The most famous thing about Xiaohuzhuang is the chess garden that uses canal water to form a lake and a forest. The small lake occupies a large area. Eighteen chess pavilions rise out of the pond, connected by stone bridges. Strange flowers and trees grow against the pavilions.
Under the winter sun, the scenery follows the shape and borrows from each other. It has a beautiful, elegant, delicate and unrestrained charming charm. It is indeed a good place to hold a chess game.
There is a stone table in the pavilion, which can be used to lay out three chess boards. However, after two days, only seven games are still in progress in the chess garden. The other participants have already surrendered and lost their chess money. However, the number of participants in the garden has not decreased but has increased.
People who are drunk are not interested in chess, because they watch the master kill the inferior player. Not only is there nothing to watch, but it is also unbearable to watch.
Wan Renyu led Longying into Xiaohuzhuang and met An Shiming. He left the others and came up to him and said, "Congratulations to Wan Xiandi, luckily you didn't come yesterday. I don't know why Madam was in a bad mood yesterday, and she didn't even think about it.
Be merciful, nearly half of the people did not admit defeat until the end of the game, because they did not want to lose too badly. You made a good plan, but it is expected to be less than twenty pieces."
Long Ying lost his voice and said: "Losing twenty pieces can be considered a good move."
An Shiming said displeased: "This is..."
Wan Renyu secretly blamed Long Ying for his unscrupulous words, because the chess master in front of him defeated more than thirty pieces in a game. He hurriedly said: "Don't pay attention to him, this is my junior brother who is in trouble."
An Shiming was still angry, but he did not dare to offend Wan Renyu and said, "Do you know how to play chess? Or are you here to see someone?"
These two sentences are quite impolite.
Wan Renyu said nonchalantly: "Renyu asked him to come and continue this unfinished situation on my behalf."
An Shiming shouted: "What?"
Just from An Shiming's reaction, we can see that Wan Renyu at least has a chess reputation. Now he hired an "unknown person" who ignored him to play chess on his behalf.
Wan Renyu said: "Everything should be done according to the rules."
Long Ying was confused and said: "By what rules?"
Wan Renyu said matter-of-factly: "Take out five taels of silver and follow your senior brother."
Long Ying understood and chased after him with a bitter smile: "It seems you called me here. His grandma's silver was earned by fighting for life. Five taels of silver is too expensive to take a look at it from a distance."
?”
The Moon Cave Gate for entering the garden appeared in front, and there was a sea of people inside. It seemed that there were more market places than chess clubs. A pretty and beautiful maid stood beside the door, holding something that looked like a roster. She said with a bright smile: "It turns out to be Young Master Wan. Yesterday, Mrs.
I asked why you didn’t come!”
Wan Renyu said intoxicatedly: "Did Madam really ask about me?"
Long Ying hit him with an elbow and whispered: "Fool! I lied to you. It was because she missed you."
The pretty maid's eyes fell on Long Ying and said coldly: "This is..."
Wan Renyu was hurt so much by him that he endured the pain and said, "This is my junior brother Xiao Pu. He will play chess for me today."
The pretty maid was surprised and said: "Does he understand?"
Wan Renyu answered honestly: "I have never seen him play chess, and he has never played chess with anyone, only against himself. Ha!"
Long Ying told him that he couldn't laugh or cry, knowing that he was seeking revenge.
The pretty maid was stunned and didn't know how to react.
Wan Renyu saw Long Ying's embarrassed look and said happily: "Hurry up and offer five taels of silver, otherwise the chess master will sweep you out of Xiaohu Village."
The pretty maid finally realized that the two were having fun. She chuckled and said, "Brother Pu, do you have five taels of silver?"
Longying reluctantly took out five taels of silver and handed it to the pretty maid.
The pretty maid said: "You two gentlemen, please take your seats. Madam, please come quickly!"
Wan Renyu put his arm around Long Ying's shoulders and entered the chess garden. Three to four hundred people gathered around the small lake. They were in groups, talking happily about chess. Six of the eighteen chess pavilions were occupied, and the atmosphere was tense. The most wonderful thing
What's more, there are eight rectangular tables set up along the lake, which are filled with chess boards with pieces on them, obviously to let those who can't go to the chess pavilions to watch the game in person to know the changes in the chess game. Sure enough, there are people standing aside at the chess pavilions where the chess games are going on. Yes.
Imagine that every move will be displayed on the relevant chess game on the square table.
Wan Renyu and Long Ying came to one of the chess pavilions, their eyes fell on the chess board, and they said with satisfaction: "Not bad! If I can only lose fifteen pieces, I should be ranked among the ten in the city of God. Sit down! Only one
Participants can sit down."
This was the first time for Long Ying to play chess with someone. He felt so new and exciting that he sat down and faced the chessboard without hesitation, thinking about how he could win back five taels of silver and regain what he had lost.
Of course, Wan Renyu took Black's first move, and both sides played five or sixty pieces each. Taking the total game as 361 pieces, it was only one-third, but in terms of chess game, it was more than half of the game. It can be said that the overall situation was over.
Determined, just watch and fight.
Wan Renyu said: "How is it? It's my turn."
Long Ying shook his head and said: "No wonder you lost. The opponent was the young marshal and his Jing Zhongyue, but you were Xue Huaiyi's rotten ghost Henglian. How could Dingshi be so unwilling to make progress? You know that you, the kid, started with the hope of losing the young man.
The winning-loser mentality belongs to his grandma."
"when"!
Wan Renyu said angrily: "Use your energy on the chessboard! You have to make a move before the next bell rings, and you have half an hour. I'm really afraid that you kid will make me look embarrassed in front of the chess master."
After a while, he said impatiently: "It takes so long to think about the next move. It seems that my chess skills are better than yours."
