Chapter 567 Lucky Head (for the Silver Alliance Leader Niema 11/21)
Sitting in the stands, Quan Jiu gradually felt that this Cuju competition was not so good to watch.
The Zuo Army played very beautifully here, with all kinds of tricks, which was dazzling.
Li Jieshuai of the right army is completely the opposite. His footwork is sharp and practical. Every time he hits the ball, it must pass through the eye of the wind, and if it passes the eye of the wind, it will land on the ground.
He was playing Cuju just to win, and he looked a little...lost his grace.
Moreover, the Princess of Rui has a rich body, and no one dares to touch her, so the princess has to run around all over the place by herself, which is already very embarrassing.
Once the outcome is decided, the game becomes boring.
But on the other hand, Quan Jiu felt that... Li Xia's figure was still good-looking.
There was an air of concentration on him that Quanjiu couldn't put into words. She just felt that the way he was sweating profusely should become a memory of her golden years.
That's it, it's not my own...
But gradually, a faint displeasure appeared in Quanjiu's eyes.
Her eyes began to move back and forth between Zhao Jin and Li Xia.
Finally, Zhao Jin was too tired to run anymore and stood there with his knees propped up.
"You're still here?!"
Li Xia bounced the ball twice and kicked it, but it still landed where Zhao Jin was.
"Boom."
"Ouch."
Quan Jiu was startled and stood up quickly.
"Mr. Gong, openly bullying women..."
"Ouch."
Zhao Jin covered his head, pointed at Li Xia, and shouted: "Why do you always kick the ball over? Why do you always kick the ball over?"
"Because I know you can't handle it."
Li Xia's tone of matter-of-factness.
That's how the game is, attack the enemy's weakness.
He didn't look at Zhao Jin anymore and turned to look at Xiangzhu on the sidelines.
The incense is burning, and a Cuju competition has come to an end.
The flute has sounded.
"This doesn't count." Someone shouted: "This doesn't count, he doesn't have any tricks at all, Alang..."
Jia Sidao panted, and was so tired that he rolled his eyes. He finally came to his senses, glanced at Li Xia displeased, and then looked at Zhao Jin.
"I, I am Jia Pei..."
Zhao Jin didn't know whether he was reminding Jia Sidao, but he still couldn't catch his breath, and said: "I, Jia Pei... I am willing to lose the bet, but it's not over yet, I have to compete again, I have to compete again."
Li Xia didn't seem to care, and played with the ball under his feet.
As long as there is a game, he is happy to accompany him.
Jia Sidao shook his head and did not want to play Cuju anymore.
He is not Gao Qiu.
He, Jia Sidao, was born as a serious Jinshi. The reason why he knew how to play Cuju was because he was versatile.
With someone like Li Xia who only sees victory and defeat, there is no need for a rematch.
"No need." Jia Sidao turned to Zhao Jin and said, "I'm tired, I'll take you to fight with crickets."
"Uncle...it's because we were bullied by this person that we have to get the situation back...Hey, can you fight crickets? Let's fight crickets!"
Li Xia was too lazy to pay attention to Jia Sidao's niece.
He has exactly the same virtue as Jia Sidao.
"Mr. Jia, did you forget that there is a lottery ticket?"
"I will give you a bigger prize." Jia Sidao disagreed.
Li Xia said: "But the agreed number is twenty lashes."
Jia Sidao was already walking towards the stands, but when he heard this, he suddenly turned around.
"You still want to whip me?"
"The game has rules."
Jia Sidao stared into Li Xia's eyes, the cynical expression on his face gradually disappeared, and a look of coldness appeared on his face.
And dignity.
The majesty of ruling the world.
"You want to reveal your true colors?"
Li Xia was not afraid at all and said seriously: "The lottery was decided by Mr. Jia Xianggong. We agreed and went all out."
"Feiyu!" Yang Zhen shouted and stepped forward to pull Li Xia.
"Don't blame Mr. Jia, we are young and have little knowledge, and it is not Yu who is joking..."
"I'm not joking." Li Xia said: "I came here for a reason. I have tried my best. I should give you what I promised."
