Su Jingchen wandered the street expressionlessly, and all kinds of people walked past him, all of them kept their distance from him without exception, or quietly bypassed him.

The child's eyes ...... It's scary. A woman said to her husband.

The crowd in front of him suddenly erupted into a scream, it was a ring, a burly but scarred man rolled down from the ring weakly, fell to the ground, motionless, this man's opponent was also scarred in the ring, wheezing violently, but he still tried to raise his hand and squeezed out an ugly smile at the people under the ring, the crowd erupted into a burst of cheers, no one cared about the man lying on the ground, their eyes were on the ring, only a thin man drilled through the crowd, I tried his breath, then beckoned, and two more men came over with straw mats, scribbled around the man, and went out of the city.

The so-called loser is destined to have nothing.

Unconsciously, Su Jingchen arrived at yesterday's school field again, unlike yesterday, there were a lot of people around the school field, and people wanted to squeeze to the front when they broke their heads, it seemed that there was something terrible in the school field today. The crowd blocked the whole street, and the wagon with goods was blocked on the other side of the crowd, and he shouted for the people in front of him to get out of the way, but no one paid attention to him, so he yelled in the wagon.

"Head, that's called Li or something...... He's dead. At the entrance of the school grounds, a thin man whispered to Wang Shi, "It was said that he was overindulged last night......

"This is very difficult...... Wang Shi touched his bald head, "If there are not enough people, I'm afraid the master's gambling game will not be able to continue." ”

Su Jingchen wanted to get out of the city, but he didn't know other roads, so he had to pass through the crowd hard, but he was brought to the front by the crowd, he wanted to turn around and squeeze out, but he was suddenly pushed by someone, and he entered the school field inexplicably. Although the people behind him wanted to squeeze to the front no matter what, but for some reason, no one was willing to step into the school yard, as if there was an insurmountable line in the school yard blocking them, and he was about to leave, when suddenly a voice came from behind him.

"Yo, little brother, do you want to try it?" A bald man suddenly came up to him, "Try your archery." ”

Su Jingchen raised his head and glanced at it, there were more than a dozen arrow targets in the huge school field, and there were more than a dozen people, either adjusting their bows, or pranayama with their eyes closed, or repeating the actions of opening the bow and pulling the strings. At the other end, there is also a grandstand with a few ornate umbrella covers erected on it, and a few fruit cakes are placed on the small table, all of which are precious varieties. It's just that the hosts haven't arrived yet, and the seats are still empty.

"As long as you know how to shoot arrows." Seeing that Su Jingchen didn't speak, Wang Shi said again.

He remembered the gentle man, who had held his hand at a very young age, and the bow in his hand, and then naturally remembered the feeling of bending the bow and shooting arrows, so he nodded.

"Alright," the bald man smiled, "what's the name of the little brother?"

"Su Jingchen."

The man raised the board in his hand and wrote down the three big characters "Su Jingchen" smoothly, which was actually a rare thin body.

"Okay," the man put down the board and pushed Su Jingchen into the school grounds, "Go ahead." ”

As soon as he stood firm, a small servant handed him a bow and a quiver full of arrows. Su Jingchen shook the back of the bow and took it in his hand and looked at it a few times, the quality of the bow was not much better than that of the hunting bow, probably from which small workshop it was bought.

"This way, please." The little guy bowed slightly, and pointed in the direction of a finger, leading Su Jingchen to the venue.

At this time, the masters of this competition entered the arena. Both the spectators and the contestants looked at the platform without exception.

"Please let me introduce to you," the bald man didn't know when he came to the stands, he raised a hand, pointed to the person who was the first to play, and said slowly, "Xie Anyuan Xie Gongzi." ”

"Hey, this boy is a little more handsome than the little lady in Yeyinlou." There was a burst of laughter outside the venue, but Xie Anyuan didn't hear it, only to see him get up, smile and arch his hands, and slowly sit down again.

