News leaked from the East Palace that a girl in white was deeply loved by the prince, and the two of them interacted closely in the East Palace.
After the matter has been fermented in the past few days, people are already rumoring today that perhaps the woman in white who often frequents the East Palace is the perfect candidate for the Crown Princess.
When Bai Rou is wandering around, there will always be someone watching around her, so that Bai Song will feel at ease.
The person who arranged to secretly protect Bai Rou was arranged by Qing'er.
Some news has spread back to the bank, and Qing'er felt a little strange when she heard the rumors.
How could the ladies of Bai Song not know what kind of character Bai Rou was?
Qing'er doesn't think it should be said that there is any affection between Bai Rou and the prince.
But Bai Rou went to the East Palace every day, which made people suspicious. After thinking about it, Qing'er felt that she should tell Bai Song about the recent events.
After all, she is Bai Song's biological sister. She has no parents to take care of her, so he, the eldest brother, has to worry about everything.
Qing'er first returned to her house and learned that her husband had followed the old apprentice to a restaurant, so she looked for the restaurant again.
When Qing'er found Bai Song, it was the beginning of the first game of chess.
As soon as she entered the room, Qing'er was shocked by the depressing atmosphere inside. She stood there blankly, looking at the people in the room.
Everyone glanced at Qing'er and made a silent gesture.
Qing'er opened her mouth, but didn't say a word. Then she was noticed by Bai Song, who cast a curious look.
Long Yi, who was sitting opposite Bai Song, was completely focused on the chess game. He didn't realize that someone came into the room. Everyone around him was also focused on the chess game after seeing Qing'er. Only Bai Song walked up to Qing'er and asked in a low voice.
: "Qing'er, why did you find yourself here?"
Qing'er originally came to tell Bai Rou about things. As soon as she entered the room, she was a little nervous due to the depressing atmosphere. She subconsciously asked: "Ms. sir, what is this..."
"Didn't I win against a Japanese chess player last time? It was this old devil's apprentice."
"Old devil...apprentice?"
"That's the old apprentice! I heard that there were four chess players with him. He was very dissatisfied and insisted on dragging me to play chess with me."
"Japanese chess player..."
Qing'er murmured and glanced at the people in the room.
Suddenly, Qing'er thought of something and asked: "Are these the five chess players who once swept the Tang Dynasty chess booth?"
Bai Song nodded, not very sure: "It should be, right?"
Qing'er's heart moved. She actually forgot about Bai Rou and said that she had nothing important to do and asked her husband to play chess well.
Qing'er quietly withdrew, then immediately went back to her house and called Lan Ting to her side. She immediately followed Bai Song with tape and carefully recorded the progress of the game.
Fortunately, the palace is not far away, and it only takes a quarter of an hour to get back and forth.
Lan Ting appeared quietly. Bai Song only said that she was his maid and did not attract anyone's attention.
A quarter of an hour later, the chess game had not changed much, and there were only about twenty chess pieces scattered on the chess board.
Lanting secretly records the chessboard, while Qing'er responds at the door.
Outside the restaurant, a piece of shocking news suddenly spread throughout Chang'an.
The Prince Consort of the Tang Dynasty faced the five major Japanese chess players alone, vowing to rectify the name of the Tang Dynasty chess world and wash away the previous shame.
As soon as the news came out, countless people flocked to the restaurant, and a temporary stage was set up in the lobby of the restaurant for everyone to watch the chess game progress.
No one knew that this duel, which was supposed to be held on a small scale, soon became known to the world because of Qing'er's fueling.
Although the news was sudden, it received unprecedented attention.
Not only people who are interested in Go, but also people who don't understand chess also want to come up and ask for information.
There is no other reason, but in the arena match between the two countries a month ago, the players from the Tang Dynasty lost miserably.
In the arena with five people, Datang didn't win any of them. They all surrendered in the middle of the game. The entire Tang Dynasty felt embarrassed.
I heard that someone wants to restore the glory of the chess world in the Tang Dynasty. As a person from the Tang Dynasty, it is natural to have connections and support.
But when they first heard the news, everyone thought that the prince-in-law was just brave. After all, even the five national players selected by the emperor had never defeated each other. What kind of trouble could a prince-in-law make?
However, when someone learned that the first chess player who represented Japan had been defeated by the prince-in-law, the emotions in the world were exaggerated and aroused to the extreme.
More and more people were watching chess in the restaurant, and the restaurant was quickly filled. Not only the lobby, but also the outside of the restaurant was filled with onlookers.
The chess records were spread to more places, and more and more people paid attention to the matter.
Everyone was concerned, but the chess players were very cautious. After an hour, only thirty moves had passed.
This shows the level of care taken by both sides of the game.
But on the real chessboard, the only one who seriously dealt with it was Long Yi, a disciple of the Japanese Chess Saint.
Every move he makes is very careful and must be thought about for a long time.
Bai Song, on the other hand, would always make an instant decision after he made a move, as if every move made by the opponent was expected by Bai Song.
