Sheng Fu

Qu Li brought the chessboard and chess pieces.

Yuwen Jun plays the black pieces, and Qiu Qing plays the white pieces.

This time, Qiu Qing rolled up his sleeves, which was rare, and was ready to do a great job.

Seeing this, Yuwen Jun thought of the bluffing in the art of war, but Qiu Qing's breath was very steady, like the slowly surging of an endless sea.

Yuwen Jun made the first move, followed closely by Qiu Qing.

In the first thirty moves, there will not be any flaws. Only after thirty moves can things gradually get on the right track.

The house was quiet and peaceful, with only the sound of chess pieces falling.

Before he knew it, thirty moves had passed. An intriguing smile appeared on Qiu Qing's face. He had not expected that Yu Wenjun's chess skills had improved so rapidly. After thirty moves, he was still as solid as a rock without any flaws.

Yu Wenjun was fully focused and did not dare to be careless in the slightest.

Gradually, both of them got a hundred hands.

Yuwen Jun's speed of making moves suddenly slowed down, while Qiu Qing's speed of making moves was faster than Yuwen Jun's.

When it comes to chess skills, a difference of one level in skill can make a world of difference.

Occasionally, the weak can defeat the strong, just because there is a difference of half a level of skill.

Qiu Qing made his move tonight, like an old man, telling the stories of his experiences and past events over the years. He was very calm, without any sadness or prospects for the future.

The years are gentle and quiet, like an ancient piece of gold.

Sweat gradually seeped out of Yu Wenjun's forehead. Every time he made a move, he had to consider it carefully for a long time before making it with a little reluctance. However, Qiu Qing made every move without any hesitation.

……

Later in the night.

Fine beads of sweat oozed out of Yu Wenjun's forehead, and Qiu Qing's cheeks were also slightly sweaty.

A cup of Jiangshanhong was placed on Qiuqing's right hand side, while Yuwen Jun had a cup of Xueyu Piaoxiang. He needed to be quiet for a while.

Looking at the situation on the chessboard, Yuwen Jun fell into deep thought. He had no advantage, nor was he at a disadvantage. The two of them faced off, but it was like a pool of stagnant water, without any vitality, which made people feel a little boring.

But if you are not careful, this stagnant water will turn into a raging sea.

After playing chess with the Demon Lord, Yu Wenjun realized that his chess skills had increased rapidly, but he knew very well that he was still no match for Qiu Qing. But even if he was no match, the gap would be much smaller compared to the last time.

But in fact, it has not decreased much.

It was even left intact. Yu Wenjun then realized that the Prime Minister was just playing around with him last time, but this time, he was serious.

As Qiu Qing placed a piece, Yu Wenjun frowned. He did not expect Qiu Qing to place a piece in such an unimportant position. But looking at the overall situation, this piece was still unimportant.

Why?

After carefully deducing it in his mind, he still couldn't come up with a specific answer.

Immediately afterwards, Yu Wenjun also subconsciously chose an unimportant position to place his move.

Sometimes you need to imitate your opponent in order to seize that slight chance of defeating him.

Seeing this, Qiu Qing smiled casually and then quickly placed a move.

This time, it is still in an insignificant position.

Yu Wenjun was confused at the moment, and then decided to change his mind and move to the Central Plains.

Seeing this, Qiu Qing fell into deep thought.

Sometimes a chess player is really thinking, and sometimes he is just pretending to be thinking in order to disturb his opponent's state of mind.

As for why Qiu Qing was in deep thought this time, it was difficult to judge.

Yu Wenjun's eyes look at his nose, his nose looks at his mouth, his mouth looks at his heart, he follows the way of nature, his demeanor is like a young sculpture. ...

early morning.

With the death of Qiu Qing, there was no hope for Yu Wenjun.

Yu Wenjun held a chess piece in his hand and said with a bitter smile: "The wisdom gained from the baptism of wind and frost over the years is definitely not obtained by taking shortcuts. Even if you grasp the main idea, it will be difficult to grasp the many subtle essences."

"Been taught a lesson."

Qiu Qing stood up and stretched, while Yu Wenjun stood up and handed Qiu Qing a cup of hot tea, saying, "The kitchen is busy now. Although it's breakfast, it can be more substantial. Just treat it as a banquet just for you and me."

The Prime Minister took the teacup and took a sip, then said, "Jiangshanhong is Bai Xiaowei's favorite tea."

"This tea is good. It is very nourishing to the heart and spirit. But I always feel that he is still young and not yet at the age to nourish the heart and spirit."

Yu Wenjun pondered, "But precisely because I am young, I need to nourish my mind and spirit even more. Perhaps one day I will suddenly realize something, which is indescribable."

Qiu Qing laughed and said, "That does make some sense."

"In that case, stay and have breakfast with you."

Qiu Qing was honest and incorruptible throughout his life. Apart from banquets in the palace, he never attended banquets anywhere else. At most, he would go out to eat with Pu Weiqing.

The restaurants we went to were places frequented by ordinary people.

Yu Wenjun smiled and said, "I may have to return to Henglong Mountain at noon, so the meal we had this morning was also a coincidence. If it were any other time, it would be difficult to have a meal with you."

"After leaving the Imperial Capital this time, I will not return to the Imperial Capital in the short term."

The two moved to the tea table and sat down one after another.

Qiu Qing said: "You have made outstanding achievements in this battle. His Majesty will reward you. Your construction of Hengchang Academy in Qiushui County has been settled. The Minister of War Kong Chong will personally go to your Henglong Mountain to present the reward."

"Speaking of which, this is also Kong Chong's first time going to Henglong Mountain."

"This time, even if we have a disagreement, don't use lightning to strike him."

Yu Wenjun said implicitly: "Even if Kong Chong doesn't like me this time, he won't offend me verbally. If he really gets angry, I will definitely not beat him up in Henglong Mountain."

Qiu Qing said jokingly, "I hope Kong Chong can be more tactful this time, otherwise he will be beaten again."

Yu Wenjun added: "And he will let him know who beat him up, but he has no evidence to prove who did it."

Qiu Qing laughed and said, "That makes sense. I believe you can do such a thing."

Soon after, Qu Li brought his servants and began to prepare breakfast.

Twenty-four vegetarian dishes, twelve meat dishes, and four soups.

The dishes are eye-catching, like clusters of flowers in spring.

Seeing this, Qiu Qing couldn't help but say, "This is a bit too extravagant."

Yu Wenjun said: "There are many dishes, but the portions are small. This night of hand-to-hand conversation with you has consumed too much of my energy. I really could eat a lot."

Qiu Qing asked suspiciously, "Can we finish eating this whole table?"

Yu Wenjun said firmly: "Of course you can."

"You are the elder, you should start eating first."

Qiu Qing did not refuse and picked up a piece of meat and put it in his bowl.

"It's great to be young and to have money." Qiu Qing sighed sincerely.

Yu Wenjun said: "No one can have a deep understanding of youth when they are young. Some wonderful scenery can only be seen at a certain stage." (End of this chapter)
