The central square of Zhaowucheng is crowded and bustling.
Today is the day for the gambling battle between Zhao Li, the head of the Zhao family, and Han Shichang, the head of the Han family, and the bet is on the Zhao family's wharf and the scattered wharfs of the Han family.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Han family has obviously taken a huge advantage.
Not to mention that Han Shichang has broken through and become a seventh-level Martial Emperor, and is much stronger than Zhao Li. There is no comparison between the two sides' bets.
Zhao's Wharf is the largest wharf in Jiang Shenyu, and its annual profits are very huge, more than ten times more than the Han family's scattered wharfs combined.
It is unfair for the Han family to use those dilapidated small wharves as bargaining chips to gamble with Zhao's wharf.
In addition, Han Shichang was promoted to the seventh-level Martial Emperor, and Zhao Li, who was challenging Zhao Li, was only at the peak of the sixth-level Martial Emperor. This was obviously bullying the small, using the strong to bully the weak. Many people present were quite disdainful.
Of course, the ones who are more angry should be the warriors of Zhao Wucheng. The Zhao family and Zhao Wucheng are of the same origin, and the Zhao family dock is closely related to the interests of many forces in Zhao Wucheng.
Therefore, now that Han Shichang wants to touch the cake of Zhao's Wharf, many people present are angry in their hearts, but they dare not speak out.
They all understood that Han Shichang was already a seventh-level Martial Emperor, extremely powerful, and with the support of the Jiang family behind him, their opposition was useless.
Didn't you see that the Zhao family could only accept this unreasonable gambling fight?
Around the central square, there are temporary high platforms standing. On each high platform, there are teams of aristocratic families from other areas of the Jiang Shen Territory, including the Wang family and the Yan family.
At this moment, on the high platform, most of the teams from the aristocratic families have arrived, leaving only the teams from the Zhao family and the Han family.
"Brother Zhaoyang! Last night I saw that the head of the Zhao family looked calm and composed. Could it be that he has some unknown means in today's gambling match that can give him a chance of winning?"
The high platforms of the Yan family and the Wang family were close to each other. Yan Le, who was sitting at the front of the high platform, couldn't help but say to Wang Zhaoyang, who was not far away.
Wang Zhaoyang shook his head and said: "Perhaps it is the Zhao family leader who is powerful and powerful, right?
It’s not like you don’t know how strong the seventh-level Martial Emperor is, but if the Zhao family leader fails to break through, he won’t be Han Shichang’s opponent!”
Hearing this, Yan Le nodded in agreement and said with emotion: "The rise of the Han family is promising. With the Zhao's Pier and the support of the Jiang family, it won't take long for the Han family to surpass any first-class family.
It will overwhelm us!"
Wang Zhaoyang also showed a look of helplessness and said: "As long as the Han family does not target you and my family, thank God. There is nothing we can do to suppress us. We can only accept our fate!"
Yan Le nodded and raised his head to look at the sky if he was aware of it. He saw a figure from there like a black lightning streaking across.
In the blink of an eye, this figure appeared above the square, attracting everyone's attention.
This figure was a slender, middle-aged man wearing a platinum-woven robe. He had a goatee on his lips and exuded an elegant and indifferent temperament.
"I didn't expect that the Jiang family would send Jiang Ren this time! This is a genius among the three generations of the Jiang family!"
Wang Zhaoyang's eyes narrowed, staring at the middle-aged man in the sky, with a trace of surprise still on his face.
Jiang Ren is very famous in the Jiang family, and he became famous at a young age. It is said that he became a Martial Emperor in his twenties, an intermediate Martial Emperor in his thirties, and a high-level Martial Emperor in his fifties.
It can be said that Jiang Ren is considered very young among the Martial Emperors. He is only around 60 years old now, and his cultivation has reached the peak of the seventh-level Martial Emperor, and his combat power is unparalleled.
Jiang Ren seems to have an elegant temperament, but his eyes are as sharp as blades, making people afraid to look directly at them.
"I've met Master Jiang Ren!"
When Jiang Ren slowly landed in the square, Wang Zhaoyang of the Wang family immediately stood up and bowed, followed closely by Yan Le.
"I've met Master Jiang Ren!"
"I've met Master Jiang Ren!"
"..." On the high platforms around the square, many heads of aristocratic families also stood up and saluted Jiang Ren respectfully.
Jiang Ren nodded slightly, looked around and said, "Aren't Han Shichang of the Han family and Zhao Li of the Zhao family here yet?"
"Yes, they must be on the way!"
Yan Le said respectfully.
Jiang Ren frowned slightly, a trace of displeasure flashed between his brows, and said: "That's all, just wait for them!"
With that said, Jiang Ren rushed to the high platform in the center of the square.
Compared with other high platforms, this high platform can be said to stand out. Standing on it, you can just overlook the entire square and other high platforms.
As soon as Jiang Ren sat on the high platform in the center, everyone else could only look up at him, while he sat there with his eyes closed and meditative.
Many family heads present wanted to come forward to flatter him, but seeing Jiang Ren's attitude, they were too timid to do so.
After a while, the Zhao family and Han family teams arrived one after another.
The heads of the two families, Zhao Li and Han Shichang, naturally saw Jiang Ren, who was aloof from above. They both bowed and bowed with respect on their faces.
Jiang Ren nodded to the two family heads and said: "Take your seats first. When noon arrives, I will set up the imperial formation in the square. Then you two will go on stage to fight! Of course, as soon as you go on stage,
Before the battle, you need to hand over your bets!"
"yes!"
Han Shichang readily agreed, took out five land deeds, handed them to Jiang Ren, and said: "Sir Jiang Ren, these are the land deeds for the five docks of my Han family in the East China Sea. They are all here. Look.
look."
Jiang Ren took the five land deeds, checked them, and nodded: "That's right!"
With that said, Jiang Ren looked at Zhao Li and said calmly: "Master Zhao, it's your turn! Please also hand over the title deed of your Zhao's Wharf!"
Zhao Li sighed softly and reluctantly handed over the title deed of Zhao's Wharf to Jiang Ren.
The Zhao family members behind Zhao Li clenched their fists involuntarily. Mu Feng, who was in the team, could also clearly feel the frustration and anger in everyone's hearts.
"Brother Mu! The Han family has given five piers, but our Zhao family only has one pier. Why does dad keep saying that our Zhao family suffered a big loss in this gambling fight?"
Next to Mu Feng, Zhao Su'er looked innocent and asked Mu Feng in confusion.
Mu Feng touched Zhao Su'er's little head and said, "Because your Zhao family's Zhao family's wharf is worth dozens of Han family's wharves, do you think it's your Zhao family's loss?"
Zhao Su'er then showed a look that seemed to understand. She was still young and actually knew little about this gambling dispute.
"Okay! As expected of the head of the Zhao family, he acted decisively. This land deed is genuine and guaranteed to be the Zhao's Wharf!"
The corners of Jiang Ren's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a hint of a smile.
Han Shichang also had a smile on his face. He knew that Jiang Ren meant what he said to him.
