Chapter 480 Betting

Chen Wang and Xu Miaoyin came to the street.

This Quyang City is indeed not comparable to Tiankang County.

The streets are busy with traffic and people coming and going, including rich daughters, young ladies from official families, young masters, and ordinary scholars and peddlers.

The hawking of various vendors on the street is endless, including candied haws, candied figurines, and some small items.

In the shops on both sides, rouge, powder, silk, satin, jade, calligraphy and paintings are even more eye-catching.

Chen Wang and Xu Miaoyin strolled on the street and came to the teahouse.

The teahouse in Quyang City gave people a bright feeling and was built very elegantly.

There was a storyteller in the teahouse, with two mustaches and a thin figure, but the stories he told were very exciting.

Chen Wang heard that he was talking about a young knight named Guo Congyun, who once flattened 19 bandit camps with one sword and killed a demon that was causing trouble in the mountains and fields.

Guo Congyun was praised to the sky.

Chen Wang sat down at a table, and soon someone served him tea and snacks. They listened with great interest.

The storyteller said: "Now we recommend Guo Congyun as one of the ten young martial arts rankings. I think he is likely to be on the list."

Martial arts ranking is a ranking of the strong men of the Chu Dynasty, and the young martial arts ranking is for young strong men.

This is a list that the Chu Dynasty just released this year. It is judged by an official organization and naturally has credibility.

Therefore, this year's martial arts conference or various competitions are all accumulating reputation and striving to be on the list.

Chen Wang was also very interested. After listening for a while, he heard a few more names, Yu Qingfeng, Liang Xu, and Ning Haiping. These three people have now come to Quyang City and are said to be participating in this martial arts competition.

Suddenly!

There was a bustling crowd outside, and the flow of people quickly gathered in one place. It seemed that something was happening.

Chen Wang came to the window and looked down. Xu Miaoyin said excitedly: "It must be the start of the martial arts competition!"

Chen Wang smiled and said: "Let's go and see?"

Xu Miaoyin clapped her hands and said: "Okay, okay."

They paid the silver and left the teahouse soon. There were many people who left the teahouse with them, all attracted by the competition.

The crowd was very crowded, and Chen Wang had to protect Xu Miaoyin, so they did not walk fast.

When they arrived, there were already two people fighting on the stage, a burly man and a young swordsman in white.

The burly man held a copper stick in his hand, and he opened and closed it vigorously.

The white-clothed swordsman was light and graceful, and he lifted heavy objects with ease.

Chen Wang watched from the side and found it interesting.

The two people who fought were body-building warriors, but they looked very good.

Xu Miaoyin's eyes were wide open, and she looked at the stage nervously.

I didn't feel anything about this elegant swordsman in white. After all, there was Chen Wang, who was so domineering and extraordinary. It was not something that ordinary people could match.

Xu Miaoyin pulled Chen Wang's sleeve. She knew that Chen Wang was a great man, and asked excitedly: "Mr. Chen, who do you think will win?"

Chen Wang said: "Of course it's this swordsman in white."

Xu Miaoyin said: "So that's how it is."

She watched the intense fight on the stage intently.

Someone nearby saw Chen Wang with such a lovely girl with bright and charming looks.

Hearing him say this, he immediately snorted coldly.

This man was a tall and thin man with a horse face, but his eyes were very sharp.

Chen Wang saw that he seemed to be a little disdainful of his speech, but he didn't care and just smiled faintly.

Xu Miaoyin was unhappy: "Big brother, what are you sneering at?"

If someone else asked this, the horse-faced man would naturally be unwilling, but when such a bright girl spoke crisply, he patiently explained: "These two are body-building warriors. The stronger they are in this realm, the more advantages they have. This big man has strong muscles and bones, and it can be seen that he has worked hard. Although the posture of the white-clothed swordsman is chic, it is flashy and unrealistic. If we talk about body building, he is much worse than this big man."

He talked freely and attracted the attention of several people around him.

Among these people, there are many young women or women.

Everyone listened to his clear and logical talk, and some of them were stunned.

The horse-faced man was very pleased and smiled slightly, looking a little graceful.

But his smile was a little different from Chen Wang's smile, and this horse-faced man was even more scary when he smiled.

Xu Miaoyin was a little unwilling,

"Maybe the white-clothed swordsman will win. It is common for the small to win the big, and the clever to win the clumsy."

The horse-faced man laughed and said, "The little girl doesn't understand martial arts. Did you hear this from hearsay?"

"The body-building realm polishes the membrane, tendons, bones and muscles. You can see it from the body shape at a glance. It is not comparable to skills.

