Women dressed as men: powerful officials

Chapter 27 The arrow is on the string and has to be fired

With the table as the center, more and more people gathered around it.

Most of them came to watch the fun.

Seeing this, Zhang Yue carefully tugged at Xuyuan's clothes and whispered, "Xuyuan, don't be afraid. If you lose, I can just kneel down and bark like a dog. Don't feel pressured."

Zhang Yue knew that the current situation was just like that sentence.

The arrow is on the string and must be fired.

Making a wish requires a gamble.

And making a wish shouldn't have been involved in this matter.

Blame him.

Zhang Yue’s feeling of guilt is beyond words.

Similarly, he also knew that even if it cost him his life, he would not let Xu Yuan leave the academy.

I wish to study hard and become an official.

Making a wish is different from him.

After hearing Zhang Yue’s words, Xu Yuan felt dazed.

Zhang Yue is always so good. Even if he is unarmed, he will stay in front of her until his death.

Thinking of this, Xu Yuan smiled and said, "Brother, believe me, I won't lose."

Dice is a popular game in the capital.

Three dice and a dice cup.

The dealer rolls the dice, and others can bet on big or small.

If the number on the dice is greater than ten, it is a big one.

If it is less than or equal to ten, it is small.

It's just that almost no young men play cricket fighting. Young ones still know how to fight crickets, but those over the age of 15 basically don't play it anymore.

When Xu Yuan first arrived in the capital, he learned about things like dice and gambling.

After watching it once or twice, she knew the tricks.

She knew that she should stay away from that place, so she never went there on her own initiative. Only once, and only once, did she sit at the gambling table.

That time, she lost.

It was also after that time that Shen Yichuan told her the trick of shaking the dice cup.

If you have good skills, you can even control the points.

From then on, she studied and practiced every day, and finally understood everything.

If Shen Yichuan were with him today, Xu Yuan would not be completely sure of winning.

But if Shen Yichuan didn't come, she would be sure to beat Cheng Jie.

Cheng Jie held the dice cup and shook it beside his ear. He imitated Shen Yichuan's behavior and threatened: "Xuyuan, you better think about it. If you lose, you will leave the school immediately."

"it is good."

Xu Yuan didn't say much and picked up the dice cup in the same way. Unlike Cheng Jie, she didn't put it to her ear to listen to the sound of the dice colliding as they shook. She simply shook it and then turned it upside down on the table.

When Shen Yichuan saw that look, his pupils shrank slightly, but after a moment, they returned to normal.

The feather fan was still swaying intermittently, but Shen Yichuan's gaze became more and more profound.

"Who do you think will win between these two?"

"Who cares who wins or loses? I just don't believe that even if he loses, that young master can really leave the school."

"This kid is not that old, how can he act on his own? How much does it cost to go to a private school for a year? He just wants to withdraw without even asking his parents?"

……

Hearing what was said around him, Cheng Jie, like Xu Yuan, turned the dice cup upside down on the table and said, "Xu Yuan, you can't afford to lose, right?"

"The worst that can happen is that I will have to leave the academy. There's nothing to lose."

Xu Yuan lowered his eyes to Cheng Jie's dice cup and said, "Open it."

"it is good."

Cheng Jie slowly moved the dice cup away, but did not take out the dice.

Zhang Yue looked over and couldn't help swallowing.

He was nervous.

Shen Yichuan also glanced sideways slightly.

Finally, Cheng Jie opened the dice cup.

When they saw the points, there was a sigh of relief all around.

"Ah! I thought it was that big, just disperse, disperse, there is no suspense anymore."

"This young master of the Cheng family is already doomed to fail!"

"There are still six points left. I think there's still a chance of winning. Maybe the young master has even fewer points?"

"Look again, look again."

He made a wish without hesitation and opened the dice cup directly.

Three dice, each with a six.

Zhang Yue immediately said: "Xuyuan, you are so amazing!"

Just now, Shen Yichuan wasn't this good at rolling the dice.

Cheng Jie was stunned and said immediately: "Xuyuan, you cheated! How can all of them be six o'clock!"

"Why, Cheng Jie, you can't afford to lose?" Xu Yuan asked back, and then added: "Besides, with so many people watching, what can I do to cheat? Even if you are not as skilled as others, just admit it generously. On the contrary, it is your behavior of not being able to afford to lose and blaming others that will make people look down on you."

"You must have cheated, otherwise how could you be so powerful?"

"If you think I'm cheating, why not play another round? But I have to tell you, the stakes won't be the same if we play another round."

Xu Yuan looked at Cheng Jie with cold eyes, "Cheng Jie, are you still coming?"

Hearing those cold words, Cheng Jie's legs suddenly went weak.

He didn't know why, but ever since Xuyuan fell into the water, he always felt that Xuyuan had changed.

When I made wishes in the past, my eyes were timid and I never straightened my back.

Not to mention confronting him, even looking at him would make me tremble.

Now, Xuyuan is not only bolder, but also excellent in everything.

Saved Song Xiujing and kicked him out of the academy.

Even his own father favors him.

Cheng Jie didn't understand what had happened to cause a person to change so much.

But he knew that he could not continue gambling.

If he continues to gamble, he will definitely lose.

But if he didn't gamble, he would be a lost dog today!

Thinking of this, Cheng Jie forced himself to calm down and said, "I..."

"Mr. Cheng."

Shen Yichuan closed his feather fan and interrupted Cheng Jie. He smiled and said, "You two are only fifteen or sixteen years old. Why do you have to force me? Just treat it as a joke today. Since it's a joke, I won't take the money. Mr. Cheng, what do you think?"

Cheng Jie could tell that Shen Yichuan was trying to save face.

He looked at Xu Yuan and said through gritted teeth, "Yes."

Shen Yichuan nodded and said, "Everyone, go home, Master Cheng, it's time for you to go home."

Shen Yichuan spoke, Cheng Jie did not dare to disobey, but he still turned around and glared at Xu Yuan fiercely, and said: "Xu Yuan, there is still a long way to go, let's wait and see."

"I'm at your service anytime." Xu Yuan smiled and didn't take it seriously.

But now Cheng Jie is not even worthy of her attention.

The people around him gradually dispersed. Seeing that Xu Yuan had no intention of leaving, Zhang Yue whispered, "Xu Yuan, let's go too."

"Brother, wait a minute, I have something else to say to Mr. Shen."

After Xu Yuan finished speaking, he looked at Shen Yichuan and asked, "Mr. Shen, can I have a word with you for a moment?"

Shen Yichuan raised his eyebrows.

The way he made the wish didn't seem to be for settling scores later, nor for what happened before. So, what was there to talk about between him and himself?

After thinking for a moment, Shen Yichuan said, "This way, please."

There was no one in the alley.

Shen Yichuan asked the servant to wait outside, thus completely eliminating the possibility of others eavesdropping.

Xu Yuan felt slightly relieved and watched Shen Yichuan get straight to the point.

"Mr. Shen, I don't know why you are targeting me, but I want to tell you that I have no ill will towards you, and I will not stop you from doing what you want to do. Mr. Shen, you haven't taken the national exam yet, right?"

Shen Yichuan narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Xu Yuan took out the city defense map from his bag and handed it to him, saying, "I know you came to Sishui County to do something for someone, so this city defense map is my gift to you. Now if you hurry back to the city, you can still spend the New Year with your family. Go back, Sishui County is not the place you should come to."

This is a credit to Shen Yichuan, and also a reason for him to escape and return to the capital.
