After the quarter-finals comes the semi-finals. As the promotion progresses, the level of chess players becomes more and more professional. The time of the game is prolonged. The game is closed at noon and the game is continued in the afternoon. There are also games that are not finished on the first day and continue on the second day. Condition.

Li Yizhi's opponent is a Japanese chess player. Li Yizhi also played against this person in his previous life, so he knows some basic styles, but he hasn't played against him for so many years, and his memory is blurred.

Li Yizhi started the game with black, the first move was the star position, the second move followed by the next corner Xiaomu, and then 3, this is the standard Chinese style opening.

The Chinese stream is characterized by its emphasis on layout, solid ground and external momentum.

The white piece flew on the right. After Li Yizhi's black piece was besieged, he did not jump or fly. Instead, he made a solid point and went diagonally, so that the black piece could get ahead and avoid being destroyed by the white piece.

The Xiaojian method that Li Yizhi chose surprised his opponents, because Li Yizhi's chess style has always been known for being sharp and tough, while Xiaojian is a relatively slow method, which most people would not use.

The white piece chose to rush to the point, which is an indirect blockade method. Although it is not very compact, the white piece followed closely with the pull in the second move, Li Yizhi's black blockade.

In less than [-] moves, both black and white have already started a winding attack. Li Yizhi's steady movement is actually not gentle at all, but white's sharp attack has a gentleman's demeanor.

Although the white piece is a gentleman, it is very aggressive, and it scored from the lower right corner in less than fifty moves. As a result, Li Yizhi seized the opportunity and split the white piece from the middle in time.

The white pieces worked hard to work on the lower part, but lost sight of the other, the upper white part was blocked by Li Yizhi, and when the game was closed at noon, the white part was in a very unfavorable situation, but Li Yizhi played steadily.

There was an hour's break at noon, because the eight players played in two rooms, so Li Yizhi did not see Ye Li, and Chen Jing was in the other group, and the object of the game happened to be the loser in the China-Korea match. Park Hang-hyun, who lost the game but entered the game with a wild card at the same time.

When the game was closed at noon, it was hard to tell from Chen Jing's expression how the battle was going, and Park Hengxuan ignored Li Yizhi. As soon as the noon time came, he immediately left the venue and went to eat.

Chen Jing and Li Yizhi also left the venue together, but they still didn't see Ye Li in front of another meeting room. Li Yizhi thought that Ye Li was picked up by Mo Chongyuan. Ye Li had a lot of private activities these days, so Li Yizhi didn't Without worry, I went to have lunch with Chen Jing.

In order to continue the game in the afternoon, the two of them didn't eat too much. If they ate too much, they would get sleepy and affect their calculation. After eating, there was still half an hour left before Chen Jing and Li Yizhi came to the lounge. When they opened the door, they saw them taking a nap inside. Park Hang Hyun.

The lounge was very quiet. The two of them walked over and found a remote place to sit down. Li Yizhi always had the habit of taking a nap during game breaks. Chen Jing sat down side by side with him. Li Yizhi squinted his eyes to rest, and just fell asleep when he heard Chen Jing's cell phone buzzed.

Chen Jing quickly stood up, patted Li Yizhi's shoulder reassuringly, and then went out to answer the phone by herself.

It was Mo Chongyuan who called. Of course Mo Chongyuan knew that Chen Jing was going to participate in the competition today, so if he called, it must be something urgent.

Chen Jing answered the phone, but Mo Chongyuan didn't speak.

Chen Jing fed twice, thinking that it was broken, at this moment Mo Chongyuan sighed in a tired voice, and said, "Have you seen Ye Li?"

"Ye Li?" Chen Jing subconsciously glanced at the direction of the lounge, lowered her voice, walked to the side of the safe passage, and continued: "I didn't see him, didn't he be picked up by you?"

Mo Chongyuan's voice froze for a moment, "No... I... haven't seen him since last night."

Chen Jing thought, "Ye Li didn't come to the game?"

Mo Chongyuan said: "I don't know, I'm worried about him."

"Call him and ask."

"His mobile phone is with me, and I can't contact him."

At this time, Chen Jing could already hear that something was wrong, and said, "You guys quarreled? He's going to compete today, and you're still quarreling with him?"

Mo Chongyuan seemed to sigh again, "No, there was no quarrel..."

"Mo Chongyuan."

Chen Jing called him by name, "What happened to Ye Li?"

"It's hard to say, but if you see him, give me a call, and I'll feel at ease."

"I think you are quite at ease now."

Chen Jing laughed and said: "If the prince of the Mo family wants to find one, even if he doesn't have a mobile phone, he may not be able to find it. It's getting closer now. From last night to now, you can't find him. ?”

Mo Chongyuan didn't speak any more, and suddenly hung up the phone, which made Chen Jing feel that things were a little messed up. The usual Mo Chongyuan always looked at ease, he didn't worry about anything, and he was in control of everything. He had never been so tired.

