Chapter 1281: Tian Ji races a horse

Views:

A village outside Linzi city!

After some inquiring, a fact was finally determined: Bian Que was arrested.

"What should we do, Mr. Zhuang Zhou, what should we do now?" The medical disciples suddenly turned around anxiously.

Medical disciples are not known for their fighting prowess. Otherwise, so many medical disciples would not have been forced into desperation by a little plague king.

Now, the leader of the medical family, Bian Que, is the strongest person in the medical family. He has been caught and he doesn't know what to do.

The medical disciples all looked at Zhuang Zhou. After all, Zhuang Zhou and Bian Que were good friends from what they had seen before.

"Chun Yukun, are you waiting for me and my husband to take the bait?" Sun Bin frowned.

Sun Bin was not afraid of death, but Chun Yukun sent someone to inform the medical disciples. It was obvious that Bian Que's identity was exposed, the medical family was also exposed, and everyone was no longer safe.

More importantly, even Bian Que was arrested, who could be Chunyu Kun's opponent

Not to mention Chunyu Kun, even the Bird Demon King at the sixteenth level of Da Luo Jinxian is no match, right

No, let’s not talk about the Bird Demon King. The ordinary Bird Demon army, an army of ten thousand Bird Demons, can wipe out everyone here. What’s more, Chunyu Kun’s Bird Demon Space has an army of tens of millions of Bird Demons.

This, this is simply an egg hitting a rock.

Zhuang Zhou fell into deep thought.

"Zhuang Zhou, don't be rash!" Tian Ji advised.

"Zhuang Zhou, Chunyu Kun, has won the hearts of the people, I'm afraid...!" Hui Shi also worried.

"Mr. Sun, I remember that in your book on war, you once mentioned that 'all warriors use right combination to win by surprise'?" Zhuang Zhou looked at Sun Bin.

"Yes, this is the art of war. Sir, you regard it as a war. That's the best. However, the prerequisite for Zhenghe and Qi Sheng is that we must have enough troops, enough to compete with the opponent. Then Chunyu Kun will be in charge. In Linzi, there is good weather above, favorable geography below, and harmony in the middle! What can we rely on?" Sun Bin frowned.

"Yes, I have all the soldiers in the world for me to command and coordinate!" Zhuang Zhou said solemnly.

"Oh?" Sun Bin asked curiously.

"However, I want to be sure of one thing. I must rescue Bian Que and the Bird Demon King first, so that Chunyu Kun will not see through their journey and threaten me with them!" Zhuang Zhou said solemnly.

"Rescue Bian Que and Bird Demon King first, and then deal with Chunyu Kun?" Sun Bin said slightly surprised.

"Yes, I will go and hold Chunyu Kun in person. When the time comes, the rest will be left to your command. Mr. Sun is like a god with his troops. I leave it to you!" Zhuang Zhou said solemnly.

"In order to save me, Bian Que was imprisoned, so I am obliged to do so. However, sir, if you want to personally hold Chun Yukun back, wouldn't it be too dangerous?" Sun Bin worriedly asked.

Although Zhuang Zhou was powerful, he was definitely far behind Chun Yukun, who was the peerless peak of the seventeenth level of Daluo Golden Immortal.

"Sir, just agree. For the rest, don't worry, sir!" Zhuang Zhou shook his head.

"But, Zhuang Zhou, where are you going to ask for reinforcements? Where are the reinforcements? Even if there are reinforcements, they may not be Chunyu Kun's opponent, right?" Hui Shi said in surprise.

"Hui Shi, I'm calling for reinforcements, and they must be you!" Zhuang Zhou said.

"Me? I am an abandoned minister who was driven out by the Wei State. Where can I ask for help?" Hui Shi suddenly smiled bitterly.

"I need your reputation. Your reputation can help me recruit soldiers from all over the world to uproot Chunyu Kun's power in one fell swoop!" Zhuang Zhou said solemnly.

