However, during the time when Chen Hao returned to Taihe, the city of Chang'an, the capital, was in a storm, and the streets were full of discussions about the recent Japanese treasure presentation.

Li Chen has been a little irritable recently, for no other reason than to worry about the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty. In the capital city, for three days, no one can recognize the two treasures. There are a few people among them who recommend themselves because they are well-informed, but when you look at it,

When I saw the chessboard and guqin presented by Japan, my eyes were filled with confusion.

This troubled the emperor Li Chen. In order to stabilize people's hearts, he decided to send chess to wait for Gu Shiyan to fight, thus weakening the opponent's spirit.

"Hey, I heard that the emperor's list was posted outside the Wuchao Gate. Do you know?"

"I don't know, what is written on the imperial list?"

"I heard that an envoy from Japan sent three treasures. These four treasures have written records. These three treasures are a chessboard, one is a guqin, and the other is a Japanese princess. If anyone in our Tang Dynasty can, if

If a capable person can decipher the origin of the chessboard, recognize the roots of the guqin, and be better than Princess Qiongyu in chess skills, Japan will pay tribute year after year and become a minister year after year. If he cannot do this, let us, the Tang Dynasty, give them the land of the East China Sea.

Hama Sanshu.”

"What if we don't give them thirteen states?" a farmer asked quickly.

"Then they will raise troops to attack us! Alas, internal and external troubles will reappear before they are resolved..." A middle-aged Confucian scholar couldn't help but sigh.

"What's written on this imperial list?"

An old man with white hair raised his eyes and looked at it, and then said: "No matter whether it is monks or Taoists, scholars, farmers, or merchants, men, women, or children, if they can understand the origin of the chessboard and know the origin of the guqin, they will be awarded the title of Hanlin bachelor..." People who read the list did not

There are few, but not a single one has been revealed.

An old man sighed and said, "Is it true that there are no such capable people in such a great dynasty?"

"Isn't there a Japanese princess game?"

The white-haired old man's depressed mood immediately became excited: "When it comes to playing chess, how can the small Japan be the opponent of our vast empire. In three days, our national player Gu Shiyan will be ordered to play chess with the princess of Japan! It will be decided at that time

President, I am the prestige of the Tang Dynasty!"

While everyone was talking, there were two passers-by dressed as young men. They were watching the announcement and listening at the same time. Then they nodded to each other and left quietly.

"Haha, it's worth seeing. Don't miss this opportunity!" The two came to a secluded place, and one of them, a young man in a green shirt, showed a little joy on his face.

Although the young man in green shirt has an ordinary appearance, his eyes are extremely deep, which makes people dare not look directly at them.

"Oh? What do you mean by this, young master? Who is Gu Shiyan that person is talking about?" Another man in shorts uniform asked.

The young master in Tsing Yi's mouth showed a trace of arc, and said as he walked: "The emperor proposed to hold a Go competition. In this competition, Gu Shiyan relied on his superb chess skills to defeat the other heroes and was invincible.

The final.”

"The Go master who faced Gu Shiyan in the final was called Yan Jingshi, and he was also an outstanding master at that time. Both of them were very strong in chess. This fierce battle was so intense that the sky was dark and the earth was dark."

The man in short-sleeved clothes was fascinated by what he heard, and couldn't help but ask: "What happens next?"

The man in green couldn't help but sigh, and said calmly: "The fierce battle between the two top masters lasted for more than two hundred moves. Yan Jingshi's defeat was determined and he was unable to recover. Seeing Gu Shiyan's powerful chess skills and his free play, he finally

When he got better at it, he accepted his defeat and sighed: "What a calming hand, I can't match it!" After that, he walked away."

"If Japan and the Tang Dynasty go to war, it will be a great opportunity for us! Why did the sect master not take any action, but asked the young master to contact the people in the capital? Who are you? Could you please help me?"

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, just know about this mission!" The young man in Qingyi frowned and whispered softly, then his eyes glanced at the people beside him...

The man's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he quickly nodded in agreement. After saying that, the two of them disappeared into the crowd, like a grain of sand in the desert...

The name of the Ten Thousand Nations Congress Hall has a long history. In the past, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin purged the world and brought great power at home and abroad, attracting all nations to come to the DPRK. Therefore, the Ten Thousand Nations Congress Hall was built to receive envoys from all nations.

After many years of war, although it is somewhat abandoned, it is still grand in scale. Recently, a ring was built not far from the National Congress Hall in three days. The ring is surrounded by yellow curtains, and there is a plaque in the center that reads: Holy Hand of Miaoxin.

At this moment, the arena was already crowded with people. It was packed with people, all wanting to watch the exquisite moment of the two masters playing against each other.

After a while, I saw a group of warriors, surrounded by a woman, slowly coming to the ring. When the woman came closer, I found that the woman was dressed the same as a woman from the Tang Dynasty. She was wearing a light green silk shirt, and her face was covered with silk.

The blue silk scarf is coiled up, the breeze blows, and the silk scarf is lifted up, and the jade cheeks are faintly visible, like the new moon, like the snow on the flowers and trees, but they are too pale and have no color at all. I think it is because she has been covering her face for a long time.

The two thin lips were also very pale in color.

Princess Qiongyu was sitting at the side of the Japanese historical group, with little Katsuo standing behind her.

"Excuse me, have the chess players from the country arrived?" Princess Qiongyu asked Datang Fang softly.

