With the dawn of dawn, the sky gradually fades away from the depth of night. Time passes through your fingertips like fine sand, sliding quietly towards the end of August.
In the past half month, although the enthusiasm of summer has not completely dissipated, a hint of autumn freshness and tranquility has quietly filled the air. The leaves sway gently in the breeze, seeming to tell the secret of the changing seasons.
On August 29, in the twelfth round of the Women’s League One, Pohu Women’s Team challenged Qilu Team away.
Like last season, this is the last round of games to be held at each team's home court - the subsequent 13th and 14th rounds will be held in Jinghongshan, Pohu Province in early September.
The last four rounds of competition are still held in early December, and the location is the same as last year, in Shangli District, Shanggu City.
The main stage of this round of competition was still calm - until the 113th move, after a chaotic battle, part of Su Qianqian's chess shape collapsed and she was unable to fight anymore, so she had to surrender.
However, after the investment, the 22-year-old Qilu team captain Su Qianqian couldn't help but ask:
"Um... Rui Zhao, can I ask you a question? ?”
“…Huh?”
Rui Zhao, who was not very interested, seemed a little surprised, but he still replied appropriately:
"Sister Qianqian, tell me."
Su Qianqian thought for a while and said:
"Why...when you selected Long Bo in the fourth round of the siege and Uncle Tuo in the qualifiers of the national championship? , basically no unreasonable moves.
“But I followed the same method today, and you started to force the group directly? "
"Eh, eh? !
"Do you want to ask this?"
The girl was so surprised that she subconsciously covered her mouth, and then hesitated:
"But...do you really, really want to say this?< br>
"I feel like Sister Sissi, you won't be willing to listen..."
"Ah, ah...
"Then, forget it."
Seeing Rui Zhao's "If you really want to ask, then I'll reluctantly ask," Su Qianqian suddenly felt something was wrong.
After all, if you know this Queen Zhao a little bit, you will know that she has always had "favorite accidents". There are countless male chess players who have emo'd her, and there are also several little crybabies of her in the hands of female chess players. There are two of them in the women's siege competition, so don't bring trouble to yourself.
“Yeah, yeah.”
Rui Zhao nodded quickly when he saw this:
"Sister Qianqian, let's start collecting the chess equipment!"
"...Eh?"
At this time, it was Su Qianqian's turn to be surprised:
"You... ...You don’t want to review it?
“Didn’t you always like to review it? ”
"Uh..."
Rui Zhao's tone suddenly became awkward.
The last time I met Su Qianqian, it was the second round of the women’s round.
At that time, Zhao Tianhou had not yet tasted the taste of fighting against the top men's masters, and she was still in the innocent time of "feeling very happy when there is a competition."
And now...well.
"...That, that!
"I'm in a bit of a hurry. I'm really sorry, Sister Sissi! ”
In order to cope with this complex society, a certain fool who has learned a little bit about human accidents has learned to lie to the outside world without blushing.
After finishing the chess game, Rui Zhao immediately went to the storage area to retrieve his mobile phone, and then quickly opened Yiguo and paid attention to another key domestic event:
The second game of the national team's third round of chess
<. br>
…
…
“Xiao Lei! Congratulations!”
An hour and a half later, Bianzhou City, Central Plains Province.
Xiong Siyi, who had just finished the review, smiled and sincerely congratulated Lei Qi, who had just successfully challenged for the title.
"This should be the first title of your career!"
"Ah, yes, Xiong Jiudan, thank you!"
Lei Qi responded sincerely at first, then hesitated for a moment. , said to Xiong Siyi:
“That...I want to apologize to you about the Nongshim Cup.
“At that time, I just thought that you have the most relaxed attitude. , can withstand the pressure, so I put you at the end. I didn’t expect it would cause you so much trouble. I'm so sorry! ”
As we all know, after Mr. Liu completed the miracle of "one through six" in the Nongshim Cup, the state of the four Chinese team members who played in the third stage fluctuated for a long time, which shows the impact of being nailed to the pillar of shame on them. .
Among them, Sun Houer recovered the fastest overall, while Dai Gong and Brother Hen, although slightly slower, finally recovered by the middle of the year.
Only Xiong Siyi, who was the final leader, "picked up" the runner-up in the Tongge Cup with his excellent luck and opponent's taking turns, but judging from the content of the chess, this " The status of "China's first post-00s force" is obviously still in a sluggish state, and it is still struggling.
This time, the national players competed in three rounds of chess, and Lei Qi crushed them in two games. It can be said that he won the title without a single blow, which is evident.
But it was precisely because of this that Lei Qi apologized to Xiong Si again and again.
Xiong Siyi was most affected, obviously because he was the final leader. As for the reason why Little Bear was placed in this position, Lei Qi, as the captain and the one who actively requested the vanguard to play, must bear at least half of the responsibility.
So, Xiaolei 9th Dan felt a little bit sorry for taking the title from Xiong Siyi who was in a sluggish state. But after hearing this, Little Bear was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand and said:
"Ah, what are you talking about!
"Senior Dai Kuaiqi Weak, Senior Tang was in fits and starts, and Senior Sun always bullied the weak and feared the strong. And I'm notoriously heartless.
