Chapter 199: School gamble

This day was the day when Wuqi and Le Ji made a duel. Early in the morning, heavy lead-colored clouds covered the city of Zhidu, and snowflakes as big as a child's palm continued to fall, adding a bit of solemnity to Zhidu out of thin air. In such bad weather, except for those who had to go out, everyone else would rather hide in the family of their wives and children at home, and who would like to go out to suffer the cold?

On the Forbidden Palace School Field in the Dayan Palace, flags roared and the shouts of killing were like thunder.

Ten thousand imperial guards, composed of eunuchs, were wearing heavy armor, holding heavy sabers of five feet long, and performed in the school field. The drums were like thunder and the horns were shaking the sky. Ten thousand imperial guards rushed back and forth on the school field several miles long and wide, and the murderous aura shattered the snowflakes falling from the sky. The snow on the ground had been melted into water by the heat emitted from the imperial guards.

On the reading stand around the schoolyard, from Yan Dan, thousands of powerful and powerful people in the Great Yan Dynasty sat on it and watched the imperial guards perform.

After an hour of exercise, the imperial guards were already sweating profusely. When the sweat kept dripping along the gaps of the armor, Yan Dan, who was sitting on the throne, slowly raised his right hand. Ma Yi, who was standing beside Yan Dan, shouted sternly: "Your Majesty has the order, exercise, stop!"

Ma Yi shouted loudly, and the ten thousand imperial guards immediately stopped, neatly formed a square formation in the schoolyard, and knelt heavily on one knee towards Yan Dan. The knees of the imperial guards, wearing heavy armor, collided with the ground, and their sound was like thunder, which made the surrounding palaces and pavilions tremble slightly, and the snow on the roof tiles slid down the tiles.

Yan Dan nodded with satisfaction, and he said lightly: "No, it can be seen that he has put a lot of effort into practicing on weekdays. Each person has a bounty of twenty, so leave!"

Ma Yi raised his chest and shouted sternly: "Your Majesty's kindness, the imperial guards will be rewarded with ten gold each, thank you!"

The imperial guards bowed down and shouted loudly. Then they stood up in an orderly manner and walked out of the school ground with rumble.

A loud beast sounded, and Le Wan, who had been impatient, rushed into the school ground with a golden spear and a golden-eyed Qilin horse. He rode his horse back and forth on the school ground with his might. He rode his horse back and forth for three times before he sat on the horse and bowed to Yan Dan and said, "Your Majesty, please ask Mr. Tianyun to come out!"

Yan Dan coughed lightly, turned his head to look at a reading stand on the west side, and a curtain surrounded by purple brocade. If you are condescending, you can see every move in the curtain clearly. Wuqi, wearing a light blue middle garment, was slowly wearing the inner layer of golden silk soft armor with the help of Meng Xiaobai and others, then hung a layer of chain mail in the middle, and finally put on a layer of blue steel plate heavy armor in the big Yan style.

This set of triple armor weighs more than 380 kilograms, and the steps to wear are extremely complicated. Meng Xiaobai and others have no experience in helping people wear armor, so they have been making a fuss for a quarter of an hour. Wuqi has not finished putting the armor yet. Princess Zhengle is on the reading stand next to the curtain. She poked out most of her body from the fence and kept dancing and scolding Meng Xiaobai: "Idiot Xiaobai, that hook is wrong! Oh, that is the crotch protection, the crotch protection, what are you hanging on your chest? Hey, don't buckle the heart protection glass on your butt! You guys who have lumps in your mind, will you wear heavy armor?"

Yan Dan narrowed his eyes and suddenly laughed. He shook his head and smiled at Le Wan, "Le Wan, Mr. Tianyun is still on the apex, please wait for a while."

Le Wan's face turned blue with anger. He turned his mount, stared at the direction of the curtain tightly, and suddenly roared: "Wuqi, you dare to hurt Li Er for no reason. Today, Le Wan must make you pay the blood debt!"

