Chapter 600 Gold Silk Soft Armor
From this angle, Jiang Youzhen's eyes are very graceful. Her pink eyelids make her look more charming, and her bright red lips make her look gorgeous.
A face like peach blossoms, eyes like autumn water, this should be it.
It just so happens that Jiang Youzhen usually looks very noble and upright. If he had a frivolous personality, he would definitely become a canary.
In fact, it's not that he hasn't seen those actors and actresses before. Some officials just have habits that are not presentable. He used to be very puzzled, but now he suddenly understands it.
The young girl was so handsome that even the Prince of Rong State and the others looked at her a few more times.
"Your Highness? Your Highness?" Jiang Youzhen became a little alert when he saw the Fourth Prince staring at him in a daze.
His Highness is a man who is good at calculating. Could he have discovered anything unusual?
She quietly looked down at her chest. No, it was well wrapped and looked flat.
"Ahem!" The Fourth Prince finally came back to his senses after Jiang Youzhen shouted at him.
"I'm sorry! I was just thinking about something and my mind got distracted."
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince of Rong and his men are already ready." Yuan Shang glanced at Jiang Youzhen with deep meaning in his eyes.
Fang Zhongyi had already chosen a longbow. Jiang Youzhen took a look at it and found that it looked plain in appearance, but the black bow body was glowing with a faint light, so it looked like it was not an ordinary item.
The group arrived at the parade ground again. At this time, the prince of Rongguo and his men could not wait any longer. As soon as they saw them coming, they began to take out their own prizes.
"I recently obtained an authentic work by the famous calligrapher and painter Guo Caihua. I will have someone deliver it to you later."
The first person to speak was Luo Jinqiu. He was not as good as these nobles. If he fell behind, he would not be able to show off his prize if it was not as good as theirs.
Li Dongsheng smiled, "Isn't that painting a treasure you recently acquired? Why are you willing to take it out today?"
"Don't make fun of me. I will definitely beat you today, and the victory will definitely be mine in the end." Luo Jinqiu still had some youthful spirit and said unconvincedly.
"You have no chance today. I have been practicing riding and archery for more than two months just to avenge my previous defeat. I have a rosewood figurine with the word 'great ambition' in it that you can use as a prize." Zhang Haolun said.
Then everyone said that their prizes were all valuable items. Even Li Dongsheng, who had been crying poor last time, had a set of white jade teacups.
Although everyone laughed at his gnashing of teeth, he still suffered a heavy loss this time.
The most expensive prize was of course the Fourth Prince, no one could steal his limelight. He actually offered a piece of soft gold armor, which was said to be invulnerable to swords and spears, and was a divine weapon for defense!
Jiang Youzhen was very curious about this so-called golden soft armor. Was it really invulnerable to swords and guns? Or was it just an exaggeration?
It’s a pity that the Fourth Prince did not have the gold-thread soft armor brought immediately, and Jiang Youzhen could only suppress his curiosity.
These lucrative prizes even made her a little tempted.
"Your Highness is really generous. That golden soft armor is a treasure from the previous dynasty. I didn't expect Your Highness would be willing to give it away."
Prince Rong was very surprised. Shouldn't such a treasure be kept? It could save lives at a critical moment.
The prince is especially vulnerable to assassination, so wearing the gold-thread soft armor can protect his life!
"Yes! I am attracted by such a good treasure. I will go all out later." Zhao Yin clenched his fist, his eyes flashing with a determined light.
"Since you are all so excited, I can't be stingy. Although this golden soft armor is rare, it has been slightly damaged after the war in the previous dynasty. I can't use it, so I might as well use it as a prize."
Everyone had different thoughts when they heard this, and they were all guessing what the Fourth Prince was thinking.
At this point, it was no longer a simple competition. The Fourth Prince was clearly serious, and they couldn't fool him. They had to show their true abilities later.
Everyone was eager to try. Although other items were good, they were nothing compared to their family background.
However, the golden soft armor is rare and can save lives at critical moments, so they will naturally put all their efforts into fighting for it later.
Everyone has already placed their bets, and now it's Jiang Youzhen's turn.
"I don't have any treasures, but I got a agate sculpture of a crane and a deer some time ago. It's not as luxurious as yours, so please bear with me."
Agate in this dynasty was also considered precious and was usually ground into beads or jewelry. Large ornaments, if without flaws and with good color, were relatively rare.
This ornament by Jiang Youzhen is made of raw stone that she had found in a tiankeng before. Later, he asked someone to dig out the agate inside. The quality is very good and the scarlet color is very bright, which is very rare.
She ordered people to carve two of the larger pieces into ornaments, and the leftovers were made into jewelry and given to her family.
At this time Fang Zhongyi opened his mouth. He was very poor and could not afford any treasures.
"Brother Fang, didn't you recently get a short sword that can cut through iron like mud? I have been dreaming of this great sword for a long time. You must take it out as a prize today." Jiang Youzhen suddenly said.
Fang Zhongyi was stunned. Wasn't the dagger already given to Jiang Youzhen? Seeing Jiang Youzhen's expression, he immediately understood what she meant and was deeply moved.
In order to prevent him from losing face, Jiang Youzhen took out the gift of congratulations that he had just sent to help him out. How could he not be moved?
He took a deep breath. Jiang Youzhen had taken care of him many times. When he became successful one day, he would definitely repay Jiang Youzhen's kindness.
"Okay, then I'll do as you say!" Fang Zhongyi agreed directly. He was not the kind of person who would shy away from words, and now he had to agree, otherwise Jiang Youzhen would be embarrassed along with him.
"Okay, it's getting late, let's get started now."
Following the Fourth Prince's order, everyone decided to draw lots to decide the order of appearance.
Jiang Youzhen didn’t care whether he won or not, so he didn’t think much of it being the last one to make a move.
The first one was the Prince of Rong. He climbed onto the horse with full confidence, looking quite casual.
"The Prince of Rong is also good at riding and shooting. He had an 80% chance of winning in the past." The Fourth Prince suddenly said while standing next to Jiang Youzhen.
Jiang Youzhen nodded, "Today's prize is so rich, especially His Highness's golden soft armor, I'm sure the prince will go all out."
The two of them stood away from the crowd, and unlike the noisy others, they seemed very calm.
The fourth prince smiled slightly, "But he won't be the champion today."
Naturally he couldn’t get it, Jiang Youzhen just smiled and said nothing.
These people are all smart people. Although they say that they will go all out and are determined to win first place, they know in their hearts that if the Fourth Prince offers a treasure like the golden soft armor as a prize, it means that you dare to give it, but I don't dare to take it.
Defeating the Fourth Prince was already a disgrace to His Highness, and if he were to take away the golden soft armor without any hesitation, it would be like an old man hanging himself - he thought his life was too long.
