Go: The live broadcast queen launched a gorgeous rebellion against the dog

Chapter 371 Commander
"Hey!

"We are going to Dongjiang again..."

February 2th is the ninth day of the first lunar month.

Japan, Dongdu City.

On the flight about to fly to Dongjiang, China, Shindo Hiroaki sighed helplessly.

Xia Chuanqiu, who was sitting next to him, heard his old friend's deep emotion and couldn't help asking:
"What's wrong?
"This is...what do you feel?"

Shindo Hiroaki gave a wry smile and then began to talk incessantly:

“To be honest, I have forgotten how many times I have gone to Dongjiang to participate in the third stage of the competition, but these are indeed not very good memories…

"In the third stage of the Nongshim Cup, I only won one game in all these years. The rest of the time I was beaten by the masters from China and South Korea.

“Even when I won four games in a row the year before last, it was all in the second stage. When we got to Dongjiang… I lost the first set.

"Dongjiang... is really not my blessed land!"

Xia Chuan Aoi couldn't help but laugh:

"From what you said... you don't want to come to Dongjiang?"

But who would have thought that the Japanese throne, who had extensive experience in international sandbag competitions, immediately shook his head:
"No, no, of course I want to come!

“It’s okay to be beaten, but it’s good to be here.

"The two times I didn't make it, we lost every time... that was too embarrassing!"

"what……"

Natsukawa Aoi, who accidentally touched her old friend's sad moment, felt a little embarrassed for a moment, but then she patted Shindo's shoulder and said energetically:
"fine!
"This time our men's and women's teams have both won their next game! We've avoided the worst situation!"

"Although letting Yitiao take the lead and defeat Zhao Suxuan... this is indeed not something to be proud of!"

Shindo Hiroaki raised his eyebrows, his tone was so helpless:
"But, Aoi...

"You played the last game of the second stage... really beautifully!"

"Ah, it's all thanks to your help!
"If you and the old man hadn't tried every means to help me, I probably wouldn't be able to control that child at my age..."

The female Honinbo chuckled, then seemed to have thought of something, touched the other person's elbow and said:
"Hey! I heard the old man say...

"During the second stage, you proposed to go into battle early as the deputy general and to defeat Lei Qi to motivate me? Is that true?"

"Ah this..."

Jinto was a little embarrassed, and secretly complained about why his chairman told everything to others!

"I, that's all I said at the time...

"The main reason is that I really want to take advantage of the fact that the other party is fighting continuously to teach Lei Qi a lesson and save some face.

"After all, the overall influence of the Nongshim Cup is much greater than that of the Lakeside Cup."

However, Natsukawa Aoi seemed to have not heard anything and continued to speak as if she was talking to herself:
"Hehe, it was me who won the title first to encourage you! But now you have taken over the initiative!
"Shinto has really grown up!"

“Please…

"I won't say anything else. In terms of age, I am three years older than you..."

Jindou was too lazy to argue with his old friend about this matter, so he just complained helplessly but familiarly.

There's no way, we are too familiar with each other.

The friendship between the two parties can be traced back to 2007.

The two fashionable and young players met in the final of the Nakano Cup U20 Youth Cup in Japan.

At that time, Shindo Hiroaki was very surprised that his opponent this time would be a 15-year-old girl.

Natsukawa Aoi showed her usual energetic style. She was not afraid of her opponent who had already won the championship twice. Before the game, she said in various ways that she must beat Shindo.

Although the final was one-sided, the two became close friends and moved forward side by side in the Japanese chess world.

In November 2008, the sixteen-year-old Natsukawa Aoi won her first title in her life, the Joryū Honinbo, and began her more than ten-year dominance over the Japanese women's chess world.

A year later, the 20-year-old Shindo Hiroaki also won the "Meijin" title, and his journey to dominate the seven major titles in the country began.

In the more than ten years that followed, the two won countless titles in the country and became iconic figures in Japanese male and female Go.

...

However, in the face of his old friend's retreat, Xia Chuan Aoi still pursued him relentlessly:

“Um…Shinto, why are you still so shy?
"I thought you would be more mature after becoming the 26th Honinbo Hiromitsu-sama!"

"I've always been mature, okay!"

"Oh, really?
"Haku-Kuang-sama-kun~"

Hearing the other party calling him by his honorary Honinbo name so deliberately, Shindo Hiroaki knew what it meant, but he had no way of refutation, so he had to find a way to force a change of subject.

And at that moment, Shindo Hiroaki also remembered that he still had something to tell his old friend:

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore!
"Aoi... there's something you need to prepare yourself for."

"Ok?"

Seeing that the other party had temporarily stopped joking, Shindo Hiroaki continued:
"It's still... about the last game of chess between you and Rui Zhao in the second stage.

"The 'response plan' we came up with last time did succeed in the end, but it did involve too many people...

“Although the chairman has strictly ordered all participants not to disclose the information to the outside, after all, too many people are involved.

"It's probably only a matter of time before the truth of this matter comes to light."

