Chapter 110: Soldiers Don't Get Tired of Deceit
The horse race between the two, while not lacking in excitement, is at best an appetizer for today's drama. With the sound of a horn, the climax of the horse fighting competition at the Royal Horse Farm began.
Gongs, drums, and firecrackers rang out, and everyone's face was filled with excitement, and everyone cheered for the bet object. Last night, the handicap gambling money of the major counters soared, and the big funds in the end were shot one after another.
The biggest favorite is the snow treading of Linwu Mountain, and the handicap odds are 1 to 2. There is a gimmick behind this handicap, and it is rumored in the world that Motuo Tiange is not out, and no one can beat Linwushan. And five days after the end of the horse fighting competition is the wedding day of Lin Wushan and Bai Yanqiu, Lingwu Hou's housekeeper smashed millions of silver coins in front of everyone to buy his female daughter to win the championship, and the followers are like carp crossing the river. followed by the yellow zebra of the ranger Wen Zhuyan, the handicap odds were one to three, and Xiao Shi no longer hid it, and then smashed millions of silver coins to buy the following grams to counterattack and win the championship. The two companies fought on the handicap, and all kinds of funds competed to participate in the war, and for a time the changes in the handicap of various gambling stalls set off a climax of national gambling among the people of Taikang City.
The imperial merchant Xiao arranged two lines this time, one bright and one dark, the bright line Xiao Ju'an and Wusun Tianma, but they were eliminated by Lin Wushan in the first round; The dark line is the ranger Wen Zhuyan and the yellow zebra, everyone knows that he is a guest of the Xiao family, and he was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. is so carefully arranged, that is, to let the two lines cover each other, which shows that the Xiao family is determined to win the horse king.
On the odds list, the two are followed by Yunlin, Jiang Haoyue and Long Xiangma, and the odds are one to five; followed by the Nine Sisters of Zhefu and Chaoyang Can Golden Horse, the odds are 1 to 8; Finally, there are Guan Mu and Da Li Ma of the General Mansion of the Pillar State, and the odds are 1 to 10.
The draw just showed that Lin Wushan and Wu Hu Treading Snow played against Jiang Haoyue and Long Xiangma, Guan Mu and Da Li Ma played against Zhe Jiumei and Chaoyang Can Golden Horse, and Wen Qiyan and Yellow Zebra had byes. At this time, the bye is equivalent to an extra rest, and can take the opportunity to observe other opponents and prepare for the next game. The results of the lottery were displayed on the spot, and there was King Kang presiding over the supervision, so naturally no one dared to question it.
The handicap went with the market, and the major cabinets in the city immediately raised the water, raising the odds of Wen Zhuyan to 1 to 2.5, which immediately attracted the gambling money to flow to this side. At this time, the gamblers who bet on Wen Zhuyan couldn't help but cheer and celebrate on the racecourse, because they had won 0.5 points after a round of draws.
Cui Hanzhang frowned slightly as he looked at the group of cheering and celebrating gamblers, and said to Bai Yanqiu: "Why is there a grandson like Xiao Jing everywhere." ”
"You should ask the Imperial Merchant Xiao what other business is not to do?" Bai Yanqiu spat out and said hatefully.
"That's right! The three major imperial merchants are the only one of the Xiao family, and half of the financial resources of the inner treasury are contributed by the Xiao family. ”
Cui Hanzhang turned his head and called the chief guard, Qingfeng: "Take my waist card and ask Cui Bo for a treasure note of one million taels of silver, and go to Qingshui Cabinet to bet on buying Wuqi treading snow." ”
"Don't mind! The breeze is back! As a result, I didn't want to be stopped by Bai Yanqiu immediately.
"Why are you stopping me from getting rich?" Cui Hanzhang asked puzzled.
As a result, Bai Yanqiu said with a non-salty and indifferent expression: "I know that you have money, and you can't waste it like this, I have received your heart." Forgot who I told you to bet on? ”
"But what about Linwu Mountain? Wu Hu Treading Snow now has the highest call to win the championship, and his strength on paper is also the strongest. Cui Hanzhang asked with a puzzled expression, and with the friendship between the two of them, they must also bet on Lin Wushan.
