Chapter 155: Fight for the Crown
Although it was a bit lax to openly gamble at the imperial court, Xu Liren was deeply trusted by the current Shengshang, who often indulged his gambling instincts, and now the Shengshang was only lying on the sickbed, not dead, and other officials were not able to blame Xu Liren. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The officials of the Lord and the faction looked at Zhou Xueshu and Fan Ju'an together.
"How is Lord Xu going to gamble?" Zhou Xueshu slowly opened his eyes and asked.
"Take whether Su Yi can win the top spot and get ten chips in a single subject as a bet, and the sixty-six villages where the old man came out of the 'Silk Road' are bets, betting that Su Yi can achieve these two achievements, but is anyone willing to bet with the old man?" Xu Liren glanced at the audience again.
Everyone was shocked, and even Zhou Xueshu and Fan Ju'an looked solemn.
There are many silkworm farming and silk spinning workshop villages on the Silk Road, and each village can provide huge benefits, but this world is full of wars and barbarian raging, and the main and faction cannot compete with the main battle faction here; except for some villages occupied by civil forces, the main and the faction only occupy more than 20 villages, but the main war faction occupies more than 100 workshop villages, and many of them are large villages, and the population is almost comparable to a county town.
It is precisely because of the huge benefits of the Silk Road that the main war faction can recruit wise men and maintain good operations, if it cedes two-thirds, the logistics and economy of the main war faction will inevitably suffer a fatal blow, and it will never be able to recover from it, and never again want to share with the main peace faction.
In other words, Xu Liren is gambling with his life!
These villages are not Xu Liren's private property, but the common industry of the main battle faction, and all the main battle factions have a worried face, muttering: Xu Liren believes in Su Mitian like this?
But the unity of the main battle faction is unimaginable, except for a few people who are dissatisfied, the vast majority of people choose to obey Xu Liren's decision, they all know that this Lord Shang Shuling must have put forward this gamble after careful consideration.
On the contrary, the Lord and the faction hesitated, and in the face of such a big cake, none of them dared to stretch out their mouths to bite it.
Xu Liren made such a heavy bet, that is to say, their lord and faction must also bet on the corresponding value.
Zhou Xueshu's face was still unwavering, and it seemed that even the collapse of the sky could not shake his mind.
"Lord Xu is really proud, don't you know, if you really bet on whether Su Yi can win the top spot and ten chips, your chances of winning are very small?" Zhou Xueshu said.
For the old man, any gamble is just a five-five opening of losses and wins, after all, there is no absolute in everything. Xu Liren smiled freely, and the prime minister's mind was revealed.
"There is nothing more important than this. ”
Zhou Xueshu said something completely unrelated to the topic, and only a few people understood, which was ridiculing Xu Liren for trusting Su Yi too much.
"Gossip aside, gambling or gambling, if you don't gamble, then don't take the opportunity to suppress the reward for Su Yi, bite the head and the ten chips like this, do you have a toothache?" Xu Liren restrained his smile, his eyes were like a sword, and he looked like he would tear his face at any time.
The officials of the main battle faction nodded, and they all realized that this was Xu Liren's method of avoiding the real and attacking the false, and using the absurd gambling game to ensure Su Yi's reward, but the price was too great.
The officials of the Lord and the faction looked at each other, even Fan Ju'an frowned slightly, no one dared to take it easily.
"I will go out of the one hundred and thirty-two peaks in the 'other mountains' and make a bet with you. Zhou Xueshu said slowly.
All the officials present looked shocked.
Like the Silk Road and the Beacon Tower, "Other Mountains" belong to a kind of big world, and they belong to the borderless land like the Bingfeng Continent.
He Mountain was first discovered by the barbarians, but because there was no flat land in this world, it was difficult for the barbarians to gain a foothold, and because Liao was uninhabited and had no value to conquer, they were quickly abandoned, but the Terrans found its value: it was rich in a stone called "Heshan Stone", which was an excellent material for the city wall.
"Book of Songs" has a cloud: "the stone of other mountains, can attack jade", the characteristics of his mountain stone is to carve the wildness of the creature, and also has the effect of calming anger, the human race with other mountain stone jewelry, can be more easily kept calm, but the barbarians are afraid to avoid it, after all, their anger is the source of strength, if it is calmed by other mountains and stones, it will be the same as the morale of the human race, will immediately lose combat effectiveness.
Therefore, the 10,000-mile defense line of the beacon tower, as well as many cities on the border of the Bingfeng Continent, used other mountain stones to build city walls, and the effect was very significant: after approaching the other mountain stone city walls, barbarians below a certain level would immediately lose their combat effectiveness, and high-level barbarians would also be affected to some extent.
He Mountain has been painstakingly managed by the Lord and the officials for generations, and it seems to have become their back garden, with more than 200 peaks in it.
However, many people understand that the Lord's and faction's heritage is more abundant, and it is not like the main battle faction to fight with the barbarians when they have a little family background, so although most of the value of other mountains is heavy, the Lord's and Faction's faction is not unaffordable.
However, this is an unavoidable opportunity for the main battle faction!
If you can pocket most of the other mountains, the main battle faction can recover some vitality to say the least, and compete for the balance of power with the main peace faction.
