Chapter 11: A Big Gamble

In the midst of the fragrance, a long figure floated past like a willow in the wind.

Yue Xiqiang couldn't hold back the ** eyes that were about to sneeze, and his eyes were still staring at the two boys in front of him.

The two short, immature-looking dwarfs both had calloused hands, and although they both tucked their hands into their sleeves to cover them up, Yue Xi only glanced at them and still saw them clearly.

The two people who collected the money were better than the two dwarf kung fu standing at the door! And the other party has always looked like he is ready to go, which makes Yue Xi have to deal with it with all his strength.

"Our Jinge Pavilion is a place to have fun, of course, to spend money to have fun." The man who was overly fragrant in the afterglow opened his mouth, but the two boys standing in front of Yue Xi with a tray bent over: "Lord Jun! ”

"Let the two of you stand here to receive the silver of the bet, but you are holding a plate like a flower child asking for food, it is really a shame for me to lose the face of the Golden Pavilion......"

The two boys immediately turned white, and knelt on the ground at the same time: "The little slave is guilty!" ”

The murderous aura in front of her retreated, and the two people who were already short knelt on the ground again, even if she attacked Yue Xi at this time, she could guarantee that she would be able to kick them away with her current body, and only then did she slowly raise her eyes to look at the person who was constantly smoked with fragrance.

Yue Xi raised his eyebrows and met his gaze.

The man with the scent is a beauty.

It's just that now this beauty is very down, her hair is scattered, not to mention her clothes are messy. Rao is like this, he still looks pleasant, gently shaking a feather fan that has lost his hair, and does not lose the style of a beautiful son!

Yue Xi stared at the sole-like mark on his cheek and looked at it again, thinking that the scar would make him look more beautiful if the scar was gone.

The imperial capital in May is not very hot, the tall feather fan in his hand floated down one or two hairs from time to time with his gentle swaying, one of which hung in his hair with the wind, and the young man reached out and picked it up and put it on his lips to blow away: "Hair loss...... Bring me a new fan. ”

"Yes." There was a soft response from inside the room.

He was born with a happy appearance, and when his eyebrows and eyes were not smiling, he was crooked, and people couldn't help but like it.

He looked at Yue Xi, and Yue Xi was also looking at him, and then the two of them laughed in unison.

"The handsome and dashing jade tree of Wang Sheng in this county is in the wind, and people with eyes will think I'm beautiful when they see me!" He opened his mouth smugly, seemingly disapproving with Yue Xi's smile.

Yue Xi was still smiling, and four big words had clearly floated out of his mind: stinky and shameless!

"Lord of the County!" A man dressed as a steward with an expressionless face appeared out of nowhere, holding a snow-white goose feather fan in both hands.

"Hmm." He reached out and took it, and handed over the broken fan in his hand: "Thank you." ”

"King Xie Jun!" The steward took the fan with both hands and retreated silently.

"Oops......" The prince of the county took the new feather fan and shook it a few times, and then his eyes glanced at Yue Xi again. A pair of crescent-like phoenix eyes restlessly looked at Yue Xi from head to foot, and those eyes were like hooks, making people feel that they had seen you through just one glance......

The clothes on the noble son's body are luxurious and delicate, but now they have been torn in a few places, with the movement of the feather fan on his arm, from time to time a small piece of fine skin and tender flesh is exposed from the torn place, which makes Yue Xi want to tear the hole bigger again, so he simply let him expose it to be happy......

"Why do you think you have bad intentions when you look at the king of this county like this?" The prince frowned, and when he was angry, he also looked happy.

"Of course, I came to the Golden Pavilion for recreation, but if it is to entertain you, the prince, the grass people don't have the guts."

After the two looked at each other, Yue Xi smiled and said: "The prince came to greet the guests with such a fragrant shoulder, it can be seen that business is not all mixed, and I just looked at it twice." It's just that the banker's bet is not a clear bet, how? If you want to follow the prince, you can't drink soup behind you? ”

"Are you trying to kill me?" He had a smile on his face, and he pointed his fan at Yue Xi and said loudly: "The king of the county, the king of the county, you have to call me the prince of the county, don't mess with the title!" After speaking, he looked at Yue Xi again with a pair of good-looking eyes, stared at her face for a long time, and suddenly asked her, "How can I look at your face?" ”

'Ahh A sneeze went out, Yue Xi rubbed his nose, and tears came out: "I'm sorry!" Maybe it's too ordinary......"

