The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 215 Two Hundred Four
A group of people followed Yang Lin, the backer king, to the school's military field. The old prince jumped off his horse and climbed onto a stand more than ten feet high, followed by all the civil and military officials.

After the old prince sat down in the handsome seat in the middle, the old prince looked at Duan Wuji and said with a smile: "Wuji, do you think whose horse is not as fast as yours? Let's pull him out to compare with you today." .”

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Who's horse runs slower than whom? My lord, don't make that joke, I'm not shameless.

My lord, how about this, you ask whose horse runs the fastest, and I will compare with the fastest horse, do you think this will work? "

The old prince was overjoyed when he heard it.

"Wuji, you asked for it yourself. Don't blame me if you lose someone in a while!"

"My lord, I asked for it. What's so embarrassing about it? What's the matter?"

Everyone was speechless for a while, this person who was chasing love didn't know what shame was, he had a shameless face, everyone shook their heads when they saw it.

The old prince smiled wickedly.

"Okay, Wuji, since you said so, then follow what you said."

The old prince looked at the generals beside him and said loudly: "Which one of you will step down to pay this hero for fun."

All the military generals immediately exploded when they heard this, and people shook their heads and chattered one after another.

At this time, a military general came out from the crowd with his skirt lifted.

"The Wang family is a thousand years old, the young general is not talented, I would like to end up playing with this brother Duan for a while."

The old prince took a look, and saw that this was a captain under him, named Yang Kaishan, who was only in his thirties this year, the old prince knew that this Yang Kaishan was a general, stepped off the green horse , who is good at wielding a serrated broadsword, it can be said that it is also an invincible existence.

The old prince nodded in satisfaction.

"Yang Kaishan, do you have the confidence to win that Duan Wuji?"

"If you go back to the prince, I have it. The Wang family is thousands of years old, and I dare not say it better than others. If you say that brother Duan can outrun my horse, even if you beat me to death, I will not believe it!

The Wang family is thousand years old, do you think there is anyone who can run with two heels better than four legs?Isn't that bullshit?

Besides, my big green horse is also a good horse, why can't it run alone? "

The old prince listened and nodded.

"Well, what you said is also reasonable. Well, then you are ready to end."

"Yes, the young general takes the order."

This Yang Kaishan was just about to leave.

A civil servant came out of the ranks of civil servants.

"General Yang wait a moment, this lower official has something to say."

Duan Wuji turned his head and saw a civil servant in his 40s coming out of the rank of civil servants.

The old prince smiled and said, "Prefect Xu, what do you want to say? Tell me."

"Thousands of years of the Wang family, today there is a hero who wants to challenge our horses in Shandong, this is a rare event in many years.

Thousands of years of the Wang family, even if Duan Yingxiong dared to say such a big word, that hero is definitely not a person who has a reputation for nothing, since we want to try this, then we'd better set up a distance, so as not to break the distance in a while, Wang Jiaqian , do you think so? "

The old prince listened and nodded.

"Well, what you said really makes sense.

Promise, tell me how we compare? "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "My lord, the playground below is more than a hundred feet long and wide. It takes more than one mile to run a lap. Let's limit it to five laps. If General Yang's horse finishes the five laps first If I circle, then I lose.

If I finish these five laps first, then General Yang loses.

The Wang family is a thousand years old, do you think this is fair? "

The old prince nodded in satisfaction.

"I said Yang Kaishan, did you hear me clearly?"

Yang Kaishan smiled and said: "The Wang family is a thousand years old, the young general understands, well, this idea is really good."

The old prince said to the two people: "Have you all seen clearly? There was a running line built with blue bricks in that field, you two, don't run over the line, it is a violation of the rules, you two listen clearly Is it?"

The two replied in unison: "We all understand what the prince said."

The prefect of Jinan ran over and said with a smile: "My lord, this competition is so interesting, can we give them some credit for this competition?"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Hold the lottery? What kind of lottery is it? How can I tell you how to do it?"

The prefect of Jinan laughed and said, "Wuji, you are not a rich man. If you lose this time, why don't you share [-] taels of silver with us?"

