Since she proposed to bet, Bai Yuelu had naturally thought of what the prize would be.
She looked at Qi Zhuji's sneer and said with a smile: "If I win, when I want you to help deliver the letter, you will also deliver the letter for me."
"Deliver the message for you? So I became a special messenger?" Qi Zhuji glared at Lin Yi beside him and did not refuse the proposal. Then he thought about it and said: "If I win, you can accompany me."
Do I practice?"
Bai Yuelu looked at Qi Zhuji with a half-smile, and said, "What kind of practice?"
"Let's compete and learn from each other." Qi Zhuji said: "What kind of practice can you do?"
Bai Yuelu said: "It's simple."
Qi Zhuji glanced at her and said, "Then it's settled."
Once it’s settled, it’s settled.
Neither of them likes to talk too much.
People who spend more time thinking will not spend more time talking.
Moreover, the smarter people are, the more they are on guard against each other, and the more they are able to explain things clearly in one sentence that others may need to explain in a few sentences.
Talking too much will lead to mistakes. Many people think that talking too much will easily expose their shortcomings.
So smart people tend to listen rather than talk endlessly.
But Lin Yi seems to be an exception.
"Should we also take a gamble?" Lin Yi looked at the somewhat proud Bai Yuelu and said.
"Is it just this matter?" Bai Yuelu was slightly startled.
"It's just about Jiange, but I want to bet on it." Lin Yi said quietly, "Because I really want people like Jiange to come out."
"Are you an idiot?" Qi Zhuji looked at Lin Yi with disdain and blurted out these words almost instantly.
Bai Yuelu herself bet with him on energy, but now Lin Yi wants to bet on energy. In his opinion, this kind of proposal is really idiotic. How could Bai Yuelu accept it?
But Bai Yuelu didn't think so.
She first thought Lin Yi's proposal was interesting.
From some aspects, it is once again confirmed that Lin Yi's thoughts are indeed different from those of ordinary people sometimes.
Secondly, everything has two sides. She knew very well that although she was somewhat certain, she was not absolutely certain.
So if she accepts Lin Yi's bet, then at least she can win between Lin Yi and Qi Zhuji.
"Okay." Bai Yuelu laughed and looked at Lin Yi, "What kind of bonus do you want?"
"I want a footwork." Lin Yi said seriously: "It would be best if it doesn't require the use of real energy, but it is as effective as the ghost step that Li Moxiao knows."
"There's no problem with that." Bai Yuelu stopped her smile and looked curiously at Lin Yi's worried brows because of the problem with the sword pavilion, "But how are you sure that I have such footwork?"
"I heard someone from the Jiange said that you don't seem to be very interested in the cultivation techniques of the Jiange. You don't even like the techniques of the Jiange. Of course you have better techniques." Lin Yi said:
"You don't usually use your true energy very much, but you really don't make any sound when you walk, and you are extremely light. You should have practiced some martial arts related to the lower body."
"Awesome." Bai Yuelu praised sincerely.
Listening to the conversation between Bai Yuelu and Lin Yi, Qi Zhuji took a deep breath.
He was hit hard again.
"Then what lottery do you want?" Lin Yi asked.
Bai Yuelu thought for a moment, then said seriously: "Let someone go once, don't ask me why... If in the future, on the battlefield, or while executing military orders, an enemy falls into my hands, and I want to let that person go, you
So let him go."
Lin Yi frowned. This kind of lottery seemed a bit complicated, or a bit uneconomical.
"I was betting before. In my opinion, there is a higher chance that people like Jiange can follow Tie Cejun." Bai Yuelu looked at Lin Yi who was a little hesitant and said, "You can take advantage of me.
It’s normal to take advantage.”
"Okay." Lin Yi thought for a moment, nodded in agreement without any further hesitation.
The somewhat overcrowded carriage became speechless and silent again.
All three people closed their eyes, each thinking.
Of course, Lin Yi is a very smart person. Even Bai Yuelu feels that Lin Yi is as smart as few others, and Lin Yi can find new ways to deal with many things. The actions of such a person are even more difficult to figure out, like water flowing in an unpredictable manner.
Of course, Qi Zhuji and Bai Yuelu are also very smart people. In a sense, the way they think about problems and the way they do things are more like the kind of senior officials who have been in power for a long time, and they are more thoughtful and cautious.
Even though the time she had been in contact with Bai Yuelu was still short, even Qi Zhuji could feel Bai Yuelu's kindness towards Lin Yi.
As long as they can absolutely trust each other and become friends like Lin Yi and Xiao Suxin, even Qi Zhuji knows that there is still a thin layer of window paper between herself and Lin Yi that has not been broken.
Pure exchange of interests and mutual overtures are not enough.
A real opportunity to live and die together is needed.
…
The journey back to Luoshui City was peaceful.
On a roadside that was still five days away from Luoshui City, when night fell and the horse team was camping and resting, Bai Yuelu saw a black eagle flying in the sky.
She knew then that the outcome of the bet had been decided.
In the Southern Dynasty, her news may not be more comprehensive or faster than that of the Chen family and the Xiao family, but what she is proud of is that her news is even faster than that of the Qi family.
.
A little later, Qi Zhuji received a secret note.
When he opened the seal, his eyes were filled with disbelief.
Qi Zhuji rarely acts out of emotion.
He bets he can't, but he really thinks he can't.
Even if the Chen family could really make the emperor change his mind, it would never be possible so quickly.
But it was so fast.
"Lin Yi, come here."
His voice broke the tranquility of the roadside in the night.
"You win."
"You win too."
He said something to Lin Yi who came after hearing the sound, and then said the same thing to Bai Yuelu, who already knew what happened.
"Is it Jiange?"
Lin Yi looked at Qi Zhuji's face and began to guess what had happened, and her breathing stopped unconsciously.
Qi Zhuji took a deep breath and nodded slowly, "The emperor has issued a decree for everyone in Jiange to transfer to Tiece Army, but they cannot transfer or leave Tiece Army for life. According to the normal speed, on the 15th
On the left and right, there will be people coming to Jiange to announce the decree. There will also be people coming to Tiece Army to announce the decree, so that you can send troops to accept it."
Listening to such words, Lin Yi knew that every word Qi Zhuji said was true, but he also couldn't believe it, and even trembled: "How could this happen?"
"Unless the Xiao family also takes action." Qi Zhuji looked at Bai Yuelu and said softly.
He saw that Bai Yuelu was not surprised, so Bai Yuelu should have known the news earlier than he did.
Bai Yuelu smiled.
She also achieved another goal of hers, she made Qi Zhuji more sure that she was from the Xiao family.
It's just that Qi Zhuji guessed wrong.
Including people who can make the emperor issue decrees.
