Gambling has been banned repeatedly in all dynasties.
The Song Dynasty couldn't help but gamble.
But not everyone can do this kind of thing.
Zhao Congyue raised his eyebrows: "Who?"
"Wang Hu!"
The servant whispered: "He openly opened a bet outside and bet on our Cuju competition with Cao An this time! The current odds are three to one..."
Wang Hu used to be a famous gangster in the inner city, but because of his failed sneak attack on Cao An, he was abandoned by his master and became a lost dog.
Later Liu Ao took over his class.
However, he didn't act arrogantly for a few days before he was sent to prison by Cao An.
What people didn't expect was that he turned to Cao An in the end...
Didn't it say that Cao An must retaliate for his anger?
This is totally inconsistent with the rumors!
"Wang Hu has really accomplished a lot since he took refuge with Cao An!"
Zhao Congyue sneered: "It was because of him that we cracked down on Cao An's loan business before! Cao An stabilized the city west of the city! Damn, it's just an ant, but I didn't expect it to turn into a spirit!"
Tang Qi laughed: "This man is really arrogant! He dares to openly open the market because he is sure that he can win!"
When anyone encounters this kind of bet, the first thing to consider is what to do if they lose?
But instead of worrying, Cao An dared to go one step further.
You are really not afraid of going bankrupt!
Zhao Congyue smiled: "Can he win? Haha, it seems that a certain person has kept a low profile these years! All cats and dogs dare to come out and make noise! Mr. Tang, let's play with him?"
Tang Qi also smiled and said: "Since he is looking for death, why shouldn't we do it?"
…
In a bookstore in the east of the city.
This place sells books on the surface, but in fact it is an underground black market that specializes in lending money.
As long as you have money, any need can be solved!
Wang Hu was sitting in the back hall, with a few thugs in bunts standing beside him.
One of them bowed and clasped his fists: "Brother, everything has been arranged over there."
"Um."
Wang Hu frowned.
It's just an underground market, but tens of thousands of gambling dollars have been accumulated in a few days. Just hearing about this is shocking!
But I have to say that Cao An is really courageous.
The odds are three to one, and Zhao Congyue almost always wins.
If he loses, the loss alone will be enough to make Cao An deeply in debt! Even if he can make money again, he won't be able to turn around in a short time!
Regarding Cuju, he actually had little confidence in Cao An.
Have you ever played Ju?
It's funny to hear that a team of assassins and servants just wanted to win against a professional Cuju team.
But since Liu Ruyan is involved, this matter has to be discussed separately.
Cao An must have some tricks up his sleeve, otherwise how could he dare to be so high-profile?
Another younger brother continued: "Boss, there is a big family in the west of the city who wants to place a bet."
"How many?"
"Fifty thousand strings!"
Wang Hu was startled and said in shock: "Who is that person? Even the rich and powerful in Bianliang City cannot spend so much money at once! What does that person do?"
"He's just an ordinary businessman with quite a fortune!"
"Impossible, there must be someone behind him!"
Wang Hu was not a simple scoundrel, he immediately smelled something fishy.
"Then do we want to pick it up?"
The rogue was a little confused: "The plate has been opened. If we don't take it, it may affect our reputation...those who placed bets will question it."
You dare to make an offer if you don’t have money?
Are you making fun of us...
So if you win money, can you afford to pay it back?
"Don't answer him yet, I'll report it to you immediately!"
…
Cao An has been very busy recently.
Focus on Cuju affairs and prepare for a big fight.
Under his training, Wang Qi and others' football skills also made a qualitative leap.
Especially the few Cuju masters in Prince Chu's Mansion. They had good foundations, and after learning those tactical skills, they improved by leaps and bounds.
In the Wanyue Building, the long table is filled with all kinds of delicacies.
Cao An sat at the head: "Everyone."
Hearing this, the team members sat down one after another with serious expressions.
"In two days, we should go to the battlefield! Success or failure depends on everyone's thoughts! Even Cao didn't say much, just one sentence..."
Cao An stood up and raised his wine glass: "If we win, each person will be rewarded with a thousand guan!"
"What if we lose?"
Wang Qi is a killer and is used to strictly prohibiting things.
He has seen Cao An's methods these days, he is simply not a human being!
If they lose, this devil might torture them...
However, Cao An was not furious, he just laughed casually and said: "If you lose, you will be knocked down. What else can you do?"
That's it?
Everyone was wondering, has this person changed his gender?
Do you think we have been trained too harshly these past few days, so you can’t bear it anymore?
Seeing everyone but not speaking...
Cao An sat down and said: "If we lose, Cao will be ruined and leave Bianliang. You will just go back to where you came from. We will pretend that we have never had this drink."
Yes!
He has a bet.
If you lose, you have to get out, and the Cao family's property will become someone else's.
"But why should we lose?"
Cao An laughed again: "We have been training for so long, and everyone has worked hard for it. Why don't you have the confidence to win? Do you guys look down on yourselves so much?"
Everyone raised their heads.
In the past half month, they have almost experienced the most cruel torture in their lives.
Two hundred miles of physical training every day, three hours of group coordination, plus surprise inspections all the time, even while eating, he was reciting training techniques.
"No matter how strong they are, they still have two shoulders to carry one head. What's wrong with you?"
Cao An looked at everyone and said calmly: "Besides, you have competed with other Cuju teams before, didn't you also win?"
"Yes, we are not bad either!"
Wang Qi nodded and said with a smile: "Although Mr. Lang is a little cruel, he still gives us the best treatment."
"That's right, Mr. Lang is very generous!"
When everyone heard this, they also laughed.
After these days of contact, even the killers were gradually impressed by Cao An's boldness and gradually developed a good impression of him.
After all, no one can refuse someone who gives you money.
Even a killer can't resist the temptation of money...
Moreover, Cao An is not short of money and is even more willing to spend it.
The team members' daily diet and daily life are of the highest standard, and rewards are given from time to time, and they are often given dozens or hundreds of dollars...
Many players have already made hundreds of millions of dollars before even playing!
To them, Cao An is the devil, but he is also the god of wealth.
Not to mention the killers. They used to be in the organization and could only earn tens of dollars for their brains, and they also had to bear the risk of their lives.
But Cuju is not going to die anyway, right?
"Then do you want to switch to Cuju in the future?"
Cao An looked at Wang Qi and the other killers, and said with a smile: "I don't know what your status is in the organization, but being a killer is always a life-threatening job, right?"
Wang Qi hesitated for a moment: "Lang Jun said that from now on we will be exclusively engaged in Cuju?"
They were just temporarily lent to Cao An by Liu Ruyan. This matter...the rules in the organization were so terrifying that everyone broke into a cold sweat just thinking about it.
But Cao An's words opened a door of light in their hearts.
"Why not?"
Cao An looked serious: "If you can win this time, you will be famous in Bianliang immediately! There will be more and more competitions in the future. Not only can you have a stable and high-paying job, but you can also win generous bonuses and tips!"
