Guangheju is a standard old-fashioned restaurant in Beiping, without a paved house, it looks like an ordinary courtyard house on the surface, and when you enter the gate, there is a golden bronze signboard hanging on the shadow wall - Guangheju Restaurant.

In the gate, there is a big black oil bench for the diners to rest, and the running hall guy is full of energy and spring breeze standing in front of the door, and he sees Brother Xun and other people coming from a distance, so he warmly greets: "Mr. Lu Da is here!" Then he shouted inside: "Six, Jardine Hall!" ”

"Jardine Hall" is Xun Geer's designated box, in fact, there is an unspoken rule of the old Beiping Hotel, that is, a guest often comes, the store guy will note down a box that the guest often goes, so that when the guest comes next time, the guest will take the initiative to arrange.

There are also some boxes that are extremely luxuriously furnished, but they are usually not open to the public, even if they spend a lot of money, the shopkeeper will not agree, which is specially reserved for some noble people, for example, there is such a special box next to the "Jardine Room", called "Tianyuan Pavilion".

At this time, it was the time of the meal, the "Guangheju" was full, staggered, talking and laughing, endlessly, Brother Xun and the others had just crossed the threshold, bypassing the shadow wall, and heard the men running at the door shouting: "Mr. Chengzan, Professor Gu Da has arrived!" ”

Everyone stopped in unison!

A group of six or seven people entered from outside the door, and the leader was Yang Chengzan, in his forties, thin and thin, wearing a black robe, calm and relaxed, looking full of culture, but his eyes were like torches, and his gestures showed wisdom.

The person behind him is an old man, wearing a small hat, wearing a robe and horse coat, dragging a pigtail behind his head, holding a cigarette gun in his hand, and there are two personal attendants behind him, one serving tea and the other serving cigarettes, which is the unknown Gu Tangsheng.

Yang Chengzan and Mr. Taiyan have discussed several times, Qian Xuan and Brother Xun are disciples of Mr. Taiyan, so they naturally know Yang Chengzan, and they must be treated with courtesy by their juniors, not to mention Professor Gu, who is an old acquaintance who "loves and kills each other".

Although everyone scolded them in the newspaper and couldn't wait to greet their ancestors, they saw it in private, and those who should salute had to salute, although Qian Xuan was very unhappy, but he was helpless.

Brother Xun and the others got out of the way, stood aside, and bowed, but after seeing Professor Gu nodding in greeting, he smiled, tied the cigarette gun behind him, swaggered to Qian Xuan, and teased: "Master Qian, have you smeared too much tiger oil recently, why are you so violent?" ”

The potential meaning of this is that Qian Xuan has recently opened countless trumpets and sprayed people crazily in the newspaper, and the one who has been sprayed the most is he Gu Tangsheng, and he finally met him offline today, and the old man Gu naturally wants to say a few words and get angry.

Qian Xuan is a hot-tempered hot-blooded young man, where can he endure this, and immediately replied: "Professor Gu recently accepted a new concubine, if he is really old and strong, in terms of violent, I am far inferior to Qian someone." ”

"Humph!" Professor Gu narrowed his eyes and sneered: "Qian Ye's article is well written, and his lip work is even better, so let's ask the old man for advice in person another day." ”

Qian Xuan naturally didn't hesitate, and chuckled: "It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, it just so happens that Mr. Chengzan is here, so it's good to be a witness." ”

Professor Gu immediately replied, "Okay! Today, walking. ”

Seeing that the two of them were angry, staring at each other, no one gave in, and they were about to fight on the spot, Yang Chengzan had no choice but to come forward, coughed lightly, and said: "Deqian, in a few days, I will visit Mr. Taiyan, and I will talk about it then." He added: "Professor Gu, don't worry about the juniors, let's go to the banquet first." ”

Professor Gu squinted a pair of old eyes, glanced at Qian Xuan, and then remained silent, and followed Yang Chengzan inside.

