Halfway through the banquet, the king and concubine of Zhongzhou left the table together, followed by the noisy friendship between the disciples of various sects.
On the side of Jiuyao Palace, Shao Zhengyang was the first one who couldn't sit still, and he went around attracting bees and butterflies as soon as he greeted him.
Tan Yubing chatted with Lu Mingshu casually. She also wanted to withdraw, but the three envoys and deputy envoys were still there, and it was not good for her to leave first as a disciple.
Lu Mingshu was very at ease, Tan Yubing would only answer one sentence when talking to her, and at other times, he would focus on savoring the delicacies at the banquet.
Zhongzhou Wufu Minfeng is very particular about food, especially this banquet is the highest standard in Zhongzhou. There are countless delicacies from mountains and seas, and delicacies, which are usually only heard but never seen.
"It's delicious, right?" A vaguely familiar female voice sounded.
Lu Mingshu raised his head.
County Lord Jiayan stood in front of her with her chest folded and her chin raised slightly.
Lu Mingshu nodded: "Yes, Zhongzhou cuisine is well-deserved."
"You..." County Lord Jiayan felt tight in her chest at her attitude. Does this bumpkin know that he is laughing at her
Suppressing the anger in her heart, she put on her haughty look again: "Lu Mingshu, people have self-knowledge, have you heard this saying?"
Lu Mingshu looked at her quietly, waiting for the next sentence.
Seeing her eyes, County Mistress Jiayan's heart burst into flames again. Ever since she knew there was such a person, she didn't like her. He was obviously a country bumpkin from Xichuan, but he wanted to put on a calm face before the landslide, as if he didn't care about anything. What is she? Miss Nine Yao Palace? As for the small sect in the valley of Jiuyao Palace, what's so great about it
So she said in a cold voice: "It's not your own thing, so it's meaningless to pester, don't you think?"
Tan Yubing was full of worry, Lu Mingshu gave her a comforting smile, got up and said, "County Jiayan, I thought we had already made it clear that night."
"Explain what?" County Mistress Jiayan lowered her face, "Did you promise anything?"
Lu Mingshu raised his eyebrows, and said strangely: "Master, I never owed you, why should I promise you?"
"I… "
"What's more," she continued, "I have no say in this matter, shouldn't the county master go to someone who has the final say?"
"You, are you teaching me how to do it?" County Mistress Jiayan's heart was blocked, and she said with a stiff neck, "Anyway, I'll come to you, how about it?"
"I should ask the county magistrate this question." Lu Mingshu said with a smile, "What does the county magistrate want?"
County Lord Jiayan came here suddenly, looking like he was looking for trouble, and he had already attracted the attention of several colorful sheds nearby. Being watched by so many people, she couldn't hold back her breath, so she said, "Lu Mingshu, do you dare to make a bet with me?"
There was a glint in Lu Mingshu's eyes: "What is the county chief betting on?"
County Lord Jiayan showed that proud and sneering expression again: "I heard that you are very confident in your own strength?"
"generally."
"This time the Kirin will definitely want to enter the rookie list?"
"so what?"
"Then let's make a bet," County Mistress Jiayan finally stated her purpose, "See if you can enter the rookie list! If you lose, you are not allowed to have any entanglements with your cousin in the future. If you win, I will never trouble you again."
Lu Mingshu didn't speak.
"Hello!" County Mistress Jiayan waited impatiently, "Do you agree?"
Lu Mingshu smiled lightly: "Why should I make this bet?"
The head of Jiayan county was aggressive: "Why, don't you dare?"
Lu Mingshu remained unmoved: "The so-called bet requires a corresponding bet. If I lose, the bet is exactly what the county lord wants, but if I win, there is no benefit at all. If that's the case, why should I bet?"
"Why is there no benefit?" County Mistress Jiayan said anxiously, "As long as you win, I promise I won't make things difficult for you."
"Ah… "
"why are you laughing?"
Lu Mingshu calmly said: "I have read in the book that there are often bandits occupying dangerous places in the mountains and forests. If pedestrians pass by, they can pass safely only after paying the road money. Otherwise, the bandits will forcibly rob the property. Betting is really similar to it!"
