Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
The entire Liangzhou Guards were looking forward to this lively bet. Most of them bet that Wang Ba would win, while a small number of them stood on He Yan's side. Occasionally, when they passed by, they would hear people who supported He Yan arguing with the other side. "What's wrong with He Yan? He knows he can't do it, but he still does it. He's a real man! "
He Yan, who accidentally overheard them, "…"
However, no matter what they said, the bets were the best way to tell the people's hearts. There were only three biscuits that were bet on He Yan's victory. Xiao Mai, Shi Tou, and Hong Shan each had one biscuit.
Other than that, what made He Yan surprised was that there was an unknown person who actually bet ten pieces of beef jerky on He Yan.
"Who's so generous?" Xiao Mai thought hard. "He must be very rich to bet so much on A He Ge."
"Not only is he rich, but he also has a good eye." He Yan thought that there was finally a smart person in the military camp.
Hong Shan glanced at He Yan. "Unfortunately, his brain is damaged."
"Brother Shan, you can't say that. This person must admire A He Ge a lot, so he secretly supported A He Ge. If I had so much meat jerky, I would also bet on A He Ge. "
"Okay, small bets are fun, but big bets are bad for your health. Don't be so serious." He Yan took a sip of water from his water bottle and stood up. "We're going to the martial arts arena later. Let's get up and stretch our muscles."
Shi Tou asked her, "Can you really do it?" His eyes were full of doubt.
"I told you, I'm always lucky." He Yan smiled.
When they arrived at the martial arts arena, they found that Liang Jiaotou was already surrounded by many people. When they saw He Yan, someone shouted, "He Yan is here!" Instantly, a large group of people rushed over.
"Where is he? Where is he? "
"He didn't run away. He's really here!"
"Quick, have you prepared the biscuits?"
He Yan: "…"
This kind of treatment like being the moon surrounded by a myriad of stars really made people feel a little unaccustomed. Liang Jiaotou looked on coldly. Gambling was strictly forbidden in the military camp, but because they were using biscuits and under such circumstances, the head instructor had no intention of stopping them. Liang Jiaotou didn't say anything. Moreover, he was also hot-blooded and wanted to see what the outcome would be.
After all, humans were more or less addicted to gambling.
He Yan walked over and saw a young man dressed in yellow licorice standing beside Liang Ping. This young man had red lips and white teeth. He was in high spirits and looked very familiar. He Yan felt that he had seen him somewhere before, so he looked at him.
The young man saw her looking over and revealed a big smile. He walked over and said enthusiastically, "So you are He Yan!"
Was he here to see her too? However, looking at the young man's clothes, he didn't look like a new recruit in the military camp, nor did he look like an instructor. He looked no different from the son of a noble family in the capital.
"I've heard about you a long time ago. I admire you! I want to become sworn brothers with you. From now on, we will be brothers. How about that? "he said.
He Yan was confused. This person wanted to become sworn brothers with her. She didn't even know his name or surname.
At this time, Liang Jiaotou walked up and smiled at the young man in yellow. "Young Master Cheng, the Commander in Chief wants you to stay away from the crossbow."
Xiao Jue? He Yan suddenly remembered where she had seen this young man before. She and He Yunsheng were in the military camp and secretly taught Young Master Zhao a lesson. This caused Young Master Zhao to vent his anger on his beloved horse and wanted to kill it on the street. However, he was stopped by Xiao Jue. At that time, the person who was with Xiao Jue was this delicate young master.
Eh, he actually followed Xiao Jue to the Liangzhou Garrison?
"Uncle is too suspicious. It doesn't matter. The crossbow won't hit me." The young man muttered a few words and obediently retreated a little.
Uncle? He Yan was even more surprised. This young man was Xiao Jue's nephew? However, Xiao Jue's family only had two young masters and no other daughters. What kind of complicated relationship was this?
Before He Yan could think clearly, he heard a familiar voice. "You're here!"
It was Wang Ba.
He was also fully prepared today. He had already taken off his red robe and was only wearing a red robe. He was bare-chested and there was a long red belt tied around his forehead. He looked as if he was going to fight in the arena.
His voice was also very loud. He heard that the brothers in the tent had given him all the food last night so that he could use all his energy today.
He walked to the crossbow and stood next to He Yan. He looked at He Yan provocatively. "Ten days have passed. Now is the time for you to fulfill your promise."
"I remember. You didn't have to say it so loudly." He Yan picked at his ear. "You first."
Wang Ba snorted and moved closer to He Yan. He said in a low voice, "Is it too late for you to beg for mercy now?"
"That's exactly what I wanted to say to you." He Yan replied neither quickly nor slowly.
"I think you're looking for death!" Wang Ba sneered. He strode forward and said, "He Yan doesn't dare to go first. Then I'll go first!"
Sounds of discussion rose around them. He Yan shrugged and stood to the side. Hong Shan asked him in a low voice, "A He, are you nervous?"
"I'm not nervous." He Yan was somewhat helpless. He patted Hong Shan's nervous face. "So you don't have to be nervous even more."
"I'm afraid that he'll perform too well …"
In fact, Wang Ba performed very well every day. There was no such thing as "too well." He stepped forward, put the crossbow, and held the arrow with his fingers. Because of the bet with He Yan, Wang Ba practiced more diligently every day. He Yan could feel that his strength had improved compared to ten days ago, and his archery was also more stable than before.
The arrow was aimed at the grass target. At this time, the sun was covered by clouds, and a temporary coolness shone down. Wang Ba took a deep breath and suddenly released his fingers.
Everyone looked over. The arrow steadily hit the bull's eye, and the target fell down.
It was very stable. It was the same result as Wang Ba's daily archery practice these days. It was not easy to maintain such archery skills.
Liang Ping's eyes flashed with a trace of satisfaction. No matter what the result was today, Wang Ba was an excellent seedling. Such a person would be valued even if he was under the command of other instructors.
Wang Ba clapped his hands, put the crossbow back, and walked to He Yan's side. He showed a proud smile and asked, "How is it? It's your turn now."
He Yan smiled but did not say anything. He turned and walked forward.
"I'm coming, I'm coming!" Cheng Li Su excitedly craned his neck and whispered to himself, "Brother He Yan, I threw ten pieces of jerky into your body. Although it's not much, it's a token of my sincerity. Don't disappoint me!"
He Yan did not know that he was still burdened by Cheng Lisu's ten pieces of jerky. From the moment she walked to the crossbow, the surrounding discussion stopped. Everyone's eyes fell on her.
Was this brat spouting such arrogant words? Or did he have a unique skill?
But there were too few things in the world that could be called miracles. Except for a small number of people who hoped for a miracle, most people were just here to watch a joke.
He Yan picked up the bow.
