With Li Xiaoqiang's "prophecy" coming true, the two matches of the ring match in Shencheng also ended. Japan won two in a row and tied the aggregate score at 2-2. The two sides came to the same running line. At the same time, it also poured cold water on the rising mood of the Chinese people. Originally, with the victory of the 1st tournament, plus the two consecutive victories of the Chinese side in the first two sets of the 2nd edition. The Chinese side is in high spirits for a while, and some people already feel that Japanese Go is not as powerful as they imagined. This time, the Chinese side lost two games in a row, and the wind of public opinion and media immediately turned around.

According to the habits of the domestic media in this era. That can definitely only report good news and not bad news, so the loss of these two sets of games, all the media chose to deal with it in a low-key manner. Li Xiaoqiang personally saw a reporter from a large media come all the way to Shencheng for an interview, and after 5 or 6 days of eating, drinking, and Lazar, he also wrote a few articles with enthusiasm, it should be said that this reporter's observation of the game is quite vivid, but unfortunately because of the loss, his newspaper sent a text message after the game, adding up to less than 50 words.

The farewell party that night was quite high, and everyone met in Tokyo again. The format of the tournament is to play two sets in one city, with China and Japan taking turns to play each other, with an interval of about one month. I have to say that the sponsors of this competition are very shrewd, they don't spend much money, but the publicity effect is very good. The hardware requirements for holding a Go tournament are not very high, and it is said that cities in China have broken their heads in order to grab the right to hold two games.

There was a little accident at the farewell banquet that night. According to Li Xiaoqiang's identity, he was originally a Go enthusiast to watch. But Fujisawa Hideyuki designated Li Xiaoqiang to participate, and there was nothing to eat, and the old man insisted that Li Xiaoqiang sit next to him.

Li Xiaoqiang began to suspect that the old boy Fujisawa Hideyuki was deliberately cheating himself. Doesn't he know that the people of the Lu Dao country like to row seats the most? If you say it casually, it's a pity that our staff in charge of arranging seats will be busy for a while.

"It's none of my business, I'll just have a dozen soy sauces." Li Xiaoqiang muttered silently in his heart.

Hideyuki Fujisawa was the head of the Japanese delegation and the natural guest of honor. Therefore, it is frequently toasted. The old man was originally an alcoholic, and Moutai Wuliangye was definitely not comparable to any sake they had. So the old man drank so much that he was elated.

It's a pity that although the old man is a good wine, it is a pity that the amount of wine is not high. When it was his turn to pay back, the old man had done something wrong.

"Li Sang, I'll salute you first for this first glass of wine, you must give face!"

Even the translator next to him was confused by this, and looked at the old man hesitantly. The old man said again with righteousness and sternness. Now Li Xiaoqiang heard it clearly, and everyone also heard it clearly. Li Xiaoqiang was a little at a loss for a while.

"You're trying to kill me!" Li Xiaoqiang scolded in his heart, don't you know that the bureaucrats of all sizes who think they are qualified to wait for you to return the first past are stretching their necks and waiting. You call this "pit daddy", you know?

In front of the public, Li Xiaoqiang had no choice but to pick up a glass of water that he didn't know what it was and touched the cup with the old man.

"With your small amount of alcohol, when "Deputy Chief Engineer Li" went to the construction site, one could let you three."

Li Xiaoqiang secretly despised it.

Fujisawa Hideyuki may not think the atmosphere is warm enough, and actually knocks on the table:

"Please don't take the momentary victory or defeat to heart, the momentary victory or defeat does not mean anything. I see a sense of vitality in your country's Go players. This is exactly what we in the Japanese chess world lack. You already have a chess player like Nie Jun who can compete with Japan's top masters, and more importantly, you have Li Sang. ”

Fujisawa Hideyuki took Li Xiaoqiang's hand:

"You may not know what I am for, and I want to toast Li Sang for the first glass of wine. I'll be honest with you, it's because I'm selfish. With the vision of my 50-year Go career, Li Sang will definitely become an epoch-making chess player! When the world spread his story, my old man was also stained so that people could know that I had toasted his wine. ”

There was a pause, followed by applause.

"Li Sang, come on!"

This will Fujisawa Hideyuki did not have a hippie smile, but said to Li Xiaoqiang with a serious face.

Li Xiaoqiang and his two lives together lived for nearly 40 years. At this time, his eyes were also a little red, and he nodded solemnly. But in my heart, I thought:

"The old man doesn't seem to be very drunk, then" Deputy Chief Engineer Li "let the three of him probably not move, well, let the two should be so-so."

After the hustle and bustle, everything returned to calm. After watching the game, Li Xiaoqiang should go home. Along the way, Li Xiaoqiang was full of scenery, no different from the ancient champion parade street. From Shencheng to Hongcheng, the provincial capital of Ganyuan, how to say that Li Xiaoqiang also won the gold medal of the "Hua Luogeng Cup" on behalf of Ganyuan, and the province should also express it, and then from the province to the city, and from the city to the county...... Li Xiaoqiang has a bit of a headache for such an arrangement, Hongcheng to Cuiwei is only more than 200 kilometers, but Hongcheng to Qiancheng is more than 400 kilometers. This arrangement is equivalent to running more than 300 kilometers more than going home directly, and the "Beijing-Kowloon Railway" has not yet been opened in recent years, and there is not even a shadow of the expressway.

"I don't know if my little arms and legs will fall apart."

Li Xiaoqiang thought about it while making a gesture.

There was one more person all the way out of Shencheng. That's right, it's Zhang Zhidong and Zhang Da reporters. During this time, Zhang Zhidong and Lu Fanyun were already very familiar, and the two of them were almost about to cut off the head of the chicken and burn the yellow paper. Zhang Zhidong is also a top amateur master in China, and he was pestered by Lu Fanyun to play a lot of chess along the way. Zhang Zhidong came over, and in his own words, he wanted to write an article with "depth". Because he asked for help, he had to pinch his nose and accompany Lu Fanyun to play chess. Therefore, Lu Fanyun's level soared at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye. After arriving in Cuiwei, this guy couldn't wait to pull out the freshly baked 3rd section of Lao Wang in Cuiwei County, and rubbed it violently, and let out a fierce breath.

Passing by Hongcheng, in addition to participating in normal celebration activities, Li Xiaoqiang and others also went to visit Xiong Lao. It should be Dong Lao and Chen Chaoyue Jiuduan, and their upper-level public relations have played a role. Ganyuan Province also set up a Go team, Dong Lao is the head coach, and Jiang Chenghua is the first team member. Li Xiaoqiang could feel Jiang Chenghua's gratitude. Although he himself knows that there will be no breakthroughs in chess, but he can take what he likes as his own work, so why not be satisfied?

Of course, the focus of the work of the Go team is to cope with the national children's competition to be held in July. Although there are still many variables, Xiong Lao obviously sees Li Xiaoqiang as his second team member.

Li Xiaoqiang didn't want to miss this game, he knew that the Chinese Go "Seven Little Dragons" in this game would be born, although their level may be a little worse than Li Xiaoqiang, but their talent and potential should not be underestimated.

After dragging along the way, Li Xiaoqiang finally returned to Cuiwei County.

"It's finally back!"

Li Xiaoqiang stretched.