And this big man's moves are sharp and steady. It is obvious that his martial arts are higher."

Xu Miaoyin didn't care at first, but when she heard the big man laughing at Chen Wang, she was a little unwilling, and her fair face was puffed up.

Chen Wang held her hand and said with a smile: "No need to argue, the white-clothed swordsman will win."

The horse-faced man laughed and said: "Brother, it doesn't matter if you don't understand martial arts, but don't make any more comments in public."

He looked generous, which made Xu Miaoyin even more angry.

Chen Wang didn't care: "Let's make a bet, ten taels of silver, a little bet is good for fun."

He started with ten taels of silver, and the horse-faced man frowned immediately.

He was a jianghu, so this was not a small amount for him.

But at this time, in full view of everyone, he didn't want to lose face. He thought about it secretly and said, "Okay! Then let's make a bet!"

Everyone is also very interested in this.

Gambling has been a very addictive thing since ancient times.

The melon-eating crowd around them paid more attention to the battle on the ring. Some women also cast their eyes on the faces of Chen Wang and the white-clothed swordsman, secretly comparing them.

The conclusion is naturally that the young man in the audience has more temperament, is more handsome, and has a heroic spirit.

The horse-faced man watched the battle on the stage. This strong man's moves were steady and there was no way he would lose.

However, the two of them fought for a while, and the swordsman in white showed no sign of defeat. Instead, he slapped his sword and knocked the weapon out of the big man's hand, and the sword hilt hit the big man's chest.

Kick! Kick! Kick!

The big man took three steps back, and the long sword made a cut on the big man's chest. However, it did not hurt his skin, but only tore his clothes.

He immediately stopped his hand without hurting anyone, raised his hand and said loudly: "I accept it!"

The strong man said angrily: "My skills are inferior to others, I lost, thank you for your mercy, Master!"

The big man clasped his fists, picked up his weapons and jumped off the stage.

The white-clothed swordsman said: "You are not talented, you are showing your shame."

There was a burst of cheers and fierce applause all around.

His expression was even more impressive, he stepped off the stage calmly and his movements were very dexterous.

The horse-faced man looked stunned: "..."

Xu Miaoyin said excitedly: "Okay, okay, I win!"

The people eating melons next to him also looked at the horse-faced man with great interest.

The horse-faced man frowned,

"It shouldn't be, how could it be? No way!"

Xu Miaoyin spread her hands: "Here, ten taels of silver!"

Ma's face was sweating profusely. Although he felt a little distressed, he could only grit his teeth and admit it. He put his hand into his arms and took out ten taels of silver.

But Chen Wang raised his hand to stop him, and said with a smile: "Brother, don't take it seriously, it's just a joke."

The horse-faced man was stunned.

Chen Wang smiled and left with Xu Miaoyin.

The horse-faced man thought to himself: "This young master has the upper hand but does not humiliate himself and does not ask for these ten taels of silver."

He let out a long sigh,

"This young master is truly extraordinary and has extraordinary bearing!"

The horse-faced man was sincerely convinced, and everyone onlookers were also impressed by Chen Wang's magnanimity.

He is unfazed by honor and disgrace, has the upper hand, but lets others go. This demeanor is very unparalleled.

Several wealthy daughters were even more excited.

Looking at Xu Miaoyin held in Chen Wang's hand, he wished that the girl was him.

"It would be really special if you could chat, laugh and play with him by his side."

Xu Miaoyin and Chen Wang left.

Xu Miaoyin smiled from ear to ear. She didn't care about money at all. With her background, she didn't care even if she had a hundred taels. She was just a child with a child's mind and felt that she had defeated that man.

"Mr. Chen, you are so powerful. Why don't you want that man's money? We beat him, who made him laugh at us?"

Chen Wang said with a smile: "What he said is actually not wrong. It's just a bet and fun. There is no need to have any grudges. You have to be merciful and be merciful."

Xu Miaoyin said: "You must be merciful and merciful. Mr. Chen, you are so magnanimous!"

No one in the Chu Dynasty had ever said this, so it was Chen Wang's prostitution in vain.

Xu Miaoyin said: "Mr. Chen, how do you know that the swordsman in white will definitely win?"

Chen Wang smiled and said, "My ears are very good. I heard him whisper when he was fighting with the big man earlier. The stick hit him just now was too hard and almost knocked off my sword. A little more beating will be enough."

Xu Miaoyin's eyes widened immediately: "Huh?"

She is also a very smart girl, she reacted immediately,

"They are lying!"

Chen Wang laughed and said: "Of course there are many people who are willing to show up at the martial arts conference held in Quyang City and be in the limelight."

