Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 413 Fighting
"Can you feel it?" Li Ji looked at the bait in his hand and silently took a bite.

"No..." Zhao Guang was a little frustrated, and paused, "It's just a subtle premonition."

"Looks like I guessed it right?" He frowned, "Nan Chu used to do tricks, but this time he didn't make it to the second round, so what's the point?"

"Maybe it's not Nanchu," Li Ji said calmly while eating the cake.

"No?" Zhao Guang's eyes widened.

"That old man seems to be a little surprised," Li Ji said.

"Old man?" Zhao Guang was taken aback, "Mr. Mengyang?"

"Yeah," Li Ji nodded, "but he's a heavenly rank, so he can't fail to find out. In short, Nan Chu didn't stop him."

So there is nowhere to go.

"Then someone really played tricks in the lottery? Then what did you do, second brother?" Zhao Guang became excited, and the next moment he thought of the cinnabar from the former Qin Dynasty and the blank lottery he had drawn, and looked at Li Ji in disbelief. , "Aren't you..."

Li Jiming was able to intervene in the lottery, but Soochow got the next lottery in this lottery. Could it be that this person cheated his own country and wanted to...

"It's purely bad luck that you got the lottery," but before he could say that outrageous guess, Li Ji interrupted him.The man's dark eyes under the mask glanced at him speechlessly, "What are you thinking?"

"Do you think I deliberately let Qianqin draw the lottery?" He said quietly.

Careful thinking was broken, Zhao Guang's eyelids twitched, and he said with a dry smile, "No, I definitely didn't think you would do it for..."

He suddenly stopped and changed his words, "No, it's just that the tricksters before were all specially drawn for people to win the lottery, so I thought..."

After all, they can intervene in the lottery. Under normal circumstances, who would not directly interfere with the result of the lottery?
"Does someone draw the lottery?" Li Ji repeated lightly, and the next moment he said quietly, "I just let everything really be determined by luck."

Zhao Guang was startled when he heard the words, but he saw the boy in coarse cloth raised his head with a cold pancake.

He has the ability to cheat for his country.

By doing so, he risks being hunted by the harsher world he belongs to.

"I just counteracted the true qi intruding in the lottery box. As for what you draw, that is your own luck."

He spoke quietly.

"I think this is the time," Li Ji put down the heavy mask on his face, hiding all his emotions, "It's better to be fair."

……

……

There was a moment of silence in the forest, only the humming of cicadas could be heard.

Looking at his elder brother who looked like a stone statue beside him, Zhao Guang exhaled slightly.

"I think so," he said.

Li Ji looked at him with dark eyes, although it was faint, but Zhao Guang confirmed that the man showed a little smile.

"However, my luck is too bad," Zhao Guang leaned against the tree behind him and sighed, his eyes became serious the next moment.

"Second brother, should Soochow play in the next match?"

The next second round, for Soochow, was an almost unwinnable match.In this case, countries often abstain directly.

After all, since you can't win, abstention can also reduce the consumption of practitioners in your country.

At this time, whether to choose to abstain from voting has become the choice faced by the stepson.

The eyes under Li Ji's mask quietly glanced at Zhao Guang, "This is a matter for the stepson of Soochow Wu to decide."

"And the current Soochow stepson," he looked deeply at the young man beside him, "it's you."

Zhao Guang was slightly taken aback, and the next moment he patted the cake crumbs on his hands and straightened up.

"Okay, then I'll go back, do you want to stay here?"

Li Ji nodded and said lightly, "It's more suitable for me to stay here."

"It's said that the son of the family who was the stepson of the previous Eastern Wu also came today. He invited me to his box before. I'll wait for him to hang around before making a decision." Zhao Guang looked at Li Ji and said.

"I am leaving."

……

……

"Soochow will probably abstain this time, right?"

When everyone outside was eating dry food, in the box under the high platform outside the racecourse, the young masters and ladies here were no different from those in the restaurant.

It's just that it can't be reserved like in a restaurant, and many aristocratic families can only share tables with each other.

And at the dinner table, the least important topics were the previous draw and the next game.

Hearing the female companion beside her say this, Ye Jingshu, who was sipping soup, put down the spoon, wiped her lips and smiled, "It should be."

"After all, you can't win. What's the point of fighting such a game that has no chance of winning? For the sake of face?" Ye Jingshu shrugged and sneered, "If you lose, you will lose your face, and you will really lose your face."

"So the Ye family plays polo for the sake of face?" Li Jinniang, who was sitting across from her, said calmly while eating her own food.

"You..." Ye Jingshu's eyes welled up with anger, and she was about to explode when a soft and sweet female voice suddenly came from outside the box.

"Excuse me, I'm Xu Bingqing, the Saintess of the Northern Wei Dynasty. I want to use this place for a while, okay?"

"Northern Wei saint?" Ye Jingshu, who had been interrupted when she heard someone knocking on the door, was looking angry, but when she heard the other party's name, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Northern Wei Saintess? This one is here?" The other ladies looked at each other in blank dismay, "Did you come here for dinner?"

After the guards outside confirmed that she was indeed the saint of the Northern Wei Dynasty, everyone except Li Jinniang showed surprise expressions.

Although the country is different, it has to be said that it is a pleasant surprise for these noble ladies to be able to get in close contact with the saintly lady of the Northern Wei Dynasty, who is famous for her superb wrists.

"So, excuse me," at this moment the door of the box was pushed open, and Xu Bingqing, the Holy Maiden of the Northern Wei Dynasty, appeared in front of the door with a smile.

"It really is..."

"I've only seen her from afar before..."

Ye Jingshu got up slightly, but Xu Bingqing just raised her hand to look at her, "I was the one who interrupted you, so you don't need to be polite."

After she finished speaking, she walked lightly across the threshold with lotus steps, but at this moment people found that there was another person following her.

A slender girl in white coughed softly while walking.

"This is?"

"Maid girl?"

"But this face looks like I've seen it somewhere before."

The noble ladies in the room were discussing a lot, but in a corner where no one was paying attention, Li Jinniang, who had turned a blind eye to Xu Bingqing's appearance, suddenly shrank her pupils when she saw the girl behind Xu Bingqing.

"Who is this……"

Although someone asked in a low voice, Xu Bingqing seemed to have no intention of introducing the identity of the girl in white.

She just showed a smile to the noble ladies present, "There is no room for other boxes. I heard that there are two noble ladies from the Nanchu Jia family in this box. I will try my luck."

"Where is there, you should be talking about Ms. Ye and Ms. Li," a noble lady warmly introduced. Before she could finish speaking, there were many footsteps outside.

People who looked like cooks appeared holding some lacquer boxes.

"Meng Ge, go and get the plate back."

Listening to Xu Bingqing's words at this time, Li Jinniang's eyes flickered.

She knew the girl's identity.But he didn't expect Xu Bingqing to use her as a maid.

What is this woman trying to do?
