Chapter 155: Luck
Xia Chen took a long time before he came to his senses: "Wei Han, didn't you promise me to take care of him?" ”
Wei Han said: "He is bent on death, how can others see it?" ”
"But, but......" Xia Chen now doesn't know who she is to blame.
Wei Han said softly: "No matter what, his death can finally be explained by Xuanguo." Saying that, he sighed: "To be honest, he has been tortured so much, even if he lives, he is a waste." ”
Xia Chen remembered Zhantian, who was covered in blood, and suddenly raised his eyes to stare at him: "Why?" Why be so cruel! "The punishment in ancient times was so terrible, once you fall into prison, whether you are guilty or not, after an interrogation, most of this person will either die or be injured, it will be flesh and blood.
Wei Han said: "Whether he recruits him or not, it is a capital crime, how can the officials be merciful to his subordinates in a hurry!" ”
"Do you have humanity at all? I really don't know how many people have been beaten into tricks, and how many people have died unjustly in prison! ”
Wei Han looked helpless: "Chen'er! What does this have to do with me? Besides, Zhantian is an assassin after all, and he almost caused a war between the two countries for his own selfishness! ”
Xia Chen glared at Wei Han, what he said was right, but she just couldn't get over the threshold in her heart, just a few days ago Zhan Tian was still joking with her and arguing with him, and if he didn't come back to find him that day, he wouldn't be arrested.
"Chen'er, Chen'er." Xia Yarong's voice came from outside the door.
Xia Chen forcibly endured the chaotic mood and opened the door: "Sister Yarong, is there something wrong?" ”
Xia Yarong saw Wei Han kneeling on the ground: "Master Wei, my younger brother is about to be assigned to the border pass, can you let the escort take care of him on the way, he is still so young, and he has never suffered hardship." ”
Wei Han glanced at Xia Chen: "Chen'er, what do you mean?" ”
Xia Chen gave him a fierce look, and asked in front of Xia Yarong, how do you want her to answer! "If you have a solution, do it a favor."
Wei Han nodded: "Okay." ”
Xia Yarong thanked again and again, and took out a hundred taels of silver tickets: "That's all we have." ”
Xia Chen approached the silver ticket and handed it to Wei Han: "You can't ask someone to do things empty-handed." After that, he said to Xia Yarong: "I have something to do with Gongzi Wei and I want to go out, so you can rest assured about your cousin's affairs." For Xia Huaiying, Xia Chen doesn't have a good impression but he doesn't feel annoying, it can be said that he has no impression, and when he thinks of the life he will face, it is really enough for him.
Leaving Yue's Mansion, Wei Han asked curiously, "Where are we going?" ”
Xia Chen said angrily: "Go to the gambling house." ”
Wei Han said in surprise: "What are you going to do there!" ”
"Gambling, of course."
"What? Gambling? Hey, aren't you too stimulated! Wei Han blocked her way.
Xia Chen hooked his finger at him: "Come here, you have something stuck on your face." ”
"Where?" Wei Han touched his face and stepped forward suspiciously.
Xia Chen punched and struck: "I'm stimulated!" ”
Wei Han shouted while hiding: "I, I'm still injured." ”
Xia Chen saw him get out of the way and walked out directly, and Wei Han had no choice but to follow.
The doors of the cyclamen are always bustling with people, and once you enter the hall, the tables are full of people. You don't have to change chips here, whether it's silver, jewelry, jewelry, as long as someone approves it, you can use it as gambling money.
Xia Chen took a look at it, pai gow, dice, long cards, lots, and there was a group of fighting crickets in the corner, which was really full of tricks.
Wei Han was obviously not a thief but was very weak-hearted, he followed behind Xia Chen and whispered from time to time: "Chen'er, don't make trouble, this place is not for you, if you want to play, I will take you somewhere else." ”
Xia Chen glanced at him: "Long-winded! ”
Wei Han said: "If you have to gamble, let's go upstairs, it's too noisy here." ”
Xia Chen thought about it and nodded, she didn't even know how to play poker, let alone gamble, she just wanted to see it, and naturally she also had a kind of luck mentality, she felt that with her current hearing and eyesight, maybe she could figure out a little bit of the way in which method, but the hall was noisy, maybe the second floor would be quieter.
The reason why she wants to come to the gambling house is because she has always adhered to the creed that the wool comes out of the sheep and the way of deception is returned to the deceitful body, and since it is a gambling debt, it is best to win it back.
The second floor is much quieter, divided by a corridor into several small halls, or a long table or four small tables, judging by the dress of the guests, this upstairs is full of wealthy people.
The two looked at each other for a while, and Wei Han asked in a low voice, "How is it?" Try your luck? ”
Xia Chen frowned: "Isn't there anything simple?" ”
Wei Han burst into laughter when he heard this: "Haha, it turns out that you don't know how to play, guessing odds and evens, guessing the size is simple, and you can play with silver and mouth." ”
"Of course I do, but I don't just want to play, I want to win."
