Chapter 1347 Shooting Over

Shooting means guessing, and covering means covering.

Covering is a guessing game.

The new emperor once asked the question of "left and right foot to enter the door" when he entered the Zhang family's house. Zhang Xuezhou originally thought that the other party was trying to embarrass others, but now he thinks about it, this is probably the reason why the new emperor likes to shoot.

The new emperor likes shooting, and Zhang Xuezhou still has to hold on even if he has no ability in shooting.

After all, everyone is at about the same level in this guessing game, so even if you guess blindly, there is still a chance of being fooled.

Sang Hongyang was a close attendant of the new emperor, and Zhang Xuezhou hoped that Sang Hongyang would speak kindly to him when he had the opportunity.

"Brother Dongfang, are you really good at shooting?"

Hearing Zhang Xuezhou's self-recommendation, Sang Hongyang couldn't help but be a little curious.

"I had no opponent in Shefu all over Chengdu, so my cousin could fight with me for 300 rounds." Zhang Xuezhou said: "If His Majesty is short of people when playing Shefu, please suggest that Your Majesty ask me to guess. I will definitely not do it." Embarrassing you."

"As long as your shooting skills are high, I will definitely recommend it to you!"

The new emperor also needs to combine work and rest. Their companions are on the labor side, while Guo Sheren is on the leisure side.

If Zhang Xuezhou makes a joke about this kind of thing, not only will he lose face, but Zhang Xuezhou himself will also be in trouble.

As long as Zhang Xuezhou's shooting skills make the new emperor happy, he will also be looked at differently as a recommender.

"It's really wonderful to have fun!"

Guo Sheren is the new emperor's companion. If the new emperor wants to find someone to have fun with normally, Guo Sheren is the first choice among them.

Sang Hongyang and Han Yan are the new emperor's reading companions, but they also have playmates.

"Has he given any official promotion to the person in question now?"

Zhang Xuezhou looked over and saw that Guo Sheren was also personable and a talented person. Even though he was wearing ordinary civilian clothes, he could not conceal his youthful and vigorous vitality.

Talent is one thing, likability is another.

This is a person who is very good at playing. Sang Hongyang has heard Xinti praise him more than once.

The former actually creates benefit value, while the latter provides psychological and emotional value to those in high positions.

At this time, Guo Sheren was taking a wooden box and inviting people to shoot him.

In reality, there are many talented people who can only work hard, and there are also some people who flatter their bosses and get promoted.

Zhang Xuezhou doesn't like the latter, but he agrees with the necessity of its existence.

"Except for those who have been sealed in the past, Your Majesty has not rewarded anyone with an official rank in the matter." Sang Hongyang said: "Guo Sheren should be qualified, but His Majesty was afraid of being scolded by the Empress Dowager for being too lazy to play with things, so he I have never given anything to Guo Sheren, but I will definitely reward him in the future."

Having been in contact with Zhang Xuezhou many times, he still believed in Zhang Xuezhou's character.

The other party has some broken silver in his left hand, and around his waist is a half a tael of money, which is obviously used for betting.

Compared with the discomfort caused by labor, relaxation is obviously more pleasant to the body and mind.

"It seems that among us, Guo Sheren has the best shooting skills. Look, he is inviting people to shoot him over there again!"

Recommendations are very popular in the imperial court. If someone's talent in a certain area is discovered, the recommender can also receive a reward.

Sang Hongyang nodded repeatedly.

If you don't work hard to show your talent, you can only take the latter shortcut.

People like Zhang Xuezhou can't even perform normal official duties. They work for twelve days and have to rest for twelve days. Almost half a month has passed in one rotation.

It is undoubtedly difficult to expect him to achieve anything.

"I am actually suitable for flattery and promotion!"

He judged his way out in his mind, and under the guidance of Sang Hongyang, he approached Guo Sheren who was inviting people to shoot him down in the camp.

At this time, Guo Sheren had already found the target of his shooting, a young man in blue.

"How many leaves are there in my wooden box?"

What Guo Sheren hid in the wooden box were leaves. As long as he didn't lift the wooden box to look through it, he could use other methods at will. One hides, one guesses, this is the first round.

In the second round, it will be a matter of guessing and hiding, and the winner will be determined.

This is undoubtedly a bit of a gamble.

"I looked at the leaves you just grabbed and quickly counted the number of leaves you hid. It's not hard to guess this time, twelve leaves," the young man in blue said cautiously.

"Li Yannian, you open the wooden box and count yourself," Guo Sheren said with a smile.

"I have to ask you to guess the leaves later. Why are these...nine leaves?"

The young man in blue was cautious and confident, but after opening the wooden box and counting, his face was full of disbelief.

"It's not that easy to count the leaves when they are stacked together." Guo Sheren said with a smile: "Now it's your turn to hide it. Then you can let me guess the hidden object, guess the number, guess the direction, and guess the shape, no problem!"

"Then take a guess. I don't believe you can guess it right every time!"

Li Yannian grabbed the wooden box and didn't bother to look for the items. Instead, he directly used Guo Sheren's leaves.

He turned his back to Guo Sheren. After some operations, he locked the wooden box and let Guo Sheren guess.

"Since it's a guess, I'll just guess it!"

Guo Sheren took the wooden box, shook it slightly, and casually told the result.

"Are you really sure it's eleven leaves and won't change?" Li Yannian asked.

"Just eleven leaves." Guo Sheren nodded and said, "You should have added two more leaves to my leaves!"

"I'll play with you when I get rich!"

The wooden box was not opened for verification, so Li Yannian gave Guo Sheren twenty and a half taels.

"How did you guess that I added two leaves, just by shaking the wooden box like this?" Li Yannian asked in confusion.

"Yes." Guo Sheren happily took half the money and said, "You'll know this just by hearing the sound!"

"Next time, let's use a basin to guess. Don't shake the basin," Li Yannian said.

"Okay." Guo Sheren responded without hesitation: "You gave me this wooden box last time. Just don't give me the basin next time!"

These two people shot over and over very quickly to determine the outcome.

Just a moment after Zhang Xuezhou and others arrived nearby, the shooting by Guo She and Li Yannian was already over.

"How about it? He has a high level of shooting, right?" Sang Hongyang said with an envious look on his face: "If I had this ability, I could win a lot of money."

"It's really high!"

Zhang Xuezhou nodded.

Maybe it was because he had a higher level of cultivation among young people, or maybe it was because Zhang Xuezhou was also very skillful with his hands. He barely saw Guo Sheren use his tricks.

The other party deliberately asked Li Yannian to see the number of leaves when he quickly glanced at them, and then hid the leaves under the eyes of the other party at a faster speed. As a result, Li Yannian clearly saw the number, but the answer was wrong.

Guo Sheren guessed that the number of leaves hidden by Li Yannian probably involved hearing and counting, or that Guo Sheren had the ability to distinguish subtle weights. No matter which ability it is, it requires talent.

With dexterous hands and the ability to discern subtle details, it is not surprising that Guo Sheren has a high level of shooting.

As long as Guo Sheren doesn't play tricks in front of the great cultivator, the opponent's tricks can almost defeat his peers.

"Do you want to play with him?" Sang Hongyang asked.

“It doesn’t hurt to have a little fun!”

Zhang Xuezhou nodded.

He could barely see clearly Guo Sheren's methods, which made him almost invincible.

As for how to prevent Guo Sheren from guessing what he was hiding, that would take some thought.
