|||->-> Li Huachen's brothers and sisters drank together, drank and drank, and walked directly to Li Huachen's table, stood still in front of Li Huachen, and said politely:

"May I ask if it is the Ninth Highness of the Northern Warring States?"

Everyone was a little surprised, and Li Huachen replied: "I am, is there something wrong?"

"Oh, then, since you just left halfway through, the Great Elder asked me to tell you about the rules of tomorrow's competition. ”

Li Huachen waved his hand: "What am I still competing, I offended the Nanban princess miserably, I can't win, I don't have any thoughts, I'll get out of the cover tomorrow, no need to introduce." ”

"The rules are like this. Tomorrow there will be a treasure hunt at the Lord's private garden villa, and theoretically, everyone has a chance to win, but whether they can pass the test depends on chance. ”

"Hey, hey, didn't you listen to me?" Li Huachen said: "I mean, tomorrow's show, I won't participate, I'm going home." ”

"That doesn't matter. The man went on to explain: "The garden of the lord of the kingdom is vast and beautiful, like a fairyland on earth. At that time, 28 young talents, including the three of you, will gather together to start a relaxing and enjoyable treasure hunting ....... ”

Li Huachen grabbed this person's hand: "Hey, hey, hey, you listen to people, I said I won't go, I won't play, I'm not tidy, I'm going home, I'm going home!"

"There are a total of ten treasures, that is to say, there will be ten people in the end to enter the last link, as long as they enter the last link, they will have the opportunity to communicate face-to-face with the princess of the southern country, face to face, and ...... heart-to-heart. ”

Li Huachen stood up suddenly, suddenly came to a grab, pressed this person's head and stuck it on the table, gritted his teeth and said: "I said I'm not going, I'm not playing, can you listen to people!?

"Hey, it hurts, it hurts!" The man kept shouting in pain, and said bitterly: "Your Highness the Nine, if you don't participate, the Northern Crown Prince and the Seventh Master who are with you will also lose their qualifications, and the Northern Warring States trio will be wiped out, you have to think about it clearly!"

Li Huachen was stunned, and pulled him up: "Hey, what does my withdrawal have to do with the two of them?"

The man moved his arm: "I don't know, that's the rule, you...... Are you still quitting?"

Li Huachen sat down: "Damn, what kind of shit rules are these, I can't play anymore?"

The man said: "The detailed rules, we sent you the mobile phone, you can see for yourself, the ninth master uses it slowly, and the small one retreats." ”

The man left, and Li Huachen sat in a daze, not saying a word for a long time.

Niu Lan looked at Li Huachen with a blank eye: "Brother, why don't you like to participate in the competition so much, don't you say that if you marry the princess of the southern country, there will be many benefits?"

Li Huachen shook his head depressedly: "Huahua, are the benefits so good? When a person accepts a marriage for the so-called benefits, then he must pay more." ”

"How much?" Flowey asked, puzzled.

Li Huachen shook his head: "In short, I can't live the kind of marriage life that is together because of interests, and I feel uncomfortable thinking about it." ”

Huahua didn't understand: "Aren't all modern people's marriages like this?

, have a car and a house or something....... And you and the princess of the southern kingdom are both royal families, isn't it more natural?"

Li Huachen smiled bitterly: "I don't know what other people are like, if I want to find it, I have to find the one I like, that princess, to be honest, she was really good-looking, but when I saw her expression today, that look, it was really unspeakably annoying." ”

Flowey said thoughtfully, "If only I were as beautiful as her." ”

Li Huachen touched Huahua's head: "Silly girl, instead of envying other people's appearance, family and luck, it is better to live your own life." There are some things that you are destined to be inferior to others, but you should firmly believe that as long as you believe in yourself, self-esteem and self-love, you will definitely have a very happy life. ”

"Is that so?"

"Of course. Li Huachen said: "For example, a child who is born unable to see things, if he envies and envy those children with normal vision all his life, then his life will be ruined." He will live forever in resentment, low self-esteem, jealousy, and pain. However, if he can accept his own shortcomings and work hard to discover his strengths, he can also have a good life. ”

Li Huachen patted Huahua's shoulder: "You are the same, although you are not as beautiful as the princess of the southern kingdom, you should also believe that even if you are not beautiful, you can be happy." I will cure you and get you back on your feet, and when the time comes, I want you to be strong and optimistic to live, to believe in yourself, to like yourself, and to recognize yourself. ”

Huahua smiled movingly: "Brother, you are so good." ”

"That's it. Li Huachen said: "I really think I'm good, hahaha." ”

"Not true. Lu Ji said suddenly.

