Seeing the way the noble princes of Da Zhou looked at the second prince, Shang Qiu realized that they had regarded this unattractive guy as an imaginary enemy, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: a group of pitiful people, they have to deal with an even more pitiful person. people.
So, who will take advantage in the end?
She used her peripheral vision to look at Zhao Zongyang, who was standing aside as if nothing had happened. He still had such a calm expression, as if he didn't care about anything. But based on Shangqiu's understanding of Zhao Zongyang, this guy might not be as indifferent as he appears on the surface.
These Zhou nobles keep saying "Kaiyuan pigs". Just because of this, Zhao Zongyang cannot let them pass easily. If they don't pay a price, they can't even think of walking out of this door.
Although this guy talks about the shortcomings of Kaiyuan all day long, this is precisely because he is a person who really takes Kaiyuan into his heart. He mourns its misfortune, is angry about it, and tries every means to change it. This kind of people are far more valuable than those dignitaries who sing praises all day long and wish they were mad, but disappear without a trace when the country is in crisis, or even betray the country.
What is the pillar of the country? Is it to sing praises or to give outright advice? A country is sick if those who praise it are more popular and mainstream than those who criticize it. If those who criticize have no place to live, then this country will be seriously ill.
Now Kaiyuan is obviously on the verge of collapse. Others didn't know it, but Shangqiu knew very well that the nobles in the capital had secretly arranged a way out, and many people's properties were lost. They have all been transferred; logically speaking, this should be Zhao Zongyang's best choice. Anyway, he has nothing to miss in Kaiyuan. With his status and financial resources, if he goes to Tianluo, he doesn't know how happy he will be.
But Zhao Zongyang gave up a life of enjoyment and chose such a rough and difficult road. It¡¯s time to reach this point. He has not completely given up on the Kaiyuan Kingdom, and is still thinking of making a last-ditch effort? For this last bit of hope. He put the entire burden on his shoulders.
"If you want to bet, bet bigger, five thousand taels plus one bet. How about it?" The young man in white said proudly, and as soon as he finished speaking, everyone present took a breath.
It¡¯s such a great time to play!
The second prince was also stunned in disbelief, but his feelings were completely different: What, a mere five thousand taels is called a big bet? The people of Zhou Dynasty are so poor! It's not like our Kaiyuan City, where the princes spend money like water without blinking an eye; look at the noble princes like Da Zhou. Even gambling is so stingy. If it were left in Gu's original Jujin Building, these people would have no choice but to struggle below the seventh floor, and there would be no way to go up to the eighth floor.
When he thought of this, the second prince felt a little proud.
"It's only five thousand taels. It's nothing. It's too small to make a fuss. How about we increase it to ten thousand." The second prince's tone was very arrogant. He wanted to take out the banknotes from his pocket and put these The pauper was slapped hard in the face,
But when he touched his pocket, he suddenly realized: all the money had been given to Zhao Zongyang. My situation is very bad now. Now I only have a measly 10,000 taels of banknotes I carry with me.
Although ten thousand taels sounds scary, even according to the consumption standards of ordinary nobles, it is enough to last for eight lifetimes. But now this kind of "little fight" gambling can only last two rounds, which is really shameful.
The princes of Da Zhou felt very unhappy when they first heard the second prince's tone. At the same time, they also felt a little secretly happy: The enemy was here. Then when they saw the second prince taking out ten silver notes worth one thousand taels, he couldn't help but booed.
"Damn, this Kaiyuan Pig has enough momentum, but he finally showed this little?"
"Kaiyuan Pig has always been like this. He is very good with his words, but he is over as soon as he strikes. Didn't someone say that if he could win with his mouth, then Kaiyuan would have dominated the world long ago."
The most cruel and ruthless one is the young man in white sitting in the middle: "Damn, I'm even ready to take off my pants and pawn them, and you're just going to show me this?"
There was a burst of laughter, deafening, and the people of Zhou were laughing wantonly.
The second prince's face turned red and white. He glanced at Zhao Zongyang, a wealthy local man, and said softly: "Sit down and play together. We brothers, we are going to work together to deal with these Zhou people today. As for the banknotes, let's start with If you withdraw some points to cope with it, it is actually just a decoration. With the level of the two of us brothers, how can we lose money?"
After saying that, he even blinked his eyes specially, and the meaning was very clear: the two of them need to do some "cooperation". He would never forget Zhao Zongyang's huge gamble at the Jujin Tower. At first, I didn¡¯t quite understand what was going on, but now as my cultivation level has improved by leaps and bounds, I can¡¯t figure out what is going on. ZhaoYang Yang was cheating with his cultivation.
He was well aware of Zhao Zongyang¡¯s level of cheating. As for his own cultivation, he is certainly more confident. As long as the two of them join forces, how can they kill these poor people in Zhou Dynasty to pieces?
