Chapter Eighty-Five: Ending Again

In the second game, it was still Xu Beiyou who took the lead in black. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

This time, Xu Beiyou no longer fell to Tianyuan to deliberately pursue the belly fight in the middle game, but changed to a corner battle, and the first few hands were all decent ancestors.

Qiuguang, who watched the battle from the sidelines, was slightly disappointed, although she was a maid, but since she was a child, she was trained as an official lady, and she also had slaves to serve, taught by famous teachers, and was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. But when it comes to this game, it is decent, so Xu Beiyou not only has no hope of winning, but even the last bit of "some meaning" is completely lost.

Xiao Zhinan tapped the chessboard with two fingers, and said slowly: "This is inevitably a little boring, last time you attacked, I defended, why don't you change to me to attack this time, you defend?"

Xiao Zhinan picked up a chess piece and dropped it gently.

This time, Xiao Zhinan's chess style changed suddenly, no longer like the previous one, but made a bold move, not giving up an inch of land, and launched a tragic grappling battle with Xu Beiyou in the corner.

Xiao Zhinan in this game is the same as Xu Beiyou in the previous game, just like a sword out of the sheath, cold and cold, indestructible, but Xu Beiyou does not have Xiao Zhinan's ability to hide needles in Mianmian, so as soon as this game of chess reached the middle game, Xu Beiyou had completely collapsed and admitted defeat again.

Xiao Zhinan looked at the chessboard, blinked his long eyes, and asked, "Continue?"

Xu Beiyou nodded.

The chessboard was once again restored to its original state by two maids.

Xu Beiyou said slowly: "Why don't you take this game of chess, you go first?"

The so-called seat is that before the game, both sides put two sons on the four-pointed star position, also known as the momentum, which can limit the first-hand advantage and pay more attention to the fight in the middle game.

Xiao Zhinan's expression was calm, he said a good word, and then fell first.

This time, Xu Beiyou's expression was solemn, his fall was extremely slow, and the thinking time of each step was getting longer and longer.

This game of chess lasted for an hour, and Xu Beiyou finally survived the mid-game stage.

One hundred and twenty-eight moves later, Xu Beiyou's black chess fell into a bitter battle, and Xiao Zhinan's white chess still had the first move. If Xu Beiyou can have a clever move at this time, he may not be able to turn defeat into victory, but it is a pity that Xu Beiyou has done his best to get to this point, and after barely supporting to one hundred and eighty hands, Xiao Zhinan managed the good situation and ended first.

Xu Beiyou, who had lost three games in a row, shook his head very calmly, and gently played with a cool black jade chess piece. Although he had long expected that Xiao Zhinan's chess strength was not weak, he still didn't expect that in the last game, when he had exhausted all his strength, there was still no hope of winning the chess by half a point.

Qiuguang looked at the endgame and frowned, what is the master's chess strength, she knows best, she never expected that Xu Beiyou would be able to fight with Xiao Zhinan in the third game to the final stage, although throughout the ages, there has never been a shortage of young national players, but Xu Beiyou, a person who has become a fixed situation according to reason, can still make such progress in just one night, which really surprised her.

Xiao Zhinan stretched his waist and said with a smile: "You have been instructed by a famous teacher in chess, but you didn't study it hard, and that famous teacher didn't teach it in depth, it's really not easy to have this chess power." You don't have to be discouraged, I learned chess at the age of six, and I have been taught by three big players, if you win by this half-ass, then I am wronged, and my three national masters will also be angry to death. ”

"It's interesting. Xu Beiyou put down the black jade chess pieces in his hand.

Xiao Zhinan shook his head and said: "It's interesting, it's only interesting, no matter how many changes there are on the chessboard, it will be dead after all, compared to this game of chess in the world, it is too far behind, which is why the big players can't be strategists who use the world as a chessboard, let alone be a chess player who manipulates the general trend of the world." ”

Xu Beiyou followed Xiao Zhinan's example, leaned back on the back of the chair, "The ancients had a ten-game covenant, we might as well follow the example of the ancients today, first play three rounds, and leave the next seven rounds for the future." ”

Xiao Zhinan nodded and waved his hand to signal several maids to retreat.

