Chapter 46 Chess Pre-Battle
June, sword and wine!

The sword drinking party held every six years in Fengting City finally started. Under the attention of tens of millions of people, the first day was the pre-selection for the reception.

More than 3000 registered chess players were divided into eight regions. Players in the same competition area used lottery to find opponents. There were ten rounds of competition, and a point system was adopted to eliminate low-scoring players.

The preliminaries are to select the top [-] chess players.

According to Yi Xiao's classification level that day, most of the players who are capable of entering the semi-finals are already "proficient" level chess players.

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, Yi Xiao classified him as a national level chess player.

Yuan Daobing, Qiu Jiwen, Shen Zhixian, Bai Qi, Gu Shengcheng, and Tang Muran were actually assigned to six different competition areas.

The remaining two divisions separated Yi Xiao and Young Master Xiaotao.

It seems like a coincidence, but
The battle of chess and scales was planned by the City Lord's Mansion of Fengting City, and behind the City Lord's Mansion stood various figures.

Those who can indistinctly intervene in the management of Fengting City's City Lord's Mansion are all top-level powers.

Among them was the Su family.

It can be said that the Su family is one of the driving forces behind the chess scale dispute.

The Su family's own reporting ability is extremely powerful. In order to ensure that there are no mistakes in the reception, the popular chess players are divided and separated under the operation.

At the same time, the Su family's Tianxiang Gambling House opened a huge game of gambling.

Almost an unprecedented big game.

There are more than 3000 chess players, and the name and name of each player appear on this table.

On this day, before the results of the game, everyone can bet on the gaming table, not only whether this person can enter the semi-finals, but also the score of the first day of the points match.

In such a huge gambling game, the odds of each chess player have been repeatedly deliberated and calculated, and some people can even buy out the wine leader from among the more than 3000 chess players in advance.

If you can really buy it, then you are really lucky.

It's a pity that the probability of this is too small, after all, the Su family will not be so stupid as to write the fact that the young master Xiaotao is a disciple of the Nanhai Chess Master in the chess player's profile.

The game kicked off when the first ray of sunshine first came into view in the early morning.

According to the rules of the game, each chess player needs to play ten games.

In these ten games, the winner gets one point, the loser loses one point, and the tie gets no points.

Coupled with drawing lots to select opponents, it can basically be said to eliminate the possibility of fraud.

It's a pity that drawing lots is just a joke to Yi Xiao who has a lotus figure.

Division [-].

Nearly [-] chess players lined up to draw lots.

Among them was a young man in black clothes. He had a handsome face, red lips and white teeth, but his eyes were slightly lowered. His long, fine hair covered his eyes, and no one in the crowd noticed him.

The young man's eyes were full of green light, like a blossoming green lotus, and the whole world was dissected in his eyes.He saw every lot in the lottery box clearly and remembered it in his mind, and then glanced at it casually.

A few days ago, in order not to reveal the chess moves, Yi Xiao asked Su Fu to find five chess players to be her babysitters in the first round.

With this one glance, he could clearly see the lottery in their hands.

Then the blue light in his eyes dissipated completely, and he turned into an ordinary boy who couldn't be more ordinary. He even smiled shyly when it was his turn to draw lots.

As a matter of course, Yi Xiao got the lottery she wanted.

Next, there were five extremely watery games under his control. Each game started less than a stick of incense time, and the opposite Tuoer rushed to admit defeat.

These five matches took less than an hour.

During this period, Yi Xiao also used Wu Liantong to observe the surrounding environment.

Facts have proved that he was overthinking. Among such a large crowd of chess players, no one noticed the little Highness here.

In addition, Yi Xiao was extremely careful to cover up her identity. After entering Fengting City, she had no contact with the local Qiliang forces. Su Fu also used the Su family's relationship to help cover up.

As a result, except for a few people, not many people knew that Qi Liang's little prince also came to Fengting City to participate in this cocktail competition.

As for Yi Xiao's most worried son, Xiao Tao, he doesn't even bother to figure out Yi Xiao's chess style.

so much better.

Yi Xiao had no scruples in the next five rounds, and dealt with his opponent cleanly.

With a record of [-] victories, there is no doubt that they will advance to the semi-finals.

So far, the game of the first day has ended without any disturbance.

Yi Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and laughed at himself.

It seems to end too soon.

It was not even noon at this time, and it was estimated that the preliminaries would not end until dusk.

He laughed at himself, so he was one step closer to the wine chief?

In fact, he knew that he had only one opponent this time.

The so-called means have only a negligible impact on the final duel.

Mind reading, mind reading.

Yi Xiao had a headache for no reason.

Such a talent may not have too much impact on combat.

But if it is placed on the chess scale, it is a bargaining chip that affects the balance too much.

Chess Scale Chess Scale Chess Scale How to crack the so-called mind reading?

Yi Xiao frowned and thought hard, this is indeed a very troublesome thing.

His Highness let out a breath and walked out of the preliminaries, but unexpectedly, he saw a familiar figure beside the long-awaited Lao Duan.

