Chapter 417: The Queen of Chess

"Oh? It seems interesting in the building."

As soon as a few people walked in, looking at the scene in the hall, someone spoke. The person who spoke was Xi Muyuan, who had a relationship with Qiu Yan.

Among this group of people, in addition to Zhen Zhizuo and Xi Muyuan, there were also Zheng Yi of Chunqiu Academy, who had met Qiu Yan and An Jin of Jiuyuan Academy.

The remaining few people were also extraordinary. One look and one expression could touch others' minds. Each of them had a strong aura that produced a profound aura. As soon as they entered the building, a burst of aura immediately spread, causing the scholars around them to subconsciously avoid the side.

Those who recognized the identities of several people were even more silent and greeted each other.

These people are the mainstays of several major academies in Dongdu, and are truly core figures. Each of them can be regarded as a banner. In terms of status and Gao Song from Chongli Academy is not too much, and it is even better.

The time chosen by a few people to enter the building is also extraordinary. Although Wenxuan's reviews have no rigid rules and no clear procedures, on the surface, it is just a gathering between literati, but similar things have happened before, so it can roughly estimate the time. Many people understand that in a short time, several great scholars and gentlemen will show up after they have finished annotating and ranked. At that time, the reviews will begin.

Calculating the time is actually imminent. Those who come here at this moment can be regarded as the finale, which is the saying goes, and grasping the degree can reflect a different status than others.

This is also a situation specially created by Xi Muyuan. On the way, he first met Gao Song and fought with him, which had a slight advantage. Then he met friends from other academies. After the conversation, he met Zhen Zhizuo and Zheng Yi. He greeted him with him. Finally, there were unexpected guests and greetings.

After one or two rounds, the time spent was all under Xi Muyuan's calculations. When he arrived at Wenxuan Tower, this final situation was formed.

However, according to Xi Muyuan's idea, when they walked into the building, they must have faced pairs of surprised and awe-inspiring eyes, but at the moment, although they were also full of awe-inspiring eyes, there were too few.

With a turn of his eyes, Xi Muyuan noticed that most of the people were surrounding a corner of the hall, not knowing what they were looking at. The Confucian scholar on the outside even tiptoed, stretched his neck, and looked in desperately. Someone stood directly on the stairs next to him, staring condescendingly, nodding from time to time.

"Sirs, you guys, shouldn't have ranked the article yet and have not been circulated on everyone. Why are they all surrounded by one place?" Xi Muyuan suppressed his unhappiness, looked at it with the flow, and said unintentionally.

As soon as this was finished, a loud voice came from outside the door—

"Since Mr. Xi is curious, we might as well go over and take a look, and we will naturally know."

The sound fell, and a strong man walked in, wearing a tiger-backed and bear-beared waist, but was stretched tightly by his bloated muscles, giving people a strong and powerful feeling.

After the man came in, he touched his hair. His hair was wrapped around a headscarf, crooked and scattered. It can be seen that it was tied up temporarily. Perhaps in a hurry, without careful Dali, it was messy, which was inappropriate.

The man's skin is slightly dark, his appearance and expression are very different from those of the Central Plains, giving people a fierce feeling. Although his tone is accurate when speaking, there is a little ending sound remaining, which is a bit strange.

However, such a fierce man was smiling kindly at this time, and expressed respect and praise to Xi Muyuan, Zhen Zhizuo and others. His words were thoughtful and more enthusiastic than ordinary people in the Central Plains.

"Brother Doru said it well, so I went over and take a look." Xi Muyuan smiled slightly, was very friendly to the strong man, and called out his name.

This person is Doru, who once walked with King Yan.

It can be seen that the fragrance of books in the Duolun building is suppressing his temperament. While Xi Muyuan was speaking, he looked around for a few times, showing his envy without any concealment: "It is worthy of being the Middle Earth Heavenly Kingdom. Even the layout in the building is particular. I am a rough person, but I can't see the subtle meaning, but I can also feel the extraordinary and profound meaning from the details, as if I can calm my mind and calm my mind."

Zhen Zhizuo said: "The owner of Wenxuan is an amazing person. The reason why he agreed to list this building as a review this time is based on the appearance of several gentlemen."

"So that's it." Doru quickly thanked Zhen Zhizuo, his posture was very low. However, when he bowed his head and bowed, a burst of light burst out from his eyes, revealing a desire to snatch everything around him into his hands. He just waited for him to look up, the abnormality in his eyes disappeared, and replaced by a look of respect.

Due to the perspective of vision, people around them did not notice any abnormality.

While speaking, several people stepped onto the stairs. Confucian scholars along the way recognized several people and bowed and retreated one after another.

Doru said again: "Everyone knows the etiquette of the Celestial Empire, and the orderly up and down. If our grassland can do this, that would be great. When we go back this time, I hope that some of us can appreciate the faces so that we can wait for the grassland people to bathe in the literary thoughts of the Celestial Empire."

Xi Muyuan smiled and said, "Brother Doru, you really know how to get into trouble."

