Chapter 296: Fighting for the Chicken
That's it.
Ye Tianque carefully took Qing Qianxue's pulse for almost the entire night.
When the first ray of sunlight appeared in the early morning, Qing Qianxue opened her eyes and her brows relaxed a little.
Ye Tianque looked at him and immediately continued to take his pulse.
When his fingers touched Qing Qianxue's arm, his eyes widened and began to show excitement.
"How is that possible!"
"Your body temperature has been freezing for years, but it seems to have recovered a little today?"
"And your pulse has become much more stable. It is the most stable it has been since I met you!"
"This... this medicine really works!!!"
Looking at the box beside the bed again, Ye Tianque's eyes shone with a fiery light and he began to mutter madly.
"Um."
Qing Qianxue nodded.
After Qian Miao brought in the food, he ate some, then ate a chocolate ball that Chu Youning had given him, and then fell asleep.
~~~
Chu Youning tossed and turned all night long, yawning. When the sky got bright, he couldn't fall asleep. With dark circles under his eyes, he went to the kitchen to get some food, and then began to wander around the palace aimlessly.
Finally, she began to wander the streets like a ghost.
Not long after, a group of teenagers playing chicken in an open space attracted her attention.
Because... among them were two beautiful sisters whom she was very familiar with.
"You two boys, you usually stay in bed and never want to go to school, but today is your day off and you're out playing dressed up as men so early. You're amazing!"
After rolling his eyes a few times, Chu Youning decided to teach these teenagers a lesson.
With a voice-changing pill and a human-skin mask, she walked over with a landscape fan in her hand.
"Hey, it's early in the morning, how do we place bets?"
"This girl wants to play too? There are two roosters. The black one is called the God of War and the yellow one is called the General. You can place your bet on whichever you like."
Someone opened his mouth to explain to Chu Youning.
Chu Youning nodded.
Without saying anything, Tongzi spoke considerately: [Host, choose that general.]
"OK."
Chu Youning nodded.
He took off the purse at his waist and took out three gold ingots from it.
"Thirty taels of gold, defeat that general and win!"
"Girl...you, are you sure you don't want to think about it? The general is now at a disadvantage. Although the odds are high, if you do this, you may lose all the thirty taels of gold."
Someone kindly reminded me.
Many people on the side that suppressed the God of War had wild eyes and spoke out to stop him: "Buy it and leave it. You've already suppressed this girl, there's no reason to regret it."
"That's right. If everyone turns against us, this game will no longer work."
Miss Jiang Heng, who had bet all her fortune on the God of War, also agreed.
At the same time, Little Monkey King, who had sneaked out of the palace by sneaking into a water bucket with only a few golden beads on his body, also nodded in agreement.
Seeing the looks of Jiang Heng and Little Wukong, Chu Youning couldn't help but laugh.
"No need, I will suppress the general."
Not long after.
The general was cornered by the God of War, but the God of War held his head high and sang all the way.
However, at a certain moment, when the general seemed to be lying there dying and the God of War was preparing for a final fight, the general suddenly pecked at the eyes of the God of War, and then stabbed the God of War with a hammer.
After half an incense stick.
The field was quiet.
Chu Youning couldn't help but put his hand to his mouth, his eyes full of surprise.
"Oh, I think I won? The odds of betting on the general are 10 to 1, so it seems that all the money you bet on will go to me and the lucky few who bet on the general, right?
Thank you so much, you are such nice people."
On the field, several of the people who had suppressed the God of War looked pale.
The few people whose swords went astray and suppressed the general a little bit became extremely excited in an instant.
Several boys and girls were not convinced. The older boy in the lead looked at Chu Youning and spoke again: "Does this girl dare to compete with us again?"
"How do you want to bet?"
Chu Youning spoke calmly.
As the eldest princess, enjoying honor and dignity, she should also contribute to Dayu, right?
Just when she was bored, she could teach these budding students of Yu Kingdom how to behave themselves.
“This time, we blindly selected a fighting chicken, placed our bets, and then released them to fight.
You use the proceeds from this game, plus your thirty taels of gold to bet with us, and I will bet on this fine mutton-fat jade pendant! This is a gift, if you win, you will win big!"
The young man pulled out a jade pendant from his waist.
"This young master is amazing. He actually dares to gamble with the gift from the Heaven. I accept this bet!!!"
Chu Youning laughed even more happily.
The young man dared to gamble with the gift from the gods. It was obvious that he lacked the punishment from society.
"But... what's the point of playing with just this little bit? I'll add another thousand taels of gold as a bet. The bet is the land deeds worth a thousand gold in my hand. If you dare to beat me, take out all your assets. Do you dare?"
When Chu Youning said this, his eyes were full of arrogance and defiance.
How could fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys and girls resist the excitement? The people around them looked at each other. Some of them who were short of money chose to withdraw without hesitation, while the other dozen brave ones did not hesitate to take out the things they had that could be mortgaged.
Another person who caught Chu Youning's attention was a girl who looked arrogant.
The girl took out a pen and wrote an IOU: "I am the eldest daughter of the Liang'an Marquis's Mansion. I am trying to compete with you for a popular rouge shop on East Street! If I lose, you can come with me to the mansion to get the deed."
This girl has a good plan.
Having defeated so many of them, it was impossible for Chu Youning to take the land deed away.
But if they lost, would she dare to go to her house with an IOU?
With this person as pressure, a few more youngsters joined in immediately, and the smile on Chu Youning's face became wider and wider.
