Chapter 506: Newbie's Luck

After the Eighth Prince showed off his skills, the people who came on stage later followed suit.

But whether it was the little ones or the other princes and princesses with cultivation, it was difficult to replicate the Eighth Prince's killing two birds with one stone.

Let alone the little ones.

But the princes and princesses of the seventh and eighth ranks couldn't do it either. Occasionally, someone imitated successfully, but they also knocked down a red and a black bamboo-shaped wooden pillar, but lost points.

To be like the Eighth Prince, to accurately cross the black bamboo-shaped wooden pillar, knock down two reds in succession, and get two points with one ball, it is obviously not an easy task even for a warrior.

The Fifth Prince sighed and walked off the stage, came to the Eighth Prince and asked:

"Old Eighth, how did you play that move?"

"Why can't I learn it?"

The Fifth Prince was more cautious. He first used the first four balls to get himself four points steadily, and tried the Eighth Prince's technique for the last ball.

Although he knocked down two bamboo shoot-shaped wooden pillars, unfortunately, one was black and the other was red, and he did not earn any points.

But four points were enough to make the fifth prince rank very high in points.

Of course, it was impossible to win the game, after all, the eighth prince scored an outrageous score of five goals and ten points.

Ten points is the full score for wooden shooting, and there is no way to score better than this.

So, no matter whether the final score is five points or four points, it is just a foil for the eighth prince.

"Since you are humbly asking for advice, I will give you some pointers."

The eighth prince immediately put on airs and acted like a master.

As soon as he said this, the imperial garden became much quieter, and everyone was obviously listening attentively, wanting to eavesdrop on the eighth prince's unique secrets.

As a result, the eighth prince waved to the people around him, and then they immediately gathered together.

The Eighth Prince muttered a few words inaudibly, then nodded, straightened up, and said:

"You will definitely be fine if you do as I say."

After hearing this, Princess Ankang immediately looked at the Eighth Prince with a strange expression.

"So that's how it is, is that the truth?"

"Alas, if I had known that you were so generous, I would have asked you before going on stage!"

The Fifth Prince looked regretful.

The Seventh Princess yawned out of boredom.

Princess Ankang and Princess Yuan'an looked at the brothers speechlessly.

Li Xuan silently buried his head in Princess Ankang's arms, struggling to hold back his laughter.

"Damn, they are indeed brothers."

Li Xuan couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Just now, the Eighth Prince didn't say anything at all, but just made a slight rustling sound with his mouth, pretending to be instructing others.

As a result, the Fifth Prince immediately understood and cooperated with the Eighth Prince to act out the play in a proper manner.

Princess Ankang and Princess Yuan'an were speechless about their childish behavior.

The Seventh Princess was sleepy and thought she didn't hear clearly.

But she didn't care about the competition anyway, she just came to join in the fun, get together with everyone and talk.

After the competition, she had to go back to catch up on some sleep.

The Seventh Princess observed a star she had never seen before last night, and she was excited to watch it all night, just like the three little ones.

The Seventh Princess remained excited until dawn, and only felt sleepy when she came to the Imperial Garden.

"Hey, Third and Fourth Princes, you are here."

The Eighth Prince turned around and found that the Third and Fourth Princes were not far behind them, and greeted them with a smile.

The Third Prince coughed and walked away silently, ignoring the Eighth Prince.

The fourth prince came over without blushing and asked curiously: "Seeing that you always get along so well, the fourth brother is very relieved, and came to see you specially."

"By the way, what did you say just now?"

When the fourth prince said this, Princess Ankang's arms began to make a sound, and everyone looked at them strangely.

Princess Ankang pinched Li Xuan's buttocks calmly, and then smiled and explained to everyone:

"My cat caught a cold last night and kept coughing."

Princess Ankang's words really scared the others.

"Is this the sound when a cat coughs?"

Everyone was puzzled, but they couldn't tell whether it was true or false, so they had to stop thinking about it.

Only the fourth prince thought more.

"How can this cat catch a cold with such strong legs?"

"Is it a defect of this rare and exotic animal?"

He didn't care whether what Princess Ankang said was true or not, and silently kept this in mind. He immediately felt that it was an extremely wise decision to come over.

"Knowing yourself and the enemy will ensure victory in all battles."

"It seems that I have to get along well with them in the future."

No matter whether we can get along well or not, at least we have to keep it to ourselves.

Only in this way can we have a chance to get some information.

Just like before, Princess Ankang's casual words gave the Fourth Prince some information.

But now he has more important information to get.

"What did you say just now?"

