The crisp sound of cracking stones made everyone at the scene quiet down. After several hours of stone cutting, there were high-end lunch boxes sent by the hotel in the middle. Everyone could go to the bathroom next to the lobby if it was convenient, so from the beginning to the end, there was no other choice but to leave quietly.
No one outside of Zhao Xichen had ever gone out.
The reason why everyone stayed here was not because the solution to the stone was wonderful, but because these people were also witnesses of the bet. At the fifth blow, everyone could have announced the failure of the Zhao family, but no one spoke, and everyone wanted to know about the last two blows.
What will be the result of cutting it off?
Four stone slabs fell on the platform, gray and gray, just like all the previous cuts. There was no green or emerald at all. The stone was so ordinary that it was not even suitable for Dangbao Kanshi.
"Heaven...heaven is going to destroy my Zhao family...heaven, why...why are you so cruel..."
The corners of Zhao Cheng's eyes were already cracked, and two streams of blood flowed down from the white hair on his cheeks. Looking at his terrifying look, Zhang Xingyao, who had never seen killing before, couldn't help but clutch Xiao Jiang's clothes. On the contrary, Guan Xiaoling was very calm.
Zhao Cheng trembled and turned his head, looking at Xiao Jiang with his scarlet eyes. Xiao Jiang took out a cigarette, lit it and said faintly:
"I've reminded you three times. The old man is so stubborn. Alas... you have a broken heart and it's hard for the gods to save you. But at least you have lived for more than a hundred years. Death is a happy event. If you have any last words, tell your descendants as soon as possible.
Otherwise, you won’t have a chance to say anything in ten minutes.”
Zhao Cheng let the blood and tears flow. He glanced at Zhao Mu who was supporting him and shook his head:
"We shouldn't have promised that person. It's too late. Greed and lack of greed have caused the Zhao family to decline. I don't know how long it will take to be glorious again.
After this incident, I hope that the Zhao family can remember that if they want to be prosperous, they have to rely on themselves. No matter how big the pie that outsiders draw, they still have to live to eat it.
Mu'er, as the head of the family, I don't expect you to be able to revive the Zhao family, but remember, don't have any contact with that person."
Zhao Mu, who is also already old, smiled bitterly and said:
"Father, once the documents are signed, I guess the rest of the Zhao family will be fine. There will be no chance in the future."
Zhao Cheng sighed, and the tree fell and the hozens scattered. Why didn't he know this? He forced a smile and nodded:
"It doesn't matter, it's just that you want to save your lives, so it seems you really need to beg him."
Zhao Cheng looked at where Xiao Jiang was. He signaled Zhao Mu to let go and walked step by step in front of Xiao Jiang. Seeing this scene, all the spectators were stunned. What did the ancestor of the Zhao family want to do? Revenge, he was already like this
When the oil is gone and the lamp is dry, it is estimated that even the chickens will not be killed.
"Plop."
Zhao Cheng knelt directly in front of Xiao Jiang. There were more and more blood and tears in the corners of his eyes. Xiao Jiang looked at him and he remained unchanged as before. Zhao Cheng kowtowed three times respectfully and then looked at Xiao Jiang and said:
"Mr. Xiao, I am an old and dying man. I beg you on my knees to protect the Zhao family and prevent future generations from being cut off. I am willing to hand over the last treasure of the Zhao family."
Xiao Jiang shook the cigarette ashes and held his chin and said:
"Didn't I say it before? If you, the Zhao family, beg me, you probably won't be able to pay me."
"Cough cough cough..."
Zhao Cheng began to cough, and blood continued to gush out from the corners of his mouth, but he still knelt straight on the ground. He took out a jade pendant from his arms, raised it with both hands above his head, and handed it to Xiao Jiang and said:
"The Nine-Dragon Jade Pendant is a gift. I hope you can save me, sir."
Xiao Jiang looked at the jade pendant silently. This jade is a piece of top-grade mutton-fat white jade. It feels extremely warm and moist even without touching it. It even gives people a fresh and peaceful atmosphere just by looking at it.
Xiao Jiang touched his chin and said:
"This thing, Mr. Zhao, your gift is very good, but if I take it, it will be a big trouble. I estimate that this thing should be a key to a certain place. Maybe someone will be looking for it at this time."
The existence of this thing, are you so sure that I will help your Zhao family for this thing?"
Zhao Cheng shook his head and said:
"I don't ask sir to save my entire Zhao family. I just need to leave a few blood descendants of my family. I only know that this thing is a treasure. If I want to find out what this thing is, maybe Zhao Xichen can do it."
Xiao Jiang took the jade pendant calmly and said:
"Have you considered who to save? I can give you ten places, including you. Come to me later to receive the talisman."
"talisman..."
Zhao Cheng's blood-red eyes widened and his breathing quickened. He said hurriedly as if he had thought of something incredible:
"Ten, that's enough, that's enough. I have two sons, three grandsons and wives, plus four grandsons and grandsons, plus me, it's exactly ten."
Xiao Jiang ignored the shocked faces of the onlookers. He flicked his fingers and poured a stream of true energy into Zhao Cheng's heart. In less than three seconds, Zhao Cheng spat out a mouthful of solidified, dirty blood, and the blood in his eyes dissipated in the blink of an eye like an ebbing tide.
After thinking for a while, he said calmly:
"Get up. Before we leave Kunming in the afternoon, you and the person you chose go to my hotel room. I have to make the talisman. Unless someone bombs you with missiles, I can save your life. If you are with
I am within a hundred miles of each other, so I can protect you from death."
Zhao Cheng nodded hurriedly and stood up. He cupped his fists at Guan Tong with a wry smile and said:
"Congratulations to the head of the Guan family. The Zhao family has been defeated. Later, Quanzi will hand over the stores in various places to the Guan family. Let's go discuss the follow-up matters first and see you later."
Guan Tong did not feel the joy after the victory. He just smiled and clasped his fists and said:
"Senior Zhao, we are all nothing but ants at the mercy of others. If it weren't for Xiao Jiang, the Guan family might be even worse off than you are."
"Oh...yes, I'll resign then."
Zhao Cheng greeted the others to leave, while Zhao Mu and Guan went to the law firm to handle various documents. Others at the scene saw that there was no excitement and walked out of the door.
Xiao Jiang reached the platform and held his original stone in his hands, with a smile finally showing on his face.
"Husband, what are you laughing at? Is it because you defeated the Zhao family today?"
Xiao Jiang grinned at Zhang Xingyao and pointed at the irregular round rough stone in his hand and said:
"In the entire auction, everyone looked at all the rough stones, but no one looked at this rough stone carefully. If I had been more careful, I might have spent hundreds of millions more to buy this rough stone."
Zhang Xingyao didn't understand stone gambling, even though she had played with Xiao Jiang several times. Guan Xiaoling had been exposed to stone gambling since she was a child, and she was very experienced in stone gambling. However, after looking at the original stone, she still shook her head and said:
"I can also see that this piece of material must be in stock, but it won't be too big. Even if it is the best glass, it is only worth 20 to 30 million at most. A bid of 13 million without a window is already considered too high.
If it’s missing, is there anything special about the surface of this rough stone?”
