Chapter 121 No... no more gambling!
Chapter 121 No... no more gambling!
If there really is such a demon star, they would be very happy. They would love a demon star that can guarantee them good weather and good harvests, even if it is a demon star.
As a result, outside the Xiangguo Temple, the voices shouting that the Eighth Prince is mighty and that the Eighth Prince is the savior were overwhelming.
Jiang Fan's prestige among the people reached its peak again because of this rain. After this, if someone attacks Jiang Fan again, they will have to think about whether the people can still believe him!
In Xiangguo Temple, Ye Ren, Fan Xian and other court officials turned pale when they heard the shouts outside the temple.
They thought they could take advantage of the drought and carry out a vicious plan that would not only prevent Jiang Fan from marrying into the Chu family, but also allow them to get rid of Jiang Fan.
But they never thought that Jiang Fan could resolve the problem so easily. They never thought that Jiang Fan could actually pray for rain. They still cannot accept this fact.
Thinking about it now, Ye Ren and Fan Xian looked at each other, their eyes full of fear and dread. They thought they had everything under control.
But in the end, all of this was within Jiang Fan's calculations. Not only did he use the enemy's trick against him, but he also lured them into the trap little by little.
He even took the opportunity to trick them. No wonder Jiang Fan was so confident at that time. They thought Jiang Fan was retreating to advance.
They were not retreating to advance, they were clearly trying to cheat them. Three million taels of silver were wasted again!
Moreover, not only was their evil plot resolved, but Jiang Fan's prestige among the common people reached its peak. Instead, they pitted themselves.
The marriage between the Chu family and Jiang Fan is a foregone conclusion, and there is no chance to disrupt it anymore.
Jiang Fan didn't even give them a chance to react. After guessing that they were up to something, he acted quickly and forcefully, and everything was set in stone!
This scheming and plotting made them feel fearful and scared.
The faces of several princes were pale. This time they were completely defeated.
A hint of deep gloom flashed across the Sixth Prince's calm eyes. He raised his head to glance at Jiang Fan on the Tower of Babel, his eyes filled with darkness.
On the top of the tower, Chu Yan'er looked at the falling rain in shock and was unable to come back to her senses for a long time. The Chu brothers also saw this scene for the first time and were completely stunned.
When Jiang Fan was making the cannonballs, he said that they could use it to pray for rain. They just listened and didn't take it seriously. But who would have thought that Jiang Fan could actually do it.
The two brothers looked at Jiang Fan with a look that changed from shock and admiration to respect.
What kind of method is this to pray for rain out of thin air? It's not an exaggeration to say that it's a method of the gods!
Chu Yan'er let the rain hit her body. She turned to look at Jiang Fan, her eyes already burning with heat.
She loves her husband who can call the wind and rain to her core.
If they were not at the top of the tower at this time, Chu Yan'er would have thrown herself directly onto Jiang Fan. Get close to Jiang Fan!
Jiang Fan also looked at Chu Yan'er at this time, and saw that after the rain, Chu Yan'er's summer dress was already soaked, and her exquisite figure was faintly visible.
The ultimate temptation, coupled with the peerless beauty, made Jiang Fan's breathing quicken and he almost turned into a wolf.
After realizing what was happening, he quickly took off his coat and stepped forward to cover Chu Yan'er. He said to Chu Yan'er softly, "Yan'er, let's go down!"
Chu Yan'er came to her senses after hearing that, and nodded shyly. She picked up Jiang Fan and flew to the top floor of the Tower of Babel.
The Chu brothers looked at Jiang Fan and his sister showing off their love, looked at each other with helplessness, packed up the gun barrels, and then returned to the top floor.
The four of them packed up quickly and arrived at the bottom of the Tower of Babel.
At this time, the Emperor of Yan had already come in to avoid the rain. Following him in, except for a few first-rank officials, the rest of the people were all outside in the rain.
Seeing Jiang Fan coming down, Emperor Yan was filled with excitement. His eyes were full of doting. His son really did not disappoint him.
He actually did it. He just released three thunder weapons into the air and it actually started to rain.
Now that he has that thing in his hand, there is no drought that cannot be solved!
Wherever there is drought, just go up and do some work, and everything will be solved. Why worry about drought?
Thinking about being able to control rainfall in the future, Emperor Yan's breathing became a little rapid. In the future, would he still have to worry about good weather and good harvests in Great Yan?
"Haha... my son is truly a genius. With your method of praying for rain, no drought can stop you. My son wins this third bet! Everyone, do you have any other opinions?"
Emperor Yan was extremely pleased. He turned around and looked at Ye Ren, Fan Xian, Huang Zhenren and others who had pale faces with a playful look, with a hint of teasing on his lips.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid the rainfall this time is just a coincidence. Maybe it happened to be raining. If you say that the Eighth Prince released three thunder weapons into the sky and caused the rain, I really can't believe it."
Huang Zhenren came back to his senses and spoke quickly.
As soon as he said this, the Emperor Yan's eyes turned cold instantly. Several princes, Ye Ren and Fan Xian showed slight joy and looked at Huang Zhenren eagerly.
They really hoped that this guy would jump out and question it, and it would be best if he could say that the rainfall was a coincidence and directly sentence Jiang Fan to lose.
However, some court officials looked at Huang Zhenren with disdain, feeling that this guy couldn't afford to lose.
Although, it was somewhat unbelievable that Jiang Fan used three sky thunder weapons to make it rain.
However, everyone could see that this was definitely not a coincidence. After all, before we arrived, the sky was clear and the weather was extremely hot, with no sign of rain at all.
If Jiang Fan hadn't fired three thunder weapons into the sky, how could it rain? No matter how unbelievable it was, the facts were before their eyes, forcing them to believe it.
Emperor Yan opened his mouth and wanted to reprimand Huang Zhenren, but Jiang Fan suddenly said, "Minister Huang, how about we make another bet, this time with your entire fortune?"
"Let's go to another place. I'll make it rain artificially again and convince you!"
There was a hint of amusement in his voice, and the words made Huang Zhenren swallow back what he wanted to say.
Bet again?! Damn it, does he still dare to bet?
He was trying to be lazy and said that all this was a coincidence, but he knew in his heart that this was definitely not a coincidence. If the Imperial Astronomical Observatory said there was a drought, there must be a drought.
The Imperial Astronomical Observatory had never made a mistake in its observations of major disasters, let alone what had just happened. He saw it all and knew it was no coincidence.
"This..." He shrank his neck and dared not say the rest. He could only retreat silently.
"What? Minister Huang, are you scared? No, I just need some money, so just gamble! Give me some money, I haven't met a sucker like you in a long time!"
Jiang Fan said to Huang Zhenren jokingly.
His words almost broke Huang Zhenren's defense on the spot, and he was so angry that he vomited blood. You kid, please don't push your luck like this. Is it really okay to poke someone's lungs?
You have already cheated me out of millions of taels of silver, and you still want to cheat me. Unless he has shit in his brain, he will gamble with him again. He just wanted to make a last-ditch effort.
"No... no more bets! The Eighth Prince is a genius, I admit defeat!" He saw that Jiang Fan wanted to say something, and was afraid that he would lose face again, so he could only speak with an apologetic smile.
His cowardly look immediately made Ye Ren and Fan Xian look disappointed.
