Rebirth of the Great Power

"Why do I have to accept this fate?" She seems to be asking God, but also asking herself, "I am not willing! I practiced hard and finally became the best dancer in the building. But no matter how good the dance is So what? It’s just a little bit of weight when evaluating the price. I thought about it for a long time, and then I started to study chess. I want to play chess better than those men. Maybe I will have a chance to master it. My own destiny. For the past three years, I seem to be doing pretty well."

She laughed, with a dismal look: "I know this is a road full of thorns, and if you are not careful, you may be smashed to pieces. Falling from a high place is a more terrifying thing than being on a flat ground! But I have no choice .If I don’t give it a shot, I don’t even have a chance.”

She paused for a while, as if trying to calm down her emotions, and then continued: "Lvyi has never mentioned these words to anyone, but for some reason, in front of Mr. Luyi, she always feels that there are endless words. When I played against my husband that day, Luyi felt an unprecedented fear. Luyi knew that I could not win this game. All the consequences that I had imagined came to my mind at that moment. But I don’t know why , At that moment, I actually calmed down. The next half of the game was my best state in recent years. Thinking about it later, it was probably the influence of Mr. on me at that time. Since Mr. gave me a I can't live up to this opportunity. It's just that Luyi knows that her chess skills are limited. Over the years, she has exhausted her energy and tried her best. It may be difficult to continue. Now only sir can help me. Luyi wants to ask Mr. , instruct Luyi in chess."

Mu Yuan had been listening silently, and at this moment met Luyi's pleading eyes, and finally nodded: "Okay."

Luyi couldn't believe that he agreed so easily, and couldn't help emphasizing: "Mr. agreed to teach Luyi chess?!"

Mu Yuan: "I don't dare to be a teacher. The girl's chess skills are already very good. If you have any doubts, you can discuss them together."

There was a smile on Luyi's face, and soon he hesitated: "But, after all, Luyi was born in a dusty family. Now that you have just entered the imperial edict, you will be in the sky in the future. If you have a close relationship with a courteous woman, you are right. Mister's reputation may be hindered."

Mu Yuan calmly said: "Girl, you don't have to speak out so provocatively. Since I have promised you, I will never go back on it. I promise you, not because of what you just said, but because I know that a woman should treat her with dignity. Survival is more difficult than that of a man. The tenacity of the girl's heart is admirable. My residence is in Tiaoliuzi Lane, and there is a big apricot tree at the door. I should go to the alternative place every day, roughly Go back to your residence around Shen Shi. You can come here when it is convenient for you, Miss."

Lu Yi stopped talking, got up and was deeply blessed again: "Thank you, sir."

Mu Yuan slowed down his tone: "Then today, girls are going to play another round?"

Luyi shook her head, and said with a soft smile: "It happened so suddenly today, I'm afraid I'm too nagging sir. Tomorrow Luyi will come to ask for advice, and I want to finish the uncompetitive game with my husband last time."

Mu Yuan: "Okay."

When I arrived at the selection office on the second day, all twelve candidates were present, which is very rare in the selection office.

Mu Yuan beat Lou Fengzhang without any surprise, and then seriously replayed the game again.

In the next few days, every day, a different person played against Mu Yuan, and for the first time ever, all members of the backup office attended for more than ten consecutive days.This strange appearance naturally alarmed Chu Zizhou, who had always been paying attention to the movement of the candidate.

When Chu Zizhou stepped into the selection office, it was very lively inside, and even Sun Maofu, who had always been lazy, seemed much more energetic.

More than a dozen chess players gathered together to discuss chess enthusiastically. The young man among them had a handsome face and a calm demeanor, which made it easy for people to like him when they saw it.

This is the new Mu Yunzhi, Chu Zizhou thought to himself.After that day, Qi Yingming sent a copy of the game record between Mu Yunzhi and Lu Zijun as promised. Chu Zizhou and He Pingshan studied it for half a day, and finally had to admit that the level of this game alone was higher than that of the two players. Own.A sense of crisis arose spontaneously, and in the next few days, Chu Zizhou worked harder to improve his chess skills, and even bit the bullet and asked Cheng Shiyuan for advice in two games, but with little success, and even became more powerless.

Chu Zizhou knew very well that it was his own heart that was uncertain.

Today, he finally couldn't help but come to the alternative place to find out, but it is very different from the time he stayed here.Has the alternative ever been so lively?

With sharp eyes, Qi Yingming was the first to see Chu Zizhou, raised his voice and laughed, "Brother Zizhou, why, are you also here to invite Brother Mu to fight?"

Chu Zizhou was taken aback for a moment, and followed the trend: "Uh, is it okay?"

Qi Yingming seemed to be much more lively than before: "It's better to come early than to come at a good time. We have all experienced Brother Mu's chess skills, so let's let Brother Zizhou today. Do you agree?"

Everyone laughed and shouted hello, Qi Yingming said to Mu Yuan again: "Brother Mu, this is the main candidate who was promoted from our alternate selection this year, Chu Zizhou."

Chu Zizhou clasped his hands and said, "This is brother Mu, I've heard him for a long time."

