Chapter 127: Prince Jin invites Xia Wanwan to a banquet, poor guards
The system frowned and asked doubtfully, "I have already used this special reward on you. It is impossible that it cannot be calculated."
Xia Wanwan thought that she had just gained the power and was not very familiar with it yet, so she calculated it again.
"I'm sure I can't figure it out."
Afterwards, she still couldn't figure out the result and was very puzzled.
The system was also confused and said, "Host, please wait a moment. I will see if there are any rules for this ability."
Soon, she saw the result and said, "Master Host! Your ability to predict the future is fine, but the problem is the time limit. The limit is half a month. Once you exceed this time, you can't predict it. The future of King Jin is too far away, so you naturally can't predict it."
"That's it."
Xia Wanwan understood.
Since we can’t calculate the future, let’s calculate something else.
"Girl! Please start the bet between you and this king."
Seeing that she hadn't started yet, Prince Jin urged her on.
Xia Wanwan stretched out her fingers to count, and her eyes suddenly fell on a guard beside him. She curled her lips slightly and said with a smile, "I calculated that this young man will have a bloody disaster in half an hour."
Guard Zheng: "..."
You will suffer bloody disaster.
"Young lady, you're joking. Guard Zheng is one of the best martial artists. If you want to bring him to a bloody disaster, you must surpass him in skills. He is still in the Prince of Jin's mansion. Who dares to trespass here in broad daylight?"
King Jin laughed.
But I was guessing in my heart.
If what this girl said was true, then wasn't she indirectly reminding him of something?
Impossible. No one in Jin State can kill him.
Besides, which killer would come to kill people in broad daylight, especially from the Prince Jin's Mansion?
Xia Wanwan said with a smile: "Who said that his bloody disaster was caused by humans? Isn't it okay to be caused by natural damage?"
King Jin was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion, "You mean, natural disaster?"
"That's pretty much it."
Xia Wanwan nodded and continued, "Half an hour later, he will be at the gate of the palace, where he will be tripped by a large yellow dog that suddenly rushes out. His nose will hit the ground, and that's why he's bleeding."
"You are talking nonsense. How could I possibly trip over a dog and get a nosebleed?"
When Guard Zheng heard this, he felt insulted.
There are so many excuses to make, why do you have to say that he tripped over a dog?
If this word gets out, how can he have the face to stay by the prince's side in the future? It would be so embarrassing.
Guard Yang next to him added, "But Guard Zheng, I remember you were afraid of dogs. I guess what this girl said is true."
Guard Zheng: "..."
My good brother, is this how you expose others’ secrets?
Unexpectedly, the King of Jin then echoed, "Guard Zheng was bitten by a dog once when he was a child, so he is indeed afraid of dogs. The dogs in the palace are all kept in the backyard, and Guard Zheng never goes to the backyard where the dogs are tied."
Guard Zheng: “…?”
Good master, don't bring such a large amount of things, it will only expose your scars.
Xia Wanwan pursed her lips to hold back her smile, and because of her poor manners, she didn't laugh out loud.
“Puff~”
Xia Qingqing, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but burst out laughing.
When Guard Zheng heard her laughter, his cheeks suddenly flushed. He folded his arms and snorted unhappily, "Hmph, then I won't go to the palace gate and see how the dog trips me. I'll stand here and wait for half an hour before leaving. By then, you've lost the bet."
Xia Wanwan stretched out her fingers and divined again, "Okay, if you don't leave this hall, the tiles from the roof will fall and hit you on the head, and you'll be bleeding."
"you you you……"
Guard Zheng was very angry with her, but he was not good at talking and could not win an argument with such a smart woman.
"Hahahaha ~ Dad! I can't take it anymore, my stomach hurts. I'm laughing so hard that my stomach hurts."
Xia Qingqing couldn't hold it back this time and burst into laughter, covering her belly.
Even Guard Yang standing next to him and Prince Jin sitting on the chair couldn't help but curl up the corners of their lips.
"Shut up and stop laughing. Your sister is still making a bet. If you lose, I don't think you'll even cry."
Xia Zian was extremely anxious now. He really wanted to drag Xia Wanwan back to the modern era, fearing that his head would be chopped off in the next second.
After he said that, the smile on Xia Qingqing's face suddenly disappeared. She could no longer smile and her face turned bitter in an instant.
"If you don't believe me, just wait here. Half an hour won't be long anyway."
Xia Wanwan looked around and found that there was not even a chair, so she couldn't even sit down and drink a sip of water.
The King of Jin saw through her thoughts and ordered, "Come, give this girl a seat."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The maid at the door quickly brought two chairs for Xia Wanwan to sit on.
"Thank you, His Highness King Jin."
After Xia Wanwan sat down, King Jin ordered someone to make a cup of tea for each of them.
Just like that, I drank tea and waited for time to pass.
The people in the room were quite relaxed, drinking tea and stretching when they were bored.
Poor Guard Zheng, he couldn't stand, sit, walk or jump.
After standing for a long time, he would look up, fearing that a tile would suddenly fall from above and hurt him.
He couldn't even sit for a moment because the prince was here. He couldn't sit for too long, nor did he dare to sit for too long.
Walking back and forth, he felt like an ant on a hot pan, and seemed very worried and scared.
Jumping was even worse. It was not proper for him to jump around in front of the prince. Besides, he was not a monkey from the mountain. Why would he jump around for no reason?
In this way, time slowly passed in extreme agony.
Finally, at the last moment when the incense in the hall was extinguished, Guard Zheng saw that he was fine, and laughed out loud: "Half an hour has passed, I'm fine, you lose..."!
The last word "bar" has not been finished yet.
"Clang~"
A tile from the roof actually fell off and hit him on the head.
Guard Zheng's eyes turned red. He reached out to touch it and found that blood was flowing from his head to under his eyebrows.
He turned stiffly, looked at Prince Jin who had just swallowed his tea, and said bitterly, "Your Highness Prince Jin, she...what she said was actually true."
"Sister! This guard was hit on the head and is bleeding a lot. Will he be okay?"
Xia Qingqing saw that Guard Zheng was bleeding a lot, and immediately looked at Xia Wanwan and asked.
"Don't worry, I'm here. As long as he's still breathing, even the King of Hell himself can't take his soul away."
Xia Wanwan stood up and walked to Guard Zheng, took out a silver needle, and quickly helped him seal the acupuncture points.
She originally wanted to bandage his wound, but she couldn't take anything out of the space in front of so many people for no reason, so she said to him, "My dear brother, I have helped stop your bleeding. Now you can go find a doctor to bandage it. It's not a big deal, don't worry."
"Thank you young lady for helping to stop the bleeding."
Guard Zheng said thank you gratefully and immediately ran to find a doctor.
"This king loses."
After seeing Guard Zheng leave, the King of Jin looked at Guard Yang and said, "Go to the clan office and release the villagers of Heping Village. We need the official seal of the government to build a house on that piece of land. Go and help get it."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Guard Yang turned and left after receiving the order.
Xia Wanwan said gratefully, "Thank you, Your Highness Prince Jin."
Prince Jin stood up and walked over to her, asking softly, "May I ask your name, young lady? And to thank you for your kindness, I'd like to host a dinner for you and your family tonight. Is that all right?"
