Chapter 216: Suzaku Gate Competition
"You...?"
Li Mengjiang's eyes were hot, and he stepped forward and pulled her arm and said, "You are all good, my husband didn't hurt you in vain." But listen to me and go back, okay? ”
"My husband will be fine, but you may be fine if you go like this, and my husband was put on death row because he talked back to my father, and it has little to do with you."
"That's okay too." The two still insisted.
Li Mengjiang was a little incomprehensible, obviously he had nothing to do with them, and when he encountered these things, he should take the initiative to avoid them, why did he take them all on himself?
No, she could only be patient and explain it well before she told the two of them back.
"Hey, what a headache."
In the room, Li Mengjiang stroked his forehead, full of irritability.
"Princess, aren't they going to go?"
"That is, I promised in my mouth, if my husband doesn't come back for a few days, who knows what will happen to them."
After a pause, she added: "I now understand why my husband loves them so much, they are all people who know how to be grateful, which is good." ”
Today's incident made Li Mengjiang more determined to be good to a few people.
"Princess, Qiu Rui asks to see you." At this time, a maid outside the door whispered.
"Let her in."
Qiu Rui put her hands on her chest, bowed, and said softly: "Princess, there are rumors about something outside, and the maid doesn't know whether to say it or not." ”
"What?" Li Mengjiang had a bad premonition in his heart.
"There was news from Li Junxian's side, saying that the horse had a gambling contract with him, and it was three days later."
At that moment, Qiu Rui completely told Zhou Jinyan and Li Junxian's gambling contract.
"What kind of gamble is this? Can he still get face? When he heard this, he was very dissatisfied, "The colt is in the cell now, how can I bet with him?" ”
Qiu Rui shook her head, "It is rumored that this is the case outside, and it is also said that Li Junxian is preparing over there, but I am afraid that even if Lang Jun does not come back, they want to do it as scheduled." ”
"Dead old thief."
Li Mengjiang scolded secretly in his heart, he knew that this matter should be related to Li Bi.
"The bet is, if you lose, let the other party put forward conditions?"
"Exactly."
"Competition, arrows, and horse speed," Li Mengjiang frowned and said: "Except for Xingji Yueji, who has martial arts in our house, the other two things, how can we compare with him as a general?" ”
Qiu Rui bowed her head and was silent.
"No matter, since it is promised by the husband, then it must be compared," Li Mengjiang got up slowly, "Gather all the subordinates in the house, and say that I want to admonish." ”
The Zhou Mansion was quickly operational, and Li Mengjiang brought a lot of maids and guards from the palace.
There are many skilled bow horses.
But the problem is that the opponent is Li Junxian's men.
Naturally, they don't have enough to see.
Looking at the black oppressive head, Li Mengjiang first asked Qiu Rui to tell what was going on outside, and then said: "It's a difficult time now, don't worry too much, my husband will definitely return safely, what we have to do is to make less trouble and win this competition." ”
Xiahou Zixuan stood up and said, "I'm good at archery and horseback riding, you can let me go." ”
Li Mengjiang smiled and said: "Xiahou's martial arts are also first-class, why don't you talk about martial arts?" ”
Xiahou Zixuan scratched his head, "There are at least four or five people in the mansion who are more powerful in martial arts than me, so I won't participate, archery and horseback, I have a little confidence." ”
"You can let me do the jousting."
Tsukihime came out of the crowd with a calm face.
Li Mengjiang knew that Yueji and Xingji were the top kung fu in the house.
But she married into the Zhou Mansion and brought a lot of guards from the palace, and naturally there were also guards with strong martial arts.
"That's it, those who think they are good at these things will go to the back garden, and I will assess them one by one, and then there will be winners to compete."
Naturally, everyone had no opinions, and they were competing all morning.
In the end, the results were not unexpected.
The highest martial arts is still Tsukihime, and the star Ji is almost the same.
The rest is obviously not enough to see.
As for archery, Xiahou Zixuan won the first place, but it can only be said that it is not satisfactory.
If you are sued, it will be difficult to explain.
I can't tell the height, everyone is about the same.
But this also shows that there is no one who is particularly outstanding.
"Princess."
Gao Jianping, the deputy housekeeper of the house, said in a low voice: "In our state, I'm afraid that it will not be General Li's opponent." ”
Li Mengjiang rubbed his temples and glanced at him, "Then what do you say?" ”
Gao Jianping did not answer positively, but analyzed: "In terms of martial arts, Xingji and Yueji surprised me, they are very high. But than archery, and faster than horses...... Even if we win the contest and General Li wins the other two, we will still lose. ”
Li Mengjiang had a headache and said: "I naturally know, even Yueji is not the same, how many people does Li Junxian know?" A few of our men come out at random, enough for us to drink a pot, and we're just a few people. ”
Gao Jianping suggested in a low voice: "Maybe you can find General Zhou's old acquaintance, doesn't General Zhou know a lot of people?" ”
"Well, I don't know who has a good relationship with my father." Li Mengjiang was a little dazed.
"Maybe Fauber knows."
"Quick," Li Mengjiang said hurriedly, "Go and call Fu Bo." ”
Fu Bo has aged a lot in the past two days, and when he heard Li Mengjiang say, he hurriedly said: "This matter must not be done." ”
"Why?"
"Ah Lang said that no matter what happens, without his order, you can't use his favor to ask others for help."
"What is this rule?" Li Mengjiang endured his displeasure, "The horse is on death row, he is not here, can't he go to others for help?" ”
Fauber shook his head, "It's better not to." In fact, there is no other way to do this. ”
"What's the solution?"
Li Mengjiang was annoyed in her heart, but she also knew Zhou Shaofan's intentions, but she couldn't help but be angry.
"We can post notices and recruit people with heavy money."
Gao Jianping's eyes lit up, and he stroked his palm and said: "Fu Bo is smart, this matter is promising." ”
Zhou Jinyan is still on death row, and another major event related to him in Chang'an has also slowly kicked off.
Suzaku Gate Competition.
A competition about the faces of the Zhou family and the Li family.
This competition was helpless in the Zhou family, and when a notice was posted and a lot of money was spent looking for a master, the atmosphere was pushed to the peak.
For a while, Li Junxian was scolded in Chang'an.
Most of the ordinary surnames think that Li Junxian has no chivalrous style and no general's belly, and the Zhou Mansion horse was put on death row, and he actually let the competition continue.
But this is also the view of the low-level surnames, and the upper-class nobles of Chang'an are another view.
Or rather, it's more about watching a good show.
For example, many people who have been offended by Zhou Jinyan before are even more willing to see jokes.
This competition, driven by well-intentioned people, has become a major event in Chang'an.
In the past three days, there were people talking about this matter everywhere in the tavern tea shop and the long street in the square. Take a look at the latest chapter of "Mixed in the Tang Dynasty to be a Horse Claw Book House" to read for free for the first time.
