Chapter 84: There is a Thunder
There are various gambling methods in the gambling game in the Duke of Chengguo’s Mansion.
Only those who are extremely gambled will have the final victory in the chess game from the beginning, and they usually bet according to the order of the chess game.
Jing Shang was a very cautious and steady person, so he did this, betting a lot of money until the first game. In his opinion, Jing Jiu was the first in the chess game at the Sihai Banquet last year. If he dared to say that, his chess skills would definitely be good. Even if he couldn't win the final victory, it would be very easy to win several games in a row.
Who would have thought that he would meet the impossible childish face in the first game of chess.
The manager naturally knew what was happening on Qipan Mountain and said sympathetically: "The result has not come out yet, so don't worry first."
Jing Shang knew that it was irreversible, so he calmed down a little, bowed his hand and walked into the Duke's Mansion.
The back garden of the Duke's Mansion was already full of people, and half of the well-known princes and nobles in Chaoge City were present.
But they did not stand in the front position today.
Standing in the front were all the national players of chess and pointed at the wall in front.
The owner of Chunxi Chess Hall was not even qualified to speak, so he could only smile.
There was a huge chess board hanging on the wall, next to it were the names and odds of the two sides of the game. Judging from the handwriting, it should have been written not long ago.
The well merchant was not in the mood to see it, standing behind the crowd, silently calculating the matter of selling the property afterwards.
Since you will definitely lose, what's the point of even if Jing Jiu's odds are high?
At this moment, the rumblings of discussion in front of the garden attracted his attention.
...
...
"Why did this step fall here? Does anyone understand?"
"Set up again, I always feel that there is something wrong with that little star."
"Two steps back."
"Not enough, take a step back and let me think about it later."
...
...
Grand Secretary Guo got up, walked to the big chess board, took off more than a dozen pieces, made several changes, turned around and looked at the crowd and said, "Do you understand now?"
Although those princes and nobles who participated in the gambling game could play chess, their chess skills were naturally ordinary and they didn't understand what they meant at all.
The more than ten national players in Chaoge City were thinking.
A moment later, an old man said tremblingly: "So that's how it is!"
More and more national players have understood what Mr. Guo meant, that is, they have understood the beauty of that move. The sound of amazement comes one after another, endlessly and full of praise.
Duke Cheng Guoyu said: "I am still a great master. I can even understand this move."
Grand Secretary Guo smiled bitterly and said, "I just understood what those two people mean a few steps ahead of you. What is the best thing. I have told you a long time ago that the chess power and realm of Tongyan have never been seen in ancient and modern times, and Jing Jiu's level is far beyond you and me. You are a bit unbelievable. What about now?"
At this time, he was already convinced that his guess was correct. In the chess game outside the old plum garden that day, Tong Yan didn't do her best.
In this case, he still had to admit defeat in the middle, and the gap was too big.
...
...
Jing Shang stood behind the crowd and was already stunned.
Listening to Grand Secretary Guo, is Jing Jiu and Tongyan having sex? How is this possible?
He picked up a hot towel from the plate held by the maid, wiped his face hard, and looked at the big chessboard on the wall.
However, after looking at it for a few seconds, he felt a little dazzled and couldn't understand it at all. In desperation, he casually reached out and grabbed someone and asked, "What's the situation now?"
The man said, "You ask me who will I ask?"
Jing Shang said: "Does the national players in front have no opinion?"
The man said, "Today they are like you and me, and they can't even understand chess, so how can they tell the outcome?"
Someone heard this and said mockingly, "The winner depends on the outcome. The bachelor said that the accomplishments of the Tongyan Immortal Master in the chess can be called the first person in history. How could he lose?"
Jing Shang was a little annoyed and said, "You can understand this game of chess with such a certainty?"
...
...
On the chess board mountain.
As time passed, the wild plum trees had been trampled into dust, but no one could understand the game of chess in the pavilion.
People had to go and see those who might understand the chess game.
Que Niang bit her lip and was still thinking about a move she had made a long time ago. I wonder if it was because she was too obsessed with her mind that she didn't even notice that she had bitten her lip.
Shangjiou closed his eyes, his lips trembled slightly, and he was silently thinking about something.
They no longer have the intention to win or lose. The reason why they are still focused on the chess game and are willing to waste their energy and think hard is just to understand this game of chess.
It is really a very hard thing to just keep up with Jing Jiu and Tongyan’s thinking.
By this time, we can accurately judge the chess power.
Gu Yuanyuan and Que Niang are as famous as Shangjiou, but they are obviously a little weaker, so they are the most embarrassed, with a pale face and wet all over by cold sweat.
He just thought this game of chess was terrible.
The two people playing chess are so terrible.
He Jun looked at his appearance and shook his head sympathetically. He wanted to drink, but he realized that the wine pot had been empty for a long time. He couldn't help but feel very depressed.
The chess game in the Pavilion has entered the middle stage, and he can still keep up with the rhythm of Jing Jiu and Tongyan and understand their ideas.
It was precisely because of this that he knew clearly that if he was in the pavilion at this time, he would have lost, whether he was black or white.
Looking at the two people in the pavilion again, he felt like he was defeated and felt a lot of admiration.
...
...
Half an hour has passed since the game.
Jing Jiu and Tongyan did not make a very fast move, but they had never passed the exam for a long time, and the game was very smooth.
A breeze blows, and a green leaf is rolled up and dances into the pavilion, falling on the chessboard.
Jing Jiu and Tongyan's eyes fell on the green leaf, and then looked up.
They looked at each other, confirmed their eyes, and at the same time put the chess piece in their hands back into the small urn.
...
...
The chess game is suspended.
Tea was sent into the pavilion.
Jing Jiu and Tongyan held a teacup, stood by the railing, looking into the distance outside the mountain, without any dialogue.
People were silent when they looked at this scene.
...
...
The board continues.
The wind blew again, a little bigger than before.
Clouds came over Chaoge City, covering the sun and the mountain air gradually cooled down.
The atmosphere between the venue also became more tense.
It's quiet.
No one dared to make a sound.
The chess game has reached the middle plate, and the pieces are getting closer. No matter who doesn't understand chess, they know that the two sides will eventually meet officially.
The first long-term exam for the Tongyan began.
After a hundred breaths, he made a decision.
He grabbed the white chess with three fingers and stretched out toward the board a little clumsy.
I don’t know if it was a coincidence or if the heaven and earth sensed the danger of this move and the infinite murderous intentions in it…
The clouds on Qipan Mountain suddenly swayed, and a lightning appeared deep in the clouds.
The white chess fell gently on the board.
There was a loud bang.
Thunder rang out.
