Rebirth of the Great Power

Chapter 39

It was the first time that Mu Yuan met Su Yuzhi formally, and the previous few times were just seeing him.Su Yuzhi is a big businessman, but he looks rather cold and arrogant, not easy to get close to; on the contrary, Huan Zhanxuan has a big belly, a round face, a three-sided smile when he sees people, and a well-rounded appearance, he looks more like a businessman.

After the two sat down, Mu Yuan was about to guess, when Su Yuzhi suddenly said, "I've seen your chess, it's pretty good."

Mu Yuan was only a little surprised because the other party spoke suddenly, so he paused before saying, "Thank you."

Su Yuzhi nodded and said nothing more.

The two quickly guessed the right one, and Su Yuzhi took the white.

The start went very smoothly, and after a few set-ups, both parties got something and were satisfied.

Entering the middle game, neither of the two took the lead in provoking a war, and only fought close to each other when it was indispensable.As if they had a tacit understanding, the two of them moved the chess game smoothly to the official stage together.

Not only did Mu Yuan think about it, but Su Yuzhi was already planning for today's game after the lottery was drawn the day before yesterday.

Originally, Su Yuzhi thought that Huan Zhanxuan was his only opponent in Yangzhou Lunping this time. Fan Yanxian, who was also very popular, had fought against Lunping last time, and he was the one who won. As for Lu Zijun, He still doesn't pay attention to such a brat.

It was precisely because he regarded Huan Zhanxuan as the only opponent this time that he deliberately and quietly lost the round when the two met in advance in the first round. He lost very naturally, and he believed that Huan Zhanxuan Surely you can't see it, and no one can see it.The reason why he intentionally lost a round first was naturally so that when the two of them fought again later, Huan Zhanxuan would relax his vigilance against himself who had just lost a round.

Su Yuzhi was not interested in the position of the candidate chess at all. The reason why he took such trouble to calculate was because he wanted to win the title of "Jianghuai Chess King" when he won the championship; He is used to keeping one hand and waiting until the most critical moment to play a role.

However, what Su Yuzhi didn't expect at all was that Mu Yuan saw his tricks, and Ji San guessed his intentions.

Although Su Yuzhi didn't know about that, but after Mu Yuan defeated Fan Yanxian, he had a vague premonition that his calculations were going to fail this time.It just so happened that the match between Fan Yanxian and Mu Yuan happened at the same time as the match between himself and Huan Zhanxuan. If he could have seen their match earlier, maybe he would have changed his plan.

Afterwards, Su Yuzhi's greatest hope was to meet Huan Zhanxuan before meeting Mu Yunzhi. In any case, he wanted to prove that he was not really inferior to Huan Zhanxuan.

However, God did not give him such an opportunity. As a result of the lottery, he will definitely meet Mu Yunzhi first.In his eyes, there was no suspense in the match between Mu Yuan and Lu Zijun.

As early as when Mu Yun had won against Fan Yanxian, Su Yuzhi began to study his chess. After watching the games several times, he felt more and more that this person's chess skills were unfathomable.Su Yu had discovered early on that no matter what kind of opponent he was facing, Mu Yun would always maintain a small advantage. It was true in one set, two sets, and four sets and five sets. It could never be a coincidence.There is only one explanation. His chess strength is much higher than these opponents, so that he can control the situation so well.Su Yuzhi asked himself that he couldn't do it.

His heart was half cold, but it was definitely not Su Yuzhi's style to admit defeat before fighting, and he had to fight with all his strength.

Su Yuzhi knew from the beginning that he had some talent in Go, but it wasn't that high, so he put more energy into more reliable and hard-working officials.Many chess players, especially folk chess players, like to fight in the middle game, because they are fast enough and look good. However, the calculations of officials are trivial, complicated, and boring, and not everyone has the patience to study them seriously.But Su Yuzhi had the patience.

After several years of hard work, the results are quite remarkable.Su Yuzhi believed that no matter which folk expert he faced, as long as he did not fall too far behind, he would be sure to turn defeat into victory when he reached the official stage.Even if it is against the chess in the capital, if it is just to test the kung fu of the school officials, he thinks he has the strength to fight.

Facing Mu Yunzhi, Su Yuzhi also believed that his only hope lay in the officials.

So after the start, Su Yuzhi has been walking cautiously, never taking the lead in attacking.If Mu Yunzhi still only maintains a slight advantage like he used to do before, he will have a chance.

Arriving at Guanzi smoothly, Su Yuzhi breathed a sigh of relief as he was only a little behind as he expected.

However, soon, Su Yuzhi realized that he had made a big mistake.

After entering the official residence, Mu Yunzhi suddenly began to exert his strength. The previous gentle wind and drizzle seemed to be an illusion.

From a layman's point of view, this match is not very exciting, at least compared with the match between Huan Zhanxuan and Fan Yanxian in the morning, its intensity is not at all the same.However, from the perspective of a high-level chess player, this is a very exciting and even classic official game.

Official battles are compared with quick eyesight and quick hands, and accurate calculations.First of all, the size of each official should be evaluated. The basic principle is of course to accept the big official first, and then the small official.There is also the issue of first and second moves. On the chessboard, it is often "the enemy's main point is our main point", and whoever can compete first will benefit more.Sometimes, the value of the first official can vary by more than a dozen or even dozens of orders.

