71. Victory is glad to lose
Seventy-one, victory is happy to lose
Although Huang Xingjian was very powerful in chess, he was also trembling in the face of this complex fixed pattern that he had never seen before. He was walking on thin ice and spent a lot of time thinking about it. His hourglass kept draining sand, which made him a little confused.
Zhou Xuan did not dare to say that he was familiar with all the changes in the "big tilt fixed pattern", but he also understood more than 60 classic changes in it, so he responded without thinking. Huang Xingjian followed him as soon as he made a move, and his hourglass was almost completely leaking.
Huang Xingjian felt pressure and tried to seek simple changes as much as possible, but once he entered the "big slant", there was no simple way out. The black and white sides at the corner were divided into four chess pieces, entangled with each other and stepped out toward the middle abdomen. Zhou Xuan's black chess piece occupied the corner, which was stable. In other words, a black chess piece ran with two white chess pieces and attacked. Huang Xingjian's two white chess pieces were at risk of being slaughtered by the dragon.
Because Huang Xingjian frequently took the exam, the chess game progressed quite slowly. At the beginning of Chenshi, at the third minute of Sishi, there were only more than 60 chess pieces on the plate. These more than 60 chess pieces were basically concentrated in the lower left corner. The battle from one corner affected the overall situation, and the fierce battle situation was magnificent, which made Wu Weinan and Chen Xingyuan, who were talking about chess outside shout: "Excellent! Wonderful!"
Zhou Xuan had a clear start, and Huang Xingjian fell into a tough battle early, which surprised the thousands of chess fans watching the game on the spot. Huang Xingjian is the number one master of the Tang Dynasty. Although he ranks fourth among the 18th chess players, the top three chess players rarely appear. In recent years, Huang Xingjian is the most active and famous, but now Huang Xingjian is beaten by the Hou of Xinzhou and has almost no power to fight back. Those chess fans who bet Huang Xingjian began to regret it. It would be great if he bet Xinzhou, he would have lost 16.
The game was closed at noon, and after resting for an hour, the two opponents were not allowed to contact others, so as not to be clear and guided by the bystanders. The rules of the Go competition in later generations were another humiliating for Huang Xingjian, and he thought to himself: "Just, I, Huang Xingjian, still need someone to give me some advice. Who can guide me here? Unless it is Zhang Yi, the chess fairy Zhang, here, there is another mysterious chess player I met on Handan Road five years ago, and that person is a mountain man."
The cockfighting hall arranged a sumptuous lunch for the two opponents. Huang Xingjian only ate a little casually and went back to the game room. He closed his eyes and rested, and stared at the chess game without turning his eyes. His white chess is now facing a difficult game. Both dragons have to run, and no dragon can be abandoned. Of course, for a master like him, it is not very difficult to make both lonely dragons. The problem is that he cannot compromise. If he gives in to everything just to do his job, the chess will be alive, but the advantage is taken by black chess, how can he win? Therefore, if he wants to survive, he still has to not give in.
Zhou Xuan chewed slowly and was in a daze. The chess was under great pressure on him. Although he was currently the dominant, both sides were tense and could not relax at all. What was most beneficial to him now was that he only took more than half an hour in the two hours of the morning game, and Huang Xingjian took more than an hour. Huang Xingjian had to finish the game of chess in the remaining half hour, which means that he could not take the exam frequently like in the morning.
Most of the chess fans in the stands dispersed and went to a nearby teahouse for dinner. Gu Changshi, the people from the Marquis of Xinzhou, had already arranged it properly. The carriage was waiting outside the hall, and they all returned to Xiangluanfang for dinner. After a while, they rushed to Xiangrufang Dou Chess Hall to watch chess.
After continuing the game downward, Huang Xingjian thought hard for a long time, and finally made a strong move, forcibly covering the black dragon, allowing two dragons, one black and one white, to kill each other.
Huang Xing has a deep understanding of the calculations, and the complex battle ended up turning into a clever double-life. The problem now is that the black dragon surrounding the white chess outside has no life. If the black dragon outside cannot do it, the double-life inside has no meaning.
But for Huang Xingjian, being a one-dragon living is easier than being a two-dragon living. He began to run around for the life of this dragon, touching left and right, and moving as much as possible.
Zhou Xuan had plenty of time, so he could think about the chess more carefully. He took advantage of the white chess mentality of rushing to live, and he took a lot of advantage from the side, and the chess was thicker. He knew that he was not as good as Huang Xingjian in official positions, so he tried to make the chess thicker, so he would be easier to finish the finals in the future.
