Chapter 771: The Friendship of the Three Kingdoms
Originally, every Go tournament, the three Go powerhouses of Hanguo, Fusang, and Dongyi would hold a party the day before the game.
There is a repertoire at the fraternity party, that is, for the contestants of the three countries to hold a friendship exchange.
And it's not chess that is being studied, it's martial arts.
This habit is a bit strange, Go and martial arts don't seem to be next to each other at all!
Actually, there is a reason for this.
Twenty years ago, in a tournament, the three Go powerhouses held a fraternity party before the game.
At that time, the top seeds of the three countries were all at a similar level of chess, and they had their own wins and losses, and no one dared to say that they could win or lose on the field.
What's even more coincidental is that the top seeds of Han and Fusang have all practiced martial arts, and their martial arts are quite not weak.
In addition, although the top seed player of Dongyi Country does not know martial arts, the second seed player of Dongyi Country is quite strong in martial arts.
As a result, at the sorority, somehow, he went from chess to martial arts.
After the on-the-spot battle, the second-seeded player of Dongyi Kingdom actually defeated the top-seeded players of Han Kingdom and Fusang Kingdom, and the two of them had blue noses and swollen faces.
Of course, the No. 2 player of Dongyi Country didn't take much advantage, and also on the official match day, he came on the field with a black face.
But the problem is that he is only the No. 2 player, but the number one player in Dongyi Country is perfect.
As a result, the number one player of Dongyi Kingdom relied on a perfect mentality to defeat the top seed player of Han Kingdom and Fusang Country with a blue nose and swollen face, and won the championship of that tournament in one fell swoop.
Han Guo, who has a blue nose and swollen face, and the top seed player of Fusang Country, ended up being laughed at.
Dongyi is the weakest of the three countries in terms of comprehensive national strength and land area, and now it is actually crushing the Han Kingdom and Fusang in both martial arts and chess, but how can the players of these two countries be convinced?
Because of this, when it came to the next Go Tournament, the three countries organized a fraternity again, and they didn't talk too much nonsense at all, and directly started martial arts exchanges.
In the end, the Han players were in the limelight, not only beating several seeded players of Fusang and Dongyi at the sorority party, but also won the championship by the Han players in the subsequent Go tournament.
After coming and going, the pre-competition sorority of the three countries has become a repertoire, and it has also become a weather vane for who will eventually win the championship championship.
Maybe it's because the players of the country who won the martial arts competition at the sorority are more motivated, or maybe it's just a coincidence, anyway, the biennial Go tournament, from 20 years ago to the present, there are 10 full years, and there are nine championships, all of which are taken away by the players of the country who won the martial arts competition at the sorority.
The only exception is the last tournament.
At that time, because the Han national team did not have players with strong martial arts, they invited Ding Huang and Ding Ying sisters and brothers over.
The chess skills of these sisters and brothers are well-known in the martial arts world, but compared with real chess masters, there is still a big gap.
As a result, in that year's championship, Ding Huang and Ding Ying sisters and brothers made a big show at the sorority party, and several martial arts players in Fusang and Dongyi were embarrassed.
But in the official Go competition, Ding Ying was eliminated in the qualifiers, and Ding Huang barely reached the top 32.
The champion of the last tournament also failed to fall into the hands of Han players, and Xu Yingchun, the top seed player of Han State, was defeated by Dongyi Xiaoqi God, who had dominated the chess world for several years.
The curse that if you win the martial arts at the sorority, you can win the championship has been broken.
And the Han players have also suffered merciless ridicule from other countries, saying that they are very good at martial arts, but their chess skills are poor, so why not just practice martial arts, why bother to eat in the chess world?
For this reason, the general leader of the Han team in the last session was severely criticized by the relevant leaders, saying that he was not doing his job, and the Go game was a Go game, so what was the use of finding two people with high martial arts skills.
Even Ding Huang and Ding Ying, sisters and brothers, have been ridiculed for a long time because of this.
Now Ge Lianyi suddenly mentioned this, and specifically pointed out that Meng Hao was "the same as Senior Sister Ding", although it was to squeeze Meng Hao, but in fact, it also meant to mock Ding Huang.
Ding Huang was so angry that he turned his face in an instant, and when he got up, he wanted to teach Ge Lianyi a lesson, Ge Lianyi knew that he was not her opponent, but he giggled and hid behind Team Leader Dong.
Team Leader Dong became more and more gloomy, and said with a sneer: "What's the matter, Ding Huang, do you want to do it with me?" Then you can try it! ”
Team leader Dong is not only superb in chess, but also extraordinary in martial arts.
It's a pity that he is too old, and when he was in the chess world, the three Go powerhouses had not yet formed the habit of exchanging martial arts at the sorority.
Therefore, he often sighs that if he can be a few decades younger, he will definitely be able to defeat Fusang and Dongyi in both martial arts and chess, and achieve two bumper harvests.
Now that he is a master of the Grandmaster Realm, this time he was invited out by the relevant leaders, precisely because the Han team made a big joke in the last championship, and the relevant leaders hope that he, the double grandmaster of martial arts in the chess world, can play the role of a ballast stone, and do not let last year's history repeat again.
This is the reason why he knew that Ding Huang's background was amazing, but he still dared to be unceremonious to Ding Huang.
The double grandmaster of the martial arts and chess world is his abundant capital that is proud of the world.
