Chapter Twenty-Six: A Best-of-Three Gamble

Qin Xingyi stood on the high platform, dressed in red, looking even more heroic, in the midst of the coaxing and whistling under the ring, her expression was solemn, and she felt a strange feeling, as if she heard someone calling for herself.

"Little Star...... Small...... Stars ......"

The voice seemed to be nothing, vaguely echoing in the ears repeatedly, who was calling himself? Qin Xingyi fell into deep thought, searched in his memory, and concluded that this title was only Xuanyuan Mingyu who had called herself this way four years ago.

Could it be that Xuanyuan Mingyu is calling herself? Has his memory returned? If all his memories are restored, he can interrogate him overnight.

Qin Xingyi didn't think much about it, because she was standing in the ring, as if she was standing on the tip of the wind, and many pairs of eyes in the audience were watching her, especially Mao Liang, the son of the richest leather merchant in Mo Lizhen, who could be said to be entangled.

Mao Liang is twenty-five years old this year, and he followed his father to the north and south to do the leather business, and he can be regarded as a well-informed and wealthy businessman. I came to Moli Town today, and I happened to catch up with the gambling game held tonight, and I wanted to join in the excitement when I had nothing to do.

When Mao Liang left Mao's house, he took the initiative to go to his father's room to say hello, got his father's permission, and was told to bring more money and cause less trouble. Mao Liang agreed one by one, led a few followers, and came to the ring in a big way.

The atmosphere of today's ring match was different from the past, probably because it was the first time that a woman participated, and it was particularly lively.

The most active figure in the ring is the father of the ring leader Jiang Zhaoyun, who tilted his neck and kept inciting his son to win the ring match so that he could marry Miss Qin home.

These words are extremely provocative, and undoubtedly arouse the heart of Mao Liang, the son of a wealthy businessman. He was a bachelor who had not yet married, and he had been busy with business and had not thought much about it.

Tonight, under the atmosphere of Jiang Zhaoyun's father who was eager to marry his daughter-in-law, Mao Liang couldn't help but think in his heart, if he could win the ring with his own strength tonight and marry a wife and go home, his father would definitely laugh happily.

Mao Liang is an expert in business, and he knows that the opportunity must not be lost and will not come again, so he instructed the two attendants: "Come, you two put Young Master Ben on the stage!" ”

The two followers had long been accustomed to lifting Mao Liang, and the two of them put their hands together in a cross shape, let Mao Liang stand on the cross, and lifted Mao Liang on the high platform.

Mao Liang came to the stage, and said to the sixth elder of the director's mansion with a fist salute: "Master Jiang, borrow a light, Ben Shao wants to insert a game and challenge this Miss Qin, how much silver does it take to start the fight?" ”

Jiang Zhaoyun was a little stunned, he had never encountered this kind of situation before, could he let outsiders come in and watch from the wall? He hurriedly asked Fu Ding to ask the mayor of the town, Ren Sheng.

When Mayor Ren saw this happening, he was very happy and thought: Fortune has come! Mao Liang is the son of the richest man in Moli Town, and he inserts a game to gamble, which is equal to twice the silver of the usual game, how can there be any reason not to agree? Immediately, Le Hehe walked up to the stage. Patience says:

"Young Master Mao, the purpose of the ring competition is to have fun for the villagers, just for fun. However, if you want to insert a game, it will inevitably disrupt the original deployment, so you have to pay double the gambling money. Usually, a game of silver requires 100 taels of silver to start the game, and you need 200 taels of silver to insert the game. ”

Mao Liang bared his teeth, and the mere two hundred taels of silver were just a drop in the bucket in his eyes, so he didn't care about it at all, and said with a smile: "Two hundred taels of silver is no problem, Ben Shao can order his followers to serve it immediately." It's just that I don't know if Miss Qin agrees to take over? ”

Mayor Ren Sheng knew in his heart that Miss Qin would definitely not refuse, but in front of everyone, he always had to show fairness and justice with a high profile, and turned to Qin Xingyi and asked, "Is it okay?" ”

Qin Xingyi was thinking about the call of Xiaoxing in her heart, and she didn't care about Mayor Ren's inquiry, and replied: "Feel free, the sooner the better, hurry up and start." ”

Qin Xingyi looked at the VIP viewing platform and found that it was empty, Ren Zhen and Xuanyuan Mingyu were gone, only seeing her red cloak and the longbow and quiver on the seat, she felt a little strange, and wanted to end the fight quickly.

Mao Liang was overjoyed when he heard that Miss Qin did not object, and hurriedly asked a follower to hand over the gambling silver of two hundred and twenty-one rounds to the Ren Mansion Ding, who collected the money, and said with a big sting: "Mayor Ren, what are we comparing to this game?" ”

The mayor of the town, Ren Sheng, was very satisfied when he saw that the two hundred taels of silver were in his pocket, and ordered the champion Jiang Zhaoyun to retreat to the top of the stairs of the ring to watch, and said to Mao Liang:

"Young Master Mao, I guess you also know that we have never had a woman participate in the ring in Moli Town, not to mention that no one has ever intervened in a game to stir up trouble, so in this game anyway, you should give a woman a thin face, not to use weapons for the time being, only to show the kung fu on the fists and feet, what do you think?"