However, today's beam is concluded, and the two sides have to have an offline appointment to discuss the outcome of the battle.

Yang Chengzan and the others entered the "Tianyuan Pavilion", He Qi followed Brother Xun into the "Yihe Hall", only to see Qian Xuan sulking, with a straight face, as soon as he entered the door, he sat down angrily, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it with his head up.

Brother Xun was calm as usual from beginning to end, and after beckoning the rest of the people to take a seat, he habitually took out a cigarette and smoked it, as if thinking about something, and fell into silence.

Xi Zique and Gu Weixian, naturally heard of Professor Gu's name, but they had never heard of anyone daring to choke Professor Gu in public, but today they have gained a lot of knowledge, and they have a deep understanding of the upright Mr. Deqian that Brother Xun often mentions in his letters.

It's a fierce man!

And Xu Shoushang sat on He Qi's side, like a trick, took out a small notebook from his body, and was recording what happened just now: "On September 22, Professor Gu and Qian Xuan met Guangheju, and Gu said: Why is it violent, is the tiger oil powerful? Qian said: Gu Lao should be strong, and it is better to be some. Gu was furious and wanted to be good at writing. Money is not afraid, so it should be. After Yang Chengzan broke the siege, the two retreated. ”

Seeing that no one was talking, He Qi felt a little depressed, so he poked his elbow and joked: "Brother Deqian, what is tiger oil?" ”

For a while, everyone looked at each other, and they couldn't help laughing, Qian Xuan didn't hear it coldly, his face turned red, and he said hurriedly: "Brother Qi, don't listen to his nonsense, I never use that thing." ”

"You don't need to, so what are you in a hurry to explain?" He Qi said deliberately.

Qian Xuan was really a dog in his heart, it was really yellow mud and fell off his crotch, it was not but was, he pointed at He Qi and said: "Okay, you He Qi, you slander people out of thin air, he said that I have good kung fu, but now it seems that I am not as good as you." ”

He Qi's joke caused everyone to burst into laughter, and the depressing atmosphere was swept away.

Xu Shoutang smiled slightly, picked up the pen and remembered: "The dispute between Qian and Gu was unsuccessful, and Yu Zhi was speechless, why did he say: Why is tiger oil?" Qian was embarrassed, and said: Don't use it, it's a joke. He Xiao said: If you don't use it, why embarrassment? Qian had nothing to say, his face was red, so he got up and said: Brother He's words are very good, and he can't do it. ”

.......

The guys in the store began to serve the dishes, many of them had already been prepared, and one after another a table of dishes was set up after a while, and after a while, a table was filled, Brother Xun got up and raised his wine glass, everyone drank it together, and the banquet began.

He Qi was about to take a bite of food to eat, but he didn't want the mat on the opposite side to get up, toast to He Qi, and said sincerely: "Brother Qi, I just took the liberty of it, I will do this glass of wine first as a respect." ”

"Where! Where! He Qi returned a toast.

After drinking a glass, Xi Zique poured a full glass of wine, and said, "Brother Qi, this second glass of wine, there is something you want to ask for, and please be sure to agree."

"Brother Zifu, just say it." He Qi said briskly.

"I don't know the name of Master Ling? I have something important to ask for, and I want to ask the commander to go out of the mountain, and then fight with Takabe Daoping, and raise the prestige of my country. Xi Zique red-eyed, continued: "5,000 years of Chinese history, 4,000 years of Go history, to the previous dynasty, my Chinese Go has been dominant in the world, during which a large number of famous national players emerged, leaving a large number of famous chess games, 200 years ago, Huang Longshi and Xu Xingyou's "blood and tears", 100 years ago, Shi Xiangxia and Fan Xiping's "Ten Danghu Games", people who heard it still remember, all of them are full of admiration and pride. But only a hundred years have passed, and my Chinese Go has been bullied by the small country of Dongyi to this point, and the high department is only a four-stage chess player, but it is crisscrossing the north and south of my China, like a no-man's land, and no one can stop it. ”

"Gao Daoping is even more wild in Yangzhou, but to seek a defeat, the masters of the north and south heard it, all feel humiliated, 32 famous people gathered in Yangzhou, but unfortunately, they were all defeated and returned."

