Xiaosheng is not a nerd

Chapter 377
Yi Hang approached and looked at the two with a smile, but the first thing he said was: "Things of a kind gather together and people form groups."

This remark had a lot of meaning, Xie Fu and Cui Sanfei glanced at each other, seeing each other standing up and preparing to give way, they immediately understood.

Xie Fu said, "Brother Yi, please sit down." He was very kind.

Yi Hang laughed heartily: "To meet Brother Xie here, what's the difference between sitting and standing, it doesn't matter even squatting."

Cui Sanfei asked someone beside him to vacate his seat, and the three of them sat down.

Yi Hang recommends it now.

It was only then that Xie Fu realized that the fat man sitting next to him had a lot of background, he was actually the son of the Cui family, one of the nine surnames and thirteen kings, and he respected him politely.

Cui Sanfei had a good impression of Xie Fu just now because of Xie Fu's paintings. Seeing that Xie Fu and Yi Hang are as close as brothers, he immediately became very interested in Xie Fu.

Who is Yi Hang? What Cui Sanfei knows in his heart is that he, Cui Sanfei, is also a naughty master. He built the White Horse Clubhouse with the prince, and attracted a group of like-minded people. thing.

It is not an exaggeration to say that there are not many people who can play at the same level as him. In his opinion, those so-called playboys in Chang'an, there are playboys, but their level is not high, and they are even more suspected of being arty.

Chang'an's No. [-] dandy is not a white seal. Of course, many of his actions are shameful to many people, but Cui Sanfei's creed is that no one will kill others for himself.

This "people do nothing for themselves" emasculates selfishness and retains the individual self.

A friend of a friend is a friend of mine, just now the sentence that likes gather and people divide each other, Cui Sanfei smiled and said: "It seems that Brother Xie is also a shameful person."

Xie Fu laughed loudly: "It's ridiculous, but it's far worse than Brother Yi."

Yi Hang said, "Brother Xie, why are you being modest?" He whispered to Cui Sanfei.

After hearing this, Cui Sanfei stopped smiling and looked at Xie Fu seriously: "It's you, I've been looking for you for a long time."

Seeing this, Xie Fu was puzzled and asked, "Could it be that I offended Brother Cui somewhere?"

Cui Sanfei said solemnly: "You offended me too much, I want to compete with you."

Xie Fu was confused, but Yi Hang laughed out loud.

Xie Fu asked: "Brother Yi, what did you say to Brother Cui just now, why does Brother Cui suddenly hate me so much?"

Yi Hang whispered in Xie Fu's ear and said, "I told the third fat man that you are Li Shaodian who was the one who was in charge of the fifth daughter that night."

Although the name of Li Shaodian rose up in Yangzhou, it also has a legend in Chang'an.

Cui Sanfei recovered his smile: "Brother Xie was able to guard the fifth daughter at night, and I also have the experience of guarding the seventh daughter at night."

Xie Fu looked at Cui Sanfei's chubby face and fat figure, although he was very skeptical, he still smiled and said, "Brother Cui is the best."

Yi Hang added: "Don't tell me, the three fat guys really have a way of coaxing women to play with women. Silla maids, Bodhisattvas, and beautiful women from the Western Regions are the basic daily routines. In front of him, I am a firefly competing with the bright moon."

Cui Sanfei replied: "No, you are still the best! I heard that you played for three days and three nights, and I played for one night, but I was the one who fell down."

Xie Fu laughed and said: "In this way, the seven young ladies must be the best among the people with one to ten."

Cui Sanfen smiled when he heard the words: "Brother Xie, you don't have to praise me so much, you only know after comparing, how is Yingxian Tower tonight?"

"Shadow Immortal Building?"

Yi Hang said with a smile: "A place where you communicate with your heart, where Yingmei stands out from the crowd and breaks the green house, where the fairy girl wants to rise to the clouds."

Xie Fu probably understood that it was similar to a brothel, so he clicked his forehead.

But both of them blocked Xie Fu's mouth at the same time: "That's the deal!"

Yi Hang said with a smile: "Dragon confronts each other, and dragons cherish each other."

What kind of tiger and wolf words are these, Xiuyun on the side couldn't help but cover her ears, but she was afraid that the three young masters had orders and she couldn't hear them.

In the corner of Sishi, the music of silk and bamboo is suddenly quiet.

Everyone here knows that this is a hint, the master has arrived, so look around.

The person who came was a middle-aged man, wearing a vermilion uniform, with a handsome face and a flowing beard, and his demeanor was full of the noble and elegant demeanor of a wealthy family.

Walking over slowly, there were no servants by his side, and he looked peaceful and amiable.

This person is Wang Zuoda, the head of the royal family.

The water leads to Baohua Tongqu Lane, and the lights hang on the hills of Jinling Town. The name of Zuo Da represents the kingly spirit.

"The king and the lord."

All the guests present stood up and saluted.

