Chapter 446: An Yi, come on! Fight for this princess!
At this moment, Tianyi and Anyi were fighting fiercely in the field, concentrating their attention, not knowing that they had become "chess pieces" in the gambling game between their two masters, and they didn't know that this bet was about the prince's "shelter" tonight and the princess's "boudoir date".
Lan Xiyue looked at the stalemate between the two, her eyes rolled, and a plan came to her mind.
She suddenly raised her voice and shouted at the two fighting men, "An Yi! Cheer up for me! If you win..." She paused deliberately, and indeed, seeing An Yi's attack stagnate slightly, she listened attentively, "From now on, I will provide you with enough spiritual spring water! You will be satisfied! As much as you want!"
Upon hearing this, An Yi's eyes flashed with brilliance, as if he had received a tenfold boost! His offensive instantly became even more violent and swift, each move fierce and powerful, actually putting Tian Yi at a disadvantage!
"Hahaha!" Lan Xiyue laughed triumphantly upon seeing this, as if victory was already within reach. "See? An Yi is definitely going to win!"
Mo Liyuan's face instantly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot, and a chill permeated his entire body. His icy gaze shot down at the slightly embarrassed Tianyi in the middle of the field like a concrete cone of ice. His voice was not loud, but it carried unquestionable majesty and a biting chill, and it reached Tianyi's ears clearly: "Tianyi, if you dare to lose to An Yi... Tomorrow, you will be sent back to the lowest level of the Dark Guard Camp and 'forged' March all over again!"
Tianyi's body trembled violently, and he was almost slapped by Anyi! He wailed in his heart: "Master! Can you be so cruel?!" The "forging" at the bottom of the Dark Guard Battalion is a grinding experience worse than death! He dared not slack off any longer. He gritted his teeth and put all his life's knowledge into practice, barely holding his ground.
Even the secret guards hiding in the dark were so excited that their blood boiled and their breathing quickened.
The peak showdown between the two leaders of the Tian and An groups has not been seen for a long time!
Lan Xiyue was keenly aware of the suppressed excitement around her. She waved her hand and announced with great authority, "Hey! All those hiding in the shadows, get out of your hiding! There's a gambling game going on in the palace tonight! I'm the banker! Come out and place your bets! Make your bets and leave!"
As soon as these words were spoken, it was like sparks splashing into a frying pan! Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—several dark shadows flashed from between the pillars, eaves, and tree shadows. They all knelt on one knee and shouted loudly, "Greetings, Master! Greetings, Princess!"
Lan Xiyue smiled and waved her hand, "No need to be polite! Life is boring, so it's a good time to watch a show! Come on, come on, let's make a bet and see who is more powerful, your Tianzi commander or the Anzi commander under my princess? One to one odds, no cheating! Come on, place your bets."
The secret guards looked at each other, excited but a little hesitant, and their eyes all turned to Mo Liyuan.
However, their usually cold and majestic master, instead of scolding her, looked at the excited princess with an indulgent and doting look, as if everything she did was right.
After getting the tacit consent, some clever guards immediately ran to bring tables and chairs, and someone else quickly brought pens, ink, paper and inkstone.
Soon, a square table was set up under the corridor. Lan Xiyue sat down in a chair with great confidence, picked up a brush, dipped it in ink, and acted like a professional banker: "Come on! On the left, bet on An Yi to win! On the right, bet on Tian Yi to win! Place your bets! All money and valuables are accepted! Once you place your bets, leave them alone. No more waiting!"
The palace seemed to be on fire instantly! Not only the secret guards, but also the guards who rushed over after hearing the news and the servants who were looking around, all took out their own money and gathered around. Some bet on Tianyi, some on Anyi. The scene was extremely lively, and shouts of cheers rose one after another:
"Commander Tianyi! Come on!"
"Boss An Yi! Don't lose! I staked half a month's salary on you!"
"I'm optimistic about Tianyi!"
"An Yi will win!"
While Lan Xiyue was busy recording, she also called out to the old butler standing by to watch the fun: "Butler! Don't just stand there and watch! Place a bet too! Who do you want to bet on to win?"
The butler stroked his beard with a smile, fished out ten taels of silver from his pocket, and looked at the two people who were still inseparable in the arena. He said with embarrassment: "Princess, this... Commander Tianyi and Commander Anyi are both top masters, almost equal in strength. I am really short-sighted and can't tell the difference..."
Lan Xiyue blinked and urged, "What's so difficult about this? Listen to me, the princess, and bet on the hidden number! You can't go wrong! Trust me, and you'll win!"
When the butler heard that the princess had promised, he immediately smiled and said, "Okay! Okay! I will listen to you, princess!" After saying that, he put the ten taels of silver to "An Yi" without hesitation.
He looked around at the bustling and bustling scene in the palace, and felt a thousand emotions in his heart: This palace really needs a female host! Ever since the princess came in, this lifeless place has come alive. Such a lively scene was something he had never dared to imagine before!
Tianyi and Anyi in the field listened to the sounds of betting and cheers coming from all directions, and looked at the gambling money piled up on the table. They were so amused that they wanted to laugh but couldn't cry!
Who wins and who loses not only affects their own "future" (Spiritual Spring Water vs. the hell of the Dark Guard Camp), but also the "purses" and faces of countless people in the palace!
This pressure… was unprecedented! The two exchanged glances, each seeing in the other's eyes the determination to go all out. Without holding back, they unleashed every last ounce of their might, each move fierce and swift, sending a whistling gust of wind soaring!
However, as time went on, the subtle differences began to emerge.
An Yi's attacks became more fierce and tricky, and his steps became faster and more agile. Invisibly, he forced Tian Yi to retreat step by step, defending more and attacking less!
Lan Xiyue saw this and was delighted, with the corners of her mouth rising uncontrollably: It seems that the spiritual spring water I fed you during this period was not in vain, the effect is remarkable!
On the other hand, Mo Liyuan's face became more and more ugly, as if covered with a layer of frost.
If Tianyi loses, he'll have to spend the night alone in his empty room, with a cold desk as his companion! Thinking of this, he stared at the two figures fighting in the arena, his eyes so cold they seemed to solidify into icy blades.
Lan Xiyue caught sight of his gloomy expression and felt extremely proud. She couldn't help but clap her hands and laugh: "Hahaha! Mo Liyuan! Did you see that? An Yi is sure to win! If they keep fighting, Tian Yi will be defeated in less than half an incense stick! You'd better get ready to go to the study!" The crisp laughter echoed in the bustling night sky of the palace, full of the joy of victory in sight.
Mo Liyuan lowered his head and looked at the smug and confident little woman in his arms. A barely perceptible glint flashed across the depths of his deep eyes. Normally, he would just let her win, but with the stakes on, he would not let Tianyi lose.
Mo Liyuan's face remained expressionless, but his fingers quietly came together, and a strand of pure and condensed internal energy silently gathered between his fingers, ready to be released.
He parted his thin lips slightly, and his low voice, with a hint of teasing, gently brushed Lan Xiyue's ear: "Really? Yue'er, things are unpredictable, don't be too happy too soon."
Lan Xiyue snorted in dissatisfaction, raised her chin even higher, and shouted crisply at the audience, "Hmph! If I say An Yi will win, then An Yi will definitely win! An Yi, come on! Fight for this princess!"
