Above the attic, Xia Ji's eyes were gloomy, and he turned to look at Mu Huaqing, who was trembling in his heart and was silent.

The next second game is to select the top ten from these hundred pills to enter the second round of the competition, Jiang Changan, Xiao Pingkuo and the swarthy man, in addition to the three people, seven more people will be selected.

After the second round, two out of 10 people will be selected to enter the final third round of the competition.

Just as the eunuch was about to announce the start of the second round of the competition, Xia Ji looked at Jiang Xiaoru on the left, supported his forehead with one hand for deep thought, and said: "It's too boring to play like this, Brother Jiang can have another gamble with Yaxing this time?" The last time Brother Jiang won a game in King Gong's mansion, this time this king wants to win back!"

Jiang Xiaoru squinted and smiled: "How does Your Highness want to gamble?"

"Simple!" Xia Ji suddenly stood up and said to the attic, "This year, there are three people who have practiced the Four Pindan, which is really unexpected. This king announced a rule change, directly allowing these three to enter the third round of the 'Fire Fight' competition to directly determine a winner. ”

There was an uproar in the audience, the third round of the competition was not like the first round, but after the second round, two of the best were selected from ten people, and the two of them did not fake foreign objects, did not use secret techniques, but purely manipulated the flame competition, which was called "fire fight"!

I'm afraid that once the two fight, there will be a third person who will take advantage of the fisherman, and it is very likely that none of the last three will be the first to make a move, and there has been a stalemate.

Xia Ji said with a smile: "These three people have to fight in the fire, you must know that you have to divide the winner within the time of one pillar of incense. ”

Xia Ji thought slightly, and said to Jiang Chang'an: "Since it is a fire fight, it is inevitable that there will be casualties, if this king adds a competition of life and death, I don't know if the prince of Jue dares to compare?"

Before Jiang Changan could answer, Xia Ji continued: "If Prince Jue doesn't continue to compare, it's not a shameful thing, it just so happens that the three-person fire bucket has turned back to a normal two-person fire fight, and all the Jue princes don't have to worry about it." ”

Xia Ji said so bluntly in front of many people, he naturally had bad intentions in his heart, and this statement undoubtedly completely blocked his retreat.

Jiang Changan smiled slightly: "The other Xiao Wang don't understand, but Huo still understands a little, don't worry." ”

The happiest thing is that Xiao Pingkuo, a person who has been humiliated by Jiang Changan many times with different identities, heard that it can be talked about life and death, that is, he signed a life and death certificate, and life and death on the stage have nothing to do with the audience.

Xiao Pingkuo's back tooth socket gurgled, and he secretly thought: "This time, Lao Tzu has to let you taste the taste of not being able to survive and not to die!"

"Good!" Xia Ji shouted, laughing secretly.

Xia Ji turned to look at Jiang Xiaoru and said, "Brother Jiang, you and I will bet on this last game." ”

Jiang Xiaoru said lightly: "Three people, how to bet?"

"It's simple, just bet on whether the prince wins or loses. Xia Ji said.

As long as Xiao Pingkuo and this dark-skinned man win Prince Jue, it will be counted as Prince Jue's loss, and this win must be won by Prince Jue to win two people, which is not a fair gamble.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, there was a scream like a pig in the audience!

Mu Huaqing was shocked, he was very familiar with this voice, he heard it once after he was in the bamboo forest yesterday.

It was Xiao Pingkuo's cry.

Xia Ji and Mu Huaqing looked downstairs together, only to see that the person who shot was not Prince Jue, but the strange-looking and dark-skinned ordinary young man.

"This ......" Xia Ji and Mu Huaqing's eyes were as wide as two copper bells, and they couldn't believe what they had seen.

Xiao Pingkuo lay on the ground like a dead pig, covered in fire, rolling back and forth.

"Thank you. Jiang Chang'an said.

The swarthy young man's tone was as peculiar as his appearance, and he said, "No thanks, although he plotted against you, I did it to make the game fairer, not to save you." ”

Jiang Changan smiled: "How can you be sure that you can win me?"

"My son-in-law said that if he could win, he could win. Although I know that I am no match for you, whether it is alchemy or fighting. The boy stopped talking, and the flame in his hand was extremely ordinary, the most ordinary fire.

The spiritual power on his body is only the appearance of the early stage of the Vientiane Realm, and his ability to control fire is even less than Jiang Chang'an, so it can be said that the victory and defeat have been divided.

Above the attic, Jiang Xiaoru said with a smile: "The competition is only fair now, if Your Highness doesn't bet again, the competition of this fire bucket will be over......"

