"Mr. Temple Master, do you really plan to play chess with all the more than 50,000 people waiting for once?" In the room where Duan Luming handled the office, Liu Hanfeng asked Duan Luming opposite him with a smile. He didn't want to wait for Duan Luming to say something, Xu Qingyue, who was standing by, had already taken over the conversation: "To be precise, it's 56,879 people! According to the current progress of Master. Temple Master fighting against four, it is only six or seven years later, and our Tianzhao Temple will be able to regain peace!"

"Six or seven years!? Senior Brother Xu, how can you be so calm?" Seeing Xu Qingyue, who had always been serious, say this seriously, Liu Hanfeng couldn't help but smile bitterly and cried: "Senior Brother Xu, you are only responsible for managing the internal affairs of Tianzhao Temple, but I... I am responsible for managing the external affairs of Tianzhao Temple! Although no one has signed up for the competition now, I now have to arrange most of the manpower to check the registered chess players who have already returned home to wait for the news. Then I have to notify them, and when they come, they have to arrange a schedule, food and accommodation for them. I... I'm so easy for me? If this is really delayed for six or seven years, I won't be tortured to death?"

"Haha... Don't worry, Hanfeng! According to my estimate: the more than 50,000 people will finish the competition within three years." Duan Liuming, who was free for a few days due to the Chinese New Year, was holding a cup of hot tea, and drank it as if no one was around. His words made Xu Qingyue and Liu Hanfeng stunned. After the two looked at each other, the former immediately asked: "More than 56,000 games in three years, that is to say: Lord Temple plans to use the one-to-nine-match mode in the near future? Qingyue is not worried that Lord Temple will not have enough energy, but what about him? Can he really adapt? "

The "he" Xu Qingyue mentioned naturally refers to Xingluo.

At the beginning, Xu Qingyue and Liu Hanfeng knew that Duan Liuming had such a big fanfare and the competition was all for Xingluo alone. In fact, Xingluo adapted to Duan Liuming's one-to-four mode so quickly, which surprised the two of them. Now that he could hear Duan Liuming's implicit sound, Xu Qingyue asked this with some concern. For experts like Xu Qingyue and Liu Hanfeng, it is naturally clear that if one more person is added to the one-to-four mode, the difficulty will increase by geometric multiples. When Duan Liuming expands the one-to-nine mode, he may be able to be at ease, but Xingluo has to withstand the spiritual impact of a completely different nine-plate chess game.

The difficulty of fighting against nine by one is not nine times higher than that of fighting against one by one, but to the ninth power of two - five hundred and twelve times!

"Oh hehe..." After playing a signboard and smiling as if it was lazy, Duan Liuming put down his teacup and said to Liu Hanfeng and Xu Qingyue Zhengrong: "His progress is faster than I originally thought. Three years is actually the old man's most conservative estimate. If everything goes well, I may be able to compete with these more than 50,000 chess games in less than three years. In short, you two don't have to worry about Xingluo. But what about Pingxi? Where did he, the acting temple minister, go to the annual annual meeting?"

What Duan Liuming said is naturally another agent temple, Du Pingxi, Qing Dynasty.

Speaking of Du Pingxi, he is the ninth-level god Zhao chessman with the highest chess among the three acting ministers. Although the appointment of the acting minister only examines the candidate's ability to handle things and does not value chess, Du Pingxi is the acting minister who everyone respects in Tianzhao Temple. However, Du Pingxi is quite like Duan Liuming, and although he is an acting minister, Xiang Shao is in charge of the affairs. Fortunately, Liu Hanfeng and Xu Qingyue are one in charge of the inner and outer chessman, and there is no trouble in Tianzhao Temple. It is precisely because of Du Pingxi's strength and style that many chessmen in Tianzhao Temple are talking privately: A hundred years after Duan Liuming, this position of the Tianzhao Temple is probably Du Pingxi!

When Xu Qingyue heard Duan Liuming mention Du Pingxi, he also asked in surprise: "What? Didn't Qingyue tell the Master of Temple? As early as three months ago, Junior Brother Du wanted to ask you for leave for three months, saying that he was going back to his hometown to visit relatives! But at that time, you were busy with the schedule of the game, so he didn't bother you, but just told me and returned home. Speaking of which, Qingyue remembers that he had told the Master of Temple of Temple before!"

"Oh? Is that right?" Duan Liuming pretended to be wisps of his white beard. Then he suddenly realized and said, "Ah! I forgot..."

"..." After a period of embarrassing silence, Liu Hanfeng could now respectfully report: "My dear Master, you originally held such a competition that benefits others and self-interest, which should be considered a grand event in my chess world. But from the news obtained by Han Feng, it seems that the court does not think so. Although Tianzhao Temple has always protected the Tang Ling Empire, on the other hand, the powerful strength hidden in Tianzhao Temple has also made the court suspicious of us. This time, you are so generous with the fact that many foreign chess players enter and leave the country, it makes the court very dissatisfied. In their words: they hope you can give an explanation before the spring of the next year!"

"Give me an explanation?" After pondering for a while, Duan Liuming slowly stood up and said, "Hanfeng, you don't have to worry about such trivial matters! Those clowns only know how to be intrigue and blindly turn against each other! Tomorrow, I will enter the palace and face the saint in the court. If even the emperor thinks that the old man, I don't even have the qualifications to fight the world chess player, I will stop fighting immediately! Is there anything else?"

"My Master, the year is approaching, and we must prepare for the Dingchen assessment for the coming year." Seeing Duan Liuming just nodded but said nothing, Xu Qingyue continued: "Because of the impact of the schedule of the game you held by Master, Qingyue believes that the number of people participating in the Dingchen assessment may be more than in previous years, and the qualifications of the chess boys in the test will be improved accordingly. Should we admit a few more Dingchen chess players?"

"There is no need for this!" Duan Liuming glanced at Xu Qingyue and Liu Hanfeng indifferently, and Duan Liuming explained softly: "Just as Hanfeng said just now: The court has always been taboo to me in Tianzhao Temple. If we take advantage of the opportunity to expand the number of Dingchen chess players, we will only give others a sarcasm. What's more, Dingchen assessment is only the minimum standard for Tianzhao Temple. Qingyue, I hope you can look higher and train more middle-class chess players. Speaking of which, the promotion competition for the eighth-level Hongyu chess players will be held soon? Hanfeng, you lost four years ago, so you must work hard this year!"

"Yes!" After Liu Hanfeng and Xu Qingyue responded respectfully, Duan Liuming sat back on his seat and wrote two sentences to a piece of white paper in front of him: "Those who know me say I am worried; those who don't know me say I want what I want?"

Outside the study, snow is flying.

The white snow condensed on the evergreen leaves of the gardenia, just like the pure and prosperous scene. When the light snowflakes were inadvertently messed up on the green leaves, a long-established plain flower suddenly exploded.

With the indifferent and silent accumulation of thin air, the instant fragrance and stunningness are not needed to be watched - just like the Xingluo sitting quietly in the chess room!