Shen Shi, the King of Wei Xu Mian, who was the referee, reminded Huang Xingjian: "Chis Huang, you still have two quarters of an hour."
When Huang Xingjian saw that there was only a little sand left in his hourglass, he couldn't help but feel a little panicked. The chess has just entered the stage of a big official, and now the board is in a fine chess situation. He must get more than three sons on the official position. In this way, he can defeat Zhou Xuan with a slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight
Huang Xingjian could only speed up the chess speed, but as he played, he faced the official who needed to calculate, so he started taking the exam again.
At the third moment of Shen Shi, Huang Xingjian's hourglass was empty. The boy responsible for turning the hourglass upside down looked at the King of Wei and shouted: "Prince--"
King Xu Mian of Wei glanced at Prince Li Jian, stepped forward and tapped on several cases in front of Huang Xingjian—
Huang Xingjian woke up from his thoughts and saw that the hourglass was empty and timed out. His face turned pale. He looked at Zhou Xuan and wanted to say something, but his mouth moved, but he didn't say anything.
Zhou Xuan had already seen all the officials behind him clearly. He won at least two sons. The two sons were a big gap for masters. Moreover, the black chess game was thick and the official was easy to win, and the white chess game was unable to turn the tables.
When he confirmed that he would win, Zhou Xuan was very willing to show his magnanimity and smiled and said, "The first time in Huangshan people played chess at a limited time, and this time it is not considered timeout, so continue playing." He thought to himself, "If you continue playing, you will still lose. If it is me, I will not appreciate this love. If you lose, you will lose. I will fight back in the next game."
Huang Xingjian was full of shame. This was equivalent to Zhou Xuan Kaien forsaken him. He wanted to get up and admit defeat with pleasure. However, he had just seen a trick of the official trick. It was even more uncomfortable than death if he didn't have the chance to get out. He immediately remained silent and continued to play chess, playing the trick of the official trick, which was the best all the way.
When Zhou Xuan first saw this chess move, he was shocked. At that time, the first feeling was that he had made Mr. Dongguo. He was eaten by the wolf even though he had fought the wolf. Huang Xingjian thought for a long time and came up with a clever move.
Zhou Xuan calmed down and calculated that this trick could make the white chess get a piece of advantage. It was already very difficult to win back a piece in the small official stage. After carefully calculating the overall situation, there was only one more piece on the white chess board, and the number of pieces was equal. At the end of the game, two and a half pieces were posted back, and black chess could still win one and a half pieces.
Zhou Xuan began to finish the game with all his strength, and the number of pieces on the chessboard increased. Huang Xingjian's official spell was really strong. After winning the single robbery, he won two sons in the end. After posting, Zhou Xuan won with half of the son.
Huang Xingjian looked depressed, and Zhou Xuan was also frowning. The chess that could win two and a half sons ended up with a slight victory in the end. Last year, the gap between Zhou Xuan and Huang Xingjian was quite large.
When Wu Weinan announced that the black chess victory, thousands of chess fans who had been watching the game made a loud "cool" sound. The chess fans who bet Huang Xingjiansheng sighed and bet Zhou Xuansheng quickly left the field to get the money. Ten losses were 16, and a small profit was made. Among them were Miss Lin Er, who bet 300 taels, and now there were 740 taels of capital and profit, which was so happy that they were laughing.
This time, Zhou Xuan did not ask Lai Fu to bet. Lai Fu took his own initiative and bet his son-in-law 1,560 taels, including Nian Nujiao's private silver and Xiaoqian's private money of ten taels. Lai Fu also asked Yang Bupin if he wanted to bet, Yang Xiaopin shook his head.
Niannujiao's fifty taels turned into one hundred and fifteen taels, and ten taels turned into twenty-two taels. They were all very happy. Seeing Zhou Xuan coming with Sini, they all came forward together and praised the young master, marquis, and son-in-law who could make money.
Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Okay, just make money, but don't bet on me tomorrow, bet on Huang Xingjian to win, and you can make sure you earn more."
Lin Hanyun widened her eyes and said, "Why, Brother Zhou Xuan is going to lose on purpose?"
Zhou Xuan said: "Go back, let's talk about it later. I sat there all day, my back hurts, and I feel sore in the pp. Nian Nujiao, please give me some advice later."
Niannu's heart was shaking and quickly responded: "Yes."
When he returned to the Xinzhou Marquis Mansion, it was already dark. Xiaoqian served Zhou Xuan to bathe. Nian Nujiao massaged Zhou Xuan’s neck and shoulders, and asked in a sweet voice: “Young master, do you want to lead your hands on your waist and back?”
Zhou Xuan said: "When you get off on the bed and lie down and then lead your hand."
