Onlookers had originally expected a fierce battle between the two green crickets, but unexpectedly "Super Autumn Hall" sent out such a disheveled cricket. In contrast, "Tiger Crazy Xu Chu" has a square head and broad body, with a deep blue aura surrounding it, its large pincers are at least one circle larger than its opponent's. Can these two insects even fight? They're not even in the same league!

  Of course, there are also knowledgeable people who secretly nod in agreement with Zhou's plan, using the weakest to defeat the strongest of the opponent, no matter what, it is strategically correct.

  With Old Feng's shout of "Start!", the two crickets began to move towards the middle line.

  "Hu Chi Xu Chu" flapped its wings, letting out a screech like iron striking stone. "Shu General Liao Hua" heard the call and shrank back half a head, frightened. It was a hook-headed bird, not highly skilled in martial arts, but with extensive experience, vaguely aware that the opponent in front of it was more formidable than any fierce insect it had ever encountered before.

  The trick of the turtle is to escape when it can't win, "Shu General Liao Hua" didn't wait for his opponent to come over and turned around to run away. Unexpectedly, "Tiger Crazy Xu Chu" was even faster, as soon as "Shu General Liao Hua" turned around, "Tiger Crazy Xu Chu" rushed up fiercely, blocked his waist with a pair of pincers, then shook his head, and "Shu General Liao Hua" fell into the basin, rolled over twice, and six legs kicked a few times before stopping completely.

  Carefully looking, "Shu General Liao Hua" belly burst open a big mouth, internal organs overflowed, died!

  The onlookers fell silent for a moment, with only suppressed gasps of breath. "Tiger-crazy Xu Chu" was too ruthless, and he killed him with one blow.

  Tang Xiaosan and Hu Tong were so grief-stricken that they shed tears, as these birds had been raised by them for several days, and they did not expect them to die such a miserable death!

  The slender scholar picked up the insects and put them in a jar, which he placed in a wooden box. He handed it to his servant, who carried it away. The scholar bowed to Zhou Xuan and said, "We'll meet again tomorrow at three o'clock." Then he floated away.

  "Super Autumn War Hall" is losing face both upstairs and downstairs, as soon as it opened, someone came to give a warning shot, this first defeat was miserable, the next two games are probably hopeless, the signs don't look good.

  Only Zhou Xuan still had a smile on his face, and he said to the guests: "Victory or defeat is a common occurrence in military households. Tomorrow, I invite you all to come again and cheer me up. At noon, I will treat you to a meal, and we won't disperse until we're drunk."

  Zhou Xuan first let Liao Yin invite the guests to a nearby wine tower, and then let Cui Hua lead Zhenzhen, Xiao Huixiang, and Qin Xiaodai to open a private room.

  Lin Han Yun didn't leave, instead she stormed over, twisting his arm: "You've lost so badly and you still won't give up, are you prepared to lose the shop to someone else?"

  Zhou Xuan was twisted by her so painfully that she stretched out her hand and slapped Lin Hanyu's butt with a "slap" sound, saying: "You just know how to call, what do you understand!"

  Lin Han Yun jumped up high, covering his butt with his hand, and his eyes wide open: "You dare to hit me! Hei Shan, teach him a lesson!"

  Lin Heishan pretended to be deaf and dumb, turning his head back and forth, saying: "Oh, Old Man Feng called me for something, I'll go take a look first." And then he strode away swiftly.

  Lin Han Yun saw that her nephew Hei Shan was not helping her, so she got angry and rushed over to grab Zhou Xuan with both hands, shouting "Lao Dong!" at the same time.

  Zhou Xuan was startled, and Old Dong's first move could disable someone. Zhou Xuan's two casual moves were no match for Old Dong. He quickly used one hand to block Lin Hanyu's clawing and the other to cover her mouth, saying: "Don't shout, I'm telling you, although our leader is dead, this first round we lost, but our chances of winning in the end have risen to ten percent."

  Lin Han Yun stopped scratching and opened her hand that was covering Zhou Xuan's mouth, asking: "Why?"

  Zhou Xuan took a look at the palm of his hand, where there was a small droplet of Lin Han's saliva. Lin Han's face was indeed soft and delicate, her lips even softer, and it felt great to cover them with his hand.

  Zhou Xuan only then realized that Lin Hanyu was a young girl, not a wild child. He cleared his throat to cover up the awkwardness and said: "I originally worried that the opponent would keep Xu Chu from appearing, in which case our chances of winning would be almost zero. Now, the opportunity has come, you leave Zhang Huai behind, I'll take care of him, train him for a night, and tomorrow let Zhang Huai appear, the key to victory will depend on Zhang Huai - Xiao San, Hu Tong".

