Her breathing was heavy and laborious, lacking the silence and gentleness of control. She seemed tired, and even when she was lying on her side, her neck hung limply and limply. If it weren't for the fact that I had just heard her voice, looking at the current description, I would have felt that this person was dying.

Her posture didn't move, but her voice came slowly, and she heard a trace of ethereal following the wind that could not be gathered in the pavilion, "Ye Gongzi, you are very quiet." ”

Chiba stared at her weak neck and lowered her voice, as if whispering, "I'm afraid of disturbing Madame." ”

Mrs. Yu Hua chuckled lowly, and the voice was subtle. It seems to be joyful, it seems to be mocking, and it seems like nothing.

"Ye Gongzi, I received your gift, you have a heart." She raised her hand slightly and motioned for Chiba to sit on the stone bench opposite her, "I'm too tired to move, but I want to watch you talk." ”

She explained slowly until Chiba sat down. Chiba looked at Mrs. Yuhua quietly, her back was lazy, but her face was very delicate. Not only is the makeup on, but the makeup is very thick. Fine eyebrows, closed eyes, plump red lips. She said she wanted to watch Chiba talk, but she didn't open her eyes all the time.

"Madame, you're tired."

Mrs. Yuhua snorted, "But I can't sleep, so you can talk to me, but I don't have the strength to say, you can say it." ”

Chiba seemed to be particularly patient, "What does Madame want to hear?" ”

"Thirty-five thousand taels." She smiled, "Let's just say this, it's not a small amount, and the winning process must be very exciting." ”

Chiba said: "Wasn't Madame in the gambling house last night?" Thinking about the process, someone has already told Madame in detail, so what Madame wants to hear is why I can win, right? ”

Mrs. Yu Hua nodded, "Young Master Ye, do you know why I am still talking to you when I am so tired?" For thou art a wise man, and thou art wise to talk to them, and thou hast relieved thy need. ”

"Then in order not to make Madame too tired, I will pick the important part and say it." Chiba's gaze slowly slid over Madame Yuhua's heavily coated face, landing on the slightly raised veinline on her neck.

"The key to this game is on the guy who ran the hall in the banquet building opposite the gambling house around the square, I noticed that he would pull guests and pass on the news to the gambling house around the game, so I used him and asked him to reveal it to the casino, even if the casino is out of a thousand, it doesn't matter to me, because I have the certainty of winning."

Mrs. Yuhua muttered, "Sure of victory? It's really interesting, even if you have a thousand opponents, you can still win, well, I think anyone will be quite curious, and at the same time, they will be doubly observant and pay attention to your every move. ”

"As my wife said, when people in the gambling house pay attention to me, I win all the way, small wins, not much money in a game, even if I lose, it doesn't matter, but I always win. According to what I said to the guy who ran the hall before, I told him that the person around me who could let me win, so I believe that in the process of winning along the way, all the actions of me and my people will not escape the eyes of everyone in the gambling house. Originally, the most thief in this line of work was eyesight, and I didn't have to worry about it at all. After they became more and more sure of my methods and routines as the gambling game increased, they took the initiative to propose a bet on my wife. This kind of provocation is bound to be unbearable if a man can't swallow this breath, so I naturally accepted the gamble of the fifth son. ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Yuhua's eyelashes trembled, and she seemed to want to open her eyes, but in the end she still didn't. She controlled herself from closing her eyes, nodded, and motioned for Chiba to continue.

"The fifth son's gamble is a best-of-three game, and he didn't use one game to decide the winner, which is something I expected. He needed to test for himself what they had just guessed. It's too risky to play a game, after all, it's 10,000 taels if you lose, not 100 taels if you play. In the first game, I let the fifth son win, because I gestured with my people first, but the fifth son had to guess first. He's so arrogant that he takes it for granted that I let him go, but he's already in my game. He won, and he decided that he had debunked my trick, so I won the second game, and although he was angry, he only thought it was my luck. In fact, at this point, he has already lost because he has committed a big taboo of gambling. ”

"A big no-no for gambling? What is it? ”

Knowing that Mrs. Yuhua couldn't see it, Chiba still smiled slightly. The wind ruffled his hair and swept across his young and beautiful face, "The idea of tying victory or loss to luck is equivalent to throwing the sword in your hand to the enemy and sticking your head over it." ”

Mrs. Yu Hua smiled lowly again, and seemed to be in a good mood, "But I heard that the price of losing is not 10,000 taels. The fifth prince gambled with you, and you asked for one of the five sons' hands, and the five sons hated you for being arrogant, so they changed the bet and asked you for a pair of hands. Ye Gongzi, you gambled a bit big, what if you lose? ”

Mrs. Yuhua slowly stretched out her hand to Chiba as she spoke, and Chiba understood, but did not refuse, so she sat down on her side and reached out to hold her hand. He seemed to inadvertently catch Mrs. Yuhua's pulse, but Mrs. Yuhua touched his hand wantonly, "You don't need to look at it to know what a beautiful pair of hands these are, if the hand is gone, what a pity." ”

Chiba said: "From the moment the fifth prince changed the bet, he has been angered by me. A person who can't control his emotions at the gambling table is not far from losing, because he has given up thinking calmly. ”

