Xie Shi asked with a smile: "Who is in charge today?"

"Teacher Du Shou Lingdu. The guy replied diligently: "Mr. Du is one of the nine chess players in our chess club, if you lose, you will lose ten taels of silver and thirty taels of silver." ”

Xie Shi nodded, gambling game, that is, people think that there is a chance to win before they can participate, Du Shouling's chess skills can make him two sons, ranking last among the nine chess players, this odds are just right, under the stimulation of honor and money, it will attract some good players to enter the game. Yang Zhi asked casually, "Can I bet?"

"No, you can't. If bets are allowed, those rich people will find some masters to provoke them at two ends in three days, and how do they do business in the chess building, the guy explained neatly: "Only those who play chess can bet, with a cap of one hundred taels and three games a day." ”

Yang Zhi understood that the gambling game of the chess club was just to attract attention, and he was not ready to make a lot of money on the victory or defeat; as he spoke, Yang Zhi and the others had entered the hall on the first floor with their buddies, and a large group of people watching were crowded in the hall, but no one played, and there was a middle-aged man who was a little interested on the lonely chess table, with a scruffy beard, purple skin sunburned, and some alcohol smell, it should be Du Shou Ling.

There were two games of chess on the wall, Yang Zhi and Xie Shi were chatting while watching, and the guy went back to the door to do his own business; Hong Bao, the shopkeeper of the chess club, walked over slowly, saluted Xie Shi and said: "Mr. Xie, are you interested in trying your hand, Du Shouling has won two games in a row, and people are a little tired." ”

Chess players play chess, shopkeeper management, is a matter of course, Hong Bao said that the drunkard does not mean to drink, Du Shouling will not drink if he is really tired; Xie Shi smiled and introduced: "This is my friend Yang Zhi, I brought him to the chess building for a long time, Yang Zhi, this is Hong Baohong's shopkeeper." ”

Hong Bao bowed slightly, he actually recognized Yang Zhi at first sight, but the origin of the Nine Star Chess Club is big, and he is not interested in a broken child Hong Bao; but Xie Shi is a friend of the boss Cao Qianli, Hong Bao pretended to have just met Yang Zhi and said: "It turned out to be Yang Yingying who eats dragons, no wonder Mr. Xie is modest, otherwise you and Du Shouling will have a game?"

Hong Bao has the meaning of squeezing Yang Zhi, even if Yang Zhi has been a martial artist, he is also a martial artist, in the Great Song Dynasty, which emphasizes literature and light martial arts, he is not welcome; Xie Shi's face immediately became serious, Yang Zhi stepped forward, stopped in front of Xie Shi and said with a smile: "The shopkeeper Hong is reasonable, I am a rough person, and it is rare to have the opportunity to be vassally elegant, so I should pay the tuition fee today." ”

Yang Zhi before the crossing was an amateur third section in college, participating in the online chess tournament is one of the rare pleasures in life, after reading the chess game, he knew that Du Shouling's chess skills may not be better than himself, so he walked to the chess table with Hong Bao's words, sat opposite Du Shouling, and put fifty taels of silver as a bet.

Yang Zhi is tall, at first glance, he is a person in the martial arts, he doesn't look like he came to play chess, but more like he came to smash the field, Du Shouling only plays chess, and is not qualified to refuse the other party, so he can only politely invite the other party to sit down and let the other party take the sunspot first. Yang Zhi was also polite, took the tea from the buddy, and walked out of the opening of the Chinese stream, Black first went to the star position, the second to the neighboring corner of the small eye, and the third to go to the three nine points.

Du Shou Ling was caught off guard, and everyone was unwilling to lose his identity for a long time, and after waiting for more than 30 hands, he found that the other party was based on the cooperation of the star and the small purpose, and the small goal was mainly to the side, and he was already too far behind, so he could only desperately kill into the black formation. The onlookers were silent, Yang Zhi gave full play to the advantage of taking the lead with a lazy smile, and always controlled the overall initiative by attacking the white chess pieces in the black formation;

There was a sigh in the crowd, Du Shouling's generation of famous Kaifeng players lost so much that they had no power to fight back; in the private room on the second floor, Cao Qianli was also stunned when he saw the chess game, standing at the table and not knowing what to do. There was a chessboard on the table, and sitting were Liu Zhongfu, the world's number one chess player, and Song Huizong Zhao Ji, who was the dragon eyebrow and phoenix, and Cao Qianli, Yang Jian, and Xu Zhichang were standing on the left and right; Qianli, arrange another person to play a game with Yang Zhi. ”

As soon as the emperor Chrysostom opened, Cao Qianli dared to refuse, and went out to Hong Bao and gave a few low orders, Hong Bao went downstairs cleanly, and gave Yang Zhi a hundred and fifty miles of silver and said: "Yang Daxia, the little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, our boss saw your game, and was shocked, I want to ask you and Ye Kexiu of the chess club to play another game, this time it is not a gambling game, no matter whether you win or lose, the chess club is willing to give fifty taels of silver for hard work." ”

There was a commotion in the crowd, Yang Zhi earned two hundred miles of silver in two games of chess is still eye-catching, it is not that there are no chess players who can beat Du Shouling, but the people who eat this bowl of rice dare not or do not want to come to the Nine Star Chess Club to make trouble. Ye Kexiu is the fifth-ranked chess player in the Nine Star Chess Club, and the chess club sent him forward, which contains the meaning of winning back face, Yang Zhi smiled faintly and said: "The shopkeeper is so generous, Yang Zhi obeys his fate." ”

Ye Kexiu stepped forward to play another game with Yang Zhi, facing the cosmic flow at the beginning of the three-star game, he also made a mistake in dealing with it, and after fifty moves, he completely lost the upper hand, and fell into Du Shouling's dilemma again. Yang Zhi fell like a fly, his moves were peculiar, and he fought steadily after the thick momentum was determined; Ye Kexiu frequently took long exams, but in the end, Dalong was annihilated, and his face was like dirt and ashes in the middle of the game.

The Nine Star Chess Club is a century-old chess club, how many players have fallen into the sand here, I didn't expect to encounter such an embarrassing situation today; when Hong Bao was at a loss, Wang Han, one of the three major offerings, walked to the opposite position opposite Yang Zhi and sat down with a smile on his face. Yang Zhi shook his head and said, "Okay, let's go to the next plate." ”

The hall was full of laughter, the people just like to watch the excitement, especially the excitement of the strong being slapped in the face, Yang Zhi made sense, Wang Han nodded and said: "As long as you play this game of chess, whether you win or lose, I will give you a hundred taels of silver." ”

Yang Zhi looked Wang Han up and down and said, "You are not the owner." ”

Wang Han is as famous as Zhu Budo and Jin Shiming, and his chess power can compete with the chess king Liu Zhongfu, but he has never done the emperor's chess edict, and he ranks third in the Jiuxing Chess Club, and the other two are Sun Yu and Li Baixiang, who have done chess edicts, although their reputation is great, they may not be stronger than Wang Han. Xie Shi hurriedly came over to explain: "Mr. Wang, Yang Zhi doesn't know you, please forgive me for the language conflict." ”

Wang Han showed an indifferent smile and said, "I'm just itching for a while, I want to play a game with your friend, and I hope Mr. Xie will do it." ”

Yang Zhi waved his hand and said, "If you just like to play chess, I will accompany you, no silver, let someone change a new pot of tea and bring a plate of snacks." ”
