Zhenfubao waved his hand and the warehouse was full of grain, and the whole family regretted it
Chapter 620: All the things I brought were pledged to Da Qi
Bai Wanwan looked at him and said, "I plan to buy your medicinal herbs, but I still want to see the quality of your herbs."
The envoys from Yelang repeatedly said, "I guarantee that the medicinal herbs in our country are the best, and I can sell them to you at a low price when the time comes."
Bai Wanwan nodded and said, "When you get back, come directly to my house to find me!"
The envoy from Yelang nodded, and betting stalls were set up again on the edge of the training ground, with more people around than last time.
The envoys from various countries collected a bunch of good things as bets, including gold bars, gems, and various gold and silver jewelry.
There are also silks with exotic patterns, which are even more valuable than those displayed last time.
Only the Yelang Kingdom did not get involved, while other countries crowded around the stall to discuss their bets.
Bai Wanwan stood on tiptoe to look into the crowd, becoming more and more anxious the more she looked.
Most people placed their bets on the Xiongnu and Parthia. The stalls on the side of the Great Qi were deserted, and few people were willing to pay.
She clenched her handkerchief, bit her lip and said to Zhiwei beside her:
"Put all the things I brought with me to Da Qi!
Even if we have to fight hard, we have to support them!"
Bai Wanwan's followers carried sandalwood boxes and land deeds wrapped in red silk and lined up in front of the betting table.
The moment the lid of the box was opened, the jade bracelets and mutton-fat jade pendants shone so brightly in the sunlight that it was hard to open one's eyes.
Not to mention the neatly stacked land deeds and house deeds, on top of which were printed the vermilion official seals of "Ten Shops in the West Market of the Capital" and "Ten Farms of Good Farmland in the Suburbs of the City".
"This crazy girl!" Gasps erupted from the crowd.
An old official shook his head, "He's just like the Eighteenth Prince. He's betting everything on this! If he loses, won't he be skinned alive?"
The young men nearby winked and said, "Interesting! The younger sister bets on the older brother to win. It's more exciting than a horse race!"
Lin Zao Zao sneered, clutching her handkerchief, her nails almost digging into her palms: "You're just using your family's money to save face."
She glanced at the nanny beside her and said in a low voice:
“How much do we have left to bet?
Since she wants to be a sucker, let's increase our bet on the Huns!
Wait until she loses everything, and then we'll see how she can still act so arrogantly in this mansion!"
The nanny understood what she meant and immediately took out a dozen silver bills from her sleeve pocket and went to the Huns among the crowd.
Lin Zaozao no longer had much money. He only had a dozen or so silver notes left on him, which amounted to only a few hundred thousand taels.
Su Niantang said softly:
“Sister Zao Zao, I think it’s better for us not to place the bet. I don’t have much money on me.
I lost so much in the last game, I lost all my money, and my mother scolded me for it."
Lin Zao Zao looked at her and said, "You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child. I must beat Bai Wanwan this time. I'm not afraid of losing money. At worst, I can just start over."
It took her three years to save up this much money. It was not easy for her during these three years, but she lost it all. She hated Bai Wanwan to death.
But she was not afraid, because she knew that something big was going to happen next, and that was a plague.
Moreover, the plague was very severe and killed many people. At that time, the price of medicinal materials increased several times, even ten or twenty times.
She planned to make some money here, and then buy more medicinal herbs. She would definitely make a lot of money.
Thinking of this, she was so excited that she was shaking.
The competition began soon. Gu Sinian changed into a black suit and covered it with ink-colored soft armor. The edges of the armor were trimmed with gold thread, and it shone with a cold luster in the sun.
The scarlet belt around his waist tightly bound his body, making his shoulders look broad and his waist narrow. His black hair was loosely tied up with a headband of the same color, and a few strands of hair hung in front of his forehead, swaying slightly with his movements.
All the noble ladies around shouted loudly: "Gu Sinian, look at me here, look at me here..."
"Ahhh... the Eighteenth Prince is so handsome!"
Bai Wanwan stared at these noble ladies with wide eyes. They were quite scary when they went crazy.
With a whistle, more than a dozen horses rushed out.
The Xiongnu riders immediately rushed towards Gu Sinian. The people of Parthia also had bad intentions. The two groups surrounded them from the front and back, obviously trying to squeeze out the riders of the Great Qi.
Gu Sinian was quick-eyed and quick-handed. When the opponent's horse hit him, he kicked the horse's neck hard.
The horse neighed in pain and staggered back a few steps.
But the other side had more people, and the three white horses were soon pushed to the side of the track and almost hit the fence.
Bai Wanwan stamped her feet anxiously, "Cheating! This isn't a competition, it's bullying!"
Gu Sinian's horse raised its head and let out a clear, long neigh.
The other two white horses also neighed, their voices so high and urgent that everyone in the audience was stunned.
The Hun's horses seemed to be under a spell, spinning in circles. No matter how the riders pulled the reins, it was useless. Their faces turned pale and they almost fell off their horses.
The Hun army, which was originally running in the front, was in chaos, and the horses of the Parthian and Dayuan countries behind were frightened and slowed down.
The stands erupted in an uproar, with exclamations of surprise mixed with confusion: "Why did the Hun's horse freeze?!"
Someone stood on tiptoe and pointed at the center of the arena, his voice changing tone: "What the hell! Those horses are spinning in circles, and the riders can't even hold the reins!"
Seeing this, the Parthian riders took the opportunity to whip their horses and gallop forward, quickly widening the distance between themselves and Gu Sinian and the others.
Gu Sinian gripped the reins sternly, his horse's hooves kicked up a cloud of dust, and the distance between them and the Parthian army was getting closer and closer.
Just when the Parthian riders were about to cross the finish line, something unexpected happened. The front hooves of the three horses suddenly became weak and they fell to the ground with a "thump"!
The riders were caught off guard and were thrown into the air. When they landed, they rolled a long way on the sand in a mess.
Bai Wanwan suddenly stood up from her seat and said, "Hahahaha... they actually fell flat on their face. This Parthian Empire is incredible."
The horses of the Parthian Empire fell to the ground and twitched continuously, but the white horses of Gu Sinian and the other two were agile and galloped towards the finish line.
Deafening cheers erupted from all around the arena, and someone shouted at the top of their lungs, "The Great Qi Kingdom is about to turn defeat into victory!"
Bai Wanwan won a huge sum of money. She watched with a smile as her men carried all the things back.
Now everyone was quiet because they could no longer afford to gamble.
The Xiongnu envoy cursed, "Can't you just try harder? You can't even beat a few weaklings?"
The Parthian envoy was so angry that he gasped: "You good-for-nothing, now we've lost everything we had, and are you satisfied now?"
The envoy from Dayuan rolled his eyes.
The young men from Parthia were so upset that they shed tears. They didn't want this to happen! But they had no idea that the horses would be so out of control!