"Zhang Ling, Zhang Gongzi." The only son of Zhang Zaiye, the largest salt merchant in Yingzhou.

"Zhao Feng Zhao Gongzi." His father is Zhao Quan, who holds the most prosperous streets in Yingzhou, and is also one of the top real estate businessmen in Yingzhou.

"Lord Xu Fu'an." Xu Fuan is good at gambling, but also good at gambling, he is the oldest of the three, but also the most cunning, the most scheming one, he runs almost all the gambling houses in Yingzhou, large and small, many people became rich overnight because of him, but more people because of his wife separated, the family was ruined, and it was he who single-handedly planned this competition, or rather, this gamble.

Seven days ago, Xie Anyuan visited Xu Fuan with his gifts, hoping that he could organize a competition, he wanted to refuse, but when he saw the gem sent by his subordinates, he immediately went to the gate to greet him.

The name of that gem is "Heartless".

Like his gambling skills, Xu Fu'an's eye for treasures is extremely accurate, because in addition to operating large and small gambling houses in Yingzhou City, he is also a real antique dealer. Wuxin is the best in jade, and people will be proud of having a piece of jewelry made by Wuxin in the princes and nobles, and there have been people in the black market who have offered a price of 1,000 taels of gold.

"I don't know why Gongzi Xie came to the Humble House this time?" Xu Fuan is cautious, dealing with such a person, it is always right to keep an eye on it.

"Create a few heroes for this troubled world." Xie Anyuan understated.

"Does this hero mean that he can be made?" Xu Fuan couldn't help laughing, "Gongzi Xie shouldn't joke with the old man." ”

"I also know that the so-called heroes are not meant to be created, but apart from the battlefield, I really can't think of a better place than Yingzhou," Xie Anyuan paused, "You just have to set up this competition, but don't let all the stinky fish and shrimp come in." ”

"The one who wins the championship will have a hundred taels of gold." He said again, and then clapped his hands gently, and the young man next to him immediately handed over a golden ticket, "One thousand taels of gold, issued by the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce, for this competition, and Lord Xu's thank you gift, if Lord Xie wants to gamble with me, Xie is also willing to accompany him." Xie Anyuan looked at Xu Fuan's eyes with a smile on his face.

Xu Fuan opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything, what he wanted to say, what he wanted to ask, all his thoughts were understood by the man in front of him. Cold sweat flowed down his forehead, and the man in front of him made him feel dangerous, but Xu Fuan was conceited about his gambling skills, and he didn't want to give up this opportunity.

"Then dare to ask Gongzi Xie, what are you betting on?"

"Bet on who wins." Xie Anyuan got up suddenly, "Seven days later, I'm going to watch the final competition." ”

"Gongzi Xie, have you figured out who you want to press?" Xu Fu'an smiled all over his face.

"There's no hurry," Xie Anyuan chuckled, "Let's take a look first, but everyone, what is your bet?"

"What about Gongzi Xie's?" Zhang Ling asked rhetorically.

"Hmm...... I want to think about it, since you all like money, it would be simpler, 1,500 taels of gold, how about it?"

"Hahaha," Xu Fuan laughed, "Gongzi Xie is really refreshing, although the old man's financial resources are not as good as Gongzi Xie, this thing must still be able to enter Gongzi Xie's eyes." With that, he clapped his hands, and the servant walked briskly with a small box in his hand, half-kneeling behind them.

"Gongzi Xie, please look," Xu Fuan slowly opened the box, the box was padded with Jiangnan Yurun silk, and on the silk lay quietly a dagger that was extremely delicate and cold, "Qingya, this is its name, someone lost to me in a gambling game a few years ago." ”

Zhang Ling and Zhao Feng kept admiring, but Xie Anyuan didn't seem to be very interested, he just nodded lightly and said, "What about Zhang Gongzi and Zhao Gongzi?"

"The Pearl of the Hokuriku Night." Zhang Ling opened the box held by the servant with a proud face.

