Chapter 475 One thought of life, one thought of death
Lin Zhiqing did this obviously to make him suffer in silence!
Realizing this, the Daliang envoy suppressed his anger.
He looked at the two remaining wooden boxes, and his Adam's apple moved slightly.
Lin Zhiqing smiled and said, "Your Excellency, please."
There was no trace of nervousness between her brows.
All these unfavorable circumstances made the Daliang envoys increasingly uneasy.
That's not the case. He didn't think the situation would become so passive at the beginning.
But it's too late to say anything now, all the pressure has been put on him.
He swallowed and stood in front of the two wooden boxes.
One black and one white, one thought of life and one thought of death.
His wrist trembled slightly, and he reached for the wooden box on his left at an extremely slow speed.
"Da, da, da!"
The envoy from Daliang felt annoyed when he heard the sound.
He turned to look at Lin Zhiqing and found that Lin Zhiqing was tapping the table lightly.
"What are you doing? Are you trying to disrupt my rhythm?" He couldn't help but blame Lin Zhiqing.
Lin Zhiqing raised his hand, opened his big watery eyes and said:
"Your Excellency, the rules don't say you can't touch the table."
There was nothing wrong with what he said. The envoy from Daliang choked and put down the box he had just picked up.
His gaze turned to the wooden box on the right. This time, as soon as he reached out his hand, he felt someone shaking it.
When I turned around, it was indeed Lin Zhiqing!
He couldn't stand it any longer and said, "Lin Zhiqing! You, you..."
He kept talking for a long time but couldn't say anything.
The people on the side became a little impatient and started to speak up.
"Is the envoy afraid? Why does he keep avoiding the subject?"
"What do you know? This crucial choice must be carefully considered."
"Consider? What are you considering? There are only two left. Can't you just be more decisive like Lin Zhiqing did just now?"
Hearing these words, the Daliang envoy felt even more irritated.
He couldn't help but turn his head and look at the people around him with a coercive look.
Although the people around him were not afraid of him, they eventually quieted down.
Lin Zhiqing looked at the Daliang envoy leisurely.
Most people may not understand what the Daliang envoy is struggling with, but Lin Zhiqing knows it very well in his heart.
What the Daliang envoy cared about was essentially the bet, namely the three spies from Daliang.
He was arrogant before because he thought he could afford it and at least bring back two spies.
But now, he only had one piece of white jade and could only save one person.
If he drew the black jade, even if he saved one person, he would still lose to Lin Zhiqing and Dasheng.
Losing face for Daliang? Then can he still go back?
It just so happened that the most crucial draw was made by the envoy from Daliang, and the winner would be decided after he drew.
There is a fifty percent chance that drawing white is an honor, while drawing black is a shame.
Lin Zhiqing is more daring than him and can withstand other people's abuse, but she is always the only one who stands up.
Even if you lose, others can only satisfy their curiosity.
But the envoy from Daliang is different. He is concerned about the reputation of Daliang and has more concerns than Lin Zhiqing.
The purpose and needs are different, so the psychological state will also be different.
Lin Zhiqing stared quietly at the Daliang envoy, folded his hands in front of him, and tapped the back of his left hand lightly with his right middle finger.
The action made almost no sound.
But the worst thing was that the envoy from Daliang could see her movements.
The human brain is divergent, and after seeing the action, the mind will naturally fill in the sound and missing things.
At this time, the Daliang envoy felt like there was a pocket watch shaking constantly in his mind, and he never knew when it would fall off.
Lin Zhiqing was waiting for the moment when the pocket watch in the Daliang envoy's mind would fall.
The Daliang envoy didn't know that Lin Zhiqing had come up with this idea. His chest gradually became heavier and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his head.
The tense feeling in his mind was transmitted to his limbs, making his arms numb and numb.
He held his breath and looked around at the two wooden boxes again.
Left or right?
"Da, da, da!"
He turned his head suddenly, but Lin Zhiqing did nothing. He just stood on the left and looked at him calmly.
Seeing him looking over, Lin Zhiqing smiled.
No, that's not a smile!
That's a provocation!
The Daliang envoy could no longer get rid of the various noises in his mind.
He shook his head and forced himself to make a decision in his mind.
He reached out and picked up the wooden box on his left.
Then, the people of Daliang suddenly flashed through his mind.
His hands began to shake again.
No, on the right!
He quickly put down the wooden box on his left and picked up the one on his right.
But the enormous pressure made him dare not open the box at all.
The Daliang envoy looked around.
The people from Daliang who followed him directly frowned and looked at him, as if he had committed a capital crime if he didn't get white jade.
Other people from Dasheng also leaned against him and urged him on from time to time.
This kind of psychological pressure from the majority to the minority is enormous.
He couldn't help but raise his hand and pinch the bridge of his nose.
Then he took a deep breath and slowly placed his hand on the lid of the box.
three!
two
one!
"Your Excellency!" Lin Zhiqing smiled faintly: "Have you made up your mind?"
The Daliang envoy's actions were interrupted and he looked at Lin Zhiqing with a frown.
Lin Zhiqing stared at the wooden box motionlessly, pursed his lips slightly, and clenched his fists.
These actions... the Daliang envoy frowned. Does this mean that the box contains white jade, which is why Lin Zhiqing is anxious?
No, that's not right!
This woman is so cunning, how could she make such an obvious expression.
Lin Zhiqing wanted to confuse him!
Yes, that's it!
The sense of faith in the Daliang envoy's heart collapsed.
He held the wooden box tightly, not having the courage to open it.
Lin Zhiqing smiled softly:
"Your Excellency, I heard that your country once sent a painter to Dasheng for exchange. It would be a wonderful thing if today's scene could be recorded."
Painter!
Hearing these two words, the Daliang envoy's dormant memories came flooding back like a tide.
There was indeed a painter who came to Dasheng once, but his paintings were not as good as those of the Dasheng people. After returning to Daliang...
No, I can't disappear!
The Daliang envoy realized that Lin Zhiqing was deliberately releasing pressure, but he couldn't help but be affected.
What was originally a very sure win has now become obviously not as simple as winning or losing.
He took a slight step back.
But there was nothing we could do, no one stopped us.
He could only bite the bullet and hold the wooden box tightly in his hand and take another deep breath.
The wooden box in his hand was like a death warrant, making him feel tense and terrified.
What should I do? What should I do if I draw a black jade?
The tremendous psychological pressure has made him doubt the wooden box in front of him.
The probability of half is very high, but also very small.
There is no other way, I can only go ahead and do it!
He gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and reached for the wooden box again.
