Meng Huan's words are not unreasonable!

In the incident of Zhuzhu's assassination of the king's bureaucracy, Wu Zixu played the role of an accomplice, recommending Zhuzhu not to mention for He Lu, and possibly giving advice from it.

In other words, Wu Zixu is like Lu Lu, and he has a grudge against Qingji for killing his father!

The revenge of killing the father is not shared!

But Qingji cherished Wu Zixu's talents, and was unwilling to execute him, and knew that he was not qualified to forgive Wu Zixu and forgive his sins on behalf of Wu Wangyi.

Therefore, Qingji could only retreat to the second, pretending to be a ghost and god, let Wu Zixu go, and entrusted him with a heavy responsibility.

To a certain extent, this did not allow Qingji to bear the name of unfilial piety, and saved Wu Zixu's life.

It's just that Wu Zixu's black history can't be revealed.

"Guotai, the past, there is no need to mention it."

Qingji said lightly: "No matter what the soldier did in the past and what kind of crimes he committed, now he is a widow's courtier, and he is the county commander of Wu State, how can the widow use his own ministers as a bet?" ”

"Isn't that ridiculous?"

Qingji insisted on protecting Wu Zixu!

This made Wu Zixu have mixed feelings in his heart, and immediately stood up and said to Qingji: "King, it is rare for the Chu State to look up to the ministers, and Xu Chen is a daughter!" ”

"Your Majesty is not talented, and you are willing to bet on the king's horse race!"

This is Wu Zixu's willingness!

Just to resolve the current dilemma of Qingji!

He is really willing to smear his liver and brain for Qingji, and he will not give up!

After all, there is a blood feud between Wu Zixu and the State of Chu.

Meng Huan, Shen Zhuliang and others all know that Wu Zixu has the talent to go through the heavens and latitudes, such a person is reused by Qingji, and he is an old minister of Chu State, and he hates Chu State, which will definitely cause a lot of trouble to Chu State.

Therefore, they did not hesitate to bet on their daughter, asking Qingji to gamble on Wu Zixu's net worth!

Wu Zixu knew this, but he still stood up without hesitation, just to help Qingji solve problems.

It's really a tribulation!

Qingji glanced at Wu Zixu with appreciation.

If the Wu side loses this horse race, and Wu Zixu is handed over to the Chu people to deal with, I don't know what will happen to him?

It's nothing more than a car crack, a cooking ......

At this time, Wu Zixu can come forward, even if Qingji agrees, it will not hurt Qingji's reputation too much, after all, Wu Zixu asked for it.

Just when everyone thought that Qingji would get off the donkey down the slope and agreed, Qingji shook his head and said: "The widow's minister, the minister of Wu's society, must not be used as a bet and be underestimated!" ”

"In the eyes of the widow, Wu Qing's worth is more than a thousand gold."

"Guotai, the widow is willing to bet on Chang'an, if the Wu side loses, Chang'an will be ceded to Chu!"

"If Mrs. Guo doesn't agree, please stop the horse race."

Qingji doesn't want to be led by others!

Chang'an, is an important city on the side of the river, close to Zhaoguan, sometimes to Chu, sometimes to Wu, now is the city of Wu.

The geographical location of Long Bank is very important, because it is located directly in front of the road leading to the Wudi River, which is the first to bear the brunt!

The state of Chu wants to destroy Wu, which is the closest to the line of the long shore, and it is the most trouble-free.

In the same way, if the state of Wu wants to destroy Chu, Chang'an is the most suitable as a bridgehead!

Therefore, Chang'an has always been the place where the two armies of Wu and Chu fought fiercely, and it is difficult to separate.

Now Qingji can actually come up with such an important city as a bet on horse racing, how generous?

You know, the value of the long shore is not something that ordinary wealth can measure!

And how much is it worth a thousand gold?

"Oh no, my lord!"

"Please think twice!"

Wu Zixu and Sun Wu hurriedly got up to dissuade them.

