Chapter 126: Cockfighting

Princess Jingming didn't speak first, but picked up the teacup and poured tea for everyone, she did it very naturally, Cui Jun Xue Mi also accepted it naturally, and Tuoba Ying also accepted it, but the two were completely different mentalities, and Liu Han, Fu Xian, and Gao Jie were a little scared.

"Did the big guy bet?" Princess Jingming put down the teapot and looked up and asked, Xue Yu smiled: "I have already placed, how much does the princess plan to bet?"

Princess Jingming pursed her lips and smiled, and Bai Shengsheng's palm stretched out: "I'm not as rich as Master Cui, so let's go down five taels." ”

The maid next to her hurried over, Xiaoyuan came over to stop the maid, she took out five taels of silver, and Princess Jingming asked again: "The one under Master Cui?"

"Hehe," Cui Jun laughed dryly: "I like to press the cold, General Fei." ”

"What about the one under Mr. Liu?" Princess Jingming turned her head to look at Liu Han.

Sitting next to Princess Jingming, smelling the faint fragrance, Liu Han has been a little distracted, unable to concentrate, and at this moment he is face to face with the princess, opposite her dark eyes, he faints again.

Stunned, Liu Han smiled bitterly: "I haven't bet yet, since the princess bets five taels, the grass people will bet two taels, but I follow the crowd and don't like the cold very much." ”

A smile flashed in Princess Jingming's eyes, and then Tuoba Ying Gao Jie and Fu Xian placed bets one after another, Liu Han felt a little restrained, which made him a little uncomfortable, so he got up and walked to the side, looking below, the gamblers below bought wooden cards from the maid, and then grabbed the advantageous position.

Princess Jingming also got up and walked to him without concealing it, and then said, "Why didn't Mr. Liu participate in the autumn product?"

"In the next businessman, busy with his livelihood all day, it is better to go less on such high-level occasions. Liu Han said casually.

"Tall?" Princess Jingming frowned slightly, puzzled, Liu Han suddenly had an impulse in his heart, wanting to take her into his arms and show mercy wantonly.

"Tall is high-level, high-level, high-level occasion, high-level status; big, is atmospheric, face-saving; up, high-grade, such as the connotation of speaking and doing things, to have ideals, there are goals; I can't do this, I always talk about money, which is too classless. Liu Han casually changed the connotation to something that can be understood in this era, and laughed at himself by the way.

At this moment, he was already secretly vigilant against this Jingming princess in his heart, with his sect master's high-grade cultivation, there were very few things that could make him lose his mind, especially to let the internal breath in the body run automatically, it was too difficult, this woman was not that simple.

"Poof!" Princess Jingming couldn't help but be happy, Xue Mi didn't see it behind them, and the people who saw it among the gamblers who were chatting below were stunned, and then the noisy talking voice was a little quieter, and countless eyes gathered in this direction, Liu Han obviously felt that there was a few murderous aura in it, and he couldn't help but smile, so the murderous aura was a little stronger.

"Mr. Liu is still so funny. Princess Jingming smiled, Liu Han sat down and lay on the railing: "Did the princess participate?"

"Why didn't you go, alas, if you talk about poetry today, it's all boring and boring. Princess Jingming also sat down and looked at Liu Han with big eyes.

Liu Han's heart was horizontal, turned his head to look at her, and faced her head-on for the first time, this face, he completely saw Princess Jingming, this Princess Jingming is really a stunning beauty, with well-defined facial features, fair and delicate skin, with a shallow flush, ruddy and attractive lips, and a faint fragrance between words.

"I participated in last year, but it's a pity that I didn't have the blessing to see the princess?" Liu Han sighed, his inner breath secretly flowing, keeping his mind clear.

