Volume 5 Absurd Southern Han Ninety-six, Doufu
The odds of the Tang "Snow Lion King" and the Northern Song Dynasty's "Purple Face King Majestic Sea" are: "Snow Lion King" ten to thirteen, "Purple Face King Majestic Sea" to eight out of ten, optimistic about the "Purple Face King" gamblers still account for the majority.
Although the "Snow Lion King" won three games in a row, he did not encounter the Insect King, and although the "Purple-faced Heavenly King Xiongkuohai" was a win and one loss in two battles, it was the Insect King "Tianbao General" who lost, and fought with the "Tianbao General" for a long time, although the defeat also caused a lot of trauma to the "Tianbao General", and laid the root cause for the "Tianbao General" to lose to the "Insect King Lu Bu".
An important reason why gamblers are optimistic about the "purple-faced king" is that yesterday's "purple-faced king" bit to death the amazing performance of the "little overlord Sun Ce", in the case of injury, the "purple-faced king" is still so brave is really surprising, the momentum can be compared with the insect king, therefore, the gamblers are betting on the "purple-faced king" to win, if it is not for Zhou Xuan's bet on the "snow lion king" nearly 20,000 taels of silver, then the odds will be very different.
But the result of this game was even more stunned, the "purple-faced king of the majestic sea" and yesterday's judgment were like two worms, completely devoid of the momentum of the high-grade general, and was knocked down by the "Snow Lion King" gritted the root of his teeth, and he didn't dare to open his teeth and lost.
The Snow Pig Prince has been watching the battle from the side, hoping that the "Purple-Faced Heavenly King" will win, so that he can propose an extra match between the "Insect King Lu Bu" and the "Snow Lion King", never expected the "Purple-faced Heavenly King" to lose so easily, the big white fat man shouted angrily: "This is a fake fight, this is a fake fight!" "Glaring at the Northern Song Dynasty Fighting Insect Envoy.
The Northern Song Dynasty Dou Insect Envoy and Yang Zongbao and others were also shocked, they didn't expect the "Purple-faced Heavenly King" to become so weak, but to say that they were fake Dou was really the wronged of the Heavenly King!
Zhou Xuan said: "Shopkeeper Liu, you said that this is a fake fight, is there any evidence?" β
The Snow Pig Prince said: "What evidence do you need for this!" You see that the 'purple-faced king' has no fighting spirit at all compared to yesterday, isn't this a fake fight? β
Zhou Xuan said with a smile: "This time, that time, the opponent is different, the fighting spirit is naturally different, for example, if you want to deal with an opponent who is much stronger than him and cannot be defeated at all, what fighting spirit do you say he can have?" β
The Snow Pig Prince glared at the mung bean and said, "Are you saying that the 'Snow Lion King' is much stronger than the 'Worm King Lu Bu'?" How is this possible, is the 'Snow Lion King' the Worm King? β
Zhou Xuan asked rhetorically: "How do you know that the 'Snow Lion King' is not the Worm King?" β
The Snow Pig Prince said: "If it is the insect king, can you dare to fight with the 'insect king Lu Bu' of this shopkeeper?" β
Zhou Xuan said: "There is nothing that I dare not fight, but not today, the insect war of the five countries has ended, and my Tang Kingdom is the champion, this is beyond doubt, of course, if Shopkeeper Liu makes a big bet and wants to let the 'Insect King Lu Bu' challenge me 'Snow Lion King', then I will not refuse." β
Prince Snow Pig looked at everyone present, knowing that he couldn't rely on it, and nodded: "Okay, if you fight again tomorrow, this shopkeeper will make an amazing bet." β
Zhou Xuan smiled slightly: "Let me state first, the 'Snow Lion King' will change its name and change its name to a resounding name." β
Prince Snow Pig asked, "What is your name?" β
Zhou Xuan looked at the fat head and big ears of the Snow Pig Prince, and said in his heart: "I didn't realize it before, but now that I think that the name of the Snow Lion King and your Snow Pig is too similar, this is simply an insult, and I have to change it." Said: "My Tang country, this cricket, won the championship with an undefeated record in the Five Kingdoms Insect War, but there is no name of the Three Kingdoms or the Sui and Tang Dynasty fierce generals, which seems incompatible with the name of the fierce insects of other countries, I now rename it 'Xifu Zhao King Li Yuanba', do you have any opinions?" β
Except for the Shu Song Dou Insect Envoy, no one else has an opinion.
