"By then, it might already be spring!"

Bai Shaoqiu's voice echoed in Qi Shaotong's ears.

Qi Shaotong still stood there, but his eyes fell on Bai Shaoqiu's back.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that the straight back looked extremely tall!

The good-for-nothing who had been spurned by the people of Xiling City for more than ten years, revealed his edge to everyone today!

Did he wait until dawn and spring?

As it should be!

He became the son-in-law of the royal family and had the talented and capable Princess Changying as his wife. He needed to change the palace's view of him and let the palace know that he, the royally appointed son-in-law, would not bring shame to the palace.

What’s more important is that he needs Princess Changying to change her mind.

So here he is.

Before coming here, he read books in the library of Shangling Academy for three days and won the couplet competition against Song Zigui... At that time, he had actually revealed his talent, but no one took it seriously.

Now, he is moving forward firmly with the proud achievement of five A-levels. He will definitely become the champion of this literary gathering!

Qi Shaotong didn't feel any jealousy at all!

At this moment, he felt that Bai Shaoqiu should be the leader!

only……

He suddenly remembered the last topic of current affairs after entering Lanting. He and Song Zigui and his party already knew the topic and had made sufficient preparations, but Bai Shaoqiu did not know.

This...is unfair to him!

"Brother Bai, please stay!"

Bai Shaoqiu stopped and turned around, "Brother Qi, what else do you want?"

Qi Shaotong walked over quickly, hesitated for a moment, and then told Bai Shaoqiu everything Chang Huan said about the last question last night.

"Really?"

"Of course this is true. Brother Bai enlightened me. How could I lie to Brother Bai?"

"No, I'm saying that Beiliang has stationed 100,000 troops, intending to use Akinohara to graze horses. The court is actually considering the fate of Akinohara, and the emperor even mentioned the word 'chicken ribs'... Is this news true?"

Qi Shaotong was stunned. He never thought that this was what Bai Shaoqiu was concerned about at this time.

"It should be true. Walk slower and think about what to do now."

Bai Shaoqiu didn't think about what to do at this time.

What he was thinking about was...this damn Xingguo!

He has only been here for a short time and doesn't know what this country is like.

Although he had only listened to Qi Shaotong's talk about the current affairs, he was already able to roughly guess what kind of country and what kind of court this was.

He had originally hoped that this would be a prosperous era.

A prosperous era means peace and prosperity for the country and the people, and means that people can live their lives comfortably.

But now it seems that there are so many softies in the court, even the emperor seems to be soft...

His mood suddenly became bad.

If a country's monarch and ministers are all tired of war, dare not fight, and even do not hesitate to cede territory to the enemy country in order to seek temporary peace, such a country must be dark!

It's chaotic!

It's black and white reversed!

It is also extremely dangerous!

This danger refers to the destruction of the country.

Either it will be invaded by foreign forces, or... the building will collapse due to internal conflicts!

There will definitely be war!

If there is war, people will suffer!

The people's poverty has affected my ability to earn a few taels of silver, let alone live a carefree life in the world with the lazy girl.

All this has not happened yet, but Bai Shaoqiu seems to have seen it based on his experience of two lifetimes.

If there really is a chaotic world, poetry and prose will be worthless!

At that time, whoever held the soldiers would have absolute say!

Bai Shaoqiu looked at his silly brother-in-law.

Go to Kyoto to see the emperor and ask for a cancellation of the engagement, and tell Princess Changying that her goal of freedom cannot be changed, but she must tie her brother-in-law Dongfang Meng to herself!

It's not just Dongfang Meng's military force!

What’s more important is the powerful military force held by the Zhenxi Palace!

We must gain the friendship of the Zhenxi Palace.

Give Princess Changying back her freedom. We can no longer be husband and wife, but we can become friends!

No matter how chaotic the world is, if I could live in Xiling City... maybe I could wait for the dawn here.

Waiting for another spring to come!

I don’t know how long this will take.

Only by going to Kyoto next autumn to personally understand the situation facing Xingguo can we get a general idea.

Thinking of this, he suddenly understood.

