129 competition begins (3)
Emperor Wen of Wei frowned and asked in a low voice: "Are you sure about Huairou?"
She is trying to make everyone else hold on to Baizi? You know, Baizi is going first! It is amazing that she is dealing with more than a hundred young heroes alone. She still wants them to make a move first?
He didn't want Gu Yan to lose. Where can he find two powerful generals if he lost? And he was also brave and resourceful, and there were not many such people in the court.
Gu Yan nodded, "That's it, it's troublesome to have too many people."
Emperor Wen of Wei smiled and agreed to Gu Yan's proposal.
"Just do what Huairou said."
The emperor ran away from his legs in one sentence. Not only did he have to find a table, but he had to find a chessboard. Fortunately, the Wu'an Hou Mansion occupied a large area, but the geographical location was good. It was surrounded by families with titles. It was not difficult to find more than a hundred tables and chessboards. It was not long before the competition venue was arranged.
Mo Xiang pushed Gu Yan into the circle with expressionless face, waiting for the others to take their seats.
Gu Yan glanced around and probably realized what she wanted.
It is easy for everyone else to say, but only one person is difficult to deal with. This person is one of the four young masters in the capital, Yao Hua, the youngest son of Duke Zhenguo's mansion, and is the younger brother of Yao Qian, the second disciple of Tan Yue.
Gu Yan glanced at Yao Hua, and saw Yao Hua smiled happily at her, frowned, and quickly let go, asking Mo Xiang to push her to Yao Hua.
The hardest thing to deal with is to start first, and then take action against him.
The four young masters in the capital have arrived today. No one comes to play the piano because they know that she is Tan Yue’s disciple and know that she is not as good as her, so no one just goes there.
But they didn't know that Gu Yan's best skills were not playing the piano, but playing chess. She studied chess with Master Mingyuan for many years and obtained another chess record that could be used as a family heirloom. Her chess skills have increased significantly in the past two years, and even Mingyuan is not her opponent.
Since you are here, don’t leave. Everyone will come here to serve as a stepping stone for her.
But there are some things that warn him not to talk nonsense, he should be able to understand the truth that disaster comes from his mouth.
Gu Yan was about to speak, but before she could speak, she let Yao Hua take the lead.
Yao Hua's eyes lit up when he saw Gu Yan coming to him, and he quickly got up and bowed with his fists. Then he opened his mouth and said flatteringly: "I would like to show mercy to my sister. Your second senior sister Yao Qian is my sister. For the sake of my sister, please ask Yan'er sister not to let me lose too ugly."
Gu Yan gave him a ugly look, "Who is your sister? I only recognize the second senior sister."
This idiot! She didn't say who was her master, didn't you just want people to know? He actually brought up all her true feelings. Now they all know that there will be no trouble in the future.
How many ladies in the capital want their master to accept them as disciples can't do it, but she, an outsider, has inexplicably become the master's disciple. Can she bear it? There will definitely be many people who will cause trouble for her in the future.
There is also the old Qu, who now lets her know that she is a disciple of the master, and will ask her to introduce the Gu family's daughter to the master and ask her to give them guidance to her. If she doesn't want to, even her master will not agree. The master is a master of Qinyi, so she will introduce someone to ask her to give her guidance. What are she using? Did the piano master hired in the mansion?
In order to avoid these troubles, she never said that, but now she can't hide it even if she wants to.
"What? The eldest lady of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is her senior sister? Wouldn't that mean..."
"Don't you say she is a disciple of Tan Jiao?"
"No, no! How is that possible?"
"Impossible, she cannot be a disciple of Tan."
"Tan everyone has been missing for many years, and it is impossible for her master."
"Where did she get such good luck? She actually accepted Tan as a disciple and became senior sisters with the eldest princess!"
"No, I must have heard it wrong, I heard it wrong."
....
Everyone couldn't believe what they had heard just now, and they all looked at Gu Yan in surprise, especially the noble ladies in the capital. They were all angry at this time, and they all looked at Gu Yan with jealousy. The handkerchiefs in their hands were torn into several, wishing they could strangle Gu Yan to death now.
"Damn it! What luck did this bitch leave? How could he be..."
"Ri'er bans words, pay attention to your demeanor and words."
Gu Rui was unwilling to accept it. Just as she was about to scold Gu Yan for a few words, Yu stopped him. She glanced at Gu An and Tang in a vague way. Seeing that they were staring at Gu Rui with anger, swallowed their saliva, and smiled at Gu An and Tang in a flattering manner.
Yu pulled Gu Rui hard and refused to move. He rushed to Gu An and Tang, nodding and smiling, hoping that they would not bother with Gu Rui.
