Rebirth of the Great Power

When Mu Yuan walked to Yan Yu Tianyuan's side, the winner was already displayed on the big chessboard.

The spectators burst into applause.

"Miss Luyi really won again, she is indeed the number one female chess player in Daqi!"

"Haha, let me just say, Miss Luyi won't lose. How? Brother Yu, you made a wrong bet again."

"Hey, isn't that right? I want to give it a go. The one surnamed Mu looks really bad, but he is still invincible. Sigh! Xiaosheng is really convinced now."

……

It would not be an exaggeration for Yan Yu and Tian Yuan to say that they were a little shocked.Especially Tian Yuan, he never thought that Mu Yuan would lose, in his eyes, the teacher is the best chess player in the world, no one can beat him.

Yan Yu sighed secretly in his heart, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, and on the chessboard, it changes rapidly.Miss Luyi's chess prowess has been proven by her three-year undefeated record; although he has not fully experienced Mu Yuan's strength, he has an inexplicable trust in it, and what he must say is his feeling.So he tried his best to facilitate this game. In fact, the excitement of this game did not live up to his expectations.I'm just a little puzzled. At the end of this game, the situation is indeed two points. At the end, either side may lose the whole game if they make a slight mistake.But the teacher has always played chess carefully, and it is absolutely impossible to make a mistake at the end, and it is far from the time to admit defeat.

However, the facts are in front of us.

Although Yan Yu had regrets, he could understand. , The outcome of a game can't explain anything.

However, Tian Yuan couldn't understand that it was not the style of the teacher, let alone the character of the teacher.

"Teacher..." Tian Yuan opened his mouth, just about to ask.

Mu Yuan pressed down lightly with one hand, and said with a smile, "Let's go first."

"Oh." Tian Yuan nodded.

Seeing Mu Yuan's calm face, Tian Yuan's anxiety was suddenly calmed down.In any case, he believed in the teacher, and the teacher must have his own reasons.

On the contrary, Yan Yu aggravated the doubts in his heart.

Until he walked out of Baitiwuxiang, Yan Yu still couldn't let go, and couldn't help but say: "Teacher, this chess game..." He felt that it was inappropriate to ask any questions.

Mu Yuan said seriously: "I didn't intend to win this game from the beginning."

"Why?" Yan Yu was shocked, and he couldn't understand the next game that he didn't intend to win at the beginning.If you don't intend to win, why bother playing?

Yan Yu couldn't help but express his doubts.

Mu Yuan smiled: "But, as a teacher, I really want to see the chess strength of this number one female chess player. This is a feeling that I can't hold back as a chess player."

"Why didn't the teacher plan to win?" Since I asked, I asked them all.

Mu Yuan was silent for a while, then sighed: "Compared to survival, losing a game of chess is nothing!"

Yan Yu and Tian Yuan were a little puzzled, what does a game of chess have to do with survival?

Mu Yuan didn't explain much, but instead said: "This game of chess is pretty good, it's late tonight, let's play again tomorrow. If Yu'er is free, let's come together."

"Good teacher. Tomorrow morning, the students will accompany their mother to worship the Buddha, and the students will come to the door in the afternoon."

"Very good, then let's resume in the afternoon."

In the afternoon of the next day, besides Yan Yu, there was another distinguished guest who came to the door.

It was the first time for Yan Yu to meet the legendary King of Xin. He was as imaginative as a dragon and a phoenix, with an extraordinary bearing, but more approachable than he imagined.

Yan Yu saluted and said, "Cao Min Yan Yu, I have seen the prince."

Ji Jin gave him a little help, and said with a smile: "There is no need to be so polite in private. I heard Brother Mu said that he has accepted a high-ranking apprentice. When I saw him today, I am really high-spirited and high-spirited."

Yan Yu got up generously and said modestly, "Your Highness is absurd."

When looking at Mu Yuan, the smile in his eyes deepened: "I heard that there was a good game in Baiyulou last night. A young man surnamed Mu fought with a girl named Luyi who was famous in the capital, but lost. I don't know Brother Mu Do you know this Mr. Mu?"

It was the first time that Mu Yuan saw Ji San who was a bit narrow-minded like this, and he responded frankly to his knowing question: "The person Ji Xiong said is the one who is right here."

Ji Jin tilted his head slightly, with doubts in his eyes.

He heard about the battle in Baiyulou last night, and guessed that the person was Mu Yuan, but he couldn't believe that he lost.Probably no one has more confidence in Mu Yuan than him, not only in his chess skills, but also in his code of conduct.He could probably guess some of the reasons why Mu Yuan didn't win, but he still couldn't help coming over to ask himself what happened whenever he had time.

Mu Yuan smiled and said, "We're preparing for the resumption, Brother Ji, please come along."

"Okay." Ji Jin replied, and walked side by side to the chess room with Mu Yuan.

