Chapter 104: Guessing (1)
In the middle of Shaanyang City and Dayuan City, there is a small city called Stone City.
This stone city does not belong to the city management of Shaanyang, nor does it belong to the jurisdiction of Dayuan City.
It is an independent city because it belonged to Prince Ji, the cousin of the Tang Emperor.
Today's Stone Town is very lively and crowded.
The match between Shaanyang City and Oyuan City was arranged here.
Invisibly, the flow of people in Stone Town has increased by three or four times.
The increase in the flow of people has driven the consumption of the city, which has generated a large amount of tax revenue.
So when Li Ming led people to Stone City, the city lord actually went to the west gate to greet him on behalf of Prince Ji.
The lord of the city gave a banquet to the delegates, including two parties.
When the representatives of the cities took the field, there was chaos in the stadium.
It should be said that there was chaos in the Shaanyang City team.
Because three of the representatives of Shaanyang City saw one of the representatives of Dayuan City, they immediately left Shaanyang City and went to Dayuan City.
Zhou Jielun asked the master of Shaanyang City to find out the reason for the matter.
It turned out that one of the representatives invited by Dayuan City was the strongest lantern fan in the Tang Kingdom, known as the king of lantern fans.
The king of lantern fans has experienced hundreds of lantern fan competitions and has never lost a single one.
If such a person participates in the team of Dayuan City, then Shaanyang City will definitely lose.
And when they met, they abandoned the Lord and surrendered to the three named disciples of the Lantern Fan King.
The master is on the other side, and his own side will lose, and as soon as the three of them think, they will rebel regardless of the loss of reputation.
You say that you will rebel, but shamelessly behind.
These three people were instructed by the lord of Dayuan City, and they even said that five more people in the Shaanyang City team rebelled.
A total of ten players participated in the competition in Shaanyang City.
After two defections, there were only two people in the representative team of Shaanyang City.
In addition to Jay Chou, there is also a middle-aged man.
Li Ming took the man's hand very gratefully, thanking him for not leaving.
The man was embarrassed to say that he was not a master of guessing, and that they had pulled him over in the first place, in order to beat the number of people.
Like him, there are two more people who are full.
But the two defected together, leaving him alone.
He didn't stay to help Li Ming, and he didn't have the ability to contribute.
Because his home was in Shaanyang City, he was afraid that Li Ming would kill his family in a fit of rage.
The weight of the city lord, killing a dozen people, is a piece of cake.
Li Ming waved his hand and let the full man leave Stone City.
The wine banquet in Stone Town broke up unhappily, and Li Ming returned to the station with the only remaining representative, Zhou Jielun.
Li Ming, who did not drink during the banquet, drank heavily when he returned.
Zhou Jielun persuaded: "Senior brother, even if they stay, they won't help you, and in turn, they will deliberately lose." So it's good that they get out. ”
Li Ming drank another glass of wine: "I know, it's just that I'm panicking." ”
Jay Chou knew Li Ming's feelings, and being betrayed by others was a pain in every high-ranking official.
Even if it is a small person who betrays, let alone win or lose such a big game.
"Senior brother, how did we win this game, then the people of the world will not laugh at you, but will only laugh at the city lord of Ohara City, who will take all the rotten fish and meat. ”
After listening to Jay Chou's words, the flames of battle ignited in Li Ming's eyes again.
"Senior brother, are you sure?"
On the way back, Jay Chou has investigated and analyzed the king of lantern fans.
"I can't say I'm 100 percent sure now, but I'm still 50 percent sure, and the person who wants to pretend to be on my hands hasn't been born yet. ”
"Okay, our brothers and sisters go to fight together, don't win, as long as they don't win well, it will be our victory. You can block the mouths of people all over the world. ”
Li Ming's previous emotions flew out of the clouds, and now he is like a rooster full of fighting spirit.
In these two hours, the object of people's discussion is Li Ming.
