68: Bet
"Actually, I don't like to gamble. Because of the winning or losing of gambling, many times do not look at strength, only look at luck. And luck is something that no one can fully grasp. ”
Cheng Li paused, suddenly smiled, and said, "But in you, I always feel that even if I am unlucky, I have no reason to lose." So, let's talk about what you're going to bet on. ”
Tang Wushen smiled slightly and said, "It's actually very simple. The note that was handed over to Zhao Qi and Geqiu to collect debts was just a copy. The original is placed in the underground vault of the Anfu Silver Horn. As long as Long Chengbo can enter the silver treasury within half an hour and take out this IOU, then even if Long Chengbo wins. On the contrary, if after half an hour has passed, Long Chengbo has not been able to get the arrears, then our Anfu Casino has won. How's that going?"
Huang Xiaoshi couldn't help but say, "It's not difficult to enter the silver vault within half an hour. But presumably on the way to the treasury, there will be someone in the way, right?"
Tang Wushen smiled and said, "The Anfu Silver is in Baiyujing, and the scale can be counted as the number. Our patrons looked down on us, so they kept their money with us. Of course, we must take good care of this money and not let down the trust of our customers.
Therefore, in addition to the silver treasury itself, which was built strong and thick enough, we also arranged for a few other guests to be worshiped and guarded on the road leading to the silver treasury. They are all masters who despise the owners and hire them back to sit in the town with a lot of money. In the past, on the rivers and lakes, there was also a great reputation. It was only later that he got tired of the battles in the rivers and lakes, so he retired to the mountains and forests, did not ask about the world, and just concentrated on studying martial arts.
In terms of personal cultivation alone, they may not be inferior to the previous Lei Wuyi Lei Hall Master, as well as Zhu Youxian Zhu Hall Master. So Long Chengbo, if you think it's too difficult to do, then it doesn't matter. Let's talk about it later. There will always be a solution. ”
Huang Xiaoshi said loudly: "Do you want to engage in wheel warfare? Hmph, I, the gang leader, are not in vain." If Brother Cheng decides to break through, then I will also bring the masters of the Biantan Gang to assist from the side. ”
Tang Wushen shook his head and said, "No." If you invite people and I invite people, then it will become a big scuffle. When the time comes, there will be many casualties, which is contrary to the original intention of our bet. Therefore, Long Chengbo must break through the level by himself, otherwise you will lose the bet.
Of course, if you don't feel at ease, then I can also accompany you to the adventure. Ensure that each level is fair and alone, and will not become a crowd. ”
Cheng Li coldly: "Actually, I have a better idea." It's here to take down your manager Tang and exchange that debt. You are a dignified nine-life manager, and the big man above 10,000 people under the Anfu Casino and the Anfu Silver Account is not even worth 100,000 taels of silver, right?"
Tang Wushen did not panic at all, and said calmly: "With the cultivation of Long Chengbo, if you want to take it down, you will naturally not be embarrassed." However, today is at the invitation of the Huang Gang Leader, so I came out here to meet with a few people. If you can't go back safely, I'm afraid it will greatly hinder the reputation of the Huang gang leader in the rivers and lakes. I just don't know, exchanging the reputation of the Huang gang leader for 100,000 taels of silver, does Long Chengbo think it's worth it, or not?"
Huang Xiaoshi hurriedly said, "Manager Tang, you don't have to expect to use these words to squeeze on Brother Cheng. I even have this life from Brother Cheng. What reputation, I, Huang Xiaoshi, have never cared about. ”
Cheng Li stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "You don't care about Xiaoshi, but I still care." Well, I would like to see and see, so how high can these masters who have been in seclusion for many years be. ”
Tang Wushen said with a smile: "Then a word is a certainty, and the gambling contract is established." Three, please come with me. ”
After finishing his words, Tang Wushen took the lead in standing up and went downstairs. Princess Yongjia asked nervously in a low voice, "Cheng Lang, Huang Gang Leader, let's ...... Shall we just go along?"
It is also common for people who are close to each other to call "Lang Jun" in private. But perhaps because of nervousness, her speech was slurred, so when Princess Yongjia said this, her accent was a little heavier. Suddenly, the word "Cheng" seemed to be like the word "love". Huang Xiaoshi, who was next to him, couldn't help but raise his head in surprise and glanced at the two of them.
In contrast, Cheng Li himself didn't seem to hear anything wrong. He said casually: "Of course it will pass." There are many long nights and dreams, and they are delayed again and again, but I am afraid that there will be another complication. It's better to cut through the mess quickly. Let's go. The long body stood up and stretched out his hand to Princess Yongjia.
Princess Yongjia was stunned, but then she also grabbed Cheng Li's palm and stood up with her strength. The two of them took the lead in the direction of the staircase. Huang Xiaoshi looked at the natural behavior of the two of them, and couldn't help but be a little surprised. He raised his hand and grabbed his hair, and he looked "incomprehensible" for a long time. Then he came back to his senses, quickly jumped up, and followed from behind.
The three of them walked down the Sanhe building and each turned over and got on his horse. Tang Wushen took his own carriage, took those bodyguards and thugs from Anfu Casino, and set off first.
Anfu Casino, Anfu Silver No. These two are actually one and the same. So it's very close to each other. In fact, the two are on the left and right sides of the same street.
When the gambler walks out of the casino, he immediately sees the silver number. When you walk out of the silver number, you can see the casino immediately. It is just convenient for those gamblers to get money from the silver number and enter the casino immediately. After losing all the money on his body, he immediately went to the silver number to pledge his property, and then took the money and went to gamble.
In this way, it is the endless cycle that is endless. If you don't squeeze all the gamblers' net worth, you will never give up.
Tang Wushen did not enter the casino. He stepped down from the carriage and politely led Cheng Li and the others into the Anfu Yinhao, invited them to sit in the side hall, and asked someone to serve fragrant tea and pastries. Immediately, another confidant was called and whispered a few words. The henchman nodded, whispered a few more words, and then took the order.
After about a stick of incense, the henchman came back and whispered respectfully to Tang Wushen: "Chief Administrator, everything is arranged." ”
Tang Wushen nodded, got up and smiled at Cheng Li and the others, and said, "Everyone, please come with me." ”
And the people immediately set out. Under the leadership of Tang Wushen, he walked through the side door of the side hall and walked to the backyard of the silver horn. There are no pavilions in the yard, no rockeries and bridges, no flowers and plants, just a boxy house standing on a bare clearing. The length and width are only about ten steps, and the height is only two feet. It looks like a lump of stone, and it looks extremely ugly.
Tang Wushen took a bunch of keys from his waist, selected one of them made of red copper, and opened the door of the square stone house. With the piercing sound of "squeak ratt~~", the heavy iron door half a foot thick slowly opened. Tang Wushen smiled and said, "Everyone, please." "Be the first to step in.
