Xiao Yuqi didn't expect that Nalan Ye would make such a request.

A big gamble?

Using his freedom and life in exchange for Daliang City and Haitian County, as well as more than 20 million taels of gold, whether it is cost-effective or not, Xiao Yuqi can no longer liquidate. Just when he was helpless to escape from Xichu, Nalan Ye made such a request, which was like sending charcoal in the snow.

"Really?" With a look in his eyes, Xiao Yuqi stared at Nalan Ye with a solemn face, raised his eyebrows and said, "The King of Chu actually made such a bet with this palace, so he is not afraid of losing?" ”

He didn't want to before, but at this time and that time, he could only gamble.

If he loses, he will not be able to repay the debt, and his father will never agree to such a request anyway. But if he wins by luck, he wants to see if Nalan Ye will break his promise.

Without hesitation, Nalan Ye only looked at Xiao Yuqi, and there seemed to be a deep meaning hidden in his eyes: "Isn't it just what you want if you lose?" ”

To say yes, or not to say yes?

After only a moment, Xiao Yuqi burst into laughter: "Okay, the King of Chu is really courageous, if this palace doesn't agree, won't you underestimate it?" You say, bet on what? ”

A rare opportunity, how could he miss it? You have to give it a try.

"Simple, Wubi!" Nalan Ye erupted with a powerful momentum, with a strong killing intent, as if a wild grass tide had arisen out of thin air in the room, "Prince Xiao was unwilling to lose before, right?" Well, this king will give you a chance, a dignified competition, and this king will not leave mercy. ”

Xiao Yuqi's pupils suddenly burst out with a light and shouted, "Okay! ”

At the same time, just when Xiao Yuqi agreed to Nalan Ye's request, in the Dongwan Imperial Palace, thousands of miles away, Emperor Dongwan, who was lingering on the sickbed, also received the same news.

A flash of light flashed in the cloudy dragon's eyes, and Emperor Dongwan, who was originally full of sickness, suddenly opened his eyes wide, a little incredulous: "What, Xichu is actually ...... Actually detained my emperor, and still made such a request? ”

It was only then that he learned of his son's whereabouts.

There has been no news of Xiao Yuqi for many days, and Emperor Dongwan can't help but worry. Although Xiao Yuqi has always been resourceful, intelligent and calm, and is his most important son, he also knows that his conditions this time are a bit harsh, and if he is not careful, he is likely to be doomed.

Using the killing of Nalan Ye and Luo Qingluan as a condition to stimulate Xiao Yuqi's fighting spirit and ruthlessness, this is the last test that Emperor Dongwan gave to his son before abdicating the throne, which can also be said to be a teaching. As an emperor, you must not only be eloquent and strategic, but also make trade-offs and balance interests.

After all, Luo Qingluan and Nalan Ye are from Western Chu, and they still have various grievances in private, if Xiao Yuqi gets too close to them, it will not be good for Dongwan's future.

Many days of anticipation finally came to naught, and Emperor Dongwan now knew that the most distressed son had fallen into the hands of Emperor Xichu, and he had made such a demanding request. After listening to the conditions read out by the eunuch, Emperor Dongwan almost jumped up angrily and was furious.

"Ahem, cough, cough......" Under the violent cough, Emperor Dongwan couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of blood, which shocked the queen's face on the side, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, are you okay?" The concubine will pass you the imperial doctor......"

Before he finished speaking, he was brushed away by Emperor Dongwan, he stared at the pamphlet in the eunuch's hand, gritted his teeth and said tremblingly: "Quickly show it to me, show it to me!" ”

The eunuch hurriedly sent the booklet respectfully, and Emperor Dongwan snatched it up, opened it and stared at it.

Every word on it strongly stimulated him, the dragon's eyes were round, almost protruding, Emperor Dongwan pinched the booklet, and his voice trembled: "Gambling on the country!" Wubi ...... Wubi ...... Nalan Ye, you want to kill my emperor, the wolf ambition ......"

My heart is shaking!

Nalan Ye is famous, if there is no absolute certainty, how could Xi Chu make such a bet? obviously wanted to take the opportunity to kill his emperor, and also to take advantage of this to seize his two cities in Dongwan, with a huge amount of compensation, how could he not see through it?

Don't be fooled! Absolutely not!

Wheezing violently, Emperor Dongwan was already in good spirits, and he had been lying in bed for a whole month, but now although he had a little breath because of excitement, his face was extremely red and terrifying, and the eunuch and queen in front of him were shocked, for fear that he would make a mistake.

"Your Majesty......" The queen reminded carefully, but her eyes involuntarily swept into Emperor Dongwan's hand, and she couldn't help shrinking.

Her royal son...... It actually fell into the hands of Western Chu, and he still has to compete with Nalan Yewu, the king of Chu?

"Your Majesty, don't agree!" She opened her mouth and shouted, almost unable to control the worry in her heart: "Xichu harbors evil intentions, just to take the opportunity to kill the emperor, Your Majesty must save the emperor!" ”

Frightened, she almost burst into tears.

Where can you not see through Xi Chu's intentions?

