Defying the Martial Way to Burn the Heavens
Chapter 1193: Robbing the Rich to Help the Poor
"Two...more than two million, in gold!"
When Zuo Feng heard such a sum, he couldn't help but stutter, and his speech seemed a little sluggish.
In fact, Amber had already explained the bets and odds to Zuo Feng before coming here. However, Zuo Feng had never participated in such a bet before, and his cultivation was suppressed to the first level of the strong body stage at that time, so he didn't have the mood to care about how much money he would get if he won the fight.
The reason why he put the money on himself and mortgaged the materials provided by the three families was because he felt that his life might not be guaranteed this time.
Zuo Feng was somewhat dissatisfied with the three families' passive solution to the challenge of the fight. Although he knew that the decision-maker also considered the possibility of his winning, he still felt very uncomfortable.
For all these reasons, Zuo Feng chose to go all out, mortgaged all the resources he could mobilize for gold coins, and invested in this gamble.
If he died in the fight, all his possessions would be useless. If he won the bet, he would not only save his life, but also earn a lot of money.
However, he did not take the number seriously, so after hearing Amber's words, he just felt that there was something wrong with his ears. After all, the number was too scary.
You should know that when I found the savings of the Jinyan Mountain bandits for decades in the secret cave of Jinyan Mountain, it was only tens of thousands of gold coins. I had almost squandered it all the way from Ye Lin to Xuanwu.
But all of a sudden, I had such a large sum of money. With Zuo Feng's temperament, he was also a little confused for a while.
Shocked, Zuo Feng did not reach out to take the piggy bank card. Instead, he hesitated for a moment before saying, "Why are there four piggy bank cards here? I only gave you one at the beginning. The other three...?"
Amber smiled and said, "The amount stored in this piggy bank card is limited. It can store up to 500,000 gold coins. When it is fully stored, it is only 500,000. Now the money in these four piggy bank cards is added together, of course, there are 2 million."
After understanding this, he smiled and took out three piggy bank cards from Amber's hand and put them into his arms.
Amber looked at Zuo Feng in surprise and said puzzledly, "Brother Shen, what do you mean?"
"You also participated in the betting, so naturally you have to let others make some money. You can't let me enjoy it all by myself."
"Haha", Amber waved her hand and said, "I said it was more than 2 million. Those small changes are enough for me to make a lot of money. These 2 million are all your money."
As he said this, Amber was about to force the piggy bank card in his hand into Zuo Feng's hand, but was pushed back by Zuo Feng directly.
Shaking his head, Zuo Feng said, "Since we are making money, we should make it together. Besides, I have to redeem those things I mortgaged, which is another sum of money. This money can be paid from this money-saving card."
"Those items must be redeemed, but the total is only more than 100,000 gold coins, and there is still more than half left."
Zuo Feng waved his hand to stop him from finishing, and said directly, "This fight is a blessing in disguise. I didn't expect this result before. Going all out is just a momentary pleasure. Now I have got so much money, I am satisfied.
You can use the money in this money-saving card to redeem the items, and as for the rest of the money, just take it. It would be a bit bad if we talked more."
Hearing Zuo Feng say this, Amber thought about it awkwardly, and finally chose to put the money-saving card away.
The two did not say anything else, but walked quickly towards the stone gate, but saw countless pieces of paper fluttering and rustling from the surrounding stands.
"What are these? Is it a ceremony after the fight?"
Amber smiled bitterly and shook her head, saying, "This is not a 'ritual' at all. Many people bet on the ghost catcher in this fight. Now that you have won, the proof of those people's bets is useless, so they naturally tore them up and threw them down. But this kind of scene has not been seen for a long time."
Zuo Feng watched those people tear up the paper in their hands angrily, and then threw it into the field fiercely. When he turned his eyes, he found that someone was crying and crying. He was crying very sadly.
"These people who were crying in pain seemed to have bet a lot, as if their parents had died."
The two had already walked into the stone gate. Zuo Feng took a last glance and turned his head to tease Amber.
Amber had a strange look on her face, but she still managed to hold back her smile and said, "You're wrong. Those people who are crying bitterly are not the ones who bet their money on the ghost catcher. They all bet their money on you."
Zuo Feng widened his eyes, looked at Amber in disbelief and said, "They are betting on me, and they are still crying bitterly. Are they crazy with joy?"
The passage leading to the arena is very long, and the surrounding torches are flickering, which makes Amber's expression of not knowing whether to laugh or cry more obvious.
