"Speaking of this strategy, we have to use our Hongxing Society's means to have a polo match with Dijon."
"A polo match? Why not a Cuju match? Those Dijon Tatars were born on horseback. If we play polo with them, aren't we at a disadvantage?"
"No, no."
Song Che said:
"If the competition is based on Cuju, they may not agree, but if the winning or losing is based on polo, it will definitely increase their arrogance and they will definitely not hesitate;
I have a 600,000-strong imperial army in Luoyang, but I still can't find a few good horse riders? What's more, there is Brother Jiang, an invincible and invincible master, sitting in charge;
Furthermore, the home court belongs to me, the referee belongs to me, the people's support belongs to me, and the rules belong to me. On the eve of the game, I invite a few prostitutes to make their legs weak and weak, or do some tricks on their horses. I will deal with such harm. I can come up with hundreds of them in just one hut, and I have the final say on winning or losing;
But there is a note -
This competition should not be too sudden, we can use the name of the princess. Let’s just say that our princess of Ningguo is good at both civil and military skills, and her future husband must also have superb martial arts skills;
In this way, the game is not a competition, but an assessment. If he is not good enough and fails the assessment, he can only roll back to Dijon with his tail between his legs. "
"Wonderful! What a brilliant plan!"
Gao Chen and Jiang Yuntian praised it one after another.
Song Che took a sip of tea and added, "What I just said was just the first thing about my visit tonight. This second thing... sigh."
He sighed, stood up, and asked, "Does Master Gao know what happened to King Anyang?"
When Gao Chen heard this name, his face could not help but darken: "If Mr. Song has an idea in his mind, it is probably King Anyang's idea."
"Master Gao, tell me the truth, how long does the emperor have left?" Song Che suddenly asked.
Gao Chen was silent for a long time, shook his head and sighed: "His Majesty the Emperor has not gone to court since the beginning of winter last year. The last time I saw him was two months ago, when he was lying on the dragon bed in the palace. Judging from the tone of his conversation, I am afraid that this An illness cannot be cured;
According to rumors in the palace, if it were not for the blessing of the alchemist’s elixir, I am afraid that His Majesty the Emperor would have..."
"Alchemist? Spiritual elixir?"
Official history begins with the First Emperor of Qin. Many emperors wanted to live forever. It was normal for them to find alchemists to make elixirs to extend their lives. But at this time, I heard about "alchemists", "spiritual elixirs", "immortal masters", "immortality" and the like. The word is hard not to remind people of... the Red Lotus Sect.
Song Che looked at Jiang Yuntian, and he had the same expression.
"Your Majesty began to believe in Huang Lao's art several years ago. A group of alchemists in the palace made the court a mess."
Gao Chen suddenly remembered: "Oh, by the way, King Anyang also believes in Taoism very much. Your Majesty sent him out of the capital on official business, it seems, just to find the immortal master on the coast of the East China Sea."
The emperor in danger, King Anyang who fled the capital, the Red Lotus Sect who was prosperous in the north, looking for the immortal master and the magical medicine...
Song Che really didn't want to dig into these things, but the woman he cared about also went to the north. Lin Yue, the princess, and the little princess were all people who were kind to him.
"well……"
I have no choice but to sigh, I can only sigh.
"Nowadays, in Hebei and Jingdong, a cult called the 'Red Lotus Sect' is rapidly growing among the people. It must be killed before it becomes big!"
"After I get down, I will summon the Privy Council to discuss the matter."
"By the way, there is another private matter tonight. I would like to ask Mr. Gao for a favor. Go to the Xiliang military camp to find a man named 'Liu Chao'. He is twenty-four years old, eight and a half feet tall, and his ancestral home is Suzhou... Since it is a private matter, there will naturally be a reward. If I can find him, I will reward him with a hundred taels of silver."
"Sir, you're welcome. If Liu Chao is still in the military camp, I can recall him with just a piece of paper."
"In this case, I would like to thank Mr. Gao."
Tonight, the three things have been completed, Song Che and Jiang Yuntian will not stay any longer.
Gao Chen and his old servant saw the guests off.
"Before we say goodbye, Song has one more thing to say, I don't know if I should say it or not."
"how?"
"As the saying goes, 'having an old man in the family is like having a treasure', and what this old man fears most is loneliness."
Song Che clasped his fists and saluted, and added: "I'm offended." Then he got on the carriage and left the gate of Gao Mansion.
Gao Chen was stunned for a moment, and after suddenly realizing it, he felt so guilty that he did not dare to look at the old servant beside him.
"Uncle Zhang, starting from tomorrow, you can stay with me in the Privy Council."
"Ah? How can an old man with a white body enter the Government Affairs Hall?"
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. From now on, I will treat you like a biological father and take care of you until you are old."
Four generations of loyal servants shed tears.
…
…
The official residence is in Beicheng.
The Princess Mansion is also in Beicheng.
On the way home.
Jiang Yuntian suddenly put his head into the carriage, and without saying a word, he just giggled "hehehehe".
If you don’t tell me, I won’t tell you either. Song Che responded with a "hehehe" giggle.
"why are you laughing?"
"Why are you laughing again?"
"I'm laughing because I have something I want from you."
"My smile is 'raise your hand and don't hit the smiling person'."
"Since you won't hit me, I'll make it clear...do you still have the 'God of War Set'? Give me a few more boxes."
I want a few more boxes!
"there is none left!"
"No...no more. I am also the God of War."
Jiang Yuntian withdrew his head and felt the carriage shudder and suddenly stop moving forward.
Song Che stepped out of the car and saw that Jiang Daxia had already jumped on the roof and flew to some ecstasy. No one needed to say more.
"Brother Jiang, take it easy tonight, you are the main force in polo!"
"Don't worry, I know the art of collecting tonics. No matter how weak you are, your shoes won't get wet!"
The art of collecting supplements?
"I have to let him teach it to me no matter what."
…
…
On the twentieth day of the first lunar month, the spring breeze turns to snow.
Early in the morning, Song Che came to the club store and sat in the "hands-on" position, waiting for distinguished guests to come.
"Unprecedented, unprecedented, Boss Song actually came to the store in person."
"Boss, I heard that you like to eat steamed buns, so I made them specially for you."
"The boss lady isn't here again, don't be so reserved, just like before..."
It has to be the girl who came out of the Red Mansion. Every word, every movement, every breath, every look makes people's blood boil.
If it weren't for the fear of a surprise inspection, Song Che would have been unable to control himself.
"You all behave yourself, maybe some big shot will come later——"
Before the words fell.
A group of black-armored Imperial Guards suddenly rushed into the store. The women who had been flirting with each other immediately became restrained and well-behaved, and their fans hid behind Song Che.
Then, a silver-armored general held an official document high, strode into the hall, and said loudly:
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has decreed that in three days, a 'competition to recruit a bride' will be held for Princess Ningguo... Hongxing Society will be solely responsible for this competition!"
Mr. Gao really did not disappoint.
Song Che took the official document with both hands.
The silver-armored general patted him on the shoulder: "Boss Song, this competition is related to the face of the Liang Dynasty, you must resist it!"
"Please rest assured, general, Hongxingshe will definitely fulfill its mission if it takes the lead!"