However, Qing Ji just waved his hand and said slowly: "The widow's mind has been decided, so there is no need to say more." ”

"Good."

Qingji is so arrogant, Meng Huan has no reason not to agree.

Seeing this, Wu Zixu couldn't help but burst into tears, and looked at the celebration like a "god man" with gratefulness!

He never expected that Qingji would be able to value himself so much!

Wu Zixu is worth a long shore?

No, it's more than priceless!

For a while, Wu Zixu hated not being able to sacrifice his heart for Qingji!

Immediately, since Qingji had agreed to the horse race and took out the bet, Meng Huan waved his hand and asked an old man who was over half a hundred years old and had gray temples to the Sifang Terrace.

This person, Wu Zixu feels very familiar!

"King Wu, for the sake of fairness, the mourning family deliberately found Donggao Gong, a master of Soma who has been famous for a long time in Xu State, to screen horses for use by horses."

It turned out to be Donggao Gong, no wonder he looks so familiar!

Wu Zixu suddenly realized.

This old man is the Duke of Donggao who helped Wu Zixu when he passed the Zhao Pass.

For Wu Zixu, Donggao Gong can be described as a life-saving benefactor!

"The country has a heart."

Qingji glanced at Meng Huan deeply and said meaningfully.

No wonder Meng Huan wants to race horses with him, and he doesn't hesitate to spend a thousand gold as a bet, and his feelings are already prepared!

Meng Huan could guess what Qingji was thinking, so he smiled and said, "King Wu should have heard of Donggao Gong. The skill of Donggao Gongxiang is unmatched in the world, or the former Bole can be compared! ”

"The Duke of Donggao is upright, and the King of Wu is credible."

For Donggao Gong, Qingji is naturally trustworthy.

After all, the people of the Spring and Autumn Period attached great importance to the name and festival, and the people who were willing to die for it did not know how many!

And Donggao Gong was able to risk his life to rescue Wu Zixu who was trapped in Zhaoguan, which can be seen as a person.

After a short time, Donggao Gong went down to Soma.

There are three classes of horses, including upper, middle and lower, and the task of Donggao Gong is to select third-class horses from all the horses in the teams of Wu and Chu to use for horse racing!

It's a lengthy process, so the Jockey Club has to wait for the next day.

……

Night falls.

In the line where Qingji was located, facing his own king, Sun Wu, the imperial historian, and Wu Zixu, the commander of Wudu County, couldn't help but be worried, and it was difficult to hide their embarrassment.

"The king, your subordinates have only visited it, and the horses selected by the Duke of Donggao for the Chu people are quite miraculous, and they seem to be northern horses, whether they are on the middle or under the horses, they are better than my Wu horses."

Sun Wu sighed: "The Chu people are obviously prepared this time!" ”

Hearing this, Qingji bowed slightly, and did not suspect that Donggao Gong was biased towards the side of the Chu State.

It is true that the Duke of Donggao has lived in Chu for a long time, but his character is still trustworthy!

It would not be surprising if the Chu State had prepared in advance and selected the more excellent upper, middle and lower third-class horses!

"King, the Chu people clearly want to humiliate my Wu country."

Wu Zixu said hatefully: "Tomorrow's horse race, if my Wu side loses, the king will lose face, and he will cede Chang'an, why bother?" ”

"According to the minister's opinion, the king might as well use yin things to secretly buy the emperor of the Chu people, or put medicine in the forage of the Chu horses, so that the Chu people will lose the horse race tomorrow."

Wu Zixu is really a ruthless poisoner, and he can do whatever it takes to achieve his goal!

However, Qingji disagreed.

"The Emperor of Chu, I don't know who it is, how can I buy it? Besides, the horses of tomorrow's race are already under strict care, so why not take the medicine? ”

"What's more, such a trivial trick is disdainful of it."

Qingji is very calm, and in his mind, he already has a way to deal with it!
