Chapter 45: Hard Stubble

On the morning of July 3, after Zhou Rui woke up, he looked at Chu Yingying lying beside him, and an inexplicable sense of accomplishment arose.

After all, she is a popular movie star in the limelight, and she is the goddess of hundreds of millions of men in the Han and Tang Empires, but now she is held in her arms.

Because of some small actions of Zhou Rui, Chu Yingying immediately woke up, remembering some scenes from last night, Chu Yingying's face immediately turned red.

"Sleep a little longer, I've got to go to the Colosseum this morning.

By the way, say hello to Fang Dongru, the movie will be suspended for a few days, and you and Zhao Yan will have to take care of your bodies. ”

"Okay, husband, Zhao Yan and I will rest for a few days." Chu Yingying said shyly.

Then Chu Yingying asked again: "Husband, are you really sure about today's gamble?" ”

Zhou Rui said with a smile: "I am very confident in Xiong Da and the four brothers, if you win 30 million silver coins, I will take you and Zhao Yan to the street to sweep the goods." ”

As soon as Zhou Rui walked out of the room, Li Donghu hurriedly greeted him and said to Zhou Rui in a low voice: "Young General, I have found out that Yan Shaoqiu is the heir of the next head of the Yan family, and this time he came to Ganyang City, it seems that he is for the Liu family's money." ”

Zhou Rui frowned slightly, it seems that the person who fights the idea of the Liu family's money village is not only himself.

Li Donghu continued: "Major General, we also heard that Yan Shaoqiu has three masters of mixed human and bull races under his hands, and their strength is quite good, they are all very famous gladiators in the Colosseum in the capital, and they were later bought by Yan Shaoqiu for a lot of money. ”

"A master of human and cattle mixed blood? It's quite similar to Xiong Da and them, do you know the specific strength level? ”

"I only know that when they were bought by Yan Shaoqiu three years ago, the strength of the three of them far exceeded that of ordinary high-level martial artists, and now what is the strength of the three of them, because the time is too short, so they have not been found out."

Zhou Rui immediately turned his head to Xiong Da who was standing next to him and asked, "Xiong Da, it seems that your brother may have encountered hard stubble today." ”

Xiong Da smiled and said, "Don't worry, young general, our brothers are confident that we can win all three competitions." ”

Just when Zhou Rui was about to leave the nine-star hotel, Zhou Xiaorong, who learned the news, also rushed over.

"Major General, why bother with that Yan Shaoqiu? Next, the coastal defense fleet has to pay 37 million silver coins for the purchase of ships! ”

Zhou Rui hasn't had time to tell Zhou Xiaorong and his father Zhou Xiaozheng about the promotion of the senior Xiong brothers and Huyi.

Seeing the worried look on his second uncle Zhou Xiaorong's face, Zhou Rui said comfortingly: "Second uncle, don't worry."

Even if you lose 30 million silver coins today, it will not affect the payment of 37 million silver coins for the purchase of ships. ”

Then Zhou Rui lowered his voice, "Second uncle, there is one thing I forgot to tell you, Xiong Da and his four brothers were all promoted to bronze warriors just a few days ago. ”

When Zhou Xiaorong heard this, he immediately asked in disbelief: "Major General, Xiong Da and his four brothers have all been promoted?" ”

Zhou Rui nodded, "So second uncle, don't worry, since someone is willing to send me money, where does I have no reason not to." ”

Walking into the Colosseum in Ganyang City, Zhou Rui couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart.

Although this Colosseum is not the Colosseum where Zhou Rui lived for more than ten years in his previous life, the layout and style of the two Colosseums are extremely similar.

After Zhou Rui was reborn, he tried not to think back to the bleak days of living in the Colosseum for more than ten years, but at this time, when he walked into the Colosseum in Ganyang City, it seemed that a scar in his heart had been uncovered again.

Hu Yi, who was following Zhou Rui, found that Zhou Rui's expression was suddenly a little wrong, and hurriedly asked in a low voice, "Young General, what's wrong?" ”

"Oh, no...... It's nothing, it's quite lively today. ”

This gamble, with a stakes of up to 30 million silver coins, was almost known all over the city in just one night.

