After signing his name on the award record book, Zhang Yan got his bonus, two hundred yuan plus an amateur four-stage certificate. Zhang Yan first put the certificate, then took out the money from the envelope, and happily ordered the money. One hundred and fifty and twenty, I, Wang Laowu, have never seen so much money!

Zhang Yan ordered some money, but the clerk there couldn't wait, so he patted Zhang Yan on the shoulder: "Zhang Yan, Mr. Xiao from Yingang Academy wants to see you."

"Yinggang Academy? Xiao Yunqi" had a deep impression of Zhang Yan. The secretary-general of Yinzhou Go Association was not only the top among amateur chess players, but also some professional chess players have won. In the 1996 Wenping Commentary Show, Hua Yigang let the second son play against Xiao Yunqi. Zhang Yan saw that game of chess. Hua Yigang did not gain any advantage from beginning to end. In the end, Hua Yigang actually lost in the middle, which shows Xiao Yunqi's chess skills.

If you can get Xiao Yunqi's guidance, then maybe your chess power will go up to the next level. Thinking of this, Zhang Yan quickly said goodbye to the clerk and went to Yingang Academy to find Xiao Yunqi. Yinzhou City is not big. After ten minutes, he walked from the government compound to Yingang Academy and knocked on the door. After a while, a middle-aged man opened the door, looked at Zhang Yan and asked, "Are you Zhang Yan?"

Zhang Yan nodded and looked at the man carefully. He had a national face, tall figure, and his hair was very neatly combed. In Zhang Yan's impression, Xiao Yunqi was not so young, so Zhang Yan tentatively said, "Who are you?"

The man smiled: "My name is Li Meng, Mu Zi Li, Meng of Confucius and Mencius, now he is doing chores here with Mr. Xiao."

Zhang Yan also smiled, without saying anything, and he didn't believe Li Meng's words. Li Meng also smiled and brought Zhang Yan in. The pavilions and pavilions of the academy were arranged in an orderly manner. Although it was a hot summer day, the cool breeze was secretly blowing, and even the irritability in summer was much less. Zhang Yan nodded. The courtyard was so exquisitely arranged, Xiao Yunqi must have been extraordinary in his heart.

Li Meng brought Zhang Yan to the first room in the east wing. This room was not spacious. There was a table of eight immortals in the house and a group of Taishi chairs. It was the seat for the teacher to teach. There was a kang from north to south. There was a pair of ancient bookcases placed on the east wall. Each wrote a couplet. It was far away and could not be seen clearly. The handwriting was indeed scribbled with a strong sense of righteousness.

After Li Meng took Zhang Yan to this room, he said, "Please wait." Then he left the east wing room, leaving Zhang Yan alone there. He sat there for a long time, but no one came. Zhang Yan couldn't do it, so he walked to the bookcase and looked carefully at the couplet to relieve his boredom.

Zhang Yan couldn't help but be surprised after looking at it for a while. Although the words and sentences of these two couplets are not surprising, the calligraphy inside is surprising. It is majestic, full of energy, simple and unpretentious, and not carved but intriguing. The more you taste it, the more you feel that there is a strong and strong spirit in it. Zhang Yan's calligrapher at that time could not think of the one who could have such a great spirit and write such good words.

Zhang Yan couldn't help but feel a little shocked, calmed down and started to simulate the handwriting of this couplet. After simulations several times, he felt that he was very strong. There were so many twists and turns. Just when he was about to force his breath to finish it, footsteps came from outside, and Zhang Yan hurried back to his seat.

The door opened, an old man with white hair and silver beard in a long blue gown walked in, just swept Zhang Yan's body, and saw that Zhang Yan was so young, a strange color flashed in his eyes and asked, "You are Zhang Yan, are you?"

Zhang Yan hurriedly stood up, "Old Xiao, I am Zhang Yan." After saying that, he stood there quietly. When Xiao Yunqi said something, he could not ask some questions directly.

Xiao Yunqi stroked his beard, pondered for a moment and said to Zhang Yan: "You played chess pretty well, I want to talk to you today."

Zhang Yan's heart was thrilled and said, "Well, is it my honor to be able to fight against Xiao Laowenping?"

Xiao Yunqi snorted, ignored Zhang Yan's flattery, stepped out of the east wing and walked towards the west wing opposite, and Zhang Yan followed him. He saw that the chessboard and chess pieces in the west wing had been placed, and Xiao Yunqi sat in the main seat (facing the door), and his eyes looked at Zhang Yan like a tiger.

Zhang Yan sat in the guest seat (with his back to the door), then opened the chess box and looked at it. He silently moved the black chess to his side and the white chess to Xiao Yunqi. This kind of etiquette is a kind of humility for the younger generation to the elders. He admits that he lacks the ability of the chess. Xiao Yunqi nodded slightly, and his expression improved a lot.

