Chapter 472: Superiority Trap
"Your Excellency, this is my first time playing a game like this. Could you please let me start first?" Lin Zhiqing lowered his eyebrows, pursed his lips, and looked a little nervous.
The Daliang envoy paced slowly. "I've heard that you in Dasheng believe that everyone who comes is a guest. Since I'm a guest, let me start first."
"As the host, Miss Lin Er shouldn't compete with me for it, right?"
Lin Zhiqing pursed his lips: "Your Excellency, I..."
The Daliang envoy interrupted her and spoke directly to the prince:
"Your Highness, what do you think?"
The prince glanced at Lin Zhiqing and nodded slowly: "The envoy is the guest, so the guest should come first!"
Hearing this, the Daliang envoy raised his chin slightly, and Lin Zhiqing's eyes showed some grievance and uneasiness.
Seeing this, the Daliang envoy walked around Lin Zhiqing twice as if to show off, and reached out to take the wooden box on the left.
Lin Zhiqing stretched his neck, looking very expectant.
The Daliang envoy's hand was about to fall, but as if he was teasing Lin Zhiqing, he changed direction and picked up the wooden box on the far right.
Lin Zhiqing's eyes tightened and his whole body straightened.
Seeing her reaction, the Daliang envoy felt more confident and opened the box calmly.
"White jade, it's white jade!" Someone who saw it first couldn't help but shout.
The envoy from Daliang drew the white jade!
This means that there are only two pieces of white jade left.
Among Qin Hu and the other two, one must die!
The Daliang envoy was stunned for a moment, then curled his lips and casually took the white jade out of the wooden box.
He held the white jade in his hand and played with it, looking at Lu Huai and Lin Zhiqing from time to time.
His eyes seemed to say, Look, your tricks are in vain.
Lin Zhiqing's body trembled slightly.
Qin Hu and the other two couldn't help but purse their lips. This was certainly not a good result.
As for Lu Huai, his expression did not change, but he was thinking about Lin Zhiqing's intention in his heart.
Just before officially starting to select the wooden box, Lin Zhiqing glanced at him, and that look was asking Lu Huai to cooperate with her.
So, Lu Huai went on stage and did that.
He didn't know whether the box on the far right contained white jade or black jade, so he could only perform the actions that Lin Zhiqing wanted.
Lu Huai was not sure what Lin Zhiqing was thinking, so he could only calculate the various possibilities of choosing the wooden box in his mind.
If the game had not started yet, there would be a total of six jades. Lin Zhiqing would draw twenty possibilities, and the probability of drawing three white and zero black or three black and zero white was 5%.
The probability of drawing two whites and one black or one black and two whites is 45%.
If Lin Zhiqing could hear what Lu Huai was thinking, he would definitely realize that this li represents a percentage.
But based on Lu Huai's current thinking, no matter which possibility it is, Lin Zhiqing has already lost the opportunity to save Qin Hu and the other two.
Because the Daliang envoy had already drawn a white jade, the best possibility left for Lin Zhiqing was to draw two white jades.
When Lu Huai thought about this, worries surged in his heart like a tide.
He knew very well that Lin Zhiqing's defeat today would turn into slander and abuse, and become a tool for others to attack Lin Zhiqing.
"Miss Lin Er, it's your turn." The Daliang envoy waved his hand and made a "please" gesture.
Lin Zhiqing pursed his lips, his hands trembling slightly, and he looked a little lacking in confidence.
She hesitated for a long time, but still couldn't make up her mind which wooden box to choose.
The Daliang people who came with the Daliang envoy were already losing patience: "It's not that far, it's boring."
"Why rush? That woman has already lost once. She only has two white jades left. The possibility of her picking the white jade is very small."
"That's right, a woman is nothing to be afraid of."
Hearing these words, the Daliang envoy raised his chin high and looked at Lin Zhiqing, as if he was about to cry at the next moment and was of no use.
Amidst the different looks, Lin Zhiqing seemed to have finally made up his mind and chose the wooden box on the far left.
She picked up the wooden box, looking very nervous and not daring to open it.
Others couldn't wait any longer and began to urge them on.
Lin Zhiqing closed his eyes and suddenly opened the box.
The people of Dasheng stood up one after another and stretched their necks to look towards Lin Zhiqing.
The same goes for Lin Shian and others.
Lu Huai didn't see the jade in the box, but he couldn't help but clench his fists.
Because he saw the envoy from Daliang laughing.
"Black jade is black!"
Someone shouted, and everyone in Dasheng sat back in their original seats in disappointment.
Lin Zhiqing held the box and looked down at the black jade in the box with an indecipherable expression.
The Daliang envoy shook his head. "Tsk, it seems Miss Lin's luck isn't very good. She just drew a black jade. This gives me an opportunity."
"Thank you, Miss Lin Er!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the anger in the hearts of the people of Dasheng was completely ignited.
However, their anger was not directed at the Daliang envoys who oppressed and mocked them, but instead at Lin Zhiqing.
"I always say that women can't accomplish great things!"
"Heiyu, this is a disgrace to our Dasheng!"
"Why let Lin Zhiqing go? She is a calamity star that brings bad luck to her father and mother. How can she have any good luck?"
At this moment, the indignant people seemed to have forgotten that the reason why Lin Zhiqing stood up was because no one except Lin Qingshan stood up to fight!
Even the crown prince, who never showed his emotions, frowned slightly.
"What are you guys arguing about? Why didn't you go up there yourself?" Lin Yangyang couldn't help but stand up.
"Especially you, Princess Pingning, who wants to show off so much, go up there and talk about my sister Qing all the time."
"That's right!" Lu Nanyue also rolled up her sleeves: "No one is allowed to slander Xiao Qing'er today!"
The two men's voices were not loud, but everyone could feel the anger contained in them.
Princess Pingning was so embarrassed by Lin Yangyang's lecture that she retorted directly:
"What? You won't let anyone say anything after you drew the black jade? You Lin family are really overbearing."
After Princess Pingning spoke up, the others couldn't help but complain.
The voices of Lin Yangyang and Lu Nanyue were immediately drowned out by the voices of others.
Lin Zhiqing turned a deaf ear to it, put the wooden box containing the black jade aside, and observed the remaining four wooden boxes.
Since the Daliang envoy was the first to choose the box, according to the rules, it is now Lin Zhiqing's turn to designate who will draw the wooden box first in the next round.
Lin Zhiqing narrowed his eyes and looked at the envoy from Daliang.
The Daliang envoy had an undisguised smile on his face, as if he was sure that luck was on his side.
His feet were far apart, his shoulders dropped, the corners of his eyes turned up, and he took a sip of the wine from his follower.
Seeing this, Lin Zhiqing retracted his gaze and said:
"Your Excellency the Envoy has come a long way. Since you are so lucky, why don't you choose the second round as well?"
Upon hearing this, the Daliang envoy frowned.
Why did he feel that Lin Zhiqing was a little different?
