Chapter 57: Grab the money

"Who is it?" asked Ao Wuxue.

"It's a guy named Li Wen. Ling Feng replied that when he returned home that day, he had left the matter behind him and focused on studying Elven language. For him, this matter was not important at all, fortunately, not long time had passed, and Ling Feng could remember this matter immediately, and this duel book reminded him that he had promised to fight alone. If this is known by the person concerned, the duel that he values has no status in the hearts of others, and it will make him crazy.

"Li asked, who is he, why would he duel with you?" Ao Wuxue asked continuously.

Ling Feng put the letter into the ring and replied, "I only know that he is an upperclassman in our school, and I don't know much about the rest. ”

"I don't know, then why did I duel with you?" asked Long Jue curiously.

"This ......" Ling Feng didn't know what to say, because this duel was completely triggered by Li Wen's jealousy, and he promised him that it was just like using this matter to accomplish another thing. If you tell them now, it will definitely cause them to laugh, but there is no way, even if you don't say it now, they will still know in the future.

"Li Wen is a suitor of Xue Qing, and the last time I went to school to pick up a book, Xue Qing was by my side. This Li Wen saw Xue Qing and me together, thinking that I had some special relationship with Xue Qing. Needless to say, you can guess what will happen in the future. Ling Feng said lightly, as if it was none of his business.

"I see, I want to duel you for the sake of snow. Actually, it's good, it's a romantic thing to find someone to duel for the sake of your sweetheart. This will make the snow love you more. Ao Wuxue's eyes lit up and said, she didn't think about whether Ling Feng won or lost, and in her heart she decided that Ling Feng would definitely win. is not only the amazing performance of Ling Feng's strength these times, but also because in the mother's heart, the son is always the best, including "fighting".

"Mom, didn't Dad often duel for you in the past, that's why you liked her. Otherwise, how could there be such an experience. Ling Feng looked at Ao Wuxue, whose eyes were glowing, and asked.

Ao Wuxue stared at Long Jue, and said lightly: "Where is it, your father was not too beautiful at that time, compared to the women around him, it was not like that at all." I've fought duels for other women, so I'll ...... Hmph......"

When Long Jue heard Ling Feng ask this, he knew that it was going to be bad. He only duel for a woman, but not Ao Wuxue, this is a thorn in Ao Wuxue's heart, and every time he talks about this, he feels very unhappy. So he hurriedly said: "Men duel is not just for love, son, you are right, you are not duel for love this time!"

"Yes, I didn't agree to this duel for love. There is no relationship at all. Duel is a dangerous game, you can die at any time, if you really love someone, you will not ask him to duel, and you will not go to duel, because no matter what the result is, it will make the person who loves you suffer. Ling Feng said immediately, he didn't know when he saw such a situation, although Ao Wuxue's tone was flat just now, but the content was very flavorful, firey.

"Well, let's see. Even my son said that you still talk about me all day long, in fact, you have to think that if I really go to the duel, if I hang up, you will be sad. I'm not going to do anything to make you sad, never. Long Jue looked at Ao Wuxue and said in a firm tone.

"Okay, okay, I got it. I will not mention it again, lest you say that I don't love you enough and want you to risk your life. Ao Wuxue pretended to be very normal and said, but the smile in her eyes let everyone know that she was happy, because what Long Jue said made her feel very happy. Even if he hasn't dueled for himself, he just needs to know that the person he loves the most is himself, so why should the others care so much.

Seeing that it had an effect, Long Jue stretched out his thumb to Ling Feng behind his back, and then changed the topic, not wanting to talk too much on this topic. Asked: "Why did you accept this duel? It stands to reason that your current title is still a senior swordsman, and a person two levels higher than you is an intermediate swordsman, so what does it mean for you to duel with a person of this strength?"

"Li Wen is not an intermediate sword master. ”

"It's not an intermediate swordsman, it's a junior swordsman???Is it still a swordsman??" asked Long Jue.

