The story of Princess Xiatang's counterattack

Chapter 262 Stone Cave
Chapter 262 Stone Cave
Xia Houxiang on the opposite side was holding the chess record, obviously also noticed this, the chess record in his hand was not written, he didn't know if it was drawn by his brother, as far as the chess record alone was concerned, he had no clue at all.

"Li'er, let's follow the drawing above and read it." Xia Houxiang put the chess record on the table, and turned to the page with the same shape as the chessboard on the stone table.

It is worth mentioning that before this page, all the chess games drawn on it were drawn with just a few strokes. Only after this page, although the style of painting is the same, it is clear where the chess should be placed.

Rongli nodded, now this is the only way she can do it, she thought in her heart, what will this chess piece be like in the end?
The white piece fell, and the two compared the chess record to move the piece step by step, chasing, encircling, blocking, intercepting, and killing. Every few steps, the situation on the chessboard changed.

Rong Li felt that the person who drew the chess game must have a deep-rooted chest and great intelligence, otherwise how could the direction of the game be so ever-changing.

Seeing more and more chess pieces fall, Rongli suddenly said in surprise, "No more?"

I saw her flipping through the book strangely, and she had reached the last page, but the game of chess in front of her was not finished yet.

Turning the page again, the last page is still what I just saw.

Xia Houxiang took the chess record that Rongli handed over, and flipped through it from the beginning to the end.

Got nothing.

His eyes fell on the chessboard, and suddenly his pupils shrank. Isn't this...

"Li'er, give me the black pieces." Xia Houxiang fixed his eyes on the chessboard, and the white pieces in his hand quickly fell to one place.

Rong Li handed him his box of chess pieces, and then saw him quickly place two pieces, one black and one white, on the chessboard alternately.

It looks like it has been downloaded countless times without thinking about it at all.

Rong Li was sitting opposite with her chin in her hand, she was a little curious as to what kind of chess this was.

However, the answer can only be asked after Xia Houxiang has finished playing. All his energy is now concentrated on the chessboard.

Until the last piece is dropped, the chessboard has become a game where white wins and black loses. Just as Rongli thought before, the master of this chess game wants white to win.

"Ah Xiang..." Rong Li was about to ask, but there was a loud "click", the ground began to move slowly, Xia Houxiang crossed the table to protect Rong Li in his arms, and backed away again and again.

In an instant, a big gap opened up on the flat ground.

Finally, the moving ground stopped, and a staircase leading underground was placed under the crack.

Rong Li and Xia Houxiang looked at each other, and they both saw shock in each other's eyes.

When the two of them approached, the stairs leading to the bottom were submerged in darkness, as if there was no end.

"Ah Xiang, what's the matter with that chess?" Rong Li took a look at it, and then asked his doubts.

"The chess game at the end of the chess record is an endgame. My brother taught me how to play it. I was young at the time. Although I was interested in chess, I was not proficient in it. This game was found by my brother from an isolated book. The situation is ever-changing. My brother After studying it for a long time, I set out the winners and losers, and then I carefully taught it to me. I found it interesting. If there was nothing to do, I set it up according to what my brother said. Just now you said that the drawing of the chess record is over, and I just saw the chessboard. The chess game is the beginning of the game that my brother broke, so this game of chess is exactly what my brother left."

Xia Houxiang said while recalling that he pestered his brother to teach him this game of chess for a long time, so he was naturally impressed.

Looking at the chaotic chessboard, after the shock just now, the chess pieces fell one after another and scattered all over the place.

Brother, what are you going to tell him?
Looking back at the bottomless stairs, Xia Houxiang said, "Li'er, you..."

"I'll go down with you." Before Xia Houxiang finished speaking, she was interrupted by Rongli, she knew what he meant next, but none of them knew what was going down the stairs, how could she let him alone risky.

It's about Xia Houxiang's elder brother, Rongli knows that he will definitely find out, if that's the case, how can she not accompany him?
Xia Houxiang looked at Rongli with firm eyes, and sighed in his heart, he held her hand tightly, "Follow me."

"Okay." Rongli nodded obediently.

Xia Houxiang took out the fire folder, stepped on the ladder with one foot, and the two of them walked down the ladder.

The surroundings were shrouded in darkness, except for the little light in Xia Houxiang's hand.

The last step landed on the ground, Xia Houxiang turned around and embraced Rongli, and stood with him.

There was no light here, making people unable to see the distant scene clearly. Xia Houxiang was walking around with a fire folder, and suddenly saw a table with candles on it.

He walked over to light the candle, and this was the dark cave, slightly brighter.

"Ah Xiang, there is a qin over there." Rong Li pointed to the stone wall not far away, where a guqin was placed, and beside the qin case was a thin sheet of music, stacked neatly on top of the qin case.

Rong Li stepped forward to check it out, and he understood.

On the top is the chess record, just play according to the chess record, and change to the piano score at the bottom, needless to say, you can play according to the above.

Sitting confidently behind the piano table, Rong Lisu plucked the strings with his hands, and the melodious sound of the piano sounded.

Seeing her start playing the piano, Xia Houxiang looked around along the cave.

This stone cave should be located in the lower part of the nine-hole labyrinth. Although it is dark and opaque, there is a slight breeze in, and the stone cave is not stuffy.

There are many small bronze mirrors inlaid on the stone walls, which are small and round, and are placed on the surrounding stone walls.

Because of being underground, some small drops of water were wet on the stone wall, and some condensed into a stream and dripped down.

Xia Houxiang was watching, when he suddenly heard something wrong with the sound of the piano, but after only a moment, it returned to normal.

Fisherman's question and answer, brother has played this song many times.

The love between the green mountains and green waters in the song is my elder brother’s favorite. He once said that if he was not born in the royal family, what he would most like to do is a woodcutter, who works at sunrise and rests at sunset, and lives with the mountains and rivers every day. , so uncomfortable.

At that time, the elder brother's expression was full of yearning. As the eldest prince, he had greater responsibilities than other princes, and his father raised him as his successor, so that kind of simple and leisurely pastoral life, Destined to miss him.

Xia Houxiang had heard his elder brother play this piece countless times, so he didn't like this kind of melodious tune, so he just memorized the score of this piece.

At the end of the song, Rong Li hurriedly got up, after experiencing the chess game just now, she was afraid that she would have to move after playing the game.

However, there was no movement in the quiet cave.

Rong Li was a little puzzled, flipped through the piano score, she also played it wrong, why didn't she move?

"Li'er, did you play according to the piano score just now?" Xia Houxiang asked.

"Yeah, I was afraid that I would play it wrong, so I played it a little slower," Rong Li flipped through the score and said, then snapped his fingers, as if he had suddenly realized, "Tell me, is it because I played too slowly that I played it too slowly?" no response?"

Rong Li thought it should be like this, so he sat down and played it again.
