Meng Huan glanced faintly at Xiong Zhen beside him, signaling the latter to calm down.

Compared with Xiong Zhen, who is not deeply involved in the world, Meng Huan has seen many winds and waves, and he can endure what ordinary people can't endure!

I saw Meng Huan smile at Qingji and said, "What King Wu said is extremely true. The alliance between Chu and Wu Zhaoguan is a happy event, and it is indeed not suitable to see blood! ”

"King Wu, why don't I wait to play a game?"

"What kind of game is it?"

"Horse racing."

Racehorse?

Qingji was stunned for a moment.

In this era, people's entertainment programs are not much, and the homes of ordinary people may be made at sunrise and resting at sunrise, where is there leisure to have fun?

Even if it is an aristocrat, the daily entertainment activities are only drinking, horse racing, playing chess, enjoying dance and music, etc., and the fun is strong or not, and the celebration is jealous, anyway, it is just a pastime to pass the time.

This horse race, according to the rules of the Spring and Autumn Period, is often a best-of-three system, the upper horse against the upper horse, the middle horse against the middle horse, and the lower horse against the lower horse.

The horse, that is, the horse, and the upper, middle and lower three grades, is the rank of the horse.

Because the Spring and Autumn Period was prevalent in chariot warfare, there were very few horseback riders, so the horses in the race at this time were carriages, two-horse horses!

Horse racing was especially prevalent among the aristocracy, especially among the nobles of the northern countries.

"Since the country is too gracious, the widow is disrespectful."

Qingji immediately agreed.

Hearing this, the smile on Meng Yingqiao's face became even stronger, as if the conspiracy had succeeded, and said, "Good." However, King Wu, since it is a horse race, it cannot be without bets. ”

"The mourning family is willing to pay a thousand gold as a bet!"

"Shhh

Hearing Meng Huan's bet, Sun Wu, Wu Zixu and others present couldn't help but gasp and feel surprised.

Heroism!

Ostentatious!

What a loser!

Qingji's face moved, and he was very disdainful in his heart, and he was quite speechless while disdainful.

With the strong family foundation of Chu State, it is indeed enough for Meng Huan to squander.

One thousand taels of gold, without blinking an eye, was taken out as a bet on horse racing!

It's not that Qingji can't take out this thousand gold.

However, the foundation of Wu is too thin, and most of the property in the treasury is used for people's livelihood construction, which is really stretched.

If Qingji took out a thousand gold as a bet, no matter whether he won or lost, he would not be criticized by the countrymen.

But Meng Huan has no worries about this at all.

She is not afraid of bites because she has lice, anyway, in the eyes of the vast majority of Chu people, Meng Huan is a demon concubine who brings disaster to the country and the people, a woman like a compliment, why should she embarrass herself and keep that worthless reputation?

"I don't know, what is King Wu's bet?"

Meng Huan looked at Qingji with a smile, full of interest, and looked like she was watching a good show.

Qing Ji was silent.

Meng Huan's move is obviously to make Qingji unable to come to the stage!

At this moment, Shen Zhuliang, a doctor of Yeyi on the side of the Chu State, stood up and said, "The king, Mrs. Tai, according to the opinion of your subordinates, there is no need to embarrass King Wu too much. ”

"The minister heard that Wu was building official roads and bridges on a large scale to open trade routes to the Central Plains. Presumably, at this time, there was not much money left in the treasury of Wu State! ”

was pierced by Shen Zhuliang This layer of fig leaf, including Qingji, Sun Wu, Wu Zixu and others did not look very good.

Shen Zhuliang is clearly humiliating Qingji and humiliating Wu Guo!

Immediately, Shen Zhuliang continued: "In this case, if King Wu has to race horses, my minister has a suggestion. ”

"Oh, I want to hear about it!"

Meng Huan looked at Shen Zhuliang for a long time.

At this time, how could Qingji not see that the two were singing double reeds?

Sing and harmonize!

And it is not difficult for Qingji to guess that Shen Zhuliang's next suggestion must be a bad idea, not to give Qingji a step, but to make him even more embarrassed!

Who would have thought that Shen Zhuliang suddenly pointed the finger at Wu Zixu, who was sitting at the bottom, and sneered: "The Wudu County Commander of Wu State, for the criminal minister of my Chu State, is heinous!" ”

"King Wu might as well bet on the soldiers. If one side of our Chu State loses, the daughter will be offered, and if the side of Erwu State loses, it will be returned to the army members and left to the disposal of our king. ”

"How?"

It's too much of a deception!

For a while, Rao is Qingji had been in the top position for a long time, and the city government was already deep, but when he heard Shen Zhuliang's suggestion, he couldn't help but secretly clench his fists, and his heart was annoyed.

Fortunately, he hasn't been carried away by anger yet!

It's a real hammer!

The Chu people are indeed humiliating Qingji and humiliating the Wu State!

This horse race is not as simple as it seems on the surface.

Because, no matter what the victory or defeat is, the Qingji who is willing to bet on the minister Wu Zixu as a horse race will be criticized by the world and spurned by the scholars!

After all, Wu Zixu is the county commander of Wu State and the courtier of Qingji.

The monarch who can use his courtiers as a bet is obviously a faint monarch!

In this way, wouldn't Qingji be ruined?

Scholars in the world, how can people of insight defect to Wu again?

And if Qingji refuses and takes out a thousand taels of gold as a horse racing bet, it is very likely to cause a worse impact, and a cynical infamy cannot escape.

One thousand gold, that's not a small amount!

"Bang", before Qingji could speak, Sun Wu, the imperial historian who was sitting at the bottom, immediately stood up, glared at Shen Zhuliang angrily, and reprimanded: "Shen Zhuliang! After Sun Jingru is a famous general, he is the head of a place, why is he so arrogant? ”

"Don't you think Wu Ge is unfavorable?"

"I'm not at a disadvantage either!"

Facing Sun Wu's aggressive posture, Shen Zhuliang did not panic at all, sneered and pressed the hilt of the sword on his waist, and looked at Sun Wu with four eyes, and sneered at each other.

Looking at Sun Wu's posture, he then held his right hand on the hilt of the sword, and there was a great appearance that he would draw his sword and face each other without saying a word.

Where is this alliance between the two countries?

With such a tense momentum, it is clear that they may meet at any time!

Could it be that the Chu people are not afraid of this Zhaoguan alliance and break up unhappily?

Qingji couldn't help but feel confused.

At this moment, it is Meng Huan who is the most calm!

"Please don't be impatient, you two."

I saw Meng Huan smile lightly and waved his hand, so that Sun Wu and Shen Zhuliang, who seemed to be on the verge of fire, sat down separately and were not allowed to act rashly.

Forced by Meng Huan's power, the two got off the donkey down the slope and sat down.

Meng Huan suddenly glanced at Qingji again, and said with a smile: "King Wu, the mourning family heard that in the past, the assassination of the kings and bureaucrats of the former kings of the Wu Kingdom was the death of the princes who were instructed by Gongzi Guang, and those who recommended the princes were also soldiers. ”

"I don't know, yes or no?"

Meng Huan asked this, and Qingji naturally knew what her conspiracy was.

This woman is beautiful and moving on the surface, looking harmless to humans and animals, but in fact, her stomach is full of bad water!

It's a femme fatale!

However, the matter of assassinating the king's bureaucrats is almost well known, and Qing Ji can't hide it, so he can only nod his head and say yes.

"Since the death of Wu Xian's royal bureaucracy is not unrelated to the soldiers, at least it is a conspiracy and an accomplice. In this case, why did King Wu protect the soldiers who had a grudge against him to kill his father? ”
