It was not a modern person who would think that things had nothing to do with him. Li Si did not participate in the bet and smiled at Ye Qing. He thought to himself,'The Moon Goddess is highly regarded by the King of Qin, and this demon master is also not ordinary. It seems that it's better to interact more in the future.'
Ying Zheng did not wait for the Moon Goddess to bow and said with a smile.："Demon Master of the Yin-Yang School, you should be prepared.”
Ye Qing bowed." "Reporting to the King of Qin, the Little Taoist has nothing to prepare. As long as General Meng Tian has the target ready, it will be fine.”
Ying Zheng laughed loudly. "If the Cloud-Piercing Crossbow can really penetrate heavy armor from 120 steps away, then Demon Master has done a great service for the State of Qin. Not only will I reward you with the Sword of the King of Qin that I promised you, but I will also reward you handsomely.”
Ye Qing chuckled. "I wonder what else the King of Qin plans to reward you with.”
Hearing this, everyone turned to look at him. Even the Moon Goddess, who knew Ye Qing's character, quietly took two steps away. She really couldn't afford to lose face.。
He had seen thick-skinned people, but he had never seen such shameless people. Even Ying Zheng was a little surprised. When a subject was given a reward, the subject could only thank him and receive the reward. He would accept whatever was given to him. Who would dare to be picky? But from the tone of the demon master, it seemed like he wanted to bargain with him!。
Even Meng Tian and Wang Jian had cold sweat on their palms. Although Ying Zheng was a man of great talent and great strategy, he was cruel and vengeful. Who would dare to talk to him like that?
Li Si looked at Ye Qing with a strange gaze. This kid was sinister and cunning when he schemed against people. Even Wang Jian and Meng Tian could not help but fall into his trap. Sometimes, he was like an insatiable country bumpkin. He really did not know how he managed to blend into the Yinyang School.
Ying Zheng was silent for a moment. "What else do you want?" His indifferent words carried a supreme majesty. All the civil and military officials in the main tent of the central army were silent out of fear, not even daring to breathe loudly, for fear of angering Ying Zheng.
Ye Qing's expression was as usual, not affected by Ying Zheng's imperial aura at all.："Reporting to the King of Qin, it is only a matter of time before the State of Qin unifies the Nine Regions. The Little Taoist's offer of the Cloud Piercing Crossbow is just icing on the cake.”
Ying Zheng laughed out loud as he was secretly pleased by Ye Qing's flattery.："I've already said that as long as the Cloud Piercing Crossbow can pierce through heavy armor within 120 steps, it will be a great achievement for you. Even though Great Qin's laws are strict, rewards and punishments are clear. Since you have made a contribution, you must be rewarded handsomely.”
Ye Qing smiled. "I'm from the Yin-Yang School, and I'm working for Great Qin. However, I'm a mischievous little Taoist. If I'm in the Imperial Court, I'll inevitably offend the King of Qin with my words.”
This was the second time Ye Qing had rejected Ying Zheng. Even the Moon Goddess's heart trembled. Ying Zheng was not someone who would dare to reject anyone. He stole a glance at Ying Zheng, with a smile on his face and eyes. He did not get angry because of Ye Qing's refusal, and only then did he feel relieved.
Ying Zheng asked curiously," "In that case, I don't know what to reward Demon Master with. It's better for Demon Master to say it himself!。”
Ye Qing bowed. "The Little Taoist loves to travel, but the Great Qin Empire has strict military laws. It is difficult for the Little Taoist to travel from the mountains to Xianyang. The Little Taoist wants to ask the King of Qin to give him a pass token so that the Little Taoist can travel unimpeded.”
Yueshen looked at Ye Qing in surprise. She thought that he would ask for some gold, silver, and jewelry if he refused to be an official. Who knew that he would ask for something useless? As a demon master of the Yin-Yang School, he could go anywhere in the world. If anyone dared to block his way, he coughed lightly and reminded this kid if he should change his conditions.
Ying Zheng gave Ye Qing a deep look, then took off the jade pendant with nine dragons hanging from his waist and placed it on the table.："Alright, I'll do it. If you defeat Meng Tian, I will give you the jade pendant.”
Ye Qing was overjoyed. "Then please give the order, General Meng, to arrange the targets.”
Meng Tian's heart was filled with jealousy and hatred. The Meng Clan had made many meritorious deeds for the Great Qin Empire, and the King of Qin had only rewarded them with fame and fortune. However, Ying Zheng had never given them a jade pendant that represented the King of Qin.
Not only Meng Tian, even Wang Jian was envious. The jade pendant represented supreme authority. As long as the Demon Master won this bet, he would be able to hold the Qin King's God-killing Sword and hang the jade pendant that Ying Zheng carried around his waist. He would be even more powerful than a noble, and even the three dukes and nine ministers of the imperial court would have to kneel down and bow before him. Today, this kid had made a huge profit.
Ying Zheng looked at Meng Tian," "General Meng, are you ready?"
Meng Tian bowed and said," "Reporting to the King of Qin, the target is ready. Please move.”
Ying Zheng stood up and led his ministers out of the main tent.
The target was made of straw filled in the bronze heavy armor of the commandant of the Supreme Court. Although the target was very large, the straw had greater resistance than human bodies and was harder to penetrate. Meng Tian carried the target and walked 120 steps forward.
Ye Qing laughed in his heart. This kid was tall and his steps were much faster than ordinary soldiers. However, he was about to get the mansion's treasured horse, God-killing Sword, and Nine Dragon Jade Pendant, so he was too lazy to argue with Meng Tian.
When Meng Tian returned, Ye Qing received the Cloud Piercing Crossbow and smiled at Wang Jian.："Lord Marquis, please test it."
This kid clearly didn't want to show off his sword in front of the King of Qin. Wang Jian secretly praised the Demon Master for being meticulous. He chuckled and took out the Cloud Piercing Crossbow from the jade plate. Following Ye Qing's instructions, he placed the arrow box into the slot and swung his arm to load the arrow.
Everyone looked at the Cloud Piercing Crossbow in Wang Jian's hands. Even the Moon Goddess couldn't help but feel worried. To be able to pierce through a finger thick bronze armor at such a distance, they had never even heard of such a powerful crossbow, let alone seen one.
Not only did one need a well-made bow and arrow, but one also needed a soldier with extraordinary arm strength. An eight-picul bow was not something that anyone could pull open. However, when Wang Jian loaded the Cloud Piercing Crossbow, he shook the rocking arm with ease and did not seem to be strenuous at all. Whether the Cloud Piercing Crossbow had such a long range affected everyone's mind.
Ge Nia coldly glanced at Ye Qing, his face unconcerned.
Even though she had been through many battles, Meng Tian's heart was still beating fast. This arrow would win or lose a luxurious mansion.
Ying Zheng stood with his hands behind his back. His figure was not tall and straight, but he had an imposing manner as if he was the ruler of the world. He asked with a faint smile.; "Demon Master, aren't you worried at all?。”
Ye Qing smiled evilly. "Reporting to the King of Qin, the bet is the Moon Goddess 'Imperial Advisor's residence.”
Yue Shen gritted her teeth. Her sword-like gaze seemed to pierce through the white veil covering her eyes. You've tied me up on a pirate ship, and now you're still pretending to be obedient after getting a bargain. Watch how I deal with you in the future.
Meng Tian was also furious. This kid was simply shameless. He won the mansion's horse and kept the divine sword and jade pendant in his own pocket. If he lost, it would be the Moon Goddess's. He would not lose out either.
