Chapter 20: Playing with Fire*

In the evening, the sun sets. The glorious afterglow gave the whole earth a dazzling flush. After a hard day's work, the people are tired and ready to go back to the camp to rest and sleep.

An leisurely but unusual, did not drop the bowl and cover his head to sleep as soon as he finished eating. Instead, he stood energetically at the fence of the ranch, shouting something passionately.

"Ten dollars to be a rich man, ten dollars to be a rich man! This is a rare opportunity, don't miss it! ”

His vigorous shouting immediately attracted the attention of the people passing by, and in a short time surrounded him.

No matter what era, wealth is always the object of people's pursuit, so as soon as it came up, some people went straight to the point and asked curiously: "How to be a rich man with ten cents?" ”

"Well...... "An leisurely smiled slightly, and took out a neat stack of neatly cut pieces of paper from behind him, "I want to look at this thing!" ”

The onlookers looked at a piece of paper that was exemplary in his hand. There were a few literate people who read it out on the spot: "I paid ten cents to buy a person to win the horse race." If the result is the same, Xiao An will pay the bonus at three times the amount paid, and if I can't guess correctly, I will voluntarily give up the right to ask for ten cents. Based on this, Tong Su is not bullied! ”

"What does that mean?" Someone asked incomprehensibly.

"To put it simply: you can buy the 'horse ticket' in my hand for ten cents a piece. Pick whoever attends the Jockey Club tomorrow to win! If I guess correctly, I'll give you back the money you gave me, multiplied by three times! For example, if you originally gave me ten yuan, then you guessed it, I will pay you back at thirty yuan. ”

"Wow! Are you sure!? Someone shouted excitedly on the spot. Then I'll buy one! ”

"Don't be busy," An Youran used his hand to block the ten cents handed by people one after another, "I will repeat the key point again: only if you guess correctly, you will have three times the money, and if you don't guess correctly, the ten cents will not be refunded." So it's not too late to think about it and buy it again. ”

"Aren't you a little too ruthless like this?" Hearing his words, someone in the crowd raised objections at that time, "Then didn't my ten cents go down the drain?!" ”

"You can't say that!" An smiled leisurely and said: "First, this money is taken from the people for the people, don't you need to pay if you win?" Second, this is a gamble in the first place, and it is only right to be willing to gamble and lose! That's why I reiterate again and again that I don't want to play if I don't want to play. If you're interested and want to participate, you might as well try your luck! After all, it is a one-to-three odds, if you buy more, if you are lucky, you may be careless to wear gold and silver! Wealth and danger are sought! ”

I don't know if it was because An Youran's words successfully persuaded the audience, or if the bonus of one to three was tempting enough, not only did all the people on the spot enthusiastically buy his self-made horse tickets, but even more spread ten, ten spread hundreds, and even the entourage of other camps rushed to buy them. So there is no suspense, An Youran naturally made a lot of money, and she couldn't close it happily with her mouth open! ”

A person counts the accounts in the tent with a happy heart, looks at the piles of money, and seems to have a beautiful image of the near future in front of An Ran's eyes, eating meat and drinking wine in a big bowl, being tired of being supported and being served, "It's really a good future!" He was so happy that he blurted out to himself.

"Is it a good thing, do you want a beating?" Shizi's cold voice suddenly sounded, without the slightest warning, which was enough to scare An Youran enough.

"Master...... Looking at Shizi dumbfounded, he stumbled and said, "It's not that the slaves are lazy, those horses ...... When the minions went to see it yesterday, they were all clean and their fur was bright, and there was really no need to clean it, so I didn't do it, I don't believe you can take a look at it yourself. ”

"Don't try to change the subject!" Luo Han appeared behind Shizi at the right time, his slender fingers pinching a piece of paper that fluttered lightly. "Can you explain to us why Li Yan and I are the bet on?"

With just a glance, An Youran could conclude that the piece of paper in Luo Han's hand was the 'An's Horse Ticket' issued by him, and he felt that the two of them exuded a rakshasa aura, and beads of sweat began to ooze from his nose, "This is ......"

Looking at the terrible cold light in Shizi's eyes, he suddenly had an idea, "It's a poll specially made by the minions!" ”

"Polls?" The two looked at An Youran at the same time puzzled.

"yes!" An nodded leisurely, "Didn't the slave say the wrong thing yesterday?" In order to make up for the mistakes of the minions and rebuild the prestige of the master, Xiao deliberately came up with this method of selling horse tickets to determine who is the most popular man in people's minds! ”

"You can really break it." Shizi's beautiful eyes were half-narrowed, and he made a wise conclusion.