"Compared to you, my chips may be much inferior." As he spoke, Zhao Feng took out a small brocade box from his arms and slowly opened it.

"This ...... Is Zhao Gongzi joking with us?" The brocade box was empty, and a trace of displeasure flashed on Xu Fuan's face.

"No, take a closer look." Zhao Feng stretched out his hand to the brocade box, gently pulled out something, and held it out to the sun, so that they could see the thin line that was almost transparent.

"Oh? This is ......" Xie Anyuan was slightly taken aback.

"What is this? I'm afraid it's not some wild thing's hair, right?" Zhang Ling had a look of disgust on his face.

"I don't know very well, this is my father's business, this thing has three characteristics, the first one is compared to what you have just seen, the second, this thing has excellent toughness, no matter how you pull it, it will not be deformed, and this third one, you need to borrow the green teeth of Lord Xu."

Xu Fuan nodded, and the servant immediately came to Zhao Cover with a box containing green teeth, and Zhao Feng picked up the dagger and handed the silk thread to the servant.

"Pull tight." He commanded coldly.

The servant hurriedly wrapped two wounds around his fingers and pulled them tightly, Zhao Feng suddenly waved the dagger and slashed it, the servant tried to widen his eyes and stare at the dagger, he knew that the dagger was aimed at himself, but he didn't dare to dodge. The dagger slashed at the filament, and the force of the dagger almost knocked the thin boy over, and his hands were strangled with deep blood marks, but unexpectedly, he was still alive - the thin thread was still intact.

"That's pretty impressive." Xu Fuan was amazed, with the sharpness of the green teeth, even a woman with no strength could easily cut through a good leather armor at such a distance just now, not to mention that Zhao Feng was a person who practiced martial arts.

"It's a pity that this thing is only so little," Zhao Feng put away the dagger and silk thread, and sighed, "I can't make any big things, so this is worth ......"

"It doesn't matter, the result is the same." Xie Bi'an smiled, "But everyone, have you figured out who you want to press?"

"That's nature." The three of them spoke in unison.

After Xie Bi'an found himself, Xu Fu'an sent someone to the deep mountains of Anyang that night to invite Sun He, Sun He was originally a captain in the Shenwu Army, with his strength, he should have been a general, but after a certain battle, he was lame, so he had to return to his hometown and become a hunter in the mountains. Sun He was famous for archery in the army, and after returning to his hometown, because of the inconvenience of his legs and feet, he specialized in archery. Although Zhang Ling and Zhao Feng were not as well prepared as Xu Fu'an, they also found the top archery masters in Yingzhou City, and the two of them also looked confident.

The outcome of this gamble seems to have been determined a long time ago.

But Xie Anyuan didn't seem to know at all, he still had a smile on his face, and he glanced at everyone in the center of the school field.

Su Jingchen suddenly turned his head and looked at the side of the stands, just staring at Xie Anyuan, but he quickly looked away, he couldn't say why, he didn't like Xie Anyuan's eyes very much, it was too deep, as if he could see through himself at once.

Xie Anyuan was stunned, there were too many things hidden in the child's eyes, and it felt like a ...... to look at him Staring into the abyss, and in his eyes, there is almost no light, that is the eyes of a person who is bent on death, but he is just a teenager, how can he have a pair of eyes like that? Xie Anyuan couldn't help but think.

"Interesting, interesting." Xie Anyuan smiled, pointed at Su Jingchen and said, "Then I'll press that young man." ”

"Hahaha, it seems that Gongzi Xie really has a lot of money, so he can't wait to lose to the old man?" Xu Fuan couldn't help laughing, "Do you look at his thin appearance, do you draw a bow?" He laughed at Xie Anyuan 10,000 times in his heart, he was so visionless, he pressed such a hairy boy who didn't know where he came from, and the people on the school field now were all strong archers within a radius of 100 miles from Yingzhou, no matter where they were placed, they were all people who could be called, and Xie Anyuan chose the thin young man who was temporarily added.

In this bet, he will definitely lose.
