My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 1787 Settlement of Accounts
There is a strong north wind outside.

In this way, the impact of the arrow is great.

There is no other way to compare with standing shooting.

All the brothers were present, and after exchanging greetings, they talked about what happened to Buku tonight.

There were lampstands at the four corners of the side hall, and the room was as bright as day.

On the ground was a red carpet that the Eighth Prince had ordered the Palace Garden Master to bring out. It was already laid out and was about ten feet square.

There were eight charcoal stoves scattered around the crowd.

Although it is not as good as the house with floor heating, this side hall is not that cold.

The offensive and defensive battles during the day were not satisfying enough, so everyone planned this Bu Ku game.

Yaer Jiang'a said to the eldest brother: "Wait until they warm up the crowd, then I'll wrestle with you!"

The eldest prince recalled that when he left the study, Yaerjiang'a was only about ten years old, at the age when he refused to submit to anyone. He had even challenged him, but he gave him an arm and threw him down until he burst into tears.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed.

The eldest prince said, "You have grown up. Do you not need me to give you an arm now?"

Yaer Jiang'a said proudly: "Things will change over time. Just wait and see. In a few years, I will give Big Brother an arm!"

Seeing that the two had decided on their opponents, the others also chose their opponents.

There are ten people in the room now, and needless to say, the Ninth Prince has become dispirited.

The Fourth Prince has thin legs and frail figure, and if anyone chooses him as an opponent, it would not be glorious even if he wins.

Everyone naturally ignored these two brothers.

The Third Prince came here to place a bet on himself, which was a sure win. Thinking about the carelessness during the day and the loss of Jingzhou, he immediately thought of a candidate and looked at Baotai and said, "Why don't we two brothers throw out some ideas and make an opening to set an example for them?"

Baotai was scolded by Kangxi in the afternoon, and he regretted not defending the camp with all his strength when the third prince came to seize the camp.

The opponent he originally chose was also the Third Prince.

Now, it is exactly what he wants.

He nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll compete with Third Brother!"

The Seventh Prince looked directly at the Tenth Prince and raised his eyebrows.

In the hand-to-hand combat during the day, the eldest prince and Yaerjiang Achong were in the front. They each held their own and were still one step away from victory.

After seeing the two's reactions, the Eighth Prince looked at the Thirteenth Prince.

When it was his turn, there was no choice.

The Eighth Prince knew that the Thirteenth Prince's archery skills were similar to those of the Third Prince, and that he could match him.

But beating the younger brother is different from beating the older brother.

If you beat your older brother, it means the younger generation is pushing the older generation forward, which is very glorious; but if you beat your younger brother, you will be suspected of bullying the younger one, which is nothing to brag about.

Seeing that he was silent, the Thirteenth Prince took the initiative to speak, saying, "When I was learning Bu Ku from the Fourteenth Prince, I thought that when I grew up, I would compete with my brothers. I am really waiting."

When the Eighth Prince heard this, he thought that he was five years older than the Thirteenth Prince.

When I was in the study room in my early years, the older brothers took care of me and the younger brothers were also close to me. I was very popular.

Just as I secretly complained about the eldest prince looking old, was the Thirteenth Prince also mocking me for being old?
In a blink of an eye, I have been working in the study for many years.

The Ninth Prince saw that the Fourth Prince was alone and laughed at him.

I am a "beauty lamp" and this guy is not that strong.

No one wants to play with him.

If the Fourth Prince wants to wrestle with his brothers, he probably has to wait until the Fifteenth Prince and the Sixteenth Prince grow up.

His joking was all over his face, without any concealment.

Seeing this, the Fourth Prince lowered his face and gave him a sidelong glance.

The Ninth Prince restrained himself and moved his body to make room at the other end of the bench. He said, "Fourth Brother, please sit down. It's tiring to stand and watch!"

The Fourth Prince stood in the viewing pavilion for two hours today, and his soles are still a little sore.

He snorted and sat down next to the Ninth Prince, saying, "You were talking quite lively this afternoon. Didn't you want to be the boss? Why are you so dull now?"

The Ninth Prince shook his head and said, "How can that be possible? I've been waiting for quite some time..."

