The 18th Turn: The Widow of Water Ghost

  Episode 18: [Water Ghost Widow] (Contract arrived at the starting point company yesterday, just informed in the background, A-sign may be displayed later. Currently collected 257, almost three hundred, thank you everyone for your love!)

  One after another, Li Chengqian held the small hands of Little Zhengtao Li Zhi and pressed them down one by one. Only then did Little Zhengtao dare to pick up the chess pieces himself. The rules of Go are very simple, he understood as soon as he heard them, and became more and more fascinated as he played, gradually becoming inseparable from Little Old Tiger Li Hu!

  Li Chengqian put down Li Zhi and then let Su He push his wheelchair out for a walk.

  Outside, the sun was shining brightly, with a clear blue sky. At the edge of a pool outside the Li Zheng Hall, Li Chengqian stopped Su He and looked at his reflection in the water, where a handsome young man appeared.

  This was Li Chengqian's first time seeing himself clearly in the Tang Dynasty, although there were copper mirrors indoors, they were dim and unclear, Li Chengqian somewhat missed the mirrors of his previous life.

  All in all, I'm quite handsome now, with a slightly long face shape, square and firm, broad forehead, sword-like eyebrows, deep eye sockets below are a pair of wise eyes, under the eagle nose is a mouth with clear lip lines, the whole person looks elegant and refined, with a hint of bookishness, the only shortcoming is that there is no beard on my face, like a little white face!

  Su Hong's stunning face also appeared in the reflection of the water pool, smiling like a flower, with happiness in her eyes!

  "A match made in heaven!" Li Chengqian praised.

  Su He's face turned red, as beautiful as a peach blossom!

  Li Chengqian leaned over and took a sniff!

  "Ah!" Su Hongjiao exclaimed, her face flushed with embarrassment, and she quickly looked around to make sure no one had seen!

  Li Chengqian picked up a stone and threw it into the water, pia, pia, the stone skipped three times on the surface of the water before hitting the stone wall on the other side of the pool, cool!

  Looking at the fish in the pool, Li Chengqian was stunned, "Water... fish... fish! Fish pond!" He slapped his forehead, remembering, "That night I and the damned director drank wine and returned to the village, passing by my own fish pond that I had embezzled, then got drunk and jumped into the 'asshole style', jumping into the pool, only to wake up in the Tang Dynasty, shouting that he was drowned!"

  He opened his mouth wide and his mind became clearer!

  "Why did the fish pond go to the Tang Dynasty? Was it because last year a widow jumped into the fish pond and committed suicide, becoming a water ghost living in the fish pond, and then she made a strange thing?" Li Chengqian's body shook!

  "Father, what's wrong?" Su Hong immediately noticed Li Chengqian's abnormality and asked with concern.

  "No." Li Chengqian didn't want to stay by the pool for long, unsure if that water ghost had followed him!

  Meet a water ghost in a foreign land, die!

  "Let's go back!" He pulled Su Hong back.

  ………

  "Good little brother..."

  Li Chengqian had just returned to the small hall when he heard a faint, sinister laugh from Xiao Laohu. He was very curious about what had happened while he was away and squeezed in for a look. The Go board was filled with two-thirds of the black and white pieces, and Li Zheng's situation was extremely precarious, with two places being particularly dangerous.

  I was just about to let Xiao Laohu win earlier. There were five places where I could have won with just one move, but I gave them up to Li Zhi. He shouldn't lose, right?

  This chessboard is clearly the one I left earlier. The little tiger has already blocked all five dangerous places and now counterattacked Li Zhi!

  It's really unimaginable, is there something wrong with Xiao Zhengtai's IQ?

  "Brother, how can you be so stupid!" Li Chengqian exclaimed in distress, "A good game of chess and you've managed to play it like this!"

  The little tiger lifted her pretty face and said with a proud expression: "Hmph, don't you know who I am? You're no match for me, the princess!"

  "Wow, you've got quite an attitude!"

  Xiao Laohu and Li Chengqian's eyes met, and he immediately felt guilty, lowering his head to look at her chess pieces.

  Li Zhi then lifted his head, his eyes filled with pitifulness and grievance, wanting to say something but not saying it out loud, making Li Chengqian feel uncomfortable in his heart!

  "Be a man! Let me help you!" Li Chengqian patted him on the shoulder. "Put the chess piece here!"

  Li Zhi's eyes lit up and he hastily picked up a white piece, "Clang!" With this one move, the situation on the board was set!

  The little tiger's good-looking eyes were wide with a frantic feeling, she raised her head in annoyance, glared at Li Zhi with a fierce light in her eyes, and scared Li Zhi out of his wits!

  "Zhi Nu is not afraid, with Ge around, see how she dares to be a little tiger?" Li Chengqian laughed and continued to instruct Li Zhi.

  Li Zhi is referring to which fight which!

  "Big brother......" Little Tiger was dissatisfied, "Watching chess without commenting!"

  "The emperor said, 'This is not Go.' Li Zhi said."

  But was glared at by the little tiger and hastily lowered his head.

  The little tiger was not convinced and looked around at the nearby women, begging for help: "Sister, help me!"

  Big sister first expressed her support: "Yeah! Xiaomei, I think we should go for it."

  "Really?"

  "That's right, the stupid slave accidentally created a three-way intersection, but unfortunately, his chess skills are too weak. If he had connected the middle ones, he would have won long ago!" The elder sister analyzed.

  "Ah!" Little Tiger only then realized how dangerous she was and hastily followed Big Sister's instructions, placing a black piece in the middle of the three-pronged road.

  Li Chengqian patted Li Zhi, who was regretful to death, and continued to instruct him, blocking the other way of the little tiger.

