Ge Nia was startled. Did this kid know something? He shook his head firmly.："I'm not betting."
"Sigh, then forget it." Ye Qing shook his head and sighed.
The Moon Goddess looked at Ye Qing and turned her gaze to Ying Zheng. She was worried that the Demon Master might not know what was good for him, and would drag the King of Qin into the gambling game and make him bet with the treasury of the Great Qin. By then, the situation would really be out of control. He quickly coughed. "Let's do it this way. Your Majesty the King of Qin and Lord Li Si, the chief justice of the court, will vouch for it.”
The eyes of the guards in the hall almost popped out. Ever since they became the palace guards of Xianyang Palace, they had never seen such a farce. Even the King of Qin, who had always been so dignified that no one dared to look directly at him, was involved.
The two warhorses were chasing each other. A hundred and twenty steps was already a distance that could be covered by a single horse. At this distance, all the cavalrymen would stop their warhorses and give up on chasing.
Although this bet was absurd, it was of utmost importance to the State of Qin. If they could really get a Cloud Piercing Crossbow that could pierce through heavy armor from a hundred and twenty steps away, and mass-produce and equip their troops, Ying Zheng would be willing to pay for a mansion for Ye Qinggai himself.
Ying Zheng did not get angry, but he could not understand why the discussion in the royal court had suddenly turned into a gamble. However, Wang Jian was right. This demon master of the Yin-Yang School was indeed an interesting person.
Li Si recalled the words and deeds of the Monster Master when he first came to Xianyang Palace. He suddenly realized that the Monster Master didn't show any fear even when the King of Qin, Marquis Wucheng, and him, the chief justice of the Supreme Court, coerced him. Instead, he used the influence of the Moon Goddess in the imperial court to play hard to get and successfully got the God-killing Sword. He looked at the jade plate in Ye Qing's hand. The handle of the Cloud-Piercing Crossbow was glossy and smooth, without even a single hair.
Li Si was shocked and suddenly understood. How could this kid not know the true shooting range of a Cloud Piercing Crossbow that was frequently used?。He was just using Meng Tian's unbelieving mentality and Marquis Wu 'an's doubtful mentality to take advantage of the situation and cleverly set up a trap.
If the Moon Goddess didn't know that this kid would win, she wouldn't have been willing to bet on the luxurious mansion. He was also worried that Meng Tian and Wang Jian would renege on their debts and let the King of Qin and him be the guarantor. These two people were completely in cahoots, working together to scam Meng Tian until she went bankrupt, causing Wang Jian to cry silently.
If the bet was not the Moon Goddess's extravagant Right Protector Mage Manor, Meng Tian and Wang Jian would not have been blinded by money. They would have been able to see through the oddity very quickly. They would not have placed such a heavy bet and made a gamble that was destined to be a one-way ticket.
Li Si broke out in a cold sweat. He had witnessed the entire situation with his own eyes. It wasn't planned by the Demon Master and the Moon Goddess. It was an accident. This kid was wise and agile. Fortunately, he was only greedy for money and not keen on fame. Otherwise, would he still be able to survive?。
A gentleman could bully a prescription, but Li Si was not a gentleman. Materialism was the true ideology of Legalism. No matter who blocked his way, he would mercilessly kick them away. If Ye Qing was really passionate about fame, with the contribution of the Cloud Piercing Crossbow and his deep wisdom, he would soon gain Ying Zheng's favor and rise to the top.
Li Si would rather offend the Yin-Yang School than make up a crime and kill this kid to prevent future trouble. However, this kid treated fame like dirt, and a feeling of mutual appreciation arose in his heart.
Li Si looked at Meng Tian, who was preparing to take over the Protector's Manor, and Wang Jian, who was smiling. These two were also militarists who were skilled in the battlefield. Their schemes were also superb. How did they all fall into the Demon Master's trap?
" This kid is a monster." Li Si shook his head and sighed bitterly. He bowed and smiled as if it had nothing to do with him.："Reporting to the King of Qin, I've already arranged the venue. It's at the Golden Fire Cavalry's camp.”
Ever since Jing Ke assassinated the King of Qin, the imperial guards and Ying Zheng's personal guards had appeared in Xianyang Palace. It was a capital crime for a foreign official to bring a three-inch iron into the palace without permission. Li Si did not dare to challenge Ying Zheng's mind of an emperor. Therefore, the testing ground for the Cloud Piercing Crossbow was arranged in the west of Xianyang City, in the drill ground where the Golden Fire Cavalry were stationed.
The Golden Fire Cavalrymen were brave and good at fighting, and the military camp was heavily guarded, which was enough to ensure Ying Zheng's safety.
Ying Zheng nodded and walked out of the Palace of Xianyang first, boarding the imperial carriage. A large group of people followed closely behind, riding on palanquins and horses as they marched towards the drill ground.
Ye Qing had wanted to find an opportunity to meet Ge Nia, but when he saw Ying Zheng's carriage surrounded by a large number of heavily armored Imperial Army soldiers, and Ge Nia standing beside the carriage, he had no choice but to board the Moon Goddess's carriage.
"Lord Demon Master, how dare you use my mansion as a stake.”Yueshen didn't wait for Ye Qing to sit down and attacked first. Women were all petty, let alone being schemed against by their subordinates.
Ye Qing was already prepared for the Moon Goddess to question him.："Moon Goddess, you already knew that this subordinate would win.”
Moon Goddess let out a light snort and said calmly.："Are you planning to move out of the protector's manor after you defeat Meng Tian?”
Ye Qing hurriedly said," "Lord Moon Goddess is overthinking things. Lord cares so much for this subordinate. Even if this subordinate is heartless, I wouldn't dare to have such thoughts.”His gaze drifted to Yueshen's crystal clear face, but unfortunately, the white veil covered her bright eyes, so he couldn't read her thoughts. However, she took this matter very seriously. Could it be that she wanted to sleep with me? The boss was cheating on his subordinates. Should he resist or push the boat with the current? This was a really complicated question!。
Yueshen smiled and said gently.："It's good that you know. Then why do you want a mansion?”
"If the bet was gold, would Meng Tian still bet with me?，The three generations of his family had all led troops to war. When they won a battle, the officials would first move the property they captured back home, and the rest would be handed over to the national treasury. Meng Tian did not care about gold, silver, and jewelry. What he wanted was the exquisite and elegant residence of the country protector.”Ye Qing looked aggrieved." "However, as a Marquis, Wang Jian is really stingy, using three broken horses to fool me.”
"Stingy." The Moon Goddess sneered. "Each of these three warhorses is worth thousands of gold. I've never seen someone so stingy.。”
Ye Qing did not expect the three horses to be so valuable and was shocked.："Lord Moon God, are you serious?"
"Why would I lie to you? These three horses are all good horses that can travel thousands of miles. Wang Jian treasures them like his life.”The Moon Goddess smiled happily. "However, if Wang Jian loses this time, his heart will ache to death. Right, is there any problem with your Cloud Piercing Crossbow?，If you lose, I'll be homeless too.”
No matter how high the Moon Goddess's cultivation was, she was still a woman. She had a petty side to her and couldn't help but want to confirm it.
