"Based on what Prime Minister Xun said, this whole family will definitely not send troops to stop the demonic tide. Instead, they will be content with the status quo and be happy to see all the countries in the world suffer?" After Xun Wenqu said such rebellious words , Zhou Kefa finally put away his indifferent expression, frowned, and pointed to the north, "Xunxiang is drinking tea in this elegant teahouse. Have you ever thought that there are countless righteous people in the north who should not sacrifice their lives for the world?" These people, lying on their pillows in the ice and snow, have actually survived the demon tide for many years. If there were no people like this to protect the world from disasters, I think the Shangqi territory, which is not far from Beiyanze, would have been exhausted. Such an action is not worthy of sending troops to rescue an emergency?"
Xun Wenqu, on the other hand, just put a smile on his face, ignoring Zhou Kefa's already somewhat angry questioning. Instead, he called the tea boy to come over and set up another chess table. After everything was cleared, he gave instructions with his eyes. Zhou Kefa came together.
Few people know that when Zhou Kefa was in the imperial city of Shangqi, he was actually the most unwilling to compete with Xun Wenqu. Firstly, he was afraid of his astonishing calculation power, and secondly, because Zhou Kefa's chess moves , obtained from the Five Teachings chess game, while Xun Wenqu obtained it from Tiancheng, and because he often played chess with prominent officials in the imperial city, most notably Tong Zhou Kefa's chess game. As a result, although the two often quarreled, they both Just be careful and never take advantage of him easily.
Only on the eve of the great chaos that almost shook the Qi State, the two of them found time to set up a chessboard. On the surface, it was a game of chess, but in fact, both of them knew that this was an inevitable game. Although winning or losing in a chessboard dispute is a trivial matter, since it is between two people who belong to the same world and have the most thoughtful minds, they must first make moves based on their moves and test both sides' minds and back-up tactics for the time being. In that chess battle, Zhou Kefa only lasted until the middle of the game, but he had no chance of winning. Even Zhou Kefa, who always liked to play fast chess and enjoyed it most heartily, pondered for a long time and finally made no more moves. It means surrendering and leaving. Read the book
Xun Wenqu once thought about it for a long time, why in that chess game back then, it was clear that the two players were almost equally powerful. Zhou Kefa, who had managed to escape from the capital with his life, clearly knew the general trend of Qi and was completely unable to control it in his own hands. And that game In the game before the incident, Zhou Kefa did not use any clever moves in the Five Teachings chess. He was just like an ordinary chess master. Although his chess skills were not weak, he could clearly see that he was mediocre.
"That chess game back then really kept me in the dark for a long time. To this day, I still haven't thought about it. Since I don't want to reveal my true identity, why bother to suffer such a defeat before taking action, let alone just doing it? In the middle game, for a well-deserved master of chess like you, are you really not afraid of ruining your thoughts?"
Xun Wenqu didn't pay attention to Zhou Kefa's expression at this time. He just smiled to himself and put the chess box he took from the book boy next to the chess board with a smile. I have been going through many years of ups and downs in my official career. I have seen a lot of insidious and cunning schemes that can be said to be calculated to determine the future. Thanks to the grace of the saint, and with a little more caution, I didn’t fall for it, but it fell into the hands of you, Zhou Kefa.”
"It wasn't me who won the chess game that year, but you, Zhou Kefa, who had a small victory."
Zhou Kefa's expression moved, but he said nothing. He just picked up a white piece from Xun Wenqu's book boy's hand, thought about it again and again, and finally hesitantly placed the piece at Tianyuan, then crossed his legs and waited quietly for Xun Wenqu Take the move.
Such behavior made even the little book boy beside Xun Wenqu, who had never spoken, a little angry. He looked at Xun Wenqu from the side and his face turned red.
People in the world know Zhou Kefa, and most of them have mixed reviews, but what they say most often is that this person is the most ignorant, and he is also crazy and rebellious. He never pays attention to what others are thinking, and just relies on it blindly. With his likes, dislikes and actions, he was clearly a scholar with profound knowledge. However, when he acted like a fool, he was even more hated by others than a reckless warrior in the world.
Seeing Tian Yuan again, even Dou Wenhuan and Zhang Yachang didn't know what their master was thinking. It would be fine if it was the season of teaching, but it happened to be the season of playing chess with the highest master in the Shang Qi court. Tian Yuan took action again , this is not just an excuse, but also a bit of a curse in front of someone's face.
On the contrary, his eyes were always half-squinted.
Li Dengfeng picked up the tea soup, took a few sips, and smiled in the direction of the two people's chessboard. However, he neither solved his doubts with his disciples nor gave any pointers to Zhou Kefa's two confused students. Instead, he continued to do so. He glanced at the chessboard twice and watched the moves the two men made.
There was not a single stupid person present. They all knew how the chess game was going, and were afraid that it would change things today. However, Zhou Kefa's move of Tian Yuan made everyone present feel unreasonable.
