Han Ruzi slept until early in the morning. The guard Wang He and an eunuch came in to wake him up. The eunuch served the emperor's clothes. Wang He said, "There was a matter of a hundred military officers who shouted that the Chu army was going to take action. The generals in the battalion pressed themselves. It was fine. They came over in the middle of the night to report the situation.

Han Ruzi nodded. This was not the time to drink together last night. Now he is the emperor and the leader of the army.

Wang He has always been calm, but today hesitated and asked: "How did Your Majesty guess that the Baijia Army will not rebel? I really can't understand."

"For the Baijia Army, the time has passed. If they want to rebel, they should start earlier and then go north to welcome the gods and ghosts. Now that the enemy leader has arrived, he is lined up in front of him. Even if the Baijia Army takes my head to seek credit, it will be a death sentence."

Han Ruzi put on her clothes and armor, "I understand the gods and ghosts, and the Baijia Army knows better. They have been forced into a desperate situation and have no choice but to join forces with the Chu Army."

Wang He admired him and bowed and said, "Your Majesty knows people, but I am stupid, and I can't imagine so much."

Han Ruzi smiled slightly. As the emperor, his authority was getting higher and higher, but there was no one around him to tell the truth. He would never tell someone how panicked he was. His eyes were closed but he couldn't fall asleep. He finally fell asleep and dreamed of him being killed...

He would not say anything, everything was hidden in his heart, and everyone could only see or hear about a far-sighted and calm emperor.

Before dawn outside, the soldiers had already got up. Various sounds in the camp intersected, drums, gongs, roars, whip swings... Different troops summoned soldiers in different ways, assigned breakfast, and conducted an instigation and incitement.

Cui Teng and others had already been waiting outside the hall, and they all came up to meet and surrounded the emperor and climbed the viewing tower.

Upstairs, more than ten heads lined up in a row, facing the open area in the north, preparing to "witness" a war.

Cui Teng knelt in front of his father, muttered a few words in a low voice, then stood up and stayed beside the emperor.

The combat plan had been arranged long ago. The emperor symbolically beat the drum upstairs. The officials of the Ministry of War immediately notified the messengers downstairs. More than a dozen soldiers rushed out of the camp with flags on their backs and passed the imperial edicts.

As the sun rises, Han Ruzi said: "Today's sunny is a good day for the decisive battle."

Cui Tengqiao looked away and smiled, "It doesn't seem that there are many enemy troops."

The number of enemy troops was indeed not very large, but it was definitely not smaller than that of the Chu army. Moreover, they were all elite soldiers of the gods and ghosts. It was with this army that he conquered the entire West and drove a large number of soldiers to attack the Great Chu.

The Chu army on the front line had already set up its formation. Fan Chushan should be the first, but it was too far apart and the people on the building couldn't see clearly.

The sun rose a little more, and the troops of both sides began to shoot arrows at each other, causing extremely small casualties. After three rounds, they stopped wasting behavior and sent out the first team to start charging.

Cui Teng was anxious, "Who is General Fan? You must give the enemy a warning."

Wang He was more concerned about the emperor, so he was the first to see something strange and whispered: "Your Majesty..."

Han Ruzi shook her head seriously and whispered: "Nothing is wrong."

Wang He looked at the emperor's pale face and knew that this was definitely not "nothing". He clearly saw the emperor's face showing pain, and it was obviously because of his physical discomfort.

During the last night battle in Beijing, Han Ruzi was injured on her chest and had a broken rib. Afterwards, the imperial doctor was treated with a candle. Han Ruzi prohibited the imperial doctor from coming again, let alone not let him disclose the information to the outside world.

He believed that he could bear it, and he had to bear it. At this time, the emperor's little accident might cause countless suspicions.

When the two armies confront each other in the distance, it must be a fierce battle. From a distance, it is not the case. All the horses ran too slowly, and they could not hear clearly the screams, and even more so the scene of blood splashing was impossible.

A distant viewer can only use imagination to describe the tragedy on the battlefield.

Cui Teng clenched his fists, stretched out of the building halfway, and was dragged back by two guards to prevent him from falling.

Han Ruzi looked for a while, sat on the only chair upstairs, smiled at the accompanying generals and officials, "There is nothing to do, let's make a bet, when will the winner be decided today?"

Everyone was stunned, especially the two generals of the Hundred Family Army. After listening to the translation, they were even more surprised than those of the Chu people.

"I bet around noon and bet 100 taels of silver. Is anyone willing to bet? Cui Teng."

Cui Teng looked at the battlefield in the distance again, "I ended my bet on the time I bid, and I bet...100,000 taels."

Han Ruzi scolded: "I can only bet a hundred taels when talking nonsense. Does your Cui family have more money than the royal family?"

Cui Teng laughed embarrassedly, "Then it's one hundred taels, Shen Shi..., one quarter of an hour away, is it considered me to win?"

"certainly."

Others were still not enthusiastic about participating, and Han Ruzi continued to name the name, "Wang He, you can also guess a time."

"I hope the sooner the better, I will be."

"There is less than an hour left, Wang He, you are obviously going to give money." Cui Teng said with a glaring look.

Wang He smiled, "It's hard to say, maybe I won? If everyone doesn't bet on Si Shi, wouldn't I make a big profit alone?"

