Chapter 147: Keju Competition

While a few people were talking, another group of people crowded over.

"Oh, this year's Xiao Yuanwang is the favorite to win the championship again!"

"Yes, if you want to say that this winning rate I also think that Xiao Yuanwang is the highest, but you see that the odds are almost 1 to 1, even if you bet on it, it won't make any money."

"Yes, yes, but if you bet on something else, it won't mean that you're in the water." Everyone, you and I talked word by word.

"Huh?" Zhao Zhen couldn't help but tilt his head when he heard this, "General Cao, Master Li?" Li Ce said in surprise that the people who were talking just now were actually a few adults in the court.

Cao Wei was taken aback, there were so many people here, they didn't notice that His Majesty was actually here, and all the adults were just about to give a salute, Zhao Zhen waved his hand and said, "How many adults also bet?" Which Keju team are you optimistic about? ”

Cao Wei's old face turned red, and he hurriedly explained: "The old ministers are just trying to have a good time, and betting is just betting on wine money." Zhao Zhen smiled and didn't care.

Li Ce looked at Cao Wei and the others, and knew that the old guy was not telling the truth, but since he was caught, he had to let them have some blood.

"Which one is General Cao going to bet?" Li Ce asked with a grin, last time this old guy tricked himself.

Cao Wei glared at him secretly, and when he saw that Zhao Zhen was also waiting to listen, he had to say haha, "This...... There is His Majesty's Keju team, so naturally it is His Majesty's, Lord Li, don't you say? Cao Wei asked, rubbing his beard.

Master Li smiled embarrassedly and hurriedly said: "This is natural, Your Majesty's team is brave and brave, I am extremely optimistic." ”

Zhao Zhen smiled and didn't speak, he knew in his heart that Li Fenming said this because of his face, and he couldn't take it seriously.

Li Ce laughed and said, "Lord Li really has a good eye, so how much is the Lord going to bet?" ”

Li Yi was stunned and was a little speechless. Zhao Qin'er looked at Li's embarrassed appearance, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile, this Li Ce is just beating snakes and sticks like this, and only he can ask if people can't get off the stage.

Everyone didn't know that everyone was talking politely, everyone didn't break it, only Li Ce looked stunned and couldn't react, and I don't know if he really didn't know, or if he was pretending to be stupid.

"Master Cao, how much did you just say you want to bet?" Li held back for a long time, but such a sentence came out.

Cao Wei was snickering on the side, but the smile on his face froze when he heard this......

Zhao Qin'er finally couldn't help laughing, Cao Wei coughed dryly, glared at Li angrily and said slowly: "The old man only brought ten taels of silver when he went out today, well, it's all on the bet." After speaking, he pretended to be generous.

Li secretly admired Cao Wei's quick and wise mind, and he learned from the gourd and said: "I brought twenty taels, and I also bet them all!" Cao Wei and Li Yi expressed their positions, and the next few adults were also busy pretending to be generous and bet all their net worth

Li Ce secretly scolded a group of old foxes, since he wanted to let King Xiaoyuan break the fortune, he had to instigate everyone to bet hard, he grinned and said to Zhao Zhen: "All the adults are unfortunate to go out today without money, otherwise all the adults will definitely support Your Majesty." ”

After hearing this, all the adults blushed, and they all responded yes

Zhao Qin'er glared at him with disgust, and said in her heart, how can this person be upside down, so he has no position!

"Hey! That uncle, the one who bets! If you don't have any money, can you place a bet and then bring it back? Li Ce suddenly said loudly.

"Yo, of course you can, a few adults are all up to their word, can you still believe the small ones? A few adults can bet on it, and send someone to send it when they go back. Seeing that there was a great customer, the detainer hurriedly replied respectfully.

"Ah, this...... This ......" several adults were embarrassed, and they didn't know what to do for a while. Cao Wei was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and he couldn't wait to go up and beat this kid violently!

Zhao Zhen couldn't help but laugh desperately, he didn't expect Li Ce to dare to set up a trap for a few adults, and what was even funnier was that these old guys who looked like people were actually squeezed by him with his words. Looking at their deflated expressions one by one, and daring to hold back their anger without saying a word, it's really uncomfortable, haha!

Things have come to this point, all the adults are face-saving people, and if they say it, it is not good to break their promises, not to mention that Zhao Zhen is still on the spot, although the boss in his heart is unwilling, he has to endure the pain of "donating".

Out of Cao Wei bet three hundred taels of silver, and the rest of the adults had one hundred taels and some two hundred taels, but the sum of several people was more than a thousand taels. The bet of Zhao Zhen's Keju team, which has only been around for a while, has actually risen to more than 5,000 taels, and has risen to the third place in one fell swoop!

The official was overjoyed, and hurriedly shouted loudly: If you want to bet, hurry up and bet, it will be too late after the game! There was a commotion in the crowd, and they were pointing at the bulletin board one after another.

At this time, a little eunuch in Tsing Yi ran over and said, "Your Majesty, my lords, the opening is about to begin." Zhao Zhen glanced at the leaderboard, smiled, and left with everyone satisfied.

Zhao Qin'er made a grimace at Li Ce, and jumped away with Zhao Zhen.

"Well, it's third, it's not bad, second only to King Xiaoyuan and Ding Wei." Li Ce nodded with satisfaction, and Zhao Ziyu chuckled: "You even coaxed and deceived His Majesty and the adults to place a bet, it was a matter of fighting for a while, but this bet still depends on the final result, and I will see how you explain it to them when the time comes." ”

"Princess Yonggu, I'm sending money to your family, and you're still scaring me like this?" Li Ce said with a smile.

