"Congratulations to the host, you have independently awakened the skill of Go. Do you want to learn it?"
"study!"
Then Lu Fang directly invested a thousand skill points into it.
"Congratulations to the host, you have your first glimpse of the self-awakening skill of Go!"
"Congratulations to the host, you have independently awakened your Go skills and entered your home!"
It has just reached the level of entering a room.
The skill points required to play Go are obviously not comparable to those of equestrian skills.
Lu Fang noticed that this skill is the same as calligraphy. There is no upper limit for proficiency, and the max is also displayed.
Obviously, if he wanted to, he could invest endless skill points into it. His Go skills could also continue to improve.
What made him a little confused was that he didn't know what level Jiang Jiaping was.
Adding too many skill points to Go always feels impractical and a waste of skill points. However, in the game against Jiang Jiaping, he absolutely cannot lose.
As feelings came to his mind, Lu Fang thought, give it a try first.
I'll lay down a few stones later to see if I can test out Jiang Jiaping's depth. If he's very powerful, I'll continue to add skill points later.
"Go and get my chessboard, and announce two more chessboards to be replayed outside."
At this time, Liang Hanmin raised his chin to the old eunuch and said, "Let them all go outside and watch. The outcome of this matter depends entirely on their ability."
"yes……"
The old eunuch bowed and agreed. He first went to the cabinet and took the ivory for the white pieces, the rhinoceros horn for the black pieces, and the white jade for the entire Go board. He also set up a small table in front of the dragon case. Then he left the royal study.
Lu Fang looked deeply at Jiang Jiaping.
He has never played Go.
But as he just added skill points, the rules naturally came to his mind along with insights.
At the entry level, he can be considered a proficient person.
"Which one of you is the black one?"
Liang Hanmin asked.
Stand up and stand next to the chessboard.
He has this hobby.
I also want to see the chess skills of these two great talents, especially Lu Fang.
Lu Fang agreed readily just now, and it seemed that his chess skills were not low.
"You should be black..."
Lu Fang and Jiang Jiaping were both humble at the same time.
In Go, the black stone moves first and has a first-mover advantage.
Both men clearly have confidence.
"Then guessing?"
Lu Fang continued.
Jiang Jiaping nodded without any objection.
The two of them played guessing games.
Lu Fang's luck was not good, he used the fist, but Jiang Jiaping happened to use the cloth.
Jiang Jiaping took the lead and took the lead.
He pushed the black chess piece in front of Jiang Jiaping.
Luck counts as strength, and Jiang Jiaping didn't show any courtesy. But he didn't make a direct move either.
He had heard what Liang Hanmin said just now. The Emperor wanted someone to review the game outside. Of course, he had to wait until his two colleagues started the chess game outside.
As for the "they" Liang Hanmin said were coming to watch chess, he naturally didn't know who they were.
Lu Fang was also puzzled.
…
Xuandemen.
The old eunuch has sent someone to the Hanlin Academy to request two chess pieces for the imperial edict.
He went to Xuandemen himself.
Liang Su, Liang Zixie, Liang Siqi, Yu Yuanwei, Su Yu and others are still waiting here.
Seeing him come out, Liang Siqi hurriedly shouted: "Eunuch Liu!"
"Your Highness the Sixth Prince, Your Highness the Princess..."
The old eunuch first bowed to Liang Su and others, and then said: "The emperor asked you to go in. Outside the royal study room, Viscount Lu and Mr. Jiang are playing chess. He also said that the matter of Viscount Lu will be decided based on the chess game and depends entirely on his ability."
Liang Siqi and others' expressions were slightly moved.
The meaning behind these words is somewhat worthy of scrutiny.
Lu Fang’s matter...
So is he talking about beating the Tongtiangu, or is he asking the emperor to take back the marriage granted by the emperor?
Or are these two things decided together?
But it's obvious that he can't think about it too much right now.
Everyone hurriedly followed the old eunuch into Xuandemen and went outside the imperial study.
When a large group of them arrived outside the Imperial Study Room, two rather elderly Qi Daizhao from the Hanlin Academy were already sitting opposite each other at the stone table outside.
There is a chess game on the stone table.
The old eunuch bowed to Liang Su and others again and said, "You all can watch the chess game here, and I will go in and resume my life."
After that, he went into the imperial study room.
Soon, the old eunuch's voice came from the royal study, "Master Jiang is in charge of black, go first. Right eye."
Lu Fang and Jiang Jiaping have already started playing against each other.
Jiang Jiaping made the first move and landed on the small eye position on the chessboard in his right hand.
Although it was just a game of chess, as the old eunuch's words came out, the atmosphere outside suddenly became tense.
The old chess player holding black next to the stone table was waiting for the order to place the black stone on the small eye position and conduct a review.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the solitary sunspot on the chessboard.
"Zijue Lu holds the white position and the left star position."
The old eunuch's voice came out again immediately.
Holding the white chess piece and waiting for the order, he quickly placed the white piece on the star position in his left hand, which is the place with the small black dot in the left corner of the chessboard.
"Black, diagonal small eye."
"white……"
The old eunuch's voice kept coming from the imperial study room.
It was almost silent outside.
The people here are either talented people from Dayu, or they are nobles and powerful people with good backgrounds. Naturally, they are no strangers to Go. No matter how bad they are, they have been exposed to it since childhood.
This chess game was related to Lu Fang's life, so everyone was naturally immersed in it unconsciously.
Unknowingly, I was already secretly pondering the chess skills and thoughts of the two players in the game.
At first, among the twelve stones, one of Lu Fangzhi's white stones was eaten in the corner.
In terms of momentum, he first fell into the disadvantage.
And the whole chess game seems to be a bit dangerous.
Jiang Jiaping's chess skills are really good. Although he didn't make many moves, he looked majestic.
Liang Siqi frowned slightly.
It seems that Lu Fang's chess ability is not as good as Jiang Jiaping's.
Inside the royal study.
Except for the sound of the old eunuch reporting the items in time, it was quite quiet.
Including Liang Hanmin, all the energy was concentrated on the chessboard.
By the time Black and White each placed dozens of pieces, Liang Hanmin shook his head slightly.
His chess skills are not particularly superb, but he is still an expert. At this point, it can already be seen that Lu Fang's chess skills are somewhat different from Jiang Jiaping's.
After all, if the chess players are evenly matched, then there will be back and forth. But from the beginning to the present, Lu Fang is always at a disadvantage.
Even if the outcome is uncertain, from the perspective of chess strength, Lu Fang doesn't have much chance of winning.
Time passes quietly.
Before I knew it, about two quarters of an hour passed.
On the chessboard, the black and white pieces have crisscrossed each other, occupying most of the chessboard.
Outside the royal study, there was a sudden sound of sighing.
It's Liang Su.
He sighed and said: "Jiang Jiaping's big dragon will take shape soon."
If Black, who already has the advantage, takes shape, the outcome of this chess game will basically be decided.
Liang Siqi's pretty face also quietly turned white at this moment.
