Chapter 262

"Are you sure... you want to go alone?"

After hearing what Rui Zhao said just now, Wen Xuefei was a little hesitant.

"This is your first ring match, and your first time competing abroad! Aren't you nervous going alone?"

On the evening of September 9, while the men were holding the Nongshim Cup meeting, the five girls participating in the Lakeside Cup were also having a video conference.

Rui Zhao will play as a vanguard, this was decided by Wen Xuefei and the Chinese coaching staff long ago.

However, when discussing "who to arrange to go in the first phase", Rui Zhao took the initiative to propose to go alone, which surprised Wen Xuefei.

“I think it’s nothing!”

The bright girl answered naturally.

"Although it is indeed a very important match, the intensity is still far less than that of the qualifying match..."

“I believe you?!
"Why are you pretending to be so high and mighty when you have won all the qualifying matches?"

Before Rui Zhao could finish, the little witch, who had always been intolerant of Queen Zhao, started roaring like a lion cub, causing Rui Zhao to shrink his head a little.

"...But, I really think the qualifying tournament is much more difficult..."

"You're still pretending! Is it a big deal to win all the qualifying matches? If I were eighteen, I could do the same..."

"Man Jing, that's enough!!
"If you don't obey my orders again, I won't allow you to go out, whether to Japan or South Korea!"

"Uh……"

It was not until Wen Xuefei's scolding was heard that the little witch reluctantly stopped talking.

Wen Xuefei's forehead twitched slightly, and his expression was a little ugly at this time:

It's fine if a sheep and a bird don't get along with each other, but why are you two little ones fighting?!

Like me and Lao Wang! Back then, there was no such thing as...

So……

……Well.

hiss--

Never mind...it's okay then.

Recalling some of her actions when she was young and energetic, Wen Xuefei suddenly felt that Chinese women's Go also has some traditional arts that are constantly being passed down.

"Well, let me go too."

After clearing his throat, Wen Xuefei said:
“Firstly, I am the captain, so it is more appropriate for me to be present.

"Secondly, Rui Zhao is a newcomer after all, and I'm afraid he might be upset."

"Then I'll go with you!" Yang Manjing raised his hand on the spot.

However... Wen Xuefei directly rejected the little witch's request.

"Goodbye, Man Jing, you should stay in China first. We can discuss and communicate via video. Get your visa done first. If you are really needed, we can buy a ticket and fly to Dongdu in time.

"I just got the news that Lei Qi will go alone for the first stage of the men's mission this time.

"The men will send one player, but if we send three women, it will seem a bit too hypocritical to the outside world, which is not good..."

"Just Lei Qi?"

Hearing this, Zou Yang was a little surprised.
"This is……?"

"He is the captain and the pioneer."

With just eight simple words, Wen Xuefei explained the whole situation clearly.

"pioneer……"

When Liu Yuhong heard these two words, he couldn't help but frown.

She was not surprised that Lei Qi was appointed as the captain - Liu Yuhong knew that Shang Chaotian intended to train Lei Qi outside the game, and especially looking at the list of participants this time, Lei Qi was the most suitable candidate.

But the idea of ​​letting Lei Qi serve as the vanguard made Liu Yuhong secretly worried.

Because after Lin Ruixin gave up participating in this year's Nongshim Cup, Lei Qi, the new world champion and [Go Saint] challenger, is undoubtedly the most important trump card of the Chinese team this year!
Although he has been in poor form recently, the extremely high ceiling he showed in the first three games of the Chess Saint Tournament is still the biggest reliance of the Chinese team in defeating the world's number one player in this Nongshim Cup. The normal approach is definitely to send other people to play while letting Lei Qi work hard to get back to form.

But... the man actually let Lei Qi be the vanguard?
This almost directly indicates that Lei Qi believes that his form is unlikely to return in the short term, so he directly puts himself in the vanguard position when he is in poor form!

Xiao Lei... Is his flow still not working...

Liu Yuhong, who didn't know the details, muttered to himself, then remembered the sudden incident during the first round of the rapid chess game, and couldn't help but look at the extremely beautiful girl on the screen.

Could it be... as the rumors say, it's because of such a ridiculous reason?
But if that's the case, Xiao Lei and Rui Zhao will go out as the vanguard together...

Really...it won't be affected?
...

…"Isn't it just the next game? What impact does it have?"

