Chapter 219: Chess Game
Under the management of the Zhitonghui, the residents of Lucheng all feel satisfied. They have enough food to eat, work to do, and are not disturbed. They are the happiest.
However, up to now, the leader of the Zhitonghui has not appeared in Lucheng to make any arrangements for them. Many people are worried that their current life is just a dream and cannot help but inquire about it.
Qi Zhaoshu and his friends had some free time and came to Lucheng early. Qi Zhaoshu and Lu Wensheng were able to relax for a rare time and sat in the house chatting, with Liu Jiqian accompanying them.
The Zhitong Society had seized the property of the powerful and wealthy, and now they were extremely wealthy. They kept some items that were valuable for collection but difficult to sell for everyone's entertainment in their spare time.
Qi Zhaoshu went to apply for chess pieces, which were said to be made of a special kind of stone, which was warm to the touch. However, Lu Wensheng didn't know much about Go, so Qi Zhaoshu and Liu Jiqian were the ones playing.
"The residents in the city are very anxious right now, but you are not."
Lu Wensheng never interferes in these matters by relying on his status. He believes that professional matters should be done by professionals. He knows that no matter how much he knows, it is just talk. He can make suggestions, but he will be laughed at if he interferes.
Usually he just helped them with some clerical work or supplemented their ideological framework, but even without going to the city, he had heard something about the resettlement of Lucheng. It was obvious that Qi Zhaoshu's remarks had made the residents of Lucheng uncomfortable.
However, Lu Wensheng felt a little emotional and relieved when he saw the other party's calmness - when you haven't seen someone for three days, you should look at him with new eyes.
He knew that it was difficult to trap a swan and that the dark hands of the minions in the capital could not stop him.
His aspirations are lofty; he wishes to soar above the nine heavens and overlook the vastness of heaven and earth. He flaps his wings with the help of the wind, breaks through the clouds and mist, and is unafraid of the obstacles of wind and rain. He sings at the top of his voice, whose sound shakes the trees, and is unafraid of the cold of frost and snow.
"After all, what we give directly is not as precious as what they ask for. We just have to wait a little longer."
Now that he is a leader, are you able to tell half the story and be a riddle teller all by yourself? Hearing Qi Zhaoshu's reply, Lu Wensheng paused while drinking tea.
"It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. The food provided here is just a guarantee. The job provided later is the key. Huai Xiu's move is very good, and they took the initiative to ask for it, which is even more unusual."
Lu Wensheng: “???” What kind of job was being offered? What kind of riddle were they playing? Was there something he couldn’t know?
The small stove was boiling hot tea, and the candlelight was staining them. Qi Zhaoshu and Liu Jiqian sat opposite each other at the chessboard. Qi Zhaoshu played the black chess piece and Liu Jiqian played the white chess piece. The chess pieces were placed on their fingertips, and the two were facing each other.
At first, the white chess pieces seem to be at a disadvantage, and are only safe in a corner of the chessboard. However, its layout holds a mystery. As the game progresses, the white chess pieces emerge like a surprise force, and the pieces are arranged in an orderly manner, like a nimble white dragon, winding and swimming.
The head of the white dragon rushed towards the heart of the black chess piece swiftly and firmly, just like lightning cutting through the night sky, with unstoppable momentum, directly breaking through the heavy defense lines of the black chess piece and attacking the core area.
The white pieces echoed each other, forming an invisible net, gradually trapping the black pieces in it. As the white pieces pressed forward step by step, the black pieces fell into a desperate situation and could hardly turn the tide.
At this point in the game, all the players are dead.
When Liu Jiqian, the Nascent Soul master, puts his mind to work, his intelligence is naturally incomparable to that of Qi Zhaoshu even if he has three heads and six arms.
Seeing that he lost, Qi Zhaoshu was not surprised, but laughed: "On the chessboard, the white pieces represent all living beings in the world, representing people with the same aspirations; the black pieces represent all kinds of stubborn oppressive forces.
White was isolated and weak at first, but he kept a low profile, planned carefully, and attacked decisively. He was able to turn the situation around in the end. This shows that we are also like this. This world will eventually belong to everyone! "
He seemed to really think so, and was even vaguely excited.
"Millions of us will eventually break free from the shackles"
"The world is in turmoil, with storms coming from all directions. You dare to stay safe under the dangerous wall, fighting for the people to survive. You keep writing, using your writing as a sword to break the haze of ignorance; you use your reasoning as a sharp edge to point out the evil deeds of treacherous people.
Every night, accompanied by a solitary lamp, he grinds ink to write poems, all for the common people; every morning dew, he recruits talents and plans strategies, all for the common people. Even if there are thousands of difficulties and dangers ahead, he will not change his original intention; despite all kinds of obstacles on the way, he still sticks to his beliefs.