Mu Yuan immediately stood up and replied, "I dare not do it. Brother Chu, please."

Chu Zizhou's chess strength is not much worse than Lu Zijun's. If the two really compete, the outcome is still unknown.It's a pity that Chu Zizhou's mind has been disturbed recently, and he has lost his standard. Although he tried his best to support him, it was still difficult to save the defeat.

After a game of chess, Chu Zizhou's clothes were drenched in sweat.If Cheng Shiyuan's chess made him feel scared, Mu Yunzhi's chess made him feel powerless, no matter how hard he struggled, he could only fall deeper and deeper into the opponent's net.

The chess game ended, and the room fell silent for a moment.The few people who were already acquainted with Chu Zizhou couldn't help but look at each other. They could all see that Chu Zizhou's chess game was very bad, far from his usual level.Lu Zijun, who didn't know Chu Zizhou well, just felt that if this was the case, the chess player who was selected was not worthy of his position.

Mu Yuan put down the chess piece lightly, pondered for a while, and said slowly: "Before entering Beijing, my father once told me in private that if you enter the selection center, instead of thinking about how to become the main candidate or keep the position of the main candidate, it's better to be careful." Think about the direction of your own chess, what kind of chess suits you, and how can you play for a long time. What does Brother Chu think?"

One sentence was like enlightenment, and Chu Zizhou broke out in cold sweat. Thinking that he had become the right choice, he was stumbled by this position, and he seemed to have fallen into a magic barrier. It was really putting the cart before the horse.

After communicating with each other, Chu Zizhou couldn't help cheering up, stood up and said respectfully: "Brother Mu, brother Yu wants to ask for another round of advice."

Mu Yuan smiled: "Yes. But it's not today, how about we fight again tomorrow?"

Chu Zizhou understands that this is to give himself time to adjust his state, so naturally there is nothing wrong with it.

After giving up his position, Chu Zizhou was hesitating whether to go or stay. Qi Yingming patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "We are about to resume the chess game of the previous two days. Brother Zizhou, do you want to stay together?"

Chu Zizhou immediately said hello, and was very grateful in his heart, brother Ying Ming was still so enthusiastic.

The next day Chu Zizhou and Mu Yuan had another round of hand-to-hand talks. Although he still lost in the end, the situation was much more exciting. Compared with when he first left the backup office, his chess skills have improved greatly, which also made Lu Zijun look at him with admiration and understood. He must have been out of shape yesterday.

Afterwards, Chu Zizhou also began to spend his days in the selection office, but he only went to the main selection office sooner or later to show that he was not absent.As for the imperial edict, at least it has not been his turn so far.

After such a few days, even He Pingshan became curious, and from then on, there was another regular visitor to the alternative office.

During this period of time, for Yu Muyuan, he was like a fish in water, with endless chess games and endless discussions every day.More importantly, the chess players in the reserve, even if they are not as good as the main candidates, are still the top chess players in the country. In their era, they are at least at the level of professional masters.In addition to the candidates, Miss Luyi will also come to ask for advice every three days.Compared with the candidates, her chess skills are even higher. If she has the opportunity to participate in the Women's World Go Tournament, it is not impossible to win a grand slam.

A high-level game is conducive to maintaining a good competitive state, which is what Mu Yuan has always been looking forward to.

In the evening of that day, just before Miss Luyi left, a distinguished guest was welcomed into the residence.

It is said that he is a distinguished guest because of his noble status. In fact, Ji Jin is almost equivalent to half of the owner here.

Seeing Ji Jin, Mu Yuan was very happy.For more than a month, one of them was busy playing chess and the other was busy with political affairs. There were only a handful of opportunities to meet each other. Most of the time, they just glanced at them from a distance when the Chenshi Chengtian Gate was open.Among the many acquaintances, Mu Yuan still likes to play chess with Ji Jin the most. Although his chess skills may not be the best, but the state of playing chess with him is the most comfortable.What's more, only in front of Ji Jin, Mu Yuan can be the most complete and relaxed self.Only he knows all his secrets.

There is also a letter from home with Ji Jin.

Ji Jin handed the letter from home to Mu Yuan: "This is from the post office. The messenger was looking around for your address, and Mo Yan happened to meet him, so he picked it up, and told them to deliver the letter if there is any news in the future." to here."

Mu Yuan took the letter and opened it directly in front of Ji Jin, without any hesitation in covering it up.

Ji Jin watched silently, as if eating a cold melon in a well in summer, it was so refreshing and sweet.

Mu Yuan opened the letter and said, "On the second day after arriving in Beijing, I asked someone to send a letter back. This letter was probably sent by my father before he received the letter. He didn't know where I was. Fortunately, I didn't I missed it, thank you Mo Yan."

Mu Yuan smiled and looked at Mo Yan: "When it's Mo Yan's birthday, I will definitely prepare a big gift, so thank you very much."

Mo Yan grinned: "The young one will thank Master Mu for the reward first. When the young one invites Master Mu to drink, Master Mu will definitely reward him."

Mu Yuan smiled and said, "That's natural. I will definitely drink Mo Yan's birthday wine, it's a good omen."
