Rebirth of the Great Power

This night, the two brothers talked for a long time about the moonlight.For Mu Yuan, this was the first time he had such a heart-to-heart talk with his brother, and of course it was the same for Mu Hong.

In the past, I only felt that my elder brother was too withdrawn and difficult to get close to. Even if there were some things in my heart, I didn’t know how to say them. Since my eldest brother recovered from his serious injury, it seemed like a different person. Although he was still so obsessed with Go, he was much gentler and kinder. , Chess is making rapid progress.Although Mu Hong also felt that it was too unbelievable for Meng Qinglong to give chess records, but it was a fact that the elder brother had enlightened.In any case, the elder brother is still the elder brother, that's enough.

In the end, Mu Yuan looked at Mu Hong with a serious tone: "Second brother, elder brother will go out this time, and he will return in a month or so sooner; I have a younger sister, please take care of me."

Mu Hong smiled and said, "Brother, don't worry. With me here, everything will be fine."

Mu Yuan nodded, and smiled gratifiedly: "This should be my responsibility as the eldest son, but now I have to trouble the second brother. My parents are here, so I don't travel far, but what I want all my life is chess." Mu Yuan Yuan looked up at the moon, and whispered to himself: "For thousands of years, what has never changed, except for this moonlight, is only the black and white two sons."

Mu Hong didn't hear the latter sentence clearly, but he heard the first sentence clearly: "Brother, don't say that. I also have the responsibility to take care of my parents and younger sister. A good man should have high aspirations. I envy my elder brother for having his own dreams and pursuits, and he will support me wholeheartedly. Because I believe that if I change places, my elder brother will definitely support me with all his strength."

Mu Yuan put one hand on his shoulder, "Brother will remember your words."

In the early morning of the second day, the carriage hired by Master Mu had been assembled, and the family was saying goodbye.

Before parting, Master Mu handed over a letter to Mu Yuan: "Yuan'er, this is a letter of recommendation for my father from Lord Governor. With this letter, you are eligible to participate in the Chess Championship in Yangzhou. You must be close to me." Put it away, don't lose it."

Mu Yuan took it with both hands, lowered his eyes and said, "The child knows, father has bothered."

"Well," Master Mu nodded, and finally said: "Go, be careful all the way. Tian Yuan, take care of the young master."

"Don't worry, master." Tian Yuan replied loudly.

The caravan agreed over there came to remind him once, and Mu Yuan and Tian Yuan got into the carriage and left.

It was not until the shadow of the car body could no longer be seen that Master Mu led his family back to the mansion.

The caravan Mr. Mu was looking for was a small caravan, with only three merchants, selling some silk tea to the Guanlong area, passing through Yangzhou.Merchants have been doing business all year round, so they are very familiar with the roads, so they can take care of them when they go on the road together.The leader of the team was a tea merchant, surnamed Guan, known as Boss Guan.Boss Guan has been in business for many years, he is very experienced, and he is also cheerful and talkative. Afraid that Mu Yuanchu would not be used to traveling far away, he specially chatted with him a few more words along the way.

In fact, it was indeed the first time for Mu Yuan to travel far alone, but not for Wang Zheng.However, in the past, all trips were by plane and train, and they arrived on the same day. This kind of experience is also new.Hearing Boss Guan talk about his experience in various places in the business, he couldn't help but think of Ji San who had met once, and wondered where he was now.

Departing early in the morning, I finally arrived in Huzhou before sunset. After entering the city, I found an inn to settle down.After the meal, Boss Guan came to tell Mu Yuan that the caravan would stay in Huzhou tomorrow to buy some goods, Mr. Mu could also take a stroll in Huzhou tomorrow, and then set off on the day after tomorrow.

Mu Yuan thanked her and went back to her room.

After a day of driving, I was still a little tired, so I took a rest early.

After breakfast the next day, Mu Yuan took the excited Tian Yuan out for shopping.Tian Yuan, who had never left Qiantang since he was a child, was obviously a little over excited. After asking someone about the busiest street in the city, he dragged Mu Yuan there, feeling novelty in everything he saw along the way.Huzhou is not far from Qiantang, the customs and customs of the two places are not too different, even the shops on the street and the things they sell are almost the same, but Tianyuan has the ability to distinguish some differences.

Mu Yuan looked at Tian Yuan who was running ahead with a light smile and shook his head slightly, with a little connivance in his eyes.After all, they come from a modern society where everyone is equal, and Mu Yuan doesn't have much master-servant concept in his heart. He treats Tian Yuan not so much as a servant, but more like a little brother next door. There is a little more master-student relationship between them.Tian Yuan was not raised as a servant since he was a child, and since he was still young and his master was gentle and indulgent, the concept of master and servant became much weaker.In the eyes of others, it might be a bit inappropriate, but for the two of them, this kind of getting along is quite consistent with their temperaments.

When the sun was high, it seemed that the noise in the street was also louder.Mu Yuan has always liked to be quiet. Apart from playing chess, if he has free time, he prefers to make a cup of tea, read a book, and listen to music. Even if he has to go out for activities, he also prefers to go to places where there are few people.However, once in a while in this busy city, you don't have to feel emotional, especially this busy city has a completely different style from the modern city, but has the same human touch.

Mu Yuan's wandering thoughts were pulled back by Tian Yuan's suddenly raised voice: "Master, look quickly, there is someone setting up a chess game over there, let's go and have a look."