Xu Miaoyin said: "Isn't it a pity for that big man? He can obviously win!"

Chen Wang said: "That guy makes money from food, clothing, housing and transportation, so it's okay to enjoy it."

Xu Miaoyin took Chen Wang's hand and was a little excited.

He thought to himself: "You can really learn a lot from following Brother Chen."

They ate and wandered on the street and bought a lot of things.

As soon as Xu Miaoyin went out, she realized that although she didn't bring a maid, she also had an embarrassing problem. She didn't bring any money.

Fortunately, Chen Wang was extremely generous and did not hesitate to take action.

Xu Miaoyin was the daughter of a wealthy family and was not short of money. She was not surprised by Chen Wang's generosity, but she felt that following Chen Wang was really reassuring.

As for the two guards, not long after they went out, Chen Wang turned left and right to get rid of the two guards.

The two brothers were still looking for someone on the street.

When Chen Wang and the others returned to Xu's house carrying large and small bags, the two brothers had already gone back to report the news.

One of them was about to speak, but after seeing Chen Wang's eyes, he immediately swallowed it back.

They are Mr. Xu's people, and they don't care about Miss Xu's family. They just want to keep an eye on their movements.

Just now I wanted to blame him, but for some reason I couldn't speak when I saw the young man's eyes. He just said,

"Miss, the second master and his wife are waiting impatiently."

Xu Miaoyin said: "I know."

Chen Wang said: "It's okay, I'll take you to talk."

Xu Miaoyin hummed and nodded, with some joy in her eyes.

Arriving at the lobby, Mrs. Xu and Mr. Xu had been waiting for a long time.

Just as Mr. Xu was about to speak, Mrs. Xu came forward and said with a smile: "I just want to go out and play. Fortunately Mr. Chen is here, otherwise my mother would be really worried."

Xu Miaoyin smiled: "Mother."

Xu Sheng said with a straight face: "Miaoyin, the streets are so chaotic now, how can you run around?"

"Do you know how worried your family is about you?"

Xu Miaoyin lowered her head and stuck out her tongue.

Chen Wang smiled and said, "I took her around for a while and then got separated from the guard. I don't blame her."

Xu Sheng frowned, thinking, you are an outsider, why is it your turn to speak?

Although he called Mrs. Xu sister-in-law, he actually didn't care.

But he originally looked down upon Chen Wang, thinking that he was just a young warrior who knew a little bit about boxing and had no foundation.

But for some reason, when Chen Wang looked at him, he didn't dare to speak.

Mrs. Xu was a little surprised at this time.

Although Xu Sheng was polite on the surface, he secretly acted on his own initiative, thinking that they, orphans and widowed mothers, were easy to bully.

She also endured many times, as if she was being pulled here by him to wait for Xu Miaoyin to come back.

She had opened her mouth to save herself, but Xu Sheng was still not happy.

But why did he suddenly stop talking at this time?

Mrs. Xu's heart moved and she looked at Chen Wang thoughtfully.

After the second master of the Xu family left the living room, he felt a little confused.

"Strange, this kid is white, right? Why didn't I dare to speak in front of him just now?"

Thinking about it now, he really wanted to give himself a big mouth. He clearly had an opportunity to make trouble and use the topic to his advantage.

"Perhaps it's because he is a warrior, young and energetic. I'm afraid he won't follow the rules. Next time, I will bring a few guards by my side to build up his momentum."

With this thought in his mind, after returning to the room, his wife Zhang came to greet him.

Mrs. Zhang said: "Why are you back so soon?"

Xu Sheng said: "My sister-in-law seems to really trust Mr. Chen, so I can't say much."

Mrs. Zhang said unhappily: "Didn't I ask you to take the opportunity to make trouble and stop my sister-in-law from focusing on the family business?"

Mr. Xu also had some doubts in his heart, but it was hard to say anything in front of his wife.

He changed the subject and asked, "How did things go?"

Mrs. Zhang lowered her voice: "Don't worry, my brother knows the people from the Heavenly Demon Alliance and has already invited that expert to kill them both mother and daughter without any sound."

Mr. Xu whispered: "There won't be any trouble, right? We can't get too involved with the Sky Demon Alliance."

Mrs. Zhang said: "Many old people in the family are very loyal to your damn brother. Otherwise, how can a woman manage this business? If you hesitate, the Xu family will really have nothing to do with you!"

Mr. Xu gritted his teeth: "Okay, let's do it!"

But after thinking about it for a moment, he felt a little worried.

"The imperial court is now very aggressive in arresting people. We must not let the Yamen catch anything."

Mrs. Zhang said coldly: "Don't worry, my brother has arranged everything."
