Chapter 757 Cutting Off His Escape
The news of Song Mo's death was sent out by Li Jieying as quickly as possible.
Not long after, this secret letter arrived in Lu Songli's hands.
"Song Mo passed away?" In fact, Lu Songli was not surprised by the news in the secret letter.
"The Emperor of Dali has passed away, yet the news of his death remains secret?"
"I guess it's about the Tri-State Free Trade Area." After all, the finals over there are coming to an end.
The dragon bell was not even rung.
For this, Lu Songli admires Song Mo very much.
This must have been the instructions given by the late Emperor Song Mo before his departure. Otherwise, Xie Zhan and the Empress Dowager Ye Xian would not dare to do so.
As the king of a country, Song Mo felt really embarrassed to suffer such injustice.
An emperor who doesn't care about his reputation after his death is completely lying down and giving up.
For the sake of his country and his descendants, he endured such grievances and finally began to behave a little like the late emperor.
"We are doing everything according to plan."
…
When the polo match entered the second half, all military deployments in Pingzhou had been completed.
October is the finals season and the battle is about to begin.
At this time, the Three-State Free Trade Zone was also filled with a sense of impending storm. Although it appeared calm on the surface, there were undercurrents surging inside.
The finals were about to begin, and Wang Yun's face looked very unhappy.
To this day, whether they are willing to admit it or not, the fact is that their schemes were merely a pretext for others. They didn't make any money; it all went to Qingzhou District.
Now, with each of the three parties having a polo team advance to the finals, everyone will undoubtedly gather their strongest players on the finals team.
I remember that they were full of confidence at the beginning, thinking that they could reap Pingzhou and all the civilians by manipulating the results of the game.
Unfortunately, after two months of competition, the situation was very different from what they had expected.
Except for the matches against Dali and Xianbei, which were under their control, they were unable to accurately control the scores in the matches against Pingzhou, or they could not control the scores at all!
At this moment, Wang Yun realized that he had actually lost control of the entire game.
In other words, it is no longer up to them to decide who will win the final or which side will win the championship.
The prize money is another matter. The champion took 70% of it, so both sides lost a little more than half.
The most important thing is the ownership of the three states, the winner takes all!
"No, we can't let the game go to the end!" Wang Yun was really scared at this time.
Tuoba Jin: "What are you talking about?"
Wang Yun repeated what he had just said and also expressed his concerns.
To put it bluntly, he can't afford to lose.
Tuoba Jin jumped up when he heard this, "Why? I don't agree!"
He refused to do it because he felt that the Xianbei still had a great chance of winning.
What a greedy fool! Wang Yun cursed inwardly, "What if, what if your Xianbei team also loses to Pingzhou? Wouldn't that give Pingzhou a legitimate opportunity to attack?"
Tuoba Jin still refused to agree, he didn't care! Even if they really lost, Shengle was in the center of the grassland, what could Pingzhou do to them?
Tuoba Jin knew that Dali and Xianbei were actually secretly wary of Pingzhou at this time.
"Don't be afraid. You are not fighting alone. We have a chance of winning, and the chance is very high." Tuoba Jin advised Wang Yun.
"Our two teams can fight freely among ourselves, without wasting time. When you face Pingzhou, focus on wearing down their physical strength. If they lose, we lose, and we can win back later."
"Sir Wang, are you afraid we can't handle them in a round-robin match? Then your Dali polo team is really useless, isn't it?"
Tuoba Jin's words convinced Wang Yun. Although his mood still couldn't brighten up, he seemed less worried.
Seeing Wang Yun finally come to an agreement, Tuoba Jin couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This Han Chinese person's mind is really difficult to deal with. Fortunately, he had Cao Huating by his side. If he hadn't been there, he would have been unable to resist arguing with Wang Yun just now.
And they also prepared some secret moves.
On this side, Wang Yun and Tuoba Jin Gang finished their discussion, and on the other side, Lu Desheng and Zhang Xian came strolling over.
Zhang Xian was very respectful to Lü Desheng.
Putting aside Lü Desheng's identity, even though Zhang Xian was currently the chief officer of the Qingzhou District of the Sanzhou Free Trade Zone, he was still Lü Desheng's unofficial apprentice. Shouldn't an apprentice be respectful to his master?
"Oh, they're all here."
Wang Yun and Tuoba Jin looked at each other. What was Lu Desheng doing here?
Tuoba Lian, who was sent by Tuoba Khan to assist his second brother, had a bad premonition when he saw Lu Desheng.
When passing Tuoba Lian, Lu Desheng paused, "Hey, little Lianzi, you're here too?"
Tuoba Lian frowned. "Who are you calling 'little Lianzi'?" Then he turned his face away.
Lü Desheng: Oh, so you're pretending you don't know him? Okay.
"Lord Lu, Lord Zhang, is there something that brings you here together?" Wang Yun asked. He didn't want the secret alliance between Dali and Xianbei to be shaken because of Lu Desheng's attitude.
Lu Desheng glanced at him, and he tried to sow discord between them slightly, but he couldn't stand it?
Lü Desheng and Zhang Xian ignored Wang Yun's question. Zhang Xian stepped forward, pulled out a chair, and invited Lü Desheng to sit down.
After Lu Desheng sat down, he said, "Isn't the finals coming up soon? I think it's better to say some things upfront."
Zhang Xian agreed, "Yes, before the competition, the three of us must agree on three rules. Otherwise, there's no point in having the finals."
After hearing this, Wang Yun, Tuoba Jin and others were puzzled. Is Pingzhou getting stage fright?
"How do you want to set the rules?" Tuoba Jin asked impatiently.
"The first and only point is this. During the finals, unless it rains knives from the sky, the game cannot be stopped. If either side calls for a stoppage, it's tantamount to admitting defeat. They'll be giving up the city and prize money they've staked on."
Wang Yun's pupils shrank at these words. Lü Desheng's words were meant to cut off their retreat. This only confirmed his earlier worries. The worries that had just been so hard to repel by Tuoba Jin came back to him.
Wang Yun's face looked very ugly.
He sneered, "Lord Lu made such a rule because he thinks Pingzhou will win?"
Lu Desheng shot back, "Lord Wang, there's no need to test us with words. We don't care whether we win or lose, but we Pingzhou people always see things through to the end, understand?"
Wang Yun said he didn’t understand!
"This request is very simple. I don't think it is excessive for Pingzhou to make such a request. Why are you hesitant?" Lu Desheng asked calmly.
Anyway, they have to agree to this condition whether they want to or not. Of course, it would be fine if they agree, but if they don’t, we will just rob Pingzhou!
Once the arrow is shot, there's no turning back. From the moment they placed a heavy bet on a large-scale polo match, it was destined that this match would have a result. At this point, how could they afford to retreat when the situation turned sour?
Pingzhou spent so much manpower, material resources and financial resources to participate in the competition, not to make people laugh.
"Of course there is no problem for us Xianbei." Tuoba Jin said proudly.
Lü Desheng and Zhang Xian exchanged a glance. Tuoba Jin's thoughts were too easy to guess. He thought it was a free bet, so he gambled big. But he didn't understand his daughter, the governor, well enough. He would die miserably.
Wang Yun gritted his teeth and said, "We in Dali will naturally have no problem."
"That's great. Now that we've all reached a consensus, let's sign this agreement."
Another agreement to sign! Why does Pingzhou always like to do this?
Tuoba Jin signed his name indifferently.
Wang Yun signed his name with a pale face.
