Liu Yu walked forward with a smile, but Sun En's face was ashen and he said sternly: "Liu Yu, you are cheating, this doesn't count, it was just a matter of throwing rocks at each other as promised!"
Liu Yu smiled and opened his hand. There was a small stone in it. As he walked forward, he said, "Yes, I can break off a small piece from that stone. If this piece doesn't hit, I can still hit it again."
Break a piece off, and until it hits, the rocks will be thrown at each other, no problem! But don’t worry, this time I crushed the rocks apart before I hit them. If they hit, they will crack and no more front teeth will be knocked out.
.”
At this point, he happened to walk up to Xu Daofu and followed him. Looking at Xu Daofu who had a big swelling on his head, he smiled and said: "Brother Xu, have you seen the stars at night now?"
Xu Daofu murmured: "You kid, you are cheating, I, I..." He struggled to get up, but finally his head tilted and he fainted.
Liu Yu laughed, looked at He Wuji who was smiling at the place where he placed the bet, and said, "He Zhengzheng, tell me, am I the winner this time?"
He Wuji smiled slightly, looked at Liu Yi, and said, "I made a bet this time, so I'm not qualified to draw a conclusion. Brother Liu, it's up to you."
Liu Yi nodded and said: "Liu Yu used part of this flying stone to hit Xu Daofu, which is in line with the bet. There is no problem. Liu Yu won this round."
A group of gamblers who bet on Liu Yu burst into cheers and rushed to the offering table filled with money, while a dozen subordinate officials who maintained order tried their best to separate the crowd.
He shouted: "Don't rob, don't rob, come one by one, everyone will have a share!"
In the distance, Liu Linzong and Yang Linzi watched everything that happened here. Liu Linzong smiled and said nothing, while Yang Linzi sighed: "It seems that I underestimated this Liu Yu. I didn't expect that he is not only excellent in martial arts, but also extremely brave.
You have such a motive."
Liu Linzong nodded: "Yes, when I first saw Liu Yu, I knew that he was not an ordinary person. Underneath his rough appearance, he was as careful as his hair."
"Perhaps you despise him because you think his literary talent is average and he doesn't even know much about literacy. However, things like scheming are innate in Chengfu. If you are not talented enough, you can learn it, but this resourcefulness cannot be learned casually."
Speaking of this, Liu Linzong sighed: "From the beginning of this bet, it was a trap set by Liu Yu. Even if he was willing to come here from the ferry, it was because he wanted to suppress the Tianshi Dao gang and prevent them from causing chaos in Jingkou.
Come with a heart.”
Yang Linzi's expression changed: "What, he still has such thoughts? It's impossible. He is a small official in Jingkou, but he is just an upright person. He is only a little better than ordinary people. He is not even an internal official. He wants to offend him.
What do people from the Celestial Master Way do?"
Liu Linzong shook his head: "Probably because of the Tianshi Daolu Rebellion when he was a boy. His childhood playmates were separated because of this, and many acquaintances and villagers around him died, so he was born with an aversion to this kind of religion.
"
"Although Liu Yu has a low status, he is a man with a strong sense of justice. Otherwise, how could he offend the local governor for a few strangers from the north?"
Yang Linzi murmured: "Is this the legendary ***?"
Liu Linzong smiled slightly: "So when Liu Yu heard that the leader of Tianshi Tao came here to preach again, he followed him and wanted to see what the temple has to offer."
"He saw with his own eyes the influence of the Celestial Master's Tao here. He held ceremonies, invited these northern refugees and Jingkou people from all over the country to eat and drink, and extended some small favors."
"You see, as soon as Tan Pingzhi and others came, they put on new clothes. In the future, if someone gets sick and asks for medicine, or if a debt cannot be repaid, Tianshi Dao will ask the believers to help each other, and even then
It can incite civil unrest and cause trouble. These are all tactics used by careerists in the past generations to start rebellions in the name of religion and believers."
Yang Linzi gritted his teeth: "Then they shouldn't be allowed to preach here. Hum, when I go back I will write to His Majesty and ask him to ban Tianshi Dao's activities in Dajin."
Liu Linzong shook his head: "Let me say it again, Aning, now that the enemy is facing us, Tianshi Tao is a force that can be used. We will wait until we can survive the wave of the Qin State. The north believes in Buddhism and Tianshi Tao has no room for development, so we must protect it."
Dajin just wants to protect itself, and when we can get through this time safely, it won’t be too late to talk about how to deal with Tianshi Dao.”
Having said this, Liu Linzong looked at Liu Yu: "As for Liu Yu, today I am afraid that he is deliberately trying to suppress the arrogance of Tianshi Tao, so that the local people and the refugees from the north know that Tianshi Tao is not true.
Even gods are not omnipotent. The reason he is willing to compete with Xu Daofu this time is because he intends to lose first."
Yang Linzi asked curiously: "What, deliberately losing first?"
Liu Linzong smiled slightly: "A smart person will not put everything on the opponent at once without knowing the ins and outs of the other party. Xu Daofu and Xu Daofu have been apart for many years. After entering the Tianshi Dao, he doesn't know how far he can practice.
.”
"So the first time, he only bet forty dollars, just to be able to do it easily. Even if he loses, it is only part of it, not all of it. If my prediction is correct, those forty-three moves are not all of his strength."
"And Xu Daofu was able to throw it more than forty-five steps in one go. Even though he was taking medicine, this shows his strength, and it is still unknown whether there is a more powerful medicine."
"Liu Yu was probably not sure about throwing stones, but he played a trick, standing up and throwing stones, and first provoked him with words, which made Xu Daofu agree in anger."
"This time he bet all the people who believed in Tianshi Dao, including those who were undecided. This time he bet all their money on Xu Daofu, and he won. Not only did he defeat Xu Daofu, but he also won the competition.
This is the first time I’ve made several times more money!”
Having said this, Liu Linzong sighed: "This person has a natural mind and a keen sense of smell. His performance today exceeded my expectations. He is a good talent."
Yang Linzi gritted his teeth: "With such a talent, how can we not use it? Youdu, if you don't want him this time, then I will recommend him to the imperial court."
Liu Linzong shook his head: "No, not now. Liu Yu belongs to the lowest class of nobles. He is from a humble family. As soon as he is brought into the middle of the court, countless people will attack him. Not to mention others, it is the Diao family. Can we let him go?
?Good steel needs to be tempered and refined, and jade needs to be polished layer by layer. I will arrange his future."
Having said this, Liu Linzong put his hands behind his back and turned around to leave: "Okay, let's see this here today. Tomorrow is May 5th. We can feast our eyes on the legendary Jingkou Competition!"
