Outside the Miaoyin Pavilion, a young woman with a hidden face appeared one after another holding a pipa, a guqin and a qin zheng. She bowed and bowed before sitting down. Immediately afterwards, the jade fingers curved and slid along with the rhythm, sometimes calm and soothing, sometimes exciting and high-pitched!
Each string trembled and turned into an ear-splitting note, echoing slowly throughout the strange night sky filled with sunset, unknowingly affecting the emotions of everyone present. The next moment, everyone closed their eyes in tacit agreement and listened quietly...
I don’t know how long it took, but all the sounds stopped, and there was a deathly silence all around. Everyone with their eyes closed looked intoxicated.
"The song is over, but the meaning is still unfinished. It deserves to be called Miaoyin Pavilion!" Feng Ling praised sincerely. Hearing this, everyone else slowly came to their senses. At Madam Xu's signal, a pretty host woman quickly suppressed the strangeness in her heart and stepped forward to pick off a small lantern the size of a fist.
"Yeah, cough~!" Their eyes were fixed on the young woman who slowly took off the note and looked at it carefully. Many people coughed and cleared their throats seriously, but they felt a little impatient in their hearts. After waiting for more than ten seconds, The Q&A finally started.
"Add a new one to the family, guess a word?"
"Hao~!"
"Congratulations on getting the correct answer and getting a lantern!"
As she spoke, the young woman smiled and threw the delicate little lantern in her hand to the crowd. The honest man who had just started to answer stretched out his hands and caught it with a smile, as if he had picked up a treasure. .
"Wang Tiezhu, how did you guess it?" The others pretended to ask, feeling envious and secretly saying: "This guy's reaction is too fast!"
"I don't know either! My family is poor, and my mother only gave birth to me. I thought, usually the people who add children are wealthy families, so I answered randomly!" Wang Tiezhu scratched his head in embarrassment, holding the lantern and feeling very embarrassed. .
"Oh my God~! Is this okay?" Everyone who heard this felt like they were struck by lightning, and they cursed crazily in their hearts. They sneered and sneered: "It's true... fools are blessed!"
"Turns into gold, guess a word?" The woman seemed to have no intention of leaving everyone time to think, and once again read out the note she had just taken off the new lantern.
"The answer is: "all"~!" The annoyingly honest voice sounded again, and many people snorted coldly, waiting with disdain for the person to embarrass him and deduct points.
"Congratulations~!" A trace of surprise flashed in the woman's beautiful eyes, and she threw the small lantern in her hand blankly. Everyone stared at Wang Tiezhu who smiled after taking the lantern, feeling that they had been fooled.
"Hi~! We were fooled. This guy is deliberately playing tricks on us!" After reacting, everyone was furious. They ignored Wang Tiezhu who started bragging again and turned to look attentively at Wang Tiezhu who had taken down the third lantern. Young woman.
"Hmph~! Not taking the bait? No, I must get the first place. As long as I have the one hundred taels of gold and cure my mother's illness, my mother and I can live a good life!" A flash of light flashed in Wang Tiezhu's eyes. Struggling, thinking silently in his heart, he must win first place.
"There are mountains on all sides, and the mountains are all connected. Guess a word?"
"Tian~...!"
"If you want to plant flowers and weed, each person has to cut the weeds. Guess a word?"
"Hua~...!"
"January 1st, not today. Guess a word?"
"Ming~...!"
...
"Congratulations~!"
"Congratulations~!"
"Congratulations~!"
.......
"Okay~! The first round of guessing lantern riddles is over. A total of fifty-two people have been eliminated. The remaining ten people will be eligible to enter the second round. Everyone applauds and congratulates!" As the twenty-three lanterns were sent out, Madam Xu immediately stepped forward and shouted Shouting, there was continuous applause and cheers from below.
Regardless of the hundreds of people present, most of them were actually just having fun, so naturally they would not be hostile to those who qualified. At most, they would be agitated and jealous.
"Tch~! What's the matter with us? It's really boring, just messing around!" Wang Tao was very dissatisfied. He had been sitting here for a long time, just watching others get excited, but he hadn't even gotten a lantern yet. Don't blame this arrogant guy for being angry, he was always suppressing it so as not to explode.
"Tsk tsk~! I have misjudged Wang Tiezhu, he is a good seed player!" Feng Ling secretly admired Wang Tiezhu who became the third place in the first round after getting five lanterns. In fact, he was just watching the fun, just pretending, not serious, at most he would occasionally answer a few questions when it was his turn.
Just kidding, would a person who could become the God of Assassination have poor intelligence? As for the reaction ability, just saying it can scare these smug answerers to death. Ahem~! Let me tell you behind Feng Ling’s back that in his previous life, this guy was out and about, and he ranked solely based on his hand speed...!
"Brother Wang Xian, don't be upset, isn't it coming to us soon?" Zhang Yi was slightly angry in his heart, but smiled gently on the surface, and added confidently: "Don't forget that we have lost twenty-three lanterns, ten people on average. , there are only two or three more of us. Besides, those who answered incorrectly just now had a lot of money confiscated!"
"Brother Zhang is right~! Brother Tao is rude." Wang Tao was overjoyed when he heard this. He sat upright and bowed his hands to Zhang Yi to apologize. Wang Tao didn't deliberately suppress his voice just now, so his words were naturally ignored by the five wealthy people in the VIP table. The giant merchant heard this clearly.
