Chapter 159

Li Mu smiled and said, "No matter how much you press, it is a word 'gamble' after all. I don't like 'gamble', I like to do things that are confident."

Wang Ou thought for a while and said, "Mr. Marquis, there are times when you win the bet. Now you will be compensated one, if you win..."

"What if I miss the bet?" Li Mu asked back, and before Wang Ou could answer, Li Mu replied by himself: "I can afford to spend money, but I don't want to develop the habit of 'gambling'. I like to do things that I can control, because the result of gambling, whether it is winning or losing, in my opinion, it is losing."

Wang Ou showed a puzzled expression, but she really didn't understand.

Li Mu explained: "When you win the bet, the money comes too easily. Then next time you encounter something that is laborious and laborious, I will think, why do you do so hard? Why not bet a bet on a horse? But there is no general who wins? What if I lose one day? If I lose the bet, it will be even worse. I am such a competitive person, if I lose once, I will want to win back and will definitely double the bet. Therefore, I don't like gambling. I like the wealth I get through my own efforts. Even if I spend it extravagantly, I feel at ease."

When Wang Ou heard this, her beautiful eyes were shining with light. Just as she was about to speak again, she suddenly heard someone speak on the third-level high platform in the middle of the horse farm. A loudspeaker similar to the Taimiao was built near the third-level high platform. Although it was not as far as the Taimiao, it was sufficient in the range of the horse farm.

"Everyone, everyone!"

Someone was talking, and the noise suddenly subsided a lot. Looking at the third-level high platform, I saw this smiling man with a likable face, which made people feel friendly when they saw it. Some people recognized that this person was the shopkeeper in charge of Chengjia Wharf, but for some reason he was here.

The man on the third-level high platform made a rogue bow and said, "The villain Cheng Qian is entrusted by my master. From now on, he will be the shopkeeper of this horse farm. Today's Marseille is the first time in our Chang'an City. Many rules and gameplay are not known, but it's okay. When the Marseille is over, someone will give you detailed rules, which is not difficult to understand. The masters will know next time."

"Simply put the rules of this competition. The Datang Daily has published it. The first place is awarded 500 stakes, the second place is awarded 300 stakes, and the third place is awarded 100 stakes. This is the reward of the owner. There is one referee in each of the eight directions of the horse farm. If someone deliberately interferes with the competition during the competition, the results will be cancelled immediately and the latter one will be added. When the competition is terminated in force majeure, the competition may be re-raised, and the right to interpret it belongs to the horse farm."

"Dear masters who are participating in the betting have a bill on their hands. This bill contains your fingerprint. If you win the pressure, you need to show your bill when redeeming it. Press the fingerprint again. The three fingerprints match before you can receive the prize. If the bill is lost, I'm sorry, no matter how much bet, this prize will be invalid."

"There is a word first, and there will be no disturbance afterwards. The young man said this. Marseille is about to begin. The sound of the gong is a roar. I wish you good luck! Get the first prize!"

After the words came, everyone looked at the east side of the horse farm, where the forty knights had just finished drawing lots, twenty got numbered draws and climbed onto the corresponding horses. As the knights were ready, the horse farm became quiet.

Suddenly! A gong sounded!

The gate opened, and the horses rushed out under the control of the knight! At the same time, Cheng Qian's voice sounded again: "The sound of the gong sounded, the gate opened, and the competition officially began. The horse track was one lap and two miles, and two laps and four miles in total... You can see that the first one who surpassed the crowd was No. 12's 'Jueying'. The "Book of the Later Han Dynasty" said that the horse that Cao Gong rode was named Jueying. Although this "Jueying" was not the other "Jueying", its speed was not inferior... Oh, No. 17's 'Zhao Yebai' actually exerted force in the middle, surpassing No. 12' Jueying'. It was indeed worthy of being 'Zhao Yebai'. The horse's fur color was transparent and there was no trace of variegation. It was really a rare good horse..."

Everyone was originally looking at Malay, but suddenly he heard Cheng Qian's commentary as if he was injected with chicken blood, and looked at each other. The same was true for the female relatives bets. When Li Mu saw it, he explained with a smile: "Shopkeeper Cheng is commenting. Many people have made bets, but they can't enter the field. He commented on the third-level high platform and there is an amplification. People outside the horse court can also know the situation of the game."

The three girls then realized that they all nodded. Wang Ou looked at him and said, "I guess this is the Marquis' idea."

Li Mu did not admit it or explain it, and did not comment.

Twenty horses are all good horses, and the schedule is only four miles away. In the time of the future, the game ends in less than four minutes. People on and off the court, whether they win money or join in the fun, basically all bets. People who can see it in the horse stadium are worried, and those who can only listen to the sound outside the horse stadium are worried.

"...Ah! The winner is decided! The 19th 'Tieshan' took the lead, the 20th 'Yuhua Conferencing' won the second place, and the 12th 'Jueying' was a pity, and only got the third place. Congratulations to them!"

"It's really shocking. In the end, the No. 19 "Iron Mountain" that has been ranked in the middle of the early stage and the mid-range was the first. The sprint of the last 400 meters is really amazing! The No. 19 "Iron Mountain" is a Turkic BMW, and the owner of the horse is..."

After a brief introduction, the bonus was redeemed. The three horse owners came to the center of the horse farm. Cheng Qian had already come down from the third-level high platform. The three horse owners were asked to stand up. The first one stood in the highest position in the middle, second one, and third one again. The six servants carried three large trays, holding five hundred guan, three hundred guan and one hundred guan respectively. When talking about these money, they might not have a big feeling, but when they were really piled up in front of them, everyone suddenly realized that it was really a lot!

Cheng Qian redeems the prize money, and the competition is over. The audience is impatient to leave. It is not for anything else. Everyone has placed bets, and the winner is also eager to repay the prize money. Suddenly, someone shouted in the stands on the north side: "Do you sell this 'Iron Mountain'? I will buy it for 1,000 yuan!"

When the shout came out, the person who was about to leave stopped, wondering if this person had something wrong with spending a thousand guan to buy a horse? No matter how good the horse is, it will be as good as dozens of guan. If a thousand guan is buying a horse, is this person's mind full of water?

Everyone wanted to see who was planning to buy horses with a thousand tents. Following the sound, a young man climbed down from the stands on the north side. As if he was afraid of being snatched away, he climbed over the fence of the horse farm and ran towards the owner of the "Iron Mountain" who was ordering money but didn't have time to leave. Everyone looked carefully. Isn't this Zhulu Hou, who is in the limelight in Chang'an recently?

"What is he going to buy a horse?"
