Chapter 297: Gambling on the country
The screen jumps.
In the Yangcheng Imperial Palace, Emperor Yu specially arranged an elegant and simple chess room for playing against Zhu Dan.
Emperor Yu stood with his hands in his hands, overlooking the palace gate.
He's waiting.
The edict issued yesterday warmly invited Zhu Dan, who was lecturing abroad, to come to Yangcheng to play with him.
It has been three days since the edict was issued, but Di Yu did not wait for Zhu Dan.
The person who came was a student of Zhu Dan.
The young man knelt three times and bowed nine times, and was very polite, obviously trained by Zhu Dan very well in terms of etiquette.
The teacher said that he had discovered a rare chess genius. As long as you cultivate it carefully for 50 years, you will definitely be able to become a new generation of chess masters, and you will be able to play with Your Majesty at that time. ”
Di Yu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then smiled.
"The chess saint has good intentions, you go back and tell the chess saint, I am very grateful to him."
Fan Li listened to Di Yu's words, but felt that he was insincere.
At this time, Di Yu's voice came in Fan Li's mind.
"I don't know when I no longer call him by his name, but call him 'Chess Saint'."
"Actually, I was so anxious that day, and it was impossible to wait for the so-called chess master fifty years later."
"All I want is Zhu Dan!"
Really.
Only one day later, Emperor Yu issued an edict again and invited Zhu Dan to come to Yangcheng to see him.
And after another three days, the man came.
It's still not Zhu Dan, but it's his son Ling.
Ling said: "My father was slightly ill and was recuperating in Longshan, so he couldn't come to see His Majesty, so he sent a minister to accept the guilt for his father." ”
Di Yu had no choice but to appease Zhu Dan and his son, and said that he had no intention of blaming the chess saint, but he had not seen the chess saint for many days, and he missed it very much.
"Zhu Dan spent a whole decade spreading chess to the world."
"Ten years is a long layout that I have never experienced."
"Ten years, I and everyone in the world have entered the urn."
"Only Zhu Dan is clearly trying to lure me into playing against him, but he can endure it for ten years, even at the cost of provoking me, and he has to pretend to avoid playing against me."
"And I've lost my patience."
Di Yu sighed, and Fan Li's face was solemn.
Zhu Dan, the son of Yao.
The ten-year layout is really extraordinary.
"Finally, I issued an edict for the third time and forced Zhu Dan to leave the mountain."
"In order to ensure that I can see Zhu Dan, I not only sent an edict, but also sent an army to 'escort' Zhu Dan to Yangcheng."
"This time, I finally saw him."
The screen jumps.
Di Yu, who was wearing a dragon robe and was full of shock.
Because he was dealing with a sick man who was dying.
Zhu Dan came, but he was carried here.
Fan Li was also shocked.
Didn't you say that the layout was ten years?
Why is it so sick?
Zhu Dan on the sickbed was like a candle in the wind, as if he might choke at any time.
"Chess master, I feel guilty."
Obviously, Di Yu didn't expect this to be the case.
Zhu Dan's hair has lost more than half, and his beard and eyebrows have turned white.
His face was sickly, and his skin was paler than paper.
"Your Majesty's heart...... The minister knows. ”
"However, the minister has always avoided His Majesty, there is a ...... There's a reason. ”
Zhu Dan's voice was very weak, but the words he said immediately aroused the curiosity of Di Yu and Fan Li!
"What's the reason?!" Di Yu blurted out and asked.
"Ahem, ahem!"
Zhu Dan coughed for a while, but actually sat up with his body bold.
His appearance of answering questions at the expense of his body made Di Yu panic.
Fan Li frowned and said, "Could it be that Zhu Dan is pretending to be sick?" ”
In his ears, there was indeed a ghostly voice from Emperor Yu.
"It's not pretending to be sick."
"If he pretends to be sick, he will not be able to hide it from me."
"Zhu Dan has been laying out for ten years, and I have let go of my wariness of him ninety percent."
"This last layer of vigilance, as an emperor, I will never be able to let go."
Fan Li nodded, indicating understanding.
The emperor is the supreme in the world.
It is precisely because he is the supreme in the world and enjoys endless glory and wealth in the world, how can the great position not be coveted by others?
The so-called world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, this is actually an empty word.
The royal land, many people want to occupy it.
Wang Chen, many people want to remove the word 'minister'.
The Son of Heaven is also called the monarch's father, and the people are also called the people.
How comical is it that the father is forever suspicious of his son?
"Di Yu, how did you let go of your last layer of vigilance?" Fan Li muttered to himself.
Actually, there is no need for Di Yu to answer.
The answer is right in front of him, it is Zhu Dan, who is half-dead on the sickbed.
"I will always be suspicious of Zhu Dan, unless he dies."
"Zhu Dan is really smart, and he understands that."
"So, he let himself be dead but not die, and finally won my trust."
"I ...... Completely deceived by him. ”
Di Yu's voice, the meaning of regret became more and more intense.
Fan Li's eyes widened, staring at Zhu Dan on the sickbed.
Self-harm?
Only self-harm can accurately grasp the severity and torture yourself to this state.