The roots of Emperor Dongwan's teeth were hurting, his face was pale, gloomy and terrifying, and his chest was wheezing violently, as if he was about to die at any time. But his mind was racing and how he should deal with the situation......

Wubi is naturally Nalan Ye's forte, otherwise Emperor Xichu would not have put forward such a condition, but would he Dongwan be captured? Never!

How can we turn defeat into victory?

His heart turned rapidly, Emperor Dongwan was full of violent energy, and at this critical juncture of Dongwan, he seemed to be returning to the light, the whole person became more and more energetic, and his eyes also revealed strong vitality.

"Nalan Ye, Nangong Qing, you guys are so calculating...... Wubi, you want to kill my son, but you also want to take away the country? Emperor Dongwan muttered to himself, his eyes black like a whirlpool, "You really deserve me to be so easy to bully?!" If you want a martial arts, can't I ask for it? ”

A thought gradually came to mind, and after a long silence, Emperor Dongwan suddenly shouted: "Come on, give me a reply to Xichu, saying that I can agree, as long as Xichu dares to gamble with me Dongwan, does he Nangong Qing dare to take it?" ”

Within a few days, the whole world knew about the big gamble between Xichu and Dongwan.

Whether it is Dongwan or Western Chu, or even Southern Wei, they have all paid super attention to this bet. With the experience of North Vietnam, even Dong Wan, who had always been the leader of the four countries, had a sense of crisis among the common people and ministers for the first time.

Once this gamble fails, Daliang City and Haitian County will be ceded to Western Chu and reduced to slaves. But if you don't gamble, the crown prince Xiao Yuqi may become the proton of Xichu for the rest of his life, suffer humiliation, and may even die.

However, the Xichu side was full of interest, and the top and bottom were unanimously excited.

Compared with Xiao Yuqi, the prince of Dongwan, it is naturally their most wise and martial His Royal Highness the King of Chu, Nalan Ye, although Xiao Yuqi has a good name, he has become a defeated general under the King of Chu, what else does it mean to be brave, losing is inevitable!

Some businessmen and big families have even begun to make a move, and countless people are even more red when they think of the prosperity of North County today. Once the rich and prosperous Daliang City and Haitian County become the territory of Western Chu, they will naturally become the next North County, and when the time comes, all kinds of opportunities will continue to flow and make money every day, and they have almost seen an increase in wealth......

For a while, for this big gamble, Xichu and Dongwan had completely different attitudes.

The people of Dongwan expressed great hatred, and they also gave strong hatred to the Western Chu people in the territory of Dongwan, and the brawls were fiercely contested. However, the Xichu side was enthusiastic, and even asked everywhere about the location and specific time of the martial arts......

On the Southern Wei side, Lin Yixuan, who had already eliminated the misunderstanding with Luo Qingluan and eased the relationship, naturally sent someone to send greetings in order to show his prudence and concern.

Luo Qingluan replied to Lin Yixuan in his own handwriting, telling him not to worry, so he calmed down and faced another unexpected situation.

Emperor Dongwan's request!

"It is worthy of Emperor Dongwan, he didn't lose his mind in this situation, and he can still make counter-demands on us." Luo Qingluan looked at the national letter sent by Nangong Yu personally, the yellow scroll framed with gold thread exuded a gorgeous and solemn atmosphere, and the font pen on it walked around. Although it is a little messy, it still exudes a kingly atmosphere.

"It's just that Emperor Dongwan's request is obviously aimed at me." Luo Qingluan frowned.

Sitting next to her, Nalan Ye gently held Luo Qingluan's hand and said: "Emperor Dongwan proposed this gamble, which is naturally aimed at you, otherwise like this kind of request, the four countries were reluctant to compare with each other, and now that it is so big, it is a little frivolous to use medical skills to gamble." ”

The word frivolous is naturally aimed at this request put forward by Emperor Dongwan - each country sends a patient, and asks a doctor from the other party to diagnose and treat it, and within three days, whichever side cures the patient first will win.

Nangong Yu, who delivered the credentials, also put down the business he was most interested in and devoted all his energy to this matter.

After learning the reply sent by Dongwan, he was also very surprised, he didn't expect that Emperor Dongwan was not led by them at such a critical moment, but put forward his own request, and also had a game with Xichu.

If Emperor Xichu agrees to Dongwan's request, Emperor Dongwan agrees to Xichu's request, that is, if Xichu does not agree to a medical gamble, Dongwan will not agree to Xichu's request for martial arts. Emperor Dongwan expressed a strong demand, even if he paid for the freedom and life of the crown prince Xiao Yuqi, he would not let Dongwan fall into the crisis of land reparations.

The implication - if you don't agree with each other, go to war!

"Say yes or not, the news has spread." Looking at Luo Qingluan's indifferent and beautiful face, Nangong Yu frowned and said, "It's just Qingluan, you should be sure of this medical gamble, right?" After all, your medical skills are known to the world, and there is no disease that you can't cure. But ......"

Speaking of this, Nangong Yu became more and more alert.

Princess Luo Qingluan's medical skills are known to the world, and Emperor Dongwan naturally will not know about it. So in this case, no matter which imperial doctor Dongwan sends, it is already a situation where it is bound to lose, so why does Emperor Dongwan still make this request?

What is the purpose?