"You're spitting all over your face!" The prince took a step back in disgust, raised his arm and wiped his face with his sleeve, and then gasped in pain: "Hiss! My mother is also really, she beats me if she can't beat my father, and she uses the soles of her shoes to pump ...... every time It hurts too much......"

He swaggered around with a shoe print on his face, not to mention that he was cold but painful, Yue Xi pursed his lips and endured it so that he didn't laugh: "If you have a new injury, you can apply cold water, and after twelve hours, you can use hot water, and you always have to disperse stasis to get better." ”

"Not bad, not bad!" The prince of the county put down his hand, and the eyes that looked at Yue Xi also became sympathetic: "As soon as you say it, the king of this county will know that you are often hit by the soles of your shoes!" ”

"There is no blessing." Yue Xi took it without smiling.

"I'll go change clothes first, and I'll settle accounts with you later!" As he spoke, the prince raised his foot and kicked the boy who was kneeling on the ground: "Look at them." ”

"Yes!" The two boys almost bounced up from the ground, sandwiching Yue Xi and Zheng Baocai in the middle, one after the other.

Seeing this sassy prince, the prince of the county turned around and walked towards the stairs on his left hand, and Yue Xi saw a large piece of bright and dazzling red on his buttocks! At first glance, it looks like a big aunt leaking......

No wonder the fragrance on his body can be smoked to death, it is estimated that he was first smoked by his mother and then ran away in time, and was smashed by the agile mother A few boxes of rouge gouache were smashed on his body!

Yue Xi shook!

Yue Xi shook his head and chuckled, looking around as if unintentionally, and walked towards the stairs on the right. took a step, and the boy in front of her was already blocked in front of Yue Xi like a door.

"Your county prince just said that you stopped us, and he didn't say that we can't walk around in this gladiatorial pavilion, what are you stopping me from?" Yue Xi raised his head and looked up, and said lightly.

The boy standing in front of her was stunned, and his eyes involuntarily looked behind her.

"Brother Zheng, have you been upstairs here?" Without waiting for the boy to say something, Yue Xi had already crossed him to the staircase, and walked up: "Didn't you say that every bet here costs a thousand taels, since we are here, we have to take a look." ”

"That's right!" Zheng Baocai, who had been a little overwhelmed since he entered the Consumer Gold Pavilion, seemed to remember that he was a character in front of people until this time, why did he become intimidated when he saw the owner here?

"Don't hide it from Brother Yue, the last time my brother came, he didn't enter through the front door, he followed a figure with a face to help, and he came once, and he gave me ten taels of silver!"

Yue Xi's calmness from beginning to end made Zheng Baocai feel ashamed of herself and admired her from the bottom of his heart: neither humble nor arrogant, this word is easier said than done! There are not many people who see big people who are not soft-legged and weak-hearted, my brother is one, this is the real man!

"The people of the Elimination Golden Pavilion are asking Brother Zheng for help?" On the second floor, you will find six compartments separated by carved screens, all of which are furnished in the same way: a couch and a desk.

Yue Xi walked over, entered the nearest cubicle, sat down on the couch, and only lowered his eyelids to see the empty space in the hall downstairs.

It turns out that the upper part is the place where the guests bet and have fun, and the downstairs is where the samurai gladiatorial battles are located.

"How can I need my brother's help here!" Zheng Baocai also walked into the cubicle, sat next to Yue Xi and whispered: "It was my brother who said that the martial artist brought by that character was interrupted by others, and asked me to bring two people to help collect the corpse and handle the funeral." ”

"Oh." Yue Xi responded casually, and the person had already bent down to tidy up his clothes.

