After the immortal disappeared

After all, Yao Country is located in the Golden Plains, and has retained some of its valiant customs. There is no taboo against bloodshed on the birthday of King Yao.

Because of the frequent accidents, the imperial duel is the most anticipated program of every birthday ceremony.

As soon as the dance floor was cleared, two people ran up, saluted King Yao first, then clasped their fists to each other, and the battle began, no nonsense.

The first group is often a warm-up for the subsequent fighting. Yuwen Yong explained to He Lingchuan that the two who came on the field were a guest of the Gu family and a guard of the Bu family.

His two families have been somewhat at odds for many years, and often look for masters to compete in the birthday ceremony of King Yao.

King Yao and his ministers did not mind this at all. Everyone watched the excitement, they resolved their personal grudges, each got what they needed, and everyone was happy.

The first group of competitions was fierce but quick. The guard of the Bu family was more skilled and won by breaking two ribs of his opponent.

The opening was not a simple performance, which also set the tone of blood and violence.

After the warm-up, the atmosphere in Yuquan Palace had become lively, so the next group came on stage.

The fight on the stage was lively, and the officials below the stage pointed and talked. He Lingchuan did not expect that such a solemn occasion could actually open a handicap, with bets on winning and losing, bets on scores, and support for betting, just like the military review hall in Panlong City.

Fan Shuang stayed outside the venue and placed three or four bets in a row.

In fact, the standing officers could leave as soon as the imperial competition began. But almost no one left the scene, and no one wanted to miss the exciting fighting.

He Lingchuan and Yuwen Yong and Qu Ruhai gambled two games respectively, all with one win and one loss, theoretically no loss or gain.

Another competition ended, and one of them had his right arm cut off, and blood splashed on the delicate white flowers, which was shocking.

There was applause at the scene, and the atmosphere was immediately pushed to a climax.

He Lingchuan smiled and stretched out his hand to Qu Ruhai: "I won, thank you for letting me win."

Qu Ruhai rolled his eyes, took out ten taels of gold, and slammed it on the table: "Take it!"

After three bets, the other party won twice. Is this guy surnamed He lucky or has a bad eye?

At this time, General Chongwu went up to toast King Yao, who slowly said: "You are about to go to the north, and Xue Aiqing's former opponent will also be your opponent. As the saying goes, knowing yourself and knowing the enemy, you will win every battle."

"Yes." General Chongwu's eyes flickered, trying to figure out the king's intention.

Xue Zongwu and his opponent? The king is referring to?

He got this position because the Great Regent wanted it, and others had already labeled him as Qingyang. The more strained the relationship between King Yao and Qingyang Regent was, the more embarrassed Chongwu would be. Fortunately, he didn't have to stay in Tianshui City for long, and would spend most of his time in the north in the future.

Yao Wang had his eyelids drooping, but when he heard Qu Ruhai slapping the table, he looked at Qu Ruhai deeply and sighed: "It's all our warriors performing, as if they are entertaining themselves. It's hard for foreign envoys to watch for a long time. It's better to share happiness with others than to enjoy it alone. As the host, we should make the guests and hosts happy."

Even Yuwen Yong understood this obvious hint. He drank the wine in the cup and was about to ask for a fight, but General Chongwu had already taken the lead and threw the cup on Qu Ruhai's table.

Although it was thrown casually, the silver cup fell on the table very lightly, making only a clang, and slid forward half a foot, just stopping in front of Qu Ruhai's arm.

Throwing the cup to invite a fight.

Qu Ruhai's eyes fixed and looked up.

General Chongwu smiled at him: "Left Patriarch, shall we get closer?"

As the Left Patriarch of Luodian, Qu Ruhai was arrogant after arriving in Tianshui City. Today, he was talking and laughing loudly at the birthday ceremony of King Yao.

King Yao had long wanted to teach him a lesson, and Chongwu understood and challenged him.

Qu Ruhai stood up and pinched his knuckles, saying nonchalantly: "Okay, but is this a fight to the point or a fight to the death?"

General Chongwu looked at King Yao, who did not even raise his eyebrows: "Clan leader Qu is a guest from afar, how can you fight a guest to death?"

Although fighting in Yuquan Palace allowed open swords and guns, Qu Ruhai had a special status and was a guest. If he was really beaten and killed here, how could Luodian Kingdom let it go?

How could Luodian recognize the rules of Yao Kingdom?

Chongwu understood and clasped his fists to Qu Ruhai: "Please."

Qu Ruhai laughed and strode away.

Qingyang changed his sitting position, propped up his chin with his hand, and glanced at General Chongwu and He Lingchuan.

One was the newly promoted Zhenbei General, and the other was Zuo Zongzhang of Luodian State. Their status was not comparable to the previous groups of warriors.

Moreover, these two people went to the north line, and they might be opponents on the battlefield in the future.

Now they are going to show their true colors here in advance, isn't that always interesting? For a while, people on and off the field rushed to place bets.

Gu Xuan moved over and asked He Lingchuan: "Who do you think will win this time? I'll bet with you."

He Lingchuan asked Yuwen Yong: "What about Brother Yuwen?"

This is really hard to choose. Yuwen Yong stroked his chin and hesitated for a while, and still said: "I choose Chongwu."

These two people have outstanding cultivation, and they are both generals in command of troops. Yuwen Yong is actually not sure who will win; and King Yao ordered "stop when it's enough", so many killing skills on the battlefield cannot be taken out, and it is even more difficult to evaluate.

However, General Chongwu will soon become Yuwen Yong's colleague. The two of them will be stationed in the northern border together. If he bets on Qu Ruhai to win, it will hurt the relationship between colleagues.

He Lingchuan called the palace people to check, and the odds of Qu Ruhai were surprisingly high. The officials of Yao State behind him usually bet on General Chongwu to win.

They may not like Chongwu, but they must hate Qu Ruhai more. This is a matter of position.

On the other hand, the odds of General Chongwu are too low. If you bet on General Chongwu, you can only make less than one penny at most by betting one tael of silver.

"What's the point of this?" He Lingchuan shook his head repeatedly, "Well, I'm not a Yao person anyway, I'll bet on Qu Ruhai to win, is there anyone else to compete with me?"

After that, he took out the silver bills and spread them on the table, one by one! "Here are two thousand taels of silver bills!"

Gu Xuan: "..."

Is it so casual?

Two thousand taels, this can buy a good house in Tianshui City, but it's not the central city. When everyone heard the sound and saw that there was a rival bet, the small officials below placed bets again, all betting on Chongwu to win.

It's both correct and can make more money, why not?

He Lingchuan also smiled openly. Ask again, Qu Ruhai's odds have risen to four times, that is to say, as long as Qu Ruhai wins, He Lingchuan can earn eight thousand taels of silver.

Yao Wang and Qingyang glanced at him and said nothing.

Gu Xuan said, "Brother He and I also bet one thousand taels."

In a flash, one million yuan was bet out.

"Aren't you afraid that your money will go down the drain?" He Lingchuan summoned the palace servants and took out a stack of banknotes, "Bet again for a tie, three thousand taels."

Officials: "..."
