Chapter 42: Chapter 013 Fighting Yi Feng
Everyone knows that one should not speak while watching a chess game. However, at this moment, everyone simply didn't think highly of Yan Chuan's chess playing, so they spoke a few more words.
But when Yan Chuan said that, it seemed as if they were villains rather than gentlemen. Everyone's faces immediately flushed red. Some people even looked at Yan Chuan angrily.
The ten servants also didn't expect Yan Chuan to play so quickly. After a moment of surprise, they began to place pieces according to the chess manual.
"Pa!"
"Pa!"
"Pa!"
...
Ten white pieces fell. Yan Chuan grabbed a handful of black pieces from the chess bowl again.
"Pa!"
"Pa!"
"Pa!"
...
Yan Chuan placed pieces no slower than these servants. Flowing smoothly, ten more pieces were placed in an instant.
"Ah?" All the chess players showed astonished expressions.
"This person is really playing randomly..." A chess player once again despised.
But just as he spoke halfway, he forcibly restrained himself. Because he was the only one talking around. Others all remembered Yan Chuan's words, "Watch chess without speaking." For the sake of their own dignity, no one opened their mouths.
After the chess player's face stiffened, he also looked at the chessboard again. His face was still angry, waiting for Yan Chuan to be defeated and then slowly criticize.
"Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa!..."
As the servants placed pieces, they opened their mouths in astonishment because Yan Chuan placed pieces even faster than them.
They still had to check the chess manual before placing a piece. This youth was basically placing pieces right after them. As soon as they placed a piece, he placed one. What a joke?
"Pa!"
"Pa!"
"Pa!"
...
The pieces continued to fall. The chess kings became more and more solemn.
"How!"
"This isn't random playing?"
"Really solving the game?"
...
The chess players looked at the chessboard in disbelief.
"Pa!"
Yan Chuan placed another piece.
"The first game is solved! Solved!" A chess king exclaimed in surprise.
"The second game is also solved!"
"The third game too!"
...
When Yan Chuan placed the last piece, all the chess kings looked at Yan Chuan in silence.
"Okay, clean up the endgame!" Yan Chuan smiled.
"Good. The prince has excellent chess skills. The manor owner will definitely be very happy to know there is a good opponent again!" The servant who led the way smiled.
"Withdraw!" The servant who led the way said to the people who set up the endgame puzzles.
"Yes!" Everyone quickly retreated.
At this moment, the chess players also came to their senses.
"Who is this person?" Everyone began to inquire.
Yan Chuan didn't talk much with everyone. Instead, he found a place at a chessboard and sat down, waiting for the start of the second game.
Others were talking among themselves and generally learned about Yan Chuan's identity.
"The Co-Prince? He is the Co-Prince?"
"Why is the Co-Prince so young?"
"The Co-Prince has excellent chess skills!"
...
With his strength recognized, no one dared to act arrogant in front of Yan Chuan.
It seemed natural for Yan Chuan to sit at a chessboard.
After waiting for a while.
"Okay, it's almost time. The second game begins. As usual, the manor owner allows you to place pieces first!" A servant called out.
"Place pieces first? Huh!" Yan Chuan smile slightly and picked up a black piece with a pair of tweezers and tapped it on the "center point" of the chessboard.
The very center of the chessboard!
Placing a piece on the center point was like a gentle breeze blowing from the piece to all directions on the chessboard, blowing away all the dust.
At this moment, Yan Chuan had become the focus of everyone. Except for the nine chess players placing pieces, almost all the other gazes were fixed on Yan Chuan's chess game.
"Center point? How could it be the center point?" Someone exclaimed in surprise.
"Does he know how to play chess? The first piece, center point? No one has ever dared to play like this!"
"What a waste. This piece is completely useless!"
...
Everyone shook their heads one after another.
"Prince, are you sure? Have you thought about the first piece of the chess game? Otherwise, you can place it again." The previous servant kindly advised.
Whoever places the first piece has the advantage, but this advantage cannot be wasted like this.
"There's no need. When I play chess, the first piece is always on the center point!" Yan Chuan shook his head and said.
"Ah?" Everyone was confused.
Always on the center point? What a joke. No one plays chess like this.
"All right!" The kind servant gave a wry smile.
Waving his hand, ten servants quickly recorded the pieces and rushed towards the valley within a valley.
In the valley within a valley.
A waterfall poured in. Below was a large lake. A gentle breeze blew, bringing a lot of comfortable fishy smell. Flowers grew all around. A large number of palaces stood. It was like a fairyland on earth with birds singing and flowers blooming.
Beside the large lake, there stood a group of servants waiting.
In a huge pavilion, ten chessboards were placed. Ten servants were setting up the chess pieces.
At a small dock by the lake.
At this moment, a white-haired old man in white was sitting on the dock.
The old man had white hair and white eyebrows. His face was old. He was sitting quietly with a fishing rod in his hand, as peaceful as in an ink painting.
The old man was quietly fishing. Behind him stood a middle-aged man.
"Grandpa, how was the chess skills of those ten chess kings just now?" The middle-aged man smiled.
The old man's expression remained unchanged. He said faintly, "Their chess skills are acceptable. The third and sixth ones have improved to a certain extent!"
"Grandpa's chess skills have reached the peak. In the entire world, no one can defeat him. These ten people claim to be chess kings. But even if ten people join forces, they are still not grandpa's opponents. Moreover, they don't know that grandpa is actually playing blind chess. He didn't even look at the chessboard. He was fishing and playing at the same time!" The middle-aged man sighed.
