Chapter 87 A Small Wooden Sign
"Li Zi, this is not my fault. It's your own fault for being slow."
Then, Yunshan held Lian Feiluo in one hand and said softly, "Luo'er, from today on, you are the young master of my Cangshan Yun Clan. Don't pay attention to those people with ulterior motives."
Lian Feiluo looked at the token in his hand, then looked at Li Zi's unhappy expression, and immediately responded crisply: "Yes, Luo'er listens to the master."
"Pfft...hahaha...you're truly worthy of being a member of the Yun family. Great, great!"
Seeing Yunshan's smug look, Li Zi glared at him unhappily, then looked at the other five children of the Lian family and said, "It's not easy to study with us, so be prepared."
"I'm ready."
Hearing the unanimous response, Li Zi nodded happily, then looked at the children and said, "Today, let's take a look at your respective real situations. Who will come first?"
Lian Feiluo, who was held by Yunshan, opened his big eyes and looked at his uncle who had been silent beside him, and then thought to himself: What a cunning fox.
Yes, not only did A Tian just stare silently, but even his facial expression didn't change at all.
When Lian Feiluo set her eyes on the stern-faced Li Zi, she heard the voice of her eldest brother.
"Sir, Minglou comes first, sir, please ask questions."
Looking at the fifteen-year-old boy in front of them, who was still able to study as usual in this place of exile, Yunshan and he both exclaimed in surprise. In addition to surprise, there was also a hint of vigilance in the boy's eyes.
At this moment, he was looking at himself seriously, with clear eyes.
The two of them stared at each other for a while before Li Zi finally spoke up, "You were playing chess just now, so I'll test you with this chess game."
"This chess has nine grades. Which one is the highest?"
As soon as Li Zi finished speaking, Lian Minglou responded, "There are nine grades of chess: first grade, intoxicated, second grade, seated, third grade, detailed, fourth grade, subtle, fifth grade, intelligent, sixth grade, delicate, seventh grade, fighting force, eighth grade, foolish, ninth grade, and first grade is the highest."
Seeing that Lian Minglou answered quickly, Li Zi asked another question, and Lian Minglou answered them one by one.
Looking at Lian Minglou who responded fluently, Li Zi set his sights on Lian Mingtao again. After a moment of hesitation, he asked, "Lian Mingtao, you answer this question."
"Yes, sir."
"Chess has its own language. Do you know what the word 'split' is in this language?"
"Sir, I know." He looked at Li Zi seriously and said, "To dismantle means to use our original chess pieces on the board as a reference and then make a move to the left or right a certain number of ways on the third or fourth line."
"A one-way split is called a one-way split; a two-way split is called a two-way split; and a three-way split is called a three-way split. Splitting is often used to expand territory or gain one's own territory. Sometimes it is also used to expand territory, gain one's own territory, and search for the opponent's territory."
Hearing that nine-year-old Lian Mingtao could also speak so coherently, Li Zi became even more confused.
The Lian family's children are good at chess and know a lot about it.
Li Zi looked at Lian Mingtao again, then set his sights on Lian Feishi, who was also nine years old, and whispered, "Lian Feishi, you answer this question."
Lian Feishi bent her knees and replied, "Yes, sir."
"What does the word 'feng' mean in chess language? When is it usually used?"
"Sir, the word 'feng' in chess language, as the name suggests, means to blockade. It is a move on the chessboard that blocks the enemy's pieces from moving outwards."
"Its purpose is to prevent the opponent's pieces from advancing. "Seal" can also be said to be blocking the opponent's pieces' escape routes. It's often used in attacks."
What these three people said was right, which made Li Zi feel deeply moved.
Nine years old, think about what you were doing when you were nine years old
I really want to go back to that time and slap myself a few times.
Yunshan, who was holding little Philo, was also deeply touched. Judging from the performance of the Lian family's children, these children must have been exposed to chess when they were very young.
After looking at the five children one by one, Yunshan set his sights on the youngest, Lian Mingli.
If he remembered correctly, after the game just now, the one Lian Mingxu called "big brother" was him. It seemed that this kid was a hidden talent, and he was also a person who pretended to be a pig and was the tiger.
With this kid around, Mu Xuanji will definitely stay in Yushan. It's just a pity for Li Zi, as he has to be scolded by his nagging master...
Yunshan saw it clearly here, and Li Zi, who was setting the questions over there, was actually also very clear that these children really did not have any talent at all.
After looking between Lian Mingxu and Lian Mingli, Li Zi said seriously, "Lian Mingxu, if we were playing chess, which of them would you least want to be your opponent?"
Hearing this question, not only Mingxu was a little confused, but Yunshan and A Tian were also a little confused.
They didn't know why Li Zi asked this question, but when they saw Lian Mingxu recover in an instant, then looked around, and finally set his eyes on the little girl held by Yunshan, they all became suspicious.
Lian Feiluo played with the token in both hands and looked at her second brother with a smile: "Second brother, the teacher asked you a question, why don't you answer?"
Seeing his sister's smiling face, Lian Mingxu felt so soft-hearted that he turned to look at Li Zi with a smile and replied, "In reply to your question, sir, the last thing I want to do is play chess with Mingli."
"Oh why"
“When playing against Mingli, you never know where his next move will be.”
Hearing this, Li Zi and the other two looked at Lian Mingli, trying to figure out how he wanted to respond.
However, Lian Mingli did not respond. Instead, he looked at Li Zi for a moment, then took out a wooden sign from the calf strap and handed it to Li Zi.
When Li Zi saw the wooden sign handed over by Lian Mingli, he immediately took it with wide eyes. After looking at it carefully, he asked, "Where did this come from?"
Hearing Li Zi's question, Lian Mingli felt like biting someone, then rolled his eyes and asked, "What's the use of this little wooden sign?"
"you do not know"
"What do I know"
Hearing Lian Mingli's unhappy voice, Li Zi asked again: "You really don't know anything?"
"I want to know what this wooden sign is. I exchanged it for a pheasant. I don't even know what it's for. Since you recognize it, I'll give it to you."
Looking at the small wooden sign in his hand, Li Zi didn't dare to agree. He hurriedly walked to Lian Mingli and wanted to return the sign to him. However, Lian Mingli had originally planned to give the sign to Li Zi, so how could he let Li Zi succeed?
So, this scene happened in the Lian family yard.
A little boy was running in front, dodging left and right, while Li Zi was chasing him from behind, shouting, "Stop, stop now..."
"If you don't chase me, I'll stop. Tell that old man who stole my pheasant that I want to stay by my sister's side to protect her. As for that wooden sign, you guys should just play with it yourselves."
Then he quickly ran to Yunshan, looked at him and said, "Mr. Yun, my sister is still young and needs time to grow up. I want to be by her side to protect her."
