Chapter 342: The Colosseum!
The oval-shaped square, crowded with people, bustling, noisy and noisy, is very lively.
on the field. A hedgehog, a gray wolverine are fighting fiercely. They seem to have been hungry for a long time, and they regard each other as prey, attacking with fangs and sharp thorns, and their flesh and blood are flying, and the picture is extremely ferocious.
The nobles who were sitting on the sidelines shouted excitedly, waving the bills in their hands to cheer for the star beasts they bought.
VIP seats in the southeast corner. The group sat upright, including the ancient seal of King Anling, Chen Youbai, the minister of the Ministry of Officials, Lu Houdao, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, and Chen Yousong, the head of the Chen family...... Of course, there is also Chen Bin, the young master of the Chen family. It's just very strange that it is not Gu Xi who sits in the middle of the place, nor the two Chen family, and Chen Bin is standing aside.
A barbarian young man dressed in animal skins sat up and down wantonly, receiving praise from everyone, including Gu Xi.
"Brother Chi, in your opinion...... Who wins and who loses this event? ”
Gu Xi smiled and looked at the barbarian youth sitting beside him. can let him accompany him personally, this origin is obviously not ordinary.
The young lord of the Northern Night Wolf Country, Chi Wu!
The northern frontier of China is the habitat of barbarians, with many tribes and militant and warlike. When it comes to overall strength, it is hardly below the Gu clan. However, because of the internal struggle and endless fighting among the barbarians, it has brought a lot of trouble to the Gu Clan frontier for many years, but it is difficult to become a climate.
Nowadays, the barbarian Night Wolf Department has sprung up, subdued thousands of tribes of all sizes, established the Night Wolf Country, and completely unified the northern frontier.
The soldiers are strong and strong, and the foundation is abundant. These eight words are the most appropriate way to describe the Night Wolf Country.
After the unification of the Northern Territory, the Night Wolf Kingdom deployed millions of soldiers along the frontier, eyeing each other and confronting each other, bringing great pressure to the Gu clan.
Fortunately, on the bright side, the barbarians of Northern Xinjiang are like a sea of stars, subservient to the Gu Dynasty. Therefore, the monarch of Yelang sent a delegation to visit the imperial capital, and by the way, he offered gifts to participate in the birthday banquet of the ancient emperor. His son Chiwu, the young master of the night wolf, served as the leader of the mission, different from Fang Xiaobao, the holy lord of the Star Sea, the night wolf mission came to the imperial capital and received great courtesy.
Win over these barbarians, don't let them contact with Xinghai!
This is an order given by the ancient emperor. As a son, Gu Xi figured out his father's intentions, not only following the instructions, but also his own careful thoughts.
The Night Wolf Mission had arrived in the imperial capital half a month earlier. On behalf of the dynasty, the ancient seal made every effort to make the friendship of the landlords, send beautiful women, give money, and sing and dance every night. His means of attracting contacts are very clever, and it doesn't take much effort to get along with Chi Wu as a brother and brother.
"The hedgehog has a lot of strength and thick skin, and it lacks in attack, and it only knows how to rampage...... The gray wolverine has a cunning personality, sharp minions, and quick and agile movements! ”
The corners of Chi Wu's mouth were filled with a touch of arrogance, pointing to the two star beasts that were desperately fighting on the field, and said in an extremely confident tone: "Therefore, although they are both fourth-level star beasts, the strength of the gray wolverine is half the best, so the final winner must be it!" ”
As he judged, not long after, the hedgehog ran out of brute strength, and the gray wolverine seized the opportunity, bit his throat and throat, and fell to the ground with a miserable howl.
"Admire, admire."
Gu Xi applauded. The remaining ministers of their cronies spoke up one after another. Chi Wu was very happy, took the bill handed by the subordinate standing behind him, and laughed at Chen Yousong, the head of the Chen family, and said, "This young master bet on millions of gold, this time...... I'm afraid your Chen family is going to break the bank! ”
"As long as you're happy, a few million gold dollars doesn't matter!" Chen Yousong was very generous. Even if it hurts a little, in the face of the object that the master wants to woo, he doesn't dare to show half of it.
But Chi Wu, who won the money, didn't seem to buy it, looked at Gu Xi, and said: "Lord Wang, the scale of your imperial capital Colosseum looks quite large, but in terms of the excitement of the show...... Far from needing to go to our Night Wolf Country! ”
Gu Xi let out an 'oh'. Looking back with a smile on his face, he put on a 'I would like to hear more'.
"The battle of star beasts, the stronger the strength, the more exciting!"
The gray wolverine, who was enjoying his prey on the red vulture's finger field, said with disdain: "This kind of low-level star beast fighting, there is not much to see!" ”
"Well, Brother Chi has a point!"
Gu Xi nodded in agreement. At the same time, he looked at the Chen family, and the meaning was obvious, according to the requirements of the distinguished guests, there would be another wonderful event.
