The first emperor of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 224

But Luke was not ready to leave just now, he had never been insulted like this since he was a child.So he threw away Hou Guobin and said to Cheng Chumo, "Why don't we just take a gamble?"

"Want to gamble with the young master? That depends on whether you have the money to gamble? As far as I know, you seem to be penniless now. Could it be that you are going to bet your life with the young master?" Cheng Chumo said with disdain Said to Luke.

"Just bet, bet. Don't tell me I'm afraid you won't succeed?" After Luke finished speaking, he was ready to bet his life silently with Cheng Chu.

But how could Hou Guobin on the side let Luke be so nonsense.But no matter how Hou Guobin winked at Luke, Luke turned a blind eye.

Just when Hou Guobin was at a loss, a person suddenly walked in from the outside.After seeing Luke, he smiled and said, "So you're here too?"

It was none other than Cui Yong, the eldest grandson of the Cui family in Qinghe.This Cui Yong and Lu Ke have known each other for a long time, although they can't be regarded as having any friendship, but at least they can be regarded as acquaintances.

Seeing Cui Yong greet him, Luke said, "What a coincidence, Mr. Cui also came to the Hero Tower to try his luck?"

"I'm not interested in this thing. I just heard that someone in the Hero Building wanted to gamble their lives, so I came in to have a look out of curiosity. Where is the person who gambled their lives?" Cui Yong said after shaking his head.

"You don't have to look for Mr. Cui. The one who wants to gamble his life today is my master." Luke said to Cui Yong.

"Why is Mr. Lu so overwhelmed that he wants to bet his life with him? I don't know who the other party is, but he dares to be so arrogant." Cui Yong asked Luke in shock.

"You have nothing to do here, kid, get out of here as far as you can." Cheng Chumo said, glaring at Cui Yong.

Seeing Cheng Chumo standing up, Cui Yong said with a look of disdain: "It seems that Mr. Lu is going to bet his life on you, Cheng Chumo?"

"So what's wrong with me? Could it be that you also want to take a trip into this muddy water?" Cheng Chumo looked at Cui Yong and said.

"Don't think that you are really my cousin because of my aunt. Let me tell you, you have nothing to do with my Qinghe Cui family. You cannot be arrogant and domineering in front of me." Cui Yong snorted coldly After that, he said to Cheng Chumo.

"Aren't you guys from aristocratic families like this? I really don't bother to have anything to do with you, young master." Cheng Chumo said with a nonchalant expression.

"Okay, it seems that I don't want to go through this muddy water today. Today I will let you know that you so-called princes and sons are nothing in front of our five surnames and seven sects." Cui Yong gritted his teeth to Cheng Chumo Said.

Then he turned around and said to Luke: "You are not afraid of losing your identity if you bet your life with this kind of person. If you want me to say, you should still bet with him until you win him and sell Duke Lu's mansion."

Hearing Cui Yong's words, Luke couldn't help but said in embarrassment: "Mr. Cui, you don't know something. Today I am in this Hero Building, and I have completely lost everyone."

Then Luke told Cui Yong in detail how he lost the ancestral jade pendant and how he lost the caravan in Chang'an City to the Hero Tower.

"I don't think it's the big deal, isn't it money? There is nothing else in our five surnames and seven clans. We are rich. You are just short of money for a while."

"Don't worry, I'll lend you as much as you want today. I don't believe that Cheng Chumo, like the professional gamblers in the hero building, can win you out of nothing." Cui Yong said with the original expression on his face .

Hearing Cui Yong's words, Luke's confidence increased greatly.So he said arrogantly: "Tell me, what do you want to bet with me today? Poker, Pai Gow, dice, mahjong, as long as you can name it, I will accompany you to the end."

At this time, Cheng Chumo's face had turned a little livid, and he glared at Cui Yong and said, "Don't you really want to take this muddy water today?"

"If you go back and find my aunt now, maybe I don't care about this matter. Otherwise, you just sit there and gamble with Mr. Lu." Cui Yong said domineeringly.

"Okay, then I'll bet with him today. When the time comes, I'll lose your Qinghe Cui family's property. Just don't be afraid that your father will break your leg." Cheng Chumo sat down on the gaming table after finishing speaking.

Then he opened his mouth and said to Luke: "Let's play something simple today, how about shaking the dice. Whoever shakes the big one wins."

"Okay, today my son will play dice with you." After Luke finished speaking, he rolled up his arms and sat down.

But at this time, Du He who was beside Cheng Chumo said, "You're ready to start like this, but I haven't seen your gambling book yet?"

Hearing Du He's words, Luke couldn't help looking at Cui Yong who was beside him.After all, he is penniless now.

Cui Yong smiled when he saw Luke's gaze, and then said to Wang Fugui, the shopkeeper of the Hero Building, "Treasurer Wang, how much do you think my Qinghe Cui family's shop in Chang'an City is worth?"

Qinghe Cui's family is different from Fan Yang's Lu's family. The business controlled by Fan Yang's Lu's family is only caravans transported by boats and vehicles.But Qinghe Cui's family intervenes in people's livelihood, as long as it is something that the common people can use, the Qinghe Cui's family can manage it.

Therefore, Qinghe's Cui family's property in Chang'an City is not comparable to that of Fan Yang's Lu's family's caravan.Not to mention the value of hundreds of thousands of guan.

Hearing what Cui Yong said, Wang Fugui greeted him with a smile and said, "I really don't know about this. After all, I never thought that someone would use Qinghe Cui's shop as a gambling capital."

Cui Yong nodded after hearing this, and then said to Wang Fugui: "Qinghe Cui's property in Chang'an City is worth at least 50 guan. Today I will lend them all to Mr. Lu."

"You said it's worth 50 guan, so it's worth 50 guan? I also said that our family's property is worth 500 million guan, do you believe it?" Du He on the side said to Cui Yong with a look of disdain.

"Shut up, the Qinghe Cui family's business in Chang'an City is not worth a million guan." Cheng Chumo said to Du He in a low voice.

Hearing Cheng Chumo's words, Du He couldn't help sticking out his tongue.Then he stood behind Cheng Chumo and said nothing.

But at this time Luke opened his mouth and asked Cheng Chumo: "Now that I have my gambling capital, I don't know where your gambling capital is?"

"Wang Fugui, tell this bastard Mr. Lu, how much money does Hero Tower have for the young master?" Cheng Chumo said to Wang Fugui.

"Cheng Xiaoguo's functions have been mobilized, including Hero Building and Tiangan Lottery, not to mention 70 to [-] Guan." Wang Fugui said.

Now that both parties have the stake, this gamble is about to begin.But Hou Guobin, who was at the side, felt something was wrong with today's events.

It's a pity that he can't persuade Luke now.So I could only whisper something to Luke's followers, then turned and left the hero building.