Princess Jingming also sighed: "The slave family also feels a pity, last year the slave family went to Yanzhou, not in the imperial capital, so I missed it, it's a pity, when Mr. Liu's three articles were passed to Yanzhou, the slave family liked it tightly, and later collected Gongzi's "Out of the Stopper" and "Will Enter the Wine", the slave family suddenly had a refreshing feeling, and thought about what kind of person Gongzi was. ”

Speaking of this, she pursed her lips and smiled, Liu Han's expression was astringent, and she said a little embarrassed: "I'm afraid the princess is very disappointed, just such an ordinary man." ”

"Where did Childe say, although Childe repeatedly laughed at himself, but the slave family knew that Childe was not a mortal, and Childe was just hidden in the eyes of the fish now, but pearls are pearls after all, and when the time comes, they will be dazzling, do you say yes. Princess Jingming smiled, her eyes slightly bent, like almonds, but also like peach blossoms.

"Alas," Liu Han sighed, and he suddenly found that Princess Jingming had changed her title in a few words, from the main palace to the slave family, from the husband to the son, just like this, the distance between the two was shortened.

"I'm afraid the princess is going to be disappointed, Liu is just a mortal, pretending to be a pearl. Liu Han sighed, Princess Jingming had a smile in her eyes, but she shook her head slightly.

The two of them were a little speculative, but the reason seemed a little strange, and after a while, a gong sounded below, and everyone on the terrace walked to the railing.

"Everyone, everyone, please note!" the host shouted, and the people who were still betting immediately chose their positions, but the position in front was already occupied, so they had to find a high place in the back and look inside.

The guests on the second floor are completely different, especially the first building, the entire cockfighting arena is unobstructed in their eyes, and the fifth room where Liu Han is located is a little off, but it is also a good place.

"Attention! Attention! Guests who have not placed bets can only wait for the next game! Stop betting! Stop betting!"

With the host's shout, the maid immediately retreated to the corner and did not accept the bet anymore, and Xue Mi, Cui Jun and others all flocked to the side of the fence.

"Ready!"

Two fighting cocks were put into the arena, the middle of which was separated by a wooden plank, and the two guys stood on either side, staring at the host.

"Ready!"

The gamblers around the cockfighting arena were highly nervous, staring at the two fighting cocks in the arena, the two fighting cocks had been stirred up, their necks were stretched out, the chicken feathers were erect, and the fighting spirit was high.

"Let's go!"

With a wave of the host's arm, the two guys immediately lifted the partition, and the two fighting cocks did not pounce on them immediately, but approached each other, glaring at each other, and seemed to be observing each other, and suddenly the two chickens jumped up almost at the same time and collided in the air.

"Bite it, bite it!"

"Kick, stupid, kick it, kick it!"

"Bite your head!"

The gamblers shouted, upstairs and downstairs were full of excitement, and the shouts resounded throughout the courtyard.

The two chickens were torn together in the shouts of the gamblers, and the flying general deserved to be the flying general, jumped up in the air, kicked the champion general with both claws, and the champion general flashed to the side, dodging this claw, the flying general was angry, and turned around to catch up as soon as he landed, the champion general was experienced, and his neck flashed to the side, avoiding this peck, and then pecked the opponent's neck like lightning, pecking a few chicken feathers.

General Fei screamed in pain, the chicken feathers stood upside down and pounced on the champion general, the champion general obviously did not expect the opponent to react so quickly, accidentally, was bitten by the flying general, the champion general jumped in pain, the flying general made a move, chased and pecked, several times in a row, each time brought out a few chicken feathers, in an instant, the back of the champion general was bald.

The champion general suffered such a big loss, and he was immediately furious, took off and flew into the air, turned around in mid-air, and collided with the oncoming flying general, and both chickens took two steps back. The champion general raised his head and roared, and General Fei was not to be outdone, and also raised his head and howled.

The fierce battle ignited the emotions of the gamblers, and the shouts were even louder, and even the people upstairs were excited, Xue Mi blushed, waved his fist, and roared at the bottom; Cui Jun was a little better, but he also screamed with his neck straight.

Liu Han was relatively calm, he paid a little attention to Princess Jingming beside him, the princess was also very excited, her eyes were shining, her cheeks were red, her hands were pressed on the railing, her breathing was short, and every peck made her nervous and excited.

