Wu Zetian stared sharply at Li Xian.
If she still didn't understand what was going on, she wouldn't be worthy of continuing to sit on the throne.
Li Xian hadn't placed any bets, not because Ling Yue had guessed that he was hesitant or afraid.
He had been holding back until now because he was worried that she would stop him.
Now, even if she wanted to stop him, she couldn't.
The finals were about to begin, and the nobles had all heard it. As the emperor, she could not do things as she pleased. There were some things that she had to take into account the emperor's face.
Forcing her to do so would only damage her dignity as the emperor.
Just like now.
If she stopped him…
What would the world think?
The Sage Emperor was a sore loser?
Praising the Wu family and suppressing the direct grandson?
Even if she was the emperor, she could not bear these rumors.
Li Xian had undoubtedly grasped this point and caught her off guard, not giving her any time or space to operate.
Her nephew and grandnephew's actions made Wu Zetian even angrier.
A bunch of fools blinded by hatred!
Hatred made them forget to weigh the pros and cons.
Li Xian only lost two million strings.
However, their odds were 150 times. If they lost, it would be 300,000 strings of strings!
It was a figure that even if he went bankrupt, he wouldn't be able to come up with!
Moreover, why didn't they think about it? Li Xian had deliberately avoided her, the emperor, to do this. Did he not have any confidence?
Everything was not going well. As Wu Zetian thought about it, even though she was an emperor and was extremely shrewd, her expression gradually darkened.
"Let's begin!"
Wu Zetian said in a deep voice and turned around to walk into the city tower.
The influential families looked deeply at Li Xian, and some of the qualified people followed him into the city tower.
Most of the lower-grade ones took the initiative to walk up the wooden steps with their backs against the city wall.
Li Lingyue deliberately fell behind and looked deeply at Li Xian." I've really underestimated you.”
Li Xian smiled." Aunt is the one who is invincible."”
Li Lingyue's expression instantly turned cold. She already knew that Li Xian probably knew that she would betray him.
He kept betting until the last moment, when two million strings of strings were placed.
Not only to guard against his mother.
He was also wary of her!
The corners of Li Lingyue's eyes twitched. Li Xian's shrewdness made her feel afraid.
Humph!
Li Lingyue snorted coldly and left.
"Little bastard, let's see how you die!”The one-armed Wu Sansi gritted his teeth as he passed by Li Xian.
Li Xian didn't show any weakness and sneered," Old bastard of the Wu Clan, you'd better pray for your own good. Think about how you'll pay 300,000 strings of strings after you lose!"”
All the warriors looked at Li Xian with murderous intent as he entered the city tower.
Li Xian nodded at Qiao Junbei." Junbei, you're in charge of the rest.”
Qiao Junbei nodded.
Qiao Junbei had witnessed the entire process, and even now, his heart was pounding with fear.
Li Xian walked into the tower.
Hundreds of pairs of eyes stared at him.
Just as he was about to find a place, Wu Zetian waved her hand.
"Tell me about the competition schedule.”
Li Xian stood at the side and said," The finals are different from regular competitions. The finals will be decided by three rounds.”
After a brief introduction, he stopped.
"The first Great Tang Glory Tournament, the finals of the second year of Tianshou, begins now!”Outside the city tower, Qiao Junbei mustered up his courage and shouted.
Qiao Junbei's lips trembled as he shouted out the glory of the Great Tang.
Dong dong dong…
The urgent drumbeats sounded.
Wu Zetian sat by the window and noticed that on the east and west sides of the arena, competitive courageous warriors covered in strange armor appeared on horseback.
The silver-white armor wrapped around his body was heavy and solemn. As soon as he appeared, coupled with the rapid drumming, everyone felt a heavy killing intent even before the battle began.
The high-ranking officials and clan masters behind Wu Zetian craned their necks to watch.
Qiao Junbei subconsciously turned his head to look at the city tower behind him. The pairs of eyes made him extremely nervous.
He tried his best to calm his uneasiness. He took a deep breath and slowly raised the flag in his hand.