"You said it so happily, let Fourth Brother listen too."

The Fourth Prince smiled kindly, as if he had a good relationship with his brothers and sisters in front of him.

"Oh, it's nothing, I was just..."

The Eighth Prince was about to say something triumphantly, but was stopped by the Fifth Prince on the side.

"It's nothing, just chatting."

"Don't worry about it, don't worry about it."

The Fifth Prince waved his hands repeatedly and winked at the Eighth Prince several times.

The fourth prince immediately looked grim and asked, "Why? Do you think of my fourth brother as an outsider?"

"This..."

The fifth prince and the eighth prince were both embarrassed.

"After all, it's about the competition. We are competing with each other. It's hard to say, it's hard to say." The fifth prince immediately put on an appearance of wanting a fair competition.

"Hey, Fifth Brother, you are wrong." The Fourth Prince smiled kindly again and began to persuade: "Eighth Brother has scored a perfect score. Who can beat him? Since the outcome is set, what are you afraid of?"

"No, no, I was not thoughtful just now. I taught my apprentice and starved my master to death. If someone scores the same perfect score as me, it will be bad!"

The Eighth Prince realized it later and was afraid for a while. He shook his head repeatedly:

"No, no, I'd better not say it."

Seeing that the Eighth Prince didn't seem to want to say it, the Fourth Prince was a little anxious, but he didn't show it on his face. He still patiently persuaded:

"Oh, it's okay."

"At most, we'll be tied for first place. It's happened before."

"Eighth Brother, have you forgotten?"

"We took a bath together before."

Reminded by the Fourth Prince, the Eighth Prince seemed to remember this matter.

As a result, Princess Ankang also got excited.

"My dear brother, you are so confused!"

"How can you teach others so easily the secret book you have studied for many years?"

"Even in such an important competition?"

"The brother-sister relationship between us is not something that others can compare with."

Princess Ankang was rarely so excited. Seeing her reaction, the fourth prince was more concerned about the unique secret book of the eighth prince.

"What Ankang said makes sense."

"Eighth brother, just follow me."

After the fourth prince said this, he pulled the eighth prince aside.

Princess Ankang and others immediately looked like they were going to stop them, but the eighth prince waved his hand and said indifferently:

"Don't worry, I'll see what he wants to say."

After that, the two of them found a corner and started to whisper.

Princess Ankang and others were so angry that they jumped up and down.

After a while, the two people in the corner happily separated. They were so close that they almost called each other brothers and swore brotherhood on the spot.

Of course, they were originally brothers, so they could save this step.

When the Eighth Prince came back, he grinned and secretly showed everyone two large gold ingots.

Everyone laughed, not expecting that the shrewd Fourth Prince could be fooled like this.

"No, the Fourth Prince is always cautious, so he wouldn't be so easy to be fooled, right?" Princess Yuan An immediately said puzzled.

"Isn't this gold fake?" The Fifth Prince was also a little unconvinced.

"I just bit it, it's real!"

The Eighth Prince excitedly showed everyone the tooth marks he had just left on the gold ingot.

"It feels like the Fourth Prince is much more impatient today than usual." Princess Ankang looked at the direction where the Fourth Prince left and commented.

Although the Fourth Prince's expression and movements were the same as before, Princess Ankang still keenly noticed the difference in his emotions.

"I heard that the monthly expenses of Qingshu Palace were not small in the past. I'm afraid that the reduction of monthly allowances this time will have the greatest impact on them."

"The fourth prince helps Concubine Zhang to handle many things in Qingshu Palace. I'm afraid he also wants to find an opportunity to fill this hole as soon as possible."

The eighth prince weighed the gold ingot in his hand and explained to everyone.

"You kid, you were waiting to catch the fourth prince from the beginning?" The fifth prince laughed and scolded.

Just now, he was still calling him brother and younger brother, but now he has become the fourth and the eighth prince again.

"No way!" The eighth prince denied it, but then smiled cunningly and added: "Whoever you catch is the one."

The game continued, and in the end, there were even fewer people who could score five points.

Everyone was stimulated by the eighth prince to take a different approach and learn from him to kill two birds with one stone, but they didn't have his skills, so more and more people scored negative points and zero points.

The difficulty of the eighth prince's skills lies in his precise control and feel, which requires a lot of practice to form muscle memory.

Even if others can imitate this technique, it is difficult to maintain stability and get a perfect score of 10.

But failing to get a perfect score means that they are doomed to miss the chance to win the game, which leads to more and more players who play badly later.