This time, the previous officials who were slightly dissatisfied with the gambling game also showed a smile from Qiji.
Most of the lords and faction officials had their faces like bitter melons, they were more or less involved in other interests, and now they felt distressed as if they had been cut off a piece of meat.
The gambling game was established, Zhou Xueshu and Xu Liren glanced at each other, and they raised indescribable smiles.
"Crazy, all crazy. Fan Ju'an, the servant of the door, shook his head slightly, and muttered in his heart.
......
After the dispersal of the dynasty, the shocking gambling game in the court immediately spread all over Jiangnan.
Many good deeds revolved around whether Su Yi could win the top spot and the top ten in a single subject, and launched bets of varying degrees to a greater or lesser extent, and for a while, the grand occasion was unprecedented, and the gambling style was rampant.
All this did not reach Su Yi's ears for the time being, and he got up at about seven o'clock in the morning, and after washing, he asked Ji An to take him to the academy.
At the door of the county college, the students came and went, and when they saw Su Yi, they all bowed their hands to greet her, and Su Yi also returned the salute one by one.
It's just that as soon as he stepped into the courtyard gate, a crazy roar immediately exploded in Su Yi's ears.
"Ahhh
Xiang Cheng rampaged between the rockeries, like a self-moving cicada singing bead, at this moment he was wearing a cloak, his expression was sluggish, a dark circle hung on his face, and his clothes were still stained with a little morning dew.
Su Yi muttered in her heart, did this guy stay in the martial arts school to think about the eternal absolute law, and then stay like this all night?
When Xiang Cheng caught someone, he asked "what's right", everyone was afraid to avoid it, and Su Yi hurriedly took a detour, but was still discovered by Xiang Cheng.
"Su Yi, don't be complacent! When we get the couplet out, you must return the "Song of the Falling"!" Xiang Cheng yelled hysterically.
"Ahem, I'm not proud, it's just that Brother Xiang, you're too obsessed, don't go crazy. Su Yi shrugged.
Xiang Cheng's eyes regained some calm.
"Hmph, I don't need you to say it. Xiang Cheng brushed his sleeves and left.
Seeing the conversation between the two, some students looked curious, and a few people in the know explained it to them, which made them suddenly realize.
Xiang Cheng, this is stumped by Su Yi.
It's just that when they tried to make the upper link of Su Yi's right, no matter how hard they thought about it, they couldn't find the corresponding format of the lower link, and they admired Su Yi's talent even more.
Today is a double-shot course, Su Yi went out without an endorsement box, and walked straight to the martial arts school.
Mr. Archery, who was in charge of the inner house, had already arrived at the martial arts school, directing several errand officers to place arrow targets, while a cadre of students were waiting for the class to start in the stands, talking and laughing.
The project I learned today is foot shooting, as the name suggests, it is shooting while walking, so there are many differences in the rules of flat shooting.
Flat shooting requires a distance of 120 paces and nine shots and seven shots to get ten chips, but foot shooting only needs to be at a distance of 60 steps and four shots to get ten chips.
In the center of the martial arts field, there are several square fields, each of which is divided into ninety-nine eighty-one footholds.
These footings are only two feet long and wide, which will be large enough for one person to stand, and when the candidate shoots an arrow, the footing under his feet will turn red irregularly, and he or she will make a mistake if he or she steps on the red footing, or when he steps out of the field.
If you make three mistakes, you will immediately be judged to be unqualified in the foot shooting event.
The process of changing the foothold from white to red is only one breath, and when you find the precursor of turning red, you must immediately move your steps, and while concentrating on aiming, you must pay attention to your step, which is more difficult.
What's even more jaw-dropping is that the frequency of the foothold turning red will gradually increase over time, and after 100 breaths, the whole field will turn red, and there will be nowhere to stand, and it will be eliminated immediately.
Therefore, quick solutions are the key to qualification.
Although she summed up a lot of experience, Su Yi still suffered a lot in the first few rounds of test firing.
Although he had learned foot shooting before, the county town did not have such professional equipment at all, and the foothold under his feet was still his first contact, and he looked embarrassed.
However, Su Yi already had a divine iron bow, and he was able to practice foot archery in the training ground in his spare time, and he also received the guidance of Mr. Archery, and his progress was very fast.
Seeing Su Yi gradually becoming more and more mature, many people nodded again and again, thinking that Su Yi would be proficient in the infantry shooting project before the hospital examination.
The class ended quickly, Su Yi only felt sore, and while moving her muscles and bones, she went to the dining house with her classmates from Jianmei Zhai.
More than 100 people had gathered in the dining house, and there was a steady stream of people coming.
As soon as Su Yi walked in the door, she immediately attracted everyone's attention, and everyone whispered, Su Yi walked all the way, and the words she heard the most were "Su Mitian" and "Leader".
"What's going on?" Su Yi was confused.
"Sit down. Ning Caiquan's face was a little strange.
Su Yi nodded and sat down with her classmates.
There was a slightly different meal from yesterday in front of her, and before Su Yi could pick up the chopsticks, someone at the table next to her shouted loudly.
"Su Mitian, we are all betting on whether you can win the first place in the trial, can you give a good word, do you have the confidence to compete for the first place?"
