Chapter 143: The Duel Between the Mule and the Maxima
Xiang Jie and Tang Sai'er's gambling fight soon spread throughout the capital, and the chips of this gambling fight are also very large, that is, Wuling Pass, the Tang people are heroic and unrestrained, and there are different opinions on this matter, some people think that the court is so child's play, it will hurt the hearts of the front-line soldiers, and some people feel that the court has no choice but to compete with Nanchu.
Especially in the Beijing army, the fluctuations are even greater, and the Beijing army did not pay attention to the group of shrimp in Nanchu, so the war letters were quickly sent to Li Jun's case.
Li Jun suppressed all the battle requests, and said to Gao Zhe with a smile: "Old general, tell the soldiers that the reason why I have this competition is that I am sure of victory, don't worry, there will be many battles in the future." ”
"Your Majesty, rest assured, the army is a group of cubs, the old ministers will be appeased, mainly because the people's hearts are also a little unstable now, many people think that Your Majesty is no longer capable of starting another war, so they have to take over the challenge of Nanchu, and please pay more attention to Your Majesty."
Li Jun nodded and said: "Thank you for the old general's reminder, I didn't expect this for a while, so I would agree to the gambling fight with the Southern Chu people, otherwise, the old general, when the gambling competition is over, I am going to hold a military parade, on the one hand, to strengthen the military prestige of my Tang Dynasty, and on the other hand, to tell those careerists that my Tang Dynasty is inviolable." ”
"Your Majesty, the old minister will go and prepare now." Gao Zhe said immediately.
After sending Gao Zhe away, Tang Sai'er got out of the screen behind Li Jun, and Li Jun scolded with a smile: "You, you, look at what a mess this is." ”
Tang Sai'er helped Li Jun rub his forehead and said, "Your Majesty, thank you, next time I won't mess around anymore, I was just on a whim at that time, I didn't expect everyone to be so interested in my gambling fight with Xiang Jie." ”
"Isn't that nonsense? You are my woman, this world knows, you are blind when everyone's eyes are blind, I sent my own woman into battle this time, I don't know what everyone thinks in their hearts. Li Jun said very speechlessly.
"Ah, how could they know that the matter between the two of us is so secret?" Tang Sai'er asked in surprise.
Li Jun sneered: "Do you think those officials are really that honest? I guess my every move is under their watch. ”
"Okay, Your Majesty, don't talk about it, your suspicion is committed again?" Tang Sai'er pushed Li Jun and said.
Li Jun immediately raised his hand and surrendered: "Haha, I won't say anything, keep pressing, I feel quite comfortable." ”
The two fought for a while, and Tang Sai'er left the palace......
On July 14th, the sun was shining, and the Zhongnan Mountain outside the city was crowded with people.
Xiang Jie came here early, and arched his hand to the people of Chang'an who came to watch: "Fathers and fellow villagers, please listen to me, today's competition was proposed by your Tang Emperor himself, if you lose, the Tang Dynasty, as the Heavenly Empire, can't rely on the account, please testify for me Nanchu." ”
Xiang Jie was answered with a boo, and then a cold voice came: "Hmph, villain, Sister Tang will not lose to you." It was Li Moyue who came to see the excitement.
Xiang Jie is a hungry ghost, seeing Li Moyue's beauty, he couldn't help but say: "This little girl is very delicate, in the next Xiang Jie, the king of Nanchu Liang, I wonder if the girl is interested in going to Nanchu with this king?" This king promises to let you wear gold and silver in Nanchu, and your life is much better than here. ”
"Presumptuous, dare to be rude to Princess Taiping." Gao Juan, who was by Li Moyue's side, reprimanded.
There are also many people in Chang'an City who know this kind little princess, and they all saw Li Moyue's appearance clearly at this time, and immediately knelt down and said, "The grass people will see Her Royal Highness the princess." ”
Li Moyue said with a smile: "Everyone, please get up." Then he looked at Xiang Jie demonstratively.
Xiang Jie secretly cursed in his heart, and then said with a smile on his face: "The foreign minister doesn't know that the princess is coming, and he is offended, so please forgive the princess." ”
Li Moyue snorted coldly: "It's good to know, since you're here to compete, let's talk less, and I'll show my real skills to see the real chapter later, what kind of man is a nonsense like you?" ”
Everyone immediately applauded Li Moyue's words, and Xiang Jie, who was angry, turned pale.
At this moment, Gongsun Kun accompanied Tang Sai'er over, and everyone immediately got out of the way, Tang Sai'er originally belonged to the kind of heroic girl, and now she is wearing men's clothes, not only men are falling for her, but even many girls are secretly agreeing.
Looking at Tang Sai'er in front of him, Xiang Jie couldn't help muttering in his heart: "This Tang Emperor is really blessed." ”
Gongsun Kun coughed and said, "General Xiang, this is the Tang Sai'er girl who competes with you." ”
Xiang Jie immediately arched his hand to Tang Sai'er and said: "Miss Tang's name, Xiang has heard of it for a long time, and I can see it today, and it really deserves its reputation, I don't know how Miss Tang is going to compete?" ”
Tang Sai'er also arched his hand as a return salute, and then pointed to the road under his feet and said with a smile: "Do you see this mountain road?" Let's try to see who gets to the top of the mountain first, shall we? ”
"What? Mountain Road, Miss Tang is sure she is not teasing Xiang? Xiang Jie asked in disbelief, such a mountain road, what kind of BMW can't withstand it?
Tang Sai'er nodded and said affirmatively: "That's right, this is it, why doesn't General Xiang dare?" If you don't dare, is it too late to admit defeat now? ”
"Haha, ridiculous, it's better than it, don't cry if you lose Miss Tang for a while, by the way, if you want to race a horse, why didn't you see the girl's horse?" Xiang Jie sneered.
Tang Sai'er clapped his hands, and an attendant led a horse over, this horse is smaller than a horse, but bigger than a donkey, and it looks like a horse like a donkey, so that people can't tell whether it's a horse or a donkey, anyway, Xiang Jie is unheard of, unseen.
Don't talk about Xiang Jie, everyone next to him is also full of greetings, this so-called horse is compared with Xiang Jie's thousands of miles next to him, can he win?
At this time, Tang Sai'er explained: "General Xiang, this horse is called Xiao Hei, it is amazing, its mother is His Majesty's mount, and its father is my family's donkey......"
Before Tang Sai'er finished speaking, everyone next to him laughed, and Xiang Jie said angrily: "Enough, you compare a mongrel with me?" It's really too deceitful, I don't want to talk nonsense with you, let's go, let's try it directly. ”
Tang Sai'er nodded and said, "It's exactly what I want." ”
The two rode horses to the starting point, and as soon as the referee gave the order, Xiang Jie rode away on horseback, while Tang Sai'er followed slowly and leisurely, not like a competition, but more like an outing.
Halfway through the run, Xiang Jie's Maxima horse's hooves were rotten, Maxima was in pain and didn't want to leave, Xiang Jie whipped desperately, and finally Maxima couldn't stand the pain and fell to the ground.
It took him an hour to reach the top of the mountain, and then he led the mule down.
The moment they saw Tang Sai'er's figure, everyone cheered, and Gongsun Kun immediately announced: "Tang Sai'er won this competition."