After all, Ding Huang had just broken through to the Grandmaster realm, and if he talked about martial arts attainments, he was indeed a little behind Team Leader Dong, but it was not without a hard fight.
With the absolute body of the Feitian faction, it is not easy for Team Leader Dong to defeat Ding Huang.
But Team Leader Dong didn't know that Ding Huang had broken through to the Grandmaster Realm, otherwise he wouldn't dare to put on such an old-fashioned posture.
Meng Hao hurriedly stretched out his hand, pulled Ding Huang to sit down again, and said with a smile: "Senior Sister Ge has the heart to let me be in the limelight, that's great, as long as Team Leader Dong has no opinion!" ”
"I heard that there is no Director Dong, it seems that our Meng chess player is very confident in achieving a double harvest!"
Ge Lianyi chuckled, showing more and more yin and yang weirdness, "I'm just afraid that I will win the martial arts at the sorority, but I will be slapped in the face during the real competition, then it will be a big joke again!" ”
This woman offended a group of people with one sentence, not only Ding Huang was so angry that her face turned red, but even Xu Yingchun was very uncomfortable.
It's just that Ge Lianyi is with Xu Yingchun, and Xu Yingchun naturally won't turn against each other and can't get along with Ge Lianyi.
Meng Hao stretched out his hand to pull Ding Huang, not letting her have a seizure on the spot, but said to Ge Lianyi with a smile: "I don't dare to say that I have achieved a double harvest, but if I want to steal the limelight from Senior Sister Ge, it must be no problem!" ”
"I heard that Senior Sister Ge's chess skills are poor, and it's just because she knows some martial arts, so she entered the national team, right?"
"But Senior Sister Ge's martial arts seem to be a lot worse than Ding Huang, right?"
"Besides, Ding Huang made it to the top 32 in the last tournament, I wonder how far Senior Sister Ge can go in the championship this year? I don't know who has such bad eyes, and really treats a piece of brass as gold! Gee! ”
Meng Hao shook his head again and again, only to make Ge Lianyi's eyes open angrily, and Team Leader Dong was also panting.
It turned out that Ge Lianyi was indeed a poor chess player, and she hadn't even participated in the domestic selection tournament before, which was why she couldn't see Meng Hao perform martial arts with her own eyes, but just "heard" that Meng Hao knew martial arts.
But she has practiced martial arts, and her kung fu is good, and the reason why Gu Liangyou will accept her as an apprentice is actually to cope with the martial arts competition at the sorority.
This is basically a tacit understanding formed between the three Go powers, after all, the championship is mainly based on chess skills, and it is impossible to eliminate players with real Go talent in order to select players who can do martial arts.
That's really because of choking, and the dove occupies the magpie's nest.
Therefore, in order to cope with the martial arts competition at the sorority, when the three Go powers organize the national team, they will absorb a few additional chess players who know martial arts, so that they can play a role in the sorority.
This is also the reason why the Han national team invited Ding Huang and Ding Ying to join the national team last year.
Unexpectedly, the sorority was in the limelight, but the real tournament failed to win the championship, but became the laughing stock of all countries.
So this time, when the Han Kingdom formed a team to participate in the competition, they didn't dare to set aside a special quota for those with strong martial arts.
Like Ge Lianyi, his chess skills are not too bad, and his martial arts are not too high, as long as he can deal with a few moves at the sorority, he will complete the task.
As for Meng Hao, as the top seed player of the Han team, he also has martial arts, which is really unexpected for Wang Qisheng and Zhang Xu.
But Team Leader Dong and Ge Lianyi did not participate in the selection competition, so they did not see Meng Hao subdue the male killer in the male and female double kills with their own eyes.
In their eyes, Meng Haoqing is thin and thin, and he looks like a weak scholar, even if he knows martial arts, how tall can he be?
Eighty percent was because the killer that day was too weak, which showed Meng Hao.
Therefore, Ge Lianyi deliberately mentioned the sorority, but it was just to remind Leader Dong that since Meng Hao did not abide by the rules, he might as well arrange Meng Hao to compete with the martial arts masters of the other two countries at the sorority.
Once Meng Hao is defeated by the martial arts masters of those two countries, not only can he severely defeat Meng Hao's sharpness, but it is impossible to play normally in the Go arena.
At that time, Team Leader Dong can take advantage of the topic to play and teach this disrespectful leader and unruly stinky boy to his heart's content.
Team Leader Dong naturally knew that Ge Lianyi actually had selfish intentions, that is, to attack Meng Hao's purpose, and then to hit the morale of the entire Wang Qisheng camp.
However, Team Leader Dong was originally biased towards Gu Liangyou's camp, otherwise he would not have challenged Meng Hao at the first time.
Unexpectedly, Ding Huang and Meng Hao not only did not give an inch, but also fought back extremely sharply.
Team Leader Dong couldn't hold back, and regardless of the players from other countries in the hall, they were all looking at the jokes here, and shouted loudly in a loud voice: "Who do you say has bad eyes?" Who says that brass is gold? ”
Meng Hao smiled and was about to answer, when he suddenly heard someone say, "What's the matter?" There is such a fierce commotion in this hall, is it good to pay attention to the impact? ”
Meng Hao knew just by listening to the voice that it was head coach Zhang Xu who rushed over.