Tang suppressed the anger in his heart and swept coldly to Gu Yu and the other two on the side.
After being swept away by Tang's expressionless face, Gu Yu and the other two immediately approached each other, pulled the corners of their mouths, and showed a stiff smile to Tang's.
Tang snorted coldly with disdain, turned his head and stopped looking at them.
Gu Yan gave Yao Hua a angrily glance and signaled Yao Hua to take a step first, then picked up a black piece in the bowl and raised his hand to make the first piece on his chessboard.
Seeing that she had finished her down, Mo Xiang didn't stay too late, so she pushed Gu Yan to the side. When she got closer, Gu Yan didn't even look at her and then asked Mo Xiang to push her to the next table.
In this way, Gu Yan was almost over and over. After more than ten people, Mo Xiang basically kept walking forward. Gu Yan quickly finished a round and came to Yao Hua again. Before Yao Hua could speak, Gu Yan made another spell and continued to move forward without stopping.
Yao Hua had no choice but to twist a chess piece and take another step.
Mo Xiangdu quickly pushed Gu Yan around the circle. Gu Yan kept swinging his hands, and he quickly turned around every time he arrived at a table. In the blink of an eye, he turned around for more than a dozen times.
Emperor Wen of Wei was slightly shocked when he saw that Gu Yan was still slow after more than ten laps, and he did not hesitate.
What a county lord Huairou! You can never forget it! No, she is so terrifying! She still has the ability to remember it all the time? But if not, why would she play so quickly? She could play more than a hundred chess game in one circle, and it would be easy to say that those with three or two pieces could accept it, but more than a dozen pieces could accept it. It's almost twenty rounds, right? In other words, there are more than forty pieces on the chess board, and how did she remember so many pieces?
Emperor Wen of Wei actually got into a misunderstanding. Gu Yan was not that powerful, and she didn't have the ability to remember everything she could. However, most of the most outstanding juniors from various families in the capital were sent to the Imperial College and the most famous Beiyue Academy in Beijing. The masters of chess skills taught were all those two or three people. The students taught were about the same chess style and style. They couldn't see anything in the early stage. It took thirty or forty pieces to distinguish them.
It was precisely because Gu Yan seized this point that she played chess quickly. She could tell where he made a move with just a glance. More than a hundred people made a move, so she knew how to do it without bothering.
Time passed quickly, and Gu Yan was not slow at all. By the time she had been in the forty years, she had already kicked the worst two out, and by the fifty years, the number of people who had kicked out had risen to twelve.
Soon, as Mo Xiang pushed the wheelchair to slow down, more and more people were kicked out. When he came to Yao Hua again, more than 40 people were kicked out.
“It’s fast enough.”
"Um."
"My sister said, you are her master's most proud disciple, and the three of them are not as good as you."
"Senior sister is too humble. I don't like piano skills or chess."
Yao Hua was stunned after hearing this, and watched Gu Yan leave his table and come to the next one.
I don’t like Qinyi and play so well? I don’t like chess and can still deal with them one by one? It’s only half an hour? I was kicked out of more than 40 people by her in such a short time. If I don’t like it and don’t learn how to play so well? What about playing him?
Gu Yan ignored him and continued her journey of battle. At an hour, there were few people left on the field, and Yao Hua was one of them.
Gu Yan glanced at him and found that there were seven people left, and there were two people who could hold on, and there were no more than five left.
The time was not long, and the remaining five people were eliminated, leaving only Yao Hua and another young man who were still persisting, but judging from the appearance of the young man, he would not be able to hold on anymore, and he would lose without having to use the three sons.
Gu Yan frowned and glanced at the man, and felt unbearable when he saw him sweating coldly, "You lose, if you persist, it will only waste time. It's better to watch me play chess with Mr. Yao with you carefully, maybe you will get some benefits from it."
The man was stunned, looked up at Gu Yan, thought for a moment and said, "No, I want to finish this game of chess."
Gu Yan didn't reply, but stopped looking at him. She casually put a spell in the lower right corner of him, and turned her head to look at Yao Hua at the table opposite the man.
There were only two people left. The servants of the Wu'an Hou Mansion had already taken action to put the two tables opposite. Gu Yan just needed to sit in the middle and could play chess with the two at the same time without moving.
"Do you still persist?"
"certainly."
Gu Yan nodded slightly, "Yes."
It’s great to have perseverance and determination and never give up, but this person is too long-winded and stubborn, and he still needs to be trained. If he trains well, he is also an available talent.
