Lin Yun stood in the center of the palace, facing the three monarchs and the hundred civil and military officials of the whole dynasty, he still said with an unchanged face: "Since the three monarchs want to test me, then come ahead." ”

"It's good for young people to be confident, but don't be too blindly confident." The Interior Governor laughed, and then glanced at a young man in the image of a scholar.

The young man immediately stood up, clasped his fists with his hands at Lin Yun and said, "Shangguan Yongqi, who is a third-grade bachelor, is fortunate to compete with Brother Lin. ”

"What do you want to compare to me?" Lin Yun asked expressionlessly, not even looking at the young man when he asked.

"Brother Lin's martial arts talent is amazing, and he will not compete with Brother Lin in the next literati. Dare to ask Brother Lin what other fields besides martial arts? Shangguan Yongqi's tone was first pretended to be humble, and then turned into naked mockery.

Shangguan Yongqi, who is self-defeating and high-minded, looks down on those who are brave and unscrupulous, have developed limbs and are simple-minded, because they can compete in martial arts or martial arts.

But Lin Yun's next words completely subverted his concept.

I saw Lin Yun say in a faint tone: "I don't have many fields, I can only astronomy and geography, natural physics, refining alchemy, array talismans, puppets, chess strategy, strategic layout, martial arts, martial arts, physical illusions, swords, guns, halberds, martial arts, and ......."

Lin Yun was like a mountain and flowing water, and he kept talking a lot, making Shangguan Yongqi look confused.

Almost all the fields he could think of were listed by Lin Yun at this time, and there were not many fields that could be called meetings? This is simply naked pretense!

"I only know a little about these areas." After listing all the fields, Lin Yun finally added.

Hearing Lin Yun's words, all the civil and military officials looked at Lin Yun with disdain.

Just a little understanding, this young man dares to say that he can?

It's really not self-aware at all!

"Since you said that you know a little bit about chess strategy, then let's compare with you in the game." Shangguan Yongqi showed a confident smile.

With a wave of one hand, Gonggong Li immediately said: "Go into battle." ”

In just a few breaths, a stone table was carried into the palace by two guards and placed in the center of the palace.

On the stone table is a chessboard engraved with equilaterally symmetrical formations.

The array shone with a blue glow, and it was clearly an effective magic circle.

As long as you fill the circle with various runes, the formation can be triggered.

And the carrier of the rune is the chess piece of the battle chess.

Shangguan Yongqi said to Lin Yun with contempt on his face: "I don't know if Brother Lin, have you ever played this kind of array chess, let me introduce you first." ”

"The rules are actually very simple, we use chess pieces to fight in the formation, eliminate the opponent's layout, and form a set of formations, that is, the winner."

Lin Yun didn't speak, just silently came to the front of the formation.

Shangguan Yongqi also came to the front of the formation, faced Lin Yun, and said confidently: "Don't say that I bully the small with the big, so let's do it, within thirty steps, if I can't defeat you, this game will be considered as my loss." ”

His tone was full of rebelliousness, without the humility of a scholar.

And the eyes he looked at Lin Yun were also full of contempt, and he did not have the bearing of a literati at all.

A game of chess is actually a theoretical confrontation between two armies, and two commanders set up the layout. This process is very complex and cumbersome, and it usually takes hundreds of steps to end a round.

Even sometimes it is not surprising that when you meet your opponent, you can take a thousand moves in a game.

However, Shangguan Yongqi boasted about Haikou and said that he would defeat Lin Yun within thirty steps. It can be seen that in terms of chess strategy, he didn't take Lin Yun seriously at all.

Thirty moves to defeat your opponent, which may sound like an exaggeration. But the civil and military officials present were not surprised, but felt that it was normal, as if Shangguan Yongqi should defeat Lin Yun within thirty steps.

"Shangguan Yongqi is a genius in the field of chess strategy, although he is not as good as the scholar Murong Tuohai, but he is also one of the few existences in Southern Xia. Lin Yun is a martial artist, who will be his opponent? ”

"That's right, Lin Yun only knows cultivation, where does he know chess strategy. I think Shangguan Yongqi wants to defeat Lin Yun, and twenty moves are more than enough. ”

"Well, I think so too."

Finally, Lin Yun was completely deaf to the discussion of the civil and military officials, and only asked Shangguan Yongqi in a faint tone, "Can you start?" ”

Shangguan Yongqi waved with one hand: "You start first." ”

Lin Yun didn't talk nonsense, immediately grabbed a red chess piece and landed on the chessboard without hesitation.

Seeing Lin Yun playing chess without thinking, Shangguan Yongqi sneered in his heart.

In his opinion, Lin Yun's performance is simply not understanding chess skills, and he is completely messing around.

I don't even understand the most basic skin, and I'm embarrassed to say that I understand a little, and I'm bragging at all.

"Look, this is how the chess is played." Shangguan Yongqi grabbed the grapefruit in his right hand with his left hand, used the thumb and index finger of his right hand, and politely picked up a blue chess piece and placed it on the chessboard with confidence.

Lin Yun didn't have the heart to take care of Shangguan Yongqi at all, and still grabbed a red chess piece without thinking and landed on the chessboard at a faster speed.

Shangguan Yongqi shook his head helplessly: "Brother Lin, you are completely messing around. It seems that if I want to defeat you, it will not take thirty steps, twenty steps will be enough. ”

ts genuine debut {

After Shangguan Yongqi finished speaking, he grabbed the second chess piece and put it on the chessboard comfortably.

The two of them went back and forth like this, and they made a dozen moves in this way.

Shangguan Yongqi gradually began to realize that this game of chess was getting more and more wrong.

According to his initial estimate, he could complete the game in less than fifteen moves.

But now that he has reached fifteen steps, this game of chess is not finished, but he feels that he needs more steps to complete.

What the hell is going on?

Why do I get more and more steps when I walk?

In Shangguan Yongqi's eyes, this chess game is like a mirage. It's obviously close at hand, but there's no end to it.

Did something go wrong?

Shangguan Yongqi couldn't understand that Lin Yun was obviously messing up, but why would he disrupt his rhythm?

Seeing Shangguan Yongqi's hesitation, he began to fall into deep thought. The civil and military officials present also looked puzzled, and they didn't know what the situation was.

And Murong Tuohai, who once worshipped Lin Yun, saw the key point: "Wonderful, wonderful! ”

Hearing Murong Tuohai's words, all the civil and military officials looked at him curiously.

"Scholar, what are you going to do?" A military general asked confusedly.

"Heaven must not be divulged."

Murong Tuohai replied lightly, and then mocked Shangguan Yongqi: "What's the matter?" Brother Lin Yun is obviously messed up, what are you still thinking? ”