Hearing this, Natsukawa Aoi immediately understood what Shindo Hiroaki meant.

The game in which she won against Rui Zhao has been one of the key publicity focuses of Dongying Chess Academy in recent times.

The external propaganda slogans of the chess academy are such as "Our female Honinbo's sword is still as sharp as ever", "Facing the opponent's vanguard when his momentum is at its peak", "The number one female player who tenaciously reversed the future", and so on.

But if the public knew that this game was won by using the opponent's massive live broadcast materials, calling on most of the chess academies to refine the materials, reviewing and summarizing each game, and finally having the three strongest male chess players in Japan give targeted opinions...

By then, as the person involved, Aoi Natsukawa will probably be subject to some criticism and controversy.

"…It's okay, it's no big deal!"

After hesitating for two seconds, Xia Chuanqiu acted as if she didn't care at all: "As for history, people will only remember the victors.

"Both South Korea and China have leaders who are good at using tricks. But despite the controversy, mainstream opinion still focuses on the number of world champions they have won and praises them as masters of their generation.

“And what we do… I think is much less controversial than what they do.”

“That’s… that’s what I mean.”

Shindo pursed his lips, obviously still worried about the other person.

"But I'm afraid some chess fans in China won't be able to accept this contrast for a while."

"There is nothing we can do about it..."

Xiachuan Aoi sighed softly:
“In competitive sports, results are everything.

"With our current achievements, retaining some face and hope for further development is already the limit of what we can do... We can't expect to be perfect in everything."

"Um……"

Jindou nodded slightly, and his eyes couldn't help but lowered.

As the leader of the top Go players in Japan, how could he not know the current helplessness of Go in his country!

This time, Xia Chuanqiu put aside his pride, and most of the chess academy mobilized urgently to win this victory, all for the sake of "face" and "hope"...

However, just as Shindo Hiroaki was feeling helpless, his arm was elbowed by an old friend beside him:
"Besides...you don't have to worry too much!
"Aren't we still in the ring?"

"……Eh?"

The Japanese throne didn't react immediately.

Natsukawa Aoi continued to explain:
"that is!

"If we can knock down the world's number one man and woman, then even if we overreacted a bit when dealing with Rui Zhao before, it won't be a big deal!"

Xiachuan Aoi looked at Shindo Hiroaki with a smile, appearing very confident:

"Didn't you say earlier that you might be able to defeat Liu Shixian? Why are you not confident now?"

Hearing this, Shindo Hiroaki was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help laughing:

"You're right!
“As long as we can beat Liu Shixian this time… we can get second place again!
“Well, it’s just like what Uesaka said before!

"It is our duty to restore Japan's glory!"

"That's right! That's it!

"Fight!"

...

...

At the same time, Ingang Airport, the capital of South Korea.

Just as the captains of the Japanese men's and women's teams were about to leave for China, a not-so-conspicuous team of six was also preparing to board an international flight to Dongjiang City, China.

It can be seen that everyone in the team is not in high spirits, as if they are about to complete an impossible task, so their footsteps seem a little heavy.

There was only one young man who still had his signature gentle smile on his face, and his every move was filled with a sense of relaxation, which made him stand out from the other members of the team.

"Sister Youen, let me help you put your luggage up there!"

After getting on the plane, the gentle young man took the initiative to speak to another short-haired woman in the team.

"what……"

Just as the Ice Queen was about to make some pleasantries, she saw the young man had already placed the small suitcase on the luggage rack. His movements were very quick and there was no sense of being spoiled at all.

"Ah, thank you..."

Seeing that the other party had already done so, Jin Youen thanked him honestly and found his seat and sat down.

However, seeing the world's number one man so calm and composed, the Ice Queen couldn't help but complain a little:
“It’s…Xiao Liu.

"You are so... relaxed!"

"Hmm? Why don't you relax?"

Young Master Liu also sat down next to the captain of the female team, not thinking there was anything wrong with it.

Jin Youen frowned slightly and explained:
"But... the schedule for the next few days won't be easy at all!"

Young Master Liu shrugged slightly.

"It's not easy... but you can't blame me for that! So why should I be so nervous?"

"Uh……

"But no matter what, it will be much more difficult to defend the title in this tournament..."

“Of course I want to defend my title!
"But if we really can't defend our title, it can't be blamed on me, right?"

"..."

Jin Youen didn't know what to say for a moment.

Although the truth... is this truth.

But now the situation of the ring match is so unfavorable, and the fact that the young master of the Liu family, as the main general, has such a good mentality still makes it difficult for the Ice Queen to comment.

He really is worthy of being the one who could perform the "Flying Kao" move in that "life and death game" with Lei Qi!

Just as Jin Youen was secretly sighing, Young Master Liu continued:
"Besides, the current situation is not something to worry about, but rather...

"This is a very rare opportunity!"

"Chance?"

"Yes!"

Liu Shixian chuckled and said:

“Such a stage where I can perform to my heart’s content…

"But even Senior Choi Myeong-ho has never met this before!"
