Outside the city of Chang'an, the branches are green, and the flag is waving in the wind.

The number of the Tibetan envoys reached 1,000 people, and they entered Chang'an City with great momentum, and the movement was not small, attracting countless Chang'an people to watch along the road.

In this Tibetan mission, there were not only the envoy Dadanelles sent by Songtsen Gampo, the lord of Tubo, but also the genius Duochiluo Xiaowangye, who was rare in a hundred years in Tubo, and belonged to the state-to-state exchanges between countries.

Therefore, His Majesty Li Er also attached great importance to it and gave a high-standard reception, not only ordering Li Gang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and the crown prince Zhan Shi, to preside over the affairs, but also asked Ma Yuanju, a member of the Zhongshu House, and Xiao Shen, a member of the Tongshi House, to assist him, and be responsible for all matters of the mission in Chang'an, of course, including the dog fighting competition that is related to the faces of the two countries.

Li Gang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, led officials at all levels of the various departments of the Ministry of Rites, together with Ma Yuanju and Xiao Shen, came to the east gate early to welcome the Tibetan delegation into the city.

About half an hour later, the Tubo delegation of nearly 1,000 people entered the city one by one, and rushed towards the direction of Hongbin Tower under the guidance of Li Gang and others.

Hongbin Building, not just a building, but generally refers to an area, which is specially opened up by the Tang Dynasty court to receive Fanbang envoys or guests, and provide a place to eat and stay.

The Ministry of Rites also has the functions and functions of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, so Hongbin Building is naturally under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites. And Xiao Shen, a general worker, happens to be in charge of Hongbin Building.

On the way to Hongbin Tower, Ma Yuanju and Xiao Shen rode their horses together and followed behind Li Gang, while Li Gang and the Tibetan envoy Dardanelles walked in front, talking and laughing, as if they were talking happily.

Ma Yuanju looked at Dardanelle, a Tibetan envoy in his fifties, wearing the unique costumes of the Tubo people, and his full beard looked extremely rough, but in the conversation with Li Gang, he was not as flying and domineering as he imagined, and was more like a scholar.

Ma Yuanju said secretly, it seems that in recent years, the admiration and popularization of Han culture in Tubo has not been widespread.

However, Ma Yuanju still has a pimple in his heart, from entering the east gate to the present, he is almost at Hongbin Tower, from beginning to end, the genius boy of the Tubo country, the prince of Duochiluo, and the Tubo genius youth league under him, have not even appeared in the ghost.

What the hell is going on?

Could it be that the little prince of Duochiluo and the ten-member group came to Chang'an for exchanges and dog fighting competitions, all of which are non-existent?

But thinking about it, Ma Yuanju feels unreliable, after all, this matter has been spread all over the world, and everyone in both countries knows about it, how can it be a false thing and die halfway?

You know, there are more than a million pairs of eyes staring at this game in Chang'an City now.

With the doubts in his heart, Ma Yuanju walked with Xiao Shen without saying a word all the way, and followed Li Gang silently

After about half a pillar of incense, the Tibetan mission officially settled in Hongbin Building. After preparing to rest for a while, Li Gang would take the Tibetan envoy Dardanelle to meet the Tang Emperor and deliver the credentials of Songtsen Gampo, the head of the Tibetan state.

Inside the imperial city, Jiangxia Palace.

Xiao Ting, the second son of the Xiao family, the leader of the Tai students, hurriedly visited Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia.

Xiao Ting came this time to take the orders of his father and brother, and the Xiao family and Li Daozong's Changle Fang teamed up to open a gambling market this time, so Li Daozong didn't make much trouble for him.

It just so happened that he was discussing the opening with Wang Wuhu Luo Sihai of the Five Lakes Gambling Workshop and the Four Seas Gambling Room, and as soon as he heard about Xiao Ting's visit, he asked the guards to bring him in.

As soon as Xiao Ting entered the hall of Jiangxia Palace, he was also a little surprised to see Wang Wuhu and Luo Sihai on the spot, but he was not surprised soon.

Because he knew that the two of them were the principals of Li Daozong's Changle Fang, he had already heard about it from his father and brother, and he was not surprised.

Li Daozong saw Xiao Ting enter the hall and motioned for him to sit down and ask what was the matter.

Xiao Ting wiped the sweat stains on his forehead with his sleeves, and said hurriedly: "My brother just sent someone to deliver a message, saying that he did not see the prince of Tubo in Hongbin Tower. So my brother wondered if the dog fighting contest of the Tubo people was a nonsense, so he quickly asked me to report it to the king of Jiangxia. ”

"Hahaha......"

Li Daozong waved his hand and shook his head and said with a smile: "Your brother is too worried, although the dog fighting competition is more child's play, but it is also related to the face of the two countries." Moreover, the Tubo people had already spread the word that they wanted to compete with the noble children of Chang'an, how could they say that if they didn't compete, they wouldn't compete? Haha, virtuous nephew, your father Xiao Yu is a calm person, how can your two brothers be so frizzy? ”

Virtuous nephew?

Xiao Ting's face turned green when he heard Li Daozong's name. You must know that Xiao Ting and Xiao Shen are both in their twenties, and their father Xiao Yu is also in his sixties. But although Li Daozong was an official in the same dynasty as his father and had brilliant achievements, he was only in his thirties.

A person in his thirties calls a person in his twenties "virtuous nephew", how awkward Xiao Ting sounds.

But who made the family debut early? At the age of seventeen or eighteen, he was born and died under the command of King Qin, and now he is the dignified King of Jiangxia?

