Chapter 540
Hearing Zhang Xiaohua's words, Chen Fengxiao was elated. He nodded and said, "Since you have said so, I will not decline. Please come closer."
Zhang Xiaohua went forward and listened to Chen Fengxiao explain the arrangements in a low voice.
After hearing Chen Fengxiao's arrangements, Zhang Xiaohua had a strange look on her face. She asked curiously, "Head Chen, your arrangements are indeed marvelous, but yesterday Wu Dalang …"
Without waiting for Chen Fengxiao to speak, Qiu Wei Cheng interrupted, "Head Chen, everyone says that I am the strategist of the Grass Division of Tian Mu Peak. Only today did I know that you are the real brains of the Grass Division."
The flattery brought Chen Fengxiao out of his gloominess and a smile appeared on his face.
Qiu Wei Cheng saw that Zhang Xiaohua still did not quite understand. He smiled and said, "Little brother, think about it. Yesterday in the dining hall, although all the conflicts were caused by little brother, and Wu Dalang from the Dan Department also pointed the spearhead of the bet at little brother, have you thought about it? If you were to fight against ten of the Dan Department's Ten Great Vajras one by one, would you be willing?
That is a tag-team battle. Not to mention whether you are the strongest opponents, you would be exhausted to death. "
Zhang Xiaohua curled her lips and disagreed, "That may not be the case. Each of these ten people is worth fifty taels of gold. I can't wait for them to fight me together!"
Qiu Wei Cheng continued, "Brother Ren is a disciple of the Grass Division and has entrusted Head Chen to arrange everything. Isn't this raising Brother Ren's matter to the Grass Division?
Since it is a battle between the Grass Division and the Pill Division, Head Chen's arrangement is reasonable. "
Immediately, Zhang Xiaohua understood and gave a thumbs up, "Head Chen is indeed amazing. I believe that Wu Dalang is racking his brains on who will fight in the afternoon?"
"No, no," Chen Fengxiao shook his head and laughed, "That is not racking his brains, that is being overwrought!"
Zhang Xiaohua and Qiu Wei Cheng heard and laughed, "Yes, yes."
That's right. Usually, when the Pill Department and the Grass Department fought, the stakes were always pills. Although these things were hard currency, the Pill Department was in charge of refining pills. Wouldn't everyone have some pills in their hands?
Even though he had won some herbs from the Grass Division, they were only materials for refining pills, so they weren't that attractive. But this time, the prize for the bet was actually … actually a Golden Leaf. Not to mention going up on stage, just listening to it was enough to make him drool to the ground.
When the Ten Great Guardian Deities heard that the gambling match was going to start this afternoon and that Zhang Xiaohua was going to fight, they all came to Wu Dalang's hall early in the morning to fight for the opportunity to be the first to fight.
Cheng Shi opened his mouth and complained, "Dalang, please give me a chance. You didn't see how miserable I was yesterday. Oh, right, my mouth is still swollen. The fifty taels of gold that I received was taken back by that brat. If you don't let me go up on stage and teach that brat a lesson, how can I swallow this?"
Wu Dalang was helpless. He stared at Cheng Shi for a long time and said, "Weren't you beaten up badly enough yesterday?
Why are you still thinking of getting beaten up today?
Since you weren't a match for them yesterday, won't you be beaten up today?
If you lost yesterday, then so be it. But today, you are representing the Pill Department. Can you do it? "
Cheng Shi patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Dalang. Yesterday was just an accident. I didn't expect that brat to dare to hit me. Those people from the Grass Department have always been bowing and scraping in the dining hall. Who knew that he … Hehe, since we are going to fight today, I will do my best. I will definitely win glory for the Pill Department!"
Before he finished speaking, a person walked in and pulled him aside. He mocked, "How is your martial arts? Why don't I know? If you can succeed, I will naturally have a better chance of beating that brat. Won't I have more confidence if I go up on stage?
Don't you think so, Dalang? "
When Cheng Shi saw the person who came, he didn't dare to refute. He only said, "Oh, Brother Jiu is here?
Didn't you go down the mountain yesterday? Why are you back so early today? "
Brother Jiu saw Cheng Shi and said with a smile, "Last night, I heard the news that you were beaten up. Which of the Ten Great Guardian Deities of the Pill Department isn't a person who can do whatever he wants on Tianmu Peak?
A brat from the Grass Department actually dared to touch a tiger's butt. How can Brother Jiu not stand up for you?
Just you wait and see how I deal with him. "
Cheng Shi's face was bitter. Didn't he come early in the morning to block the door of Wu Zhou Ruins so that he could get the spot to go up on stage without anyone knowing?
Since Brother Jiu who went out had returned, there was no need to talk about the others. He could only turn his head and say, "Dalang, since Brother Jiu is willing to stand up for me, then I won't dare to snatch this opportunity from Brother Jiu. But … I was injured yesterday. The golden leaves that Brother Jiu obtained … Hehe, can you consider giving me some?"
Before Wu Dalang could say anything, another voice came from outside the door, "Brother Jiu, you're wrong. Since it's a gambling fight, the prize should belong to the person who goes up on stage. As for your injuries, you can use elixirs to make up for them."
