Duke Da'an pushed the door in, and questioned Cepes directly, regardless of the presence of others.

"When are you going to do the agreed thing?"

For four days, he had been waiting for Tepesh to cheat his father-in-law, only to be disappointed day by day.

"You two, go down and rest."

After arranging for the two young men to deliver the letter, and they left the office, Tsepeš turned to the Duke of Da'an and spit out a word very stiffly: "Sit." ”

"I'm not sitting!"

At the dinner, Duke Da'an drank a few more glasses, and with the strength of wine and anger, he showed quite hardness.

"Do you know how Lloyd Dyer, the damn old guy, tortured me in the first place!?

Do you know how helpless Stephani was when he died!?

You don't know! You don't know anything! Will only order me to give you a job! ”

Completely ignoring the gentle image, he waved his arms vigorously at Cepes as he spoke, and vented his long-suppressed emotions.

Vomiting out all the anger and hysteria in his chest, he lowered his head and lowered his arms, tears of sadness, and his eyes were hazy.

"I'm a coward, a coward through and through, or 10 years ago, Lloyd Dyer and I, we would have had to die.

I'm sorry, Stephani, if you hadn't met me, you'd be happy right now.

I'm sorry, Amanda, if you hadn't met me, your life would have been happier than it is now. ”

At this point, Duke Da'an grabbed his hair hard, sat down in his seat, and bent over to bury his face in his knees.

"Every man, there is a sad story, I'm sorry, now I'm not interested in listening to the story.

The Ottoman army is massing and will set foot on our territory by mid-May at the latest. ”

In a time of damned times, tragedies abound, and Tsepeš was sympathetic, but never overflowing because of the hypocrisy of an aristocratic old man.

"What I promised you will definitely be done, and it will be even more than the original plan.

Now, go and draw up orders, mobilize food, weapons, and all kinds of necessities, and war is coming. ”

After receiving the news of the Ottoman attack, Tepes's brain was running rapidly.

As he said, the use of Lloyd Dyer must be brought to the extreme, and it is not as simple as pit out tens of thousands of gold coins.

For those who were arranged by Cepes, it was only a matter of time before they suffered losses and bleed.

After a while, Duke Da'an slowly raised his head, and his slightly swollen dark eyes stared at Cepes.

"Don't look at me, go to work right away, and I'll uncover the mystery at the Easter celebrations.

Remember, don't question me, especially at this moment of great enemy. ”

With no doubt in his tone, Duke Da'an pondered for a moment, straightened his messy hair, and got up to leave without saying a word.

The rationing and mobilization of various materials have a non-negligible impact on the winners and losers of the war.

Moreover, the plan could not keep up with the changes, and the large-scale military training that began in early May was also adjusted accordingly with the invasion of the Ottomans.

The materials prepared for military training should be put into the war first, and a large amount of work should be done accordingly, so that Duke Da'an would be busy.

Of course, on the bright side, centralizing supplies in advance speeds up the war response and buys more time for follow-up operations.

The office fell silent, and Tsepes thought for a moment before returning to his room to rest.

Regarding the Jockey Club, it was business as usual, and the Ottomans could not be allowed to affect the money-making plan.

On the fifth day of the game, people's enthusiasm was still the same, but after a night of precipitation, everyone's shots were much more stable than yesterday.

Those who have run out of credit can only do it in a hurry, and some of them even cash out the jewelry they carry with them to continue the game.

A total of 220 horses advanced to the second round, with eighteen races scheduled, the last two, each with fourteen horses participating.

The number thirteen is taboo in the West, and it must be avoided in all aspects.

Ten matches have been held yesterday, and the remaining eight of the second round have been carried out step by step without much waves.

The only thing worth mentioning is the fat man and his horse, the black dragon.

Others are promoted, relying on strength, and his promotion is all based on luck.

In the race, the fat man rode a black dragon and was in the middle of the twelve horses, and there was no hope of finishing in the top two.

However, people have misses, horses have stumbled, and due to the fierce competition, the first two horses have a traffic accident.

The hooves of the two horses accidentally tripped together, and one of them, neighing, fell on the field.

The horses followed too closely, causing a series of chain reactions, and even the people and horses lay down.

The sound of screams, hisses, and broken bones rushed into people's eardrums in an instant.

The strong opponent was almost wiped out, and the fat man rode the black dragon, bypassing the scene of the accident, and finally finished second and advanced to the next round.

Luck is also part of strength, and the racecourse will not deprive the Black Dragon of its achievements.

But in the later bets, it is estimated that no fool will waste money on it.

At the end of the eight races, the total bet amount is about 500,000 horse races, and the average value of each game has shrunk by more than 30% compared with yesterday.

Cepes was not surprised by this result, after all, some people have already lost all their capital and cannot contribute to the amount of betting.

The second round was completed and the thirty-six best horses advanced to the third round.

In the follow-up competition, there will still be a group of twelve horses, and the top two in each group will directly advance to the finals.

The 30 horses that did not qualify directly are not eliminated and have a chance to compete for the remaining four finals.

Thirty horses were divided into three groups, each of which took first place and advanced to the finals.

The second and third places in each group, a total of six horses, will be followed by a 1600-meter race, and the winner will receive the final spot.

One more race, one more income for the racecourse, if it weren't for the horse's physical strength to keep up, all kinds of repechage races, promotion races, Cepes would definitely make it more cumbersome than the talent show.

The first of the third round is the final race of the fifth race day, and the first twelve horses to advance yesterday will be on the field again.

The Red Dragon pays three, the Sun God pays five, the Female Knight pays six to one, the Rose Nightingale pays six to one, and the Hurricane pays seven to one......

This time, the staff carried two sets of betting cards, one of which was the same as before, with only the names of the horses.

The other group, each horse with fixed odds, was introduced into the race by Cepes.

The guests looked at the two sets of cards and whispered what was going on, while Cepes, with a big smile on his face, walked over to the new cards.

"Distinguished guests, don't be curious, this is a new way to play in the racecourse, and I will explain it to you in detail."

Next, Cepes gave the guests a brief summary of how they used to bet against each other, but now they can bet against the racecourse in search of higher returns.

Of course, it is impossible for Cepes to make a loss-making deal, and the setting of odds and the intervention of the race are all under the control of the racecourse.