"Thanks to everyone's love, Wanzhi came not far away. Zuo Da is deeply grateful. Today's visitors are guests and friends. You don't need to be polite. Everyone is free. If there is any negligence, I will punish you with a glass of wine. I hope everyone will forgive me." .”

Wang Zuoda's voice is clear and clear, with a hint of calmness and indifference, which makes people feel elusive in depth while being peaceful.

After Wang Zuoda finished speaking, the nearest maid immediately walked towards him to serve him wine.

But Wang Zuoda raised his hand to signal the maidservant to back down, and after bowing to pick up the wine glass from the curved water, he straightened his posture: "Respect everyone."

The guests all imitated their return, and the Patriarch of the Wang family represented a detached identity, like a folk emperor, so how could he not return by bowing down to show respect.

After some etiquette among famous families, Wang Zuoda sat down by the Qushui River, and shared the table with all the guests, sharing the fun of drinking cups in April under the spring sun.

The sound of silk and bamboo reappeared, and the orderly and lively atmosphere was restored.

Yi Hang laughed and said, "The Patriarch of the Wang Clan is really elegant and extraordinary. He seems peaceful and amiable, but somehow makes people daunted and unattainable. I don't know whose father-in-law it is."

Cui Sanfei laughed loudly: "It's definitely not my father-in-law anyway."

Yi Hang smiled and said, "The three fat guys, why did you come here?"

Cui Sanfei smiled and said, "I'm here to make friends."

"Third Fatty, do you still have few friends?"

"No, no, no, most of my friends are friends with scheming interests, but the ones I want to make are friends who share the same interests regardless of background or background. Brother Xie, I offer you a toast."

Xie Fu didn't talk too much nonsense, and served the wine to drink.

At this moment, more than a dozen Wuyiwei came carrying a huge square rock. It was more than three feet long and half a foot thick.

A dozen or so people were able to stand up and walk forward. If this scene fell in the market, it would not scare people to death.

You must know that a fine horse can only pull more than 2000 catties at most. If it is pressed on the horse's back, it will be crushed to death at once.

Sun Shaochang ordered more than a dozen black-clothed guards to stop, and said loudly: "Master, the chessboard is here!"

Everyone was surprised when they heard the words, the chessboard has arrived, what does this mean.

Could it be that this huge rock is a chessboard, but why is it so huge? It is roughly estimated that if this huge rock stands upright, it is almost as big as a three-storey pavilion with three facades.

Wang Zuoda got up and approached the huge rock, and saw him raise his hand towards the huge rock, and the huge rock immediately broke away from the shoulders of more than a dozen black-clothed guards and flew up.

With a bang, the ground trembled, dust was flying, and countless peach blossom petals scattered on the ground were flying and dancing under the strong wind.

The dust dissipated, and the petals fluttered all over the eyes and fell to the ground again, returning to silence.

Looking at that giant rock again, the bottom has sunk half a foot deep into the ground, and it stood up and took root in the ground, just like a three-story pavilion descending from the sky.

The rock surface is flattened, and the color is dark, but a thick layer of copper casting is poured on it, with criss-crossing lines, and if you count carefully, there are [-] vertical and horizontal lines. It is just a huge Go board.

Someone joked: "With such a big chessboard, I'm afraid the chess pieces must be at least the size of a palm."

Xie Fu looked at the huge chessboard erected on this side, but it was different from ordinary chessboards. It was roughly divided from the middle, with vermilion deep lacquer on the top and dark dark lacquer on the bottom, just like the Chu River and the Han border are clearly separated.

There are nine horizontal lines in the dark lacquer, and there are characters at the beginning, which are listed in order: "A, B, C, D, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xinren."

Others probably also noticed this point, knowing that Wang Zuoda must have a deep meaning in setting up this huge chessboard, and waited for Wang Zuoda to explain.

Wang Zuo Dalang said: "Everyone here is young and handsome, but Wang only has a young girl."

After finishing speaking, he took out an object from his hand and threw it towards the huge chessboard with a wave.

But it was a silver lacquered bronze medal with a vivid flying phoenix engraved on it.

Wang Zuoda laughed and said: "Wang believes that there is no fairness in this world, winning or losing is in his own hands, and fate is also in his own hands, so this second round of martial arts selection is not fair. Not good, luck and misfortune are all in your own hands."

Wang Zuoda paused for a moment to give everyone room to think, and then continued: "The detailed rules of the competition will be explained by Duling Sun, so I won't disturb everyone's chess game. Excuse me."

Play chess?

There is only one chessboard, and no one can play. The hundred people are as follows.

Wang Zuoda walked away, and Sun Shaochang came to play the huge chessboard. He said with a smile, "I believe you are all very confused about how to play this chess. Please be patient and don't be impatient. I will explain it to you in detail."

"Please take out the lacquered bronze medals on your body."

After seeing that all the people took out the lacquered gold bronze medals representing the eligibility to seek marriage, Sun Shaochang said: "Please leave your names on the bronze medals, gentlemen."