"Hmph, don't be close to this princess, and don't look at your own virtues!" Zhao Ziyu was angry when he saw him looking familiar, he was a princess, who saw him was not respectful, and he was not afraid of this market boy, where was the majesty of his princess?

Li Ce scolded secretly, she is still a princess, she has no tutor at all, and turning her face is faster than turning a book. You still mock me, and when the results come out, there will be a time for you to cry!

After more than half a sentence, Li Ce ignored her anymore, and turned around to leave.

When he came back, he saw Han Song with a bitter face, sighing vigorously, and then seeing that the rest of the people were also standing aside with serious expressions. Li Ce was taken aback, and immediately thought that something must have happened! It's about to start, and there's something going on.

"What's going on?" Li Ce pulled Han Song over and asked in a low voice.

Han Song trembled and took out a piece of paper, only to see what had been written in front of him, Li Ce glared at him, and said hurriedly, what is this?

Han Song looked at him with some guilt and said, look at my luck! Drew to play against Lu Jaeji's Keju team.

It turned out to be for this, Li Ce breathed a sigh of relief, I said what is the big deal, our strength is there, and our ultimate goal is to win the championship! It doesn't matter who he plays against, all the best teams are our opponents in the end! Li Ce deliberately said loudly, he wanted to cheer up the whole team, this Han Song is also an old man, don't you know that you can't disturb the morale of the army and hit morale before the battle?

Everyone swept away their depressed looks, and looked at Li Ce eagerly, Li Ce looked around at everyone, rest assured to play, I will take you to the best restaurant to eat at night!

Li Gongzi is bright! Haha everyone laughed loudly, and the nervous and suppressed emotions just now disappeared in an instant.

Li Ce saw that his morale was available, and he was secretly happy in his heart, and he added, but he was not allowed to drink! When we're out on top, I'll let you drink enough!

Han Song's luck is really not ordinary, he actually won the first game......

A big drum sounded, and the eyes of the audience were suddenly attracted to the center of the field, only to see an old man in the huge juju field leading a group of people to kneel and worship, and also put an incense case, Li Ce was stunned, isn't it? It's just a keju competition, how can you still make this set and make it the same as worshipping the sky...... The ancients liked to put incense tables to worship heaven and earth for all major festivals or activities, in order to seek blessings from heaven.

Then Zhao Zhen began to speak, to the effect that it was a New Year's speech such as the celebration of the prosperous era and the peace of the world, and the people in the field had been waiting anxiously, they began to line up last night, and waited until the hundred officials got off the morning court, looking forward to the start, His Majesty kept talking, and some people began to be restless.

Zhao Zhen smiled helplessly, and then announced the official start of the Keju Competition! The people in the audience cheered and shouted that His Majesty was wise.

Zhao Zhen returned to his seat, but the Queen Mother said with some displeasure, how can she be so impatient? King Xiao Yuan laughed secretly on the side, Zhao Zhen glanced at him, and looked at his gloating appearance, he knew that he must have slandered the Queen Mother again! This Zhao Ji is getting more and more presumptuous!

After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she did not blame him further, but set her eyes on the field, where Li Ce and Lu Yijian's Keju team had already entered the field, and the people in the field cheered.

At this time, the Keju competition was already quite formal, and the double release was divided into red and blue clothes to make it easier to distinguish, and Li Cefang was wearing red clothes.

Xiaoyuan Wang Zhao Ji explained on the side, Queen Mother, this first battle is the juju team of the governor Lu and the imperial brother. After he finished speaking, he glanced at Zhao Zhen proudly, his eyes full of banter.

The Queen Mother sighed, turned her head and asked, does Zhen'er have a chance of winning?

Zhao Zhen hurriedly smiled and said, Queen Mother, the strength of Lu Zaizhi's team should not be underestimated, and the child remembers that he had to pass the fourth place last year.

The Empress Dowager Liu E nodded, and Zhao Ji said, Brother Huang has to grow up and everyone will destroy his prestige, I think the level of Lord Lu's juju team is also average. After speaking, he glanced at Zhao Zhen provocatively.

Zhao Zhen sneered and said, Zhao Ji, you are too anxious, I haven't finished talking yet, although Lord Lu's juju team is powerful, I am also sure of defeating him!

Zhao Ji laughed when he heard this, Brother Huang seems to be determined to win this year, this competition is about to start, what the result is, we might as well wait and see.

Zhao Zhen turned his head, he stared at the two teams in the field, and said in his heart, Li Ce, you must not disappoint me! He was subconsciously looking for Li Ce, and he was shocked! What about Li Ce? Where's this kid? Two rows of players in the field have already stood up, but he is nowhere to be seen, where did he run at this critical time? Zhao Zhen panicked, couldn't help getting up and looking, he searched left and right but still didn't see Li Ce's figure, and he couldn't help but be even more anxious in his heart.

Zhao Qin'er saw his anxious look, and quietly came to his side and asked, "Brother Huang, what are you doing?"

Zhao Zhen didn't care about talking to her, and while continuing to search, he didn't look back, where is Li Ce, this kid? When Zhao Qin'er heard him say this, she couldn't help but look at it, and she really didn't see Li Ce!

Zhao Qin'er was so angry that she stomped her feet, this person is always in shape, and he is still running around at this time, what a mistake!

Zhao Zhen frowned and said, Li Ce is a little casual, but he is not a person who doesn't know the importance of it, you go and look for him to see what he is doing. Zhao Zhen hurriedly ordered.

Zhao Qin'er saw Zhao Zhen's anxious appearance, thinking of the silver that everyone had just put in, and said with hatred in her heart, you are dead Li Ce, let me find you later, see that I don't pick your skin!
