In the afternoon, Dawn came to the gate of Shanhai City again.

"here you are. Why are you here?" Jack jumped out of the side.

"there was a delay. Didn't you say that chess stand has been here all these days? "

"who knows if he will come today. So, why don't we just find a place to rob him? Why go over there? "

"Let's go and have a look at it first. Let's go!"

The gray-clad army's lunch burns hundreds of people, so the speed is naturally not much faster. Dawn told Darren after eating that he had to go to Shanhai City to run some errands. Just let them go first and leave a sign in the concealment of the road.

As for the things to be done, of course, it is to get back that high-level method of fighting spirit.

These days is Divine Thanksgiving Day, so the crowd in Shanhai City appears to be very dense. The streets jostled one after another, and there was joy on everyone's face, and they all seemed to have received the so-called divine grace.

After about a few minutes, Jack took Dawn to the corner of a small square.

At this time, many people have been gathered here, covered with noble spirit, civilians in cloth, and so on, who are whispering about something.

"he won again. Oh, my God, he's already won 15 games in a row!"

"Tenth five? Including the first three days, he has won hundreds of games and has not lost a single one. "

"Psst, so good? His sign is so conspicuous, how come there is no master to kill him? "

"A master? Well, the one who was defeated just now was the owner of the General Chess Hall in the city. He didn't make it for twenty minutes. It's a pity that he even lost the pure gold restaurant card! "

"this."

…… Listening to the sighs of the crowd, Dawn and Jack squeezed into the crowd.

First of all, two wooden signs in white and black came into view, "Bran's second chess player" and "the first has not yet been produced."

Tut-tut, arrogant enough. Don smacked his lips.

Under the sign was a man sitting on his knees and wearing a purple hooded robe. Because he looked down at the chessboard, he could not tell the difference between men and women. Behind the purple robe man were two men with expressionless faces and clasped hands, like guards.

Beside the two guards was a pile of miscellaneous things, some jewellery, some strange-looking, and undoubtedly the most domineering was the pure gold plaque leaning against the side, with bright eyes. Dawn found the secret book of the sea tide method and the inconspicuous flowerpot covered with mud.

Then Dawn focused his attention on the chessboard, which had a total of 64 spaces in black and white. Purple and red small sculptures are placed on both sides. The images of these small sculptures are soldiers with guns, cavalry, chariots, crowns similar to kings, etc., a total of six shapes. Then add some repetition, each team has a total of 16 pieces.

"how does this thing work?"

"well, you won't?" Jack looked at Dawn with disdain and then said, "do you see the soldier? yes, that can only go forward.". As for the cavalry, it went straight ahead and then slanted. Or go oblique first, then go straight. Here, the old man with the crown in the middle can see that as long as he is killed, he will win. "

"well, I see." Dawn nodded.

As he spoke, the man in purple robes arched his hand, and another man was defeated.

The man stared at the chessboard, took a long breath, stood up, bowed, and then shook his head to the side, his face full of wonder.

A guard came forward, took back the man's bet with a bowl of pearls and put it among the miscellaneous trophies.

At this time, the purple robe man had lined up the chess pieces on both sides, coughed twice, then spread his palms evenly and made an invitation gesture.

When you look at me and I look at you, no one dares to come forward.

"the old man, come and try."

The words fell, the crowd dispersed, and an old man with crane hair and handsome face came in with the support of a middle-aged man.

"Why, isn't that the owner of the General Chess Hall who has just been defeated?"

"that's right, but who is this old man?"

". I remember that this old man is the previous owner of the General Chess Hall, that is, the master of the current owner. Tut-tut, this is a great character. He once went to Brandu City to take part in the Imperial Chess match and won the third place! "

"Ooh, it's him!"

"that's great. Finally, there's someone who can put up with this arrogant guy."

…… have to say, the sign of the purple robe man is really too hateful.

After the identity of the old man was recognized, it immediately caused an uproar. Then everyone hurried forward, waiting to see how the purple robe man would be cleaned up later. They have been waiting for this moment for a long time and can't wait.

The old man sat cross-knee with the help of the middle-aged man. looked at the chessboard, the plaque of the general's chess hall, and finally the purple robe man.

