Chapter 268 Randomly select a lucky person and kill Jitian(1/2)
"Sir, there are a lot of people buying Ye Gucheng and winning now. If Ye Gucheng really wins, we have to pay at least three million taels." Shopkeeper Liu had a worried look on his face, which was just a little while before the other semi-colons got the news.
Be late, otherwise you will definitely lose more.
"Sir, do you want to adjust the odds back immediately?"
Lin Lang was very dissatisfied: "That's it?"
The loss is 3 million taels, so the bet to win on Ye Gucheng is only over 300,000 taels?
Are there so few greedy people? Are gamblers so calm?
Shopkeeper Liu was stunned. The compensation of three million taels was still small. All the profits of the Silver Hook Gambling House for a year were lost in this one loss.
“Can the odds be adjusted higher?”
Shopkeeper Liu knelt down in front of Lin Lang: "If you are not satisfied with me, sir, I can resign as shopkeeper and go home to farm. I have an eighty-year-old mother and a son who is waiting to be fed. I beg you to show your favor."
Lin Lang: "???"
Isn’t it surprising that Shopkeeper Liu, who is about sixty and eighty years old, has a son who is waiting to be fed?
You will get stronger with age.
"Whoever wants to kill you, anyway, I just want more people to bet at Silver Hook Casino. No matter who wins, the next one will come."
"You are a professional in this area, don't let me down."
"If you can't do this, hum." Lin Lang smiled and patted Shopkeeper Liu on the shoulder.
Shopkeeper Liu raised his head: "Sir, if you just want more people to bet, it would be better to lower the odds slightly, so as to attract the real rich people."
Lin Lang also understood that Silver Hook Gambling House, as the number one gambling house in the world, offered a price of ten to one. This was obviously because he did not believe that Ye Gucheng could win, so except for some people who wanted to get rich overnight, everyone else
Everyone is waiting and watching.
"Okay, you can figure it out. Anyway, I'll make more money this time, so I won't treat you badly."
He decided to add more fire to stimulate those gamblers.
…
When Lu Xiaofeng came out of Piaoxiang Pavilion, he found that many Jianghu people had come to the capital, many of whom were considered his friends.
Even though there were many people he didn't know before, when they heard his name, Lu Xiaofeng, they were all willing to buy them a drink and feel proud to make friends with him.
After all, everyone knows that he, Lu Xiaofeng, is definitely a good friend to his friends.
"Master Lu, I heard that Ximen Chuixue married a wife, is it true?" Someone saw Lu Xiaofeng appearing in the restaurant and asked loudly.
Lu Xiaofeng's expression changed. Has the news spread?
It's obvious that Ximen Chuixue didn't hold a wedding at all and didn't even invite his friend. How could anyone in the world know about it?
"I don't know. Anyway, he didn't invite me to drink." Lu Xiaofeng said casually.
But many people are thoughtful about these words. If Lu doesn't know, rather than refutes, then it is very likely to be true.
"It seems that the honest monk is indeed honest, and what he said must be true. If Ximen Chuixue is concerned, his swordsmanship will definitely decline, and he will definitely lose."
"You're walking around, you're still drinking, why don't you hurry up and buy Ye Gucheng to win before Silver Hook Casino reacts?"
"It was still 10 to 1 in the morning. I heard that the odds have been reduced to 1 to 2 now. If I go too late, it may become 20 to 21."... "Ximen Chuixue's odds have become 1 to 1."
It’s five, would you like to buy some to try?”
"Go ahead and bet. Silver Hook Gambling House has raised its odds just to attract fools like you to give away money."
Silver Hook Casino offered Ye Gucheng a 10-for-10 win this morning?
Lu Xiaofeng felt something was wrong. Isn't the big owner of Silver Hook Casino Lin Lang?
Lin Lang knew that Ximen Chuixue had declined in swordsmanship, so how could he let Silver Hook Casino offer such high odds for Ye Gucheng to win?
And didn’t Ye Gucheng leave an extremely powerful sword mark on the palace wall last night?
"What does Lin Lang want to do? Does he know some secrets?"
Lu Xiaofeng's curiosity aroused, so he had to investigate it carefully.
Maybe he could ask the honest monk about the situation and find the traces of Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue as soon as possible.
He was certain that both of them must have arrived in the capital, but were hiding in a place where others could not find them.
Ximen Chuixue would take a bath and burn incense in advance when competing with others, because Ximen Chuixue believed this was a sacred thing.
Ye Gucheng is similar to Ximen Chuixue, so he must have adjusted his condition in advance.