Bai Yanqiu firmly pressed his arm, lowered his eyebrows and whispered, "Have you heard the story of Tian Ji's horse racing?" ”
Cui Hanzhang is a smart person, and he instantly understood the mystery in the middle when he heard his words. The allusion of Tian Ji horse racing is from the ancient Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which is about the general Tian Ji who used the tactics of setting up troops in the horse race, and lost a game with his own horse against the enemy's horse, and won back a game with the middle horse against the enemy's horse, and won another game against the enemy's middle horse, and finally won the game with two wins of three games.
It's just that today's horse fighting competition is far more complicated than the situation described in the allusion, and the other party will not be stupid enough to let you arrange it casually. But Bai Yanqiu is a pun, referring not only to the horse fighting competition, but also to the cabinet handicap.
It turned out that at the beginning, he went up to the forest house mountain to crush the opponent's Xiao Ju'an, and when the other party's Shangsi Wen surfaced and was besieged. There are many difficulties in scheduling such a match, and he understands that Bai Yanqiu alone can't do it.
"If it's hot, you'll die, that's the only way to get a casino. If there is anything you want to ask, just ask, whether you want to talk about it or not depends on the mood. "Before many things come out, Bai Yanqiu is inconvenient to disclose.
"I won't ask about other things, and it must not be difficult for you Chili Street, but I will ask one thing, how did you kid get Lin Wushan?" Cui Hanzhang couldn't figure this out even if he wanted to break his head.
Bai Yanqiu held back a smile, stretched it out seriously, and then said slowly: "Between husband and wife, whether it is low or small, strong and arrogant, it is not a big deal, the most taboo is no trust, and in the end, it is to look at each other and dislike each other, and deviate from morality." ”
Cui Hanzhang was dumbfounded by these words, is this still Bai Yanqiu, the prodigal son of a wealthy family he knows? He couldn't help but stepped forward and grabbed Bai Yanqiu's arm in front of him, "Or are you Bai Yanqiu?" Did you take the wrong medicine and change your sex, or was you borrowed to return your soul? ”
The arm hurts, Cui Hanzhang is really starting, Bai Yanqiu hurriedly told the truth, "Okay!" All right! I admit that such a reasonable statement was made by my grandmother and his old man, and I am now learning and selling. ”
"Mrs. Bai is really a wise man in life, your kid is just lucky, and he fell into the nest of blessings." Cui Hanzhang looked relieved, since it was an old lady, it would be too normal.
"So, are you bowing down and begging for a little bit to go through the forest house?"
Bai Yanqiu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't say it so ugly, I came here for discussion, Qin Se and Ming." ”
"Speaking of this, I would like to thank Motuo Tiange, what a proud person my family Wushan is, there is no one else in her eyes except her, since she has temporarily withdrawn from the competition, naturally there is no interest."
"And this matter was also provoked by Xiao Jing's grandson first, he arranged for Wen Zhuyan to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, and pit 10 million taels of silver from our three cabinet shops on the handicap.
Cui Hanzhang was stunned when he heard him say that Xiao Jing bet on Wen Zhuyan to win 10 million taels of silver. Sure enough, if a person is not ruthless and unstable, does he want to incorporate Taikang's several major cabinets, so he is not afraid of supporting himself?
"So nag, someone knocked on the door, you can't sit still!" Bai Yanqiu spread his hands, meaning that he was forced to make a move. Since Xiao Jing is unkind, don't blame him for being unjust.
Bai Yanqiu had some words that were not good for the time being, in fact, what he didn't tell Cui Hanzhang was that the mansions on Chili Street had only received the matter of the three major cabinets being killed last night, and the matter was very important.
The ruthlessness of those old men was that the participants Bai Yanqiu felt shuddered, in order to lure the enemy deeper, they decided to do a full set of plays, always concealed this matter from Zhi Jiumei and Guan Mubai, and went back to give the order to win no matter what. In order to compete for the winning place, the two must let go of their feelings, and it is likely to be a situation of life and death. In the end, whoever wins, it will be a relentless victory, and it will not arouse suspicion. In the next round, no matter who is opposed, there will be no wins or losses, and the natural odds will plummet. When it is poured, it is the conscience of every gambler, the bigger the bet, the heavier the heart demons, heaven and hell are only between a thought, and when the three cabinets on Chili Street are normally harvested with chips.
