Chapter 305 Let’s Make a Bet
"As for those who rush to claim lowliness, ah, that is none of their business!"
As the second prince spoke, he stared at Zhao Liya with malice. He now hated the Zhao family very much.
Zhou Hansheng said coldly, "Second Prince, do you really think so? Good, good, you are worthy of being the Second Prince. I will remember these words. The Second Prince is worthy of being a descendant of the royal family!"
Zhao Liya suddenly covered her face with her hands and burst into tears, sobbing and complaining aggrievedly: "The Second Prince is humiliating me like this, it's too much of a bully."
The Second Prince, the Third Young Master Yan and the others looked at each other in dismay, all with embarrassed faces: Who would have thought that they would make someone cry? For them, this was indeed a very disgraceful and unworthy act that was beyond their status and should be considered a contemptible thing.
The second prince was filled with frustration. He stared at Zhao Liya with anger in his heart but had no way to vent it.
Zhou Hansheng knew at a glance that his fiancée was pretending, and he felt a little amused and helpless, but he still felt very distressed when he heard her sobbing and crying, looking so wronged and sad.
He quickly went over to comfort her.
Zhao Liya complained: "They are too bullying! My Lord, let's go and not stay with them!"
"Okay, let's go!"
Zhou Hansheng glanced coldly at Third Master Yan, thinking to himself that this matter wasn't over yet! He would have to discuss this matter further once he got out.
Zhao Liya thought the same as he did.
There's nothing to argue about right now, so why waste your breath?
Unexpectedly, when they wanted to leave, someone wouldn't let them.
The Second Prince had come for them in the first place, so how could he let them go so easily? Instead of feeling relieved, he felt even angrier. If he didn't let out this anger, he would die of frustration!
When had he ever suffered such humiliation?
"Stop!" The Second Prince looked at Zhou Hansheng and said sarcastically, "I heard that Crown Prince Zhou has been practicing martial arts in Shu since he was young. I believe he is quite skilled. How about a duel today?"
The Second Prince's words perked up his followers. Firstly, it could quickly put aside the previous embarrassment, and secondly, if they won, they could also give the Crown Prince's faction a severe blow. Of course, they felt they were sure to win, so they all joined in the fun.
"Right, right, just hunting is too boring, why don't we have a competition?"
"Prince Zhou is so heroic and his martial arts skills are evident. Would he not dare?"
"Haha, if you don't even dare to do this, then you are too cowardly!"
Zhao Liya's sarcasm was full-throated. "You guys are truly amazing! You brought no fewer than two or three hundred guards and followers with you, yet you still want to challenge us. You are truly heroes and true gentlemen! My Lord, they're bullying us, what else can we do but admit defeat? I think we should just admit defeat! Not only that, but once we leave the hunting grounds, I'll tell you all about your achievements! What is skill? This is what skill is!"
Zhou Hansheng laughed heartily. "Okay, I'll do as you say! I think they're all very capable too!"
The Second Prince was filled with resentment and frustration, and was only thinking about causing trouble for Zhao Liya and Zhou Hansheng, and didn't pay attention to anything else at all.
As for the question of how many guards and followers will be surrounding him, is that something someone like him needs to consider?
After being mocked by Zhao Liya, he realized that the number of his guards and entourage was several times less than that of Zhou Hansheng and his men.
The Second Prince simply disdained to bully others because he simply didn't have the opportunity. This wasn't a lie—everyone who saw him was respectful and obedient, doing everything to satisfy him. Why would he need to bully others? He simply didn't have the opportunity!
Being mocked by Zhao Liya, he immediately lost his composure. "Don't talk nonsense! Bullying others with your power? I don't even bother! Did I say I would take all these people away?"
He turned around and shouted, "Leave behind as many people as Crown Prince Zhou, and the rest, retreat."
"Second Prince, this—"
“Back off!”
"yes"
The commander and deputy commander exchanged glances, each smiling bitterly inwardly. But what could they do? His Highness had always been this way, and wouldn't listen to their advice. If they said anything more, they'd be in trouble.
At this time, Mr. Yan San said: "We are not included!"
Zhou Hansheng glanced at him without saying a word.
Of course not. What good could these seven or eight of them do? Even if they knew a few tricks, they would only be for show, and they might even need guards to look after them.
Soon, the selected guards followed the Second Prince and his entourage, while the others retreated. The Second Prince sneered, his expression arrogant, "You have nothing to say, right? If I win, your engagement will be cancelled. Do you dare to bet?"
Everyone was shocked and stunned
Zhao Liya, Zhou Hansheng and their group were also stunned.
"What did Your Highness say?" Zhou Hansheng looked at him strangely, wondering if he was crazy.
Betting on his engagement with Zhao Liya?
The Second Prince was used to doing whatever he wanted, so he didn't think about whether this kind of thing was reasonable or possible. He smiled coldly and said, "Didn't you hear what I said?"
Zhou Hansheng laughed out loud, "I'm sorry, Your Highness, I can't obey your order! My fiancée and I are in love, and an engagement is no joke. Your Highness, please be careful with your words!"
Don't go too far!
The second prince sneered in his heart, if you two were not so in tune with each other, I might not have said this.
"Why? Prince Zhou can't afford the gamble? Don't you dare? I just don't like your engagement. What do you think?"
The Second Prince was furious. Zhao Xiang had played him so cruelly, and he wanted Zhao Xiang and the Zhao family to lose face. What could be more ridiculous than calling off this marriage again? Nothing!
As for Zhao Xiang's claim that the engagement had never been cancelled, the Second Prince simply didn't believe it. He was being played for a fool! He had clearly inquired about it thoroughly and found out that the old lady of the Duke of Liguo's mansion had indeed sent the housekeeper to cancel the marriage. The Duke of Liguo was clearly lying along with Zhao Xiang.
Zhou Hansheng was also angry, "You——"
Zhao Liya suddenly interrupted, "I wonder what the Second Prince would be willing to lose if we win? Marriage is no joke. Since Your Highness wants to gamble, you can't be too stingy, right?"
The Second Prince sneered: "What do you want?"
Zhao Liya smiled and said, "I am just a humble woman. How dare I ask anything of Your Highness? It all depends on Your Highness's sincerity."
The Second Prince secretly hated Zhao Xiang, thinking to himself, "How could he believe Zhao Xiang so easily? If he had met Zhao Xiang before, he would never have believed her so easily!"
Look at his daughter, how hateful!
Lingnan, that place, must be spooky, right? After a walk there, Zhao Xiang seemed like a different person, and his daughter must have been a different person too.
I have to say, the truth about the Second Prince has been revealed.
