"Your Highness, the Second Prince, why do you believe that this stone has a 90% chance of yielding a treasure?" A sudden voice suddenly sounded from the crowd.
"Who? Who is talking below?!" The second prince Zhao Jinliang's face suddenly darkened.
"It's me." Ma Xiaoyao walked out of the crowd.
"Is it you?" Zhao Jinliang was stunned for a moment, then frowned: "Mr. Ma, what do you mean by what you just said? Are you questioning me?"
Ma Xiaoyao smiled slightly: "I didn't mean to question the second prince, I just wanted to make things clear." At this point, Ma Xiaoyao added another sentence: "This stone is worth tens of millions of taels of silver, which is valuable to everyone.
It’s not a small sum. Once I buy it, I will cut it open and find that there is nothing inside... I won’t regret it to death.”
"Mr. Ma is right!"
"Mr. Ma, do you see something? Do you think this stone is a defective product? There is nothing in it at all?"
"Mr. Ma is very knowledgeable about stone gambling, and what he says is definitely not wrong."
"This stone... looks really good, but what's inside... is unknown..."
…
Everyone was whispering and discussing. They had all witnessed Ma Xiaoyao's amazing stone gambling skills with their own eyes, so they were very concerned about what Ma Xiaoyao said.
Seeing that the atmosphere he had worked so hard to create was ruined by Ma Xiaoyao, Zhao Jinliang was almost furious: "Mr. Ma, why do you think this stone is a defective product?! What evidence do you have to prove it!
"
"With my eyes." Just now, when everyone was not paying attention, Ma Xiaoyao secretly reached out and touched the stone. The mysterious bead showed no reaction at all, so Ma Xiaoyao concluded that this stone was a defective product and was made by Zhao Jinliang to fool people.
.
Originally, this matter had nothing to do with Ma Xiaoyao, and there was really no need for him to come forward to expose it. However, Ma Xiaoyao had a grudge against Zhao Jinliang and did not want Zhao Jinliang to make money, so he came forward to stir up trouble. Now it seems that the effect is not bad.
In the final analysis, it was the two gold mines that were the root of the disaster. If Zhao Jinliang hadn't fooled Ma Xiaoyao first, Ma Xiaoyao wouldn't have come out to cause trouble.
"You..." Zhao Jinliang's face turned green with anger. He originally had a good impression of Ma Xiaoyao and even wanted to recruit Ma Xiaoyao to serve as an official in the court. But what he didn't expect was that Ma Xiaoyao would actually jump out to oppose him.
And he still opposed him in front of everyone, making him lose face and unable to get off the stage. After this incident, Zhao Jinliang's good impression of Ma Xiaoyao completely disappeared.
"I also think there is something wrong with this stone!" Zhao Puguang, the crown prince of Daliang Kingdom, pushed through the crowd and walked in.
"Brother! How can you help outsiders to squander me?" Zhao Jinliang said while holding back his anger.
Zhao Puguang shook his head slightly: "I am not interested in the matter but the person. From the beginning, I thought there was something wrong with this stone. I even advised you not to sell it to others, but you didn't listen."
"You..." Zhao Jinliang was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. If Ma Xiaoyao was the only one running against him, he could still hold it back, but with Zhao Puguang... things changed... As we all know, he has always been at odds with Zhao Puguang.
Harmony, because Zhao Jinliang also wants to be a prince, and both brothers want to be emperor, can they be harmonious?
If this matter is not handled well today, his reputation will definitely suffer heavy damage.
In a moment, Zhao Jinliang had an idea in his mind. He took a deep breath, then raised his head and looked at Zhao Puguang with sharp eyes: "Brother, you keep saying there is something wrong with this stone... Then do you dare to fight me?
A bet?"
"Bet? What bet?" Zhao Puguang asked warily.
"Let's make a bet with this stone." Zhao Jinliang reached out and patted the stone beside him: "After this stone is cut, if there is nothing or anything valuable inside, then I lose. If not, then I win. How about it?
Do you dare to make this bet with me?"
"Where's the bet? What's the bet?" Zhao Puguang asked.
"If I win..." Zhao Jinliang raised the corners of his mouth slightly, forming a half-moon shape: "You will withdraw from the battle for the throne, and you will never be able to touch the throne again for the rest of your life. If you win, I will also withdraw from the battle for the throne. How about it, don't you dare?
dare!"
"You..." Zhao Puguang was stunned. He didn't expect Zhao Jinliang to be so crazy and actually gamble with the throne. It's so...crazy!
what to do?
Agree? Or refuse?
If you agree...if you lose, it will be terrible. If you don't agree, your reputation will definitely be ruined.
Faced with a dilemma, Zhao Puguang really didn't know what to choose.
There was a lot of fun today! The people around them opened their eyes wide and raised their ears, waiting for Zhao Puguang's answer. According to their original intention, Zhao Puguang must have agreed. They were eager for the two brothers to fight. Anyway, the more lively it is, the more fun it will be.
