When the three of them came, Wang Cheng walked in the front as a sign of respect for his master. When they arrived outside the pavilion where Xiao Yu and others were, Wang Cheng stepped back and his third disciple Zhang Gu walked behind, letting Lu Wuchang go first. Lu Wuchang was invited to play chess, which was a common courtesy.
After Lu Wuchang entered the pavilion, he cupped his fists and said to Kong Ge and Xiao Yu, "I have met you two. My master and my third junior brother both understand the theory of chess. Although I am here to watch chess, I hope you will forgive me."
While Kong Ge and Xiao Yu were playing chess, Kong Ge lost a piece and immediately invited the three of them to sit down. He clasped his fists and replied, "Brother Lu, there is no need to be polite. This is just a casual chess game while enjoying the cool weather. There is no need to be so solemn, Wang Dao Brother Zhang, please take your seats quickly."
Wang Cheng smiled and said: "Very good, very good."
Kong Ge said to Lu Wuchang again: "Brother Lu, wait a moment. I will admit defeat right now. I also invite brother Xiaoyu to come down. How about I talk to you about a round?"
Lu Wuchang waved his hands repeatedly and replied: "Mr. Kong, there is no need to accommodate me. You can continue to play. I will wait for you to finish playing chess, and it will not be too late for you and me to discuss it again."
"Come on, I can't beat this kid. Instead of wasting half an hour and admitting defeat, it's better to give in early and find an equally matched opponent. It would be more fun." Kong Ge pointed at Xiao Yu, curled his lips and cursed with a smile: "Besides, this kid doesn't like it either. Play chess with me, and you are here just in time. Come on, brother Xiaoyu, go down and let Lu Wuchang come."
Xiao Yu smiled and replied: "You still understand me. Okay, I'll just watch you play chess and drink some tea, so you can relax."
After Xiaoyu finished speaking, he turned around and invited Lu Wuchang: "Brother Lu, please sit down."
Lu Wuchang slightly closed the folding fan in his hand, cupped his fists slightly towards Xiao Yu, lifted up his sleeves and sat down, replying: "Thank you very much, brother Xiao Yu, then I will be disrespectful."
At this time, Kong Ge had collected all the chess pieces and put them into the basket, and the chessboard was cleared.
Lu Wuchang smiled at Kong Ge and said, "Mr. Kong, do we want to compete first?"
Kong Ge twisted his beard and smiled, "Usually, Brother Xiaoyu and I both make the first move. That's because we are inferior to him in chess. Brother Lu, you were the one who defeated me, so I am also inferior to you in chess, so I move first. You Are you willing to agree?"
Lu Wuchang is also a person who likes chess, calligraphy and painting. He is well versed in the theory of chess and naturally knows the importance of taking the first move. The meaning of Mr. Kong's words is self-evident. Just now, his words were in vain.
"Mr. Kong, you are the elder. This younger generation played chess with you several years ago. Now your chess skills are probably far better than mine. In terms of emotion and reason, I should come first." Lu Wuchang held the white piece. To make a move.
Seeing this, Kong Ge waved his hand repeatedly, stretched out his hand to stop Lu Wuchang's hand, and said with a smile: "Brother Lu, as you said, I am the elder and you are the junior. The elder has always been superior to the younger. Here, I am the elder. Therefore, we should take the first step.”
Xiao Yu heard that these two guys were vying for the upper hand and could say all kinds of shameless things. She couldn't help curling her lips and cursing: "If you ask me, you two, stop fighting. I'll just grab a handful of chess pieces. If it's an odd number, I'll win." Brother Lu will go first. If it's an even number, then Mr. Kong will go first. What do you think?
This is fair, after all, playing chess also involves luck. Whoever gets the first move means that God is on his side. "
Xiaoyu received the true biography of Feng Yi, the best chess player in the world, and he had learned the advanced light skills of "Chess Spirit Steps" from a young age, which coincided with the theory of chess. He didn't know that his chess power was almost close to that of Feng Yi. He just felt that The old man Kong Ge's chess skills were only average, and it would be too easy to beat him. I just thought that Kong Ge's chess skills were not good, and I was sure Lu Wuchang could beat him.
Little did he know that his own chess skills were already extremely high, so when he turned to the dark under the lamp, he felt that he could see all the mountains and small mountains at a glance.
