Chapter 48 Big Tiger and Little Tiger
"Young man, don't be too arrogant."
An old man with weak legs and feet, leaning on a cane, climbed onto the ring with great difficulty and sat across from Zhou Mo.
"Are you here to challenge me?"
"Exactly."
Zhou Mo didn't talk nonsense, he shot two to five, and then made a gesture of invitation.
Ten minutes later, Zhou Mo won the first game.
It's a pity that this old man has weak legs and feet. It took more than ten minutes to get on and off the stage.
The people who came up to challenge later were very quick because their legs and feet were more agile, and a game basically lasted ten minutes.
Half an hour later, Zhou Mo had won six games in a row.
There is only one spot left today.
The audience in the audience whispered, but no one stepped forward to challenge.
After all, if you lose again, your quota for today’s challenge will be gone, and this Soochow rat’s brand will be on display until at least tomorrow.
No one wants to be the one who takes the blame in the end.
Until, a young man suddenly stood out from the crowd.
"Zhou Mo, are you deceiving me that there are no chess masters in Wu State? I will challenge you."
As soon as this person appeared, everyone looked around, and someone immediately recognized him. This person was the folk chess king, the only legendary master who completed fifteen consecutive victories in the chess hall challenge seat, Zhang Shiwu.
Although chess has not been popular for long, the story of Zhang Shiwu is already familiar to every chess enthusiast.
The crowd immediately began to commotion.
"Zhang Shiwu. He is the chess king Zhang Shiwu."
"There is Zhang Shiwu on the scene, it's safe."
"This game is wonderful."
"Zhang Shiwu, kicked his sign."
When Zhang Fifteen came on stage, people were full of expectations and gave Zhang Fifteen warm applause.
Ten minutes later.
Zhang Shiwu walked down the ring dejectedly. Without saying a word, he left quickly.
People were silent.
Zhang Shiwu, who was highly anticipated, surrendered his gun in ten minutes, and did not hold on longer than others.
Everyone else thinks Zhang Shiwu is the chess king.
But only Zhou Mo knew that the level of this fifteenth piece was not very high.
Mainly because of his good understanding and quick learning, he was able to win fifteen consecutive victories on the third day after the chess hall opened.
However, he is impatient when playing chess and does not want to spend time studying hard. His reputation as a chess champion puts a lot of pressure on him.
So much so that these days, he only dares to show off his power by torturing food at the chess stall. It has been several days since he participated in a high-level game like challenging the exclusive seats.
Today, he mustered up the courage to give it a try, try to see if he can continue his glory, and relive the dream that night after fifteen consecutive victories, the stars were shining like the moon.
That feeling is really great.
Unexpectedly, I lost completely and without any suspense.
The gap is too big.
Zhou Mo feels that as the first traffic star to emerge from the chess hall, Zhang Shiwu has made a considerable contribution to the development of chess in Wuchang.
Therefore, when he lost the chess game and was about to step down, Zhou Mo comforted him and said: "Winning or losing is a common thing in military affairs. There is no shame in losing to me."
But Zhang Shiwu didn't seem to hear him, and he left in a hurry with a look of shame.
After the seven-person challenge ended, Zhou Mo looked up at the sun. It was still a bit early to have lunch now.
He ordered Lao Mu to take a few people to look at the plaque to prevent patriotic people from Wu from coming up to destroy it.
Then he prepared to leave with Deng Zhi and return to Guanyi to rest.
"Wait a minute." someone shouted.
Zhou Mo looked back and saw two well-dressed young scholars.
"What's next?"
"The two of us are here to challenge chess."
"The quota of seven people has been used up today, please come back tomorrow."
"So fast?" The two of them looked surprised. They got the order from King Wu and did not dare to delay for a moment. They hurried over and it was over so soon?
One of these two men was named Yang Xi and the other was named Diao Xuan. They were both outstanding young scholars in the state of Wu. Because they were good at chess, they were sent by King Sun Quan of Wu to challenge Zhou Mo.
Zhou Mo ignored the two of them, called Deng Zhi directly, got in the car and left.
Not far away, a carriage suddenly passed by the intersection and lay across the middle of the road, blocking Zhou Mo's way.
Zhou Mo stopped and watched, and saw the curtain of the carriage opened, and two beautiful girls sitting in the carriage.
An older man was staring at me openly and intensely. He was Sun Luban, with a small character and a big tiger.
The other younger one, with a shy face, hid behind her sister, but peeked over from time to time. She was Sun Luyu, also known as Xiaohu.
Sun Luban puffed up his chest and said loudly: "Mr. Zhou, do you still recognize me?"
Zhou Mo cupped his hands and said, "That day on the second floor of the chess hall, I met two girls."
Behind the curtain, Sun Luyu secretly shook his sister's hand excitedly: "Sister, sister, he still remembers us."
While holding his sister's hand, Sun Luban said softly to Zhou Mo: "I want... to invite you to come to my home and teach my sister how to play chess. Is it possible for Mr. Zhou to reward me?"
Sister Sun Luyu whispered excitedly: "Sister, how can you say such things? You are so embarrassed. I am so excited."
Zhou Mo was startled and thought: "What? Is it so direct? I, an envoy from Shu, carried Sun Quan and her two daughters on my back in the palace of Wu for a threesome. Just thinking about it makes me feel excited."
p>
He wants to think about it, but he still has reason.
He knew that this Sun Luban was not an easy person in history. She was a small but big tiger, and tigers wanted to eat people, so he did not dare to mess with her easily.
So I thought for a while, bowed and said: "Thanks to the kindness of the ladies, I am honored to invite you. I should have gone, but unfortunately I am busy with official duties and I really can't spare the time. I hope you two can forgive me."
Sun Luyu whispered: "Sister, he really understands etiquette. I almost want to cry."
Sun Luban smiled at Zhou Mo and said loudly: "It doesn't matter. In that case, I will invite you again another day."
After saying that, he closed the curtain, the coachman shouted and drove away.
Zhou Mo didn't know that the moment he closed the curtain, the smile on Sun Luban's face disappeared in an instant, and he murmured: "Huh, you don't even want to come, right? No one who dares to refuse this princess has been born in this world."
What?"
Deng Zhi watched the carriage leave and sighed: "The customs in Soochow are really open. The girl's family invites her lover on the street."
"Maybe it's just an isolated phenomenon." Zhou Mo said.
He felt cold sweat break out on his back. He had never been so nervous after playing chess all morning.
Back at the post house, Zhou Mo took out the chess and continued to practice with himself.
It won’t work if you don’t practice.
He is just an ordinary chess enthusiast who likes to watch Wang Tianyi bullying the old man in the park online.
After all, there are too many fun things in modern society. If you can play chess for half an hour every day, you are already a big fan.
To deal with a few novices who have just started, it is really a matter of chopping melons and vegetables, and they can be easily defeated.
But what if you really meet an unprecedented genius?
For example, the prince Sun Deng is extremely talented. The only thing he lacks is experience and game time.
To be honest, I really dare not say that I am sure of it.
What's more, chess is played by humans and cannot be without mistakes. Wang Tianyi could almost overturn his car in the park, and Zhou Mo could also capsize his boat in the fish pond.
That would be really embarrassing.
