Chapter 897 We are in big trouble!
"hiss--

"Why did Chairman Shang have such a fake smile on his face when he presented the award to the Queen?!"

At 11:3 pm on November rd, Mida Plaza Hotel, Zhengze City, China.

Zeng Guangwen, who was watching the final award ceremony of this year's Changqi Cup in the audience, couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Logically, Rui Zhao is the absolute most popular star in the Chinese Go Association. Her contributions cover all aspects including achievements, publicity, sponsorship, etc. She is the type of person who is so accomplished that even Shang Chaotian has to be polite when he sees her!
To be frank, if Rui Zhao asks for the position of Chairman of the Chess Association now, King Shang will probably have to step down!

As a result, this time when Rui Zhaoxin won the Changqi Cup, this old Deng looked fake-smiled and sad... This...

Could it be that Chairman Shang has also started to learn from Emperor Gaozu of Tang and try to balance things?

Thinking of this, Zeng Shabao couldn't help but mutter to himself.

However, Comrade Xigou thought about it a little and felt that it was not the case.

Who the hell wants to be the chairman of the chess association, a hard job with no benefits?

To put it bluntly, it's not as comfortable as the diva's dog pussy under my ass!
It’s just that the amount of training before was indeed a bit too much…

Well……

Why is Chairman Shang faking his smile? !
Although the dog under the Queen's seat felt strange, he didn't worry too much about it - he still had a mission to complete!

We must act quickly while the master is in a good mood!
When Rui Zhao returned to his seat after receiving his award on stage, Comrade Xigou, who had chosen to sit next to his master, immediately came up to congratulate him:
"Congratulations, Queen! You've won your fifth national championship!

"Winning five national championships before the age of 22, to be honest, your speed of winning championships is already very, very terrifying! In history, only three leaders, Chairman Shang, Lin Dazui and Xiao Lei, have ever done this! It can be said to be a leader-level achievement!

"It is not impossible for you to become the Queen of Heaven in the future!"

Rui Zhao, who was simple-minded, was naturally a little confused by the praise from his own dog:

"Shen Deng... Dabao?"

"Uh... that is to say...

"Follow Taizong's example! Kill Xiao Lei! Become the leader of the new generation!"

Comrade Xigou, who was just comparing Shang Chaotian and Emperor Gaozu of Tang in his mind, now has his mind full of the Xuanwu Gate plot.

"Become... a leader?"

Rui Zhao tilted his head slightly to this statement, as if thinking about something, and then carefully asked the dog-headed military advisor:
"Then, if I were to lead the army...

“Is there a chance to become the best in history?”

"……ah?!
"The best in history?!"

Zeng Xigou was a little confused after hearing this - because Rui Zhao's words had so many flaws that he didn't know where to start.

And although he always felt that it was only a matter of time before Rui Zhao won the World Championship...but the best in history?
For a team that hasn't even won the World Championship, isn't this a big step?!

However, as a chosen dog under the throne, Zeng Guangwen might not know why Rui Zhao asked this, but he knew very well: since the master asked, he definitely had this idea!
What are you waiting for?
If you don't hurry up and prepare the yellow robe to put on your master, you are totally lacking in vision!

"That's natural!
"Just as one must ascend the throne to become the greatest emperor of all time, one must first become the leader of a country if one wants to be the best in history!
"If the Queen has this intention, I will lead the charge for her!

"In the celebrity competition that will begin soon, I will do my best to defeat Little Thunder Monkey King and ensure the eternal prosperity of the Queen Mother's country!"

"……Eh?"

Although Zeng Guangwen's words were just that, and he himself did not think he could do it, this imposing statement still made Rui Zhao's eyes flash with panic, and then he quickly waved his hand and said:
“That’s not necessary!

"This year's Celebrity Tournament is the tournament I've been preparing for! I didn't even sign up for the LIG Cup qualifiers just for it!
"If only... no! Brother Zeng comes, then I won't be very happy even if I defend my title..."

……Well……

Although I know that you are starting to think I am a bad player when we practice slow chess together...

But do you have to show your disdain so obviously?
Zeng Guangwen complained in his heart, but he did not forget the main business.

Seeing that the topic had come to an end, Zeng Guangwen, fearing that there would be more changes, quickly directed the matter to what his old friend had told him before:
“I always try my best, I always try my best!

"Well, there is something else I want to discuss with you, Queen. Would you be so kind as to condescend to me?"

"What's going on?"

"It's like this: Aren't we going to Xidu City to participate in the eighth round of Weiqi League the day after tomorrow?

"This time when we go back to Xidu, Queen...

"Would you do me the honor of meeting an old acquaintance?"

...

...

"……What?!
"You said you met someone who looked very similar to Bai Yinhua?!"

Two days passed in a flash.

On the afternoon of November 11th, the day before the eighth round of the Weiqi League, Yan Hui was in a suite at the Shengtang International Hotel in Xidu City.

After hearing the reason given by Peng Wendong for being late for the combat meeting, Xidu team captain Zhu Yuanjun couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Yes, Jun-ge!"

Seeing his teammates' surprise, Peng Wendong continued to explain to them:

"It's at the teahouse on the first floor of the hotel! I saw it when I just passed by!
"No matter how I look at that guy, I think he looks like him, except that he's a little darker and has thicker stubble!
"I was curious, so I went over to ask, and they really looked alike!
"But I don't know why he kept saying that I was wrong and that he didn't know me. He just kept delaying for a while... I don't know if he really was wrong or just didn't want to bother with me..."