When he looked at Dongfang Meng again, he found that even when Dongfang Meng wiped his mouth, he was still so beautiful.

"It's fierce,"

"Ok?"

"You are the most handsome man in the world!"

This sudden and blatant compliment left Qi Shaotong confused, but made Dongfang Meng very happy.

His voice was like spring thunder:

"Brother-in-law, you're not bad either!"

“…Same here!”

Bai Shaoqiu looked at Qi Shaotong and said, "Mr. Qi, I appreciate your kindness. I'm too lazy to think about it now. Let's go. After we finish the sixth test and enter Lanting, we can think about it later."

The two of them didn't say anything more for the remaining mile or so.

After all, I have to think of the poem for the sixth test during the remaining time. When I reach the end, the teacher will be watching me, so I have to start writing immediately.

Qi Shaotong was thinking about poetry, while Bai Shaoqiu was thinking about what to do next.

He doesn't care whether the country prospers or perishes, let alone pay attention to it.

His first priority now is to accumulate the first pot of gold——

He originally expected that the girl named Xianxian would share 30% of the profits through the Jubao Money House, but he never expected that his wife, whom he had never met, would actually buy 100,000 taels of silver and win it herself!

What the hell!

Who gave her the courage?

With this one move, she snatched away one million taels of silver!

How much money is left to buy back the money I lost?

How much?

Definitely not much!

If it is divided among three parties, even less will fall into your pocket.

Originally, I could still count on Song Zigui's prize of 10,000 taels of silver... but now that guy hasn't returned to Zhuxi yet!

I looked up at the sky and saw that it was already noon. The Zhuxi Literary Meeting would end at noon.

There are only a few hours left.

Is it possible that Song Zigui is not going to run away?

Bad thoughts arose in Bai Shaoqiu's mind again.

I'm afraid I can't count on this money.

The winner of this literary competition will receive a reward of three thousand taels of silver, but that’s not enough!

"Brother Qi,"

"what?"

"Do you know how much money I'm willing to lose in that gambling game run by Jubao Bank?"

Qi Shao was also happy and said with a smile: "I bet on you to win!"

Bai Shaoqiu immediately felt unwell: "Why did you bet on me to win?"

"Hey, I think you're going to win!"

"Then do you know how many people bet on me to lose?"

"I heard that the amount of money I bet on you to lose is about two million taels."

Two million taels...Excluding the one million taels won by that lunatic Dongfang Changying, there is still one million taels.

The three parties share the money.

You can also get about 300,000 yuan!

Huge sum of money!

Bai Shaoqiu became happy again.

With these 300,000 taels of silver, this first pot of gold is a huge fortune.

But at this moment, Qi Shaotong said again:

"Brother Bai, there are two mysterious figures in Xiling City who are interested in you!"

Bai Shaoqiu's heart skipped a beat, and then he heard Qi Shaotong say:

"I heard someone spent 100,000 taels of silver to bet on you to win, and another person bet on you to win twice in those two days!"

Bai Shaoqiu: "...How much silver did you spend on the two purchases?"

"The first time was ten thousand taels of silver, the second time was even more ruthless!"

Qi Shaotong stretched out his hand and slapped it: "Fifty thousand taels... He bought a total of sixty thousand taels, you win!"

What the hell!

Bai Shaoqiu's eyes widened immediately. Who the hell is this?!

"Brother Bai, in fact, quite a few neighbors in Xiling City have also bought your winnings, but the amount is not large, only about a hundred or so taels of silver."

"After all, this gambling game at Jubao Bank is so bizarre that everyone who bet on you to win thinks there must be something fishy going on."

"Look, I've already bet a thousand taels. If you win, you can get a whopping ten thousand taels!"

"Tomorrow night I'll set up the best feast at Qianweilou, and we won't leave until we're drunk!"

Many residents of Xiling City also bought their own winnings!

Although the single amount is not large, the odds are high!

Bai Shaoqiu felt desperate.

As he looked at the gurgling streams, he felt that the silver he was about to get would also turn into water.

At this moment, he felt that his sadness was like a river flowing backwards.
