The princess still had a little hope just now, thinking that she could win back a game, but now she is disappointed! So he said angrily: "Father, you are purely bringing a group of pigs, and you can't say a word, how can you win!" ”

King Qi sighed: "Alas! Lone never thought that this person was so powerful! ”

"This man dares to set the odds like this, and says that he is sure of winning, but we don't believe it. Alas! It's also my two greedy, and I shouldn't bet. "The two princes are now distressed by their two hundred taels of gold.

At this time, Lin Shi was pestering Dongfang Jiao: "Mother, we earned more than three thousand taels of gold this time, give me some." ”

Dongfang Jiao smiled: "Don't you still have five taels left uncharged, if you use it carefully, it will be enough to spend many years." ”

Lin Shi was very unconvinced: "I have never spent money lavishly. ”

Dongfang Jiao suddenly scolded: "You dead girl, you don't want to talk about it, you still want to make your mother's money." If it weren't for Steward Chen's persuasion, you would have staked it all, and now you still have the face to ask. ”

Lin Shi held her mouth and said, "Be stingy, don't forget it." ”

However, Dongfang Jiao smiled at Ji Ling and said: "It's still Ling'er, I didn't gamble the ten taels of gold I gave, and I will give you forty taels when I return home, so that you can make up the whole thing." ”

"Thank you, ma'am!" Ji Ling said happily.

Lin Shi couldn't stand the stimulation a little: "Mother, you're too eccentric!" Am I your own? ”

How do you know that Ji Ling replied very seriously: "My brother said a long time ago, a stupid person like you was not born to Master Hou and his wife at all, it must have been given by the shopkeeper when his wife went to the street to buy silk." ”

When the crowd heard this, they immediately burst into laughter!

Lin Shi not only didn't get angry, but laughed along.

Unexpectedly, the princess happened to come over at this time and happened to hear Ji Ling's words.

Now he couldn't stand on his feet with his smile, his hands on his stomach, and his body slipped straight down. Fortunately, one hand grabbed Ji Qiao's clothes so that he didn't sit on the ground.

After the princess finished laughing, she begged: "Madame Dongfang, can you return the one hundred taels of gold I deposited?" That's my mother's money. ”

Ji Ling immediately rushed to speak: "The princess must ask her father for the money she lost, this is what she wants." ”

"How do you know?" When the princess saw that the plan had been exposed, she didn't bother to hide it.

Ji Ling pointed in the direction of King Qi with his finger: "Look for yourself, the king is gone, but your two royal brothers are following behind, and they don't want to make up the excitement, they must be looking for money from their father." And when you come over, you're smiling from afar. ”

The princess was speechless, and this kid was too observant!

Dongfang Jiao said: "It's okay, I'll refund the princess one hundred taels, but in order to prevent Shi'er from gossiping, I will also refund her five amounts." ”

At this moment, both of them had happy faces.

Ji Ling sighed: "Alas, in a few days, I will lose to Mrs. again." ”

Lin Shi and the princess were not convinced: "Crow's mouth! We are not good at poetry and arithmetic, but we know martial arts very well, and we know who buys to win. ”

Ji Ling said with contempt: "I don't bother to fight you, but your gambling is not good, and you will have to go back if you lose." ”

Lin Shi and the princess both said: "If you lose this time, you will never ask for it again." ”

But everyone shook their heads in disbelief.

The princess said to Lin Shi at this time: "There's nothing to do now, let's look at the odds." ”

So the two left excitedly.

However, after looking at the odds, the princess was very angry: "This dead Ji Qiao, and said that I will take the first, the top 20 in this odds, there is no name for me at all." ”

Lin Shi immediately comforted: "Princess, your martial arts can be ranked within fifty at most, and you really can't enter the top twenty." ”

The princess sighed, "Alas! I wanted to buy my own some just now, but now I feel like I'm not worth a tael. However, the odds of the top 20 are too low, the first place is one to five, and the twentieth place is one to twenty; I can't make much money by investing in them, and I don't know who to buy. ”

Lin Shi is very confident: "These twenty people were carefully observed and carefully selected by me, my mother, and my brother, and he both said: The first place will definitely be produced among the twenty people." ”

The princess asked, "Who will you buy?" ”

Lin Shi sighed: "I am optimistic about the top three, but the odds are too low, they are one to five, one to five to five, and one to six; I don't know who to buy? ”

The princess said, "If one person buys a little, whoever wins will earn it." ”

"Okay." Lin Shi nodded in agreement, but said in her heart: It's just that the money is too little, and you can't make much.

