Chapter seventy-one
The last sixteen people, eight groups battle!
Fortunately, Ying Jianxian and Qian Shaocheng had not met at this time. Otherwise, Qian Shaocheng's emotions would not be aroused to the greatest extent until the most critical moment, and the plan would be difficult to succeed.
The Madam spent a lot of money to customize the Octagonal Dragon and Elephant table, which came in handy at this time.
The crowd of onlookers immediately flocked to the table and was packed with people. What they were more concerned about was not who won or who lost, but whether they could win back the money they had bet.
"The game begins!"
With the Madam's order and the sound of the gong, the third round of Autumn Festival is in full swing.
Li Feibai stared at Ying Jianxian's cricket and saw that it had a big head, thick legs, and straight antennae. It was obviously very good at fighting and was the best among crickets.
I'm afraid the value of this cricket is no less than two cattle. Li Feibai weighed it in his mind.
No surprise, Ying Jianxian easily won here and advanced to the semi-finals.
At Qian Shaocheng's place, Lin Tianchong was holding a tiny grain of dust in his hand. To be precise, it was a grain of dust. It was impossible to tell without looking carefully.
If Qian Shaocheng's cricket was about to lose, Lin Tianchong would use the dust in his hand to help him. With his cultivation, it would be easy to do this.
Fortunately, Qian Shaocheng was quite good at it, and finally won without any danger.
The crowd immediately booed.
"Oh, I lost all my money today, so I won't play with you anymore. I'll take my leave."
"I made an advance payment for next month's expenses without telling my father, and these two thousand taels are gone all of a sudden. How do you expect me to survive these two months?" Someone cried and cried.
"It's just, it's so disappointing."
This group of bettors expressed their dissatisfaction and left Zuihong Mansion. They didn't even have the money to find a girl to talk to, so naturally they wouldn't stay anymore.
There were 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 Zhao Qiancheng? It seems that he has rarely been seen in Jinglin." Lin Tianchong walked to Li Feibai and asked.
Shaking his head, Li Feibai said he had no impression.
"Don't worry about him, we just need to keep an eye on Ying Jianxian and Qian Shaocheng." "The next round of the battle will be drawn by the madam. What if the two of them face off early?" Lin Tianchong expressed his worries.
"That's for sure." Li Feibai replied with a smile.
"Definitely? Why did sir say that?"
"Before the start, Zhou Li had already had a conflict with Qian Shaocheng. The madam is so good at calculations and knows business, so he must do enough stunts in the finals in order to obtain the maximum benefit. Therefore, if the madam is allowed to draw lots, this round of battle will definitely
It is Ying Jianxian to Qian Shaocheng, Zhou Li to Zhao Qiancheng. If he
If they win respectively, then the final will be Zhou Li versus Qian Shaocheng, which is very interesting to watch. It would be better if there is another conflict. In the next month, the whole Jinglin will probably be talking about this matter. Zuihonglou unknowingly
The reputation has improved a lot, which is in line with the original intention of the old bustard to hold the Qiuxing Competition."
Li Feibai's explanation made Lin Tianchong suddenly enlightened.
"Mr. Bai has insight into people's hearts, and I admire him."
There was no reply. Li Feibai frowned slightly and thought about how to deal with it.
The madam twisted her body and slowly walked down the stairs.
At this time, Qian Shaocheng said harsh words to Zhou Lifang again: "It's best not to let me meet you in this round, otherwise you won't even be able to enter the finals."
"Indeed, I don't want to meet you in this round, because then I won't be able to see you at the last moment, frustrated and frustrated." Zhou Li replied.
Qian Shaocheng couldn't help it anymore and raised his fist to smash it down.
"Okay, okay." The madam also became impatient with Qian Shaocheng's temper.
But she was secretly happy that there were two upsets in the semi-finals, one was Ying Jianxian, the son of the Minister of Justice who stayed at home, and the other was Zhao Qiancheng, who was even more unknown and had never been heard of in Jinglin.
The appearance of these two people out of thin air has already made the madam's gambling fortune huge.
"Two ancestors, when you see the truth on the battlefield, stop talking nonsense."
Qian Shaocheng was very familiar with the madam and did not blame her for her attitude.
"Everyone, next is the Qiuxing semi-finals, which will be held on this eight-way dragon and elephant table. They are divided into two groups. In order to present a visual feast to everyone, the semi-finals will be held one after the other."
"Okay!" Thunderous applause erupted from the crowd. Obviously, everyone was still unsatisfied.
In this way, there are still three games to watch. For those who love cricket fighting, this is indeed a top-notch visual feast.
Then, the madam turned around, clenched his fists, and said loudly: "I have two chess pieces in my hand, one black and one white. Everyone takes turns to draw them. If the first person and the second person draw both black pieces,
That is the battle between these two people, and the other two people work together. Ruodi
One person draws a black stone, and the second person draws a white stone. Then the third person comes up and draws. If he draws a black stone, he will fight with the first person. If he draws a white stone, he will fight with the second person.
The battle is simple and fair, do you have any opinions?"
After listening to the rules explained by the madam, everyone nodded without objection.
But Li Feibai frowned. In this way, it would be too easy for the madam to cheat. As long as someone stands behind him and secretly changes the chess pieces in his hand when the second or third person draws, he can decide who will play against whom.
Under the gaze of everyone, the madam took out two chess pieces, one black and one white, held them in his hand, then put them behind his back to shuffle them, stretched out his hand again, and asked: "Who comes first?"
"Me!" Qian Shaocheng rushed onto the stage without hesitation and raised one of the madam's hands at will.
"Heizi!"
The madam opened her hand and let everyone take a look.
If the next person is drawn by Zhou Li, the madam must have two white stones in his hand to prevent them from meeting in advance.
And if the one who goes up is Ying Jianxian or Zhao Qiancheng, then she must have two black chips in her hand, because no matter who of the two is up against Qian Shaocheng, the Madam will accept it.
Li Feibai's idea was just opposite to that of the madam.
He wanted to prevent Ying Jianxian and Qian Shaocheng from meeting in advance, so if the second person up was Zhou Li, then Li Feibai hoped that he would draw a black stone. In this way, Qian Shaocheng would fight Zhou Li, and Ying Jianxian would fight Zhao Qiancheng.
.
"Who's coming for the second person?" The madam's eyes became nervous and he looked at the other three people.
"Zhou Li, aren't you shouting so loudly, why don't you come up?" Qian Shaocheng smiled contemptuously.
"Huh, I won't go up there and let them two do it, lest others say I'm afraid of you and picking my opponent."
This unexpected surprise disrupted all the madam's calculations.
