Whispering on the pond

Chapter 4 Matching opponents

Once the poetry meeting was over, it was a holiday, so Qi Qianzhi didn't have to go to court, so he was at ease.

Mu Xiubai was cleaning the desk in the study when Qi Qianzhi called him.

Looking back, he saw Qi Qianzhi sitting on the table, the opposite table was empty, a short chessboard was placed between the two seats, he rolled a sunspot and said, "Can you play chess?"

Seeing that Mu Xiubai didn't express his opinion, Qi Qianzhi raised his eyebrows and said: "I heard that the young masters of Drunken Jade Pavilion are very talented, and they can play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. But Suiyu is half famous for singing and half for chess."

Mu Xiubai had no choice but to sit down and pick up a white piece from the chess box.As soon as I sat down, I found that the chessboard was wrong.Count silently, the chessboard is seventeen, not nineteen.

"Adversary chess?" Qi Qianzhi asked as if asking for advice, and then put the black and white pieces on the opposite star position, "White goes first, please."

Mu Xiubai was a little surprised to see that he had posed in all four corners, which was different from the rules he was used to.But as far as the start is concerned, it is very fair to both parties.And at the beginning of chess practice, who didn't take turns with the opponent to finish the star position before starting the battle.I feel fine.

Mu Xiubai dropped the first coin, and Xiaofei hangs the corner.

Qi Qianzhi also settled down immediately.

Mu Xiubai also gave birth.He is familiar with these basic Go patterns by heart, and he can handle them with ease.The seventeen-lane chessboard has less room to play than the nineteen-lane chessboard, and the Central Plains area is also small. Mu Xiubai felt that it would not look too ugly after the corners were firmly established.Do your best no matter what.

……

At the beginning of March, Qi Qianzhi had a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, he wiped it off with his sleeve, and said, "Let's count."

The situation on the chessboard has not yet reached the point where one side has a clear advantage.Mu Xiubai's mouth was also parched, and he began to nod his eyes.

Baizi 140 seven mesh, sunspot 140 two mesh.Qi Qianzhi looked at him and nodded, and said, "Baizi 140 Qimu, it's you who won."

Mu Xiubai showed a slightly relieved smile.Qi Qianzhi said: "Wangyue is good at chess, come again?"

Mu Xiubai nodded.Start to pack the chess pieces.From Qi Qianzhi's point of view, the rules here do not fit the purpose.If it is close to the target, he may not win.

……

Mu Xiubai's first game of chess was restless, but later on he got better and better, and Qi Qianzhi lost his helmet and armor in one afternoon.After Qi Qianzhi played the last game, he threw a chess piece, and said angrily: "What a moon, are you getting braver as you fight?"

Mu Xiubai immediately avoided the table and bowed.Qi Qianzhi snorted, "Do you think I'm such a stingy person? Can I take my anger out on others by playing chess?"

Then he slowed down and said, "Still not getting up? I didn't ask you to beg me after I said it, don't beg me."

Mu Xiubai just got up.

"Who are you showing the scared look? If you were afraid of me, why didn't you think about it when you killed my chess just now?"

Mu Xiubai knew that Qi Qianzhi was joking just as soon as he bowed his head.But his anger towards Qi Qianzhi is really neurotic.

"Play chess with me often in the future."

Mu Xiubai nodded.

But he can only play chess and calligraphy, but not piano and painting.There is a qin in the room of Zuiyu Pavilion, Suiyu will definitely play the qin.If asked, I don't know how to deal with it.

Although Qi Qianzhi is not angry because he is inferior to others in Go.But as soon as Li Xuancheng visited in the afternoon, Qi Qianzhi pulled him over to play chess.

Li Xuancheng sat down on the table, grabbed a handful of chess pieces, put them in the center of the chessboard, and said: "Odd or even?"

Guessing pieces generally refers to guessing the number of pieces in the opponent's hand, but you don't need to guess the integer, only guess the odd or even, if you guess right, go first.

Mu Xiubai compared one to one.

Li Xuancheng let go of his hand, all the white stones were placed on the plate, the points were in pairs, and he said: "Accept."

Li Xuancheng took the lead and made Tianyuan first.

Those who dare to play like this, either have great chess skills, or their brains are caught by the door.

Playing against Li Xuancheng, Mu Xiubai was pressed hard from the very beginning, barely occupying a small territory.Mu Xiubai was overwhelmed by Bai Zi's offensive, and finally he couldn't do it. He really only clicked three-three and took the corner, and then he couldn't move an inch.Dot [-] is the least difficult and easiest move to survive, but it will also make the opponent form a stable momentum on the periphery.But when encountering an opponent like Li Xuancheng, even if he tries to grab the middle ground, it may not be his own.

At the end of the game, Li Xuancheng was already sleepy.