Chen Jing looked at the mobile phone, and after more than ten seconds, he put the mobile phone into his pocket, and then opened the door of the lounge. Li Yizhi fell asleep and leaned his head on the sofa.

Chen Jing walked over and sat down next to him again. Li Yizhi seemed to feel the movement, shook his head slightly, and leaned on Chen Jing's shoulder.

Chen Jing's hands were in his pockets, and his fingertips touched the phone. He didn't know if he should tell Li Yizhi about Ye Li now. Ye Li obviously didn't come to the competition.

Although he didn't know what happened, he could also imagine that Mo Chongyuan's appearance seemed to indicate that the conversation between him and Ye Li had collapsed.

In fact, Chen Jing knew a long time ago that Mo Chongyuan and Ye Li would definitely come to an end one day, because Mo Chongyuan suffered a lot when he was young, and he valued his family more than anything else.Mo Chongyuan liked Ye Li, and would spend money to support him for Ye Li, but he cared more about his family.

Chen Jing guessed half right, but he never thought about it. In fact, Ye Li's surname is also Mo, but Mo Chongyuan's half-brother...

Chen Jing thought for a long time, but in the end he didn't dare to tell Li Yizhi. He knew that Master was an emotional person. If he told Li Yizhi, he wouldn't have to participate in the afternoon competition.

At 10 minutes to one, Chen Jing woke up Li Yizhi. Li Yizhi looked at him and said with a smile, "Why are you sleepier than not sleeping?"

Chen Jing replied vaguely, "The game will end in a while, come out and wait here after the game, let's go together."

"Okay, I'm kind of tricky here."

Chen Jing nodded, and Li Yizhi suddenly leaned over and whispered in his ear, "Good apprentice, pull out the carrot for me!"

After speaking, Li Yizhi stood up, smiled at him again, straightened his suit, stepped out of the lounge, and headed for the venue.

Chen Jing sat for another half a minute, and reached out to touch her ears, which seemed to be still warm. Li Yizhi had just fallen asleep, and his body was a little hot, and his breath was warm when he spoke.

After the game started in the afternoon, Ye Li from another venue still did not come. While everyone was still concentrating on the game, the referee had already sentenced Ye Li to abstain. Last time he did not advance to the quarterfinals due to a mistake, but now he has entered the quarterfinals. But because of his absence, he was easily eliminated from the top four by his opponents.

Of course Li Yizhi didn't know about this, and he was still concentrating on the game.

After the start of the game in the afternoon, White clashed left and right. It looked like the opponent had been thinking carefully all afternoon. His style of chess was very fierce. With a few tesuji, he would work on a piece surrounded by black pieces, but he also paid a heavy price and lost countless pieces. Bai Zi.

After Bai Zi successfully ruled the orphan, the situation between the two sides began to become complicated again. When Li Yizhi's Hei Zi wanted to rely on him, Bai Zi took the lead in taking the middle ground.

Li Yizhi crossed the central server and focused on the upper part. The black chess piece on the upper part and the white chess piece in the middle server meet, and a dispute broke out naturally. Obviously, neither side wants to give in this time. If they retreat, they will be caught by the opponent. Taking the initiative, they fell into a stalemate again for a while.

Chen Jing's side is completely different situation, Park Hengxuan plays black, Chen Jing plays white, Chen Jing's style of chess is the same as before, four-way split, both sides are fighting for finalization in the upper left corner, white occupies the field, and the wind is blowing all the way The heavy rain bombarded Park Hengxuan.

Park Hengxuan's black chess entered the white chess formation all the way, trying to make a living. Just when he was about to succeed in curing the orphan, the black chess dragon was suddenly attacked sharply by Chen Jing.

Park Hengxuan struggled for a long time between doing work or protecting the dragon. In order not to lose the big, the black chess forcibly disconnected the white chess from the middle, and Chen Jing faced the danger of being alone from both sides for a while.

The black chess was considered a success at this time, but Park Hengxuan's file was obviously not as sharp as Chen Jing's. It's just that when it reached the 140th move, the white dragon was safe and sound.

The longer the time dragged on, the black's own big dragon was in danger. After Chen Jing was overturned, Bai Zi suddenly jumped and quickly launched a counterattack. After successfully curing the orphan, he slaughtered Park Hengxuan's big dragon in one fell swoop.

After the most soul-stirring moment, the chess game came to an abrupt end, and the winner was already divided.

When Chen Jing finished playing, Li Yizhi was still in a stalemate.

After Li Yizhi's black chess was stalemate with the opponent, he was a little tired, and his speed of moving chess dropped significantly.

Black's big dragon turned its head slowly, and the opponent's white piece had been concentrating on partitioning, and didn't pay attention for a while. After Li Yizhi's Tesuji, the black piece intersected with the lowered black piece, and the two dead dragons took over, which turned the situation a little bit.