The Snow Pig Prince said happily: "Very good, tomorrow I will watch the 'Xifu Zhao King Li Yuanba' battle against the 'Insect King Lu Bu'." ββ
Zhou Xuan said: "Then please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to announce the ranking of this Five Nations Insect War." β
Surrounded by a group of eunuchs, the Snow Pig Prince climbed to the top of the Yue Wang Terrace and announced the ranking of this year's Five Kingdoms Insect War, the first in the Tang Kingdom, the second in the Han Kingdom, the third in the Northern Song Dynasty, the fourth in Wu Yue, and the last in the Shu Song Dynasty.
The Northern Song Dynasty, Wu Yue, and Shu Song are all one win and three losses, but the Northern Song Dynasty lord and deputy generals are all there, of course, they are ranked high, Wu Yue and Shu Song's main general Cricket have been killed, and because Wu Yue's deputy general "Donglai Tai Shici" defeated the deputy general of Shu Song Dynasty "Jin Gong Qin Qiong", so Wu Yue ranked before Shu Song again.
The Shu Song Dou insect envoy really wanted to cry without tears, he brought the insect king "Tianbao General Yuwen Chengdu" here, ambitious and wanted to win, but he didn't expect to be at the bottom, he was really ashamed to see the father of Shu Mountain.
The Snow Pig Prince cherished and took out a one-foot square brocade box, saying that this was a reward for the leader of this insect battle, a rare treasure.
There are many treasures in the Southern Han Dynasty, Zhou Xuan is looking forward to it, he took the brocade box, held it above his head and greeted everyone in the audience, and then opened the brocade box with a smile, and was stunned for a moment-
Everyone in the audience held their breath and waited for Zhou Xuan to show this rare treasure, but they didn't see any movement for a long time, and they couldn't help whispering and discussing.
Zhou Xuan finally took the "rare treasure" out of the brocade box and asked the Snow Pig Prince: "Shopkeeper Liu, are you mistaken, this is really a treasure awarded to the champion of the Five Nations Insect War?" β
Prince Snow Pig said: "That's right, that's it-it seems that Officer Zhou doesn't know the benefits of this treasure, wait for the shopkeeper to tell you." As he spoke, he took the "rare treasure" from Zhou Xuan's hand, held it in his hand, and said loudly: "Fellow insect fighters, please see, this is the priceless prize of the insect battle champion." β
When everyone stared at it, it was a mask carved from coconut shells, and the knife work was fine, but it was not too much to say that it was rare!
I only heard the Snow Pig Prince say: "This rare treasure comes from the hands of my father, it took my father three days to carve it, and it is the only one in today's world, which can be called a priceless treasure." As he spoke, he handed the coconut shell mask back to Zhou Xuan.
Zhou Xuan scolded in his heart: "The champion of the insect battle will give me a broken coconut shell as a reward, damn it!" His eyes narrowed, he had already calculated, and said in surprise: "It turned out to be from the hand of the Han Emperor, and it is indeed a rare treasure!" Treasures should reflect the value in the sale, I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince often set up a stall in front of the palace gate to sell the treasures of the Han Emperor's imperial system, and I want to follow suit today, who bids high, this treasure belongs to whom, I put out the reserve price is 10,000 taels of silver, who is willing to buy? β
asked three times in a row, but no one in the audience answered.
