Chapter XXVI

On the square, the saint asked cautiously again, "Zhou Zheng, do you really want to give up this competition?" ”

Seeing Zhou Zheng's resolute eyes, the Holy Fang immediately understood Zhou Zheng's choice. He didn't wait for Zhou Zheng to answer, and asked Pushi and Long Fei directly, "What about you?" Is it to give up? Or do you want to participate in a competition? ”

"I'll give up too!" Pumice was the first to speak.

Pumice doesn't care if he is related to the Holy Snow Princess, his mission is only to marry the Holy Snow Princess back to the Kirin Clan. As long as the two clans marry and help each other, he doesn't care about fate or anything!

Therefore, he and Zhou Zheng had the same thoughts, and felt that risking their lives for the sake of a false name of fate was completely worth the loss!

The saint nodded. "Long Fei, what about you?"

Long Fei is indeed a little eager to try it now. Now, Zhou Zheng and Pushi have abstained, as long as they participate, won't they become the only winners?

He was about to open his mouth to say yes, but he saw the anxious look of the Holy Fang eagerly waiting for his answer. The feeling unnerved him.

Could there be some conspiracy in this? Long Fei began to think crankily again. He suddenly felt that the whole thing was not quite right. He can still understand Zhou Zheng's abstention, but what about pumice? Why did Pumice also abstain?

He suddenly realized that he had almost been deceived! It must be these people who have done a good job of making themselves jump into it! No way! You must not be fooled!

"Archmage," Long Fei asked deliberately calmly, "if I hadn't guessed the box correctly, would I still win?" ”

"Nope! You only win if you guess the box correctly! ”

"Then why did Zhou Zheng sentence him to win the last game?" Long Fei was not convinced!

Sheng Fang glanced at him coldly, "If you are not convinced, you can ask the general to take the stage again!" ”

One sentence blocked Long Fei so much that he couldn't say a word for a long time.

"Tell me, how did you choose? Participate? Is it participating? ”

The more the Holy Fang pressed Long Fei to participate, the more Long Fei shook his head like a rattle, "Abstain!" I also abstain! ”

The holy side is not revealed, and I finally breathe a sigh of relief in my heart.

He was really afraid that Long Fei, a kid who didn't know how to compete, would be disappointed by the princess's hard work.

"According to the rules of the event, if all three players abstain from this competition, this round of competition will immediately become mandatory. In other words, all three contestants must participate!

In view of the results of the first two rounds of the competition, Zhou Zheng has the right to choose the jade box first, or the power to specify when someone will choose.

In addition, although the poison of the sea market is highly poisonous, the poison applied to the three jade boxes has been diluted, and the toxicity has been greatly reduced, and the intensity has been weakened. At least for half a year, you won't be able to take the lives of three people. At most, the three of them were tortured for more than a month.

However, the old man promised that when the antidote was made, he would send someone to the three as soon as possible to ensure that the three of them would have no worries! ”

Hearing this, Long Fei stomped his foot in regret. I thought, Old Man Shengfang, did you say that earlier? If I had known this, I shouldn't have hesitated just now, and I should have readily agreed to participate alone!

In that way, even if you suffer a little, you will have a long face, and you may be treated differently by the princess! What a good thing!

It's a pity that it's too late to remember now!

Seeing that there was no objection, the Holy Party announced the start of the competition. He looked at Zhou Zheng first. "Zhou Zheng, which color jade box do you want to choose?"

"Holy Fang Archmage, you just said that I have the authority to designate when someone is chosen?"

"You're going to give up your first choice? Well, who are you going to appoint? ”

Long Fei immediately thought of himself. He has a grudge against Zhou Zheng, and taking this opportunity, Zhou Zheng will definitely take revenge on him!

"I designate, myself!"

Saint Fang and Pushi instantly understood what Zhou Zheng meant. The first person to pick the jade box seems to have an advantage in getting the right jade box, but in fact, according to the theory of probability, there are only more than 30 percent of the winning side, but there are more than 60 percent of the losing side.

And in second place, in fact, is the best position. Because, as long as it is not too unlucky, there is a 50% chance of winning or losing. It's better than the first person's odds of winning!

So why not come in third? Wouldn't that have a 100% chance of winning? However, don't forget that the first two contestants, either of whom gets the correct jade box, the third person is 100% lost.

This is almost equivalent to completely entrusting one's own destiny to someone else! No one is stupid enough to put themselves in the last place!

"Okay, I see, you're second." The Holy Fang has already begun to prepare for the next week.

"Archmage, it's not the second, I want the third."