Because the Third Prince was preparing for the show to begin, he and Baotai had already taken off their hats and masks, tucked in their gowns, and began to prepare.

The Ninth Prince said, "Needless to say, I'm betting on the Third Prince in this round!"

The bench where he and the Fourth Prince sat was on one side of the red carpet, with the Tenth Prince and the Seventh Prince standing on the left.

The Thirteenth Prince was standing next to the Fourth Prince. He felt something was wrong and turned around to ask, "Ninth Brother, aren't you going to be the banker? You're going to bet on the winner, so how do you calculate this?"

The Ninth Prince patted his forehead and said, "My brain is a mess. I calculated it wrong. It's like this. If you bet on Third Brother to win this round, the payout is... 120% for one car. If you bet on my cousin to win, the payout is double..."

The Third Prince was rolling up his sleeves when he added, "That's not right. I only won 20% more. On the other hand, shouldn't Baotai win 50% more?"

The Ninth Prince spread his hands and said, "You can't calculate it that way. If you do that, the dealer will lose a lot of money. Your opening doesn't have much suspense!"

Baotai was not convinced and said, "Ninth brother, are you underestimating me? I am just average at riding and shooting, but Buku was taught by my father!"

The Ninth Prince did not respond, but just looked at Baotai and then at the Third Prince.

The Third Prince was in his prime, with a long face and not much flesh on it. When he was dressed, others thought he was thin, but he was actually full of muscular tissue.

Looking at Baotai again, he has a slender figure and his fighting power is the third from the bottom in this room.

Baotai exhaled and said, "I bet on myself to win, I bet on a car!"

The tenth prince immediately said, "I bet on the third brother to win, and I bet on two cars!"

If his own Ninth Brother is in charge and it is not easy for him to end up like this, then he will end up like this and cover for Ninth Brother.

The Eighth Prince then said, "I'll bet on Baotai!"

Although the Seventh Prince and the Thirteenth Prince were the losers today, they got a lot of prey, with each of them getting several carts.

The two brothers looked at each other and neither followed suit.

There is no suspense about the outcome of this bet.

He didn't want the Third Prince to be too proud, but he was also unwilling to go along with the Eighth Prince.

However, Yaer Jiang'a, who was thinking that he was the last one to beat the last one, couldn't stand seeing the Third Prince being too proud, so he asked the First Prince, "Why don't you make a bet and give it a try?"

The eldest prince was afraid that Baotai would be embarrassed, so he said, "Okay, then I'll bet on Baotai too!"

Yaerjianga: "..."

I forgot that the eldest prince always loves to take care of his younger brother.

Of the two people on the field now, Baotai is the weaker one.

Yaerjianga said, "Then I will take advantage and bet on the third brother's car."

Is this what they call unstoppable luck?

Winning during the day is effortless, and the same is true for betting on winning or losing now.

Baotai became more serious when he saw his two cousins ​​betting on him.

I really have to give it my all, otherwise I will be sorry for the support of my two cousins.

The Ninth Prince calculated in his mind that there were a total of three cars betted by Baotai, and he would take them all.

The one who besieged the three carriages of the Third Prince had to pay 60% of the cost of one carriage.

I still have two cars and 40% left.

Haha ...

The biggest share belongs to you!
The banker did the right thing!
Seeing that the Fourth Prince was unable to get involved, the Ninth Prince acted like a good younger brother and said, "Fourth Brother, I have several cars. How about I lend you two cars as capital?"

Although the Fourth Prince appears calm and self-possessed, he is actually a playful and lively person at heart.

He accepted the Ninth Prince's kindness and said, "Okay, I'll borrow two cars first."

Even if you lose the bet, don’t be afraid, because you will have new spoils after the hunt tomorrow.

But in this round, the winner is clear, so the Fourth Prince doesn't plan to bet anymore.

On the carpet, the Third Prince and Baotai were already ready.

The eldest prince acted as the referee and gave the signal to start.

The Third Prince and Baotai both squatted in horse stance and grabbed each other's arms.

In the blink of an eye, the two changed directions, head to head, trying to hug and throw each other.

