...Eh?
Zeng, Zeng Gouna...
Have you finished playing?
At 5:10 pm on the same day, the game room of the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Tiangang.
Yang Manjing, who was still insisting on completing the finishing touches, noticed noises and conversations coming from the first station not far away, and immediately turned his head to look over.
I saw that the chief referee was indeed coming to the stage to confirm the final result with the players from both sides. Lao Xu looked relieved, while Zeng Guangwen shook his head subconsciously.
At this moment, Zeng Guangwen suddenly cast his eyes at the little witch, as if he wanted to quickly understand the final outcome of Queen Mulana.
But when the two looked at each other, Zeng Guangwen already understood something from Yang Manjing's expectant eyes. But at the moment, he could only show an apologetic smile, and then mouthed silently - "I'm sorry."
When she saw this familiar scene, Yang Manjing, who had been fighting so far, instantly realized that her first trip to the playoffs was probably coming to an end.
Because...
The situation in front of her has also entered the petty official stage. White is about ten moves behind black on the board, and black wins 2-3 moves. The situation is basically unshakable!
With Zeng Guangwen finally losing, and Elder Du who had never lost unexpectedly before, the Pohu team no longer had a chance to pass!
In this game, He Wei, who was defeated by Rui Zhao in the first round, played extremely calmly and carefully. From the middle game, he continued to rely on higher quality of moves to continuously widen the gap.
Even when the leader, Taina Lin Ruixin, broke down on the spot and once again ended ten minutes earlier than the fast chess table, He Wei did not seem to be affected and was still controlling the victory without leakage. Simplify the situation.
Although Yang Manjing, who was indeed slightly inferior in strength, continued to use his hand to win, he failed in the end. After entering the stage of a small official, it can be said that the defeat was determined.
The reason why he hesitated to admit defeat was simply because he was afraid of the impact on Zeng Guangwen, who was still fighting on the last one!
But now, with the Queen of Heaven's Roaring Dog losing the bitter battle, she no longer has the need to persist.
But the extreme loss and regret came to her heart along with the regretful memories of the past, which suddenly made her, the youngest in the Pohu team, red-eyed.
Obviously...it's obviously only one round away...
We have already won!
And he still defeated Lin Ruixin to the point of emotional collapse!
How come...
How come He Wei doesn’t make any mistakes at all?
When Rui Zhao speeded through Zhuang Zheng in the last round... Tong Jing's performance after him had obvious ups and downs!
Why...
Yang Manjing bit her lip, restraining the last little official while trying not to cry.
In this league, the overall level of the top four is not much different. It's hard to say what strength advantage Dajing and Qiantang, ranked first and second, have over Tiangang.
If you can defeat the "Galactic Battleship" Sky Harbor team, it is not impossible to dream of winning the championship!
Unfortunately, as the Pohu team playing away from home was about to lose three games in a row except for the main player, this hope was quickly dashed. Only to leave the young Queen Mulan with deep regret again.
Really...it's only one game away! ! !
It would be great if I didn't make any mistakes at the end of the last round...then we would advance!
This time in the playoffs, that sister Rui memorized the black chess pieces in every game, leaving all the white chess pieces to me...
Even the fast chess table at home...it was me. ’s... I just hope I can fight for another victory!
As a result, the last big advantage in the game was overturned, and this game was completely suppressed...
Ugh...
For a moment, the unwillingness in Yang Manjing's heart almost made her bite her teeth into pieces.
The painful experience she experienced in the last round of the Women's League two and a half years ago happened again today, and it was uncomfortable for her no matter what.
However... every move a chess player makes is made by himself after careful consideration.
Just like Lin Ruixin who was in charge on the stage just now - no matter how strong the emotion is, if it has not been tempered by enough sweat, it will still not have any effect on the outcome on the board!
In this game of chess... I have no chance of making a comeback!
Although she was extremely unwilling, Yang Manjing at this time was still a lot more mature compared to the final match of the Women's League Two and a half years ago.
After spending another two minutes to collect herself, the little witch did not continue the meaningless late session. She found a good pitch and stopped the clock to admit defeat!
As the dust settled in this last game, the "Galaxy Battleship" Sky Harbor team finally defeated the main team in the difficult situation, relying on the favorable matchup and the stable performance of the other three players to win at home. The total score of 3-1 and 5-3 in the two rounds eliminated the Pohu team and advanced to the next round!
"Xiao Yang... you played this game very well!"
Seeing that the reigning Queen Mulan, who was not yet 19 years old, was in a low mood, as an old world champion, He Wei said with some emotion:
"I was saying the day before yesterday that in the future, we male chess players may not only lose to Rui Zhao, but we may also be defeated by you sooner or later.
"Now it seems...it is probably a matter of time. .
"You are not even nineteen years old now, the future will be yours!"
After saying these words, He Wei gently patted Yang Manjing's shoulder and said, Express comfort.
But it was obvious that the little witch found it hard to be in the mood to respond to her opponent's encouragement. After responding politely, she silently collected the chess pieces and left the table with a bow.
At this moment, she suddenly missed the feeling of being hugged and comforted by Wang Haocheng and Liu Yuhong.
Ever since she entered the professional league, these two people have always protected her and comforted her - including her disastrous defeat to Rui Zhao in the final round of the Women's League in 2023.
But the little witch also knew that she had grown up and had taken over the two titles of [Queen] and [Mulan] that Liu Yuhong had previously held. And he also left the Suhu team, traveled far and wide, and embarked on his own path.
