Chapter 018: Gambling and shooting
After listening to the rules of the game set by Xiao Zhengze, Xie Ling laughed in his heart: This is calculating her money!
Xiao Zhengze played this "Golden Ditch Gambling Shooting" is very simple, that is, archery, but the difficulty of this kind of archery is a bit big, within fifty steps, the competition whose arrow shoots in the "five baht money" more, you must know that the hole in the center of the five-baht copper coin is as big as the arrow, to aim through the arrow does not land, it is not easy.
"How? It's not a bad game, isn't it? Dong Shizi and I often play, do you see those gold mountains? ”
Xiao Zhengze pointed to a few hills piled up with copper coins on the hunting ground, and said to Xie Ling: "Let's use these two mountains to calculate the winner or loser, whoever loses a copper coin, then the gold mountain will dig out a corner and pile up the other party's gold mountain, and finally let's see, whose mountain is higher!" ”
Xie Ling smiled in his heart: "So what is the bet of the little waiting master?" ”。
Xiao Zhengze hurriedly asked Xia Houhong and Dong Xian to bring a battle armor over, Xie Ling's eyes lit up again, this turned out to be a golden battle armor with gold plates all over his body, under the sunlight, it can be described as golden and shining.
"Do you know how much this armor is worth? The gold flakes on its whole body add up to at least seven million. Xiao Zhengze explained, "If you win Benhou, Benhou will give you this armor as a bet. ”
Dong Xian's expression changed, and he seemed to be a little reluctant, but then he thought about it, Xiao Zhengze's archery skills were not bad, Xie Ling was just a child of the scholar clan from a scholarly family, and his body was still weak.
Thinking about it like this, Dong Xian was not worried, and happily waited to see a good show.
"And what if I lose?" Xie Ling asked again.
"If you lose a copper coin, even if you lose a thousand gold, how much you lose, just pay as much as you want." Xiao Zhengze said very generously.
No matter how much a thousand gold is, it can't compare to a golden armor worth seven million.
But that just doesn't sound like much, if Xie Ling loses 10,000 copper coins, it will be more than 7 million.
Xiao Zhengze's bet is to let Xie Ling lose completely!
"This bet, it sounds, it seems that Xiao Hou Ye will suffer!"
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm inviting you to come today to play, as long as Xie Langjun is at the end of his play, even if he loses a golden armor worth seven million, he thinks it's worth it."
"Okay, then this bet, I agreed."
Dong Xian and Xia Houhong almost laughed on the side, this Xie Ling is really a person who has lived in the mountains for a long time and does not understand the sinister hearts of people, and is as easy to deceive as a fool.
"Now, shall we begin?"
Xiao Zheng ordered someone to bring two bows and arrows, and was about to bend the bow and string, when he suddenly heard Xie Ling say: "Oh yes, Xiao Houye, our gambling contract doesn't seem to be very good, and I have a poor memory, I'm afraid that I will lose too much and can't afford to lose, so let's make a note first." Fortunately, I clearly know how much I have lost when I play, otherwise, I am afraid that I will be sorry for the ancestors of my Xie family. ”
Xiao Zhengze smiled dumbly, and patted Xie Ling on the shoulder: "You are the eldest son of the Xie family, what are you afraid of, besides, your Xie family is rich, and your Xie family's manor will be amazed even if you are waiting to see it, with your identity as the eldest son of the Xie family, the entire Xie family will be yours in the future, you are not such a person who can't afford to lose, besides, you will not necessarily lose." ”
"Little Hou Ye, look at this Xie Xiaolangjun so frightened, I'm afraid that the three of us will bully him, but it's just a note, it's up to him." At this time, Xia Houhong said.
"Yes, yes, it's just a note, what are you afraid of!" Dong Xian also echoed on the side.
was said by Dong Xian and Xia Houhong, Xiao Zhengze was embarrassed to refuse, flicked the sleeves of his very arrogant robe, called two servants over, took pen, ink, paper and inkstone, wrote a line of words in the dragon and phoenix dance, and then stamped his own seal.
"Can we get started now?"
Xiao Zhengze asked Xie Ling, and saw Xie Ling frowning at the two golden mountains, as if he was still dissatisfied.
"Little Houye, I think there should be two more benchmarks on those two golden mountains, it will be better." Xie Ling said suddenly.
"Why?"
Xie Ling looked at Xiao Zhengze and smiled: "Only by setting up two optimus pillars can I be majestic!" And didn't Xiao Hou Ye also say it just now? If you want to see who has a higher gold mountain, then measure it with two rods, and you can also accurately calculate the height of the gold mountain, and accurately calculate how many wins and losses between us are. ”
As early as when he heard the first sentence, Xiao Zhengze was already dumbfounded, "Only by establishing two optimus pillars can I be strong", is this what Xie Jialangjun, who has always paid attention to his noble character and elegant demeanor, can say?
"Xie Ling, you are really different from the Wang Xie disciples I have seen before, but you like this more and appreciate it more, people in the same way, people in the same way, don't you?"
Xiao Zhengze looked at Dong Xian and Xia Houhong and couldn't help laughing, and after laughing, he immediately ordered a few servants to move two iron poles over.
"Go, set up these two poles for Ben Hou!"
After a while, two iron poles floated on two large flags and set up on the two golden mountains, and as soon as the wind blew, the two pennants immediately turned up red waves.