"I'm waiting for the younger generations to shame the ancestors!" Xi Zique said sadly, looked up to the sky and drank it, choking and coughing.

In 1911, the 2,000-year-old feudal imperial system in China was overthrown, and while the times were changing drastically, Huaxia Go was also undergoing a transformation to remove the old and replace the new.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, it was a period of alternation between the traditional "old law" (the old chess method with "zazi") and the "new law" (the modern chess method that abolished the "zazi").

With the contact and exchange between Chinese chess players, a new wind of learning the art of Chinese chess has been set off in the chess world, and at the same time, it has also made Chinese chess players aware of the huge gap with Yuben Go, which can be said to make all Chinese chess players desperate.

32 Chinese masters, Yangzhou defeated, gave a fatal blow to the Chinese Go world, it must be known that Gaobu Daoping is only four paragraphs, and in the country, there are three major giants such as the Central Chess Academy, the Pisheng Society and the Fangyuan Society led by Ben Yin Fang Xiuya, and any disciple under his disciples is not something that Gaobu Daoping can resist.

The rise of Go, starting from the Meiji Restoration, has seen the rise of comprehensive national strength, which has made many celebrities in the Go world, while in China at the same time, the country was bombarded by the cannons of the great powers, and the declining appearance of the country made the emotional needs of Go, which was biased towards the spiritual level, continue to decline.

This eliminated the strengths of the other, and the game continued to develop, until the fourth section of Takabe Daoping came to China, killing the Quartet, sweeping the invincible opponents in the north and south, marking the official catch-up and surpassing of China.

From the dark age to the return to the peak, Huaxia Go has gone through the era of Wu Qingyuan, the era of Nie Lao, which can be matched, to the era of comprehensive overtaking in the 21st century, and has gone for a total of about 100 years.

The origin of modern Go is Japanese Go, that is, Xiaomu Go, which is completely different from the ancient Chinese chess, which emphasizes the layout and operation, while the ancient Chinese chess due to the restrictions of the seat system, the opening game is similar, so it emphasizes the front and middle game fighting, and the power of attack.

The current Chinese chess players have not yet been able to adapt to this huge change, and in the case of missing the first move, it is difficult to reverse through the middle game, so they make a wrong move and make a wrong step.

He Qi completely came out of the modern Go system, and can adapt perfectly, in a game of rapid chess with Xi Zique, the almost crushing victory, so that Xi Zique was extremely shocked, and couldn't help but think of the way Gao Daoping defeated the Chinese chess players, the two have the same goal, coincide.

Therefore, Xi Zique desperately wanted to know who He Qi's teacher was, and wanted to invite him out of the mountain to fight with Takabe Daoping, and he would be ashamed.

Facing the scorching mat sparrow, He Qi pursed his mouth, and didn't know what to say for a while, thinking: "32 famous people have all failed, I'm just a scum of the fifth industry, what can I do?" If you have the heart to kill the thief, you can't go back to heaven! ”

He Qi drank in silence.

And Qian Xuan, who was on the side, had already been ignited by Xi Zique's words, and his blood was surging, and he slapped He Qi on the thigh and said, "Brother Zifu, Brother Qi's teacher is far away in the sky, close in front of him, it is Brother Qi himself." He has lived in Nanyang since he was a child, and when he grew up, he went to the West, and he only returned to the country recently, where is there a famous teacher to teach him? ”

"Not bad!" Brother Xun smoked a cigarette and nodded.

"Ah!!!h Xi Zique and Gu Weixian were shocked when they heard this, their eyes straightened, and their eyes immediately became more and more hot.

Xu Shoushang took out a small notebook again, reopened a page, and began to record: "He Qi, no word yet, born in Nanyang, studied in the West, recently returned to China, and is good at chess ......"
