Chapter 153 The complete jade returns to Zhao

Chapter 153 The complete jade returns to Zhao

"Wait, Xuan."

Li Xuan was about to go to Qingshu Palace to quickly complete the transfer, but Princess Ankang stopped him.

Li Xuan was so anxious that he was running around in circles, but his eyes were fixed on Princess Ankang, wondering what she was asking him to do.

"Axuan, let me remind you, the chess jar you are carrying is only half filled with chess pieces."

"???"

Li Xuan was confused.

"How come there are only half the pieces?"

Seeing her cat's confused look, Princess Ankang took off a chess jar from Li Xuan's back and poured out the chess pieces inside.

There were not many chess pieces poured out, it was really just as Princess Ankang said, only half.

"Axuan, have you forgotten?"

"When I made those copybooks earlier, I glued all the chess pieces with words on them."

After saying that, Princess Ankang found the copybooks they had compiled before and showed them to Li Xuan.

Each copybook has a large character on it and a smaller serial number below it.

And in the corner of each copybook, there is actually a chess piece stuck to it.

Li Xuan couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the chess pieces stuck on the copybook.

"How come I didn't know when it became sticky?"

At this time, Princess Ankang explained in a timely manner: "Axuan, I saw that you had a hard time separating these chess pieces with words, but then I was reluctant to mix them together."

"Otherwise, if I look for it one day, wouldn't I have to trouble you to eat it again?"

Princess Ankang flashed her beautiful big eyes and said innocently.

"I believe you ghost!"

Although Princess Ankang is a kind-hearted, sensible, cute and loving child.

But at the same time, he is also smart and quirky.

Li Xuan felt that Princess Ankang must have other purposes for doing this.

Seeing her cat looking at her with disbelief, Princess Ankang smiled without shame, and then whispered in his ear:

"Axuan, don't make any exchanges yet, just bring the emperor's chess pieces."

"Then we picked out the dirty chess pieces, leaving only the clean ones for the emperor."

"In this way, we leave a pair of dirty chess pieces and leave a pair of clean chess pieces for the emperor."

Li Xuan couldn't help laughing after hearing this ghost idea.

"This girl had this plan from the beginning."

Looking at the chess pieces that were firmly glued on the copybook, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

"When the child is older, he is a thief than me!"

Seeing Li Xuan smile, Princess Ankang quickly explained: "Axuan, please don't misunderstand."

"This is what I, as a sister, should do."

"I'm Ankang, I only feel sorry for my brother—"

After saying that, Princess Ankang couldn't help being amused by herself, covering her mouth and laughing together with Li Xuan.

…

Finally, Li Xuan went into battle lightly and unloaded the two original chess jars.

After all, Princess Ankang's proposal sounds more tempting.

In this way, the possibility of Qingshu Palace discovering the mystery of the chess pieces can also be eliminated, which can be said to be settled once and for all.

Otherwise, if Concubine Zhang knew the secret on the chess pieces, she would definitely have to torment Jingyang Palace again to get the other half of the chess pieces.

Li Xuan galloped again and quickly rushed back to Qingshu Hall and found the room where the Go chess was stored.

He furtively touched a window, intending to perform his famous stunt again.

As a result, just as I was about to climb over the window, there was a loud bang and my head hit the window.

Fortunately, Li Xuan was now very skilled and he immediately made adjustments in mid-air.

Otherwise, when he could only fly bricks in the past, he would have thrust his head through the window and got stuck in it.

"Hey, even the windows are locked!"

Such windows are equipped with a window bolt that can be locked from the inside.

Generally, the window bolts are not locked except on windy and rainy days because of the trouble.

This is also the reason why Li Xuan's magical skill of "breaking in through the window" has been tried and tested repeatedly.

But Qingshu Palace was lucky. The weather was so good today, so the windows were locked.

He remembered how relaxed he was when he opened the big prince's window yesterday.

During the day, he also saw that the window of this room was open.

It seems that because the chessboard is stored here, it is so cautious.

"This Concubine Zhang is not useless."

Li Xuan walked around the room and found that not a single window was open.

With his current strength, a window cannot stop him.

But if you want to be invisible, you can't leave any traces.

Breaking into a room has always been the easiest step.

Unexpectedly, I stumbled for the first time in this small Qingshu Palace.

Of course, such a small difficulty cannot stop Li Xuan's determination to borrow things.

There are still children at home waiting to be fed, how could he give up so easily!

Li Xuan took advantage of the crooked-neck tree during the day and went all the way to the roof. He walked around the eaves, looking for the weakest point.

The roof in the palace is not like those in costume dramas. You can see what's going on inside by lifting a tile.

Li Xuan often walks under the roof, so he knows a lot about this aspect.

The roofs in the palace are usually covered with several layers of tiles, and each tile is very heavy.

Underneath the tiles are the rafters that rest on the beams, with narrow gaps in them.

The tiles are placed on the rafters.

The tiles are also divided into bottom tiles and top tiles.

The bottom tile is relatively flat and covers the rafters, acting as the base for the entire tile section.

On top of the bottom tiles are the covering tiles. After the covering tiles are put on, the roof is completed.

As the saying goes, if you don't fight for three days, you can go up to the house and uncover the tiles.

Li Xuan is now planning to break through from Jiewa to the inside.

But where to start uncovering is also important.

The roof tiles are built one after another, so you must find a good place to start.

Otherwise, it will not only be time-consuming and labor-intensive, but one bad move may cause quite a stir.

