I really don't want to take shortcuts anymore

Chapter 59 Is the dark horse so easy to find?

On the [-]th, he did not show any doubts: "Returning to Master Wei Lian, the camp leader just awarded the lottery yesterday. In addition to merit points and property, the top three in today's competition will also get the opportunity to challenge the personal guards. It's hard to say You can stay with your Lord for a long time."

His eyes were full of excitement, but Luo Qianhuai didn't take it seriously.I don’t know what kind of blood Mr. Mo gave these hot-blooded young men to trick them into being so loyal.

She crossed the crowd and came to Mr. Mo's main house, but was blocked by Xing Yi.

"Wei Lian. My Majesty has read the medical record you wrote last night and praised you for doing a good job. Today is a big competition in the valley. My Majesty will give you a special day off. You will come back to serve you during the meal time."

Have a holiday?This kind of good thing is exactly what Luo Qianhuai wants.She thought for a while, then followed the direction of the camp guards just now.

With nothing going on, it would be nice to see the Nine Guards Competition.Are you watching the fun? That's her specialty!

After walking northeast for more than a hundred meters, a three-way road appeared ahead.Luo Qianhuai stepped on the middle one without hesitation - because there were many people coming from all directions and taking this road.

She followed the flow of people and came to a very vast platform.The platform is more than [-] meters long and wide, and is paved with white marble. The middle is divided into dozens of squares by fences. It looks like a small arena for martial arts competitions.

Directly north of the white jade platform is a grandstand with multiple tables and low couches.On the west side of the stand, there was a large tent set up, surrounded by airtight walls, and it was unknown where it was.

The entire white jade stage was now bustling with hundreds of people.Luo Qianhuai's eyes couldn't help but cast his eyes to a corner where the largest number of people gathered. From time to time, people squeezed in and squeezed out. Whether they were going in or coming out, their faces were full of anticipation and excitement.

She couldn't suppress her curiosity and walked towards the crowd.The golden fox mask stood out among the crowd. Wherever it went, the crowd automatically moved away, revealing a large table in the middle.

There were more than ten signs on the table, all with names and odds written on them. There were already a lot of gold and silver items placed below - it was clearly a gambling game.

Unexpectedly, in such a secret valley, in such a rigorous organization, we can see such a down-to-earth gambling game.

Not only that, she also recognized the person in charge, it was Wei Lan who she had spent a lot of effort to save.

At this moment, Wei Lan was not as cold and ruthless as in the dream, with a smile on his handsome face:

"Wei Lian, do you also want to come and play? Here are the popular candidates for today's competition. You can choose from them!"

When Luo Qianhuai looked carefully, he saw that among these seeded players, there were a few who were the most promising, and the money they had bet on their names had been piled high, and some people were constantly adding bets.

"Fire one pays one point and two, Sun three pays one point and five Wind five, one pays two point one." She read the odds and suddenly her eyes narrowed: "Why is there still six?"

Wei Lan smiled and said: "Isn't it? You also came from the upper three guards. I know how difficult it is to see you take action - right now there is no one in the two guards of heaven and earth, and there is only one person in the human guard. When I was reporting on her work in the valley, I heard that the leader of the People’s Guard had high hopes for her, so he was pointing his fingers at her to get her grades!”

"By the way, Wei Lian, you were also a member of the Human Guard before. Do you know anything about Ren Liu?"

When he asked, many people immediately surrounded her and kept asking with bright eyes: "Master Wei Lian, are you familiar with Ren Liu?"

"This is the first time for Ren Liu to participate in the competition. Whether it is a dark horse or a black pig, we have no idea!"

"Lord Wei Lian, please reveal a little bit about what weapons and martial arts Ren Liu is good at, and what about his literary talent and intelligence? If you win the bet, I will give you a share!" "Yes, I have spent all my savings over the years. If Ren Liu is reliable, then I will put all my money on her. Of course, Master Wei Lian’s benefits will definitely be indispensable when the time comes!”

"This, haha." Luo Qianhuai faced everyone's eager eyes and sold Ren Liu without hesitation: "We haven't seen each other for a long time, but she is good at using daggers, and her kung fu is delicate and feminine. He is very scheming and is used to doing things secretly. Once you encounter him, you must be especially careful."

As Luo Qianhuai spoke, he noticed that everyone was listening very carefully, and some people were taking notes on bamboo slips with knives and pens. He couldn't help but laugh: "Can you also introduce to me the situation of these popular players?"

"That's natural!"

These people talked to each other and explained the rules of the competition to several seed players.

The nine guards of Lushuang camp are divided into three: upper, middle and lower, namely heaven, earth and people, sun, moon, stars and water, fire and wind.

Among them, the upper three guards are responsible for lurking espionage, the middle three guards are in charge of escorts, and the lower three guards are in charge of fighting against enemies.

Among these people, only the top three guards wore masks when they appeared. The middle three guards and the bottom three guards showed their true colors without any need to cover up.

Because of the different division of labor, the competition is not mainly about martial arts, but is divided into two categories: martial arts competition and literary competition, with the combined results being the final result.

The former top and second seeded contestants Huo Yi and Ri San were extremely outstanding among the Nine Guards in terms of their kung fu. What was rare was that they were both literate, resourceful, and quite prestigious in the Lushuang camp.

Ren Liu's high popularity is purely due to the mysterious light of San Wei. No one knows what his true abilities are.

Some other popular people, such as Water [-], Sun [-], and Moon [-], all have their own specialties. They are either good at hidden weapons, swordsmanship, or strategy. In short, they are not ordinary people.

Seeing that the time for the competition was getting closer, Wei Lan did not bother to greet Luo Qianhuai anymore, but jumped on the table and shouted loudly: "Betting will stop in a quarter of an hour, brothers who want to place bets and raise bets." Sisters, hurry up and seize the time!"

"I am the big brother who suppresses the fire, and I am a golden cake!"

"Three winds, two golden horseshoes!"

"On the third day of the month, a pair of white jade rings!"

"Sixth person, a gold hairpin!"

In an instant, the table was covered with dazzling gold and silver jewelry, which pierced Luo Qianhuai's eyes, making her realize that she was too short-sighted to see money at all.

If she didn't follow up the next bet and make a fortune, she would definitely regret it and be so heartbroken that she couldn't sleep.But if you want to make money, you must find a dark horse with high odds. If the odds of a favorite are too low, it will definitely not work.

But among the unpopular candidates with higher odds in front of us, which one can become a dark horse and stand out?Just as she was thinking this, she suddenly heard the system prompt:
"It has been detected that the host has an urgent desire to find shortcuts. The shortcut system version 1.1 is happy to serve you!"