"Ah, am I not right?" Li Huachen asked in surprise, and found that Lu Ji's eyes were straight, as if he was thinking about something, he didn't intervene for a long time, it seemed that he had been thinking about something.

"It's not normal from start to finish. Lu Ji raised his head and looked at Li Huachen: "Don't you think that this time has always been strange?"

Ding Zhaohua said: "Brother Lu, what do you mean?"

Lu Ji said: "What they want to choose is the son-in-law of the southern country, if the purpose is to choose the son-in-law, the partner, and the future strategic partner of the southern country, then their selection system is very chicken." ”

Li Huachen also began to think: "I have always felt that something is wrong, but I have never been able to figure it out. ”

Lu Ji said: "They want to choose a strategic partner in the south, but their indicators are too arbitrary, right? The assessment on the first day is quite reasonable, which can test a person's IQ, emotional intelligence, situation judgment and influence, as well as some very core qualities." But to be honest, the results of this kind of test are very random and unexpected. ”

"Hmm. Ding Zhaohua nodded.

"The next day's was even more outrageous, the Dragon and Tiger brand, which was obviously eliminating some weak people. It is said to be a test of the ability to survive in a desperate situation, but it is better to say that it is specially eliminating some people whose family backgrounds are not strong enough. Qingxi kind of person, there will be many people to keep him to the end, such an assessment, for him, there is no difficulty at all. ”

"That's true. Ding Zhaohua said: "Looking back now, if I wasn't with you, I might not have been able to get by in the second link." ”

Lu Ji said again: "The strangest thing is their attitude towards you, Brother Li."

。 ”

"Huh, attitude towards me?"

"That's right. Lu Ji said: "The first day is a side quest, and the second day is a hidden quest, are there really any of these things? Including the guy who came to you just now to tell you the rules, you want to quit, your two brothers are going to lose their qualifications, which is simply forcing you to continue. ”

Li Huachen also suddenly realized that he seemed to be targeted.

"I've been targeted ....... ”

"It must be. Lu Ji said: "You see, the second link, if it is really to be fair, it should be that everyone only has a dragon card or a tiger card, but you are a dragon and tiger card, that kind of specification, it also forces you to go to the end." And you have to be the target of everyone, and become the existence that everyone wants to target. If you weren't smart enough, in the second session, you would be miserable, and you might even be in danger. ”

Li Huachen's expression was solemn: "It's like ...... Someone changed the rules for me, customized the rules, and wanted to see me unlucky. Then he said incomprehensibly: "It doesn't make sense, it's the first time I've come to Nanguo, and I've never seen the princess and royal family of Nanguo before, and you all know that I only recently became the ninth prince, and I don't have any trouble with them before." If they really want to choose the object of the alliance, it should be the princes of various countries who are more suitable. They are in power, and they are the ones who may become kings in the future, and they are even more worthy of investment!"

"And. Lu Ji said: "Isn't it too strange that they are willing to use the artifact as a dowry? Any royal court, the artifact should be protected as much as possible and forbidden to flow out, right? Why do they give the artifact to others?"

Li Huachen was silent for a long time, and slowly raised his head: "It seems that it is not possible not to continue walking, and if you want to know the answer, you can only continue to participate in the next link." ”

Ding Zhaohua said: "You decided?"

"It's not that I decided, it's that they didn't allow me to quit at all. Li Huachen said: "It is estimated that the princes of various countries will receive the same task, and they must complete the task and stand out." Once I withdraw, the northern kingdom will be completely annihilated, and when the time comes, the hat of failure in this mission will be on my head, and I will not be able to pay the bad when I go back. ”

"Tomorrow's treasure hunt should not be so simple, let's all be careful, gather together, and work together. The two of us will always be with you and protect you. ”

Li Huachen said in surprise: "This ...... Don't you need it?"

Lu Ji said: "You have been out of the limelight, and now, including Qingxi, almost everyone thinks that you are dangerous, a hidden mission, a side mission, you have been hanging all the way, and you have become the competitor they are most worried about." I'm worried about ....... ”

"Someone will do a hack on Brother Paintdust!?"

Lu Ji said solemnly: "It's not that there is no such possibility. ”

Huahua said nervously: "Brother, you ...... You have to be careful. ”

Li Huachen was stunned for a long time, and suddenly laughed: "It's not so easy to harm me." ”

Lu Ji and Ding Zhaohua were stunned: "What do you mean?"

Li Huachen's head was brought together with the two of them, muttering and muttering, and talking a lot.

Lu Ji's eyes widened: "Li Huachen, is there anything in this world that you dare not do?"
