Volume 1 The Wind Rises Chapter 71 The old bustard does tricks
The last sixteen people, eight groups to fight!
Fortunately, Ying Jianxian and Qian Shaocheng did not meet at this time, otherwise it would not be possible to provoke Qian Shaocheng's emotions to the greatest extent until the most critical time, and it would be difficult for the plan to succeed.
The old bustard spent a lot of money to customize the Bafang Dragon Elephant Table, which came in handy at this time.
The crowd of onlookers immediately poured into the table, surrounded by water, and they were more concerned not about who won or lost, but whether they could win back the money they bet.
"Game on!"
With the old bustard's order, the gong struck, and the third round of autumn was in full swing.
Li Feibai stared at Ying Jianxian's cricket, and saw that it had a big head, thick legs, and straight tentacles, and was obviously extremely good at fighting, and it was the best among crickets.
I'm afraid that this cricket is worth no less than two ploughing oxen. Li Feibai measured it in his heart.
There were no surprises, and Ying Jianxian won easily here and advanced to the semi-finals.
And Qian Shaocheng was there, Lin Tianchong was holding a fine grain of dust in his hand, to be precise, it was a grain of dust, and it was impossible to distinguish it without looking closely at it.
If Qian Shaocheng's cricket was about to lose, Lin Tianchong used the dust in his hand to help him. With his cultivation, it was easy to do this.
Fortunately, Qian Shaocheng was quite competitive, and in the end he won without danger.
In the crowd, there was immediately a burst of boos.
"Alas, Young Master Ben has lost all his money today, so I won't play with you, so I will leave."
"I hid it from my father, and I advanced the expenses for the next month, and the two thousand taels were gone all at once, how can you let me live for these two months?" Some people are crying and grabbing the ground.
"It's just, it's so disappointing."
This group of bettors expressed their dissatisfaction, and then left the drunken red mansion, they didn't even have the money to talk to a girl, so naturally they wouldn't stay anymore.
There are only four people left in the field, namely Ying Jianxian, Qian Shaocheng, Zhou Li, and a man named Zhao Qiancheng.
"Mr. Bai, have you heard of this Zhao Qiancheng? It seems that it is rarely seen in Jinglin. Lin Tianchong walked up to Li Feibai and asked.
Shaking his head, Li Feibai said that he was not impressed.
"Don't worry about him, we just need to stare at Ying Jianxian and Qian Shao to achieve good."
"In the next round of battles, the bustard will draw lots, what if the two of them face each other in advance?" Lin Tianchong voiced his concerns.
"That's for sure." Li Feibai replied with a smile.
"Definitely? Why does the gentleman say that? ”
Before the opening, Zhou Li had already had a conflict with Qian Shaocheng, the old bustard is so calculating and understands business, he must make enough gimmicks in the finals in order to get the maximum benefits. Therefore, if the old bustard is allowed to draw lots, this round of battles must be Ying Jianxian vs. Qian Shaocheng, and Zhou Li vs. Zhao Qiancheng. If they win separately, then the final is Zhou Li vs. Qian Shaocheng, full of highlights, if there is another conflict, it will be better, in the next month, the entire Jinglin is probably talking about this matter, and the drunken red mansion unconsciously increased his reputation a lot, which is in line with the original intention of the old bustard to hold the Qiuxing competition. ”
Li Feibai explained, which made Lin Tianchong pause.
"Mr. Bai has insight into people's hearts and admires them."
Without replying, Li Feibai frowned slightly, thinking about how to deal with it in his heart.
The bustard twisted and slowly walked down the stairs.
At this time, Qian Shaocheng said cruel words to Zhou Li again: "It's best not to let me touch you in this round, otherwise you won't even be able to enter the final round." ”
"Indeed, I don't want to run into you in this round, because then I won't be able to see you fall short at the last moment." Zhou Li replied.
Qian Shaocheng couldn't help it again, and he was about to smash it with his fist.
"Alright, alright." The bustard also became impatient with Qian Shaocheng's temperament.
But she was secretly happy in her heart, and there were two upsets in the semi-finals, one was Ying Jianxian, the son of the waiter of the criminal department who stayed at home, and the other was Zhao Qiancheng, who was unknown and had never heard of in Jinglin.
The appearance of these two people out of thin air has already made the bustard's gambling market a lot of money.
"Two ancestors, see the truth on the battlefield, don't play tricks."
Qian Shaocheng is very familiar with the bustard, and he doesn't blame her for her attitude.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the next is the Qiuxing semi-finals, which will be held on this Bafang Dragon Elephant table, divided into two groups, in order to present a visual feast to everyone, the semi-finals will be held one after the other."
"Good!" In the crowd, thunderous applause erupted, and it was obvious that everyone was still unsatisfied.
In this way, there are still three games to watch, which is indeed a top-notch visual feast for those who love fighting cricket.
Then, the old bustard turned around, clenched his fists, and said loudly: "I have two chess pieces in my hand, one black and one white, and each person takes turns to draw them. If the first person draws a sunspot, and the second person draws a white seed, then the third person will draw it, and if he draws a sunspot, he will fight against the first person, and if he draws a white seed, he will fight against the second person, simple and fair, do you have any opinions? ”
After listening to the rules that the bustard said, everyone nodded one after another, and there was no objection.
But Li Feibai frowned, in this way, it is too simple for the bustard to cheat, as long as there is one person standing behind, when the second or third person draws, secretly replace the chess pieces in his hand, and he can decide who is fighting against whom.
Under the gaze of everyone, the old bustard took out two chess pieces, one black and one white, held them in his hand, and then put them behind his back to disrupt the position, stretched out his hand again, and asked, "Who will come first?" ”
"Me!" Qian Shaocheng rushed to the stage without hesitation and raised one of the bustard's hands at will.
"Kuroko!"
The old bustard opened his hand and let everyone take a look.
The next second person, if Zhou Li is on the field, then the old bustard must have two white seeds in his hands to avoid them meeting in advance.
And if it is one of Ying Jianxian or Zhao Qiancheng who goes up, then there must be two sunspots in her hands, because no matter who of these two people is against Qian Shaocheng, the old bustard can accept it.
Li Feibai's thoughts are just the opposite of the bustard.
He wanted to avoid Ying Jianxian and Qian Shaocheng meeting in advance, so if the second person who went up was Zhou Li, then Li Feibai hoped that he would draw a sunspot, so that Qian Shaocheng would fight against Zhou Li, and Ying Jianxian would fight against Zhao Qiancheng.
"The second person, who's coming?" The old bustard's eyes became nervous, and he looked at the other three.
"Zhou Li, aren't you shouting so much, go up?" Qian Shaocheng smiled contemptuously.
"Hmph, I won't go up, let the two of them smoke, lest others say that I'm afraid of you and I'm picking opponents."
This unexpected accident disrupted the bustard's calculations.
Originally, she felt that with the temperament of the two of them, no matter what they did, they would not be far behind, and since Qian Shaocheng came up to draw, Zhou Li should also come up, but she didn't expect him to give up.
