Chapter 81: Changes at the Food Festival (2)
When Xiang Zixi crossed into this world from the beginning, she immediately checked the general outline of this world.
The northernmost country is called the Silk Kingdom, located north of China, Mongolia and Russia, the dark country is located in China's Xinjiang, Tibet and Kazakhstan, and the Yao country where Xiang Zixi is located is basically in the Yellow River Basin, the area is relatively small, but because it is the most central location of the four countries, the military is the strongest of the four countries.
The Zhuoguo is located in the south of the Huai River Basin, across the Himalayas and the islands of Taiwan from east to west, and the Huai River Basin, the Yangtze River Basin and the Pearl River Basin, which are the most prosperous and rich places among the four countries.
Although this is an empty era, an era in which Chinese history has parted ways and rebranched since the Song Dynasty, the territory has not changed at all.
Therefore, Xiang Zixi quickly adapted to this world and understood this world.
When Mu Cifang mentioned that he was a small nobleman with a fief in the Zhuo Kingdom, and he was still at the disposal of Lin Muyang, Xiang Zixi and Shen Zhuangmeng took a long breath of cold air in their hearts.
It is said that Lin Muyang is rich and rivals the country, and his wealth is all over four countries, it seems that this sentence is definitely not groundless!
And when the man shouted loudly at the door, the votes of the audience were concentrated on himself, and after he heard Mu Cifang's words just now, Xiang Zixi suddenly understood!
That Lin Muyang actually used his own means to help himself win!
This guy!
"I see!" Shen Zhuangmeng's mouth couldn't close in surprise: "Zi Xi, that Lin Muyang, I really played with you!" ”
Xiang Zixi sighed softly helplessly: "Who rarely plays with him!" ”
"Hah! When other women hear this, they will definitely find a way to kill you! Shen Zhuangmeng shook his head exaggeratedly: "Don't you know Lin Muyang's status in the hearts of girls in the four countries?" Mrs. Lin, that is definitely more than the existence of the queen! You don't need to follow the rules of the palace, and you can enjoy the glory and wealth and status comparable to that of the queen. ”
"So what?" Xiang Zixi said lightly: "I'm not rare. ”
The eyes of the audience flickered, and they shot at Xiang Zixi again. If there is no suspense, then Xiang Zixi will have her name in the top three in this competition!
"I'm afraid Lin Muyang not only used his right to order himself and the players of his own country to give you all the votes, but I am afraid he also snatched a lot of places from the other three countries for you. Zi Xi, the top three of this year's food festival, there must be a place for us! Shen Zhuangmeng's eyes showed a hint of envy: "Sure enough, only Zi Xi has this charm!" ”
"But, Zhuang Meng, I don't know why, I always have a feeling of panic. It's as if you have a premonition that something is going to happen. Xiang Zixi was inexplicably flustered, and gently shook Shen Zhuangmeng's hand: "Whether this competition is a blessing or a curse, it's still hard to say." I always had a feeling like something was going to happen! ”
"Don't think about it! What could happen! This is the capital, and the final of the current game is the most critical moment. No one dares to make trouble at this time! You're just too nervous! It doesn't matter, the finals will last for ten days, and I will accompany you here for these ten days. Shen Zhuangmeng shook Xiang Zixi's wrist in encouragement: "According to the regulations, although you are not directly participating, you are the owner of the number, and you can meet with the chef to formulate a strategy in the evening, and it is not too late to react after we get effective and true information in the evening!" ”
At this time, Xiao Er bowed over, made a gesture at the two of them, and said: "Two young ladies, it's noon, the boss told the little one to come and tell the two young ladies, the guest room for rest is ready, do the two young ladies want to rest?" ”
"Thank you. Please lead the way for us! Shen Zhuangmeng dragged Xiang Zixi to stand up and followed Xiao Er out of his seat.
At the moment when the two of them got up to leave, several people also left their seats and followed them to the VIP lounge on the third floor.
Xiang Zixi stood in the guest room where the door had been opened, and couldn't help but praise, "This is the best room I've ever stayed in!" ”
"Thank you, Miss, for the compliment. This is a room specially prepared for the young lady! Xiao Er replied with a smile.
"It seems that Lin Muyang is really attentive to you! I would have prepared such a nice room for you! Shen Zhuangmeng couldn't help but sigh and said, "I'm also stained with it!" ”
Xiang Zi Xi glanced at Shen Zhuangmeng with disgust: "You Nizi! It's not like you don't know who the person I like in my heart is! And talk to me like that! ”
"Ahahahaha, yes, yes, there is an existence next to you that is not lost to Lin Muyang! In other words, I always feel that Jin Haoxuan is not simple, his bearing and his conversation are definitely not ordinary people! Shen Zhuangmeng said inadvertently: "Maybe it's also the young master of some aristocratic family!" ”
Xiang Zixi was stunned, yes, Jin Haoxuan's background, I'm afraid it's really not simple!
Soon, there was a knock at the door, and someone brought pastries and tea, respectfully placed them on the table and left.
Xiang Zixi picked up a piece of pastry and was about to put it in his mouth.