This situation gave Long Yi indescribable pressure, and even his companions who were watching chess around him were horrified. They looked at Bai Song in disbelief, thinking to themselves, how high has this person's chess ability reached?
After an hour and a half, Long Yi surrendered at around the 70th move.
In today's first game of chess, facing the first Japanese chess player, Bai Song won again in the layout stage.
It was already boiling downstairs. The Japanese chess players won in the middle game when they beat the big players.
The prince-in-law's revenge battle was won based on the layout, and it ended faster than the last time!
Is it possible that this prince-in-law, who has never been shown to have amazing chess skills, can really create a miracle, complete the feat of one through five, and rectify the name of the Tang Dynasty chess world?
After the first game of chess, the news spread again, even reaching the palace and Li Shimin's ears.
When Li Shimin heard this, he didn't hesitate: "Is there anything bad about Bai Song?"
No matter what changes are taking place in the outside world, the atmosphere in the small room of the restaurant has not changed at all, and there is no sense of the hustle and bustle of the outside world.
The second game of chess begins immediately, and another chess player goes to verify the myth of the fairy game.
The faces of the Japanese chess players were all ashen. When the Longyi layout was defeated, their self-confidence had been severely damaged.
When the second chess player faced Bai Song, his eyes were somewhat dodgey, and he had already lost in terms of momentum alone.
As you can imagine, the second player moved slower, but he only persisted for an hour and gave up on the fifty-sixth move.
There has never been a game like this, a game that represents the top chess skills of the two countries, but the confidence of others was frequently defeated in the layout stage.
This should not be the case when a big player appears, and it is also something that should not happen.
However, this kind of thing that shouldn't happen happens frequently under everyone's attention.
When the self-confidence of the Datang chess players was shattered, the Datang chess players who witnessed all this even suspected that it was a dream.
Cultural self-confidence is not a useless thing. It is an adjustment that can stimulate people's cohesion and strengthen their sense of identity and honor. It is a tangible and visible force.
This is the effect that Bai Song has always hoped to achieve, to make everyone in the world live more clearly.
Qing'er is Bai Song's woman. She knows Bai Song's thoughts. She wants to break her perception and win back some confidence through this chess game.
In the third game, less than half an hour passed, but because his opponent made moves the fastest, Bai Song managed to hold on to ninety-eight moves.
The result was still the same, with Bai Song winning with a huge advantage.
At this moment, Bai Song had already completed the feat of one through four. Judging from the results of the chess game, the prince-in-law did not use his true skills at all. After all, the chess game was only over at the beginning.
Now, the mood of the outside world has become more stable, because judging from the current performance of the Prince Consort, it is a certainty that he will be one of five.
However, the real situation faced by Bai Song is that he also has his own limits.
Bai Song was not a professional chess player. Even though he was thousands of years ahead in chess skills, he was still just an amateur.
His advantages are all based on the accumulation of fixed patterns in the early stages. If the early layout is exceeded, Bai Song's disadvantages will gradually become apparent when the actual competition is calculated.
In the last round, it’s the granddaughter of Mu Zhi’s disciple.
This girl is much younger than Bai Song, but her chess skills are second only to Long Yi.
Bai Song was actually a little nervous inside. When the chess game reached the final stage, Bai Song had forgotten the initial bet, but he could feel the seriousness of these Japanese chess players towards Go, and was brought into that serious atmosphere.
Now Bai Song only thinks about how to win the air chess game.
The Japanese girl sitting across from Bai Song sat across from Bai Song. The pressure she felt far exceeded Bai Song's inner pressure.
Having witnessed Bai Song's three games of chess with her own eyes, she knew that she could not beat this man no matter what.
Bai Song's chess prowess during the layout stage was far beyond their knowledge. Facing such an enemy, the girl could hardly think of any resistance.
However, this game is related to the face of the Japanese chess world. She has been forced into a desperate situation. If she loses, she will become the sinner of Japan, so no matter what, she must try her best in this game.
The last game of chess officially begins.
The girl made the first move, followed closely by Bai Song.
Time passed by minute by minute, and before I knew it, the sky was getting dark.
Tonight, Chang'an City rarely has a curfew, and vows to let the results of this last game of chess spread throughout Chang'an City that day.
As the chess game progressed, Bai Song gradually frowned.
In the end, there was something wrong with this girl's chess, and there were very few mistakes in the layout phase.
The optimal result is achieved every time.
Bai Song felt that this should not be the strength of this little girl. This little girl seemed to have seen these formulas before.
In doubt, Bai Song looked back at his old apprentice and thought to himself, this guy wouldn't have passed on all the formulas he taught him to his granddaughter, right?
At present, it seems very possible.
If the advantage of the fixed formula is lost, it will be difficult for the Bai Song Dynasty.
But now that he knew it was too late, the only thing Bai Song could do was to use some unfamiliar formulas to deal with it.
Gradually, Bai Song still grasped the advantage, but it did not reach the point of causing the opponent to collapse.