But when Li Xuan used to walk on the catwalk, he often saw some cats stepping on the tiles without paying attention, causing the tiles to dislocate.

This kind of place is the breakthrough point Li Xuan is looking for.

He searched around on the roof for a while and finally found a relatively loose place.

He then dug twice with his claws, and sure enough, the tiles began to dislodge.

Li Xuan quickly took the tile aside with his mouth. After repeating this several times, a hole appeared on the roof for him to drill into.

As we all know, cats are liquid.

Therefore, as long as Li Xuan's head can pass, his body can follow.

But just in case, he widened the hole in the roof.

After all, he had to carry two chess jars when he came out.

Make the hole bigger now to save yourself trouble when you come out later.

Li Xuan got in through the hole in the roof, stepped on the rafters and beams, and landed easily.

Being a cat still has its advantages.

Not only can he get into tight places, but he is also very agile and moves silently. He is naturally good at holding things.

As soon as Li Xuan came in, he saw the chess board on the table. He couldn't wait to rush up and hugged the two chess jars.

"Baby, you've been waiting for so long!"

He then picked up the two chess jars and put them on the knots on his body, then fixed the chess jars.

Li Xuan came down and tried it, and found that it was very strong.

Then he found the highest shelf in the room and climbed up.

Along the way, Li Xuan really encountered a lot of temptations.

He also understood why this room was locked so tightly.

The room is filled with all kinds of rare treasures, some of which still glow with a faint fluorescent light at night. At first glance, they are not ordinary objects.

And this kind of thing is everywhere in this room.

"Is this Zhang Guifei's treasure house?"

"This is too rich!"

Li Xuan couldn't help but look around, and reluctantly climbed onto the shelf full of treasures.

"Sooner or later, they will be emptied for you!"

Li Xuan secretly made up his mind, and finally jumped resolutely, stepped on the pillar to use his strength, his whole body flew up with a whooshing sound, and landed directly on the beam.

"It's still very relaxing."

He looked at the height below his feet and couldn't help but smile proudly.

Then without further delay, he climbed out through the hole in the roof and rushed towards Jingyang Palace.

Carrying two chess jars did affect Li Xuan's speed, but even so, he rushed back in a short time.

Returning to Princess Ankang's room, Li Xuan found that there was another person in the room.

Before the two people in the room saw him, he meowed first.

"Meow? (Yu'er?)"

That's right, the extra person is the sleepy Yu'er.

She held her chin up and sat next to Princess Ankang, nodding her head like a chicken pecking at rice, and dozing off.

Hearing Li Xuan's voice, Princess Ankang quickly lit the candle, and then touched Yu'er beside her.

"Sister Yu'er, Ah Xuan is back."

"Um, um, what's wrong?"

Yu'er was dazed and wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth, unable to cheer up.

Li Xuan jumped directly onto the table, and Princess Ankang couldn't wait to take out the two chess jars he brought.

After she opened it and confirmed that it was correct, she couldn't help showing a big smile.

"Hehe, Ah Xuan is so awesome!"

Princess Ankang gave Li Xuan a big hug and rubbed her red cheek.

"Okay, we still have work to do, let's put the celebration aside."

Princess Ankang immediately recovered from Li Xuan's beauty and firmly stopped the urge to continue petting the cat.

"Axuan, you separate the chess pieces. Sister Yu'er and I will help you deal with the separated chess pieces."

Li Xuan nodded and saw Princess Ankang opening one of the chess jars, biting it down without ceremony, holding seven or eight chess pieces in her mouth.

He quickly passed it through with his tongue and quickly spit out the chess pieces with words to Princess Ankang and the chess pieces without words to Yu'er.

Both of them had already prepared rags. After wiping the chess pieces clean, they arranged them separately.

Li Xuan licked the chess pieces until his tongue was dry. He drank water again before he could persist.

Licking more than three hundred chess pieces at one time is simply not something a cat would do.

Fortunately, they didn't make any mistakes while they were busy. After sorting, they picked out exactly 180 chess pieces with words on them.

Adding up to what they found from Princess Ankang's Go set, there were exactly three hundred and sixty-one pieces.

Princess Ankang counted the number of black and white pieces uneasily, and found that when added to the number of chess pieces with words found before, the number of black and white pieces also exactly corresponded.

There are one hundred and eighty white stones and one hundred and eighty one black stones.

At this time, the three little ones all breathed a sigh of relief.

On Yu'er's side, she organized all the wordless chess pieces and placed them in the chess jar brought by Li Xuan.

They can just be put together to form a complete black and white piece.

"Axuan, please return the chess jar."

"This matter is more important."

At this time, after being busy for a while, Yu'er cheered up and asked: "Your Highness, shall we sort out the words on the chess pieces now?"

"I'll go get a basin of water."

With that said, Yu'er was about to go out to fetch water, but was stopped by Princess Ankang.

"Sister Yu'er, don't worry about the writing. You can do it tomorrow."

"It's too dark at night and it looks inconvenient."

"Besides, we keep the lights on late at night, which always attracts attention."

Princess Ankang said so.

Li Xuan couldn't help but nodded secretly after hearing this.

"The little girl is very thoughtful."

Then, Li Xuan carried two jars of wordless chess pieces on his back and returned to Qingshu Hall to return the things.

His saliva has been wiped clean by Yu'er, so there should be no flaws.

Li Xuan put the tiles on the roof back into place and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

I ran back and forth several times that night, and finally it was over.

"In this way, we should be able to get away with it."

It would be better for Concubine Zhang to never know the words on the chess pieces.
