my unparalleled way

Chapter 296: Battle Chess
Xie Shaoying's reason could not convince Lin Si at all.

Because he himself has similar considerations, he is also a practitioner, and he also has the ambition to climb to the top of the cultivation world.

Ever since he confirmed his intentions for Tang Xiaozhi, thoughts like Xie Shaoying's had been circling in his mind.

He felt that this was not a problem at all.

What can Tang Xiaozhi do with him-wander around the world.

If she really doesn't want to leave home too far, Lin Si doesn't mind staying with her in the Academy City.After the series of incidents of hijacking Yue Luoning, he cherished the peaceful and beautiful time even more.

In comparison, practice is just a trivial matter.

"Aren't you going to take him with you?" he retorted logically.

Xie Shaoying smiled wryly: "We are different from you, she is the daughter of Prime Minister Qian Song, how can she wander around with me?"

"What's wrong?" Lin Si curled his lips and said, "She's not a man, so she will inherit the position of prime minister in the future?"

"That's not true, hey, anyway, you don't understand." Xie Shaoying shook her head and sighed.

"Are you worried that getting married will distract you?" Mu Zheping suddenly interjected.

Xie Shaoying stopped talking immediately.

Lin Si suddenly realized that it turned out that Xie Shaoying planned not to get married in this life at all, no matter who the partner was.

That's right, he is indeed like a 'sword idiot', and Lin Si has a deep understanding of this after getting along with him for a period of time.

Xie Shaoying never leaves her body with her sword no matter she eats or sleeps.

It is entirely possible for a person like him to say that he does not want to hinder his path of cultivation because of getting married and having children.

This is his insistence. If he is forced to marry that Miss Ji, I'm afraid it will really ruin her life.

For a while, Lin Si really didn't know how to persuade him.

"Then you plan to leave? This seems very irresponsible!"

"Otherwise, what else can I do? I don't want to sink deeper and deeper, and finally I can't get out even if I want to."

"You must at least give the girl an explanation!"

"Is this necessary?"

"Yes... Even if you don't want her, at least you have to make it clear. Otherwise, wouldn't it be delaying her?" Lin Si said earnestly.

Hearing what Lin Si said, Xie Shaoying also felt that it was too much to leave.

"Then I'll go to Ji Mansion tomorrow morning and explain it to her!"

……

At the same time, in another mansion in Dingchuan City, the person Lin Si, Xie Shaoying and others are talking about now, Miss Ji Bingyun Ji is sitting at a square table.

In her hand was a chess piece, and on the table in front of her was a chessboard, on which many chess pieces were scattered in an orderly manner.

There is a kind of war chess popular in the Cangluo Continent. This kind of war chess is divided into more than a dozen and hundreds of chess pieces such as kings, commanders, generals, practitioners, archers, cavalry, infantry, heavy soldiers, and civilian husbands.

These chess pieces restrain each other and are interlocking.Each chess piece also has a different walking gait.The condition for victory is naturally to kill the opponent's king.

Because there are so many chess pieces and the terrain marked on the chessboard is very complicated, I want to become a master of war chess.It's not easy either, it's an extreme test of one's calculation and deduction abilities.

The war chess in the Cangluo Continent has been circulated for thousands of years, and there may not be many ordinary people who play it, but this kind of war chess is still quite popular in the circle of nobles and wealthy families.

Therefore, war chess has derived many routines and methods. A master of war chess must not only be familiar with the rules of war chess, but also usually read all kinds of chess records and understand various tactics.

A chess master may not be able to become a real art of war master, after all, there is still a big difference between war chess and real war.And it's great on paper, but it's not unheard of in Cangluo Continent to be messed up in actual combat.

But a person who is good at fighting usually plays very well in war chess. Xie Shaoying's father Xie Chi is a master of this skill.

For this reason, it is usually men who can play war chess, and very few women.

Even if there is, it is usually not a master.

But at this time, this Miss Ji in a blue and white dress had a calm expression on her face, as if she was sure of winning.

Four feet away from her, the opponent who was sitting was dripping with sweat from the forehead.

If anyone saw this scene, they would definitely exclaim in disbelief.

Because sitting opposite Miss Xie was an old man over sixty years old with silver hair and long beard.

Usually when it comes to playing chess, except for those with extraordinary talents, it is the elders who are better at chess.

The reason is simple and experienced.

The elderly have played too many chess games, met too many opponents, and seen too many tactics.

But the old man in front of him seemed to be at a disadvantage in the game against Miss Ji.

In particular, this old man is Ji Qun, the former prime minister of Qian Song Dynasty.

Ji Qun is Miss Ji's grandfather, and he has been the prime minister for 30 years.

He had just stepped down from the position of prime minister three years ago.

Although he is at home, no one in Qiansong dares to ignore him.

So far, King Qian Song still often visits the old prime minister to inquire about national policies, which shows that his ability is by no means ordinary.

In his spare time, Mr. Ji's greatest hobby is playing war chess.

Although he was only a civil servant and not a soldier, he had all the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, including King Qian Song and the deceased old king, all under his control.

Every time King Qian Song came to Ji Mansion, he was full of anticipation and headache.

The anticipation is because he needs the old prime minister to give him guidance on state affairs, and the headache is because the old prime minister will always pull him to play two games of chess afterwards.

If it's just playing war chess, that's all. King Qian Song is also quite good at this.But the problem is that he has never won a game of war chess with the old prime minister.

Not only him, but even Xie Chi's military masters, no one can beat him.

It's okay to lose once or twice, but if you lose every time, no one will be happy.

