Lü Shu was a little angry. Logically speaking, betting on himself to win was the safest thing to do. After all, he had already advanced to the first rank. As long as the opponent wasn't too monstrous, he could do whatever he wanted.
Therefore, to Lü Shu, betting on himself to win was the way to go!
However, the arrangement of the gambling dens in Royal City surprised Lü Shu. He had to enter Jianlu, he couldn't possibly bet on himself to lose, right? No matter how much he loved money, returning home was more important than money, wasn't it?
Lü Shu was very displeased that the gambling dens of Song Ji didn't even discuss it with him.
Actually, the gambling dens of Song Ji couldn't be blamed for this. The high priest of Song Ji, Zhao Shuai, was in Nangeng City right now. He was rushing to find Lü Shu, but … he couldn't find him!
Originally, Zhao Shuai didn't know that Lü Shu was going to participate in the Jianlu selection. He wanted to ask Lü Shu if Wu Weijun was going to participate and if he could manipulate it.
In the end, Zhang Weiyu knew that they were old business partners, so he didn't hide it from him. The king had already set off for Royal City, and the candidate Wu Weijun was going to participate in the selection was Lü Shu himself. As for Lü Shu's whereabouts and when, there was no comment.
Zhang Weiyu was worried that someone would calculate Lü Shu's possible location. What if someone wanted to harm Lü Shu? He could imagine how many people in Royal City wanted to kill Lü Shu …
However, what Zhang Weiyu didn't know was that not only did someone from Royal City come, but they were also traveling with Lü Shu. It could only be said that Zhang Weiyu underestimated Lü Shu's shamelessness …
As for Zhao Shuai, when he found out that Wu Weijun's candidate was Lü Shu, he was completely shocked. 'This is the first time I've seen a commander participate in the Jianlu selection!'
Then, Zhao Shuai planned to discuss with the gambling dens about the operation. Although they couldn't find Lü Shu, this commander would arrive at Royal City sooner or later. After working together for so long, it would be easy to discuss the operation.
Therefore, the gambling dens of Royal City published this booklet and directly exposed Lü Shu's strength. Others thought that Wu Weijun's four first rank commanders were definitely a commander, but Zhao Shuai had known Lü Shu for so long, so he knew that Lü Shu was actually only second rank.
Therefore, Zhao Shuai felt that this selling point was very good — the path of a second rank counterattack!
At this time, Zhao Shuai didn't even think about what would happen if Lü Shu didn't get selected. To be honest, he didn't even consider this possibility. Subconsciously, Zhao Shuai felt that even if Lü Shu was only second rank, he would still be selected.
He didn't know where his confidence in Lü Shu came from …
However, Song Ji Gambling Den miscalculated. They thought that gamblers had a bad memory. If they saw that Lü Shu was only second rank, they would definitely be cautious. In the end, everyone really learned their lesson this time!
The gambling dens felt that this matter was very unimaginable. After operating the gambling dens for so many years, what had they not seen before? People who shouted that they would lose nine times out of ten would still run into the gambling dens, but didn't they still keep losing?
However, they neglected a problem. In the long history of gambling in Lü Zhou, no one had tricked Royal City's gamblers more ruthlessly than Lü Shu. Lü Shu had taught Royal City's gamblers a fierce lesson, forcefully telling them a truth — betting on Lü Shu was the right thing to do.
Therefore, Lü Shu's current odds were extremely low.
The gambling dens of Royal City felt that they really wouldn't be able to make much money this time. After all, the most manipulative player had already been manually blocked …
At this time, as Lü Shu looked at the booklet, he suddenly thought of a problem — everyone knew that Jianlu would select four people every year. This was a kind of habit, and there had never been an exception.
Then, if it was him … Was it possible to manipulate this matter?!
Wasn't this in line with his previous strategy?
After traveling for more than a month, the caravan finally arrived at Royal City. However, what surprised Lü Shu was that the walls of Royal City were actually painted.
"Song Ji Gambling Den welcomes you. Address: Yi Ren Fang …"
"Xiaolongkan Inn welcomes you …"
"Hot Spring Inn …"
Lü Shu was stunned for a long time. "What the hell is this? Can this be written on the city walls?"
Royal City was as majestic as a mountain. In the past, Lü Shu felt that the back of a tiger was already magnificent enough, but this Royal City was even more beyond his imagination.
The city walls seemed to have no end. Standing in front of the city walls, Lü Shu couldn't see the end.
How big was it?
And at the entrance of the city walls, there were exquisite advertisements painted on it, and there were even soldiers who were building ladders to paint new advertisements …
Yi Qian was not surprised and said, "It's advertising, after all. This is a method that the Old Divine King used to subsidize the Divine King's household back then. Every advertising space is especially expensive, and only those money-squandering establishments can afford it. But you have to say, it's quite useful. It's indeed easy for outsiders to be attracted to this thing when they come to Royal City."
Lü Shu was speechless. He couldn't wait to return to Nangeng City and inform his fellow townspeople that advertising spaces were for rent …
However, since the Old Divine King dared to do this without any restrictions, how would the other castellans dare to do such a thing …
However, Lü Shu didn't dwell on this. The moment he entered the city, he bid farewell to Sun Zhongyang and said, "I will help you find Commander Wu Weijun, but I still have some personal matters to attend to. I will go to the Sun residence tomorrow to visit."
As he said that, Lü Shu let Yi Qian lead the way to find Wu Weijun.
The gamblers and nobles in Royal City still didn't know that the person they hated the most had quietly arrived at Royal City and was plotting to make them jump into the Hidden Dragon River again …
Zhang Weiyu had been looking forward to what would happen after Lü Shu arrived at Royal City, and now, Lü Shu really came to Royal City.
…
Sun Zhongyang didn't stop them. After they waited for Lü Shu to leave, he sneered and said, "As expected, he's preparing to sell his goods to two families. What else can he have in Royal City? The direction he's going to isn't Jianlu's location either. He's definitely going to find that Wu Weijun Commander Lü Shu!"
"Follow him." Mo Xiaoya sneered and said, "If I catch him doing such a thing, Jianlu will have to give me an explanation!"
"Cough, cough." Sun Zhongyang interrupted, "Don't say such things. After all, it's Jianlu. What explanation can they give you?"
Mo Xiaoya couldn't help but sigh. Jianlu was awesome.
They quietly followed behind Lü Shu, Yi Qian, and Lü Xiaoyu, but they were a little puzzled. Why did these three go to a few gambling houses first?
Sun Zhongyang asked Song Bo to ask the people in the gambling houses to find out what this young man had done. In the end, everyone had no impression of Lü Shu at all.
That was strange!
In fact, Lü Shu knew that Sun Zhongyang and the others were following behind, so when Lü Shu went to place his bets, he used a face-changing mask!
Yi Qian led Lü Shu left and right, and Sun Zhongyang and the others followed behind. Finally, Lü Shu came to a small courtyard and pushed the door open without even greeting them. Inside, a burly young man turned his head and looked coldly at Lü Shu.
However, before he could say anything, Sun Zhongyang and the others flew in from outside the courtyard. "Hahahaha, Lü Shu, you didn't expect this day to come for you, right?"
That burly young man looked up at Sun Zhongyang and said, "I'm not Lü Shu."
Sun Zhongyang was in high spirits. "I know you won't admit it!"
On the first day Lü Shu came to the capital, Ding Qiushui, one of the most popular candidates for Jianlu's recommendation, was inexplicably eliminated …
The gamblers in the capital suddenly felt as if an unstoppable force had entered the capital and was pushing them toward the Hidden Dragon River …
