Chapter Twenty-Seven: Borrowing Money, Betting
Hearing Yu Zhen's words, Qu Fatsan and I glanced at each other.
It's time to come after all.
I took a deep breath and said okay, you let him wait, I'll wash my face and go over.
Five minutes later, I walked out of the yard, and the guy who had cut off my arm before was tied to his injured hand, looking at me with a malicious face, and said Little white face, you have the courage to not run?
I touched my face and said, uh, can I be called a little white face like this?
Gu Li was so angry that I rolled his eyes, and said nonsense, let's go straight over.
Qu Fatsan and I walked out, Lao Peng stopped me, and said Brother Lu, what's the situation, why did you go out for a meal and cause so much trouble, and you duel with someone?
I pointed to Qu Fatsan next to me and said that this guy is a troublemaker, as long as he is with him, things are indispensable.
Qu Fatsan called Qu and said that you don't blame me, didn't you provoke this?
Lao Peng saw the two of us arguing, but he was not depressed, and hurriedly asked, "What's going on?" ”
I said it's okay, so I'm going to have a martial arts competition.
Lao Peng said, then how did I hear that man say that you are dead?
I twisted my fists, clicked, and said who is dead and who is alive, it is not certain, how can Lao Peng, are you interested in going over to point out a thing or two?
Lao Peng looked sad and said Can I not go? Waiting here, I guess I'm going to die in a hurry.
Feather Marks said I'll go too.
I glared at her and said no, you are here to accompany Lin Xi, and you are not allowed to run around.
Yu Zhen was so aggrieved that he wanted to cry, but Lin Xi next to him persuaded him, saying that I am all right, you can go, in this place, who will come to provoke me?
I still don't agree, Yu Zhen and Lin Xi are good at talking, so I will give up.
The four of us followed Naguli to the Colosseum, which is near the east gate of the dock community and is a place dedicated to resolving disputes on Penglai Island.
I have communicated with Ma Yuanchao before, and I learned that although Penglai Island has conventions and customs, and there are patrol battalions that specialize in maintaining rules, but after all, it is a land of rivers and lakes, and it is definitely impossible to cover everything, if both sides cannot coordinate, then there is only one way.
That's a duel of life and death, speaking with fists, whoever loses, what should be done.
The Colosseum is a place dedicated to the settlement of disputes.
When Lao Peng's father and daughter learned that what we were doing was a life-and-death fight, they immediately worried about it, but Qu Fatsan and I seemed very relaxed, all the way over, and they actually had the heart to look around and look at the prosperity along the way.
Penglai Island in the East China Sea is a holy place for cultivation, but not everyone can practice, along the way, there are indeed many masters, but ordinary people are still the majority.
In addition to people, I was able to see some strange-looking guys, but they weren't human.
It's supposed to be a demon, right?
To tell the truth, the prosperity of Penglai Island in the East China Sea surprised me very much, as if I had walked through the folk street of the tourist attractions in China, there were lively crowds and shops everywhere, and the things sold in it were very special, swords, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks, as well as all kinds of magic weapons, talismans, cheats, medicinal materials, pills, refining materials...... It's all varied, and it's dizzying.
In addition, there are many kinds of daily necessities, and the clothes alone include hanfu and normal modern clothes, so the juxtaposition is very interesting.
The Colosseum is one of the more iconic buildings in the area around the East Gate, a bit like a miniature version of the Colosseum.
When we arrived, Prince Namagee had already arrived.
In addition to himself, he also had a large group of entourages around him, and I don't know if it was specially publicized, or who leaked the news, but there were actually three or five hundred people around the gladiatorial arena.
For a while, it was crowded with people, and it was very lively.
I thought it would be done quietly, but I didn't expect the other party to put on such a big formation.
But now I am no longer Wuxia Ameng, I have seen too much of the world, and I can't have any timidity, so I walked up to me with a loud voice, and Prince Maggie greeted me, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to really come?" ”
I said that the so-called man, a spit and a nail, said that it has to be done.
Prince Maggie said that you are listening to rampant, don't talk nonsense, hurry up and sign the certificate of life and death, and then send it to death, I have something to do in a while, and I don't have time to spend it with you all the time.
I said that the villain takes revenge, from morning to night, are you still in a hurry?
Prince Maggie said don't take advantage of me here, and I don't bother to bother with you, so hurry up......
He urged next to him, and the audience next to him also coaxed, saying hurry up, we are all in a hurry, just waiting for the results of your victory and defeat to come out, so that the dishes can be opened.
As soon as I heard it, I said, "Oh, there's a gambling game?"
Prince Maggie laughed and said that it is common for duels to be wagered in the Colosseum, but I'm sorry to tell you one thing, the casino offers you very high odds, and if you win, it's five to one - look, how little confidence you have in it to have such high odds?
