C87 One Thing Is One Thing
After taking the ball around two or three supervisors, Qu Chu intended to continue forward. However, he did not expect that he would be surrounded by the enemy in a moment of carelessness, and only Yunshu was not entangled in the vicinity.
As for why no one dared to stop Yunshu, it was naturally because the supervisors would first choose the opponents they were familiar with to intercept. This way, it would be easier to successfully stop her. The scholars knew how much the Smiley Face Tiger King valued Miss Yun. If she were to be injured in the process of blocking her, they didn't know how many lives they had left for the Smiley Face Tiger King to take care of her.
Xiao Heng originally wanted to guard the other side's dragon gate together with the other two supervisors, but he didn't expect that the supervisors who went to block the way wouldn't stop Yunshu, so he could only go by himself.
However, by the time he arrived in front of Yunshu, she had already successfully caught the ball that Qu Chu passed to her.
"This king won't be lenient."
Yunshu smiled indifferently. "Of course, so I will also go all out." With that, she waved her staff and passed the ball to Li Jinru, who had already gotten rid of the enemy's entanglement tactic. In the last match, Li Jinru had been able to play the enemy with his little intelligence several times. Here! She had a very deep impression of him, so she only dared to pass the ball to him for the time being.
Seeing Li Jinru firmly catch the ball, Yun Zhu then looked at Xiao Heng. "Your Highness, do you think I will force my way in?"
"A soldier, a crafty one." Xiao Heng smiled and turned to look at Li Jinru.
Yun Zhu also looked over. She did not expect that Li Jinru would also fall into a similar crisis as Qu Chu. She could not help but be stunned. "Your Highness had thought of this long ago."
However, Xiao Heng only shook his head with a calm expression. "This is not what This King thought of. It is the result of the discussion between the various supervisors regarding the last match."
Yun Zhu couldn't help but be stunned when she saw that he didn't take credit for it. However, the ever-changing scene made her unable to think too much.
Not long after, the right to strike the stone landed in Yun Zhu's hands again. She turned her head to look at one of the scholars who had the time to receive her ball.
Xiao Heng: "What is it? Miss Yun still plans on passing it on to someone else?" Just as he finished speaking, Yun Zhu lightly waved the ball staff in her hand. The goliath ball passed through the lower part of the horse's belly and went to the other side. Soon after, she lifted her leg and swiftly spun half a circle on the horse's back. She turned around and raised her right hand to hit the ball towards the dragon gate.
Xiao Heng never thought that she would be so skillful in such a short period of time. In the blink of an eye, she changed her posture to facing the back of the horse and struck the ball backhanded. This way, she completely avoided his interception.
When the ball rushed into the Dragon Gate, the second match ended with the scorer side winning one point.
Yun Zhu dismounted in a posture facing back and smiled at Xiao Heng before pulling the reins and following everyone to the rest area. She finally had time to talk to Qu Chu.
However, when she approached, the people beside Qu Chu did not have any intention of leaving. She could only greet them individually and regretfully planned to leave first and look for Qu Chu again next time. However, just as she turned around, she heard Qu Chu's voice, "Miss Yun."
Yun Zhu turned her head and looked at the person who called out to her in puzzlement.
Qu Chu immediately said, "Just now, we were still saying that if Miss Yun did not turn the tides in the end, we might not be able to win this round. Although Miss Yun was a girl, her arm strength, accuracy, and the technique to hit the ball were not inferior to most men. I am very impressed."
Hearing him say this, Yun Zhu smiled. "Young Master Qu, you flatter me." After being modest, she left. Since Qu Chu had already noticed her because of that one ball earlier, it would be much easier to talk to her later. She had already achieved half of her goal, so there was no need to rush.
However, what she did not know was that Xiao Heng, who was not far away, saw her smile in his eyes. In his heart, he was very mindful that the person who made Yun Zhu smile was the top scorer of the new subject, and the teacup in his hand was almost crushed by him.
Qin Zhou, who had long understood his Royal Highness's temperament, immediately stepped forward and said, "Why don't this subordinate invite Miss Yun over?"
"There's no need." Xiao Heng retracted his gaze and lowered his eyes to take a sip of tea. He felt that if Qin Zhou were to do this, he would appear to be very petty - even though he knew that he was not a magnanimous person to begin with. The things he had done previously were already terrible enough.
When Qin Zhou heard Xiao Heng say this, he was instantly a little stunned. His Highness, Prince Heng, had always been able to do as he pleased in terms of feelings. In the past, whenever he liked a girl, he would directly bring her back to the residence. If he wanted someone to serve him, he would directly ask someone to arrange it for him. However, all of this was not applicable to Yunshu. It seemed that one thing was inferior to the other. This was the first time his Royal Highness was so careful with a girl.
Qin Zhou felt that if nothing unexpected happened, there would really be an additional female master in King Heng's Estate in the near future.
Yun Zhu did not know what had happened over there and only poured herself a cup of tea. After listening to their explanation of the following tactics, these people were originally worried that Yun Zhu, as a woman, would drag the team down. But they didn't expect that in the end, she would enter the first round and let them take the lead. Thus, the various generals looked at Yunshu with curiosity and admiration. After understanding the tactics, several people came over to chat with her and asked if she had any other methods to avoid being intercepted by the other party in an emergency like before.
These scholars only knew that Yunshu had previously been sitting by King Heng's side outside the arena, so they did not spare any effort to discover that King Heng treated her exceptionally well. So naturally, they did not think that she might be Xiao Heng's concubine or something like that. This made the scholars on the same team break out in cold sweat for them, but it was not good to rashly step forward and pull her away. Offending the Smiley Face Tiger King or offending his new pet was not a wise choice.
Who knew what the smiling tiger king meant now. He watched as his new pet chatted and laughed with other men. He was still holding back, or rather, he did not mind his new pet talking and laughing with other men. If they went forward to let the men leave, they would probably offend Miss Yun. At that time, if the wind blew by their pillow, wouldn't they be faced with the dilemma of "returning to their hometown after being turned in?"
Their many years of official career had already taught them how to protect themselves. Thus, in the end, they could only give meaningful looks to the scholars who wanted to get close to Yunshu. Unfortunately, not all the scholars could understand. For example, the groom thought that they had a stroke in their eyes. He almost immediately found a doctor for them.
The scholars blushed with shame. It was clearly a new subject, but why was he so stupid in the ways of the world? Therefore, the academician started to think, should he open Human Theory of the World aside from the existing courses?
Fortunately, when Li Jinru walked over, the referee announced that it was time to enter the arena and begin the third match.
This time, Yunshu was replaced, but Xiao Heng was still on the arena. Qu Chu, who was on the roll, naturally agreed with King Heng's intentions and was not replaced. The match had just begun, and Xiao Heng had already snatched the ball. The soldiers wanted to snatch it from him. However, the people who had stepped forward had all lost their hands. Qu Chu and Li Jinru looked at each other and controlled their horses to charge from his right side. When they were about to crash into him, they hurriedly pulled the reins and made a turn. After the frightened horse stabilized, the ball was also shifted to the bottom of Qu Chu's staff.
"It's not a wise move to take a risk in the army." Xiao Heng still had a calm smile on his face after the ball was taken away.
Qu Chu frowned slightly, but Li Jinru smiled frankly and said, "Competing with His Highness is just an insurance move. How can it be enough?"
The smile on Xiao Heng's lips deepened a little. "Since that's the case, this king will wait and see."
