Twins in Tibet

Early the next morning, someone came to invite them to the hall. Chu Tianhan and Xiao Xunran looked at each other, then called Tian Qi out, changed Tian Qi's appearance slightly, and then Chu Tianhan said to Xiao Xunran. I used an invisibility talisman, and a group of five people went to the hall with the servant.

"My lord, the selection of the head of the family is about to start. I wonder if the lord wants to enter the arena to watch or wait outside?" the head of the Dian family stepped forward and asked with a smile.

"How's it going inside? How's it going outside?" Cheng Jing asked standing outside the door without going inside.

"If the prince wants to enter the arena, then the number of helpers that Zhiyu can bring there will be reduced. According to the house rules of the Dian family, no more than three people can be brought in by the descendants of the Dian family who enter the arena. If it is outside the arena , Caomin would like to ask the prince if there is any place he wants to go, or something he wants to do." Where should I go, don't get in the way here.

Cheng Jing raised her eyebrows, thought for a while and said, "Tianhan, you and Mingyao are waiting outside, and Xunran and I will go in." The Tianhan that Cheng Jing said was naturally Tian Qi, and Cheng Jing and Xiao Xunran only had two Personally, the invisible Chu Tianhan is naturally not included, so there is still a place.

They don't know anything about these gambling games of the Dian family. It is said that knowing yourself and the enemy can win every battle, so the remaining quota is naturally given to someone who is familiar with the gambling games.As for Dian Zhiyu, there is only one Dian Bai.And Dian Bai followed Dian Zhiyu's father for more than ten years. Although he didn't understand these things thoroughly about Dian's family, it was more than enough to be a commentator.

The Patriarch of the Dian family froze for a moment. Originally, he was impatient with these tedious and tasteless things because Cheng Jinggui was the prince. He had already prepared other pastimes to get rid of the prince, but he didn’t Thinking that the prince would actually follow up.

Let's not talk about whether Cheng Jing has wasted Dian Zhiyu's helper quota and made Dian Zhiyu lose a few chances of victory. He only said that he is a prince, and he came here to participate in a gambling game. Could it be that he Are you not afraid that his behavior will spread to the imperial capital and be reprimanded by the emperor?

Although he was very dissatisfied with Cheng Jing's behavior, the Patriarch of the Dian family still kept a respectful smile: "It is really an honor for my Dian family to be able to visit you." Huaguo has been established for hundreds of years. The first prince who came to participate in the gambling game.

Cheng Jing narrowed her eyes.He smiled innocently, with a gentle expression, and a firm tone: "Patriarch Dian should indeed feel honored, but I am not here just to bring honor to your Dian family, I am mainly to witness that my apprentice got the position of Patriarch Dian family Great moment."

The corner of the Patriarch's mouth twitched: "It is really a blessing for Zhiyu to worship the prince as his teacher. However, the position of Patriarch of the Dian Family is still relatively difficult to obtain." Why, are you going to use the status of the prince to suppress others?But I'm afraid you will be disappointed, my family can stand in Wangchun City for a hundred years, it's not like you, a prince with a foreign surname, can interfere casually.

"Whether you can get it or not is not up to the Patriarch of the Dian family." Cheng Jing said as she flicked the non-existent dust on her sleeve.Xiao Xunran and the invisible Chu Tianhan stood hand in hand, sighing together in their hearts, how boring, how boring, although you have a lot of white beard, Patriarch of the Dian family, but you obviously belong to the kind of people who are old but not wise Man, it's no wonder you win when you argue with a fox.

The two of them didn't talk for a long time, and someone came to report that they were ready and asked them to move.Only then did Cheng Jing and the others realize that this hall was not the main venue. When Dian Zhiyu was first called away, they thought it was just a name, but they didn't expect that as soon as the name was reported, they would be able to report outside Dian's house. .

Although it was an accident, they didn't delay too much. They boarded the carriage prepared by the Patriarch of the Dian Family and rushed out of the city.According to the Patriarch of the Dian Family, because gambling is not actually something that can be put on the table, so even if the Patriarch of the Dian Family is selected based on this, they cannot openly hold a gambling conference in the city, in order not to give the city If they have a very bad impression and influence on the people, they can only move the gambling venues outside the city.

Outside Wangchun City, there is a Jude Villa, which is Cheng Jing and the others' goal today.Standing at the foot of the mountain, Cheng Jing looked up at the four golden characters, with a sarcastic smile on her lips, the secret base used for gambling was actually named after Jude, the ancestors of the Dian family were indeed talented.

Stepping into the villa, passing through a small courtyard, is considered to reach the destination.The first thing that catches the eye is a large courtyard. There is a large incense burner in the center of the courtyard. Dian Zhiyu and the other seven Patriarch candidates are standing respectfully in a row, and then step forward in order from the oldest to the youngest. Incense.

