Chapter 811: Gambling on Stones
Su Wanqing looked away casually, pretending not to see Pei Xiu's gaze.
I don't know how recently, I always feel that this man has more and more potential to be a deep resentful woman, and he is jealous at every turn, and I don't know what kind of vinegar he eats.
Su Wanqing said that she was used to this. For such a gaze, it's okay to ignore it, if she takes it seriously, this man will only get more energetic, since that's the case, why bother.
What's more, this is not the right occasion to do these things.
Su Wanqing thought for a while, and cast a reassuring look at Pei Xiu, and then she opened her eyes.
Pei Xiu looked at Su Wanqing and coldly opened his eyes, a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes, his gaze fell on the blue-clothed young man, and there was a light of unknown meaning in his eyes.
The young man in blue always felt that there was a gaze falling on him, his gaze subconsciously searched, before meeting Pei Xiu's gaze, Pei Xiu had already looked away, and he looked at the other side casually.
A trace of doubt flashed in the young man in blue's heart, he looked at the man wearing the white mask, and always felt that Fang Cai's gaze came from his body, but now he looked over, but he didn't feel anything, the feeling of being observed had disappeared, and he had no way to verify it.
The young man in blue glanced at the white-masked man a few times, and then slowly withdrew his gaze.
At this time, Yi Zhao had already walked in front of the blue-clothed young man, picked up the stone he had chosen in front of him, nodded at him, and then placed it on the stone-cutting platform.
Everyone's eyes were immediately fixed on Yi Zhao's body.
Yi Zhao slowly took out the sharp long knife from his arms, and the people around him couldn't help but make a puzzled sound when they saw this.
"This knife looks so slender that it can really cut through stones?"
"Yes, it looks fragile, compared to this stone, but it's far behind, won't it be difficult to cut?"
"We'll see later, it's useless to guess here now."
"That's what I said......"
"I still think it's a little incredible."
Yi Zhao listened to the voices of the people around him, his brows furrowed almost invisibly, he raised his head, and happened to meet Su Wanqing's eyes, she raised her eyebrows at him.
Yi Zhao opened his eyes, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Thinking that his dignified Yi Gongzi would one day be reduced to Yi Rong becoming an ordinary man, standing here cutting stones, and being watched by so many people like a monkey. If he were to think about it, he would never have thought of such a thing.
But today, he did really stand here, and raised the long knife in his hand.
Yi Zhao glanced at the incomparably delicate stone in front of him, and couldn't help but spit in his heart, this young man in blue is quite good at giving himself trouble, this stone is so small, it takes more effort and thought to cut it.
However, these are hardly difficult for Yi Zhao. After all, his martial arts have long been superb, cut a stone, for a person like him, as long as he is careful, there will basically be no problems.
Otherwise, it was not him who was standing here at this moment, but Chu Yan.
That guy Chu Yan has always been very arrogant, and Wanqing was worried that he would not pay attention and cut the stone directly, so he simply let him come.
In Su Wanqing's words, he is more calm, while Chu Yan is more out-of-tant, so it would be better for him to do this matter.
The meaning of this is that he is saying that he thinks that Chu Yan is more prone to bad things, and he will not.
Therefore, Yi Zhao didn't think about it for too long, and had already agreed to Su Wanqing's request. When he came back to his senses, he felt that something was not quite right.
That's right, it's because he didn't think too much about it, and he felt that in Su Wanqing's eyes, it seemed that only he could complete it, so he would agree without thinking.
Now it seems that Her Royal Highness the Princess dug a hole for him to do such a thankless task. However, he chose to jump into this pit by himself, so he couldn't say anything about Su Wanqing.
Thinking of this, Yi Zhao sighed helplessly again in his heart, stabilized his mind, aimed his long sword at the stone, and slowly fell down.
The eyes of the people around him were all staring at Yi Zhao's hand, watching his movements, and they couldn't help but lift their hearts slightly.
Just when they felt that this long knife would inevitably be very laborious to cut the stone, they looked at Yi Zhao easily, like cutting tofu, and cut off a small part of the stone.
The eyes of the onlookers widened slightly, what did they see? Could this stone be a tofu block? Cut it off so easily?
But as that little stone fell, so did a thin layer of powder, and it was clear from this glance that it was indeed a real stone.