Wei Han shrugged his shoulders: "How dare anyone say that they will win!" ”
"Shh Xia Chen motioned for him to be silent. Suddenly, she heard the cries of two crickets.
Wei Han asked curiously, "What did you hear?" ”
Xia Chen closed her eyes and cleared the distractions in her heart, the cry gradually became clearer, and she could even feel the vibration of the air. Listening to her, she found that the crickets of the two crickets were obviously different, one of them was high-pitched and bright, and the other was not weak, but it was high and low, obviously lacking confidence. "Follow me." She tugged at Wei Han's sleeve and ran to the room where the voice came.
There was a table of eight immortals in the middle of this hall, and there was a clay pot on the table, and more than a dozen people gathered around it and looked into the jar, and from time to time they danced and let out a low roar: "Bite it, bite it!" ”
"Oh, you're biting it!" That momentum just barely got in.
Xia Chen and Wei Han stepped forward, and a young man with a cricket grass in his hand glanced at them: "Do the two sons bet?" ”
Xia Chen shook his head: "Let's take a look first." ”
The young man nodded, teasing the cricket and said, "This bigger one is called General Black, and this smaller one is called General Tie." ”
Hearing this, Xia Chen whispered to Wei Han: "If Brother Yue heard the names of these two crickets, I don't know what his expression would be. ”
Wei Han couldn't help but smile and covered his lips and said, "Ming'er, if I have to catch a cricket and call it Major General Yue, I will definitely fight all over the world." ”
After a fierce battle between the two crickets, the small Iron General won, biting the black general into four ways to escape, and even the cry seemed so timid and frightened.
At this time, the light year went to a nearby hut, and after a while he took out two jars and put them on the table. He opened the jar and said, "The old rule, the big one is called General Hei, and the small one is called General Tie, you can start betting on Luo." ”
When Xia Chen heard this, he said in his heart that these people would really save trouble, and they could always use two names.
At this time, those gamblers took out their silver one after another: "Fifty taels bet on the iron general to win."
"I don't believe in this evil yet, and I still bet on the black general to win at thirty taels."
Xia Chen listened attentively for a while, and found that this black general was not as happy as General Tie, but the crickets of the two crickets were very loud.
Wei Han whispered: "Chen'er, you see which one will win." ”
Xia Chen thought for a while: "As the saying goes, there will be a dog that bites people and doesn't bark, I bet fifty taels on the black general to win." But the cricket is not a dog after all, and she only hopes that the iron general is indeed bluffing.
The young man put the two crickets in a jar and began to tease the two crickets with the cricket grass, and soon the iron general was provoked and rushed up to bite the black general. The black general did not counterattack, and jumped twice to dodge. Xia Chen frowned, and said in his heart, this black general should not be just a sick cricket! It can be heard that its cry is clearly and confident, and even the vibration of the air is more obvious than when the iron general called.
At this time, some people were sighing, some people were clapping their hands, and the young man said, "Is there anything to raise?" ”
"I'll add fifty taels, and bet on General Tie to win."
"I'll add a hundred."
Wei Han tugged at Xia Chen's sleeve: "The situation is not good." ”
Xia Chen said angrily: "Let's see." ”
Wei Han took out a silver ingot: "Twenty taels, bet on the black general to win." ”
Xia Chen glanced at him: "You are so stingy." ”
Wei Han touched his nose: "The Wei family has rules, I am already fully supporting you." ”
At this time, General Hei suddenly became powerful, rushed up and pinched General Tie, and the momentum seemed to say, if the tiger is not powerful, you really think I am a sick cat!
After only a moment's struggle, General Tie slipped up, and no matter how provocative the young man was, he refused to come forward.
"Oops! It's vulnerable! ”
"Damn, lost again!"
The young man finally announced that the black general had won this game, Xia Chen had won three hundred and twenty taels this time, and Wei Han had also won more than one hundred taels, which was terrible and they were so happy. Wei Han said: "Chen'er, these wins are enough for me to play two more games with me."
In the next five Xia Chen, he won each of them, and Wei Han certainly made a lot of money. In the sixth game, someone began to bet with her, she secretly stepped on Wei Han's toes, signaling him not to bet with herself, on the one hand, winning all the time will arouse suspicion, on the other hand, if everyone follows him to bet, although the casino has a loss, but the profit is much smaller.
Of course, Wei Han also understood, and he bet two hundred taels this time. As a result, Wei Han won more than a thousand taels, and Xia Chen lost a hundred.
The young man said, "Today's crickets are all gone, let's disperse." ”
Immediately someone objected: "How is that possible?" You said there were twenty pairs. ”
"That's it, I've lost more than 600 taels today, and I'm still waiting for a turnaround."