"Really? Don't lie to me. When I united all the countries, the military power I generated may not be enough to deal with Chunyu Kun!" Hui Shi said with a bitter smile.

"Zhuang Zhou, you have to think clearly and don't get yourself involved!" Tian Ji said worriedly.

"Uncle, I remember that a month later, there will be a grand sacrificial event in Qi?" Zhuang Zhou asked.

"Yes, the sacrificial event is extremely lively. After the sacrificial ceremony, Jixia Academy offers wine and goes into the palace to preach to the king of Qi. The noble princes of Qi will also gather here, and there will be horse racing and archery. , pot throwing and other activities." Tian Ji recalled.

"Then we will kill the demon in one month!" Zhuang Zhou said solemnly.

Everyone looked at Zhuang Zhou.

----------

A month passed by in a flash. In Jixia Academy.

"Zhuang Zhou, how can you bear it! You haven't come out yet!" Chunyu Kun said with a gloomy face.

"As a sacrifice to the wine, we arrested a few medical disciples, tortured them, and found the village where Bian Que used to live, but they had already left the village and emptied it!" A Jixia Academy disciple said with an ugly expression.

"It's been a month, people must have deserted the village long ago!" Chunyu Kun said coldly.

"Sacrifice wine, you ordered it. The city lords from all over Qi State, following your orders, have sent troops to set up checkpoints everywhere. Zhuang Zhou cannot escape!" said the disciple of Jixia Academy.

"Is the level useful?" Chunyu Kun's face turned ugly for a while.

"But we...!"

"Forget it, Bian Que is in my hands. Even Zhuang Zhou doesn't dare to leave even if I measure him. You continue to look for me! There are also Tian Ji and Sun Bin!" Chunyu Kun said in a deep voice.

"Yes!" A group of Jixia Academy disciples responded.

"Sacrifice wine, today is the sacrificial ceremony. After the sacrificial ceremony, you still need to go to the palace to preach! It's almost time, are you...!" A disciple of Jixia Academy worried.

"Let's go, enter the palace first!" Chunyu Kun said in a deep voice.

"Yes!" All the disciples responded.

----------

In Linzi City.

In the Qi State, because it experienced the Tian Dynasty and Jiang Qi, ancestor worship is no longer as serious as Jiang Qi. The sacrifice of the ancestors of the Tian family is only part of it, and it also includes the sacrifice of heaven and earth.

After the sacrifice in the morning, the monarchs and ministers of Qi gathered in the palace in the afternoon.

The noble princes of Qi State gathered in the large school field next to the palace.

It didn’t take long for the noble princes, attendants, and soldiers to fill up the campus. It was crowded and running around non-stop. Of course, the noble gentlemen still had their own small circles and gathered together for parties.

Among them, the racecourse has the largest number of nobles.

"Have you heard? Tian Ji seems to have offended Jixia Academy's sacrificial wine, and now he is being hunted by Jixia Academy!"

"That's not true. After all, Tian Ji is also our general of Qi. He is being hunted? Jixia Academy is just an academy!"

"Shhh, keep your voice down. The world is full of wine and peaches and plums for sacrifices. What's wrong with catching Tian Ji!"

"Tell me, Tian Ji has disappeared recently. It turns out that he offended Jixia Academy!"

"What a pity. When Tian Ji's father was here, how many people fawned over him!"

"Yes, Tian Jijiu was also very generous back then, but it's a pity...!"

"Okay, okay, don't talk about him anymore. Let's continue horse racing. This time, my horse is in the battle. You can buy my horse to win!"

"It's just your horse, but you still want to win? Your third-class horse, which means a lower-class horse won't be that bad, and your upper-class, middle-class horse, and you still want to win? Hahahaha!"

… … … …

… … …

… …

A group of noble gentlemen are arguing.

In a corner of the campus, a group of people stood, headed by Tian Ji and Sun Bin.

"Sir, we have been here for a while, and no one seems to recognize us?" Tian Ji said with a wry smile.