As expected by Gu Yan, the man did not hold on until the end. After the third son, Gu Yan lost the chess piece after eating a large piece. The man sighed deeply and left Wu'an Hou Mansion with a pale face.
Gu Yan frowned and winked at Shuxiang in the distance. Shuxiang nodded secretly, turned around and left with the man, and came back soon.
Gu Yan focused on dealing with Yao Hua, and this time she didn't have to be distracted anymore. She also used all her thoughts. Yao Hua was defeated in less than a quarter of an hour.
"Huh! I finally finished playing it, and I'm going to faint if I can't finish it. Sister Yan, you are so powerful. Even I can't beat you. I'm afraid there will be no talent in the capital who can beat you in chess skills."
It’s not his bragging. Now the young talents in the capital are not as good as him in chess. Not to mention that they are invincible in the capital, they are almost the same.
The four young masters in the capital must not only be handsome and have a prominent family background, but also have to be unique in talent. It is because he is a good chess skill and unparalleled, so he was selected as one of the four young masters in the capital.
Gu Yan bowed slightly, "Take it."
After saying that, Mo Xiang pushed Gu Yan and turned away, and headed towards the stand where Emperor Wen of Wei was.
Emperor Wen of Wei laughed when he saw Gu Yan win another game, "Okay, okay! Win two games in a row, Gu Yan, you have given me a face, proving that I have read the wrong person. You are indeed qualified to be the county lord. I should give you a female chess king in the Great Wei Dynasty, hahaha..."
I was still Huairou just now, but in a moment I became Gu Yan, Master, you are so fast!
Gu Yan secretly complained, but she didn't show her face and bowed slightly, "The emperor is too proud, Gu Yan is so ashamed."
"Hey! How could it be? You have a good chess skills and surpass all the heroes. It proves that you are no worse than a man at all. What's wrong with being a female chess king? Shouldn't it?"
"There are many powerful people in the world. Gu Yan has walked too few paths and seen too few, and her mood is still far behind. It is better to say that she is copying the way she makes the chess record than playing chess."
Emperor Wen of Wei smiled again, "How could it be? If you copy the chess recipes, wouldn't it be the same? Then it will be difficult to decide the winner. Gu Yan, if you have time to play a game with me, they all give in to me and dare not beat me, they have no intention at all. I think you are very brave, and it should be interesting to play chess with you."
Gu Yan didn't back down and nodded to say yes.
Isn’t it just playing chess with the emperor? What’s there to be afraid of? The emperor is also a human being, but he is born, so what’s so great about it? It’s not that he has a mouth and two eyes, and it’s not surprisingly good.
Everyone has known Gu Yan's boldness, and at the same time they have repositioned the Gu family in the heart of the emperor. What does the emperor have to let Gu Yan enter the palace to play chess with him? It means that the emperor attaches importance to the Gu family, otherwise no matter how good Gu Yan plays, the emperor will not speak.
They know Emperor Wen of Wei so well. They seem to be easy to talk and laugh all day long, but in fact, Emperor Wen of Wei's thoughts are the hardest to guess. They can be said to be a three-step look at each step. Everything he does has a purpose and will never talk nonsense.
Gu Yan easily won the second game, and the third game also began with the end of the registration.
Gu Yan has practiced writing every day over the years. Even when she went deep into the barbarians, she would carry a set of four treasures in the study with her. Through ten years of practice, the calligraphy she wrote is no worse than that of these young talents.
Emperor Wen of Wei looked up at the sky and said, "Time is too tight, just put books and poems together to compete. The questions... You are all men. Gu Yan has just come down from the battlefield, so she will use the border battlefield as the topic."
Everyone had no objection, and because there were too many people, they decided to compete in two waves.
Gu Yan was in the second wave and only started writing with the rest of the people after the first wave was finished.
Gu Yan lowered her head and thought for a while, lifted her pen and put the first word down.
It was not long before everyone finished writing it. Emperor Wen of Wei ordered people to get all the test papers close to the front, and ordered the Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion and the Grand Tutor to review the papers together, and the top ten people over fifteen years old were allowed to vote. Those with the highest votes won.
The two of them were very fast, almost glanced and put aside. After they almost finished reading, they gathered together to discuss, and selected the top ten poems and words that were considered the best, and put them in front of Emperor Wen of Wei.
Emperor Wen of Wei did not take a closer look, but only glanced at it, and ordered people to put the test papers in the center of the venue and let everyone come forward to vote.
Starting from Prince An, they all stood in line and walked towards the center of the field, looked one by one from right to left, and then placed a flower in front of the table where they thought they were good articles and words, indicating that they were interested in it.
Chapter completed!