"Hey, these people are probably really going crazy, but they are not crazy with joy as you said, but they are really sad."
Seeing that Zuo Feng looked confused, Amber stopped keeping him in suspense and said directly, "To be precise, these people are like this because of you.
These people believed the rumors of the Ghost Family and the painter, and believed that you were absolutely sure to win, so they put all their savings on you. But who would have thought that when you appeared in the arena, your cultivation was only at the early stage of the strong body, and they immediately judged the result of the fight.
Although your life and death could not be predicted, losing the fight was an irreversible result. These people tore up the betting vouchers in anger, and cursed you in the stands, shouting for the ghost catcher to kill you as soon as possible to vent their hatred.
Who knew that you actually had a backhand, not only recovered your original strength at the last moment, but also overpowered the ghost catcher in the battle, and finally you won the fight.
If you were replaced by those people, would you behave similarly to them now? "
Zuo Feng and Amber are both people with strong wills. Of course, he also knows that Zuo Feng will not be like those people in the stands. This only makes Zuo Feng understand more about why those people are like that.
Listening to what Amber said, when he heard that these people tore up their credentials and shouted to kill him as soon as possible because they saw that they would lose, he couldn't help but feel a little happy about the fate of these people.
But when Amber finished speaking, Zuo Feng gradually calmed down and his expression became serious.
"These people are indeed pathetic, but they are not worthy of sympathy. If a warrior fights until the last pass, it is difficult to predict whether he will win or lose. If Marshal Ni did not appear, Marshal Gui would kill me. What do you think the result would be now?
This fight has twists and turns. From a certain angle or a certain point in time, the result of the fight is so clear, but is it really so clear? Even the two people who are in it, me and the ghost catcher, who have had a brief fight, cannot judge the result of the fight, let alone those who are watching flowers in the fog from afar. "
Zuo Feng's words were full of emotion in his heart, but he also had his own understanding of the development of things. Zuo Feng was a person who had experienced many things with Zuo Feng. After a little thought, he roughly understood Zuo Feng's thinking.
"Yes, you and I encountered so many variables in Xinjun City at the beginning. Who knew that it would eventually disrupt a huge layout. Cheng Tianhao and Kui Xiang joined forces to lay a net in Tushan City. It seemed that we had no way out, but we also took out the ascension.
There is also Linshan County City, the Lingyao Mountains, and what happened to you and Yao Qiuer in Jiabao City.
All these experiences, which one is not a seemingly dead end. But if you are like these mediocre people, you give up completely before the last moment, then you will send your neck to the knife before others kill you. "
Zuo Feng looked at Amber with approval, nodded and said: "Yes, the road of a warrior is never smooth sailing. Fighting against the sky, the earth, and people, facing all kinds of difficulties in practice, can make progress faster than others. Never give up in the face of adversity, but make a firm decision early, so that you can always keep your faith and move forward. "
This feeling made Zuo Feng very comfortable, as if he had just said the beginning, and the people around him could understand what he was thinking, this is tacit understanding.
While the two were talking to each other, they had already arrived at the gate of the arena, where the Kang family carriage that had come in the morning was waiting outside.
At this time, there was some chaos outside the arena, but there were soldiers of the empire around the arena to maintain order, so the position near the gate was better.
Zuo Feng followed Amber into the carriage, and the driver shook the whip lightly, making a crisp "pop", and the vehicle slowly started and headed towards the outer city.
The carriage was moving forward in the wide and flat Xuanwu City, and there was almost no big bumps. After observing the outside, Zuo Feng subconsciously said: "I see why there are people celebrating outside. Could it be that most people have bet on me? Could it be that there were not many people betting on ghost capture? "
Amber glanced outside and said, "You may not know that those who bet on the ghost catcher are almost all those big families and big forces. They learned from the "inside" news they got at the beginning that the ghost catcher attacked you and won easily. Only those low-level people outside didn't know why, so they chose to bet on you.
But things are so interesting. In the end, those people who had made all the calculations lost everything, while these people who were usually poor suddenly had a large income. "
Zuo Feng nodded silently. He now understood the meaning of Ni Tianju's words. The original source of "Robbing the rich to help the poor" was here.
A fight actually had so many entanglements, and the victory or defeat could directly change the entire imperial capital completely. Looking at those celebrating people, Zuo Feng's eyes gradually became profound.
