People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 694
In the east of Chang'an City, Jinggong Square was crowded with people, and several tall horses came slowly from a distance.

Li Xuan, who was the leader, slowly heaved and fell with the horse, with a cold expression on his face.

Li Zhu and the others around stood by Li Xuan's side, with their hands on the handle of the knife, and their cold gaze made those who were about to touch porcelain dare not make any rash moves.

This is Jinggongfang, the place of Cuju in Chang'an City, there has always been a mixed population, there are all kinds of religions and nine streams, and cheating and abduction have been repeatedly prohibited.

At the ball court, at the wide gate, Li Xuan got off her horse.

Glancing at the vast courtyard walls, as well as the pavilions and pavilions inside, and the faint shouts and shouts, Li Xuan's expression became more and more indifferent.

"Let's go!" Li Xuan was wearing a black gold silk robe, with her hands on the hilt of the Eight-faced Han Sword, and strode forward.

The visitor at the gate of the ball court immediately came up with a smile: "May I ask where the distinguished guest is from, do you have an invitation card?"

"Invitation card?" Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, and the next moment, he heard a "choke", and Li Zhu at the side quickly drew his knife, and the water-like blade was already placed on the neck of the welcoming guest.

The guest was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that someone would draw a knife without saying a word, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Honored guest, honored guest..."

Li Xuan glanced at him coldly, and asked in a low voice, "Is King Ying here today?"

"King of England?" The visitor looked blank, as if he really didn't know that Li Xian was here.

"This is the distinguished guest who made the most bold move, take us there." Li Xuan waved his hand, Li Zhu immediately pushed hard, and the welcoming guest was immediately pushed into the door.

The guards around had already put their hands on the handle of the knife at this time, ready to draw it at any time.

At this time, the welcoming guests inside secretly waved their hands.

He has a wink, and he saw at a glance, the white jade with python pattern hanging on Li Xuan's waist, and immediately guessed Li Xuan's approximate identity.

After waving the surrounding guards to retreat, the welcoming guest smiled wryly and cupped his hands: "Dear guest, we have rules here, and we can't disclose the information of the guests at will."

"Oh!" Li Xuan gave him a cold look, turned around and said to Li Zhu: "Then don't bother him, go, call a team of Jinwu guards on the street, and seal this place first... Really You are so bold that you dare to instigate the current prince to gamble, everyone wants to taste what it's like to flow three thousand miles, right?"

"Honored guest, honored guest!" Yingke hurried over to stop Li Zhu, and said with a wry smile: "Your honored guest, spare your life, I really don't know where His Royal Highness is."

"Huh?" Li Xuan's expression turned cold instantly.

The welcoming guest hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "But the most generous guest who came today is now in the Lanting Pavilion."

"Lead the way." Li Xuan glanced at the visitor, then looked up into the courtyard, and saw tall pines and cypresses, and a lot of pavilions.

There are countless servants and maids walking back and forth in the courtyard, and in the deepest part of the courtyard, the sound of constant shouting can be heard clearly.

"Guests please!" Yingke took the lead to lead the way, and when he turned around, he had already secretly winked at the servant in a corner of the courtyard.

In a blink of an eye, the boy had turned around and disappeared, and he didn't know where he went.

Li Xuan didn't care about all of this, she walked forward quickly, and the visitor who walked slower immediately fell behind Li Xuan.

Seeing that Li Xuan was heading in the right direction, the corner of the welcoming guest's mouth twitched slightly. He hurried forward and asked respectfully, "Your guest is familiar with this place, but you have been here before?"

Li Xuan glanced at the visitor indifferently, ignored him at all, and walked directly towards the Lanting Pavilion.

The receptionist could only follow behind with a bitter face.

The Orchid Pavilion, dubbed the Orchid Pavilion, is surrounded by lush forests and bamboos, but there are pots of orchids, which are a bit arty.

As soon as Li Xuan came to the door, she heard shouts from inside: "Number three, hurry up, hurry up, number one, hit the door, hit the door, oops!"

Li Xuan naturally knew that among the many shouts, the loudest one was the King of England, Li Xian.

Li Xuan suppressed the anger in his heart, looked to one side, his face was a little embarrassed to welcome the guests.

Li Xuan said lightly: "Call!"

The guest was taken aback for a moment, at this moment, Li Zhu stepped forward and shouted loudly: "Young Minister of Honglu Temple, King of Nanchang County, to..."

……

Li Xian sat among the crowd. In front of him was the large window sill and the vast playground in the backyard.

At this moment, on the playground in the backyard, the red and blue teams are sprinting fiercely, holding horse poles, waving vigorously, constantly snatching and slapping the ball on the ground.

Every horse sprints wildly, and every rider swings hard.

Sometimes, he would even "inadvertently" hit the opponent, and with all his strength, his bones would be broken immediately.

But soon, there will be backups jumping on the horse, rushing to the field immediately, and fighting fiercely.

Li Xian's eyes were fixed on the forward of the red team who was sprinting forward, and he kept yelling loudly through gritted teeth: "Hit the door, hit the door, oops..."

Li Xian looked annoyed as he watched the ball slide past the door.

Leaning back a little, looking at the people around him, he said with some annoyance: "It seems that this king is going to pay again today."

"The red team's feet are not going well today, the prince rests for now, and tomorrow, he will definitely kill the Quartet." Wearing a dark green robe, the person who leaned over and spoke was Cui Zhou, a child of the Cui family in Qinghe, I don't know whose parents Yu Yin was. , got him a loose official from the seventh rank, and hang out with Li Xian
Li Xian had no choice but to sigh, "That's the only way to go."

Many dudes from various families around him immediately bowed to laugh with him.

At this moment, a loud shout suddenly came from the door: "Young Minister of Honglu Temple, King of Nanchang, arrive..."