"Among the remaining four people, I, Xiong Da, must be the most suitable!
"It's just... I may have underestimated the difficulty of the position of commander!
"Hey! It seems that I, who is so heartless, still have a sense of responsibility..."
Speaking of this, Shaheitian sighed, and then smiled:< br>
“But this time... my responsibility can be lighter again!
“After I beat Senior Lin the year before last, my first teacher called me to congratulate me and told me:
“Since the title holder enjoys the respect of the chess world and the right to accept challenges while in office, Correspondingly, one must also bear the corresponding responsibilities as a title holder.
“But to be honest... I still don’t like this feeling of responsibility! In fact, I just want to play chess happily.
“Actually, seeing how you felt last year With the performance of the chess holy war, I was completely prepared to hand over the [National Player] to you! But I really didn’t expect your condition to be so bad..."
The little bear paused for a moment, then smiled at Lei Qi and said:
"However, it's only one year late, so it's not too late!
"Xiao Lei, in the next year, the [National Player] will be left to you! "
"...Well, don't worry, Xiong Jiuduan. "
......
After the conversation, Xiong Siyi and Lei Qi put away the chess game and returned to the player lounge to wait for the subsequent award ceremony.
But just as Lei Qi turned on his phone again, he suddenly heard Xiong Sixiaoxiao exclaimed:
"Ah! Xiao Xiong sent a second WeChat message to comfort me!
" Although I actually don’t care much~ It’s great to have a little brother like Xiao Xiong Er! Hey~"
"..."
Lei Qi was speechless for a moment and decided not to answer or complain about this.
The alternating current waves of Shabaitian and Shaheitian have always been difficult for outsiders to receive, so it’s better not to get yourself involved.
Unexpectedly, just after he turned on his phone, he also received a WeChat message:
[Lei Qi 9th Dan! Congratulations on getting your first title! 】
【I will call you "Lei Guoshou" from now on~】
Lei, Lei Guoshou...?
Upon hearing this title, Lei Qi's expression was slightly distorted.
【Please, don't call me that! 】
【Otherwise, when you get the title in early November, I will call you "Mr. Rui" every day! 】
After these two messages were sent, there was no movement on the other side for a while. It seemed that the name "Mr. Rui" was a bit ridiculous, so he finally replied:
[I understand. Lei Qi nine sections. 】
[But I may not be able to get the title by then. Everything may happen before the game is over. 】
Uh...
Do you believe this?
While complaining in his heart, Lei Qi quickly called up the number of women's armor today. The chess record - indeed it is "Zhao Yong Xing Sheng".
...Since you lost to Sister Zou Yang in the Mulan game, how long has it been since you lost in a women's game! ! !
However, complaints are complaints. Lei Qi, who took a brief look at the chess records, quickly realized one thing:
...Even the female chess players began to imitate Tu Zai and Long Bo's methods to deal with Rui. Is it clear? !
Tsk! Sure enough, group teasing is still not allowed. If you do, you will be easily targeted!
Although she is already doing everything in the women's competition, the next round of siege and the preliminaries for unlimited competitions...
I'm afraid it will be difficult...
…
…
As Lei Qi expected: Just as he finally ended his year-and-a-half-long championship drought, on the other side, after logging into the Weijia Arena, Zhao Tianhou, who was making great progress, had her rising momentum suddenly interrupted.
On September 1st, in the fifth round of the Siege League, Rui Zhao played against Geng Zhizhen of the Jinfen team in the seventh section in an away game. There were ups and downs throughout the game, but Rui Zhao gained a clear advantage in the middle game.
But for some reason, although Geng Zhizhen played against Rui Zhao for the first time, he seemed to be quite familiar with Rui Zhao's attack mode. The advantage turned into victory. In the end, Guanzi suffered a tragic reversal and was half-heartedly defeated.
On September 3, in the sixth round of the Siege League, Rui Zhao met the 33-year-old world champion He Wei 9th Dan of the Tiangang team at the Kuaiqi stage at home.
He Wei, who is also a member of the Li Zhan faction, adopted the same tactics as Long Bo and Tuo Shu: strengthen the walls and clear the country, and try to enter the officialdom as early as possible without suffering heavy losses.
Zhao Tianhou, who was continuously targeted by the nine-stage fighting masters and couldn't bear it, finally chose to force a group start with unreasonable moves in this game, but was immediately met with a powerful counterattack by He Wei.
Although Rui Zhao tried his best to pester, he took the initiative to reveal his flaws and suffered too much in the duel with the masters of the Nine-Duan War School. In the end, Dalong was unable to kill Rui Zhao and had no choice but to admit defeat in the middle of the game and suffered three consecutive defeats. .
After the original three-game winning streak started losing streak, the Pohu team's results were naturally not ideal.
They lost all the last three rounds and only won two. After six rounds, they were temporarily ranked at the bottom with a total score of 1 point per game and 6 points per game.
……
Finally… the evening of September 3rd.
After losing to Tiangang team at home in the sixth round, the team’s eldest brother Du Weichen clapped his hands in the lounge.
“That, everyone.
"Let's... let's have a good meeting!" (End of Chapter)
