"Thank you Mr. Guang for the compliment. Zhiqian is very talented and has little knowledge. She can't be compared to... ah... um..."
Xu Zhiqian sat on the chair and thanked Guang Hanxuan modestly and politely. However, before she could finish her words, Zhou Xingyun suddenly grabbed a bunch of her hair and pulled her back. Then he lowered his head in front of everyone and kissed her happily.
"The scent of peonies." Zhou Xingyun said with a wicked smile, while Xu Zhiqian was charming and gently pushed him away with her hands: "Senior Brother Xingyun is not a good thing."
"Zhiqian, you are my wife, and I don't allow you to talk to strange men." Zhou Xingyun said proudly, curling Xu Zhiqian's single ponytail with his fingers and looking at Guang Hanxuan.
"Beast!" Qin Shou, Li Xiaofan, Guo Heng and several other animals spat at Zhou Xingyun like a reflex.
Guang Hanxuan witnessed Zhou Xingyun kissing Xu Zhiqian and showing off his ownership of the beautiful woman. He was very angry but could do nothing about it. Finally, when Guang Hanxuan saw that Xu Zhiqian obeyed Zhou Xingyun's instructions and stopped talking to him, he snorted heavily and replied.
Go to the Seven Little League camp.
"My folding fan inlaid with gold and jade is worth at least 700 taels of silver. Will the banker accept it?" Duan Zhengqin saw Guang Han coming back in anger. He couldn't help but step forward and planned to increase the bet, which would definitely make Zhou Xingyun bankrupt.
Xu Zhiqian obeyed Zhou Xingyun's instructions not to talk to strange men. Faced with Duan Zhengqin's questioning, the little cute creature opened her cute eyes without saying a word, looking at Zhou Xingyun who had a hand on her shoulder, asking for his opinion with her eyes.
.
"Accepted! It will be calculated as seven hundred taels of silver." Zhou Xingyun nodded, and with a stroke of his pen, Xu Zhiqian issued a receipt to Duan Zhengqin.
"My jade pendant can be exchanged for at least five hundred taels of silver at the pawn shop. Do you still dare to accept it now?" Luo Chengwu took off the round jade from his waist, padded it in his hands, and threw it to Zhou Xingyun.
"Why don't you dare? Zhiqian, it's calculated as five hundred taels of silver." Zhou Xingyun saw Luo Chengwu throwing the jade pendant to him very freely. For a moment, Zhou Xingyun didn't want to reach out to catch the jade pendant, so that the jade pendant would fall to the ground. Anyway, Luo Chengwu threw it himself.
It has nothing to do with him if something breaks...
However, Zhou Xingyun finally caught the jade pendant because it was his property!
The Seven Young Masters of Jiangnan took the lead in placing bets, and the warriors who were watching were all excited...
The Seven Young Masters of Jiangnan made a lot of money, including gold ingots, precious fans, and beautiful jade, totaling thirty taels of gold ingots and one thousand two hundred taels of silver. They pushed Lu Jia all-in to win, which is enough to show that they have a sure chance of victory.
If Lu Jia wins, according to the odds of 1 to 10, Jiangnan Qishao will receive 300 taels of gold ingots and 12,000 taels of silver.
At the current market price, the gold-silver exchange ratio is 1:60. One tael of gold is equivalent to 60 taels of silver. Twelve thousand taels of silver is exactly two hundred taels of gold.
The Seven Young Masters of Jiangnan had obviously made a plan. Zhou Xingyun had exactly five hundred taels of gold ingots in his hand. For both parties, it was just like, 'If you win, take it all! If you lose, you will get nothing!'.
The advantage of Jiangnan Seven Young Masters doing this is that as long as they win, they can not only take away Zhou Xingyun's money, but also force him to go into debt. Because there must be more than just Jiangnan Seven Young Masters placing bets.
If Lu Jia wins, Zhou Xingyun's five hundred taels of gold will just be paid to Jiangnan Seventh Young Master, and the remaining debt... is the huge debt he owes to the martial arts warriors.