Hand-in-hand: "the villain is shallow, does not know everyone, unexpectedly lost the plaque." Originally, above the chess game, he was not good at learning, and he deserved to lose. However, the plaque was a gift from a friend, and it was hard to give it up, so the old man had to have the nerve to ask for it. "

At this point, the old man paused and then said, "but the chess game is like a battlefield, and it has its own rules." The old man knows this, so he just hopes that if I win by a fluke, I hope I can ask for this plaque again. I don't know what everyone means. "

"it doesn't hurt, you can!" The purple robe man answered.

"well, thank you very much." With that, the old man took out a pocket chessboard from the cuff and put it next to him. "the old man has nothing. I wonder if he can bet on this today."

The game is like white jade and chess is like stars. The edge is moist and smooth, which is often played with.

"good stuff, yes!"

At the end of the speech, the two stopped talking. The purple robe man waved to the other party to invite him first, but the old man was impolite and took the lead in holding red chess.

…… Everyone couldn't help breathing on the micro-screen, reaching for their heads and looking at the chessboard. It seems that it is a jade beauty, but also seems to be a delicacy!

Don took the seat first, but he didn't have to work so hard. At this time, he was also staring at the chessboard, motionless, as if his mind was wandering outside the body. The two men began to move chess pieces very quickly, setting up troops and horses, as if they had a plan in mind. Just wait for the rain to be brewed and strike a thunderbolt.

Gradually, the pieces of both sides began to be eaten.

Thirty minutes later, when the game reached the middle of the game, the old man began to think. The man in purple robes was still leisurely, coughing a few times from time to time, and still seemed to be able to do it.

Everyone could not help taking a cold breath when they saw this posture. Is this guy still better at chess than the old man? How is that possible? this is the third place in the country. Another thirty minutes passed, and both of them were caught in a long period of thinking. From a layman's point of view, the two men have the same number of pieces and seem to be neck and neck.

Suddenly, the old man stretched out a trembling hand, grabbed the king with the crown, pinched it, turned green, and then loosened it.

"bang", fell on the chessboard, the crown fell.

This, this, this. The people opened their mouths wide and looked at the fallen king, a little confused for a moment.

"the old man threw in the towel!"

"excuse me!"

Wow. There was a sudden uproar in the silent scene. There was a constant uproar of fear on the faces of the people.

There are still pieces on the chessboard, but they throw in the towel at this time. That can only show one fact, that is, the old man is unable to make a comeback, and the situation is powerless.

Perhaps after sitting for a long time, the old man struggled to stand up, looking a little difficult.

The middle-aged man standing aside seemed to be completely stupid at this time, staring at the game of chess without immediately coming forward to help him. The purple robe man sighed, held the old man's thin arm and lifted it up.

"Thank you!" The old man was now completely calm, smiling and nodding. Then he turned around and walked up to the middle-aged man: "Let's go, let's go back."

At this time, the guard behind the purple robe put away the pocket white jade chessboard and put it among the many trophies.

Putong! The middle-aged man suddenly knelt down with tears all over his face: "Master, I'm sorry.". "

He regretted, ah, he did not expect to lose the chess hall plaque because of his impulse. Then it involves the master, losing the pocket chessboard that has been played for decades, and a lifetime of chess honor. "you! You! " The old man suddenly looked very excited, short of breath, tilted his body, kicked his feet on the middle-aged man, and said, "you really let me down!"

The middle-aged man lay down on the ground with a sad face.

"how many times have I said." The old man's face was flushed and his eyes were as cold as a tiger. "Chess can be reversed, but one cannot kneel!" You really let me down like this! "

With that, the old man never looked again and went out trembling.

People can not help but get out of the way, regret, respect, if any. All eyes were focused on the old man.

The purple robe man shook his head, turned back to pick up the pocket chessboard, went to the middle-aged man with a dazed face, and leaned over and handed it to him.

The middle-aged man looked uncertain, and all kinds of emotions flashed by one by one.

For a moment, get up quickly. Return the chessboard to the purple robe man, and then a long bow to the ground. Then he ran outside and said, "Shifu, Shifu!"

…… "ahem!" The purple robe man clenched his fist to his mouth, coughed twice, sat back in front of the chessboard and arranged the pieces on both sides.

The arms are outstretched and spread evenly. Everyone looked at each other, and then looked at the purple robe man with complicated eyes. For a long time, no one responded to the battle.

The third place in the country has abandoned their children and threw in the towel, how dare they go up and humiliate themselves. In this case, only the second and first chess players who are far away are qualified to fight.

All of a sudden, "Uh, is there no one?" Then I'll try. "