"Chess Master!"
Di Yu's voice trembled, because of nervousness, because of fear, because of repentance.
But he still insisted on asking:
"Why, the chess master has refused to come to see me for so many years?"
"I just want to talk to you about a game, chess master, you should know that in the whole world, my chess is almost invincible."
"Or maybe only you, the chess master, can help me go further!"
Fan Li shook his head regretfully.
The emperor could not hide his thoughts, and even admitted his desires bluntly.
It is obvious that Di Yu has completely lost the initiative.
"Minister......
Zhu Dan spoke weakly.
At this time, his face was flushed, and he looked as if he was burning the last of his life force.
But Fan Li felt that this might be due to Zhu Dan's successful trick and excitement.
"The minister knows that His Majesty is talented and intelligent, and he is a great chess player."
"Looking at the world, it is true that only the minister is the most suitable to be His Majesty's opponent...... Ahem, ahem! ”
"But, Your Majesty, the minister doesn't dare!"
Zhu Dan suddenly raised his voice!
His eyes widened and his face was full of fear and remorse!
"Your Majesty, the minister is wrong, the minister is guilty!"
"Minister...... You shouldn't have invented chess! ”
Di Yu was stunned.
He wondered, "Why did the chess master say this?" I have been taught the way of chess, and within ten years of cultivation, I have improved to a great realm......"
"Nope! No! No! ”
Zhu Dan shook his head in pain, old tears in his eyes.
"The minister has foreseen the end of the chess road."
"It's a terrifying picture, and anyone who wants to challenge the pinnacle of chess can pay a terrible price!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty...... If the minister puts His Majesty in danger, it is a crime that deserves death!! ”
When Di Yu heard this, he was first shocked and then delighted.
"Is it true?"
"Chess Master, tell me quickly, if I reach the pinnacle of chess, what realm can I reach?!"
Zhu Dan shook his head again and again, with the intention of preferring to die rather than obey.
Di Yu is in a hurry!
After all, he cared more about his cultivation than about Zhu Dan's body.
"Zhu Dan!"
"I'm even honored!"
"Now I order you, immediately tell me the truth about the top of the chess path!"
At the sound of an order, the majesty is incomparable.
Zhu Dan did not obey immediately, but pleaded with a pleading face.
However, he only met Di Yu's resolute gaze!
"Minister...... Yes, sir. ”
Zhu Dan's voice was extremely painful, but Fan Li didn't listen to it quite right.
The emotion is too precise, as if he traveled through the former world, those skilled voice actors.
Acting?
As soon as the word popped up in Fan Li's mind, he heard Zhu Dan say slowly.
"The way of chess is the way to deduce the general trend of the world."
"Nineteen vertical and horizontal roads are the game, and the chess pieces are the potential. The master who controls the situation with potential has the mind and wisdom to sit on the country and dominate the world. ”
"So, the pinnacle of chess...... It is also the pinnacle that can be achieved by deducing the emperor. ”
"What is the pinnacle of the emperor?!" Di Yu asked eagerly.
Zhu Dan trembled and raised his right hand, stretched out his index finger, and slowly pointed to the sky.
"The king of the world is the emperor of men."
"The king of the Three Realms is the Emperor of Heaven."
"The apex of the emperor is the true supreme who is in charge of the three realms of billions of trillions of beings, whose power is boundless, and who is immortal."
"The minister called it [Great Heavenly Venerable Xuanqiong High God], that is, the Emperor of Heaven."
Di Yu's breathing became rapid.
His face was flushed, and his face looked quite similar to Zhu Dan's.
If anyone who doesn't know sees them like this, they must suspect that the two of them have drunk a good meal.
"Chess Saint, I don't want to be just the emperor of men, I want to be the emperor of heaven!"
After Di Yu finished speaking, he also felt that he was too urgent, and forced a trace of an embarrassed smile on his face.
"I'm not just for myself."
"Today, except for me, I'm afraid no one is qualified to become the Emperor of Heaven."
"Chess master, right?"
Zhu Dan did not hesitate, he strengthened his strength and nodded: "Your Majesty's wisdom, wisdom, and merit are unprecedented, even if the sages and emperors are far from being able to reach them. The minister also thought that His Majesty should pursue the Heavenly Emperor's Dao. ”
Emperor Yu was overjoyed, thinking that Zhu Dan was moved by himself.
I only heard Zhu Dan continue: "But Your Majesty...... Simulating the imperial limit with chess is a great price to ......"
"For the sake of the Heavenly Emperor Dao, no matter what the price, I am willing to bear it!"
Zhu Dan seemed to be moved by Di Yu's spirit.
The two looked at each other for a long time.
Finally, Zhu Dan nodded slowly.
"Your Majesty is determined, and the minister knows everything."
"In this case, the minister is willing to play against His Majesty and help His Majesty to comprehend the Great Dao."
Zhu Dan trembled and took out an object, which was still a chessboard made of Shang Jun's bones and blood.
Di Yu has not seen this thing for ten years, and when he sees it again, he vaguely feels that the blood color of the chessboard is a little thicker, and the appearance of the black and white chess pieces has not changed much, but it faintly exudes tyrannical anger.
