Chapter 138 The Bet Begins

"It's okay!" Xuan Chen said in a deep voice. "I just saw my father and my mother. They are watching the lanterns on the third floor of the 'Peacock Tower'. With my father here, I will be fine!"

"This..." Several guards hesitated.

Xuan Chen lowered his face and said, "Don't you guys want to do it by my side? If that's the case, I'll tell my father when I go back!"

Only then did the guards decide to compromise.

Xuan Chen pulled Wen Jinyu up the ring from the side steps, the ring master brought some chairs over and put them on both sides of the ring, Xuan Chen let Wen Jinyu sit on the south side.

The people on Wen Xiao's side sat to the north, Princess Wancui also adjusted her mood now, and looked at Wen Jinyu with a kind of dark and inexplicable eyes, with undisguised curiosity in her eyes.

She dared to bet anyone that this person was not Xuan Yirou, but she couldn't recognize Wen Jinyu.

She was really curious, because Xuan Chen, the son of the eldest son, was notoriously difficult to get along with in the capital. As far as he knew, apart from the girls from the Xuan family, the Baili family, and the eldest princess in the palace, he was very interested in him. All the little girls are honest.

It broke the hearts of countless little girls who had a crush on him.

She couldn't help thinking, is there any way to get this girl to take off the scarf on her face, and let everyone see whose girl is actually able to walk with this "little devil" Xuan Chen.

Wen Xiao suddenly said: "Xuan Chen, you have to take out all the riddles in your hand, otherwise, it will be unfair to me!"

Xuan Chen took down the purse from his waist indifferently, took out all the riddles inside, and threw them to the crowd in the audience.

People scrambled like crazy, this is not just a piece of paper with riddles written on it, this piece of paper can actually be exchanged for things.

Even a lake pen is good for them!

The ring leader sent someone to take out a gong, and announced: "Young masters, wait a minute, I will strike the gong once, and you will start the competition. Remember, you must come back at [-] o'clock in Haishi. I will not wait when it is over. At that time, I will strike the gong, a total of twelve times, and the last gong is sounded, and people must come back..." Before he finished speaking, the drumstick in his hand had already hit the gong.

With the sound of "嘡", the two figures left the arena like lightning and shot at the lanterns at the lantern festival.

What Xuan Chen said to the guards just now was true, he did see his parents watching lanterns in a restaurant not far away.

Speaking of which, this Peacock Tower is also his family's business, and the upper floor has long been emptied of guests, only his parents and younger sister are on it.

At this time, a middle-aged man in his 40s and dressed as a guard hurried to the third floor of the Peacock Tower, and saluted the Changping County Prince and his wife: "My lord, my concubine, my son bet with the third young master of the Wen family to win today!" The first prize of the Lantern Festival."

Prince Changping asked with interest: "What about the bet?"

"1 taels of silver!" The guard replied truthfully.

"Oh?" The princess of Changping County raised her slender eyebrows and sneered when she heard the words. "This brat, he didn't study well, but he actually learned how to gamble! I don't care about him who usually makes small troubles. He dares to gamble with 1 taels. He really doesn't know what to do! If he loses later Pants, I won't let him in!"

The King of Changping County laughed and said: "He is really a brat. His father and I are so poor that we are almost begging for food. He actually gambled for 1 taels. If he wins later, I have to find him for fame!"
