Chapter 60: The Battle of the Court (Part I)

midnight

The bell rang, crisp and melodious, everyone couldn't help but stop their hands and listen to the bell, the triennial palace battle in Handan City was about to begin, Zhao Kuo carefully prepared and changed into the new clothes prepared by Zhao's mother, Zhao Hao went out early, Zhao's mother nodded, "Kuo'er, my mother is optimistic about you!" ”

Zhao Kuo nodded, "I will definitely not disappoint my mother!" ”

Zhao Kuo took Qin Wan, Hei Niu and others to rush to the martial arts arena, the people who came to join in the fun had already gathered outside the martial arts arena, and some traders who came to do business occupied a favorable position early, and the sound of selling continued, dried fruits, dried meat, and a few geese carried by one person also came to join in the fun, most of them were frightened by the bustling crowd, and the white geese kept making quacking sounds.

The spearmen stood in two columns, holding spears across their chests to block the crowd trying to approach, almost all the powerful people in Zhao were inside, and there must not be the slightest mistake, Zhao Hao secretly mobilized a team of people in case of emergency, and Zhao Kuo's collection of good hands also came in handy, Heiba took Bai Ying, Lai San, Gou Liu and others to mix in the crowd, the purpose was to prevent someone from taking the opportunity to cause a riot, and once it was discovered, he would be arrested immediately.

One person approached, Qin Wan was just about to step forward, Zhao Kuo made a look, only to see that the man had a treacherous appearance, eight-character eyebrows, triangular eyes, at first glance, it was not a good look, the man came closer, "Childe, do you want to buy a few hands to play, it is absolutely fair!" ”

Zhao Kuo's eyes rolled and it must have been a gamble mentioned by Brother Xu, and he was a little interested, "I don't know what the market is?" ”

"Lian Jin pays two for one, Weigu pays three for one, Lian Fu pays five for one, everyone has it! It's just that the odds are different. ”

Zhao Kuo nodded, "I don't know what Zhao Kuo's odds are?" ”

The man took out a piece of cloth from his sleeve with a faint line of handwriting on it, it should be the odds set by this palace competition, since it is a gambling game, he must know all the contestants very well, money can make the ghost grind, it is not difficult to know something, the triangle glanced at it, "Zhao Kuo pays one hundred!" ”

"That's a lot of odds!"

"Childe must be a foreigner, although Zhao Kuo's name is loud, but it is here, but this time it is here!" Gesture with your hand on your head, and then gesture on your arm, the meaning is very clear, Zhao Kuo is smart, but this time the competition is martial arts, everyone is more optimistic about Lian Jin, the first master under Ping Yuanjun, * Lian Fu, the son of Jun Lian Po, is also not weak, and the most mysterious of them is naturally Weigu who followed Pingyuan Jun back to Zhao State.

"Then buy Zhao Kuo, a hundred dollars!"

"Zhao Kuo, a hundred knives!"

Someone on the side recorded that Qin Wan took the burden, put a hundred iron coins on it, and handed it to Zhao Kuo after writing a bill, marked with the date odds on it, Zhao Kuo sneered, "If Zhao Kuo wins, will you repay the debt?" ”

"Datong Qianzhuang, relying on Xinyi, if it is really upset, there is no harm to us, after all, those who buy Zhao Kuo are a minority!"

"So that's the case, then buy another 200 dollars!"

"Welcome, welcome!"

The sound of drums sounded, Zhao Kuo left, and a smile appeared on the face of the man just now, "This person is really strange, knowing that Zhao Kuo will definitely lose and buy so much!" ”

"It's very simple, because he is Zhao Kuo!"

"He's Zhao Kuo!"

Triangle Eyes looked surprised, a pair of eyes searched, the person who had just spoken had long since disappeared, and muttered, "What a hell!" Looking at the three hundred knives placed on the stage, the excitement just now suddenly disappeared, is there really a miracle, it shouldn't be, but a lot of effort has been put in advance, someone has seen Zhao Kuo being flattened by a group of scoundrels in the bazaar, how can such a person be compared with a master like Lian Jin, most of them are buying peace of mind for themselves.

