The servant took the chessboard and put it on the table, Guo Quji and Lou Ziwang sat on their knees face to face. The two looked grim and played chess silently.

This chessboard is made of dark brown wood, with grooves under the chess positions on both sides of the game, and the middle of the chessboard is slightly bulging, which increases the difficulty of playing chess.

The chessboard is surrounded by a wooden frame with six black and white pieces on each side. After both players play chess, they flick their own pieces with their fingers in turn, trying to knock the opponent's pieces into the groove. Each side has three ejection chances, if the opponent's piece is shot, then each side has one less piece, if it is not shot, then the opponent has one less piece and the opponent has one more, the one with more pieces left in the chess position wins, the same is a draw, and another game is played until the winner is decided.

Guo Quji and Lou Ziwang guessed first, and Lou Ziwang said: "You play white chess, come first." ”

Guo Qujian pinched his fingers, attached his body, his index finger and thumb curled in a circle, and took a serious aim, and then his index finger popped out, and the chess piece shot at the opponent's black chess piece and shot it down. Zhang Xiaoyi couldn't help but shout.

Lou Ziwang glanced at it, the corners of his mouth showed a trace of disdain, he glanced at it for a while, his index finger popped out, and he also shot down the opponent's chess pieces.

The two sides drew in the first round. In the second round, Guo Qujian played white chess first. He glanced at the opposite side, leaned forward slightly, and popped out his index finger, but the white piece just brushed the black piece and rolled into the groove on the side of the board, while the black piece moved slightly and was still on the board.

Zhang Xiao couldn't help but let out an "ah". Guo Qu straightened up and shook his head slightly.

The servants watching the battle on the Lou family's side applauded. Lou Ziwang's face instantly blossomed, he pretended to be reserved, raised his hand and stretched out his index finger, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then calmed down and hit with a blow.

Black leads by one piece.

Lou Liang didn't want his son to win, so he was up and down at this time. Guo Cong came to mediate the dispute between Lou Xu and the two families, and if it ended in a different way, it would be embarrassing.

He secretly thought that if his son won, it would be okay if the mediation failed this time, but in this way, he would offend the Maoling Guo family, and the gains would outweigh the losses, so he couldn't help but feel anxious in his heart, and quietly glanced at Guo Cong.

Guo Cong looked calm and leisurely watched the scenery in the courtyard. He didn't think that Guo Quji would lose, and if mediation failed, it would be providential. However, thinking of the earnest expectations of the owner of Xu Zhuang, he sighed lightly in his heart.

In the third round, Guo Qujian stabilized his mentality and shot down the opponent's black chess.

Guo Qujian hit two of the three shots to complete his first game.

Lou Ziwang hit two hits and two hits, and if he knocked down white again in the third round, he would win with one more piece.

Thinking that he could win with one blow, he suddenly became nervous, looked up to the sky and took a deep breath, rubbed his fingers with his fists, and just after a while, he leaned over and prepared to play chess. After looking at it for a while, he pinched his fingers again, then held his breath and played chess with all his might.

He was eager to win, and he never wanted to use too much force, and the black chess piece jumped up violently, crashed straight into the slope of the chessboard, and flew out diagonally, and a cry of regret suddenly sounded behind him.

Lou Ziwang slapped his thigh hard in annoyance. Lou Liang's hanging heart fell suddenly, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

At the end of the first game, the two of them each missed once, and both sides had one son left on the chessboard, and the first game was drawn, and the second game was entered. The crowd did not dare to speak out.

The second game swaps pieces. Lou Ziwang had a gloomy face, silently sorted out the black and white chess, pushed the black chess to Guo Quji, and set up the white chess by himself.

Guo Qujian took the black chess pieces and set them up, and motioned to Lou Ziwang to play the white chess first.

Lou Ziwang pondered for a long time before making a move, and hit with one blow. Guo Qujian didn't dare to be careless, took a closer look, and hit it with one blow. Lou Ziliang played another son, and hit again.

It was Guo's turn to play chess. He inadvertently noticed that Lou Ziwang smiled weirdly, but he didn't care, he held his breath quietly, and his index finger popped out. However, something unexpected happened, the black piece popped up and broke into several pieces scattered on the board, and naturally failed to bounce off the opponent's pieces.

