Soldiers in troubled times always live past today and never know tomorrow. They never know when or how they will die. Therefore, most soldiers are drunk one day and drunk the next, leaving no overnight wealth in their hands.
The life of ordinary soldiers is extremely boring and depressing. If you want to drink, you may not be able to buy it if you have the money. Moreover, most soldiers don't even have money for alcohol, not to mention that alcohol is prohibited in the army. It is unrealistic to find a young lady. The right time, place and money are indispensable. If you want to seize a civilian girl, you will lose half your life as long as you catch her. Therefore, the fun of the soldiers is concentrated on gambling, no matter how big or small, just for a good time.
Before and after the war, soldiers loved to get together and gamble. Spending all the money before the war would save the money after death. Gambling money after the war could ease the tight string.
But today, it was the first time that thousands of officers and soldiers gathered by the Qingtong River to bet money. It was even more unexpected that the leader of the group was Chang Yu, the admiral of the East Factory of the Ming Dynasty.
Originally, it was just that Tu Yuan was holding back his anger and wanted to vent his anger, but was instigated by Lao Jiu and Jia Waixiong to have a fight with the brothers Chen Suole and Chen Ruxin. However, it turned into a huge gamble, not only attracting the participation of thousands of soldiers. , even generals such as Xu Hongji and Wu Sangui were also interested.
"This is how we played in the palace back then." Chang Yu seemed very excited and said a casual sentence, which made Xu Hongji and others look at each other with different expressions. They still played like this in the palace...
Tu Yuan, the most valiant general of the Dongchang Guards, was tall and burly and had natural supernatural powers. He was invincible on the battlefield and had never been defeated.
Chen Suole, Chen Ruxin's brother, is the nephew of the great master Chen Wangting. He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. He has inherited his martial arts skills and is a first-class master in the world.
When they fight, who is stronger and who is weaker? Everyone is thinking in their hearts.
Ordinary soldiers could only follow the trend and place bets, while some generals and bigwigs such as Xu Hongji and Wu Sangui had to make insinuations to learn and write inside information. After all, the bets were not small.
However, the so-called inside information has no value. Tu Yuan is a fierce general, and the Chen brothers are martial arts masters. Each has its own legend and each has its own strength. If you want to know who is stronger, you have to fight to know.
Isn't this nonsense?
Then follow Feng Bet. The Taoist priest next to the little eunuch is resourceful and good at predicting fortune. He is very familiar with both parties. More importantly, this Taoist priest is greedy for money and stingy. If you are not sure, you can't bet again at will, so follow him and bet. That's right, but the little eunuch overpowered his own personal attendant, and the bet was a thousand taels!
It's no secret that the little eunuch is a master of martial arts. His personal attendants are usually his companions to hone his martial arts. No one knows who has the best martial arts skills better than him.
So...who the hell should I bet on...
Buy and leave.
After some deliberation, the onlookers made their own decisions and started placing bets. Naturally, the handicap was opened by Dongchang Wei, and Li Muxian had to be involved in it. From ordinary soldiers, one or two taels, to generals and big bosses, everyone got hundreds of taels. Eat, and soon the open space will be filled with white money.
As soon as the gongs and drums sounded over there, the competition began. Tu Yuan jumped into the arena shirtless and said mockingly: "You two brothers, come together." If you are an ordinary person, you will be furious, but people who practice Tai Chi are very good at cultivating qi. The two brothers They were not worried but it was impossible to join forces to end the situation. After a few low-pitched discussions, Chen Suole took the lead in exiting.
"Duke, you really have money and no place to spend it, or are you just deliberately using a thousand taels of silver to buy something for fun?" Wu Zhong squatted next to Chang Yu and muttered in a low voice.
Chang Yu let out a laugh, and when he saw that no one was paying attention to the fight, he turned his head and whispered to Wuzhong: "Those two brothers are the governor's personal attendants. What would you do if it were you?"
Hey, Wuzhong nodded and sighed slightly: "It doesn't matter, the governor is not short of money anyway."
"Do you think Tu Yuan is sure to win?" Chang Yu half-smiled, but Wuzhong's eyes were very confused: "Does the Governor think that the Chen brothers are sure of victory? You...don't really know, right?"
Chang Yu smiled: "Our family can only say that we will not lose money today!"
This is even more incomprehensible given Wuzhong's IQ, but although his IQ is not that good, there are few people in the world who can compare with him in terms of martial arts skills.
So he could tell early on that Tu Yuan would win this battle!
Although the Chen brothers are strong and strong in boxing skills, Tu Yuan's strong and tall physique far surpasses those two brothers. What's more, he is born with supernatural power. It is said that he can defeat ten ordinary boxers with one force, just like squeezing a chicken.
