Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

However, when his eyes passed over the calligraphy class, he found that all the people and dogs in the calligraphy class had arrived, except for the leader named Guo.

Duo Chiluo thought to himself, could it be that this person was seriously injured by arsenic yesterday, so he cannot participate in the competition?

Just as he guessed in his mind, Guo Ye still appeared in his line of sight, arriving late, and slowly walking towards the camp of the calligraphy class.

Although Duo Chiluo didn't like it, when he saw Guo Ye's face was very ugly, pale and bloodless, his left arm was wrapped in a white bandage, and there were blood stains, and he was limping when he walked, he was extremely embarrassed.

The unhappiness in Duo Chiluo's heart dissipated immediately, he laughed rather gloatingly, and gave Guo Ye a provocative look.

Coincidentally, Guo Ye's eyes were also looking at him.

As soon as the eyes of the two collided, they stared at each other for a long time. During the stalemate, there was a tendency for enemies to be extremely jealous when they met.

After about a while, Duo Chiluo still had a huge plan in mind, so he didn't bother to deal with Guo Ye's hatred, but turned his head away and reorganized his thoughts.

Guo Ye's left arm was bandaged again, and he limped and appeared on stage again, which naturally attracted everyone's attention.

Especially the members of the calligraphy class surrounded him, chattering and asking non-stop.

Guo Ye consciously wanted to do a complete set of plays, and then concealed it from everyone, lying that an assassin sneaked into the mansion yesterday, intending to assassinate him and take his life.

As soon as this news came out, the dozens of people in the calligraphy class felt like they had stabbed a hornet's nest.

For a moment, more than a dozen people were filled with righteous indignation, and took the initiative to focus their hatred and anger on the Tubo ten-member group and Dochiluo.

Any fool can guess that at such a critical moment in this competition, only the Tubo people can jump over the wall in a hurry and do this vicious thing of drawing wages from the bottom of the pot.

Among them, Cheng Huaiyi, the son of Cheng Yaojin's family, was already very angry. He picked up a big rock on the ground and threatened to go up to argue with Duo Chiluo on the spot.

Wei Shuyu, Fang Yi'ai, and Li Shaozhi, who feared the world would not be chaotic, clamored even more that they would not let these Tubo people leave Chang'an City alive.

Guo Ye grabbed Cheng Huaiyi, stopped his recklessness, and said softly: "Don't be impulsive, winning today's game is the most important thing."

Qin Huaiyu and Changsun Yumo supported Cheng Huaiyi, one on the left and one on the right, and suppressed this guy's actions.

However, the news that Guo Ye was assassinated and injured in the mansion last night was still spread, and the news flew in the air as if he had grown wings.

Soon, thousands of spectators in the entire field received the news, and there were many discussions, one after another.

Even Prince Li Chengqian, Jiangxia King Li Daozong, Minister of Rites Li Gang and others on the judging table have all received wind.

Ma Yuanju didn't know the truth, and when he heard that Guo Ye was assassinated and injured, he immediately listed the Tubo people as the first suspects.

Looking at Dardanelle, who was pretending to be nothing, with an unfriendly expression, he snorted, "Scheming in secret, being sneaky and shameless, acting like a villain, bah~"

hold head high?

Although Dardanelle's face was a little unnatural, he still pretended to be calm and counterattacked: "Master Ma, what do you mean? Do you think we Tibetans would do this kind of trick to assassinate our opponents? Don't forget, we Tibetans People are notoriously good men who keep their promises. You don't want to wrong people, otherwise, I will complain to His Majesty the Emperor of your country and let him clean up our wrongs."

Ma Yuanju saw that Dardanelle was so brazen and pretended to be innocent to himself. Damn it, he was so angry that he spat: "Sophistry! Sophistry!! If you want people to know, you have to do nothing, shameless Dogs..."

Dardanelle was ashamed and flustered by Ma Yuanju's words, but he still refused to admit it: "You still say? You are framing!"

After all, Dardanelle yelled to Li Chengqian aggrievedly: "His Royal Highness, the wise prince of the Tang Dynasty, you must clarify for me and other foreign envoys!"

Xiao Shen, who was secretly happy and gloating for a while, could not help interjecting: "Maybe this is a misunderstanding? There is no evidence, how can Mr. Ma accuse others with empty teeth? Besides, the envoy of Dardanelle is His Majesty's distinguished guest." , Master Ma can’t be so negligent, can he?”

