Big Song Xiaohou Ye

Chapter 147 Cuju Competition
A few people were talking, and another group of people crowded over.

"Oh, Xiao Yuanwang is the favorite to win the championship again this year!"

"Yeah, I think Xiao Yuanwang has the highest winning rate, but you can see that the odds are almost [-] to [-]. Even if you win, you won't make much money."

"Yes, yes, but if you bet on something else, it doesn't mean you're in vain." Everyone chatted with each other.

"Huh?" Zhao Zhen couldn't help turning his head when he heard the words, "General Cao, Lord Li?" Li Ce said in surprise, the people who were talking just now were actually several adults in the court.

Cao Wei was taken aback. There were so many people here. They didn't notice that His Majesty had come. Just as the lords were about to salute, Zhao Zhen waved his hand and said, "How many lords also placed bets? Which Cuju team do you like?"

Cao Wei blushed, and hurriedly explained: "The old ministers are just trying to have fun, and the bet is just a bet on wine money." Zhao Zhen smiled and didn't care.

Li Ce saw the guilty look of Cao Wei and the others, and knew that the old man was not telling the truth, but since he was caught, he had to let them bleed.

"Which one is General Cao going to bet on?" Li Ce asked with a smile. Last time, this old guy really tricked himself.

Cao Wei gave him a sneaky look. Seeing that Zhao Zhen was also waiting to hear, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "This...the Cuju team with His Majesty is naturally betting on His Majesty, Mr. Li, what do you say? Isn't that right?" Cao Wei asked, stroking his beard.

Master Li smiled awkwardly and hurriedly said: "This is natural. Your Majesty's team is brave and brave. I am very optimistic about it."

Zhao Zhen smiled and said nothing, he knew in his heart that Li Fenming said that because of his own face, and he couldn't take it seriously.

But Li Ce laughed and said, "Master Li really has a good eye, so how much are you going to bet?"

Li Yi was stunned and was speechless for a moment.Seeing Li's embarrassing look, Zhao Qin'er couldn't help covering her mouth and smiling, this Li Ce just hit the snake with the stick like this, so only he can ask if people can't get off the stage.

Everyone didn't know that everyone was talking politely, and everyone didn't point it out. Only Li Ce looked like he couldn't react. I don't know if he really didn't know, or he was just pretending to be stupid.

"Master Cao, how much did you say you want to bet?" Li held back for a long time, but then came out with this sentence.

Cao Wei was snickering at the side, but the smile on his face froze upon hearing this...

Zhao Qin'er finally couldn't help laughing out loud, Cao Wei coughed twice, glared at Li angrily and said slowly: "I only brought ten taels of silver with me when I went out today, well, I bet it all." After speaking, he pretended to be generous Sample.

Li secretly admired Cao Wei's quick wit, and he imitated the gourd and said: "I brought 20 taels, and I bet all on it!" Cao Wei and Li expressed their views, and the next few adults hurriedly pretended to be generous and bet all their net worth
Li Ce secretly scolded a group of old foxes. Since he wanted Xiao Yuan Wang to lose his money, he would encourage everyone to bet hard. He smiled and said to Zhao Zhen: "It's a coincidence that all the adults went out without money today, otherwise all the adults will definitely bet. I will fully support His Majesty."

All the adults blushed after hearing this, and they all responded yes yes yes.

Zhao Qin'er glared at him reproachfully, thinking how this man is so upside down, so he has no position!

"Hey! That uncle, that's right, the one who made the bet! The adults didn't bring any money, so can you make a bet first, and then bring the money back?" Li Ce suddenly said loudly.

"Yo, of course it's ok. The adults are all promises. Can you still believe this? The adults just place a bet, and you can send someone to deliver it after you go back." The officer saw that there was a big customer. , hurriedly replied respectfully.

"Ah, this... this..." The adults were embarrassed and didn't know what to do for a while.Cao Wei was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, wishing he could go up and beat this kid up!

Zhao Zhen desperately couldn't help not laughing. He didn't expect that Li Ce would dare to set up a trick for several adults. What's even more funny is that these fine old guys were actually run off by him with words.Seeing their devastated expressions, and daring to hold back their anger without speaking out, it's really uncomfortable, haha!

The matter has come to this point, all the adults are shameless people, and it is not easy to go back on what they say, not to mention that Zhao Zhen is still on the spot, although the boss in his heart is unwilling, he has to reluctantly "donate".

After Cao Wei came out, he bet 300 taels of silver, and some of the other adults had 100 taels, and some had 200 taels, but the sum of them was more than 1000 taels.In just a while, the bets of Zhao Zhen's Cuju team actually rose to more than 5000 taels, and they rose to the third place in one fell swoop!
The betting officer was overjoyed, and hurriedly yelled: "Those who want to bet, place bets quickly, it will be too late after the game starts!"There was a commotion among the crowd, talking and pointing at the bulletin board.

At this time, a young eunuch in Tsing Yi ran over and said, "Your Majesty, my lords, the show is about to begin." Zhao Zhen glanced at the leaderboard, laughed, and left with all the lords in satisfaction.

Zhao Qin'er made a funny face at Li Ce and followed Zhao Zhen in a flick.

"Well, it's third, not bad, second only to King Xiao Yuan and Ding Wei." Li Ce nodded in satisfaction, Zhao Ziyu chuckled and said, "You coaxed and tricked His Majesty and all the adults to place a bet. It's just a matter of time, but this bet still depends on the final result, and I'll see how you explain to them when the time comes."

"Princess Yonggu, I am sending money to your family, and you still scare me like this?" Li Ce said with a smile.

