Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 186 Silently entered the game

Chunlou,

yard.

The chief steward was also relieved to see that the master had come, and hastily arranged for a steward to watch over here, and he led the people up to the fourth floor with their stomachs upright.

Jogging all the way to the outside of the box of Zhongshun Prince Zhou Yunzhen, panting heavily,

He knocked on the door and said to the inside of the box;

"My lord, everyone is here."

Zhou Yunzhen stretched and stood up when he heard the words of the chief steward outside the door, and asked,
"Well, is the Kang family, the commander of the imperial army, here?"

"Returning to the son, the commander-in-chief didn't come, but Kang Mengyu from Baoninghou's mansion came, but he didn't come up, and sat in the hall on the first floor."

"Understood, this is the usual style of the imperial army's Kang family. Don't worry about him, just arrange it and start."

"Yes, Son"

Upon hearing this, the chief steward turned and left.

Zhang Jinyu returned to the box, and saw the three girls still eating fruit and talking quietly around the table.

Zhang Jinyu was also polite, and came to the three women smelling of alcohol, and directly took the tea in front of the three of them and drank it, bowl after bowl.

After drinking three bowls, I feel more comfortable. Grandma's, this wine is okay, it has such a strong stamina, and I don't know if the Marquis of Xiangyang can hold on.

At this time,
On the high platform on the first floor, there was a strong man holding a copper gong and knocked hard,
"when"

In an instant, the noise in the entire Chunlou became much quieter, and the windows on the fourth floor were opened instantly. Zhang Jinyu brought the three girls to the window to look down,

The fences on the second and third floors were also crowded with people. Seeing that people had gathered, the chief manager signaled the strong man to knock again.

"when"

Another sound.

Chunlou immediately settled down, and those present, if they were officials from the capital city or noble families, would definitely recognize this person as one of the chief stewards of Prince Zhongshun's residence, and they all kept silent.

At this time, the chief steward stepped onto the high platform and shouted loudly;

"Gentlemen, please be quiet. The next thing is our spring building's big happy event for a year. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the capital competition, we will hold a winter meeting in the spring building to choose the oiran for the coming year. Besides, the big competition will also To rank first, second, and third, the bet is [-] to [-], and you can place bets at will. This time, there are five major chambers of commerce in the capital and Yichun Court as guarantees, and there is no upper limit. You officials should keep your eyes open and lose No responsibility. Bring things up."

I saw a huge screen moved out from the back of the high platform, covered with a whole piece of brocade cloth, divided into twelve areas, each of which was written with the affiliation of each department participating in the competition, the first was the Imperial Army, the second was the Beijing Camp, and then the The name of the frontier army of the nine provinces is the last of the frontier army outside the pass.

Upstairs, Zhang Jinyu looked at the same operation as a child playing house below, which was a bit ridiculous, but the third daughter was full of interest, and Lan Yueer was still complaining;

"Lang Jun, why did they put the troops outside the pass at the end?"

Zhang Jinyu listened and said nonchalantly;

"Do you still believe this, the big competition is not their ranking, and besides, isn't our outside the customs closed recently? In the end, it is a matter of course, the previous ones have already been there."

"That's true."

Lan Yueer responded foolishly.

The fact is also the same, the Chunlou ranking was written by King Zhongshun himself, so it is naturally thoughtful.

After hearing Zhang Jinyu's explanation, the three women suddenly realized, and looked down again.

I saw the chief steward walking towards the screen, stopped at a blank space under each frontier, and said;
"Everyone, did you see that the blank space under the screen is the leading generals of the various ministries participating in the performance. This time, the upstart generals in our Dawu court are on stage. Of course, this is temporarily kept secret if it is not written. Presumably the psychic has already known about it. So for the sake of fairness, I will briefly introduce this steward here, so that all officials can make bold bets."

I don't know who shouted, "Okay."

The atmosphere in the whole Chunlou suddenly became lively.

Seeing this, Zhang Jinyu immediately thought of a word, please.

The three girls flushed with joy when they saw this. Zhang Jinyu looked at the other windows, and they were surrounded by people, staring intently at the high platform below.

Shaking his head secretly, he returned to the table, poured a bowl of tea and drank it.

On the opposite side, Jia Zhen and Jia Lian, with Jia Baoyu, also stretched their heads and looked down, their eyes were also strangely tight.

Jia Baoyu looked around wildly and asked;
"Brother Zhen, do you think we should make a bet this time?"

Jia Zhen is also very interested, this can be played for a while, if the betting is accurate, it can also be used as a talking point, so she said;
"You can have some. Second brother Lian, tell my brother the truth, how confident do you think you are this time?"

Jia Lian was also a little interested, but when Jia Zhen asked her how confident she was, she had no idea. The first one was hopeless, but the second or third one was about the same. The Beijing camp is definitely not weak, and the top three still have hope Yes, he nodded and replied;

"Brother Zhen, Baoyu, to say that this number one is bragging, I am not sure, but there is still a place for the top three."

Jia Zhen was surprised when she heard this, she couldn't be bragging, if it's true that Jingying can get the top three, she hesitated to ask;
"Brother Lian can't lie to me, when did this Jingying become so strong?"

Seeing the disbelief on Jia Zhen's face, Jia Lian also shook his head and explained,
"Brother Zhen, if you don't believe me, there is nothing you can do. The 30 people in the Beijing camp can't make up a few elite battalions. This time, I personally brought them to the field. Besides, Brother Zhen, do you think our Jia family can bet on others to win? It must only be in the Beijing camp."

It was only then that Jia Zhen realized that, yes, if the Jia family bet, they could only bet on the Beijing camp, so they didn't say anything.

