He Qi thinks that he is a rational person, and he always considers problems from the perspective of a third party, especially after coming to this era, this feeling has become more and more intense, or it is an instinct of human self-preservation, which makes He Qi behave in the world and walk on thin ice.

But that instinct is crumbling.

The first time was when I met a dog baby, a tragic epitome of an era, which made He Qi feel pity.

The second time was when I met Mr. Taiyan, which was a kind of literati patriotism.

The third time is Qian Xuan, a hot-blooded and pure patriotism.

The fourth time is Ryusi, first of all, Ryusi is definitely not a good person, but after hearing about his experience, it is difficult for you to hate him, We call it the sympathy of small people in the context of the big era for the time being.

When these few things lingered in He Qi's mind at the same time, He Qi took the initiative to have the idea of wanting to do something for this era, which is a dangerous signal, because when a little butterfly stirs its wings, no one can predict the consequences.

Fortunately, Takabe Michihei came, which just gave He Qi a chance, and it was completely a small thing that could be done for this era.

But Ju Chang didn't say what day it was, He Qi planned to pull Gu Rushui for a few days of special training, adjust the state to the best, and respond to the battle with the most perfect attitude.

Unfortunately, He Qi is passive and cannot actively control time.

In the afternoon, there were already a lot of people gathered in the chess hall, but suddenly two old acquaintances came, bringing the extremely crazy news that the stinky chess baskets were extremely crazy, and the invincible opponent of China had arrived in Beiping.

He Qi was concentrating on playing with Gu Rushui in the chess room in the backyard, only to hear a noise in the front yard, and then Qian Xuan came in and informed Gao Daoping of the news that he had arrived in Beiping.

He Qi stopped his movements in an instant and looked at the door.

Gu Rushui stood up "rubbing", becoming more and more excited.

Qian Xuan didn't leave, wandered at the door, and said, "There are two old acquaintances who want to see you, do you want to see you?" ”

He Qi retracted his gaze: "Who?" ”

Qian Xuan said with a little disdain: "Xi Zique and Gu Weixian." ”

He Qi didn't say anything, and put his attention on the chessboard again, meaning that he didn't want to see him.

Sometimes, the first meeting between people determines the relationship in the future, there is no doubt that Xi Zique and Gu Weixian are not the kind He Qi likes, and He Qi has no intentions for the two of them, so naturally there is no need to flatter.

Gu Rushui looked a little embarrassed, after all, he had some friendship, and said, "I'll go and see you." ”

After a while, Gu Rushui came back, he couldn't hide his excitement in his gestures, and said with burning eyes: "Brother Yubai, Mr. Zhang Yuru is also here, he chartered a carriage and brought all the chess players from the south." ”

He Qi was stunned.

Gu Rushui no longer had the heart to play chess, his excited expression was indescribable, the green tendons on the back of his clenched hand burst out, and he stared at He Qi tightly and said: "Yangzhou, Yangzhou, shame before the snow, all in the present day, Brother Yubai, I have a reluctant request, and please agree." ”

Just looking at Gu Rushui's appearance, He Qi guessed it without thinking about it, so he said, "Are you sure?" ”

Gu Rushui gritted his teeth and looked firm: "Fifty percent, even if I lose, there is still Brother Yubai." ”

He Qi pondered: "I'm afraid he won't agree." ”

"I have a way." Gu Rushui groaned, then closed the door and ran towards the front yard, thinking that he should have gone to Mr. Zhang Yuru to discuss with Lao Duan.

Not surprisingly, Gu Rushui's request was rejected by Michihei Takabe, whether he didn't want to be distracted, or he didn't want to leak his tactics in advance, in short, the reason given by Michihei Takabe was very reasonable, and people couldn't find fault with it.

This afternoon, the southern masters from afar also came, playing against the northern masters, learning from each other, the first floor and the second floor were suddenly blocked by the stinky chess baskets, and the crowds were crowded.

Lao Wu, Ah Hong and another waitress A Chun were busy finding the north, so Brother Xun had to temporarily act as a waiter, serving tea and water, Qian Xuan saw that there were so many people, so he simply continued to skip class and came to help.

In the end, because there were too many people coming, the gate was blocked, until Xuanwai Street, there was no way, He Qi discussed with Brother Xun and Qian Xuan, and opened the backyard and chess room.

Just like going to the Internet café to surf the Internet, go to the Qingba to watch the World Cup, go to the scene to watch the music festival, the stinky chess baskets enjoy the atmosphere of Go, but they are not particular about the environment, the pavilion in the backyard, the corridor has temporarily added a number of chessboards, and even the open space in the courtyard has a lot of people standing.

No one expected that Takabe Michihei's northward journey indirectly created a gorgeous festival in the Chinese Go world.

In the afternoon, after the famous masters of the north and the south discussed for a while, some people were on the wheel, some people were not on the turn, and they were fighting endlessly, so He Qi proposed to carry out the north and south chess system, that is, each round of the north and south sides selected a chess player to play, the winner can continue to play, to define the number of north and south chess players by the place of birth, and finally synthesize the number of wins and losses of both sides to determine the final victory, so that all chess players can play.

There was broad support for this proposal.

But new problems followed, He Qi was divided into the southern camp, and Gu Rushui was naturally counted as the southern camp, which caused the northern chess players to shout that it was unfair, and even the stinky chess baskets protested together: "Directly declare the south winning." ”

After repeated consultations, in order to maintain the equality of strength between the north and the south, four rules were set: first, He Qi was counted as the northern camp; Second, each player can only play twice; Third, ten chess players are selected to play; Fourth, the order is determined by drawing lots.

It must be known that before this, there had never been a national tournament in the history of Chinese Go, but I did not expect that by chance, the top 20 tournaments between the north and the south were finally formed.

After Mr. Zhang Yuru and Lao Duan learned about it, they also rushed to join in the fun, and the two gold owners contributed a total of 2,000 yuan of the ocean, that is, a total of 40 rounds, and each round rewarded the winner with 50 yuan.

There is no doubt that with the addition of fundraising, the top 20 tournament is suddenly full of competitive nature, and the chess players are also serious and ready to show their skills, so the game is naturally good-looking.

As the organizer of the event, "Heqizheng" is undoubtedly the beneficiary, accompanied by ruthless and endless busyness, in order to make time for the high road department three days later, the top 20 matches were compressed to two days, a total of 40 games, which had to revise the rules in order to be able to play several games at the same time, and had to stay up all night.

But the manpower of the service is not enough, Brother Xun'er's younger brothers, Shen Qiuming and Ruyi were all called to help, and even the dog baby did the cleaning work.

In the past two days, "Heqizheng" has successfully gone out of the circle, and domestic influential newspapers such as "Beijing Daily", "Declaration" and "Ta Kung Pao" have reported on the "Top 20 Go Players", and at the same time, focusing on the next Sino-Japanese Go war, He Qi jumped into the eyes of the people of the whole country for the first time.

It was at this time that an unexpected person came to the door at night.

In 1909, when Michihei Takabe came to China for the first time, he was introduced by Nakajima Bidoji to Lao Duan, who was the general manager of the Army Academy in Baoding at that time.
