The next morning, Lü Shu brought Yi Qian and Lü Xiaoyu out to eat. It wasn't that there wasn't any breakfast in the courtyard of such an expensive inn, but Lü Shu wanted to see if Duanmu Yun 'ai's elimination would have any impact on public opinion.
At this moment, Lü Shu had witnessed the cruelty of the Jianlu Selection. Even the illegitimate son of Duanmu Huangqi, who had a strong background, didn't dare to stay in the capital after being injured, let alone those without a strong background.
However, Lü Shu was a little troubled. Among the candidates selected for the Jianlu Selection, there were aristocrats from the capital. If they hid at home, there wasn't much he could do. It wasn't as if he, a mere Commander Wu Weijun, would directly declare war against the aristocrats in the capital.
"We've suffered a loss," Lü Shu suddenly said as he ate the plain porridge on the stall.
Yi Qian didn't understand why Lü Shu would say that. Lü Xiaoyu ate the porridge spoonful by spoonful and didn't even raise his head to know what Lü Shu was referring to. "Isn't this your plan? Are you regretting not going to the gambling den earlier? "
"We've lost a lot of money this time," Lü Shu said bitterly, "It's fine if you don't feel bad about it, but why are you still mocking us?"
Lü Xiaoyu glanced at Lü Shu and took out a stack of betting receipts from the gambling den from his spatial ring. "I've already placed my bets. The odds of eliminating Duanmu Yun 'ai are quite high."
Lü Shu immediately beamed, no longer minding Lü Xiaoyu's mockery of him.
Yi Qian was shocked as he watched the two of them. When his master, Lü Shu, said that he wanted to convince Duanmu Yun 'ai, he was serious. He felt that Lü Shu's plan would definitely work.
Now, he found out that Lü Xiaoyu didn't believe Lü Shu at all. After he and Lü Shu left, Lü Xiaoyu actually went to all the gambling dens in the capital to place his bets …
So, what kind of combination was this? They actually had such a tacit understanding of each other and even made money out of it?
However, Yi Qian didn't know that this was not a coincidence. Lü Xiaoyu went to the gambling dens to place his bets because of his understanding of Lü Shu …
Lü Xiaoyu didn't place his bets himself. He gave the Rainbow Soul Pearl to Xiaoyu and asked him to go.
After all, no one had seen Xiaoyu before. In this world of Lü Zhou, there was no lack of people with special facial features.
So this morning, when the managers of the gambling dens in the capital heard that Duanmu Yun 'ai had left the capital overnight after being eliminated, they had a toothache again …
Xiao Mingze, the manager of the Song Ji Gambling Den, had already passed down a death order to his subordinates. They had to find Lü Shu within three days. Otherwise, they would have their heads chopped off.
If he wasn't sure if it was Lü Shu the first time, then he was sure this time. Other than Lü Shu, no one else would do this. Song Ji Gambling Den and Lü Shu had cooperated so many times, how could they not know this fellow?
Xiao Mingze didn't doubt whether Lü Shu had the ability to do this. This was because the high priest, Zhao Shuai, had sent back a message saying that Lü Shu was the strongest second-grade expert he had ever seen.
Now that Lü Shu had successfully advanced to first-grade, he must be exceptionally strong.
This time, Xiaoyu Mingze was alerted when Anthony took out the promissory note from the Duan Gambling Den. In the end, no matter what Xiao Mingze said to Anthony, Anthony didn't answer. He took the money and left.
Xiao Mingze arranged for his men to follow Anthony, but he disappeared after entering a dead end.
There was more than one person following Anthony. Everyone had almost surrounded the dead end, but they didn't see him come out.
Anthony disappeared under everyone's eyes just like that. Many people suddenly thought of a skill: Earth Escape …
Xiao Mingze felt terrible. At this time, he suddenly realized that Lü Shu might really have an expert behind him. This Wu Weijun's background was far stronger than he had imagined!
Lü Shu sat at the breakfast stall happily, as if he had won the lottery. Meat pies had fallen from the sky!
He suddenly said, "Look now, two of the eight first-grade experts are gone. My opponents have decreased, and no one knows that I did it! Although there are some deviations in the plan, the result is still good! "
Lü Xiaoyu looked at him in surprise. "Where do you get the confidence to think that no one knows that you did it?"
Lü Shu was stunned for a moment. "I saw Duanmu Yun 'ai leave. Don't worry, he didn't come into contact with anyone. And when I went, I noticed that no one was watching. No one will find out that I did it. So I'm still hiding in the dark, and no one will know my strength! "
At this time, two pedestrians passed by. One of them said, "Duanmu Yun 'ai was actually eliminated. What a waste of the money I bet on him. I thought he could enter Jianlu! I don't know who did this immoral thing! "
Lü Shu was unhappy when he heard this. It was a good thing to help them quit gambling. How did it become immoral? Just as he was about to give the other party a chance to organize his words, the pedestrian beside him suddenly said, "How can we not know who did this immoral thing? It must be that Wu Weijun Commander, Lü Shu! Who else could it be? "
Lü Shu, "???"
He was discovered just like that?
The pedestrian said, "Look, Song Ji Casino released a new booklet today. Did you notice a problem? The second and third place are no longer there. Only the first place, Lü Shu, is still there. What does this mean? Why did the second and third place coincidentally get into trouble, and only Lü Shu is fine? It must be him! Now everyone in the capital thinks that he did it! "
Lü Shu, "What the f * ck …"
Lü Xiaoyu continued to eat her porridge calmly. She glanced at Lü Shu, and the meaning in her eyes was: Do you still want to be smug?
At this moment, the pedestrian sat at the breakfast stall and shouted to the boss, "Boss, two bowls of porridge and two plates of pickled radish sticks!"
"Alright!" The boss responded.
The pedestrian continued, "You've been too strict with your tigress recently, so you can't go out. You don't know how serious the situation in the capital is. Now, everyone thinks that Lü Shu thinks that he didn't scam everyone badly enough, so he came to the capital to continue scamming people. In the history of the Jianlu selection, have you ever heard of a commander personally participating? In any case, I've never heard of it … "
"Then how are the betting lines in the capital's gambling dens?" the person beside him asked curiously.
"What else can they do? They're adjusting the betting odds. In the past, those who were sold probably lost out. Now, the betting odds are that the next person to be eliminated." The pedestrian sat at the table and drank a mouthful of the porridge that the boss had brought over. "Now, the person in fourth place has the lowest odds. He's a direct descendant of a wealthy family in the capital, and he might become the family head in the future. But now, before he even sees the shadow of the Jianlu, he might already be targeted by Commander Wu Weijun, Lü Shu."
"What has it got to do with him?"
"This Lü Shu is looking for people according to the rankings. Now that the second and third places are gone, shouldn't he be looking for the fourth place?" The pedestrian laughed and said, "You might not know, but his family is now negotiating with the gambling dens, hoping to buy someone else up. It's not just the Li family. Everyone who has money and hopes of entering the Jianlu is starting to buy the rankings for others …"
In the past, for the sake of influence, everyone hoped that their ranking would be as high as possible. But now, it was different. Now, they were buying others up …
Don't stand on ceremony with anyone. Whoever you have a grudge with, just buy them up to fourth place. They would definitely be dead the next day!
