Chapter 935: The Bet
Zhou Shangwu was able to establish this ring so quickly, this is because there was such a martial arts competition ring in the palace before, which was originally used by the Praetorian Guards to compete or perform martial arts for the emperor to see, or some princes used to practice martial arts when they were young, so Zhou Shangwu was able to arrange everything in a short time.
"Your Majesty, the competition ring has been prepared. Zhou Shangwu knelt on the top of the hall and said.
"Well, fortunately, Zhou Aiqing is suffering. Yan Hao nodded with satisfaction.
"Let's go, ladies and gentlemen, let's go to the ring. After speaking, Emperor Yan Hao and the ministers came to the side hall where the martial arts competition ring was located.
The emperor and his party had just sat down, and Zhou Shangwu was about to come out and shout to start, when Yu Ziqiao on the side suddenly walked in front of Lin Ze and said: "General Lin, your prestige Yu has long admired his name, and he has long wanted to ask for advice in his heart, today is a godsend, but since it is a grand event, why don't we add some bets to it, so that this grand event will be more perfect, I don't know if you are willing, General Lin?"
For a moment, the hall was so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.
Yu Zesheng did this, making it clear that he didn't take Lin Ze in his eyes, so he would say anything to increase the stakes, which was simply a provocation to Lin Ze naked.
Lin Ze didn't care very much about this contest in his heart, but Lin Ze could still see the emperor's thoughts, so Lin Ze decided in his heart before that this contest would end in a draw, so that he would not lose face on his side, and the emperor would be able to explain anywhere.
After all, his current promotion is still in the hands of the emperor, and if he really wants to make the emperor unhappy, then there will really be a problem with his promotion.
Lin Ze saw Song Yun'er and Yu Ziqiao enter together, although he didn't know whether Tang Rou'er took the initiative, or Yu Ziqiao pestered Song Yun'er, but Lin Ze's heart was still extremely unhappy, and he had already made up his mind that as long as he had the opportunity, he would give this guy a good look, and let him know that his woman was not something he could worry about.
At this time, seeing Yu Ziqiao and not knowing whether he was alive or dead, he stepped forward and took the initiative to ask for battle, so what chips to add, which was in Lin Ze's arms.
Therefore, Lin Ze replied with a smile: "Since it is General Yu who has this interest, then Lin is better to be respectful than to obey his fate, but I don't know what General Yu wants to gamble on?"
"What are you betting on?" hehe...... Yu Ziqiao smiled, and then said: "General Lin, when you fought before, it seems that General Lin made a windfall, right?"
"Oh, yes!" Lin Ze frowned, and he already had a guess in his heart.
"Since that's the case, then I'll bet six million gold coins with General Lin, how about it, General Lin, do you dare to take this bet?" Yu Ziqiao looked at Lin Ze with a provocative expression, his heart was actually very nervous at this time, because he was afraid that Lin Ze would not agree.
Lin Ze is only the ninth layer of the day after tomorrow, and he is a quasi-innate strength, the strength of the two is very different, it can be said that the nine layers and nine layers are here with him, if Lin Ze does not agree, it is also a normal thing, and he can't force it.
However, this is the last thing Yu Ziqiao wants to see, because three of the nine gambling houses that Lin Ze won belong to the Yu family and the Seven Princes, that is to say, the Yu family and the Seven Princes 'sent' a gift of three million gold coins to Lin Ze before.
This is three million gold coins, not three million silver coins, such a large sum of money has already hurt the Seventh Prince and the Yu family, plus the previous Confucian calculations were destroyed, the emperor shifted most of his attention to the Seven Princes, which made the Seven Princes' side even worse.
Therefore, Yan Yucheng, the seventh prince, had long been eyeing the nine million gold coins that fell into Lin Ze's pocket, and this time Yu Ziqiao would add such a big bet in order to win the large amount of gold coins in Lin Ze's hand.
"Oh, the bet of six million gold coins......." Lin Ze laughed in his heart, but the look on his face was indeed hesitant.
After understanding Yu Ziqiao's calculations, Lin Ze was also ready to play Yu Ziqiao's tricks.
"What, doesn't General Lin dare?" Yu Ziqiao said with a nervous face, and for this reason, he directly used the agitation method, regardless of how rough his own agitation method was.
Anyway, at this time, the Seventh Prince Yan Yucheng and Kong Yu were scolding Yu Ziqiao in their hearts for not using tricks.
"Hehe......." Yu Ziqiao's 'agitation method' made Lin Ze laugh.
Then, he continued: "General Yu, it's not that I don't dare, but General Yu, your strength itself is much stronger than mine, and my chances of winning are not high, and now you bet against me like this, isn't it .......?"
Although Lin Ze didn't say the rest of the words, none of the people present could guess it.
Lin Ze is the strength of the ninth layer of the day after tomorrow, and Yu Ziqiao is a quasi-innate strength, the gamble proposed by Yu Ziqiao is indeed too bullying Lin Ze, or rather, he directly treats Lin Ze as a fool.
