The Kingdom of Marriage: My Stunning Empress
Chapter 71: Martial Competition in the Palace, Be Gentle, Don’t Let Anyone Die
Invisibly, this created an excellent momentum for Han Zhuo.
Lin Wuji quickly thought of the money Han Zhuo had mentioned. He immediately said to Han Zhuo, "You're not going to come to me to beg for money, are you?"
"Then you've come to the wrong place." Lin Wuji put his hands behind his back and straightened his spine.
He spoke in a deep voice, "I have spent my entire life in the military. My lifelong wish is to expand the territory and establish a great cause. I have always disdained those petty and profit-seeking activities. Therefore, my family does not have any assets."
Han Zhuo smiled and waved his hand, saying, "General, if I need money, I won't come to you. I'll just go and trick those three idiots from the Murong family."
Hearing Han Zhuo calling Murong Suheng a fool in the dark, Lin Kun, who had always been at odds with Murong Suheng, covered his mouth and laughed again.
However, he secretly glanced at his aunt again.
I discovered that this talented woman, who is usually quiet and elegant and rarely shows any emotion, actually smiled!
And she was smiling secretly with her lips pursed, her smile was as beautiful as a flower, and her smile was radiant!
Lin Wuji immediately became interested. He said to Han Zhuo, "You little brat, just tell me what you want to do."
Han Zhuo said, "I want to set up a betting platform in the inner and outer cities, so that the wealthy families, the aristocratic families, the landlords and the merchants can all invest their money and have a gamble!"
After hearing this, Lin Wuji's eyes sparkled.
He pointed at Han Zhuo, tapped the air several times, and laughed heartily: "Okay, but after this is done, this general will take 30%!"
Han Zhuo smiled and said, "Thirty percent isn't enough. I'll give you fifty percent!"
Lin Wuji didn't expect Han Zhuo to be so straightforward. He laughed heartily, "Okay, if that's the case, the extra 20% will be your betrothal gift to my daughter!"
"Extra, Extra! General Han Zhuo of the Cloud Banner and General Li Yujun of the Cavalry are competing in front of the palace. The fight officially begins today."
"There are betting platforms under each of the major drum towers. Everyone is welcome to place your bets!"
In the capital, at every major crossroads, there are always one or two clever young men shouting there, attracting many people to go to the Drum Tower to pay money to place bets!
In an instant, the win-loss ratio between Han Zhuo and Li Yujun soared to one hundred and fifty!
What concept?
If someone bets on Han Zhuo to win one tael of silver, they can earn one hundred and fifty taels!
Of course, looking at such a large win-loss ratio, you can tell that most people put their money on Li Yujun.
Soon, the open space in front of the palace was filled with children from major aristocratic families and civil and military officials who came to watch the battle.
Right now, the competition hasn't officially started yet, and everyone is chatting.
The topics of conversation were all related to the game.
The young master of the Hedong Wei family asked the young master of the Qinghe Cui family, "Hey, how many bets did you place on Li Yujun? I placed 200 bets, how about you?"
The young master of the Cui family said, "Hey, I placed 500 bets."
"It's a pity. The odds are too high right now. Even if I bet more, I won't make much money."
The young master of the Wei family said with a smile on his face: "Ah, we are just showing it to the Li family. Everyone knows that fools will lose anyway."
"Besides, it's quite refreshing to be able to see the young master of the Li family leading his troops to torture this fool from such a close distance."
As they were talking, the people around them started cheering. It turned out that Han Zhuo and Li Yujun had entered the arena with their respective soldiers.
At this moment, Han Zhuo was on the left and Li Yujun was on the right. As soon as the two sides appeared, they immediately attracted a lot of discussion among the crowd.
It turned out that Han Zhuo had much fewer people than Li Yujun, simply in terms of numbers.
The referees of this palace competition are the current general Lin Wuji and the Minister of the Central Secretariat Zhang Yongyan!
Needless to say, Lin Wuji is the military god of Xuanyuan Country, and Zhang Yongyan is the contemporary scholar of Xuanyuan Country, famous among the seven countries!
With these two witnesses, no one can act in a corrupt manner.
However, the outcome of the scene was clear at a glance, and most people's focus right now was on how Li Yujun would brutally beat Han Zhuo?
Lin Wuji stood on a makeshift wooden platform and used his internal energy to speak to the people around him.
No matter how far or near, his voice is like a loud bell, and can be clearly heard by everyone.
Lin Wuji said a few high-sounding words, and then without further ado, he waved his hand and spoke.
"Bang the drum!"
"After fifty drumbeats, the battle begins!"
Suddenly, a burly soldier on the drum tower not far away began to beat the drum "dong dong dong".
Han Zhuo, riding Hei Niu, was at the end of the group. He shouted to everyone, "Remember, everything will be done according to what I said before we got here."
"When you strike, be gentle, don't let anyone get killed!"
"We're all one family. Just hit them where they're weak, until they can't take care of themselves, until they can't get up. That's all!"
Although Han Zhuo's voice did not carry as far as Lin Wuji's, it was still loud and deep, and many people nearby heard it.
His words immediately caused everyone to burst into laughter, and they all mocked Han Zhuo for being a fool and not knowing the consequences.
Li Yujun's fair and handsome face always had his signature confident smile on it from beginning to end.
The corners of his mouth curled up in a wicked smile. As the fifty drum beats ended, he waved his hand and pointed in the direction of Han Zhuo and said.
"Come on like a cone and wipe out these chickens and dogs!"
At a command, the two hundred elite soldiers in front of him suddenly roared in unison.
Then, a strong man took the lead and rushed out first, and the people behind him followed in a line.
If you look from a distance, you can see that these two hundred people formed a cone-like shape while running, just like a knife, ready to pierce Han Zhuo's heart!
Han Zhuo was riding on Hei Niu. Seeing the other woman coming at him, he immediately said, "Come on!"
Suddenly, the one hundred and twenty new recruits in front of him rushed forward, waving their weapons and shouting.
On the surface, they seemed just like those gangsters fighting on the street, with no choreography at all!
In the distance, Zhang Yongyan saw this and shook his head, saying, "The winner is decided."
However, Lin Wuji smiled and said to Zhang Yongyan, "Hey, Lao Zhang, don't speak so quickly. How about we make a bet?"
Zhang Yongyan is a centrist and cannot please either side.
His governing philosophy is to serve the country and the people.
He would be happy to see anything that was beneficial to the Xuanyuan Kingdom.
However, Zhang Yongyan is a civil servant after all, and he and Lin Wuji have been bickering with each other since the moment they entered the court, which is a bit like a love-hate relationship.
Zhang Yongyan knew Lin Wuji very well.
Although Lin Wuji looks as strong as a tiger, he is actually very cunning and meticulous.
At that moment, Zhang Yongyan's eyebrows, which had already turned gray, raised slightly and he glanced at Lin Wuji.
"To bet with a barbarian like you? I'm just bored!"
Zhang Yongyan looked disgusted!
He has been dealing with Lin Wuji for decades and knows this old sly fellow too well!
As soon as Lin Wuji sticks out his butt, he knows what kind of fart the other person is going to let out!
