Although this is just a friendly match, Lin Beifan being able to fight and win against five opponents with a ratio of 1 to 5 is truly an inspiring and celebratory achievement! Its even more delightful than winning the chess game itself!
Because if he can win 1 vs. 5, can he possibly lose 1 vs. 1?
The cheers from outside have already pierced through the high walls and entered the martial arts arena.
The representatives of the Great Yan team have extremely unpleasant expressions.
The civil and military officials are very happy.
The Empress was thrilled: Sir Lin, you played this game well, your moves are brilliant! Your chess skills are definitely number one in Great Wu, unparalleled in history. You can be called a master of the chess world!
Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty. I am unworthy, Lin Beifan smiled.
The Empress turned to look at the representatives of Great Yan with a smile on her face: Third Prince of Great Yan, even though you lost, it doesnt matter! Friendship comes first, competition comes second. This is just a friendly match and doesnt affect the Yan and Wu competition. Dont take it to heart.
The representatives of Great Yan have even more unpleasant expressions.
Its easy for her to say since its not them who lost!
Being swept away 1 vs. 5 is like having their faces slapped on the ground and trampled mercilessly, losing all face!
They would rather lose the actual chess game than the friendly match!
They cant help but feel a twinge of regret!
If they had known that his chess skills were so extraordinary, they wouldnt have competed with him!
Losing face in a 1 vs. 1 match is still acceptable!
Losing face in a 1 vs. 5 match is utterly embarrassing!
Third Prince of Great Yan, now that the friendly match is over, lets continue our chess competition! the Empress said with a smile.
After witnessing Lin Beifans chess skills, she is no longer worried about the outcome!
Instead, she is eagerly looking forward to Lin Beifan humiliating them once again!
Humiliating them to the point where they question their existence!
Humiliating them to the point where they cant even take care of themselves!
Let them know that even though Great Wus power has declined, we are not to be trifled with!
Your Majesty of Great Wu, its not necessary! With Sir Lin alone, we have no chance of winning, so this chess game
The Third Prince of Great Yan forced out four words with an extremely unpleasant expression: We surrender!
The Empress tried to dissuade him: Third Prince of Great Yan, dont give up on yourself! The game is not yet over, how can you abandon hope? Remember, man can conquer destiny. Without striving and fighting, you wont truly understand despair!
The Great Yan side: Dammit!
Lin Beifan waved his hand like a madam: Come, come, friends from Great Yan, lets play a few more rounds! This time, Ill hold back a bit and let you die with dignity!
Great Yan side: Fuck!
The representatives of Great Yan trembled with anger!
Evil people!
All of you are evil people!
The Third Prince decisively said, Your Majesty of Great Wu, theres really no need! We, Great Yan, surrender in this chess game! Please dont persuade us any further, my decision is made!
The Empress and Lin Beifan sighed, feeling deeply regretful.
At this moment, the Third Prince continued, Your Majesty of Great Wu, its getting late, and the participants on both sides have expended a great deal of mental energy. Its time to rest! Therefore, lets suspend the literary competition and continue tomorrow, how about that?
The Empress smiled slightly, clearly they suffered too much defeat, the blow was too great, and their morale was low, so they wanted to regroup.
Alright, we will suspend the literary competition and continue tomorrow!
The first day of the Yan-Wu Competition was over.
In the matches, Lin Beifan, representing Great Wu, forced the Great Yan side to surrender with his classic masterpiece, A Laugh at the Sea. Afterwards, with his extraordinary chess skills, he once again forced Great Yan to surrender.
Two consecutive victories, the people of the capital were uplifted and jubilant.
Two consecutive wins, indeed, Great Wu is the strongest!
With just Lin Beifan, he completely outshone all the talents of Great Yan! He is the one who guards the pass, unbeatable by ten thousand foes!
Lin Beifan truly deserves to be called a literature star!
I believe as long as Lin Beifan is here, the literary competition is secure!
Due to their overwhelming joy, many people outside were singing and dancing, singing Lin Beifans A Laugh at the Sea.
Lalala~~
Lalala~~
In contrast, the representatives of Great Yan in the inn wore gloomy expressions.
When they set off from Great Yan, they were full of confidence and ambitious aspirations!
They thought that with their vast knowledge, they would definitely dominate the Yan-Wu Competition and completely defeat the representative team of Great Wu!
To achieve great success and fame, to have their names spread far and wide, was within their reach!
But reality slapped them hard in the face!
With just one Lin Beifan, he knocked them down and left them completely defeated!
They lost miserably!
They lost all their face!
It was too tragic!
They were so miserable that they began to question their lives, on the verge of despair!
Listening to the sounds of the song from outside, they found it particularly grating and uncomfortable.
At this moment, the Third Prince of Great Yan stood up and closed the windows, looking at the downcast crowd. He sighed, Speak up, what should we do for the upcoming literary competition?
Everyone looked at each other, no one spoke first.
The two matches today drained their spirit and also shattered their pride.
They felt uncomfortable in their hearts and didnt know how to proceed.
We absolutely cannot lose!
The Third Prince clenched his fists, Its not that we cannot lose, but we cannot lose to Great Wu! Great Yan is thriving while Great Wu is declining. We cannot lose to a weak country!
