Chapter 473: Betting
However, Lord Chen will not give in, although the officialdom is ostracized everywhere, but his loyalty to the court and the emperor has never changed.
"If you say what you want, I won't tell you. Although Qi Chu said just now that he didn't have time to denounce, it seems that the other party's martial arts are very high, and he is estimated to have died under his hands before he speaks. But Lord Chen's attitude is still very tough, he has been fighting horses for half his life, and he has fallen countless souls, and he has long been not afraid of death.
Seeing his hard mouth, Qi Chu smiled and said, "I'm here to heal you, and by the way, I will ask you how you were injured." ”
Seeing that the other party had no other thoughts, it didn't hurt to tell him what had happened.
In the house, Lord Chen slowly arrived. It turned out that he had taken a few of his cronies to inquire about the Japanese Invaders, and he had taken a small boat, hoping to see the traces of the Japanese Invaders on the sea and return immediately. But unexpectedly, he was calculated by the Japanese invaders, and several people of Lord Chen were captured and suffered heavily.
The Japanese wanted to know the deployment situation in Shuicheng from his mouth, but Lord Chen was so stubborn that no one could break it. In the end, the Japanese decided to watch a few of them push into the water to feed the fish, but unfortunately there was a tsunami during the execution. That is, the restlessness of the divine beast Kun, the big boat where Lord Chen was capsized, and he picked up a life.
From Lord Chen's mouth, Qi Chu learned that the Imperial Wind Bowl was in the hands of the Wakou. However, the other party will not use it, and if it weren't for the restlessness of the divine beast Kun this time, the Wind Bowl would not have been activated.
Knowing the specific whereabouts of the artifact, the next step is to grab the treasure. But in the vast sea, who knows where the pirates are hiding?
"Do you remember where the Wako's ship stopped at sea?" Qi Chu asked.
Master Chen shook his head and said, "If they are not discovered, I can be sure of their traces." But we've been discovered, and I've escaped, so they're going to change places. ”
Qi Chu pondered slightly: "Then it seems that they can only send the treasure in person." ”
"You want them to send the treasure? "Lord Chen admired Qi Chu a lot just now, but now listening to him talk big, it's a little uncomfortable.
"Even if it's a dream, there will be a day when it comes true. If you don't believe me, let's make a bet?" Qi Chu was interested, in the past few months, he has been restrained everywhere, and all kinds of forces are hidden in the shadows, even if he has peerless talent, he can't display it.
It's like having a sharp knife, how can you cut it through the air?
Now that he has an opponent and a reason to do it, Qi Chu decided to return all the bullying he had suffered for months this time. But it doesn't seem to be forbidden to fight, right? I thought silently in my heart, you have to resist, don't die until I get angry.
Master Chen didn't know what Qi Chu was thinking. If he knew that he would definitely be to death, you must know that he has been fighting with the Japanese for many years, winning and losing each other, and rarely can take advantage of each other.
As soon as Qi Chu came, he made a lot of nonsense, who could feel better if he returned it?
"Bet on, bet, what are you betting with me?" Lord Chen was also more energetic.
Qi Chu smiled: "Let's not talk about the bet, do you believe that if you win this battle, I can double the strength of your army?"
"Just kidding!"
It is also reasonable for Lord Chen to answer this way, fighting requires death, and it has always been to minimize casualties. How is it possible for people to fight more and more?
Qi Chu said again: "Then believe it or not, if this battle is won, I can let the imperial court expand Penglai Water City, and let the current cabinet scholar Shen Cheng personally bring a huge amount of silver to celebrate your achievements." ”
"Are you stupid, aren't you? I left the capital just because I offended Shen Yiyi!" Lord Chen didn't believe it, and now he thought Qi Chu was a madman. The expansion of the water city has been played many times, and each time it has ended without a problem. And Shen Yiyi, who regarded himself as a thorn in his side, how could he come here to celebrate his achievements in person? And he still carried a huge amount of silver?
Qi Chu didn't care, and still said: "Then believe it or not, if this battle is won, the Japanese will no longer dare to fight the attention of Penglai Water City, and there will be no trace of the Japanese Kou thirty miles away from the sea." ”
This time, it would be foolish to be Lord Chen, of course he wanted to! Who doesn't want to have no more wars, and who doesn't want to live and work in peace and contentment? But the Japanese have coveted the land of the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years, and even if they lose the war, they will definitely make a comeback. It's just the length of time, how can you never dare to get close to Penglai Water City again?
"I don't believe it!"
Qi Chu said again: "Then believe it or not, if you win this battle......
"Don't say it, I don't believe it! I don't believe it!" Lord Chen interrupted, he couldn't let the madman in front of him continue to speak, or he would be driven crazy by him.
"Since you don't believe me, you don't have to bet with me. Qi Chu said with a smile
"No! you have to gamble!" Although Master Chen knew that the other party was eating people and talking about dreams, it was so tempting!
"But the stakes are a bit high, you can figure it out. Qi Chu deliberately scared him.
"No matter how high the stakes are, even if it costs me someone's life, I will bet!"
In Lord Chen's heart, if one of his lives can be exchanged for the stability and wealth of Penglai Water City for the next hundred years, he is willing to be broken into thousands of pieces.
A soldier's mission is to protect a piece of land, even if he dies, he will not regret it.
"You don't have to die. I just need you to promise me that if you win this battle and the court will promote you to an official, you can not accept it. ”
"Don't accept it?" Master Chen was puzzled, it was not that he was greedy for power, but that the stakes were too small.
"I just don't accept it. I want you to promise me to protect this land and the people here from now on, so that they can have enough food and clothing, is it okay?" Qi Chu was serious this time.
"Yes!" Lord Chen's eyes turned red, what Qi Chu said was exactly what he thought in his heart, but he hadn't done it for many years. If he can make the people here have enough food and clothing, why not be promoted? He is willing to stay here for the rest of his life, because a person who has been in a piece of land for a long time will have affection.
"What do you want me to do?" Lord Chen felt that it must be difficult to win the battle, especially with the doubling of the army that Qi Chu said, the expansion of Penglai Water City, and let Shen Cheng personally come to celebrate his achievements.
"I want you to get a good night's sleep, sleep for three days and three nights!" Qi Chu said with a smile
"Sleep, you're not kidding, are you?"
"I've never been so serious now, if you can get a good night's sleep for three days and three nights, this battle will be won. ”
"Why do you have to sleep for me to win?" Master Chen didn't understand, he thought the person in front of him was really weird.
"Because you're asleep, no one will expose that I'm not the emperor. So that I can do whatever I want. Qi Chu smiled evilly.
"Do whatever you want, I won't agree!" Lord Chen found out that he had been fooled.
"It's too late if you don't say yes. Qi Chu ordered Lord Chen's sleeping hole.
Watching a big living person fall asleep and end up asleep. Qi Chu stood up and muttered to himself, "You have to remember today's promise, I will help you win this battle." ”