As long as the first ball does not successfully get two points, they will just start throwing randomly, and the progress of the game is greatly accelerated.

Soon, it was the eldest prince's turn to play, and his order was just before Princess Ankang.

When the fourth prince came to talk to them before, only the eldest prince among the three siblings had not finished the game.

The fourth prince spent money to buy the unique secret book from the eighth prince, and it was obvious who he was for.

Seeing the eldest prince on the court, Princess Yuan An immediately asked curiously:

"Old Eight, did you teach the real thing just now?"

"Of course, you are not unaware of the fourth prince's brain, and you can't fool him with fake things. If he finds out, he will come to block my door?"

The eldest prince and his three siblings have always been united. When the time comes, three against one, the eighth prince will definitely be beaten up again.

He had been beaten for no reason before, so he naturally didn't want to suffer this loss again.

"It's just that, although the real thing is real, it's not that real."

The Eighth Prince told the Fourth Prince the skills, and there was no adulteration, but what he said was very limited.

The Eighth Prince only told how to do it, but did not mention any technical details that needed to be paid attention to.

Just like when shooting a basketball, some seemingly unrelated body joint strength and hand details can greatly increase the accuracy and stability of the shot.

Those who are not skilled in these technical details will not realize their importance.

Naturally, the eighth prince was not kind enough to tell the fourth prince these details.

But when the eldest prince took action for the first time, the originally proud eighth prince was stunned.

"Bang, bang."

After two muffled sounds in succession, the two red bamboo shoot-shaped wooden pillars on the stage fell down.

The eldest prince successfully replicated the technique of killing two birds with one stone, scoring two points with one goal in the opening game.

Princess Ankang looked at the eighth prince silently.

"Are you blind?"

The eighth prince suddenly began to feel uneasy, feeling that the two ingots of gold in his hands no longer tasted good.

If he really shot himself in the foot today, it would be a lot of fun.

He was confidently explaining his plan to everyone just now, but suddenly he had a premonition that he was about to become a clown.

Princess Ankang and others were just watching the show anyway, but they began to look forward to that scene.

"Oh, the boss is so pitiful. It's actually good to let him win once or twice."

The fifth prince suddenly felt pity for the eldest prince.

But the look on his face that was waiting for a joke gave him away.

The eighth prince immediately glared at each other, but immediately turned his head to look at the stage, fearing that the eldest prince would be fooled a few more times.

"Bang, bang."

"Bang, bang."

"Bang, bang."

"ah--"

The eighth prince held a gold ingot in his big hand, hugged his head hard, and let out a painful roar, attracting the attention of everyone in the audience.

The eldest prince actually scored eight yuan in a row, scoring eight points with four goals, exactly the same as the eighth prince before.

The most irritating thing is that only the eighth prince in the audience could see that the eldest prince's moves were all made by luck. There was no skill at all, but with inexplicable luck, the wooden ball knocked down the red bamboo shoots in a daze. shaped wooden pillar.

How could this not make the Eighth Prince furious?

Seeing the Eighth Prince's reaction, Princess Ankang and others beside him laughed heartlessly.

After the Eighth Prince scored full marks, they all thought they had no hope of winning, but they didn't expect that the Eighth Prince would thoughtfully give them such fun.

The fourth prince just sneered when he saw the eighth prince's virtue.

He knew that the Eighth Prince must have reservations, but as long as it was useful technology, he didn't mind spending money to buy it.

It's just that the fourth prince didn't expect that the eldest prince would be so successful today.

"God bless, don't let us lose on this last goal."

Even the fourth prince, who had never been very superstitious, couldn't help but pray silently.

The person under the greatest pressure on the court was the eldest prince himself.

He held the wooden ball tightly, and he couldn't help but hold his breath for this last chance to throw.

The four balls just now allowed him to slowly get a feel for it.

The eldest prince cleared his mind of distracting thoughts, aimed at the target, and let his body be controlled by the mysterious feeling.

"Bang, bang."

There were two more muffled sounds, and the penultimate red bamboo shoot-shaped wooden pillar fell to the ground. The wooden ball accurately bounced and landed on the last red bamboo shoot-shaped wooden pillar.

The last red bamboo-shaped wooden pillar began to shake violently. After struggling for a few times, it fell to the ground.

Also falling to the ground was the Eighth Prince's weak knees.

"No!!!"

The Eighth Prince looked up to the sky and roared, his unwillingness echoing in the imperial garden.

Princess Ankang and others pointed at the Eighth Prince who had an exaggerated reaction, and everyone bent over with laughter.

"Hahahahahaha..."