Kong Ge and Lu Wuchang listened to Xiao Yu's suggestion and both nodded in agreement.
Wang Cheng, the head of Cangyin Sect, and Zhang Gu, the third disciple, naturally watched the chess without saying a word. They sat on one side and drank tea. After hearing Xiaoyu's words, they also smiled slightly and nodded, feeling that it was fair.
Upon seeing this, Xiaoyu reached into Lu Wuchang's white chess basket and grabbed a handful of chess pieces, then placed them on the chessboard on the stone table, then counted them one by one, and then put them all into the white chess basket.
"Okay, there are eleven chess pieces in total. It seems that luck is on Brother Lu's side. Mr. Kong, you have a backup plan." Xiao Yu smiled and then retreated.
Finally, I took a cup of tea and sat on the railing of the pavilion, ready to watch chess.
Hearing this, Kong Ge nodded and made a gesture of invitation to Lu Wuchang.
Lu Wuchang smiled slightly, nodded in return, stretched out his hand to twist the white piece, and landed it on the "Play" position on the left star of the chessboard, which was an ordinary gesture.
Seeing this, Kong Ge breathed a sigh of relief. He took the black piece and then sighed: "Finally, this kid's Tianyuan piece is not his. In the past few days, when I played chess with him, he always made the Tianyuan piece. It made me feel tight in the chest and short of breath. People say Tianyuan's move is tantamount to committing suicide, but this kid can always come back to life, which makes me angry to death."
Lu Wuchang heard this and asked curiously: "This little brother likes Tianyuan Luozi?".
Kong Ge pointed at Xiao Yu, nodded and said: "That's right, you play a game with Lao Chan first, and if you have time later, you can try his Tianyuan move method, and you will definitely be convinced. Tianyuan move is not A fool is a genius, and he is the latter."
Xiao Yu listened to Kong Ge's unabashed praise of herself on one side. She frowned and pretended to be humble, but in fact she said with joy: "Mr. Kong, please don't praise me anymore. I'll be floating in the sky later. I My chess skills are not as amazing as you said. Absolutely amazing! Absolutely amazing!"
Kong Ge looked at Xiao Yu's smug look and curled his lips and said: "You brat, look at your smug look and say such humble words with such pride, how shameless are you? Haha, I admire you for your young age. How can you be so shameless?"
Xiaoyu smiled and put a loquat that she peeled into her mouth, chewed a few mouthfuls, and replied with a playful smile: "Mr. Kong, are you praising me or hurting me? Hahaha..."
"It's not a loss!" Mr. Kong said in a deep voice while playing chess with concentration.
"That's just a compliment to me." Xiaoyu said with a smile.
At this time, the two of them had played nearly thirty moves of chess, and they gradually became more attentive. Kong Ge was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and began to concentrate on playing chess.
Watching chess without speaking is a true gentleman.
Xiao Yu, Wang Cheng, and Zhang Gu also gradually concentrated on watching the chess game and stopped talking.
The waiter took advantage of the nightfall to bring incense burners to repel mosquitoes, lanterns for lighting, and late-night snack fruits placed on the stone table on the other side of the pavilion...
Birds are returning to their nests in the bamboo forest on one side, and their chirping has gradually stopped. Tuberose flowers are blooming quietly by the pond, sending bursts of fragrance...
On both sides of the chessboard in the pavilion, the two people were as quiet as stone sculptures, both thinking carefully about the chess moves, but inside the chessboard, the sky was already in flames and filled with smoke...
The three onlookers had already seen that Kong Ge's chess was close to victory, and Lu Wuchang's chess had been forced to a point of desperation.
While everyone was waiting quietly for Lu Wuchang to think about how to move, a man in black with a sword floated down from the bamboo forest on one side, and stood on the stone pier beside the pool outside the pavilion.
"Is Wang Cheng of Cangyin Sect here?" A deep voice sounded.
In the light of the moonlight, it can be seen that the man in black is holding a long sword with a scarlet blade. The voice sounded like he was in his thirties.
Wang Cheng, the head of Cangyin Sect, heard this and stood up slowly, facing the outside of the pavilion and said calmly: "Who are you? What do you want to do with me?"
"Ji Ruge." The man in black replied coldly, "Come to kill you."
Don’t say anything redundant, and respond with magnanimity.