Who plays chess with others because they want to lose?Unless it's someone who deliberately sycophants.

Anyway, let people win once, right?At least let people see hope and taste the taste of victory, so that people can continue to play with you.

But what makes people speechless is that this old prime minister never lets people play chess, even when facing the previous king of Qiansong!

Everyone in the government and the public knew that old man Ji was so fond of chess that he was almost addicted to chess, playing with whomever he caught, so they all avoided him.

Mr. Ji's son, Ji Jing, was tortured and tortured by his father all the way up.

It was not until he took over as prime minister three years ago and was busy with official duties that he was finally relieved.

Mr. Ji has more than one son, but the other sons are also officials in the court, and when it comes to playing chess, they all try their best to find excuses to escape.

In desperation, Mr. Ji set his mind on his grandson and granddaughter.

In Xie Shaoying's family, apart from the family guards, there are only him and his father, so it can be said that they are of the same line, and his grandfather died in battle in the early years.

The Ji family is different. In Ji Bingyun's generation, there are eight grandchildren of Mr. Ji alone.

The oldest among them is Ji Bingyun, who is now sixteen.

When Mr. Ji 'dragged' his grandchildren into the water, Ji Bingyun was only 13 years old, and her younger siblings were even younger.

Playing chess with old man Ji who is scheming and merciless, how can these childish children be opponents?

In the eyes of Mr. Ji, their chess skills are simply crude, and they don't even feel the slightest pleasure in winning.

In the eyes of these children, grandpa is really too hateful, always killing them all, so much so that they even feel disgusted with war chess.

Mr. Ji knew in his heart that the children were too young, how could they beat him?Expecting to find an opponent who is evenly matched and can play happily is simply an extravagant hope.

However, when Mr. Ji had given up hope, Ji Bingyun suddenly emerged.

Her war chess was also taught by Mr. Ji himself. At first, she barely memorized the rules of war chess, but she was also defeated by Mr. Ji.

But one day after a year, Mr. Ji couldn't help but play chess with Ji Bingyun and her two oldest younger brothers on a whim, only to suddenly realize that this eldest granddaughter was able to stand in a stalemate with him for half an hour, and killed himself Half of the pawns.

He thought it was just a flash of inspiration, but in the second hand, he almost lost due to distraction.

This unexpected discovery made him ecstatic.

He never expected that his eldest granddaughter would have an amazing talent in this area!
In just one year, she actually has the qualifications to play against her!

There are probably no more than five people in the civil and military circles who are at her level in chess!
After Mr. Ji asked, he realized that his granddaughter had memorized five or six chess books this year.

This slightly reduced the shock in his heart, but it still couldn't make him feel relieved.

If you can become a chess master by memorizing chess records, then old man Ji has already been defeated by others.Playing chess is not about rote memorization, it is more important to assess the situation and be flexible.

From that day on, Mr. Ji no longer had to worry about not having an opponent.

This well-behaved granddaughter has always responded to his requests to play chess with a smile, even after repeated battles and defeats.

Another year later, old man Ji finally tasted defeat with his granddaughter.

It was a 'tragic battle' that lasted two hours, both sides had almost exhausted more than a hundred chess pieces from their own side, and in the end, Mr. Ji lost half a chip.

Although he lost, Mr. Ji was happier than winning. He is not someone who can't afford to lose.

In particular, the person who beat him was his granddaughter Bing Yun, a chess master he had single-handedly cultivated.He seemed to be able to see that after his death, his granddaughter inherited his "glorious tradition" and killed all invincible opponents in Qiansong with one hand.

That night, old man Ji's face was flushed, his voice was sonorous, and he made an exception to drink a few more glasses of wine during dinner, and the whole house could almost feel his joy.

However, the good times didn't last long, and Mr. Ji gradually lost his joy.

Since that day, his failures have increased.

The two sides began to win and lose each other, which is enough to prove the rapid progress of the granddaughter, and Mr. Ji is naturally pleased.

But only half a year later, Mr. Ji discovered that he could no longer win against Ji Bingyun.

He finally experienced the feeling of other people every time they play and lose every time. This feeling is really uncomfortable!
In particular, Ji Bingyun's victory over him has become more and more easy, and sometimes it doesn't even need to pay too much loss to kill him.

This made Mr. Ji very uncomfortable. It seemed that he was gradually becoming unqualified to play chess with her.

This feng shui took turns, and it turned too fast.

Three months ago, old man Ji stopped playing chess with Ji Bingyun.

He felt that he might be possessed, and he needed to calm down, and it would not be too late to fight until his mind was stable.

Ji Bingyun is not like him. After winning, he finds someone to play every day. Mr. Ji didn't look for her, and she never mentioned war chess.

A month ago, Mr. Ji felt that he had almost sorted out all the knowledge he had learned in his life, and he had completely integrated it while removing the chaff.

So he once again challenged his eldest granddaughter Ji Bingyun.

Mr. Ji's chess strength has indeed improved, but he was shocked to find that Ji Bingyun's improvement in the past two months was also not small.

He lost again.

Over the past month, Mr. Ji's goal has gradually changed from defeating his granddaughter completely to winning back once.

As long as you pull it back once, old man Ji decided to close the mountain and never play chess again.

However, Ji Bingyun is the same as him in this regard, never knowing how to show mercy, and always going all out.He didn't care about Mr. Ji's extremely fragile heart.

This made old man Ji secretly slander, why didn't this granddaughter know how to let grandpa do?Your chess is still taught by your grandfather!

He completely forgot that when he played chess with others, wasn't that the same way?