There was no way, Xiao Ting stiffly laughed twice, and said: "What King Jiangxia said is extremely true, our brother is frizzy. ”

As he spoke, he was about to leave, but Li Daozong stopped him again and asked: "By the way, this time our two families have joined forces to open a gambling market, do you know what the situation of betting outside is now?" ”

Xiao Ting scratched his right cheek, shook his head and said: "My father once explained that the opening of the village is presided over by Changle Fang, and our Xiao family only pays money and cannot interfere. Therefore, I have only heard that the Tibetan people win more, and the lower school class wins less. Oh yes, I heard that there was a sum of 200,000 yuan of silver to buy a book class to win, hehe, isn't it too much silver to spend? ”

The implication is that the school class will lose!

Li Daozong listened to Xiao Ting's words, and said in his heart, Xiao Yu, an old thing, can be a man, knowing that this king has never liked others to point fingers, so he simply does not interfere and enjoys it, and the old fox is the old fox.

After appreciating Xiao Yu in his heart, he glanced at Xiao Ting, who was complacent, and couldn't help sighing, it's a pity that he gave birth to such a straw bale son, who in the officialdom doesn't know that the 200,000 pieces of silver were specially allocated by the imperial court to cheer up the school class? This stupid bird, alas......

However, Li Daozong was disdainful in his heart, but he still had a smile on his face, after all, Xiao Ting was right, this is to send silver to this king to spend.

And not only did it send 200,000 pieces, but also ......

Then he smiled and said, "200,000 is only the number eight days ago!" Virtuous nephew, it seems that your news is a little blocked. Just three days ago, someone actually bought 50,000 yuan of books and won the class, hahaha......"

Xiao Ting's eyes widened and he exclaimed, "What? Who is such a stupid hat?"

Li Daozong glanced at Luo Sihai, who was standing next to him.

Luo Sihai replied: "It's the group of gentlemen in the study class." It's what they buy that they win. ”

"Hahaha, these stupid birds, is this the rhythm of death?" When Xiao Ting heard that it was the group of people in the sworn rival book class, he smiled a little unscrupulously, "Don't they know how many catties and taels they have?" Knowing that he would lose, he still bought a large sum, is this to learn from Zhou Gongjin of the Three Kingdoms, and lose his wife and soldiers? ”

Luo Sihai laughed a few times, and added: "Not only that, but one of their students surnamed Guo also took the Haitian Feast Restaurant in the West Market and the ten shops in the East Market as a bet, and bought the book class to win!" ”

"Oh my God, how is that possible? Shopkeeper Luo is talking about Guo Ye's kid? ”

At this moment, Xiao Ting couldn't laugh, but his face was full of shock, and he murmured: "How could he be so generous? Haitian Feast Restaurant was actually opened by him? Grandma's, this kid is hiding deep enough! ”

Li Daozong heard Xiao Ting say this, and couldn't help asking, "Could it be that the virtuous nephew knows this person?" ”

Xiao Ting gritted his teeth and hated: "How can you not know? If it weren't for this bastard surnamed Guo, how could I be so embarrassed in the school class at the beginning? Even if he turned to ashes, I would recognize him. ”

Immediately, he told him about his enmity with Guo Ye and the study class.

After hearing this, Li Daozong not only did not sympathize with Xiao Ting, but secretly despised this wine bag and rice bag, which really ruined the name of his father Xiao Yu.

Soon, he waved his hand and smiled: "That's it, since they are looking for their own death and have sent so much silver to this king, what if this king fulfills them?" Haitian Feast Restaurant, ten shops in the East Market, haha, what an unexpected joy, an unexpected joy! ”

Li Daozong once asked Luo Sihai and Wang Wuhu to estimate that the value of this restaurant and the ten shops in Dongshi can basically be equivalent to the 200,000 yuan of silver that the imperial court bets to buy face.

Isn't that a bonus? Li Daozong is already determined to win.

Xiao Ting put away his resentment, echoed and said with a sneer: "Exactly, we must let these bastards lose all their money to avenge the humiliation at the beginning." ”

"Newspaper—"

A guard shouted outside the hall: "Report to the prince, just now Zheng Laoliu, the general ledger office over there in Changle Fang, sent someone to send a message, saying that another person has bought a book class to win!" ”

"Huh?"

Several people in the hall were shocked by this news, could it be another bag with so much money that there is no place to make it?

Li Daozong asked with a snickering face: "How many bets did you buy?" ”

The guard replied outside, "500,000 guan!! ”

Hiss......

It was actually the sum of the previous two purchases, whether it was Luo Sihai, Wang Wuhu, Xiao Ting, or Jiangxia King Li Daozong, they all took a breath of cold air one after another.

What the hell is this person, what a big spirit!!

Li Daozong regained his composure a little, and asked in a deep voice, "Can you find out who is so heavy-handed?" ”

The guard snorted and continued to reply: "Zheng Lao Liu has already sent someone to check, and the person who bet on the purchase is Miss Yu Nuan Nuan Yu from the Wei Guo Mansion!" ”

"What?"

"Is that her?"

"My God, the fish of the Patriotic Mansion are warm?"

In the hall, the four of them all spoke in surprise, and even Li Daozong, who had just calmed down, muttered again with a disgraced expression:

"How is that possible? How could a demon girl surnamed Yu get involved in this matter? It's incredible, it's weird, it's weird, it's weird......"

After chattering, Li Daozong no longer had the smell of copper just now, on the contrary, he had a little more calmness and calculation on the battlefield in the past. , the home of reading! Unique URL:
