"The wine you just drank was mixed with a medicinal ingredient called Si Mo Xiao Tian Dan." Lu Qin stared at everyone coldly, with an expression as if death was coming.
"Si Mo Xiao Tian Dan? What kind of medicinal material is this?" Lu Shaoyun and the other three looked at each other in confusion.
"Si Mo Xiao Tian Dan! Taking one is equivalent to not eating for a day." Tong Bo said with a solemn expression.
"You haven't eaten for a day?" Lu Shaoyun touched his abdomen and asked in disbelief: "You mean, all of us have been hungry for a day?"
"Not bad!" Tong Bo responded to Lu Shaoyun, but stared at Lu Qin, thinking: "Is this the food shortage crisis you want?"
"From this moment on, all game participants until the end of the game are not allowed to eat other food except the dry food in your hands, otherwise they will be directly judged as losers! In addition, the bottom three rankings in each round need to drink these four Tiandan; and after the game is over, the two people ranked second in silver will have to pay with their lives." Lu Qin also looked at Tong Bo intentionally or unintentionally, as if responding to Tong Bo.
"Can we start?" Tong Bo asked coldly.
"It's really rare to have Xiangyun look forward to it so much!" Although Lu Qin said something sarcastic, he still asked seriously: "How have you considered the notary?"
"Master! Could you please serve as a notary?" Tong Bo did not respond directly to Lu Qin, but stood up and walked to Si Ruoshui and bowed.
Si Ruoshui did not speak, but nodded slowly, but the aura in his eyes had reached an unprecedented level of coldness.
"Thank you, Master." Tong Bo got the answer he wanted and was about to leave.
"Are you sure?" Si Ruoshui suddenly said without thinking, but his eyes were always fixed on the women hanging on the bronze tripod.
"Housemaster! It's too cold around you, it's not good for your health!" Tong Bo looked at Si Ruoshui with firm eyes, then suddenly turned around and flicked his right thumb.
"I believe this Tianyang Stone is very suitable for the current courtyard master." Accompanied by Tong Bo's voice, a dark red stone fell steadily into Si Ruoshui's hands like a parabola.
The dark red stone had a bit of warmth, which made Si Ruoshui couldn't help but raise his head again, looking at Tong Bo's back, with mixed feelings in his heart.
"Since Xiangyun has chosen a notary, let me choose one besides myself." Lu Qin looked at Zhao Fei and said, "The notary in the cabinet will be my husband, how about that?"
"I humbly obey my orders." Zhao Fei stood up and responded.
"If everyone has no objections, I will make an announcement..." After Lu Qin finished explaining Zhao Fei, he wanted to announce the start.
"Wait!" Lu Shaoyun suddenly interrupted Lu Qin.
"Huh? What's your objection?" Lu Qin, who was interrupted, asked with a frown.
"I want to add another rule." Lu Shaoyun said coldly.
"Add a rule?" Lu Qin became interested and asked, "What kind of rule do you want to add?"
"Since we are going to decide the outcome with that guy, of course it needs to be more exciting." Lu Shaoyun pointed at Tong Bo and said: "After the fifth round, if he and I are not ranked first, we will both die."
"Xiangyun, what do you think?" As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes turned to Tong Bo. Even Lu Qin couldn't help but want to see how he would respond.
"Brother Shaoyun! The cockfighting in the Ziyan Poultry House is just for fun. Do you need to risk your life like this?" Tong Bo didn't care about Lu Shaoyun's words and remained calm and calm.
"You need it, don't you dare?" Lu Shaoyun said reluctantly.
"In that case, it's up to you." Tong Bo sighed.
"The additional rules have been agreed by both of you and are valid!" Lu Qin stood up again, spread his hands and said loudly: "The game has officially begun."
"One tael, buy that girl." A white-faced boy had just placed the tray with silver and grain in front of Tong Bo. He pointed at the girl besides the three maids Feng, Hua and Xue and shouted loudly.
"This is too fast, it's not like your style!" Lu Qin looked at Tong Bo with suspicion, and the three men in black who participated in the game were all confused.
"I thought how powerful this person was, but now it seems that he is either lustful or afraid of death." Lu Shaoyun glared at Tong Bo with disdain and said loudly: "Two liang."
"Two taels!" Lu Qin asked, "Is there anyone else who has offered a higher price?" The three men in black looked at each other and shook their heads.
"Xiangyun, do you want to increase the price?" Lu Qin seemed to want to see Tong Bo's decision and asked deliberately.
"No need!" Tong Bo actually took out a piece of dried meat from the dry food bag he had just received and took a bite. Then he smiled slowly and said, "Since Brother Shaoyun likes this girl so much, how can Bo not be beautiful as an adult!" Qian Qianqian!哾
"Interesting!" Lu Qin gave Tong Bo a meaningful look and said loudly: "Since no one continues to bid, let's ask two notaries to notarize it."
"What's going on with this guy? Why did he give up the bidding without even thinking about it? Could it be..." Lu Shaoyun mechanically exchanged silver for the woman's contract with the notary, but there was a look of surprise on his face.
"It seems that Shaoyun is aware of it!" Lu Qin had already seen Tong Bo's intentions from the moment he gave up the bidding: "Xiang Yun's bid has two purposes. First, to be the first to designate the woman to participate in the game; second, 2. Give Shaoyun an illusion of greed for life and fear of death, and induce him to bid. As long as Shaoyun bids, he falls into the trap. If he does not bid, he will temporarily hold the woman's ownership at a small price of one tael of silver. deficit."
"Remember that according to the rules, you can bid unlimitedly for the ownership of this woman!" Lu Shaoyun asked: "If someone else bids, what will happen to the two taels of silver I have paid?"
"If someone else bids successfully, your silver taels will of course be returned." Lu Qin said, but thought in his heart: "But if no one bids this round, then you will only have eighteen taels of silver left, and now you are at the bottom of the queue. name."
"Damn it! If you weren't careful, you fell into this guy's scheme!" Lu Shaoyun looked at the remaining silver in his hand and secretly made a plan in his heart.
"Brother, you see, Lu Shaoyun suffered a loss from the beginning!" Wei Hanwen stroked his beard and said, "This kid is really difficult to deal with."
"How can someone who can make Li Wushang suffer a loss be a good person!" Xu Yunjin nodded, but changed the subject: "But business is what Lu Shaoyun is good at. Although he suffered a little loss, he may not lose."
"I am Lu Shaoyun, the merchant in the pavilion!" As soon as Xu Yunjin finished speaking, Lu Shaoyun used his negotiation skills as a merchant: "I wonder what I call these brothers?"
"My, my name is Tian Jiu!" Among the three, a short guard in black with an immature face replied first. This man looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, and he looked nervous even when he spoke.
"Xiao Jiu! When Master Lu asks you, he should answer as openly as a man. Why are you so nervous!" Another square-faced man slapped the young man named Tian Jiu on the shoulder with his right palm, but He took the opportunity to introduce himself to Lu Shaoyun: "My name is Qiu Dahai. I hope the young master will take care of me."
"My humble name is He Zhong. I have met the young master." The remaining guard in black saluted Lu Shaoyun respectfully, without feeling any emotion in this man.
"Being able to get to know a few of you can be regarded as the fate between Shaoyun and you." At this time, Lu Shaoyun showed a faint smile, looking very friendly.
"I don't know what the young master has ordered. As long as it is within my ability, I will go through fire and water without hesitation." Before the other two people could say anything, the square-faced man Qiu Dahai couldn't wait to express his loyalty.
"Everyone should have heard it just now. If Shaoyun can't get the first place, his life will be in danger." Lu Shaoyun said slowly: "But your situation is not much better. If anyone is ranked fourth or fifth, it will be the same." It’s death.”
"Hey! I'm also worried. I wonder if the young master has any good ideas?" Qiu Dahai asked with a sad face.
"As long as the four of us work together, we can squeeze that guy to the last place." Lu Shaoyun said his true intention, which was to unite others to deal with Tong Bo.
"This is easy to say, but difficult to do!" He Zhong objected: "Master, don't forget, the person ranked fourth will also die."
"That's right!" Lu Shaoyun seemed to have considered this a long time ago and said confidently: "But if the fourth one gets the contract in my hand, that woman can die on his behalf."
"Yes!" Qiu Dahai slapped his left palm with his right fist and shouted excitedly: "Yes! This way, except for the guy over there, everyone else will be fine."
"Young Master's words make sense!" He Zhong, who had just raised the objection, said with a smile on his face: "Besides, that guy attacked us with a hidden weapon in Changmen Hall before, and now he just wants to take revenge."
"I, I..." Tian Jiu seemed to want to say something more, but Qiu Dahai hugged his shoulders: "Xiao Jiu, you should have no objections."
"Sir, what do you think?" Lu Qin looked at Lu Shaoyun's hard performance, but asked Zhao Fei's opinion.
"Even if these four people cooperate, it is absolutely impossible to squeeze Sir Mouyin to the last place." Zhao Fei walked to Lu Qin and whispered: "Shaoyun said this, I'm afraid..."
"I'm afraid it's a trick, right?" Lu Qin said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" Zhao Fei nodded: "Assuming that the four people trade pairs of silver and grain every round, and excluding Sir Mouyin, by the end of the game, at least one person will have less than twenty taels of silver in his hand, even if If you want to participate in the women’s bidding, you will also lose.”
"This is the interesting part of this game. It is impossible to fully implement the strategy of combining control." Lu Qin said.
"I want to sell a bag of dry food for four taels of silver. I wonder who among the few is willing to take it?" Lu Shaoyun was eager to get back his advantage because he had lost two taels of silver.
"This?" The three of them looked at me, and I looked at you. Everyone knew that silver was related to rankings, but no one spoke for a while.
"Isn't a bag of four taels of silver a little expensive? If there are two bags of four taels, I don't mind buying it." Tong Bo said with a smile while putting the remaining pieces of meat in his hands into his mouth.
The three men in black looked at Tong Bo again, with even more shock in their eyes.
"Are you kidding me?" Qiu Dahai shouted loudly: "Why would the young master sell dry food to someone like you?"
"Oh?" Tong Bo also mocked: "Then I wonder if you have the guts to buy it?"
"Me?" Qiu Dahai was speechless when asked by Tong Bo.
"If you don't dare, just shut up." Tong Bo mocked with disdain.
"Xiaojiu, here's your chance to show your loyalty!" Qiu Dahai was angry and slapped Tian Jiu's thin shoulder again: "You can buy Mr. Lu's dry food."
