Luo Chuan smiled and shook his head, "It's just a matter of playing casually." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

The man asked, "Brother, where is this pressure?" ”

Luo Chuan pushed the chips to the top. Seeing his move, more than half of the people at the table followed him and pressed down.

Dense beads of sweat appeared on the banker's forehead, he opened the sic bo, and said: "Five, six, three, big, eat small and lose big." Now everyone's eyes on Luo Chuan have changed. In just three rounds, he multiplied his chips eightfold, and either he was lucky, or he was a master, a master who could listen to the dice.

The dealer put the sic bo on the table again, and everyone looked at Luo Chuan. I saw him pick out 20% of the chips and put them on the big one. So a bunch of people followed and pushed the chips to the top. The dealer opened the sic bo: "Two, three, one, eat big and lose small." ”

Luo Chuan said disappreciably: "It seems that good luck has run out." The gamblers who followed him all beat their chests and regretted not being at the beginning. Then he made a few more bets, winning and losing.

Suddenly, there was a commotion at the door of the gambling house, and a group of seven people walked in. The leader of the man was lightly robed and wore slowly, and his expression was very chic. The five people who followed him were his subordinates or retinues, and one was a courtier from the pawnshop just now. The owner of the gambling house personally came out to greet him and said, "General Li is rare to have Yaxing coming, please come in, do you want to gamble today?" ”

General Li smiled: "That's not necessary, this official is here to find someone." ”

The owner of the gambling house said, "Yes." I wonder who General Lee is looking for? ”

General Li looked at the pawnshop and ordered, "Go and see where they are." ”

Na Chao Feng answered, walked into the gambling house, and soon found Luo Chuan, who was betting on dice. General Li walked in, first looked at Zhu Qingheng who was hiding behind Luo Chuan, and then said to Luo Chuan, who was aware of the court, and stopped looking at them: "This young man, I don't know if I can take a step to speak?" ”

Luo Chuan smiled and said: "Brother Tai is in such a position, how can I say the word 'no'." ”

General Li said: "Naturally, I don't dare to force the young man. ”

Luo Chuan said: "Okay, then don't go." Then he turned around and placed his bets.

General Li was not annoyed when he heard this, but how dare the dealer continue, and persuaded: "This prime minister should go with General Li." ”

Luo Chuan was silent, but General Li said: "It doesn't hurt for Xianggong to gamble a few more." ”

Luo Chuan was very surprised in his heart, and sighed: "That's it, that's it, don't gamble." ”

He went out with the general, went to the door, threw the chips to the shopkeeper, and said, "Help me change them for silver." ”

The boss smiled, "That's easy to say." He quickly handed over the money.

Luo Chuan, Zhu Qingheng and General Li went to a teahouse not far away, the three of them sat down, General Li took out the jade pendant that had been pawned before, and said, "This jade pendant belongs to two people?" ”

Luo Chuan said slowly: "Not bad. ”

General Li looked at Zhu Qingheng and said, "Then this must be Miss Zhu." ”

Zhu Qingheng's face turned pale when he boarded, and Luo Chuan smiled: "Oh? The general knows my girl? ”

General Li said: "Zhu San's master set a marriage for the girl and the only son of the Yingwu Marquis Ling Weiling more than half a month ago," he saw that Zhu Qingheng's face became very strange, and he wondered, "What?" I wish the girl didn't know about this? Also, it's normal for a girl to be young and not know. He pushed the jade pendant over and continued, "This jade pendant is one of the tokens, not long after the court went to the pawnshop just now, I don't know the sign of the Yingwu Marquis Mansion. Or the big shopkeeper came back, found the bat engraved on the back, recognized it as something from the Hou Mansion, and hurriedly sent someone to the Hou Mansion to inquire, and the general knew that the girl might have come to Luoyang. The general's face was not empty, so he let him come down to pick up the girl. ”

Zhu Qingheng said slowly: "Daddy never mentioned this to me before his death. Does the general have any credentials? ”

