Li Musen almost laughed out loud. Looking at Zhao Kang with a weird smile, his smile became even brighter.
"How do you want to play, Master Zhao? Your Highness will play with you!"
Zhao Kang pretended to be surprised: "Really? It is His Highness the Second Highness who is in charge of whether there will be a national disaster this week?"
Li Musen's face froze, and Emperor Li Chengkun said calmly: "The Imperial Master is joking. But since the Imperial Master is also very elegant, then I, Da Zhou, as the host, will naturally accompany me."
"No matter how big or small the Imperial Master wants to be, you can do it!"
"Okay! Your Majesty is really happy!"
Zhao Kang sat upright, and many people felt that this time Zhou State held this Four Kingdoms Cultural Conference on his birthday to target him, Zhao Kang.
But who knew that Zhao Kang originally came to this Four Nations Cultural Conference?
He looked at Li Musen with a smile: "Ten million, do you dare to play with it?"
Everyone gasped, they didn't expect Zhao Kang's appetite to be so big!
Ten million silver is one-third of Zhou's annual tax revenue!
Zhou's military strength was severely damaged in the last battle. Not only that, but the domestic economy was also affected to a greater or lesser extent.
All the money in the treasury is used to train the army. If the family hadn't been so prosperous before, it would already be stretched thin now.
Chen Shangyun, the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs, who knew the situation of the treasury best, immediately reprimanded: "Master Zhao is so open-mouthed! Aren't you afraid of overstuffing yourself?"
Zhao Kang just said: "Forget it if you don't dare to play."
The Minister of the Ministry of Finance was so angry that he almost died.
Li Musen's face was equally ugly. He looked at Li Chengkun who looked indifferent, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Since the Imperial Master is so confident, I will accompany you!"
"Have the guts!"
Zhao Kang gave a thumbs up, but anyone could tell that his smile was mocking.
He looked at Princess Pearl again, and the latter's heart skipped a beat.
Zhao Kang smiled and said: "Princess Pearl?"
Princess Mingzhu frowned and said: "Master, Yanran does not carry so many banknotes."
Zhao Kang said: "Hey, if you don't have money to play, can you try another way?"
Seeing his malicious smile, Princess Mingzhu said bravely: "Please give me advice from the Imperial Master."
"My master loves beauty the most in his life, especially a beauty as stunning as Her Royal Highness."
Zhao Kang chuckled and looked at Princess Mingzhu's sudden change of expression: "Since Her Royal Highness the Princess does not bring so much money, then she can use herself as the lucky draw. If our teacher wins the first prize in the literary society, the princess will follow Zhao Kang and serve tea.
Become a slave and a maid!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed drastically.
The second prince Li Musen stood up angrily: "Zhao Kang!"
"Is something wrong?" Zhao Kang asked.
Seeing his unconcerned look, Li Musen's face turned the color of pig liver with anger, and a smile flashed across Li Muyi's lips next to him.
Princess Mingzhu stared at Zhao Kang: "National Master, isn't this inappropriate?"
"That's right. In the eyes of my master, Her Royal Highness the Princess is worth ten million!" Zhao Kang said with a smile.
Ye Hongxue beside her didn't say anything. She knew that Zhao Kang must have a reason for doing this.
Looking at Princess Mingzhu's unkind face, Zhao Kang sneered in his heart, "He wanted me to attract Zhou's firepower for one hundred thousand taels of silver."
It's too cheap for you. How can there be a free lunch in the world?
Princess Mingzhu sighed but did not speak. Zhao Kang yawned: "It seems that the princess is not interested anymore, so forget it. Our master will not force others to do anything."
"your Highness!"
Li Musen spoke at this time, and Princess Mingzhu looked over. The former hesitated immediately, not knowing how to speak.
After all, Princess Mingzhu came to Zhou Kingdom to get married this time, and the person she was going to marry was Li Musen.
Is it possible that he wants to persuade his fiancée to take him to prison?
Seeing Li Musen's angry and hesitant expression, Princess Mingzhu came to her senses instantly and looked at Zhao Kang again.
She immediately understood that this was Zhao Kang's method of helping her.
As long as Zhao Kang wins, then she will have to be a slave serving tea and water as agreed.
I don't have to marry Li Musen, and I can blame everything on Zhao Kang.
It’s not that I don’t want to marry you, it’s just that Zhao Kang is too hateful!
Thinking of Princess Mingzhu, her eyes gradually brightened, and the corners of her lips raised: "Since the Imperial Master said this, then Yanran will stay with her until the end."
"I also have great admiration for the Imperial Master Yan Ran, but all the scholars here are strong in literature and art, so I'm afraid they won't be able to fulfill the Imperial Master's wish."
After saying this, the woman turned to look at Li Musen and said: "Your Highness, it seems that we have to join forces to deal with Zhao Guoshi. Yanran has taken someone into custody. Your Highness, please don't let Yanran down!"
Li Musen's blood suddenly surged as he looked at Princess Pearl's pitiful expression.
At this moment, he felt like a heroic hero, while Zhao Kang was the shameless villain who forced good girls into prostitution.
He even thought that Princess Mingzhu was willing to make such a sacrifice to help him deal with Zhao Kang.
At the moment, I just want to sigh, what more can a husband ask for when he has such a wife?
"Don't worry, Your Highness Princess! Our literary style in Great Zhou Dynasty is so powerful that it cannot be matched by the madmen from a small country!"
Li Musen looked at Zhao Kang with ill intentions and said, "Master Zhao, now Her Royal Highness the Princess and I have agreed to your request, but shouldn't it be time for the Master to take out his own bet?"
Zhao Kang raised his eyebrows: "That's right, but I don't know what His Highness wants our master to pledge."
Li Musen's eyes suddenly revealed a fierce light: "How dare the Imperial Master to escort your country to Tongzhou!"
The faces of Wu Guanhai, Ye Hongxue and others changed instantly!
The latter even said: "Zhao Kang, don't be impulsive!"
Tongzhou is the gateway to Zhanbeizhou and Qianguo.
If any country wants to attack Qian State, the terrain leading to Tongzhou is the best route.
Once Tongzhou is defeated, the Qian Kingdom will lose all its geographical advantages. After Tongzhou, Liangzhou and other places are completely flat, and there is basically no danger to defend except for the city.
Li Musen asked Zhao Kang to use Tongzhou as a bet, which can be said to be Sima Zhao's intention.
"You have quite an appetite." Zhao Kang chuckled.
Li Musen's adrenaline was soaring at this moment, and he just wanted to urge Zhao Kang to agree quickly: "What? The Imperial Master is afraid? Your Highness and I have agreed to your request. Why can't the Imperial Master not dare to agree when it is our turn to make a request?"
"Or are you saying that the Imperial Master cannot be the master? In the final analysis, he is just a subordinate of the empress of your country?"
Zhao Kang took care of himself and got a glass of wine: "You don't need to show off your low-level provoking skills."
After finishing the drink in the glass, Zhao Kang glanced at everyone: "Since I said before, I will play big, then my national division will never have stage fright, isn't it Tongzhou? My national division will bet on Tongzhou to gamble with you.
field!"
Ye Hongxue's eyes were anxious, Wu Guanhai sighed and whispered: "Master, you are too impulsive!"
Li Musen laughed loudly: "Okay! Master Zhao is indeed a dragon and a phoenix among men, so courageous! But there is no proof for what he says. Come here and give me the pen and ink!"
