Chapter 229: True Appearance
The air was suddenly quiet again.
Gamblers and spectators, who have been here since this morning, feel that this day is really abnormal.
It had been strange since the morning, and in the afternoon it was even stranger, and by now they could not understand what was happening.
And the reason why it is quiet is because everyone starts to question it from nowhere.
The challenger has already been decided? Duan Ergongzi's opponent is actually a woman? This is not over, it is actually Miss Zhu Jiu, who is rumored to have a marriage contract with him?
And how did this Miss Zhu Jiu become a person from Tianquan Academy again?
It's messy, it's messy.
It's so messy that I can't understand it at all.
Not only did they not understand, but neither did the ladies and ladies of the noble sons of the box understand, but there were also some of the chiefs of the Tianzi Pavilion who did not understand.
The one who understood sat by the window and drank tea alone and did not speak.
Duan Lizheng, who originally thought that he had calmed down and would no longer be affected by this woman's affairs, was also stunned.
"Are you ......" Duan Lizheng looked at the woman in front of him and asked in a low voice, "Are you a student of Tianquan Academy?" ”
Zhu Luan looked at the note in the master of ceremonies' hand, her expression was a little surprised, and then she smiled as if she remembered something.
"Yes." She nodded.
"When did it be?" Duan Lizheng's tone was a little hesitant, "I don't mean anything else, but I've never heard of ......"
"This morning." Zhu Luan replied with a smile.
This morning? Duan Lizheng frowned slightly, but then suddenly.
Presumably after a tie with Yu Sinian.
Duan Lizheng thought of this woman being rejected by Ziyang Academy for unknown reasons, and his mood was a little complicated, both happy for this woman and sorry for this woman.
"I see. Congratulations, it seems that Mr. Wangxi of Tianquan Academy has a good eye. A sparse smile appeared on the young man's face, and he said sincerely.
Zhu Luan bowed slightly, "Thank you," she thanked her equally sincerely.
He joined the academy for the first time in his life, and he was the first person to congratulate her.
There were a lot of doubts around, but he quickly believed it and didn't think in any other direction.
He is really gentleman enough, sober enough, and not very prejudiced against women.
In times like these, this is a rarity.
No wonder Zhu Ying likes him.
Duan Lizheng's ability to quickly understand and accept this matter does not mean that other people can.
After the initial surprise, the surrounding people were skeptical.
"Tianquan Academy? What are you kidding, Hui Siyuan actually accepts a woman? "My third uncle's second nephew wanted to enter Tianquan Academy before, but he was kicked out by Mr. Wangxi!"
"No, before that, why did you shout the final bet before this martial arts bet was finished?" Someone shouted loudly.
"That's right! What is the comparison between the second son and this Miss Zhu! They're both unmarried! I want to fight and go home and fight! ”
"So even if a woman is a cultivator, she can't become a climate!"
The words around him became more and more unpleasant, and Duan Lizheng's brows furrowed.
"Silence!" At this moment, a loud shout like a bell suddenly came, as if echoing in everyone's ears.
This shout infused Zhenyuan, and everyone only felt a buzzing in their ears and covered their ears one after another.
Zhu Luan heard the sound and saw the red-clothed waiter who was originally standing on the side of the high platform walked up to the high platform, and was scanning the stage with a serious face.
"The gambling game of Dusk Cloud Tower, pay attention to your love and my willingness, the winner of the martial arts fight accepts the challenge according to the rules, and the one with the highest price wins, but in the end, whether to respond to the game depends on the winner's own ideas, and Dusk Cloud Tower is never strong." The red-clothed waiter said loudly.
"Second Prince Duan said that the bet is enough to reach 17,000 taels, don't add any more, Duyun Tower respects the opinion of the second son, is there any problem?"
The red-clothed waiter looked at Duan Lizheng as he spoke, and Duan Lizheng nodded when he heard this.
This shows that this is indeed his own will.
The discussion under the high stage gradually became smaller, and everyone on the side of the high stage and in the box looked at the young man on the stage in a daze, mixed with the resentful eyes of some women, and cast it on Zhu Luan.
"Then Miss Zhu Jiu confirmed that she would bet 17,000 taels?" Suddenly, someone shouted.
Zhu Luan nodded, took out the silver ticket from his arms and was about to hand it to the emcee, who waved his hand at her.
"No need to be like this, Miss Nine," the master of ceremonies said with a smile, "You only need to say a word to bet on Duyun Tower, no matter how big the bet is." ”
After speaking, the master of ceremonies stared solemnly at the person in the crowd who asked questions, "If you want to question, question Duyun Tower, our people in Duyun Tower have nothing to say, the bet of Dusk Cloud Club has always been innocent, and there has never been a mistake, this is our reputation for hundreds of years, please don't talk nonsense." ”
His voice was calm and clear, but this was the voice of Duyun Tower, and it was also the voice of the richest man in Huizhou.
Those who questioned it were silent.
But compared to the individual guests on the side of the high platform, although the nobles in the box would not suspect that Duyun Lou was tolerant in the matter of betting, Dui Yunlou still had doubts about the attitude of this Miss Zhu family's repeated maintenance.
In the Tianzi Pavilion, it was not only Yu Sinian who was in the spotlight, but also Mu Kezhi who was drinking by the window with a look of indifference.
"Look at what I'm doing," Mu Kezhi smiled as he looked at the person sitting at the table with a smile from his lips.
"What do you Mu family want to do?" Nian Huazang said coldly, "You knew from the beginning that she was Li Zheng's fiancée, so you invited her here?" ”
"I don't know." Mu Kezhi spread his hands, "If the Duan family wants to hide it, who can know?" Mu Kezhi glanced at Duan Haochu, who was drinking tea on the ground, "It was just a whim, and I didn't expect such a surprise." ”
"Surprise......" Situ Gaoyi looked at him speechlessly, "Frightened is about the same." ”
"Believe it or not, the first time I saw her was indeed at Wuqu Yinping Peak," Mu Kezhi laughed, "At that time, my eldest brother was still in Shendu, and it was my own initiative to invite her." ”
"But your eldest brother's attitude is a little unusual." Nian Huazang said lightly.
"My eldest brother is a businessman," the smile on the corner of Mu Kezhi's mouth faded, "Don't generalize him to us, his ideas and ways of doing things are different from ours." ”
"More than 20,000 taels of silver for one is unusual, I think it's very ordinary." Li Wenyao said calmly on the side.
He looked at the woman downstairs who was standing opposite Duan Lizheng with complicated eyes.
This woman's ability to provoke gambling is top-notch, counting the loser's double compensation, Duyun Lou's single commission can be worth ten games of normal gambling.
And this time the Twilight Cloud Meeting, it looks chaotic, but it is definitely the most ups and downs in ten years, it can be expected that for a long time after that, the rest of the waves will stay in the Twilight Cloud Building, and the business of the Twilight Cloud Building will also go to the next level.
When they heard this, they were silent.
"I don't know what this martial arts fight will become, does Li Zheng really want to fight his little fiancée?" Hong Shan broke the silence and said with a sigh.
I want to talk about "Yingluan" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
