Chapter 70: The Gambling Contract
The Ling family held two competitions in the morning, and the next two competitions were to be held in the afternoon.
There is an intermission of one and a half hours for all guests to eat.
Ling Zifeng's victory over Ling Hao with one move quickly swept through the entire Ling family like a headwind, and almost everyone was discussing the battle that had just ended.
Ling's canteen.
Ling Cheng unhurriedly made a plate of food, and the girl followed closely behind him, and the two walked together, so that the eyes of the guests who came were straight, and the two were indeed quite compatible, like a pair made in heaven, and a pair was set on the ground, so that the people who passed by them looked back unconsciously, and their eyes were full of essence.
Walking to the center of the cafeteria, the young man looked around, and after a while, he seemed to see Ling Zifeng who was eating, and walked over slowly.
Originally, as his young patriarch, he didn't have to dine with these people at all, but there were too many people who came to watch the Ling family comparison today, in order to show the spirit of his Ling family, the Ling family also did his best to entertain everyone with the friendship of the landlord, although there are many people dining today, and everyone has added a chicken leg to their meals.
Ling Cheng walked up to Ling Zifeng.
"Hey!" Ling Cheng patted Ling Zifeng on the shoulder.
"You're here," Ling Zifeng put down the chopsticks in his hand and said with a smile to the two.
"You seem to have known we were coming," Ling Cheng said softly.
Ling Zifeng looked at Ling Cheng, in that voice, there was no hostility at all, it was a strange sense of intimacy, as long as he was a very good friend, Ling Cheng would use this tone to talk to him, compared to Ling Hao's kind of oppression and contempt, this is simply a world of difference, this feeling of being trusted makes people desire, in fact, he already knew that Ling Cheng was coming, because he knew that Ling Hao was beaten down by a move, and Ling Xiu, as Ling Hao's greatness, would inevitably show up, so Ling Cheng would definitely come over at this time.
Ling Zifeng was silent.
Ling Cheng and Ling Shan sat down at the same table as him.
"You played well today," Ling Cheng praised, "and finally let out a bad breath."
"Hahahaha," both laughed at the same time.
Ling Shanmei looked at Ling Zifeng carefully, and in his voice, he heard a different feeling of refreshment, a feeling of relief, as if he had been reborn.
"Then it's your turn to play," Ling Zifeng stopped and said.
"Well, don't worry, it's not a big problem," Ling Cheng said nonchalantly.
"Hmm-" Ling Zifeng responded, he believed that with his talent, his background, and his strength, Ling Cheng could definitely do what he said, a small master writer, and he couldn't do anything about Ling Cheng.
"Eh, why don't you eat it?" Ling Cheng pointed to the chicken leg in Ling Zifeng's plate.
"Eh, I want to take it back and leave it for my grandfather to eat" Ling Zifeng was a little embarrassed, after all, his family was poor, and he really couldn't raise his head in front of these nobles.
"It turned out to be reserved for Uncle Ling!" Ling Cheng and Ling Shan glanced at each other.
"Take this one of mine with you!" Ling Cheng took the chicken leg from his bowl and put it on Ling Zifeng's plate.
"Ling Cheng, you are ......," Ling Zifeng excused.
Just as the two of them shirked, Ling Shan, who was sitting upright, gave the chicken leg in his bowl to Ling Zifeng.
"Okay, you're welcome, say hello to Uncle Ling for me when the time comes" Ling Cheng couldn't stop and Ling Zifeng asked him to sit back in his seat and said.
"Besides......" Just as Ling Cheng spoke, the girl who was sitting upright took out a large paper bag from her arms and handed it to Ling Cheng.
"This is for you" The paper bag in Ling Zifeng's hand was stuffed to Ling Zifeng.
"What is this?" Ling Zifeng asked.
"This is some good tonic, let's give it to your grandfather when I go back!" Ling Cheng explained unhurriedly.
"How can this be done?" Ling Zifeng said unhappily.
"It's all brothers, you're welcome," Ling Cheng said.
"Zifeng, just take it!" Ling Shan said in a beautiful voice.
"You see, even Shan'er said it," Ling Cheng said to Ling Shan.
He knew that this was deliberate by Ling Cheng, he had already helped himself a lot, thinking that if it weren't for him, he and his grandfather would have died a long time ago, and the former boy had the grace of reinvention for him.
Seeing Ling Zifeng accept it, Ling Cheng nodded with satisfaction. In fact, he knew early on that if he did this, Ling Zifeng would not accept it, but he had to do it, because Ling Hao did something, although it didn't make a big fuss, but Ling Hao was a member of his Ling family after all, and his Ling family also had part of the responsibility. And Ling Cheng, as the young patriarch of the Ling family, the future patriarch, and the leader of the Ling family, must not do anything, he must deal with it well, in the name of the Ling family.
"Then I'll take it, thank you Ling Cheng, for helping me so much" Ling Zifeng hugged the paper bag tightly in his arms, as if he was holding his own life.
"In the future, you will be annoying, you can use my place, I Ling Zifeng, I will not hesitate to go to the soup and fight the fire" Ling Zifeng saluted to Ling Cheng, this is completely a courtesy that only respected elders have!
"Zifeng, why is this?" Ling Cheng helped Ling Zifeng up with both hands.
"Let's not talk about that, let's talk about what to do this afternoon, shall we?" Ling Cheng changed the subject.
