Wilderness refers to a rare wilderness, located at the junction of the three counties, and is a well-known murderous land in several nearby states, with complex terrain and clouds all year round.

This time, the place where the Marquis of Xingqing and An Linghou conducted military exercises and gambled was in the wilderness.

There is a hill no more than a thousand meters high in this wilderness, called Lei Ze Ridge, and the key to the victory or defeat of the two of them in this military exercise is on this Lei Ze Ridge.

Whoever commands an army that can capture and hold Razor Ridge for an hour wins.

The 10,000 armies of both sides arrived in the wilderness and were inspected by the opposing inspection team before entering a waiting period.

Wait for the arrival of the princes from all walks of life.

With the influence of the two powerful princes behind the Marquis of Xingqing and Marquis Anling, the princes and nobles of all parties who were invited also arrived on time.

There are even those who arrive early a few days in advance.

With the full preparation of the two of Xingqinghou and An Linghou, this gamble has become a grand event between princes and nobles, and even involves some factional disputes.

The original reason for this gamble was that it originated from the battlefield of humans and demons.

The heaviest merit of the Great Zhou Empire, even if it is the children of the royal family, even if they can easily obtain the knighthood through the Yu Meng of their father's generation, but if they want to further improve the title and obtain a good position in the Great Zhou Empire, they must have good military exploits.

Therefore, a few years ago, like most of the children of the royal family, Xingqing Hou Ji Han and An Ling Hou Ji Jia, like many other sons of princes and nobles, went to the front line of the human and demon battlefield under the arrangement of their fathers, and obtained combat exploits equivalent to their status.

For the children of these princes and nobles, the front line of the battlefield of the Venerable Demons is basically not much danger, under the tilt of a large number of resources and intelligence. It is equivalent to gold plating.

Of course, their parents also have a test to compare, and the children who have better records in the same conditions are naturally more valued by the family.

And Xingqing Hou Ji Han and An Ling Hou Ji Jia are the two most outstanding new stars on the battlefield of humans and demons in the past ten years.

In less than three years, the two of them simply promoted their third-rank position to the first-rank position with their unparalleled military exploits.

Within the big week. There is a saying that once you enter the Houmen, it is as deep as the sea!

This sentence is not the so-called disparity in status, deep mansions, courtyards, etc., but refers to the promotion of the title.

It is not difficult for a marquis to be promoted from a third-rank marquis to a first-class marquis, but if you want to promote the title from a first-rank marquis to a third-class duke, the difficulty is as deep as the sea.

The military exploits obtained by the Marquis of Xingqing and Marquis An Ling in three years promoted the marquis to the first rank of marquis, but the total military merits obtained in the last seven years were not enough for them to be promoted to the title of one level of duke.

It's hard to get this title uplifted. It can well be imagined.

What's more, these two people are surrounded by masters, and basically all the gains of their guards and entourage belong to them, and in this way, they still can't upgrade their titles to a first-class title.

So, in a certain meeting, Xingqinghou and An Linghou, who were already incompatible, fought without saying a word. I don't know which good deed person picked a sentence, saying that the military exploits accumulated by the two of them in the past seven years should be combined into one. But it was enough for one of them to be promoted to the rank of duke.

And so, a game of astonishing magnitude began.

They not only gambled on the military merits they had won in the next seven years, but also bet heavily on each of them, Xingqing Hou bet his seven county fiefs on four counties, because Xingqing Hou bet on one of the four county fiefs of a superior county, so An Linghou bet his eight county fiefs on five counties.

The two of them have struggled for nearly ten years and poured the blood of countless masters of their respective families. There are also most of the fiefdoms of the two, which form the basis of this gamble.

However, such a large number of fiefdom gambles are just the beginning.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the armies of both sides are in place. The gambling contract documents of the two sides and the seal of the fief are also all bet on this sect order, but when you come here, don't you just plan to watch the drama and not want to have fun?"