"And the result?" Luo Han didn't care if what An Youran said was an excuse, but was very interested in the result, and he asked curiously, "Which person is the most popular?" ”

An Youran couldn't wait to divert their attention, so he chose to ignore the suspicion of the prince directly, and answered Luo Han's question directly, "The result is really incredible, the most popular and the highest support rate is Liu Kun, the Marquis of Zhongyuan, in fact, it is Liu Yuxin, the little marquis, and General Wang next...... The master is only in sixth place. ”

"It seems that Li Yan is really unlikable!" Luo Han was in a good mood when he heard this, and his face was full of spring breeze, "It seems that the people under the mountain still have vision!" ”

Seeing Luo Han's complacent appearance, An Youran was inexplicably disgusted in his heart, the corners of his lips turned up, and he smiled evilly, "I haven't finished my words yet, although the master is only ranked sixth, but Luo Gongzi has fallen out of the top ten, and he is the thirty-seventh at the bottom!" ”

"What!?" When Luo Han heard this, he was like a fried rooster, "Do you mean I'm the last one?!" ”

"Not really!" Seeing that Luo Han seemed to be relieved, he deliberately made a big turn: "Although it is not the last place, it is not much better!" There are a total of 39 people who participated, and your ranking is third, which can be regarded as a tanhua, but it is the countdown! ”

"Are you all blind here!?" Luo Han was so angry that his whole body trembled, "What is the strength of other people, I don't know!" But no matter how I think about it, I should be stronger than Li Yan! He pointed to the prince who was standing next to him watching the show, "This guy doesn't look like a man or a woman, compared to him, I can be regarded as heroic!" Why is it worse than Li Yan, who looks weak and untouchable!? ”

"This ......" Before An leisurely finished expressing his feelings, the son on the side took over the conversation.

"Luo Han, are you calling this a rush to spit out the truth? What do you mean by 'no man and no woman'?! ”

"Uh......" Seeing that Shizi Junxiu's eyebrows were wrinkled into the word 'Chuan', Luo Han also knew that he had lost his words and his life was not guaranteed, so he simply put his heart sideways and said chiseledly: "I'll tell you the truth, I think when you first came to Qingxi Valley, when the brothers saw you, they all thought that a fairy-like little junior sister had come. What I'm talking about is true!? ”

"Haha——!" Luo Han's words caused an easy laugh on the side, and while trying to control his emotions, he couldn't stop laughing and asked, "Master, is what Luo Han said true?" Are you really being treated like a little girl? Ha ha...... You're a wicked man, and you're killing both men and women! I don't know how many innocent boys' hearts were hurt at that time! Haha......"

An leisurely laughter infected Luo Han, and as soon as he swept away the previous haze, he also laughed along, and added with his eyebrows: "What's more! Even those who are jealous and sword each other are also very popular! So it's not just sad, it's also hurting your body! Ha ha...... What a curse! ”

The two of them burst into laughter, completely ignoring the fact that their faces had gone dark and they had lost the light of day. laughed until his legs became weak and fell to the ground, and Shizi said coldly: "Is it enough?" Think it's funny? ”

"To be honest...... An Youran and Luo Han looked at each other for a moment, and finally couldn't help but 'poof' and continued to laugh: "It's really funny." ”

"Good!" Shizi picked up An Youran's collar from the ground and threw it to the desk, "There are forty people participating in the competition now!" Fill in your own name! ”

"Master," An Youran panicked for a moment, "the slave can't ride a horse, and he can't win if he goes!" ”

"Who expects you to win!?" The beautiful eyes of the prince are light, and he is extremely evil.

"Why are the minions participating in this competition?!" An leisurely stared at him with wide eyes and incomprehension.

"Entertain the masses!" Shizi's glass-like eyes bent into a beautiful crescent shape, "Don't you like to laugh?" Now is your chance to make everyone laugh! ”

Approaching An Youran's frightened little face, he opened his bewitching thin lips and said in an elegant voice: "You don't know, my clumsy appearance and panicked expression on horseback are really unique together - that funny and interesting performance will definitely amaze the audience!" ”

"Master......" Looking at the resolute expression of the prince, An Youran wanted to cry as soon as his mouth was flattened.

"As for you—" Shizi turned to Luo Han, who was hiding next to him and was stealing fun, and said in a deep voice, "If the horse race results fall out of the third place tomorrow, I will repair a book to Master!" Tell him about your performance before and after this competition, and the consequences......" His chin was slightly raised to reveal a proud arc, "You should understand! ”

"Ahh ——" This time it was Luo Han's turn to be shocked, he jumped up from the ground and screamed loudly: "Li Yan, your trick is too vicious!" Master, if the old man knew that I had lost his face, he would not punish me for three years, but would also want me to stop the waterfall for three years! What's more, with his old man's temperament, he must know that he will make a big deal of publicity in the valley in the future. At that time, let the brothers and sisters know that I am so unpopular outside the valley, and I only have the third-to-last support rate, so I have to laugh at my belly! Didn't you make me shameless to see Jiangdong's father!? Are you trying to force me to kill myself to be happy!? ”

"Here's it." Listening to his words, the prince was not the slightest moved. With an expressionless face, he handed the long sword he was wearing in front of Luo Han, "I only recently asked the sword master to sharpen it, the sword blood seals the throat, clean and neat!" ”

"......" Luo Han gasped.

Ignoring the two people whose facial expressions had been painfully twisted together, Shizi turned around and said lightly: "We'll see you tomorrow, looking forward to your wonderful performance when we arrive!" ”

Seeing his figure disappear from sight like an immortal, An Youran and Luo Han looked at each other, and after a long time, the two had a tacit understanding and exclaimed at the same time: "What should I do!?" ”