Long Ying said dissatisfied: "Don't harass me, I don't look at how one piece is played, but how the overall situation is played, including the finishing piece."
Wan Renyu lost her voice and said: "Madam, you haven't come yet, how do you see the overall situation?"
Long Ying said: "If she doesn't make a move, I can do it for her, and it will be done according to her chess strategy."
Wan Renyu was speechless.
"when"!
Dragon Eagle made a sunspot in the open space in the middle of the abdomen.
Wan Renyu frowned and said: "To hold the chess piece, use the tips of your index finger and middle finger to hold the chess piece, and place it gently and accurately on the intersection. How can you use your thumb and index finger to pick up the chess piece? Fortunately, only I saw it."
Long Ying said: "Playing chess is about winning and losing, not about posture. Damn it! I hope your sword skills are not as impractical as your chess skills. Thank God."
Wan Renyu couldn't help but laugh and said: "You're such a funny guy. It makes me happy even when I lose at chess. Just by looking at your current move, I can tell that you are a chess piece of shit."
Long Ying said proudly: "Xia Chong can't talk about it. You can see Madam Mengdie's expression later."
"Mrs. Mengdie has arrived!"
The entire chess garden suddenly became silent.
The sound of rings sounded in the distance, and the dragon eagle followed the sound. Two hundred feet away, a beautiful woman in full dress shouted in front of the two maids, crossed a stone arch bridge, and walked toward one of the pavilions on lotus steps. Although she couldn't see it,
Her appearance and figure are indeed slender, tall and elegant, not inferior to Duanmu Ling.
The body of the dragon, eagle, and tiger shook violently, and his eyes were fixed and his mouth was stunned.
Wan Renyu was surprised and said: "Look at the difference between the beauty's behavior and mine, just like the difference between the young marshal and Xue Huaiyi. Let me beg you, please don't drool."
Long Ying came back to his senses and sighed: "It is indeed worth the money."
Mrs. Mengdie arrived at the chess pavilion at the first stop, glanced at the chessboard twice, and played a piece. Her opponent immediately held his head. The announcer walked to a prominent spot on the bridge and reported the positions of the black and white pieces with gestures. Mrs. Mengdie nodded again.
, swaying out of the chess pavilion, moved towards another chess pavilion, disappeared behind a jungle tree, and reappeared on another bridge a moment later. It can be seen that she spent a few more glances and placed a piece on another chess board.
The crowd of chess watchers on the bank made a buzzing sound like a swarm of bees, obviously talking about the chess game, but no one dared to make a noise, and the chess garden was filled with a tense atmosphere of the game.
Long Ying folded his hands behind his neck like a pillow and said relaxedly: "This girl is indeed wonderful. If I can marry her back, I can enjoy the joy of playing chess at home. The bets can be... Ha! It makes me happy just thinking about it. .”
Wan Renyu said angrily: "You don't seem to know who she is. Let me tell you, there are many people who have wishful thinking about her like you, and they will all be in trouble. Don't talk nonsense when she comes later, it will be embarrassing. Do all I can to save my face."
Long Ying couldn't hear what he said at all, and said to himself: "I underestimated the enemy too much. I should go and watch the other six games to master her chess moves."
Wan Renyu said in surprise: "Do you really know how to play chess? I have studied more than a hundred games of chess with her, and there is absolutely no way to catch her. Her chess skills are so unconstrained and different in every game. Alas! My mother! Here she comes. !Remember not to say crazy things or offend the beauty."
Long Ying still looked at the top of the pavilion and said, "Has she seen me? What's her expression?"
Wan Renyu said: "What expression is there? Of course it is the expression of a tiger when it sees the little fat sheep brought to its mouth!"
Huan Pei couldn't help but approach.
Wan Renyu said respectfully: "Renyu would like to send my regards to Madam."
A woman's voice as graceful as nature responded: "Why couldn't I see Mr. Wan yesterday?"
Long Ying returned to his posture of sitting upright, his eyes fell on the chessboard, and he answered before Wan Renyu could: "Because his brother needs me to come here today to renew the long-lasting relationship with my wife."
When Wan Renyu almost wanted to strangle Long Ying to death, Mrs. Mengdie, accompanied by her two maids, came to the other side of the table and said calmly: "Who is this Mr. Wan?"
Long Ying finally raised his head and looked at her, his eyes full of magic light. He said in a deep voice: "Since we are of the same sect, why should we care about the other person's last name?"
Wan Renyu felt bad, because one of the rules of the chess club was that Mrs. Mengdie could refuse to play chess with anyone. This guy was so arrogant, it would be strange if he didn't kick Mrs. Mengdie out.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Mengdie didn't think she was dissatisfied, but her beautiful eyes shot out a sharp light in response to Long Ying's magic eyes. A smile appeared on the corner of her lips, she picked up a piece and placed it on Long Ying's piece two places away. , making it clear that he and Dragon Eagle would start a close fight in the hinterland of the chessboard.
Without thinking, Longying resorted to fighting, placing the stone two spaces away from the other side of the white stone, sandwiching the white stone she had just played.
Wan Renyu almost closed his eyes and did not dare to look again. No one who adopts this tactic against Madam Mengdie will have a good result. However, Long Ying did break the record for the fastest move in the history of playing chess with Madam Mengdie. I hope it will not happen. It is a blessing to break the losing record at the same time.
Mrs. Mengdie picked up the pieces to play chess, and consolidated the original move. It was very measured and echoed the white piece on the right, which immediately made the two dragons and eagles isolated and helpless.
Longying laughed, picked up a piece and said: "Awesome! Both pieces are so clever and powerful, hitting the heart of the chessboard. Fortunately, I can't die, look!" (To be continued)
