Chapter 029: Two Other Ways to Buy
PS: Happy May Day!
――――――――
The amiable Concubine Mei had a clear attitude towards her son's interaction with Yang Zhi, neither encouraging nor opposing it. In the name of concentrating on preparing for the war, he specially instructed him not to come to the palace to be on duty, which is exactly what it means, and Yang Zhi was happy. Princess Changxiu's arrogance and coldness and undisguised hostility made him feel extremely aggrieved. After thanking him, he was pulled by Zhao Qi to the study of the side hall.
Zhao Qi felt embarrassed in front of Yang Zhi, and complained: "I'm eleven years old, but my mother and fourth sister always treat me as a child!" ”
Yang Zhi smiled: "You are still a child. ”
"Why do you even say that about me?" Zhao Qi muttered with interest: "I know that my mother is for my good, but her worries are purely unnecessary. Being the emperor is simply a drudgery of the number one in the sky, and my father seems to be busy every day, so how tiring it should be! I'm not unusual. The fourth sister is also really, all day long she only says that the children of the heavenly family should share the worries of their father. With her father and three royal brothers here, when will it be her turn to worry? Besides, there are so many civil and military ministers in the court, could it be that Daxia raised them for nothing? There's nothing wrong with me here, so I'm not that stupid! ”
Dare to love this little fart kid knows better than anyone else! His son is the Emperor of Great Xia, and the entire Great Xia Dynasty belongs to his Zhao family, but this kid actually confidently classifies himself as nothing. Yang Zhi usually keeps saying that he has no ambitions, but compared with this little master, that realm is simply too far behind!
Of course, Yang Zhi would not be too entangled with him on these sensitive topics, and asked casually: "Geng Chao did not rely on his father Yu Yin's embroidered pillow, he made great achievements with real swords and guns, and he is also a heroic and upright beautiful man, how can you say that the princess is unwilling to marry him?" ”
Zhao Qi replied lazily: "The fourth sister is angry!" She said that she wanted to marry a rare strange man in the world, to be broad-minded, to have amazing talents, and to be able to make immortal contributions to Great Xia. Where do you say to find someone like this for her? Even in the play, there are few of them! Even if there really is such a person, why do people have to marry you? Is it just because you are the princess of Great Xia? She thinks Geng Chao is tyrannical and murderous, narrow-minded and cold-blooded and greedy for money, and she can't look down on it. ”
"I wanted you to be my brother-in-law, but you weren't human inside and out. You refuse to appreciate it or not, and the fourth sister often uses this as a talk to teach me a lesson, and I am so tired that I am scolded by my father. ”
Yang Zhi agreed with Zhao Qi's words. Princess Changxiu is undoubtedly a psychopathic out-of-print alternative, and according to her mate selection criteria, I am afraid it will be difficult to marry in this life.
Zhao Yan didn't have half a good word about Geng Chao's evaluation, Yang Zhi didn't understand the specific reason, and gave birth to a little sympathy for no reason: Geng Chao joined the army at the age of sixteen and was promoted to the general of the captive general Wei Su with his real skills, if he didn't fight desperately, how could he survive until now? After eight years of fighting against the Turks on the Shuofang front, even the compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva would be sharpened into a murderous executioner. The so-called Ci is not in charge of the army, not to mention the bitter hatred of the Turks, just to stimulate blood and boost morale, and it is not a strange thing to slaughter and plunder the army. Poor Geng Chao!