"Hmph, don't get too close to this princess, and don't look at your own virtues!" Zhao Ziyu became angry when she saw him looking familiar. She is a dignified princess, whoever sees her is not respectful, but she is born in this market. The kid is not afraid, what is the majesty of his own princess?

Li Ce cursed secretly, she is still a princess, she has no tutor at all, turning her face is faster than turning a book.You still sarcasm me, wait until the day when the results come out, you will cry!
The words were not speculative, and Li Ce ignored her, turned around and left after saying goodbye.

When he came back, he saw Han Song grimacing and sighing all the time, and the rest of the people were also standing aside with serious expressions.Li Ce was startled, and immediately thought that something must have happened!This is about to start the game, what's wrong with it.

"What's going on?" Li Ce pulled Han Song over and asked in a low voice.

Han Song tremblingly took out a piece of paper, and saw what was written on the front, Li Ce glared at him, and said anxiously, what is this?

Han Song looked at him with guilt and said, look at my luck!Drawn to play against Lu Zaizhi's Cuju team.

It turned out that it was because of this, Li Ce heaved a sigh of relief, I said it was a big deal, our strength is at stake, and our ultimate goal is to win the championship!You don't care who he plays against, all the powerful teams will eventually be our opponents!Li Ce said it loudly on purpose, he wants to cheer up the whole team, this Han Song is also a man of his age, don't he know that he can't disturb the morale of the army before the battle?
Everyone swept away their depressed expressions, and looked at Li Ce eagerly. Li Ce looked around the crowd and said, don't worry, I will take you to the best restaurant for dinner tonight!

Mr. Li is open!Haha, everyone laughed loudly, and the tense and depressed emotions just now disappeared in an instant.

Seeing that the morale was available, Li Ce was secretly happy in his heart. He added, but drinking is not allowed!When we come out on top, I'll let you drink your fill!

Han Song's luck is really not ordinary, he actually won the first round. . .

There was a sound of a big drum, and the eyes of the audience were drawn to the center of the arena. In the huge Cuju arena, an old man led a group of people kneeling and worshiping, and an incense table was set up. Li Ce was taken aback, isn't he?It's just a Cuju competition, why make this whole day like offering sacrifices to heaven. . .The ancients liked to set up incense altars to worship the heaven and the earth whenever there were major festivals or events, in order to seek blessings from the heavens.

Then Zhao Zhen began to speak, to the effect that it was a New Year's speech such as prosperity, peace and universal celebration. The people in the field were already waiting impatiently. It's started, His Majesty has been talking non-stop again, and some people have already started to get restless.

Zhao Zhen smiled helplessly, and then announced the official start of the Cuju Competition!The people in the field cheered, calling His Majesty wise.

Zhao Zhen returned to his seat, but the queen mother said with some displeasure, how could she be so impatient?Xiao Yuan Wang secretly laughed at the side, Zhao Zhen glanced at him, and seeing his gloating look, he knew that he must have slandered the Queen Mother again!This Zhao Ji is getting more and more presumptuous!

After the queen mother finished speaking, she did not blame him further, but turned her attention to the field, where Li Ce and Lu Yijian's Cuju team had already entered the field, and the people cheered.

At this time, the cuju competition is quite formal, and the two sides wear red and blue clothes to distinguish them. Li Cefang wears red clothes.

Xiao Yuan Wang Zhao Ji explained from the side, Empress Dowager, this first battle is between Lord Lu and the Cuju team of the imperial brother.After he finished speaking, he glanced at Zhao Zhen proudly, his eyes full of playfulness.

The Queen Mother let out an oh, turned around and asked, does Zhen'er have a chance of winning?

Zhao Zhen hurriedly smiled and said, Queen Mother, the strength of Lu Zaizhi's team should not be underestimated. My boy remembers that he was fourth last year.

The Empress Dowager Liu E nodded, and Zhao Ji said, "Imperial Brother is too arrogant to overpower others, and I think Master Lu's Cuju team is of average level.After speaking provocatively, he had to take a look at Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen sneered and said, Zhao Ji, you are too impatient, I haven't finished yet, Master Lu's Cuju team is powerful, but I am sure to beat him!

Zhao Ji laughed and said, "Brother Huang seems to be determined to win this year. The competition is about to start. Let's wait and see what the result will be."

Zhao Zhen turned his head, staring at the two teams on the field, he thought, Li Ce, don't let me down!He was subconsciously looking for Li Ce, and suddenly he was shocked!What about Li Ce?Where did this kid go?Two rows of players in the field had already stood up, but he was nowhere to be seen. Where did he go at this critical moment?Zhao Zhen panicked and couldn't help getting up to look around. He searched left and right but still couldn't see Li Ce, and couldn't help but feel even more anxious.

Zhao Qin'er saw him looking anxiously, quietly came to his side and asked, "Brother Huang, what are you doing?"

Zhao Zhen couldn't care less about talking to her, and continued to search without looking back, where did Li Ce go?Hearing what he said, Zhao Qin'er couldn't help but look, as expected, Li Ce was nowhere to be seen!
Zhao Qin'er was so angry that she stomped her feet, this person was always out of shape, and he was still running around at this time, what a mistake!
Zhao Zhen frowned and said, Li Ce is a bit loose, but he is not a person who doesn't know his seriousness. Go find him and see what he is doing.Zhao Zhen hurriedly ordered.

Seeing Zhao Zhen's anxious look, Zhao Qin'er thought of the money everyone put in just now, and said with great hatred in his heart, you bloody Li Ce, let me find you later and see if I will peel off your skin!
