Chapter 070: Two bets Betting on horses
Taking back Zhao Hu's remains, Zhao Xing tearfully ordered Han Ce to bury him and sympathize with his family, which was to be loyal to himself and sacrifice for his own face, and he must not be treated badly.
At this time, Xu Jie arrived with ten war horses and riders. Zhao Xing looked at Gongzi Zhong coldly: "Second Zhao, the first step to send you to hell has begun." ”
In order to reduce the weight of the war horse, Zhao Xing's ten subordinates did not wear armor, but the lower body and the body of the war horse were surrounded by green curtains, and they didn't know what to do. Immediately knights, each with a shield and a stick. The hand can't control the reins, but they sit firmly on the horses one by one, so that those who know how to admire them immediately, these are all masters who beat Xiao Chang on horseback.
But unfortunately, everyone can also see that although Zhao Xing's ten war horses are also carefully selected, they cannot be compared with the ten war horses sent by Gongzi Zhong. In this way, it may be that Zhao Xing is weak-hearted, so he used a cloth curtain to surround the war horse, so as not to show timidity.
The ten war horses sent by Gongzi Zhong are really the BMW that is difficult to find in the world of this Zhao country. All of them are fat and strong, with strong muscles and bones, and uniform coat color and brilliant accessories. The knights on the horses were even more tall and mighty, although they also did not wear armor in order to lighten the weight of the horses, and deliberately bare their chests and backs, showing everyone their body muscles like steel pouring. Holding the reins in one hand and a big wooden stick in the other, his legs tightly clamped the belly of the war horse, looking so strong and powerful.
This comparison, the judgment is high, and the ending is won or lost, there is no suspense.
The two bet against each other, and the others bet one after another. Who everyone bets on, the winner will also have quite a rich return, covering up the inside story, interfering with everyone's judgment, and expecting everyone to bet more on themselves, which is also human nature, although this seems a little unkind.
However, this is an obvious attempt to cover up, which can only be counterproductive. Therefore, at the beginning, there were still bets on Zhao Xing, and they also turned to bet on Gongzi Zhong, and finally the odds of betting on Zhao Xing became higher and higher, reaching ten times.
But it's a pity, everyone is not stupid, no matter how high the odds are, judging from the current situation, betting on Zhao Xing is also giving money to the other party. So everyone bet on Gongzizhong, and in the end, there was no bet, and there was no way to continue gambling.
In this situation, even Zhao Yong did not support Zhao Xing, and bet on his uncle to win, which shows that the student is the most unreliable.
However, Liao Chong, the all-weather partner, and several other members of the murderous five, Fei Yi, Le Chi, and Zhao Xing's cluster of people out of face, each bet twenty catties of gold on Zhao Xing.
Cong Sheng's deliberately embarrassing explanation: "I have a small family, so I can only have so much." "That's pretty obvious – sponsor you.
Everyone looks at history, in this era, the reward of the throne is hundreds of thousands of catties, or even tens of thousands of catties of gold, and gold is everywhere at that time.
In fact, at that time, copper and gold were commonly referred to as gold, and they were almost yellow anyway.
But if you look closely at the history books, some are rewarded with tens of thousands of catties of gold, which is brass. You can take it back and mint coins, ritual vessels. But there are also records that the reward for gold, this is real gold, as long as the gold is indicated, there are not so many, dozens of catties and hundreds of catties are good.
Fei Yi and the others took out twenty catties at once, which was gold, and it was enough to give Zhao Xing face.
Zhao Xing watched the whole city bet on each other to win, and his heart was extremely happy: "Bet, bet on Zhao Lao Er to win, the more the better, I bet on all the family property, when the time comes, I can't win you bastards who forced my favorite generals to death." ”
Then he said to Fei Yi and the others with bad intentions: "Actually, you don't have to take care of my face, it's not easy for you to do it one by one, let's invest in each other, it's good to make some extra money." ”
What he means is, you throw in me, and when the time comes, I win, and I will score you. And if you throw on the other side, I can win a little more. Although you are only eighty pounds of gold, the grasshopper legs are also meat. Eighty pounds is eighty pounds.
Everyone was embarrassed, thinking that Zhao Xing blamed everyone for giving a small face. But it's obviously a matter of water, but it's just a show. It's twenty pounds of gold for a game, which is very face-saving, and the weight is very heavy.
As a result, at this time, Lao Zongzheng Shi Ran walked to the betting field and announced loudly to the recorder: "No matter who the rest of the Zhao family bets on, but I, as Zongzheng, bet on Xiao Zhao Xing with 2,000 catties of gold." ”
"Boom-" As soon as this sentence came out, the audience was in an uproar, and all the Zhao clan people beat their chests and feet, scolded, and cried. All blame Zongzheng people for being confused, two thousand catties of gold, this is almost all the inventory of the Zhao clan's public property, obviously watching Zhao Xing will be defeated, and he will throw it in at all costs, isn't this an obvious loser?
But Zongzheng's authoritative position is something that no one dares to provoke, and no one dares to refute his decision, and he can only howl and stomp his feet and curse.
Zhao Xing was also howling, stomping his feet, and cursing: "You old thing, you are too greedy, this time, you will let me lose 20,000 catties of gold, even if the odds are reduced, at least let me lose 10,000 catties of gold, now I really want to go down and strangle this old thing." ”
Gongzi Zhongpi smiled at Zong Zheng and said: "Old man, how do you decide, as a clansman, I don't dare to comment, but it's not good to use public money so indiscriminately." I can explain in advance that if I win this game, I will never return it privately. ”
Zong Zheng squinted his eyes and replied lightly: "The original thing was not in accordance with the rules and reason, why should you be angry with others?" In order to vent personal anger, it is even more undesirable to harm the pillars of the country. But according to the rules, I only manage the clan and do not interfere in national affairs, but my old man still can't look past it. Now that it's a foregone conclusion, why bother? I did this for the sake of Zhao Guo and for your good. If you stop now and don't do the third game, it will be your luck, and it will be Zhao Guo's luck. ”
As soon as the incident was in advance, Gongzi Zhong immediately became angry, and his face was hideous: "Zongzheng, don't say more, this Zhao country, this world, with me Zhao Zhong, there will be no Zhao Xing." You die and I die, and there is no backing. ”
Zong Zheng looked at Gongzi Zhong for a long time, and finally shook his head and sighed: "Heaven is evil, it is still violated; and thou shalt not live. I can't convince the damn ghost. Then he sighed all the way and walked away.
Lao Zongzheng's fate pushed this already luxurious gamble to a climax. This will become the largest and most luxurious gamble of this Zhou Dynasty, which has never been seen before or since, and will therefore go down in history. Lu Guo, some are excited.
The referee stood up and loudly announced the rules of the game: "From here, go around the south city to the east gate of Jingmen, twenty miles along the way, get a small flag certificate at Jingmen, and then go back from the north gate." Twenty miles along the way, there are many people who enter the venue, and the fastest one wins. Along the way, both riders can push each other, but not fatally. ”
When everyone heard this, they applauded, and then they got off the field, ran to their own carriages, climbed into the car and rushed to the line.
The ending is predictable, more exciting along the way, occupy the C position to see the excitement.