Some people may say that the Chen brothers are not ordinary boxers but top-notch masters, but Tu Yuan is not just a big fool. He is an experienced warrior. No one can beat him on the battlefield, not to mention that he has friendship with Wuzhong in private. It's nice to be taught by him. He's really not weak in Baziquan martial arts.
Physique, strength, martial arts, and actual combat experience, these four aspects were either overwhelming or evenly matched. It was not clear who was stronger and who was weaker, so both Li Muchian and Tu Yuan did not hesitate to bet on Tu Yuan.
They can see it, and Chang Yu can also see it naturally, not to mention that he himself has personal experience. In terms of martial arts, he is on par with Wuzhong and even better than Wuzhong in terms of experience and vision. After all, he is the master of mixed martial arts in later generations. , but because of the huge physical difference, he lost nine times out of ten against Wuzhong.
So before the fight started, he knew that Tu Yuan would win. The reason why he still bet on the Chen brothers was naturally because he was encouraged by his own attendants. In addition, he was sure that Tu Yuan would lose in the second game!
If he were to fight alone with an ordinary boxer, Tu Yuan would be able to fight at least three or five times, even in a round-robin battle, but with these two brothers...hehe, Chang Yu was sure that he wouldn't be able to survive the second round.
As expected, Tu Yuan and Chen Suole were fighting fiercely on the field, showing off their skills with fists and kicks, causing the onlookers to cheer.
After all, it was just a martial arts contest and one could not compete with one's life. However, in front of everyone, no one wanted to lose. The fight between the two became more and more intense. In order to avoid serious injuries, two referees were appointed, Qiao Sanxiu and Chen Wangting.
The two fought fiercely for less than a moment. Chen Wangting and Qiao Sanxiu pulled the two apart and unanimously judged Tu Yuan to be the winner. Chen Suole was not convinced and wanted to fight again, but Chen Wangting glared at him and walked up to Chang Yu with red ears and said: " A humble position..."
Chang Yu didn't wait for him to finish speaking and pulled him to sit next to him: "I was lucky enough to win a few moves because of my big size. How big of a deal is it? Let's see how Ru Xin deals with him."
Chen Suole felt relieved when he heard that Chang Yu had no intention of blaming him, but he felt very sorry that Chang Yu had lost money: "The money that the Governor lost should be deducted from his humble salary."
Chang Yu was startled and laughed randomly: "Then your grandson will have to be deducted." He raised his hand and waved to Li Muchian: "Add two thousand more to the governor, Chen Ruxin."
"Hey, Lord Governor, you're going to give everyone a reward today." Li Muxian was so happy that he won the silver that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear, and whispered: "If an ordinary person loses all his strength in one battle and then fails to fight again, Tu Yuan's innate supernatural power... ...Pindao still overpowers him in this round!"
Chang Yu ignored him and turned to ask Wuzhong: "Who are you betting on?"
"It's Tu Yuan," he said to Li Muxian, "Niu...Daozhang Li bet twenty taels for me!" Li Muxian was happy to win the money and agreed.
Hey, Chang Yu patted Wuzhong hard and sighed.
"What did the Governor want to say?" Wuzhong turned around and asked, Chang Yu shook his head: "I was too lazy to tell you, but I just couldn't help it. Have you ever seen Bendu doing discount business!"
"But what does this have to do with your humble position? If you make money, you won't give me a cent. If I lose money, you won't give me a cent." Wu Zhong scratched his head and said with confusion.
Uh... Chang Yu was speechless!
The handicap at Dongchangwei is surrounded by water. Some people lost everything in the first battle, and some won a lot of money. Now they are going to start betting on the second game. Those who lost all are busy borrowing money to bet, and those who win are busy borrowing money to bet. Raise the stakes, even the big guys like Xu Hongji are no exception.
"Commander Wu seems to be unlucky!" Chang Yu stared at Wu Sangui not far away with a wry smile on his face and joked: "Thank you to the governor for your blessing, the general just lost two hundred taels." Wu Sangui shook his head and smiled bitterly. Marco looked happy: "I told you that you won't listen. The Lord Governor is rich and powerful so that he can cheer for his servants and reward the soldiers because he was happy in the battle yesterday. Why are you joining in the fun?"
"It seems that Mr. Ma has gained a lot just now. I'll have to buy you a drink later." Chang Yu said with a smile, and Ma Ke patted his chest: "I'm just afraid that the governor won't drink. As long as you open your mouth and take care of it!"
Everyone was joking and asking each other about each other's gains and losses. Each of the big guys had their own wins and losses. What was surprising was that apart from Chang Yu, the one who lost the most was Chang Yanling. He trusted Chang Yu too much.
"Uncle, keep betting, keep betting!" Chang Yu whispered to Chang Yanling when no one was paying attention. Chang Yanling was startled and then laughed, patted Chang Yu on the back and asked the servant to place the bet.