"It's still the same virtue. If you have something to say, you can't say it clearly, and you have to go through all these twists and turns." He raised his head and glanced at Zhou Kefa, "I think I'm far inferior to you in this kind of sensationalism, but I still can't shake the situation."
Zhou Kefa lazily looked at the chessboard and quickly dropped the white stone. He never forgot to answer, "Of course you have to learn some twists and turns. Go up to Qi Chao Hall. After all, it is you, an old man who has almost rooted his body in Qi Xiang's seat, who is talking. It has weight, if you don’t learn some things about the official career, you can always find some truth to slander me, a little commoner, who is loyal to the king and family, which is really rare."
When the two of them were talking, their luck was flying, and it was quite dizzying. However, even the little book boy on the side noticed something was wrong. Zhou Kefa's chess moves were too rigid, as if he was memorizing chess records by rote. Such luck, but since he gave up a hand of Tianyuan, it was watertight and completely natural. It actually stopped the sunspot army from going south, like an iron barrel of gold. Except for Li Dengfeng and his own disciples, Xun Wenqu, Dou Wenhuan, and Zhang Yachang were all well aware of Zhou Ke's chess skills and his ability to break the game in unexpected turns. However, today's game felt quite different. weird.
Those who are good at attacking may not be good at defending, and those who are good at defending may not be good at attacking. However, due to the realms of Xun Wenqu and Zhou Kefa, offense and defense often trade with each other. Even though Xun Wenqu's offensive is as continuous as the sea, the white pieces on the chessboard are still stable. , it looks like they are trying their best to make peace.
"There is a bit of Buddhism, but still no exertion. How can there be only Bodhisattvas with low eyebrows and gentle eyes and compassionate faces in the world, and there is no arhat with vajra and angry eyes? If there is no smoke and fire, the chess game will fall into the inferior vehicle. Only then can we understand There are several moves that can turn defense into offense, but you have to add two points of heavy locks at the top of an already impregnable city. With your Zhou Kefa's temperament, you really can't bear this anger."
He said so, but Xun Wenqu was unreasonable at hand. He arranged the siege front line and various light and dark alternating attacks on the back road, and then slowed down the speed of the chess and made leisurely moves. I still don’t forget that Tong Zhou Kefa said something to me. They often put their hands together and laughed, making everyone else confused. Sometimes they thought that these two were old friends from earlier, and they were old friends playing chess. In order to have some leisure time and be happy, however, when I looked at the chessboard, I saw that there was smoke all over the place, and there was no pause in the posture. The black and white teams were entangled in one place, almost fighting each other, and there was blood everywhere.
What is worth mentioning is that Xun Wenqu had already reserved three black stones in his hand, but he still refused to move. Seeing that the chess was going smoothly and was about to end, he slowly picked up a black stone and said, "Okay. The player who plays chess is the emperor on the chessboard. It is easy to dodge open guns and hidden arrows, but it is difficult to defend against such nonsense. However, there are always embankments of thousands of miles, which are destroyed by the talk of ant nests. Now this embankment is There are overflowing ants everywhere. Although they have been dormant for a long time, everyone can guess their thoughts. There is a saying that the industry is diligent, but it is ruined by ease. There are always people who rise up in the wind because of the word ease. That is The first pass."
Zhou Kefa frowned when a piece fell, but after just three or five breaths, the situation on the chessboard was stabilized again, and he could still sit back and relax.
"This second chess piece is protected by the barrier. No one has ever felt that something is urgent. And this is not the first time that such things have been done together. However, we can still escape unscathed. I am happy to be able to sweep away the snow in front of my door and make others miserable, but whether it will lead the wolf into the house or add another helping hand, no one can guess."
The second sunspot fell, and after all, most of the Baizi City that Zhou Kefa had been working on for a long time was destroyed. Although he still had some strength left to support it, he saw that the momentum had plummeted and it was difficult to turn back.
"As for the third
The piece has always been a big worry for you, Zhou Kefa, but it seems that this chess move is quite inappropriate at this moment, so I just ended it with the combined chess piece. Xun Wenqu didn't want to talk to Zhou Kefa anymore, but stood up and was about to leave. However, as the end of the season approached, he still looked back at Mr. Zhou, who looked really decadent, "Speaking of which, people do grow old after all. One day, I almost forgot one thing. The battle reports from several cities in Beiyanze were actually sent by birds. It was estimated that Zihao had already received the news, but he did not order the army for a long time. If we go forward, even if there are people riding horses day and night, it will be of no use."
After saying that, he took the book boy and left slowly without stopping.
It wasn't until Xun Wenqu walked out of the tea room, squinting at the gloomy sky in the distance, that he murmured to himself.
"If you take over the Tianyuan gambit, I really have you. Why do you abandon your king and your family?"
