Ministers Begging Me to Ascend the Throne-Chapter 152 - One Hundred Thirty-Two: Four Younger Brothers_2

Chapter 152: Chapter One Hundred Thirty-Two: Four Younger Brothers_2

He rides well because he can understand what the horses say.

His archery skills are good, which he didn’t expect either. On his first day learning archery, he inexplicably felt that he would excel at it. Sure enough, he learned it very well.

Zhao Yao felt he had a great talent for archery. He heard that his stinky father’s archery was excellent, so he probably inherited his stinky father’s archery skills.

The apple-shooting competition just now was also his first time trying it. In the palace, he had never practiced it.

Even though he had never practiced, he was confident he wouldn’t lose.

Chu Huan found it hard to accept: "How is that possible?"

Zhang He incredulously retorted: "Impossible, only learning for three months can’t result in such good archery skills."

"Then how long do you think I’ve been learning?" Zhao Yao shrugged and said, "Even if I started learning archery from birth, it would only be six years by now."

Zhao Yao’s words left Zhang He and the others speechless.

Indeed, he was no more than six years old.

"You... how could it be..." Zhang He and the others couldn’t accept it.

However, Chu Huan, after being shocked, accepted it frankly.

"You have a high talent for archery, don’t waste it." His father once said there are always people better than you and mountains beyond mountains. He always felt he had a talent for archery and that as long as he trained diligently, he could eventually shoot like his father. But he didn’t expect to meet a genius like the one his father mentioned today.

His father had told him that some people are born gifted, with talents in every aspect higher than ordinary people, just like the emperor. His father said his own archery was not as good as the emperor’s and that the emperor was proficient in martial arts, horseback riding, and military strategy.

The emperor was excellent in every aspect, so his father and the others greatly respected him.

His father also said that one should not be jealous of others because of their talents; otherwise, one would never improve. Accepting others’ excellence openly gives oneself the motivation or pressure to become better.

Chu Huan solemnly advised Zhao Yao: "Don’t neglect your training because of your high talent in archery, or you’ll waste it."

Zhao Yao didn’t expect Chu Huan to suddenly lecture him.

Chu Huan continued: "The higher your talent, the more diligently you should practice. In the future, you’ll definitely be able to shoot like my father."

Zhang He and the others didn’t understand why Chu Huan would say these things to Zhao Yao, but they could see Chu Huan was very serious.

Zhao Yao could also sense Chu Huan’s sincerity. He nodded and said, "I will definitely practice diligently." He might end up on the battlefield one day, so he naturally needed to hone his archery skills; that way, he could use them to save his life in battle.

Hearing Zhao Yao say this, Chu Huan felt relieved.

"We lost, you can make your demand now."

Zhao Yao looked at Zhang He and the other three and asked, "Do you three accept it?"

Zhang He and the three of them exchanged glances and said, "We accept. What do you want us to do?"

Shen Sen quickly added: "We never do anything against the heavens or robbing and stealing, nor do we kill or set fires."

"Why would I want you to do those things?"

"Then what do you want us to do?"

Zhao Yao smiled and said, "I want you three to be my little brothers."

"What?" Zhang He exclaimed, "You’re letting us be your little brothers?"

"You brat, you’re too arrogant, daring to let us be your little brothers!" Shen Sen said angrily, "Who do you think you are?"

"That’s the funniest thing I’ve ever heard." Song Jicai sneered, "Do you have what it takes to be our leader?"

"I do."

"What makes you think you can be our leader?"

"Because I beat you, and I beat you at what you’re good at, horse riding and archery. Don’t you want to honor your bet?" Zhao Yao looked at Zhang He and the others mockingly, "Didn’t expect you guys to be cowards, breaking your promise!"

"It’s because your request is unreasonable!"

"You’re just a brat, several years younger than us. Why should we acknowledge you as our elder brother?"

"As I said, because you lost to me." Zhao Yao said with disdain, looking at Shen Sen and the others, "If you don’t want to honor the bet, I’ll tell everyone in the capital you’re liars."

"You..." Song Jicai and the others cared most about their "fierceness" reputation.

"You little brat, you dare threaten us?"

"I’m just telling the truth."

Chu Huan looked at Zhao Yao, then agreed: "Okay!"

"Xiao Bai, are you crazy?" Zhang He and the others shouted in shock.

"Xiao Bai, this brat’s request is unreasonable; we don’t have to comply."

"Yeah, yeah, no one is qualified to be the big brother of the four little overlords!"

Chu Huan ignored Zhang He and the others, "I will honor my bet." He was utterly convinced by his loss, without a hint of dissatisfaction or regret. Also, he could tell the brat before him was no ordinary affluent child. "From today, you’re my big brother."

"Xiao Bai!!!" Zhang He and the others cried out incredulously!

Seeing that Zhang He and the others were unwilling, Chu Huan said to Zhao Yao: "It suffices for me to acknowledge you as my big brother; there’s no need to compel them to do the same."

Zhao Yao readily replied: "Alright."

Chu Huan cupped his hands and called Zhao Yao: "Big brother!"

Zhao Yao saw Chu Huan was not unwilling and walked up to him, reached out, and patted his shoulder.

"Rest assured, I won’t let you suffer for acknowledging me as your big brother." He turned to Zhang He and the others, looking at them disdainfully, "You untrustworthy guys can leave."

"You..."

"Xiao Bai, are you crazy?" freewёbnoνel.com

"I’m not crazy, I’ve accepted my loss whole-heartedly."

Shen Sen looked at Zhao Yao, then at the earnest Chu Huan, gritted his teeth, and said: "I’ll acknowledge too."

"You three..."

"The four of us have always done things together; we can’t abandon Xiao Bai, or are we even brothers?"

These words made Zhang He and Song Jicai fall silent. The four of them grew up together, always doing everything together, never leaving anyone behind. This time, they couldn’t abandon Xiao Bai.

"We acknowledge too!"

"If you three are unwilling, there’s no need to acknowledge me as your big brother." Zhao Yao said, "Having Xiao Bai is enough."

Zhang He and they gritted their teeth and said, "We’re not unwilling."

Zhao Yao teased Zhao He and them: "Now, call me big brother and let me hear it."

Shen Sen and the other three took a deep breath and whispered, "Big brother."

"Too quiet, I didn’t hear it."

Zhang He and the others shouted in anger: "Big brother!"

"Ah!" Zhao Yao had wanted to tease Zhang He and the others a bit more, but fearing he’d rile them up too much, he let it be. "Don’t worry, following me, you’ll definitely live well in the future."

Zhang He and the others sneered at Zhao Yao’s words, not believing half a word.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself; my name is Liang Yao."

"Good medicine?" Shen Sen teased, "What kind of name is that?"

"Is it ’good medicine bitter mouth’?"

"Why would your parents give you such a funny name?"

"You can ask them when you meet my father in the future."

When Zhang He and the others learned the brat’s true identity later, they deeply regretted what they said today.