Zhao Kuo stepped forward, more than a dozen guards held long swords at the entrance, and saw that it was Zhao Kuo who stepped forward to salute, "Childe, only one person can enter!" ”

Zhao Kuo nodded, "You guys are waiting here!" ”

Qin Wan and the others stepped back, everyone knew that this was just to protect the safety of Zhao Wang and others, Zhao Kuo slowly walked into the martial arts arena, the scale was enough to accommodate thousands of people, there were already people waiting on the sidelines, Zhao Kuo entered, and one after another eyes came, many of them with malicious expressions, everyone could become potential opponents, not just Lian Jin, a burly person, with a dark face and looked Zhao Kuo up and down.

"What's your name?"

"Zhao Kuo!"

The man laughed, "I've heard people mention you, you have two battles, and your courage is even better, and you are incorruptible!" How old are you, just call Brother Lian. ”

"Brother Lian, I have heard of the name for a long time, and when I saw it today, it was really extraordinary, it was really a tiger, Zhao Kuo's admiration for the eldest brother was like a surging river!"

Lian Fu laughed, most of them enjoyed Zhao Kuo's kung fu very much, Lian Jin snorted coldly, his eyes fell on Zhao Kuo, don't let Lian Jin meet it, you will definitely look good at that time.

A person's eyes fell on the wooden pole standing on the side, the shadows slowly overlapped, the hour had come, the arm waved, the musicians on both sides of the prepared hands picked up the long musical instruments, a low voice came from inside, a person was naked, arms were round, war drums burst, a group of soldiers rushed out, one held a command flag, the soldiers outward, the spear in his hand pierced out in unison and shouted, "Kill!" ”

The movements were neat and orderly, the spear was withdrawn, the team continued to move forward, the spear stood in front of the chest, the feet kept knocking on the ground, and the martial arts field suddenly had a little more killing intention, a team of cavalry rushed out, all dressed in short clothes, people bent their bows and arrows on horses, and arrows were shot one after another, and the arrow targets placed in the distance were hit one after another.

A burst of applause came, Zhao State implemented Hufu cavalry shooting, and became a Warring States power in one fell swoop, a qiē merit was attributed to King Zhao Wuling, the eldest son Zhao Zhang's biological mother was abolished for fornication, and Zhao Zhang, King Zhao Wuling was even more fond of Queen Wu Wa, so it was passed on to Zhao He, claiming to be the main father, King Zhao Wuling was afraid that the brothers would be killed because of power, and the eldest son Zhao Zhang was named Anyang Jun, and the power was second only to King Zhao Huiwen at that time.

King Zhao Huiwen succeeded to the throne fashionable and young, Xiangguo Feiyi auxiliary government, which naturally mentioned Tian Buli, originally a nobleman of the Tian clan of Qi State, did not want to be implicated and could only flee to Zhao State, and always hoped to make a comeback with the help of Gongzi Zhang, and did not want Gongzi Zhang to lose power, and the Zhao throne in his hand was handed over to others.

Tian Buli did not give up, secretly instigated Gongzi Zhang, Gongzi Zhang was determined to regain the throne that originally belonged to him, Gongzi Zhang pretended to summon King Zhao Huiwen under the order of his master's father, intending to kill him and then seize the throne, Xiangguo Feiyi was worried that there was fraud in it, leaving elite soldiers to guard King Zhao, he entered first, and was immediately killed by the swordsman who was secretly arranged, the palace guards fought with Gongzi Zhang's rebels, the palace guards were difficult to break for a while, Gongzi Cheng and Li Dui, who were in charge of the military power, led the troops to quell the chaos, and Zhao Zhang's soldiers fled to the Dune Palace where the master father lived after the defeat, Gongzi Cheng and Li Dui sent troops to surround the Dune Palace and killed the rebellious Anyang Jun Gongzi Zhang, and Tian Buli was also executed.
