Shang You sent an elder envoy this time. Upon hearing Hua Ruge's question, he said calmly: "I challenge the Great Zheng with a wager of fifteen cities. I wonder if Great Zheng would dare to accept?"    

    

When he said this, the people present were a bit astonished. Did he really come to issue a challenge?    

    

While Hua Ruge was pondering, his eyes swept across Shang You's seating area, and he saw Emperor Xie You and Su Yingxue, who was behind him, looking at him with hatred.    

    

She was startled for a moment. Everyone could clearly see the bad luck of Upper-Nether Realm, but from the looks of it, this father and daughter pair seemed to have blamed it all on her.    

    

Remembering what Su Yingxue had said earlier, she became even more certain of her guess. She didn't reveal it on the outside, but she had already made up her mind.    

    

The Upper Nether Realm would be a huge threat to his heart in the future.    

    

"If you wish to bet on me, Zheng, you can naturally accompany you. However, isn't this insignificant fifteenth city a bit too little?" Hua Ruge chuckled, and asked casually.    

    

Upper Nether Envoy did not expect Hua Ruge's appetite to be so huge, and was slightly stunned.    

    

In fact, other than him, the people on the field were also a bit out of sorts.    

    

"I wonder how much Lord of The Wah wants to bet?" the emissary asked grimly.    

    

Hua Ruge smiled as he analyzed the situation, "Currently, there are only twenty-eight cities in the entire Upper Nether Realm. Regardless of whether this match is won or lost, there doesn't seem to be much of a difference, so if we want to play, we might as well play big."    

    

The envoy was waiting for her to state the exact numbers, but in the end Hua Ruge said, "I want to discuss this with His Majesty.    

    

The envoy could only nod.    

    

Hua Ruge turned around with a smile and walked to the front of the Great Zheng Emperor and spoke: "Your Majesty, this subject has a suggestion."    

    

The Great Zheng Emperor looked at Hua Ruge uncertainly and said, "Go ahead."    

    

Seeing the two of them talking, Tuoba Yu hurried over to the front row, afraid that the two of them would clash with each other.    

    

While the discussion was going on, the messenger also returned back to the Emperor of Upper Nether Realm's side. He also asked Hua Ruge to tell him how much he could take out if he were to raise the chips for him.    

    

Seated in the upper seat, the Young Master Wu Hen chuckled and said, "It seems like there's going to be a good show again, do you want to make a bet?"    

    

"It's rare for the Young Master Wu Hen to be interested, so this king will naturally accompany you." Tuoba Rui's expression remained indifferent.    

    

There was a huge difference in the popularity of the two, but neither could compete with the other.    

    

"Battle King's bet that we lost last time has not been fulfilled yet?" Young Master Wu Hen smiled warmly.    

    

Tuoba Rui's expression was still very calm: "You know, I won't give her to you."    

    

"To be honest, I'm sorry." Although he was speaking these words to Tuoba Rui, his gaze did not leave Hua Ruge, who was speaking to the Great Zheng Emperor from afar.    

    

Tuoba Rui looked in that direction and said: "If you truly love her, then respect her decision."    

    

"Who would want to hurt such a woman?" Young Master Wu Hen replied indifferently.    

    

Tuoba Rui was relieved. If the Young Master Wu Hen was truly unscrupulous, then he was not confident that he could win.    

    

"But you have to be careful. If one day you hurt her, or if she doesn't like you anymore, I will take her away immediately." Young Master Wu Hen added.    

    

It was rare for him to say such threatening words. When he said them, he did not have the slightest bit of power on his face, and his expression was more filled with loneliness and helplessness.    

    

The two of them had tacitly agreed to be together.    

    

And only he knew how much love and separation there was in this acquiescence.    

    

Tuoba Rui was startled by these words, and said: "After so many years, this is the first time I've seen you concede.    

    

"There is always someone who can change your mind. After meeting her a few times, I have fallen for her pure and simple nature. I don't want anyone to destroy this purity, including myself."    

    

Young Master Wu Hen could not help but say. He did not expect that the first time he would reveal his thoughts would be because of his love rival.    

    

Tuoba Rui nodded when he heard her, and looked at her from afar: "Indeed, she's worth everything that's best."    

    

Hua Ruge's personality was pure, she loved and detested, and she was good at scheming, but in her heart, she was kind and magnanimous, as if she was the existence that lived under the sun and would forever shine, making others unable to forget her.    

    

After Hua Ruge and the Great Zheng Emperor communicated with each other, under the nervous gazes of the people from Great Zheng, Hua Ruge once again walked up the stage.    

    

Shang You's messenger also stepped onto the stage, his face had a cold look, and said: "How is the Lord of The Wah discussing?"    

    

"Since you want to play, then let's just stimulate them a bit. I, Dazhou, will take out 28 cities and bet on your lands of Upper Nether Realm. How about it?" Hua Ruge opened his mouth wide.    

    

Everyone present took in a breath of cold air. Although they had discussed it for so long with Hua Ruge and the Great Zheng Emperor, they had still managed to guess a thing or two.    

    

However, hearing that Hua Ruge, a sixteen year old girl, had casually mentioned the wager on these twenty-eight cities, the impact on him was not ordinary.    

    

High Emissary You's eyelids jumped up and down. Behind him, all of them had the same expression on their faces.    

    

Although Emperor Upper Nether Realm had promised to make a gamble, it was worth it.    

    

Hua Ruge swept his gaze across the faces of the crowd present at Upper Nether Realm and noticed a strange expression flash past the eyes of the Emperor. She had already disappeared before she even had the chance to capture him.    

    

She secretly kept her eyes open as she thought about what cards the Upper Nether Realm might have up their sleeves.    

    

This was because Upper Nether Realm had exhausted all of their elite troops after three battles, and Hua Ruge still had the barbarian army and the elite troops that Da Zheng had not lost.    

    

But it was strange that they did not seem to think about it at all.    

    

Finally, the representative said: "It is not impossible for me to bet with You Qing's entire country. It is just that, for Lord of The Wah to lead the barbarians to compete, isn't that a bit unfair?"    

    

"The Gambling Competition does not rely on their own ability. It is only natural that it would be fair for me to use an army that I created using my own ability to participate in the battle." Hua Ruge sarcastically replied.    

    

None of the Gambling Competition s said that the other races could not participate.    

    

"Lord of The Wah does not need to use words and words. His Majesty can agree to let us gamble with all the people in the country. There is only one condition, and that is that Lord of The Wah will not use the barbarian army." The envoy threw out the final request of the Upper Nether Kingdom.    

    

"What qualifications do you have to make such a request? What if I don't agree?" Hua Ruge raised his eyebrows slightly.    

    

"Then we can only cancel this bet." The envoy said again.    

    

Hua Ruge scoffed, "Who do you think is willing to bet with you?"    

    

She walked back without a pause.    

    

However, the Great Zheng Emperor shook his head at her. The allure of the twenty-eight cities was just too great, even if they had to give Hua Ruge all of their lands as feudal fiefdom, he had to expand his own territory.    

    

Hua Ruge stopped in his tracks as he thought about it. The temptation this time was indeed a little big, and the strength of the You Army was obviously not as strong as Great Zheng's. If they were to deploy properly, winning would not be a problem.
