Ji Qiao comforted: "Don't worry too much, I still have a countermeasure." ”

Hearing Ji Qiao say this, everyone is finally relieved! Although I knew that he didn't know martial arts, I always thought that he had some unexpected solutions.

However, when everyone went back to their rooms to rest, they still looked worried.

Lin Shi didn't care, she came to Ji Ling's room alone, and asked gently and politely, "Sister Ling, is my sister good to you?" ”

"Good! But borrowing money doesn't have to be talked about. Ji Ling saw her thoughts, so she answered very simply and politely.

Lin Shi said angrily in her heart: This dead girl is too direct! I haven't even opened my mouth yet.

But he still said cheekily: "Lend me ten taels, pay you back in the future, and teach you martial arts." ”

Ji Ling was very disdainful: "With your brain, after borrowing you, you will lose the bet, how can you pay it back?" Besides, I rely on my brain to eat, and it's useless to learn martial arts! ”

Lin Shi said angrily: "You are too picky, you can't have children if you keep the money." ”

Ji Ling actually smiled and said: "Who said that you can't have children, give me the one or two you have left, maybe I can help you give birth to several." ”

Lin Shi was huffing and leaving.

Ji Ling said sympathetically: "Look at your stupidity, I'll pay you attention." You threaten my brother early tomorrow morning, saying that you will tell the princess that the top twenty people will lose, unless he goes to your mother and asks for ten taels of gold. At that time, my brother will definitely agree, and your mother will definitely give it to my brother when she sees his face. ”

After Lin Shi heard this, he immediately kissed Ji Ling on the face, and said happily: "You still have a good brain!" ”

At this time, Ji Qiao also found Dongfang Jiao alone and said, "Madam, you have been secretly observing in the past two days, and among the candidates for the competition, you have selected a few masters who can be molded, and there is no background. We'll pull you over, and you'll give you some advice. We must not allow the two who placed heavy bets to win, they want to destroy the Hou Mansion, and one of them must be Xuanwu Hou. ”

Dongfang Jiao immediately rejoiced: "This plan is very good! I've been worried about this for a long time. ”

......

The next day, as soon as everyone finished breakfast, Lin Shi pestered Ji Qiao to ask for money.

Ji Qiao couldn't stand it, so he promised: "I'll talk to your mother later." ”

Lin Shi didn't relent: "I want it now." ”

Unexpectedly, Dongfang Jiao came over at this time, directly took out ten taels of gold, handed it to Lin Shi, and said very seriously: "I'll give it to you now, don't delay Qiao Gongzi to do things, and rush to the competition site immediately." ”

"Okay." Lin Shi agreed very happily and happily took the gold.

......

The knockout draw ceremony began, and the first place in each group was the first echelon, and the second place was the second echelon, and the two echelons were cross-drawn against each other.

There are a total of 300 games, divided into 20 rounds, each round is more than 15 games.

Fortunately, the opponent of the princess draw is not very strong.

However, the princess still did according to Ji Qiao's request, and was left weak.

But Tian Xi was not very lucky, and when he met a master, he was eliminated directly.

Unexpectedly, after 300 knockout matches, the top 20 people were eliminated by five.

What I didn't expect was that the first place was also eliminated.

Ji Qiao asked Steward Chen to eliminate these five players and directly fill the corresponding position on the odds list, and the odds remained unchanged.

The problem is that Qi Xiong and Xuan Bu also made the cut, but they didn't play against the top 20, so they didn't make it to the odds list.

Ji Qiao deliberately inserted the two of them, ranking first and second respectively, and the odds were set to one to two, so that everyone could pay more attention to them.

Then the bottom two of the odds list were removed, and the list still retained twenty people.

After Dongfang Jiao and the others saw it, they all thought that Ji Qiao's trick was clever!

......

However, the princess was a little panicked after seeing the elimination of the top 20 and the change in the ranking of the odds list! Come to Lin Shi immediately to understand the situation.