There are three people presiding over the Go arena this time, with Bai Minzhong as the first, Li Bao as the second, and Du Mu as the third. Bai Minzhong is the prime minister representing the emperor, which does not lose his status, and Li Bao is the minister of the Ministry of Rites.

As a member of the Zhongshu Sheren's idle position, he could only record the scene so that he could report back to the emperor when he returned.

Du Mu, a member of Zhongshushe, stepped forward and said, "Please wait a moment."

Ban Xiaoshengxiong asked impatiently: "What level of work will the chess players do this time?"

Du Mu replied calmly: "The chess awaits the imperial edict, Lord Gu Shiyan."

Xiao Shengxiong wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Princess Qiongyu who was sitting down: "It's okay, just wait!"

She speaks fluent Chinese and is dressed in Tang Dynasty costumes. If it weren't for Xiao Shengxiong accompanying her, everyone would have thought that this woman was a Han woman.

Not long after, a middle-aged official with a solemn face and shining eyes came out. This was Gu Shiyan, the chess player of the Tang Dynasty. Seeing the Japanese princess, he smiled politely, but a little coldly.

"I have kept the princess waiting for so long! Please forgive me!"

"No problem, let's get started!" Princess Qiongyu said coldly and expressionlessly.

The two principals had already arrived, so there was no need to delay. So Du Mu ordered people to put the chessboard and prepare the chess pieces. When everything was ready, someone spoke.

"I have a hobby of playing chess, and I am not used to using other people's chess equipment. Come on, bring up my chess equipment!"

Not long after, someone presented the black and white chess pieces. Princess Qiongyu smiled calmly and said: "My chess set has a great background. It is called the 'Leng Nuan Jade Chess Piece'. It is warm and warm in winter, cool in summer..."

Everyone was amazed when they heard what she said was so magical.

Princess Qiongyu glanced sideways at Gu Shiyan, the national player of the Tang Dynasty who was about to compete with her in a decisive battle of Go, but she saw him sitting upright with his eyes closed, calm and calm, like Yue Ningzhi, unmoving, giving a magical introduction to her just now

As if turning a deaf ear.

It really means "Taishan collapses in front but remains unchanged, and the elk rises to the left but remains unmoved!" I couldn't help being secretly surprised, and thought to myself: "Only a person like this is a top Go master! Today I met someone

A real opponent."

But Princess Qiongyu then smiled mysteriously, as if everything was under control. Immediately, Princess Qiongyu lifted the piece with her left hand and placed the piece with her right hand, and then started a decisive battle with Gu Shiyan on the chessboard. You come and I go, as if

The wind accompanies the shadow. On the tall three-dimensional chessboard behind the two people, the chess game also changes according to their moves.

Both of them are masters of Go, and their chess skills are extremely superb. At that moment, they each showed off their unique skills and fought with all their strength. There was a sudden storm on the chessboard, and there were many wonderful moves. They moved vertically and horizontally, and the moves were like the wind. In an instant, they were killed and it was hard to distinguish. I could only watch.

Everyone was dazzled and cheered secretly.

The two of them refused to give in to each other and fought tooth and nail. When they reached the thirty-second move, they couldn't decide the outcome.

Princess Qiongyu from Japan has always been the best in the world in chess skills. She has no rivals in Japan at the age of fifteen. She came here confident of winning this time. She thought that she could defeat Gu Shiyan, a master of the Tang Dynasty, in one fell swoop, so she made fierce moves.

The offensive was extremely fierce.

But they didn't expect that Gu Shiyan was extremely skilled in chess, and in a few seemingly ordinary chess moves, he would actually kill every step, move vertically and horizontally, and move freely, causing his originally fast and abnormal offensive to fall apart in an instant.

And the opponent's counterattack seemed to be getting stronger and stronger, almost making her breathless. Princess Qiongyu knew that she had encountered a powerful opponent that she had never encountered before, and she couldn't help but break out in cold sweat.

She secretly cried out in her heart. Even so, there was still a glimmer of hope in her eyes, but she didn't know what she was relying on!

At this moment, Gu Shiyan saw that his opponent was a formidable opponent. After a hard fight, the formations were at a stalemate. It was difficult to get off, and he was secretly anxious. He couldn't help but feel sweat on his palms. He didn't know that he had no way out. If he lost today, not only would he

It is an insult to the emperor's order, and it is even more insulting to the country.

He was thinking rapidly in his mind, trying his best to think of ways to quickly resolve the battle and defeat the enemy. Time passed by minute by second, and the onlookers were also secretly waiting anxiously.

Suddenly, Gu Shiyan laughed. At this moment, he finally thought of a way to break the game. So he picked up a piece, raised his hand and swept it towards the chessboard. However, just a simple chess gesture made everyone stop breathing.

, watch quietly, because many people who know chess can see that this piece is the one that determines the outcome.

Princess Qiongyu, on the other hand, was panic-stricken but calm, staring straight at Gu Shiyan's gesture.

"It seems that Gu Shiyan's reputation is indeed well-deserved, and these thirty-three moves to suppress the gods are really wonderful!" At some point, the man in green shirt from before was watching the game from the attic not far away from the field.

"What are your chances of winning in a game with me, young master?" asked the man in short game attire.

The man in green shook his head noncommittally, and finally said with disdain: "The world is a board, and all living beings are sons. This is the chess I want to play!" Although he said it calmly, his eyes were rare.

Crazy.