He is a high-level sword master, but I heard that his real strength is higher than that of a high-level sword master, and he should be a junior sword master. ”

"Senior Sword Master???It could also be a junior Sword Master???Didn't he know that it was a joke to propose a duel to you, who was now three levels lower than him??Who is this Li asked?uh??Who is answering???" Long Jue suddenly saw that Ling Feng's mouth hadn't moved at all, and he had been smiling slightly. The person who had just answered his question must have been someone else, who turned his head to see a man behind him, looking at him.

"Baiyun, why do you walk without making a sound at all. And there is not even breath, last time it was like this, this time it is like this again. It doesn't make sense, how can you, a magician, get close to me and not be discovered by me?" The person who came was Bai Yun, and this time it was Long Jue who was approached by him silently, thinking that it was a coincidence once, but twice it would not be a coincidence, Bai Yun must have some way to approach silently without being noticed.

"Actually, I recently got something that can isolate the breath from my body. Na...... That's it......" I saw Bai Yun take out a bronze medal of a six-pointed star from his body, with many lines engraved on it, "This is called a hidden star, it is a magic item, and its main function is to isolate the breath, so that he will not be discovered." ”

"No wonder I can't find out, it turns out that you are carrying such a thing, so that people can't detect your breath. Long Jue looked at the hidden star in Bai Yun's hand, "How do you know that Li asked so many things, could it be that Xue Qing told you?"

"Of course I know this, not only because of the snow situation, but in fact, the most important thing is Li Wen's father, you should also know it, and it should be regarded as an acquaintance. He is our Quartermaster Lehi. Bai Yun said slowly.

"Damn...... It turned out to be Lehi, a kid who we not only knew each other, but also knew each other very well. Every time I asked for something, he would push back and not want to give it to me, saying that the empire didn't have such military spending, and asking me not to waste too much things. He knows something, my soldiers are fighting with their lives, of course they have to be fully prepared. If one thing is missing, there is one more danger. I've only heard that he has a son who is studying swordsmanship in the Royal Academy, and he is still one of the top ten figures, but I don't know what his name is. Long Jue was very angry with this Li Hai in advance, every time he asked for something, he was very unhappy, and he had to break up unhappily, he finally said to Ling Feng, "Son, don't show mercy to his son, beat him up for me, let him lie in bed for a month and can't get out of bed." ”

"Long Tian, don't listen to your father's nonsense. People are also thinking about the whole army, you must know that he is in charge of the daily needs of your army, as well as armaments, weapons and other things, he has to consider. You want someone to give you the best thing every time, where does he have so much money to buy what you want. He also has to make sure that your army doesn't starve to death and freeze to death. Bai Yun was upset with Lehi, and he knew that Lehi was busy all day long for the army.

"I also know this, so I didn't be able to bargain with him, or I would have just let him do something. But in the end, it's all because you, the Minister of Finance, don't allocate more gold coins to my army. Long Jue pointed the finger at Bai Yun again.

"How can you blame me, I only have so much money in my hand, and I won't give you an extra military budget out of thin air. I'm going to have to pay for the construction of the empire's cities, prepare for the salaries of the officials, and ......"

"I see, I don't blame you. You can stop. "Every time he talks about this, Bai Yun will do this, report his financial support one by one, and bombard Long Jue with fatigue. Long Jue would interrupt him before he could finish his sentence, preventing him from continuing.

"Long Tian, why did you agree to this duel, with your strength, even the Great Sword Saint can handle it, to deal with a person who has not yet become a Sword Saint level, is it a bit of a bully for you. Bai Yun said that enough was enough, so he asked the question in his heart, he was also very curious why Ling Feng would agree to a duel with a huge disparity in strength, it was completely meaningless.

"Well, I've been short of money lately, so I agreed to this duel. "The reason why Ling Feng agreed to this duel was entirely because the duel was accompanied by one thing. That is gambling, no matter where or what culture it is, there will be gambling as a product.