"No one can defeat him? Not necessarily. It's just that our vision is so limited. Who can guarantee that there are no strong chess players among those immortal cultivators? They have lived countless years. Their chess skills may not be worse than mine!" The old man's eyes flashed with a longing and a sigh.
"No, I believe that even those immortal cultivators definitely can't match grandpa in chess skills!" The middle-aged man was stubborn.
The old man smile slightly and continued fishing.
"In the first game, four in and four out!" A servant reported.
"Upper four three!" The old man replied without turning his head.
The servant behind who was in charge of the chessboard quickly placed a white piece according to the old man's request.
"In the second game, flat four four!" Another servant called out.
"In four four!" The old man said faintly while fishing.
"In the third game..."
In the fourth game...
With each move, the old man could quickly report where the white piece should be placed without looking at the chessboard.
"In the tenth game, center point!" The last servant reported.
"Oh?" The old man was slightly stunned.
A servant who had followed immediately reported, "Manor owner, the person in this tenth game is extremely special. He is..."
"I don't care who he is. Did he solve the endgame puzzle?" The old man in white said faintly.
"He solved it. Moreover, he solved ten games simultaneously in a short time!" The servant respectfully said.
"Solved ten games simultaneously? Hahaha, good. I finally waited for a decent one!" The old man in white smiled.
"Yes!"
"In this tenth game, I place upper three five!" The old man still didn't turn back. He took a deep breath and said.
"Yes!"
The moves in the valley within a valley were quickly relayed back to the outer valley.
In the outer valley.
The ten chess players were quickly playing chess.
"Pa!"
"Pa!"
...
The pieces quickly fell. In the blink of an eye, it was noon.
At this moment, most of the surrounding chess players had gathered around Yan Chuan.
On other people's chessboards, one can see the general trend. But on Yan Chuan's chessboard, people were confused.
"This, are Grand Master Yi and this youth really playing chess?"
"This, the two people's chess games are going their own ways. This is not a real game at all!"
"Yes, this chess game is too scattered!"
"No, this is layout. The two of them are laying out against each other. The layout is so large that we can't understand it!"
...
Everyone watched quietly.
In the distance, another group of servants who came to convey messages from the valley within a valley arrived.
They quickly placed pieces on the ten chessboards.
"Ah, I lost again!"
"Alas, careless. This game is ruined again!"
"What a pity!"
On the first nine chessboards, the nine chess kings showed regret and conceded defeat by throwing in their pieces.
"Eh?" Everyone looked at Yan Chuan's table.
According to the usual rule, normally, all ten games end simultaneously with conceding defeat. Now that nine games are lost, the last game is still continuing.
Still continuing?
For this strange scene, everyone showed surprise. Then, they all gathered around.
Yan Chuan smile slightly and placed another piece.
"Pa!"
As soon as the piece fell, the servant quickly recorded it and rushed towards the valley within a valley.
In the valley within a valley. The fishing float of the old man trembled. Obviously, there was a fish biting. But the old man didn't seem to notice it.
"Manor owner, in the first nine games, all have conceded defeat!" The servant reported.
"What about the tenth game? Which position did the tenth game fall on?" The old man asked eagerly.
"Upper eight five!" The servant reported.
"Upper eight five? It's actually upper eight five?" The old man was slightly surprised.
The servants waited for the old man to report where to place the piece. But after waiting for a while, the old man didn't speak.
"Uh?" The servants were surprised.
"Grandpa?" The middle-aged man beside him asked in confusion.
You should know that grandpa has never thought for so long when playing chess.
The old man thought for a while without moving. So much so that the fish in the lake stole the bait and swam away happily.
"Upper four three!" The old man finally said affirmatively.
"Yes!" The servant quickly ran out.
At this moment, in the outer valley.
Yan Chuan stood up.
"It's noon. We should go back!" Yan Chuan said faintly.
"Yes!" Liu Jin and Huo Guang responded.
"Ah? Prince, your chess game isn't over yet!" A servant was stunned and immediately shouted.
They had never encountered someone leaving in the middle of a chess game. How could he leave? The game isn't over yet!
"Grand Tutor Yi Feng and I have already arranged our troops. Next, it's the battle between the two sides. Every step is not so easy to take. I will leave my men here. When there is a new move, inform me quickly. Then I will place a piece!" Yan Chuan said faintly.
"What? How is it possible!"
"You're bragging!"
"Does Grand Master Yi need to think when playing chess?"
...
The chess kings didn't believe it.
At this time, a servant quickly ran from the valley within a valley.
"Upper four three. The manor owner placed a piece. Upper four three!" The servant said urgently.
"Oh? Upper four three?" Yan Chuan looked at the chessboard.
After thinking for a while, Yan Chuan placed another piece.
Leaving four Brocade Army soldiers and explaining everything, Yan Chuan walked out of the valley with Huo Guang and Liu Jin.
"Let's go!"
"Giddyap!"
Yan Chuan led the Brocade Army and left in a cloud of dust, leaving behind a group of stunned chess kings.
"What's going on?" The chess kings were stunned.
In the valley within a valley, Grand Tutor Yi Feng, who was holding a fishing rod, also frowned at this moment.
"Upper five six. Upper five six?" The old man pondered.