He traveled around, contacted colleagues, devised strategies, and wanted to save the people from danger. At every gathering, he gave an impassioned speech to inspire everyone. Despite many obstacles, he did not change his mind. Everyone was touched by his sincerity and followed him like clouds, working together to overcome difficulties.
Now, what you have planned is gradually showing results, the people are getting together, and your power is gradually growing. However, you dare not slack off in the slightest, knowing that the road ahead is long and you still need to forge ahead.
One day, the chaos will be settled, the country will be at peace, and the people will be able to live and work in peace. Your names will be praised by the people, and respected by future generations, who will praise you as heroes in troubled times and wise men who save the world.
You share the same ideals, and you are already half a step ahead of the gods."
Participants in such an undertaking are always excited and full of energy. Even Lu Wensheng became excited. He had always been watching Qi Zhaoshu's words and deeds.
He suddenly remembered what "Pang Ling" had said to him at that time - everyone is determined by destiny, and destiny is everyone. If a mayfly tries to shake a tree, the dynasty will fall!
Qi Zhaoshu was one of the helmsmen of this earth-shaking great undertaking. If successful, his achievements would be no different from those of a saint.
After Lu Wensheng finished speaking, he put down his teacup, stood up and bowed. Qi Zhaoshu was so shocked that he didn't even care about the chessboard. He got down from his seat, a little panicked.
"Sir, I have been very kind to you and the Zhitong Society. How could you do this?"
Liu Jiqian understood and chuckled: "Huai Xiu, don't be afraid. I'm not worshipping you." He is the last noble gentleman before the collapse of Dayong.
Qi Zhaoshu is a Yong person, but he will be the terminator of Dayong and the initiator of the next chapter.
Qi Zhaoshu seemed to sense something. He supported Lu Wensheng, tears flashing in his eyes, but his gaze became more determined.
“The achievement of great deeds is built on the corpses of thousands of practitioners. What I have done, the words I have written, will one day be passed down through the ages and forever engraved in history. Even if I die and do not see the coming of age, there will be successors who will carry on my legacy, erect a monument for me, make statements, and pay their respects at my grave, telling me that peace has come.”
He wrote tirelessly in the midst of chaos and war, and he made loyal contributions in times of crisis. He often stood tall and raised his arms, calling for justice and attracting his peers to gather. Although he had experienced hardships, he remained elegant and refined; despite repeated setbacks, he still held on to the light of his faith. He raised food and grass to ensure the safety of the army and civilians, and he comforted the orphans and widows and warmed people's hearts.
Turn the tide when you are at the end of your rope and hold on to hope in the midst of storms and storms.
Finally, God rewards hard work, the chaos is gradually settled, the country is initially stabilized, his name is passed down through the ages, and his virtue benefits future generations.
(On the chessboard, the white pieces represent all living beings in the world, representing people with the same aspirations; the black pieces represent all kinds of stubborn oppressive forces. The white pieces were isolated and weak at the beginning, but they kept a low profile, took every step carefully, and attacked decisively. In the end, they were able to reverse the situation and change the world. This shows that we are also like this. This world will eventually belong to everyone!
The white chess pieces represent all living beings in the world, and they are like-minded. The black chess pieces represent those stubborn oppressive forces. The white chess pieces are weak, but they keep a low profile, take every step carefully, and attack decisively. In the end, they can turn the tide. This shows that we are the same. This world, after all, belongs to everyone! )
(Translation of Lu Wensheng's words:
The world is in chaos, with turmoil everywhere. You dare to stay calm in a dangerous situation and fight for a corner of the country for the people. You keep writing, using articles as a sharp blade to break the haze of ignorance; you use truth as a sharp edge to accuse the evil deeds of treacherous people.
When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, you were accompanied only by the lonely lamp. When you ground ink and wrote articles, you were calling out for the people. When the dew fell in the morning, you recruited talented people and planned strategies for the people. Even if there were thousands of difficulties and obstacles ahead, you did not change your original intention; even if you encountered various obstacles along the way, you still held on to your beliefs.
You traveled everywhere, contacted like-minded people, planned strategies and policies, and wanted to save the people from the dire straits. At every rally, you gave passionate speeches to inspire everyone. Although you encountered many obstacles, you did not change your ambition. Everyone was moved by your sincerity, and the people who followed you were as numerous as clouds. Everyone worked together to face the difficulties.
Now, the things you have planned have gradually achieved results, the hearts of the people have been united, and the power has gradually formed. However, you dare not slack off in the slightest, knowing that the road ahead is still long and you still need to forge ahead.
One day, the chaos will be settled, the country will be stable, and the people will be able to live a stable and happy life. Your names will be praised by the people and admired by future generations, praising you as heroes in troubled times and wise men who save the world.
You and your Zhitonghui have surpassed God by half.)
