it is the right time, Li Xiangping is ready to calm down and take a good look.

"Hehe, that's okay, you can stay at home with your grandparents for a few more days, by the way, this time South Korea's Erli is competing for hegemony, who are you more optimistic about in Xiangping?"

Of course, Li Yuanhu had no opinion on Li Xiangping's desire to stay in his hometown for a few more days, and in the end, as a super chess fan, he also asked casually.

"It's hard to say, although Xiao Li is 2-0 ahead, but I think he wants to win Da Li now, and it's not that simple."

"Huh, really?"

Li Yuanhu didn't continue to ask, he explained some other trivial things to Li Xiangping, and then returned to the capital with Lin Yi, leaving Li Xiangping alone in his hometown to watch the game.

A week later, the series was over, and the result was still the same as in real history, Lee Sedol still failed to change his fate, he was beaten by Lee Canghao in three sets, and finally lost the series that could start the "Lee Sedol era".

"Brother Ding'an, how do you feel after watching these three games?"

"It's really wonderful, the style of both is on full display, one is aggressive, the other is immovable, but I personally think that the young man didn't lose unjustly, although his style is prominent, his weaknesses are also obvious, and in comparison, he shows more flaws in three games, and it is reasonable to lose."

"Huh."

Of course, Li Xiangping has nothing to say about his own cheating evaluation. But the interesting thing is that Li Xiangping himself has nothing to say, but the reaction of the outside world is different.

On the day when all the games ended, such a post appeared on a well-known Go forum in China:

"It can be seen that in the "Chunlan Cup" round of 16 lost to Li Xiangping, Li Sedol was obviously hit hard, he was like a sharp frustration, and everyone knows that a chess player like Xiao Li, once his sharp spirit is frustrated, the strength will definitely be greatly reduced, so I now think that the reason why Li Canghao was able to win the championship this time and complete an unprecedented reversal is that he actually has to thank one person, that is, our Li Xiangping"

Li Xiangping couldn't cry or laugh after seeing such a post, but he also had to admit that if he wasn't a traverser, if he didn't know the result in real history, then just looking at this argument, it seemed to have a little truth.

After watching the "LG Cup" finals in his hometown, Li Xiangping returned to the capital, every year in February, March is actually the off-season for Go competitions, except for the end of some events, there is basically no competition, so after returning to the capital, Li Xiangping continued to calm down and concentrate on cultivation.

In the blink of an eye, March will soon pass, and in April, many important competitions will be played immediately, and the first of them is of course the oldest professional competition, the "Fujitsu Cup".

"Brother Ding'an is ready, in a few days, we are going to compete in Dongying."