On the reading stand where Princess Zhengle was, Lu Chengfeng had a gloomy face, with his hands behind his back, staring at Le Wan tightly and fiercely. After staring at Le Wan for a long time, Lu Chengfeng hummed in a low voice: "If Wuqi hurt a hair today, I swear here that one day, I will use the formation of the three-life chaotic tribulations to kill your family and the whole family!"

Lu Chengfeng's voice was extremely low, but the twenty or so young men dressed in literati around him could hear it clearly. They looked at each other and nodded at the same time. These people were the illegitimate young men from the Lu Kingdom family who came to Jidu from Lu Chengfeng's letters. They had already held various positions under Lu Chengfeng's disciples, greatly alleviating the lack of talent in Lu Chengfeng's Yanlegong Mansion.

Now Lu Chengfeng is their lord. The so-called lord is humiliating and his ministers die. Their life, death, honor and disgrace are already connected with Lu Chengfeng, so they naturally have to advance and retreat together.

Lu Quyuan, who had an arm missing, stood carefully beside Lu Chengfeng, and also gritted his teeth at Le Yun on the school ground. He murmured in a low voice: "Brother, why don't we buy the killer with a lot of money, let's get rid of this Le Yun today."

On that day in Xiaomeng City, Wuqi forced Lu Quyuan to swear allegiance to Lu Chengfeng, and Lu Chengfeng also accepted Lu Quyuan's surrender. Now Lu Quyuan has also come to Jidu with these illegitimate young men and the 15,000 soldiers. Lu Chengfeng arranged for Lu Quyuan to be his personal aide to handle all kinds of fragmentary matters around him. In the past month when Wuqi was in seclusion, Lu Quyuan's performance was very good. It was because of Lu Quyuan's good performance around Lu Chengfeng, Lu Quyuan's father, Lu Chengfeng's second uncle, was the only person in the Lu family in Liyang who was able to save his life and title.

Looking at Lu Quyuan, Lu Chengfeng snorted coldly: "Remember, if Wugui has something to do today, he will spend all the financial resources in the mansion and buy the masters to kill Le Ren!" After a slight pause, Lu Chengfeng frowned and said: "If the fat water does not flow to outsiders' fields, please ask the master to take action."

Lu Quyuan responded, and glared at Le Yun with his red eyes with his common hatred.

Le Wan, who was roaring and cursing in the school ground, couldn't control the anxiety in his heart, and ran again. He had been holding his anger for a month, and he couldn't hold back. It would be fine if Wuqi injured his son, but the acquired spirit golden bead in the mansion was stolen. This is the real fatal thing. Le Wan has been unable to think about food and food and sleep, and his spirit is almost broken.

He could not imagine what would happen if Le Yi knew what the spirit gold beads he had spent thirty to buy for the city were stolen. He only knew that he needed to vent his vent of evil fire on Wuqi. Only by using the most cruel means to kill Wuqi can he save all this.

King Yan Xianchen of Ren has promised Leh that if he could kill Wuqi in public on the school ground, Yan Xianchen would give Leh a acquired spirit gold bead he collected three hundred years ago. Whether it was Wuqi’s personal grudge or for this spirit gold bead, Leh must kill Wuqi.

Ce Qi ran wildly for a few weeks, and Le Ji roared to the sky again: "My son, come out to fight! What are you doing? Are you timid?"

On the throne, Yan Dan frowned, and he shook his head and sighed: "Le Ren is not worthy of use. If the Qin army attacks, let him be the vanguard officer to fight!"

Ma Yi glanced at Yan Dan, bowed slightly, and responded to the matter. After hesitating for a moment, Ma Yi whispered: "Your Majesty, won't you stop this duel? This is not the personal grudge between Le Ji and Wu Qi, it is clearly between the two generals...they..."

Yan Dan glanced at Ma Yi sideways and sneered: "Stop, why stop?"

Suddenly he stood up, Yan Dan smiled and said, "My servants, today the former general Le Wan and Tianyun Gong Wuqi fight to the death. My man in Da Yan is the most brave and martial. If a man has a grudge, he should decide a victory or defeat on the sword. He is not allowed to secretly plot against the beast. Such a grand event, Dan will be the banker. If you are interested, please bet!"

