Li Xiangping didn't say anything after hearing this, but said in his heart that you should call me the last one. Lao Nie, if you can call all your Japanese friends through your connections, that would be the best. However, I will give you the only one Zhao Daokai in my heart.

At this time, the plane began to taxi on the runway, so the two of them shut up and stopped talking.

There was nothing to say all the way, and the Chinese delegation and his group arrived in Tokyo successfully. In addition to Li Xiangping, there were four other Chinese chess players participating in the competition, namely Zhou Heyang's 9th dan, Wang Lei's 8th dan, Kong Erjie's 7th dan, and "Brother Niu" Qiu Jun's 6th dan.

To be honest, this lineup is a bit flat. Apart from Li Xiangping, there are no chess players like Chang Hao and Gu Dali who have the ability to win the championship. However, the four players were all played through the selection competition, which makes people have nothing to say.

All four of them were going to participate in the first round of the competition, so that night, Li Xiangping and everyone participated in the "Eve Festival" of the competition. As the defending champion, before the official draw, Li Xiangping was invited to the stage and was asked by the host Aunt Mei Ze to "say a few words".

Of course, Li Xiangping would not be unconventional at this time. He acted properly and said a few of the most ordinary diplomatic rhetorics, and then wished all the participating chess players to "play good chess."

At less than 9 o'clock in the evening, all the first round matches came out. Li Xiangping didn't care about other draws and was concerned about the opponents of the four teammates. In the first round, "Brother Niu" drew Taipei's red-faced chess king, Kong Erjie was drawn by South Korea's Song Taikun, and Wang Lei played against Japanese veteran Yoshio Yamada, and Zhou Heyang played against a European amateur chess player.

To be fair, such a signing position is excellent, and Li Xiangping even believes that it is very likely that all four of them will advance.

On the second day, Li Xiangping didn't go anywhere. He and Lao Nie, reporter Zhang Da, Lao Xie and others stayed in the viewing room and watched the first round of the game throughout the whole time.

The result was a bit beyond expectations. First of all, it was Brother Niu. "Brother Niu" might be because he participated in the World Championships for a few times. He did not perform at all and was suppressed by the Taipei Red-faced Chess King and was in a defeat early on.

In addition to Brother Niu, Kong Erjie, he never took advantage of the game against the Korean "Young Warriors". And because of an inadvertent mistake in the morning, he quickly fell into a hard battle.

It is precisely because of these two unfavorable chess games that Li Xiangping stayed in the laboratory and kept moving forward.

But it was useless. After all, they were the match, so Li Xiangping couldn't help much. By 5 pm, all the matches ended, and the two lost in the end. Only two of the four Chinese teams advanced.

The first round of the game ended, and the second round of draws will be held that night.

Li Xiangping needs to participate in this: Kobayashi Jue! Li Xiangping's opponent in this round is Japanese chess player Kobayashi Jue Jiudan.

Of course there is nothing to say about such an opponent. The only thing that makes Li Xiangping a little strange is that this is his third international match this year, why are all three opponents Japanese?

Later, he thought about it and felt that it was nothing. The "Fujitsu Cup" was a Go event held by Japan after all, and Japan had the largest number of places to participate. Therefore, the real coincidence was the previous "Yingshi Cup".

After the opponent was confirmed, Li Xiangping retreated early and he wanted to prepare for the next day's show.

But even though Li Xiangping was prepared, when Old Nie called him to set off the next day, Li Xiangping was still shocked by the huge Japanese lineup:

Otake Hero Nine Section, Lin Haifeng Nine Section, Takemiya Masaki Nine Section, Ida Kiki Nine Section, and Mr. Hideyuki Fujisawa's only personal disciple, Takao Shin-Ru.

In addition, there is Yukari Umezawa. There is also a NHK TV camera team following her. There are more than these. In addition, there are many Japanese reporters with cameras hanging on them...

