However, compared to the reward, whether it is the Great Song Dynasty or the Western Xia, they all care more about their face, and compared to the gold ten thousand taels, it is naturally nothing.

Liu Zhongfu is a great player in the world chess of the Great Song Dynasty, and the only ones who can compete with one of them are Zhu Budo, Jin Shiming, and Wang Han, so they are full of confidence in Liu Zhongfu and the Great Song Dynasty.

If even he can't win, I'm afraid that Da Song is in the chess path, and no one can beat Xixia.

I saw that the two of them guessed first, Duan Yanqing guessed by luck, and the black son went first.

This couldn't help but make the mood of the Great Song Baiguan suddenly tense.

Duan Yanqing first dropped a sunspot on each of the two diagonal 44 roads, and Liu Zhongfu also dropped a white spot on the other two 44 roads.

Duan Yanqing then had a son on the "equal" 63rd Road, and Liu Zhongfu should have a son on the 93rd Road.

The speed at which the two fell was very fast, and after a while, they each made seventeen or eighteen shots.

It seems that the two of them fall casually, but in fact, after a few steps, they already roughly know the reality of each other, and each child falls is extremely cautious, and they dare not be careless at all.

Murong Fu is also a good player in this way, and because he is sitting behind Helian Tieshu, he can see the situation on the chessboard clearly.

Seeing that the two of them were in close contact with each other, they had a variety of clever tricks, and they secretly praised themselves in their hearts, and they were a little more fascinated.

Not only him, but many civil officials in the Great Song Dynasty were also attracted by the chess game, and they all stretched their necks and looked at the chessboard, and even Emperor Zhezong's face showed a bit of amusement, and he watched it with relish.

He has the best viewing angle, from top to bottom, with an unobstructed view of the board.

Although the eldest princess of Xu Guo is proficient in piano skills, she is still young after all, and she can't have everything, so she is not so interested in chess.

Her eyes couldn't help but look around curiously, she had never seen many officials in the court, and after taking a look, she subconsciously looked at the Western Xia mission.

Except for a few who fell to the ground drunk, the one who attracted her attention the most was naturally Murong Fu, who was handsome and elegant and dressed in a Confucian shirt.

Her gaze only stayed on the other party's face for a moment, and when she was about to look away, she suddenly noticed that the other party gave her an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

The eldest princess looked at the other party carefully for a moment again, and found that this face was indeed extremely unfamiliar, she had never seen it in her life, but the other party's gaze made her feel familiar.

"Where have I seen it......

The eldest princess's shallow eyebrows furrowed together, and she fell into deep thought.

……

on the other side of the board.

Just when the two of them went down to the thirty-fifth step, Duan Yanqing suddenly stood out with a strange soldier, Liu Zhongfu couldn't react, and the "position" in the lower right corner fell into a crisis.

Just when Duan Yanqing was in his heart for a while, he suddenly saw Liu Zhongfu counterattacking a son on the 73rd Road of "going to the position", and immediately made up for the difference.

Duan Yanqing frowned, holding the sunspot in his hand, and hesitated slightly.

It wasn't long before he left a son.

After a few consecutive moves, the two of them played chess more and more slowly, and each move had to be pondered for a moment before they landed.

People who can understand the situation on the chessboard, know the danger in it, and think hard about countermeasures in their minds, they will also bring themselves into the identity of the chess player.

And those officials who are far away from each other can only sit in place with big eyes and small eyes, which is inevitably a little boring and boring.

After watching the chess for dozens of games, Murong Fu asked himself that his chess strength was still higher than that of the two, so he could clearly see the changes in the situation between the two.

"Liu Zhongfu is worthy of being the national player of the Great Song Dynasty, even if Duan Yanqing holds the son first, most of this chess game can only end in a draw, it seems that the two are tied, but in fact, Duan Yanqing lost a son."

Thinking of this, Murong Fu picked up his wine glass and drank it calmly, no longer paying attention to the outcome of the chessboard.

Sure enough, about half an hour or so passed, and the two of them sighed in unison, and the situation on the chessboard could not be clearer.

Seeing that it was a draw, Emperor Zhezong's brows couldn't help but wrinkle slightly.

Duan Yanqing was ashamed, knowing that his chess strength was not inferior to the opponent, but a few of the moves had not been taken into account, so the opponent came from behind and turned it into a game of chess.

If he had the chance to play against him again, he would definitely find a way to solve it.

However, the chess game is like life, victory is victory, defeat is defeat, even if you think about it, you have regretted it.

Liu Zhongfu also wiped the cold sweat oozing from his forehead, and marveled at the superb chess skills with the opponent.

I was able to turn the situation into a draw on the premise of missing a piece, and there was a bit of luck in the process, so if I did it again, it would be difficult to say whether I would win or lose.

Even if it is a draw, it is counted as a draw, and there is no winner or loser.

Although Emperor Zhezong and Helian Tieshu were not satisfied, they had no choice but to accept this fact.

The hall, which had been silent for a while, was lively again in a song and dance.

After sitting for a long time, Emperor Zhezong felt that no matter how diligent the dance and music were, he couldn't help but be a little tired, and when he saw the twilight, he suddenly thought of something, and after a few orders to the inner eunuch, there was a little more smile on his face.

After a short time, the eunuch came back and whispered a few words beside Emperor Zhezong.

Immediately after, Emperor Zhezong said: "Sitting in the hall like this, it is inevitable that the Western Xia will not be able to enjoy it, you might as well move to Jinming Pond, you can enjoy the lake and enjoy the scenery, wouldn't you be happy?" ”

The ministers really couldn't sit still, and when they heard Emperor Zhezong's proposal, they all got up and agreed.

As a military general, Helian Tieshu doesn't like to sit, so he naturally has no opinion.

As for the drunken diplomats, they were sent back to the inn.

Jinming Pond is one of the many royal gardens and has long been famous for its large scale and beautiful scenery.

In the middle of March, in order to show the emperor's grace, the Song Dynasty regularly opened the pool on March 1 every year and closed it on April 8.

During this period, not only the ordinary people can also enter the pond to watch, but also the hawkers are doing business in the Jinming Pond, and the people are entertaining, which is very lively.

The water of Jinmingchi Lake is secluded, the majestic building is connected to the wind, the weeping willows are dipped in water, the tobacco is paved with embankment, and the emperor is personally present, so it has naturally become a good place for the people of Tokyo to visit, and the pond is often crowded with tourists.

When Emperor Zhezong came here with everyone, he only brought the ministers above the fifth rank and the envoys of the Western Xia to the painting boat prepared in advance.

In addition, there are more than a dozen flower boats floating on the lake, and the beautiful song like a yellow warbler comes along with it, accompanied by the singing of the pipa and the zither.

It can be described as brightly lit and pleasant, like the bright moon and stars shining into the lake and swimming above the sky.

However, it is worth mentioning that the eldest princess of the Xu Kingdom also followed, I don't know if it was her own illusion, Murong Fu always felt that the other party's eyes always looked at him frequently.
