Ou Lingtian calmed down, chess skills grew rapidly, and finally fought with his father, and sometimes he could win a few games by luck, Ou Zhixiong said: "There is a chess edict in the palace called Chen Zhaoran, it is said that he was the teacher of the prince Zhu Biao, the beginning and the middle game are very good, and the residual chess is still fine, and there is a mental state of seeking stability and fearing chaos and not daring to take risks, which is reflected in the chess art, and there is a style of seeking undefeated first without seeking a quick victory." For this reason, when he held the screen horse in his back hand, he rarely made mistakes and was extremely difficult to break. ”

Ou Zhixiong continued: "I once played a game of chess with him, I started with the first cannon, Chen Zhaoran defended with a screen horse, and waited for the opportunity to counterattack, because I was in a hurry to attack, and was broken by his horses and soldiers, and then broke the phase, but I had to take the lead, and I lost this game." I also realized a lot of truths. Playing chess is not only to show one's strength, but also to have a majestic style and bearing. The strategy of playing chess is to strive for the initiative, control the opponent, find the gap to attack, and gradually press. The so-called can be attacked, and if it can't be defended, it is the sum of the defense. The best way to defend is to find the right opportunity to weaken the opponent's offensive power, and the draw is easy to achieve. Isn't life the same? ”

Ou Lingtian nodded in admiration.

Ou Zhixiong said: "Ling Tian, your current chess skills can fight with Chen Zhaoran, you play calmly, solidly, more importantly, from the game your heart begins to calm down, strategizing to win a thousand miles, remember, the layout in chess is particularly important, if you can lay out and apply your game, then this game of chess is likely to be completely controlled by you." ”

In the face of the "chess saint" Ji Jingrui, Ou Lingtian has no bottom in his heart, the chess saint and chess saint, but not boasted, Ji Kang said, Ji Jingrui has been talented since she was a child, never forgets, and has a very high understanding, likes to play chess, and soon has no opponents in the Ji family compound, Ji Kang invited a few chess masters to play against her, as a result, Ji Jingrui began to fight back after losing a few games, and her chess skills grew rapidly, and the chess cloth was wonderful, and the method was fine, the rules were rigorous, and there was no leakage, and there was no gap at all. To the surprise of her opponents, she was called a "prodigy".

Ji Kang sent her to a chess master where to formally learn the arts, this person is called "chess idiot" Yang Jie, just a hermit of the people, living in the deep palace, burning the piano and cooking cranes, chanting poems and endowments, and having no quarrel with the world. Although the imperial court's chess edict invited him to enter the palace to serve the saint many times, Yang Jie refused, and Ming Chengzu Zhu Di had no choice, and finally only said one sentence: "Everyone has his own ambitions, let him go." ”

Ji Jingrui and the "chess idiot" Yang Jie have been learning for a whole decade, and they have few opponents after they come out, and they are called "chess saints" by the people of the rivers and lakes. ”

Ji Kang's master Ou Lingtian said: "Mr. Ou, I would like you to defeat her and frustrate her spirit, otherwise the little girl doesn't know the height of the sky and won't even listen to my words." ”

Ou Lingtian replied with a smile: "Don't expect me to be able to defeat her, I am not a full-time chess player, and I will not devote all my time to chess, but I can give a few instructions in martial arts." Besides, it's good to have a sharp spirit, if a girl is too timid, she is easy to be bullied, what do you say?"

Ji Kang said with a wry smile: "Who dares to bully her, her bodyguard 'Red-faced Jiao' Jiang Qinghan is not a kind lord, he is as angry as an ox, and it is difficult for a hundred and ten people to get close to the steel whip in his hand, so I can rest assured that Jing Rui will wander around." ”

When it comes to the "red-faced Jiao", Jiang Qinghan and Ou Lingtian are very interested, this Jiang Qinghan is famous in the rivers and lakes, and the story of the steel whip angrily beating the "human demon black evil" Luo Juyong is known to everyone.

"Human Demon Black Evil" Luo Juyong was once a cancer in the south of the Yangtze River, gathering a group of ruffians to rob men and women as a victim, active in Hangzhou at that time, children as long as they heard that "Human Demon Black Evil" was coming, they did not dare to cry, martial arts people are also unconvinced, and disputes, "Human Demon Black Evil" Luo Juyong is good at making a mountain machete, weighing dozens of catties, wheel up and whirring wind, and when it comes to death, it sticks to death. Legend has it that the commander of the Ming army of the imperial court, "Iron Sword", Zhu Cheng fought with him, Zhu Cheng's Iron Knife was haunted, and only fought with Luo Juyong to a draw, Zhu Cheng said very regretfully: "The boy is a fierce general, but unfortunately he is a general, and he can't become a general." ”

The "Iron Broadsword" repelled Luo Juyong's stragglers, and the "black demons" ran away, living in seclusion in the deep mountains and old forests, coming out to rob from time to time, killing people and setting fires to all kinds of evil. The voices of the people are full of voices, and the imperial court has returned from several encirclements and suppressions in vain, and a lot of money has been spent, all of which have been pulled out of the hands of the common people, fattening the officers and soldiers, and also fattening the bandits.

"Red-faced Jiao" Jiang Qinghan's parents died, and he came to Ji's house to join his aunt, Ji Kang's wife Huang Ping, who happened to encounter the robbery of "human demons and black demons" when passing by, washed the village in blood, forcibly seized more than a dozen girls and swaggered back, and met the "red-faced Jiao" Jiang Qinghan face to face at the entrance of the village.

Jiang Qinghan smelled blood, saw the thick smoke and fire in the village, and heard the woman's sad cry, and was furious.