She tucked the leg of her fat shirt into her footcoat, and then said without raising her head: "Brother Zheng, bring me your belt." ”

Zheng Baocai was just stunned, and then untied his belt and handed it to her.

Yue Xi stretched out his hand to take it, tore off the two long strips along the end, and replaced the narrowed strip of cloth with him: "Go back and let my sister-in-law make a new one." ”

"Wow, this works too." Twisting the cloth strip into a cloth rope, Zheng Baocai stood up and tied it on his waist.

Yue Xi stepped on a strip of cloth on the sole of her shoe, and crossed the two ends of the strip of cloth left and right on the surface of her feet to change her left and right hands, and then the strip of cloth crossed from her ankle again, and saw that the strip of cloth still had a surplus, so she spared back and forth on her calf a few times, and finally tied the knot and tucked the excess strap into the leggings.

Both legs were cleaned up in the same way, Yue Xi got up, dusted off the hem of the cheongsan on her body, she jumped on the spot a few times, feeling that her body was neat and neat, even if she tossed and moved her shoes, she sighed sickly: "Alas, I haven't moved for a long time, and I always feel that my muscles and bones are about to rust." ”

"Brother, what are you?" Seeing that Yue Xi's posture was about to make a move, Zheng Baocai suddenly became nervous, he involuntarily stood up, and touched around a few times, thinking that he could also pick up a guy in his hand when he started!

"It's fine. It's just a matter of being prepared. ”

Out of the compartment, Yue Xi walked around the second floor, and found that in addition to the compartment, the back row of houses were all closed doors, but there were no special furnishings.

But considering that it is all human life that is used for recreation here, and those who can use human life to seek excitement must be those evildoers with cold hearts, and it really doesn't make much sense to put superfluous things here.

The only thing that can interest these cold-blooded things is probably the screams of pain downstairs and the bloody fight!

"I'll just say, the person who can come to the gladiatorial pavilion at this point must be a troublemaker, if you want to have fun, who will come at this hour?"

At the end of the narrow corridor on the second floor, the door of a room opened, and Shi Shiran, the prince of the newly dressed county, walked out of it, followed by the steward who handed him a fan.

The long hair that was scattered was now tied in a white jade crown, and the hairpin of mutton fat jade of the same color lined his head full of love like ink!

The moon-white brocade robe with big sleeves supports the wind, and as he walks, it is like the wings of two white cranes dancing gently, and his posture is graceful along the way, which really responds to the sentence: the wind is flowing, and the actions are flowing!

The belt inlaid with beautiful jade tied his slender waist straight and neat, so he was very different from the down-and-out boy brother just now.

"How am I?" Noticing the smiling gaze in Yue Xi's eyes, the prince of the county asked a little smugly.

"Well, it's almost as pretty as me." Yue Xi nodded slightly.

"......" obviously didn't expect the other party to say such a thing, the prince of the county was stunned, and then pointed at Yue Xi with a feather fan and said with a smile: "There are not many such shameless people in this world, if you haven't been killed, the king of this county will invite you to have a drink!" ”

"Dare to ask the prince of the county, what if you don't want to fight?" Yue Xi said with a smile.

The prince shook his head while shaking the feather fan in one hand, and when he saw Yue Xi's dazzle, he said faintly: "When you enter the Golden Pavilion, you either keep your money or your life, and I will make money with my anger, and you can choose what you want to keep." ”

As he spoke, he beckoned behind him: "Steward, you tell them the rules of our place, master, I said too many things, and I will be tired to death......"

"Yes." The amiable man dressed as the steward immediately walked up and said to Yue Xi and Zheng Baocai kindly: "Gladiatorial Pavilion, if it is a gold bet, one bet of one thousand taels, you two bet at least two thousand taels." Otherwise, it can also be fought with the martial arts of the gladiatorial arena

The samurai of the gladiatorial arena fought in the last battle, each with his own ability, as long as the two of you can beat the martial artists in our hall to the point where they are unable to fight back, this door, the two of you can go out casually. ”

"Brother, this time it's my brother who cheated you." After a period of silence, Zheng Baocai said to Yue Xi in a deep voice: "How much ability my brother has under his hands, you know, I'll go first in a while, and it will take a while, if you are lucky enough to delay for a while, brother, you will save some effort if you make another move." ”

"As long as you can go out, brother, my brother only asks you for one thing: help me take care of my old father, and provide for him in his old age for me!"

