Chapter 382 Why don’t you bet on me to win?
Chapter 382 Why don’t you bet on me to win?
Upon hearing this, the crowd was instantly filled with joy and was about to burst into applause.
Xiao Hongyan was a little shocked: "How is that possible! I saw that the way Prince Song draws the bow and arrow is quite standard!"
If Song Tingshan really lost, how much money would he lose?
When he thought of this, Xiao Hongyan wanted to cry.
Xiao Tingshan stood there in a daze, feeling as if he had been struck by lightning, and the blood in his body froze.
How could…how could this happen?
"Impossible! I just saw it. My young master clearly hit the ten rings!" Song Ren said anxiously.
Fortunately, because it was on the hunting ground, the emperor was easy-going and the rules were not strict.
Wang Xi and Emperor Qianwu's personal guards glanced at Song Ren, and seeing that Emperor Qianwu did not give any instructions, they did not scold him.
Song Ren came back to his senses, broke out in a cold sweat, lowered his head, knelt down and sobbed, "I just saw you hit the ten rings."
Emperor Qianwu raised his eyes and glanced at the guard.
The guard said quickly, "Your Majesty, Prince Song did hit several arrows, a total of sixty-nine, but Young Master Zhao's last arrow missed the target and knocked down all of Prince Xiao's arrows, so... so..."
The guard didn't finish his words, but everyone understood what he meant.
So, in the end, all of Xiao Tingshan’s arrows were shot down?
In this way, it is naturally classified as zero ring.
Zhao Baokun didn't seem to expect this result. He was stunned for a moment, then immediately bowed to Xiao Tingshan and said, "I'm sorry, Prince Song. It's my fault."
No matter how much he could bear it, Xiao Tingshan couldn't smile when he met Zhao Baokun's gaze.
The arrow that he had spent half his life shooting was destroyed by just one arrow.
But...why...
Xiao Tingshan smiled warmly, coughed a few times, and said in a gentle voice: "It's okay, Song is just not good enough in terms of skills."
Zhao Baokun was quite embarrassed for a moment and didn't know what to do.
Xiao Tingshan had a smile on his face, knowing that the Qingyuan Marquisate was on Shen Shuyi's side.
But the girl was all alone, so how could the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion dare to gamble so much?
Xiao Tingshan felt depressed and coughed up blood again.
Emperor Qianwu frowned and said, "What a pity."
This one sentence made Xiao Tingshan even more upset.
Because of Zhao Baokun's arrow, they could only see that his arrow was completely destroyed, but they could not see that he, with half his life and this broken body, also shot out ten rings that were not inferior to Feng Bochang!
He is unwilling!
How could he be willing!
Emperor Qianwu said in a deep voice: "Although Prince Song got zero rings, his courage is commendable. I will reward him with a pair of old ginseng, ten cups of blood swallows, and ten volumes of his collection of books."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace..."
Xiao Tingshan immediately knelt down to express his gratitude, but he felt very sad in his heart.
Ten books in your collection?
Emperor Qianwu was warning him that he was just a civil official and should not act arrogantly.
Xiao Tingshan lowered his eyes to hide the self-mockery in his eyes. Haha, he risked half his life, and in the end, this was the result.
Even he is not worthy of himself!
Seeing this scene, Shen Shuyi curled the corners of his lips and felt relieved.
She didn't want him to die, she wanted him to live like this forever, unable to get what he wanted. She wanted him to get close to what he desired most again and again, but lose it again and again.
"How many rings did Xie Jingchi get?" Emperor Qianwu asked again.
The guard said: "Your Majesty, thank you for the twenty-six rings..."
Emperor Qianwu: “…”
Is this an arrow shot with the foot?
The target was said to be a hundred steps away, but in fact it was not that far away at all. This outcome was really beyond Emperor Qianwu's expectations.
Emperor Qianwu put his hands behind his back and stared at Xie Jingchi for a long while. Finally, he just said: "You...you..."
