"Aren't you... worried about losing?" Liu Yun's face was full of doubts.
Singer Lin Qing set up a pergola and looked at the flags stretched out on the hunting ground: "Until the last moment, we still don't know who will win. Is it too early for you to draw a conclusion?"
"But……"
"Because King Qin always goes around the hunting ground and comes back, do you think he will definitely lose?"
"Isn't this enough?"
Liu Yun's eyes widened, she was very similar to the childish and cute Liu Qing, and she looked very cute.
Lin Qingge looked at him and couldn't help but reach out and pinch Liu Yun's cheek: "Of course it's not enough. What you saw was just the appearance and you didn't see his true strength at all."
"Strength? That sick man?"
After complaining, Liu Yun probably realized that this sentence was inappropriate and covered her mouth with her hand.
But when she thought about Zhou Chenghan, who walked with three sway steps and was more beautiful than a woman, she couldn't help but shook her head: "He is too weak."
"Just because he is weak doesn't mean that the people under him are also weak. Besides, as usual, he should be back with his horse by this time, right?"
As she said this, Liu Yun realized something was wrong and said softly "Huh".
"Calculating the time, it's really time to come back. My attention was attracted by your bet just now, but I didn't expect that it was already so late."
"Don't worry, he will definitely not leave early this time, and will give everyone a big surprise."
"How do you know so much? Are you familiar with King Qin?"
Well……
It’s definitely a question that will force you to be offline in seconds if you don’t answer it correctly!
Lin Qingge couldn't say that Mr. Jiu, Zhou Chenghan and Su Yunting conspired to make her set up Lin Qiuyue when she was attracted by the cat's meowing in the middle of the night last night, right?
She pondered for a moment and said softly: "As His Majesty's most beloved prince, King Qin, how can the people under his command be weak? Besides, it's because his body is no better than that of ordinary people, and the talents around him are even more incomparable."
It sounds reasonable, but upon closer inspection, it is full of loopholes.
The confusion in Liu Yun's eyes did not diminish by half, but instead deepened: "These are all your speculations, without any evidence, so you bet fifty thousand taels? In the end, you bet on Yixiaotang?"
Lin Qingge: "..."
Well, needless to say, she sounded quite sick.
Sure enough, it is not easy to cover up lies with lies.
Just when she was scratching her head and thinking about how to cover up this matter, Liu Yun continued: "Okay, I won't ask further. Fifty thousand taels of silver is a lot less, but it's just that much. If you lose, treat it as nothing. As for Yixiaotang, it is your medical skills that make it profitable. Even if you lose, it doesn’t matter, I also have a few good stores in my hands, and I will use them to make medicine halls for you when the time comes."
Every word and every sentence was the purest concern for her, and Lin Qingge felt a little deeper in guilt.
She coughed slightly and changed the subject: "It's a rare opportunity to come out. You are wearing riding clothes today. Let's go and have a look around. If you can catch a rabbit, roast it on the spot. It will definitely taste delicious!"
"Wow, you're so nice!"
Liu Yun's eyes lit up instantly. How could she still remember the content of the conversation just now?
"They all said it was too cruel to skin them on the spot, but I thought they were pretending! When they ate the meat, I didn't see any of them not being able to bear it. They all said it tasted delicious!"
…
Above the jungle, Zhou Chenghan sat on his horse slightly shaky, with a sick look between his brows and eyes.
"Third brother."
Zhou Chengzhang chased after him from behind, and said with a hidden smile: "In previous years, you always walked around in a circle and went back. Why did you go so far this time? There must be some secret in it, right?"
"It's really a bit of a secret." Zhou Chenghan raised his red lips, and the smile on his face was very charming.
This sentence aroused Zhou Chengzhang's curiosity: "Is it possible that the third brother has some magic weapon to win?"
He squinted his eyes, looked at the mountains and forests in the distance and smiled: "Isn't it possible that Third Brother has already been inside, hiding some unknown animal?"
"My father does not allow such behavior, so naturally I will not do it. But I heard that Mrs. Chu bet fifty thousand taels for me, which is a lot of money. It is always inappropriate for me to go back too early."
He said it very casually, but the corners of Zhou Chengzhang's eyes twitched slightly.
Naturally, he knew about the betting arranged by the chamberlain.
But Lin Qingge's bet on Zhou Chenghan caught him by surprise, and made him even more angry!
She was just a pretty, married woman, just pretending to be in front of him.
He could bow his head for the final victory, but how could she bet on Zhou Chenghan!
He wouldn't believe it if there wasn't anything going on between them.
Zhou Chengzhang secretly clenched his fists with a calm expression on his face: "The third brother has only recently returned to the capital, and I have never heard of any close relationship with the eldest daughter of the Lin family before. How can she have such confidence in the third brother?"
"Probably because General Chu and I are both seriously ill, so it makes the young lady feel something."
"Is that all?" Zhou Chengzhang stared at Zhou Chenghan, obviously not believing it.
He coughed quietly for a while and sighed softly: "We are both fallen people in the world, so why should we meet before. The seventh brother cannot empathize with our situation, and naturally cannot understand it."
It was a very in-depth explanation. Zhou Chengzhang continued to ask questions, but he seemed to have something in his heart.
But the doubts in his heart were not resolved.
"Then when General Chu wakes up, he and Third Brother may become close friends. By then, Third Brother's future may be different."
Zhou Chenghan wanted to answer, but he coughed again.
His personal guard immediately stepped forward and handed him a pot of warm tea: "Your Majesty, take a sip of hot tea."
Then the guard bowed to Zhou Chengzhang again and said, "Your Highness, Prince Qi, my prince is considerate of his frail body, so I am afraid that I cannot go with him."
Zhou Chengzhang looked at the abnormal blush on Zhou Chenghan's face and was filled with doubts but could only suppress it.
"Third brother, if you feel unwell, go back early. If you are worried about losing face because of too few prey, just rest here. When evening comes, seventh brother will share with you a percentage of the prey!"
After speaking, Zhou Chenghan rode away without waiting for a reply, raising a puff of smoke.
"The tone is really not small."
Su Yunting, who was wearing guard clothes, walked out of the crowd with his usual frivolous look on his face: "This brother of yours really doesn't like you at all, and I don't know how you can endure it until now."
"Otherwise?" Zhou Chenghan handed the teapot to the guard, "Kill him, where can we find such a good guy?"
Zhou Chengzhang never imagined that the power in the court that he thought he had worked so hard to cultivate was just leaked to him through the fingers of others.
Su Yunting shook his head and sighed: "Sure enough, the most ruthless emperor's family. He and I helped you seize the throne. Wouldn't it be the end of the rabbit? Then he and I, after dealing with King Qi, will have to deal with it. is you."
