Chapter six hundred and eighty third: death battle
The sky became brighter and brighter, and the spicy sun rose slowly, with dazzling light, illuminating the schoolyards of the five military camps.
Everyone was waiting anxiously. Some of the ministers sitting in the colored shed on the left looked excited, while others had their faces turned pale. However, Liu Jian sat high and everyone did not dare to act rashly. At most, they just bit their ears and whispered.
Xie Qian, Li Dongyang, Jiao Fang, Zhang Cai and others were all around Liu Jian. Liu Jian calmly sipped the tea and said, "How long will it take to be auspicious?"
Zhang Cai looked at the sun and said, "It's almost time, it's only a few incense sticks."
After Zhang Cai said that, he became silent again in the coloring shed.
After a while, Jiao Fang smiled and said, "I don't know if there are some things outside, have you heard of them?"
Liu Jian did not answer the conversation, Xie Qian lowered his head and drank tea, Li Dongyang pursed his lips, and he always was easy-going, so he said, "Oh, I don't know what's going on?"
Jiao Fang stroked his beard and smiled, "Aren't you all saying that when you meet people, you say that the Cavalry Camp will be defeated? Alas... We are all ministers of the Ming Dynasty. The so-called salary of the king and the matter of loyalty to the king. If he really thinks that the Cavalry Camp is good or not, it's okay. He told me in private, but when he meets everyone, do you really hope that the Tatars will win? Alas... The young man doesn't know the importance of it, I... To be honest, it would be fine if our Cavalry Camp wins, but if he loses, the feelings will be surging by then..."
His words made the atmosphere in the coloring shed tense.
In fact, what Jiao Fang said is not unreasonable. If you win, you will say that Ye Chunqiu is exaggerating. After all, everyone is immersed in joy, so naturally they don’t have the heart to worry about what Ye Xiu had said; but what about defeat?
Once you lose, everyone will be disappointed and depressed, and you will definitely need to vent. In the face of the fierce crowd, who will the fingers of countless people point to?
Liu Jian was still expressionless, Xie Qian deliberately slaps the void, and couldn't help but mutter, "There are flies here."
Li Dongyang couldn't help but cough to cover up Xie Qian's unswerving voice.
After hearing this, Jiao Fang didn't care at all, but there was a meaningful smile on her lips.
Zhang Cai, who was standing aside, became interested: "To be honest, there are already rumors outside now. This writer Ye..." He narrowed his eyes and looked at Liu Jian's face carefully; "It's probably because of unintentional words, but reasonably, it would also make people feel cold..."
As he was talking, the outside world was shaking and someone said, "Here you come."
Sure enough, two teams had arrived at the schoolyard. The schoolyard of the five military camps was extremely large, covering an area of 100 acres. At this moment, the crowd made their debut one after another, and saw the cavalry camp coming with people and horses. They were all in full spirit, and a burst of cheers burst out from the crowd.
Wang Ju, the commander of the cavalry camp led the team, looked solemn. At this time, he sat on a tall horse and led everyone to the school ground.
The cavalry camp is indeed an elite force, and it immediately lined up, and each of them seemed quite majestic and powerful.
Zhu Houzhao squinted his eyes on the stage and looked at the Knight Camp. He was originally quite worried, but now when he saw the Knight Camp, he felt a little hope ignited in his heart.
But Batumonk couldn't help but sneer and showed contempt for the cavalry camp.
Zhu Hou took a look at Batumonk, a little angry, and couldn't help but say, "What, does the Tatar Khan think that my Ming Dynasty cavalry is not worth mentioning?"
Batumonk said arrogantly: "Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty has abundant resources, and Xiao Khan has his own knowledge. He can be said to be a rich Tatar tribe thousands of times, but it is his turn to ride a horse, haha..."
With a shout, he revealed all his disdainful arrogance, and everything was silent.
However, at this moment, Ye Chunqiu quietly took out a bamboo tube from his arms, which was the telescope he made himself. He picked up the bamboo tube and glanced at the school ground. Almost everyone could clearly see the school ground a hundred feet away.
Zhu Houzhao looked sideways and realized that he had not brought Ye Chunqiu to his telescope. He couldn't help but feel upset and said to Ye Chunqiu: "Ye Aiqing, take me and take a look."
Ye Chunqiu handed the telescope to Zhu Houzhao. Zhu Houzhao took it but did not look at the school site. Instead, he looked at Batumonk who was sitting not far away. He saw that Batumonk's head suddenly became huge and every thread on his face was clearly visible.
He grinned, wishing to crush this person's bones and ashes. He looked at his bright red nose and couldn't help but say, "Ye Aiqing, I heard you say that people with red noses are often inhumane, right?"
This is just the unintentional words that Ye Chunqiu and Zhu Houzhao had once talked. Ye Chunqiu didn't expect Zhu Houzhao to talk about this at this time, and then said, "Well, this is just a rumor, but it must be groundless."
Zhu Houzhao smiled and said to Batumonknu, "Tartar Khan..."
Batumonk looked back at Zhu Houzhao, but saw Zhu Houzhao looking at him with a smile on his face, then stretched out his hand: "I gave birth to five in one breath..."
Batumonk was slightly stunned, looking confused.
Ye Chunqiu, who was next to him, was already coughing desperately, and wanted to laugh loudly, and almost suffered internal injuries.
Zhu Houzhao put down the telescope. At this time, a group of people had already come out slowly, but at this time, there was no cheer and everyone was very quiet.
This is the guards brought by Batumonk from the desert, the Golden Tent Guard, known as the Tatar Imperial Guard. These people were all wearing leather armor and smelly. People nearby covered their noses and retreated. Their horses were all shorter Mongolian horses. Most of them were not tall, but there was a sharp aura in their eyes, which was hard to ignore.
Ye Chunqiu looked at these people and couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, please use your telescope."
Zhu Houzhao had seen it with a telescope, but he could not see anything good or bad, because the Golden Tent Guard was not as powerful as he imagined. On the contrary, it was very ordinary and did not have much difference from the ordinary Tatars.
Ye Chunqiu took the telescope and looked at the people of the Golden Tent guard one by one, for the Zulu with a scimitar. Zulu turned over the horse. He was tall and tall, almost one head taller than everyone. His waist was like a bucket, and he looked particularly heroic. If he didn't know it, he would have thought he had encountered a wild bear, and the war horse under his seat was not tall and majestic. He was ridiculously ridiculous by such a giant.
Ye Chunqiu did not dare to underestimate them, and then he looked towards the direction of the cavalry camp. The cavalry camp was already sharpening its swords and lined up in a dense line, with the voices of people and horses neighing, which was quite imposing.
At this moment, everyone's focus was on the school ground, and everyone held their breath.