These people, including Lao Nie, Lao Xie, Zhang Da reporter and Li Xiangping himself, took several cars and rushed to a suburb of Tokyo Bay. That was the current residence of the old sage.

"......Zhao Daokai, Zhao Daokai, if you have created such a big formation now, if you can't make any noise, then you can't blame your brother for not helping you. You can only blame yourself for not drawing it well. You can go back as soon as possible and continue to be your ordinary dandy..."

On the way, Li Xiangping thought silently.

After arriving at the destination, Li Xiangping was even more shocked because in addition to these people coming from Tokyo, he was still waiting to help at the Lao Shengang residence. The Lao Shengang himself was wearing a traditional Japanese kimono and was waiting in his own yard with Li Jingjing.

First of all, there was a normal polite greeting, but when it was polite greetings, Li Xiangping was a little stunned-----

It was not because of anything else, because he saw that he was right beside the old charlatan, and now he set up a chessboard. The chess shape on the chessboard turned out to be the "advanced dog move" he was preparing to "ask for advice".

"...No, what is this old Nie doing? It seems that he is not wrong with his low EQ. How could he reveal such things in advance? This...how did I show it..."

Just when Li Xiangping was slightly stunned, he heard someone speak up, it was Aunt Mei Ze, who now acts as the old charlatan’s translator:

"... Thank you very much for Li Sang for coming. The old man was very happy. Alas, I had wanted to visit you for a long time, but unfortunately my physical condition was not allowed... Li Sang, you may not know that I always felt that I could live until now, largely because I was entrusted by you, because you showed me a wonderful world. Well, another level of wonderful world in Go, a wonderful world that the old man had never dreamed of, which supported me to continue to live, because even if I took a look at your chess, I think it was a kind of happiness."

"Ah?......Ah!..."

Li Xiangping was a little confused at the time, not knowing what to say, and was a little shy and blushing because the script was completely wrong. Isn’t this what I came to visit you today to “ask you for advice”? Why did he gain such an old fan?

Then the old man started chattering.

Li Xiangping was speechless, and he seemed a little at a loss.

Well, although Li Xiangping felt a little uncomfortable, outsiders were very satisfied with his performance, both Japanese and Lao Nie were very satisfied.

Everyone thought that this is right. As the number one person in the chess world today, he is still so humble and cautious, and he is even shy and even blushing... Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk

Finally, it was fine. The old man's health was not very good after all, so his chatter didn't last long. Taking advantage of this gap, Old Nie took out the "chess and soul" and asked Li Xiangping to send it to the old charlatan himself.

The moment he saw the painting, the old man's eyes lit up instantly. In his eyes, Li Xiangping even saw a hint of remembrance and a hint of embarrassment.

The old man suddenly stopped talking, and he held Li Xiangping's hand and began to stop talking.

This time Li Xiangping did not resist especially because when the old charlatan held his hand, he could clearly feel the teacher's memory. And with the other party's memory, Li Xiangping also fell into some kind of memory.

He began to commemorate the old man's career, his innocent heart and broad mind, and even his unruly and magnificent life-----

The old charlatan was also a handsome guy when he was young. How unruly he was? He was so slutty that he had not entered his house for nearly two years. Then after being held by someone else, he was so shameless that he brought an illegitimate child home. But he was so scumbag that he didn't cause any complaints from his original wife. He even helped him pay his gambling debts to raise his illegitimate child...

Tsk, we are role models! As Li Xiangping, who is also a playboy, he thinks that the old charlatan is definitely a role model for all playboys. Only a top-notch like him can truly deserve the word "chess and soul".

"I must strive to live a few more years so that I can see more chess played by Li Sang."

Before leaving, when the old man repeated this sentence again, Li Xiangping also felt a little emotional again.

Because he knew in his heart that with the old man's current physical condition, it would definitely not be able to support the day when the dog was born.

“………… Then let me try my best to show you more……”