No one said that those defectors shouldn't be, originally, those who know the times are handsome!
More people pity Li Minglai, who doesn't know people and brings trouble.
During unitary time, the game will continue as usual.
Everyone thought that Li Ming would admit defeat, but Li Ming continued to fight.
The venue of the competition is the million-seat square in Stone Town.
Three platforms have been erected in the square, in the shape of a triangle.
There is a platform for each side of the game, Prince Ji and other landlords and two city lords, as well as referees occupy the main platform.
"Hairless little, get off the stage!"
On the platform of Ohara Castle, several traitors were shouting.
Jay Chou looked up at the sky, as if he hadn't heard their wolf howl.
In the face of absolute strength, all ghosts crying wolves are scum.
Jay Chou noticed that there were so many people.
The square for a million people is already full, no less than a million people.
Jay Chou knows that all those who enter the square must pay a viewing fee of five taels of silver.
With this ticket revenue alone, Stone Town earned more than five million taels of silver.
In addition, the taxes and fees incurred by these people in Stone Town and accommodation were not less than five million taels of silver, and the combined income of the two was ten million taels of silver.
Under normal circumstances, the tax revenue of Stone Town does not exceed one million taels of silver a year.
The income from this event can be used to offset the income of Stone Town for ten years.
No wonder the court is so keen on the game between the two cities, the game doesn't matter, the key is silver.
They don't care about the game, but Jay Chou doesn't think like that, and Li Ming doesn't think like that.
And the people of Ohara Castle also want to win this competition and let Li Ming export three million silver.
After Prince Ki's speech, the competition was announced.
Contestants from both sides take the stage.
The platform of Ohara Castle was crowded with nearly twenty people, and the wooden platform was almost unbearable.
And on the stage of Shaanyang City, Zhou Jielun is alone.
"It's so spacious!" As soon as Zhou Jielun came to the stage, he popped out a sentence.
"Haha, this fool!" everyone in the audience laughed.
Who likes to be spacious and doesn't like a lot of participants?
"Li Ming, you're a bit of a contestant. Prince Ji couldn't help but laugh.
Li Ming said with a smile: "This is my junior brother, he is such a character. ”
"What about the 'Xi'an Martial Academy'? Is it difficult to guess that a knife is used instead of a mouth. Wang Dynasty said endlessly.
Prince Ji: "I haven't heard that there are lantern fans in the 'Xi'an Martial Academy'?"
The group of people who followed Prince Ji also nodded yes.
At this time, the host announced the rules of the competition.
There is a pole on the side of the competition platform, which is used to hang lanterns.
Whichever side should write the puzzle on a red cloth, and then tie the red cloth to the lantern.
When the lantern is raised, it means that the question is solved.
There are two fair-handed charmers standing under the pole, who will read the questions of the lantern fans to the audience, so that the guessers on the opposing stage will know, and the audience will know.
Once the rules are announced, it's time to be the first.
Competing for the first hand is to be the first to solve the problem, which has the advantage of stumping the opponent at the beginning, and letting the opponent lose the first game, it is a good start.
The judgment of the first hand is the draw, who draws one, and who just shoots first.
And the people vying for the lead are the two city lords.
The host holds a bamboo tube with both hands, and there are two sticks in the bamboo tube.
Li Ming and Wang Chao started grabbing bamboo sticks after hearing the starting prompt.
Li Ming's skills were superior and he grabbed a bamboo stick first.
But when I picked it up and looked at it, I couldn't help but sigh.
The bamboo stick that Li Ming grabbed first turned out to be a two-word word.
The dynasty happily waved a bamboo stick with a word written on it, and the people on the stage at Ohara Castle cheered loudly, as if they had won.
Zhou Jielun cast a no-problem look at his senior brother, and then moved two chairs, put together a recliner, and lay down comfortably.
"Indeed, who is this! Pretending to be forced on the playing field, this will not take the world's pretending heroes out of sight!" The audience heard reprimands one after another......