Nangong Ling once defeated Tai Shihe in the ring, so the warriors watching in the 50-win competition area were very cautious and did not dare to say that the people from Lujiazhuang would definitely win. However, after seeing the Seven Young Masters of Jiangnan betting heavily, the onlookers
Jianghu warriors are becoming more and more confident...
1 to 10 odds
Ah! If you win, you will make a lot of money! Moreover, Nangong Ling’s opponent is the swordsman of Lujiazhuang, so the chance of winning is really not small! Can wealth be obtained through danger? No, this is called reasonable investment!
After the Seven Young Masters of Jiangnan placed their bets, regardless of the warriors from the Seven Young Masters League or the onlookers who came to the 50-win competition area, they all rushed to Xu Zhiqian to place their bets with the mentality of making small bets and making big profits.
To be honest, none of the Jianghu warriors who came to Baiguoshan for training were big bettors. Their bets were very conservative, ranging from a few pieces of silver to a few copper plates. Except for the Seven Young Masters of Jiangnan, no one would be like this.
Yu Wushuang was so bold that he lost everything in his enthusiasm and poured hundreds of taels of silver into the gambling market.
However, broken silver and copper coins can also add up to a lot!
Zhou Xingyun visually inspected Xu Zhiqian's table and saw a box full of broken silver and copper coins. He must have made a lot of money in Baiguoshan recently.
Having said that, Zhou Xingyun really admired Xu Zhiqian's accounting skills. The martial arts warrior poured out the broken silver and copper coins. The little cute thing judged the amount at a glance, wrote the corresponding amount and name on the paper, and then handed it back to the other party.
If Lu Jia wins the ring battle, Zhou Xingyun will multiply the amount recorded on the paper by ten and compensate the opponent.
Xu Zhiqian's handwriting is very beautiful, so there is no need to worry about being copied. In other words, if someone can copy Xu Zhiqian's handwriting, Zhou Xingyun is willing to pay for it.
Of course, all this must be based on Lu Jia's victory over Nangong Ling in the ring...
Half an hour passed, and everything that needed to be done was done. Next, it was time to decide the outcome with a real sword...
Nangong Ling and Lu Jia re-entered the ring and faced off against each other.
Although it took a lot of time, the martial arts warriors in the 50-win division are still in full swing, and everyone's enthusiasm for the ring battle has not diminished but increased.
After all, 90% of the onlookers at the scene have more or less placed bets on this arena battle, even if they just want to bet 1 cent for fun...it doesn't matter if they lose, if they win, they will make money.
!
"It's really frustrating..." Elder Shao of Shuixian Pavilion sighed sincerely after witnessing the 50 wins. Unexpectedly, Zhou Xingyun had to wait for more than half an hour to start a simple arena match.
.
"Yes, the long-awaited competition is finally about to begin." Master Gu Mo of the Leshan Sect nodded in agreement. He and Elder Shao went to the 50-win competition area early to watch, but the results did not start until now.
"Ever since I met that kid, I haven't seen him calm down." Wan Dingtian complained speechlessly. Zhou Xingyun is a complete troublemaker. One day he is at home, his skin is itchy, two days he is building tiles in the house, and three days he is out on the street.
He was in a state of turmoil, visiting people for four days and beating others, and for five, six, seven or eight days, he had to make some noise every day to feel comfortable.
"But having said that, there are really a lot of people paying attention to the ring battle." Yu Xingzi and his wife looked around the hills around the 50-win competition area. The deacons from various sects stationed in Baiguo Mountain almost came after hearing the news and gathered around to watch.
The Seven Young Masters of Jiangnan fought secretly with Jianshu Prodigal and his group.
At this time, the number of warriors watching in the 50-win competition area was more than three times that when Zhou Xingyun and others arrived. All the disciples from various sects stationed in the base camp came to join in the fun.
For example, the disciples of Dong Weibao who participated in the small test for the selection of members of the Wulin League a while ago. They only came to apply for membership in the Wulin League and did not intend to participate in the World Heroes Martial Arts Conference. However, after learning about the situation in the 50-win arena area, everyone came here
Watching the excitement.