"Your Highness, I beg your pardon, Mochizuki's chess skills are as bad as your Highness."

Qi Qianzhi was very calm: "Well, I dare not take it, Mochizuki is a little better than me."

Li Xuancheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You called me here just because of this? Your Highness, please stop playing chess with me. You and Mochizuki should be just right."

Qi Qianzhi wanted to ask for advice: "I am playing chess with Mochizuki, can Chengyun help me?"

……

So far, Mu Xiubai looked at Li Xuancheng with admiration.

In fact, it's not entirely true, Mu Xiubai never felt that Li Xuancheng was useless.Especially Li Xuancheng is good at medicine, Mu Xiubai always wanted to study medicine before.

Li Xuancheng barely watched the two play a game, and said: "Your Highness, you took the lead too early and your chess position is unstable. Although you have the upper hand, you are attacked from the back and the back. The lower right corner has already become a dead chess game. Such a move will affect the whole body." , here, here, even here, there is no way out."

"Mochizuki plays conservatively, stabilize the rear and then guide step by step." Pointing to Qi Qianzhi's dead piece of chess, he said, "When killing chess, it is very good to use a move that hits east and west, especially the black move, which combines inside and outside. It’s a good move.”

"However... when the black piece starts in the belly of the white piece, it is a little unsafe to consider." Touching a white piece, "as long as the white piece breaks here, the black piece will have to lose the pawn to save the rook, and the dead piece of the white piece will become a living piece. It is to lose the tiny land surrounded by the black chess pieces."

Neither Qi Qianzhi nor Mu Xiubai spoke.With Li Xuancheng's move, the game was reversed.

When Li Xuancheng said this, his tone was more sincere, quite like a good Go teacher with grace.Then his tone raised, and he looked like a different person from before.

"However, if I were Heizi, how would I be able to make such a move. I knew you would lose the moment your Highness jumped to the center. Sigh... Heizi is indeed too merciful..."

Qi Qianzhi's face became very exciting.But he just took a sip of tea, and changed the subject calmly: "Actually, I came to you not just to play chess. You pretended to be deaf and dumb yesterday to be happy. Have you thought about it after going back for a day?"

"What does the intelligence say about the Southern Liang army changing clothes?"

"Not false."

"Since it is true, His Majesty has his own decision on such important matters. It's just..."

"how?"

"It's probably not as simple as improving weapons and changing clothes in Nanliang to destroy Hanshan. I thought Nanliang would take Wu Ku first. Although Wu Ku is in the north, except for the fact that the soldiers are not acclimatized, it is still easier than the terrain of Hanshan. Taking... I'm afraid that Nanliang is not just changing clothes, but colluding with those nomads."

Qi Qianzhi said: "You think so too? How likely do you think it is?"

Li Xuancheng said: "Wu Ku faced Hanshan, Nanliang, and our dynasty three times, but not foreigners; Hanshan faces both Nanliang and foreigners, what do you think? Hanshan loses again, and it will be a country of ten thousand chariots. The way Nanliang destroys Hanshan is better to say Injure the enemy one thousand, and self-injury eight hundred. It will be much easier to fight Wu Kui, but it is far more difficult for foreign troops to penetrate, and the emperor is far away from taking Yeshan Gao, so he may not agree to it."

Qi Qianzhi said: "...to go down the cold mountain in January, the foreign troops are so strong, it is really a big trouble for the Central Plains."

Mu Xiubai listened silently.

After all, the Holy Majesty decided to make peace with Nanliang, and did not issue a paper of appeal.Wu Ku's attitude is not very clear.After the destruction of Hanshan Mountain, most of the Hanshan refugees fled across the border into Wu Ku, and Wu Ku must have been overwhelmed.

Qi Qianzhi returned to Chengqiu Palace shortly after the Shangsi Festival.Qi Qianzhi spent more days in Chengqiu Palace, but less in Shangxian Court.It has been three years since he began to attend political affairs.Qi Yue began to hand over some affairs to him.

Mu Xiubai was always relieved when Qi Qianzhi returned to the Qiu Palace.

After recovering his memory, Mu Xiubai's thought of running away became stronger.At any rate, he came from a highly civilized place relative to here, and he once had his own life.Although this is not any dynasty in ancient China, the level of economic production here is roughly similar to that of Han Dynasty.Although his current body is not his own, it is [-]% similar to his previous appearance.It would be best if I could go back.To be honest, he felt that the possibility of going back was not very high. He was resurrected inexplicably after his death, and it was hard to say whether he could return to his own body if he went back.

His top priority is to get used to this place as soon as possible, and then leave as soon as possible.He took his life in vain, and he wants to live his next few decades well.

Mu Xiubai could walk around the garden freely if he was not grounded, so he walked around the garden eight times a day, silently memorizing the pattern in his heart.