"What if the truth says no?"
Li Xia smiled and asked, "In front of so many people, do you want Xianggong Jia to regret it?"
suddenly.
The clear female voice sounded again.
"Okay, we are willing to accept defeat and let's fight."
Jia Sidao was still looking at Li Xia. Hearing this, he was stunned and turned to look at Zhao Jin, a little surprised.
"I, Jia Pei, am willing to admit defeat... Who is that? My second uncle, we have already agreed. There is no one who won't be whipped if he loses in Cuju..."
Zhao Jin said, covering his eyes with his hands and turning his back.
Jia Sidao was speechless, and finally sighed and stood beside Zhao Jin.
"Feiyu, don't do this." Yang Zhen was still holding Li Xia and urging him in a low voice, "Don't fight..."
Li Xia said: "It doesn't matter. Mr. Jia is a good friend of mine in private. I know that he is generous and trustworthy... If you don't fight? Then I will fight."
…
Jia Sidao was actually not very angry.
If you lose, you will be whipped. This is the rule of Lin'an Juju.
Among those who play Cuju in Lin'an, who hasn't received a few whips from those in Qiyun Club?
He just wanted to let it go.
Get angry, coerce, change the lottery, in short, let it go.
After all, he dared not even pay Kublai Khan's annual tribute.
As for the loss of prestige? Anyone with a clear eye in officialdom and official circles will know who Jia Sidao was subjected to these blows for.
"Snapped."
"Snapped."
"Snapped……"
Since no one else dared to hit him, Li Xia hit them one by one with a whip.
It's not very painful either.
But Zhao Jin still cried.
She has never experienced this kind of pain since she was a child...
"Ah, I lost... I lost... Wuwu..."
"Okay, princess, stop crying and go fight with crickets."
"Don't call me princess... ugh... I, Jia Pei,... I, Jia Pei, still want to get my place back..."
"Princess, they have left."
Zhao Jin turned around and saw that there were only people on his side left on the huge stadium.
She sighed helplessly and turned to look at Quan Jiu who was walking over.
"Cousin, I lost, but I said I was very good at Cuju. It's true."
"I've seen the princess, she's very skilled." Quan Jiu stepped forward and persuaded softly: "It's Li Jieshuai who bullies a weak woman, but he can't win with force."
"You can't say that, otherwise how could I play Cuju... Cousin, I'm really out of my mind today, I'm actually very good..."
Quan Jiu doesn't care about this at all.
She only knew that if this matter came to the ears of the officials today, with Zhao Jin's temperament, he would ruthlessly protect Li Xia.
It's nothing more than saying, "Anyone who dares to touch him will be my lifelong enemy. I have to find this fight myself..."
The temperament of Princess Rui is still easy to guess.
Then, does Li Xia know which one is the real princess?
Thinking like this, Quanjiu glanced at Jia Sidao, only to see that Jia Sidao had already gone aside to arrange the guards, not caring about the whips.
It can be seen that Li Xia is probably very fond of Jia Sidao...
In the evening, Quan Jiu returned home, still listening to her brother talk about the marriage.
"My aunt has met with the official today, and Prince Zhong and Gu's daughter have terminated their engagement..."
"Brother, do you want to kill Li Xia?" Quan Jiu suddenly asked.
Quan Yongjian was stunned and said in surprise: "How do you know?"
"I asked my brother about the person he took out yesterday." Quan Jiu responded, "But these days, Xianggong Jia will not allow you to do anything again."
"Why?"
"Xianggong Jia actually values Li Xia very much and wants to use him."
Quan Yongjian shook his head and said, "I don't understand."
Quan Jiu always maintained his dignified posture and said: "I just want to remind my brother that if you want to kill Li Xia, you must hide it from Mr. Jia and do it as soon as possible to avoid any future troubles."
Quan Yongjian was stunned again and looked at his sister blankly, as if he didn't recognize her.
"you……"
"Brother, you need to know that Xianggong Jia wants to control Prince Zhong. You can't trust him completely. Li Xia is very good. He must be killed as early as possible. Don't wait for me to become Princess Zhong and lose my position as crown prince."
