948: Chapter 948: Win and Split the Money (3) 948: Chapter 948: Win and Split the Money (3) âEagle fighting?â Yang Ruxin frowned, âFrom the black market?â
âWell, not exactly the black market, but a kind of game anywayâŠ
butâŠâ Hao the Fatty chuckled, âif you win, thereâs silver to be hadâŠ
Ruxin, if Xiaohei wins and we get the money, how about we split it seventy-thirty?
Iâll take thirtyâŠâ
Yang Ruxin raised her eyebrows slightly.
âHow about twenty-eighty then?
You get eighty, okay?â Hao the Fatty hastily upped his own cut, âOr I could just take ten percent, Ruxin, would that be okay?â
But Yang Ruxin just laughed, stepped forward, and patted his shoulder, âHeheâŠ
Sister isnât short of cash, so, no deal.â Then she turned and got on her carriage.
Xiaohei just cooed twice, then whoosh, soared into the sky; if Xinxin disagreed, there was nothing he could do, helpless in the matter.
âRuxinâŠâ Hao the Fatty hurriedly tried to pull Yang Ruxin back, but suddenly saw a treasure sword appear just above his wrist and quickly retracted his hand.
Shadow Three withdrew the treasure sword and then turned around, pulled the carriage forward, and with a crack of the whip, they were off and away.
âRuxin, letâs talk it over again,â Hao the Fatty muttered dejectedly, but his voice was so quiet even the servants standing nearby didnât hear him, let alone the already departed Yang Ruxin.
Dejected, he turned and got into his carriage, devoid of any mood for pleasure, and headed straight back to his residence.
But just as he reached the alley outside his own home, a carriage blocked the way.
âWhy have we stopped?â Hao Jian barked irritably.
âItâs Young Master Qinâs carriage, blocking the middle of the alley,â the coachmanâs voice came through.
Upon hearing this, Hao Jian immediately pushed open the carriage door and clambered out, âBeast, good dogs donât block the path.â
âHa ha, you cheap thing, I was waiting here for you,â Qin Shou hurriedly got down from his carriage, laughing, with a grey hawk perched on his shoulder, âWhat do you think?
I just spent a fortune on this âGreat General Grey Featherâ, handsome isnât it?â
Hao Jian curled his lip: âNot very?â Compared to Ruxinâs Xiaohei, itâs far inferior.
âHa haâŠâ Qin Shou wasnât offended, and instead burst into laughter, âYouâre just jealous, arenât you?
If youâre capable, get a better one!
Let me tell you, this âGreat General Grey Featherâ of mine just defeated Jiangâs âGeneral Snow Featherâ.
Iâll tell you, this yearâs betting for Champion Eagle King is definitely mine.
I need to remind you about our wager, you better get your silver readyâŠâ After bragging, he shook his head, which was as fat as Hao the Fattyâs, then turned and got back into his carriage and sped off.
âPah!â Hao Jian spat after the departing carriage, âPutting on airs for what?
The contest hasnât even begun, and you dare claim victory?
Dream onâŠâ
âYoung Master, his grey hawk just beat Lord Jiangâs white hawk, so this yearâs Champion is surely him, soâŠâ Which means he has every right to brag, for Lord Jiangâs white hawk was last yearâs Champion.
âAh!â Hao Jian sighed, âWhat to do then?
Where can we get one better than that Beastâs?â
âMaybe Young Master should just ask the Lord for ten thousand taels, otherwiseâŠâ
âGet lost!â Hao Jian roared, then turned and walked back, not even bothering with the carriage.
He had to find a way to borrow Ruxinâs black hawk; it wasnât just about the silver, but about pride.
He might be resigned to a mutual downfall with that fat Beast, but he absolutely couldnât lose to him.
