In the evening, the red sunset reflected on the earth, and the color of blood was particularly dazzling.

In the afternoon, Lan Jiu and the others did not take much rest. After all, the Fourth Army, there are too many legends circulating in this empire, and the few people of Lan Jiu are absolutely false if they say they are not curious.

Having just left the front of the Ninth Army, several people were originally accustomed to this kind of military life. But when they saw the training ground of the Fourth Army, the eyes of several people were completely stunned. Only then did Lan Jiu gradually realize why the empire attached so much importance to the construction of the army, because these people were the pillars of the confrontation with the demon clan.

The scene can only be described as majestic, of course, that terrifying atmosphere is a kind of murderous atmosphere.

Xi Tianming grinned and sighed excitedly, "Oh, I'll go, this is too powerful... Although these people are not cultivators, when they are gathered into a whole, the power they exude is far greater than that of us cultivators! I don't know how Senior Brother Li's cousin trained these elite soldiers!"

"Speaking of which, I don't know where Senior Brother Li went?" Ah Ke smiled slightly and asked in a low voice.

Ah Ke's words, Lan Jiu knew very well that the target of the question would naturally not be someone else, but himself. smiled slightly, but only heard him laugh in a low voice, "Anyway, the two brothers were finally able to meet... Naturally, there will be some intimate things to talk about, so why bother with people?"

Lan Jiu's words were not too thorough, but the deep meaning was also easy to understand.

Just a few hours ago, after listening to what Lan Jiu said, Li Yixiang resolutely chose to go to Li Xiaofeng. In fact, this is also the best choice, even if Li Xiaofeng is busy at the moment, there will always be a time to relax, right? Let Li Yixiang wait by his side quietly, and the two can have some communication.

With a slight increase in his gaze, Lan Jiu looked at Murong Yunfan, who was focused on the side, and asked in a low voice, "Master Hou, the demeanor of this Fourth Army is so strong, then I don't know how strong the prestigious First Army should be?"

"The First Army, hehe, that's really a name a long time ago!" Murong Yunfan said softly, "This First Army was personally created by the previous king of our empire... I heard that the generals of the First Army are actually about the same power as General Sima Lie, and basically only obey the orders of the previous kings, and I don't know much about this army, so I can only say that when you have the opportunity to go in the future, you will naturally understand how strong he is!"

"Oh, I see!" Lan Jiu nodded lightly, but he was also secretly thinking about it in his heart.

"It's useless to think too much! you guys go down and rest, I still have some things to discuss... Xiao Jiu, you should also take a good rest, the two trials tonight and tomorrow, you must cash in well, don't let me down!" Murong Yunfan said meaningfully.

A few people nodded, and they also retreated to their rooms. Sitting cross-legged, Lan Jiu slowly sank into the world of cultivation, accompanied by the sound of training outside, and the speed of cultivation was like beating chicken blood.

The movement of the dinner party is not large, it is just a small-scale meal. However, the food is excellent, fish, meat, vegetables, melons, fruits, and wines, which can only be said to be everything. On the big dining table, the real dining table is actually Lan Jiu and his party of five, plus Li Xiaofeng, it's not lively.

After a meal, the relationship between several people and Li Xiaofeng became much more familiar. Lan Jiu also said straight to the point, "I don't know, what kind of model is General Li's so-called trial, and when will it start?"

"Hehe, it's really young and vigorous. However, being too impatient is not necessarily a good thing!" Li Xiaofeng reprimanded softly, and then laughed in a low voice, "I don't know, Vice General Lan, can you be good at chess?"

Lan Jiu was slightly stunned, but he didn't shirk it, and nodded in response, "I know a little bit about it!"

"Since that's the case, then I'll just say it!" Li Xiaofeng smiled lightly, "In my life, I am not good at cultivation or magic, and I am only proud of one thing, and that is to lead troops to fight... Every time I judge what kind of position a person is suitable for, I think the best way is to play chess! Chess is character, and chess skills also represent your skills in managing the army. ”

With a wave of his palm, he received Li Xiaofeng's eyes, and his left and right leaders also hurriedly moved in a pair of chess, which was actually the most ordinary Go.

"One black and one white, it is called yin and yang. The way to govern the army is all in it!" Li Xiaofeng said softly, "This black and white chess piece is like the two warring sides, what strategy and what means should you use to trap all the opponent's soldiers and horses to death?

Lan Jiu's palm shook his hand and laughed softly, "Then, General Li, let's start!"

The two of them sat down, with their hands raised, with Lan Jiu holding black chess and Li Xiaofeng holding white chess. After a while, on the chessboard, the two were already fighting, and it looked extremely tragic.

Several people on the side looked at the two people on the scene helplessly. Xi Tianming doesn't understand Go at all, so naturally he can't understand it at all, although Li Yixiang and A Ke can play Go, but they are not proficient in it, this comparison is also unable to understand the changes on the chessboard.

