Chapter 256: The Forest
Ying Xun was not the only one who was shocked. At the same time, Meng Shi and Zhao Guang also opened the bamboo sticks in their hands, and their eyes widened in amazement.
Since there are only three countries left, there are only three bamboo sticks in the box. One of them is dotted with cinnabar, and two are left blank.
It is self-evident what each represents.
At this time, the former Qin teenager who was surrounding Ying Xun looked at the little red sand in his stepson's hand, and they were all stunned on the spot.
So far, the signatures that Ying Xun has brought back are always blank, and the people of Qianqin are still ...... The first time I saw cinnabar sticks.
It was hard to believe for a while.
At this moment, there were also stunned doubts from the cultivators of the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Eastern Wu Dynasty.
"Blank ......"
"Soochow seems to be ...... too"
"That cinnabar ......"
All the eyes on the court were focused on Yingxun's hand, and at the same time, with the sound of a bell, the examiner's shout came, and the final word was heard.
"The second round of the polo battle, Northern Wei vs. Soochow!"
"Qianqin has a bye!"
"Qianqin has a bye?!" At this time, the cultivators who were too far away and couldn't see the bamboo sticks in Yingxun's hands widened their eyes when they heard this.
Just now, everyone speculated about the countries that might have a bye, but no one guessed Qianqin. After all, Former Qin not only had a poor record, but also in the Beginner Ceremony, especially after the Qin Empire was broken, the luck of the Former Qin stepsons in drawing lots was also very poor.
It can even be breathtaking.
In the last junior ceremony, according to all the signs, they were drawn by the former Qin stepson at that time, and after the end of the elementary ceremony, the stepson almost apologized with death.
At that time, it was rumored that although this lottery was about luck, it was actually closely related to the fortune of the country.
The former Qin Sun was thin in the West Mountain, and the breath was dying.
And Nanchu has a bright future and is thriving.
That's why Qianqin will draw until the next lot.
Until the first round of the polo battle, there were onlookers who mentioned it. After all, Qianqin drew Nanchu in the first round, no matter how you look at it, it was Qianqin's signing, Nanchu's signing.
But no one expected that Qianqin would take a draw and win.
Just as no one thought that Qianqin, who has always been lucky to carry home, will actually have one who has been drawn to the lottery.
"This ...... It can't be cheating, right? ”
"That's right...... How could it be Qianqin? ”
"Where did the Qianqin people get their good luck?! Someone is definitely secretly using the means. ”
It is true that someone secretly used a means, but it was not a means to let Qianqin win.
Ying Baoyue quietly watched Ying Xun, who was a little overwhelmed when she won the lottery for the first time.
"I'm ......," Ying Xun said uneasily as she stared at the bamboo stick in her hand, "It can't be that something went wrong, right?" ”
He glanced at Ying Baoyue, "It won't be anyone's ......"
"Don't mention anything else, one thing is for sure," and at this moment, Ying Baoyue shook her head, looked at him and said, "This lottery in your hand is just luck." ”
Just luck.
On a high ground away from the horse farm, a man in black soft armor quietly looked into the distance and withdrew his outstretched right hand.
The man's face was hidden in the shadows, his eyes rolled slightly, he glanced at a forest in the southeast, and his lips squirmed.
"Water lawmaker?"
The man's eyes flickered, and the next moment the figure disappeared in place.
At the moment when the figure of the black-armored man disappeared. Li Ji, who was standing under the tree in the mountain forest, withdrew his outstretched hand.
……
……
No matter how unbelievable the parties or bystanders were about the results of this draw, the result was decided, and the onlookers scattered for a while, after all, the game was good, but the food still had to be eaten.
Only when you are full will you have the strength to watch the afternoon is destined to be a more intense game.
In the second round of the polo battle in the beginner ceremony, because it takes a long time, there is an hour gap between each game for the cultivators participating in the game to recover their physical strength and true yuan.
At the end of each round, it was almost a meal, and at noon, the practitioners and the people began to prepare for the meal.
The Nanchuma field is located in a remote area, there are no restaurants and restaurants nearby, experienced people will bring their own dry food, and there are also many vendors who seize the opportunity to push carts around to sell pastries and bait.
Of course, for the examiners on the high platform and the nobles in the box below, the meals will naturally be delivered by someone.
"Will Your Highness continue to watch it in the afternoon?" The examiners on the high platform got up one after another, went down to find their own family to eat, and Mr. Mengyang opened his cloudy eyes and looked at Jiang Yuanyuan, who was sitting on the side and did not move.
"Of course," Jiang Yuanyuan nodded and squinted and smiled, "It's the first time I've seen such an interesting development." ”
He said casually, "Naturally, we have to see the end." ”
Isn't it interesting? Looking at this smile, Ji Jiashu couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
"Then how is Your Highness's lunch meal prepared? Did someone from the palace send it? Mr. Mengyang asked. He had expected to get this answer for granted.
"In the palace?" But he didn't expect Jiang Yuanyuan to look at him strangely, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "I came here on a whim, and I didn't say hello to the dining room in the palace, how could someone send it?" ”
"Really?" Mr. Mengyang was slightly stunned on the side, but the next moment, the cloudy eye sockets flickered slightly where the two of them couldn't see.
"In that case, does His Royal Highness want to eat with the old man and his family?" The old man squinted at the young man beside him, and casually mentioned it, "Nu Jin Niang is also here today, but she knows the rules very well and will not cause trouble to His Royal Highness." ”
Is the second sister of the Li family?
On the other hand, Ji Jiashu was also slightly stunned when he heard this. However, the next moment, without waiting for him to react, Jiang Yuanyuan's voice came from beside him.
"Thank you, sir, but it's rare for Mr. Mengyang to share the joy of Lun with his family, how can I be embarrassed to disturb," Jiang Yuanyuan said solemnly with a smile on his face.
"Lun ......," Mr. Mengyang paused, "It's nothing, there is only one woman in the family." ”
"Then it's even harder to bother," Jiang Yuanyuan said with a smile.
This man's ability to open his eyes and talk is still as strong as ever. Ji Jiashu stood up quietly as he listened, hoping that none of the two would think of him.
He didn't believe that Jiang Yuanyuan couldn't hear the meaning of Mr. Mengyang's words, but he ...... Is the second sister of the Li family?
Ji Jiashu's eyes were deep, but the next moment he didn't wait for him to think about it, a hand suddenly put on his shoulder.
"Where can I use Chunhuajun for lunch? Is there anyone from the National Teacher's Mansion? But everyone wants to invite you to the private rooms below, right? ”
Ji Jiashu, who had just been used as a shield, frowned unnoticedly, and said helplessly the next moment, "Someone should come, but I'm afraid they won't care about me." ”
Ji Qingyuan and Ji Ange were likely to come to watch in disguise, but since they were disguised, they naturally couldn't appear in front of everyone, and even if they could, he suspected that the two were just here to see the woman.
"And where are you going to eat?" Jiang Yuanyuan looked at Ji Jiashu with a smile and asked, "Don't lie." ”
The lie will be sent by this man to follow him all the way.
Ji Jiashu sighed faintly, his voice paused as if he was overcoming something, and the next moment he raised his head and looked at Jiang Yuanyuan and smiled.
"Her Royal Highness the princess has made pastry bait in advance, and she is ready to taste it."
"Your Highness the Princess?" Jiang Yuanyuan was stunned and repeated, and the next moment he looked at Ji Jiashu and suddenly laughed and hugged his shoulders tightly.
"Then I'll go with you!"