"Jixia Academy's search for you and me was done in private. Not everyone knows about it. Besides, even if there are Jixia Academy disciples here, the place is too big and there are too many people, so they didn't notice us!" Sun Bin sat in the wheelchair and shook his head.

"Then what do we do now?" Tian Ji asked.

"What time is it now?" Sun Bin asked in a deep voice.

"Wei Shi!" Tian Ji said.

"Zhuang Zhou has already arrived at the entrance of the palace, Wei Shi? At this time, Chunyu Kun is preaching in the palace, right?" Sun Bin asked.

"Yes, according to the time, he is giving a sermon!" Tian Ji nodded.

"Then we can't leave while Chunyu Kun is preaching. We want everyone to know that we are here!" Sun Bin said in a deep voice.

"But no one here pays attention to us. I'm not a famous person in Qi State. Most people don't know me!" Tian Ji said with a bitter smile.

"Then let everyone know you!" Sun Bin said solemnly.

"Let everyone know me? How can I do it without causing damage?" Tian Ji didn't believe it.

"It's easy, just win money!" Sun Bin said with a smile.

"Ah?" Tian Ji asked confused.

"I've seen that horse racing here is the most popular, because it's gambling and you can buy the winning or losing. You just bet all the money you have at home on yourself to win. With the huge bet, it will definitely attract everyone. Eyes, if you win several times more money with your own horse, all the gamblers will pursue you, and everyone will shout your name Tian Ji!" Sun Bin said in a deep voice.

"All the family property? Well, I don't care about money, it's just that I have gambled before, but I never won!" Tian Ji said with a bitter smile.

"Isn't it easy to win money? I read the rules of horse racing. Third-class horses of the same specification participate in the competition and win two out of three games. They really abide by the rules. You don't have to abide by the rules. Just listen to me and use low-class horses against They have superior horses. Use their superior horses against their medium horses. Use your average horses against their inferior horses. I guarantee you will win!" Sun Bin said in a deep voice.

"Huh?" Tian Ji was slightly startled.

"What are you still waiting for? Go quickly, time is limited, you and I must become the focus of the audience immediately, otherwise, Zhuang Zhou's arrangement will fall short!" Sun Bin said in a deep voice.

"Okay, okay!" Tian Ji nodded.

Tian Ji quickly rushed to make arrangements. There was also a boiling sound from another horse betting area.

"Master Bijiang, do you need to bet so big? We only have one thousand spiritual stones at most. If you bet thirty thousand spiritual stones at once, what will we do?"

"That's right, Master Bijiang, if you bet 30,000 spirit stones, wouldn't you have covered the entire bet?"

"Young Master Bijiang is confident in himself, right? I just saw that Young Master Bijiang's horses are indeed good horses! I will definitely win this time!"

… … …

… …

Among the compliments of all the noble princes, Prince Bijiang, the son of King Qi, suddenly smiled.

"Everyone is racing horses just to have fun. I didn't place a lot of bets, so I just gave them some ideas!" Young Master Pijiang said proudly.

Just when everyone wanted to compliment him.

"Tian Ji bets, five hundred thousand spirit stones, bet Tian Ji's horse to win!" A shout came from the betting area not far away.

A group of noble gentlemen who had just wanted to compliment Young Master Bijiang suddenly turned pale.

"Tian Ji?" Young Master Bijiang raised his eyebrows.

Countless people also showed curiosity. After all, in the past horse racing, one thousand spiritual stones was already a large amount, but this time it was actually half a million spiritual stones, which immediately caused a silence in the entire campus.

"Who is this Tian Ji? So rich?"

"You can't be taken advantage of, right? Five hundred thousand spiritual stones, you can win by betting on yourself?"

"So rich!"

"Tian Ji? Tian Ji? Could it be Tian Ji who was being hunted down by Jixia Academy this month?"

… … … … …

… … …

… …

Whispers echoed throughout the campus. People participating in pot throwing, archery and other sports all turned their attention to the racecourse to watch Tian Ji's horse racing.