"It's okay, just pay attention a little bit!" Zhang Yi reminded in a low voice, his expression changed slightly and calmed down. Wang Tao's words and deeds made Zhang Yi somewhat lose face. After all, people are brought by themselves.
"The next round of guessing lantern riddles will be carried out. The difficulty of the riddles will be doubled! Including the ten distinguished guests present at the VIP table, there will be a total of twenty riddle guessers. Please be prepared!" Under Madam Xu's nod, more than twenty people watched quietly. The young woman once again played the music of nature, which once again made everyone ecstatic and in a state of ecstasy! So much so that when the second round began, no one paid attention to the woman reaching for the lamp.
"One big and two small, guess the word?" A crisp voice sounded across the audience, and the audience was completely silent. They were still dead crows with their eyes closed!
"First...Second child, guess...one word!?" The young woman's pretty face turned slightly red. She looked at these old men awkwardly and reminded her again and again with some sullenness. Awakened everyone.
"Jiang~!" A handsome man who came to his senses was the first to answer excitedly, looking very proud of himself.
"What are you looking at? Bumpkin! Worship me, worship me, haha~!" Wang Tao glared disdainfully at Wang Tiezhu who was hesitant to speak, and said proudly in his heart: "Finally let out a bad breath, let you guys before It’s so cool to answer the question. With me here this time, you won’t be able to score as easily as before!”
"It's "Nai", right... but there's obviously another "two"?" Wang Tiezhu muttered in a low voice, full of doubts in his heart.
"What are you talking about? I think you are a second-rate person! A second-rate person...!" Wang Tao stood up arrogantly and pointed angrily at Wang Tiezhu, who had already sat in the front row. His insulting words were full of provocation.
"You...!" Wang Tiezhu was furious, his eyes were red, and he wanted to go forward and fight Wang Tao. But helplessly, the other party is a truly powerful person. Although he has been wronged, he can only swallow it, break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach!
"What are you doing? Come and beat me up if you don't agree with me!" Wang Tao looked very disdainful when he found out that the opponent was only at rank five.
"Stupid~!" Feng Ling said calmly and gave Wang Tao a roll of his eyes. The guy was so angry that he turned his head and cast a murderous look at Feng Ling.
"Third Senior Brother, please calm down! Brother Zhang has always had a gloomy face from the beginning to now!" Hu Mei'er and Li Si, who were sitting close to the seats, also felt that Wang Tao had gone too far this time, and hurriedly whispered in secret to remind him.
After hearing this, Wang Tao remembered that Zhang Yi was still sitting next to him without saying a word, and his heart couldn't help but thump.
"Miss Miaoxuan hasn't announced the answer yet, it's too early to draw a conclusion!" Zhang Yi glanced at Wang Tao with a cold look in his eyes, who subconsciously trembled in his heart and sat back knowingly.
"Hoo~...!" After getting Zhang Yi's nod, the woman named Miaoxuan breathed a sigh of relief. She had been hesitating before about how to deal with this matter.
After all, Wang Tao was brought by the young city lord. If he didn't operate behind the scenes and let him take the lead, he would lose. Wouldn't it be a loss of Zhang Yi's face? But this person is so arrogant and domineering. If he let the water go, it would be tantamount to connivance in disguise!
"Congratulations...Wang Tiezhu, you answered correctly again~! This lantern belongs to you!" After announcing loudly, Miao Xuan threw the small red lantern in Yu's hand towards Wang Tiezhu who looked excited.
"Impossible, impossible~! I don't believe it. I think you just want to feel sorry for me! This lamp belongs to me and no one can take it away!"
"Bang~!" There was an explosion, and under the rolling air waves, two figures, a man and a woman, staggered and separated. Everyone present was secretly shocked.
"Level 8!?" Wang Tao's eyes flickered, and he looked warily at the young woman opposite who had rescued the honest man. Wang Tao secretly thought it was a pity. He had planned to kill Wang Tiezhu after grabbing the light, but he didn't want to be disturbed by Miao Xuan. .
"Without showing mountains or dew, Miaoyin Pavilion's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is not simple!" Feng Ling calmed down and carefully investigated, and found two ninth-level women and one... ...Ten turns!
"Who is the ten-turn woman in Miaoyin's attic? Why is her breath so familiar?" Just when Feng Ling was puzzled, a voice suddenly interrupted his train of thought.
"That's enough~! Wang Tao, after returning the lantern to others, sit back for me!" Zhang Yi was furious, slapped the black iron chair with his palm, stood up and shouted loudly.
Even though Zhang Yi had such a good temper, he was very angry by Wang Tao's series of outrageous actions.
Shame on you! It’s all your own face that you’ve lost!
"Take it~!" Wang Tao snorted coldly, threw the thing in his hand angrily, and kept thinking: "Who the hell cares! And you, Zhang Yi, who are you? Why dare you order me in such a tone?"
"Miss Miaoxuan, keep going~!" Seeing the sulky Wang Tao sit back, Zhang Yi made a gesture of invitation to the young woman, and then sat back himself.
"According to the rules, one lantern will be deducted from the one who makes the wrong answer. Due to the special circumstances, the other party has not received it. I have decided to implement a negative points system. I owe it first!" Madam Xu has been watching every move in the field and is very merciless. Publicly promulgate a new rule, specially promulgated to deal with scum like Wang Tao!
"Pfft~!" Wang Tao was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood and wanted to start a riot, but found Zhang Yizheng glancing at him, so he had to suppress his unhappiness.