At this time, the open-air stands of the Colosseum were almost full of spectators.

A wealthy middle-aged man who followed Zhou Rui said with a smile on his face: "Young Master Zhou, this big gamble between you and the eldest son of the Yan family has spread all over the city.

After we received the news at the Colosseum last night, we started selling tickets for this competition overnight, but it was sold out before dawn. ”

"Boss Cao is good at doing business, it seems that Boss Cao should be able to make a lot of money today!"

"Hehe, it's also a blessing for Young Master Zhou."

The middle-aged man with a rich body is Cao Shanshan, the owner of the Colosseum in Ganyang City, but there is no kind person who can run the Colosseum.

Zhou Rui, who has lived in the Colosseum for more than ten years, knows what a dark place the Colosseum is.

For Cao Shanshan, the owner of the Colosseum, Zhou Rui instinctively felt a little repulsed, so he only exchanged a few words with Cao Shanshan, and then stopped paying attention to him.

After Cao Shanshan sent Zhou Rui and the others into the circular field of the Colosseum, he saw that Zhou Rui was unwilling to take care of himself, so he left first.

But soon, Cao Shanshan led Yan Shaoqiu, Cui Wenxu and others into the circular field of the Colosseum.

Shen Zhi, the commander of the third division of the Fengwu Army, and Sun Quan, the city lord, also walked in with Yan Shaoqiu.

Seeing that Zhou Rui and the people had arrived, Yan Shaoqiu first gestured to Zhou Rui, and then said: "Young Master Zhou, in today's gambling game, I invite General Shen and City Lord Sun to act as notaries, do you think it's okay?" ”

Zhou Rui said with a smile: "Of course you can, then it will trouble General Shen and City Lord Sun." ”

Shen Zhi said to Zhou Rui meaningfully at this time: "Nephew Zhou Xian, I heard that the lottery head of each competition is as high as 10 million silver coins, do you have to think about it carefully?" ”

"General Shen, don't worry, I have already asked people to bring gold bricks worth 30 million silver coins, and I won't be in trouble if I lose."

As soon as Zhou Rui's words fell, eight flat carriages pulled by black horses, escorted by a team of soldiers from the garrison brigade, slowly entered the circular field of the Colosseum.

The black mammoth is a low-level beast, and it is also one of the beasts that can be tamed by humans at present.

Adult black mammoth stands naturally, with a height of nearly three meters above its head, can reach a weight of about 3,000 kilograms, and can pull more than 20 tons of heavy objects.

However, the black mammoth is not a fierce beast known for its speed, and can only be used as a pull horse.

When the eight black horse-drawn flatbed carriages came behind Zhou Rui, the tarpaulins on the flatbed carriages were immediately lifted by the soldiers, revealing golden bricks.

More than 10,000 spectators in the open-air stands of the Colosseum were in an uproar, and the impact of the eight cars of gold bricks on these spectators was too great.

Zhou Rui said to Yan Shaoqiu with a smile: "Boss Yan, here are 6,000 gold bricks, each of which weighs 50 kilograms and is worth exactly 30 million silver coins.

I don't know if Boss Yan is ready for this gamble? ”

After Yan Shaoqiu saw the eight carloads of gold bricks, he couldn't help but have a new assessment of the strength of the Zhou family.

You must know that even in the entire Han and Tang Empires, there should be only a handful of families that can come up with 30 million silver coins at once.

Could it be that the Zhou family in Ganyang City really dug a gold or silver mine as rumored by the outside world?

"Hehe, Young Master Zhou, don't worry, I'm ready for the lottery of the gambling game."

After Yan Shaoqiu finished speaking, he nodded to one of the bodyguards beside him.

The bodyguard then opened a suitcase he was carrying, which was filled with stacks of gold yuan tickets.

"Young Master Zhou, here are all gold round scrolls with a face value of 500 gold coins from the six major beast countries, a total of 6,000 pieces, exactly 30 million silver coins.

Young Master Zhou can ask someone to check the authenticity. ”

"Then I'm welcome, Boss Yan can also send someone to check the 6,000 gold bricks I brought."
