Chapter Twenty-Nine: Unraveling the Endgame
There are also seven people participating in the chess competition, including Su Siqiao, Xiao Xianyue, Xu Jiaojiao, Ling Miao, Mu Yuting, Ding Qingqing, and Shen Hanjiao.
After a short period of farce, the chess game is about to begin, and several people have already sat in their designated positions, unlike the piano game, the questions of the chess game are exactly the same for the sake of fairness.
There was a half-played game on the table, but the table was surrounded by wooden planks to make it fairer.
After all, the distance between the positions of several people is not very far, and if you don't use a wooden board to block the chessboard, everyone will see the chess game of the person sitting next to you, and it is inevitable that someone will cheat, so this is better.
Naturally, there was a maid standing next to everyone, and these maidservants were used to show everyone in the audience that the steps of each move in the chess game were taken, and as long as the person they were watching took a move, they would show it to the people again on the huge chessboard standing next to them according to the steps of that person.
So as long as one person on the stage has a move, everyone will know it at the first time.
"桄榔~"
A maidservant rings the gong, which also means that the game has officially begun.
Several people on the stage also looked at the chess game on the chessboard, and of course Su Siqiao was among them.
It's an endgame, and it's an unsolvable game.
This chess game is very famous, because it is a game set by the great power in the founding period of the country, and many people who study chess or are good at chess know this chess game.
There are also many young people who occasionally study this endgame in private.
At the beginning, some of the moves were almost the same, so not long after the game started, several people on the stage started their own actions, and the maids also showed everything on the stage to everyone in a timely and rapid manner, and everyone was in a hurry to play this game of chess, but only Su Siqiao sat firmly and did not act.
"Hahaha, I'll just say she can't do it, Zixi, you see, it's been half a pillar of incense, and she hasn't made any moves, it seems that she Su Siqiao is going to be at the bottom of this game!"
Qingluo looked at the woman on the stage, leaning back and forth with a smile, she was really a person who couldn't get on the stage, and thought she was so powerful!
Li Zixi looked at Su Siqiao's huge chessboard, and none of them left, and she felt a lot more comfortable.
Hmph, I thought she was so good, but when she first came to the chess game, she lost so badly, presumably she will lose even worse in the next two games!
"Seeing that she has not fallen, she must have no research on this chess game, otherwise an ordinary woman will definitely take a step or two."
"Hahaha, Zixi, don't care if she takes a few steps, in short, I'll be happy if she's embarrassed!"
......
Mo Ziqing couldn't help frowning when she looked at Su Siqiao, this woman wouldn't not take a step, right?
Originally, he was still attracted by the women's previous game, but now it seems that he is still a straw bag, thinking about it this way, he still has a great chance of pinching her, thinking of this, he can't help but have deep eyes and a smile.
"Third brother, have you seen a girl from a particular family, or have you thought of something happy? Why such an expression? The prince couldn't help but quip.
"Brother Huang smiled, he didn't think of anything happy, he just thought that the women playing chess on the table were very interesting."
"Oh? Does the third brother think all women are interesting? Or is one of the women interesting? ”
"Big brother and third brother, what are you two talking about?" The second prince also interjected and quipped.
"Oh, second brother, you don't know, the third brother has taken a fancy to a girl from another family!"
"Hahaha, what's so surprising about the royal brother, the third brother is not married among you and me, this seems to be a good thing, I am really afraid that the third brother will not marry a daughter-in-law for the rest of his life, and he will die alone!"
"The two royal brothers still don't make fun of me, the game on the stage is still more exciting."
"Hahaha~ Okay, let's watch the game!"
......
Su Yanwen and Su Wan'er saw Su Siqiao's performance at this time, and the two of them couldn't stop laughing.
"Sister, look at her shameful appearance! If it were me, I would be too embarrassed to sit down on the stage, I would have run home.
If you don't go down, admit defeat openly, and it's better than her sitting like this! still sits with a dead face and doesn't leave. She doesn't know anything about chess on weekdays, so she really doesn't understand what she's doing? Die to save face and suffer sin! ”
"Wouldn't it be better for her to do this, sister? The more embarrassing the better, hahaha, and stealing the limelight from the two of us, now it's good, the limelight is snatched away, and it's even more embarrassing!
The more embarrassed she is, the happier I am, huh! Where is this? There are two more in the future, although I know that she knows martial arts, but she doesn't know anything about painting, and she will be embarrassed by the time, originally we planned to make her lose face, and it seems that the plan has not failed. ”
......
Although Liu Shuyun also knew that Su Siqiao didn't know anything about chess on weekdays, but since the women's piano won the first place, she always felt faintly uneasy in her heart.