General Li said: "Ling Zun had a lot of correspondence with the general during his lifetime, and there was also a letter of appointment and the girl's Nian Geng eight characters for the engagement. If the girl doesn't believe it, she will find out when she goes to the Hou Mansion. ”

Zhu Qingheng said: "Marquis Ling also knows about my family?" ”

General Li said, "Yes." When the general learned of this, he heard that the name of the girl was not on the death list of the yamen, so he immediately sent someone to pick her up, but no one was found. I didn't expect the girl to have such courage to come to Luoyang by herself. ”

Zhu Qingheng nodded, and the mystery in his heart became more and more unsolvable. She knew that she had to go to the Hou Mansion no matter what, so she turned her head and asked Luo Chuan, "Brother Luo, are you willing to accompany me to the Yingwu Hou Mansion?" ”

Luo Chuan has always been insensitive to trouble. But he felt that he owed Zhu Qingheng a life, although Zhu Qingheng told him a bunch of lies, he was not very angry in his heart, but worried about Zhu Qingheng's situation. Seeing that her eyes were full of pleading, he sighed softly in his heart and nodded.

Zhu Qingheng held his hand and couldn't help but say, "Thank you." ”

General Li said: "Haven't asked this young man how to call him?" ”

Luo Chuan said: "In Xia Luochuan, it's just a nobody." ”

General Li said with a smile: "I think Luo Shaoxia is very powerful, and he will have some achievements in time." By the way, I don't know how the two met? ”

Zhu Qingheng said: "I met a bad guy on the road and almost died, but it was Brother Luo who saved me." ”

General Li was full of gratitude, and actually stood up to make a gesture to Luo Chuan, Luo Chuan hurriedly stood up to support him, and said, "What is the general doing like this?" General Li said: "I wish the girl is the fiancΓ©e of Ling Gongzi, Mengluo Shaoxia's great kindness, how can I not be grateful to Shaoxia." Luo Chuan smiled faintly: "Miss Zhu and I are like brothers and sisters, the two of us support each other along the way, and the general doesn't have to thank me for this." ”

General Li said: "Luo Shaoxia is noble. Thinking about the exhaustion of the journey, both of them are tired. Let's go home with me, rest and freshen up. ”

Zhu Qingheng and Luo Chuan glanced at each other and nodded.

Outside the teahouse, sedan chairs and horses have been parked. Zhu Qingheng sat in the sedan chair and was lifted by four sedan chair drivers. She looked out of the screen window and saw Luo Chuan riding on a horse with a calm expression, although he was wearing a dirty and torn blue cloth coat, he was more extraordinary than General Li next to him. saw Luo Chuan "ah", frowning and looking at a girl in a pink shirt on the street. Zhu Qingheng didn't know what was going on, so he heard General Li laugh and said, "Why is Luo Xianggong so puzzled." In the past, Pan An went to the street, and the old woman threw the car full of fruits. Which of the young men in Luoyang City got the girl throwing melons and fruits, and he couldn't boast about it all day. Luo Xianggong didn't want to throw it back again. ”

Luo Chuan was a little puzzled: "There is still such a thing?" As he spoke, another girl threw a flower at him, and he caught it steadily, looking at the woman who threw the flower. The woman was about twenty-eight years old, and her appearance was very delicate, and when she saw Luo Chuan catching her flowers, her pretty face was dizzy, and she became more and more delicate. So more and more women laughed and threw melons, fruits and flowers at Luochuan, and even General Li beside him was hit a few times. General Li smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect my bad old man to have this honor." The soldier next to him smiled: "I heard that the general also had this experience with Hou Ye when he was young." General Li smiled: "Which one did you listen to?" The general wasn't that handsome when he was young. The soldier said: "Qin Wu, that kid told me that Ling Gongzi and Hou Ye look like a mold carving." General Li said, "Listen to that kid's nonsense." The young master looks like a lady seven points, but his temperament follows the general. ”
