46 Gamble life

"It's my turn." Ye Lily's words were light but carried a strange chill.

It seemed as if the voice came from the ninth heaven and hit Cai Lin heavily in front of him.

The cold sweat on Cai Lin's forehead slid down his face. He stared at Ye Lily in a daze.

Ye Lily took a few steps forward and bent to pick up the longbow on the ground.

Everyone in the audience watched her every move, not willing to turn their eyes away.

This was an unexpected scene.

They originally thought they would see Ye Lily fainting from fear or losing her composure.

But she was fine at all. Instead, Cai Lin was sweating profusely and none of the three arrows hit.

After a short silence, the people below the stage began to talk one after another.

"Truly a tiger father has no dog daughter! This Miss Ye has great courage!"

The person who spoke has a good relationship with Ye Xin on usual days.

He was a little skeptical when he heard the fact that Ye Lily was stupid before.

But seeing her today, he only said those words were rumors.

With such courage and spirit, how could she be a fool?

Clearly, it was deliberately done by someone with a bad intention to smear the girl's reputation.

"Indeed. You see, she didn't even blink just now.

If the arrow was a little off, it would have scratched her cheek.

This girl really has the style of a general. Even for us, we would probably be scared."

"Don't you see whose family she is from?

The daughter of General Ye can't be bad?

It seems that those words before were all rumors and not trustworthy.

Alas, no wonder someone deliberately smeared her. A tall tree catches the wind.

Being so outstanding at a young age, no wonder it makes people jealous."

Most of the people in the officialdom have a good attitude towards Ye Xin.

After all, there are many interests connected.

Besides, they act in the court all day and are not as careful as the women in the backyard.

Their views on things are also different.

Before, Ye Lily was too young. Now that she is growing up, she naturally shows her excellent nature.

Zhou Wang and Jing Wang looked at each other.

Jing Wang shook his head and sighed, "It seems that both of us were wrong. She is really a bold person."

"Is Lao Jiu regretting now?" Zhou Wang smiled and looked at Xu Hao,

"Such an unusual woman. How could you have refused before?"

"People won't change overnight.

Either this Miss Ye met some expert or she deliberately pretended to be stupid before.

In either case, Lao Jiu, you have lost." Jing Wang said.

Xu Hao smiled and said, "A fair lady, but unfortunately not the one I like."

Does he regret? Xu Hao doesn't feel so.

But Ye Lily's calm appearance in his eyes is a little dazzling.

He also doesn't believe that people will change completely overnight from before.

Could it be that she was pretending to be stupid before? But why did she pretend?

Was it deliberately to make him dislike her?

Liu Yan put down the tea cup.

Somehow, he was just very worried about Ye Lily just now.

But she unexpectedly held steady.

Not only that, she even scared Cai Lin so much that he couldn't even draw the normal arrows well.

Is Ye Lily so powerful?

"Surely a wonderful person." Prince Yu smiled satisfactorily, staring at Ye Lily's figure closely,

"I wonder... What it feels like?"

Liu Yan frowned. Prince Yu's words probably mean something dirty and shameful again.

Unfortunately, he has little power and can't do anything.

"You lost." On the attic, Xiao Jack was sitting by the window casually and said calmly.

"It's actually such a result!" Su Mingfeng's eyes were almost popping out.

He looked at Xiao Jack and then at the stage in the distance and asked, "Did you already know?"

"Willing to bet, willing to lose." Xiao Jack stood up and patted the dust off his body.

"OK, I admit defeat. What's the punishment?" Su Mingfeng answered readily.

"After this competition, you celebrate and drink with me. How about the daughter red buried for twenty years?"

"You are really black-hearted." Su Mingfeng scolded.

Then he realized something and asked doubtfully, "But why celebrate? Is there anything to be happy about?"

"There isn't now, but there will be soon." Xiao Jack raised his eyebrows,

"Something very worth being happy about."

On the stage, Ye Lily handed the grass fruit to Cai Lin.

Cai Lin's hand that took the grass fruit was shaking.

He asked, "Ye Lily, have you ever learned archery?"

"Never." Ye Lily smiled at him,

"This is the first time I touch the bow today.

But since I can shoot three arrows, if one doesn't hit, there is the next one. Eventually, I will learn."

Cai Lin shivered and looked at Ye Lily in disbelief, "Are you kidding?"

Just now, Ye Lily was so calm and composed, as if she often did this kind of thing.

He luckily thought that Ye Lily must be an expert.

After all, Ye Xin is the mighty general. It's possible that he taught his daughter archery himself.

But now Ye Lily actually said this is the first time she touches the bow?

How dare she!

He said, "You know nothing. How can you shoot?

This grass fruit clearly can't be hit. Aren't I just going to die for nothing?"

"Lord Cai, you are too funny," Ye Lily spoke calmly.

Her voice was neither high nor low. When she spoke, everyone in the audience could hear.

Everyone watched the purple-clothed girl lower her eyebrows but have an aggressive momentum.

"When Lord Cai chose me to come on stage just now, you never asked if I knew archery.

When you shot arrows at me just now, you never asked if I would die.

How come when it's my turn to shoot, you ask if I can or not?"

These words left Cai Lin speechless.

Indeed, he just chose the archery that Ye Lily didn't know to vent for Ye Amy.

But now it's like lifting a stone only to drop it on his own feet.

"Miss Ye, my son is naughty. I apologize to you on his behalf. Don't take it to heart.

But you really don't know archery now. This will inevitably cause an accident. It's not good to pursue it with you."

Lord Cai finally couldn't hold back and suddenly spoke under the frequent glances of his wife.

As soon as the words came out, his old face turned red.

But there was really no way. Although it was embarrassing, it was better than losing his young son's life.

He even used "I", to threaten Ye Lily.

Although it's not good to bully a little girl like this, Lord Cai also blamed Ye Lily for being inflexible.

His tone involuntarily carried some dignity.

But how could Ye Lily be scared by an official?

She dealt with the Xiongnu, the royal family of Qin, and the emperor of Ming Qi. Ministers, she really didn't care.

So everyone watched as Ye Lily raised her chin slightly.

Lord Cai was originally standing under the stage.

So from a distance, it looked as if he was like a minister prostrating at Ye Lily's feet.

And Ye Lily's words made everyone stunned.

She said, "Lord Cai, just now I bet my life.

Now it's Cai Lin's turn to bet his life.

The life-and-death contract has been signed.

It's clearly written in black and white.

Even if I shoot him to death today, it's completely aboveboard and has nothing to do with it.

Willing to bet, willing to lose."

Before Lord Cai could speak, she continued,

"A person has no credibility if they don't keep their word.

This rule was proposed by Cai Lin himself.

Now going back on his word, could it be that Lord Cai also has such a style in the officialdom?

Once the situation is not good, he can change the rules immediately?"