Then Zhang Yan took out a handkerchief and wiped it on the chessboard, and then made a move on the chessboard. This is also a ritual of Go. The younger generations expressed respectfully to the elders, but they were rarely seen in Go competitions. Zhang Yan did not do this on purpose, but felt that in the face of a strong player like Xiao Yunqi, he could not defeat this amateur top chess player without showing 100% sincerity and determination.

Seeing Zhang Yan so polite, Xiao Yunqi's face immediately softened, and he also picked up a white piece and placed it on the chessboard. The two played chess very quickly, and they all took the same chess shape. This was Zhang Yan's strength. After only ten minutes of playing a game of chess, the winner was decided, and Zhang Yan lost to Xiao Yunqi in half.

"How is that possible?!" Zhang Yan was shocked and angry, unable to believe his own pointing results. Although he did not specifically check the situation, his strong players played a role in several local breaks. He felt that he had taken advantage of a little at that time, but why did he take advantage of five or six, and in the end he lost eight and a half eyes, which was almost the same as a difference of one sub-district!

Zhang Yan blinked his eyes and then carefully lit it, hoping that he had pointed it wrong, but in the end, it was still like that, the white chess was eight-eyed and half-win. Zhang Yan took a deep breath, his expression returned to calm, and he bowed deeply to Xiao Yunqi and asked respectfully: "Old Mr. Xiao, I don't understand this game of chess, can I give some advice?"

Xiao Yunqi nodded, put Bai Zi into the chess box little by little, and asked: "You have a strong combat power, have you read the 'Fayang Theory'?"

Zhang Yan nodded: "Yes." He then silently collected the chess pieces.

"Then I ask you, what is yang?

"What is yang?" Zhang Yan had never thought about this question, and his hand holding the chess piece froze. After thinking for a long time, he realized that "the Japanese regard the general trend as Yin, and the hidden means in the chess are 'yang'. The "Yang Theory" means to discover its hidden "yang" from the surface of the chess, a must-kill attack."

Nodded, Xiao Yunqi put away the white chess and then looked at the chessboard. Zhang Yan immediately began to review the game. Xiao Yunqi's eyes were vague and looked at Zhang Yan and said, "The Fayang Theory is indeed the strongest method, so your mid-range battle is not inferior to me, and is even stronger than me. But what I am pursuing is "Tao". No matter how strong the Fayang Theory is, it is just a technique. Although it can turn the world around in many cases, when encountering masters who are clear in the overall situation and do not judge the victory or defeat by gains and losses at a time, your technique will lose its power, look."

Xiao Yunqi pointed to the lower right corner and the right side

"These two black chess are in a corner, and they cannot connect with each other, and they have to fight for life. Just like the fish in a dry fish pond, they can neither support each other nor forget each other. Even though they survive in the end, they have nothing to gain. You feel that you have taken advantage of the gap on the right. But have you ever thought that two black chess that are surviving are not burdens, and they cannot be lost, and they cannot be protected. With these two useless things, how can you let go of the chess in other places? From the beginning, if this place is not made, there will be no problem with the chess in this corner."

Zhang Yan looked at the chessboard and thought carefully. Xiao Yunqi's voice was not loud, but it sounded like a thunder in his heart.

"If you don't understand the general trend, you will only immerse yourself in the dispute over means. The means will only go in the opposite direction and become inferior. Only by understanding the general trend will the means be icing on the cake. You must think clearly about the Tao here. Let's come here today. If you have time in the future, you can come to me at any time, and I am usually here."

"Well, thank you Mr. Xiao." Zhang Yan put away the chess piece and felt a little excited. Although Xiao Yunqi was able to speak chess, he vaguely brought some life insights, which was very beneficial to him. So he stood up and bowed, and walked out of Yingang Academy.

When the gate of the academy was closed, Xiao Yunqi smiled slightly, and his fingers gently pulled on the chessboard, and the chessboard made a slight and low echo.

"Old Xiao, what do you think of this kid?" Ma Zixing walked out of the inner room and looked at Xiao Yunqi with a smile.

Xiao Yunqi glanced at Ma Zixing and said quietly, "This kid looks pretty good. What's going on next depends on his understanding."

"Should you give me some rewards? You don't know how much effort I have put in to give you two masters and apprentices. It depends on whether you should give me some affordable benefits in this effort."

Ma Zixing's words made Xiao Yunqi amused: "I'm just a fool, you are a county-level cadre at least, why are you like a rascal? Besides, what can I give you? Didn't Xiao Ma pave all your paths? He also used me, an old man to make trouble."

Ma Zixing smiled heartlessly, and his eyes were sincere without saying anything. Judging from his posture, he was a little reluctant to leave. Xiao Yunqi sighed, and the hob was helpless: "In the next few years, the central government means to go lightly. If you want to go up smoothly, don't get involved in the company."

"It's worthy of being Mr. Xiao, I'm really sure. Then I'll go back first. The party school has to attend classes." Ma Zixing left happily. Looking at Ma Zixing's back, Xiao Yunqi cursed rarely, "Little bandit, like him." After cursing, he didn't know what he thought of, and laughed happily again.