Mao Liang heard that the town mayor Ren Sheng intended to defend Miss Qin, and he was suppressed by his words, and it was not good to use weapons in public, not to mention that two hundred taels of silver was not worth mentioning, so he had to agree: "This is easy to say, it all depends on the mayor's arrangement." ”

Of course, the mayor of the town Ren Sheng wanted to give Qin Xingyi a cheap, so as to please her, looked back at her, and saw that the corners of her mouth were upturned, looking at the distant night sky with a smile, fluttering like a fairy in red who was out of the world, and he admired it very much, and he definitely refused to give people like Mao Liang a chance to hurt Miss Qin.

When the mayor heard Mao Liang agree, he thought in his heart that he wanted to think of a simple way to compete in martial arts, so as to fool Miss Qin into the past, because he expected that even if Qin Xingyi knew martial arts, he should only be able to embroider his legs with some fists, how could he be a strong opponent of Mao Liang?

He looked left and right, and saw that Jiang Zhaoyun's father was heartbroken and his son was tired, so he stammered and sent two red apples. Jiang Zhaoyun unceremoniously stretched out his hand to take it, and was about to open his mouth to eat, but he heard the town mayor Ren Sheng shouting: "Don't eat!" ”

Jiang Zhaoyun was opening his mouth wide to bite the apple, and when he heard the boss's shout, he had to fix his mouth there, and looked at the boss with a smile, not knowing what was going on.

When the mayor of the town Ren Sheng saw the two red apples, he had an idea in his heart, and said to Jiang Zhaoyun: "Sixth, borrow your apples, and reward you with a basket of red apples to quench your thirst when you go back." ”

Jiang Zhaoyun realized that the boss wanted these two apples, which was nothing, so he immediately took two steps, handed them to the boss, and said, "Boss, do you need to talk about this?" Just take it! I'm in a panic tonight, I haven't played a fight, and I don't need to quench my thirst. ”

Mayor Ren Sheng was very satisfied with Jiang Zhaoyun's ability to be a man, took the two big red apples, held them in his hands, and said:

"Young Master Mao, in the first game of tonight's opening, just bet on these two red apples, you and Miss Qin are not allowed to use weapons, whoever cuts this apple in half first, or whoever cuts the apple with the most ingenious technique, will be considered the winner." What do you think? ”

Mao Liang heard this comparison, and he was in the middle of it, he had practiced hard qigong with his father since he was a child, and he was extremely old in kung fu cultivation such as iron sand palms, and a small apple was simply not worth taking out for a competition, and asked with a grin: "Mayor Ren, but according to his orders, Ben Shao has no objections." It's just that Ben Shao has an additional condition, if Ben Shao is lucky enough to win this Miss Qin, can he go to her to be a daughter-in-law? ”

"Mao Shao wants to marry a daughter-in-law?" Everyone in the audience immediately cheered, thinking that tonight's ring must be more exciting, the father of the champion Jiang Zhaoyun is clamoring for his son to marry a daughter-in-law, and now Mao Liang also spoke amazingly, it seems that this Miss Qin is about to be famous tonight?

The sensation in the audience and the inquiring gaze of Mayor Ren, Qin Xingyi ignored them, she seemed absent-minded, thinking about something else.

Everyone in the audience began to place bets, and almost everyone was optimistic about Mao Liang all the time, and they all bet on Mao Liang to win.

Mayor Ren Sheng suffered from gains and losses, hesitated for a while, tried his best to hide his thoughts of marrying Qin Xingyi, and said: "Mao Dashao, marriage is not trivial, at least it should be two wins in three games, whether you and Miss Qin are destined depends on whether you win or lose." ”

"Is it a best-of-three game? The total amount of gambling silver is only six hundred taels of silver, and there is no problem with this less. ”

Seeing that Mao Liang agreed quickly, the silver would roll in, and asked Qin Xingyi, "Miss Qin, did you agree to Mao Shao's gambling offer?" ”

Qin Xingyi seemed to turn around, thought about it for a while, and said with a smile: "This is nothing!" Since it is a win-of-three game made by Mayor Ren, the gambling contract can be added, if Miss Ben wins, Young Master Mao will deign to be Miss Ben's entourage for a year, is it okay? Mao Liang was angry and ridiculous when he heard Qin Xingyi's gambling agreement, and he actually let himself be her subordinate after he lost, so he immediately clapped his hands and said: "Okay, don't regret it, if you lose, you will be my daughter-in-law, and go home with me to see my in-laws." ”

Qin Xingyi couldn't help but be amused, pursed her red lips, and said, "Then it depends on whether you have this ability!" ”

Mao Liang is very confident, as the saying goes: no diamond don't do porcelain work. He thought that he had two brushes, and immediately clenched his two iron fists and said: "This is a young man, you may not know the way, let you see it tonight, it's not bragging, it's all real kung fu." ”

Qin Xingyi finally shifted his attention to Mao Liang, and saw that he was sturdy, but he was also an expert in martial arts, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Why would you suddenly propose to marry?" Miss Ben hadn't seen you before. ”

Mao Liang is a master of doing business, and his kung fu is not weak, if he is reasonable, it is absolutely not a problem to distinguish between right and wrong, explained:

"Miss Qin doesn't know, we have always been men who come out to play prestige, and most of the women go down to the kitchen to coax children, and there has never been a woman who can be as bold as you and dare to fight the top-notch, which is equivalent to ignoring us big men, of course Ben Shao wants to suppress your prestige."
