"Why should I bet with you?" Nangong Yue's eyes were flickering, and her eyes were coldly looking at him.

Thinking about the few days ago, Li Xiaoyao threatened Sumular's life to force her to stop on a hunger strike.

A shameless and despicable villain like this, only a fool would bet on him.

"You don't want to hear, what are the conditions I have given you?" Li Xiaoyao said leisurely with a calm expression.

"Not interested!"

Nangong Yue's pretty face turned cold and she simply turned around, too lazy to talk nonsense to him.

"If you win, I will never attack Chu State in my life, and I will immediately give you freedom. However, since you are not interested, let's forget it!" Li Xiaoyao's dragon robe was shocked and walked out of the courtyard.

"What?" Nangong Yue looked back and was startled, hurriedly ran and chased after him, quickly following him and asked, "What you said just now, do you take it seriously?"

"Aren't you not interested?" Li Xiaoyao said casually, and his pace did not slow down.

"Li Xiaoyao, do you say count?" Nangong Yue speeded up, blocked his way, and said with a tough voice.

"Those who believe in me do not need to say much, and those who do not believe in me do not say much is useless." Li Xiaoyao stopped and looked down at her calmly.

"Okay, I'll bet with you." Nangong Yue frowned and looked up at Li Xiaoyao with a very serious expression and responded very readily.

"You didn't even ask me, what would happen if you lost? I just responded so readily?" Li Xiaoyao frowned slightly and said in confusion.

"No matter what happens, as long as you keep your word, I will bet with you."

"Ha!" Li Xiaoyao chuckled: "I really want to know, are you betting against me so that you can leave me sooner, or for the State of Chu?"

"Tell me! What are you betting on? What are the conditions?" Nangong Yue said straightforwardly.

"Okay, it's good." Li Xiaoyao smiled: "Didn't you just say that the Zhao army is not as vulnerable as I thought?"

"Okay! I'll bet with you that the Zhao army is so vulnerable in front of our Han army."

"Three months." Li Xiaoyao looked cold and exuded a trembling majesty all over his body, saying: "In three months, if my army cannot take over the border town of Zhao, I will lose."

After two months, we mobilized the large army to prepare for war, deployed troops and attacked the border city of Zhao State in one month?

Nangong Yue frowned and glanced at Li Xiaoyao. Why is he always so confident?

After the last battle, although Zhao State suffered heavy losses, it did not touch the foundation of Zhao State.

During this period, Chu State was recruiting troops, and Zhao State was also recruiting troops.

If the Han State attacked Zhao this time, it would definitely be a war of millions of people.

Want to end the battle in one month?

She, Nangong Yue, doesn't believe it.

"If you lose, you must be willing to be my maid."

"Okay! One word is determined."

Li Xiaoyao did not expect that Nangong Yue would be so happy this time.

"Okay! One word is determined."

Li Xiaoyao replied, then walked out of the Machinery Department.

Zhao State Palace!

In Qingyun Hall, King Zhao, who had not been to the morning court for more than ten days, forced himself to hold his sick body and leaned half on the bed with a haggard face.

He also made a cough from time to time, causing him to feel painful.

More than a dozen officials from Zhao State knelt respectfully in front of the collapse of the bed.

Beside the bed, two middle-aged men dressed in gorgeous clothes and were completely different from the officials, with serious expressions and different thoughts crawling on the ground.

"My body is getting worse and worse, I am afraid that time will be gone. I will summon you into the palace today to let you be a witness, cough cough cough..."

King Zhao coughed, and the two princes kneeling in front of the bed suddenly looked up and moved forward with a nervous expression.

"Father..."

"Your Majesty..." the ministers shouted worriedly.

King Zhao calmed down his breath, looked at the two princes kneeling in front of the bed and said, "Boss, although you are the eldest son, you are too kind-hearted... Cough cough cough..."

Another cough, the second prince of Zhao State felt a turbulent heart, and his whole body was filled with passion.

Judging from what my father meant, he wanted to pass the throne to himself? He suppressed his inner excitement, his face remained unchanged, and his expression was still worried.

The dozen humeral ministers behind were also in their hearts.

The ministers who supported the eldest prince were very nervous.

The ministers who supported the second prince had a touch of undepressed joy.

"Father, are you okay?" the two princes shouted worriedly.

"I can't die for a while." King Zhao took a deep breath and continued, "Boss, you must learn from your second brother humbly. In this chaotic world, you cannot be too kind-hearted, you must learn to be cruel. Only in this way can I hand over Zhao State to you with peace of mind."

"Father... you will be fine." The eldest prince shouted with moist eyes.

A cold light flashed in the second prince's eyes: "Father, you will be fine. Now the Han army is ready to move. Zhao is in crisis, and Zhao still needs you to take charge of the overall situation."

"You two don't need to comfort me. I know my body." King Zhao took a few breaths and continued, "Second, you will lead a large army to the border city tomorrow. You must guard the border city. If you guard the border city, Zhao will be there. If you cannot defend the border city, Zhao will be in danger."

"Father..."

Didn’t this deliberately transfer myself from the imperial capital? The second prince wanted to speak, but was interrupted by King Zhao and said, “You all retreat first! I have something to explain to the eldest prince.”

"No!" The second prince saluted and the ministers and replied, then walked out of the hall with great reluctance.

"Father..." The eldest prince knelt on the ground and took a few steps forward, holding King Zhao's hand in both hands.

"Boss, your father transferred your second brother to the border town. Do you know why?"

"Didn't my father just say that? I asked my second brother to go to the border town to block the attack of the Han army and to defend the gateway of our Zhao State."

"Don't be fooled." King Zhao shouted excitedly, then coughed a few more times, "Today, the imperial doctor said that I can live at most one month, so I am paving the way for you. Your second brother is too cruel. If I am gone, if he stays in the imperial capital, it will be the biggest obstacle for you to ascend the throne."

"Father, if my second brother wants to be the emperor, my son will not fight with him."

"Oh..." King Zhao shook his head: "You are not fighting or scrambling to follow your mother."

"Father, don't you just like the queen of mother's personality that is not fighting or scrambling?"

"Haha!" King Zhao smiled yearningly, and the wonderful time he had experienced with the queen when he was young appeared in his mind.

In just a moment, King Zhao returned to his spirit and said, "Your mother's personality is only suitable for the harem. If you are the future emperor of Zhao in the future, you must learn to fight and understand how to be compatible with good and evil."