Suddenly, a white shadow flashed outside the window, and a dart rushed straight towards Zi Xi's front door!
Xiang Zixi was keenly aware of the fierce murderous cold wind, and he didn't care about stuffing the pastry in his mouth into his mouth, flipping his wrist slightly, and was just about to use the pastry in his hand to knock down the weapon shot by the opponent, but Xiang Zixi was surprised to find that it was too late.
The other party is so fast that he doesn't even have time to react!
Ding ———— dart passed through the pastry in Xiang Zixi's hand, shot through it fiercely, and instantly disappeared into the wall!
Xiang Zixi and Shen Zhuangmeng were stunned for a moment, and then quickly jumped away. Shen Zhuangmeng's reaction was slow, and he stood there stupidly, but Xiang Zixi rushed out of the window with an arrow step. Open the window and there's nothing outside!
If it weren't for the dart that sank into the wall, Xiang Zixi would have thought that he was dazzled!
"This ...... What's going on? Shen Zhuang looked at Xiang Zixi in a daze, and then looked at the pastry that was nailed into the wall by a dart, and couldn't help but shudder: "Why would someone do this to us?" ”
Xiang Zixi didn't care about anything else, and appeared again where the dart sank into the wall, and with a slight pull, he pulled out the dart, and by the way, he took the pastry that had not yet been entered and put it in the palm of his hand.
Xiang Zixi put the fast pastry under his nose and sniffed it gently, closed his eyes for a long time, and then said softly: "That person has no ill will towards me, he saved me!" ”
Shen Zhuangmeng's eyes widened suddenly: "What? ——————”
"He's reminding me that pastries are poisonous!" Xiang Zixi smiled bitterly and said, "Sure enough, my hunch is always so accurate!" At this food festival, I have become a public enemy of Xiang Zici! You think, if I die, won't there be one less rival in the top three? ”
Shen Zhuang was stunned: "How can this be!" ”
"It's normal. Isn't it? If no one had done anything to me, I would have been even more weird! Xiang Zixi shrugged his shoulders: "Anyway, this is a game that belongs to the nobles, if a commoner wins the victory, then most of those nobles' faces will not be able to hang up, right?" ”
"Huh? Ha! Xiang Zixi, you're not scared at all? Shen Zhuangmeng grabbed the pastries on the table and was about to go out.
"What are you going to do? Are you going to take this pastry out and settle accounts with the boss? I'm afraid that the person who came to deliver the pastries just now is not a person from the wine store at all! Xiang Zixi said lazily: "Forget it, let's wait and see." Maybe there will be more exciting plays in the future! Zhuang Meng, I'm afraid I'm going to hurt you this time! ”
Xiang Zixi smiled apologetically: "Otherwise, you might as well quit this game!" ”
"If you come, you will be safe!" Shen Zhuangmeng sat down in front of his seat again: "Since this competition is so exciting, how can I, Shen Zhuangmeng, be willing to miss it?" ”
Shen Zhuangmeng rushed at Xiang Zixi, and smiled mischievously like her, which immediately made Xiang Zixi look at her.
At this time, there was a knock outside the door: "Is Miss Xiang there?" ”
Xiang Zixi and Shen Zhuangmeng glanced at each other, and said to Zixi in a deep voice: "I'm here, please come in!" ”
The door was pushed open with a squeak, and a man wearing aristocratic clothes with a very happy expression stood at the door happily and said, "We are all playing gambling cards, is Miss Xiang interested in participating?" ”
Gambling cards? Xiang Zixi's eyebrows jumped, he hadn't played this for a long time! In my previous life, as a female thief, playing gambling is a compulsory subject!
Xiang Zixi glanced at Shen Zhuangmeng, and his eyes moved slightly. Well, since you want me to die so much, then I'll open my eyes to see how you let me die!
"Of course I'm interested." Xiang Zixi smiled brightly, dragged Shen Zhuangmeng's hand and walked to the door: "It's our honor that you can invite us to play cards!" ”
"That's just great! I'm afraid you'll be too scared to come! The man was even more elated: "I really didn't expect that Miss Xiang's courage is greater than that of men!" Sure enough, it's a woman who doesn't let her eyebrows go! ”
What do you mean?
Xiang Zixi and Shen Zhuangmeng went downstairs and came to a huge private room on the second floor, pondering what the man meant.
At this time, there were already more than a dozen people playing in the private room on the second floor, and when everyone saw Xiang Zixi taking Shen Zhuangmeng downstairs, they immediately showed a look of surprise and surprise on their faces. Even one person couldn't help but whisper: "Isn't it? How dare two women play such a terrifying game? ”
Terror? Isn't it a gambling game? How can gambling be terrifying?
The man who went downstairs to invite her to play cards with Xiang Zixi said with a smile: "Because this game is called the Game of Death!" Before playing this game, there is an allusion that I don't know if Miss Xiang knows? ”
"Hey! You've gone too far! A man said in a low voice: "They are just two little girls, why let them play such a bloody game?" Can't we play with you?" It was none other than Mu Ci who had greeted Zi Xi in the hall on the first floor.