"27 Uncle Wang is here, just to accompany this king..." Li Xian turned back with a smile, and halfway through his words, he suddenly froze: "No, now is the time to be on duty. You came here on your own, why did you come here suddenly, it’s not good... Hurry up, hurry up!"

"Scatter what?" Li Xuan came from downstairs with a cold voice, and then walked up to the second floor with the Eight-faced Han Sword in hand.

They only followed to greet the guests, but Li Zhu and the others were left outside.

Seeing Li Xian surrounded by everyone, Li Xuan frowned, then directly cupped his hands and said, "Nanchang Wang Xuan, I have seen His Royal Highness King Ying."

Li Xian immediately stood up, and hurriedly bowed his hands to return the salute: "Xian has seen Uncle Wang, I don't know if Uncle Wang is here for something?"

Li Xuan stood up straight, her cold gaze swept over the faces of everyone present.

These are the children of the major families in Chang'an and Luoyang. The rich children of the Wei family, the Cui family, the Du family, the Pei family, the Xue family and many other families have accompanied Li Xian to mess around here.

Li Xuan took a step forward, walked through the crowd, and walked directly to the opposite side.

A young man hurriedly stood up to give up his seat, Li Xuan nodded, and then sat down on his seat, looking at Li Xian with a cold expression: "I heard that His Highness spent a lot of money in the ball court today, and I was originally thinking about what to do. Now that I think about it, if His Highness is willing to draw his sword to help, there will be no embarrassment in the court, and His Majesty and the Queen of Heaven will be very pleased when they know about it."

"Uncle Wang!" Li Xian hurriedly cupped his hands and begged for mercy, "Uncle Wang, it's obviously just for fun."

"Just for fun, I sent out tens of thousands of money. Your Highness is really generous." Li Xuan turned around, looked at the people around, and said with a sneer: "You won't be the ones who won all the money from His Highness the King of England. right?"

"Ah!" Everyone present couldn't help being stunned at the same time, and then waved their hands almost at the same time: "No one dares, the villain dares not."

Also stunned was Li Xian, whether he was an idiot or not, Li Xuan made it clear immediately, and he immediately understood.

Li Xian turned around slowly and looked at the surrounding people, and said in disbelief: "All the money this king has lost these days has been won by you."

"No, no, there is absolutely no such thing as Your Highness." The people around quickly waved their hands, their expressions were already extremely nervous, but this expression just revealed the truth, and Li Xian's expression became more and more ugly.
"What they took is just a small one. They tricked you into coming here, and it's all for taking away your head. The one who really took the big one is the banker here." Li Xuan looked back, and with a simple sentence, the secret inside was revealed. .

Li Xian was so funny, the boy was playing around with Li Xian, and a piece of "The King's Chicken", directly ruined Wang Bo's official career all his life.

The most important thing is that Li Xian is a bit heartless, generous and bold, even if he knows that he has suffered a loss afterwards, he doesn't care about it.

Just a little money.

But you can't expose him in this matter back then. If you exposed it, it would be tantamount to embarrassing him.

Money is a trivial matter, but face is a major issue, especially for Li Xian.

Seeing Li Xian's face getting more and more embarrassing, at this moment, a voice came from the entrance of the building: "The King of Nanchang's words are wrong. Although His Royal Highness King Ying is not lucky today, but in the future, he will win a few times." back."

A handsome young man wearing a blue robe and looking like a scholar came up from below with a respectful and gentle expression.

The many disciples above stepped aside immediately, and the person who came came up to Li Xuan and Li Xian and said, "Du Zhongkang has met the King of Nanchang, and His Royal Highness the King of England."

"It turned out to be Jingzhao Du's Erlang." Li Xuan nodded coldly, then turned to look at Li Xian, and said, "Your Highness, do you know why I won more at the beginning, but then won less?"

"Is it bad luck?" Li Xian looked at Li Xuan carefully.

Li Xuan smiled, and said to Li Xian: "How about I make a bet with Your Highness today, just bet on all the money His Highness still has, and I guarantee that no matter what His Highness does, I will definitely lose."

"Undoubtedly lost?" Li Xian immediately sat up straight, looked at Li Xuan and said, "Uncle Wang said so, Xian is interested, I don't know what Uncle Wang wants to bet, so that Xian will definitely lose?"

"How about betting on his life?" Li Xuan raised his left hand, pointed directly at Du Zhongkang, and then said softly: "You might as well make a bet with Your Highness, this Erlang of the Du family will never survive tonight, if I win, Your Highness, please give all the money left on your body to the minister, if your highness wins, how much does your highness lose today, how about the minister paying it together?"

Li Xuan finished speaking directly, but everyone present was dumbfounded.

It's not that they haven't seen life betting before, but it's extremely rare to bet on the life of the gambling shop owner.

Li Xian didn't dare to say anything for a while, but Du Zhongkang, who was on the side, cupped his hands with a smile and said, "Why don't you bet with Your Highness?"

At this time, Du Zhongkang sat calmly on one side, then cupped his hands and said: "My uncle is now serving as Jinwu Guard Zuo Market, no matter what happens, his life will be safe."

"It turned out to be backed by the Jinwu Guards, no wonder this golf course can be made so big." Li Xuan smiled lightly, then took off the badge from her waist, put it on the table, looked up at the people around and said: " Can anyone please go to Zuoqianniuwei, and say that the king of Nanchang ordered to investigate the secret work of Tubo, and seized him in Jinggongfang Qiuyuan today, please send someone to search the Qiuyuan immediately, and at the same time, send someone to arrest him. The Jinwu Guard Zuojie envoy will be imprisoned, we will investigate and punish him for collaborating with the enemy."

After Li Xuan finished speaking, everyone present was stunned.

Unexpectedly, that's how he caught people.
