Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 147
The next day, on the outskirts of Zhaoguan, the originally huge venue became a simple racetrack.

In addition to the strong-armed princes, nobles and soldiers from the Wu and Chu countries, there were also businessmen and scholars from the past who gathered at the venue to watch this unprecedented horse racing event.
"Boom!"

With the waving of the command flag, the driver who had been ready to go immediately swung his whip, slapped the horse's buttocks, and then drove away at a gallop.

Accompanied by the sound of rumbling horseshoes, smoke and dust filled the sky!
This horse race is no longer a bet between Wu and Chu. In the periphery, many wealthy businessmen and scholars are betting.

"Boom boom boom!"

The dull and slightly depressing sound of the war drum was very loud, and the soldiers in charge of beating the drum were shirtless, beating the war drum vigorously, as if they were motivating their own soldiers and horses to charge forward.

In this way, the horse-drawn carriages that were originally on the same starting line gradually pulled away, and Shangsi from the Chu Kingdom crossed the finish line first and won the victory!
"Hahahaha! A certain expectation is good! Chu Si is even better!"

"Hmph, you don't want to be rampant, Chu Si just won one round, two out of three rounds, it's not yet known who will win the game!"

"Is your mouth hard? Hehe, according to the above discussion, Wu Si is far behind Chu Si by more than ten parking spaces, and the rest of the middle Si and Xia Si are not generalized?"

"Oh, I have pity on that ten gold, it's a wrong bet!"

Seeing the gap between Chu Si and Wu Si, some people in the crowd were happy while others were worried.

Those who bet on the side of Chu State smiled happily, while those who bet on the side of Wu State had a look of dejection.

And on Sifangtai, seeing Chu's top horse crushing Wu's horse, Meng Ying couldn't help smiling and said: "King Wu, all of them are top horses. It seems that Wu horse's foot strength is far inferior to my Chu horse's foot strength." also."

"The outcome is undecided, please wait and see."

Qingji looked very calm, not panicking at all.

This made Meng Ying more or less depressed!
However, in her opinion, Qingji is just a stubborn duck who doesn't want to admit defeat!

Not long after, the second horse race officially began.

I saw the command flag waved down, Wu Si and Chu Si galloped out at the same time, less than halfway, Wu Si had already left Chu Si by a parking space, and was far ahead, crossing the finish line first!

"This……"

Meng Ying was very surprised.

Is it possible that Wu's Zhongsi is really better than Chu's Zhongsi?

Or just a fluke?
Without waiting for Meng Ying to think about it, the third horse race came one after another.

"Boom!"

The speeding army chariot set off billows of smoke and dust.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, in the fiery eyes of everyone, Wu Si took the first step and crossed the finish line!

Seeing this scene, including Meng Ying, all Chu people, or merchants who bet on Chu's side, couldn't help but widen their eyes, looking in disbelief.

Wu Guo actually won?

How can it be!

Meng Ying was deeply puzzled.

"Chu Wang, Guotai, accept, accept."

As the winner, Qing Ji did not get carried away with complacency, but said to Xiong Zhen and Meng Ying in a calm manner.

Regarding this, Meng Ying could only forcefully smile and say: "King Wu is polite. The Ai family is willing to admit defeat. Since Wu Si has won, the Ai family should offer a thousand pieces of gold."

Qingji nodded slightly.

Meng Ying still has this bit of integrity!

She lost the horse race, she had to admit it!

At this time, Duke Donggao stepped forward suddenly and asked suspiciously: "King Wu, I have something that I don't understand. I wonder if King Wu can explain it?"

"Old man, it's okay to say."

"Old horses are never allowed to make mistakes. Could it be that the old eyes are dizzy this time? The three horses in Wu and Chu were all selected by the old man. With the eyesight of the old man, the Wu State's horse is not as good as the Chu State's horse, at least in terms of momentum. One chip."

Duke Donggao was puzzled and said, "Why did the Wu side win?"

Hearing this, Qingji replied very frankly: "Old man, to tell you the truth, the winner of the Wu Kingdom is suspected of opportunism."

"In terms of pure horse racing among the upper, middle and lower horses, the country of Wu is indeed inferior to the country of Chu. However, the widow compares the horses under Wu to the horses above Chu, the horses above Wu to the horses under Chu, and the horses under Wu to the horses under Chu. Si."

"There is almost no difference between Wu Si and Chu Si, losing one game and winning two games, giving up one game and gaining two games, why can't we win?"

"I see."

Dong Gaogong was relieved now!

What happened just now made him mistakenly think that he was mistaken!

At this moment, Shen Zhuliang, who heard the truth of the matter, couldn't bear it, stood up and questioned Qingji, saying: "Wu Wang's behavior is so invincible?"

"What's the point of horse racing?"

Hearing this, Qingji just smiled lightly and said, "Shen Zi's words are wrong. In the system of horse racing, there is no saying that the lower horses are not against the top horses, the middle horses are not against the bottom horses, and the top horses are not against the middle horses. ?”

"This... nothing."

Shen Zhuliang couldn't refute Qingji.

After all, there is no such statement in the rules of horse racing!

Qingji is just opportunistic, not foul!
However, Qingji's approach is indeed somewhat despicable.

So Shen Zhuliang said with hatred again: "Well, isn't King Wu despicable for acting like this? Are you not afraid of being laughed at by the world?"

"mean?"

Qing Ji shook his head and said, "No way. Shen Zi, horse racing is like a war, and soldiers, why do you hate cheating?"

"If there was a battle between Chu and Song in Hongshui in the past, wouldn't your country also take advantage of Song Xianggong's half-crossing and fail to attack, and defeat the Song army?"

"..."

Qing Ji's remarks really left Shen Zhuliang speechless.

After all, Chu State did not do enough in the battle of Hongshui!

At that time, the Song army was stationed on the north bank, and the Chu army began to cross the river from the south bank.

The "Overlord of Benevolence and Righteousness" Song Xianggong ignored the opposition of his minister Ziyu and insisted on attacking without crossing the river. slumped.

Soldiers never tire of cheating, Chu has done this kind of thing more than once!
In the Yudi alliance, Song Xianggong refused to listen to the faithful advice, insisted on lightly dressed and went to the meeting place, but was caught by the dishonest Chu army.

If Duke Xi of Lu did not mediate, Duke Xiang of Song would have died at the hands of the Chu people, or would have been exiled to another country.

Therefore, even if Qingji did not abide by the rules and did not keep faith with the state of Chu, most people in the world would not criticize him.

What's more, there is no such "tactic" of celebrating Ji in the rules of horse racing?
Shameless!
Shen Zhuliang could only curse secretly in his heart, and then backed away.

At this time, if you fight against Qingji again, you will just bring yourself to humiliate yourself!

Meng Ying was already aware of this, so according to the previous bet, he asked someone to raise a thousand gold and gift it to Qingji.

In order to appease Qingji and show friendship, Meng Ying also invited Qingji to conduct a hunt tomorrow, that is, "Xia Miao", so that Chu State can show the friendship of the landlord.

Qingji did not refuse.

After all, it is rare to meet once, so celebrating Jiquan should be a trip to relax!

However, in this seemingly peaceful atmosphere, there is an undercurrent surging in private...