Hearing the chess game, Mu Yuan immediately became interested, and squeezed away from the crowd to take a closer look. There was a chessboard on a small table, and on the chessboard was a question of life and death.Sitting behind the table was a thin man with a goatee, who looked like a gangster, without raising his head, he just said coolly: "Take a game of ten coins, if you win, it's yours, if you lose, it's yours." Mine. This disk is black first, work."

There are quite a few people around, some say this solution, and some say that solution, but for the time being, no one has really done it.

Mu Yuan looked at the chessboard, and he knew the reason why everyone was talking about it but didn't do it. This problem seems simple at first glance, but if you solve it according to the usual way of thinking, you will fall into a trap. Returned with a broken halberd.

Of course, Mu Yuan couldn't be troubled by such a small change of move. He smiled slightly, and stretched out his hand to pick up a sunspot to slap it on the chessboard. Unexpectedly, there happened to be a hand stretched out from the slanting thorn, and he picked up a sunspot towards the chessboard. go in the same direction.

When two equally slender and good-looking hands touched slightly above the chessboard, Mu Yuan was taken aback, and when he looked up, he bumped into a pair of dark and deep eyes that were also surprised.When he saw the owner of that hand clearly, the word "what a coincidence" popped out in Mu Yuan's heart. That handsome man in white clothes is not Ji San!

After being suddenly surprised, the two looked at each other with a tacit smile, and they coincidentally stacked the sunspots in their hands on the same intersection.

After the goatee saw where Heizi had landed, his expression changed suddenly, and when he looked up, he saw a young man who was equally handsome and extraordinary, standing in front of him.The four smiling eyes looked over calmly, Goatee's heart skipped a beat, and he knew he had met a master.

Sighing, the goatee happily threw out ten copper coins, clasped his fists and said, "My two masters, it's not easy to make a living out of rivers and lakes, so please raise your hands high."

The two of them didn't say much, they just smiled and turned away together, as for the ten pennies on the case, no one paid any attention to it.

Seeing the two leave, Goatee heaved a sigh of relief, re-arranged the problem with chess pieces, and sat back down again.

After squeezed out of the crowd, it was Ji San who opened his mouth first, looked over with his pitch-black eyes, and still smiled affectionately: "It turns out that Brother Mu is also a master of Yilin."

Mu Yuan smiled lightly: "Brother Ji doesn't give in too much."

After talking, the two looked at each other again and smiled, the breeze was blowing, and everything was kept silent.

The two walked side by side, Tian Yuan and Mo Yan followed behind.

"When did Brother Mu come to Huzhou?"

"It arrived yesterday."

"What a coincidence, me too. Brother Mu has something to do here."

"No, it's just passing through here and staying for a day."

"Oh, I don't know where brother Mu is planning to go?" Ji San just finished speaking, and seemed to think of something, and continued: "Could it be Yangzhou?"

"Exactly. How did Brother Ji know?" Mu Yuan was a little surprised.

Ji San smiled lightly: "Sure enough. Brother Mu is going to participate in the Yangzhou Forum, right?"

Mu Yuan understood immediately, but secretly praised the other party's quick thinking, and replied, "Not bad."

Chatting all the way, the two walked out of the busy city unknowingly, and were about to meet up to drink tea and continue talking, when the guard driving the car that Mu Yuan had seen before appeared out of nowhere, bowed to Ji San, and whispered Said: "Master, Ah Da just sent the news."

Ji San straightened his face, suppressed his smile and nodded: "I see."

When he turned to face Mu Yuan, his expression softened a bit: "It's rare to meet again by fate. I wanted to chat with Brother Mu, but I just have something to do right now."

Mu Yuan also felt regretful in his heart, but he still said, "It's okay, the business is important."

Ji San then asked: "Where is brother Mu's couch?"

"Cloud Lai Inn."

"Then, if it's convenient for Brother Mu, I'll visit you later."

"Okay." Mu Yuan responded.

After bidding farewell to Ji San, Mu Yuan lost You Xing and returned to the inn with Tian Yuan.

After lunch, thinking about when Ji San would come, he didn't want to go out, so as not to miss each other, so he simply took out the chess pieces and taught Qi Tianyuan.

"Life and death are the foundation of Go, and a good life and death is the prerequisite for playing Go well. Do you remember the foundation of life and death that I told you before?"

Tian Yuan nodded: "I remember."

"Okay, then let's look at a life-and-death problem today." Mu Yuan set it up on the chessboard while talking.

"Master, I have a question." Mu Yuan was setting up the chess pieces, but Tian Yuan couldn't help asking first.

"You said."

"Why did the stall owner admit defeat after you and that Mr. Ji just had a deal today?"

Mu Yuan smiled slightly: "I don't know what Tianyuan wants to ask. The so-called 'experts will know if they have a shot', there is a trap in that question, but as long as you see through the trap, it is not difficult to solve. Our first question The hand hit the most critical point, and he knew that we had seen through the trap when he saw it, so he naturally surrendered."

"Oh, so that's the case." Tian Yuan was stunned, and then asked: "In this way, isn't that Third Master Ji also very powerful?"

Mu Yuan pondered for a while and said: "He can see through that trap at a glance, so his chess strength is definitely not weak. As for how high it is, you have to play it to know."

Tian Yuan's face revealed a smug expression: "No matter how tall he is, Tian Yuan only knows that he must not be as tall as the young master."

Mu Yuan laughed: "How did you know that!"

Tian Yuan raised his head: "I knew it. Because the young master is the most powerful."

"Okay," Mu Yuan smiled lightly and tapped his head: "No matter how tall it is, it's taller than you anyway. You solve this problem first, then we'll talk."