"Lord Wang! Young Lord! The subordinates will arrange it! ”
Chen Bin, who was standing behind, nodded his head and bowed, and then prepared to do what his master wanted. Unexpectedly, Chi Wu interrupted.
"You must be rare to see high-level star beasts here, don't force it!"
When Chi Wu said this, he looked at Gu Xi, and said: "Actually, if you want to make the show exciting, it's very simple, put aside the rules of beast and beast fighting, put dozens of people on the field, and fight to the death...... Flesh and blood flying, stumps and broken limbs, this is exciting enough! ”
Gu Xi understood it, thinking that barbarians are barbarians, perverted enough. On the surface, he stroked his hands and praised: "Good idea! ”
"Beasts are high-level star beasts, people must be ordinary people, the more there are, the better...... That kind of bloody slaughter, the prince can imagine it with his eyes closed...... Listen to their dying screams, and the sound of star beasts chewing flesh and bones...... It's just a wonderful piece of music! ”
Chi Wu said as he showed an intoxicated look. Obviously, this kind of evil thing has been done a lot. Everyone next to him, Gu Xi and Chen Yousong, etc., all echoed and praised. Only the Minister of Rites, Lu Houdao, frowned, and a trace of disgust flashed on his old face unconsciously.
It was just a subtle expression, but it didn't escape Chiwu's keen eyes. He immediately looked at Lu Houdao, with a strange expression on his face, "Lord Lu, you seem to be interested in what this young master is talking about...... Some don't think so! ”
Gu Xi immediately turned his head and glanced at Lu Houdao, with obvious intentions, warning this distinguished guest to speak carefully, not to offend himself.
Lu Houdao is an old man, and he does not want to offend any party in the court, and the same is true for private affairs. Although, he didn't have a good impression of this young master of the Night Wolf Country.
"The young master is serious!"
But seeing Lu Houdao coughed dryly, he said unhurriedly: "The battle between man and beast, there is no need to know the result at the beginning, even if it is wonderful in the eyes of the old man, it is limited!" ”
There is some truth to that. Although Chi Wu was arrogant, in front of everyone present, he still seemed very generous, stretched out his hand, and motioned for Lu Houdao to continue.
"Beast to beast! To borrow a sentence from the young master just now, the battle of star beasts, the stronger the strength, the more exciting! Lu Houdao stroked his chin and beard, and praised it without a trace.
Chi Wu half-squinted his eyes and replied: "Well, Lord Lu's words make sense, but this young master has already said just now, there are few high-level star beasts in your Huaxia territory!" ”
Since Lu Houdao dared to speak, of course he had already made a statement.
"The young master's words are wrong, I have a lot of land in China, how can I lack high-level star beasts...... Not to mention, now in my imperial capital city, there is a cavalry team composed entirely of high-level star beasts! ”
Lu Houdao said eloquently, while secretly confessing in his heart, please forgive Weihai Gong, it's not that the old man betrayed you, it's really that this Northern Barbarian is too arrogant!
The Weihai Gong in this old man's mouth is naturally Fang Xiaobao. See with your own eyes this Weihai Gong's great battle, the brave and fierce Jinqi cavalry. At this moment, Lu Houdao directly moved out to attack the arrogance of Chi Wu, the young master of the night wolf.
"You're talking about ......"
"Sea of Stars!"
When the red vulture asked curiously. Gu Xi took over the conversation and took advantage of the situation about Xinghai. He didn't blame Lu Houdao for not knowing the general situation, on the contrary, he was very happy to introduce the details to Chiwu. In the words, there is no lack of provocative and derogatory meanings.
The relics of the sea of stars and the night wolf barbarians of the northern Xinjiang are all great troubles of the dynasty. These two forces must not allow collusion, otherwise it will greatly endanger the imperial power of the Gu clan.
Fight thieves with thieves!
This is the balancing strategy pursued by the ancient emperors. Gu Xi went one step further and wanted to provoke a conflict between the Night Wolf Kingdom in Northern Xinjiang and the remnants of the Star Sea, so that the Gu clan could reap the benefits of the fisherman.
Yoro is arrogant. Chiwu, the young master of the night wolf, is even more arrogant and has no eyes to spare. Hearing that Gu Xi praised the strong foundation of Xinghai and the wealth of the world, he felt that his own family was much inferior, and he immediately became angry.
"It's just a group of overseas barbarians, this young master doesn't believe that they can have such strength!"
Chi Wu snorted coldly. His face was gloomy. Gu Xi was overjoyed when he saw this, but he said verbally: "In two days, it will be my father's birthday, and the Duke of Weihai, who is sitting in the sea of stars, will also come to the banquet. ”
This King of Anling had bad intentions, and he was already thinking about how to arrange it on his birthday, provoking the two parties to smoothly get on the bar and settle grudges.
However, I didn't expect that Cao Cao had already come.
