The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 801

Chapter 801: 373 Koi Jiaojiao (Second Update)_2

The crowd cast sympathetic glances at Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao herself was unaware, for the chess game left on the ground by the old beggar had caught her attention. This chess game was different from the ones she had previously solved, peculiar in a particular way, though she couldn’t quite pinpoint what was odd about it.

Her mind began to calculate the movements of each chess piece.

Clang!

A copper plate was tossed into the broken bowl in front of her.

Gu Jiao didn’t look up and continued to play chess.

Clang!

Another passerby threw a copper plate into the bowl.

Gu Jiao still didn’t look up, focusing intently on solving the game.

She finally realized what was strange about this chess game—it was filled with a formidable killing intent.

How much resentment must the creator of this chess game have harbored? Although the game of chess inherently involves the mutual slaughter of pieces, such a level of brutality was rare.

Gu Jiao was so absorbed in the chess game that she didn’t notice the numerous copper plates piling up in her bowl.

If the old beggar knew that he hadn’t managed to collect more than a few copper plates after a whole day, whereas Gu Jiao had garnered a full bowl without doing anything, he would probably cough up blood.

"Young Master, look!"

From the second floor of a tea house diagonally behind Gu Jiao, a grey-clothed guard opened the window, leaned halfway out, and pointed at Gu Jiao in front of him, saying.

The man also poked half of his body out, followed the direction of the grey-clothed guard’s finger, and clapped his folding fan, saying, "What’s so fascinating about a little beggar?"

The grey-clothed guard hurriedly said, "No, Young Master, it’s her!"

The man asked, "Which ’her’?"

The grey-clothed guard anxiously said, "The little girl who was with that little monk!"

The man’s hand playing with the folding fan paused: "The one who blasted you with the Black Fire Bead?"

"Yes, Young Master, it’s her!" The grey-clothed guard scratched his head, "Strange, how could she have come out to beg?"

The man’s lips curled with profound meaning: "Let’s go and have a look."

The grey-clothed guard closed the window and followed the man.

"What are you coming for?" the man asked in annoyance.

The grey-clothed guard said, "Didn’t Young Master say we’re going to have a look?"

The man snorted coldly, "I said I’m having a look, not you. Wasn’t the last exposure enough for you?"

The grey-clothed guard pouted, somewhat reluctantly staying in the private room.

The man, dressed in a moon-white robe and wearing a dark blue gauze coat, with a jade belt around his waist, was indeed handsome and noble without equal.

Having said that, Gu Jiao ignored him and continued pondering over the chess game. _{freewebnσvel.cøm}
