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

"Brother Li...

"Is Xiangheng bro okay?"

At 6:30 pm on the same day, in the chess room of Hailing Hotel.

Liu Shixian asked another question with the same sentence structure as yesterday, with a look of half amusement and half helplessness on his face.

In response to the question from the young master of the Liu family, Li Tingyan, who had just returned from the rest area, once again answered with a complicated expression:
“Well, maybe not so good.

"Now he doesn't even have the thought of reciting anything. He seems to have been hit hard. Brother Wen is still there to comfort him..."

But this time, before Old Li could finish his words, Young Master Liu smiled and continued:
"But you don't have to draw lots today, Brother Li. Why are you here again?"

"Uh……"

Li Tingyan was slightly embarrassed by the teasing of his own number one player, but he still said truthfully:

“To be honest, I came here to apologize to you, Xiao Liu!

"This time... you are the only one left in the quarterfinals! But I may still need to trouble you to work hard to win the championship!
"Xiang Heng's humiliating defeat has become the biggest topic in South Korean sports circles in recent days. In addition, we were eliminated collectively, and the media and public opinion have made it difficult for the chess academy to handle public relations.

"So, this championship of yours is very important!"

What Li Tingyan said is indeed true.

In the just-concluded Spring Orchid Cup round of 16, the performance of South Korean chess players was not satisfactory.

In addition to Xu Xiangheng being defeated by Rui Zhaosu, Li Junyan, Park Minyeol and Wen Chengzhen also lost one after another. In the end, Liu Shixian was left alone to face the siege of seven Chinese chess players, and he also had to take on the responsibility of winning back the championship to save the reputation of the chess academy, which made Lao Li feel a little guilty.

However, Young Master Liu behaved very calmly.

Anyway, for him, fighting alone is something he has seen many times, so it is not surprising. Instead, he smiled and asked:

"Oh, that's nothing! I'll do my best.

"that is……

"Brother Li, why did you three play so inconsistently in the second half of the game today?
“Could it be…

"Were you frightened by that Chinese Zhaojun?"

...

...

"Well, seniors...

"You played so-so in the second half of the game today. You were almost defeated by a 9th-dan player!"

At the same time, Hailing Hotel.

Zhu Yuanjun, the "Round Pig" who had just defeated Takuya Ichijo in a hard-fought battle, had just returned to the rest area when he was questioned by Xiong Siyi, who had finished the game early:
"Luckily you had a big lead in the first half of the set, I thought you were going to fail again this time!
"Hey, could it be that Senior Bian's being recruited to the Gezhou team has affected you?"

"Uh……"

Zhu Yuanjun looked a little embarrassed: what Xiong Siyi was asking about was indeed something that had been bothering him recently.

Originally, with the recent improvement of the strength of the young player Peng Wendong, who was promoted to the ninth dan, the configuration of the Xidu team reached "ninety-nine-nine-eight" and it was already in the top level on paper. Next season, it was fully capable of competing with strong teams such as Dajing, Qiantang, and Tiangang. Therefore, the team's main player Zhu Yuanjun could not help but be full of confidence and planned to see if there was a chance to challenge the championship of the Weiqi League with his teammates next year.

But who would have thought that playing Go with money could kill people!
Last year, Gezhou City, which tasted the sweetness of Go culture and tourism through the great success of the Tongge Cup, did not abide by martial ethics and directly increased investment in the city's Go-related industries! It also put forward higher performance requirements for the Gezhou team.

The Gezhou team, whose previous performance had not been ideal, immediately gained confidence after receiving financial support. Through some operations and contacts, they quickly snatched Bian Lele, whose contract with the Xidu team had just ended. As a result, the "Galaxy Battleship" of the Xidu team collapsed halfway through its business, and the number of nine-dan chess players decreased to two, which made Zhu Yuanjun very depressed.

However, although Yuanzhu has been in a bad mood recently, his poor performance in the second half of today was not due to this reason:

"...Uh, it's not because of that. It's mainly because Old Xu had been slapping himself a lot earlier, which distracted me a little.

