Chapter 448: A Gamble of Life and Death
Finally, the happy lights above the heads of the two gathered more and more, but there were fewer and fewer "snakes, insects, rats and ants" blocking the two. But the speed at which the two of them moved forward became slower and slower.
At this time, the two knew that at the beginning, they were just cannon fodder because they were numerous, and now they are sleeping with equal opponents. But these people don't seem to be willing to attack them in groups, and choose to go up one by one, which gives the two of them a chance.
The battle was at a stalemate, but the guests above the main hall were a different scene.
At this time, two tables have been set up in the main hall, and a red and a blue bamboo tube is placed on the table, and the bamboo tube is filled with bamboo sticks. On the bamboo stick, there are clearly lines of small characters written, which seem to coincide with the guests present.
It turned out that after the two of them left, the guests were looking forward to something interesting later. Unable to stand the call of everyone, the old man of Jackdaw also made an exception, and sat up in the hall of the Crow Valley. The condition of the bet is which of these two people can reach the agreed place the fastest.
Li Cunjin was naturally not to be outdone, and took the lead in standing next to the red bamboo tube, looking confident. Nalan always had a faint smile on his face, and he didn't want to refute everyone's Yaxing, and stood at the blue bamboo tube. Now the gamble has been completed, the old man jackdaw walked between the two, coughed lightly, raised his hand, and seven or eight black-clothed people poured out around, handing over the bamboo sticks with small characters to the guests present.
These guests were a little surprised, but the old man Jackdaw explained with a smile: "Previously, I made a bamboo stick according to the list, which was originally intended to be used to raise cards for gifts, but I didn't expect it to come in handy here." ”
Everyone was stunned, and the old man Jackdaw continued: "Then listen, the rules are very simple, you think that you can reach the agreed place first, so put the bamboo sticks into the corresponding bamboo tubes." Quenching Crow Valley will send someone to keep an eye on the whole process to ensure that there are no omissions. As for the bride price, you can choose any one of the bride price, no matter whether it is valuable or not, and never interfere. ”
The guests present were all smiling when they heard this, but some people still seemed to have doubts, "Regardless of the ones who were not selected, how should they be selected among those who were selected?" ”
The old man waved his hand, signaling to be calm, and then continued, "It seems that you are all a little anxious, of course it is impossible for each of you to have one, and you have to choose one of the people you have chosen. Then we can only wait until tomorrow, when the little girl throws the hydrangea, whoever can grab it will be who's. What do you think? ”
There was a lot of discussion among the guests, but no one raised any objections. Seeing this, the old man clapped his hands and said loudly: "Then it's decided, the hundred years of prosperity in the Valley of the Crow will be tomorrow." ”
After a burst of cheers, all the guests began to go to the bamboo tubes on both sides in an orderly manner to put in the bamboo sticks. Or because this person led his troops here, the guests were still a little jealous of him, and if he offended him, he was afraid that as soon as he came out of the Crow Valley, he would lose his life.
And those who are not afraid, maybe they have something to do with Mingyue Tower early in the morning, maybe they have their own dependence, or they may have intentionally stammered, so they put the bamboo sticks into the bamboo tube of Mingyue Tower.
Li Cunjin is not a person who holds grudges, but he should be careful about this potential threat. So I deliberately paid attention to these guests who did not vote for me, and when the matter was over, I returned to the station and broke the crowd one by one.
Just as everyone was talking, the spies of the Quenching Crow Valley hurriedly came to report, "Huo Shu has killed seventy-six incoming offenders, and Lan Qin has killed seventy-five incoming criminals, and the two of them are making equal progress, and they are both trapped in a third of the way at this time, and it seems that they have encountered an insurmountable obstacle. ”
The old man waved his hand to repel the comer, and said with a smile: "It seems that the two are between the two." However, if the difference is too big, it will be a lot less fun, so do you want to increase the stakes? ”
When the guests heard this, they were silent for a while, and only after a while did they start whispering. At this time, no one is sure who will win the gamble, and the old man Jackdaw adds a fire at this time, not knowing what he wants.
Li Cunjin's mind was racing rapidly, and his eyes flickered. When he gambled just now, he was a little displeased. This kind of thing can't be put on the table in the first place, why do you want to do it. But he had to send it when he was ready to fly, so he borrowed the donkey from the slope and answered the gamble. Nalan didn't care, and let everyone talk about it, and he was like an old monk.
The old man Jackdaw naturally saw the two of them in their eyes, and then asked with a smile, "Then can you block your life?" ”
This sentence blurted out, completely shocking everyone on the spot. Just now it was just a "small gamble" that won or lost, but it would not be related to the life of the family, and if this "bet" was added at this time, it would not only be a matter of success or failure of the gambling game, but also make them fall into a huge panic in the next time.
Before the guests could speak, Nalan said softly in a tone that could not be refused: "What's the point of playing? I wonder what General Lee thinks? ”
Li Cunjin was still weighing the pros and cons at this time, and was poked by Nalan like this, so he could only accept it, "Then let's play, what do you think?" ”
Thinking that he opened his mouth, these people must have no reason to refuse. Moreover, among these killers, they have a deep relationship with the guests present, and he also wants to find out which people are behind the scenes. Therefore, as soon as the old man jackdaw mentioned it, he poked the sore spot of the guests with ghosts in their hearts, which caused everyone's ups and downs.
