Chapter 224 (1/2)



224 The stupid Lin ‘an is also useful (2)

Xu Qi ‘an couldn’t help but look at old Zhang in a different light. Old Zhang was a cunning old fox in the political world. Those who worked for Wei Yuan all had Dirty Hearts.

Yang Yingying stood up, reached into her clothes, took out half a jade pendant, and presented it to him with both hands. “This was what Lord Zhou gave to this commoner that night.”

Everyone’s eyes were focused on the jade pendant.

It was a semi-circular jade pendant, which was a clear green color. It should have been a round Jade, but it had been cut in half by a sharp weapon.

Jiang Luzhong took the jade pendant and handed it to provincial governor Zhang. The latter held it with his fingertips and caressed it, remaining silent.

“This looks like a token?” Jiang Luzhong said in a low voice. After he finished speaking, he looked at Xu Qi ‘an for his opinion.

Governor Zhang also looked over.

‘What are you looking at me for? I’m an investigator, but I’m not a fortune-teller …’ The two of you didn’t even try to hide the fact that you’re using me as a tool … let’s go to Yunzhou first, ” Xu Qi ‘an muttered. what’s the point of guessing blindly? ”

As Governor Zhang kept the jade pendant, he instructed the soldiers, “”Let’s continue to the clouds Plains.”

They dug a pit to bury the bodies and brought the surviving travelers and goods together. The team continued on their journey and set off for Yunzhou along the official road.

….

The sun was high up in the sky and it was warm. On this rare morning, huaiqing had finished practicing his swordsmanship. He was about to call the palace maids to prepare hot water when he turned his head and saw two Palace maids sitting in the pavilion playing chess.

Huaiqing frowned. It wasn’t that he was unhappy with the palace maids playing chess, but that they didn’t understand chess at all.

She didn’t make a sound and walked into the pavilion in silence, watching two Palace maids play chess.

The delicate and pretty little palace maids were completely immersed in the chess game and did not notice their master’s approach.

They played chess without any rules, didn’t know how to lay out the layout, didn’t know how to fight for an advantageous position, and their moves were so fast that they didn’t seem to need to think.

Huaiqing’s brows furrowed deeper and deeper. This kind of child’s play was extremely uncomfortable for a national level expert like her. But after a moment, she understood.

This game of chess was very simple. It was to see who could line up the five stones first. It didn’t matter if it was vertical, horizontal, or diagonal. Whoever lined up the five stones first would be the winner.

“What is this game?”

The two Palace maids trembled in fear and stood up in a hurry. They replied in a soft voice, “”It’s Gomoku.”

Gomoku? What was this thing?

The well-read Huai Qing was stunned.

The Other Palace maid explained,”it was spread from Princess Lin an’s side, now it has already spread in the palace, everyone is playing.””What is it?”

By “everyone,” she was referring to the eunuchs and maids in the palace.

“I heard that even imperial consort Chen said it was interesting.” Another Palace maid said.

Lin ‘an? She was just a stupid girl … “I’m going to take a bath, so tell the cook not to prepare lunch,” huaiqing nodded.

Emperor yuanjing was going to hold a family banquet this morning, and the princes and princesses had to have their meals at the Palace of Heavenly Purity.

After the bath, Princess huaiqing left the court and headed for the Palace of Heavenly Purity.

She met her brothers and sisters in the luxurious elegant Hall. In places without her, Lin ‘an, which liked to wear red dresses and gorgeous jewelry, was the center of the conversation.

Today was a little different. The Royal brothers and sisters merely nodded at huaiqing in greeting and continued their previous topic.

“Lin ‘an created a new style. The rules of Gomoku are easy to understand and it is more interesting to play. Even my Palace’s officers could easily play it and play it with great interest.”

“Our Princess of Lin an’s name will be widely spread.”