"Let's stop talking about all this boring stuff." Zhao Qi is a child's heart after all, looking at Yang Zhi's new guard clothes, and he is happy again: "Brother Yang, we can communicate generously in the future, and Geng Chao has done a good thing!" You are the first personal guard under my sect to participate in the selection of the generals of the forbidden army, it doesn't matter if you win or lose, you just can't lose the momentum too coldly. What do you need? A BMW that travels thousands of miles a day? Sharp, shiny armor? A sword that sharpens iron like clay? I'll get you all of that! ”
"It doesn't have to be so grand, right? Little Wangye, the higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment. If you are not good at what you do, no matter how good your skills are, you will be blind. I'm not going to sing, I'm just going to prepare the horse blade myself. ”
"That's right." Zhao Qi thought for a moment, tilted his little head and asked, "If you play against Geng Chao, how sure are you that you can beat him?" Don't be sloppy, I want to hear you tell the truth. ”
Even if you rush to your precious sister, I won't be able to win if I am killed! Yang Zhi asked vigilantly: "Geng Chao has experienced a hundred battles, I don't know anything about his strength, how can I be sure?" Didn't you say it doesn't matter if you win or lose? Why did you suddenly ask about this? ”
Zhao Qi smiled and said, "You don't understand this." Every year, in the selection of generals of the forbidden army, there are people who make bets, and even the father and emperor turn a blind eye. In previous years, I was a lively watcher, but this year, with the participation of my subordinates, of course, I have to raid the house. Don't worry, I won't treat you badly if I win. ”
Except for having no interest in being the emperor, the other little masters are really good at everything. Yang Zhi couldn't help crying and laughing: "How many families do you have?" ”
Zhao Qi said proudly: "It's okay to make up an integer of 100,000 taels in a so-so way." ”
"One hundred thousand taels?! Then you can buy Geng Chao to win! I promise you only make money and don't lose money. ”
Zhao Qi said regretfully: "This year, everyone recommended the emperor's uncle Fu Wang to be the banker, and last night Geng Chao opened the odds of Geng Chao to win your one to twenty." Even if I buy Geng Chaoying, I only have 5,000 taels at most, so what's the point? But if you are sure to defeat Geng Chao, I can win two million taels! However, Geng Chao won the championship last year, and I didn't expect you to win against him. ”
"To most people, you're just a stranger with no name. If it weren't for my father's sake, maybe no one would have noticed your existence at all, let alone offered you odds. Now the question is not whether you can defeat Geng Chao, the problem is that there are two other ways to buy: the odds of buying you immortal are ten to one, and the odds of buying you to quit are reversed, one to ten. ”
Yang Zhi asked puzzledly, "...... Buy me not to die? Buy me all out? ”
Zhao Qi hesitated for a long time before he said, "Well...... Brother Yang, I'll just tell you frankly. That day, you didn't count the galloping horse, and you didn't take me and Feiyang in your eyes at all, and forced me to lose money on the street and give in, I secretly hated you at that time. Later, I pulled Feiyang and took the initiative to make friends with you, in fact...... Didn't have any good intentions. I knew that my father wanted to marry the fourth sister to Geng Chao, and deliberately begged you to be my brother-in-law and spread rumors everywhere, just to provoke Geng Chao to fight with you. I...... I'm just holding back my strength to fix you! And ......, I'd love to see how capable you are. ”
bowed to him solemnly: "In our interactions, you are frank and unrestrained with nothing for me, neither afraid of me because I am the prince, nor deliberately sycophant. Brother Yang, I don't want to lose a friend like you. I'm here to apologize to you, you must forgive me! ”
Zhao Qi looked full of shame, but his eyes that secretly looked at Yang Zhi flashed with an imperceptible sly light.
Yang Zhi watched coldly, and couldn't help but have a familiar thought: big people are usually excellent actors. A child who is only eleven years old has such a deep scheming! If he is the age of his three elder brothers, how far worse can he be than them?
This kid's words are true or false, and he will never be so contrived for no reason. If you don't have more eyes when dealing with him in the future, I'm afraid that I will be sold by him and help him count the money. Yang Zhi grabbed him and said, "Little prince, you don't have to blame yourself for the matter at this point, I dare not accept it." ”
Zhao Qi exaggerated joy: "I knew you would definitely forgive me, right?" ”
What can I do with you if I don't forgive? Can I beat you up or kill you altogether? Yang Zhi said quietly: "You say yes, that's it." Let's talk about it first, what does it mean to buy me not to die and get out of the way? ”
