Rebirth of the Great Power

There were more people coming and going in Tiaoliuzi Lane, so Ji Jin went in and out less.Mu Yuan hasn't seen Ji Jin for several days since the last time they walked through the snow and looked for plums together.It would be a lie to say that I don't miss it, Mu Yuanfang clarified his mind, every time he thinks of that person, he is different from before, the behavior that was normal in the past, now thinks about it with a touch of charm and tenderness, although in the end it is just a memory filter.

Missing is rampant, but Mu Yuan is very calm.He is very clear about what is the most important thing now, and he also understands why there are more people coming and going in Tiaoliuzi Lane, so Ji Jin goes in and out less.Naturally, Ji Jin was never afraid that Mu Yuan would take advantage of his power, but he was afraid that his power would be too heavy and bend his back.In the final analysis, Mu Yuan is still not enough weight now.

Mu Yuan has always been a firm person, he never flinched from the people and things that are inevitable, but only planned step by step.For Go, he can win game after game until he stands at the top of this era and has more right to speak.He is very patient and good at seizing every opportunity, such as Yangzhou Lunping, such as facing Fusang Envoy, such as this event.In terms of emotions, although he has never had any experience, since he has identified a person, he must think of a long-term solution, not a temporary pleasure.One day, he will be able to join hands with Ji Jin in an upright manner.At the same time, he wants to achieve the ultimate that he can do, the chief chess player is just the beginning, and he is bound to win.

The third round of the competition started, and there were only four groups of eight players left. Ting Yulou moved the arena to the private seats on the second floor, leaving the entire first floor for guests who watched chess and drank tea.Only the business in the teahouse during the game break has doubled compared to the same period in the past, not to mention that the first floor can also be vacated for business during the game.Tingyulou has already recovered the cost of this marketing, and no matter how large the amount of money is given to the household department, it only needs to be paid once. After the reputation is established, the passenger flow will continue.

Not only does it provide the arena, but the other benefits are only a lot more.The chess match was just over halfway, and Su's firm had already become the undoubted winner of the match.When other commercial firms saw Su's profits and wanted to follow suit, they had already lost the opportunity, and the gains were naturally not as good as others.

Su Yuzhi was very grateful for Miss Luyi's idea, and even more admired her business vision and means.In addition to gratitude and admiration, it is inevitable to give birth to a bit of admiration.Su Yuzhi knew very well that although Luyi was in the mud, she came out of the mud without being stained.In a sensual place like Baiyulou, she tried her best to preserve her innocence.It is rare to have such an ambition, and what is even more rare is that she has actually achieved it, and she has done it quite brilliantly.How can such a strange woman not be pitied and admired by others.

Su Yuzhi couldn't hold back his fists, and had implicitly expressed his willingness to redeem Luyi's body, but unexpectedly, Luyi refused calmly.Su Yuzhi didn't deny that he wanted to redeem Miss Luyi's life because he had selfish motives, but if Miss Luyi didn't want to, he would never threaten her with it.Even so, Miss Luyi still refused.

Su Yu really wondered, Miss Luyi clearly wanted to get out of the tiger's mouth a long time ago, otherwise she would not have been so exhausted.Now someone is willing to help her, even without asking her for anything in return, why she refuses to accept it?

Su Yu couldn't figure it out, so he asked Mu Yuan one day when there were only two of them.

Mu Yuan thought for a while and said: "She probably just doesn't want to be attached to anyone. Although brother Su's move is only out of goodwill, without any intention of exchange, it's just that for Miss Luyi, this is a kind of mutual affection after all. Owe. It is Brother Su's business that Brother Su has nothing to ask for, but she has to remember it. With Miss Luyi's intelligence and talent, if she is willing, it is not difficult to find a benefactor to redeem her. , but she chose the most difficult path. Maybe she just wants to try, not to depend on anyone, to decide her own life."

Su Yuzhi was thoughtful: "Am I taking it for granted?"

Mu Yuan smiled: "Miss Luyi is different from others, and her thoughts should not be judged by ordinary people. If Brother Su really wants to help, you might as well discuss marketing matters with Miss Luyi. She is quite talented in this matter, although Sometimes it is unavoidable to be unconstrained, but it is still more than enough to be inspired by Brother Su. If it is really useful at that time, I will pay more."

Su Yuzhi nodded: "What Brother Mu said is true."

Su Yuzhi observed Mu Yuan for a long time, and seeing that he really didn't notice anything, he finally couldn't help asking: "Brother Mu, what do you think of Miss Luyi?"

Mu Yuan did not doubt that he was there, and responded very naturally: "Although Miss Luyi came from a humble background, she has more self-esteem and self-love than ordinary people. She knows what she wants and sticks to it. She has a tough temperament, no lack of courage, and talent. A rare woman."

Su Yuzhi smiled wryly: "Brother Mu admires Miss Luyi so much, don't you have any other thoughts?"

Mu Yuan was taken aback for a moment, seeing that there seemed to be some sadness and reluctance in his expression, he suddenly said: "Brother Su, don't misunderstand, the relationship between Miss Luyi and me is open and honest, and there is absolutely no personal relationship. Brother Su If you are interested in Miss Luyi, you might as well take the initiative, but don’t treat her like an ordinary fireworks girl, or even a weak woman, but should respect her and treat her as an equal. Miss Luyi is not a heartless person , On the contrary, she is extremely affectionate, if she can fall in love with you, she will be ten times and a hundred times better than ordinary people."