  The little women had a big sister's lead, all eager to try, you one word I one mouth, became the think tank of the little tigers!

  At one time, the originally quiet onlookers turned into a boisterous and quarrelsome scene. Even the Crown Princess joined forces with Little Tiger, giving the small women's team a powerful boost. However, Li Chengqian's chess skills were so strong that nothing could stop him, not even the earth. In the end, the small women's team still sighed in admiration as they suffered a crushing defeat.

  "Wow, brother, you're so powerful!" Li Zhi exclaimed happily.

  "Brother, you're bullying me!"

  "Exactly, you should give birth to a son for your sister!"

  A few small women together attacked Li Chengqian, like a flock of sparrows chirping together, making his ears unable to hear.

  "Your chess skills are really bad, you lost and that's it, why can't you admit defeat?" Li Chengqian laughed.

  A princess rushed into Li Chengqian and Li Zhi's position, humming: "Xu Mei, let's not play with them, sister and you play a game of Handan!"

  Soon, the two men were squeezed away by a group of little women. Li Chengqian was very embarrassed, and being watched by his younger brother whom he admired made him even more embarrassed. He shouted to the women's group: "You bunch of hens, I'll invent another game of checkers for us to play ourselves!"

  The women's group was unmoved and split into two factions, tearing each other apart on the Go board!

  "Imperial brother, what is this 'jumping chess'?" Li Zhi asked curiously and expectantly.

  "Checkers... I'll draw it out and you'll know. Li Chengqian found that explaining was troublesome, having the actual object made it easier,"Also, stop calling me Huang Xiong, call me Big Brother!"

  "But..."

  "Don't believe me if I don't call you?"

  "Big brother..."

  Li Chengqian flashed a big white-toothed smile.

  "Big brother." Li Zhi hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Just now, just now the scoundrel was too despicable. I obviously won, but the scoundrel wanted me to regret my move, and wouldn't even let me put that piece there again. I...I..."

  It turns out that's what happened, the little tiger actually bullied his younger brother like this. Li Chengqian patted his head and said: "Next time big brother will back you up, she won't dare!"

  Li Chengqian had Little Chen bring another Go board, and then brought over a few sheets of paper. After laying out the paper, he pulled out several pieces of charcoal from his pocket, and the charcoal-written hard-pen calligraphy was also pulled out, which Li Chengqian casually threw away!

  He picked up a piece of paper, folded it vertically, and then folded it again several times. The paper became thick and hard, serving as a ruler. He drew a straight line on the flattened paper, marked two points at both ends of the line with the paper ruler, folded the paper in half to find the midpoint, and then drew another point on the line.

  Then, on another piece of paper, he folded a rectangle twice as long as it was wide. The diagonals of the rectangle were folded in half to create a 60-degree angle. Using this 60-degree angle, the straight line drawn on the original sheet of paper at 180 degrees was divided into three 60-degree angles. A regular hexagon was then drawn using a ruler.

  Then draw a regular triangle outside the regular hexagon, and then draw circles. A checkerboard is quickly completed!

  He lifted his head and saw Xiaozhengtai staring blankly at his hard pen calligraphy. "What are you doing?"

  "Ah? Big brother, these characters are so beautiful!" He saw the charcoal, "Is this written with this charcoal?"

  "Yes, it's the homework assigned by Father Emperor." He put down his calligraphy brush, "Let's play chess. Pay attention, this jump is exactly what we need to do. Jump over like this and occupy all of your opponent's territory, then you win."

  He looked at the women's group with disdain, "This game of checkers is a test of intelligence, more advanced than Go!"

  Li Zhi smiled slyly.

  ………

  Inside the queen's chamber, Princess Wang looked at the queen with a worried face. "Your Majesty, are you just going to watch as the crown prince is deposed? That demon from the Cheng family has been causing quite a commotion these past two days. If the emperor listens to him, the crown prince will be finished! Your brother is on his way back from Luoyang, but distant water can't put out a fire right in front of us. If you don't persuade the emperor soon, it'll be disastrous!"

  The queen lay on the bed, although her face was pale from a long illness, but she gave off an aura of stability. What she wanted to say had already been said, and no matter how urgently Princess Changsun jumped up, the queen only looked at her with a calm gaze, not uttering another word!

  Chang Sun Wang jumped up and down, playing the solo drama, but found it had no effect, so she stopped and said to the Empress with a bitter face: "Empress, little sister, don't say I'm too selfish as a sister-in-law. The Crown Prince and Wei Wang are both your children, choose who will be the Crown Prince, they are all your flesh and blood. But our family is different, your brother has been relying on the Crown Prince for so many years, if the Crown Prince is deposed, what can you do with your brother?"

  She played the emotional card, and Queen Long let out a sigh, saying: "Elder sister, you entered my brother's household from the Taiyuan Wang clan and became a member of the Changsun family. Can you still manage the affairs of the Taiyuan Wang clan?"

  Chang Sun Wang's mouth slightly opened and she was stunned for a moment, then the anger from just now dissipated.

  The queen's tone changed, and she advised: "After Chengqian's serious illness this time, he has become a different person. As the crown prince, he is both fortunate and unfortunate. If he can be a carefree king, it would be his good fortune! Tai'er is competitive, but with me around, Chengqian won't end up like Jiancheng..."

  Zhangsun Wang heard this and panicked, hastily looking around in all directions. Fortunately, there were no palace maids or servants inside the bedroom.

  The queen's eyes showed a tired look and said: "Unfortunately, I'm afraid this body won't make it through the year. When brother comes back, have him prepare himself first!"

  "Guanyin, don't worry, your body will get better!" Longsun Wang comforted.

  But even she felt how pale her language was!