Zhang Yan ran to his grandfather's house. As soon as the door opened, his grandfather's voice came.

"At that time, it was all messy when fighting Liao Yaoxiang. Mr. Lin said, "When there was gunfire there, we would go wherever we could shoot. Our battalion plunged into Lao Jiang's bag and was blocked into the ravine. A rocket launcher hit the head and faced him. It was so miserable that there were only a hundred or so left in the battalion..."

Zhang Yan was so happy. This was too processing. So he walked to the second floor and saw that Liu Mingjie's face was a little stiff. He said, "Grandpa, you are wrong. This happened during the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea. Several Americans intercepted your camp at Dowashan. You said that the Kuomintang did not have rocket launchers at that time."

After hearing what his grandson exposed, Zhou Yunlong's face remained unchanged and he slapped his thigh. "Yes, I felt something was wrong. It turned out that I had messed up with the wrong partner. It's okay, I will continue to tell you that when I was fighting Heishan that year..."

When Zhang Yan saw that it was not good, his grandfather wanted to fight a protracted battle today, so he interrupted, "Grandpa, I think it's not too early, let's go back first, and come and talk to you another day. If Liu Mingjie comes home late, his family will be anxious."

As soon as he said this, Zhou Yunlong was not good at saying anything, so he took out a jade bracelet from the table and asked Liu Mingjie to put it on. Liu Mingjie's face turned slightly red, and he stood up and said no. Zhou Yunlong naturally refused, saying, "I don't have the habit of recycling things for others." Zhang Yan looked at it, grabbed Liu Mingjie's hand and put it on her without saying a word. Zhou Yunlong was happy and waved his hand to send the two away.

After leaving the door, Liu Mingjie was a little unhappy and took off the bracelet and handed it to Zhang Yan.

"Zhang Yan, why are you accepting gifts for me? This gift is too heavy and I can't accept it."

In the sun, the bracelet was glowing with a faint green light. Zhang Yan put it away and smiled and said, "You don't know my grandfather's temper. If you push him again, you will definitely throw the bracelet. A few years ago, my uncle brought his girlfriend over. Grandpa just made a bracelet. As a result, the girl also refused. As a result, grandpa threw the bracelet on the spot, making everyone unable to get out of Taiwan."

"It fell!" Liu Mingjie was shocked. The unhappiness was gone. The rest of my thoughts were heartbroken. What a good pair of bracelets, what a pity it was to fall. What a level of your grandpa? Is it a teacher level? He showed me a lot of medals, why haven't I heard you say before?"

Zhang Yan was amused when he heard this, "Hehe, I can't tell you my grandfather's level. I'll scare you when I say it. By the way, Gu Yali's grandfather is hospitalized. I thought it wasn't that the Go competition won the prize money, and I paid the money for Gu Yali to treat the disease. Do you think it's okay?"

"Why should you ask me about your money?"

"You are my wife, and my wallet will be yours in the future. Who do you ask?"

"Hate, take advantage of me." Liu Mingjie was embarrassed and ran over to chase Zhang Yan. The two of them ran to the hospital with laughter.

"What, do you say they were discharged from the hospital?" In the ward on the second floor, Zhang Yan did not see Gu Yali, nor did he see the injured and unconscious old white-headed man. He only found out after asking the nurse. After the old white-head woke up yesterday morning, he insisted on leaving. Although the hospital leaders all expressed that they could treat the disease first and then pay the money, the old white-headed man still forced himself to leave the hospital.

"This old white man is stubborn and seems to be trying to harm him. Last night, I brought a bunch of military medals and said that he was begged here to pay for medical expenses. I will redeem it when I have money. I don't know how to deal with it." The nurse finished speaking and left angrily. I guess she was so angry that she was so angry by this old white man.

"Wife, what should I do next?" Zhang Yan was very upset when he didn't receive anyone, so he asked Liu Mingjie.

Liu Mingjie looked outside and said hesitantly: "Let's go find Gu Yali. Last time I remember it seemed to be behind the park. I might find it if I asked."

Zhang Yan had some other thoughts and grabbed Liu Mingjie. "Wait, if we go to find one, it may not work. I gave Gu Yali money a few days ago. At that time, Lao Baitou didn't wake up, and she was so scared that she didn't ask for it in the end. Now Lao Baitou has woken up, so Gu Yali dared not ask for our things."

"This is not OK, that is not OK. What should I do? You are going to have an idea." Liu Mingjie stomped her feet and was very coquettish. Zhang Yan thought for a while and said, "When playing Go, I met the man named Wang Tiehan. He said that he works in the Mechanical Bureau and probably he is the leader. If he speaks, the boss of the Hongxing Steel Factory dare not ignore it. No matter how stubborn the old man is, he cannot compete with the organization. The remaining things will be much easier."