Su Yuzhi saw that Mu Yuan didn't tease him at all, but was sincere and frank, and his heart became more and more bitter: It turned out that Brother Mu really didn't know that Miss Luyi had already had a deep-rooted affection for him.It turns out that he understands and respects her so much, no wonder she treats him...

However, Su Yuzhi didn't want to point out all this to Mu Yuan, he also had his own selfish intentions.If brother Mu still can't understand, and Miss Luyi's affection has never been responded to, will he still have a chance?

Su Yuzhi picked up the chess piece in his hand, and changed the subject on his own initiative: "Tomorrow is the beginning of the third round of the competition. What's your plan for Fan Guoqian, Brother Mu?"

Mu Yuan was puzzled: "What do you mean by Brother Su's words?"

Su Yuzhi twirled the chess piece between his fingers, and reminded: "Brother Mu must have seen Fan Guoqian's chess records, do you think his style of chess is somewhat familiar?"

Mu Yuan nodded: "There is indeed a sense of deja vu."

Su Yuzhi said: "Brother Mu, do you still remember Brother Fan Yanxian who was in Yangzhou when he was discussing Pingping?"

Mu Yuan came to a sudden: "So, Fan Guoqian's chess style is indeed somewhat similar to that of Brother Fan."

Su Yuzhi nodded: "Brother Mu and Brother Fan only played against each other once, so it's normal if you didn't think about it for a while. Brother Fan and I have been old opponents for many years, so I am naturally very familiar with his style of chess. Fan Guoqian and Fan Yan First of all, they are from the same family, and they should learn from the same teacher when they were young. It is not surprising that their chess styles are close. They all follow the fierce way, and they are very good at mid-table battles."

Speaking of this, Su Yuzhi changed the subject: "I remember that when Brother Mu defeated Brother Fan, he used the word 'qiao'. It was also that game that made everyone see Brother Mu's chess strength. But, Compared to Brother Fan Yan, Fan Guoqian is obviously more skilled than him. He has been a recognized master for several years in the imperial edict. I remember that Brother Mu is also quite good in hand-to-hand combat, but he rarely uses it in actual combat. Is it just because so far, no one has been able to force Brother Mu's full strength?"

Mu Yuan smiled: "Brother Su's words are wrong. No matter how good the chess is, you should go all out in every game. The reason why I seldom respond to the battle directly in the chess game is because I think that the beauty of Go can There are many forms. Today's chess players are more and more good at fighting, and they are also good at fighting, especially among top chess players. This makes people who are good at chess follow them. From now on, I am afraid that everyone will think that only by fighting hard can they win , Only good at fighting can become a first-class master. I probably just want to try and win chess in different ways, maybe it can give those chess players who are not good at fighting at first a little confidence and walk out their own way to victory .”

"So that's how it is." Su Yuzhi laughed at himself, "I thought Brother Mu was just keeping a low profile, hiding his strength from an opponent who is capable of handling it, and waiting until the most important moment to strike again."

Mu Yuan laughed: "Weiqi cares about winning or losing, but it doesn't just care about winning or losing for a while. I still have a lot of chess to play in my life, and good opponents are really rare, so it should be more than one game. I hide my strength and wait for a blow Maybe it's because you don't have enough confidence. If you lose confidence in chess, it is worse than facing an opponent who is not as good as chess."

Su Yuzhi was so enlightened, he was taken aback, he suddenly remembered the method he used to face Huan Zhanxuan when he was discussing the balance in Yangzhou.

Mu Yuan looked at him with a smile, Su Yuzhi suddenly understood, and said shyly, "Brother Mu, did you see it? When Yangzhou Lunping met Brother Huan in advance, I deliberately lost that round."

Mu Yuan smiled: "The game at that time was indeed inconsistent with Brother Su's usual style of chess. Brother Su is not a person who can use his own strengths to attack his opponent's strengths."

Su Yuzhi sighed: "I thought I was doing the right calculation, but I didn't know that man's calculation is not as good as heaven's calculation. Later, I didn't even have the chance to fight Brother Huan again. If I can't fight Brother Huan with all my strength, I'm afraid I will regret it for the rest of my life. After listening to Brother Mu's words now, I just realized that my thoughts at that time were too arrogant. It turned out that I was already timid before fighting. I'm afraid that even if I had a decisive battle with Brother Huan as I wished, the result may not be as I hoped willing."

Mu Yuan comforted: "Life is still long, and the chess game is far from over."

Su Yuzhi got up and made a long bow to express his gratitude.

Afterwards, Su Yuzhi smiled and said: "Speaking of which, the Fan family can be said to have produced a large number of talents in Yilin, Daqi. Not to mention the current Fan Guoqian, when the former emperor was still there, there was also a Fan surnamed who was waiting for the imperial edict. He was deeply loved by the first emperor, and he was almost about to become the chief. Who knew that somehow, he got involved in party disputes. The first emperor was furious and relegated him, and he never heard of it again. Thinking of it, he regretted it, That Fan Daizhao had a strange style of chess, and often had astonishing moves, and everyone rushed to imitate it. At that time, Yi Lin had the taste of a hundred flowers blooming like Brother Mu said, instead of blindly advocating fighting with strength like now. If that If Fan Daizhao is still there, he must be very compatible with Brother Mu. No," Su Yuzhi thought about it carefully, "If that Fan Daizhao is still there, he may be older and his chess skills must not be as strong as before. It's a pity, I don't know if there will be descendants."

Hearing this, Mu Yuan couldn't help but think of the friend who hit it off right away, wondering where he is now, is everything all right? !I remember that when the capital was mentioned and the Qi Daizhao was mentioned, he looked indignant. Could it be related to this Fan Daizhao?