Doru shook his head and said, "Isn't there a saying in the Central Plains that 'Gold and stone are opened by sincerity'? Someone believes that as long as he perseveres, he will definitely impress you gentlemen." When he spoke, his eyes swept over Zhen Zhizuo and the others, with a sincere look on his face, but he received no response.

Although he was treated coldly, Duru had no intention of being discouraged and still smiled.

"Okay, don't mention this matter for the time being, if you have any intention..." Xi Muyuan was saying, but his words stopped abruptly, his smile froze on his face, his pupils suddenly shrank, and a figure reflected—

That was Qiu Yan who was playing chess.

At this time, they walked up to the stairs and looked down from a high place. Their eyes passed over the crowd and fell inside, and they saw clearly the scene of Qiu Yan playing chess with others.

"Yeah? Isn't this Qiu Yan? He is here too." Zhen Zhizuo couldn't help but speak out when he saw it.

"It's not just that. In my opinion, Mr. Qiu's plan is very small." Zheng Yi from the Chunqiu Academy also commented, with a smile on his face.

"Huh?" Doru looked at the eyes of several people, and his eyes swept over the two playing chess, and finally stopped on Qiu Yan, "Isn't this the old friend of King Yan?"

He recognized Qiu Yan immediately and felt aroused.

A few days ago, he was in contact with King Yan and happened to meet Qiu Yan. After listening to Yang Ying's words, Doru realized Qiu Yan's extraordinaryness and developed a desire to make friends, but was stopped by King Yan and eventually left it alone.

Looking back afterwards, he couldn't help but sigh in secret, but he didn't expect to meet him again here.

"This time, I can't let it go easily..."

While Doru was thinking, the chess game was already clear. When he saw the man opposite Qiu Yan sighed, he then gave in and gave in. After getting up, he bowed to Qiu Yan again, with a respectful attitude and a polite word.

Not only this person, but there were three or four people standing aside around the table. From the subtle expressions of these people, you could see the respect. When Qiu Yan stood up, the few of them took two steps back, and there was a faint smell of performing disciple rituals.

The man surnamed Hu was also among them.

In fact, five sets have passed since Gao Song admitted defeat and the man surnamed Hu came forward. In these five sets, only one person actually finished one round, and the others have admitted defeat in the middle set.

"Even Jiang Han gave up before he even entered the middle of the game."

"Is this Qiu Yan so powerful?"

"I don't know if it's my illusion, but these people who play chess seem to have changed a little..."

"It shouldn't be. There is no fixed situation when talking about chess and competing for mental and will. Qiu Yan's chess skills are not high. There is no reason to force so many people to admit defeat in the middle game, and many of them still have the advantage."

"Anyway, Qiu Yan is going to become famous."

"This person has a reputation, and after this time, he will inevitably become famous."

The sound of discussion made Xi Muyuan's face look even more ugly, but Nadolu's eyes shone. At the same time, listening to the conversation between Zhen Zhizuo and others, he slowly understood Qiu Yan's background.

When Doru heard that the defeat of Shucheng He and Mr. Chen caused Mr. Chen, a strong emotional fluctuation burst out in his eyes. He wanted to go down and make friends with Qiu Yan immediately. Fortunately, he knew the severity and knew that leaving at this time would mean offending everyone present, so he held back again.

"Let's bear it for a while. If I go down now, I have no advantage. Since Qiu Yan has an old relationship with King Yan, I have helped King Yan a lot. It should be no problem to use this favor in exchange for King Yan's recommendation. If I can invite this person back to the grassland..."

His thoughts fluctuated and he made a plan.

"Qiu Yan has some reputation these days, and it's not surprising that he appears here. However, the review has not yet begun, but he is playing chess there, which seems not solemn enough." Xi Muyuan shook his head. He noticed the change in his expression, and even noticed that the people around Qiu Yan's attitude towards Qiu Yan, and he felt unhappy in his heart. He wanted to suppress Qiu Yan's arrogance.

"Gao Song is also joining in the fun..." After another look, Xi Muyuan turned around and said to the people around him: "Forget it, don't worry about this for now. I told the teacher the day before yesterday that I wanted to listen to the teachings of all the gentlemen. The teacher allowed me to go into the house and watch quietly, and said that the opportunity was rare. If you are interested, you might as well go together."

As he said that, he apologized to Doru: "Brother Doru, please forgive me, this..."

"Mr. Xi, don't say much, some family understands." Doru waved his hand, "I came from the grassland, and I will visit you all at this time, and I will go up to meet the prince." Despite this, he inevitably showed regret, and his thoughts on Qiu Yan were much weaker.

"It's a pity that there are the top people in Dongdu Wendao. Looking at the world, I'm afraid I can still gain a few talents. If I can visit and leave an impression, maybe..."

He saw the regret on Doru's face. Xi Muyuan was proud and felt that he had moved back to the game. He turned his head to look at Qiu Yan again, said no more, and then led a few people upstairs.

"Even if you are in trouble here and are famous in the literary world of Dongdu, you are just a scholar who is studying. But I can share the same room with you and listen to the witty words nearby. In this way, you can judge the superiority and inferiority." (To be continued. Please search for Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!)
