[Tomb Raiders Notes] The date has not been changed

In old Changsha, when it comes to chess skills, Xie Jiuye is the number one. He is famous for playing chess well, and what makes him famous even more is his "fighting chess".

At that time, a chess master came from Guangzhou. Legend has it that one can be eight, and the eight killed lose their helmets and armor. Later, Xie Jiuye went out to play against the chess master. Playing all kinds of games, but still not dying, the chess master racked his brains. In the end, the chess master defeated Master Jiu, but lost the other seven games.

Afterwards, Xie Jiuye said that the number of moves in his game of chess was called "Chess of Courtiers", which is the chess played by courtiers and kings in ancient times. They could neither win nor lose too quickly. This is also a skill.

After the war, Master Xie Jiu became famous. As the leader of Xie's family, he acted meticulously and meticulously. As soon as the story of "eight games of chess" came out, it immediately added a bit of legend to him.

Of course, later it was said that the game of courtier's chess was actually played by seven people, and Xie Jiuye's chess skills were far from enough to control the entanglement between "chenziqi" and chess masters, but these are legends.

"Jiuye's eight games of chess, I've heard of it." The fat man said, "It's just a technical job, are you sure you can play well?"

"I'm sure I can't play eight games of chess." I said, "But I only need three games of you three."

"I'm a bad chess player, the kind who can't even win a simple computer game." The fat man yelled, and looked at Poker Bottle as if asking for help, "Brother, can you play chess?"

"A little bit." Poker Bottle said.

Of course, I didn't intend to play "Chess Chess" with Huo Chi. First of all, I'm also very bad at chess. I played a little with my second uncle when I was young, but I basically never played chess when I grew up. One is in the sky and the other is in the ground. Secondly, Fatty's chess is even worse. As for the little brother, I don't expect much from him in this regard.

Xie Jiuye was famous for his chess back then, but what he was really praised for was his scheming and game-setting ability.

What I need is not this game of chess, but a game that can make Huo Chi completely collapse.

"We're going to buy four chess sets and a tube of tea tomorrow." I said, "You guys are responsible for cooperating with me, and I'm responsible for defeating him."

In the early morning of the next day, we went out early and went to the market to buy four sets of chess, a tube of green tea, and three jackets to wear. Without much delay, we drove to the suburbs again.

"Does your trick really work?" Fatty held three sets of chess and tea, looked at his cuffs, and looked very skeptical, "I always feel a little unreliable."

"Anyway, you have no other choice, just try mine." I said.

We parked the car at the foot of the mountain and walked along the old road. This time, because we knew Huo Chi's location, we didn't delay any time, and we quickly arrived outside the yard.

The courtyard door was closed tightly, and I pushed it but did not open it.

"Let's climb over the wall." The fat man said, "The wall is not high."

"No." I said, "Just knock on the door."

The fat man glanced at me. I knew he thought that if we climbed over the wall and Huo Chi was unprepared, our chances of winning would be better. But this time we are fighting psychologically, and we can't think about it in the same way as we usually fight.

"Put the chess pieces away." I said to the fat man.

The fat man responded, and put all the chess box and tea in the bag. I went up to knock on the door a few times, and the sound was very loud.

After knocking on the door, I waited for 2 minutes, but there was still no response.

"Isn't there no one here?" Fatty said, "It would be a disaster if he shifted his position."

"Probably not. In that case, Xiaohua will somehow notify me." I said, and knocked on the door again.

About 2 minutes later, I heard footsteps in the yard. Poker-Face moved a little and stood in a position that could just protect me. The footsteps in the yard stopped in front of the gate. There was silence, as if confronting me.

I went up and knocked on the door a third time.

After another minute, the courtyard door opened. Huo Chi stood at the door and smiled at us: "Little San Ye, good morning."

He wasn't surprised to see us at all, which is normal. He must have seen who was at the door when he knocked on the door three times just now, and now he opened the door, probably because he was ready for us to make trouble.

"Good morning," I said.

Huo Chi stood at the door, smiling, but he didn't mean to let us in: "What's the matter?"

"I have nothing to do, just take a look." I said, "By the way, I would like to ask you for help."

"If it's something related to Master Hua and Master Hei, I'm sorry." Huo Chi smiled, "That's a private matter between the three of us."

"It has nothing to do with this matter." I replied flatly, "It's best to see Master Hua, and it doesn't matter if you don't see me."

"Oh?" Huo Chi raised his eyebrows slightly, looking a little surprised, "Then what's the matter?"

"Come in and talk," I said.

Huo Chi didn't answer me right away, it was obvious that he was hesitant, and he certainly wouldn't be so stupid as to think that I really had nothing to do with Xiao Hua when I came to look for him.

However, probably out of fear, Huo Chi quickly turned to the three of us to make way: "Please come in."

I went straight to the hall in the inner courtyard, and Huo Chi followed me. The hall was empty, and I looked at the decoration in this hall as if nothing had happened.

"Little Sanye." Huo Chi walked to my side, "You said you wanted to enter the house, and I let you in too. Now can you tell me what you want to do this time?"

"I want to play chess with you." I said.

"Play chess?" Huo Chi was taken aback for a moment.

"Chess." I said.

At that moment, I was sure that Huo Chi's expression was slightly stiff, Xie Jiuye was good at playing chess, especially when he was old. In the game, there will still be a chessboard. I believe that for Huo Chi, it is an extremely deep childhood memory.

But then Huo Chi smiled again: "You want to play chess with me?"

"That's right." I said, "Do you dare to play with me?"

"Please." Huo Chi pulled out a chair and motioned for me to sit down, "It's just that if you want to play chess with me, I'm afraid you will be disappointed. The only entertainment I have had since childhood, Just playing chess."