At this time, I hurriedly turned around and looked at Qu Fatsan, and the kid was also full of stars, looking impatient.
One to five, this is simply an opportunity to make a lot of money.
It's a pity......
We don't have a single colored shell in our pockets.
The two of us looked regretful, and Prince Maggie urged me hard, I had no choice but to sign the life and death certificate, and at this moment, suddenly someone shouted: "Lu Yan, don't sign it." ”
I heard it, turned my head over, and saw Luo Xiaobei hurrying over.
Luo Xiaobei's appearance should have surprised Prince Maggie, he stepped forward and said Xiaobei girl, why are you here?
Luo Xiaobeili ignored him, but walked directly to me, glared at me and said, "Lu Yan, are you in the water in your brain?" As soon as he came, he caused trouble, and he came to the gladiatorial arena? ”
I was scolded by her, touched my nose and said, "I don't want to either, it's just that this Prince Maggie is too domineering." ”
Prince Maggie interjected again at this time, saying Xiaobei girl, do you know each other?
Luo Xiaobei looked at him angrily, and said Yes, of course I know, Maggie, you will cancel this Rausch duel immediately, now, immediately, immediately!
Her tone was very resolute, there was a sense of order, Prince Maggie, who had been arrogant and domineering since childhood, immediately couldn't stand it anymore, and said with a smile: "The life and death have been signed, the duel is timely and effective, where can it be canceled?" Besides, so many people came, I said I wouldn't fight, and people didn't agree? ”
As soon as Luo Xiaobei heard this, his words changed, and he immediately said softly, saying Maggie, you should do me a favor, don't fight, okay?
Prince Maggie saw that she, who had always been proud, was even more upset when she made a compromise for me, and sneered, saying that it is not impossible, as long as this kid kneels down to apologize to me, and then rolls me out of Penglai Island, this matter will be over.
Luo Xiaobei looked at me, and I shook my head and said impossible.
She glared at me, stepped forward, and whispered in my ear: "Lu Yan, don't think that you can be arrogant if you kill the female demon in the wasteland, it is all done with the help of others, and you are just the final word; This Prince Maggie is different, he has been a cultivation genius since he was a child, and he has been taught by the Great Elder of Penglai Island, in terms of strength, you are not his opponent at all. ”
I said no, I won't know until I got into a fight.
She looked at me with hatred, and said that you speak lightly, but what if you die?
In my peripheral vision, I saw that Prince Maggie's eyes were particularly unkind, obviously motivated by murderous intentions, and the voices of the audience next to me became stronger and stronger, constantly urging, so I didn't talk to her more, but said, "By the way, can you help me?" ”
Luo Xiaobei saw that I was unrepentant, and said angrily: "What are you doing? ”
I said, can you lend me some money?
Luo Xiaobei glared at me and said You are about to die, and you still want to borrow money?
I said who would have thought that Penglai Island in the East China Sea was so materialistic, there was no money in hand, and after three days, we had nowhere to go - don't talk nonsense, just say whether you can borrow or not?
Luo Xiaobei looked at me hatefully, how much?
I said that you can give as much as you want, three melons and two dates are not less, and tens of thousands of diamond shells are not too much......
Luo Xiaobei took out a sachet from his waist and threw it in my hand, saying that there are more than 20 diamond shellfish here, and I will send you to the end!
I wiped, in the end, Bai Fumei, who actually brought so much money with him?
She said angrily, but I took it with a smile, and then threw it to Qu Fatsan, saying that while it hasn't closed yet, hurry up and place a bet, I'll wait for you, and we'll start fighting when it's over.
Qu Fatsan got the money, his eyebrows narrowed with joy, and he said with a smile Okay, okay, you just have to work.
Luo Xiaobei was so angry with the two of us that he pinched his waist and felt uncomfortable, while after I signed the life and death certificate, I came to the gladiatorial arena under the guidance of an old man with a serious face.
It is a stone platform about the size of a basketball court, surrounded by stands that rise one after another, and everywhere around, there are fluctuations in the field.
It was a magic circle to prevent both sides of the fight from hurting the audience.
Everything was done very professionally, and the host led us into the arena and then began to explain the rules of the gladiatorial arena.
Because this is a life-and-death duel, there is no limit to all means in principle, and the only requirement is not to maliciously harm innocent spectators on the sidelines.
The end of the game is when one of the players dies, falls, or admits defeat.
After the referee finished speaking, he asked us if we were ready.
I looked at Qu Fatsan in the stands, and saw that he raised two fingers, so he nodded and said I was fine.
Prince Maggie smiled coldly and said that I was also well early.
The referee retreated to the sidelines, then picked up a stick and struck it hard at the gong next to him.
Clang!
The duel began.
