This is a truth that Cheng Yaojin realized after suffering many losses.
But now, it's obvious that some people don't understand.
However, Cheng Yaojin was happy to be a fool.
He said bluntly: "Since the three of you are bullying His Highness together, then I won't join in the fun."
"I will follow His Highness and bet that every score of No. 10 will exceed 90."
"If it can't be surpassed..."
Cheng Yaojin rubbed his chin, glanced at Li Chengqian, and said, "I will treat you to a meal for a month on behalf of His Highness!"
After hearing this, Yuchi Jingde jumped out without waiting for anyone else to say anything.
"Lao Cheng, you said this yourself, you can't go back on it."
How could Yuchi Jingde let it go if it was not easy to seize the opportunity to take advantage of Cheng Yaojin?
At that moment, he said: "When the time comes, I will go to the most expensive restaurant."
“It doesn’t matter how expensive it is?”
Cheng Yaojin’s smile was also extremely hearty.
He said: "I, Old Cheng, have a lot of money."
Seeing his appearance, Li Chengqian couldn't help but laugh.
He lay down next to Cheng Yaojin and whispered: "Uncle Cheng, aren't you afraid that I will trick you?"
"Afraid, of course I'm afraid."
Cheng Yaojin chuckled and said, "But I also know that you never fight an unprepared battle."
Speaking of which, it was Cheng Yaojin who understood Li Chengqian.
I know this guy will never make a bet without any reason.
As long as you bet, it must be when you are sure of winning.
At this moment, Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but feel curious.
He looked directly at Candidate No. 10 who was waiting outside the school grounds and said, "Tell me the truth, where did this sharp archer come from?"
"He is just a common man."
"It's just that there were some opportunities in his early years that gave him some skills."
Li Chengqian's eyes were directed at Candidate No. 10 on the school field.
At this moment, the examinee seemed to feel that someone was watching him, so he turned back towards Li Cheng. Look over here.
When their eyes met, both of them smiled.
And who could this candidate No. 10 be?
Nothing more than Xue Li, who was extremely courteous to Li Chengqian.
At this moment, Li Chengqian suddenly shouted to Xue Li: "I have placed a heavy bet on you, but please don't embarrass me!"
Hearing this, Xue Li couldn't help but be stunned.
Then, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Soon, the fourth team of candidates came on stage.
The first subject to be studied is mounted shooting.
Each person has ten arrows, and the number of hits in the ring is assessed.
Originally, the other three were quite panicked when they heard Li Chengqian shouting at Xue Li.
Because they all felt that His Highness knew this guy, and if he didn't protect himself, he would really lose.
But after seeing that the results of the nine people ranked ahead of Xue Li were not ideal, the three of them couldn't help but become more confident.
Especially Yuchi Jingde, he directly taunted Cheng Yaojin and said: "Old Cheng, why don't you just surrender? We can surrender and lose half."
"shit."
"When did I, Old Cheng, admit defeat?"
"Besides, I haven't shot an arrow yet. How do you know I will lose?"
Cheng Yaojin rolled his eyes and said, "It's up to you to figure it all out and explain it to your wife when you get home..."
Hearing this, Yuchi Jingde ignored him and looked at the field to himself.
At this moment, it was finally Xue Li's turn to take the stage.
Following the examiner's order, Xue Li slowly walked to the predetermined shooting position.
After standing still, he put on his bow and arrow, aimed at the target and shot out.
I could only hear a whooshing sound in my ears.
The arrow he shot went straight to the target like lightning.
No one around them could see clearly what was going on, and there was a muffled sound in their ears.
He raised his eyes to look at the archery target again, only to see that the arrow target had been penetrated by Xue Li's arrow.
The arrow hit exactly the right spot, the bull's-eye.
Seeing such a scene, Yuchi Jingde and others couldn't help but stand up.
Damn it.
There is actually a talented person hidden among the candidates.
You know, it may be easy to hit the bull's eye with an arrow, but there are not many people who can penetrate the target.
What's more, all the archery targets used in the examination hall are specially thickened.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to stand up to what the candidates are doing.
Li Shimin and Li Chengqian had experimented before, and found that they could not shoot through this kind of arrow target unless they used a specially made heavy bow.
But what about Xue Li?
He used an ordinary examination bow.
But his arrow was pierced through the thick target with one arrow.
What surprised them more than that was that Xue Li shot nine more arrows in a row.
Without exception, these nine arrows all hit the center of the target, and all ten arrows penetrated the target.
It seemed that he wanted to use this method to prove that what just happened was not a coincidence.
Saw this scene.
Cheng Yaojin in the stands suddenly burst into cheers.
He said directly to the three people around him: "Hahaha, you guys are going to lose."
"When the time comes, don't blame me, Old Cheng, for ordering too many dishes."
All of a sudden, several people looked a little sad.
It doesn't matter if you lose, after all, these few people in front of you are not short of money.
But they were indeed a little unconvinced when they lost to Cheng Yaojin.
Especially when he allowed this guy to win by lying down.
Yuchi Jingde snorted coldly and said: "It's not the person you brought out. This is His Highness's person. You are just joining in the fun. What’s there to be proud of?”
"Hey, I'm so proud, what can you do to me?"
"When you get back, remember to treat me to a restaurant for a month!"
Cheng Yaojin smiled and said: "And here, you won't lose even half if you surrender!"
Yuchi Jingde is really not afraid of losing.
What he fears most is Cheng Yaojin looking so proud in front of him.
Damn it, he got caught this time too.
But what can be done?
Who told me to be careless and gamble for him?
Seeing them like this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but smile.
He said: "Uncle Cheng, Uncle Yuchi, please stop arguing. Why don't I treat you to dinner when we get back?"
"This bet today is just a joke."
Li Chengqian looked directly at Xue Li in the field and said: "At the same time, I just want you to see if this guy can become the top pick in our martial arts competition."
After hearing this, several people present looked at each other.
Afterwards, it was Cheng Yaojin who took the lead and said: "Besides other things, this guy's shooting skills alone are enough to put many people in the dust."
"That's right."
Su Dingfang rubbed his chin and said, "It's just that we didn't see how good this guy's riding and shooting skills are."
"That's it for a flat shot."
"The mounted shooting shouldn't be too bad either."
Hou Junji pondered for a moment and said: "As for whether he can become the number one scholar, we really have to see how good he is at both foot and horse shooting..."
After all, level shooting involves standing still, while mounted shooting and infantry shooting both require moving and shooting. You can imagine how difficult it is.
But is this a big deal for Xue Li and Xue Rengui, who can reach the Tianshan Mountains with three arrows?
For him, it's all about archery.
After a while, Xue Li's grades also came down.
No surprise, he became the first and only person to achieve perfect marks in archery in the first martial arts competition of the Tang Dynasty...