Although Baizi didn't have a tesuji, he changed his strategy and held on steadily, protecting his midsection tightly, as if trying to delay until the end of the game.

Entering the closing stage, black and white began to fight for every inch of land, and both sides began to work hard to occupy the land. Li Yizhi's finale was delicate, which had a lot of advantages.

At the end of the round, the referee counted the balls. Compared with Chen Jing's thrilling game, this game seemed more worrisome. After the number, Li Yizhi won for half an eye.

Chen Jing waited for Li Yizhi in the lounge for a while, and when Li Yizhi came in, he heard that Chen Jing had won, and the win was very beautiful.

There are also chess players replaying and watching the game in the lounge. Although the discussion is very quiet, they can also be heard discussing Chen Jing or Li Yizhi's chess game.

Chen Jing himself had his eyes closed, as if he had fallen asleep, but when Li Yizhi pushed the door in, Chen Jing opened his eyes.

Li Yizhi smiled and said, "I pulled out the carrot in the middle, congratulations."

"Congratulations to master for entering the semifinals."

Li Yizhi said: "Every time I defeat a strong opponent, I am very excited. When Ye Li comes out, let's go eat something together."

Hearing what he said, Chen Jing paused for a moment, and Li Yizhi said, "Do you have something to do later?"

Chen Jing shook his head. Anyway, the game is over, so there is no need to hide it from him, and said: "Ye Li didn't come to the game today, and the referee has already declared him to forfeit."

"what?"

Li Yizhi couldn't believe it at first. Ye Li put in a lot of effort for this rookie championship, and came to him every day to play chess or review the game. The two often discussed until late at night, and then went to catch up on sleep.

Looking at his expression, Chen Jing knew that Ye Li had a good relationship with him. Li Yizhi was worried about him and said, "I called someone to find Ye Li just now. Let's go back to the hotel first. Ye Li may have already gone back."

Ye Li answered the phone last night, because Kong Jing's voice was loud, so Mo Chongyuan could hear it clearly.

Mo Chongyuan never thought that he had an elder brother, and he was also Ye Li.

Mo Chongyuan's father was the kind who inserted the door backwards, and his mother was the daughter of the Chen family. If there was no mother, his father's Mo family would still be in dire straits.

He knew the unwritten rules in the circle of the rich. His father was very kind to his mother, but the two sides played their own way. On the surface, affection was enough.

Mo Chongyuan's father came out to inherit the family business in his early years. At that time, he met Kong Jing in his own factory. Kong Jing was beautiful and had a gentle personality. Except for her poor family, everything was fine. .

Kong Jing was pregnant before marriage, she was very scared at the beginning, but later she thought it would be nice to have a child with that man, and it was a boy, so the man was very happy, but what she didn't expect was that when she gave birth to the child, However, Mo Chongyuan's father was found by the family, because the family was in decline, and finally climbed into the rich and noble family, and asked Mo Chongyuan's father to marry him.

Therefore, the rich and noble families must match each other in the end. Kong Jing was alone with the child, not only suddenly lost contact with the man, but also was found out about the unmarried pregnancy, and lost her job as a result.

Because the communication in that era was also quite difficult, Kong Jing knew that when the other party got married, more than half a year had passed, and the daughter of the Chen family had become the wife of the Mo family.

Before Mo Chongyuan grew up, his parents passed away. Because Mr. Chen loved his grandson, he brought him here to raise him. Mo Chongyuan struggled with the hypocrisy and treachery of his relatives, and there was no childhood worth remembering.

He never questioned whether his parents had feelings, how many women his father had raised, and how many men his mother had had scandals with. He didn't want to inquire about it, nor did he want to inquire about it.

Although Mo Chongyuan looks like a gentleman, his personality is rather gloomy. At first he was defiant, as can be seen from the game of chess with Li Yizhi. The young Mo Chongyuan was not only gloomy, but also arrogant.

Later, when he got older, Mo Chongyuan also matured a lot. He would hide his unhappiness and happiness in his heart. After seeing Ye Li, everything changed.

In the beginning, he was infected by Ye Li's carefree personality, which he couldn't do. Later, Mo Chongyuan discovered that Ye Li's family background was not good, but his heart was actually very fragile. Like himself, they had the same wounds.

It's just that Mo Chongyuan's wound was surrounded by calmness and stability, while Ye Li's wound was surrounded by enthusiasm and cheerfulness.

At that time, Mo Chongyuan thought that maybe he could use his rights, status, and money to protect Ye Li.

He often thinks about what he will hurt Ye Li for in the future. It is inevitable. Their status and identities are not equal at all. Ye Li seems to understand this and looks very openly.

It's just that Mo Chongyuan never expected that he didn't take the initiative to hurt Ye Li, but this hard-working relationship suddenly collapsed.

Ye Li looks like his mother, delicate, clean and beautiful, Mo Chongyuan didn't realize that he is his brother.