After all, how can there be powder in tofu dregs!
Therefore, this long knife is really very sharp, otherwise how could this stone be cut off so easily?
But there are also a few people who do not pay attention to the long knife, but to Yi Zhao, who is cutting stones.
Although this young man looks ordinary, he is tall, and although he can't say anything is wrong, he has a trace of calmness in his demeanor, which makes people believe in him from the bottom of their hearts. Even if it is the matter of cutting stones with a knife, it makes others feel that he will probably not fail if he does this thing.
It's such a strange feeling.
The young man in blue looked at Yi Zhao, who was calm and calm, and a trace of inquiry flashed in his eyes.
He was the first to notice Yi Zhao, not the long knife in his hand. For the young man in blue, that is, Gongzi Xie, this long knife is certainly extremely sharp, but in his eyes, what is more important is the person holding the knife. After all, if this person has mastered the skills and abilities, he will definitely be able to control the knife in his hand very well.
His instincts told him that this man looked ordinary, but he was definitely not an ordinary person, in every sense of the word.
Xie Gongzi has always trusted his instincts, and this time is no exception, although he has not found any clues for the time being, but his intuition is to make him feel that these people are not simple.
As for what the reason was, Gongzi Xie felt that he would slowly find out in the future.
After all, he has time, doesn't he?
Yi Zhao didn't know that he had been remembered by a man at this time, but if he knew, he wouldn't have cared. For Yi Zhao, there are only things he wants others to know, and things he doesn't want others to know, and there will never be anyone who knows.
This is so confident for Yi Zhao.
Yi Zhao didn't care what the people around him thought at this moment, he calmed down and looked at the stone in front of him, raised his long knife, and continued to move down.
The small stone, under Yi Zhao's operation, became smaller and smaller, and its body became thinner and thinner. Layers of stone powder fell around.
Don't look at Yi Zhao cutting so many times, but in fact, he only cuts so small pieces each time, like the size of a fingernail, but every time he is very serious, his eyes are fixed on the stone.
It is said that serious men are always the most handsome, even if Yi Zhao has a mediocre appearance that he can't find when he falls into the crowd, he still attracts the attention of many girls and aristocratic ladies.
The boys and brothers present at this time have never underestimated the matter of cutting stones, if they were to be replaced, they would never do such an action. Being able to use the long knife in your hand to cut so finely every time, and almost every time you cut it out is exactly the same size, such a skill is really rare!
They looked at it, and they couldn't help but feel a little awe in their hearts for this ordinary little guy. This kind of craftsman's spirit is not something that anyone can do casually.
At least, they feel like they can't do it.
How many years does it take to cultivate this to be so accurate?
But these sons didn't know that the real identity of this ordinary little guy they thought was the richest man in Lingzhou, and the craftsmanship they thought had been cultivated for many years only took a few hours. If they knew, I am afraid it would not be this expression a long time ago.
I'm afraid that my eyes will have to be scared off.
But at this time, many people's attention is still on the stone itself.
As the stone is cut open little by little, the scene inside is slowly revealed.
But at this time, everyone still saw stones, and there was no trace of jade.
Someone couldn't help but whisper, "This stone is so small, it doesn't feel like there's anything in it." ”
"yes, it's almost half cut, and it's still a stone inside, I think it might be out of play."
"It's safer to have a larger stone, so that at least there will be more chances of producing jade."
"I think so too...... What can be seen with such a small stone? ”
But these people just whispered a few words, and the voice was not very loud. After they finished speaking, they also subconsciously and cautiously glanced at Xie Gongzi, who was standing there straight, and glanced at each other, but they didn't say anything more.
Although they didn't have any contact with Gongzi Xie, Gongzi Xie's identity was there, and it was not something that others could easily provoke.
Xie Gongzi heard the whispers around him, but didn't look at them, just looked at Yi Zhao, more precisely, on the stone in his hand.
Although nearly half of the stone has been cut off, Xie Gongzi feels that all this is not over yet. He trusts his gaze and his instincts.
Yi Zhao glanced at Gongzi Xie, who was standing firmly in place, his expression did not change in the slightest, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
He lowered his head and cut the long knife in his hand steadily.
A faint glimmer of light came through.