"Lack of money???Do you want to bet, I understand, your strength is only known to a little people, and outsiders don't know. In this way, the dealer will not know your true strength and misestimate your odds. In that case, you can win a lot. That's right, Long Tian, he can even think of this trick to make money, anyway, their dealer is not a good thing, and making their money is not a big problem. "Bai Yun is worthy of being the one who manages the entire empire's economy, and he immediately guessed Ling Feng's thoughts.

"That's exactly what I wanted. And you're also prepared to bet big, so if you want to borrow some gold coins, you'll pay back double when you win. Ling Feng nodded.

"Borrow money, stinky boy, don't you have any money at home? You go to someone else to borrow money?" Ao Wuxue knocked Ling Feng and said loudly.

"What, of course I will take the family's money, but I will also borrow Uncle Bai's money. Ling Feng touched his poor head and said loudly.

"The family doesn't have much money, but I can still take out 200,000 gold coins. Isn't that enough for you to bet. ”

"It's not enough. Ling Feng said a shocking sentence, he had never heard of a person taking so much money to gamble, even if it was 200,000, it was unprecedented. Looking at Ling Feng's meaning, it seems that he is not satisfied, and he has to press the money again.

"200,000 is not enough, how much do you want to press?300,000, 400,000, or 500,000?" Ao Wuxue was a little angry, she didn't want Ling Feng to make such a big gamble.

"500,000!?Mom, it's too imaginable. I only need 300,000 to be enough. After Ling Feng heard Ao Wuxue's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then immediately said.

"Bang" Ao Wuxue knocked Ling Feng fiercely, and shouted loudly: "As long as 300,000? ”

"Mom, don't. I must have 300,000 to get the blowing snow back, otherwise why would I promise him a duel. Mom, you know, I'm not gambling. ”

"It's not gambling, what is it? Is it that you do good deeds and give money to those 'poor' dealers. ”

"Mom, you have to know that gambling is something that has a chance to win, but also a chance to lose. I know I'm going to win, so it's not gambling. It should be to win the money of the dealers, or it can be said that I am robbing the money, robbing the money of those dealers. I'm excited when I think about it, and I laugh in my dreams, baby...... Haha......"

“......”

"Son, when are you going to duel, and where is the location?" Long Jue asked after waking up Ling Feng's dream of making a fortune.

Ling Feng stopped his obscenity and replied, "On the seventh day of the first month of the next month, in the arena." ”

Long Jue touched his chin, thought for a moment, and said: "That means that there are still twenty days to go, what preparations do you have to make in these twenty days, no matter how you say it, it is also a duel, you can't be sloppy!"

"This ......," Ling Feng thought for a moment, "first I'm going to build a weapon, and then I'm going to get familiar with it." Then there's the matter of arranging bets. But before that, I'm going to take a few days off and get some body up. ”

"Well, weapons are very important, and you can't be sloppy. Of course, the body is more important, you should rest well these days and don't walk around. Long Jue nodded and said, he wanted Ling Feng to have a good rest, and then build a weapon, as for the bet in the middle, he ignored it.

"Well, in that case, I'll start resting now. What do you have to talk about? After saying that, Ling Feng walked towards the small building.

"Wait for Long Tian!"

"What's the matter, Uncle Bai!" Ling Feng hadn't taken a few steps away before he was stopped by Bai Yun.

"What do you think I'm here for today, I'm just here to see if you're awake. Then I will talk to you about something. Bai Yun said.

"Bai Yun, what are you discussing with Xiaotian?" Long Jue wondered.

"Yes, Uncle White. You have something to discuss with me. Could it be that there is something wrong with the snow?"

"Phew...... The snow in my house is very good, how can there be a problem. Do you want to have something wrong with her, and then stay by your side. Actually, she really wants to stay by your side now, but this incident has made her know her shortcomings, so now she is working hard to practice magic. Bai Yun said with emotion.

"In that case, what else is there to discuss with me. I'm not your official. "Ling Feng knows the news of the snow situation accurately so far, and he is relieved to know her current situation. As for whether she followed her by her side, Ling Feng never thought that she had to follow.

"There are some people who want to see you, and I don't know if you have time to meet them. Or if there is time for them to come and meet you. ”

"See me??Who is it??"
