Chapter 15 Wu Donghan
Just a few days before Chu Hao crossed over, the little prince took his dog leg and made a bet with Chu Hao, and held a grand competition in Juyunlou, the largest restaurant in the capital, ten days later.
This bet is also very simple to say, it is to fight crickets.
In the capital, fighting crickets is also a fashionable leisure activity for the nobles of the kings and grandchildren, and it is more touted and chased by the disciples than the coquettish poetry meeting, tea tasting party, and flower appreciation meeting.
And the bet of the little prince and the little prince, although the lottery is gold, but the actual meaning is the face of both parties, so the prince didn't think about it at that time, so he agreed.
You must know that in the past, the bets between the two parties were all won by the little prince, who lost more and lost face, so the prince vowed to take advantage of this opportunity to move back for a game and raise his eyebrows.
And that counts, it's exactly ten days.
Thinking of these things, Chu Hao suddenly laughed a little, did the first battle of the secret Dao Lao Tzu cross over was to fight crickets? It is really enough to lose the face of the cultivation world and the face of the traversal.
However, he occupies the excellent body of this world, and if he doesn't do something for him, it seems that he can't say anything. Since this little prince is so enthusiastic and abusive, how can Chu Hao be unhappy.
Seeing that Chu Hao didn't speak, a mockery flashed in the little prince's eyes: "What, has the imperial brother really forgotten?" I remember that the last time the imperial brother boasted to this prince, how fierce is your earth-shaking general?"
Of course, Lao Tzu is fierce, and Lao Tzu's world-shattering gun is definitely more fierce than your silver spear wax head.
Chu Hao thought viciously in his heart, and said: "Hehe, Xiao Wang naturally hasn't forgotten, no, I was just about to go out, but I didn't expect the little prince to come to remind Xiao Wang in person, as a royal brother, I am really ashamed!"
"Really?" The little prince looked at Chu Hao's appearance that he had just woken up, and was a little annoyed: "Brother Huang and Gongzi Chen have been waiting for Brother Huang in Juyun Tower for an hour, if they don't come over to call Brother Huang, I'm afraid they will have to wait until tomorrow!"
"Where, even if Xiao Wang has had dinner, he will come!" Chu Hao replied shamelessly, and held the little prince for a long time before saying to Xiao Si: "Go quickly, bring Xiao Wang's 'General Zhenshi' over!"
The little prince pursed his lips, looked at Chu Hao's relaxed appearance, and said lightly: "Brother Huang, you better tidy up your costume and come again, today the imperial brother specially invited Mr. Wu Donghan to be the referee, so I won't stay long, I will leave first!"
As he spoke, he didn't wait for Chu Hao to answer, he flicked his long sleeves and left with the guards at the door.
"Damn, stinky boy, what are you dragging! Return the prince and grandson, uneducated!" Chu Hao is the most arrogant, especially more arrogant than himself. However, this little prince does have arrogant capital, and it is actually the nine-layer bone refining period, and there is never this information in the memory of this prince before.
That kid deliberately hid in front of the previous son? pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger?
A thought flashed through Chu Hao's heart, but he couldn't grasp it. However, I believe that most of the officials in the capital should know about the assassination of himself five days ago, after all, a few days ago, the prince Chu Yunfei united several faction generals of the military department, and used this matter in the court to put pressure on the general of the city defense guard, that is, the superintendent Sima Zou's family, and there was a stir.
At this time, Xiao Si came over with a blue tile carved porcelain. After Chu Hao took it, he carefully uncovered the hijab, blocked the upper head with internal force, and looked at it.
In this blue-tiled porcelain, there is a cricket about the length of a thumb, and when it feels the hijab open, it is unwilling to be lonely and chirps a few times, which seems very high-pitched.
Its head is a little large, showing a dark blue color, although the bamboo tube is pitch black, but the whole body flows up and down with a faint luster; its tentacles are very long, like the general's battle helmet and whiskers, leaning on the sides of the body, its compound eyes seem to be mixed with dark yellow, lying motionless in the green tile porcelain, but full of domineering.
Although Chu Hao didn't know the varieties and quality of the crickets, when he saw this cricket, he knew that it was not an ordinary product, and the title of "general" was quite appropriate! No wonder the prince made a special trip to ask someone to buy it for three hundred taels of gold.
But three hundred taels, or gold to buy a bug, is really enough to lose.
After all, the summer worms die in winter, and there are only two seasons to live.
Chu Hao remembered the failure of the refining weapon in the morning, and felt unhappy for a while. But if you can make the little prince angry for a while, it's not bad. So he smiled and picked the tail of the cricket with the hot grass of the green tile porcelain, and his words were full of temptation:
"'General Zhenshi', if you can help this prince kill the 'slut' who broke the prince today, I will give you good sorghum every day, and then marry you a thousand beautiful female crickets, so that you can be a groom every night. ”
Xiao Si hurriedly said: "Little prince, have you forgotten, fighting crickets cannot mate, you must maintain abundant desire and fighting spirit in order to win the opponent, otherwise you will slack off and not fight." ”
"Yes, who said this? As a man, as a male insect, there is no nourishment of the opposite sex to slack off and not fight!" Chu Hao glanced at Xiao Si, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he laughed.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
After tinkering for more than half an hour, Chu Hao specially changed his clothes and tidied up his hairstyle indiscriminately, which was to let Xiao Si hold the porcelain bowl and walk out of the palace together.
