Chapter 77 Fan Xian is defeated by Lin Wan'er! The talented Guo Baokun is envied by the gods!
Hearing Lin Wan'er's words, Ye Ling'er was so scared that her tears retreated.

Ever since Lin Wan'er recovered from her illness, Ye Ling'er always felt that Lin Wan'er had a strange madness.

Just like she said just now, she wanted to help Ye Ling'er vent her anger, but does Lin Wan'er have the ability to do so?
Lin Wan'er smiled confidently, then turned around and took out a piece of clothing from the closet.

She changed into the all-black dress, and then took out a black hat. The black gauze around the hat was enough to cover her face completely.

When Lin Wan'er put on this outfit, she looked like a female knight in the martial arts world, and with her beautiful face, she looked very cool.

This dress was custom-made for her by Lin Gong to satisfy Lin Wan'er's occasional fantasy of being a female knight.

Lin Wan'er took the confused Ye Ling'er down the attic and found Lin Gong, "Second brother, I'll lend you two female guards."

Lin Gong was equally confused, "Wan'er, do you want to play assassination during the day too?"

Lin Wan'er answered seriously, "I'm going to vent my anger on Ling'er. Don't ask any more questions, just send the person to me!"

Lin Gong has always doted on his sister, so of course he wouldn't refuse.

"Girl, I just hired two female guards for you recently, come and take them."

"Female guards are hard to find, and the salary is high, so it's not easy to find them."

Afterwards, Lin Gong assigned these two seventh-rank female guards to Lin Wan'er.

"From today on, you two will stay by the princess' side, never leaving her side!"

After Lin Wan'er left, he asked an expert to follow her from a distance to prevent any accidents.

After getting on the carriage, Lin Wan'er told the coachman, "Go to the Fan Mansion!"

Ye Ling'er's arms were still stretched, and she was even more anxious.

"Wan'er, you can't beat him. Although you brought guards, there are also many experts in the Fan Mansion."

"I'm not angry anymore. I believe you won't marry Fan Xian. Let's go back!"

Lin Wan'er smiled brightly, "Ling'er, I really didn't lie to you. I will definitely let you vent your anger this time."

"To let you vent your anger, you don't have to beat Fan Xian up. You can defeat him in the areas he's good at."

Ye Ling'er suddenly realized, "Wan'er, are you going to pick the sign of the Daqing Chess Master?"

"But, can you play chess?"

Lin Wan'er said, "Pai Gow, Mahjong, Majiang, Go, etc., is there anything I don't know?"

"As far as winning and losing is concerned, I have never met an opponent."

"I would also like to become famous, but I just can't stand Fan Xian's arrogance."

"What's more, he actually broke your hand to get back at you. I must avenge you."

Ye Ling'er asked curiously, "Let's play chess, why are you dressed like this?"

Lin Wan'er said firmly, "I have an engagement with him, I will go to him directly, for fear that he will have other ideas."

Ye Linger frowned and said, "Last time at the poetry gathering, he looked at you in a frivolous way, and I didn't like it."

Lin Wan'er said, "Yes, so I don't want him to see my face."

When the carriage arrived at the gate of Fan's house, Lin Wan'er said to Ye Ling'er, "Don't go in. Wait for me in the carriage."

After saying this, Lin Wan'er dressed neatly and got off the carriage with the help of two female guards.

The hat blocked my vision, and I could only see a piece of land in front of my eyes. If I didn't have someone to support me, I couldn't even walk.

Lin Wan'er had just gotten off the carriage when she heard Guo Baokun's voice.

"Everyone, look at this sign, Daqing Chess Master!"

"I'm talking about Master Fan Xian from the Fan Mansion. He has defeated more than ten masters of hand-talking in a row!"

At the entrance of the Fan Mansion, there is an exaggerated signboard with the words "Daqing Chess Master" written on it!

There were also a dozen red slips of paper hanging next to it, with the names of the victorious masters and the number of points they won written on them.

As soon as Lin Wan'er arrived at the door, she heard exaggerated shouting in the yard.

"Master Fan beat Zhang Hanlin by three and a half points!"

"The Daqing chess master has won again. Even the undefeated Zhang Hanlin is no match for him!"

"Master Fan is a master of chess, and he deserves the title of Daqing Chess Saint!"

"Young Master Fan, your skills are amazing!"

"Daqing chess master, invincible!"

The two people in the yard had just finished playing chess, and the area was surrounded by many idlers.

Many of these people were hired by Guo Baokun, and every time there was a victory, there would be people hyping up and exclaiming.

Fan Xian's chess skills were already very good, and with Guo Baokun's promotion, the reputation of the Daqing chess master has become more and more famous.

After Zhang Hanlin left, no one else challenged him. After all, everyone had already challenged him.

Two female guards helped Lin Wan'er sit next to the chessboard, so that she could see the entire chessboard.