Of course, the other frontier generals also reacted, only lamenting King Zhongshun's good tricks, and Kang Mengyu, the deputy commander of the forbidden army next to the high platform on the first floor, also reacted, secretly said, amazing.

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting better, the senior manager of Gaotai took the gong and knocked on it;
"when"

It was quiet in the building.

With a big belly, the big steward patted the red padded jacket and said loudly;

"Thank you for your support. Please be quiet now. Let me first introduce the first one to participate in the performance. It is the Imperial Guard, the leader of the Imperial Army, and the deputy commander Kang Mengyu. The second is the Jingying in the capital. The leaders are Wang Ren, Jia Lian, and the third One is the Shuoyang Frontier Army, led by Niu Jizong, the fourth is the Yunzhong Frontier Army, led by Chen Ruiwen, the fifth is the Beihe Frontier Army, led by Liu Fang, and the sixth is the Beiyuan Frontier Army, led by Ma Shang, the seventh is Shi Guangzhu, the leader of the Bingbei Army, the eighth is the leader of the Northern Shanxi Army, Hou Xiaolian, the ninth is the leader of the Yunyang Frontier Army, and the leader is Hou Xiuqing, and the tenth is the leader of the Shanyang Frontier Army. Zheyang Baoqing, number 11 is the Beiyun Frontier Army, led by Jiang Chucheng, and the last Guanwai Border Army, led by Zhang Jinyu."

Upstairs, the eldest son Zhou Yunzhen suddenly said;
"Come here, tell the big manager that the odds have increased to five times, one pays five, and each guesses the position and bets."

"Yes, son."

One of the guards hurriedly went down to communicate, but the chief steward wanted to continue talking, but was pulled away by the deputy steward at the side. The chief steward immediately looked down, only to see the royal guard waiting anxiously.

The chief manager naturally knew that there was something to do, so he said to the building;

"Everyone, think carefully about who to bet on first. I'll go down and have some tea first."

Before anyone could react, he ran down the high platform, and the guards immediately came to convey the meaning of the son, and the chief manager nodded and responded;
"Go back and tell the son, the old slave knows, and it must be done properly."

"Yes, the chief steward, the words must be brought."

The guard went back after conveying the message, and the chief steward straightened his clothes and went on stage again.

"Everyone, there are some changes this time. The betting odds this time is [-] to [-], and the bet is on the ranking. If you are right, you will lose [-] to [-], and there will be no delay."

As soon as the words were finished, the people in the Chunlou were whispering and discussing, and more people were ready to move. Bai Shuiyue on the second floor heard the words and whispered;

"Junior sister, what do you think you can win outside the pass?"

Wang Shihan smiled contemptuously;
"It must be the first, and there is no need to ask."

When Bai Shuiyue heard the words, she just stared at Wang Shihan without saying a word, with an expression of obvious disbelief.

on the high platform,
The steward shouted again;

"Everyone, start betting now. If you need it, go to the bottom of the high platform. Do you see those tables? You can get your ticket back after you bet. After the competition, the winner will take this ticket to the Spring Tower to exchange. Before that, it is still Please ask the army commanders to place their bets first."

After saying this, Chunlou was silent for a while, and everyone looked up, knowing that the master was upstairs.

King Beijing's Shui Rong's expression changed, he said secretly that he was powerful, and King Zhongshun was not afraid that those generals would make trouble for him in the future.

Mu Shi, the king of Dongping County, was very surprised. When did King Zhongshun be so bold? This can be regarded as defeating those generals. Looking down, the clothes of the forbidden army on the first floor are very eye-catching.

There is a good show in the secret channel.

Others are also full of thoughts.

Hearing this, Zhang Jinyu almost spit out the tea in his mouth, good guy, there was an explosion when he came up, and he also hurriedly got up and walked to the window, wanting to see how the forbidden army behaves, this is the forbidden army first.

At this time, Kang Mengyu, the deputy commander of the imperial army on the first floor, looked at the steward on the high platform with a livid face, and the guards behind him also looked ugly.

The head guard asked from behind;

"Commander, what should we do?"

Seeing the eyes of many people looking over, Kang Mengyu knew that he must not retreat at this time, he was representing the imperial army, and it was a pity that Kang recognized it.

cold voice;
"Sit in peace and see what the bird man has to say."

The steward on the high platform also shivered following Kang Mengyu's cold gaze, but he just bit the bullet and continued;
"Then, first of all, I will introduce the imperial guards of the Great Inner Army. This is the elite of the Dawu Royal Family. They are responsible for the security of the capital. The Imperial Army used to quell the rebellion of the White Lotus Sect. They broke through three cities in one night and killed the defenders of the White Lotus. It is the addition of [-] elite cavalry, which is the core force of Dawu Capital."

Following the detailed introduction of the chief steward.

The surrounding people also took a breath of air, especially the secret envoys from the feudal kingdom, who were all dressed in Dawu's costumes and secretly hidden among them. It was unbelievable to hear people on the stage introduce the forbidden army like this.

among them,

The special envoys of the Ye country, the Meng country, and the Ukrainian country in the south sat on the second floor, and they also looked at each other. They got up in tacit understanding and took the warriors to squeeze into the fence. They all felt the importance of this trip. .

On the third floor, there are also many businessmen from the Western Regions who also came here to wait and see. It is really miserable for the Western Regions to be invaded by the Xianbei people. Therefore, under the entrustment of the lords of the fourteen countries in the Western Regions, many Western Regions merchants risked being The Xianbei people discovered the danger and entered Dawu by detour, and they sought help with their mission and credentials.
