In Chinese chess, the Chu River and Han Border divide the board into two sides: red and black.
Although Grandpa was at a significant disadvantage, his stubborn resistance made it difficult for him to be defeated in the short term.
Lu Yibei then led Ji Qingqian to watch for a short while.
Even if many Chinese people don't understand how to play chess, they are still clear about the basic rules.
But Ji Qingqian is an exception.
She didn't even know the function of each piece in chess.
Lu Yibei then explained to her:
"First of all, the 'commander' and the 'general' are the foundation; if either one is lost, then we lose."
Ji Qingqian nodded knowingly:
"crystal."
"...Well, you could say that."
Lu Yibei continued, "That 'chariot' is actually pronounced 'ju'. It can fly straight and capture pieces along its path."
Ji Qingqian had just watched the enemy's Grandpa push the minion wave.
The soldier could only walk step by step. Upon hearing about the miraculous use of the "vehicle," a slight look of surprise appeared on his face.
"So powerful, is it a numerical monster?"
"...As for the cannon, it moves in the same way as the chariot, but to capture a piece, it needs to be separated by one piece, like hitting a cow across a mountain."
Ji Qingqian nodded silently:
"Wow, this mechanism is weird."
"Then, the way the horse moves is rather strange, requiring a certain amount of skill."
"Looks like a pro player, amazing skills..."
The heroine Qingqian has an amazing ability to understand, and she quickly figured out the basic rules of the chessboard.
As for the chessboard now, the battle is still raging with overwhelming force.
Those watching the game around them displayed an attitude that seemed to say, "If a true gentleman observes a game in silence, then I'd rather be a villain."
"Old Lu, your car's gone, how are you going to play now?"
"Listen to me, switch to his horse!"
"You only have a bishop left, so give up—"
Then, under Lu Ming's increasingly gloomy expression...
He lost as expected.
The old man opposite Grandpa started collecting the coins, and casually asked Lu Yibei:
"Xiao Lu, do you know how to play chess?"
"I know a little."
Lu Yibei replied humbly, "My dad taught me..."
Grandpa's eyes lit up immediately, and he gave his grandson a push on the shoulder:
“Yi Bei, you come and play the next game with the old man.”
“Eh…”
Some people were initially dissatisfied.
After all, those who came to play chess had to wait in line, and it would be his turn soon. However, he didn't wait long; the man, who was about the same age as the grandfather, stroked his chin:
"Never mind, it's rare for Xiao Lu to come all this way."
"oh?"
Grandpa also got interested: "Then I'll play with you, Xiao Lu."
Lu Yibei glanced back at his girlfriend.
She didn't mind at all, just nodded to him and gestured for him to look.
Since that's the case, Lu Yibei would rather not refuse.
After all, the elder who was already in line had asked him to let him have his way, so refusing would be a waste of his kindness.
Lu Yibei sets up a chessboard with his grandfather.
Grandpa asked with a smile:
"Do you want me to give you the chariot, horse, and cannon?"
This is also a way of playing. In a chess set, each side has two pairs of rooks, knights, and cannons, which are the main pieces for offense and defense.
Giving up a set of chariots, horses, and cannons is like cutting off one's own arm in a fight; it's Grandpa's way of taking care of the younger generation... or rather, the newcomers.
Lu Yibei also laughed:
"Why don't you just give me the 'handsome' title too?"
Hahahaha.
The old man understood the young man's tactful refusal, so he set up his defenses.
The two engaged in a back-and-forth battle.
On one hand, old ginger is spicier.
On one side, the vegetables are tender and fresh.
On one hand, there's the past experience of being deeply immersed in chess.
On one side are the plans and calculations of young minds.
Lu Yibei lost a shot first, then turned the tables and took over Grandpa's car.
The Chu River and Han border were crossed, and battles raged on.
It has to be said that this grandfather is very capable, and Lu Yibei felt that his grandfather's defeat was not unjust.
Under constant pressure from the opponent, Lu Yibei got off to a bad start.
Subsequently, Lu Yibei was plunged into a fierce battle.
Lu Yibei is caught in a dilemma.
Lu Yibei is making a desperate struggle!
"Well, you were lucky. Besides, you just played a game with my grandfather, so you must be tired, which affected your performance," Lu Yibei said in his acceptance speech.
He successfully checkmated the handsome man opposite him.
The old man sitting opposite him looked at the chessboard with some disbelief, then glanced at the calm and composed young man in front of him.
He scratched his already sparse gray hair hard... all the way to his scalp.
His entire being exuded an aura of "something has happened".
"Wait, wait..."
Grandpa mentally reviewed the situation: "...Wait a minute. Let's play another game, and another game."
"Hey hey hey, your mom's playing dumb."
The old man next to him stopped him, saying, "It's my turn to play now."
"Why is it your turn to play?"
Another disgruntled person said, "It's my turn next!"
"Didn't you give your seat to Xiao Lu?"
"What do you mean by 'letting go'? I was just letting him cut in line; if it were up to him, it would be my turn!"
"He actually let someone cut in line! Hey! I thought you were a person of high moral character, but I didn't expect you to be such a shameless scoundrel!"
"This is my house, and the chess set is mine too. Come on, Xiao Lu, let's play another game. This time, let's take it slow."
"What's wrong with your house? Don't I have any chess pieces? Come on, Xiao Lu, come to my house, and you can study the chess moves for me."
The elderly men around them were overjoyed.
Although they love playing chess, they are constantly facing these few incompetent chess players who they know inside and out, which is a real hardship for them, but they have no other choice.
