Lord Pingyuan, I won this time." Ying Zheng said to Zhao Sheng.
"Indeed, Young Master Zheng won. That thirty thousand gold is yours.”Zhao Sheng's smile stiffened like a paper figurine."After I kill you, this divine bow will belong to me.”
"Thank you, Lord Pingyuan." Ying Zheng said.
"Young Master Zheng, I have a request.”Zhao Sheng looked at the Sun Shooting Divine Bow with a burning gaze, and his heart was restless.
"What request?" Ying Zheng threw a glance at Zhao Sheng, causing the latter to take a few steps back involuntarily. Terrifying illusions appeared in his eyes, mountains of corpses and seas of blood, as well as the sun, moon, and stars.
Zhao Sheng tried to calm himself down, but he was sweating profusely. He couldn't help but return to the table and grab the wine bottle. The wine cup that he usually held in his hand and played with was not worth mentioning. At this moment, it seemed to be Zhao Sheng's life-saving straw.
He gulped down a mouthful of wine and forced himself to calm down. Then, he said his request,"Can I take a look at the Sun Shooting Divine Bow?”
"It's not impossible for me to let you take a look.”Ying Zheng said.
"Young Master Tingzheng, don't tell me you're not happy? I'm just looking and have no other intentions.”Zhao Sheng explained.
"Lord Pingyuan has misunderstood. It's not that I'm stingy, but this Sun Shooting Divine Bow has already gained sentience and thinks that I'm its master. As for others who touch it, they might be hit by the Sun Shooting Divine Bow, especially those without morals.”Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Sheng from the corner of his eyes and said.
Zhao Sheng's face twitched. What immoral person? He was clearly referring to him. If he did not touch the Sun Shooting Divine Bow, it would be indirectly admitting that he was immoral.
He coughed hard and said," Young Master Zheng, I am Lord Pingyuan of the State of Zhao. I have thousands of followers. I saved the people of the State of Zhao from danger. I am not an immoral person."”
"Lord Ping Yuan has misunderstood again. I am not saying that Lord Ping Yuan is a person without virtue.”Ying Zheng chuckled, but Zhao Sheng's face fell.
Misunderstanding was a misunderstanding, but it was better than being treated as an immoral person. The ancients had always valued reputation, and Zhao Sheng was the same. It was because of his reputation of being good at raising guests that he had gathered so many hanger-ons under him and had the power he had today.
Therefore, Zhao Sheng could not let the word 'immoral' fall on his head.
Ying Zheng stretched out his right hand and spread his palm, blocking Zhao Sheng's way.
"Young Master Zheng, why is this so?" Zhao Sheng was puzzled, but he was already suppressing his anger.
"Touch it. Fifty thousand gold taels." Ying Zheng said lightly.
"You might as well go rob!" Zhao Sheng was so angry that he vomited blood. He glared at the eight-year-old youth in front of him.
"Cough cough! Lord Pingyuan, please don't slander me. I'm clearly setting the price and not trying to snatch the property by force. I'm different from those bandits in the mountains. Moreover, if you don't give it to me, I won't force you. It's just that I can't let you touch the Sun Shooting Divine Bow.”Ying Zheng gave a dry cough and patiently explained the basic knowledge to Zhao Sheng.
Zhao Sheng gritted his teeth and thought to himself, This is indeed not robbery, but this is even worse than robbery. Seeing the Sun Shooting Divine Bow, he really likes it. He said,"Good! Young Master Zheng, wait for me. After I finish looking at the Sun Shooting Divine Bow, I will order someone to go to the residence to retrieve it.”
"Good! I'm sure Lord Pingyuan isn't lying to an eight-year-old child like me.”Ying Zheng said.
"Don't worry, Young Master Zheng!" Zhao Sheng said. He had originally wanted to forget about it if he didn't give it to them, but now that there were so many people, if he didn't give it to them, it would be really embarrassing.
Wei Mou was so angry that he wanted to kill someone. Zhao Sheng, the Lord of Pingyuan, only gave him a hundred taels of gold, but he gave Ying Zheng eighty thousand taels of gold, which was eight thousand times more than Wei Mou. This Zhao Sheng was simply treating him like a beggar. It was really unforgivable.
If it wasn't for his reputation, he would have left right now.
After killing Ying Zheng, he must take the opportunity to raise the price, otherwise, it would be a huge loss.
Under everyone's gaze, Zhao Sheng came before the Sun Shooting Divine Bow. Looking at the golden glow, Zhao Sheng was excited.
"I advise you not to touch it." Li Cunxiao reminded.
Zhao Sheng acted as if he hadn't heard anything.'You don't want me to touch it, but I, Lord Pingyuan, will touch it.' He reached out his right hand and tapped the bow gently with his finger. Before he could even touch the bow, he heard a loud bang. The Sun Shooting Divine Bow shone brightly with golden light, and the two dragons seemed to have come to life. They emitted a terrifying dragon might that shook the world.
Zhao Sheng was sent flying and landed on a table. The table broke, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of Zhao Sheng's mouth. The food on the table stuck to his clothes, and his hair was messy. He looked very sorry. He struggled to get up. Two maids hurried up and helped Zhao Sheng clean up the filth.
Gao Jianli was only 16 years old, so he wasn't very shrewd. He couldn't help but laugh out loud and said,""This Lord Pingyuan actually said that he was virtuous.”
"Lord Pingyuan has really lost his face this time.”Yan Dan sighed. Naturally, he was happy that Zhao Sheng was unlucky. After all, Zhao Sheng came to Yan Dan this time to show off and to frame him. He did not have a good impression of Zhao Sheng at all.
Wei Mou didn't say anything, but the smile on his face betrayed him. Zhao Sheng cheated him of so much gold. He deserved it.
Lianpo covered his face. He couldn't stand it anymore. This Zhao Sheng was the shame of Zhao. It was hard to believe that Lord Pingyuan, who used to be all-powerful, had such a side to him.
"This divine bow has already gained sentience, and has identified Ying Zheng as its master.”Han Jie voiced his guess.
Zhao Sheng dismissed the maids and tidied his clothes. After hearing Han Jie's words, he lost his mind in anger and shouted,"Young Master Zheng harmed me!"
"Lord Ping Yuan, don't slander this young master. This young master will never harm you.”Ying Zheng laughed coldly.
"If you didn't harm me, why would I be sent flying by the Sun Shooting Divine Bow? The guard beside you can hold the Sun Shooting Divine Bow, and your contributions far surpass this ordinary guard. How can you not be qualified to hold the Sun Shooting Divine Bow? You must be secretly scheming.”Zhao Sheng said.
"Haha! It seems that Lord Pingyuan has a deep prejudice against me! I've already said it earlier. Perhaps Lord Pingyuan didn't hear it clearly. What I said was that you can't touch people without virtue. Otherwise, you'll be shot by the Sun Shooting Divine Bow. It's not a matter of merit." Ying Zheng said lightly.
An immoral person!
Everyone in the hall burst into laughter. It would have been fine if Zhao Sheng had not retorted, but now that he did, he looked like a clown.
Changing the three targets into five targets was obviously what Ying Zheng meant by a man without virtue, a man who did not keep his word and went back on his word.
However, Wei Mou had another thought,""No wonder Zhao Sheng couldn't touch the Sun Shooting Divine Bow. He's obviously immoral and cheated me of a large sum of money. Although Ying Zheng is young, he gives me a feeling that he is even more dangerous than assassinating the King of Wei.”
