Rebirth of the Great Power

Lu Zijun watched the game of chess between Mu Yuan and Su Yuzhi, and knew that his official skills were very good.As for his official son, he may not have a chance of winning against Su Yu's capital, let alone Mu Yuan who defeated Su Yuzhi in the official son's battle.This is also the reason why he admitted defeat in his heart before the chess game was over, and claimed to be asking Mu Yuan for advice on Kung Fu from an official.

In a complete chess game, there are generally about forty moves in the layout stage, and about 150 moves in the mid-game battle, and the number of hands of officials can sometimes account for about half of the overall number of hands.In a specific chess game, there are many situations where the outcome is reversed due to poor closing skills or careless moves, which shows the importance of officials in a game of chess.

However, compared with the intense stimulation of fighting in the middle game, Guanzi seems trivial and boring. In addition, there is no pressure from competitive competitions. Most chess players in this era do not pay much attention to studying Guanzi Kung Fu.Most of the chess games are basically over if there is a slight gap in the middle game. It is probably only in high-level games that the importance of middle officials can be demonstrated.

Among the chess players that Mu Yuan has encountered so far, Su Yuzhi is the best official player, and even Fan Shixuan, if it is only about official players, he may be slightly inferior.However, if Su Yuzhi faced Fan Shixuan, he wouldn't be able to win the official position at all, so he would have to vote in the middle game.To be a good official, one needs to work hard.Su Yuzhi, as a well-known merchant in the south of the Yangtze River and even in the whole of Daqi, can still work so hard on officials, which shows his perseverance and tenacity.

When Mu Yuan was Wang Zheng, he spent several years practicing official games. In all the games he played as an adult, he never lost a game as long as he was not opened up before the official players.In other words, no one has ever beaten him in official affairs.What officials need is a lot of calculations and solid basic skills. Talent is far less than hard work at this time.Many chess players with average talent, in order to prolong their competitive life, mostly work hard under officials.And Wang Zheng's hard work is no less than his talent.Someone once said that Wang Zheng is a desperate chess player, both in terms of talent and hard work.

Lu Zijun, who was playing chess with him at this moment, deeply felt this kind of despair.

After the entire game of chess has been collected, there should be only a few moves in the middle of the game, but it has expanded to more than a dozen moves. This is because Lu Zijun feels that the closing is not bad.

Lu Zijun sighed to himself: "Brother Mu is brilliant, brother fool is convinced."

Mu Yuan smiled: "Do you want a replay?"

Lu Zijun's eyes lit up: "Can I?"

No wonder Lu Zijun was pleasantly surprised. Chess players in this era have their own masters, just like martial arts sects. .Between chess players of different divisions and ranks, it is okay to discuss the game, and very few of them replay the game together.

Lu Zijun has already seen Mu Yuan's chess skills, and the other party does not shy away from differences in masters, and is willing to discuss together, so he naturally wishes for it.

Seeing the end of the chess game, the onlookers had already planned to disperse separately, but when they heard the two said that they wanted to resume the game, they immediately gathered around again.

This game of chess, from the beginning to the end, was very enjoyable, especially Mu Yuan's impeccable officials, which made people very heartbroken.The two chess players are stronger than the others present, so not every move can be understood by them.Now that the two of them are going to replay in public, naturally no one wants to miss this opportunity to learn.

Mu Yuan's replay is very detailed. Every time everyone has doubts, he will explain in detail his thinking on how to play chess, and whether there are other solutions; he will also point out the opponent's question and give a better move. chess direction.

Everyone benefited a lot from the replay of a game of chess.Even Mu Yuan himself learned more about the thinking of chess players in this era in the process.As for the others, they felt Mu Yuan's overall view and depth of calculation more deeply.

At the end of the review, everyone felt a little unfinished.

There was a surge of heat in Qi Yingming's chest, it hadn't been like this for a long time, as if the blood in his whole body was about to boil.Especially after entering the reserve, what I think about every day is how to become the main candidate, and playing chess has become a stressful thing.This year is already his third year in the alternate office, if he can't succeed in the challenge at the beginning of next year, there won't even be a place for him in the alternate office.However, his condition is getting worse and worse, the more anxious he is, the less he can play good chess; the more he can't play good chess, the more anxious he is.For many nights, he opened his eyes until dawn, not knowing where the road ahead was and where he should go.

Today, I don't know if it's because of the chess game just now, or the person in front of him, the person in front of him who attracted a lot of attention on the first day he arrived at the selection office, and his amazing game of chess, Qi Yingming seems to have regained his original self. The mood when I first started playing chess.If possible, he would also like to play a game of chess with this person himself.

However, it seems that there are many people who have the same idea as Qi Yingming. Before he can speak, another person in the narration has already cupped his hands and said: "Brother Mu, I am Lou Fengzhang of Jizhou, can I ask Brother Mu for advice?"

Mu Yuan looked up and said with a smile, "Of course. But it's late today, brother Lou, would you mind meeting tomorrow?"