Guo Qujian was shocked and couldn't believe his eyes, and the servants of the Lou family who were watching the battle burst into cheers.

Lou Ziwang was ecstatic in his heart, and pretended to be calm and raised his hands to signal everyone to silence.

When it was White's turn to make a move, he bent his waist and looked at the opposite side, silently thinking in his heart that he could not make the same mistake as he did in the first game, and his fingers couldn't help but tremble. So he stopped again, asked someone to fetch a bowl of water, and took a sip to calm his emotions.

He clasped and pinched his hands, moved his fingers again, and leaned down to look intently.

The room was so quiet that it seemed that people's breathing had stopped, and all eyes fell on the chessboard.

Lou Ziwang finally made a move, the white chess piece flew up, and everyone's eyes followed together, watching the white chess piece shoot down the black chess in front of Guo Quji.

The servants of the Lou family roared up, and immediately quieted down again under Lou Ziwang's signal.

At this time, it was Guo's turn to make a quick move.

Lou Ziwang hit all three of his first moves, and finished the tournament with three white pieces and three black pieces.

Guo Quji hit one with two hits, and used two black pieces to bounce down a white piece. He had one more chance to eject, however, there was only one black piece on the board, and Lou Ziwang had two white pieces on his side. Therefore, even if he uses his black discs to bounce off the opponent's white discs, the result is that his own side has no son, and the opponent still has one disc, and wins.

Lou Ziwang felt that the overall situation had been decided, smiled happily, and called the servants to get wine.

Lou Liang was embarrassed, and he didn't dare to look at Guo Cong, thinking about how to end it.

Zhang Xiaoyi was a little breathless, looking at Guo Qujian with a nervous expression, and was about to speak, but was stopped by Xu Xinxin's gaze.

Guo Quji knew in his heart that it was Lou Ziwang who made a trick and secretly cracked the chess pieces. He picked up his last remaining black piece, examined it carefully, pinched it lightly with his fingers, and put it back on the board.

He glanced at the opponent's chess pieces, leaned forward slightly, thought for a moment, took a deep breath, rested his right hand on the chessboard, formed a circle between his index finger and thumb, and spread his three fingers to stabilize his hand and hold his breath. He felt that everything around him did not exist, and his heart was ethereal, and before he knew it, his index finger suddenly exerted force, and the black chess piece popped out violently.

I saw that the black piece drew an arc over the board on the board, brushed against a white piece on the opposite side, and knocked it down.

Lou Ziwang didn't care, and felt that this was normal. However, to his surprise, the black piece still hit the edge of the chessboard with a strong wind, and bounced back with a bang, flew to Guo Quji's side, jumped lightly, and landed right on the chess position. But I saw that there was a black piece and a white piece on each side of the chessboard, flickering with faint fluorescence.

"Come back." Lou Liang was stunned. He was also stupid, he couldn't understand that playing chess could be played like this, he couldn't stop muttering to himself, and others couldn't hear what he was saying.

"Returning" is the ultimate technique of playing chess, which can be seen in the "Book of Chess". Lou Liang has been immersed in gambling for many years, and he has never seen anyone resort to such a method. Lou Ziwang was even more unheard of, he stared at the chessboard with both eyes, staying there like a puppet, unable to believe that all this had really happened.

The unusual draw caused a lot of amazement in the room, and Zhang Xiaoyi even bowed down to Guo Quji.

In the third game, Lou Ziwang had no fighting spirit and missed three times in a row. He was in a trance for a long time, stretched out his hand and slapped the chessboard, his expression was gloomy, and he said to Guo Quji: "You won." ”

Guo Quji looked back and smiled at Xu Xin.

Lou Liang sighed, he didn't care about winning or losing, even if his son won, it would not prevent him from finding an opportunity to make peace with the Xu family in the future. However, Lou Ziwang was competitive and used a trick to win Guo Quji, which made him feel very ashamed in front of Guo Cong.

He looked at his son for a long time, and his heart was stunned. He has been carefully cultivating his son, and the most he says is to get ahead and be competitive. Now I also reflect on whether I am too biased, which caused my son's arrogant and flamboyant style.

"If you don't know how to converge, you will inevitably invite disaster." Lou Liang was also afraid when he thought of this, and he thought about it in the future, and he would talk to his son more about the way of life that the eldest husband can stretch and bend.