Xiao Si was still a little worried, "Little Prince, do you want to call the commander of Chu Mo?"
Chu Hao looked at the four guards beside him, all of them were masters of bone refining or skin refining, although the incident five days ago made him a little vigilant, but he thought that there would be no chaos in the capital, he shook his head and said, "No need, let's go like this!"
As the largest restaurant in Beijing, Juyunlou is naturally built not far from the wealthy area of Beijing, at the end of Suzaku Street. Since Chu Hao did not have the habit of sitting in a sedan chair, he was led by Xiao Si, looking at the antique scenery around him along the way, and slowly moving towards the finish line.
Walking out of Suzaku Street, the scenery suddenly opened up, the bustling and noisy street was full of people, teahouses, wine shops, and shops, which was different from the silence of the rich area, which gave Chu Hao a sense of belonging in a trance for the first time.
In about fifteen minutes, the three gilded characters of Juyun Tower appeared in front of him, and downstairs, there were several carriages parked, one of which was obviously royal.
The shopkeeper knew Chu Hao, the gentleman, and nodded and led the group to the third floor.
"His Royal Highness the Prince is really waiting!"
As soon as he went upstairs, a voice of grumbling in joy came, Chu Hao looked over, and saw that there were only a dozen people in the huge hall on the third floor, and at the top of the stairs, there were still a few expressionless guards.
The one who spoke was a young man dressed in white, about the same age as Chu Hao, this person Chu Hao knew, it was Sun Haoran, the son of General Sun Lei of the Military Department, and he was also the most important son in the capital.
Chu Hao smiled faintly, his eyes swept over, there were really a lot of characters inside, except for the little prince who was sitting at the window and didn't get up, everyone else was a young master who could be called in the capital, Chen Ruofan, the son of the chief, Fan Decheng, Sima's nephew, and Nangong Jie, the grandson of Shangshu...... All of them have good backgrounds.
However, the most eye-catching among them are Sun Haoran and another young man wearing a Confucian robe and standing beside the little prince.
That young man had an extraordinary temperament, although he was standing beside the little prince, he exuded an aura of arrogance, and even for Chu Hao to come up, he only glanced at it, and there was no wave or awe in his eyes.
This person's bearing feels like a piece of beautiful jade with ice and jade!
Chu Hao showed a smile on his face, stepped forward, and said: "Presumably, this is Mr. Wu Donghan, who is nagging day and night in the mouth of the emperor's brother, I have heard of Mr. Wu's name for a long time, and when we meet today, we are indeed the dragon among people, and we are very lucky." ”
Speaking of which, this Wu Donghan is just a flower prospect for this year's spring imperial examination, neither a leader, nor a champion, but his reputation has completely overshadowed the other two and has become a rookie in the literary world that the empire has noticed.
There is no other reason, this Wu Donghan, twenty-one years old this year, is the proud eldest grandson of the old man Wu of the Wu family!
Wu Donghan was born in the scholarly family of Wu family in Jinling City, the Wu family has multiplied for hundreds of years, the family has a big business, and the old man Wu is the prime minister who has made a lot of contributions with the emperor back then, although the old man Wu resigned and returned to his hometown twenty years ago because of the matter of seizing the heir, resulting in no one in the family in the empire, but his reputation and influence have not declined at all, but because of this weakness is even higher.
Faintly known as the first scholar of the empire!
Old man Wu is in the empire, branching out, many civil officials and literati, all admire him very much, this person once and Chu Hao and his Lao Tzu Weiyuan Wang Ye faction of the hundred battles general Sun Gu alongside, known as the empire's one article and one martial arts, although both have retreated to the background, but the reputation has always been standing.
Although Wu Donghan is just a tanhua this time, he is better than his youth and background, but he doesn't know how this kid could get mixed up with the little prince, not only are the other princes dissatisfied, but Chu Hao is also extremely incomprehensible.
"The word "sir" really dare not be, how can a scholar in Xia really be worthy of such praise from the little prince!" Wu Donghan bowed down and saluted without humility or arrogance, and said: "I haven't saluted the little prince yet, it's really disrespectful, student Wu Donghan, I've seen the little prince." His voice was very low, and Chu Hao kept paying attention to his expression, and found that there were no waves.
This person is not shocked, he is a character.
Chu Hao sighed secretly in his heart and said with a smile: "No need to be polite, today's competition, then let Mr. be a witness." ”
"Don't dare, don't dare. Wu Donghan still replied modestly, but this time he spoke, and glanced at the little prince inadvertently.