Lou Fengzhang hurriedly agreed, as if he was afraid that the other party would change his mind later: "Of course, of course. Then we will make an appointment tomorrow to fight at the alternate place."

"it is good."

When Mu Yuan left the imperial city, he saw Tian Yuan waiting not far away. It seemed that he had been waiting for some time.

Mu Yuan walked over and said gently: "From tomorrow on, Tian Yuan doesn't have to wait here anymore."

"Teacher, but what did Tian Yuan do wrong?"

"Of course not. This place is not far from our residence, so we can go back on our own as a teacher. The weather is getting hotter and there is no shelter here, so Tianyuan doesn't have to work so hard."

"But……"

"No, but." Mu Yuan patted him on the shoulder, "That's it. Tian Yuan has to practice chess well at home, and he will be tested as a teacher later."

"Yes." Tian Yuan responded immediately.

Afterwards, he curiously asked about what he had seen and heard in the waiting office, and Mu Yuan picked and said a few things.

As the two walked and talked, a carriage gradually approached.

Mu Yuan thought he was blocking someone else's way, and was about to step aside when the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a slightly familiar voice came first: "Sir, Mr. Mu, please stay."

As soon as the words were spoken, the curtain of the car was completely lifted, and a figure jumped down, dressed in red, with a light gauze covering the face, and a pair of wonderful eyes looked at it, looking graceful and graceful for no reason.

Mu Yuan was stunned for a moment, took two steps back, slightly arched his hands and said, "Miss Luyi."

Lu Yi slightly bent her knees and blessed: "Sir, Lu Yi is here to wait for Mr., can you please speak further?"

Mu Yuan hesitated, he didn't want to step into Baitiwuxiang again.

Luyi seemed to see his concerns, and smiled lightly, "Let's go to Ninghuafang in front, okay?"

Mu Yuan nodded his head: "Girl, you can go ahead and come later."

"Then Luyi will be waiting for you at the peony pavilion on the second floor of Chenxin Building in Ninghuafang." After speaking, Luyi saluted again and boarded the carriage to leave.

When Mu Yuan arrived, Luyi had already prepared tea, and the freshly brewed tea poured into the cup from the curved beak of the crane. The aroma of the tea and the curling white smoke were refreshing.

"This is the bud tip newly picked this year. There is only Chenshenlou in Beijing. You can taste it."

Mu Yuan has drank much more tea than wine, and he knew it was good tea when he smelled it. He pinched the cup and took a sip, and the tea fragrance slipped from the tip of his nose into his throat, moisturizing him. whole person.

Can't help but praise: "good tea!"

Lu Yi watched Mu Yan drink a whole cup of tea with a smile, then got up and bowed deeply: "Lv Yi thanked you sir for the chess game in Baiyu Tower a few days ago."

Mu Yuan hurriedly stood up and gave some help: "Young lady, you don't have to do this."

Luyi didn't get up: "For Mr., it may be just the outcome of a game of chess; but for Luyi, it is a crucial battle. Mr. is only his own reputation, so that Luyi One game is tantamount to saving Luyi from fire and water. No matter what kind of thanks Luyi deserves."

"The girl also said that to me, this is just the outcome of a game of chess, and it's nothing to worry about."

Luyi stood up gracefully, and insisted: "Luyi also said, for Luyi, this is very important."

Mu Yuan opened his mouth, thought for a while and closed it again.

Luyi sat down after paying a lot of respect.

Luyi: "Please forgive Luyi for coming a few days late for this thank you. After playing a game with Mr. Baiyulou that day, Luyi asked people to find out where Mr. is, but maybe Mr. came to Beijing for a short time. , did not hear any news. Luyi thought, Mr. Fang participated in Yangzhou Lunping, and his chess skills are so good, he must have come to Beijing at this time to wait for the imperial edict. These days, Luyi has been attracting people every day Chen Shi went to the north gate of the Imperial City to have a look around, and finally saw Mr. today."

Mu Yuan: "Girl is interested. This is the first time I have returned to the selection center today."

Lu Yi: "Mr. don't blame me for being abrupt. Actually, I invite you to see me today. Apart from thanking you, Lu Yi has one more thing to ask."

Mu Yuan: "Girl, please tell me."

Luyi didn't say what she was looking for right away, first she drank a cup of tea slowly, and then said slowly: "Luyi was sold into the Baiyu Building since she was a child, and since she can remember, she has seen the girls in the building every day. Welcoming and seeing off, smiling in front of people, and wiping away tears in the back. Fortunately, you may meet a better benefactor, redeem yourself, and take it back. As for what will happen after you take it back, it depends on everyone's fortune. , the best thing is to be a concubine. Unfortunately, when a person is old and weak, if he has no support at all, he may be sold to a prostitute. Many people have told me that with my beauty, as long as I work hard Some of them will definitely be able to find a good home and bring me back. Probably this is the best destination in their eyes."

This passage was spoken very lightly, without any ups and downs in tone, as if to say that the weather is good today.When she raised her eyes again, her eyes were like sparks: "But, I'm not reconciled!"