"Hey, everyone bet 100 taels, not much in total..." Cui Teng came up in great interest and urged the others upstairs to say time bet, and even the guards and two alien generals did not let go.

Everyone had no choice but to bet, and most of them bet on the end of You or Xu. At that time, it was already dark and the battle could only end.

This is a head-on confrontation, and no one wants to fight at night.

An official from the Ministry of War picked up a pen and wrote it down one by one, feeling nervous and funny.

Han Ruzi looked at the youngest general in the crowd, "Xie Cun, you haven't placed a bet yet?"

Xie Cun once assisted Qu Zixi in guarding the capital and made great contributions. He had not yet given a reward. When the capital army went to support Cui Hong, he did not follow him and escaped.

"Is it the bet that the battle ends, or the bet that the winner is decided?" Xie Cun asked.

"Search to the winner."

"Do you have to beg today?"

"No need." Han Ruzi said.

Xie Cun thought for a while, "I'll take the day off."

Cui Teng shook his head, "You can only bet for a certain hour, not for a day."

"The next day is noon... noon, around the Wei hour." Xie Cun said.

"Have you remembered it all?" Cui Teng asked, and the Ministry of War officials nodded.

Cui Teng was very excited and rubbed his hands, "Actually, I also think that there will be no winner today. Your Majesty, can I bet again?"

"No, guess once per person."

Cui Teng thought for a while, "I'll bet for my father, and he's here too. It should be counted, right?"

"Okay." Han Ruzi agreed.

"The next day, Shen is one hour later than Xie Cun." Cui Tengdao wrote the official in charge of the Ministry of War.

The sound of gongs and drums in the distance suddenly sounded, and Cui Teng was more anxious than anyone else. He ran to the building and looked away, "The Hundreds of Families have joined the war."

This was a critical moment. Two alien generals also came to the side of the building, watched the battle on tiptoe, and said something to each other.

The general translator came forward and wanted to pass the interpretation to the emperor. Han Ruzi waved his hand and said he didn't need it.

Two quarters of an hour later, Cui Teng turned around and said to the emperor solemnly: "The Hundred Family Army is brave and fearless."

Han Ruzi nodded, seemingly not caring.

Wang He was the first to lose. It was already past the hour of Si in the morning and the war was in full swing, and there was no sign of ending.

"Get the silver, one hundred taels." Cui Teng reached out to ask for it, and he had always been serious about gambling.

Wang He patted his body and said awkwardly: "I didn't bring it, wait for me to get it back."

"Is that OK?" Cui Teng asked.

"Sign up accounts." Han Ruzi said.

"Wang He, deputy commander of the Sword and Ji Camp of the Suwei Army, owed 100 taels of silver, a certain year, month and day." Cui Teng dictated, asked the officials of the Ministry of War to record it, and then said to Wang He: "Sign it."

Wang He had no choice but to sign the letter, everyone was surprised, and even cared less about the battles in the distance.

The second one lost was the emperor himself. It was past noon. Cui Teng stepped forward and said with a smile: "Your Majesty loses, your Majesty won't bring any money, right?"

"Wait, I'm talking about around noon, and there's still a quarter of an hour."

Someone in the army specializes in the timekeeping. Every quarter of an hour, a gong sounds came downstairs. Cui Teng listened with his ears and even forgot to watch the battle. As soon as the gong sounded, he immediately smiled at the emperor and said, "It's here."

"Isn't it over?" Han Ruzi couldn't see the battlefield where she sat.

"No, the battle is fierce, almost half of the Baijia Army has participated in the battle."

Han Ruzi really had no money on her, and there were no eunuchs around her, "Okay, I admit defeat and keep the account."

The officials of the Ministry of War did not dare to write and did not know how to write it.

Han Ruzi waved, called pen and paper, and wrote in person: I owe 100 taels of silver, a certain year, month and day. The signature was drawn with a small circle.

Cui Teng glanced at it and smiled and said, "If I win, I don't want money. I will take the words "Your Majesty back and seal them up and frame them, which is priceless."

Han Ruzi snorted, his handwriting was not very good-looking.

Fortunately, Cui Teng didn't win either. The battle was fought from early to late. The two sides were in a stalemate. After dark, they did not decide the outcome and had to retreat.

Fan Chuanshan came back alive, covered in blood. The village had prepared wine and meat. He first grabbed a piece of meat and chewed it a few bites, and then blamed the guards sent by the emperor, "It's even tighter than the enemy, so I won't let me charge at all."

The guards tell another scene. Fan Chishan entered and exited the battlefield several times, changed three horses and more than a dozen long spears, and knocked down at least twenty enemy soldiers.

Cui Teng rushed to Fan Chishan and whispered: "Get a bet."

"Well, what bet?"

Although Cui Teng lost, his gambling was even more aroused, and he showed the paper of the betting, "When will the bet be decided? Today everyone lost, so I will guess it was the day after tomorrow."

"We fought bloody battles on the front line, but you bet on our lives in the rear?"

Cui Teng's face changed color and he hurriedly said, "This is Your Majesty... Tomorrow, tomorrow I will go to the battlefield with you and make a bet with my own life."

Fan Chishan laughed, "I bet before dark tomorrow."