Now Wang Haocheng is taking care of Xiao Rujun in Jinling City, and Liu Yuhong is accompanying his fiancé on the expedition to the Western Capital. Naturally, they cannot be in Tiangang, nor can they accompany him anymore.
The only thing we can do is...make a phone call...
The young Queen Mulan secretly whispered in her heart.
Still, you have to try hard to hold it back... don't cry!
After all, I am an adult, and I cannot be laughed at...
But just as she stood up, the little witch endured her loss and unwillingness, and was about to retrieve her phone, but something happened next to her. Suddenly a person ran over and hugged her in his arms:
“Manjing, it’s okay...
"You played this game of chess very well!"
"...Eh?" Yang Manjing was slightly startled, and suddenly she felt like she was back to the familiar feeling when she was comforted by Wang and Liu. .
When she subconsciously raised her head, she only saw Shi Zhaojun trying hard to smile, trying to revive her mood:
"... Uh, um, I'm a bit clumsy and I'm not very good at expressing...
"But, but I think you have played this game really well, Manjing! Even in the last round!
"Compared to the beginning of the season, Manjing, you have made great progress. Big! Let’s just keep working hard next season! ”
This sudden hug suddenly disrupted the little witch’s planned plan to call Wang and Liu, two old acquaintances, to seek comfort.
But Yang Man was in the arms of his general. But for some reason, Jing could no longer hide her emotions and started sobbing directly in the arms of celebrity Zhaojun:
"...Yes, I'm sorry Rui Zhao!
"In this playoffs, you won all the four black games you memorized... and you also played that Lin Ruixin like this!
"As a result, I had two white games in this round. I couldn’t even win it... ugh...
"It's all my fault..."
"Ah...no, it's okay!"
Seeing his youngest team member crying, Rui Zhao hurriedly Comforted:
"Didn't I keep losing the main position at the beginning of the season? It was also thanks to your performance, Manjing, that we finally entered the championship zone! So, don't worry so much..."
"Actually, the main thing is Thanks to your five consecutive victories..."
The little witch wiped her eyes, and then added a little tangledly:
"Ugh...I didn't expect that you, a silly fool, can comfort people..."
< br>“…Eh, eh?!”
The celebrity Zhaojun, who was called "silly and silly" by the team members, was slightly shocked, but he still tried his best to explain:
"I...I'm really not good at comforting people, and I often make mistakes when it comes to worldliness!
“…But, in the final analysis, I am the leader of the team, and I still have to shoulder my responsibilities!
“‘Whatever position you have, you must shoulder certain responsibilities.’
“Senior Brother Ni told me about this when he handed [Celebrity] into my hands. Woolen cloth! ”
"Ah...that, that, Rui Zhao.
"When comforting people, words like 'humanity' and 'responsibility' should not be used on your lips..."
"...Eh, eh? !
“Yes, right...”
“Okay, I forgive you...don’t apologize this time!
"Next time, it won't be the same!"
…
…
"...Have you finished comforting the little witch?"
At seven o'clock in the evening of the same day, Xidu City, A corner of the Furong Hall of Yanhui Tang International Hotel.
Seeing that his fiancée had just finished making a phone call, Sun Yi, who had just walked in, leaned over and asked in a low voice.
Although Ren is currently on an expedition to the Western Capital with the men's team, Xiao Xiaoniao naturally also misses the little sisters who have fought side by side for a long time. I heard that Yang Manjing was obviously depressed after losing. Liu Yuhong also called the little witch as soon as he was free.
"Well...the little guy seems to be more stable than expected, and he is still making fun of me!
"The little guys...are all growing up too! ”
After expressing a heartfelt sigh, Liu Yuhong couldn’t help but ask:
"Um...how about little Nie?"
Yes, today, the sweethearts of the Suhu team have more than one little guy to comfort.
Although today, relying on the victory of Ying Yalou 8th Dan and coach Sun Yi, the Suhu team on the away trip once again defeated Xidu with a total score of 4-4, and held its head high as the eighth in the regular season. Advance to the semi-finals of the league!
But in this round of playoffs, Xiao Nie failed in both of his five matches, and his idol was beaten by Rui Zhao in an extremely humiliating way. He lost his temper on the spot. It was hard to be in a good mood at this time. The game ended. After seeing the news, I felt depressed and felt like I couldn't accept it for a while.
“Depressed...it’s quite depressing after all.”
Sun Yi shook his head and replied:
“However, I have worked hard.”
“I have worked hard?”
“Well, he said he vowed To avenge my idol!”
“...What? ‘Vow to avenge my idol’?”
Hearing these two-hearted words, Xiao Xiaoniao was a little unable to react at once:
"I'm still telling you?! Has he forgotten that you are Rui Zhao's senior brother?"
“Well...this child seems Like Rui Zhao, he is the type who is more likely to cause human accidents..."
Sun Yi smiled bitterly and replied:
"But I think it doesn't matter. It's a good thing that young people are a little unwilling. .
"Didn't I work hard after losing to you in the Rookie King final?"
Liu Yuhong couldn't help but laugh when Sun Yi suddenly talked about the old things between the two eight years ago. He also joked:
“But Unfortunately...I am not strong enough to win you now! Otherwise, I will definitely find a way to give you a shot of strength!"
"Oh, I don't have to bother my wife!"
Sun Yi responded with the same smile:
"After all, some futures are still coming...
"And some futures...
"But they have already begun to step on my heels!" (End of Chapter)