Someone asked: "Is it okay to write with pen and ink?"

Sun Shaochang replied: "Yes."

Another person asked: "It doesn't matter if you engrave it directly with a sword and damage the bronze medal?"

Sun Shaochang answered every question: "As long as you can leave your name on the bronze medal."

This is not a child's play, so as not to lose the qualification to ask for a marriage, do as required, or write your name on the bronze medal with pen and ink, or carve your name with a sword, and some even show their skills, pointing to the sword, swiping to write Write down your name.

Sun Shaochang waited for a while before explaining the rules of the second round of martial arts selection: "Everyone can clearly see that this chessboard is divided into two parts, the upper and the lower, and the silver medal represents my lady, who occupies half of the country. Everyone's bronze medals are not allowed to fall on the vermilion lacquer."

Someone asked: "What does Duling Sun mean by this?"

Sun Shaochang didn't answer the person's question, and continued: "This black paint has nine horizontal lines, corresponding to A, B, C, D, W, J, G, XIN, and seventeen vertical lines, except for the nine characters A, B, C, D, W, J, G, XIN, which occupy nine eyes. There are 140 four eyes left. These 140 four eyes are where you will play chess for a while."

Hearing this, everyone has vaguely guessed that the bronze medal in their hands is one, and they will go down to the 140 four eyes for a while, but they still have a lot of doubts.

Sun Shaochang continued: "A total of 160 people have passed the primary election this time. After a while, you can drop the bronze medal in any of the 140 four eyes, and then group them into groups according to A, B, C, D, W, Ji, Geng, Xin and Ren. Each word is one." There are 16 people in each group, and those who stand out will enter the next round."

Someone asked: "If there are nine characters, there are nine groups. Does that mean that only nine people can stand out this time?"

Sun Shaochang replied: "That's right, there are only nine winners in this round."

Nine people!

Many people have already looked at the masters around them, secretly weighing whether they can become one of these nine people.

I don't know, but Yi Bi is shocked, I'm afraid that this seat will have to use all the power of the family to fight for it.

Knowing this, Zhu Jiuchun and the others already looked ugly. He had never expected that the Wang family would come up with such a move. If Uncle Duan were to be in a group with him, even if Uncle Duan could help him wipe out the powerful enemies in the same group, in the end only If one person stands out, Master Duan will also be eliminated.

But Mr. Duan was divided into other groups, and he couldn't guarantee that he would stand out.

And after listening to the detailed rules of the competition, we will make arrangements.

At this time someone asked again: "Sun Duling, there are 160 three people in total, but only 140 four eyes, what about the remaining 19 people?"

Sun Shaochang replied: "If there is no target to drop, you will be eliminated from the game as abstention, so everyone bets first, here I want to make a statement, the bronze medal is counted when it lands on the target, and it cannot be moved any more. There is no regret when it is dropped. Others are not allowed to disturb the bronze medals on the chessboard, and those who violate the rules will be eliminated."

This is a forced abstention, a forced elimination. Before the real competition, 19 people are destined to be eliminated first.

Cui Sanfei smiled and said: "It's interesting and interesting. This is a game of hundreds of players. I have never played such an interesting game in my life." With the bronze medal in his hand, he was about to move.

Yi Hang said with a smile: "Third Fatty, don't worry, play first and lose first."

What Yi Hang probably meant was that if he made the move first, he would put himself on the chessboard as a prey.

Cui Sanfei said indifferently: "That's not necessarily true. Haven't you heard of taking the lead? Brother Xie, what do you think?"

Xie Fu smiled and said, "I think we still need to listen to whether it's a group fight or a one-on-one fight."

Yi Hang laughed loudly: "I like gang fights."

At this time, someone asked Xie Fu's question just now: "Sun Duling, how do people in the same group compare?"

Sun Shaochang pointed to the chessboard: "Competition one by one, the one vertically against the two vertically, the three vertically against the four vertically... the eight winners of the first round will enter the second round, and the four winners of the second round will enter the second round. Three rounds, the third round will determine the winner and the two will enter the final duel."

That is to say, the final winner of each group has to go through four rounds of confrontation.

Hearing such rules, Li Huichao and the others frowned secretly, only feeling that this chess game is more difficult to play than the real Go. In addition to playing against many opponents, they also have to consider abandoning their own pieces, even discarding trump cards. .

Someone asked about the order of the matchups in the second round.

Sun Shaochang said: "One or two winners are against three or four winners, five or six winners are against seven or eight winners, and so on."

This clearly tells you who your opponent will be in the next round, which is even more troublesome. It's better to be confused and just do it.

But for Li Huichao and his like, they can't be confused. While playing the game, they also have to accurately judge the opponent in the next round, or even the opponent in the next round. "

Only then did they understand what Wang Zuoda said just now - winning or losing is in their own hands, and fate is also in their own hands.

You can choose someone as your opponent, and others can choose you as your opponent to eliminate you. This is a mutual game.

And its complexity is a game played by hundreds of people.
