Chapter 281: Betting
There are many large and small gambling houses in the imperial capital, and the usual business can only be regarded as average, but when the joint court competition is held, it is at its peak.
At this moment, the large and small gambling houses are already overcrowded, and there is an endless stream of noise, and there are arguments about how to bet, and some people even make big moves.
There are four large gambling houses in the imperial capital, these four gambling houses are ostensibly set up by wealthy merchants, but only a few people know that there is the shadow of the Iron and Wood Chamber of Commerce behind this gambling house.
Normally, ordinary gamblers don't come here, because the stakes here are so big that non-wealthy businessmen can't have a pastime at all, but today it's different.
Although the four major casinos are very demanding, the credibility goes without saying, as long as you win, you can afford to lose.
And during the joint competition, there will be no restrictions on who will come in, even if you are called Hanako, as long as you want to bet, it will be accepted here, which also causes the four major gambling houses to be crowded.
"Brother, who are you betting on?"
The lower the odds, the stronger the strength, and the greater the certainty of winning, so whoever has low odds will buy whomever they want. ”
This is true, but the odds are low, even if you place the right bet at that time, you won't earn much, and in my opinion, you still have the highest odds. ”
"Why are the people in front of me so slow, I've been here for an hour, and I haven't even seen the odds yet. ”
"You've only been here for an hour, what's the hurry, I've been waiting for two hours. ”
"Brother, did you bet right? I wonder what the odds are?"
"The princess has the lowest odds, followed by Na Wei Min, then Fu Ran, and finally Wei Guanyue. ”
Such conversations take place in almost every gambling house, and the odds are the same, as if they had been agreed upon a long time ago. It's no wonder, after all, the four major gambling houses are all colluding, and as for those general gambling houses, they naturally follow the four major gambling houses.
As soon as night falls, the odds for tomorrow are finally spread out in the city, and Galland is 1-5. It is the lowest odds, bet ten gold coins, and if Galland wins, you will get fifteen gold coins, half the odds.
And Wei Min is one to one point and six points, which is not much different from Gallan, this is still the four major gambling houses have secretly argued for a long time before it was decided, and Gallan's strength has long been rumored, and today's shot can be seen. But it's just the tip of the iceberg, and Wei Min is a powerful person after all, and he has a heaven-level mysterious weapon in his hand, and his means are also extraordinary, and he hasn't done his best today.
Compared with Garlan and Wei Min, Fu Ran and Wei Guanyue are different, and today's fight between the two is mainly hand-to-hand combat, especially Wei Guanyue. Today he was even injured, though not seriously. But I'm afraid it will also affect tomorrow's performance, so the odds are the highest, one to two.
As for Fu Ran, today's strength is also seen by countless people, and in terms of hand-to-hand combat, he may be at the head of the four. But if it is a decision, I am afraid that it will be a little worse than Gaalan and Wei Min, so the odds are one to one and eight points.
Compared with the odds of previous years, this year is relatively balanced, and the difference is not big. It also makes many people hesitate, especially those who are more ruthless, once they lose, it can be said that they are bankrupt, but once they bet right, they can get great returns, and it is not an exaggeration to describe them as getting rich overnight.
The bet will continue to end at noon tomorrow, because according to the rules of previous years, these last two games will be held in the afternoon in order to allow the four to recover and prepare, but judging from today's situation, the only one who needs to recover and prepare should be Wei Guanyue.
Late at night, the imperial capital is still prosperous, and some people who have already bet on it are difficult to sleep, as for Fu Ran is still sitting cross-legged on the bed, he has already digested today's fight with Ding Fu, but for tomorrow, he still needs to breathe.
Tomorrow is extremely important to him, if tomorrow fails, then his plan will also be disrupted, and he will lose the qualification of the East Courtyard of Qingfeng Academy, and it will be extremely difficult to go to Zhongzhou.
The Eastern Regions are extremely vast, and if he wants to cross the Eastern Regions, with his strength, I am afraid it will take several years, but even if it reaches the handover of the Eastern Regions and Zhongzhou, he will not be able to step into Zhongzhou, and will be blocked by 100,000 mountains.
It is said that Zhongzhou is a flat river, but it is surrounded by 100,000 mountains, there are countless mysterious beasts in it, and even in the core area, there are divine beasts, even if it is a master of the Wheel Emperor Realm, you have to be careful in the 100,000 mountains, and it is very likely to fall if you are not careful.