Fan Xian couldn't see Lin Wan'er's face, but he could see her graceful and slender figure.

"How do you address this lady? I can't win against an unknown person."

Lin Wan'er ignored him and took the black piece first, placing a move.

A female guard scolded, "Just answer your question, don't be so slick!"

Fan Xian was bored and had no choice but to start playing chess. At this moment, he was still full of confidence.

In his time, research on Go was much more in-depth than it is today, and there were more game records.

With the tactics from these chess records, Fan Xian has defeated more than a dozen famous chess masters.

Seeing someone challenging him, Guo Baokun ran over excitedly, "Another person is here to challenge me!"

"Brother Fan has been killing everyone in the Kyoto chess world lately. No one dares to come!"

"I wonder which master this young lady is a disciple of. Your master must also be a famous master in Kyoto!"

"You better be careful, Brother Fan's chess skills are so amazing that they shock the world..."

Guo Baokun was talking a lot when suddenly a female guard slapped Guo Shao out of the gate of Fan Mansion!

"Shut up, get out!"

The idlers around Guo Shao who were responsible for building momentum and shouting, no longer dared to speak.

Fan Xian hurriedly shouted, "Help Master Guo in quickly, before he gets hurt!"

Guo Baokun played a vital role in Fan Xian's reputation as a chess master. Although he was acting on the orders of the crown prince, Fan Xian still remembered Guo Baokun's kindness.

Moreover, Guo Baokun and He Zongwei were the first people of the same age that Fan Xian met after arriving in Beijing.

Without Guo Shao's calls, Fan Xian became increasingly passive on the chessboard.

He always felt that he was restricted in every way, and the female chess player on the opposite side seemed to be able to anticipate the enemy's moves frequently.

Soon, Fan Xian became a little nervous as he killed several dragons in a row.

Guo Baokun, who was slapped, saw Fan Xian's expression and had no intention of arguing with Lin Wan'er's guards.

He earned the reputation of being the chess master of Daqing!
Since ancient times, there has been no first in literature, and it is difficult to rank first in projects in the literary and artistic circles.

But once you become number one, you will definitely become famous!
Just like Li Changan is known as the Saint of Poetry, Calligraphy and Painting, that means no one in Nanqing can compare to him in these three aspects!
The Second Prince helped Fan Xian win the title of Young Martial Artist, and the Crown Prince must also reach the same level.

He must be first, second place is not acceptable, so Fan Xian cannot lose! But Guo Baokun watched the chessboard being filled up, and Fan Xian's face was covered with sweat, the game was over!
"The girl is smart, Fan lost."

Fan Xian had no choice but to admit defeat. Guo Baokun became anxious, "Brother Fan, it's normal to lose a game occasionally when facing a new opponent."

"I wonder if this girl dares to play another round."

Lin Wan'er's female guard said sternly, "If you lose, you lose. Hurry and take down the sign of Nanqing Chess Saint!"

"Fan Xian and the other chess players all played one game at a time, why should our girl have to play an extra game?"

"Our girl has won today, take down the sign quickly, or we will help you do it!"

At this time, Fan Xian said, "Miss, can we play another game of chess?"

Lin Wan'er nodded nonchalantly, and Guo Baokun was overjoyed!

Winning two out of three games is also a win. If you are unfamiliar with the opponent's chess style, losing the first game is not a big deal.

But as the second game progressed, Fan Xian was stretched to the limit just in the middle of the game.

Guo Baokun also stared with eyes wide open. What happened today? Fan Xian’s chess skills suddenly stopped working!

The group of guests behind were all holding their breath, no longer as arrogant as when they first entered.

In the Fan Mansion, Fan Sizhe came to find Fan Ruoruo excitedly.

"Sister! Sister! Sister!"

"Fan Xian is going to be defeated. A female knight just came and killed him!"

Fan Ruoruo was a little surprised. She knew that Fan Xian's chess style was indeed very strange and hard to guard against.

As the game progressed, more and more people nearby heard the noise and came to watch.

However, not long into the middle of the game, Fan Xian simply threw in the towel and admitted defeat.

"The girl's tactics were very clever. She blocked all the escape routes. Fan admitted defeat."

Seeing Fan Xian admit defeat, Guo Baokun was even more anxious than he was, "Brother Fan, don't worry, maybe there will be another chance later!"

Fan Xian just shook his head. If he continued like this, everyone would be killed to pieces, which would be really ugly.

Lin Wan'er didn't say anything. She slowly stood up and walked out with two female guards.

"dismantle!"

Hearing Lin Wan'er's order, the two female guards drew their swords and dismantled all the fancy signs at the entrance of Fan's house.

After losing two games in a row, Guo Baokun was in great pain and could only watch the Daqing chess master's business fall apart.

At this time, Lin Wan'er said to Fan Xian, "Master Fan's chess style is peculiar, but it is too mechanical."

"I don't know who your master is, but he actually taught you a lot of chess manuals before you became a master of chess."