Su Yuzhi had indeed put in a lot of hard work on officials. His evaluation and judgment on the size of officials was basically accurate, and the order was rarely wrong, and there were almost no problems.According to Mu Yuan's judgment, it is quite rare for an amateur chess player to be able to reach the average level of a professional chess player.

However, his opponent was Mu Yuan.As a top-notch professional chess player, Guanzi must be impeccable.The preface and mid-game may also be affected by other factors, but the official is hard work, and there is no excuse to make.In a duel between super-experts, the outcome could be reversed by just a half-eye, and there was no chance of a single mistake.

Mu Yuan's calculations were accurate and his moves were quick, which invisibly put another pressure on Su Yuzhi.At first he was able to keep up with Mu Yuan's speed, but later it became slower and it became very difficult to count every step he took.

Su Yuzhi knew very well that he had already lost this game of chess.

When the accounts were settled after the end, the difference between originally only a few items had expanded to more than a dozen items after the officials were collected, which had never happened in Su Yuzhi's more than ten years of chess playing career.

There is only one explanation, the opponent's level is far beyond what he can achieve.

Thinking of this, Su Yuzhi breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably.

If the opponent's level is on par with your own or only a little higher, then you will still have some desire to win; Only admiration.

Being severely defeated in the field he was best at, Su Yuzhi lost convincingly.

After packing up the chess pieces, Su Yuzhi said, "You are the best chess player I have ever seen."

Mu Yuan smiled lightly.

Su Yuzhi said again: "In the future match between you and Huan Zhanxuan, I will offer 1000 taels to buy you the victory."

When Mu Yuan walked out of the game room, the gazes from all directions were quite different from what they were at the beginning.At first, no one would have thought that this little-known young man would be able to kill all the way here. Even if someone said that he would win the final match in the future, no one would object.

Mu Yuan was still calm. Other people's positive or negative views did not have much influence on him.

On the way back, Mu Yuan told Ji San about the situation of today's game, and Ji San smiled and said, "This Su Yuzhi is quite interesting."

When he was about to reach the residence, Ji San asked again: "There will be no match tomorrow, Brother Mu, is he going to rest for a day, or do you want to go out for a walk?"

Mu Yuan looked at him sideways, and smiled slightly: "Since Brother Ji asks that, do you already have arrangements?"

Ji San's eyes sparkled: "There is a wind-watching pavilion on Xiping Mountain outside the city. It is said that standing there can have a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery of Yangzhou. It is said that there have always been hermits and masters who like to play chess here."

Mu Yuan frowned: "Then why don't you bring the chess board refreshments tomorrow, and let's experience the secluded feelings of the senior masters."

Ji San smiled and said, "Okay."

Early the next morning, Mu Yuan Jisan took the Tianyuan inkstone, packed refreshments, brought the chessboard, and drove the carriage, all the way to Xiping Mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, a few people found a farmer's house, gave some money to store the carriage, took their belongings, and hiked up the mountain.

The Guanfeng Pavilion is on the mountainside, and someone has already walked up the mountain. It is not difficult to walk, except that it is a bit steep. What's more, today's weather is fine and the scenery is beautiful. It is quite interesting to go up the mountain along the way.

Along the way, Ji San told Mu Yuan a few more stories and legends about the Guanfeng Pavilion on Xiping Mountain, one or two of which were related to the Wenping incident, and the other three listened with gusto.Even Mo Yan, who has been with Ji San all the year round, has never heard him tell a story like this.Mo Yan knew very well in his heart who this was in favor of, and he really hoped that Master Mu would not leave so soon in his heart.

Tian Yuan was innocent and innocent. After hearing a few stories, he couldn't help admiring and said: "Ji Sanye, your story is really good, better than the best storyteller in the teahouse. If you go to any teahouse When it comes to storytelling, the store is full of customers every day, and the house is full of cheers."

"Bah, my grandfather is a big deal, so how could he tell stories to others. If it weren't for your young master's honor, you think you can hear stories from our grandfather through the blessings you have cultivated in several lifetimes." Ji San has not yet said. Mo Yan was in a hurry to speak.

It was only then that Tian Yuan realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly said: "Master Ji, don't be angry, the young one can't speak, and if he said the wrong thing, don't be as knowledgeable as the young one."

Ji San smiled nonchalantly: "Tian Yuan is praising me, how could I be angry?"

Tian Yuan heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a naive smile: "Master Ji has a lot." As he spoke, he peeked at Mo Yan who was still stern, carefully tugged at his sleeve, and apologized: "Brother Mo Yan, I said something wrong. Mr. Ji doesn't care about me, so don't be angry with me. "

Seeing his pitiful appearance, Mo Yan wanted to laugh but tried hard to keep a straight face, so he snorted lightly: "Since my lord has a lot, am I a stingy person?"

Tian Yuan hurriedly smiled and said: "Of course not, brother Moyan is the most generous."

Mu Yuan had been listening quietly, and just now he neither defended Tian Yuan nor deliberately reprimanded him, as if he and Ji San were indistinguishable from each other and there was no need to care about each other, but at this moment he smiled and said: "Mo Yan is a good boy .”

Mo Yan immediately grinned when he heard the words: "Thank you Muye for your compliment." It seemed that he was happier to receive a compliment from Mu Yuan than to be praised by his own father.

Ji San looked at Mu Yuan from the side, and when their eyes met, they couldn't help but smile.

Walking all the way and talking, before noon, I arrived at Guanfeng Pavilion.