"What?" The saint thought he had misheard, "You say it again?" ”

"Archmage, this competition is called fate! Fate is all predestined. Legend has it that the fate of heaven is destined, you just divide two people into the north and south of the world, and even reincarnate for several generations, the two can always break through the obstacles and finally come together! It should be their fate, and no one can break it up!

I really wanted to see if I had such a destiny with the princess, so I chose to be the last person! ”

"Zhou Zheng Zhenjun, it turns out that he is still a seed of infatuation, and my son admires it! I really hope that you and the Holy Snow Princess are destined for fate! However, I'm afraid you're empty of joy! Because, this son is the one who is destined to choose! ”

Long Fei laughed. He's not stupid either, knowing that second place is the best chance of winning. And, according to the order of who wins and who comes first, now, Zhou Zheng took the initiative to choose the third place, then he naturally occupied the best position, which almost made him jump proudly!

Zhou Zheng was too lazy to take care of Long Fei's self-righteousness.

The so-called destiny is naturally Zhou Zheng's blind fabrication to deceive everyone into believing it to be true, and it is also his helpless move.

From the moment he saw the purple jade box appear, Zhou Zheng's heart suddenly rose vigilantly. The purple jade box of the Holy Snow Palace, this is what the veiled woman Qin'er begged him to do, begging him to get the purple jade box, and then give it to her.

So what's in the purple jade box? Is it really just a mandarin duck bracelet? Zhou Zheng doesn't think so!

That qin'er, Zhou Zheng initially suspected that she was Tang Yun herself, no, it should be called Qingyun. Although the veil covers the face, there are seven or eight points of similarity in the body shape.

However, later, he completely denied his speculation, and affirmed that this girl named Qin'er was by no means Qingyun.

Why?

He and Qingyun were teenagers when they separated, and now five years have passed, and both of them have undergone earth-shaking changes. Just by getting along for a short time, you can detect that "it's not an old friend"? Isn't that a bit rash?

However, Zhou Zheng firmly believes that Qin'er is not Qingyun!

This judgment came from his intuition! And he trusted his instincts so much!

The first time Zhou Zheng chose to abstain, in his prediction, Pushi was calm and calm, and he would definitely choose to give up. Then, with Long Fei's character of taking advantage of small advantages, he will definitely be impatient to compete alone.

That way, you'll be able to avoid this trouble! Moreover, as a bystander, you can coldly watch who is moving around you, and then, follow the vine to find the culprit behind the scenes.

It's a pity that the Holy Fang is scheming, and he suddenly frightened Long Fei, so that now he has to participate in the competition, which is extremely passive!

Therefore, he had to come up with this trick, hoping that the purple jade box would be chosen first!

Finally, under the repeated confirmation of the Holy Fang, the order of the three people was arranged. The first one to pick is the pumice stone. He carefully observed the three jade boxes that were exactly the same in color, specification and shape, and then carefully chose the golden jade box.

Pushi put his hand on the jade box, and a wave of evil cold quickly spread throughout his body. Rao was prepared for a long time, or was he suddenly repelled by this sudden evil cold.

He quickly sealed all the vital parts of his body, and controlled the poisonous gases in his body as much as possible to forcibly suppress them.

Then, Pumice Stone put his hand on the jade box again. This time it was successfully opened.

However, the box was empty, and there was no mandarin duck bracelet.

Pumice was slightly disappointed. He stepped back and sat down cross-legged, trying to force the Evil Poison out of his body.

The second one to play was Long Fei, who was so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut.

Now, there are only two jade boxes left on the field, one is cyan, and the other is the purple jade box that Zhou Zheng is extremely afraid of.

Long Fei didn't know which jade box to choose, but he had a trick.

He seemed to be carefully observing the two jade boxes, but in fact, his eyes had already secretly aimed at Zhou Zheng in the candidate area. He's still using the old way!

Zhou Zheng was looking at the purple jade box, and there seemed to be a glimmer of brilliance in his eyes, which flashed instantly.

When he noticed that Long Fei was peeping at him, Zhou Zheng hurriedly locked his eyes on the cyan jade box, deliberately revealing a picture of this thing being true and aiming to win.

Long Fei smiled secretly, and did not rush to decide, but still observed the two jade boxes unhurriedly.

It's just that he will peek at Zhou Zheng very vaguely from time to time.

Zhou Zheng also became extremely cautious. Most of the time, the eyes float back and forth on the two jade boxes, and each one stays on it for exactly the same amount of time. Can't guess which one he likes?

However, the hard work paid off, and the careful Long Fei still found that as long as Zhou Zheng saw the purple jade box, his expression would have a trace of imperceptible stiffness. And when you turn to the cyan jade box, it becomes much more natural.

Sure enough, it's a purple jade box!