"I really didn't expect that at the time - Rui Zhao not only defeated An Mingjiao yesterday, but also defeated Old Xu today? And it was a quick victory?!
"It made me dizzy for a while, and I couldn't play the second half of the game well!
"But it's a relief that Takuya Ichijo can sit still in the face of this situation..." "Huh? Why can't he sit still?"

Xiong Siyi didn't feel anything was wrong:
"Although Xu Xiangheng Jiudan's overall strength is higher, it's not surprising that Xiao Xiong Er won, right?"

...?
When Yuanzhu heard this, a question mark slowly appeared on his head.

Nothing strange?
Little Bear, did you do something wrong?!
Zhu Yuanjun's facial muscles twitched slightly. It was rare for him, usually smooth-talking, to argue with Xiong Siyi.

"Uh, little bear, this seems a little weird, doesn't it?
"Rui Zhao has defeated too many 9th-dan players recently!
"I won against Guanye in the last round of the Weiqi League regular season, defeated Park Min-yeol in the relegation battle, won a big victory over Tao Chen in the Tianyuan Tournament qualifiers, easily defeated An Mingjiao yesterday, and ended a series of records of Liu Shixian in the Nongshim Cup! The only one I lost to was Dai Gong in the middle!

"The above records are outrageous enough, and she just beat Xu Xiangheng again...

"Even the Ice Queen from South Korea can't beat a 9th-dan player so often!"

Silly Heitian still didn't think there was anything wrong and answered very naturally:

"It's not surprising, this just proves that Little Bear is stronger than Kim Woo Eun!

"Right, Senior Sun!"

"what?"

Hua Xia Yi Xian, who was suddenly called on and defeated Ueno Touichiro easily today, was slightly stunned, then nodded and said:
“Well, there’s really nothing strange about it.

"I have practiced a lot with Rui Zhao, and I think that even in slow chess, she should be better than Jin Youen now - if we talk about fast chess, she is far ahead!

"Today's victory over Lao Xu is definitely a case of the underdog defeating the superior, but it's nothing to be surprised about!

"She's not me. There are so many things she can do to win..."

"This……"

Zhu Yuanjun suddenly felt that it was difficult to communicate with this monkey and fool in front of him. He, who was always introverted, could not control himself:

“Hey, hey…

"Xiao Xiong, Sun Yi! This is a female chess player who beats a male first-tier 9th dan again!
“In the past, even if it happened once, it would be just a small news!

"But don't you think this 'news' is happening a little too often recently?!
"Especially, in crucial events like the Weiqi League relegation battle, the Nongshim Cup, and the World Championships! I don't think it's strange to be a little surprised!"

"Well……

"If it happens too often, it won't be called news anymore!"

Silly Heitian blinked, exuding a clear and innocent feeling:
"Seniors, you still haven't adapted! Play more chess with Little Bear in the future. It'll be fine if you lose more!
"Oh, right! When Jin Youen won the world runner-up, didn't she beat you?
"I believe that if you lose to Little Bear II once, you won't be surprised anymore!"

"..."

Hearing this, Yuanzhu was speechless for a moment.

What kind of outrageous remarks are these!
Losing to Kim Woo-eun and sending a female chess player to the world runner-up position was originally a major black history in Zhu Yuanjun's career, and he has not been able to completely let it go until now.

And just recently, Rui Zhao's words and actions at the Weiqi League award ceremony. Although Yuanzhu didn't say anything, he did feel that Rui Zhao was a bit arrogant.

As a result, in this situation, Little Bear actually told him "It's okay to lose once"? !

Sun Yi also didn’t think there was anything wrong? ! !
Even his opponent today, Takuya Ichijo, merely raised his eyes when Xu Xiangheng started slapping himself, and then continued to focus on the chessboard, as if it was no big deal!
…This can’t be my own problem!!!

For a moment, Yuanzhu was almost shaken by what Sha Heitian said. He quickly took out his cell phone and planned to go to the Yigu Forum to see the direction of public opinion.

After all, if he couldn't find some people who shared the same views as him, he would never be able to figure out who the weird Empress Zhaotian was...

...It's still him. (End of this chapter)