Furthermore, we have sent out our strongest lineup, with high expectations from the court and the people. We have no reason to lose! If we lose, how can we justify ourselves to the Emperor and the people of Great Yan?
Have you considered your own future?
The expressions of everyone changed slightly because it was really difficult to justify!
Moreover, losing would also affect their future, which they could not accept!
At this moment, the Third Prince spoke with a slightly softer tone, Everyone, I was a bit harsh just now! I have always believed that all of you are talented. The reason we lost today is because we underestimated our opponents, we underestimated Lin Beifan!
But no matter how formidable Lin Beifan is, he is still just one person! He is indeed outstanding in his qin and chess skills, but human talent is limited, time is limited. I refuse to believe that he is equally outstanding in other areas. Besides Lin Beifan, would other people be opponents?
Everyone immediately felt that this made a lot of sense.
No matter how amazing Lin Beifan was, he couldnt be amazing in every aspect!
After all, he was only one person, not a god!
At his age, being able to play the qin and chess to such a mesmerizing level was already incredibly impressive!
He couldnt be equally outstanding in other areas!
So, we have a great chance of winning tomorrows matches! So, everyone, pull yourselves together! The Third Prince shouted, Dont dwell on todays matches, go back and get a good nights sleep, gather your strength, and fight again tomorrow! I believe that tomorrow we will definitely win! We will definitely prevail!
Everyone finally regained their spirits.
Your Highness, rest assured, tomorrow I will give it my all!
Your Highness, rest assured, we will definitely win!
Nothing can defeat us, Great Yan!
The Third Prince nodded in satisfaction, Very good! These are the talents of Great Yan! Everyone, go back and rest well, and fight again tomorrow!
The talents bid farewell to the prince and went back to rest.
In the room, only the Third Prince and an old minister remained.
The Third Prince still watched the talents leave without turning back, and asked, Sir Wang, do you think we will win tomorrow?
To be honest, Your Highness, the situation is not optimistic! the old minister sighed.
Why do you say that? the Third Prince turned around and questioned, We have four top-ranked scholars, plus myself, making it five. Our strength is so powerful! Although we didnt perform well today, its just a temporary setback. We will surely turn the tide tomorrow!
I used to think the same way, but now I dont have that confidence anymore!
Is it because of Lin Beifan?
Yes, its him! The old minister said solemnly, In todays battle, Lin Beifan defeated our talented scholars, boosting the morale of Great Wu and causing our morale to plummet! Therefore, in tomorrows competition, Great Wus performance will inevitably be stronger by three points, while our side will be weaker by three points. The gap has narrowed, and it wont be easy for us to win! The most terrifying thing is Lin Beifan, his talent is extraordinary, comparable to the stars in the sky! To defeat Great Wu, Lin Beifan is a mountain that must be surpassed!
He may be strong, but hes still just one person! the Third Prince said.
He is indeed just one person, but who knows what else he is capable of? The old minister sighed, We have never seen him play the qin, nor do we know that he can play the qin, but he played A Laugh at the Sea! We have never seen him play chess, nor do we know that he can play chess, but he single-handedly defeated the young talents of Great Yan!
The Third Prince fell silent, his heart heavy with worry.
The old minister sighed again, The upcoming literary competition includes calligraphy, painting, and poetry! The poetry has already become a classic and is popular in many countries!
The opponents talent is absolutely top-notch, and it wont be easy for us to win! Poetry is a major part of the literary competition, and if we lose in this aspect, then we are truly defeated!
In that case, how do we explain to the Emperor and the people? The Third Prince clenched his fists, gritting his teeth.
This was his first task on the outside world!
If he failed in something that was supposed to be a certain victory, the Emperor and the court officials would be greatly disappointed in him!
Sir Wang, in your opinion, what should we do? The Third Prince humbly asked for advice.
Its not too late to make up for the lost sheep! The old minister whispered, Your Highness, have you forgotten? Lin Beifan is one of us, Great Yan! As long as we bribe him and make him go easy, we have a chance to win!
What? You want me to bribe him? Absolutely not! I will never agree to that! The Third Prince was shocked.
He used to look down on Lin Beifan, thinking that with his own talent and the luxurious team he brought from Great Yan, he would definitely be able to defeat Great Wu. But reality slapped him hard in the face, and he suffered a miserable loss!
And now, he was being asked to go to Lin Beifan and ask him to throw the match!
He was a prince, a dignified one!
Moreover, he was a scholar with top-ranked talent, how could he do such a thing?
It was so embarrassing to even say it!
Your Highness, think twice. We cannot afford to lose! The old minister said with seriousness, This is not just a battle for honor, but also a battle for your throne! If we fail in this matter, it will undoubtedly disappoint the Emperor and the people, and the throne will be far away! Do you only want to be an idle prince? Even if you are willing, your brothers may not be!
The Third Princes heart trembled, struggling with his expression.
The reason why he worked so hard in his studies and tried so hard to perform well was to ascend the throne of power!
If something as simple as this were to fail, the Emperor would surely be greatly disappointed in him!
His brothers would definitely take advantage of the situation and betray him!
Compared to the throne, what did a little bit of face matter?
The Third Prince gritted his teeth, Sir Wang, youre right. I will follow your advice!
