Feng Heming

Chapter 116 Gambling
Jiang Yuanxi raised his eyelids, his eyes swept over the team of maids, and focused on the team of strong men.

The muscles on his body are bulging, his steps are steady and powerful, and his appearance is energetic. These are all men with fists and kicks.

Jiang Yuanxi looked at the hands of the strong men again. Those men's hands were full of calluses. Judging from the extent of the calluses, it should be caused by frequent practice with arrows.

Jiang Yuanxi saw apples on the plates held by several maids behind him, and he knew it.

The Su family is one of the organizers of this Yaji banquet, and Su Langjun proposed to have fun. Of course, it is impossible to find some people who are not good at archery to play. It would be bad if there is blood at such a banquet up.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuanxi lowered her head again and continued to eat. Listening to the whispers in her ears, she could already feel the lively atmosphere in the arena.

"Everyone, these good men are the guards of my Su family. They all have good archery skills. Why don't we come here to bet? They have numbers like one, two, and three embroidered on their backs. Look at them." See who you want to bet on, and then bet against each other to see who is better at their archery skills, whoever bets wins, and the loser will give his bet to the winner, what do you think?"

Su Langjun said loudly with a smile, and everyone applauded loudly.

At this time, betting is a common practice in the capital, as long as there is something interesting, everyone can make a big bet, Jiang Yuanxi did it before, and it is the same now.

And this is a gamble that everyone can participate in, which makes the gamble even more lively.

Immediately someone shouted, "Su Dalang, you said that the men of your Su family are good at archery, seeing is believing, you can't let us make blind bets, right?"

This remark has been echoed by many people. This is a real money bet, that is, one person gets one gold, which adds up to hundreds of gold in a game. Everyone's money is not blown by the wind. Even if you want to gamble, you have to See if it's worth their bet.

Su Langjun laughed loudly, "It's simple, show off your archery skills to everyone present."

The ten men agreed in unison.

Su Langjun ordered someone to hang a copper coin under a big tree, and immediately there was a man standing thirty steps away, drawing a bow and nodding an arrow.

"call out"

"it is good!"

The copper coin was shot down with one arrow, and everyone applauded in unison.

After doing this nine times, the next nine people also showed their archery skills in the same way.

"Su Dalang, you are trying to test our eyesight. Every hero can shoot through the copper coin, but the others are not exposed, which makes us very troubled."

Someone shouted loudly, with excitement in his voice.

Su Langjun laughed loudly, "It's interesting to gamble, isn't it?"

"Okay, don't say anything else, let's start now." You Lang Jun yelled, "I'll beat the No. [-] hero, and he can hit the apple hanging on the maid's waist with one arrow. Bet against me?"

"Here I come, I will bet on hero No. [-], and bet that he can intercept the arrow of hero No. [-], and I will also pay for hardware." Lang Jun immediately responded.

The betting between the two came out, and they put the hardware on the tray at the same time, and asked the maid to put it away for the time being.

"Haha, I'm with No. [-] hero, hardware."

"I'm also optimistic about No. [-] hero, pressing hardware."

"On the contrary, I think that hero No. [-] can stop hero No. [-]. I beat hero No. [-] and hardware."

"I have the same hardware as No. [-] hero."

Not only the lords followed suit, but also the young ladies followed suit. In just a quarter of an hour, the bets on the field were over a thousand.

More than 1000 gold, lying quietly on the tray, sparkling under the sunlight, dazzled many people's eyes.

Seeing this, Mr. Lang, who bet on the No. [-] hero at the beginning, shouted loudly: "How about we decide the outcome with five arrows? Whoever bet on the hero wins will get the hardware."

The man who gambled also promised loudly, "Yes."

Seeing that the two of them had agreed, Su Langjun clapped his hands and said, "Let's get started."

Soon a maid came out, an apple was placed on her head, her hands were stretched out, with the palms facing up, and there was also an apple on each side, two apples hung on the left and right waists, and two apples on the top of the shoes. apple.

This time the bet was on the apple hanging from the maid's waist. Thirty steps away from the maid, No. [-] hero and No. [-] hero were already standing in front of a red silk scarf.

The maid's face was a little pale, but she tried her best to stabilize her body. She knew that if she trembled in fear, it was very likely that the arrow that hit the apple would hit her in the waist.

"let's start."

With the sound of this voice, the maid tightly closed her eyes, and the No. [-] hero also picked up the arrow, narrowed his eyes, and let go of the apple on the maid's waist.

An arrow next to it hit the first arrow of the No. [-] hero halfway, and it was intercepted by the No. [-] hero's arrow.

"Okay! Good shot!" The person who pressed the No. [-] hero applauded loudly.

The number one person was not to be outdone, and some even stood up and shouted, "Hero number one, shoot the apple quickly!"

These young people were all drunk, their faces were flushed, and they were even more excited by the atmosphere in the venue.

The No. [-] hero drew out a second arrow, squinted his eyes and shot it, and another arrow next to him intercepted the second arrow.

"Okay! Good! The No. [-] hero is doing well!"

At this moment, the maid had already been knocked down by the force of the sharp arrow. The apple hanging from her waist had an arrow stuck in it. It turned out that the No. [-] hero immediately shot the third arrow after shooting the second arrow. Hero No. [-] couldn't stop him, so he could only watch Apple being shot.

"Accepted, thank you for your gold!"

Lang Jun, who bet on the No. [-] hero, stood up, bowed his hands to the bettor with him, and said with a big smile.

According to the rules, the person who gambled at the beginning, after getting back his own bet, can get [-]% of the total bet of everyone on the other side, and the remaining [-]% is shared with the bettor who won.

The No. [-] hero was rewarded with hardware, and the other heroes saw it, and their eyes were filled with envy.

The Su family also said that the maid doesn't need to go on to the second round, she can go down to rest.

Jiang Yuanxi took out hardware from the gold he had won, and rewarded it to the maid in public. When she rewarded the maid, she smiled and said, "How can you reward the hero but forget the maid? Let's work together."

This is just a trivial matter, and no one would compete with Jiang Taifu's granddaughter. The maid who was still in shock thanked her and took the gold back.

Jiang Yuanxi continued to bury her head in the food. She just felt that it was very dangerous for the maid to be a target. She couldn't change the fate of the maid, she could only get something for her.

Soon the second maid was also brought onto the stage with an apple on top of her head. A gentleman stood up and said loudly, "I crushed hero No. [-] and hit the apple on top of his head."

Before the person who gambled with him got up, the maid went limp and fell to the ground, crying out, "No, I don't want to be a target"

In just an instant, the atmosphere on the court suddenly cooled down.

Su Langjun's complexion suddenly turned as cold as ice, and the way he looked at the maid was like looking at a dead person.