Zhou Xuan frowned and said: "Could it be that the treasures of the Han Emperor's imperial system are unexpectedly unexpected, this is too shocking!" β
Prince Snow Pig waved his fist and yelled at the Southern Han bureaucrats in the audience: "Buy it quickly!" Buy now! Pointing to a royal doctor, he said, "Ye Feibai, you come and buy it." β
Ye Fei, the newly eunuch's imperial historian, took two steps tremblingly, raised his hand and said, "The lower official is willing to pay 10,000 taels of silver to buy the treasures of my emperor's imperial system." β
Zhou Xuan nodded and said, "Okay, this Lord Ye paid 10,000 taels of silver, and did anyone offer a higher price?" β
I asked three times in a row, but no one answered.
Zhou Xuan shook his head and said: "The treasures of the Han Emperor's imperial system are not actively purchased, which is really chilling-"
The Snow Pig Prince yelled: "Hurry up and fight for it, I want you to rob me." β
Then a Southern Han official shouted: "The lower official will pay 11,000 taels of silver." β
Imperial Doctor Ye Feibai thought to himself that I had already paid 10,000 taels, so it would be a pity to add another 2,000 taels, and shouted: "The lower official will pay 12,000 taels." β
"Thirteen thousand taels."
"Fourteen thousand taels."
β¦β¦
Zhou Xuan held the coconut shell mask and stood on the high platform with a smile, the emotions of the Southern Han officials under the stage have been fully mobilized at this time, you offer me to increase the price, you rob me, do not give in to each other, the atmosphere at the auction scene is extremely warm, this coconut shell has soared to 30,000 taels of silver, and the level of the Southern Han officials participating in the competition is also getting higher and higher, because the middle and lower-level officials cannot afford this price.
A round-faced and chubby Southern Han official called out the sky-high price of "35,000 taels", and another official hesitated for a moment and shouted "36,000 taels".
The round-faced and yellow-fat Southern Han official smiled contemptuously, disdaining such a one-thousand-tael, one-thousand-tael increment, and shouted: "Forty thousand taels!" β
The audience was shocked, and no one answered.
Zhou Xuan was still not satisfied, and was still shouting: "Forty thousand taels, very good, does anyone still increase the price?" I shouted three times, if no one raises the price, this treasure of the Han Emperor's imperial system will belong to this lord - dare to ask the lord his name? β
The round-faced and yellow-fat official bowed to Zhou Xuan: "Under Li Tuo, he is the waiter of the Yellow Gate." β
Zhou Xuanxin said: "Li Tuo, it turns out that he is Li Tuo, Li Tuo, the Huangmen squire who competes with Chen Yanshou and Fei Qing for the position of the inner master, this person's two daughters have entered the palace to serve Liu Jixing, one is a concubine, the other is a talented person, and he is really rich. Yaoyao raised his hand and said, "It turned out to be Li Huangmen, who has been looking up for a long time - has there been any bid higher than 40,000 taels?" Once--Is there a bid higher than 40,000 taels? Twiceβ"
Without waiting for Zhou Xuan to shout for the third time, Li Tuo waved his hand and said sharply: "Forty-five thousand taels!" "Good fellow, he puts a price on himself himself.
Now the audience is shocked, who dares to compete with Li Tuo for wealth?
Zhou Xuanlang said: "Please Li Huangmen come to the stage to receive this treasure." β
Li Tuo came up to the stage, first saluted the prince of the snow pig, and then respectfully held the coconut shell mask, bowed to Zhou Xuan and said: "Zhou Jungong, the silver will be sent to the pavilion where the county prince lives in the evening." β
Zhou Xuan said with a smile: "Congratulations to Li Huangmen for obtaining this treasure, His Majesty the Han Emperor will definitely be happy, this kind of rare treasure His Majesty the Han Emperor does not want to go abroad, Li Huangmen has made great contributions to the Han Kingdom to protect this treasure." β
