Chapter 19 The King of a Thousand Arts
Ziyu slept in the house after eating, and slept until the evening before getting up, and when she combed her hair with a comb, she was still in a trance, thinking about Xia Lanqiu's words over and over again, she was so shocked at that time that she didn't ask in detail, and she felt thrilling when she thought about it at this time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Xia Lanqiu got along with this person, and she slowly touched some of his temperament, if he provoked the conversation, he would definitely continue, but if you asked him badly, he would be suspicious.
She was holding a comb and was stunned, and Xia Lanqiu pushed the door and came in. This afternoon, I don't know where he went to hang around, and he seemed to be in a good mood. Seeing her combing her hair, she pulled out a white skirt from the box and gave it to her: "Wear this." ”
Ziyu was a little surprised: "Why? ”
"Pretty." He blinked, looking a little languid, "I like my wife to dress up a little better." ”
Ziyu pursed her lips and glared at him, but obediently got up and went to change her clothes. This is a lace princess dress with puff sleeves, Western-style court style, but Ziyu hasn't worn such luxurious clothes for a long time, but she is a little uncomfortable.
She braided her long hair from the top of her head and tied it up with two pins from her previous hairpins. Xia Lanqiu sat on the sofa by the window and read the newspaper. Azusa caught a glimpse of him in the mirror and asked, "What's the news?" ”
Xia Lanqiu replied lukewarmly: "There is no missing person notice." ”
Ziyu snorted coldly, and suddenly felt very unhappy in her heart. The Yun family lost their daughter and could only look for it secretly, where could they issue a missing person notice with great fanfare? He was clearly choking her with words!
Xia Lanqiu seemed to know what she was thinking, and poked her head out from behind the newspaper: "Don't be upset, at most we will return tomorrow." ”
Heading back tomorrow? Ziyu suddenly didn't have the heart to care about the ridicule in his words, and suddenly there was expectation in his heart.
Xia Lanqiu changed into a white suit and wore rose gold-rimmed glasses, looking quite foreign, gentle and elegant, no wonder she could be admired by many girls.
Ziyu suddenly asked, "You speak English so well, have you studied abroad?" ”
"Hmm." Xia Lanqiu raised her eyes to look at her, but the answer she gave was unexpected, "Russia." ”
Ziyu was stunned for a moment before laughing: "When you speak Russian, your brother must be inferior to you." ”
Xia Lanqiu nodded without humility: "Indeed, he won't at all." ”
Russian is very difficult to learn, and Ziyu once had a Russian classmate who had a gorgeous tongue pronunciation, and she didn't learn it for a long time. At that time, she always thought that men must be more cold and luxurious when speaking Russian, but she didn't know what kind of flavor this man with a voice as low and melodious as a cello would speak.
The evening was a banquet, and the people from all sides finally officially met, Zi Yu found that the organizer of this time turned out to be a wealthy businessman in Qianyang, but according to Xia Lanqiu's meaning, this rich businessman was just a puppet, and the people behind the scenes did not show up.
The casino is located on the fourth floor, and there is only one table tonight, and there is a win of five and three.
At this time, there were already three people sitting at the gambling table, a Donglai man with a Rendanhu and a wide kimono, and two foreigners. Ziyu was a little surprised that the Albert she saw during the day was also listed. Xia Lanqiu explained to her: "Albert's skills are good, but he won't play today. ”
"Not playing? Then why is he sitting there? ”
"He's waiting for someone."
"Wait for someone? Waiting for whom? As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Lanqiu patted her arm: "It's here." ”
It was a short, obscene old man, dressed in a black-and-gray cardigan, wearing a little melon-skin hat, and he was smoking a hookah in his hand. As soon as he entered the arena, Ziyu heard the sound of someone gasping behind him, and the atmosphere in the entire arena seemed to condense.
Ziyu whispered: "This person is very powerful?" ”
Xia Lanqiu hid the light in her eyes, and her voice was almost inaudible: "Fierce enemy!" ”
Originally, Ziyu looked at Xia Lanqiu with a confident look, thinking that he was sure of victory, but who knew that the person who didn't care about anyone actually called this old man a fierce enemy, which shows that this old man does have real skills.
Xia Lanqiu patted Zi Yu's hand on his arm: "Wait for me here, don't go far!" ”
Ziyu nodded, she couldn't read the game, but from the excited looks of the people around her, it could be seen that tonight's gambling game must be exciting.
It wasn't until Xia Lanqiu walked into the VIP gambling room with a transparent glass wall that a man followed and brought a suitcase in, opened the suitcase, and took out stacks of chips and put them in front of him. Ziyu realized that Xia Lanqiu came prepared this time, and she didn't just bring her alone, she was only on the surface, and there were many people in the dark.
At this time, chips were also put in front of everyone, and the four of them took turns to sit in the bank. Although Zi Yu does not know how to play, but he knows that from cutting cards, shuffling cards to rolling dice, the knowledge in this can be great, if the master wants to do tricks, there are hundreds of different methods.
As she watched intently, she heard a lively discussion buzzing around her. A voice behind him said, "Where did this kid surnamed Xia come from?" Dare to call a battle with the Thousand-Handed Divine Monarch! ”
Someone started to talk, and naturally someone responded: "I don't know, I heard that he came to bring his newlywed wife this time." I'm afraid of a gentleman who doesn't know the height of the sky, right? ”
"What nonsense, such an important thing, actually bring a girl!"
Another smiled and said, "But his wife is really beautiful, did you see it when you came in just now?" ”
The previous one took over: "Young man, the flesh is strong. The newlywed Yan'er's ......" was unbearable later, although the voice gradually lowered, Zi Yu still listened to the red face.
At this time, the cards inside ended a game, Xia Lanqiu came out on top, suddenly got up and walked towards her, and asked with a smile: "Do you want to try your luck?" ”
Zi Yu said: "I heard that the one in it is called the Thousand-Handed Divine Monarch? ”
"Well, that's what it's called."
Ziyu was surprised: "Isn't this the name of a thief?" ”
Xia Lanqiu laughed, and pulled the hair that fell from the side of her face behind her ears for her: "Thousand hands is not to say that he has many hands, but that he is fast when he is out of a thousand, and when others are not aware, he has already done it." ”
"Didn't you say that as long as you understand the door of life and death, you can win even if you don't know a thousand?"
"Make sure nothing goes wrong." Xia Lanqiu didn't seem to take this matter to heart at all, "You go play for a while, I'm a little tired." Even if you lose, it doesn't matter, three wins in five games, and you only need to win two more games in the future. ”
As he spoke, he really took Zi Yu's hand and walked towards the VIP gambling room.
Someone behind him said in a slightly higher voice: "Plaything is demoralized!" Xia Lanqiu turned a deaf ear.
