The news that the little prince Qu Le was going to compete with the Tang envoy and guerrilla general Zhao Ziliang quickly spread throughout Tuozhe City.
The city was full of uproar, and Sogdians in all the streets and alleys rushed to tell each other.
Some shrewd businessmen even made a handicap.
The odds of winning the little prince Qu Le were 0.5 to 1, and the odds of winning Zhao Ziliang were 0.5 to 1.
But by the afternoon of that day, few people in the city had won by buying Zhao Ziliang.
In order to attract more people to participate in the purchase, the merchants who opened the offer immediately adjusted the odds of Zhao Ziliang to 1 to 5.
Seeing such a huge odds , many people in the city bought Zhao Ziliang to win.
The next morning, before dawn, thousands of people gathered in the open space outside the east city gate.
These were the people in the city and passing merchants who came to watch the competition between Qu Le and Zhao Ziliang.
In order to maintain order, people passed by Mohe Chu Tutun They had to send soldiers and horses to draw a circle with ropes around the competition venue, and drive the onlookers out of the circle, so that the order became better.
Just after breakfast time, Küle, who was dressed in armor, rode a tall horse, carried a huge mace, and came to the competition venue with dozens of followers.
When the people onlookers saw Küler, they couldn't help raising their hands and shouting: Cheers, after all, Küller is their little prince, of course they support him.
People moved out of the way, and Kule rode his horse to see the people welcoming his arrival.
He was very proud and happy, and kept waving to the people.
Entering the large competition venue, Qu Le saw that there was no one on the venue, but there were a sea of people around him.
It was obvious that Zhao Ziliang had not come yet.
He jumped off the horse, and an attendant immediately brought a chair and placed it beside him for him to sit down.
To recuperate his energy, there were two followers who pinched his legs and beat his back.
An attendant brought a large roast leg of lamb and a barrel of wine and said, "Your Highness, you haven't eaten yet this morning.
I have prepared wine and food for you."
Quler was very happy.
He picked up the roasted leg of lamb with a big smile and praised: "Well done, well done.
Please give me a reward."
"Ah, thank you, Your Highness, Your Highness, thank you, Your Highness," Kühler ate the mutton and drank the wine.
His mouth was full of oil, and the wine stains were everywhere on his body.
He didn't care at all.
He grunted when he gnawed the lamb leg, like a big fat pig.
What it looks like when eating.
After eating and drinking enough, Qu Le threw the mutton bones with all the meat on the ground, held a wine bucket in one hand and poured a few sips into his mouth.
Seeing that Zhao Ziliang hadn't come yet, he suddenly became angry, "Humph, this Tang Dynasty Why hasn’t the messenger Zhao Ziliang come yet?
Is it because he is afraid of me?"
Someone among the entourage brought by Qu Le immediately flattered and echoed: "That's right, with the power of the eldest prince, who can not be afraid of Zhao Ziliang?
He must be afraid, otherwise the sun is already three poles high, why hasn't he come yet?"
Küle was about to speak when someone shouted loudly: "The king is here!"
All the people who were watching the excitement turned to look at the city gate, and saw that the people on the street stepped aside one after another.
The street soon vacated, and the special carriage of King Mohechu Tutun came out under the protection of the palace guard cavalry.
Come over to the city gate and then The soldiers who maintained order at the scene drove the people on the road from the city gate to the competition venue to both sides of the road.
Soldiers immediately stood guard on both sides of the road with long spears or spears, leaving a path for the king's special carriage leading to the competition. field channel.
The royal carriage from Mohechu Tutun came all the way, and the musicians from the palace band played music with huqin, morinouqin, tambula, twelve muqam, hotwap, labupu, sabayi and other instruments.
Seeing the king's chariot approaching, thousands of people present stopped making noises and watched without blinking.
The king's chariot was neither fast nor slow.
It took several minutes to walk from the city gate to the competition ground.
The carriage stopped outside the competition ground.
Mohe Chu Tutun, wearing a big cloak, stepped off the carriage on the back of a slave.
Under the protection of the guards, he walked into the competition ground, and then entered the stage specially set up for him and the ministers.

In the viewing stand, only when he took the stage and sat down, the civil and military ministers who followed him came in one after another and took their seats on the viewing stand.
Due to the arrival of Mohechu Tutun and many civil and military ministers, the soldiers controlled the scene more strictly, and the onlookers were driven to the cordon a few meters away from the venue.
Unexpectedly, there was a gap between the venue and the onlookers. , every two meters there is a soldier standing guard with a spear.
In order to clearly see the situation on the competition ground, many young people, young men, and children climbed to the nearby big trees, and some adults lifted the children above their heads and put them on their shoulders.
Embassy.
Qu Le was fuming outside the East City Gate, while Zhao Ziliang was drawing a map in the embassy.
He put down his brush, exhaled a breath, twisted his neck, and finally completed the topographic map of Shiguo.
This may be the best thing these days.
Now comes the second happiest thing for him.
The first happiest thing is of course getting the cloud-patterned golden nail Zaoyang Yang made by Fu Kun, a magic weapon.
At this time Chu Ge knocked on the door and walked in and said: "General, it's almost time to go to the East City Gate to compete with Qu Le."
"Oh" Zhao Ziliang stood up, pointed to the huge sheepskin map spread on the ground and said, "roll it up and put it away" Chu Ge waved to one of the attendants next to him, then pointed to another attendant and said: "Quickly bring the general's robes and weapons, put on the armor for the general, and tell the general's groom to take Wuli to the door and wait."
"promise"
Ten minutes later, Zhao Ziliang had already put on his armor and helmet, and walked to the door of the embassy with a cloud-patterned golden nail in hand.
The grooms and retinues were already ready at the door.