"So when you play chess, you always have a preconceived idea and consciously or unconsciously lean towards a fixed path."

"But there are always limited ways to play chess. The opponent you just met has never seen your unfamiliar chess moves, so he is naturally not your opponent."

When Fan Xian heard this voice, he was shocked. "Are you...Princess Yichen?"

Lin Wan'er was right. When Fan Xian looked at these chess records, he didn't think he was very good at chess.

Even now, his chess skills are not top-notch, he just has a lot of chess records in his mind.

Lin Wan'er could not deny it and continued, "You should thank this Young Master Guo. The Record of the Chess Master has helped me a lot."

"You rely entirely on chess records when playing chess, instead of using your own mind. The Records of the Chess Master completely exposes your weaknesses."

"Fan Xian, there are too many chess records in your mind. They are already deeply ingrained. You will never make any progress in this life."

"It would be good for you to take down this sign of the chess master as soon as possible."

Fan Xian couldn't help but smile bitterly. With Lin Wan'er saying this in public, those chess masters who were defeated by him would definitely study his chess strategy.

Once those great men come back to attack, it will be difficult for Fan Xian to remain undefeated.

Princess Yichen, you are here to tear down his stage!
Guo Baokun also looked ashen. He never expected that he would get himself into trouble by publishing "The Chess Master's Record" specially for helping Fan Xian become famous.

At this time, Ye Ling'er jumped off the carriage excitedly.

Looking at the dusty Fan Xian and Guo Baokun, Ye Ling'er affectionately took Lin Wan'er's arm and said, "Thank you, Wan'er!"

Lin Wan'er first defeated Fan Xian, and then pointed out Fan Xian's weaknesses in chess in public, which completely destroyed the foundation of the so-called chess master.

This is much more satisfying than beating Fan Xian up!
The people watching also knew that the woman who broke the myth of the chess master was actually Princess Yichen!
Lin Wan'er said to Ye Ling'er, "Are you happy now? Don't worry, I will never marry Fan Xian."

The words were spoken neither lightly nor harshly, but Ye Ling'er was smiling happily, and the two of them returned to the carriage hand in hand.

Fan Xian seemed to have lost his soul. He heard the words just now clearly. It was obvious that Lin Wan'er said it deliberately for him to hear.

It was obvious that Lin Wan'er came here on purpose to sabotage him today, just to embarrass him and destroy his reputation as a chess master.

Fan Xian felt sad when he thought of seeing Lin Wan'er's grace and appearance reciting poems at the poetry meeting.

From looking at the portrait to meeting her in person, Fan Xian was truly attracted to Lin Wan'er.

Fan Xian didn't understand why this happened. Was it just because he hurt Ye Ling'er?

Or maybe it was the well-educated and well-mannered Lin Wan'er who was disgusted by Fan Xian's previous reputation for being dissolute and licentious.

Thinking of this, Fan Xian suddenly cheered up again!
If it's because of reputation, then he still has a chance!
He was framed, and the truth will be revealed one day.

What's more, Emperor Qing is very determined to grant the marriage to the two, so he must still have a chance!

At this moment, Guo Baokun looked at the mess in front of him with a look of grief.

It's over, it's over!

Lin Wan'er's disturbance completely ruined his reputation as a chess master, and he messed up his job as the prince again!

"Oh my God! You are so talented!"

"I planned twice to help Brother Fan become famous, but both times failed at the last moment!"

"God, you just don't want to see me succeed!"

Guo Baokun was heartbroken, but Ye Ling'er was smiling happily. She wished she could kiss Lin Wan'er a few times.

"Wan'er, I didn't expect that you had already planned to deal with Fan Xian!"

"I wronged you today. It's my fault!"

Lin Wan'er said, "I just don't like Guo Baokun and Fan Xian's arrogance. There are always people better than you, and it's not that easy to be called a saint!"

"Uncle Yong has only been called the Three Saints of Poetry, Calligraphy and Painting in recent years. That is the result of his fame and strength accumulated over more than ten years."

"Fan Xian has only been in Kyoto for a short time, but he dares to call himself the chess master. He is really willing to do anything to become famous."

"I have had a far superior memory for chess and cards since I was a child. After reading The Record of the Chess Master several times, I know Fan Xian's weaknesses."

"The more famous Fan Xian is, the less resistance there will be to his marriage. I really don't want to marry Fan Xian, so I came here to destroy his reputation as a chess master."

Ye Linger said with a smile, "Now I completely believe that you will not marry that bastard Fan Xian!"

More than an hour after Lin Wan'er left, the depressed Fan Xian received a visit from Li Hongcheng.

The prince’s plan to become famous as a chess master had just failed when the second prince’s men arrived.

Li Hongcheng naturally heard that Fan Xian had suffered a setback, but he did not mention this disappointing thing.

He came to find Fan Xian because the Second Prince wanted to invite Fan Xian to dinner.
