"The night when Chengqian Palace welcomed back the little prince," Bai Ling said softly, "You mentioned General Shen to me, do you remember what you said at that time?" ”

"I advise Si Yao to let go and not to treat."

"Yes, as a result, Shen Jichuan left Beijing this morning, and he still took the emperor's order...... Bai Ling said softly, "Heng Yuanjun is really a good means, everything is in your calculations." ”

Heng Yuanjun smiled slightly, "Bai Si Yao is overrated, this is not my credit...... It's just that in the dark, it's just a mistake. ”

"......" Bai Ling frowned slightly.

Heng Yuanjun picked up the black and white pieces on the chessboard and retrieved the chess basket - the winner on the chessboard was not scored, but he was no longer in the mood to play alone.

"Come and play chess?" Heng Yuanjun said softly.

"I won't." Bai Ling replied.

"If Si Yao wants to learn," Heng Yuan Jun said, "I can teach you." ”

Bai Ling raised her eyes slightly, and she chuckled, "...... Do you strategists like to talk about serious things when you play chess, and you can't speak if you don't play? ”

"Anyway, Si Yao, there is no one else to see now," Heng Yuanjun said in a low voice, "Since I have this leisure, why don't you do it." ”

"The rules of Go are complex and varied, even if you teach them now, I won't be able to learn the level of playing against you at once," Bai Ling smiled, "What's the fun of abusing a novice?" If Heng Yuanjun really has Yaxing, why don't we change the way we play......"

Heng Yuanjun looked at Bai Ling.

Bai Ling took the chess basket pushed by Heng Yuanjun and said softly, "Have you ever played backgammon?" ”

Heng Yuanjun shook his head.

"Like Go, backgammon is played at the intersection of horizontal and vertical lines, and whoever joins five pieces on a horizontal, vertical or diagonal line first wins. ”

This rule is simply too simplistic.

"Is that all?"

"For novices, that's it," Bai Ling nodded and said, "You can get started once you hear it, Hengyuan-kun can try it first."

Heng Yuanjun made a gesture of please.

Bai Ling opened the chess basket and saw that there were sunspots inside, and looked at Heng Yuanjun, "Are you sure I hold the black?" ”

“…… Doesn't matter. ”

"Okay." Bai Ling played chess with two fingers and landed directly on Tian Yuan in the middle of the chessboard, "Then this game is not a win or defeat, let Heng Yuanjun feel the gameplay of backgammon first." ”

Heng Yuanjun chuckled lightly - although he had indeed never tried this kind of rule before, Bai Ling's tone of victory still made him feel a little youthful and playful.

Heng Yuanjun held the white and followed the slope above the sunspot that Bai Ling had fallen.

“…… What do you mean by 'by mistake'? Bai Ling asked.

"Bo Si Yao is very smart...... Can't you guess? ”

"What Heng Yuanjun means is nothing more than that Song Bozong led this troop transfer." Bai Ling said softly, "And then? I don't believe you'll be indifferent to all this. ”

On the chessboard, Bai Ling moved extremely fast, almost without thinking, every time Heng Yuanjun was about to fall, she immediately followed up the next step.

Heng Yuanjun was not moved by Bai Ling's aggressive rhythm, he always maintained his own rhythm of thinking.

However, he soon discovers that something is not right.

From about the thirteenth hand, he fell into a kind of passivity. On the chessboard, Bai Ling's moves show a certain pattern, which is connected to each other, protruding on all sides, and always appropriately cutting off his moves.

It is as swift as the wind, and aggression as fire.

Heng Yuanjun fell into the long test, he looked at the black and white pieces that had already occupied half of the chessboard, and began to calculate the next changes - he soon found that no matter where the pieces were, Bai Ling could end the game within nine moves.

But how did it get to this point?

Heng Yuanjun frowned, he sighed softly and decided to vote.

Bai Ling, on the other hand, took a step ahead of him and threw the sunspot in his hand on the chessboard.

"I said it, this game just now doesn't count." Bai Ling said softly, "It's just to let Heng Yuanjun feel the gameplay of backgammon."

"There is no forbidden way to play backgammon, and the moment Heng Yuanjun asked me to hold the black, I already lost."

Heng Yuanjun lowered his eyes, "Please wait for Bai Si Yao, give me some time to review." ”

Bai Ling sat quietly opposite him, looking at Heng Yuanjun's face that was slightly serious because of deep thought.

Maybe there is a reason why these people like to play chess with others.

In fact, not only playing chess, but also all competitive events can make people see some temperaments that cannot be seen in ordinary life.

In the face of his various provocations, Heng Yuanjun's position was not chaotic at all, and after seeing the defeat, he was not aroused by any sense of victory or defeat, but began his own review.

Or, he has long learned to hide the waves in his heart without leaking.

After a long time, Heng Yuanjun finally raised his head, "...... In this rule, the first move does have a big advantage, and I don't think there have been any major mistakes, but I have always been one step short. ”

"Yes, that's why black was banned, but where the first move appeared, there was a double-active three-"

On the chessboard, Boling made three sons that could form a living four.

"Double Four—"

With a slight movement of her fingertips, she moved the chess pieces into one piece to bring out the situation of two and four pieces.

"Or a long connection—"

A word fell between the three sons of the same line, making them a connected line of six sons.

"All of them are immediately defeated, this kind of rule is called 'Lianzhu'."

Heng Yuanjun held his arms in his arms, staring at the chessboard, and his eyes moved slightly for a while.

Bai Ling raised his head and said softly, "But even so, the advantage of the sunspot still cannot be contained. In the following ten years, the chess players added the rules of 'three-hand exchange' and 'five-hand two-dozen' on the basis of Lianzhu. ”

She softly explained what a three-hand swap was and what a five-hand two-dozen was, and demonstrated it in a falling piece.

Heng Yuanjun looked at her gesture on the chessboard, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

"Interesting." He said softly.

Heng Yuanjun narrowed his eyes slightly—these restrictions are even more interesting than the game itself.

"yes, because the balance of this game is not good from the start."

Bai Ling looked at Heng Yuanjun, who was looking at him calmly.

"I was thinking that Hengyuan-kun would probably find it interesting......"

"Really?" He also looked at Bai Ling, "Why?" ”

"Because, even after making so many bans, Kuroko's advantage is still undiminished."

Bai Ling's gaze cooled, "People change the nineteen-way game to the fifteen-way handicap, and require that the three moves of the black side must be placed in the designated position, but the winner of black is still more than the white player......"

She sorted out the black and white pieces scattered on the chessboard and put them back into the basket.

“…… Isn't that like what is happening all the time in this palace? ”

Heng Yuanjun was slightly stunned.

He suddenly laughed, laughed for a long time, and couldn't help but give a light high-five.

"Then I don't know who Bai Siyao thinks is holding black and who is holding white?"