He got on the horse with the weapon in hand and waved his hand. : "Let's go outside the east city gate" The group of people rode their horses and quickly arrived outside the east city gate.
When they heard that Zhao Ziliang had arrived, all the people from the Stone Kingdom who were watching looked at Zhao Ziliang.
In their opinion, although Zhao Ziliang was about the same height as Qu Le, his body shape was not that of Qu Le. , but after all, Qu Le is stronger than Zhao Ziliang, and he must be much braver than Zhao Ziliang.
Zhao Ziliang will definitely lose in this competition, and most people are talking about it.
Chu Ge and others were blocked from the arena on horseback by the soldiers of the Shi Kingdom.
Zhao Ziliang rode into the arena on Wuli.
Qu Le, who was sitting on a chair drinking wine, saw Zhao Ziliang arriving and immediately stood up and shouted: "Zhao Ziliang" General, my father, the ministers and this prince have been waiting for you for a long time.
Why are you here now?
You are so unafraid of the attention of my father and this prince."
Zhao Ziliang raised his head and looked at the dim sun in the sky, and said calmly: "The king, princes and all the adults came early, and this general came just in time, not too early nor too late."
"Humph, you deliberately made me wait here."
"Okay."
Mo Hechu Tutun raised his hand to stop Qu Le from continuing to pester him.
"Since General Zhao has arrived and the time for the competition has come, let's stop talking nonsense and let's get started."
Hearing this, Küler poured a few big gulps from the wine barrel into his mouth, smashed the barrel to the ground, and the remaining wine flowed to the ground.
The aroma of the wine spread instantly.
He turned over on top of himself with a huge mace.
The horse galloped to the middle of the field, pointed the mace at Zhao Ziliang and shouted: "General Zhao, if you have time to admit defeat now, you will not be knocked off the horse by this prince later and lose face."
"Wouldn't it be even more embarrassing to just admit defeat without fighting?
This general is not that cowardly.
Let's stop talking nonsense and let my subordinates see the truth."
After Zhao Ziliang finished speaking, he shouted loudly and clamped his legs hard on the horse's belly. , Wuli knew what he meant, stepped back and kicked hard, and immediately rushed out.
Qu Le was quite surprised to see Zhao Ziliang's horse starting so fast, but Shiguo is also a place where good horses are produced, and the mount he sat on was not an ordinary thing.
Under his urging, the mount rushed towards Zhao Ziliang.
Under everyone's gaze, the weapons of the two men collided together like lightning, making a loud noise.
Everyone felt their ears shake and became deaf for an instant.
It was not until a few breaths later that they returned to normal.
At this time, Zhao Ziliang and Qu Le Only then did they rein in their horses, and both turned around to face each other again.
Both sides said in their hearts at the same time: "What a great effort."
Zhao Ziliang knew very well that the reason why he had such great strength was because the cool air flowing out of his fingers had transformed his body, so his strength was far beyond that of ordinary people.

However, Qu Le, who was facing him, could be described as a true innate divine power.
The exploratory attack just now , he had already felt that although Qu Le's strength was smaller than his own, the difference was not much different.
Just looking at the giant mace used by the opponent, he knew that the weight of the mace was definitely no lighter than the golden nail in his hand.
At this time, Qu Le was even more horrified in his heart.
He had been born with supernatural powers since he was a child and had never met anyone stronger than him.
But today he found out that the Tang general in front of him was not at all inferior to him in strength.
This made him He had to brace himself to deal with it carefully.
The two men stared at each other, and once again rode up to fight each other.
This time, the two sides did not sprint again, but directly fought each other.
The two horses ran side by side, and the two men fought constantly on horseback.
All the people who were watching saw the two men fighting non-stop, and they raised their hands and cheered loudly for the people they supported.
It was obvious that the vast majority of people present were those who supported Qu Le, while there were very few people cheering for Zhao Ziliang.
These people were basically gamblers who bought him to win.
After more than a dozen moves, Zhao Ziliang discovered that Qu Le only had a lot of strength and could only hit him with the mace, but had no other attack moves at all.
After discovering this, Zhao Ziliang was no longer interested in playing with him.
In order to completely convince Qu Le, he decided to defeat him with the most violent attack.
"Ha" Zhao Ziliang took the time to swing away Quler's mace, and the horse in his hand struck down from the air like lightning.
Quler had no time to dodge, so he could only block it with his mace, but only one end of his mace could be held, and the other One end was all made of iron nails and could not be held at all.
As a result, he could only wave the mace with both hands to try to swing Zhao Ziliang's horse away.
It's just that Zhao Ziliang didn't hit it with all his strength.
He withdrew his force quickly.
After hitting it, he immediately put it away and then hit it again at lightning speed.
As a result, Qu Le couldn't block his horse. , facing Zhao Ziliang's constant attacks, he could only keep blocking.
After doing this dozens of times, Quler's arm was completely numb from the shock.
After blocking fifty-four times, he could no longer hold the mace.
The mace was smashed to the ground by Zhao Ziliang, and it fell to Zhao Ziliang's hand.
The horse didn't stop, and its head was placed on Quler's neck with a "swish" sound.
The scene was silent.
Qu Le was defeated, and Zhao Ziliang still defeated him with strength.
Qu Le's hands kept shaking, and he looked at the sharp claws on his neck with a depressed expression, his face turned gray.
Zhao Ziliang took back the horse, cupped his hands and said, "Prince Qu Le, I accept the concession."
Most of the people watching sighed.
They did not dare to scold Qu Le for making them lose money.
They could only express their dissatisfaction with Qu Le with sighs.
Those who bought Zhao Ziliang to win immediately cheered loudly.
Mohechu Tutun immediately stood up and announced that Zhao Ziliang had won, ending the competition in time