County Lord Jiayan was stunned for a moment, then reacted and was furious: "You compare me with a bandit?!"
"Miss!" Yin Hong heard it, and quickly stopped talking, "How can you talk to the county magistrate like this?"
Lu Mingshu glanced at her, but didn't speak.
Yin Hong laughed and said: "Master, our eldest lady is just joking, please don't mind."
"Are you joking? Do you have the final say?" County Mistress Jiayan didn't appreciate it, snorted coldly, and shouted, "Lu Mingshu, what do you want?"
Lu Mingshu revealed a thoughtful look, and said slowly: "It's not that this gamble cannot be won, but..."
"But how?"
"It's only fair to me to change the bet."
County Mistress Jiayan held back her anger: "Say it!"
Lu Mingshu smiled: "If I lose, I will naturally follow what the county lord said. If I win by luck, the county lord will pay me the bet."
"Gambling money?" County Mistress Jiayan was taken aback.
"The county lord is a member of the royal family, and he has a food town, so he can't even afford the gambling money?"
She had a smile that was not a smile, and the county magistrate Jiayan blurted out: "Okay! Tell me, how much is the bet?"
Lu Mingshu thought for a while: "Since it's the county lord's bet, of course the bet must conform to the county lord's identity. Ordinary gold and silver are meaningless, if you want to bet, you can bet on Xuanjing, how about it?"
"Okay!" The mere Xuan Jing, the head of Jiayan County, didn't take it seriously.
Lu Mingshu immediately said: "One or two, you look down on the county head too much, if you want to bet, you can bet a hundred, how about it?"
As soon as this remark came out, everyone who heard it gasped.
One hundred profound crystals, this is a huge sum of money! It is very difficult to get Xuanjing in the Fusion Realm. Even if you have a good way of making money, it is not easy to save a dozen or so to buy mustard pouches. If you save a hundred, many people will not be able to save them in their lifetime.
Even Yin Hong was a little jealous. The Xuanjing in Jiuyao Palace only provides elders above the ecstasy state, and she can only get three or four of them every month, and one hundred Xuanjing is two or three years. Besides, it must be used for cultivation or something, right? It is too...
"This..." County Mistress Jiayan hesitated. It is true that she has food, but such a large sum of money, if she wants to use it, she must obtain the permission of King Yi...
Lu Mingshu seemed considerate: "If it's inconvenient for the county lord, it can be less."
Seeing her eyes, County Mistress Jiayan didn't say a word: "One hundred is one hundred, can't the County Mistress afford it?"
"Okay! The county lord is really straightforward!" Lu Mingshu stretched out his hand, "A word from a gentleman?"
"Come on!" County Mistress Jiayan gave her a high-five.
The bet is hereby established, and there is no need to go back on it.
On the way back, the servant girl next to the county master Jiayan asked: "Master, didn't you say that she rejected the young master? Why did she even propose this bet? She lost, she only needed a promise, and if she won, she asked the county Lord, take out a hundred profound crystals, this..." What a disadvantage!
"What do you know?" Mistress Jiayan curled her lips, "That's why I want to bet with her. It was she who rejected my cousin, not my cousin who rejected her, so even if my cousin doesn't like her, he will still miss her." But, if my cousin knows that she is taking herself as a bet, no matter how generous she is, she will feel uncomfortable, right? I will definitely hate her at that time! This bet, no matter whether I win or lose, as long as she agrees, I will be the winner!"
One hundred Xuanjing, it's worth it if my cousin hates her!
The servant girl suddenly realized and admired her: "So that's the case, the county master is too powerful!"
On the other side, Tan Yubing asked worriedly: "Martial nephew Lu, why did you make such a bet with the head of Jiayan County? If you lose..."
"If I don't gamble, how can County Mistress Jiayan let me go?" Lu Mingshu smiled lightly, "Anyway, even if I lose, I have nothing to lose."
There was a sentence later, but Lu Mingshu didn't say it.
Qilin will end, she is not going back to Jiuyao Palace. And if you travel abroad, all you need is money. County Lord Jiayan delivered it to her door herself, how could she refuse