In the next moment, he waved it fiercely.
"Kill them!"
In the arena, the courageous warriors from both sides shouted at the same time.
Rumble…
The drumbeats stopped, and the heavy and hurried hooves of the warhorses sounded.
The officials and lords who had just sat down couldn't help but stand up again.
Five miles apart.
Under the watchful eyes of hundreds of thousands of people, they quickly approached.
As they got closer, the courageous warriors on both sides began to urge their warhorses to speed up and increase their speed…
A ten-foot bamboo sword and a huge iron fist aimed at each other.
Ah!
At the moment of the high-speed collision, the woman from the Wu Clan and the princess consort of the Li Imperial Family, who had come with the saint carriage, were so frightened that they cried out.
Wu Zetian also stood up.
Bang!
The huge iron fist smashed into the opponent's breastplate at the same time, making a loud sound that could be clearly heard even in the city tower.
The next moment, the two courageous warriors were thrown high into the air and flew backward.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Almost at the same time, he crashed heavily onto the ground.
Pa, pa, pa…
On the stage, several people rushed out and carried the two courageous warriors away. Thunderous applause erupted.
The commoners and dignitaries watching from outside the city gate tower stood up excitedly and clapped with all their might, venting the intense excitement produced by the simple and violent collision.
"First round, tie!"
"Team Shengsheng Wuzhou, Team Jiucheng, please prepare for the second round!”
Qiao Junbei's loud order was transmitted into the city tower.
Only then did everyone come back to their senses.
Li Xian noticed that almost everyone had different expressions on their faces. However, there was also something in common, and that was the redness caused by excitement.
He glanced at Wu Zetian from the corner of his eye.
He laughed coldly in his heart.
Currently, there were more than seven hundred high-quality warhorses in the old city.
The Embroidered Uniform Guards also gradually infiltrated these battle teams.
As long as he needed it, he could control the old city and use forceful methods to directly commandeer the warhorses and armor in the city with the cooperation of the Embroidered Uniform Guards.
As long as they won today, then the individual competition schedule would be selected. The brave and courageous people trained by them would definitely become the hot cakes for the powerful and wealthy families.
With the help of the team transfer trading system, he could place more courageous people who had developed into Embroidered Uniform Guards into the various competitive teams.
Wu Zetian was also observing Li Xian.
She knew that this kind of competition was bound to replace polo.
The collision of brute force was undoubtedly more exciting than polo. It made one's blood boil.
And this characteristic hit the sore point of the rich and powerful.
Li Xian relied on this competition to build the entertainment industry in the old city, and the prosperity of the old city would definitely succeed.
It was clear that this competitive sport was bound to become a trend, and Wu Zetian was even more unwilling to let this sport continue to carry the glorious name of the Great Tang.
However, the contest just now clearly showed that the two teams were evenly matched.
Wu Zetian turned to look at Wu Chengsi.
Zhu Wu no longer had the arrogance he had when he was speaking harshly in front of Li Xian.
His expression was particularly solemn.
Noticing Wu Zetian's gaze, Wu Chengsi's heart tightened.
"Team Sacred Martial Arts wants to change members!”A Luohai was even more anxious, and he couldn't wait to shout at Qiao Junbei who was outside.
Others might not know, but he knew.
In order to gain the upper hand and leave a good impression on the Sage Emperor, he sent out the Thousand Bull Guards with the best record in the first round.
But it was a draw!
This made A Luohai realize how powerful the old soldiers of the Old City Team were.
He panicked!
Everyone turned to look at A Luohai.
They could all sense A Luohai's panic and unease.
A Luohai was being watched by hundreds of pairs of eyes, especially when Wu Zetian, Wu Chengsi, and the others looked over. He felt even more uneasy.
In the next second, hundreds of pairs of eyes looked at Wu Zetian and Li Xian.
Only Wu Zetian and Li Xian had the right to speak on this matter.
Li Xian was the organizer, and Wu Zetian was the emperor.
If Li Xian agreed or not, would the Emperor not care about his face and interfere?
