In the following days, the city of Hangzhou became more and more lively.
Swordsmen and martial arts masters from all over the world poured into the city one after another, some for the huge bounty, and some for Yang Mingliwan.
Whether they are looking for fame or profit, this ring will always have what they need.
It is officially held and hosted by Zhong Jinghou himself. It is said that even Da Song Daily will follow up and report on it. There are not many opportunities like this.
Once you perform well, you will gain both fame and fortune and become famous all over the world.
In the inn where Zhan Zhao and others gathered, everyone began to worry again because they did not have enough money to spend.
Jiang Ping couldn't help but complain:
"With one tael of silver a day, Mr. Cao Hou is indeed a little god of wealth, Ma De, he can think of all kinds of ways."
"I'm afraid that one hundred thousand guan can be earned from us without waiting for the end of the arena."
Han Zhang, the gopher mouse, nodded in agreement and said:
"It's too expensive, mainly because there are too many people coming to help, and they have to take care of their families. There are hundreds of people, and it costs hundreds of taels a day."
As he said that, he looked at Zhan Zhao and said:
"We don't necessarily have to live here, why not find another inn..."
Zhan Zhao shook his head and said:
"This is an official partner inn. Living here not only provides top-notch food and accommodation, but you can also choose your own opponents and help promote your name in the ring."
"All my friends are here to help. Zhan cannot let them suffer."
Jiang Ping smiled bitterly and said:
"This is the cleverness of Lord Cao, he always makes you have to be harvested by him."
"There are also stall rentals around the ring, VIP stands, advertising and investment... I dare say that not only will he not lose money, but he will also take advantage of the opportunity to make a lot of money."
"I really don't know how he came up with so many terms and ways to make money."
Having said this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said:
"Why don't we also find some business sponsors?"
When everyone heard that he had a solution, they quickly asked for detailed ideas.
Jiang Ping gave it up and said proudly:
"You'll know tomorrow, please."
The next day, when everyone put on samurai uniforms with "XX Restaurant" and "XX Brewery" printed on them, they all fell silent.
The white-browed junior looked at his clothes and said with shame:
"Fourth uncle, isn't this too vulgar?"
Jiang Ping said with a bluster:
"What do you know? This is called win-win cooperation, the principle proposed by Mr. Cao Hou."
"You're not even allowed to take it off. Just wear this when you go into the ring. After all, we have received money and we must abide by the contract."
Everyone was quite speechless. Thinking of wearing such clothes in public, they felt extremely ashamed.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise on the street.
Jiang Ping opened the second-floor window facing the street and looked down. In front of the gambling house opposite, several people from the world were grabbed by a group of gambling gangs, shouting:
"Everyone, we can't cheat, right?"
"Admit your bet and admit defeat. Not only did you slander us as mischief-makers, but you also smashed our gambling house's belongings... This is an official cooperative unit."
The middle-aged leader ignored him and cursed:
"What the hell do I care about your cooperative unit? Do you know who we are? Do you want to die..."
Seeing these people, Shanxi Erjue behind Jiang Ping was so surprised that he said:
"These are people from Penglai Island in the East China Sea. I didn't expect them to come too."
Zhan Zhao frowned and said:
"No matter who they are, how can they cause trouble in the city? I will go and persuade them."
With that said, he was about to fly downstairs.
Others quickly grabbed him and said:
"Brother Zhan, don't be reckless. These people are not easy to mess with. This is one of the four kings of Penglai Island's wine, sex, wealth, and extremely high skills."
"And he is the leader of the side sect and the confidant of the best man in the world. We cannot afford to offend him."
Zhan Zhao frowned and was about to retort when Jiang Ping said quickly:
"Brother Zhan, don't worry. Isn't this Marquis Cao? If something happens to the gambling shop he cooperates with, he will definitely handle it well. Let's not get into trouble."
Just as he was talking, a battalion of patrol soldiers rushed over and shouted coldly:
"What's going on? Why are you arguing?"
After roughly understanding what happened, the city patrol leader said:
"Both of you, follow me back to the Yamen for adjustment..."
As he said this, he asked someone to take them back.
The gambling house guys were very cooperative, but the gangsters laughed and said:
"You really don't know how to live or die. You dare to arrest us? Do you know who we are?"
With that said, he jumped up and grabbed the heads of the city patrolmen, wanting to teach them a lesson.
Nadu Tou was not surprised when he saw this and shouted coldly:
"Someone is plotting rebellion, so prepare your crossbows."
When the Jianghu man saw countless arrows pointed at him, he was immediately horrified and roared:
"Be brave, I am the Four Heavenly Kings of Penglai Island, how dare you..."
Before he could finish speaking, countless arrows had been shot.
The man's martial arts skills were very good and he could actually twist his body and change direction in the air. However, even if he showed off his skill of lightening his body, it would be difficult for him to block the random arrows.
With a burst of popping noises, the man turned into a hedgehog in the blink of an eye.
When the other people saw this, they turned around and ran away in fright.
But Na Dutou didn't want to let them go, and fired his crossbow arrows randomly. In a short time, all of them were shot to death by random arrows.
Nadu looked at the corpses of several people and said "poof":
"Shit King, you deserve it!"
Everyone upstairs was sweating coldly when they saw it. Such a tall expert turned into a hedgehog in the blink of an eye. He was so worthless.
They couldn't help but feel that this incident had subverted their impression of the government.
I no longer dare to be proud of my martial arts.
But at this time in Liyuan, Cao Bin did not care too much about the arena, but listened to Shi Qian's report on Zhu Min's situation.
"Master Hou, there is news from the Bailian Society that Zhu Min's food has been robbed."
"It will be sent to Hangzhou soon. Do we want to receive it?"
Cao Bin smiled and nodded:
"Take it, not only do we have to pick it up, but we also have to take the initiative to leave evidence of our crime to Zhu Min."
"When he files a complaint, you take the initiative to express your disapproval and create the illusion that he has lost power."
As he spoke, he laughed and said:
"If we don't thoroughly clean up the officials and gentry in the two Zhejiang provinces this time, I'm really sorry that Zhu Min spent so much time."
Then, he asked:
"Is there any news from the capital?"
Shi Qian said:
"Returning to your Majesty, your Majesty's condition has been getting worse and worse recently, and he often misses the court."
"The court was also in chaos, and they were attacking each other, as if something big was going to happen."
As he spoke, he glanced at Cao Bin cautiously and said:
"In addition, I heard that Master Kou acted as a matchmaker and the eighth sister of the Yang family is getting engaged to Zhang Wen."
Seeing that Cao Bin was silent, Shi Qian tentatively said:
"Master Hou, do you want the brothers to secretly kidnap the eighth sister?"
Cao Bin said speechlessly:
"What are you robbing her for? Let her come and cause trouble for me?"
Shi Qian was stunned for a moment. Seeing that Cao Bin didn't want to say more, he quickly changed the topic and said:
"In addition, the Song-Liao negotiations have ended, and the chaos in the Liao Kingdom has gradually been suppressed."
Cao Bin said hurriedly:
"What conditions?"
