Chapter 11162: Chapter 11161: The Battle of the Three Kingdoms! What the King of Han did not know was that the five core rules that he had tried his best to protect, the three largest ones, would all be wasted. Even if it wasn’t as tragic as the Chu royal residence being completely wiped out, it would still be a huge blow to their vitality. His influence would drop from 75 to 70, and he would be the weakest Prince’s mansion! The King of Han was completely oblivious to all of this. What he was thinking about was whether he should teach Lin Yi a lesson and keep him as a chess piece for Prince Han’s mansion, or just use him as a last pawn and throw him away? Among everyone, the one who was the most nervous was the Duke Protector, Zhangsun Sheng. The great dukes led by the seven kings had basically completed their plans and entered the stage of calculating the gains and losses, but he did not. At this moment, only the last ten people had no choice. The only number 151 in the House of the Protector was never mentioned. It wasn’t that he didn’t take action, but that the few hundred stones he had just put on the table, even if they had agreed to it at the beginning, all of them had changed their minds in the end. This wasn’t just a matter of luck sharing. Even if Zhangsun Sheng was willing to bear the pain and give up more of his luck dividends to close the gap with those top-tier rules, the problem was that the Duke Protector’s Public House could not provide other resources. For the Hundred Seedlings, this was a great opportunity for them to leap over the dragon gate. Not only did they want to share the fortune, but they also wanted to enter the sights of those top-notch big shots in one step. For example, the Seven Great Imperial Palaces. In this aspect, his Duke Protector’s Residence had no advantage at all, so they naturally could not catch the eyes of the hundred seedlings. Seeing that the remaining hundred pieces were getting fewer and fewer, Zhangsun Sheng’s heart was burning with anxiety. At this rate, his Rule 151 would be completely excluded from the Hundred Seedlings Plan, which meant that he would definitely be purged by the gods. As the new Duke Protector, Zhangsun Sheng’s foundation was already unstable. If he really fell to that stage, his situation would be unimaginable. If he was not careful, not to mention the glory of the Duke, even the survival of the Duke Protector’s Public House would be uncertain. Left with no choice, Zhangsun Sheng could only look for Lin Yi again. “Mister Lin, I agree to your suggestion.” “What suggestion?” Lin Yi asked. “It’s just ten points of luck dividends. I agree.” Zhangsun Sheng was taken aback. Ten points was indeed painful, but no matter what, it was much better than losing the entire game. “Duke, you’re mistaken. Ten points was the price just now, not now.” “..” Zhangsun Sheng choked for a moment. Then, he couldn’t suppress his blood pressure.” It’s not appropriate to raise the price with me at this time, right?” 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖 Lin Yi explained,” I’m not raising the price. With the duke’s intelligence, it’s not hard to see that I’m taking a big risk by giving up the priority. After all, it’s inevitable that I’ll miss out on the ideal options. Why would I do this?” Zhangsun Sheng was stunned. He wanted to say that he was blind and wanted to hug the puppet emperor’s thigh, but he held back in the end. The King of Chu was extremely powerful. Even if he acted presumptuously in front of him, the emperor could not do anything about it. But he was different. He was just a small Protector Duke, and he didn’t have any powerful backing behind him. If he were to really fall into such a situation, he would be stripped of his title and status in a minute. At that time, he wouldn’t even be able to cry. “I’m taking the risk for the better market right now. It’s reasonable to ask for a higher share of luck at this time.” “I won’t hide it from you, Duke. You’re not the only one who’s contacting me. The other families are offering higher prices than you.” Zhangsun Sheng was speechless. He looked around warily. It was not just one or two people who were in such a situation. The essence of the Hundred Seedlings Plan was a self-rescue operation by the great dukes led by the seven kings. If the other small dukes had strong backers, they would have a chance to hitch a ride. As for him, he could only rely on pure luck. Now, it seemed that most of them were unlucky. After all, there were 200 rules to choose from, and only 100 were chosen. Of the remaining hundred rules, the vast majority of them had backgrounds at the level of the Duke Protector’s estate. Even if they were strong, they were limited. Lin Yi was contacting these people. They were even more anxious than Zhangsun Sheng. Some of them had even bid above 10 points, and they could continue to raise the price. “How much do you want?” Zhangsun Sheng asked anxiously. “From now on, I’ll add two points for every person that passes. If the duke has made a decision, you can call me anytime.” “However, the same conditions have been given to other families. Business is business. If they beat me to it, then I can only cooperate with them. I hope that the young duke can understand this.” Zhangsun Sheng was immediately filled with vulgarities. Ten points of luck was already very painful for him. He wouldn’t have agreed unless he had no choice. But now, according to Lin Yi’s plan, every person who passed would get two points. If they left it for the final decision, it would be a total of thirty points! His entire Duke Protector’s Estate, with thousands of people, depended on this rule to live. Lin Yi was asking for thirty percent? There had to be a limit to how much he could ask for, right? But Zhangsun Sheng soon realized that he didn’t dare to vent his anger in front of Lin Yi. There was no other way. The situation was stronger than the person. The situation had developed to this point, and the relationship between supply and demand was completely out of balance. If he didn’t agree, there would be others who would agree in the end. Lin Yi didn’t have to worry at all. At the same time, the attention of the other big shots fell on Lin Yi. They were also curious about Lin Yi’s choice. The core rules of the largest scale had already been selected. Although the remaining ones could not be considered trash, in terms of overall value, they were far inferior to the ones before them. Even if Lin Yi was able to get more luck dividends, it would still be a huge loss. “This person is not smart.” This was the mainstream evaluation of Lin Yi. If Lin Yi really wanted to take a step back and go this far just for that extra bit of luck, everyone would think that he was just trying to be smart. The comment that it was unwise was quite fair. However, the emperor was getting more and more pleased with Lin Yi’s actions. There was no other reason. The core rules with the largest volume were all under the influence of the seven kings. If Lin Yi chose any one of them, he would definitely be roped in by the seven kings. On the other hand, Lin Yi’s actions had cut off this possibility. From the emperor’s point of view, this was a sign that he was determined to be a pure official! It was good for a pure minister. As the emperor’s assistant, he had to have such awareness.