People are old and refined, and they use the art of war on their children and grandchildren, and they can only say that life is full of battlefields, and they can't relax at all.
The greatest danger to a country or even a nation is never external, but internal corruption, and the reason for this is that it has been peaceful for too long. Lying on the merits of the ancestors can enjoy the glory and wealth, then the descendants naturally have no motivation to strive for the truth, let alone the sense of distress, and even do not know what the danger is?
Born in sorrow and dying in peace, it is really the true word of heaven.
In fact, as for Bai Yanqiu's hint that he bet on the ninth sister, it is also a feeling in the dark.
Sure enough, after the lottery results came out, Bai Yanqiu locked the last bit of unstable information. Even if Jiang Haoyue's dragon elephant horse really has the power of a dragon elephant as the legend, it can't compete with the full force of Lin Wu Mountain and Wu Hu Treading Snow, you must know that Lin Wu Mountain, which has integrated the spirit snake marksmanship, has mastered the domineering power of the python swallowing the sky.
Cui Hanzhang, as an outsider, would never have imagined that there were so many twists and turns, and what he could do at this time was to believe that Bai Yanqiu would bet on the Chaoyang Golden Horse of the Ninth Sister. No matter what the final result is, he doesn't value this money, after all, it is obtained by gambling, and if it is exported on the gambling table, it can only mean that the wealth on paper cannot be retained after all.
However, one thing he is sure of is that sure enough, all the forces in Taikang City were dissatisfied with Xiao Jing's high-profile approach to the city, and even jointly set up a pit to kill him.
An excellent coated minion, can not tolerate the master to suffer the slightest grievance, Xiao Shi in Taikang horses scrambling to bet on Wen Zhuyan's Huang Huma, but the water level of his handicap has been raised again, resulting in an unbalanced trend on the board, after the noon, the odds of the Huang Huma have been on par with the black horse treading snow in Linwu Mountain.
The development of the horse fighting competition is as it was deduced before, and the nine sisters and the Chaoyang Canjin Horse fought for an hour to defeat Guan Mu's big horse. Both sides were not lightly injured, especially when Guan Mu fell to the ground, the first time to protect Da Li Ma was kicked by Chaoyang Canjin Horse and broke his arm, Da Li Ma also took advantage of the chaos to get up and use the horse's head to knock over the nine sisters and fly out a foot away, falling to the ground and bleeding from the corner of his mouth. This tragic situation caused the onlookers to sigh, and the elders of the Zhuguo General's Mansion who looked at the table from a high place were even more pale, and they couldn't look up and see them, why is this? The reputation of the nine sisters who are violent quickly spread throughout Taikang City.
Cui Hanzhang looked at this scene inexplicably and felt a little uncomfortable, looking around the circle full of singing and laughter, desperate fighting, intrigues and tricks, etc., all of which are just chess pieces on the chessboard, in the eyes of chess players, there is nothing that cannot be given up for the overall benefit. This feeling made him very uncomfortable, and he didn't want to be at the mercy of others, so he was the only one who jumped out of the chessboard and played chess.
King Kang, who was sitting in the high stands, and the side princess Motuotiange exchanged heads and ears from time to time, looking at Motuotiange's expression, they seemed to appreciate the battle between the two, and what they said caused King Kang to let out a hearty laugh from time to time. Suddenly, Cui Hanzhang thought that King Kang, who was running this spring outing polo club, would also be involved, otherwise how could he deceive Xiao Jing's essence?
As Bai Yanqiu said, Jiang Haoyue herself is not to be afraid, but the dragon elephant horse is really the biggest unexpected factor. Under the repeated bombardment of the snow and the forest house mountain, it did not fall into the wind. Due to the drag of the owner, the dragon elephant horse turned to passive defense in the later stage, and was able to support it for half an hour, the horse was fierce and brave and aggressive, and finally Jiang Haoyue had the style of a gentleman, and could not bear to sit down and love the horse to be injured, and took the initiative to stop and admit defeat. Although this battle was won unexpectedly, the physical exertion of the black horse treading snow was quite large, and the next game was variable.