Although he had already guessed that the relationship between the teacher and King Xin was not simple, but when he saw it with his own eyes, Yan Yu realized that their relationship was better than what he and his father thought.Whether it's the tacit understanding of a look, a movement; or the naturalness of speaking when getting along, it seems that there is no difference in status or status between them, but they are confidants who can deliver life and death and share weal and woe.

Yan Yu was stunned for a while because of this knowledge, and didn't react until Tian Yuan patted him.

Under Tian Yuan's introduction, after Yan Yu and Mo Yan greeted each other, the three of them walked in together.

After making dozens of moves on the chessboard, Mu Yuan stopped, and asked Xun Xun, "What have you discovered so far?"

After thinking for a while, Ji Jin discovered the clue, but he knew that Mu Yuan wanted to test the students' eyesight by asking this question, so he naturally didn't say anything.

Yan Yu soon saw the hidden ambush, "ah", pointed to the white pieces and said, "Here, and here, these few pieces don't seem to have much connection, if the black pieces don't respond In the later stage, as long as the white chess makes another eye here, it can easily be made into a solid ground." Yan Yu waved his hands while talking.

"But if the black chess wants to break through the void now, it will first be surrounded by the white chess, and it is very likely to be trapped here. Even if it is fleeing or doing work, it seems that it is not very cost-effective." Tian Yuan followed the train of thought given by Yan Yu. After understanding it, he frowned and thought about the solution.

"Brother Tianyuan, do you still remember how the teacher responded?" Yan Yu was not in a hurry, and asked with a smile.

"That's right, there is also the teacher's response." Tian Yuan suddenly said, and soon made the next few moves with Yan Yu.

"It turns out that the teacher's chess moves are for such a purpose, no wonder."

Mu Yuan smiled with satisfaction, and then resumed.

After dozens more moves, Yan Yu suddenly said: "It seems that from here on, the style of white chess began to change."

Mu Yuan didn't speak, and continued to swing.

What followed was a wonderful battle. Mu Yuan analyzed while explaining, clearly explaining the pros and cons of each.What I still didn't understand when I was watching chess yesterday is now clear. For Yan Yu and Tian Yuan, this time the replay has gained a lot.

After a long sigh of relief, Yan Yu raised the doubts in his heart: "Why did Bai's chess style change so much before and after? What happened at that time?"

Ji Jin murmured: "Miss Luyi discovered that brother Mu's chess strength is far superior to her." Pointing to some of the chess moves, "These chess moves between the changes in the style of chess are obviously messy. At this time, the chess player's heart should be in a mess. Later, I was afraid that he would live to death, but he forced out more exciting chess anyway."

Mu Yuan nodded, and followed Ji Jin's words: "Girl Luyi's chess skills are actually very high. She has a good sense of chess, and her thinking in playing chess is very smooth. Every step is very stable, and her basic skills are very solid. However, on the chessboard, There are many factors that affect the outcome. Chess strength is not the only one, and the mentality of the players is equally important. How many first-class chess players often lose in major tournaments is not because of lack of chess power, but because of lack of mentality.

"Over the years, she has never lost a single game. Miss Luyi has accumulated too much pressure. The more she cares about winning or losing, the easier it is for her to lose her mentality. I don't know what her previous chess game was like, but this game was a bit too tricky .Facing opponents with low chess skills, it is natural that there will be no disadvantages; when meeting first-class chess players, it is easy to suffer losses. In fact, with her chess strength, there is no need to be like this. It's just that she doesn't dare. Only after she is put to death can she show her true strength."

Putting down the last chess piece, Mu Yuan said: "The next one is the officials. Do the math, if both sides make no mistakes, what will be the final outcome?"

Yan Yu, Tian Yuan, and Mo Yan are not very good at martial arts, and after a long time of calculation, they still can't figure it out, and finally Ji Jin gave the answer: "If both sides make no mistakes, black will win with a half-eye. "

Seeing Mu Yuan nodded, Tian Yuan finally asked: "Teacher, Tian Yuan still doesn't understand why you lost this game? Isn't it the greatest respect for your opponent to go all out? What did you say about survival yesterday?" , Tian Yuan doesn't quite understand."

Yan Yu and Mo Yan both looked over upon hearing the words, and Ji Jin also looked at Mu Yuan seriously.

After a long silence, Mu Yuan sighed: "For most people, Go is a hobby, a competition, entertainment, and maybe even a career; but for Miss Luyi, Go is the foundation of life. The fate of brothel girls , I think you all understand that even if you have a good skill, you will never be able to beat the word "wealth and power". Since Miss Luyi can create such a momentum for herself with Go, she must be undefeated for three years. There must be unknown hardships behind it. To be able to do this, she must not be willing to accept her fate. How can I have the heart to let her hard work go to waste."

Tian Yuan was thoughtful, but there was still something he couldn't figure out: "It's just the outcome of a game of chess. Even a national player can't be judged by a game. Teacher is not a person who is greedy for beauty. The reward of a thousand pieces of gold is enough, and she doesn't need to accompany her for a day. In this way, the girl's innocence can be preserved, and the teacher's reputation will not be damaged in the future, wouldn't everyone be happy!"