When Ji Ling saw that there was no one around Ji Qiao, he asked seriously: "Ji Qiao, can the princess take the first place?" ”

Ji Qiao replied: "The chance is very small, less than one percent, but I'm different, at least twenty percent chance." If you're lucky, your chances can be increased by 10 percent, and it's absolutely fine to finish in the top 10. ”

......

In the evening, Ann helped the house.

Lin Shi asked very eagerly: "Steward Chen, are there many people betting today?" ”

Steward Chen said regretfully: "There are many people watching the excitement, and there are not many people who bet, but the betting amount is relatively high, a total of eight hundred taels of gold." There are mainly three large amounts: one bet three hundred taels, one bet two hundred taels, and the princess also bet ninety taels. Others voted very little. ”

Lin Shi sighed: "It seems that the nine taels I voted for are not worth mentioning at all." ”

Ji Qiao hurriedly asked, "Who voted for three hundred and two hundred?" And to whom? ”

Steward Chen replied: "Three hundred voted for Qi Xiong, and two hundred voted for Xuan Bu, all of them are twenty people from outside the world. But I don't know the two people who bet, and I don't know which house it is.

The others mainly voted for the top few, but one person voted for the princess bet, with thirty taels. ”

Ji Qiao was thinking: Who is this Xuan? How does it sound like the name of the abbot of Shaolin!

Lin Shi smiled at this time: "Those who bet heavily must be fools." ”

Ji Qiao also smiled: "You are the fool, the top few people will be eliminated in less than two rounds." ”

Lin Qing immediately asked puzzled, "Why?" It's all carefully selected by us. ”

Ji Qiao replied: "When you were picking, you all went to see people who performed very well in the group stage, and no one else paid attention to it, how do you know that no one deliberately hides your strength?" ”

Dongfang Jiao and Lin Qing both kept nodding at this time, thinking that it was very reasonable! The three of them didn't have time to observe everyone at all, but they just watched those who performed very amazingly.

Ji Qiao said again: "These top-ranked first-round knockouts, everyone will pay special attention to them and study their martial arts routines, so these people will be out quickly." But it's a good thing for us, whoever buys them and wins loses. ”

Dongfang Jiao and Lin Qing couldn't help but admire: "Although Gongzi Qiao doesn't know martial arts, his analysis is really reasonable!" ”

Lin Shi was in a hurry, but she didn't cry: "Mother, the nine taels of gold I invested, can you return it to me now?" ”

Dongfang Jiao directly refused: "This account has been done, how can it be returned." ”

Lin Shi complained about Ji Qiao again: "Why didn't you say it earlier? ”

Ji Qiao said angrily: "You don't believe me at all, if it weren't for the fact that Mrs. and Gongzi thought my words were reasonable, you wouldn't believe me now." ”

Lin Shi was worried again: "It seems that tomorrow I will have to be scolded to death by the princess!" ”

At the same time, Ji Qiao was also worried, so he advised: "Don't talk to the princess first, so as not to distract her from the competition." ”

"Oh." Lin Shi looked dejected.

Ji Qiao told again: "Madam, son, miss, due to limited energy, the three of you will go around tomorrow." Don't worry about the top 20 people, focus on the two people who have been heavily betted, and the people behind them dare to do this, they must be very sure, so we can't afford to lose whoever takes the first place! Also pay attention to whether there are other hidden masters. ”

Everyone didn't care about it just now, but now that Ji Qiao said this, he was indeed a little panicked!

These two people, one was bet on 300 taels of gold, and the other was bet on 200 taels of gold, both of which were 50 times the odds, and the compensation amounts were 15,000 taels and 10,000 taels respectively. Whoever wins will lose everything!

Dongfang Jiao asked worriedly at this time: "Young Master Qiao, we only add up to more than four thousand taels of gold now, if we lose, how can we compensate?" ”