At this moment, Ling Xiu took Ling Hao and his party, Ling Cheng and the three walked by, the menacing appearance made people look at it, and they didn't have a good feeling, take a closer look, that Ling Hao's body was still long, and he also had a long bandage, but he didn't expect it to be broken.
"Hmph-it's really from a low position, a poor sour image!" Ling Xiu looked at the paper bag in Ling Zifeng's arms, he had always had a keen sense of smell, he only needed to take a deep breath to smell the strong smell of herbs, and then looked at the three chicken thighs in Ling Zifeng's tray.
Ling Xiu cast a look of disdain alone, but Ling Hao's eyes were even more terrifying, his eyes were like jackals.
As a young patriarch and the heir of the next patriarch, Ling Cheng can't do anything with him. The daughter of Chief Ling Shan's family is recognized as a goddess and her favorite girl, and she can't take advantage of him. That mood is very unhappy, his younger brother was beaten to a fracture, I can only blame Ling Zifeng for being unlucky, who told you to have a background without a background?
"What a shame!" Ling Xiu walked towards the door with a staggering voice, raising his voice to deliberately make everyone present hear.
Ling Zifeng's palms were pressed against the tabletop, his fists creaked, his teeth were clenched together, the green tendons on his forehead were rising, he was angry to the extreme, but his strength was not enough, he was not Ling Xiu's opponent at all, and Ling Xiu's background was even more terrifying, offending him was probably more terrible than offending Ling Hao, one Ling Hao could make his grandfather almost die, and one Ling Xiu was afraid ......
Ling Shan was just about to stand up, the little witch was about to have a seizure, she really couldn't bear it, Ling Xiu deceived people too much, my personality has always been hot, how could he endure it? Ling Cheng pulled Ling Shan to sit down, he couldn't let his sister become a little witch at this time, there were so many people present, if he had a seizure in public, it would not be good.
"You, stop for me," Ling Cheng said in a cold tone, causing the temperature around him to drop a lot, and the people sitting at their table to eat suddenly retreated.
"Ling Cheng, you ......," Ling Zifeng said with concern.
Ling Cheng gestured with his hand to indicate that it was okay.
These are the two head snakes of the Ling family, and if they are drunk, everyone will die.
"What are you looking for me?" Ling Xiu turned his head and asked, his voice had no warmth at all, it was obvious that they were both geniuses of the Ling family, those two were like two tigers on the same mountain, and one of the two tigers would die if they fought each other.
"What do you want?" Ling Xiuguang asked as he looked at Ling Cheng with a burning look.
"Why don't we make a bet?" Ling Cheng turned slowly.
"Bet, it's kind of interesting," Ling Xiu muttered to himself.
"What do you want to bet on?" Ling Xiu waved his hand and asked.
"You should know that the clan comparison is going on at the end, and the attacker should be chosen from the two of us," Ling Cheng said lightly, although the clan comparison had not been carried out, as if everything was already known.
Whispers began to begin.
"Who is this man?"
"There are so many geniuses in the Ling family, what he says is what he says?"
"He's the first day next door!"
......
"Let's bet on who will be the last attacker," Ling Cheng said in a tenacious tone, with an indescribable openness and refreshment.
"If I win, you will never embarrass my brother from now on, and those things that Ling Hao did" Ling Cheng paused here, originally wanted to shake out Ling Hao's matter directly, but in the end he didn't say it, it was not only the face of the Ling family that was lost when he said it, but also the face of his Ling family, "You still have to compensate, 100,000 gold coins."
......
"Ahh......h
"The Ling family is really wealthy"
"These two are crazy, aren't they?"
......
"What if you lose?" Ling Xiu suppressed the surprise in his heart and asked, if he wanted to involve himself in the bet, then Ling Cheng would definitely make a bet that he was satisfied with, otherwise he would have to listen to it.
"If I lose, I won't participate in the competition for the team leader, and you Ling Xiu can also have one less competitor, how about it?" Ling Cheng stretched out his hand and pointed directly at Ling Xiu, and said in one breath.
......
"I heard you right, they're going to ......"
"Is this Ling Cheng really crazy?"
......
Ling Hao looked at Ling Cheng with his eyes, he couldn't imagine that for the sake of a Ling Zifeng, where was it worth him to do this, not to mention, it would be too unwise to use the position of the patriarch as a bet.
"Ling Cheng, it must not be like this" Ling Zifeng stopped in front of Ling Yuan.
Ling Xiu and his party were all dumbfounded, but only Ling Xiu maintained an indifferent expression, and there was already a wave in his heart.
"Stand aside for me, there's no place for you to talk here" The vitality mixed in Ling Xiu's voice shook Ling Zifeng who was blocking in front of him.
"Okay-I'll bet with you" Ling Xiu stood in front of Ling Yuan, his eyes looked at each other, there seemed to be a flame burning in his eyes, and when the two looked at each other, they seemed to be able to smell a strong smell of gunpowder.
"Hmph-" Ling Xiu snorted and walked out with a group of followers.
"Scattered," Ling Cheng waved his hand at the crowd around him.
The crowd dispersed.
"Ling Yuan, how can you make such a bet with others?" Ling Zifeng felt that Lin Yu was a little invisible, how could he, who had always been calm, make such a bet, and his heart was suddenly very anxious, if Ling Cheng lost the qualification to compete for the patriarch, then the matter would probably be even worse.
"Brother, are you sure you can win him?" Ling Shan asked with concern.
"I have my own measure......"
