The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 802

Chapter 802: 373 Koi Jiaojiao (Second Update)_3

But no one knew that Old Master Meng actually had another chess game—the Life-Death Six Matches!

These were the truly unsolvable forbidden games.

The reason they were forbidden was that the Life-Death Six Matches were filled with a murderous aura so intense that often the players would go mad before the puzzles were solved.

He had the fortune to witness the first of the Life-Death Six Matches, and before it drove him to madness, he chose to give up. Years later, to his surprise, he had the opportunity to see it again.

How come this girl is perfectly fine?

Looking at her, she seems very relaxed. Was she not affected by the murderous aura of the game?

"You," the man shifted his gaze from the chess game.

Gu Jiao pointed to the broken bowl in front of her.

The man was momentarily stunned but seemed to understand, and took out two gold ingots from his bosom and placed them in the bowl.

Now that she was properly acknowledged, Gu Jiao spoke up, "Is there something you need?"

Truly, money has the power to grind a ghost, and silver can make people talk.

The man silently patted his folding fan and asked, "This game of chess... how do you feel about it?"

"Well, it’s quite interesting," Gu Jiao answered.

Interesting? Just this?

"Don’t you find it very difficult..."

To endure?

"Hmm, it is a bit difficult," Gu Jiao admitted. _{freewebnσvel.cѳm}

The man was confused. I was asking if it’s difficult for you? There was more to my question, don’t you think?

What kind of oddity is this girl to speak so lightly of a chess game imbued with such a heavy murderous aura?

No, he should be curious about where this girl learned her game—not just any game, but the Life-Death Six Matches.

The Life-Death Six Matches were not as widely circulated within the Six Nations as the Great Eight Matches, having been forbidden by the royal family of Yan Country. Ordinary people had never even caught a glimpse of them.

First, it was the Black Fire Bead of Yan Country’s royal family, and now it was Old Master Meng’s Life-Death Six Matches. What exactly is this girl’s relationship with Yan Country?

"Baby girl!"

The old beggar came out of the alley holding silver.

Not wanting to make more contact and risk leaving behind undesired information, the man turned and went back to the Tea House.

The old beggar approached Gu Jiao, crouched down, and pushed a handful of shiny silver in front of her, grinning ear to ear, "Look, baby girl, I won!"

Then he looked down and saw the broken bowl at his feet, which unexpectedly contained two gleaming gold ingots!

Besides the pair of gold ingots, there were also quite a few Copper Plates and pieces of silver.

The old beggar was dumbfounded: "Where, where, where... where did these come from?"

Gu Jiao thought for a moment and said lightly, "Hmm, given by a passerby, I suppose."

The old beggar looked at the bowl full of gold, silver, and Copper Plates, and then at the sparse Silver Ingots in his hand, suddenly feeling that the Silver Ingots were less appealing!

He had worked himself to death playing chess with a bunch of fools, and yet it seemed that the girl had earned more just by squatting here for a while!