In short, including the disciples of Jianshu Villa, Jiang Chen, Uncle He Taishi, Tang Yanzhong and his wife, etc., were all on the other side of the hillside.
Go up and watch.
Lujiazhuang is one of the seven major martial arts families in the south of the Yangtze River. As Lu Jia said before, Lujiazhuang's swordsmanship is famous in the world and attracts the attention of martial arts alliance warriors.
Today, Lu Jia is going to compete with Nangong Ling in the ring. Warriors from all sects want to take this opportunity to observe the handed down swordsmanship of Lujiazhuang.
As a result, the hills and slopes surrounding the 50-win competition area are filled with martial arts masters from all over the world.
"Lu Jia, come here..."
"What are your orders from Master Guan?" Lu Jia curiously came to the side of Guanjiabao Young Master Guan Weiying.
"Take this thing carefully. It can help you when necessary." Guan Weiying secretly handed a bamboo gun to Lu Jia. This is a poison-quenching hidden weapon made by Guanjiabao. It is a life-threatening weapon that seals the throat when blood is seen.
"No need, I can't lose to that woman." Lu Jia understood what Guan Weiying meant, that is, no matter what, even if he uses despicable means, he must win the ring battle. But... he can't lose to that woman with a sword.
Nangong Ling, the young master of the Guan family is so worried.
"We ask you to take it, so you do it. Today's arena battle is extraordinary. The people who come to watch us are not only the warriors in the arena competition area, but also the children of all kinds of factions. You have to perform well,
Don't lose the face of Lujiazhuang!" Lu Yu sternly warned Lu Jia that the development of the matter was a bit beyond his expectation, and he did not expect that it would attract so many people to watch.
The issues that Lu Yu is considering now are no longer simple things like winning money from gambling, or making Nangong Ling become a slave girl in Lujiazhuang after defeat...
Lu Yu told Lu Jia with a stern face that he could only win this battle and not lose. Even if he used powerful martial arts and killed Nangong Ling by mistake, he still had to win the ring battle.
After all, deacons and elders from all the rivers and lakes came to watch today's arena battle. Nangong Ling and Lu Jia, two swordsmen, competed, which involved the reputation and prestige of Lujiazhuang!
If Lu Jia and Nangong Ling fail in their sword fight, Lujiazhuang will lose all face.
"Yes! Master!" Lu Jia saluted Lu Yu with fists at the edge of the ring, and then strode into the arena. In front of everyone, he shouted confidently and declared victory: "Dear friends from all over the country, I am very happy today.
It is an honor to be able to present a wonderful competition for everyone. At this moment, I hereby declare that within one stick of incense, I will definitely deliver victory to Lujiazhuang!"
After that, Lu Jia faced Nangong Ling again...
"Miss Nangong, I originally planned to let you have a few moves first, but it's a pity. The situation has changed, and I must go all out to show you the real sword skills!" Lu Jia pulled out the Huanshou sword gracefully and held it in his left hand.
The scabbard, the sword in the right hand points to Gong Ling.
The Huanshou knife is long and straight, with a ring handle, a narrow blade, a long blade, and a straight back. It is very similar to a long sword. The difference is that a long sword has a double edge, while a Huanshou knife has only a single edge and a thicker blade.
, tougher than ordinary long swords.
The Tang Yi Dao used by Miss Wu Changhua, the Tang Heng Dao used by Zheng Chengxue, and the Tang Mo Dao used by Han Shuang all seemed to be modified from the Huanshou Dao as a template, and all have straight blades.
There are four types of Tang Dao: Yi Dao, Zhan Dao, Heng Dao and Mo Dao.
Yi Dao: A ceremonial knife, similar to the Huanshou Dao, with many carvings and gorgeous appearance.
Barrier knife: a short sword for protection, portable and light.
Mo Dao: The long handle is more than 40cm, and the blade length varies from m to m. It is similar to a chopping sword. It is suitable for wide opening and closing.
