The end of the military era

This gamble with a bet of up to 3000 million silver coins was known all over the city in just one night.

At this time, the open-air stands of the Colosseum were almost full of spectators.

A well-built middle-aged man who was following Zhou Rui said with a smile on his face: "Master Zhou, this big bet you made with the eldest son of the Yan family has spread throughout the city.

Last night, after we received the news at the Colosseum, we started selling tickets for this competition overnight, but they were sold out before dawn. "

"Boss Cao knows how to do business. It seems that Boss Cao should be able to make a lot of money today!"

"Hehe, it's also thanks to Master Zhou."

The well-built middle-aged man is Cao Shanliang, the owner of the Colosseum in Ganyang City, but there is no kind person who can manage the Colosseum.

Zhou Rui, who had lived in the Colosseum for more than ten years, knew how dark the Colosseum was.

For Cao Shanshan, the boss of the Colosseum, Zhou Rui instinctively rejected him, so he only exchanged a few words with Cao Shanshan, and then stopped talking to him.

After Cao Shanliang sent Zhou Rui and others into the amphitheater of the Colosseum, seeing that Zhou Rui didn't want to talk to him, he wisely left first.

But soon Cao Shanliang led Yan Shaoqiu, Cui Xu and others into the amphitheater of the Colosseum.

Shen Zhi, the commander of the third division of Fengwu Army, and Sun Quan, the city lord, also walked in with Yan Shaoqiu talking and laughing.

Seeing that Zhou Rui and his people had arrived, Yan Shaoqiu first waved his hands to Zhou Rui, and then said: "Master Zhou, for today's game, I invite General Shen and City Lord Sun to act as notaries, do you think it is okay?"

Zhou Rui smiled and said: "Of course, then I will trouble General Shen and City Lord Sun."

At this moment, Shen Zhi pointedly said to Zhou Rui: "Nephew Zhou Xian, I heard that the lottery in each competition is as high as 1000 million silver coins, you have to think about it carefully?"

"General Shen, don't worry, I've already had people bring in gold bricks worth 3000 million silver coins, and I won't let it go if I lose."

As soon as Zhou Rui finished speaking, eight flat carriages pulled by black horses, escorted by a group of soldiers from the garrison brigade, slowly entered the circular field of the Colosseum.

The black fierce horse is a low-level ferocious beast, and it is also one of the ferocious beasts that humans can currently tame.

An adult black mammoth stands naturally, with a head height of nearly three meters, a weight of about 20 kilograms, and the ability to pull more than [-] tons of heavy objects.

However, black ferocious horses are not fierce beasts known for their speed, and generally can only be used as harness horses.

When eight horse-drawn horse-drawn carriages arrived behind Zhou Rui, the thatch cloth on the carriages was lifted off by the soldiers, revealing pieces of golden bricks.

The more than [-] spectators on the bleachers of the Colosseum suddenly went into an uproar. The impact of the eight carts of gold bricks on these spectators was really too great.

Zhou Rui smiled and said to Yan Shaoqiu: "Boss Yan, here are 6000 gold bricks, each of which weighs 50 catties, and is worth exactly 3000 million silver coins.

I don't know if Boss Yan is ready for the jackpot of this gamble? "

After Yan Shaoqiu saw the eight carts of gold bricks, he couldn't help but have a new assessment of the strength of the Zhou family.

You must know that even in the entire Han and Tang Empire, there should be only a handful of families that can take out 3000 million silver coins at once.

Could it be that the Zhou family in Ganyang City really dug up a gold or silver mine as rumored?

"Hehe, don't worry, Young Master Zhou, I'm ready for the jackpot of the game."

After Yan Shaoqiu finished speaking, he nodded to a bodyguard beside him.

The bodyguard then opened a suitcase he was carrying, and the suitcase was full of stacks of gold coupons.

"Master Zhou, here are all gold rolls with a denomination value of 500 gold coins from the six major orc nations. There are a total of 6000, which is exactly 3000 million silver coins.

Master Zhou can have someone check the authenticity. "

"Then I won't be polite. Boss Yan can also send someone to check the 6000 gold bricks I brought."

Chapter 46 Raising

After the two sides checked the authenticity of the 6000 gold coupons and 6000 gold bricks, the city lord Sun Quan announced the rules of the competition.

"The two sides will conduct three competitions, and the winning side will get a lottery of 1000 million silver coins.

Only cold weapons are allowed in the competition, and the use of guns or concealed weapons is considered a foul, and it will be judged as a defeat.

I wonder if you both have any opinions on this? "

Yan Shaoqiu immediately said to Zhou Rui: "Master Zhou, what do you think of performing a life-and-death struggle?"

As the name suggests, the life-and-death fight is a non-stop duel. If one party loses its fighting power, the winner can even directly execute the loser.

And even if the winner does not execute the loser on the spot, according to the practice handed down from the Han and Tang Empires since ancient times, the loser will become the slave of the winner from now on.

Zhou Rui frowned. After getting along these days, Zhou Rui had already regarded the simple and honest Xiong Da and Xiong Er as his real brothers.

Although Zhou Rui believed in the strength of Xiong Da and Xiong Er very much, Zhou Rui would inevitably hesitate to let Xiong Da and Xiong Er participate in the life-and-death battle.

At this time, Xiong Da opened his mouth and said to Zhou Rui: "Major General, our brothers are willing to participate in the life-and-death struggle."

Xiong Er then said carelessly: "Young General, we are not afraid of any life-and-death struggle, we will compete with them!"

Seeing that Zhou Rui was still hesitating, Cui Wenxu behind Yan Shaoqiu sarcastically said: "If Master Tuesday is afraid, you can just admit defeat."

Zhou Rui felt that Cui Wenxu really had a face that deserved a beating, and really wanted to go up and slap him.

"Okay, then follow what Boss Yan said, and carry out the life-and-death struggle!"

Zhou Rui's first appearance was Xiong Da, and Cui Wenxu's first appearance was a strong man, about 230 centimeters tall, only a little shorter than Xiong Da, and his body was as strong as Xiong Da.

Although this strong man is a hybrid of human and cow race, his face is the same as that of a normal human.

"Ganyang Zhou family, Xiong Da!"

"Zeyang Yan's family, Niu Ben!"

After the two announced their names, they roared at the same time and rushed towards each other with their knives.

Both of them were wearing leather armor made of ferocious animal skins, and the cold weapon they used was a machete, but the machete used by the two was much larger than ordinary machetes, and the length was unexpectedly the same. Reached about 1.5 meters.

When Xiong Da and Niu Ben were about four or five meters apart, they jumped up almost at the same time and slashed at each other with their knives.

Judging by the size of Xiong Da and Niu Ben, both of them should weigh at least 300 catties, but the two of them were able to jump at least three meters high at once, which immediately aroused the audience's surprise.

Seeing that both Xiong Da and Niu Ben jumped up to a height of almost three meters, Zhou Rui and Yan Shaoqiu, who had relaxed faces, immediately became serious.

Big guys like Xiong Da and Niu Ben can jump so high, so there is only one explanation, that is, they have all been promoted to the level of a master, or the level of a bronze warrior.

Zhou Rui cursed secretly in his heart, it turns out that Cui Wenxu's mixed human and cow race master has been promoted to a master, no wonder he dared to make such a big bet with me!

Yan Shaoqiu turned his head and asked Cui Wenxu in a low voice: "Wenxu, didn't you say that the four brothers who are mixed blood of humans and bears are only as strong as high-level fighters?"