After Qiuguang and the other two maids withdrew with the chessboard and the chess jar, Xiao Zhinan spoke: "In a few days, I will leave the Northeast and go to Yanzhou, and then transfer from Yanzhou to Qizhou." ”

In the three-game game just now, Xu Beiyou had one of the biggest gains, he gradually adapted to the aura of Xiao Zhinan, a noble girl, and there were not too many ups and downs in his mentality, neither the humility when he first saw him, nor the hyperactivity when he was-for-tat later, he maintained a distant and quiet attitude towards the woman in front of him, and said calmly: "I may go to the grassland, maybe I will go to Houjian." ”

Xu Beiyou's answer was not unexpected by Xiao Zhinan, she only said with a little regret: "That's the opposite." ”

Xu Beiyou smiled, "I'm not like you, I can stand alone, I'm still under the protection of my master." ”

When Xiao Zhinan came to the Liao Wangfu this time, she didn't see Gongsun Zhongmou, who could be regarded as her grandparents, but from the description of the dossier of the Peony and the Dark Guard Mansion, she could imagine how the Sword Sect Sect Master was. From the bottom of her heart, she doesn't like this old man with good skills, this old man is very different from Xu Beiyou, he is almost the perfect benchmark for a family, just like her, a daughter of a family, and coincidentally, the two gave each other almost the same evaluation, and they were scheming.

In the end, Xiao Zhinan personally sent Xu Beiyou out of Qingling Residence, and a slight smile when he parted made Xu Beiyou, who had just consolidated his mental defense, almost break his success.

Back in Qinglianju, Xu Beiyou took off his robe, sat in the study, held a cup of tea, took a sip, and sighed softly: "This Xiao Zhinan is not simple, at the end of this day, I met her twice, but it was more tiring than fighting the twelve wolf thieves, almost no less than a battle of life and death." ”

The Song official on the side frowned and asked, "What does this Xiao family woman want to do?"

Xu Beiyou was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "It's still not clear yet, but you can guess a thing or two, think about why Xiao Maha went to great lengths to invite Master to Julu City." ”

Song Guanguan said thoughtfully: "The king of Lingwu County invited the sect master to go to Julu City, aside from other things, the main thing is to use the sect master to deal with the Daomen Demon Suppression Palace, so that the sect master can contain the Demon Suppression Palace, so that the Daomen has no time to take care of the mutual market in Julu City." ”

Xu Beiyou said softly: "So, I guess Xiao Zhinan also wants to use me to contain and balance someone, or something." ”

Song Guanguan was stunned.

Xu Beiyou said with emotion: "But it can be seen that Xiao Zhinan is still undecided, and she is thinking about me." As for me, I am also waiting to see how sincere she is in releasing the bait, and then I will decide whether to bite this hook or not, I have to say that this woman, she herself is a big bait that makes it difficult for men to refuse. ”

Song Guanguan's smile was a little more narrow, "What does Gongzi mean by this?"

Xu Beiyou drank all the hot tea in the cup, reminiscing about the burning and faint bitter taste in his mouth, "Don't say those self-deceptive words, to be honest, it's useless for me to look at people, people have to look at me." ”

Officer Song hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Does the sect master know about his old man?"

Xu Beiyou said helplessly: "I asked the master, and he only said that I should wait and sink for a while, but he didn't say anything." ”

Song Guanguan then asked, "Childe, what are your plans?"

Xu Beiyou said: "There is no good way, this woman is higher than me, I can't surrender her, at least not now, I can only wait and see." ”

Song Guanguan sighed, "Gongzi is becoming more and more like the sect master now, and he is always a matter of discretion and trade-off. ”

Xu Beiyou put down the empty teacup in his hand and sighed: "Because only in this way can you go up." ”
