A person looked at the door: "Brother Xia, why hasn't he come back yet? Everyone is waiting for his review!"
The rest of the people gathered around the chessboard, and the discussion became even more intense than before.
"Brother Yang, did you let yourself off on purpose? How could you lose to a young man? Didn't you say that except for the seniors from Dahua Chess Hall who can beat you, there are no opponents of your age?"
After a quarter of an hour, Yang Shang's mood softened. He picked up the herbal tea on the side and drank it all. After putting down the cup, he sighed heavily: "Now I know that Master warned that there are people outside the world. I am really short-sighted. Today is the end of the world."
Shameful."
Mo Bai frowned: "Brother Bai is right, Brother Yang's chess should be able to move better. It's not an exaggeration to say that he is letting his guard down again. Your white pieces are pressed too hard. You are obviously eager for quick success, why don't you choose something safer?
The way?"
Yang Shang smiled bitterly: "What you don't know is that Xia Chunqiu's chess skills are unfathomable, and I have already felt strong pressure from the layout stage. I saw that the layout was too far behind, and I had to move dangerously and deal with everything.
Damn, if I continue to develop step by step, I'm afraid I will lose faster."
"Is he really as strong as you say?"
"My master is the only one in the world who can make me mess up in the layout stage."
"..."
Everyone was silent.
At this time, the person who escaped from the urine came back, scratched his head, apologized to everyone with some embarrassment, and lifted his pants again: "How is it? Can you count me in now?"
Now, the way everyone looks at Xia Shang has completely changed.
Although no one would believe Yang Shang's last words, even if he happened to win a round against Yang Shang, it would not be a simple matter.
Moreover, the competition of chess skills in this cultural society is particularly important. Go is the pride of the Japanese country. The Japanese people have a long-standing love for Go. If they can score a point in the chess competition of the cultural society, it will undoubtedly be a great success.
A slap in the face for the Japanese people. Therefore, it is particularly important to have a team member with excellent chess skills.
Because Xia Shang joined, Ji Fuyuan could only serve as an escort.
At this point, the selection of the five people to participate in the cultural conference has been determined.
Headed by Li Zijin, followed by Mo Bai, Chang Xin, Xia Shang and Lin Qingzhu.
According to Mo Bai, they definitely cannot represent the strongest of Dahua's young generation, but they are the strongest lineup that can be assembled at present.
The remaining male
The brothers will not leave immediately. They will join the cultural association as staff members and may be able to help everyone at critical moments.
Next, Ouyang was about to tell everyone some information he knew about the Japanese mission.
This is an old man who has seen the world. Many Japanese scholars have come to visit him. Although he does not know much about Japanese culture, he has always been exposed to some. The main purpose of the imperial court asking Nan Sheng to come is to share information.
.
However, Yang Shang seemed unwilling to accept it after experiencing the game just now, and insisted on asking Xia Shang to continue playing chess with him.
Yang Shang is a chess fanatic, and now his fanaticism is getting stronger, which makes people difficult.
"Brother Yang, things are urgent. The most important thing for us right now is to prepare for the literary meeting."
Yang Shang grabbed Xia Shang's hand like a sad little daughter-in-law: "Of course I know this, but it's just some information right now. After you hear it, just find someone to tell Brother Xia. I must tell Brother Xia
Play a few more games. I want to confirm that if Brother Xia is really that strong, he might really be able to defeat one or two Japanese chess players at the cultural conference. Do you understand what this means?"
"Beat the Japanese chess players in the cultural conference..."
This seems to be a problem that no one has thought about, because everyone knows that although the chess competition is a must-have test in the cultural society, the probability of defeating the Japanese chess players in this written test is extremely high.
low.
But if you can defeat the Japanese in this competition, even if you only defeat one of them, that will be an extremely exciting thing.
Yang Shang was a little excited: "Twenty years ago, several Japanese chess players swept across the Dahua chess world, which made Dahua aware of the strength of the Japanese chess players. Only the teacher defeated two of them, barely keeping his place in the Dahua chess world.
No face at all. It was also because of that battle that the imperial court named the teacher a chess saint. But the teacher said that the title of chess saint was a shame for him.
Nowadays, the teacher is old, but there are few talents in the Dahua chess world. The teacher dreams that one day our Dahua chess players can defeat Japanese chess players in an honest way. In this article meeting, Brother Ruoxia
If he can win the chess competition, it will wash away the shame of the Chinese chess world.
The Japanese held a cultural festival to make us Dahua look bad, and we stepped on them hard in what they were best at. How exciting is this? So, you go about your business first, I want to talk to Xia
Brother, let’s play chess and confirm whether this is possible?!”
At first many people recognized it
Because Yang Shang's performance was too exaggerated, now seeing him so excited, I had more doubts in my heart, thinking, could this Brother Xia really be able to create miracles?
Ouyang Zheng's expression was serious: "If this is really possible, it is indeed a very important matter. Then Xia Xiaosheng should practice chess with Yang Xiaoyou first."
"Okay, okay! Thank you, Mr. Ouyang!"
After Yang Shang finished speaking, he excitedly grabbed Xia Shang and said, "Brother Xia, let's continue quickly. You were coming and going like that just now. It was so exciting."
Looking at Yang Shang's expression and thinking about what he said, Xia Shang shuddered.
"I think..."
"No, no, no..." Before Xia Shang could speak, Yang Shang interrupted, "My eyes can't see clearly the depth of Brother Xia, so I'll take you to see the teacher. The teacher is even more powerful at chess, and he also played against Japanese chess players.
But, can Brother Xia, the way of nature, beat the Japanese chess player?"
In this way, Xia Shang was forced to leave Donglin Xiaoju by Yang Shangsheng and changed his route to the capital.
Xia Shang didn't want to go through such trouble. He said to himself that he had just arrived at the Hanlin Academy yesterday and was immediately sent to Donglin Xiaoju. After only one night, he had to return to the capital and go to the Dahua Chess Hall.
But this Brother Yang was so enthusiastic that Xia Shang was embarrassed to refuse.
If he were to play chess with Japanese chess players, Xia Shang himself would be very confident, so there was no need to meet any chess master.
But if you just say it out loud, it would be a bit too arrogant.
Anyway, we have already boarded the carriage back to Beijing, so there is nothing wrong with going to meet the chess master of this era.
The road back to Beijing was very long, and the driving was extremely slow and shaky in the heavy snow, which was not very comfortable.
Unexpectedly, Yang Shang pestered Xia Shang to play chess, and even set up a chessboard in the car.
Xia Shang couldn't resist his teasing, so he agreed to go for a walk in the car to kill time.
The chess game was going on, but Yang Shang frowned more and more as he watched the chess game. After enduring it for a long time, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and said dissatisfiedly: "Brother Xia, can you be more serious? This is completely incomparable with your previous chess games! Could it be that
Are you perfunctory with me?"
After saying that, Yang Shang noticed that Xia Shang's face looked a little bad.
"Brother Xia, you...what's wrong?"
"I...vomit..."
After saying just one word, Xia Shang started to vomit, even the last night's meal.
"Motion sickness... stop... stop! I... I used to not be able to play with my mobile phone in the car... Now, I can't play chess in the car..."
