It really is.
Chu Ze smiled in a friendly manner: "We have already chosen the National Preceptor, so there must be someone who can choose. Otherwise, is there any need for this bet to exist? Right?"
"Is it such a simple reason?" Kang Cheng looked at Chu Ze strangely.
This reason is too perfunctory.
Kang Cheng felt an inexplicable feeling of disobedience in his heart.
After thinking about it for a moment, he understood where the joints were.
Kang Cheng squinted his eyes and looked at Chu Ze, and said, "Do you want to intercept them before they get the documents?"
In addition, Kang Cheng could not think of any other way to prevent them from getting the documents.
Chu Ze was not surprised at all that Kang Cheng could guess his plan.
After all, he is a national teacher.
No matter how small the country is, if he can become a national teacher, he has some ability.
"It seems that the outcome is already obvious. Will the Imperial Master still bet?" Chu Ze looked at Kang Cheng with a half-smile.
Kang Cheng didn't answer immediately, he stared straight at Chu Ze.
The latter smiled with assurance of victory.
Kang Cheng couldn't figure it out.
The greatest charm of gambling lies in its unknown nature.
But now, he already knows the outcome of the bet. Logically speaking, there is no need to continue this bet.
Because the ending has been revealed.
But Chu Ze didn't change the conditions of the bet.
Could it be that because the outcome was favorable to him, he wanted to blatantly take advantage of himself?
Kang Cheng thinks this is very likely.
With Chu Ze's greedy look, it was something he could do.
Kang Cheng looked at Chu Ze for a long time and suddenly laughed.
"Okay." Didn't Chu Ze feel that he was sure to win? "Then let's make a bet. I don't know what the bet is."
This time it was Zhu Xi's turn to be surprised.
He raised his head in surprise and looked at Kang Cheng like a lunatic: "You still bet when you know you're losing?"
I'm afraid this person is not a gambling table fanatic!
Chu Ze laughed.
He knew this would be the result.
"Since the Imperial Master has agreed, the bet will be established from now on. The lottery is also very simple. We heard that when Ryukyu's Imperial Master succeeds to the throne, the previous generation of Imperial Master will personally pass it on to him. A finger ring, is this the one you have?" Chu Ze's gaze pointedly clicked on Kang Cheng's left hand.
Kang Cheng retracted his fingers and looked at Chu Ze warily.
When Chu Ze mentioned finger wrestling, the way Kang Cheng looked at him changed.
He even hid his hands in his sleeves.
"You want it?"
Kang Cheng's voice was cold.
This ring represents his status and his dignity.
Chu Ze actually dared to speak.
Chu Ze smiled and nodded: "In exchange, if you win, we will give you a blueprint of a weapon suitable for use on water. The lethality will not be lower than the existing weapons of the Ming Dynasty. How about it?"
"!"
Zhu Xiang's eyes suddenly widened: "Are you crazy?"
Can this thing be given away casually? ?
Not to mention how his father would react if he found out, just giving the enemy weapon blueprints and strengthening the enemy's power would be enough for his father to kill him.
How dare he bet this thing? !
Zhu Fang wanted to rush forward, grab Chu Ze's head, and shake it hard a few times.
Let's see if he has something in his head that makes him say such nonsense.
Kang Cheng also didn't expect that Chu Ze could make a bet with the weapon blueprints.
Weapons are a reflection of a country’s strength.
There are good weapons, and it’s too late to hold them by yourself.
But Chu Ze chose to bet on him.
To be honest, Kang Cheng likes Ming's weapons very much.
He had seen how good the guns used by Chang Yuchun were when he attacked the divine sect before.
If I could get a better weapon than this...
Kang Cheng lowered his head and looked at his finger. It didn't seem impossible to gamble with this thing.
Chu Ze ignored Zhu Chong and kept looking at Kang Cheng.
As the saying goes, if you want to take something, you must first give it to it.
If he wanted to get the ring in Kang Cheng's hand, he had to come up with a prize of the same magnitude so that the other party would be willing to gamble with the ring.
Look, Kang Cheng, who had refused just now, has been shaken.
Chu Ze looked at the hesitant Kang Cheng and added to his anger: "Brand new weapons that even the Ming Dynasty doesn't have. You really don't want it?"
"I think!" Kang Cheng answered without hesitation.
"But you have to guarantee that the weapons you bring out must be powerful and suitable for water use. They are not owned by the Ming Dynasty. At the same time, from now on, you are not allowed to give this kind of weapon to any other person or country, including the Ming Dynasty. Could you possibly do it?”
Kang Cheng looked at Chu Ze seriously.
Chu Zexin said: You are quite greedy.
But if it were him, he would also make such a request.
Chu Ze nodded in understanding and stretched out his hand: "Deal."
"make a deal."
Kang Cheng raised his hand and slapped him.
Snapped!
The bet is fulfilled.
…
royal palace.
"This Chu Ze is just nonsense!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he grabbed the cup and was about to smash it. His hand was raised in the air...
This cup costs only one tael of silver. It would be a pity to smash it.
Still put it down.
But in his heart, he felt uncomfortable and very impatient.
His eyes flickered and he saw the letter.
He grabbed the letter, rubbed it vigorously a few times, and threw it angrily to the ground.
Zhu Biao happened to walk in and looked at the ball of paper that was thrown to the ground. Then he looked at his father, who was walking around the room with his hands on his waist, blowing his beard and staring. He stepped forward to pick up the ball of paper in confusion. He wanted to see it. , what was written on this paper made his father so angry.
Zhu Biao unfolded the paper ball and asked casually: "Father, what happened?"
It's okay if he doesn't ask.
This question directly ignited Zhu Yuanzhang's anger.
"It's not that Chu Ze! He is so brave! He actually dares to bet with the weapon blueprints just to win some finger-wrestling! Tell me, is he out of his mind!" Zhu Yuanzhang became angrier as he scolded, If Chu Ze were by his side now, he would definitely use the sole of his big shoe to drain all the water out of his head!
Zhu Biao also finished reading the contents of the letter at this time.
In it, everything Chu Ze did and said in the past few days was written down.
No matter the details.
Naturally, this also includes the reason why Chu Ze exchanged the drawing for the thumb ring.
After Zhu Biao read it, he frowned and said, "Didn't Chu Ze say that the finger ring was passed on to Kang Cheng when he was the Imperial Master? It must be of great significance. Chu Ze wants him to , most likely to vent anger on our Ming Dynasty." Who made Kang Cheng's words unpleasant.
Even Zhu Xi was angry.
"How can we not know!" It was clearly written in black and white on the paper, "But what method he used is not good, so he has to use this method? What if he loses?" Kang Cheng didn't look like an honest person at first glance. .
Chu Ze was bound to win this bet, and Kang Cheng promised to bet that he would definitely do something behind his back.
Especially the temptation of weapon blueprints.
Chu Ze was so excited that he could handle this matter.
"No. How can our Ming Dynasty's weapons fall into the hands of others? Biao'er, you immediately draft a decree and beat that Shen Nan. You must not let those squires get the documents. Even if there are documents, there must be no documents! "
