The first emperor of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 405 Is It Really Superfluous?
"Since Patriarch Zheng has this kind of elegance, then naturally the king can't help but accompany him, right?" Li Chengqian said to Zheng Canghai with a smile.

"Then the old man will gamble with His Highness the Xian Wang. Similarly, this time, he will also bet on the winner of the two Highnesses. His Highness the Xian Wang is the host, so how about letting the old man bet?" Zheng Canghai said to Li Chengqian with a smile.

"Yes, if the other families have the same taste. How about playing a game with Patriarch Zheng?" Li Chengqian asked the others.

After the other people exchanged glances, they nodded to Li Chengqian at the same time.Then he opened his mouth and said to Zheng Canghai: "Then Patriarch Zheng, please place your bet, we will listen to you."

Hearing what the old people said, Zheng Canghai's nose was not crooked.Doesn't this obviously push yourself into the wind and waves?

But now there is no other way, he can only nod his head and say to Li Chengqian: "In this case, the old man can make a decision."

"The old man thinks that His Highness the King of Wei has a better chance of winning than the King of Shu. So this old man is going to buy His Highness the King of Wei to win."

"Okay, then how much are the Patriarchs going to bet? With the identities of several Patriarchs, if you don't come up with [-] coins, then you are not worthy of your status." Li Chengqian nodded and said.

"What is His Royal Highness talking about? If it's just gambling money, how can it be called novelty. So today, the old man and the others are going to bet with His Highness on something else." Zheng Canghai said to Li Chengqian.

Hearing Zheng Canghai's words, Li Chengqian couldn't help but secretly smiled and said, "Old fox, I knew you wouldn't bet with me."

But Li Chengqian showed a trace of curiosity on his face, and asked Zheng Canghai: "Then I don't know what Patriarch Zheng is going to bet on, but I have a little expectation."

"This old man wants to bet with His Highness on the right to manage the branch of Zhenguan Bank in the Tang Dynasty. I wonder if His Highness is willing." Zheng Canghai said to Li Chengqian with a smile on his face.

"Then what do the Patriarchs plan to bet on?" Li Chengqian asked Zheng Canghai and the others with a smile.

"Then I wonder what His Highness wants the old man and others to bet on?" Zheng Canghai asked Li Chengqian with a smile.

"It's better to use the ancestral houses of several patriarchs as a bet. Although this king is still at a disadvantage, I don't care about it." Li Chengqian said after thinking about it.

Hearing Li Chengqian's words, Zheng Canghai couldn't help being taken aback.He didn't expect that Li Chengqian was going to make them homeless.

So he said to Li Chengqian with a bad expression: "His Royal Highness, you are a bit too much, aren't you? The old man did not ask His Highness to put the East Palace on hold."

"I'm still pretending to be a good person here. Don't you know what you did yourself?" Li Chengqian said with a change of expression.

"Then please His Royal Highness the Xian King explain, what shameful thing did this old man do?" Zheng Canghai looked at Li Chengqian and asked word by word.

"The patriarchs made such a big bet just now that they bet tens of millions. And the third one won. But why do you want to buy the fourth one now?" Li Chengqian asked Zheng Canghai.

Zheng Canghai snorted coldly and said, "His Royal Highness, don't talk nonsense, when did I make a bet?"

"It seems that this king made a mistake. But apart from a few patriarchs in the whole world, this king really can't think of anyone who is so rich and powerful." Li Chengqian Jiazhuang said with a puzzled expression.

"Perhaps Fanbang took the opportunity to do something. His Highness will find out if he sends someone to investigate." Cheng Chuliang stood up and said to Li Chengqian.

"That's right, I think it's reasonable for you to say that. Then I'll leave this matter to you. You must bring the bettors to justice before dark." Li Chengqian nodded and said.

Cheng Chuliang clasped his fists at Li Chengqian with excitement, then turned around and said to Princess Qinghe, "Princess, you stay here with Father, I will go back as soon as I go."

At this moment, Princess Qinghe no longer showed any anger on her face, but instead nodded her head gently.And told Cheng Chuliang to be more careful.

This could not help but give Zheng Canghai a bad premonition.I feel like I've been tricked again.

So he hastily opened his mouth and said to Li Chengqian: "Then follow what His Royal Highness Xian Wang said, and take our old houses and His Highness Xian Wang to bet this round."

Before Li Chengqian agreed, there was a burst of drumming, accompanied by cheers and applause.Because the two teams have been divided.

At the moment just now, Li Ke's side missed the goal and Li Tai scored a goal.It is precisely because of this ball that Li Ke missed the Zhenguan Cup.

"It seems that we can't bet on this game, so we can only look for another chance." Li Chengqian said helplessly to Zheng Canghai.

After speaking, he and Li Shimin went to present the trophies to the winners, leaving Zheng Canghai and the others there.

……

"I just can't figure it out. What is the purpose of Li Chengqian's last play? Why does this old man think it's a little superfluous." Zheng Canghai said puzzled.

Although Li Shimin arranged a nice place for them, the table was full of good wine, good food, delicacies from mountains and seas.

But this also couldn't make them laugh, after all, the loss this time was really too great.It can even be said that the accumulation of the family has been lost.

"Thousands of money have been lost, so what's the use of not caring about others?" The Patriarch of the Li family in Longxi asked Zheng Canghai with a cold face.

"Just because tens of thousands of dollars have already entered his pocket, why did he bring out Princess Qinghe to sing this play?" Zheng Canghai said.

"Could it be that he is going to give us a hope, and then destroy this hope in front of us. This is to show his sense of superiority in winning." The head of the Li family in Longxi said.

"No, Li Chengqian doesn't have this kind of character." The Patriarch of the Li family in Zhaojun said after shaking his head.

At this moment, Zheng Lun hurried in again.But before he could speak, he was kicked by Zheng Canghai.

This kid hasn't sent any good news in this period of time, as long as he rushed in in a panic.There must have been something unlucky.

Sure enough, Zheng Lun rubbed his buttocks and said: "Father is not well, the people outside Chang'an City were brought by Cheng Chuliang to Lian Wo Duan."

"He, Cheng Chuliang, has gone crazy. Does he not want to live by killing someone for no reason?" Zheng Canghai asked heart-piercingly.

"It's not that Cheng Chuliang is killing the good and pretending to be meritorious, but we have buried them ourselves. This is what you said is superfluous." The head of the Li family in Zhaojun said after shaking his head.