Long Fei, who was walking, suddenly stopped in front of the purple jade box and raised his hand to grab the purple jade box.

During this process, Long Fei kept observing Zhou Zheng.

Zhou Zheng seemed to be a little nervous, and seemed to have a sense of relief, anyway, his expression was weird, and he couldn't tell what the specific expression was.

Long Fei was overjoyed in his heart, knowing that he really chose the right one this time!

Just when his hands were less than an inch away from the purple jade box, he suddenly stopped, and a flash of lightning flashed in his mind!

Wrong! This is absolutely not right!

Zhou Zheng has been deceived twice by himself in the same way, is it true that this time he has not been long-hearted?

As the old saying goes, there can only be two more and more, and there can be no more and more and four!

Zhou Zheng is such a smart person, he has been fooled twice and suffered two losses, can he not have any precautions?

Besides, if Zhou Zheng was unwilling to let Long Fei see his intentions, he could look around like he was on the top of the North Mountain, and not look at the jade box. As long as Long Fei chooses the wrong one, he can win while lying down!

However, why didn't Zhou Zheng be so free and easy this time, and he had to stare at the purple jade box? Moreover, he also flipped three or four times to make Long Fei aware of his intention to like the purple jade box?

Could it be that this is deliberate by Zhou Zheng? He knew that Long Fei would repeat his old tricks, so he passed on the false information to Long Fei?

It must be so! All this is a trap set by Zhou Zheng for Long Fei!

Thinking of this, Long Fei broke out in a cold sweat!

He quickly took away the hand that was about to touch the purple jade box, and then put it on the cyan jade box next to him without hesitation!

Open it! Empty!

Long Fei was a little stupid on the spot! Is it because you are thinking too much? What Zhou Zheng likes is really the purple jade box?

Long Fei scratched his head in remorse! I can't wait to slap myself a few times on the spot!

However, when he looked up at Zhou Zheng, he found that Zhou Zheng's face was even uglier than him!

Long Fei didn't know why, so he could only hurriedly come to the side and sit cross-legged, like a pumice stone to dispel poison.

Zhou Zheng walked into the center of the venue, and thunderous cheers sounded on the viewing platform!

There is almost no need to compare this time, and the winner must be Zhou Zheng!

Zhou Zheng proved to everyone present that he was qualified to marry the Holy Snow Princess with three wins and three undisputed real strengths!

The holy party came to Zhou Zheng's side and first motioned for everyone to be quiet.

"Zhou Zheng, it stands to reason that you don't need to open the jade box, everyone knows that you are the winner. However, the process still needs to be walked. Please open the jade box, take out the princess's mandarin duck bracelet, and show it to the big guy. ”

Zhou Zheng was helpless, but he was not afraid!

Now that we've come this far, since it's time to come or come, let's face it calmly!

He walked slowly to the purple jade box, and was about to stretch out his hand, but was stopped by the maid on the side.

The maid first whispered to Zhou Zheng, and then replied to the Holy Fang, "Archmage, the princess said that if Zhou Zheng wants to open the box, he must answer a question to the princess. This is not within the scope of this competition, and it is not aimed at other people, so please ask the archmage to complete it! ”

"This," the holy fang laughed, "I can't be the master of this, and I still need the consent of the demon king!" ”

When everyone on the viewing platform heard that the princess was going to ask Zhou Zheng alone, their curiosity was instantly aroused, and they all wondered what kind of question the princess would ask?

Everyone unanimously petitioned the Demon King and asked the Demon King to agree.

At this point now, the recruitment competition has basically settled, and Zhou Zheng has no idea that he will become Qingji's fast son-in-law. At this time, Qingji is naturally willing to be an adult, and at the same time, he is also very curious, what childish words will he say between kissing children?

"Okay! I agree! Just ask! ”

"Thank you, Demon King!"

After the maid saluted, she bowed to Zhou Zhengying again.

"Childe, my princess wrote a word to Childe." As he spoke, he handed over a piece of paper. Zhou Zheng saw that there was a "two" above.

"Childe can understand what he means?"

Before Zhou Zheng could answer, the viewing platform was lively first.

"What word? What word? ”

Someone with good eyes saw it and said loudly, "It's two, one, two, three, four." ”

"Two? What does it mean? ”

"Nonsense, how do I know what it means?"

"I know, I know. In Taoism, one life is two, two is three, and three is everything. Second, it just happens to be the role of connecting the previous and the next! ”

"It seems to make a little bit of sense."

"Listen to his nonsense! The princess is married, not an apprentice, how can she talk about Taoism? ”

"Yes, yes!"

"You're right, you're right, who's right? Why don't you share your own opinion? ”

"Me? If I have an opinion, I still listen to your nonsense here? ”
