Ninety-six, Fighting Rich

In the battle between the "Snow Lion King" of the Tang Dynasty and the "Purple-faced Heavenly King" of the Northern Song Dynasty, the odds of the two sides were: "Snow Lion King" lost thirteen in ten, and "Purple-faced Heavenly King" lost 8 in ten, and gamblers who were optimistic about the "Purple-faced Heavenly King" still accounted for the majority.

Although the "Snow Lion King" won three consecutive games, he never encountered the "Purple-faced Heavenly King Xiong Kuohai" although he lost in two battles, the "Genius General Tianbao" lost, and he fought with the "Genius General Tianbao" for a long time. Although he lost, he also caused great trauma to the "Genius General Tianbao" and laid the root of disaster for the "Genius General Tianbao" to the "Genius King Lu Bu".

One of the important reasons that makes gamblers optimistic about the "Purple-faced King" is the amazing performance of the "Purple-faced King" killing "Little Overlord Sun Ce" yesterday. It is surprising that the "Purple-faced King" is so brave when injured. The momentum is simply comparable to the Immortal King. Therefore, gamblers are betting on the "Purple-faced King" to win. If Zhou Xuan had not bet on nearly 20,000 taels of silver for the "Snow Lion King" here, the odds would be huge.

But the result of this game was even more shocking. The "Purple-faced King Xiong Kuohai" was completely different from yesterday. It had no momentum of a top-grade general. It was bitten by the "Snow Lion King" and was knocked down. He didn't dare to open his teeth and lost.

Prince Snow Pig has been watching the game by the side, hoping that the "Purple-faced Heavenly King" will win, so that he can propose a match between "Insect King Lu Bu" and "Snow Lion King". He never expected that the "Purple-faced Heavenly King" would lose so easily. The fat white man shouted in anger: "This is a fake fight, this is a fake fight!" He glared at the Northern Song Dynasty Dou Zhe Envoy.

The Northern Song Dynasty Dou Zhe Envoy, Yang Zongbao and others were also shocked. They did not expect the "Purple-faced Heavenly King" to become so weak, but it was really wrong for the Heavenly King to say that they were fake fighting!

Zhou Xuan said: "Shopkeeper Liu, do you say this is a fake fight, is there any evidence?"

Prince Xuezhu said: "What other evidence is needed! You see, compared with yesterday, the 'Purple-faced King' has no fighting spirit at all. Isn't this a fake fight?"

Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "This is the same as that, and the other is the same as the opponent, and the fighting spirit is naturally different. For example, if you want to deal with an opponent who is much stronger than him and cannot defeat him, what kind of fighting spirit do you think he can have?"

Prince Snow Pig stared at Mung Bean's eyes and said, "You mean the 'Snow Lion King' is much stronger than the 'Insect King Lu Bu'? How is this possible? Is the 'Snow Lion King' the worm king?"

Zhou Xuan asked back: "How do you know that the 'Snow Lion King' is not the worm king?"

Prince Xuezhu said: "If it is the Insect King, how dare you fight with the 'Insect King Lu Bu' of this shopkeeper?"

Zhou Xuan said: "There is nothing I dare not fight, but it is not today that the five countries have ended. My Tang Kingdom is the champion. This is unquestionable. Of course, if Manager Liu can make a big bet and ask the "Insect King Lu Bu" to challenge me "Snow Lion King", then I will not refuse."

Prince Xuezhu looked at everyone present, knowing that he couldn't bear it, and nodded, "Okay, if we fight again tomorrow, the shopkeeper will make an amazing bet."

Zhou Xuan smiled slightly: "I will declare first that the 'Snow Lion King' will change its name and a loud name."

Prince Xuezhu asked: "What's the name?"

Zhou Xuan looked at Prince Snow Pig's fat head and ears, and thought to himself: "I didn't realize it before, but now I think that the name of the Snow Lion King is too similar to your Snow Pig. This is simply a humiliating insect, so I have to change it." He said: "This cricket in my Tang Kingdom won the championship with an unbeaten record in the battle of insects in the Five Kingdoms, but there is no name of a powerful general of the Three Kingdoms or Sui and Tang dynasties, which seems to be incompatible with the name of the fierce insects in other countries. I am now renamed it to 'Xifu Zhao King Li Yuanba'. Do you have any opinions?"

Zhou Xuan shook his head and said, "No one is eager to buy the treasures made by the Han Emperor, which is really disappointing-"

Prince Xuezhu yelled: "Hurry up and compete for it, and you want me to grab it."

Then an official from the Southern Han Dynasty shouted: "The lower officials paid 11,000 taels of silver."

The Censor Ye Feibai thought I had paid 10,000 taels, so why would he be more than 2,000 taels, and shouted: "The subordinates paid 12,000 taels."

"Ten thousand three thousand taels."

"Ten thousand taels."

...

Zhou Xuan stood on the platform with a coconut shell mask holding a smile. The emotions of the officials in the South Han Dynasty under the stage were completely mobilized at this time. I will increase the price when you quote the price. You snatch me and I will not give in to each other. The atmosphere at the auction was extremely lively. The coconut shell had soared to 30,000 taels of silver. The level of officials in the South Han Dynasty who participated in the competition was getting higher and higher, because middle and lower-level officials could not afford this price.

A round-faced, yellow-fat official in the South Han Dynasty called out the sky-high price of "35,000 taels", while another official hesitated for a moment and shouted out "36,000 taels".

The fat and round face of the Southern Han official smiled contemptuously, disdaining the one thousand taels like this, and yelled: "Forty thousand taels!"

The whole audience was shocked and no one answered again.

Zhou Xuan was not satisfied and was still shouting: "Forty thousand taels, very good. Is there anyone who raises the price? If I shout three times and no one raises the price, this rare treasure made by the Emperor of Han will belong to this adult - I dare to ask the adult to respect his surname and name?"

The fat and round face of the fat and round official bowed to Zhou Xuan: "I am here to be the Minister of the Yellow Gate."

Zhou Xuan thought to himself: "Li Tuo, it turns out that he is Li Tuo. Li Tuo, the Huangmen Minister who competed with Chen Yanshou and Fei Qing for the position of the Inner Grand Tutor. Both of these daughters entered the palace to serve Liu Jixing, one was a concubine and the other was a talented man. As expected, "Yaoyao raised his hand and said: "It turned out that it was Li Huangmen. He has been admiring for a long time - have he bid more than 40,000 taels? Once - have he bid more than 40,000 taels? Two times -"

Before Zhou Xuan could shout out the third time, Li Tuo waved his hand and said sharply: "Forty-five thousand taels!" Good guy, he increased the price himself.

The whole audience was shocked. Who dared to compete for wealth with Li Tuo?

Zhou Xuan said loudly: "Please come to the stage to receive this treasure."

Li Tuo came to the stage and first saluted Prince Xuezhu, then respectfully held the coconut shell mask, bowed to Zhou Xuan and said, "Mr. Zhou, the money will be sent to the inn where the Duke lives in the evening."