Duan Wuji sneered and said, "Then I'm going to win? Which of you will give me 2 taels of silver?"

"Ah? You still want to win? Is that possible? If you win, how about we give you twenty thousand taels of silver."

The old prince laughed and said: "This competition is getting more and more interesting. Who among you would like to play some games? This prince will guarantee you."

Well, this old prince doesn't think it's a big deal.

After hearing this, seventy or eighty civil and military officials came over.

"The Wang family is a thousand years old, we are all willing to gamble a little, in order to please."

The old prince laughed and said: "Okay, Master Li, please write down the names of the people who are willing to bet some money, and see how much each of them is willing to bet, and tell me the total amount later."

Master Li promised to make a count, and soon handed over the list of those who are willing to participate in gambling.

The old prince took the list and took a look, ho!There were as many as 73 people who were willing to gamble, and the total amount of betting money was as high as 6000 taels.

The old prince shook his head when he saw it.

"How can this be done? With such a high amount, it would be better to kill this kid."

Then, the old prince handed the list to Duan Wuji.

"Son, take a look at this list, do you dare to fight such a high amount?"

Duan Wuji glanced at him and said with a smile: "Wang Jiaqiantui, if you dare to make a guarantee, then I will dare to fight. If you don't make a guarantee, I think it will be over."

The old prince laughed and said: "Of course I will be your guarantor, Wuji, if you lose this time, I will deduct the more than 6000 taels of silver from your horse selling silver. What do you think?" ?”

The old prince looked at his civil and military officials happily again.

"Everyone, if you lose, I will deduct your salaries and let Wuji and the others take them away. Are you willing?"

Duan Wuji first agreed after listening.

"Thousands of years of the Wang family, if I lose, you can deduct from the money I sold the horse. Duan Wuji can still lose the two money."

"Ah That's good."

The old prince looked at his group of civil servants and generals again.

"What about you? You can see that Wuji has agreed."

The group of civil servants and military generals nodded when they heard this.

"Wang Jiaqiantui, we also want the old prince to be a guarantee for us. If you lose Wang Jiaqiantui, you can deduct it from our salary. This is called willing to gamble and admit defeat."

"Okay, this is what you said, so I will guarantee you once."

Tie Niu smiled and said, "Brother, why don't I pay half of the gambling money for you? We brothers live and die together. I can't let you take such a big risk alone!"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Brother Tieniu, my meat head is thicker than yours, let me see this, I will bear two shares, and you will bear one share, so that if we two brothers lose, we can still lose , after all, no one has the certainty of winning, what do you think?"

Tie Niu listened and nodded.

"Okay then, pay off brother, I don't expect us to win!"

Duan Wuji took off his coat, and took off the snakeskin armor inside.

"Brother Tieniu, give me this armor and see how I can beat him today."

Everyone smiled.

Ho!There are quite a lot of bits and pieces on this kid, and he even has armor.Not to mention, this armor is really beautiful, it looks like a rich man.

Duan Wuji put on his coat, immediately walked down the platform and waited.

When the boy named Yang Kaishan saw it, he secretly laughed in his heart!Boy, let's make you proud for a while, and see how I can beat you in a while.

Yang Kaishan walked down the earthen platform, and brought his big green horse over.Yang Kaishan got on his horse, and the two stood side by side.

Seeing this, the old prince shouted loudly: "Get ready, let's run."

Following the order of the old prince, Duan Wuji and Yang Kaishan were desperate, and Yang Kaishan slapped the horse's buttocks, and the horse immediately died as well, with all four hooves on the ground. Immediately rushed forward desperately.

Duan Wuji's body turned into a slippery line, and immediately ran forward desperately. In the first two laps, one person and one horse ran almost as fast, but the people on the high platform looked stupid.

After three laps, Duan Wuji gradually dropped the big green horse. Duan Wuji ran faster and faster, and by the fifth lap, Duan Wuji had already dropped the big green horse by half a lap!

Wait for Duan Wuji to stop.A considerable number of civil and military officials on the stage cried.
