Unmatched Soldier King - C52 Middle Yuan Section
C52 Middle Yuan Section
“Denean has an extremely high business talent, she’s the best candidate to be the treasurer.”
The emperor nodded with a smile. “I hope that you have the Imperial Household Department. We have already tried our best to be frugal with our resources in the palace. ”
“Your Majesty, rest assured. This subject will definitely not delay the usage of medicine in the palace.”
Suddenly, the emperor jokingly scolded him, “That so-called Nuclear Crystal Furnace of yours, didn’t you make it earlier and gave it to me earlier, and you even covered it up for fear of others knowing about it? A few days ago, it was really freezing me to death. ”
“This subject wasn’t considerate enough and didn’t offer it to the emperor earlier. This subject knows his wrongs.” Ye Tian said in shame.
“Alright, since you’ve solved Yu and Yue Er’s problems, then let’s not talk about this anymore.”
With that, the emperor turned around and asked Lin Chengzhou about the winter military competition. In a short period of time, all of the ministers who were in charge of the preparation of Military Court spoke out each word, and there was basically nothing left for Ye Tian to do.
The officials discussed for about half an hour and basically settled all matters regarding the military competition in the winter.
After exiting the palace, Ye Tian sat in the carriage and ran towards Jade Lake West Garden.
Sitting in the carriage and looking at the street outside, Ye Tian suddenly felt that the Beijing today was different from usual.
Normally, both sides of the purple gold main street were filled with people, but today, there were even more people. They were all side by side, and there was a sea of people with a small lantern in each of their hands.
The style of the lantern was very strange. It looked more or less like a human head, but the head seemed to have been deliberately designed to look terrifying.
Ye Tian looked at Hong Sheng who was driving the car and asked: “Hong Sheng, what day is it today? Why is everyone on the streets holding a Wry Face Lantern? ”
Hong Sheng answered: “Sir, today is the Chinese Festival, commonly known as the Ghost Festival. People have to go out and run away. ”
“Chinese Festival?” Ye Tian pondered.
In his previous life, there was a festival called ‘Ghost Festival’. However, it did not have the customs and habits of a ‘Ghost Face Lantern’.
At this time, Hong Sheng opened his mouth again and said, “My lord, on the evening of the Zhongyuan Festival, people usually take out lanterns and go out to eat. In the evening, you should come out with the other madams as well. It is said that during the night of the Mid-Elemental Festival, there will be rich and influential people in the coming year. ”
Hearing Hong Sheng’s words, Ye Tian couldn’t help but cough twice.
He still hadn’t become a lady yet, but he was about to become a lady now.
But why was the progress so slow?
He lacked the ability to chase girls, and he hadn’t improved at all since he transmigrated.
Hong Sheng’s words made Ye Tian unable to restrain his reverie. It had been a long time since he had last wandered the streets with Mei Rou. Now there were Bi Ling and Denean, as well as two Western Little Princess. Bringing along a large group of beauties, shopping and eating and chatting on the bustling streets of the imperial city was such a wonderful life.
He first went to Royal Labor Union, found Ruan Ji to pay two thousand silver, and then returned back to Jade Lake West Garden. Coincidentally, Mei Rou, Bi Ling, and Denean were in the backyard sparring.
Amongst the three of them, Mei Rou was the strongest, Bi Ling was second, and Denean was the weakest. But at the same level, although Denean’s Talisman Line was not a threat to Mei Rou, it was still a huge problem for Bi Ling.
At this moment, the Horned Land Dragon that Bi Ling had summoned was trapped by a few of Denean’s Talisman Line, forming a cage.
The single-horned land dragon wanted to break through the Talisman Line several times, but was cut by the Talisman Line instead.
Under Denean’s control, the cage made of Talisman Line gradually shrank and eventually attached itself to the single-horned land dragon’s body, gradually strangling it to the point where it couldn’t breathe.
A quarter of an hour later, the one-horned land dragon collapsed to the ground and exhaled its last breath.
Mei Rou laughed as she said, “Talisman craftsmen are indeed powerful. Denean is only a Rank 2 Symbol Master, while Bi Ling is already an Elementary Beast Soul Summoner. She is two whole levels higher than Denean, yet they were still only able to fight to a draw. ”
Bi Ling was slightly unconvinced. She pouted and said, “I haven’t summoned the most powerful wild beast yet. I’m just afraid that I might hurt little sister Denean.”
Seeing Ye Tian walk in, Denean said happily, “Sir, you’re back.”
The three beauties stood in a straight line in front of him. Ye Tian’s vanity was a little inflated as he said: “You guys should all know it, right? What day is it today?”
Bi Ling raised her head and thought for a while before saying, “Today is the Chinese Festival.”
“As the saying goes, you have to leave home to slip away during the Mizar Festival. Let’s not stay at home and roam around together.” At this point, Ye Tian patted his chest, raised his head and said: “I brought two thousand taels of silver with me today. Let’s go outside and enjoy the meal.”
Mei Rou glared at Ye Tian, while Bi Ling and Denean covered their mouths as they laughed.
What was especially lively during the Chinese Festival was the night market. Every shop had big lanterns hanging from their doors, and everyone held small lanterns in their hands. The streets were filled with bright lights and flowing neon lights.