The young man glanced at Wei Hanse: "Childe is lucky." Earned a lot, right? ”
Wei Han looked at him with his arms around his shoulders: "I didn't expect my luck to be so good." ”
Someone asked curiously: "I can't see that Childe is actually a master in this, and he wins everything." ”
Wei Han said: "It's only been six or seven rounds, maybe I'll lose the next game!" ”
The young man said, "I'll open one last game." ”
"How about a game, you won't play at this time, let's sit until dawn?"
Xia Chen smiled faintly: "What?" What if the big cyclamen can't afford to lose money? Or do you think someone is cheating? You're the only one who has ever touched these jars. ”
The young man said: "Of course not, everyone wait a minute, I'm a little anxious, let's continue." "He has to ask for instructions on this matter, he really didn't see what these two people have done, and the crickets are also the most unlikely to be out of the old thousand, why will these two people keep betting, is it really luck?
Wei Han didn't understand why Xia Chen could guess which cricket would win, but he knew that if he continued to gamble like this, it might cause unnecessary trouble. He whispered to Xia Chen: "Chen'er, it's not too early, let's accept it when we see it." ”
Xia Chen nodded: "Well, let's go after a little more play." At this time, if she left, she would be regarded as a thief, and in this game she decided not to listen to the crickets' cries anymore, just bet on one, and now she has won two thousand six hundred taels, although it is not enough to pay off the debt, but it is enough.
After waiting for a while and hearing the sound of the door curtain, Xia Chen turned his head to see that the young man had returned, and there was a woman in yellow with a beautiful face who came with him. The young man went to get the jar containing the crickets, and the woman in yellow came to Xia Chen and Wei Han to give a salute: "I heard that the two sons have excellent luck today, I wonder if you are interested in betting two big games with the little girl?" ”
Xia Chen raised his eyebrows slightly: "Small betting, we are just casually playing, and the big ones are exempt." ”
The woman in yellow smiled coquettishly: "Who doesn't want to win more?" Besides, you have to have fun, not to mention that the two sons have won so much, what does it matter if you lose a little?
Wei Han pulled the corners of his mouth: "I didn't expect there to be such a beautiful woman here, if it is a bet with you, it doesn't matter if you lose it all." ”
Xia Chen got angry when he heard this, this guy was in heat when he saw a woman with a bit of a look! "I said that if you give the silver directly to this girl, it will be settled, what are you gambling on!"
The woman in yellow covered her lips and chuckled: "The little girl is not meritorious, and the little woman also has a bit of gambling, if the son is willing to accompany the little woman to gamble for two games, it will be grateful." ”
Wei Han said: "Since the girl is interested, I will accompany her to the end." ”
The woman in yellow said, "Son, please come with me." As he spoke, he glanced at Xia Chen: "Are the two sons together?" ”
Xia Chen snorted: "Unfortunately, I am with him!" What do you want to bet on? ”
The woman in yellow owes herself: "Naturally, it's still a cricket, two please." Then he turned and walked out.
Follow the woman in yellow to a private room at the end of the second floor, and the woman in yellow told the maid to fetch two crickets, and then said to them, "Please sit down, please have tea." ”
Wei Han said: "It's really good here, and there is tea to drink." ”
The woman in yellow said: "There is not only tea, but also music." As he spoke, he took out a purple bamboo flute.
At this time, the maid came in with two jars and put them on the table to open them, and the woman in yellow said: "The two of us must know the rules here, the older one is called General Hei, and the younger one is called General Tie, and the two sons please bet first." ”
Xia Chen listened for a moment: "I bet that General Hei won, one hundred taels." ”
The woman in yellow smiled slightly: "The minimum bet in the previous room was ten taels, and the smallest bet in my room was one thousand taels." ”
Wei Han said with a smile: "Refreshing, I'll bet on 1,000 taels to bet on the black general to win." ”
Xia Chen didn't know what this woman was doing, so he smiled slightly: "I won't bet on this game." ”
The woman in yellow said, "Whatever." Then he took out a thousand taels of silver tickets and put them on the table: "I bet that General Tie won." ”
The maid was in charge of teasing the two crickets to fight, and the woman in yellow played the flute leisurely, Xia Chen suddenly felt that this scene was very weird, one side was fighting desperately, and the other side was listening to music and drinking tea. Of course, she had been staring at the two crickets in the jar, and suddenly heard the black general's scream, and then the iron general bit off the tentacles and was defeated.
The woman in yellow stopped and smiled charmingly: "I won." ”
Wei Han took a sip of tea: "The girl's luck is better than mine." ”
Xia Chen couldn't figure it out, how could this black general suddenly be defeated! Could it be the sound of a flute? Since ancient times, there has been no shortage of people who can control animals with their voices. R1152