"It's ....... , this ......." Lin Ze's words made Yu Ziqiao speak.
"General Lin, it seems that you already have a plan in your heart, then you can say it!" Yu Ziqiao also saw that Lin Ze actually had other plans in his heart at this time, so he was going to listen to Lin Ze's plan first.
"Happy!" Lin Ze gave a thumbs up to Yu Ziqiao.
"General Yu, the winning rate on your side is very high in this competition, so if the two of us want to bet against each other, the odds on your side must be higher, for example, I will give five million gold coins, but if I win, General Yu, you will have to accompany me with 10 million gold coins, and the two sides will lose one to two, how about it, General Yu, this condition is not harsh, right?" Lin Ze smiled and said his suggestion.
"One to two?" Yu Ziqiao looked at Lin Ze in front of him with a complicated expression, and the original desire to be able to defeat Lin Ze 100% disappeared a lot.
Yu Ziqiao is not a fool, otherwise he would be able to cultivate to quasi-innate strength at such a young age.
According to common sense, at this time, Lin Zeyin should have rejected his proposed bet, instead of not only agreeing to his bet, but changing the betting rate to one to two.
will make such a decision, one is either a fool, and the other is that the other party is absolutely sure.
Who is Lin Ze? He can lead 30,000 or 40,000 recruits to wipe out more than 300,000 Black Wind Thieves, can such a character be a fool?!
The answer is obvious, so Yu Ziqiao believes that Lin Ze is sure of victory.
"What's the matter, General Yu doesn't dare?" Lin Ze said with a smile, he knew that he had acted a little rough before, and Yu Ziqiao had seen something.
"Yes, I really don't dare!" Yu Ziqiao didn't care about his face, and directly said that he didn't dare to bet with Lin Ze like this.
"This Yu Ziqiao is not simple!" Lin Ze secretly thought in his heart: "Where would ordinary people be in the hall, or say that they dare not show weakness like this in front of the emperor, but this Yu Ziqiao said it directly, it can be seen that this person is not simple!"
Lin Ze's heart increased his vigilance.
However, Lin Ze already had a way in his heart, Yu Ziqiao didn't accept the offer, and some people would accept it, so Lin Ze turned to the Seventh Prince on the side and said, "Seventh Prince, what do you think?
Yu Ziqiao and Lin Ze competed, and it was instructed by the Seventh Prince Yan Yucheng behind his back, so Lin Ze directly found the Seventh Prince Yan Yucheng.
Yu Ziqiao can be shameless in front of the emperor, but Yan Yucheng, who is the seventh prince, will definitely not be able to do it, because if he really wants to do this, he will lose the qualification to compete for the throne.
As the heir to the throne, you must have the courage to swim against the current, if you retreat in the face of such a gamble today, you will also retreat in the face of certain things in the future, in this case, you will never ascend to the throne.
As for whether Lin Ze will become mortal enemies with the Seventh Prince if he does this, hehe, Lin Ze said that he didn't care.
After the Seventh Prince sent someone to the gate of the city to block himself, wanting to give himself a horse, after Lin Ze killed Yu Zeying for Ping'er, and after Kong Yu revealed his killing intentions to Lin Ze several times, the Seventh Prince Yan Yucheng and Lin Ze were undying enemies.
Sure enough, after hearing Lin Ze's words, the Seventh Prince said without thinking: "Ziqiao, promise him!"
"His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, this is Lin Lixuan's conspiracy!" Yu Ziqiao said with an anxious expression.
"Don't say it, I have confidence in you!" said the Seventh Prince, Yan Yucheng, with a solemn face.
Yu Ziqiao is a quasi-congenital powerhouse, and Lin Ze is only the strength of the ninth layer of the day after tomorrow, and Yan Yucheng, the seventh prince, does not believe that Yu Ziqiao will lose to Lin Ze.
"Yes, Your Highness, you will definitely win your job!" Yu Ziqiao said with a touched face, and at the same time secretly scolded himself in his heart.
"I am a quasi-innate strength, will I not be able to defeat a ninth-layer Lin Lixuan, Yu Ziqiao, Yu Ziqiao, don't be defeated by Lin Lixuan's psychological offensive, his strength in commanding the army is very strong, and he has also managed to defeat the strong with the weak, but this does not mean that he can also defeat the strong with the weak when he competes, Yu Ziqiao, don't be intimidated by Lin Lixuan!"
Yu Ziqiao continued to encourage himself in his heart, and the self-confidence in his eyes was getting more and more.
"Okay, His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince is really refreshing, then this time the gambling game is decided, I will pay five million gold coins for the bet, and I will win by myself with one loss and two bets!" Lin Ze said loudly.
"Okay, I'll take your gamble, five million, one to two!" The Seventh Prince took the gamble without hesitation.
This is not over, the seventh prince directly turned to the ministers around him and said: "Ministers, you can also bet, the same odds of one to two!"
"Okay, I'll give 10,000 gold coins and bet on the general to win!"
"I'll give 20,000 gold coins, and I'll also bet on the general to win!"