Ye Tian and his group of six strolled along the Fifth Avenue. Aside from Mei Rou, Bi Ling, and Denean, who bought some clothes that fit them perfectly, the rest were mainly Anqi and Sophie. They were like two pigs that didn’t have enough to eat, tasting the various snacks on the street from time to time.
When they were almost to the central plaza, Angel was pleasantly surprised as she pointed at the crowd of people in front of them, “Look, it’s the Oca Hercules.”
Ye Tian and the others surrounded him and squeezed into the crowd.
He saw a muscular man, whose body was entirely covered with muscles, lifting a six-foot square boulder.
That huge rock weighed at least 500 pounds. The brawny man’s arms were full of strength. With a “heh” sound, he lifted it up, causing everyone to loudly cheer, and they all threw the copper coins into the basin beside the brawny man.
Anqi and Sophie also begged to throw the copper coins. Ye Tian smiled and took out a bunch of copper coins from his pocket and gave it to Anqi and Sophie. The two of them picked out a few and threw them to Hercules.
After seeing Hercules, the group walked forward again. A short while later, they arrived at the central square.
The square was very flat, and the surrounding streets were located far away from it. At the center of the square, there was a huge wooden birdcage. A large group of people surrounded them.
Ye Tian and the others surrounded him and squeezed into the crowd.
When he got closer, he saw that the birdcage was even larger, like an empty temple. In front of the birdcage, there was a table, and even a string of bows and arrows.
A middle-aged man wearing a hat stood in front of the birdcage and loudly said: “This is a Cloud Eagle that was captured from the God Demon Valley. Anyone who is knowledgeable should know, the Cloud Eagle’s flying speed and agility, as well as its ability to avoid danger, are definitely the best amongst all the birds.”
With that, the middle-aged man walked to a corner of the huge birdcage and reached his hand inside, opening the door of the lowest iron cage.
A gray shadow suddenly flew out and circled the huge birdcage twice, and then landed on a relatively tall branch inside the birdcage.
“Anyone who is more confident in their archery skills can give it a try.” It was fine to bring a bow and arrow of one’s own, or even use the bow and arrow of this place. “Let’s bet a tael of silver each. If it hits, two taels of silver will be yours. If it doesn’t, then two taels of silver will be mine.”
“Out of the way, out of the way.” A loud roar came from the back of the crowd.
A burly man holding a huge bow pushed his way through the crowd.
Walking in front of the birdcage, the big man first took out a tael of silver and placed it on the table beside him. He said in a rough voice, “This is one tael of silver. If I hit it, you can accompany me for ten taels of silver.”
The middle-aged man smiled and said, “A good man must be joking. Business rules must be followed. If you manage to hit it, these two taels of silver will belong to you.” As he spoke, the middle-aged man took out a tael of silver and placed it on the table.
The big man harrumphed and did not argue with the middle-aged man anymore. He reached behind his back to pick up the huge bow, and took out an arrow from his waist. He nocked the bow, pulled the string, and stared straight at the Cloud Eagle in the birdcage.
The Cloud Eagle seemed to have predicted the approaching danger and turned its small eyes, looking ready to fly away at any moment.
The long arrow left the bowstring with a “bang”.
Judging from the sound of the wind produced by the arrow as it left the bow, the speed of the arrow was definitely not slow. If this was an army camp, the big man would definitely be considered a top-notch archer.
But the arrow went through the gap in the cage and into the cage. With a “tut”, it nailed itself to the spot where the cloud eagle had stopped.
The Cloud Eagle had long since disappeared.
The crowd went into an uproar. After a careful search, they discovered that the Cloud Eagle was resting on an unremarkable branch on the other side of the birdcage. Its two small eyes were still rolling around, as if it didn’t care about the arrow at all.
“Aiya.” The big man stamped his foot, “This thing is too strange.”
Looking at the tael of silver on the table, the man curled his lips and panted heavily before turning around and walking away.
Ye Tian watched the entire process from beginning to end. It wasn’t that the big man’s arrows were slow, but that the cloud eagle was too fast. Ye Tian reckoned that even if he used Oca Longbow s, he might not be able to hit the Cloud Eagle 100% of the time. But if we use Pulley Type Steel Crossbow s, the probability of success is higher.
Angie was lively and active. She had a strong desire to seek out more and a strong desire to win. At this moment, as he looked at the Cloud Eagle in the huge birdcage, his eyes emitted a scorching light.
Turning around, Angie took Denean’s hand and said, “Sister, let me shoot an arrow. You know, in the Royal Academy in Yingxi Empire, I learned archery, and I even got first place in the shooting competition. ”
Denean frowned and said, “Didn’t you see that that person couldn’t even get shot at? Do you think your archery is stronger than his? ”
Angel continued seriously, “Although his arrows were fast and strong, this only proves the power of the arrow. It doesn’t mean it is accurate.”
“In terms of accuracy, I definitely won’t lose to him.” Angie said.
Denean was helpless. Just as she was about to shake her head and refuse, Ye Tian said, “But Cloud Condor is very fast. Even if your accuracy is very high, how can we ensure that it won’t be able to dodge your arrow?”
Angie lowered her head in thought, then looked up and said, “That would only make your arrows faster.”
