Li Mengjiang looked angry in his heart, but he didn't say much.

"Come and join in the fun." Yan Ruyu replied without being salty.

"King Wei is over there," Li Mubai pointed to the other side, a slightly empty position, "Ruyu, let's go over there." ”

"Nope." Yan Ruyu refused: "I'm right here." ”

Li Mubai wanted to persuade again, but was glared at by Ah Da fiercely, so he had to leave in a sneer.

"Linchuan."

Gao Yang didn't know when she came over with a group of palace maids, and at this time she had a smile on her face and seemed to be in a good mood.

"Gao Yang?"

When Linchuan saw his good sister, he pulled Yan Ruyu to greet him, and said with a smile: "Why are you here?" ”

"Fourth brother and Brother Zhou bet, I'll see who will win."

As he spoke, he smiled at Yan Ruyu and said, "Sister Ruyu." ”

Yan Ruyu returned the salute, and the three of them went to the position where Gao Yang had already stood.

After sitting down, Gao Yang said: "There are more than 700 people, and now that no one has arrived, I am afraid that Brother Zhou will not win easily." ”

Yan Ruyu丨's face was strange: "Does Linchuan also think that Jin Yan will win?" ”

Gao Yang smiled slightly, "Comparing bets on everything, this kind of thing, every time Brother Zhou will not be favored, but he will win the final victory every time." ”

"But this time, there are a lot of death row prisoners, and they will be executed when they come back, and if they escape, there may be a chance of survival." Between the sisters, Li Mengjiang said what was in her heart, but she was still not very optimistic.

"That's true," Yan Ruyu sighed: "Even if there are only thirty death row prisoners, it is already great to be able to come back more than twenty-five, but human nature is unpredictable, there are always people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and it is too easy to escape." ”

"Don't say these frustrating words."

Gao Yang smiled: "Everyone is not optimistic, we have to give Brother Zhou a little confidence, right?" ”

Li Mengjiang and Yan Ruyu glanced at each other, with smiles in their eyes.

The two of them are concerned about chaos, and they can't change the result at the moment, so they can only choose to believe Zhou Jinyan.

In Chang'an City, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there is no shortage of idlers.

Especially a few days after the New Year, the sons and ladies of each family are running wherever they are lively.

Everyone wants to see the gambling contract between King Wei and Zhou Jinyan.

Some want to witness miracles, and some want to see Zhou Jinyan's jokes.

After an hour, there were more and more people, relatives of the emperor, ordinary people, and all kinds of people crowded together.

I want to see a rare liveliness.

"There is still an hour, how many people have come?"

"It's all from Chang'an, and a total of fifty-six people came. That's a long way from more than 700 people. ”

"It's over, the pants that the horse is going to lose next week are gone."

Everyone burst into laughter, and there was still an hour, but only more than fifty people came, which gradually shook the confidence of some people who had expected a miracle to happen.

Li Tai, Li Mubai and others sat on one side, surrounded by guards.

Li Tai looked at the fifty or sixty people standing in the open space in the middle, and couldn't help laughing: "It seems that I think too much, I don't have to make a move, Zhou Jinyan will lose steadily." ”

Li Mubai said softly: "Spend money to buy peace of mind, before the last moment, who knows whether you win or lose?" Although King Wei spent a hundred gold, he could make his heart feel at ease, and he didn't think much about it. ”

Li Tai laughed, a hundred taels of gold ingots is indeed not much, as Li Mubai said, it is enough to buy him peace of mind.

He enjoys the feeling of being in control.

Li Taidao: "When we win, the development of Yanhu will be put on the agenda, and I should be in charge at that time, and I am ready to recommend you to be my deputy after the scientific examination." This is a great opportunity. ”

He looked at Li Mubai, "It's just that you have to win this champion." ”

Li Mubai pursed his lips tightly, "Mubai, you must live up to King Wei's high expectations." ”

Li Tai nodded, "The development of Yanhu is just a condition for my eldest brother's birthday, but it can't be counted as my condition, when the time comes, I should still be able to win a condition, what do you say I should want from my father?" ”

Li Mubai was very envious in his heart, but he didn't dare to think about it, paused, and said, "What King Wei needs, maybe he can want." ”

A typical nonsense, but it touched Li Tai's heart.

He was smiling and about to speak, when suddenly his eyes lit up and he said, "Father and eldest brother are here." ”

......

Zhou Jinyan sat on the stone pier in the back garden, his fingers constantly tapping on the tabletop.

The parrot lay lazily on the stone table, with a pair of small eyes, half-squinted and half-open, "Don't knock, let me rest for a while." ”

"I'm in a hurry," Zhou Jinyan said, "I don't know if Brother Xiahou has caught anyone." ”

"Don't worry," the parrot opened his eyes, "such a miraculous thing is out of the horse, and if he can't catch anyone, he will be driven back to the palace." ”

Zhou Jinyan smiled and said: "If I can't catch someone, I won't go, right?" ”

"I'll take care of you."

The parrot moved its wings, twitched its eyes, and exclaimed, "Xiaobai is back." ”

Zhou Jinyan was stunned for a moment, and saw a bird fly over and land on the stone table.

Soon the bird flew away again and entered a nest not far away.

"How?" Zhou Jinyan hurriedly asked.

He was very concerned about the situation on the Suzaku Gate right now.

It's less than an hour away, and I don't know how many people have gone now, and everything that should have arrived has arrived, right?

The parrot got up and said, "Ahem, Daddy, tell me something that will surprise you." ”

"Hurry up." Zhou Jinyan couldn't wait.

"So far, there are one hundred and thirty-two people."

"Three hundred and twenty-one?" Zhou Jinyan's eyes widened, "Did you hear it right?" ”

The parrot rolled his eyes, "It's one hundred and thirty-two, don't you deliberately mishear, there shouldn't be a mistake, Xiaobai came back for a while, there should be two hundred, but it certainly won't exceed three hundred." ”

"it!"

Zhou Jinyan jumped up directly, "I thought it was just one short, but it turned out to be so bad?" Are these people really not going to come back? ”

He regretted a little that he let Xiahou Zixuan take the "radar", so that now he doesn't know how many people rushed to the Suzaku Gate.

"Don't worry, there's still an hour." The old parrot god is here.

"Yes, now it's not about waiting for Xiahou Zixuan to come back, but to see how many people will come back."

"It's all right," said the parrot, "if you don't come back, you'll catch them all for me when the time comes." The crime is increased by one degree, and the death penalty is imposed in full. ”

The more the parrot spoke, the more excited he became, "If you run away with a hundred fugitives, how much time will you catch them all, this is also a very remarkable feat?" ”

Zhou Jinyan whitened his eyes with his eyes, in fact, what the parrot said was right, in terms of benefits and reputation, the former can be regarded as providence, and the people who got the biggest benefits were Li Shimin and the crown prince.

At this time, there will be many prisoners who have not returned, and if he arrests all these people back, he is afraid that there will be many benefits and he will become famous in one fell swoop.