"Hey, five thousand taels is too little, and I simply can't get interested. But there's nothing I can do if I meet you paupers, so I'll just make do with two." Zhao Zongyang stretched weakly and took out the money. I bought a lot of banknotes, all of which were of the largest denomination, ten thousand taels each. They were placed on the table, stacked high. A visual inspection showed that they were at least one million taels.
The young masters of Zhou Dynasty were stunned by such a generous act. Although the Great Zhou Dynasty has strong military force, it is relatively poor after all. Although it is still relatively wealthy in general, the gap between the rich and the poor has not widened. The wealth held by the top class cannot be compared with the top dignitaries of Kaiyuan. . Now when I look at the royal family of Kaiyuan, how can I not be shocked when they casually make a million taels?
Seeing the reaction of the people of Zhou Dynasty, the second prince began to feel proud again, and said shamelessly: "You think I really have no money. How can a person like me bring my own money when I go out? Leave it all to my clan brothers. "
Damn, this is a big enough score. The princes of Dazhou all cursed the second prince in their hearts, especially when they thought that this guy was here to steal Princess Dongye, they gritted their teeth even more.
They all winked at each other: This guy actually came here to show off, so there is no need to be polite to him. Let's all work together to win a game from this fool and don't leave any money behind!
This is how the gambling began.
Zhao Zongyang and the second prince were in an invincible state from the beginning, winning consecutive battles without any effort. On the other hand, the princes of Dazhou looked like they were trying their best, but they always acted like After playing the role of the money-giving boy for less than half an hour, everyone was speechless and completely lost their spirits.
"Haha, aren't you very powerful? Are you saying that I can dominate the world with my words?" The second prince is a completely emotional person. When the casino is proud, he becomes light-headed and extremely aggressive: "Look in front of your table. I don¡¯t have many banknotes left. Isn¡¯t it embarrassing to have the nerve to come out to play even if you don¡¯t have any money?¡±
Zhao Zongyang shook his head gently: This second brother is really a real idiot. Doesn¡¯t he think there is something fishy? Although the people of Dazhou kept losing, they always placed the smallest bet. Why is it the smallest every time? The answer is already obvious. They are joining forces to make a trap and set you up!
"Second brother, don't get carried away, be careful of these guys being deceitful." Zhao Zongyang's warning was quite clever, especially "get carried away". With the temper of the second prince, even if he was well-mannered and got angry on the spot without being provoked, how could he accept it?
"Your courage is getting weaker and weaker. How many Zhou people have scared you to this point?" The second prince said loudly: "I'm not telling you. If a man wants to do great things, he must have great courage. What can a timid and suspicious person like you accomplish?"
Zhao Zongyang smiled slightly and said no more. This was the effect he wanted. He didn't want to really wake up the second prince. Trapping the Great Zhou and the Second Prince together was the biggest goal of his trip.
"Do you still have any money? If you don't have any money, get out of here." The second prince said domineeringly.
¡°You bastard, you are a Kaiyuan pig who doesn¡¯t know the heights of heaven and earth!¡±
¡°Everyone, give me all the remaining banknotes and let me bet with him for the last time!¡± The young man in white said angrily, as if his eyes were red after losing.
Haha, what a fool. I want others to give him money for free. Isn¡¯t this a dream? Don¡¯t you know that there are no fathers and sons in casinos? The second prince chuckled in his heart.
But after a moment, he couldn¡¯t laugh anymore: everyone in the casino actually gave all their banknotes to the young man in white.
It¡¯s hard to understand. Are these Zhou people all lunatics?
"One round will determine the outcome. The winner will take away all the money on the stage. The loser will not only lose the money, but also take off his clothes and run around the street. Do you dare?" The young man in white glared. Looking at the second prince, he shouted loudly.
"Tch, if you still want to run around naked, then I'll satisfy you." The second prince agreed without even thinking about it. He already knew the poor level of the Zhou people.
"What did you say?" The young man in white glanced at Zhao Zongyang again.
Zhao Zongyang spread his hands helplessly and said calmly: "Let me play with you casually, who will be the banker?"
"I'll come." The second prince winked at Zhao Zongyang, meaning: Don't worry, I will give you a hint.
The young man in white also nodded, as if he didn't care who rolled the dice.
?The second prince grabbed the dice, threw it into the dice tube, shook it casually, and placed it on the table. With his current strength, he doesn't need to do anything when rolling the dice. When others place their bets, he can change as he pleases when opening the dice tube.
The young man in white suppressed the "big", while Zhao Zongyang suppressed the "small". According to the rules, if there are exactly three three points, neither big nor small, then the banker wins.
The second prince smiled proudly: Hum hum, the people of Zhou Dynasty are just waiting to run naked, and so is Zhao Zongyang. This guy¡¯s reputation is too high, he should be embarrassed. It¡¯s time to show who is Kaiyuan¡¯s first brother. !
Just as he was about to open the dice cylinder, the young man in white suddenly said with great seriousness: "I'm going to say something ugly first, if anyone dares to do anything, don't even think about walking out of this door!"