Several people held thick incense sticks in their hands, and their little faces were tense, looking very ridiculous.Although the atmosphere was very solemn, Cheng Jing couldn't help but want to laugh.The patriarch of their palace family was not worshiped by their ancestors, but Qiu Qianshu, the king of gambling a hundred years ago.Such a scene, such an approach, how could Cheng Jing not feel ridiculous?

Fortunately, Cheng Jing knew how to restrain herself, she raised her sleeves to cover her mouth, her mocking smile was not seen by others.

After worshiping the gambling king, it was time for the current Patriarch of the Dian family to announce the methods and rules of gambling.Every time the owner changes, the gambling method is formulated by the previous owner.Naturally, this time was no exception. Dian Zhiyu's uncle had the final say on what Dian Zhiyu and the others wanted to bet on.After announcing this, let a few people take a break to prepare, and then the Patriarch of the Dian family left the hall, and went to the back to order the arrangement.In this way, there is no favorable situation in the case of Dian Yu.Dian Zhiyan was the son of Dian Zhiyu's uncle, so it was impossible not to know about it before.Although the other few people were not the sons of Uncle Dianzhiyu, they lived in Dian's house recently, so they could always hear a little bit of rumors.Moreover, the uncle of Dianzhiyu needs to prepare the gambling tools to be used today, even if they haven't heard the news, they can still come out with something.There is only Dian Yu, one is the enemy of Dian Zhiyan's father and son, and twenty has been away from Dian's family for half a year.I have no idea what to bet today.

But Dian Zhiyu didn't show timidity at all, but looked confident.The rest of the people thought that Dian Zhiyu was putting on airs. Although they looked at Dian Zhiyu contemptuously, they did not express any opinion. Only Dian Zhiyan snorted and mocked: "Brother Zhiyu, are you only here today?"

Dian Zhiyu smiled: "Cousin Zhiyan was joking, until the end, it's really hard to say who will be at the bottom." After staying with Cheng Jing for a long time, Cheng Jing's smile that wasn't smiling Dian Zhiyu had already learned an eight-point figure, but because he didn't learn the essence, he looked a little hideous.

Dian Zhiyan was taken aback, thinking what Dian Zhiyu was going to do to him, he quickly took a step back.You must know that the master of Dian Zhiyu is a prince. Although this prince has no rights, his name alone can crush people to death.Therefore, before he is sure, he can't do anything about the encounter in the palace.Anyway, if Dian Zhiyu did something to him, there might be nothing wrong with him.

"Okay, everyone is starting to enter." Seeing Dian Zhiyan's timid look, Dian Zhiyu was about to say something when he heard Dian Zhiyan's father's cronies coming out to pass on the message, so he stopped saying anything now, anyway. After I became the head of the family, it was just a trivial matter to get rid of him, and there was no need to waste my tongue at this moment.

Eight people filed into the backyard, Dian Zhiyan's father was standing on a temporary high platform, and next to it was a cage in which eight pigeons were locked.

"The first game is character guessing. Look at these eight pigeons. Each of them has a note tied to it, which is the eight characters of heaven, earth, stem, branch, yin, yang, and universe. I will release these pigeons later, and then you can write them yourself. Write down a word, choose a pigeon to shoot down after writing, if the shot down carries the exact same word as what you wrote, it will be considered a victory, and you will get a chip, understand?"

"Understood." The eight people said in unison, and then each of them went to the table next to Dian Zhiyan's father to pick up a pen and write a word on their own paper. This paper will be put in a box. No one can open the box until all of them are shot down, and the eight witnesses who saw it that day jointly monitor the box.As for the winning chips, the score will be calculated at the end. The more chips you win, the higher the score will be. At that time, the person with the most chips will be the head of the palace family.

And within a short while, the invisible Chu Tianhan had already read all the words tied to the pigeon's legs. He didn't need to untie the notes tied to the pigeon's legs. The ink traces can roughly come out to be the above characters.

The eight people began to pick out their own bows and arrows, because they were prepared before, so each bow and arrow had their names written on them, so that it would be impossible to tell who shot the pigeons.Dian Zhiyu did not open his bow to aim at the pigeon in the sky like others, but opened the bow to test the elasticity.

Walking to Dian Zhiyu, Chu Tianhan asked, "What word did you write?"

Dian Zhiyu drew a dry character in the air with a bow. The eight of them stood very close. If they spoke, they would definitely be heard. Therefore, this is the only way to communicate, and the dry characters have the fewest strokes. It's best to draw it out, so he chose this word.

Chu Tianhan nodded, although Dian Zhiyu couldn't see it, but he could hear Chu Tianhan's voice transmission: "Shoot the whitest pigeon, see? Counting from top to bottom, the third pigeon." Because the pigeon After letting go, due to the difference in physical strength, the flying heights are different, and it is rare to fly side by side, so Chu Tianhan's hint is easy to find.