After laughing a few times, Yan Dan narrowed his eyes and said, "The two sides bet, no matter how much bet they bet, Dan is responsible for helping to collect the gambling bill. Hahaha, everyone asks for fun, Dan will not tick it. Everyone bets clearly and at a real price, who is interested in betting?" Ma Yi waved his hand, and several eunuchs hurriedly held a small case and gave them pens, ink, paper and inkstone. Ma Yi knelt down and prepared to register the gambling money.

Almost as soon as Yan Dan's words fell, Jing Ke's voice sounded: "My dear Jing Ke, please don't beg for victory. Jing Ke escorted the city to seal off a hundred spiritual stone ore veins, fifty rare metal veins of various colors, ten gold mountains, ten silver mountains, ten copper mountains, ten iron mountains, fishing grounds, salt fields, pearl fields, ten forest farms, ten sandalwood forests, ten nanmu forests, ten nanmu forests, ten golden silk cypress forests, and ten ten ten thousand-year Bodhi forests."

With a light cough, Jing Ke smiled indifferently and said, "My Chou is very tight, Jing Ke only has these money for private houses to make wine. Who is interested in betting against Jing Ke?"

As soon as Jing Ke finished speaking, Gao Jianli's voice sounded again: "I, Gao Jianli, bet on Tianyun Gong, and don't bet on him. The bet is just like Jing Ke. Well, let's add more heads. There are three wine cellars in the village outside the city that are more than a thousand years old, all of which are bet on."

Jing Ke suddenly roared: "Gao Jianli, you are a bastard! How can you take these wine cellars up?"

Gao Jianli snorted softly, but did not reply to Jing Ke's words.

Yan Dan smiled and said, "Okay, Jing Ke, Gao Jianli has placed bets, does anyone dare to accept the bet?"

A strong and powerful voice sounded: "I dared to gamble with the General, the Chief of the Central Committee, and I will take a bet of all the bets of both of you."

Yan Dan narrowed his eyes and smiled, he nodded repeatedly and said, "Xian Chen has taken the bets from the two Qing families. Is there anyone willing to participate?"

Qin Wuyang suddenly shouted: "Brother Jing Ke, Wuyang will bet with you today, and bet on Youliu defeat Wuqi. Wuyang is not rich enough, so he will use 30 cities to blockade the city, seven spirit stone veins, and 30 rare metal veins to make a game. The other bets are 60% of yours, can you still raise the bet?"

An old and thick voice sounded: "Xiao Wuyang, since you said that, then I bet with you. Tian Guang also took out his private room with a concubine, and then bet against Qin Wuyang. I also bet on the additional twenty city lockdown, ten mineral veins, and thirty gold mines, etc.."

Qin Wuyang and Tian Guang's sudden joining made the atmosphere on the school field extremely strange.

Suddenly, a voice sounded: "Haoying Zhengfeng dared to take the old man's bet, and an additional 30% bet will be added. Can anyone take it?"

At a glance, I said, and soon hundreds of powerful people from the Yan Dynasty joined the gamble. About 70% of the people enjoyed the gambling and won, and about 30% agreed with Jing Ke and Gao Jianli, and did not beg for the bet. There were still thousands of powerful people who were not in a good position, had insufficient wealth, or had insufficient courage, and had relatively neutral positions. They stood there and watched both sides bet, and no one said it.

However, in terms of betting, the people represented by Jing Ke and Gao Jianli have an absolute disadvantage. The number of other parties is large, and the huge bets they have collected is more than twice theirs. If Jing Ke and Gao Jianli forcefully take out the corresponding bets to bet, it is likely to damage the fundamental interests of their family.

Jing Ke gritted his teeth and was about to take out enough bets to fight the other party head-on, Mo Zhai and Su Qin suddenly joined forces to appear on the reading stand behind Yan Dan.

Mo Zhai said softly: "Jing Ke, how many bets are missing from Gao Jianli, Momen will bear it with all his strength."