Xiao Zhengze watched the two pennants fluttering, and the more he looked at them, the more pleasing they became, the more pleasing they became, and even the mood of looking at Xie Ling was extremely smooth.
"Now can we start competing arrows?"
"Okay, let's go."
The two bows were handed to Xiao Zhengze and Xie Ling respectively, Xiao Zhengze immediately took the bow like a full moon, but Xie Ling on the side actually asked: "Little Hou Ye, how should this bow be played?" ”
Xiao Zhengze was stunned for a moment, and Dong Xian and Xia Houhong on the side immediately burst into laughter, laughing so much that tears were about to fall out: Sure enough, he was a fool who didn't know archery.
"You can't play, so how do you agree to bet with me?" Xiao Zhengze asked.
"It's Master Hou, you said it's fun! So I agreed, and besides, this archery is not a difficult thing, you teach me, and I will learn it. ”
To say that archery is as simple as eating, this is not a fool or something!
Dong Xian and Xia Houhong leaned back and leaned back with laughter on the side, laughing so much that Qiu Shi, who had been standing quietly for a long time, was a little red-faced and embarrassed.
Lang Jun doesn't know how to shoot arrows, she is playing these three fools as monkeys!
However, Lang Jun must have her own intentions in doing this, she said that she must be very careful when she comes here today, and she can't make a mistake every step, so what does Lang Jun want to do?
At the beginning, Xie Ling couldn't even hold the bow steadily, and the arrow would be missed, so that a few servants who picked up the arrows hugged their heads and fled the scene, for fear that Xie Ling's arrows would shoot at them.
Not to mention shooting the five baht coin, Xie Ling's arrow couldn't even hit the target, seeing that the gold mountain that represented Xie Ling had been removed by half, Qiu Shi was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and he was wandering in place and almost stomped his feet: Lang Jun, what is this going to do?
"You are this Xie Ling's personal little maid! The little lady looks good, don't worry, your family should still have a chance to turn around. ”
Xia Houhong saw that Qiu Shi was so anxious that a layer of fine beads of sweat had appeared on his forehead, so he hurriedly came over to comfort him, but his eyes were extremely sticky to see Qiu Shi's chest.
"Really? Does my family really have a chance to turn around? Qiu Shi asked nervously.
Feng Huanlu turned around, Xie Ling must be dead this time, and when he loses most of the Xie family's manor, they will have a reason to go to the Xie family to collect debts, and the Xie family will definitely not care if he lives or dies, and obediently hand him over and let the three of them dispose of it.
When the time comes, how this kid will play, it's not up to the three of them to decide!
Xia Houhong thought like this in his heart, but said: "Of course, of course, little lady, it's better to ......"
As he spoke, his hand stretched out to Qiu Shi, but Qiu Shi jumped up suddenly, and smashed it with a fist waving Xia Houhong's nose.
Xia Houhong suddenly felt the sweetness in his nose, and he was about to scold in pain: This dares to beat me!
There was a cry of surprise from Qiu Shi in his ears:
"Lang Jun, he won, he won!"
Xia Houhong turned his eyes and saw that one of Xie Ling's arrows "swished" and hit a five-baht coin on the target.
Didn't you just hit one? It is necessary to rejoice like this!
But then Xia Houhong couldn't laugh, because Xie Ling's arrows were almost every shot, and the five baht coins shot each time increased exponentially.
Dong Xian was stunned on the side, his feet trembled uncontrollably, and Xiao Zhengze refused to admit defeat and competed with Xie Ling again and again.
Seeing that the golden mountain representing Xiao Zhengze was getting smaller and smaller, the servants who recorded the number on the side had begun to become anxious.
"Master Hou, you have already lost nine million gold, is it time to stop." The servant reminded.
"Stop and do what, go on!"
He didn't believe that he was a person who had practiced archery for more than ten years, but he couldn't compare to a beginner.
Xiao Zhengze once again pulled the bowstring in his hand, "whoosh", the arrow went into the air, and fell down with four or five five-baht coins.
Xie Ling did not show weakness, he drew his bow like a full moon, and he could only hear a "whoosh" sound, and the arrow seemed to have eyes and would turn, and a string of five baht coins fell down.
The old servant took the five baht coins on the arrow and counted them, wiped his sweat, and exclaimed in shock: "Thirty-four! ”
How is this done?
Xiao Zhengze didn't believe it, he grabbed the five baht money, and counted it himself, and sure enough, no more, no less, exactly thirty-four.
Suddenly, he seemed to understand something: this Xie Ling, he didn't know how to shoot arrows, but he was simply deceiving him and playing him!
But I didn't expect that a weak child of the scholar clan would be so good at archery!
"No more playing, no more playing!"
Xiao Zhengze hatefully threw the bow and arrow on the ground, and stepped on it a few more times: "What a broken bow!" ”
"Then Xiao Hou Ye, is today's game over here, can my Lang Jun take the silver you lost and go home, Xiao Hou Ye still has a note!"
The note was already in Xie Ling's hand, the corner of Xiao Zhengze's mouth twitched, and he almost snatched the note in Xie Ling's hand without holding back.
Xiao Zhengze doesn't want to tear his face now, and when treating a literati like Xie Ling, he must have the high standard and elegance of a literati.
"It's still early, why is it over! I haven't had a good time yet, so I guess Xie Langjun is the same, let's have another competition. Now, though, it's not like archery! ”
"What's that?" Qiu Shi was a little scared and asked curiously.
"Write poetry!"
