Chapter 182: Jiujiu's guess caused a storm
Emperor Zhaoning understood the interests involved, so he was always troubled by these three issues.
Not sure what the problem is.
What's the difficulty?
The unknown is the most stressful thing.
Emperor Zhaoning is under great pressure now, and is afraid that the people of Western Chu will not be able to answer.
He wanted to solve this problem through Jiujiu's voice, but he felt that Jiujiu might not be able to help him this time.
He has to find a way to solve this matter himself.
He has now ordered people to find capable people to help.
But he was still a little worried, but he couldn't help being worried.
Now that he arrived at Li's Mansion, he met Li Canfeng and Li Guangsheng, and then came to Qingyayuan where Concubine Jia was.
Concubine Jia was talking to him, but he didn't hear it.
He was thinking about something deeply, his eyes were dull, and he kept looking in one direction without moving his gaze for a long time.
Concubine Jia followed the direction Emperor Zhaoning was looking and found a maid standing in the direction he was looking.
The girl was very pretty, with thick eyebrows, big eyes and a good figure.
Concubine Jia thought again of the last time Emperor Zhaoning came to Li's house and he was laughing even though he was asleep at night.
She thought at that time that Emperor Zhaoning might have fallen in love with a certain woman.
But after returning to the palace, seeing that Emperor Zhaoning was no longer behaving abnormally, she no longer cared too much about it and the matter was left unresolved.
But now, when he came to Li's Mansion again, he looked in one direction abnormally again. There was a maid standing in that direction.
He looked at it for such a long time without moving his eyes.
Does he really like that girl?
Concubine Jia felt uneasy and a little jealous.
Jiujiu watched the fun and muttered to herself.
[Yo yo yo, who has the emperor taken a fancy to now? ]
[Look at his eyes? He is so obsessed that his soul has been seduced away. ]
[My mother seems jealous too.]
After hearing Jiujiu's thoughts, Emperor Zhaoning came back to his senses instantly and dared not to be in a daze anymore, thus avoiding being misunderstood.
However, Concubine Jia was so angry with him that she left.
Jiujiu: “…”
【Mother is angry.】
[Father, if you dare to look at other women, you will be in trouble! ]
【Jiujiu can’t help you either.】
Emperor Zhaoning was confused. When did he look at other women?
After hearing Jiujiu's thoughts, Concubine Jia became even angrier.
I didn’t expect that even Jiujiu could see it.
It seems that the emperor has really fallen in love with someone else.
He had told her a few days ago that he only liked her, only had her in his heart, and was only attracted by her.
Now it seems that they are all fake.
Men's words cannot be trusted.
"Yiyao, don't walk so fast, wait for me?"
Concubine Jia and Emperor Zhaoning were busy with their own affairs.
Jiujiu was bored, so she found Nan Yuanxiang and the Thirteenth Prince and prepared to go out for a walk.
Now that you're out of the palace, you must seize the time to go shopping and go sightseeing.
The three of them went out wearing the clothes of ordinary young men and women, followed by several guards.
Among the three, Jiujiu is the shortest.
Jiujiu always tilts his neck to look at everything, and his neck feels so sore.
Jiujiu felt a little regretful that she didn't ride Mengmeng out.
The Thirteenth Prince said, "Jiujiu, if you come out riding Mengmeng, everyone on the street will be scared away by you. Why are you still shopping? Just enjoy yourself!"
"It's so boring to entertain yourself!" Jiujiu refused, "Jiujiu doesn't want it."
"So, you can't bring Meng Meng out."
After she finished speaking, Jiujiu saw a few people. They were the same people she met when the envoys from Mobei came to meet her that day.
I think it is the envoy from Mobei.
They seemed to be heading towards the gambling house.
Jiujiu hurriedly said, "Brother Thirteen, little cousin, shall we go over there and take a look?"
Nan Yuanxiang asked; "What's over there?"
"Don't ask, you'll know when you get there."
"That's a gambling house. There are all kinds of people in there. Jiujiu, we can't go there." The Thirteenth Prince stopped him.
"Don't you have Thirteenth Brother to protect you?" Jiujiu looked at the Thirteenth Prince who was much taller than her and said, "Thirteenth Brother is already fifteen years old, he can protect Jiujiu now."
"All right!"
Just like that, Jiujiu, the Thirteenth Prince, and Nan Yuanxiang followed the Mobei envoy to the casino.
They saw the Mobei envoys gambling heavily in the gambling house.
And, always win.
They won a lot of money.
"What's going on? How come those guys in strange costumes never lose?" the Thirteenth Prince muttered.
"I don't know!"
"Look again, I don't believe they keep winning and never lose. This doesn't make sense."
It’s the same if you look at it again, the envoys from Mobei always win.
Win with a rosy face.
There was a pile of silver in front of him.
"They won't cheat, will they?" Jiujiu muttered.
And what Jiujiu muttered was exactly what those who lost a lot of money in the casino were thinking. However, they had no definite evidence and were just guessing. They couldn't say it out loud for fear of being accused of not being able to afford it.
They all hoped that someone would speak for them.
At that time, they just need to agree.
As soon as Jiujiu said this, many people followed suit.
"Yes, those strangers, why don't you lose?"
"You must be cheating and playing dirty tricks."
"You are so disrespectful."
"How dare you cheat?"
Mobei Envoy: “…”
Damn it, he was actually found out?
Who saw that?
Several Mobei envoys were looking for the person who first accused them of cheating.
But the Thirteenth Prince saw that the situation was not right, so he dragged Jiujiu and Nan Yuanxiang out of the casino.
Inside the casino, the owner sent people to confiscate the money won by several Mobei envoys, and then ordered them to kick them out.
They also don't like people who always win and never lose.
No matter whether he is cheating or not.
Since everyone is saying that he is cheating, then he is cheating.
Deserves to be kicked out.
Several envoys from Mobei were very unwilling.
"Our cheating methods are very sophisticated and difficult for others to detect. Who saw through it first?"
"I don't know, go back!"
"Yes, let's stop gambling and go back, lest Lord Wu finds out."
"Go back and prepare to meet with the Emperor of Western Chu and wait for them to answer three questions."
"Okay, let's go."
No one knew that the matter of several Mobei envoys cheating was purely a casual remark made by Jiujiu, which was mostly speculation. Jiujiu had no evidence, and could not tell whether the Mobei envoys cheated or not.
But Jiujiu's guess attracted a lot of responses and won the agreement of everyone.
This led to the envoys from Mobei being paid and driven out.
·
The envoys from Mobei came to the emperor for an audience on this day.
Their three questions were finally revealed.
This first question stumped the people of Western Chu.
Several envoys from Mobei were very proud, thinking that they were finally superior to others and no longer intimidated or trampled under the feet of the Western Chu people.
They also started whispering.
"They definitely don't have an answer."
"It seems that there aren't many talented people among the people of Western Chu?"
"After we go back, we can prepare to join forces with the Southern Kingdom to attack Western Chu."