Di Yu frowned unconsciously.
"If Your Majesty can use the country as chess and the world's luck as a bargaining chip, the minister can use the [Shangjun Chessboard] to start the battle at the pinnacle of chess!"
"In this battle, the stakes are very big."
"If Your Majesty is defeated, you will lose the world!"
"If Your Majesty wins, then you will have an epiphany on the spot of the Heavenly Emperor Dao, although it will not immediately become the Heavenly Emperor, at least there is a clear direction."
After listening to Zhu Dan, Di Yu stood up and took a few steps back!
"I'm going to lose the world!?"
Di Yu's face changed suddenly, and even a trace of murderous aura flashed in his eyes!
His defensive heart against Zhu Dan ten years ago was instantly awakened by these words!
Di Yu's first reaction was that this was Zhu Dan's conspiracy, and he dared to be a thief!
However.
Zhu Dan looked up at Di Yu on the sickbed, his eyes were honest and clear, as if he had a clear conscience.
Di Yu also seemed to reminisce.
He looked Zhu Dan up and down, this person has been spreading chess for ten years and has traveled the world alone.
The clansmen who followed Zhu Dan in the past were disappointed in his focus on chess and gradually left him.
Such a lonely person?
Such a lonely shadow and remnant lamp?
Why does he covet the throne of the emperor?
The suspicion in Di Yu's heart gradually dissipated, he took a deep breath, he originally wanted to relax, but he first smelled the rich medicinal fragrance in the chess room.
The medicinal fragrance seemed to cover up the dead breath on Zhu Dan's body.
"He is already a dying man, so why should I be careful?"
Fan Li's ears came from Di Yu's voice again.
"I will always remember that it was with this mood that I chose to believe in Zhu Dan's loyalty."
"The Great Xia Society is cut off, and the sins of all I am ......"
The screen jumps.
Yangcheng Palace, square.
"Heaven and earth are a mirror."
"I will start this chess game with the luck of the country!"
"If you win, you will open the way of the Emperor of Heaven!"
"If you lose, you are willing to lose everything!"
Di Yu's expression was very solemn, the [Shang Jun Chessboard] was placed in the middle of the square, and Zhu Dan was even lifted out of the entire hospital bed on the opposite side.
After Emperor Yu finished speaking, Zhu Dan also shouted in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty is invincible, and you will definitely be able to create a new height of the foundation of the human emperor!" The servants are willing to sacrifice themselves to help Your Majesty succeed! ”
As the words fell, the [Shang Jun Chessboard] burst out with a sky-high blood-colored pillar of light, straight into the clouds!
The next moment, the heavens and the earth change color!
In the sky of Yangcheng, the sea of clouds, which was originally as white as snow, was like blood dissolving in water at the moment when the blood-colored pillar of light invaded, and it was dyed bright red in an instant!
Play, begin.
Fan Li could see that Di Yu was fully engaged in the chess game.
Because he was so focused that he neglected one important thing: the passage of time.
Mortal games, a cup of tea, a stick of incense, at most half a day is the end of a game.
Chess masters play against each other, or three or five days, or ten and a half moons.
The legendary chess saint, who has been playing against each other for many years.
A game of chess.
One year, five years, ten years?
However, Fan Li watched the chess game of heaven and earth, and in the blink of an eye, it was ten cold and hot winters from winter to spring.
Decade!
A whole decade!
Di Yu and Zhu Dan played against each other, and they had just finished the twenty-sixth hand.
The chessboard is empty, and there are few pieces.
But something terrible happened!
Di Yu was covered in cold sweat, half of his black hair on his sideburns turned gray, and his face was sallow and his lips were purple.
On the other hand, Zhu Dan still looks old, but he has already stood up from the sickbed.
Zhu Dan stood with his hands in his hands, his back was straight, and his eyes were sharp!
He held the black, and as soon as he raised his hand, a black spot fell on the chessboard.
But at this moment, the chessboard has covered the entire palace square!
Each piece is the size of a boulder.
"Your Majesty, it's your turn." Zhu Dan said with a smile.
Di Yu ignored him, staring at the chessboard.
"My Yongzhou is lost...... Liangzhou also lost ......"
Emperor Yu once divided the world into nine states, namely Jizhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Yuzhou, Liangzhou, and Yongzhou.
In the first ten years, the son was twenty-six, and the emperor of Kyushu in the world lost two.
"Your Majesty, there must be a winner in the game, this is common sense." Zhu Dan said with a smile.
Fan Li found that while Zhu Dan was speaking, the hair on the top of his head was much thicker.
The new hair is also black.
"That's not right!"
"Zhu Dan, why is my chess strength far inferior to yours?!"
"You spread the chess way of the world, I have studied hard day and night, and I have already understood it all!"
"Even the chess path that you only told the disciples around you during your recuperation in Longshan, I tried my best to get it."
"Why do you still have new moves that I've never seen before?"
"Liars !!!!!"
Di Yu suddenly yelled!
"Zhu Dan, you deceive the whole world! Deceived me! ”