Lin Shi felt very embarrassed, so she repeated Ji Qiao's analysis last night to her. And shamelessly told the truth how he wanted back ten taels of gold, and now there are eleven taels.

But the princess asked, "Then what shall I do?" You can't threaten Ji Qiao and say that you can't compare. Besides, I won't quit if I kill me! ”

Lin Shi suggested: "Go and ask Ji Ling, this dead kid has a lot of ghost ideas." ”

So the two went to find Ji Ling together.

When the princess saw her, she immediately stammered with a smile on her face: "Good girl..."

Unexpectedly, Ji Ling directly interrupted her words: "If you are cheeky to find Mrs. Dongfang, she will definitely give it to you for the sake of the king." ”

The princess said angrily: "You need to teach this!" I've used this idea before, and I can't be more embarrassed! ”

Ji Ling actually said with contempt: "What's so embarrassing, you will continue to ask for it in the future, and sooner or later you will get used to it." ”

The princess still disagreed: "You don't have any other ideas, huh?" ”

Ji Lingqi said: "You know a fart, after meeting Madame, you don't have to talk at all, just pretend that she owes you money, and promise that Madame will take the initiative to give it to you." ”

"Yes, if you don't give it to us, you'll always be by my mother's side." Lin Shi agreed very much, and pulled the princess away.

The princess went with a half-push.

Unexpectedly, Dongfang Jiao just saw the two of them, and said directly: "Princess, I have explained to the housekeeper and asked him to return you one hundred taels of gold." ”

"Thank you, ma'am!" The princess is psychologically happy! You don't have to pretend to be yourself.

The two immediately happily went to Steward Chen.

But the princess laughed at herself, "Won't we be too embarrassed?" Both retreated twice. ”

Lin Shi actually said: "I don't care, it's only ten taels each time; You're a little wrong, and you'll get a hundred taels back every time. ”

The princess thought so, but asked, "How do you buy it this time?" ”

Lin Shi sighed: "I don't know, now I feel that the top 20 are unreliable." ”

The princess asked again, "Do you want to buy it?" ”

Lin Shi couldn't pay attention to it: "If you don't wait for the second round of elimination, you can buy a single win or lose, then you can be sure." ”

"Okay." The princess nodded in agreement, thinking that this was the only way to go.

......

On that day, everyone was very cautious and not many people bet.

The bet amount counted by Steward Chen was less than fifty taels of gold.

Lin Shi asked worriedly at this time: "Won't they all be afraid of losing, no one will bet in the future, right?" ”

Dongfang Jiao immediately scolded: "You fool knows how to keep money to gamble on a single game, others won't." ”

......

Xuanwu Houfu.

Tian Yi said angrily: "Dad, they are too cunning, and they deliberately ranked our people in second place so that everyone could pay attention." ”

Xuanwu Hou sighed: "It was my miscalculation that I made the note too early and too big to attract their attention." ”

Tian Yi asked, "Then why don't they rank our people first?" ”

Xuanwu Hou shook his head: "I don't understand, will there be anyone like us?" We also bet heavily, and more than we did. ”

Tian Yi was immediately curious: "Who is this person?" How much did it take? ”

Xuanwu Hou said happily: "No matter who it is, as long as it is against the Anbang Marquis Mansion, it is our ally!" So find a way to get in touch with this person so that you can support each other. ”

After hearing this, Tian Yi said happily: "I will send someone to observe secretly tomorrow." ”

......

The next day, after the second round of the knockout round, the princess still won without danger.

Qi Xiong and Xuan Bu were very solid and won easily. It may be that the two of them saw that they had been listed as the first object of attention, and they were too lazy to hide it.

Now, there are only five people left in the top 20 in the first odds list, and the three people who Lin Shi and the princess bet on have been eliminated.

Lin Shi originally had a glimmer of hope in his heart, thinking that these people might win, maybe they could earn dozens of taels, but now the hope was completely shattered.

Now, after the two rounds of elimination, there are only 150 people left, and there are more than 70 games.