...
After dinner, Zhou Xuan, Si Chi and Gu Liuquan carefully reviewed the game of chess today, and they were deeply impressed by Huang Xingjian's official.
The Sizi asked: "The master just asked Lai Fu and the others to bet Huang Xingjiansheng tomorrow. Is the master not confident in the battle tomorrow?"
Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "It's not that there is no confidence. Isn't it over if I win three games tomorrow? It's better to play one more game." He closed his smile and said seriously: "It's unlikely to win Huang Xingjian with 2-0. From this game, his chess skills are indeed above me, and the official is particularly strong. If I can't get more than two sons before entering the official, he will overtake the finale. Moreover, he will not compete with me in the beginning of the game tomorrow. He must try his best to make simple changes, steadily enter the official, and then use the official skill to wear down me."
Gu Liuquan nodded repeatedly: "The Marquis knows his opponent and his own."
The Four Idiots asked: "If the master can know his enemy and know himself, then there must be a way to deal with him."
Zhou Xuan said: "Tomorrow's game is to be a training game. I want to test it. It's okay to win the best. If you lose, it's okay to put the real decisive battle after all." Yin said: "It's a pleasure to lose, and it's a good idea to make a move - the ordinary heart is the most rare."
Gu Liuquan praised: "Marty Zhou is really elegant and has such a mind. Huang Xingjian is not the Marquis' opponent!"
Going to the Tongque Pavilion every night is Zhou Xuan’s must-do homework. As soon as Lin Hanyun saw him, he asked why he would bet Huang Xingjiansheng tomorrow?
Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "The people who bet Huang Xingjian today won the money and lost a lot. They will naturally change their rules tomorrow and bet Zhou Marquis to win. Therefore, Huang Xingjian's odds will definitely be very high tomorrow. Only by betting him to win will you make a profit."
Lin Hanyun laughed in surprise and said, "Brother Zhou Xuan, you are so bad. You're also making those who bet you tomorrow lose green. Hehe, it's so fun. It's hard to win the chess. Isn't it easy to lose?"
Fairy Jingyi said: "Brother Xuan, do you know that the Queen is here to watch you play chess today?"
Zhou Xuan said "Oh" and said, "Is the Empress here? I don't know."
Fairy Jingyi didn't say anything else. The Empress suddenly arrived and asked her what she said made her feel strange.
Zhou Xuan said: "Xiao Pin and Nian Nujiao's aerobics accompaniment are almost done. Tomorrow morning, I will take Sister Daoyun to Furong Garden to practice aerobics together. With musical accompaniment, it feels very different."
Fairy Jingyi agreed, and after a few more gossips, she urged Zhou Xuan to go back and rest early. The four-hour chess game was very troublesome and she would continue tomorrow.
Zhou Xuan said goodbye to the Lin sisters and returned to "Furong Garden", smiling and thinking about the delicate posture of Fairy Jingyi dancing aerobics in the sound of the pipa tomorrow. Wow, I look forward to it. There is something I expect before going to bed every day. I wish I could pass early at night. Life is so beautiful.
Nian Nujiao was waiting in Zhou Xuan's bedroom to give him a hand, and Xiaoqian was there too.
Zhou Xuan took off his boots and robe, went to bed and lay on the pillow, enjoying Nian Nujiao's hand guide from his shoulders to his buttocks. It was so comfortable, his whole body, limbs and bones were relaxed, and he fell asleep in a short while.
Xiao Xuxiang whispered: "My son-in-law is asleep, don't disturb him, Sister Nian Nujiao, you go back to your room."
Nian Nujiao tried hard to pull her hands, and her arms were sore and swollen. Zhou Xuan fell asleep and did not leave her to bed, so she had to go back to the room in a bad mood.
Zhou Xuan slept soundly and got up early on the 26th. After washing up, he rushed to the Tongque Pavilion to invite the Lin sisters to do aerobics. Fairy Jingyi and Lin Hanyun soon followed, as well as two pretty maids Jian Yue and Mingfeng.
At Furong Garden, Yang Xiaopin and Nian Nujiao are also ready to stop playing. Yang Xiaopin beats the Jie drum and Nian Nujiao plays the pipa. According to Zhou Xuan's intention, musicians will be added in the future. The two instruments alone cannot play the effect of DJ dance music.
Zhou Xuan waved his hand like a musician conductor, and the Jie drum "dongdongdongdongdong" sounded, and the rhythm of Yang Xiaopin's Jie drum was extremely strong. Then, the sound of the pipa with heavy rain and strings was poured out, and these two Western musical instruments were well coordinated.
