Chapter 62: Confrontation

In southern Xinjiang, there is usually a ring match after a grand banquet, which is already a must-have program. However, it was usually the guards, or the samurai, or even the slaves, who were allowed to fight in the ring. These aristocrats came to appreciate and gamble.

Very few nobles of high status went to the ring to fight. After all, fighting is a matter of life and death. The aristocrats were reluctant to do such a dangerous thing.

Standing Blue is the first warrior of the Blue Clan, and always likes to challenge people at banquets. However, most people ignore him. Win him, and the Blue Clan will take revenge. If you lose, you lose a life, who is stupid? Generally, they sent their samurai to fight against the samurai under Wu Lilan.

Like today, there are really very few people who directly challenge Wu Lilan himself. The person who challenged this challenge was not a nobleman from Guangzhou City, but a merchant from Dachu who had just recently come to Guangzhou City. This surprised all the nobles present.

Wu Lilan was a little stunned when he heard Zhao Chongyi's challenge, for many years, no one challenged him. Those who challenged him had become dead. Some were beaten to death by him in the ring, and some were killed by his mother in advance. So, fewer and fewer people challenged him. Generally, it is he who challenges others, and most people should not fight. Even if there is a fight, a samurai is sent to fight against his samurai.

The blood on Wu Lilan's body was boiling. This Zhao is in charge, he has long been displeasing to the eye, and he has also challenged him. However, this Da Chu businessman was very cunning and did not respond to the battle. In the last ring match, the guards sent by this Great Chu merchant also killed his warrior, Lan Roar, the second warrior of the Blue Clan.

This is a great shame for Wu Lilan. Wu Lilan had long been looking forward to being able to beat this Great Chu merchant to the ground. This merchant of Da Chu has been against him since he stepped into southern Xinjiang. First of all, he sabotaged his mother's sneak attack on Ram several times. Later, he even killed Lan Roar, which made Wu Lilan very unhappy with this Great Chu businessman.

At this moment, he heard Zhao Chongyi's challenge, and then looked at Zhao Chongyi's white and tender appearance, elegant figure, where did he look like a warrior? Look at yourself again. Nine feet tall. is a head taller than Zhao Chongyi. Among the generally small people of southern Xinjiang, he is like a giant.

Wu Lilan is not only tall, but also very strong, and can grab two hundred catties of stone locks. This is also a place that is generally admired by the warriors of southern Xinjiang.

So. Wu Lilan laughed happily. The blue spirit next to him. looked at his strong son like a hill, and then looked at the thin Zhao Chongyi, and laughed. This Da Chu businessman is too infuriating. has repeatedly ruined his own good deeds, and this time, he is looking for death by himself, and he can't blame others. Lan Ling said to his son: "Wu Lilan, teach the people of Da Chu a lesson." Don't let him get out of the ring alive. ”

Wu Lilan laughed and said, "Don't worry, mother, if his skilled guard goes to the ring, I will pay a little more attention, but if he goes to the ring by himself?" That's just looking for death. Mother, I lost 5,000 taels of silver last time by that stupid blue roar, and my mother must win it back for me this time. ”

Lan Ling glanced at his son dotingly and said, "Don't worry." I came out with 20,000 taels of silver tickets. This is the cost of our family in the past few months, and it was only sent from the clan land a few days ago. It just so happens that we bet that we will be able to earn back twice as much, and when the time comes, not only will the five thousand taels of silver you lost come back, but we will also be able to make a big profit and buy you the dancing girl you like to come back and serve you. ”

When Wu Lilan heard this, he immediately became hot. It's still his mother who dotes on him, and she will agree to whatever he asks.

Wu Lilan raised his voice and said, "Since you are not afraid of death, then let's go to the ring." I bet 20,000 taels of silver. ”

As soon as his words fell, Lan Ling had already taken out 20,000 taels of silver. Lan Si and Lan Mei, who were sitting in the other seat, also saw it. Lan Si frowned, and Lan Mei smiled smugly. This Lan Ling didn't die fast enough, and took out all the money in the mansion for the past few months to gamble. If she wins, it's okay to say, if she loses, see if Lan Si can spare her?

Zhao Chongyi laughed and said, "Your Lan clan is not good at business, so you are poorer. I only took out 20,000 taels of silver, and I didn't want to gamble more. ”

Chen Wenhui smiled slightly and looked at the water lotus. Shui Lian understood, took out a purse from her arms, and took out 20,000 taels of silver tickets.

The queen was stunned when she saw this scene. Although she is a queen, she is not very rich. Before, in order to negotiate with Chen Wenhui and his wife, although she caught Shui Lian and the other four people, she did not search their bodies, but treated them very politely. Now I see that the little maid Shuilian is carrying 20,000 taels of silver tickets. The queen regretted it a little, at that time, she should have taken advantage of the fire to rob and search her body.