"Unexpectedly, the young master of the Su family will come to pick me up in person? Then I'm flattered." Yi Xiao smiled and looked at the standing figure at the door, and couldn't help but joked.

Su Fu waved his hand helplessly, "Come on, don't be poor with me. You think I want to pick you up? It's just that someone wants to see you."

Yi Xiao narrowed her eyes when she heard this, and looked at Lao Duan.

Duan Mingsheng chewed on the grass roots, shrugged his shoulders in a very subtle way, and the fake beard he put on twitched funnyly three times, expressing that he didn't know.

Young Master Su smiled and said, "What? Are you afraid that I will harm you?"

Then Eldest Young Master Su made a vague gesture, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a low voice, "It belongs to you. It should belong to Tianque."

Yi Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, but inadvertently frowned.

"People from Tianque. This matter is strange."

The Tianque organization, similar to Senluodao in the Northern Wei Dynasty, is a secret organization that carries out special missions in Qiliang.The old Duan Lao Miao and Hong Yi'er who escorted him across the river back then were Qi Liang's inner masters.

And Ouchi belongs to a branch of Tianque.

Just like the different missions of Senluo Dao are executed by different Yan Luodians, the internal division of Tianque is more clear. For example, the Vientiane Pavilion is the intelligence branch, and Ouchi belongs to the execution branch.

What's even more coincidental is that the two organizations are directly under the hands of two national teachers who stand at the pinnacle of the world.

It can be said that Xuanshangyu's proud Senluo Dao and Yuan Tiangang's cultivation of Tianque are all fearsome existences today, and they bloomed with chilling light as early as during the Eight Great Powers War.

Now is the year of peace, and the missions of the two special organizations are naturally more covert.

It's just that Tianque's mission has never been very clear, Yi Xiao can't figure it out.
Su Fu seemed to have seen through Yi Xiao's hidden danger, and said with a smile, "You can rest assured that no one will know your whereabouts."

With First Young Master Su leading the way in person, there is no need to worry about its safety.Yi Xiao and Lao Duan walked for about a quarter of an hour before they found out.

The so-called hidden meeting was actually arranged in Tianxiang Casino.

The basement floor of Tianxiang Casino.

Yi Xiao gently pushed open the door of the compartment.

There was an extremely simple tea table inside, with four steaming cups of tea on it, and a smiling young man sat opposite.

"Qi Xiaomu?" Duan Mingsheng was stunned, and the grass roots he was chewing on fell off.

The person in front of him is exactly Qi Xiaomu who was put together by Hu Yanzhuo in the tavern.

"You guys know each other?" Su Fu said, "Since we all know each other, it's easy to handle. You guys chat, I won't bother you." After saying that, he closed the door and went out, leaving the three of them in the quiet room.

Qi Xiaomu saluted His Highness with a smile, then punched Lao Duan in the chest with a smile, "Old Duan, I can meet you no matter where I go. Why are you alone, where is Lao Miao?"

Between Ouchi, the tasks to be performed are top secret, and neither of them knows what tasks they are going to perform.Qi Xiaomu just knew that Duan Mingsheng and Miao Jianghong had been partners for more than ten years, and they went together for almost every task, but he didn't see Miao Jianghong at the moment.

Then Qi Xiaomu frowned, he thought of something gloomy, and pulled the corner of his mouth slightly.

He didn't know where Lao Miao was now, but he knew that a brother died in battle in Qijiang.

Old Duan raised his brows and lowered them, confirming his conjecture.

For a while, Qi Xiaomu couldn't find a word to comfort Lao Duan. Looking at Lao Duan's figure that had obviously lost weight in the past few days, he was silent for a second.

Then the smile returned to the young man's face, as if the death of Pao Ze never happened, but the soulless smile like a doll made him look a little confused.

On his dark brows, the sadness has not dissipated.

It's not that you can't be sad, but you don't want to be sad.

Qi Xiaomu forced a smile and said, "His Royal Highness, my current identity is a peddler in the Jinnanmu business in the Northern Wei Dynasty. When something happens in Fengting City, no matter when Your Highness wants to leave, you can come to Tianxiang Gambling Square to find my subordinate." , Qi Xiaomu has his own way to send His Highness out of the city."

Yi Xiao looked at the four cups of hot tea on the coffee table, thoughtful.

"He has been here?"

Qi Xiaomu naturally knew who Yi Xiao was referring to, he said respectfully, "Master Shaoran did come here, and asked Qi Xiaomu to ensure the safety of His Highness."

"Why don't you want to see me?" Yi Xiao asked with a frown.

Qi Xiaomu was a little helpless, "Master Shaoran has a precarious nature, so Qi Xiaomu can't figure it out. It's just that Master Shaoran had a word before he left, and I don't know if His Royal Highness would like to listen to it."

Yi Xiao said, "But it doesn't matter."

Qi Xiaomu lowered his head and spoke in silence.

"Master Shaoran advises His Highness not to enter the Sword Tomb."

"Master Shaoran still said."

He paused.

"Those who enter the sword mound will die but not live."
