Chapter 495 Selected
As soon as he said these words, Qi Wu Di's expression immediately changed and he looked at Liang Yan carefully from head to toe.
"Hey, it seems that the old saying is true. The so-called hero comes from a young age. I, Qi Wu Di, have not been born for a long time, but I did not expect that there would be a rising star like you in the world. The smelly monk, the 'sword-backing man', 'Yu Banxian', Chief Director of the Tianxun Department, which of these four is your master?"
Qi Wudi obviously regarded Liang Yan as the secret disciple of a certain martial arts master, and his attitude could not help but change a lot. .
Liang Yan laughed, cupped his hands and said, "I don't need to worry about this. As the saying goes, first come, first served. If I come one step earlier than you, I should be the one to make the first move."
After he finished speaking, he was about to reach out to hold the sunspot, but Qi Wudi hurriedly stopped his hand and said with a smile: "No, little brother, haven't you heard that elders are respected? Qi is twenty years older than you." Years old, this first move should be given to Qi."
"You said it was too long," Liang Yan said with a half-smile, "More than twenty years have just passed by. where did it come from Qualification to go first."
The palace maid next to me felt quite embarrassed when she saw the old and the young fighting each other on the chessboard, and quickly stepped forward and said, "You two don't have to argue, just guess."< br>
“That’s right!”
Qi Wu Di nodded slightly, reached out and dug out a handful of white stones in the chess jar, and said with a smile: “Little friend Tang, please guess.”
Liang Yan glanced at him and saw a slight exertion in his hands, knowing that this person must be cheating.
However, Liang Yan was not afraid at all. He reached out and took out a black piece from the chess jar, which meant, "If the number of white pieces in Qi Wu Di's hand is an odd number, his side will hold black, otherwise he will hold white."
When Qi Wudi saw that Liang Yan was holding a black piece, he smiled slightly, secretly using his inner strength in his hand, he immediately shattered a white piece into powder.
"Sorry, sorry! What a pity!" Qi Wudi shook his head, threw the white stones in his right hand on the table, and pretended to sigh: "Unfortunately, my friend guessed wrong. The white stones in my hand are an even number."
As soon as he finished speaking, the palace maid next to him chuckled, looked at him with a strange expression and said, "Does this gentleman not know how to count? The number of white stones here is obviously an odd number, how come it becomes an even number when it comes to the gentleman's mouth?" ?”
"Nonsense!"
Qi Wudi scolded angrily, but still subconsciously looked down and saw thirteen white stones neatly arranged on the table, which was an odd number.
"Impossible!"
Qi Wudi's face changed drastically, and he subconsciously shouted: "I have obviously already"
Halfway through the words, he was forced to say He stopped and just looked at Liang Yan in disbelief.
"One of them has obviously broken, right?" Liang Yan smiled slightly, pointed at one of the thirteen chess pieces and said, "Mr. Qi, look at this one?"
Qi Wu Dishun Looking in the direction he pointed, I saw only this white piece. Although it was also completely white, if you looked carefully, you could faintly see the slightest crack.
“You!”
Qi Wu Di looked at Liang Yan in disbelief, obviously in disbelief.
“Accepted!”
Liang Yan smiled slightly, reached out and took out a black piece, and settled it on the chessboard.
When masters play chess, they must fight for every cent. The two of them tried their best, but in the end, Liang Yan took the upper hand. There was a trace of annoyance on Qi Wu Di's face, like a child who lost the first battle in a quarrel and felt very dissatisfied.
He was angry in his heart and thought to himself: "So what if I let you be the first striker? Let me catch up from behind and kill you without leaving any trace!"
It's just a matter of time Wu Di's idea is destined to be unsatisfactory.
He always boasted about his chess skills and looked for people to play chess everywhere. He thought that no one in the entire Yue Kingdom could match him. This time I tried every possible means to sneak into the "tea tasting party", that is, I wanted to have fun and see if I could meet a few good people to have fun with.
I didn’t expect that this time I would really be “entertained”.
Liang Yan entered Taoism through chess and formation. Although he was tortured by Kuchiki in Yixing Pavilion for several years, he was three points better than Qi Wu Di and his ilk.
In the beginning, the two of them were going back and forth, attacking each other. But after two hundred moves, Qi Wudi was already thinking hard, and it took him a long time to make one move, but Liang Yan was still as relaxed as usual, and his moves were flying.
By the time of the 336th move, Qi Wudi was already sweating on his forehead and he was undecided. After thinking hard for a long time, he suddenly stretched out his hand to push the chessboard and shouted:
"No more! No more! You brat, it's so unreasonable. I can't defeat you!"
He surrendered and turned around. He had already jumped out of the pavilion, leaving only a voice shouting. Said: "After you finish the game, Lao Qi will go to you to fulfill the bet! "
The palace maids next to them couldn't help but look at each other when they saw the middle-aged Confucian scholar just leaving. But they also knew that there were too many people here, so they didn't bother to chat. Instead, they walked to the edge of the bamboo frame and put the piece of The wooden sign engraved with Liang Yan's name was hung up another level.
A total of 128 people came to Qi Yi Xuan to compete. After five rounds of chess fighting, only four people were still in the pavilion at this time.
Of the four remaining people, one more will be eliminated, and the remaining three can enter the palace to face the saint.
Liang Yan had just sat down in front of the stone table when a thin scholar wearing a blue robe and a turban on his head walked across from him.
This man looks quite delicate, his manners are gentle, and he has a maid by his side.
The maid was quite tall, wearing a set of gray linen clothes, and had a round hat on her head for some reason, which gave people a strange feeling.
There were many people here. Liang Yan was so focused on playing chess just now that he hadn't noticed the two of them. But now that they were sitting together at a stone table, Liang Yan couldn't help but have a strange look on his face.
The thin scholar saw Liang Yan's strange expression and asked, "I'm Hu Lin, I wonder if this brother has any advice?"
Liang Yan glanced at him and said lightly: "Advice is not a big deal. I'm just curious about how the spirits today are so bold. They dare to sneak into the palace in broad daylight!"
The thin scholar heard what he said. He said, his face changed drastically, his eyes turned again and again, he didn't even play chess, he turned around and ran away!
The maid he brought was obviously much stupider. She stayed there for a while. When she saw that the thin scholar had rushed out of Qi Yi Xuan, she realized what she was doing and hurriedly fled away. go.
Liang Yan took his time, stood up from the stone table, and told Miao Suwen:
"Just wait for me here, I will come back as soon as I go."
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and the person was gone.
The palace maids in the Qi Yi Xuan looked at each other in shock at this time. They never expected that the two parties who were originally going to play chess would leave in an instant!
"What can happen now?" One of the palace maids asked anxiously: "Your Majesty has to decide between A, B and C. Now that two of the top four are gone, how can we compete? Go down?”
After hearing this, another palace maid who looked like the leader thought for a while and said, “That Hu just now Wasn't Young Master the first to leave? Even if he gave up on his own initiative. As for Young Master Tang, he left a little later. Naturally, he won without a fight and successfully advanced. He just had to put his name at the bottom. It’s considered grade ‘C’”