Xia Ji snorted coldly and said, "Brother Jiang thinks who will win?"

Jiang Xiaoru said: "In my opinion, this little brother who is dressed ordinarily and looks strange should win back." ”

Xia Ji sneered: "Brother Jiang is not mistaken, no matter how you look at it, Prince Jue has a greater chance of victory." Come on, take out 100,000 taels, and press it on His Royal Highness the Prince Jue!"

Jiang Xiaoru also called the woman behind him and whispered two words.

"Brother Jiang won't be penniless this time, right?" Xia Ji said tentatively.

Jiang Xiaoru said weakly: "How can I bear to sweep His Royal Highness Yaxing, this time I won't pay a penny, if it is passed out, it will not only damage the prestige of Jiang Mansion, but I am afraid it will also be detrimental to His Royal Highness King Gong, hehe......"

"That's good. Xia Ji smiled at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes turned downstairs again.

After just a few moments, everything will have an answer.

Almost everyone's mind in the palace was firmly on the former, and there were two figures on the stage.

There were only two people who didn't care about the duel-like competition.

When the maid in the west attic retreated for a long time, there were only two people left on the viewing platform in the hall, and even the sound of the alchemist under the stage could be heard.

They stood for half an hour, but none of them would say a word.

Just as the third round of the competition began, Xia Leling finally opened his mouth and asked, "Who are you?"

Situ Yuning didn't answer and asked, "Who are you, princess?"

Xia Leling was silent, and his expression darkened: "Naturally, I am not who he is, you are still a maid beside him." I'm not as good as you ...... this."

"The princess has a choice. Situ Yuning smiled, "Who said that the princess has no choice, as long as she wants to do it, even if she wants to be a maid, it is not impossible." I'm more curious about how you recognized him?"

Xia Leling said: "Prince Gong's mansion asked and answered, and one of the answers to the riddle he played was 'the butcher who killed pigs', he said that this answer was guessed according to the customs of Dongling Kingdom, but he didn't know that people in Dongling Kingdom did not eat pork. ”

Every place has its own local features, ethnic culture, this princess is not a beautiful vase without brains, Situ Yuning couldn't help but glance at her again.

"That's all there is to it?" Situ Yuning asked, "At all, you can't tell him who you think." ”

Xia Leling said: "Recently, a poem suddenly appeared on the wall of the inscription in the east of the city, its penmanship is like a painting of sand and mud, Fengbo Luan drifts, except for the book Shengzhang Yunzhi, only he can write that kind of handwriting." He tried his best to hide it in the tea book pavilion, but he couldn't hide his demeanor from childhood to adulthood, and he was used to ......"

Xia Leling paused and said, "He told you...... His business?"

"He told me everything, and only me. "Situ Yu's condensation is as heavy as a waterway. She rolled her eyes a few times, looked at Xia Leling and said, "You don't know that Prince Jue was seriously injured when he was assassinated on the way to the palace, since you already know his true identity, it was not by chance that you appeared outside the bamboo forest yesterday, but to see him?"

Xia Leling didn't answer, her eyes were still on Jiang Chang'an's body from beginning to end, and she was reluctant to miss every moment, although Jiang Chang'an had always stood motionless like a stone sculpture.

"How's he doing?"

Situ Yu condensed: "There is only one breath left, but it is far worse than what he once suffered." ”

Xia Leling said: "That's good......"

"That's good?" Situ Yuning frowned, "You think it's a very simple thing? Do you think he's had an easy time all these years?"

Situ Yuning's anger seemed to be ignited by these three words in an instant, and he sneered: "Yes, how can a little princess who lives in the palace all day long imagine his life? Endless killing and blood! You can never imagine that he may be in the pile of dead people when he eats, and you will never imagine that even if he puts a nail under his body every day before going to bed, he is afraid that he will sleep too deeply and never wake up again!"

Every word and sentence is directed to the heart, Xia Leling's hands are white, and his nails are embedded in the palms.

"There is also the golden hairpin that you asked the prince to withdraw when the royal family withdrew from the marriage five years ago, I have seen him take out the golden hairpin more than once and look deep, not letting others touch half a point, I am sometimes really jealous of the owner of the golden hairpin. But yesterday I was not jealous when I saw him, because I found that you were not worthy of him at all!"

Situ Yuning's eyes turned red as she spoke, and her words didn't hurt her heart word by word and tear open her scars.

"You are the princess of Xia Zhou Kingdom, and you think that you were born in the royal family, but you can at least laugh loudly! You can cry uncontrollably! But he can't even do this. You don't know that he has to pretend to smile when he is injured, and you don't know that he has already blocked his life when he smiles at the enemy!"