As if he didn't want to pay attention to everyone's chatter, the old man of the jackdaw clapped his hands, and his voice was like thunder, shocking all directions, only Nalan and Li Cunjin did not move. "Since there is no objection, it is decided. If either side loses, it must answer the three questions of the winning side, and if there is any concealment, blood will be spattered, and it will not be tolerated. ”
Everyone was silent, and they didn't notice anything different when they came here today. At this time, it seems that this is a place of right and wrong, and you should not stay for long.
Li Cunjin seemed to have guessed the overtone in the old man's words, and asked with a smile: "Is the old man afraid that there are people here who have bad intentions?" ”
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what Li Cunjin meant by this. Jackdaw Lao Re laughed instead of being angry, "Does the general feel that all the guests here are good people?" ”
Li Cunjin clapped his hands and applauded, "When I came, I heard that the old man Jackdaw can speak well, and he is still a well-known beauty." When I see it today, it really makes me admire in the next good life, if I can kiss Fangze, I will die without regrets......"
The old man's face moved slightly, and he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and said loudly, "The general is raised, but the slave family has passed the age of confusion, and it is really difficult to bear the general's love, and I still hope for Haihan." ”
Li Cunjin did not retreat, but wanted to step forward and move his feet, but was stopped by Nalan, and immediately became angry, "What, the owner of Mingyue Mansion also wants to get a piece of the pie?" ”
"What the general said is wrong, Mingyuelou Jianghu Xiaomen and small factions can't get on the stage, how dare they compete with the general. It's just that this is the Quenching Crow Valley, and we are all guests, and we need to abide by the etiquette, so as not to laugh and be generous. Nalan said neither humble nor arrogant, and he didn't take a step back when he stood in front of him, but it made Li Cunjin a little unable to write on stage.
Li Cunjin was a little nervous at this time, and shouted violently, "Nalan Xiao'er, then see the real trick under your hands." ”
As he spoke, he used the "Black Tiger Heart" and grabbed Nalan. Nalan's face moved slightly, but he turned slightly under his feet and moved towards the back, so he could avoid this hand, raised his hand, and pushed Li Cunjin out. Li Cunjin noticed that Nalan had deep internal strength in the trick just now, but at this time, it was difficult to ride a tiger, and he really couldn't save face, so he wanted to touch it again.
The old man did not say anything to stop him, but instead watched from the wall, happy to see the two of them face each other. At this time, she intends to use this to test the two of them, and if she makes up her mind, she can't change it. Nalan made a move just now, which was indeed unexpected by him, and at this time, he felt even more favoritism, and he had a bias.
The two of them went through a few moves, and everyone in the audience seemed to be equal, but Li Cunjin was complaining. He practiced horizontally, but his internal strength was much weaker. On the other hand, Nalan cultivated both inside and outside, but it was not affected in the slightest.
Finally, after exchanging palms again, Nalan took the initiative to stop, and this scene not only surprised Li Cunjin, but even the old man Jackdaw and the guests didn't know what he meant.
But the old man of the jackdaw immediately understood, and his intuition told him that if he continued to catch and fight, Li Cunjin would definitely die. Nalan didn't seem to want to end the tie on this, maybe Li Cunqiao instructed him not to hurt his life, so he showed mercy.
Li Cunjin was surging with blood in his chest at this time, and he had to take a breath and forcibly suppress it, and he had to pretend that nothing happened, which was really embarrassing. At this time, the spies of the Quenching Crow Valley came to report again, "Huo Shu has killed one hundred and thirteen incoming offenders, Lan Qin has killed one hundred and fourteen intruders, and the two sides have broken through the obstacles and are rapidly marching towards the attic. ”
This rare good news made Li Cunjin happy in his heart, so he suppressed the surging qi wave a little, and looked at Nalan coldly. But the white-clothed Nalan was not panicked at all, still calm and relaxed, and seemed to be full of confidence in Huoshu. But the old man jackdaw on the side was a little worried, if he followed this progress, I am afraid that Li Cunjin would be even better.
Nalan happened to speak at this time: "General Li, do you think that the victory is in your hands?" ”
Li Cunjin naturally didn't have the slightest hint of modesty, and laughed loudly: "Then does the owner of Mingyue Mansion think there is still a chance to win?" ”
Nalan walked out of the hall quickly, "In my opinion, all this has already been decided. Please take a look at ......"
As Nalan raised his hand, the happy lights in the sky outside the main hall were no longer what they were just now, and they were swinging in two directions. And at a glance, it seems to be more in the direction of fire forgiveness. Li Cunjin faintly felt a little uneasy, but he still forcibly tightened his face, "So what? ”
Nalan turned around and looked at everyone, "In less than a moment or three, the result will naturally be known!" At this time, Nalan was like a celestial man descending to earth, and he was full of spirit......
