Li Mu said with a smile: "No matter how much or how little it is pressed, after all, it is a 'bet' word, I don't like 'betting', I like to do things that I am sure of." ”

Wang Ou thought for a while and said, "Master Hou, there are times when you win your bet, right now it's a loss of one, in case you win the bet, ......"

"What if I don't win?" Li Mu asked rhetorically, and without waiting for Wang Ou to answer, Li Mu replied by himself: "Money, I can afford to spend it, but I don't want to develop the habit of 'gambling'." I like to do what I can control, because the outcome of a bet, whether I win or lose, in my opinion, is a loss. ”

Wang Ou showed a puzzled expression, she really didn't understand.

Li Mu explained: "If you win the bet, the money is too easy, so the next time I encounter something laborious, I will think, what is so hard to do, it is better to bet on a horse." But how can there be a winning general, what if one day I lose? And if you lose, it's even worse, I'm a competitive person, if I lose once, I will want to win back, and I will definitely double the bet. Therefore, I don't like to bet. I like the wealth that I have earned by my own efforts, even if I spend it extravagantly and wastefully, I am still at ease. ”

Wang Ou listened, and his beautiful eyes flashed with brilliance. Just as he was about to speak again, he heard someone speak on the third-level platform in the middle of the racecourse. A sound amplification device similar to the Taimiao Temple was built near the three-step platform, although it did not spread as far as the Taimiao, but it was enough in the range of the racecourse.

"Everyone, everyone!"

Someone spoke, and the noise suddenly subsided a lot. Looking at the three-step platform, I saw that this was a smiling person, with a pleasing face, which made people feel kind when they saw it. Some people recognize that this person is the shopkeeper in charge of Chengjia Wharf, but they don't know why they are here.

The person on the third-order high platform made a circle and said: "The villain Cheng Qian, entrusted by my master, will be the shopkeeper of this horse farm from now on." Today's Marseille is the first time in our Chang'an City. There are many rules and ways to play, which the masters don't know yet, but it's okay. When the Marseille is over and leaves, someone will send the detailed rules, which is not difficult to understand, and everyone will know about it next time. ”

"Briefly talking about the rules of this competition, it has been published in Datang Daily, the first prize is 500 yuan, the second place award is 300 yuan, and the third place award is 100 yuan, which is the reward of the horse owner. Each of the eight directions of the racecourse has a referee, and if someone deliberately interferes with the race during the race, the result will be cancelled immediately and the latter will be added. In the event of a termination of the race due to force majeure, the race may be replayed and the interpretation rights shall be reserved by the racecourse. ”

"Everyone who is involved in betting has a ticket in their hands. This ticket is printed with your fingerprint, if you press it, you need to show your ticket when cashing, and press the fingerprint again, and the three fingerprints match to claim the prize. If the ticket is lost, then sorry, no matter how much bet is placed, the prize will be void. ”

"Words come first, and there is no disturbance afterwards. Speaking of which, Marseille is about to begin, the sound of the gong is the trumpet, good luck to all the lords! Win the jackpot! ”

As soon as the words fell, the crowd looked to the east side of the racecourse, where forty knights had just finished drawing lots, and twenty had drawn numbered lots and climbed on the corresponding horses. As the knights got ready, the racecourse quieted down.

Suddenly! A gong sounds!

The floodgates opened, and the horses, driven by the knights, rushed out! At the same time, Cheng Qian's voice sounded again: "The gong sounds, the floodgates open, and the game officially begins." The racecourse track is two miles in one lap and four miles in two laps...... As you can see, the first thing that came out of the crowd was the twelfth 'Jueying', and there was a saying in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty that Cao Gong rode the horse with a unique shadow. Although this 'Absolute Shadow' is not the other 'Absolute Shadow', its speed is not far behind...... Oh no, No. 17 'Shine Night White' actually exerted force halfway, exceeding the Twelfth 'Absolute Shadow', and it really deserved to be 'Shine Night White', this horse's coat color is translucent, and there is no trace of variegation, it is really a rare good horse......

Everyone was originally looking at the horse, but suddenly heard Cheng Qian's explanation as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and they all looked at each other a little. The same is true of several female dependents beside Li Mu, Li Mu saw it, and explained with a smile: "Shopkeeper Cheng is explaining, many people have bet, but they can't enter the field, he is commenting on the third-order high platform, and there is amplification, and people outside the racecourse can also know the situation of the game." ”

Only then did the three girls understand and nodded. Wang Ou looked at him and said, "Presumably this is also the idea of the Hou Ye." ”

Li Mu did not admit it, nor did he explain, or say no.

Twenty horses were all good horses, and the race was only four miles long, and in the time of the afterlife, it took less than four minutes for the race to end. People inside and outside the court, in order to win money, or join in the fun, basically bet. The people who can see it inside the racecourse are worried, and those who can't see it outside the racecourse and can only listen to it are also worried.

“…… Oh! It's time to decide the winner! No. 19 'Iron Mountain' took the first place, No. 20 'Yuhua Cong' took second place, and No. 12 'Jueying' was a pity and only finished third. Congratulations! ”

"It was shocking that in the end, it was the No. 19 'Iron Mountain' who had been ranked in the middle of the early and middle stages to take the first place, and the final 400m sprint was truly breathtaking! The nineteenth 'Iron Mountain' is a Turkic horse, and the owner of the horse is ......"

After a brief introduction, it's time to redeem the bonus. The three horse owners came to the center of the racecourse, Cheng Qian had already come down from the three-step platform, and asked the three horse owners to stand up, the first one stood in the middle of the highest position, the second place was second, and the third place was second. Six small servants carried three large trays, respectively five hundred, three hundred, and one hundred. When the money is right, it may not feel too big, but when it is really piled up in front of them, everyone suddenly finds that it is really a lot of money!

After the money is redeemed, the game is over. The audience was in a hurry to leave the venue, not for anything else, everyone placed their bets, and the winners were in a hurry to pay their prizes. Suddenly, I heard someone shouting from the stands on the north side: "Do you want to sell this 'Iron Mountain'?" Ben Hou out of a thousand to buy! ”

This voice came out, and the people who were about to leave also stopped, wondering if there was something wrong with this person and spending a thousand yuan to buy a horse? No matter how good a horse is, dozens of times will be the sky, and a thousand times to buy a horse, is this person's brain in water?

Everyone wants to see who this person is who is going to buy a horse for a thousand yuan. Following the sound, I saw a teenager crawling down from the north stand, as if he was afraid of being robbed, climbed over the fence of the racecourse, and ran towards the owner of the 'Iron Mountain' who was counting money but had not had time to leave. Everyone took a closer look, isn't this the recent Chang'an Champion who has been in the limelight?

"What is he going to buy a horse for?"

Everyone felt curious, and some of the children of the gate valve family even sent their entourage to eavesdrop, just wondering what Li Mu was going to do.
