Chapter 1718: God of Gamblers (1)
Zhao Puguang, the prince of the Great Liang Kingdom, suddenly came out to intervene, what did he want to do? Do you want to stop the gamble? Or do you have other ideas?
The crowd looked puzzledβ'
Zhao Puguang walked out of the crowd and said with a smile: "I want to participate in the gambling game, I wonder if you can agree?" β
"Huh?" Gao Shanshui was stunned: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also wants to participate?" β
"Yes." Zhao Puguang nodded: "Please also ask Elder Gao to agree." β
Gao Shanshui turned his head to look at Ma Xiaoyao and Xing Yajun: "What is your opinion?" Do you agree with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to join the gambling game? β
Ma Yao shrugged: "Yes, there are so many people, and there is a lot of money to win." β
Xing Yajun smiled bitterly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to participate in the gambling game, how dare I oppose it." "You must know that Xing Yajun is begging for a living on the territory of Daliang Kingdom, if he offends the prince, then he can only choose to run away, if he continues to stay in Daliang Kingdom, he will definitely be rectified by the prince.
"I agree." Gao Shanshui showed his attitude, he didn't want to offend the prince of the Great Liang Kingdom because of this trivial matter, the national strength of the Great Liang Kingdom is still relatively strong, and if he can, try not to offend.
It's a lot better to have more friends than to have more enemies these days.
"I'll give one million taels of silver, and bet on Gao Lao to win." Zhao Puguang said in a calm tone.
"Huh? What the? Gao Shanshui was stunned: "You don't directly participate in gambling?" β
Zhao Puguang shook his head slightly: "Although I like gambling stones, but the technique is average, if I bet directly with you, the probability of losing will be very high, so I will simply bet on Gao Lao, so that I can not only worry about it, but also win money, killing two birds with one stone." β
"This ......" Gao Shanshui hesitated a little, Zhao Puguang was a little unruly in doing this.
"What? Does Elder Gao have an opinion? Zhao Puguang asked.
"Hmm...... I don't have an opinion, I just don't know if Mr. Ma and the criminal shopkeeper agree......" Gao Shanshui transferred the problem to Ma Xiaoyao and Xing Yajun with one sentence, what an old fox.
"Mr. Ma, look at this, ......" Xing Yajun asked Ma Xiaoyao's opinion.
Ma Xiaoyao smiled slightly: "Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to gamble, I definitely can't stop it." `β
"So, you agreed?" Zhao Puguang's eyes lit up.
Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "I have no reason to refuse." β
"Haha...... Readily! Zhao Puguang grinned: "I just like to deal with cheerful people." Speaking of this, Zhao Puguang turned his head and glanced at the crowd around him: "Is there anyone else who wants to participate in the gambling game?" β
"I'm participating! I paid 100,000 taels of silver to bet on Gao Lao to win! β
"I'll pay 500,000 taels of silver to bet on Gao Lao to win!"
"I'll give 800,000 taels of silver ......"
β¦β¦
In the blink of an eye, more than twenty powerful figures participated in the gambling game, and they all put their bets on Gao Lao, and after careful calculation, the bets had reached eight million taels of silver.
That is to say, if Ma Xiaoyao loses, he will pay eight million taels of silver on the spot, and if he wins...... Then he will be there.
"This ...... This couldn't be more crazy......" Xing Yajun swallowed hard.
Ma Xiaoyao didn't expect so many people to bet on Gao Shanshui, and things seemed to be a little out of control.
Mr. Ma...... We ......" Xing Yajun looked at Ma Xiaoyao with a pale face, and his speech was a little trembling: "Look at ......"
"Torture shopkeeper, you should be able to take out eight million taels of silver, right?" Ma Xiaoyao asked.
"If you get it, you can take it out...... But ......"
"That'll do."
"Mr. Ma......"
"Put your heart in your stomach, we won't lose this game."
"......" Xing Yajun opened his mouth to say something, but the words turned into a sigh on his lips...... It's up to God.
"Hahaha...... How could such a fun game be without me. In the distance came a man in a light blue robe, with slightly dark skin and a somewhat thin body, but his eyes were very bright.
"The Second Prince of the Great Liang Kingdom......"
"Why is he here?"
"As far as I know, the second prince and the crown prince have always been not in harmony......"
"It's getting more and more lively. `β
β¦β¦
There was a lot of chatter all around.
The person who came was Zhao Jinliang, the second prince of the Great Liang Kingdom, as everyone said, he and the crown prince Zhao Puguang have always been not in harmony, as for the reason...... It is estimated that everyone can guess, that's right, just for the throne, the second prince Zhao Jinliang also wants to be the emperor, so a distinct hostile relationship has been formed between him and the crown prince Zhao Puguang.
The two have been fighting for many years, winning and losing each other.
"The second brother is here." Prince Zhao Puguang said hello without being salty.
"Big brother, I heard that you were involved in the gambling game?"
"That's the thing."
"You bet on Elder Gao?"
"Yes."
"Then I'll bet on this gentleman." Zhao Jinliang stretched out his hand and pointed at the horse.