The better.
Ma Xiaoyao was also stunned. Originally, he came to trouble Zhao Jinliang, but he didn't know what happened... In the end, it developed into a fight between brothers Zhao Jinliang and Zhao Puguang. It was really nonsense.
"What? You don't dare to agree?" Zhao Jinliang sneered: "Brother, you are too courageous, right?"
Being ridiculed by Zhao Jinliang in public made Zhao Puguang very angry, but he couldn't refute it yet... He really didn't dare to agree... because this bet involved a battle for the throne. It would be okay if he won, but it would be bad if he lost.
Totally awesome.
Huh? How could I forget this guy?
Zhao Puguang raised his head and saw Ma Xiaoyao. An idea flashed in his mind, allowing him to find a solution. He took two steps and came to Ma Xiaoyao, then lowered his posture and asked: "Mr. Ma, what did you say about this stone just now?"
Is it a defective product, are you joking? Or are you serious?"
"Well... well..."
"Please, Mr. Ma, tell the truth."
"I never tell lies."
"Are you sure? Do you really think this stone is defective?"
"Yes." Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "I am 100% sure that this stone is just a flower stand. It looks good on the surface, but in fact it has no value at all. Of course, if His Highness the Crown Prince doesn't believe it, then just treat me as nothing.
explain."
"Are you 100% sure..." After Zhao Puguang hesitated for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, Mr. Ma, I will trust you today. I hope you won't let me down."
Ma Xiaoyao grinned: "Believe me, you will never be disappointed."
After getting Ma Xiaoyao's guarantee, Zhao Puguang felt a little more confident. Ma Xiaoyao could win even an old-timer like Gao Shanshui, so he must have a very high vision. I believe he will not make mistakes.
"Okay! I'll bet with you!" Zhao Puguang said loudly.
"Brother! You will regret what you did today!" Zhao Jinliang laughed: "Before cutting the stone, I will tell you a secret... Not long ago, the senior God of Gamblers personally appraised this stone, and he personally told
I said, this stone is a good stone that is rare to find in a thousand years, and there is a 90% chance that it contains a treasure that is unparalleled in the world."
"What? The God of Gamblers personally appraised it?" Zhao Puguang's face changed instantly and became a little pale. The two words "God of Gamblers" seemed to have great magic power. No matter who heard these two words, they would be involuntarily
He was in awe, even for Zhao Puguang, who was the crown prince.
The crowd around them even exclaimed: "Since the senior God of Gamblers has appraised it, then this stone must be right."
Xing Yajun secretly pulled Ma Xiaoyao and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Ma... you have made a mistake today."
"What do you mean?" Ma Xiaoyao frowned.
"First you provoked and offended the second prince, and then you tricked the prince into gambling with the second prince. Now that the prince is going to lose, he will definitely put all the blame on you. When the time comes, you will also be offended.
The prince and the second prince...the two of them will take revenge on you, and your situation will be dire..." Xing Yajun said: "While the stone has not been cut yet, you can run as far as you want...
Live in seclusion in a deserted place..."
"Haha..." Ma Xiaoyao smiled: "Who said the prince will lose?"
"Didn't you hear that?"
"If the God of Gamblers says there is, there will definitely be it? Who does he think he is?" Ma Xiaoyao curled his lips disdainfully.
"Keep your voice down, don't let others hear it, otherwise you will suffer." Xing Yajun said hurriedly: "Senior God of Gamblers is famous far and wide. From the 95-year-old to the common people, everyone respects him.
I have great respect, and it is no exaggeration to say that Senior God of Gamblers is a myth, a myth that has never been defeated. Since he said that this area has treasures inside, there must be treasures."
"Let the facts speak for themselves." Ma Xiaoyao waved his hand: "After the stone is cut open, you will know whether the God of Gamblers is right or I am right." No matter how powerful the God of Gamblers is, he can have his own mysterious beads.
?Since the mysterious bead does not respond, it means that this stone is a defective product.
"You... you really can't shed tears until you see the coffin." Xing Yajun shook his head helplessly.
…
the other side.
The second prince, Zhao Jinliang, was still taunting Zhao Puguang: "Are you feeling very regretful now? It's too late! You just agreed to bet with me in front of everyone, and now it's impossible to withdraw, unless you are shameless.
"
Zhao Puguang had a sullen face and said nothing. If he had known that this stone had been authenticated by the God of Gamblers, he would definitely not have agreed to gamble. In his eyes, no matter how powerful Ma Xiaoyao was, he was just a rising star and could not compete with Ao Wang in the stone gambling world.
Compared to hundreds of years of gambling gods.
I'm so excited today...
Zhao Puguang was in a very low mood. Losing the bet this time meant losing the throne. He would be a prince at most in the future... Maybe he would be suppressed by Zhao Jinliang for the rest of his life...
