Bengtie: A card pool character who gives knives to players

However, those conservative guys in Luofu probably don't have the courage to do such a thing. Where did Yanqing get it?

The Tianqu Chamber of Commerce should not introduce such sensitive works.

After closing the book, Jing Yuan glanced at Ling Zhou, as if thinking about something.

What did he bring?

The people of the Joy Faction, or...

Although he was deep in thought, Jing Yuan remained calm on the surface, with a smile on his lazy face.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Mr. Lingzhou. This future sword master is really embarrassing. I don't know why he vomited like this."

He was fine when he just came back, and seemed to be fine, except that his face looked a little strange.

Unexpectedly, after just a few words, the boy's face quickly turned green and his straight back bent.

"Don't blame him...uh..."

Lingzhou's eye twitched before he finished speaking.

Yanqing vomited and then lay down again.

"It's my fault for not being able to stabilize the Star Raft when its engine went out of control. It spun a few more times in the air, which is why Brother Yanqing ended up like this."

Originally, even if his driving skills were not very good, it was far from the case that the ship would be destroyed.

Damn it Aha.

Jing Yuan's eyes twitched as well.

How can you stabilize the car if the engine is out of control? In that situation, there is no other choice except emergency disengagement.

Yan Qing had been to the battlefield and ridden on a star raft piloted by a pilot from the Tianbosi Fighting Ship.

It can't be that Lingzhou flies the spaceship more wildly than the professionals, right?

"This kid, I even suspect he's been whipped around like a top for tens of thousands of times."

Jing Yuan had no choice but to call Yunqi and send Yanqing for examination.

Lingzhou fell into deep thought.

"Not tens of thousands of laps, but being whipped around like a top by my master doesn't seem like a big deal...?"

Grandmaster?!

One stone caused a thousand waves!

Jing Yuan's lazy eyes suddenly froze, and a rare sharp look flashed in them, staring at Ling Zhou intently.

"Don't be nervous, General. Would you like to play a game of chess with me? It just so happens that I know a thing or two about Luofu chess." Lingzhou said with a smile.

"Haha, very good." Jing Yuan also smiled back.

Luofu chess game...is that a double entendre?

He didn't waste any time and started the game immediately.

The chessboard was set up, and Jing Yuan politely extended his hand to signal.

"A guest is a guest, Mr. Lingzhou, please—"

Lingzhou hovered his two fingers over the chess piece, as if thinking about what move to make first.

After a few seconds, it landed lightly on the soldier.

Jing Yuan's eyes narrowed immediately.

However, Lingzhou did not play the chess piece as expected, but instead changed to the Xiang and moved it in front of the rook.

A strange first move would definitely be considered a random play if it were played outside.

However, Jing Yuan rolled his eyes and simply chose to move the side pawn first.

It's not hard to see that neither follows conventional routines.

Lingzhou then performed the horse jump.

Jing Yuan remained unmoved and continued to move his pawns.

Lingzhou did not move any of his soldiers, and his cavalry jumped a total of four steps, reaching the center of the two enemy pawns.

In one more step, he can jump in front of the bishop and threaten the general.

But Jing Yuan remained unmoved and just acted as a pawn.

The key point is that he clearly had the opportunity to capture Lingzhou's soldiers, but he never took action and just moved left and right on the border meaninglessly.

If outsiders saw the chess game, they would probably be dumbfounded.

No, the horses are all in checkmate, aren’t we just waiting to lose?

But Jingyuan still didn't.

What is even more confusing is that Lingzhou did not move his knight again, but instead moved his cannon twice, threatening Jingyuan's elephant.

Isn't this moved to the central general?

Finally, Jingyuan stopped using pawns and stood in front of the general.

The first chess piece to be eliminated finally appeared——

Lingzhou used his cannon to capture Jingyuan's elephant, but because Jingyuan had moved his scholar first, he was not checked by the cannon.

"interesting."

Jing Yuan rested his chin on the back of his hand, staring at the cannon in deep thought.

As for what he was thinking about, perhaps no one knew except Lingzhou.

After a while, Jing Yuan started firing the cannon.

First walk to the outermost corner of the soldier, then take a step down, aiming directly at Lingzhou's horse parked in the middle of the two pawns.

Lingzhou ignored the horse, as if he didn't see through Jingyuan's intention.

The horse was eaten.

"Good move, General. It's a pity your cannonballs can't get around the gun mount no matter what..."