Li Chengqian subconsciously glanced at his good teacher Li Gang. Old Li was squinting his eyes and thinking about this, as if he hadn't heard the quarrel in the judge's seat.

Li Chengqian, who lost his mind for a while, didn't know how to make a conclusion, only heard——

Jiang Xia Wang Li Daozong, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly said: "Okay, don't make guesses without evidence. Guo Ye in this calligraphy class is not a human being, is he okay? Look at the sky, the time is coming soon, right? It's time to proceed." It's a game, it's not good to miss the time!"

"That's right, that's right, Uncle Jiangxia Wang is right." Li Chengqian, the unlucky prince, listened to Jiangxia Wang's interruption, it was like rain from the sky, and he put this endless matter in the past, and then rushed to Ma Yuanju and Dada Neil said to both sides, "The time has come, the game is about to start, don't argue. After the game, let's talk about other things."

After all, without giving the two of them a chance to continue arguing, they shouted at the eunuch who was in charge of hosting the competition: "Come here, the time has come, let's announce the start!"

"Here!!"

The eunuch master of ceremonies received the password from His Royal Highness, raised his right arm high, and sang: "The time has come, get ready to start!!!"

"Wait~~"

Suddenly, in the Tubo camp, Duo Chiluo suddenly interrupted the start of the eunuch's ceremonies, ran up to the judging table, and shouted at Prince Li Chengqian:

"His Royal Highness the Great Tang Prince, I have something to say!"

Li Chengqian glanced at this annoying little prince of Fanbang with disgust, feeling a little annoyed in his heart, yesterday you wanted to suspend the match, the crown prince has already agreed to it, and it gave you enough face; today is about to start the match and you are interrupted by you again, what on earth are you going to do? ?

In the presence of a large crowd, Li Chengqian was not easy to lose his temper, suppressed his impatience, and asked with a forced smile: "Young Lord Duochiluo, what else do you want?"

Duo Chiluo laughed dryly, exchanged glances with Dardanelle, and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince of the Tang Dynasty, it is not easy for us to come to the Tang Dynasty, and today's game is the last round, and we will soon be able to divide Win or lose. With such a rare opportunity, how about we take advantage of the last round and both sides bet on something, how about a gamble?"

what?

Li Chengqian was stunned by Duo Chiluo's idea, and asked puzzledly, "Bet a game? Are you with me?"

"No, no, no." Duo Chiluo shook his head with a smile, and said, "It's not that you and I gamble, but that my Tubo country is willing to take advantage of the last game to gamble with your country!"

"what?"

Li Chengqian was frightened by Duo Chiluo's shocking words, he exclaimed unsteadily, stood up straight from his seat, and looked at Duo Chiluo in disbelief.

A game of dog fighting requires countries to gamble against each other. Isn't this what a foolish king did? It's too child's play?

On the other hand, Jiangxia King Li Daozong's eyes flashed a stern look, he stared at Dochiluo who was uttering wild words, and asked with great interest: "Young Lord Dochiluo, I wonder what you Tubo Kingdom wants to bet with our Tang Dynasty? Money? Porcelain? Tea? Or a woman?"

"No no no no……"

Duo Chiluo raised his index finger, swayed in front of Jiangxia King Li Daozong, turned around and pointed to the far southwest direction, and said word by word:

"Just bet on the... cities... pools of our two countries!!!"

Bass~

As soon as the words fell, even the calm Jiangxia King Li Daozong was startled by Duo Chiluo's words. The arrogant and confident Tubo prince in front of him actually wanted to represent Tubo and gamble with the Tang Dynasty.

This, this damn, it's a good thing he figured it out!

At this time, Li Daozong, the most senior in the field, did not dare to be the master, and Li Chengqian, the most respected prince of the Tang Dynasty, also did not dare to be the master.

Gambling in the city, two countries fighting dogs and gambling in the city, is this going to be a big joke in the world?

Li Gang, who closed his eyes and rested his mind, was also trembling and sweating from fright, and he kept persuading behind Li Chengqian in a low voice: "Your Highness, don't make any claims, this is not something you can decide, the king is the king." , reserve is reserve, absolutely must not overstep!"

Just when everyone couldn't make a decision for a while, they were forced into a dilemma by the little Tubo prince Duo Chiluo.

suddenly,