"Uh... both are possible!" After a brief pause, Yuanzhu gave his own judgment:
"After all, he caused quite a stir back then. It's normal for him to not want to be recognized by people in the industry after such an incident."

"Indeed, I would not be able to stay in this circle!"

Xue Zhenju, who was at the side, echoed:

"At the beginning, Bai Yinhua was doing things with the intention of taking revenge on society and destroying other people's jobs!

"It was also thanks to Queen Zhaotian that she defeated him in the first round of the final competition, otherwise who knows how much trouble would have been caused!"

However, when talking about the Bai Yinhua incident, Xue Zhenju paused, and then asked in confusion:

“But then again, I haven’t heard of Bai Yinhua’s name for a long time—it seems like no one mentioned him after the incident.

"Obviously Rui Zhao is so popular right now, and the City Cup match was the battle that made Queen Zhao famous! But it seems that none of the related reports mentioned Bai Yinhua's name! It's really weird!"

"Brother Xue, you don't know this!"

Zhu Yuanjun continued:

"After the Bai Yinhua incident, the association specifically asked the media and forums in the industry to delete all discussion posts and news related to the incident, and tried to avoid talking about Bai Yinhua afterwards - just like some of the things that happened to Mr. Wu in the past.

"On one hand, Bai Yinhua's incident did expose many problems in the development of professional Go, and too much discussion will have an impact on the development of the industry.

"On the other hand, after Bai Yinhua was defeated by Rui Zhao, he surrendered and did not continue to cause trouble in other amateur competitions to embarrass the association. The association also gave him a way out and at least allowed him to retain some reputation. So his name is not seen anywhere.

"If you ask new chess fans in the past two years, they probably only know that Rui Zhao defeated a former professional in the City Cup, but if you ask them who it was, they won't be able to answer - after all, the record of that game has never been found."

"Hmm... I didn't expect there was such a saying! Then... ah!

"Coach Ren!"

Peng Wendong wanted to continue the gossip, but he didn't expect that Xidu team coach Ren Qiang, who had just gone out to answer the phone, came back with a frown on his face, which made Peng Wendong, who was already late, stop talking:
"I'm sorry, Coach Ren, I'm late! Mainly because I just..."

But at this time, Ren Qiang seemed to have no intention of caring about this little matter at all.

He waved his hand and looked at Zhu Yuanjun very seriously:

"Stop talking about these trivial things! Let's talk about business first!

"Yuan Jun, this round of competition's main stage...it's up to you!"

"???"

Hearing this, several question marks instantly appeared on Yuanzhu's head:

"It's not Coach Ren! Didn't we say this before Dong came? Let's continue with the game!
"Oh, of course! That doesn't mean I don't dare to fight her, Queen Zhaotian!
“Just objectively speaking, I think it was very reasonable for Pengze team to adopt the horse racing strategy when facing Lei Qi, Rui Zhao and Sun Yi, who are recognized as the top three in the country.

"These three are all very strong in their ability to suppress others! Especially Rui Zhao, who is known as the trash harvester and the best at bullying weak players. It is basically impossible to win without preparing the flying knives!

"I'm basically a loser against her strength and weakness identification device, so I might as well use the substitute players to practice!"

However, Ren Qiang's tone remained firm:

"But Rui Zhao criticized us male team members' horse racing twice in a row, and the impact has not been very good..."

"If she says no horse racing, then no horse racing. Doesn't that make us look very embarrassed?"

Zhu Yuanjun still has a clear conscience:
"Right, ask Dong?"

"Yeah coach!"

Peng Wendong echoed this righteously:

"As professional chess players participating in the Weiqi League, we must always put the interests of our team first, so why should we care about our own face!"

In the past, if the two ninth-dan players in the team had such highly consistent opinions, Ren Qiang would have accepted this suggestion.

But even after talking about this today, Ren Qiang still had no intention of giving in:
"no!
"Yuan Jun, Xiao Peng, you two have to listen to me this time! One of you must take the lead!"

Now Zhu Yuanjun was really confused - no matter how you look at it, Rui Zhaosai was the most suitable candidate!

Could it be that the coach really thinks that Wendong and I have more than a 5% chance of defeating that Zhaotian Queen?!

But at this point, Zhu Yuanjun knew that the coach must have his reasons. He, who was always smooth-tempered, immediately expressed his opinion:

"Coach Ren, there's nothing wrong with this - but you still have to give me a reason.

"Otherwise, if I can't figure out the reason, it will definitely affect my mentality during the game."

"Yuan Jun, believe me, it's better for you not to know first - otherwise your mentality will only get worse!"

Ren Qiang said worriedly:
"Chairman Shang personally called us to instruct us on this matter. There is indeed a reason for it!"

"But if I can't figure it out, I will always be thinking about it!" Zhu Yuanjun insisted.

Peng Wendong, who was standing by, was also curious at this time and asked:

"Yes, yes!

"It's okay for us to follow the arrangements, but there has to be a reasonable reason!"

"……All right."

Seeing that several team members were determined not to give up until they knew the result, Ren Qiang gave in and said helplessly:
“This time…

"We're in big trouble."