"There's nothing you can do about it. The best chess pieces to use are different at different times and in different situations."

Jingyuan chuckled.

"A gun that can be used just by having a stand is already the best one available right now."

"Aren't there horses?"

"Hahaha, a horse can't get through a heavily guarded barrier, right?"

Lingzhou: "That's true."

Jing Yuan: "The pawn is known as the strongest chess piece, but if there is only one pawn left, it cannot determine the outcome of the game. The scholar and the elephant are never the main attack."

"General Jingyuan, there is no need to be pessimistic. You can just drive the carriage." Lingzhou smiled nonchalantly.

Jing Yuan: "We can't just leave easily. We have to consider the desperate situation of having no wheels for the cart and no reins for the horse..."

"Well, that's only because the general lacks courage and ambition."

"Haha, that's quite right." Jing Yuan sneered.

Luofu is in a difficult situation at the moment, so it dare not make any bold decisions easily.

Ling Zhou: "There's something I want to say, but I'm not sure if I should say it or not."

"Sir, please speak."

"It's said that on the chessboard, removing half of your opponent's attacking pieces is a great victory, but in the mortal world, who knows how much courage and sacrifice is required to break the deadlock."

Having said that, Lingzhou raised his chariot and penetrated Jingyuan's cannon chess.

"The chess game is far from over, but I believe the general has a judgment on the outcome."

"It's hard to say, let's wait and see."

Apparently because the cannon was captured, Jing Yuan finally started to move the rook chess piece that he had never moved before.

No one could have imagined that the two of them would not be able to finish the game of chess after playing for more than half an hour.

Yan Qing woke up from his dizziness and recovered a lot. He rushed back to Shen Ce Mansion in a hurry.

Seeing that the two of them were actually playing chess, several question marks popped up in my head.

He approached lightly and scanned the chessboard.

I often play chess with the general in my spare time, so I am quite familiar with the game.

But the current situation made him frown.

Not to mention the generals and kings of both sides, whether it is Lingzhou or Jingyuan, there are not many chess pieces left.

There is only one soldier, one chariot and one prime minister left on Lingzhou.

Jing Yuan only had one soldier and one chariot left.

Yanqing fell into deep thought.

The general is in the middle left position, alone, and is restraining the enemy soldiers in the middle right position.

Whoever attacks first will be eaten by the latter.

A pawn and a chariot were both in the enemy's territory, one on the left and one on the right, trapping Lingzhou's general in the right soldier position.

Lingzhou's Xiang is stationed at the central jump point, with the enemy's pawn behind him unable to retreat, and the chariot is parked on the left outer line of the general.

Both sides have a total of seven chess pieces.

As long as Lingzhou moves the rook to the left soldier position, he can pose a threat to Jingyuan's left center general.

But if he really did that, Jing Yuan could move the pawn behind the elephant to stop the chariot's attack.

If Lingzhou dares to use the chariot to capture the pawn, he will inevitably be cannibalized by the chariot on the same front as the pawn.

So, if Lingzhou didn't want his chariot to be eliminated, he had to retreat.

Then, Jing Yuan can also follow suit and let the pawns retreat to their original positions.

As for Lingzhou's plan to use his chariot to cross the two boundaries and head straight for the enemy general, it was futile.

Just one soldier and one chariot are not enough to strangle the general to death.

It seems... there is no solution?

Chapter 159: Immortality Endgame, Jing Yuan's Amazement

Jing Yuan's attention shifted from the chessboard to Ling Zhou.

"I didn't expect it to be a stalemate."

"Yes, a deadlock." Ling Zhou looked up and met Jing Yuan's gaze.

Seeing that both of them were looking at each other with a smile on their faces, Yan Qing was confused.

Wouldn't it be better to call it a draw?

After waiting for a while, he finally couldn't help but speak.

"General, sir, it looks like you're tied. Why don't you start over and decide the winner?"

The two remained silent.

The atmosphere gradually became weird.

Just when Yanqing could no longer bear it, Lingzhou took the first step.

"Brother Yanqing, I've already told General Jingyuan what my friend asked me to do. Thank you for taking me through the VIP channel."

He put down the rook piece he had been holding in his hand, quietly hid a knight piece, stood up and patted Yan Qing on the shoulder.

"Next, I have to go find another old friend. Goodbye."

"Hey, aren't you going to decide the winner first?"

Ling Zhou paused and said meaningfully, "The one who's going to decide the outcome has never been between me and General Jing Yuan..."