Although more than half of the time has passed now, Su Siqiao has not been left behind, but she just feels that Su Siqiao will not give up like this, and always feels that she still has a hidden hand.
Her opinion of this woman has changed more than a little recently, the woman is like a different person, although her thoughts are very evil, but she just thinks that something is wrong with the woman, even if she hides deeply on weekdays, she will not suddenly become another person, at least the habits on weekdays will not change, but now Su Siqiao is different, there are no small habits in the past, even small details.
is so young, if she is acting, she will always show her feet, but the woman's performance is seamless, which is too abnormal!
She looked at Su Siqiao on the stage, the woman was still the same as these days, even if she was about to be at the bottom, but she still had a gentle and smiling look on her face, she didn't seem to care about anything but seemed to care very much, and Liu Shuyun's heart was even more uneasy when she saw her like this!
......
Mo Yuyan's slender and bony fingers were gently shaking a cup of tea, and Shangguan Zhiyan couldn't help but say when he saw this scene:
"Lord Wang, do you think this second miss of the Su family is winning or losing? How do I feel like she's waiting for something? But there's no way she's going to crack this game, right? After all, the person in this world who can solve this endgame is you, the prince. Although the world does not know. ”
"You think she can't solve this endgame?"
"Naturally, it can't be cracked, this game is created by the Taoist machine on the Nine Immortals Mountain, if it sounds good, it will be the endgame, and if it doesn't sound good, this is the war chess, how much can she understand the formation on the battlefield? And this war chess is not just a battle game.
I admit that she is the general's daughter, and she may have studied the matter of arranging the formation, but the prince must also know that her father is a master of the formation, but he is also helpless against this endgame! What's more, I also heard that this second Miss Su doesn't have much attainment in chess, almost no attainment! Even though not all of what others say is true."
"And what do you mean she's waiting for?" The corners of Mo Yuyan's mouth hooked slightly.
"That's why I wondered, if she could get down, why didn't she start? If not, what do you seem to be waiting for......? ”
"Since you don't understand, let's keep reading, and when the time comes, we'll know the answer."
......
Time passed, and there was still half a pillar of incense about to end the game, but Su Siqiao still didn't start moving.
Because this endgame is really too difficult, the few steps that everyone takes are almost the ones that everyone knows.
So at this time, none of the people on the stage made any more moves, and they all twisted their eyebrows and looked at the chessboard in front of them.
"Look, look, Su Siqiao is moving!" One person exclaimed, and everyone looked at the woman on the stage.
Just when everyone was bored waiting, Su Siqiao made a move, and she picked up a sunspot from the chess basket.
"Bang" the sunspot fell on the plate, and the maid hurriedly showed the woman's way of walking to everyone in the men's and women's seats.
Su Siqiao's first move went to a position that everyone couldn't understand.
"Will she go down? If you don't know how to go down, don't mess around, what is this~"
"That is! The route she took in this move is really unimaginable to normal people! How can you get down here? It's clear that you'll die here! ”
Everyone said a word, all kinds of discussions and puzzles, the most discussed was the reason why Su Siqiao took this step, and everyone doubted whether she would be able to play chess!
......
Su Siqiao didn't care about the discussions and opinions of everyone in the audience, her movements were very fast, the first step was completed, followed by the second step, and then the third step.....
Naturally, because of her peculiar way of moving, the discussion in the audience has been in full swing, some people scold Su Siqiao for not going down, don't mess around, some people watch the excitement, and some people fan the flames. Including several princes, they also discussed.
Only Mo Yuyan, the king of glass, looked at Su Siqiao on the stage with deep eyes, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, this woman really surprised himself again and again, when the woman took the first move, he knew that she had solved the endgame.
It's just that he didn't expect Su Siqiao to solve this endgame in just one hour after he took the stage, you must know that it took him a whole morning to solve this endgame!
......
There were more and more sunspots on the chessboard, but the voices of people discussing became quieter and quieter, and finally the whole audience fell silent!
The time was about to come, and just when the incense burned to the last point, Su Siqiao dropped his last son, and the gong sounded. It's game time.
However, no one in the audience made any sound or made any movements, and everyone stared at Su Siqiao on the stage or surprised, questioned, or admired.
Even some of the respected literature in the men's seat looked at Su Siqiao with a look of amazement.
Who would have thought that the woman who was still laughing and teasing them just now, and the next moment they would solve the endgame of countless powerful and talented people, and she would actually solve it! Who else can do it?
These old antiques who have studied chess for fifty or sixty years can't solve the endgame, today they were solved by a little girl, how can this not be surprising and impressive!