The Ninth Prince was a little surprised and stretched his neck to look at Baotai.

The Fourth Prince said, "Uncle Wang is a strict father..."

The Ninth Prince whispered, "No matter how well you teach, it's just a skill, but the Third Prince has a lot of skills too. There's no reversal of victory or defeat."

In a real Buku match, you can throw more recklessly, use more dirty tricks, and there is still a possibility of a reversal.

But Baotai’s character cannot be said to be as innocent as a child, nor does he seem to be a smart person.

Sure enough, the two players on the field had already started changing positions for the second time.

Not only was the Third Prince exerting force with his arms, he was also stumbling.

Baotai's breathing became disordered and his body became unstable.

The Third Prince held his breath, picked up Baotai and wanted to throw him down.

Baotai twisted his body and tried to compete with the Third Prince in strength.

The Third Prince kept moving his hands, actually pushing Baotai towards the edge of the carpet.

By the time Baotai reacted and hugged the Third Prince's arm, trying to get back to the center of the carpet, it was too late. The Third Prince twisted his waist and used his butt to push Baotai off the carpet.

Baotai was stunned.

He didn't expect that he would be defeated so quickly, in less than half a cup of tea, and he was knocked out by the Third Prince.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The Ninth Prince did not expect that the Third Prince would use this trick and could not help but laugh out loud.

When he laughed, others laughed too.

The eldest prince looked at the third prince and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Prince Jian smiled at the Third Prince and said, "Third brother is amazing, he can come up with new tricks!"

Buku's common moves do not include side collisions. Instead, he uses hugging, lifting, carrying, and pushing movements with his hands, combined with tripping on his feet to determine the outcome.

The Third Prince was full of pride and said, "This is also the reason why the military situation is unpredictable!"

Baotai came to his senses and bowed to the Third Prince, saying, "I've learned this from you, Third Brother. Next time I fight someone, I'll use this trick. It will definitely catch them by surprise!"

The Third Prince remembered something and turned to look at the Ninth Prince.

He forgot to bet on himself!
He was shocked by how little he had paid and asked the Ninth Prince the reason, but he had forgotten about the bet.

This is related to numerology. Not only did the Ninth Prince calculate it clearly, but the Third Prince also figured it out quickly.

What is this thing called?
I won a fight with great effort but got nothing. The Ninth Prince, who was just watching the fun, won two and a half carts of prey!
The Third Prince felt uncomfortable all over and looked at the Ninth Prince and said, "Ninth Brother, you can't count it this way. It's true that you are the banker, but you can't eat alone. Shouldn't the people who played also share their hard-earned money?"

After he said this, everyone looked at the Ninth Prince.

They all came from the study room and had learned mathematics. Even if they were slower than the Ninth Prince and the Third Prince, after thinking about it for a while, they understood how lucrative the profits of the Ninth Prince's banker were.

The Third Prince continued, "Take out one car in each round and give it to the two players. That's not too much, right?"

Baotai thought about how much effort he had put in, how much money he had lost, and how much energy he had wasted. He also felt that something was wrong, so he agreed, "We should share some of it."

Except for the Ninth Prince and the Fourth Prince, everyone else came on stage.

It’s not that everyone is as stingy as the Third Prince, who is reluctant to give up one or two carts of prey, but they just can’t bear to see the Ninth Prince reap the fruits of his labor.

Except for the Tenth Prince, everyone else nodded without saying anything, which showed their approval of the Third Prince and Baotai.

The Ninth Prince knew that although the food tasted delicious, he couldn't eat it alone.

He immediately said, "You can't calculate it that way. It's true that I bet six cars in this round, but who knows how to bet in the next three rounds? Or we can calculate it this way. No matter how much you bet, after paying the winner, the remaining two and one will be added to make five. I will take half, after all, I am taking risks; the other half will be shared by the two people who will play next!"

The Third Prince understood immediately that he would be given 60% of the cart, which meant ten elks or red deer, which was 10% more than the half cart he had proposed.

The Third Prince nodded and said, "Okay, okay, let's divide it this way!"

Baotai had no objection either.

At this time, someone at the door said, "What are you dividing..."