And whether it is Murong Yunfan or Li Xiaofeng's left and right leaders, although they often play chess, it is just entertainment, compared to professionals like Lan Jiu and Li Xiaofeng, it is not enough to watch at all.

In other words, the level of Go of Lan Jiu and Li Xiaofeng is even higher than that of those so-called Go masters.

The reason is not difficult to explain, although Lan Jiu is not good at Go, but his ability to remember and his ability to calculate beyond ordinary people in the brain domain make him far superior to his peers in all aspects of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. And look at Li Xiaofeng again, this man who is known as the laughing mad sage, after all, he is a generation of ghost talents, in terms of wisdom and conspiracy, I am afraid that few people in the entire human world dare to compare with him.

These two words transcend the existence of genius, and at that time, they all had a feeling of seeing each other and hating each other. This anxious fight also slowly provoked the desire to win between each other, and the fight between black and white was even more tragic.

Lan Jiu's palm slowly brushed the sweat on his cheeks. Yes, he was nervous, relatively rare, and the feeling of nervousness enveloped his heart, and it did not dissipate for a long time.

"General Li's chess skills are really brilliant, this immortal tribulation is really killing three birds with one stone, and he actually completely cracked my big dragon!" Lan Jiu said with a chuckle. The sunspot in his hand hesitated for a long time, but he didn't fall for a long time, but he was still calculating the best position for the next step.

It wasn't until the moment he confronted Li Xiaofeng that Lan Jiu finally realized how he got his reputation as a ghost. It was a huge pressure, no matter how developed his brain was, he couldn't calculate Li Xiaofeng's routine at all, and it could even be said that every step he took was in Li Xiaofeng's routine.

"What did Vice Admiral Lan say? Your countermeasures for the angular layout and playing single and not double are really clever, so that as a veteran, I have been trapped for so long!" Li Xiaofeng said softly.

Lan Jiu smiled slightly, and didn't dwell on it any longer, and the chess pieces fell. In fact, he has already fallen into a disadvantage, even if it is calculated for a long time, he only faintly feels a loophole in Baizi. If it is really Li Xiaofeng's flaw, then the outcome of this game will already be known, but if it is a trap left by Li Xiaofeng, then Lan Jiu will be weak.

The difference between one son will affect the overall result. This kind of mysterious relationship is similar to the real battlefield, probably this is the reason why Li Xiaofeng loves Go so much, right?

As the saying goes, chess is born from the place of breakage, and chess is played from the place of chaos. Without the slightest hesitation, Lan Jiu's sunspot directly landed a crucial blow towards that loophole, and it depends on the final result!

But at this time, Li Xiaofeng smiled lightly and said proudly, "Hehe, I've been fooled!"

Lan Jiu was stunned, but he had no regrets, and it was too late to withdraw again. But I saw Bai Zi attacking like a raindrop, attacking towards the black Zi that Lan Jiu had just fallen. Originally, the trap that Lan Jiu thought was immediately mediated by Li Xiaofeng, and he directly hit "the praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind", and launched a new anti-encirclement and suppression.

Lan Jiu's heart sank, but he didn't give up, and hurriedly struggled, after all, his big dragon had not been completely disintegrated.

The scene became fierce again, and several people around didn't dare to take a breath. After all, the result of this chess game will directly affect Lan Jiu's position in the Fourth Army. Although Li Xiaofeng has repeatedly stated that this is his personal test and has nothing to do with the final trial. But he is the soul leader of this Fourth Army, and his words of admission or non-recognition will directly affect the future development of Lan Jiu.

It's just that worrying can't change the final result. The final chess game seemed to be one-sided, but in fact, from the moment Lan Jiu stepped into the trap, he had already lost.

After the Blue Nine Great Dragon was broken, his last struggle became somewhat futile. And this Li Xiaofeng directly used the two weird tricks of Liuzi along the edge and Taixiang rooting at the same time, directly forcing Lan Jiu into a desperate situation, and in the end, it was a complete collapse, and there was no room for negotiation.

"Hehe, Vice General Lan, you lost!" Li Xiaofeng said in a low voice.

Lan Jiu was slightly stunned, a little annoyed by his incompetence, this loss means that he missed Li Xiaofeng's recognition. I was a little depressed, and I said helplessly, "I'm sorry... It's because I'm incompetent, and I'm still defeated after all, and thank you General Li for your guidance!"

Li Xiaofeng smiled lightly, "Although Vice General Lan lost, it doesn't matter, let's rest well after going back... I hope you can pass tomorrow's trial, and I'm looking forward to you becoming my lieutenant!"

"Hmm, General Li, what do you mean, I got your approval, but didn't I lose?" Lan Jiu was slightly stunned and asked ecstatically.

"Haha, isn't that obvious enough?" Li Xiaofeng chuckled, "You're the first person to force me to such a point with Go... Your conduct and chess skills are very good for my appetite, why don't I be happy to include such talents under your banner? Haha, don't say much, rest well, tomorrow's trial is the main event!"
