"...Huh?
"You said...let me be careful about Liu Jiuduan? ”
At 6:30 pm on April 12, Hailing Hotel Banquet Hall.
The welcome dinner and lottery ceremony of this Spring Orchid Cup is currently being held here.
< br>However, the current Zhaojun, who was pulled to a corner outside the hall by Tian Yuan Kingdom's hand, seemed a little confused by the other party's instructions just now:
"Lei Qi 9th Dan, you mean...in the competition, right?"
"Yeah, don't worry! I know very well how powerful Liu Jiuduan is!
"I'm looking forward to fighting him again..."
"You don't understand at all, okay?!"
Hearing the other party's reply, Lei Qi He interrupted somewhat frantically:
"I mean, in daily life, you should pay attention to him! Stay away from him!
"If he comes to talk to you, you must refuse!
"Especially if he comes to you under the pretense of sparring or rematch, be even more careful! Do you understand!"
"Huh? Sparring or rematching with Liu Jiuduan? ”
Rui Zhao’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he directly entered the state of “Wow cool wow cool”:
"...There is such a good thing?!"
"So I say you have to be careful!!!"
Lei Qi's forehead twitched, becoming more and more hysterical. :
“Why are you still acting like a child!
“You were so beautiful and handsome at the Weijia Awards Ceremony earlier, and you were able to make people look dumbfounded!
"Why do you look so stupid again at this time!"
"Eh...?"
As soon as Lei Qi finished saying this, Empress Zhaotian, who looked happy just now, immediately He was stunned, as if he heard something outrageous.
And it was only then that Lei Qi realized that there seemed to be something wrong with what he had just said...
...It was broken!
What the hell did I say just now? !
Xiao Lei Jiuduan suddenly panicked, and hurriedly blushed and smoothed things over:
"Uh, no, I didn't mean that..."
Unfortunately, Before Lei Qi could start to explain, the girl in front of him had already raised her lips and said aggrievedly:
“Lei Qi 9th Dan...Although, I know I am not very smart.
“But I haven’t reached the point of being ‘hanhan’ yet!
“People around me have actually said that I have grown a lot recently! "
...Eh?
So what she cares about is the part where I called her "silly"?!
Lei Qi was startled for a moment, not expecting it at all. Rui Zhao's focus would be here, and he was relieved.
But seeing that the other party's mood was obviously depressed because of his words, the Tianyuan national player still hurriedly comforted:
"Uh, I, I didn't mean that!
"I just said... You have to listen!
"Liu Shixian obviously has bad intentions! You can't be fooled by his harmless appearance!"
"...Yes, really?
"But I don't think Liu Jiuduan has any bad intentions!"
Rui Zhao blinked, and then asked:
"Lei Qi Jiuduan...why did you suddenly say that? ?”
“Ah this…”
Lei Qi was speechless when asked.
Hiss——
How should I explain this to her? !
You can't tell her the exact words about "privacy" that Liu Shixian told him at the Sanshuang Cup dinner!
But just as Lei Qiju was in situ, extremely confused, the speaker in the banquet hall sounded the host’s bilingual reminder announcement:
“Dear guests and participating chess players. Hands!
"The drawing ceremony for our first round match will begin soon! Please return to your seats and take your seats!"
"Ladiesandgentlemen..."
"...Ah, sorry Lei Qi Ninth dan!”
Hearing the reminder, Rui Zhao hurriedly said:
“I have to prepare for the draw now! We’ll talk later!”
"Uh...
"Yeah, it's nothing. Prepare for battle! "
Lei Qi, who had just been saved by this broadcast reminder, breathed out, knowing that he might not be able to explain the reason to the other party now:
"I wish you a good draw, tomorrow Successfully win! "
"Well, thank you, Lei Qi 9th Dan!
"I'm also looking forward to passing the first round and meeting you in the next games!
"We have never met in an official game!
"Then...I'll leave first! Goodbye!" After answering this sentence, Huaxia Zhaojun trotted back to the banquet hall. It could be seen that she was gearing up for the upcoming Spring Orchid Cup.