The other rooms on the second floor were the same, almost everyone was shouting, including the other women in room five, even the little round girl couldn't help but run over, and when she was excited, she couldn't help but jump up, and the little lady she pretended to be just now was thrown out of the clouds.

The battle between the two chickens became more intense, the champion general seemed to be enraged, and frequently attacked, and General Fei did not show weakness, attacking against attack, and the battle became more and more intense. Both chickens were slightly injured, the champion general became a bald tail general, and General Fei was covered in blood on his neck, and a piece of skin had been torn off, and the fluff was stuck to the wound, but the blood was still oozing.

"Oh!" the champion general looked up to the sky and roared, leaping forward, the flying general dodged to the side, the champion general just landed, immediately turned around to catch up, the flying general did not expect the champion general to be so fast, the champion general jumped on its back, pecked the back, the flying general screamed, twisted violently, and lifted the champion general down.

With the pecking of the champion general, the mood of the audience was high, countless arms were waved, and the two women on the sidelines danced happily.

"Childe doesn't seem to care. ”

There was a slightly surprised voice from Princess Jingming in her ears, Liu Han smiled and said: "A small bet is pleasant, you can't lose much, and you can't win much." ”

Princess Jingming looked at him, hesitated slightly, and then shook her head slightly, as if she disagreed with his statement.

Liu Han smiled bitterly: "The fight is too fierce, I think of the Western Regions Trade Road, which is also a sword and sword, just like the two chickens below." ”

Princess Jingming was a little surprised, Meimu looked at Liu Han with a trace of compassion, and sighed: "I heard that the Western Regions Trade Road is called the Death Trade Road, and the caravans are often attacked by horse thieves, is that true?"

Liu Han nodded: "There is a saying that the Western Regions Business Road has nine deaths and one life, although it is a bit exaggerated, but the difference is not too far, it is a business road paved with white bones." ”

Princess Jingming sighed compassionately, and said in a low voice for a long time: "If you are not cornered, how can you embark on such a road of no return." ”

Liu Han hesitated and nodded slightly, at this time, the two chickens in the cockfighting arena had reached the last moment, the champion general attacked frequently, and the flying general was exhausted, and there was no momentum just now, under the attack of the champion general, he frequently retreated, wanting to avoid the attack of the champion general, but the champion general did not relax at all, and kept jumping, pecking or grabbing.

"Does cockfighting have to fight to the death?" Liu Han suddenly asked, Princess Jingming was a little surprised, glanced at him, and said, "That's not it, as long as one party admits defeat, it will be over." ”

Liu Han was confused, in the Western Regions, this kind of cockfighting will only end if one party completely falls and can't stand up, and this Dajin still has to admit defeat.

Sure enough, General Fei couldn't resist the attack of the champion general, and retreated to a corner, the champion general walked over slowly, the chicken feathers on his neck were still standing upright, but General Fei's chicken feathers were drooping down and his head was lowered.

There was a burst of swearing around them, and at the same time there was a burst of excitement.

"General Champion wins!" The host stood up and announced loudly, "Congratulations to the guests who bet on General Champion!"

Cui Jun sighed regretfully, muttering quietly, but Xue Yu smiled and threw the wooden card to the maid, Princess Jingming also sighed, and she followed Cui Jun to suppress General Fei.

Princess Jingming returned to the table, Liu Han did not follow, but sat against the railing, Tuoba Ying looked a little uneasy, as if he wanted to say goodbye, when laughter came from outside the door.

"Is Brother Liu here? Is Brother Liu here?"

Liu Han was stunned at first, and then smiled. From outside the door came a chubby, tall bearded man, with large shoulders and a round waist, and a thick beard on his chin, with a somewhat yellowish beard, deep-sunken eyes, and slightly blue eyes.

As soon as the big fat man entered the door, he saw Liu Han coming up, he laughed and stepped forward, hugging Liu Han hard: "Brother Liu, I saw the branch of Hanhai Trading Company in Jiangnan, thinking that you should also go to Dajin, but I didn't think about it, I rushed back to the imperial capital, but you weren't there! Good brother, how many years have we not seen each other?"
