Chapter 544: The Banquet
Gu Shenwei almost tested his foot strength with the mount of the king of the sun.
Everything is ready, the questions and counter-questions on both sides of the contradiction, the audience's coaxing and fueling, the people of Beiting are never tired of watching the excitement, especially the rare people and horses are faster, the nobles are so excited that their faces are red, if anyone dares to come up against the will of the people to persuade them, it may attract a few old punches.
The King of the Holy Day was happier than anyone else, and even sobered up for three minutes, and without waiting for election, he made himself the overseer, "Who will rob me? Who dares to rob me?"
King Kuari watched with a smile, waiting to see how the Dragon King responded, it was very easy for the King of the Sun to win, he only needed to increase the distance, no matter how good the martial arts people's light skills were, they could only lead the horses within a mile or two, and no matter how long they were, they would show fatigue.
Everyone came up with ideas for bets, and the flame horse was no longer enough, and the silver was increased by thousands of taels of silver, and some even proposed to gamble their limbs and lives.
Gu Shenwei didn't respond at all, staring at the king of the sun quietly, if his judgment was correct, it would be the other party who reined in the precipice.
In just a pillar of incense, the face of the king of the sun has gone through the four seasons, first he was a little green with anger, then he was red with anger, as the stakes continued to rise, his face became pale again, and finally, the emotions of the onlookers were about to fly into the sky, but he changed into a pleasant face, stretched out his arms, suppressed the chaotic voice, and announced that he was not comparing.
"It's my fault, I didn't ask any questions, and I said that the dragon king was a horse thief without any evidence, I think it's just a coincidence, or someone wants to frame the dragon king. ”
"Quite possibly. Gu Shenwei answered.
The rude appearance of the King of the Sun is only, at the critical moment, he knows how to advance and retreat, and the eyes of the Dragon King make him understand more.
This young man is a killer, even if he calls himself the dragon king and builds an army, he is still a killer in his bones, just because of a little friction when they first met, he dared to steal the master's most cherished treasure, and then I don't know what else he can do.
If he loses the competition, he loses face, but the dragon king succeeds in fame, and if he wins the competition, the king of the sun is more worried about the safety of the flame horse.
"It's not comparable, it's not comparable, the Dragon King is a distinguished guest of the North Court, I'm really rude, forgive the Dragon King, you guys do me a favor, it doesn't matter who it is, find the Flame Horse, I'll give him 100,000 taels of silver and ten slave girls, and-" Speaking of the last few words, the eyes of the King of the Sun Dynasty only looked at the Dragon King, "My friendship." ”
The disappointment of the nobles is self-evident, ordinary people do not dare to embarrass the king of the day, they all keep silent, only the king of the holy day, as if he is dedicated to offending people for his own responsibility, lest the world will not be chaotic, shouting at the top of his voice: "Don't compare? What are you kidding? I am even ready to make a bet, no, I must compare, I must compare." ”
King Ri's face returned to winter, King Kuari knew that it was time to play, this was his home, his banquet, and the situation must be controlled by him, "The second king has drunk too much, and there is no need to worry if you want to watch the game, there are less than ten days before this year's Dragon Court Conference, the game is every day, and you can't watch it all." ”
"Dragon Court Assembly. The Holy Sun King muttered a repeat, then looked at the Dragon King, "Is the Dragon King also participating?"
Fang Wen didn't have time to mention what the Dragon Court Conference was before, Gu Shenwei naturally refused to rush to agree, but King Kuari made a decision for him, "Of course the Dragon King participates, wouldn't it be a pity to miss such a grand event?"
The Holy Sun King staggered away, took a few steps and suddenly turned back and said: "Dragon King, call your Dapeng Bird, that thing is interesting, the people of Jinpeng Castle are all fools, and they finally caught two of them, and they were killed if they were not offered by the Divine Bird, alas, stupid." ”
When the crowd dispersed, they went to drink and brag again, and the king of Kuari whispered: "The king of the sun loves horses, and the king of the holy day is obsessed with raising birds, and if there is a collision in words, the dragon king should not be blamed." ”
"I think the two princes are straightforward and cute. ”
"Haha, the dragon king is so open-minded. ”
"The Dragon Court Assembly—"
"Look at me, I made this kind of low-level mistake again, I think everyone in the world knows it, the Dragon Court Conference is our annual gathering of Beiting people, in previous years, it was held in the autumn, this year is a bit special, once the war with the Central Plains starts, I don't know when it will end, so it is advanced to June, martial arts, training, horse racing, dog racing, everything, with the skills of the Dragon King, this year will definitely be able to win the first warrior. ”
King Kuari's "mistake" was not low-level at all, and a few casual words were tantamount to publicly declaring the ownership of the Dragon King, and Gu Shenwei didn't even have time to object.
"I'm not good at martial arts, and I'm an outsider, so I'm afraid I'm not suitable to compete with the people of Beiting. ”
King Kuari looked left and right, pulled Gu Shenwei aside, and whispered: "Don't blame me for making my own decisions, let you participate in the warrior competition, I have a last resort." ”
"Oh?"
"The Dragon King is a distinguished guest invited by the Old Khan King, and it stands to reason that he should be summoned immediately, but the Dragon King should know that there are many people who oppose you, so things are a bit difficult to handle. ”
Gu Shenwei was a little surprised, he had thought of many things in advance, but this one was not expected, he thought that it would be natural to meet the old Khan King, how could he encounter obstacles? Who could stop the old Khan King?