Of course, this was just a flash of thought, and she was really not a dignified queen to do such a bad thing. The queen smiled and said, "Okay, call my lord and take the gamble." Also, anyone present can place bets. Let's go to the ring. It's ready there. ”

The nobles present were all overjoyed and went to the palace steward to place bets. Not a long time, the total amount of the gambling game, excluding the 40,000 taels of silver from Zhao Chongyi and Wu Lilan, has already been more than 100,000 taels of silver just put together. However, most people are buying the Ulliblue to win. After all, Wu Lilan, the title of the first warrior of the Lan clan, has been famous in southern Xinjiang for many years.

The queen heard the report of the prince and the chief manager: "Those who bought Wuli Lan won 120,000 taels, but those who bought Steward Zhao only won more than 30,000 taels of silver." In this way, even if Wu Lilan wins those people, they won't make much money. However, if Steward Zhao wins, we will earn more. ”

The queen herself bet 20,000 taels of silver. Usually in the palace fighting ring show, the queen will also bet, but not such a big bet. This time is an exception, mainly because the queen feels that this time she is very sure and takes the opportunity to make a little floating money. Of course, this amount of money is not in the eyes of the queen, but if it can really be doubled, it will not be a small supplement.

The queen was very curious and asked, "Who else bet besides my twenty thousand taels of silver?" ”

The palace steward said, "And Mrs. Lan Mei bet 10,000 taels of silver. Princess Ram bet three thousand taels of silver. ”

Hearing this, the queen frowned. She had long seen that Ram liked Zhao Chongyi. However, as soon as he came, Zhao Chongyi already had a wife. Second, even if Zhao Chongyi has no wife, with Zhao Chongyi's identity, it is impossible to marry a princess in southern Xinjiang as a wife, at most a concubine. The future queen of southern Xinjiang is a concubine, but this queen can't accept it.

However, Lan Mei was able to bet 10,000 taels of silver, which shows that the strength of the Lan clan is still very strong. It also shows that Lan Mei is very favored by Lan Si. It seems that in the future, it is very likely that Lan Mei will defeat Lan Ling.

The queen was about to speak, when suddenly a servant came running and whispered to the palace warden, and the palace manager's face changed, and he came and whispered to the queen, "Queen, at last another person has placed a bet." It was Steward Zhao's wife, and she bet more than 80,000 taels of silver, so that it was on par with the bet of the person who bet on Wu Lilan to win. Even if we win, it's just doubled. ”

The queen also changed color and said: "She is really the richest person, 80,000 taels of silver, and she can take it out if she says she can take it out." That's a good thing, too. First, it shows that she is very confident. Second, the stronger she is, the more benefits we will get in the future by alliing with her. ”

The palace steward did not understand what the queen meant.

The queen smiled and said, "Sir, you have settled the accounts." We're going to win. If we win, we will earn nearly 20,000 taels of silver, and with this one-percent rake, we can get nearly 30,000 taels of silver. So we will get forty or fifty thousand taels of silver. Be content. It's not every day that this happens. ”

The head of the palace thought about it, and the gambling money involved in this big gamble was nearly 300,000 taels of silver. It's really something that hasn't been done in decades. It's a big gamble.

Here, the queen was whispering to the palace steward. Over there, Chen Wenhui and Zhao Chongyi were talking. Zhao Chongyi asked: "We bet, right?" This time, I'm going to win a hundred thousand taels of silver. Well, it's probably enough to buy a dowry for Rongxue. ”

Chen Wenhui said with a smile: "The dowry of 100,000 taels of silver is very rich. You're going to have to do it. Be sure to win. You must win as quickly as possible, and you can't underestimate the enemy. ”

Zhao Chongyi smiled mildly and said, "Don't worry." ”

Without looking back, he walked into the ring. In the ring, Wu Lilan, who was dressed in a strong suit, was already standing there like an iron tower, and he was looking at Zhao Chongyi with contempt.

Zhao Chongyi didn't change his clothes, he was still wearing a snow-white robe embroidered with honeysuckle flowers, which looked very elegant. It's as if you're not here to fight, but to enjoy the flowers.

The people present couldn't help but start to get excited, and they all felt that this time they were going to make money. The contrast is too strong.

Although Ram had seen Zhao Chongyi kill the enemy, it was a scuffle. Can he really defeat Wu Lilan, who is as strong as a hill, she also sweated.

In his heart, Ram secretly prayed to the gods for Zhao Chongyi.

Out of a woman's intuition, Chen Wenhui seemed to feel something. She looked at Ram and hated it. This princess of southern Xinjiang is really annoying, and it is really intolerable to dare to think of her man. However, until now, Zhao Chongyi has not seen this Ram with his eyes. Originally, this Ram was far from good just in terms of appearance. It can be said that even the maids around Chen Wenhui can't compare. is still here, isn't it just relying on her identity as a princess in southern Xinjiang? You must know that Chen Wenhui doesn't even pay much attention to Princess Da Chu.

Thinking of this, Chen Wenhui squinted at Princess Ram. The water lotus on the side thought to herself, this Ram is going to be unlucky. (To be continued......)
