Chapter 31 The Little Duke of Qi!

Do you show mercy and lose chess on purpose?

Not to mention the door, there is not even a window. A man, a real man, cannot show mercy on the battlefield, and the same is true in the chess game.

In the third game, Li Zhao took the initiative to choose Heizi and started with a large avalanche. This is one of the three complex and difficult-to-solve Go styles. The offensive is like snow rolling on the mountain, pouring down, unstoppable!

Not only is the start fierce, but the moves are even more weird. First, you can use the "Three Stars of Rebirth" and then the "Five Tigers Entering the Mountain"... You still don't admit defeat, okay, then you can use the "Eight Dragons Ascension to the Sky", with a difficulty index of five stars, which is also a famous killer move in the "Xuanxuan Chess Classic"!

At the same time, Cui Zong held the white chess in his hand and fought hard to resist. Unfortunately, the black chess attack was too fierce, sweeping in all directions. White chess prepared in front and back, while left and right were few, and everywhere was few... They were suppressed without any power to fight back.

To put it short, half an hour later, the black chess slaughtered the big dragon and the white chess lost!

The big dragon refers to the entire piece that has not yet settled in the chess game and may be attacked and threatened must at least be more than a dozen pieces, or even more.

As the name suggests, dragon slaying is to kill the opponent's blockbuster pieces and lock in the victory in one fell swoop. However, in Go duels, dragon slaying rarely occurs.

First of all, it is too difficult to kill dragons, and those who are not good at chess skills cannot do it.

Second, slapping dragons is too slapping. Friends need to give the other party some face to play chess between them. Even if you have the opportunity to slay dragons, you will often show mercy and prevent the other party from losing too ugly.

'My little boss, why don't you listen to your advice? I won again in this game. Not only did I win, but I also slaughtered a big dragon. I didn't leave any face for the Duke of Qi... It's over, this time it's completely over.' Manager Sun was so anxious that he sweated like rain, and his legs kept trembling. If it weren't for the white buns supporting him, he would have almost sat on the ground.

Most of the other onlookers had the same view. They lost all three games and the dragon was slaughtered. The young Duke of Qi was so angry that he was so embarrassed that he was furious.

"Ha ha!"

On the other side, Li Zhao was fearless and laughed proudly. As the saying goes: "Watch the word "knows" and "watch the word "knows" and "watch the chess" to know the heart!"

In other words, by looking at the words written by a person, you can know whether a person’s character is good or bad, whether good or evil.

By watching a person's chess style, you can know that the person's nature is right or evil, loyal or treacherous!

Cui Zongzhi was born into a noble family and was born with a bit of arrogance, but he was open and open. This shows that this person is a noble gentleman. He interacted with a gentleman, flattered and flattered, and instead made the other party feel disgusted.

On the contrary, only by being open and honest, straightforward and cheerful can you win the other party’s favor and respect!

Facts have proved that Li Zhao's judgment is completely correct!

"Haha, the young man has excellent chess skills. Zong Zhi lost his heart and thoughtlessly. How could he miss it when he met a master? I would like to set up a banquet in the inn and ask the young man to enjoy the glory."

All three games were defeated. Not only did Cui Zongzhi not become angry, but instead stood up with a smile, carefully tidied up his clothes, saluted Li Zhao respectfully with his hands crossed, and even his name changed from a little friend to a little gentleman.

Losing chess is nothing.

If you lose your character, you will be defeated!

"The little king has invited you, but I dare not obey you... Please!"

"please!"

Faced with the invitation, Li Zhao naturally would not refuse, so he immediately crossed his hands and returned the bow, and then walked side by side with Cui Zongzhi and walked into the inn gate together.

Manager Sun looked at Baimo and hurriedly followed, while the onlookers were stunned at first, and then a fierce discussion broke out...

"Whose young master is this, not only handsome, extraordinary, but also has superb chess skills. In time, he may be another national player, and his achievements are not inferior to the chess and waiter - Wang Jishen."