The three of them raised their heads. The person who came in was Brother Jiu of the Ten Great Guardian Deities. Brother Jiu looked at Brother Jiu and Cheng Shi, cupped his hands and said, "You two brothers are really early. I thought I was the first to come."
When the two of them saw him come in, they naturally knew what was going on. They returned the greeting in a bad mood.
Brother Jiu said to Wu Zhou Ruins, "Dalang, the person for the gambling fight with that brat from the Grass Division hasn't been decided yet. If the two of them go up, how can it be safer than if I go up?
You should let me go up. "
Looking at Brother Jiu who rushed over, Wu Zhou Ruins' face was expressionless. He said weakly, "Forget it. Don't argue for now. Let's discuss again when your brothers are here …"
Sure enough, not long after, the Ten Great Guardian Deities of the Pill Division, who usually only appeared at noon, all appeared in the hall.
The ten of them looked at each other and chuckled. They didn't say anything else. They found chairs and sat down, quietly waiting for Wu Zhou Ruins to speak.
Just as Chen Fengxiao said, Wu Zhou Ruins was indeed in a terrible fix. If they let Cheng Shi go up on stage, although it would be justified, this guy didn't have the slightest bit of confidence. The possibility of him being kicked out was higher. However, if they let the boss who had the greatest confidence go up on stage, the other Eight Great Guardian Deities would also be dissatisfied.
Sigh, nonsense. That was fifty taels of gold. It wasn't an ordinary elixir.
Looking at the Ten Great Guardian Deities sitting in two rows below him, then looking at the desire in their eyes and the enmity in their eyes, Wu Zhou Ruins smiled bitterly, "This Jin Zi is really a bastard."
After thinking for a moment, Wu Zhou Ruins couldn't think of a good idea. It was obvious that whoever went up would offend the others. He could only clear his throat and say, "Brothers, I know why everyone is here today. There's no need to say anything. I can't tell who's going up and who's not. Let's do the same as before. Let's draw lots."
Everyone looked at each other. The boss stood up first and said, "Dalang, we used to draw lots. This is too unoriginal. Moreover, this kid from the Grass Division actually dared to slap our Pill Division on the face on his first day here. We must regain our face. In this first round, we must show our imposing manner, show our might, show our … spirit. Haha. Therefore, I think that we must send someone who we have absolute confidence in. Only then can we let that kid know the power of our Pill Division.
What do you think? "Before Wu Zhou Ruins could say anything, the Second Brother beside him was dissatisfied. He jumped out and said," Don't worry, Big Brother. Why use a butcher's knife to kill a chicken?
Let Second Brother do this. I'm also very confident. Really, I've practiced a few special skills these few days. It's just nice to let that kid see how powerful I am. "
The boss smiled and said, "Second Brother, it's not that I'm looking down on you. This first round concerns the face of our Pill Division. Why don't you show me your special skills first, then we'll talk about going up on stage?"
How could Second Brother back down? He rolled up his sleeves and said, "Then let Dalang see who's the most suitable!"
Seeing that the two of them were about to fight, Wu Zhouxu shouted, "Sit down. I haven't finished speaking. What's the matter?
Isn't it just fifty taels of gold? Look at all of you. You only have gold in your eyes. Don't you have brothers? "
"Hehe." The two of them laughed and sat down.
Third Brother and the others also wanted to speak. Wu Zhouxu quickly raised his hand and said, "Stop, all of you stop. Let me finish."
Everyone could only sit down. Wu Zhouxu said, "I know that everyone wants to contribute to our Pill Division. But after all, this first round is very important. I've already chosen someone who has absolute confidence in …"
Hearing this, the boss puffed out his chest and said, "Then let's do as Dalang says. I'll definitely support Dalang."
Everyone shushed him.
Wu Zhouxu said again, "But since everyone wants to be the first to go on stage, and our Pill Division is very democratic, I've decided to draw lots for the first round …" Seeing that everyone was about to speak again, he quickly waved his hand and said, "But for this drawing of lots, we'll take the first round. We'll talk about the other nine rounds separately!"
Everyone was stunned. Then, they muttered in their hearts, "What's the difference between this and taking all ten rounds together?"
Seeing that no one spoke, Wu Zhouxu smiled and said, "Since everyone doesn't object, then it's decided. However, there's one more thing. The first round's prize is fifty taels of gold. I know that some of us don't have enough elixirs. If it's a normal day, our Pill Division can help pay for it. But not today. If anyone doesn't have enough elixirs, say it now. Don't lose when the time comes and you can't take it out."
A few of the ten people were dumbfounded. In the past, they had the support of the Pill Division. Even if they didn't have enough elixirs, they could still go on stage. Today …
But after a long while, no one withdrew.
Wu Zhouxu could only say, "Cheng Shi, you go and prepare the drawing of lots."
Not long after, Cheng Shi brought the rolled up paper and said, "Dalang, there's only one with ink in it. Whoever draws it will get it."
"Mm, okay."
Wu Zhouxu took the paper and counted it carefully. He frowned and asked, "Why did you only draw ten lots?"