"I wonder how much the second brother plans to bet?" Zhao Pu asked with a smile.
"Three million taels of silver." Zhao Jinliang said in a surprising voice: "The junior brother brought so much silver today. β
"Second brother, you have to think clearly, once you lose, the three million taels of silver you bet will be gone......" Zhao Puguang seemed to be kind and reminded him: "You better think about it carefully, otherwise you will bet on Gao Lao ......"
"Big brother, don't say it." Zhao Jinliang waved his hand: "I have made up my mind, and I will never change it." β
"Okay, since you have to, then I won't say more." Zhao Puguang shrugged helplessly: "It's just that you will lose the silver later, don't be too sad." β
"Without further ado, let's cut the stone quickly." Zhao Jinliang said impatiently: "Cut the stone, and you will see it yourself." β
Zhao Puguang beckoned to the two guys standing next to him: "Don't be stupid, hurry up and cut the stone, be careful, don't hurt the things inside." β
The two men who received the order immediately began to cut the stone with knives.
"Click, click, click......"
"Click......"
"Poof!"
The stone selected by Gao Shanshui was the first to be cut, and a dazzling green light flashed from inside the stone.
"There's something! It is a piece of jade with excellent color! The man shouted, "Tall and good-looking, to say the least, it is worth 500,000 taels of silver." β
"Hahaha...... "Prince Zhao Puguang looked up to the sky and laughed: "Elder Gao is worthy of being a senior in the gambling stone world, and he can cut out jade worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver by picking out a stone at will, which is amazing, amazing." β
"Yes, Elder Gao is definitely the Taishan Beidou of the gambling stone world!"
"This gamble must have been won by Gao Lao."
"It's a worthwhile trip today."
"It's really right to bet on Gao Lao, you can easily earn 100,000 taels of silver, although it's not much, but it's enough to squander it for a while."
β¦β¦
Many powerful figures have spoken out to praise Gao Shanshui.
Gao Shanshui himself is also full of smiles, he has been very confident in himself from the beginning, he has been playing gambling stones for more than three hundred years, how rich is his experience, how can a fledgling kid compare? If it weren't for helping his grandson and granddaughter get back face, he wouldn't have gambled with Ma Xiaoyao.
"You're rejoicing too soon." The second prince, Zhao Jinliang, pursed his lips: "The stone selected by Mr. Ma has not been cut yet, how do you know that it is Gao Lao Win?" Do you have clairvoyance? Or do you have the ability to be a prophet of the unknown? β
"Second brother, I know you are not convinced by the loss, but the facts are in front of you." The crown prince Zhao Puguang sneered: "The stones selected by Mr. Ma are ordinary, I don't think that too good things can be cut out of them......
"Click!"
The stone selected by Ma Xiaoyao was finally cut, and a dazzling white light appeared from inside the stone.
"Good fellows! It's a pearl of the night! The stone-cutter exclaimed, "It's the first time I've seen such a big pearl of the night!" β
The pearl of the night?
Everyone looked at it, and sure enough...... Among the cut stones was a night pearl the size of an adult's fist, dazzling, crystal clear, and beautiful......
"Hahaha......" This time it was the turn of the second prince Zhao Jinliang to laugh, and the laughter was as bright as it was: "Okay, good!! Mr. Ma, you are such a strange person! Just pick out a stone and cut out such a beautiful pearl of the night! Awesome, awesome!! β
"It's actually the Pearl of the Night?" Prince Zhao Puguang's face became ugly, such a big night pearl is very valuable.
Gao Shanshui and the five brothers and sisters of the Gao family were also stunned in place, thinking that the gamble was nine out of ten, but in the end, they actually ...... I'm going to lose......
As long as you are not a fool, you can see that the Night Pearl is worth more than that green jade.
There is another person at the scene who is very happy, he is Xing Yajun, just now when he was cutting the stone, his nervous heart was about to jump out, this is a big gamble of eight million taels of silver, once he loses, he will be bankrupt and lose all his money...... Especially when he saw a piece of jade worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver cut out of the opponent's stone, Xing Yajun was even more nervous...... Knowing that the night pearl appeared, Xing Yajun's tightly hung heart slowly let go, he jumped three feet high, and waved his arm fiercely, haha...... Won, the bet won!!!
Eight million taels of silver!
and the piece of jade worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver......
I have reached it, and I have reached it completely!!
"I want this pearl of the night!" A rough shout came from the crowd of onlookers: "I bid a million taels of silver!" β
Boy! One mouth is one million taels of silver, what a big spirit! Someone recognized the person who shouted the price as a certain prince of the Great Kangguo.
"I'll bid one and a half million taels of silver." There is another country where the prince shouts the price.
"I'll give you two million taels of silver!"
"Three million taels of silver!"
"Four million taels of silver!"
"Five million taels of silver!"
β¦β¦
"Twenty million taels of silver!"
In the blink of an eye, the Night Pearl was fried to a sky-high price of 20 million taels of silver, and the price was still soaring