"I don't know each other, but one of the two followers who went in was Manager Sun from Deshengchang Winehouse. After following the clues, I can definitely find out the origin of this young master."

"No further ado, inquire immediately, and at the same time, make friends with him with an ordinary opportunity."

Everyone outside the inn came to hug the little Duke of Qi, but unfortunately they failed to do so.

Now that Li Zhao has become a VIP, if he can make friends with him and then make a connection, wouldn’t he be able to get in touch with the Duke of Qi?

To take a step back, even if you can't get to the Duke of Qi, it would be a great thing to be able to make friends with such a promising young hero.

...

Let’s talk about Li Zhao and Cui Zongzhi’s entry into Zuixian Inn. After the guests and guests were seated in a high-end room, the servants quickly brought a table of banquets, which was very rich: camel hoof soup, golden jade sashimi, goose and duck roast, flower glutinous rice balls, and a whole roasted lamb...all of them are all color, fragrance and taste!

A large jar of fine wine came up like a follower, which was the famous "Five Clouds" which is a wine produced in the Western Regions. It is bright in color and red as blood. It is a top-notch wine. It is not something that ordinary people can drink.

There are also two vines, flowers, birds, and octane gold cups, which are beautiful.

"Mr., may I have a drink?"

"Haha, man, real man, what's the point of not giving up on a glass of wine!"

"Okay, pour wine!"

A follower was responsible for filling the wine. Li Zhao raised his glass in his hand and drank it all in one go. Then he closed his mouth tightly, savoring the taste of the wine, but couldn't help but frown slightly.

It turns out that this kind of Wuyun Slurry is also a fermented wine. It has many impurities and tastes the same, and the alcohol content is very low, and I'm afraid there is not even ten degrees. It's more like a drink than a wine.

Before traveling through time, Li Zhao was also a man who could enjoy drinking all kinds of wine, especially liked strong wine at 60 to 70 degrees. Now, I am not used to drinking this low-grade fermented wine.

At the same time, Cui Zongzhi also drank the wine in the glass. Seeing Li Zhao’s strange expression, he couldn’t help but ask: “Mr., but isn’t this wine taste good?”

"That's right... it's not."

Li Zhao secretly called out in his heart that his inadvertent little moves would probably cause a misunderstanding. He invited him to drink wine, but he was drinking a world-famous wine. How could he say that the wine was not good? This is too rude.

I would like to explain it, but I don’t know how to speak. Otherwise, if Cui Zongzhi digs into the bottom line, how should he answer... As a time traveler, he cannot reveal a word.

The dog jumped over the wall, the person was anxious and wise. As his eyes turned, Li Zhao saw the wine glass in his hand and immediately came up with a good idea!

"This kind of wine tastes great, but there seems to be a little problem with this wine glass."

"This pair of vine, flower and bird, octane gold cups were presented to my little duke by His Highness Ruyang. They are fine products made by imperial craftsmen. There are not many in the world. How dare you say they are not good!"

The servant next to him interrupted, with a little anger in his words, but also revealed an important message.

Cui Zongzhi had close contact with King Li Guan of Ruyang, otherwise he would not have given such a delicate wine glass. The latter was not only one of the Eight Immortals in the Drinking, but also the nephew of Li Longji, the famous royal family's No. 1 beauty.

"Haha, don't misunderstand it. This eight-edged golden wine glass is naturally a very precious thing, but precious ones may not necessarily be suitable. An ancient poem says: "Grape wine luminous cup, if you want to drink the pipa, don't laugh at me when you lie drunk on the battlefield. How many people have returned from wars in ancient times.

The wine is bright red, and our bearded men drink it, which is not enough to be proud. If it is put into a luminous cup, the color of the wine is just like blood. Drinking alcohol is like drinking blood, wouldn’t it be great!”

Li Zhao borrowed a famous saying from Jin Yong's novels and cleverly evaded this matter. It was not bad, but inappropriate. Now I can't find any fault?