Xie Jingchi still had a serious look on his face, and said earnestly: "I have said that I am exhausted."
Emperor Qianwu was so angry that his breathing became heavier: "I clearly asked General Lu Lin to teach you before, how could you shoot like this!"
Xie Jingchi was silent for a moment, then said bluntly: "General Lu Lin believes that I am not suitable for martial arts."
Emperor Qianwu said angrily: "You are still young, if you don't learn some martial arts, how can you protect yourself?"
Xie Jingchi said: "It's all thanks to your majesty's blessing."
Emperor Qianwu: “…”
As if he didn't want to waste time talking to him, Emperor Qianwu withdrew his gaze, asked about the number of targets of the top few, and gave some extra rewards.
After the excitement died down, many people thanked Shen Shuyi.
"Ms. Shen, thanks to you. If it weren't for you, I would have lost miserably."
"Yes, Miss Shen helped me win five hundred taels of silver."
"I didn't expect that the number of arrows shot by Prince Song was quite high, but fortunately his arrow was finally shot down by Young Master Zhao of the Marquis' Mansion."
"It doesn't matter how many rounds it takes, as long as I lose in the end."
"..."
The words of the group of people pierced Xiao Tingshan's heart like needles. He coughed up blood again and almost fell to his knees after taking a few steps.
Song Ren quickly stepped forward to hold him up: "Sir!"
"It's okay, let's go back." Xiao Tingshan said in a low voice, his eyes, which were usually gentle, were already a little red.
Shen Shuyi's almond-shaped eyes were cold.
It seems that his illness in this life is more serious than in his previous life.
Shen Shuyi retracted his gaze and responded to everyone with a faint smile: "Let's make money together..."
*
The crowd dispersed, and Shen Shuyi took a few maids and walked into the woods again.
I heard that after noon, Emperor Qianwu planned to go hunting again.
The female members of the family have nothing to do, so they can relax wherever they want and attend poetry gatherings and cocktail parties hosted by the ladies in the palace.
Not long after he walked away, Xie Jingchi appeared beside him.
Shen Shuyi didn't know what to say for a moment. He just felt that Zhao Baokun's tricks would definitely not escape the eyes of Lord Xie.
Xie Jingchi said quietly, "Shen Jingyu wants to arrange a marriage between you and the son of Princess Guining."
Shen Shuyi was stunned for a moment: "Who?"
Xie Jingchi stared at her with his dark eyes and did not respond.
Shen Shuyi searched his mind quickly, and then a drooling, silly face appeared in his mind.
Without waiting for Shen Shuyi to think more, Xie Jingchi suddenly said: "Miss Shen, why don't you bet on me to win?" Xie Jingchi said in a deep voice.
Shen Shuyi withdrew his thoughts and looked at him puzzledly: "Thank you, sir, for your martial arts skills?"
Xie Jingchi was silent for a moment, then uttered two words: "No."
Shen Shuyi was unable to put it into words: "So, am I crazy?"
Xie Jingchi pursed his lips, sneered, looked at her deeply, said nothing, and left with a flick of his sleeves.
Shen Shuyi: ???
This guy Xie Jingchi...Is he probably suffering from some serious illness?
Shen Shuyi shook his head, withdrew his thoughts, and reconsidered what Xie Jingchi said.
Her marriage to Xiao Yuze?
Haha, Shen Jingyu really dares to think like that.
She didn't dare to take any ideas from others now, so she just kept staring at herself.
But it's just right.
Not long after walking, Shen Shuyi stopped under a dead tree. She raised her head and her eyes fell on the branches of the dead tree.
What you see is a huge beehive hanging high above, and many majestic hornets are buzzing around the hive, which makes people feel a little uneasy.
Shen Shuyi curled her lips and whispered, "See if Lian Qiao is here, ask her to come over."
"Yes." Qin Xin responded.
Not long after, Lian Qiao hurried to Shen Shuyi's side. She followed Shen Shuyi's line of sight and couldn't help but said, "What a big beehive..."