"As for your sister-in-law......," he paused before adding, "she is still young, if she wants to go again, let her go again, there is only one thing, you have to leave my son behind!" That's my Zheng family's ......."

"Yes, yes! After you die, in the future, when your son is older, he can go to your grave and burn a piece of paper for you......" The prince of the county, who was standing aside and listening with relish, nodded and said.

Yue Xi glanced at him, then turned his head to Zheng Baocai and smiled: "It's not so strict." ”

"Alas!" Zheng Baocai, who had collected the body of the killed martial artist, smiled bitterly in despair: "Brother, don't you see how miserable the people who died here are, almost all the bones on their bodies are broken......"

"Yes, yes, the martial artist who came to my gladiatorial pavilion to fight martial arts must sign the life and death documents before the opening, if it is dead, our gladiatorial pavilion will also give a good coffin for nothing, which can be described as benevolence and righteousness!"

"Hey." The prince of the county, who was tired of talking, said again and then said to the steward of Wen Crepe: "Do you say that the lord is too good?" ”

"Not only the prince of the county, but also the old prince and our princess are all bodhisattvas." The steward bowed down and answered the Tao in a serious manner.

"Hmm." The prince nodded, reached out and touched his cheek, a hot pain came violently, he took a breath of cold air and realized that this was quite watery.

"In that case, don't waste time." This master and servant stared at him without changing his face and said nonsense without a beat, Yue Xi thought that it was unnecessary to listen, and then took the lead and walked downstairs: "Since it's playing, let's have fun......"

"Lao Tzu chooses both!"

"Huh?"

"What?!"

There were several exclamations behind him at the same time, and Zheng Bao hurriedly chased after him: "Brother, what do you mean by this?" My brother was confused......"

The prince of the county, who was behind the two, glanced at the steward, and the steward nodded, and also chased after him.

"What about me, bet two thousand taels, bet on myself to win!"

Standing in the middle of the hall downstairs, Yue Xi raised his head and looked at the county prince lying on the railing on the second floor: "Does the county prince gamble?" ”

"Bet...... Why don't you do business at home? The prince of the county pointed at Yue Xi with a feather fan and said, "Hurry up and give him the life and death documents, you can look at it and sign it!" ”

A table of eight immortals was carried over, with pen and ink on it, and the steward held two documents in his hand and put them on the table, and said with an expressionless face: "Two, please watch and sign again." ”

"Lao Tzu doesn't know a few big characters, he can only write his own name, dog's day, where to sign it!" Zheng Baocai took a deep breath, strode to the table, grabbed the brush and yelled at the steward.

It's just that she can't take care of things and speak, the two life and death documents on the table have been picked up by Yue Xi, and after she read them word by word, she snatched the dead brush he was holding from Zheng Baocai's hand, and said with a smile: "Brother Zheng, you and my brother, of course I will go first if there is something, you just need to press the field for my brother!" ”

"Huh?" Yue Xi raised his head again: "The two copies of Lao Tzu have been signed, and it will be done when the martial artists of the Gladiatorial Pavilion come up together, but, Lord Jun, you can also bet at least two copies of the silver!" ”

"That's it!" The feather fan in the hand of the prince of the county slapped heavily on the railing a few times, and he stared at Yue Xi with sparkling eyes and said word by word: "Steward, take the first two silver tickets out of the ......"

"Hmm." Yue Xi took out the silver ticket given by his daughter-in-law from his arms, looked at it, and said softly, "Don't change it for me yet." ”

"Done!" The prince of the county almost shouted upstairs: "If you bet on the five thousand taels, the lord will bet on the ten thousand taels......"

"Bet you lie in my gladiatorial coffin and get out!"

"Huh!" Yue Xi looked at him and smiled lightly: "Lao Tzu just crawled out of the coffin......"