Lei Qi, who did not need to draw lots in the first round, looked at the back of a girl of his own age and felt quite emotional for a moment.
Meet me...?
Yes!
With her current strength, it’s really no surprise when she meets me!
Even... I will encounter it many, many times in the future.
Thinking of this, Hua Xia Yuan Guo's players couldn't help but laugh.
He truly deserves to be a “strong rival”!
She is such a good opponent... I can no longer send her to the "God of Farming Heart" to fight for her life!
After sighing, Lei Qi calmed down.
Then he took steps and walked back to the banquet hall slowly but firmly.
……
As the guests arrived one after another, the drawing ceremony for the first round of the 15th Spring Orchid Cup officially began.
According to Shang Chaotian’s previous intention, the drawing ceremony for the first round of the Spring Orchid Cup was very transparent.
Not only did we draw lots on site, we even invited a notary to come! Highlight an opportunity that doesn't give anyone the chance to gossip.
But in this case, who will be drawn by Zhao Tianhou, the absolute top player in the Chinese chess world and a wild card holder, has become the absolute focus of this lottery ceremony.
When Huaxia Zhaojun came on stage to draw lots, the flashbulbs of many media at the scene suddenly flashed, which clearly shows Zhaotian’s news appeal!
However, in the past two years, Rui Zhao has been through battles for a long time and has become completely desensitized to media attention.
She did not panic at all during the whole process, kept a business smile, and completed the lottery calmly and dignifiedly.
——In 2025, the first round match of the Spring Orchid Cup:
[Rui Zhao] vs. [Anmingjiao]
…
…
…Eh?
Should I fight Zhao Tianhou?
When they saw the lottery results for the first time, the Anmingjiao at the scene was a little confused.
Yesterday he was still struggling with why Park Min Yeol was so afraid of Rui Zhao!
As a result, in the blink of an eye, the hot potato in the eyes of Li, Pu and Wen was in their hands!
However, after being confused for a while, Anmingjiao quickly came to his senses, and even...
A little overjoyed!
Compared with several famous senior world champions, although An Mingjiao, who was born in 2003, has always been regarded as the leader of the next generation in the South Korean chess world, his performance at critical moments has not been very satisfactory. As expected.
Previously, An Mingjiao's best result in the World Championship was the quarterfinals in last year's Yingyi Cup. At that time, this result made the South Korean chess world think that he was finally going to gain momentum.
But after that, he failed to break through the first round in the Miaojia Bailing Cup, LIG Cup and Sanshuang Cup. The best result in the country is only one national runner-up. It seems that his quarterfinal performance in the Yingyi Cup was more like an accident.
Therefore, compared with the outstanding seniors, he really needs to prove that he still has room for improvement and training value, so that the chess academy can allocate more resources to him, so as not to end up as a "waste prince" situation.
In this case, drawing Rui Zhao is undoubtedly a sleepy pillow for Anmingjiao!
A player like Rui Zhao, who has slightly weaker physical strength but has already defeated many world champions and is very famous, is far less difficult to win than a top-notch chess player. But for the improvement of his own fame and attention, I am afraid it is even worse than that!
Furthermore, in the impression of Anming Cult, Rui Zhao has always been afraid of being targeted.
Last time at the Miao Family Bailing Cup, Xu Xiangheng followed some countermeasures summarized by Takuya Ichijo and the Japanese Chess Academy at that time, and successfully suppressed the Empress Zhao Tian!
And after all, I am also a top eight player in the Yingyi Cup. As long as I follow the same method, it will definitely not be a problem to pass the test smoothly!
Hey, by the way, what is the name of the thing summarized over there in Japan...
It seems to be called "The Queen Zhaotian Response Plan", right? I remember it was available online!
When I get back to the room, I will search online!
After making up his mind, Anmingjiao showed a thankful smile.
However, he did not notice at this time: Park Minyeol and Wen Chengzhen, who had always been a little worried, also showed very similar expressions at the same time.
It can be seen that the three of them are very satisfied with the result of the lottery drawn by Queen Zhaotian...
...all seem to be very satisfied. (End of this chapter)