"Hahaha, just wait for Zong Ling's words!" A young man in a brocade robe standing beside An Linghou snapped out a storage ring and flew towards Zuo Zong Ling Ji Cang, "Fourteen lower grade spirit stone veins on a certain fiefdom, one hundred and thirty-two material veins needed for casting horcruxes of various colors, which one is willing to take it!"

Zuo Zong ordered Ji Cang to take the storage ring and handed it to the scribe who was waiting behind him, counted it, nodded, and looked at Xingqinghou's side.

"The veins in the fiefdom of Benhou are a little scarce, but there are one hundred and forty manors rich in various colors of spiritual silk, and fifteen Mushan in various years, how about taking your bet?"

After Zuo Zong ordered the scribe behind Ji Cang to count it, Ji Cang's eyes looked at the young man on An Linghou's side and said, "Baishan Hou's two plus two lower grade spirit stone veins can be equal, are you willing?"

Baishanhou on the opposite side nodded, and silently popped out two contract documents!

The bet between these two people was like opening a big curtain, and soon, the nobles who were close to the Marquis of Xingqing and the Marquis of An Ling placed bets one after another.

The stakes were staggering.

Although Ye Zhen was not at the scene, the kitten in Princess Changle's arms could hear and see.

Ye Zhen roughly calculated, there are thousands of veins on the stake, more than 10,000 large, medium and small cities, and there are thirty-seven counties in the fiefs directly staked, basically reaching the land of three states.

What is the concept of Thirty-Seven Counties?

It is equivalent to thirty-seven True Spirit Domains, four True Xuan Continents, such a vast area is about to change hands because of a gambling battle, I have to say that the madness of the nobles of this desolate continent.

Even Princess Changle also bet on twenty-four spiritual springs of various colors as if she were in the situation.

The bet lasted for nearly an hour before it ended, and the busy Zuo Zongling ordered the eighteen scribes behind him to sweat.

Glancing at the princes and nobles who had finished placing the bet with satisfaction, a smile appeared on the corner of Zuo Zongling's mouth, he liked these juniors to fight, the harder these juniors fought, the more powerful the fight, the greater the value of their several sect orders, and the greater the oil and water.

Clearing his throat, Zuo Zongling Ji Cang's voice spread steeply throughout the wilderness, "The military exercise is about to start, and the military exercise law has already been agreed, but before the military exercise, the old man still has to make three chapters of the law to everyone present!"

"You can watch the battle with the old man with a secret method, but whoever dares to inform the commanders of the two armies of the battlefield situation he saw, then, the one he gambled on will immediately rebel, even if he doesn't bet, the old man will ask him to pay a hundred cities!"

"In addition, for the sake of this battle, the old man specially invited the Sky Survey Division of the Sky Survey God Hunter to inspect the whole field, if anyone dares to make small moves, hehe, you know the consequences!" Ji Cang said.

Hearing the words 'Heaven Survey Division', the faces of all the nobles present couldn't help but look a little ugly, it was the most notorious intelligence agency in the Great Zhou, a pervasive intelligence agency, and an agency that the nobles hated the most.

Because maybe one day, a certain duke hooked up with a certain prince's concubine, such a secret story will be classified as a secret file by the Sky Survey Division, and then one day it will lead to a catastrophe.

"Okay, Ji Han, Ji Jia, you two can start!"

With Ji Cang's order, another sword eyebrow flew obliquely into the young man with a face full of temples and rose sharply into the sky, and made a murderous throat cutting action towards Ji Han, the Marquis of Xingqing, who had just flown up, and with a smile, he disappeared into a military tent in the wilderness not far away.

Xingqinghou, who was moving slowly, suddenly became a little ugly, "Hmph, it's not certain who will die!"

As if remembering some people, Xingqinghou's expression became extremely confident, and at the same time, he also rushed into a military tent not far away. (To be continued.) )