Seeing the Dragon King's doubts, King Kuari smiled bitterly, "It's a bit incredible, isn't it? Everyone thinks that King Khan has the status of a god in the North Court, but even when a god can't be captured." Any palace needs more than two pillars, and as a khan, you must keep all sides balanced, otherwise the edifice will shake. The Khan didn't care about who said what, but the status of the speaker. ”
King Kuari's words began to become false again, and Gu Shenwei only heard one thing, this young prince had already regarded himself as the King of Beiting Khan, and even considered the problem from a different angle than others.
"What good can I do if I am prevented from meeting with the Old Khan?"
"The benefits are too great, not to mention anything else, Jinpeng Fort alone is willing to pay a huge price for it. ”
Whoever can get the summons of the old Khan king first, who can take the initiative on the chessboard, Gu Shenwei found that he thought about some things too simply, "The winner of the warrior game can be summoned by the old Khan king?"
"It's tradition, and even the most dissenting people can't oppose it. Until then, the Dragon King can rest assured that there are people who oppose you, and naturally there are people who oppose Jinpeng Castle. King Kwari blinked his eyes and showed a tacit expression, "As far as I know, Jinpeng Castle will also send people to participate in the Warrior Match, it will be the first battle between the two of you, and I believe that the Dragon King will win very easily." ”
King Kuari patted Gu Shenwei on the shoulder and walked over to perfunctory the other guests.
Fang Wen was easily convinced by King Kuari, and Gu Shenwei almost lost his vigilance, but once the suspicion arose, it became heavier and heavier, and he didn't like King Kuari's way of speaking very much now, on the surface, he was relieved, but in fact, he didn't say anything, who the opponents were, and who the supporters were, without revealing a word.
King Kuari has already begun to make decisions for the Dragon King, which is where Gu Shenwei is most uneasy and resistant.
Unless it encounters a natural disaster**, the banquet of the people of Beiting will never come to an abrupt end, and they are proud of the chaos of the scene.
The Dragon King, who did not drink, was out of step with this kind of scene, and after receiving a moment of attention, he was quickly forgotten, and unlike the competition between the three most important princes, the other princes and nobles all adhered to an invisible bottom line: to be polite to the Dragon King, while deliberately keeping their distance.
The only reason why Gu Shenwei is delaying his departure is that the day is chasing the king, and the contradiction between the two is only bridged on the surface, and a solution is still needed.
As a result, the king of the day was drunk faster than any other time today, and before the third watch, he was already drunk and vomited everywhere, scaring the guests to hide in all directions.
The king of the sun was carried out by his attendants.
Gu Shenwei waited for a while, only said goodbye to King Kuari, and also left the banquet.
In his tent, the king of the sun was sitting and drinking, not drunk at all.
"You're amazing. And the king of the sun did not lift up his head, and said.
"It's over. ”
"No, it's not at all, you kid has a kind, even the old Khan King has never touched the idea of the flame horse, you dare, and you embarrassed me in public. ”
"As I said, I didn't steal the Flame Pony from me. ”
"Yes, you didn't steal it, the dragon king's master is like a cloud, what about the old man Mu? I haven't seen this bastard all the time. ”
Gu Shen was silent.
King Rizhu sighed, "Sometimes I want to just kill you, at most I will be scolded by the old Khan King." ”
"I believe you have the ability and qualifications. ”
The tone of the dragon king was the same as his person, pale and cold, seemingly weak and powerless, but in fact it was as hard as a stubborn stone, the king of the sun raised his head, his eyes showed a fierce light, and slowly returned to normal, and then changed the topic without warning, "Gu Lun killed my son, just like you, he also made me unable to get off the stage, I hate it to the core." ”
The king of the day was finally willing to face the problem head-on, and although he was still angry, Gu Shenwei saw this as the first step to good communication.
"He's dead, the whole family is dead. ”
"That's right, Gu Lun's whole family is dead, but I'm very unhappy, because I wasn't the one who killed him. You also have enemies, and do you want them to be killed by unrelated people?"
Before entering Jinpeng Castle, when Gu Shenwei was unable to take revenge, he fantasized about killing the enemy with his own hands every moment, but after the harsh killer training, he controlled the hatred and changed his opinion, the enemy still has to die, but it doesn't have to be done himself, the killer is sometimes the same as zazen, too attached to a certain idea, it will lead to the invasion of demonic thoughts.
There was no way to explain this concept to a prince of Beiting, so Gu Shenwei just nodded and did not answer.
"My original plan was to personally lead troops into the Western Regions, capture Gu Lun, and behead him in public, for this reason I have been encouraging the old Khan King to move to the Western Regions as soon as possible, but unfortunately Jinpeng Fort took the lead, these turtle sons, killed my enemies, and also wanted to ask me for merit and send Gu Lun's head to me. What can I do? I can only scold the envoy of Jinpeng Castle and leave my head to make a urinal. ”
The blood surged violently, Gu Shenwei had not had such a strong urge to kill for a long time, and his right hand involuntarily held on the hilt of the knife.
Seeing the actions of the Dragon King, the King of Rizhu said coldly: "You are not surnamed Yang, your surname is Gu, the enemies are very red when they see each other, and they are really right, do you want to take revenge? Or do you want to dominate the Western Regions?"
Gu Shenwei felt strange that the King of Rizhu actually said almost the same problem as the military advisor Fang Wen.
