Chapter 30: The Confident Little Lady
"Husband, don't worry. My research on the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams has reached the peak. There will be no mistakes. I must compete with the county master." Chang Yiyi comforted Wan Xiutian confidently. She knew that Wan Xiutian was for her own good, but she could not tell her true identity.
"The little lady has a personality and a temper, I like it."
"Captain Wan, please step back and don't disturb my master's atmosphere. Today I have to compete with my wife."
The county master was more interested in Chang Yiyi, excited and ready to challenge at any time.
"Sir, wait!" Chang Yiyi saw that the county magistrate was in a hurry to go to the gambling house to challenge, so she stopped temporarily.
"Why? My wife dare not. I have agreed to the challenge. If you withdraw, it is equivalent to admitting defeat and willing to accept the loss. You are undoubtedly my concubine." The county master asked happily.
"No, adults should wear more clothes. If you fall to the ground, it won't hurt very much, and you won't be easily injured." Chang Yiyi smiled.
"Just just teasing me for you like this, I must let you see my majesty immediately. I want to see whose threshold dares to make me fall." The county magistrate seemed to be angry and walked quickly towards the gambling house.
The bet between Chang Yiyi and the county magistrate, everyone onlookers could hear clearly. Everyone was very interested and wanted to know what the result was. The crowd that was already noisy suddenly became quiet. Everyone could clearly hear the breathing of the people around them. In order to see this special bet, the onlookers did not even dare to breathe heavily, for fear of missing the wonderful moment.
Wan Xiucai, who had been hiding in the gambling house and violently resisting demolition, also devoted his main energy to the bets between Chang Yiyi and the county master. Seeing the county master walking towards the gambling house, Wan Xiucai did not make any stopping actions.
Wan Xiutian did not really see Chang Yiyi's ability, so he was very nervous, but Wan Xiucai and other people in Wanfu had seen Chang Yiyi's ability. Since she could easily take away people's souls, it would be easy for her to deal with the county magistrate. Wan Xiucai was full of hope and confidence in Chang Yiyi.
"You all have you seen it for me, I'm going to take a step, little lady, remember for me, if I take this step, you will be my master's person in the future." The county master raised one foot and hung it in the air, then turned his head to warn Chang Yiyi at the last warning.
"Sir, come back soon. Don't take it seriously if you are a slut, the younger one will apologize to you." Wan Xiutian was so nervous that he couldn't let his wife give her away for nothing, wouldn't that be a big joke?
Chang Yiyi was full of confidence in betting because she had already pulled out a piece of hair. Not to mention the county magistrate, even if all the officials of the Great Sui Dynasty came, they would not be able to walk normally in the gambling house.
"Sir, please give me a gift, but the little woman reminds you again, be careful. If you fall, it will be considered an industrial injury. Our Wanfu is not responsible for your medical expenses!" Chang Yiyi also said first.
"Miss is so cute!" The county master didn't take Chang Yiyi's warning seriously. As he said that, he stepped on it.
"A thud!" Before the county master and the onlookers present could see what was going on, the county master was lying on the ground in a frog posture.
The whole audience was silent for a moment, and then a burst of laughter came.
Although the county magistrate felt very embarrassed, he had to help himself. With so many subordinates and the people, where would he be majestic in the future?
Resisting the severe pain in his body, the county magistrate got up from the ground, and didn't bother to pat the dust on his body. He turned around and smiled deliberately at everyone: "It didn't count just now, it didn't count. I was just talking to the little lady, but I was accidentally tripped and did it again."
This time, the county magistrate has learned a lesson and experience and is ready to take another second step.
He slowly raised one foot and then gently landed in front of him, making sure that there was nothing to hinder his movement. This time, he would definitely not trip over something again. The county magistrate confidently landed his raised foot on the ground.
But when the county magistrate unexpectedly, the foot that was stepping out suddenly had no sense of the moment it landed on the ground. However, the center of gravity of the whole body had shifted to the front foot. It was too late to retract it, and there was no support point because the foot in front could not be used force at all.
Fortunately, the county magistrate reacted quickly this time. When he was lying on the ground, his hands first hit the ground, and then his body fell freely. If this were placed in the 2nd century, it would be a difficult movement in push-ups.
The county magistrate's actions once again caused a burst of laughter from the audience. Even Wan Xiutian, who had been worried about Chang Yiyi just now, couldn't help laughing.
Although the county magistrate protected his face and was not choked into the dust, it was really painful to support his body with his limbs in an instant. Even a hero who had the ability to complete this difficult movement without any preparation will have some abrasions or sprains.
However, the county magistrate was not seriously injured. He tried his limbs one by one, first moving his left leg, and being able to move; then kicking his right leg, and being conscious; then shaking his left arm without dislocating, and finally trying his right arm, which was relatively flexible. In order to ensure that he is safe and sound, Niu Niu's neck and waist are still fine before getting up, and it feels OK.
Fortunately, no injuries.
I slowly got up from the ground, and I didn’t dare to take a step forward easily this time. I must act according to the opportunity and never make a fool of myself in front of the people one after another, otherwise I will really be shameless to see people in the future.
"Sir, stop challenging, you should go back quickly. I said that the gambling house is not suitable for high-ranking officials and nobles to enter. You should report to the court and choose another address to be the emperor's palace." Chang Yiyi smiled outside while persuading the county magistrate.
After all, the county magistrate is a parent, so how could he easily admit defeat in public in front of the people? However, it is an indisputable fact that he fell down in a confused manner.
Hearing Chang Yiyi's words, the county magistrate did not respond, but carefully retreated and kept leaving the gambling house.
"Sir, I'm scared!" Wan Xiutian quickly came forward and apologized while helping the county magistrate to slap the dust on his body, praying that the county magistrate would not blame his wife for making a fool of himself in public.
"I am not in good health today and I am weak all over. Alas, I am working day and night to prepare the palace for the emperor. It is so tiring and hard. How can you know that being a commoner? Being an official is also hard, especially for the grassroots officials like me. I fell down just now because of my health."
While promoting his achievements, the county master emphasized that the reason for falling was due to excessive physical discomfort.
Chang Yiyi smiled, but did not expose the county master's improper meaning.