Quan Yongjian is still in a daze.
Quanjiu became more confident and gave a gentle word of comfort.
"My father is gone and my aunt is old. I will be loyal to the princess... It is my brother's time to cheer up and take up the family business."
…
Unable to control herself, Quan Jiu kept having thoughts in her heart of killing Li Xia.
She had enough standing to kill him, as her brother and cousin had been doing for her husband.
However, Quan Jiu suddenly wanted to personally participate in the arrangement.
Why?
She sat there dignifiedly, thinking for a long time before she figured it out.
Today, watching Zhao Jin and Li Xia play Cuju, I actually felt...jealous.
Princess of Rui Kingdom, the sweet daughter of the Emperor.
Countless people donated their money to build luxurious mansions for him.
She felt that the etiquette was too annoying, so she asked others to dress up as princesses so that she could play Cuju with the men and have fun.
Looking back, the position of princess still belongs to Zhao Jin.
Zhao Jin always gets what he wants.
A dignified prime minister, an important minister of the country, turned around obediently and was whipped just because of her words.
Today I want to play Cuju with Li Xia. If I want to play something else with Li Xia tomorrow, all I have to do is wave.
It is even conceivable that if Zhao Jin falls in love with Li Xia, countless people will help her, even if they kill Li Xia's wife.
And she, Quan Jiu, is going to marry a man like Prince Zhong?
A person like King Zhong...
She wants to prove that marrying King Zhong is worth it.
Even a majestic, handsome, talented and handsome man would die just as she opened her mouth.
This should be the power she gained...
“Good food and fun-loving.”
Li Xia thought for a while, and after describing it like this, he said, "Have you ever heard that Jia Sidao has such a niece?"
Jiang Fan said: "Jia Sidao does have an elder brother named Jia Guandao. He is a scholar. He has good calligraphy and good articles, but his temperament is completely opposite to Jia Sidao's. He lives in Taizhou to study... I can only find out this much.
.”
"Jia Guandao's daughter?" Li Xia pondered: "A little too doting."
"This... the news about Jia's family is the most difficult to find out. I will go find out again."
"No need, if you probe any further you will make him suspicious... you go out through the secret passage in the side yard."
"yes."
Li Xia just asked one more question after hearing other information. If he couldn't get it, then forget it.
It was already dusk at this time, and it was time to go to Ouchi Palace for a banquet.
He has washed himself and put on his clothes.
As soon as he left the mansion, he saw Jia Sidao's sedan parked there.
Li Xia was not polite and went straight in.
"Xianggong Jia is in charge of the world, so he has so much free time?"
"I know how to employ people and dare to employ them, so I have time." Jia Sidao said with a confident smile, "We have agreed to go to the palace together for the banquet."
"Mr. Jia is truly trustworthy."
"You have never been so mean-mouthed before."
"Huh?" Li Xia was surprised.
"You hit me, I don't blame you, I'll give you a future."
As Jia Sidao spoke, he suddenly threw an official document in his hand over.
Li Xia took it, glanced at it, and frowned.
"I said before that I will find a job for you that you are qualified for." Jia Sidao said slowly: "How about the pacification envoy of western Zhejiang?"
Li Xia slowly shook his head.
"It's still early, you can think about it. But as soon as old man Wu Qian leaves, I must start the public land law. What is missing is an independent husband who is not afraid of death, and you are just such an independent husband. Today I have given you twenty lashes. I want you to have sex."
It’s your courage.”
Jia Sidao's expression was no longer as frivolous as it was during the day, and he said solemnly: "Princess Rui owes you a favor after playing Cuju. I will protect you from death in front of His Majesty. I earned this for you. Therefore, you
But you believe that I can earn more opportunities for you to survive and be your backing. Put aside those little tricks of yours and focus on national affairs."
He pointed to the document in Li Xia's hand.
"Also put your fearless courage into state affairs, and work with me to eliminate centuries-old abuses. You and I will revive the Song Dynasty and return to a prosperous and powerful country..."
