Chapter 352 The Return of the Queen
December 6, Shanggu City, Northern Hebei Province.
The Northland in December is covered in silver and is extremely enchanting.
This is a famous winter ski resort in northern China, and it is also very close to the capital, Dajing City.
Many of the snow sports competitions of the 2022 Tokyo Winter Olympics will also be held here, so there is no doubt that Kamiya City is a popular city for winter tourism. Right now is the best time to visit here.
The 2023 China Women's Go League A Shanggu Station competition will be held tomorrow at the Give Gift Sky Dome Hotel in Shanggu City. Many team members who arrived early took the opportunity to relax at nearby ski resorts.
If we look back on the past, there is no doubt that Yang Manjing, who has an active nature, must be one of them.
But... things have changed this time.
At this time, the little witch was sitting blankly in the hotel, quietly staring at the virtual chessboard in front of her laptop. She was not at all bothered by not being able to see the little squirrel when she was at Changbai Peak.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door:
"Jing Jing, are you there?"
It's Sister Yu Hong's voice!
Yang Manjing immediately went to open the door.
"Sister Yu Hong!"
Seeing the door open, Liu Yuhong slightly tilted his head and looked into the room, then asked:
"Jing Jing, what are you doing?"
"Ah, review some games. Tomorrow is the league, I have to prepare well!"
"That's it... awesome!" ”
Liu Yuhong first gave Bo Kua Kua to his youngest team member, and then got to the main topic.
"Jing Jing, I just received preliminary news from the teacher that the time for the Wuyue Cup semi-finals and the third round of the finals has been determined!
"The semifinals on December 19th and the three finals are scheduled for the 20th, 22nd and 23rd. The official announcement should be made two days after tomorrow.
"In addition, there will be famous players from the Bay Area this month. The competition schedule is very tight for the qualifiers for the Saihe Mengli Lily Cup, so you should also pay attention to the balance between work and rest! "
"Hmm, I'm not tired, Sister Yu Hong! "
The little witch answered very seriously, and she was a bit like a little adult.
"Anyway, the games are coming one after another. We must first win the league championship in front of us! ”
Liu Yuhong blinked, and then said:
"Well! Then I won't disturb your preparations for war!
"The three of us will meet again in the evening! "
"Okay...I understand. ”
After explaining to his teammates about the Wuyue Cup semi-finals, Liu Yuhong returned to his room in silence.
Through the hotel window, Queen Mulan looked at the various mountain scenery and snow colors not far away, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
Such a beautiful scenery, I have to change the Jingjing before...
Should have gone out to play as soon as possible, right?
Especially when there is a lot of snow - logically, shouldn't this child be particularly excited to see snow?
But ever since the game with Rui Zhao and Shokura Haruna, this kid seems to have been focusing on Go...
For a moment, Liu Yuhong was quite emotional.
Actually...she had two pieces of news she wanted to tell the little witch from Shang Chaotian just now, but she hesitated and didn't tell them.
One is the time of the Wuyue Cup semi-finals and finals just mentioned.
The other one is about the entry list for another women's Go tournament at the end of December - the Bay Area Masters Tournament. It will be announced in just a few days.
As an event in which all eight participating places are designated and invited by the organizer, the organizer will confirm with each proposed participant whether to participate before the entry list is confirmed, but the overall entry list still has to wait for the official announcement.
This year's entry list is basically the same as last year: double jade, four women's sixth-dan, and little witch.
And the last position was not what he wanted.
The "Queen of Live Broadcast", who just won seven consecutive victories in the Lakeside Cup Arena with a crushing victory, has undoubtedly replaced Mr. Wu and entered the list of this Bay Area Masters Tournament.
This is also the first time in the history of the Bay Area Masters Competition that new professions that have been selected for that year are invited to directly enter the competition list.
Although this situation was expected by almost everyone, Liu Yuhong, who saw the state of his team members, decided not to put pressure on the little witch before the game.
After all, the oppressive feeling given by Zhao Tianhou...
It is really... a bit too strong. …
…
“Well…that.
"Sister An An...I, is there anything strange about me?"
December 7, 9:55 am.
Shanggu City, Hall 606, Give Gift Sky Hotel.
The opening ceremony of Shanggu Station of this year’s women’s siege will be held here.
Rui Zhao, who arrived at the venue early, glanced around briefly and could not help but shrink his neck slightly.
"Nothing strange!"
Ai Jian'an glanced around with his peripheral vision, and then comforted his pillar.
Originally, Miss Ai usually wouldn’t come to events in the north - it’s a bit tiring to go back and forth.
Considering that this time the Dongjiang women's team has a certain probability of winning the championship, and she also needs to accumulate materials for her own pillar to hit the "Top 100" and pull KPIs, Miss Ai has no hesitation.
However, Assistant Ai’s words did not completely reassure Rui Zhao:
"Then why do people always point at me? It makes me feel a little uncomfortable..."
"Xiao Zhaomei, haven't you adapted to the camera now? Why don't you look at me more? Getting used to it!"
"But I always feel that everyone looks at me a little strangely...
"At first, everyone seemed a little curious, but now they seem to be a little scared..."< br>
The girl muttered slightly.
Ha... shouldn't you be afraid of this...
Ai Jian'an, who came with him, secretly cursed.
The chess pieces you won in the Lakeside Cup are more brutal every time. Don’t give any chance to stand out!
Forget the three chess games in the first stage, in the second stage they are all famous women's Go figures from Japan and South Korea! You also followed every one of them correctly.
Seven consecutive victories, and a new fifth-level title. Now that you are back in the league, how can you expect others to treat you as HelloKatty!
After complaining in her heart, Miss Ai had no choice but to tell Rui Zhao the truth:
“Oh, there’s nothing we can do about it!
“You behaved like that in the Lakeside Cup earlier. Okay, now that you are back to participate in the competition, everyone is a competitor, so it is inevitable that they will be wary of you! "
"Is this so? "
"Yes, that's it. ”
"Then...why does Sister Zouyang look at me so strangely..."
"...ah?"
Ai Jian'an couldn't help but be stunned, but when she looked up When they were in front, they saw that the female celebrity who was waiting for her team members was indeed casting her eyes at the two of them. Her slightly wry smile showed that her emotions were somewhat complicated.
Hey!
If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight...
Miss Ai sighed secretly in her heart, and then comforted the girl and said:
"No way! It's just your illusion, Xiao Zhaomiao!"
…
…
After the opening ceremony in the morning, at one o'clock in the afternoon, the fifteenth round of the 2023 Women's League One was officially held in Hall No. 606 of the hotel.
Facing the Tiangang team, which is currently ranked sixth, the Dongjiang team, which has made full preparations for the last four rounds of the league, showed an extremely strong state and won all three.
Among them, Rui Zhao, who was newly promoted to the fifth dan in the second station, still maintained the excellent form he showed in the Lakeside Cup. In the fourth dan match with South Korean foreign aid Lin Suying, he once again caught the opponent. An omission in move 64 led to a fierce attack.
On the 103rd move of the game, Lin Suying made four mid-game moves. The total time...
Only one hour and fifty-two minutes.
The last few chapters are the final plot of the women's siege. I will write a simple game of chess.
