Daqin: Zulong's Traveling Frog

Chapter 286 Bet
Li Shiqi's face was solemn, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. This royal court was much bigger than he imagined, and it was probably not inferior to the Huns' royal court back then. From this point of view, the Maurya Dynasty didn't seem to want barbarians.

The governance system of the Maurya Dynasty is also relatively complete. It is not just a enfeoffment system like the Huns, but an ordinary county system, except that the chiefs of the counties are held by descendants of the royal family of the Maurya Dynasty.

It's just that the power is so concentrated that everyone wants to try their luck in front of the king. In order to dispel other people's desires, they can only kill them.

This is also the reason why Sarishuka killed hundreds of descendants of the royal family after he came to power, but Porona was the elder sister who supported her with one hand, but Sarishuka did not dare to kill the killer, not only because of the same blood relationship between their mothers, but also The important thing is that his sister once saved his life.

But after Sari Shuka came to power, he did not let his sister take up a half-official position, but asked his sister to be a diplomatic envoy, responsible for the diplomacy between the Mauryan Dynasty and other countries, but the final decision-making power still fell into the hands of Sari Shuka.

Moreover, Sari Shuka was good at forbearance, so that he finally stood out from the princes and successfully inherited the throne. He was a ruthless politician and a proper successor.

After stepping into the royal court, although it is not as luxurious as Daqin, it still has the magnificence of Daqin County City, and there are many treasures in it that Daqin can't see, which opened Li Shiqi and Han Xin's eyes.

A faint smile appeared on Li Shiqi's face, and he bowed deeply to the Peacock King Sheli Shuka, and said lightly, "I'm late, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

"Your envoy is serious, please sit down!" Sari Shuka did not put on airs, after all, he was an envoy of Daqin, and Daqin's comprehensive national strength has far surpassed them.

A few months ago, they wiped out the Xiongnu in one fell swoop. You must know that even if they had great abilities, they would not dare to fight against the Xiongnu. It was because of their surrender to the Xiongnu that the Western Qiang Kingdom dared to fight against the Maurya Dynasty and compete for land.

Therefore, Sari Shuka knew the details of the Qin Dynasty very well, so he was naturally respectful and respectful to the envoys of the Qin Dynasty, without any arrogance. After all, the envoys represented the Qin Dynasty, and he would never dare to offend him.

In the future battles with the Western Qiang Kingdom, Sarishuka will have to rely on the majesty of the Great Qin Dynasty to make the Western Qiang Kingdom suffer.

Even if it's a breakup, it's not now.

After watching Han Xin and Li Shiqi take their seats, Shari Shuka clarified his intentions: "Your envoy has been in the kingdom for many days, so he must know a lot about the kingdom. But this king knows very little about Daqin, and the soldiers under his command hope to be able to meet with them today." Great Qin had a friendly discussion to show Magadha's respect. I don't know your envoy."

Li Shiqi's heart seemed to be aroused by a storm, and his face was extraordinarily calm. This was the plan they had discussed in advance. The Peacock Dynasty and Daqin had a simple discussion to test each other's details.

It seems that Miss Porona has convinced the Peacock King.

Han Xin was eager and quick, and said first: "Coincidentally, my lord! The soldiers of my great Qin also want to have a friendly exchange with the soldiers of your country. I was about to speak, but I didn't expect to think of going together."

Han Xin's fists were clenched suddenly, and he wanted to compete with the Peacock Dynasty in martial arts. This was naturally what he thought in his heart. He was also worried that the Peacock King would not dare to agree to it because he was afraid of Daqin's strength. Obviously, he had already got his wish. It seems that the two countries should have a good discussion. up.

However, a cold light flashed in Li Shiqi's eyes, and he said coldly, "Since Your Majesty wants to compete, why don't we make a bet between our two countries?"

The ancient relic Shuka on the throne looked very embarrassed: How to place a bet?

Betting is a new term. It has never been seen in the Maurya Dynasty. After Li Shiqi explained it simply enough, Sheli Shuka laughed heartily, stroked his beard and said lightly, "That's very good!"

Gambling was a new term in the Maurya Dynasty. They had no gambling activities on weekdays, and they didn't know what gambling was. When Li Shiqi said this term, Shari Shuka showed a hint of surprise on his face.

After the explanation, Sari Shuka took a look at the big case, and said heartily: "As expected of Daqin, this king has really opened my eyes. It seems that I have learned a lot today!"

Seeing the reunification of Sari Shuka, Li Shiqi immediately clarified his intentions, and said calmly: "In this case, this envoy hopes that the Peacock King will bet on the Five Heavenly Lord of the Thunder Beast, and our country will also take out another Five Heavenly Lord of the Thunder Beast as a bet!"

As soon as these words came out, even Han Xin was shocked.

The Thunder Beast Five Heaven Lord is a supreme treasure no matter to that country, how can he desecrate his sanctity through gambling?
Besides, the two countries can regard the Thunder Beast Five Heavenly Lord as more important than life. Could it be that the Peacock King will easily agree?
However, Li Shiqi showed a meaningful smile. He concluded that Sari Shuka would never refuse. This Thunder Beast Five Heavens Lord was a treasure from the Western Zhou Dynasty, and Sari Shuka had been spying on the other one for a long time.

Sari Shuka originally inquired about the news and learned that the other one was in the Xiqiang Kingdom. He hoped to plunder the Thunder Beast Five Heavens Lord through a war, but he did not expect that the Xiqiang Kingdom would give such a supreme treasure to Daqin.

Now that the relics are so angry, the Thunder Beast Five Heavenly Lord may not be able to fall into his hands. The Peacock Dynasty is not qualified to negotiate with Daqin, and it is wrong to force Daqin to hand over the Thunderbeast Five Heavenly Lord as the capital of cooperation. possible!

But I didn't expect Li Shiqi to be so generous, and directly bet on the Thunder Beast Five Heavens Lord. This is really a luxurious bet!
Such a huge temptation was completely irresistible to Sari Shuka, and the huge benefits lured Sari Shuka to follow.

There was a smile on Sari Shuka's face, a cold arc formed on the corner of his mouth, and he said slowly: "Since the envoys of your country have said so, if we refuse, I am afraid it will be a bit uninteresting, and we have no choice but to agree!"

This bet was also the method that Li Shiqi came up with on the road. Only with the same amount of benefits as a bet could Sari Shuka bet on the Thunder Beast Five Heavenly Lord. Only the other one was too tempting for him.

Furthermore, Sari Shuka had a natural sense of pride. He concluded that the Maurya Dynasty would never lose. Now that Daqin was about to eat his head, another Thunder Beast, the Five Heavenly Lord, would soon fall into the hands of the Maurya Dynasty.

However, Daqin's strength is not bad at all, and Han Xin has undergone rigorous training, so it is not sure who will win.

But in any case, such a bet has paid a huge price. The winning party will get two statues, while the losing party will get nothing.

Therefore, Han Xin's complexion gradually became solemn, and a trace of murderous intent burst out in Sari Shuka's eyes.

Although it is a friendly exchange, once the bet is placed, it will be a life-and-death duel.
