At some point, Bai Zao had already come to the side of the pavilion and stood quietly in the middle of the same door.
The wind blows the veil, revealing her delicate and delicate face.
She frowned slightly, seeming a little worried.
The other Zhongzhou School disciples were not worried that Tong Yan would lose at all, and their expressions were very calm. Only Xiang Wanshu carefully calculated the situation on the chessboard.
Guodong stood outside the crowd, not too far away from Zhao Layue and the others. When everyone was looking into the pavilion, she was looking at Zhao Layue.
Zhao Layue knew that she was watching her. Normally, she would have to look back, but this time she would only look at Jing Jiu.
Sese was bored watching it, and handed the grilled fish in front of Zhao Layue, and said in a low voice, "Don't be disgusted, it's really delicious."
Zhao Layue shook her head, she seldom eats, no matter in Qingshan or outside.
Looking at this scene, Guo Dong showed a satisfied expression on his face.
He Zhan suddenly shouted: "How can you go like this? It doesn't make sense."
People around looked into the pavilion one after another, wondering who made a bad move
In the pavilion, Jing Jiu and Tong Yan looked at the chessboard quietly as if they didn't hear his words.
The move just now was made by Jing Jiu. Many people thought this move was very normal and safe. They didn't understand why He Zhan had such a big reaction.
Tong Yan made her own response, seemingly casually dropping a white chess piece.
This move is also common and safe.
Who would have thought that He Zhan would shout again: "This is even more unreasonable!"
Many eyes fell on him.
People don't understand why this chess master reacts so strongly to such two ordinary moves.
At this time, Jing Jiu dropped another sunspot.
He Zhan stared at the chessboard, completely ignoring those who were looking at him, and said in surprise: "Is it still possible?"
Tong Yan's next white stone was directly hung elsewhere.
He Zhan couldn't control his emotions anymore, and kept shouting: "It's too ruthless! You two guys are too ruthless!"
His movements are loud and his voice is louder, which is particularly loud in the quiet Qipanshan.
Guo Dong withdrew his gaze from Zhao Layue, looked at him expressionlessly and said, "Have you always talked so much?"
It is of course extremely unsightly for someone to yell and shout while playing chess.
He Zhan didn't understand this truth, but seeing such a chess game today, he really couldn't control himself.
"Okay, I won't say anything."
He lifted the jug and took a big gulp of wine.
The extremely rare keel wine seemed so bitter in his mouth.
Because he drank booze.
The boredom mentioned here is not the depression of not being able to speak, but an indescribable emotion, which is depressing.
…
…
Seeing He Zhan's style, and noticing the expressions of Que Niang, Shang Jiulou, and Gu Yuanyuan, the chess spectators finally understood something—it turned out that the chess game in the pavilion was not what they thought it was. It's so ordinary, there are many thunderstorms hidden in it, but it's hard to understand based on their chess skills.
Wanting to understand this, people became excited again, looking at the chessboard in the pavilion, hoping to find out the hidden beauty.
It's just that no matter how serious they are and how they keep thinking about deduction, they still can't see anything special.
Isn't this the most common opening
…
…
Sanqing Guanli.
Zenzi sat cross-legged on the couch, his bare feet sticking out from under the monk's robe, shaking constantly, as if with a certain rhythm.
His eyes fell on the chessboard in front of him.
There are two chess urns on each side of the chessboard.
Heather was blooming outside the window, and the smell was too strong, it was clearly fragrant but almost stinky.
Probably for this reason, he kept frowning.
After an unknown amount of time, he finally finished the long exam, picked up a sunspot and placed it on the chessboard.
Just as he breathed a sigh of relief and was about to get up, he noticed something was wrong with the Taoist's expression.
"What's wrong?"
The Taoist hesitated for a while, then Xiaoyi said, "This move... doesn't seem to be here."
Zen Zi was startled when he heard the words, and looked at the chessboard again.
…
…
The top of Chessboard Mountain.
An official said to He Guogong with a smile: "Guo Gong, what do you think of this chess game?"
He Guogong glanced at him and said, "How do you see it? How can I understand it so deeply."
The official was not afraid either, and said with a smile, "Then who are you betting on?"
Meihui is a grand gathering for ascetics, but it will also affect the secular world. Among other things, the gambling in Chaoge City must be closely related to this.
Duke He patted the official on the back, and said with a smile, "You think I'm stupid. Of course, you're betting on Tongyan. Although you can't win much, the victory is sure, isn't it?"
…
…
Taichang Temple is very leisurely.
As a high-ranking official in the imperial court with a high salary and a reputation for integrity, Jingshang has always been careful not to show too much diligence in government affairs.
But he is rarely like today, staring at the tea in the cup for a long time.
In the end, he still couldn't sit still, talked to the deputy secretary, and walked outside the yamen.
Watching his back disappear into the long street, discussions in the yamen rang out.
Jingshang has a younger brother who was sent out of Chaoge City when he was very young, but he doesn't know where he went. Originally, the Jing family kept this matter extremely tight, but there could be no real secret in the officialdom. A few years ago, many people vaguely knew that the youngest son of the Jing family should have worshiped under a certain big sect.
This year's Meihui was held, and there were more gambling games in Chaoge City. Seeing the name Jing Jiu, some interested people naturally associated it with the youngest son of the Jing family.
"Who would have thought that his younger brother would actually become the immortal teacher of the Qingshan Sword Sect. With such a background, who would want to be on duty seriously, and he actually retired this morning."
"Cultivators are cut off from emotion and nature, and have very little connection with the secular family, so they may not be able to help anything. Besides, they are just disciples of Qingshan, and they are not big people."
"But at least the imperial court will not be too strict, and there will always be some benefits when the relatives are alive. Have you seen how prosperous the Zhao family has become in recent years?"
"That's right. I went to visit Mr. Zhao during the New Year's Eve. Tsk tsk, the good things in the mansion are piled up like a mountain. I heard that they were all sent from Nanhe Prefecture."
…
…
Jingshang didn't know what his colleagues were talking about behind his back, even if he knew, he didn't have the mood to pay attention to it.
The news in Chaoge City spread very quickly, and it didn't take long for the Qipanshan incident to reach his ears.
When he knew that Jing Jiu's opponent in the first chess game was Tong Yan, his brain suddenly buzzed and he almost passed out.
Of course there is no brotherhood between him and Jing Jiu. Even if Jing Jiu loses, it probably won't affect his future, but...
Thinking about these things all the way, his clothes were soaked in cold sweat, and his mind was in a trance. When he woke up, he found that he had already walked in front of Duke Cheng's mansion.
The whole Chaoge City knows that Cheng Guogong is good at chess, and the most advanced and safest game of Meihui's chess game is here.
A steward noticed him, stepped forward and said, "My lord, you are finally here, please come in quickly."
Jingshang took out a towel and wiped the sweat from his forehead. After hesitating for a moment, he asked in a low voice, "Can I withdraw my bet at this time?"
The steward looked at him and smiled, but didn't speak.