"Haha, Zong Zhisheng loves drinking and thinks he is proficient in drinking, but he never thought that there is such a great question in a small wine glass. Today, he heard the little gentleman's words, and he was like a sudden enlightenment. Take this opportunity to ask for advice.

Cui Zongzhi was intrigued and looked at Li Zhao with admiration. Not only was he skilled in chess, but he was also a master of the wine country, which was too much to his taste.

"I dare to ask the little gentleman, what if you drink wine with a luminous cup, and sorghum wine?"

"Sorghum wine is the oldest wine. In the Xia Yu period, Yi Di made wine. Yu drank it and was sweet, so it was sorghum wine. Therefore, when drinking this sorghum wine, you must use bronze wine to make it have an ancient meaning!"

"It makes sense, what if you drink rice wine?"

"Haha, although the taste of rice wine is beautiful, it loses sweetness and is slightly lighter. You should drink it with a big bowl to show your spirit."

...

Jiao Sui asked more than a dozen kinds of fine wines in succession, and Li Zhao answered them one by one. The former nodded frequently to agree, and there was a hint of praise in his eyes!

"Haha, I really listen to you, it's better than reading for ten years. I didn't expect that the young man was not old and was so knowledgeable and talented. He was really a young hero. Looking at the young man's appearance, the sky was full, the pavilion was round, the forehead was bulging, the seal hall was moist, and he had a vague appearance. He was also surnamed Li, could he be born in the Tang Dynasty? "

Cui Zongzhi has been dealing with high-ranking officials and nobles all year round. He has a sharp look at people and can guess Li Zhao's origins at once.

Li Zhao also had no intention of hiding it, and immediately nodded and admitted: "The young Duke of Qi is indeed as wise as a torch. He is not talented. He is the great grandson of Emperor Taizong, the third son of King Xiao of Wu. Although he is among the royal family, he has no titles and no official positions, which is no different from ordinary people!"

"Oh, the young man is actually a descendant of King Xiao of Wu, so he is really disrespectful."

"polite!"

After explaining their identity and making it open and honest, the two sides immediately became closer and continued to talk while drinking grape wine!

Cui Zongzhi was not only addicted to alcohol, but also a knowledgeable and talented person: astronomy, geography, yin and yang divination, Taoist scriptures, dramatic craftsmanship... It can be said that everything is well-versed and exquisite!

As a time traveler, Li Zhao has a very broad knowledge. No matter what topic he talks about, he can talk endlessly, and there are also amazing words from time to time!

In this way, the more the two of them talked, the more they became, the happier they became. They all felt that they met too late, and their names also changed.

Cui Zongzhi no longer called Li Zhao the young man, but called him nickname: Yulang!

Although it is a kind of honorable title, it is not as friendly as calling a nickname directly!

Similarly, Li Zhao no longer called Cui Zongzhi a small Duke, the latter also had a very loud and easy-to-remember nickname: Cat Slave!

What is the situation? How could the dignified Duke of Qi have such a casual nickname?

Sorry, the nicknames of the ancients were originally very casual. Let’s not talk about the distance for now. Let’s take celebrities from the Sui and Tang dynasties as examples.

Emperor Yang Guang of Sui, nickname: Grandma! (meaning of a beautiful little girl.)

Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty Li Zhi, nickname: Pheasant Nu! (Phizel Cub.)

Today's son Li Longji, nickname: Sanlang! (Six brothers, third)

The prime minister of the dynasty, Li Linfu, nickname: Genu! (meaning of a little clever ghost)

You understand. Although the nicknames of the ancients are a little casual, they all have meaning.

The question is, why is Cui Zongzhi called a cat slave?

The answer is very simple. His parents are both cat lovers. On the day his baby son was born, the female cat at home happened to have a litter of kittens, so the nickname "Cat Slave". It doesn't sound so nice, but it's definitely not bad. There is still a little cuteness!

"Yu Lang!"

"Cat slave!"

"Yu Lang!"

"Cat slave!"

"Haha... Cheers!"
