Chapter 228: Gambling
Woo woo -
There was a whistle in front of you, and the carriage suddenly went dark. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
This is the first and only tunnel through the mountain to Sequoia Town.
After passing through this tunnel, the road ahead is almost a straight line, but it is all a gentle downhill trend.
After a brief period of darkness, when light fell on the carriage again, the Grizzly Lauren's speed had reached a very high speed of 70 kilometers.
In the smooth carriage, the speed of 70 km/h did not feel at all, so everyone just felt that it was a little faster than just now.
But how much faster it is, no one knows how much it is.
Renault silently calculated, if he continued to maintain this speed, it was estimated that it would only take 10 minutes to catch up with and overtake the horse team in front of him.
At this time, Julian had just returned from the bet, and he was followed by the dealer of the gambling game, Nash, a great merchant in the North.
When he heard that there were members of the royal family here, he had to come and pay a visit.
"May the Demon God bless you, Your Royal Highness Princess Mia!"
Nash's skeleton is extraordinarily large, and the man is tall and strong, looking like an angular stone carving. His body was covered with ornate jewels and gold ornaments, and even the buttons on his cowhide boots were made of expensive opal.
"The Demon God bless you. ”
In front of outsiders, Mia put away her nature of liking to mess around and pretended to be high.
Nash took out three gold coupons of 50,000 gold coins from his pocket and respectfully placed them on the table.
"What are you doing here?"
Nash smiled flatteringly and said, "Since Her Royal Highness the princess has made a bet, she must have lost the bet." ”
Renault couldn't help but snort a few times, this guy looks like a tall horse and a good image, this horse is a good shot.
And since Mia can win, why not take our bet with interest?
Seeing that Renault's face was not good-looking, Nash turned to smile and said, "Lord Renault, don't mind, as long as your train can run past my horse team, your money will naturally be given with both hands." ”
Renault is also hehe, isn't this nonsense?
"You can take the gold coupon back first, I'm not someone who can't afford to lose. Mia said lightly.
Nash was stunned, he didn't expect Mia to not accept his affection in front of so many people.
However, he is always a big businessman who travels from south to north, and he has also heard that the personality of the royal family is a little strange, and the unhappiness in his heart is not half revealed on his face.
Without being invited, he found an empty seat and sat down.
"In that case, why don't we make the game a little bigger?"
He said as he looked at Renault slightly defiantly.
Is this man a fool?
Obviously, the speed of the train is already so fast, and he is about to catch up with the horse team in front of him, and he still wants him to raise?
And seeing that he looks confident, is there anything strange about his horse team?
After quietly giving Anna a look, and after she stepped out of the carriage, Renault responded with a smile: "Okay, I don't know Mr. Nash, how do you want to play?"
"Hehe, I've heard for a long time that the people of the Franklin family are bold, and today it seems that this is indeed the case. ”
The irony of this sentence is full, Renault couldn't help but think, isn't it because his cheap dad likes to gamble, why say it so tactfully.
"Let's just say it. ”
"Okay," Nash said, pulling out a stack of gold tickets from his pocket and placing them on the table without counting them, "Well, if Lord Renault wins my horse team on your train, these tickets will be yours, and of course I will pay you another twenty thousand." ”
So generous, Renault glanced at it, those gold coupons cost at least 100,000 yuan, a businessman is so rich, and the business is quite large.
"And what if I lose?"
"The agency of Liucui wine throughout the northern territory will be supplied at the current price for three years. ”
With such conditions, even if you lose, you won't lose.
Renault was about to say yes, but Hawkeye Hank quietly leaned on his foot under the table.
Renault knew he was worried about Nash's tricks, but he had great confidence in the Grizzly, but he had hinted that Anna had flown to the front to see, and that no matter what the horse team was doing, it wouldn't escape her eyes.
Seeing that he hesitated, Nash continued: "What's the matter, Lord Renault, compared to your father, you don't have the demeanor he had back then. Or do you think I'm not betting enough?"
Want to excite me?
Renault sneered in his heart, but he was going to respond, so he said, "Okay, let's gamble." ”
Hawkeye Hank sighed in silence, much to Renault's confusion.
Others don't know, doesn't Hank know how fast the Grizzly can go?
I was about to ask quietly, but Hank said that he had an upset stomach and went to the toilet at the junction of the car.
When he returned, Hank whispered in his ear, "Sure enough, there was a fraud. ”
"What fraud?"
In front of Nash, Hank didn't answer directly, took out a pen and paper, wrote it down, and handed it to him.
After Renault saw it, when he looked up at Nash again, he felt that this person could make such a big business, and it was really a good plan.
In fact, this is just a very simple little means, from the time Nash walked into this carriage to say hello to Mia, he had already started to lay out.
He slapped Mia's ass, deliberately upset Renault, and then took the opportunity to increase the stakes with Renault.
Renault reckoned that his horse team had no mystery at all, and that soon the train would overtake them.
In this way, Nash will probably lose more than 300,000 in this gamble.
But just now Hank went to the toilet and went to the back carriage to learn that before coming here, Nash asked people to make another bet, betting that within 15 minutes, the Grizzly Lauren would definitely outperform the horse team.
Originally, many people saw the horse team facing forward, and their confidence in the train was a little shaken, and as soon as the gamble opened, almost everyone put the bet on the horse team, and just now Hank's attendant went to ask, and the bet has exceeded 500,000 gold coins.
In this way, Nash can win at least hundreds of thousands of gold coins on this train trip.
At this time, Anna came back and said that the horse team was not far ahead, and that they had not played any tricks, and that they would soon be able to catch up.
Renault suddenly remembered a joke about an old lady who made a bet with the bank president that he had a birthmark on his buttocks, and the old lady lost to the president, but because the president showed her ass, she won another higher bet.
Renault is now the equivalent of the bank, and Nash is the cunning old lady.
Although he won the money, but the thought of being used by him made him very unhappy, he was no longer the little lord who made a few gold coins and everything was fine.
To deal with this man, he has a way, and the train is not a rocket, it can slow down.
So he called one of the guards and whispered, "Go and tell them to slow down." (To be continued.) )