Yesterday, Ye Gucheng probably went to the Ming Palace in advance to explore the way. After all, the incident was so big this time, and they were worried about being ambushed by people from the Ming court.
They don't care about dozens or even hundreds of people, but what about tens of thousands of people?
What about tens of thousands of powerful crossbows?
It would be difficult for others to find the two of them, but Lu Xiaofeng firmly believed that she would be able to find one of them before the duel.
Because he has enough friends.
…
Daming Palace, Imperial Study Room.
Emperor Ming had a look of anger that could not be concealed on his face.
"That's unreasonable! Where do they think my Forbidden City is? We have a duel here and tell the world about it?"
"Wei Ziyun, you are the commander of the Jinwu Guards. Can this matter be resolved?"
Wei Ziyun lowered his head: "Your Majesty, I will ask all the Jinwu Guards to stand ready to guard the palace and protect your Majesty's safety."
The Emperor of Ming Dynasty was obviously not satisfied with this answer, which meant that Wei Ziyun could not stop this!
Yesterday, Ye Gucheng came outside the palace and struck a sword, causing the palace wall to almost collapse. If such a person is not dealt with, will the court and the royal family still have dignity?
Emperor Ming waved his hand irritably: "Get out, get out!"
Wei Ziyun felt like he was being pardoned and quickly left the imperial study.
He wanted to take care of it, but he also had to have the ability.
Yesterday, Ye Gucheng's sword was a demonstration, telling them not to stop them, otherwise they would die under Ye Gucheng's sword.
He didn't know if Ye Gucheng could kill everyone in Jinwu Guard, but if he wanted to kill him, all he needed was one sword.
"It seems that this matter can only be left to Commander Lin to resolve." Wei Ziyun sighed. He, the commander of the Jinwu Guard, was too frustrated. Who made him weak?
In the imperial study, the Ming Emperor looked at the old eunuch who came out from behind the screen: "Zhang Banban, Ye Gucheng, can you stop me?"
The old eunuch shook his head: "Your Majesty, Ye Gucheng is already in the realm of heaven and man. His sword skills are unpredictable, and this old slave is no match for him."
Even though he had used so many resources from the royal family, used some secret techniques to forcibly improve his strength, and even pushed that skill to a whole new level, he still had no chance of winning against Ye Gucheng's sword...
Maybe he gave up his life and had a chance to hurt Ye Gucheng.
"Can Lin Lang beat Ye Gucheng?"
The old eunuch still shook his head: "I don't know. I can't see through Master Lin either, or I have never seen through him."
Nowadays, the factory supervisors of the East Factory and the West Factory have not yet been appointed. Many matters in the two factories are handled by the old eunuch. He seems to have discovered a secret from some information from the West Factory.
Although there is no evidence, if it is true, it would be terrible.
Emperor Ming was relieved when he heard this. He hoped that Lin Lang could defeat Ye Gucheng, so that he could save the face of the court and the royal family.
After a while, Lin Lang followed the order and came to the imperial study room.
"Lin Qing's family, can you defeat Ye Gucheng?" Emperor Ming asked impatiently.
"I don't know, I haven't fought before." Lin Lang actually thought that his chances of winning would be higher, after all, his horizontal martial arts skills had improved.
Moreover, he also has Yitian Sword to enhance his strength and other hidden skills. His trump cards are far more than Ye Gucheng's.
When he came to the palace, he also saw the sword mark on the palace wall, and felt a thunderous sword intent from it, which seemed unstoppable.
This sword intention was very strong, it was the strongest sword intention he had ever seen, stronger than Ximen Chuixue's sword intention he had experienced before.
But he is stronger than when he competed with Ximen Chuixue.
Emperor Ming finally heard a different answer, and a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face: "Can you stop him? What about Ximen Chuixue?"
Lin Lang still answered that he didn't know.
He didn't see Ximen Chuixue, so he didn't know to what extent Ximen Chuixue's strength had recovered, whether he had cracked the Sword of Love or even improved to a higher level.
"Lin Lang, if you can stop them, I will reward you heavily!"
Lin Lang was no longer interested in the huge rewards mentioned by the Ming Emperor, an emperor who only knew how to draw cakes.
It's better to get what he wants with his own hands.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to stop them. After their duel, one of them will die, and the surviving ones will also be injured."
"There is a folk saying that when two tigers fight, one of them will be injured. But in fact, both tigers are often injured, and the one who ultimately benefits is the hunter who stands by and watches."
"Even if the two tigers fight at the hunter's house, the hunter will not stop them. After they decide the winner, the hunter will keep both tigers, which can not only make up for the loss of the family, but also make a fortune.