"Hmm." Mrs. Yu Hua curled the corners of her lips and nodded, "What you said is true, go on." ”

"I won the second game, and the fifth prince not only attributed me to good luck, but more importantly, he felt that I guessed this game first, so he would win if he had the upper hand. In the third game, the person who chooses the first guess by the gambling house is actually a routine of the gambling house to make a thousand, because the people in the gambling house will definitely give the opportunity to the fifth son. The fifth prince had a bottom in his heart, so he didn't pay attention to the person who was shaking the dice from beginning to end, but focused on the person who was gesturing with me. He didn't give up, he wanted to prove that he had cracked my secret, he was very persistent and didn't give up on that idea because of the blow in the second game. In fact, it is normal to think this way, just like those gamblers, who always think that they can turn over in the next game, this idea is deep-rooted, and it will not be affected by the failure of the previous game at all. ”

"What did you do in the third game?"

Chiba shrugged, "What else can I do, the fifth prince has taken advantage of all the favorable time and place, I have no choice but to lie to him." ”

Mrs. Yuhua was amused by Chiba's helpless aggrieved tone, and her shoulders trembled slightly for a moment, "You...... Go ahead. ”

"As I just said, the fifth prince must be staring at my people, so my people have an anxious look on their faces, and he can see it clearly. He understood that my people had understood the secret of the gesture between us, and he knew that my people were secretly reminding me, so when I made the opposite gesture to the previous game, he thought that I was deliberately using the opposite code to mislead him, and he thought that we were cheating, so we discussed whether it was small, and he chose the big one instead. He thinks he is smart, but in fact he is clever but he is mistaken by cleverness. ”

Mrs. Yuhua was silent for a long time this time, and then she said, "That's the case...... The fifth prince is not such an impatient person, it's a pity. ”

"In the last such an important game, but playing a sign that is completely opposite to the previous winning game, it is obviously a losing gesture, no matter how careful the fifth prince is, he will not believe that there is such a madman in this world. With a pair of hands, who will deliberately lose to the other? There must be fraud in this, in fact, he thought so, and he was right. ”

Hearing Chiba say this, Mrs. Yuhua's expression finally changed, her red lips moved, but she didn't say anything in the end.

Chiba continued: "Actually, my maid also played a role in fueling the trouble. ”

"Oh?" Mrs. Yu Hua was interested: "What kind of method is fueling the troubles?" ”

"After I chose the small, she changed her words and said that she would choose the big. Her magic not only frightened the fifth prince, but also forced him to be more determined that his choice was absolutely correct. My maid originally had no intention, she was just afraid that I would lose my wife, but the fifth prince listened to the heart, so he urged the gambling house to open the dice plate immediately, and the result was naturally a certainty. Speaking in detail, this defeat was caused by the fifth prince himself. ”

Mrs. Yu Hua clapped her hands slowly, and then sighed, "It's really more wonderful than Mr. Storyteller's story, it's worth it for me to spend so long listening to it." But didn't Ye Gongzi plan to ask for the fifth prince's hand from beginning to end, and he was originally running for money? I asked Rong Yue to go last night, in fact, I am not sure that I can stop you, you came prepared, you have the courage and strategy, I really want to get to know you, but why do you want to sell my face? ”

Chiba smiled before saying, "Since the fifth prince can cover the sky with one hand in the gambling houses around, he must have an extraordinary background. He himself was sure that even if he lost, he would give me 10,000 taels at most, and he firmly believed that I would not dare to cut off his hand. And when I first came to Beizhao, why did I have to offend the fifth prince and the people behind him? The fifth prince wants to keep his hand, and I have a chance to win more than 10,000 taels, why give up? ”

"You didn't answer my question, Ye Gongzi." Mrs. Yuhua said slowly: "Thirty-five thousand taels, it is indeed not a small amount of money, ordinary people are estimated to be crazy, but Ye Gongzi, you are different from those ordinary people, just by what you did last night, you are not an ordinary person, thirty-five thousand taels, you can't look at it." ”

"I thought that when Mrs. received the Yehua Cup last night, she had already guessed it." After Chiba finished speaking, he gently took Mrs. Yuhua's pale hand and slowly printed a kiss.

Feeling the slight tremor of the veins under her thin skin, the corners of Chiba's mouth hooked.

Mrs. Yu Hua's eyelashes fluttered for a moment, and finally she slowly opened her eyes. She closed her eyes for a long time, and when she opened them suddenly, she only felt that her eyes were bright. In fact, she had a glimpse of Chiba last night, although it was just a glimpse, but it was also a good aftertaste. At this moment, he was close to the collapse, and the wind in the pavilion brought him to his white clothes, lined with black hair, and that face, so dusty, so young, so surprising. The son who was talking about those tricks just now, looked up at such a handsome and immature young man.

She slowly raised her hand and gently hooked Chiba's chin, "Ye Gongzi, when I first saw you, I really wanted to say a word, but I think there are so many women who have said this to you that you are bored, I don't want to say such vulgar words, so you will soon forget, and you will not remember it at all." ”