September 9, Mid-Autumn Festival, 29pm.

Lei Qi, who was having a reunion dinner with his parents at home, answered the sudden question as if nothing had happened.

"Although this is my first time playing in the Nongshim Cup, I have participated in three world championships and won a championship, so I won't be stage-frightened."

After hearing their son's answer, Lei Jingming and his wife looked at each other, and finally Qin Xiaoxue continued to ask:
"But... son, this time the Nongshim Cup and the Lakeside Cup are co-hosted. Every day, the Lakeside Cup will be held in the morning and the Nongshim Cup will be held in the afternoon. We will basically see each other every day with your women's team. This..."

"What's wrong? Can a member of the female team eat me?"

Lei Qi smiled softly, maintaining his tone very well.

This answer completely confused Lei Jingming and his wife.

He acts as if nothing happened when asked this many questions. If you ask again, I'll make things worse!

However, when the two were a little hesitant, Lei Qi took the initiative to say:
"Oh, by the way, Dad, I remembered something!

"During the Pinghu Rapid Chess Tournament, I helped Uncle Shan Gang and went to commentate on Rui Zhao's game for him!

"After I finish the Nongshim Cup and LIG Cup, and my performance in the Weiqi League is more stable, let's use this as an excuse to go find him together, right?

"See if he's willing to talk to the Dongjiang team and spend some money to borrow me from the Dajing team. That way I can stay in Dongjiang longer."

"what?"

Lei Jingming never expected his son to suddenly bring up something that neither he nor his wife dared to ask. He was stunned for a moment before responding:
"Oh, no, no problem!
"Hey! Don't wait until later, let's go find him during the National Day holiday!"

"No, no!"

Lei Qi hurriedly persuaded his father:

"I still have to prepare for the Nongshim Cup these days! I don't want to be distracted by this!

"What's more, I only have one win and three losses in this season's Weiqi League. If we go to find him now and he uses his record to block us, what can we say?"

"Uh... OK, I'll do as you say!"

Seeing that what his son said made sense, Lei Jingming naturally responded.

But Lei Qi hadn't finished speaking yet:
"And, Dad!
"I don't care about some things anymore. You and mom don't need to be so careful. Just don't give me any problems. It's normal to talk about it in general!"

"what?"

Lei Jingming could not help but be stunned again, until he received a look from his wife, and then he quickly nodded and said:
"Oh! Don't worry, your parents will always stand by you!"

Lei Qi couldn't help but laugh:

"Thank you both for your understanding!

"That's great. I'm almost done eating now, so I'll go back to my room and practice chess."

"what?"

Qin Xiaoxue blinked several times quickly:
"Son, today is Mid-Autumn Festival! Are you still practicing?

“How about we take a break tonight and go shopping together?

"It just so happens that you are old enough to get a driver's license, and you can already look at the car!"

"No, Mom!
"I'm the captain this time, I can't let those older players make a fool of themselves! It's always a good idea to be more prepared."

Lei Qi made a small joke, then put his dishes in the kitchen. After greeting his parents again, he went straight back to his room.

However, the moment he closed the door of the room, the boy took a deep breath.

What he just said to his parents, “There are some things I don’t care about anymore,” was of course a lie.

Although the impact of the Chess Saint War incident on him was slowly fading, the young man understood that if he wanted to get rid of the influence as quickly and completely as possible, he needed to put an end to this matter.

What he needed was not Shang Chaotian's "apology" like coaxing a child!
He wanted to let his mentor know that he was the one who deserved to be cherished and valued more!
This Rui Zhao is not a vase...

Then just make her look like a vase!

Lei Qi made up his mind and walked to the computer, ready to continue fighting with the AI.

However, before starting a new game, he took ten seconds to open Bilibili and glanced at the live broadcast room of [Go Xiaozhao], only to find that the girl had returned to the camera and continued to live broadcast her online chess practice, saying almost nothing the whole time, just as she had said before dinner half an hour ago.

Although this boring live broadcast method has only a few viewers, there are indeed people watching it. The girl just hangs in the background like hanging QQ and just completes the task.

The night of Mid-Autumn Festival is full of rolls...

You are a young and beautiful girl, how could you really do that?

Lei Qi sighed secretly, thinking that if he wanted to achieve his current goal, he would have to risk his life.