  Tang Xiaosan and Hu Tong walked in and asked: "Master Zhou, what's going on?"

  Zhou Xuan said: "You two eat something casually, and then set off immediately to catch three female crickets. The more you catch, the better. You can mobilize village children to catch them together and give them some money. Female crickets are not usually caught, so they should be easy to catch. Hurry up, and you must return before 3 pm. If things go well, it will be a meritorious deed."

  Tang Xiaosan and Hu Tong saw that Zhou Xuan was so anxious, they knew it was a big deal, the two didn't even eat dinner, brought some cakes and pastries and set off.

  Lin Han Yun had heard Zhou Xuan mention before that he was going to pair up with a cricket, and asked: "Is it Zhang Guang's partner? If they really do get paired up, will they become fierce?"

  "Heh heh," Zhou Xuan smiled: "It's the same with men, after getting a wife, their sense of responsibility strengthens and they will work even harder."

  Lin Han Yun gave him a white eye: "No wonder you're both a gambler and a shopkeeper, it turns out that you have a spoiled wife at home."

  Zhou Xuan thought: "My wife still wants to go to Shouzhou with her cousin, how annoying!"

  After lunch, Zhou Xuan did not return to the Qin Mansion and stayed in the "Super Autumn War Hall". He let Lai Fu send Zhenzhen, Xiao Huixiang, and Xiaodi back. Zhou Xuan said that he would not be returning to the Qin Mansion tonight because there was a major duel tomorrow and he needed to prepare fully for it.

  Zhen Needle comforted Zhou Xuan: "Brother-in-law, you will definitely win. We'll come back early tomorrow to cheer for you."

  Xiao Huixiang also said: "Yes, Brother-in-law will not lose, Xiao Huixiang firmly supports Brother-in-law."

  Xiao Di said: "Brother-in-law, is Zhang Jia tomorrow? Zhang Jia is very powerful, Zhang Jia is invincible. Xiao Di likes Zhang Jia the most."

  Zhou Xuan's heart was warm and fuzzy, he clenched his fist and said: "We will definitely win."

  After the needlework women left, Zhou Xuan and Lin Hanyun sat on the second floor drinking tea. Lin Heishan was afraid that Madam You had something for him to do, so he returned to the city first, saying he would come back in the evening to pick up Lin Hanyun.

  Lin Han Yun saw Zhou Xuan staring blankly into space with a tea cup in hand, so she stretched out her hand and waved it in front of his eyes to see if he had any reaction, or if he was scared silly. Zhou Xuan suddenly bared his neat white teeth, pretending to bite her hand, scaring her into letting out a shrill cry and quickly withdrawing her hand.

  Before Lin Hanyun could speak, Zhou Xuan turned to Wang Cai and said: "Wang Cai, go get me a few herbs - Lu Rong, Zi He Che, Niu Jiao, Gan Cao, Zhi Shou Wu, Han Lian Cao, Chao Wu Jia Pi, Hou Jiang, Chuan Xu Duan, each one or two liang, hurry up and come back quickly."

  Lin Han Yun said with a strange tone: "What are you buying medicine for? You speak so reasonably, it's as if you're a medical student. Are you trying to learn medical skills from your famous doctor wife?"

  Zhou Xuan said: "You are really nagging, this point is quite like an old aunt."

  Lin Han stretched out her hand and was about to come over and twist him, this little girl had a habit of using her hands and feet, now that she was familiar with Zhou Xuan, her true nature was revealed, and at the slightest disagreement, she would use force.

  Zhou Xuan blocked his way and said: "If you want to fight, we can. But first, let's make one thing clear: don't call Lao Dong."

  Lin Han Yun "Geg" laughed: "So you're afraid of Old Dong, haha, I'll call him Old Dong, Old Dong——"

  Lao Dong, the coachman, spent his time either eating or dozing off on the carriage shaft. As soon as Second Miss called him, he would rush from the backyard downstairs to Lin Huanyu's side on the second floor in an instant, bowing and asking: "What orders does Second Miss have?"

  Lin Han Yun tilted her head and glanced at Zhou Xuan with a provocative gaze, asking leisurely: "Old Dong, if someone hit me, what would you do?"

  Old Dong said expressionlessly: "If he hits me with his hand, I'll break his hand. If he kicks me with his foot, I'll twist off his leg. If he butts me with his head, I'll snap his neck."

  Lao Dong is around fifty years old, with a horse face, bulging eyes and prominent cheekbones. His voice suggests that he is a cold-blooded person.