Therefore, if you want to go from the Eastern Regions to Zhongzhou, the only way to do this is through the teleportation rune or formation, if it is the peak period of the burning of the elderly, Fu Ran is not worried, but with the state of the burning of the old being sealed, it is impossible to draw the rune that is teleported to Zhongzhou.
Only those big forces have mastered the teleportation runes and formations leading to Zhongzhou, but every time they are opened, the consumption is very terrifying, and there are no special circumstances, and they will not be used by outsiders at all.
This is also why Fu Ran attaches so much importance to tomorrow's game, because the East Courtyard of Qingfeng Academy is connected to Zhongzhou, and as long as he steps into the East Courtyard of Qingfeng Academy, he will have the opportunity to go to Zhongzhou.
And if you want to be in the East Courtyard of Qingfeng Academy today, tomorrow's battle is the first level, and he can't be defeated, let alone defeated in the hands of Garlan.
Once defeated, then it is logical for the emperor to dissolve the marriage contract, he does not care about the marriage contract with Gallan, but he cannot discredit the face of his ancestors.
And there is Bu Fan, if he loses, Bu Fan will help Lingnan County to rebel, who is Bu Fan? He doesn't know, but his means can be imagined, if he gets Bu Fan's help, Lingnan County will be able to take the Gal Empire in one fell swoop.
This is the Gar Empire that his ancestors have guarded for four generations, and he doesn't want to fall into the hands of Lingnan County like this.
Therefore, Fu Ran only breathed, although today he only consumed Xuan Li and was not injured at all, but he still had to breathe so that he could maintain his peak tomorrow.
And his pranayama was all night, and it was not until the next day when the sun was shining that he opened his eyes.
After washing up, I changed into clean clothes and went out of the restaurant.
When he appeared on the street, he immediately attracted countless eyes, not many people knew him before, but now it is different, almost the entire imperial capital knows what he looks like.
Being watched by so many eyes, Fu Ran still didn't like it a little too much, and sped up his pace.
Outside a gambling house, Fu Ran paused, the corners of his mouth twitched, and stepped into it.
Fu Ran, who was one of the last four contestants this time, appeared in the gambling hall and was immediately noticed by everyone, each with a different look, but he didn't care.
Because most of the bettors had already placed bets last night, and many people flocked to the square today, the gambling hall was not so crowded at the moment, and after a while, Fu Ran came to the counter.
"Childe, do you want to bet?
A beautiful woman in front of the counter was accustomed to speaking, but when her eyes fell on Fu Ran, she suddenly paused, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.
Fu Ran ignored the woman's changing complexion, and looked up at the wall behind the woman, where a four-piece wooden plate was hung, and the odds of the four people were clearly marked on it.
"Fu Ran Gongzi, you are a contestant, this" The woman immediately reacted, she was a little embarrassed at the moment, Fu Ran appeared here, she naturally knew her purpose.
"Isn't everyone able to bet?" retracted his gaze, fell on the woman, and Fu Ran spoke flatly.
"That's true, but you're a contestant after all, and it's the first time the little girl has encountered this situation, and she still needs to ask for instructions. The woman spoke, nodded to Fu Ran at the same time, and wanted to turn around, but at this moment, an old woman appeared.
"Old Ni, Fu Ran Gongzi" Seeing the old woman, the woman hurriedly bent down and saluted, and spoke at the same time, but halfway through the conversation, she was stopped by the old woman.
"The rules of the gambling house, anyone can bet, even the contestants are no exception, I don't know who Fu Ran's son wants to buy?" The old woman looked at Fu Ran and asked.
Asked by the old woman, Fu Ran lowered his head and pondered, as if he was thinking about it, and the old woman was not in a hurry.
Fu Ran's bet was naturally known by the people around him, and they were all slightly shocked immediately, as the last four people of the contestants actually wanted to bet, this kind of thing appeared for the first time, and it immediately made these people interested, and they all looked over, not knowing who Fu Ran wanted to bet on.
However, many people nodded, since Fu Ran wanted to bet, he naturally bought himself, but it is unknown how much he bet.
In the expectant gaze of everyone, Fu Ran looked up at the old woman, and at the same time flipped it with one hand, a bracelet, bone, carved with runes on it, handed out.
"Bet on Fu Ran, 30,000 gold coins!"
As soon as these words came out, the entire gambling house fell silent, and the pins could be heard, and everyone's faces were shocked. (To be continued.) )
