Chapter Eighty-Six: Willing to Gamble and Lose
Yang Hong looked carefully at the glass teacup in his hand, and said with a smile: "Uncle Liu, when I came to you today, I can be regarded as having opened my eyes, and I am afraid that such treasures are hard to find on the market." ”
Liu Nantian snorted and said with a smile: "What kind of treasure is this, isn't it just a mortal teacup." Come here, you can see what this is. As he spoke, he took a small box from the shelf behind him and put it on the desk in front of him.
Yang Hong carefully put the glass cup in his hand in its place, stepped to the front of the desk, looked at the box on the desk with great interest and said: "Even the glass cup you said is a mortal thing, then the contents of this box are probably not just as simple as rare treasures." Not to mention anything else, this box is worth a lot of money. ”
I saw the flying dragon coiled around the box, and after a closer look, I found that it was a picture of two dragons playing with pearls, and the flowing water was lifelike, just at the intersection of the two dragons, inlaid with a gem the size of a quail egg.
Liu Nantian stroked his beard and said with a slight smile: "Whether the treasure is valuable or not depends entirely on whose hands it is. As for money, it is something outside the body, and it is not brought with it by life or with death. All that can be called treasures is not measured by money. ”
As he spoke, he gently pressed the dazzling gem with his index finger. With a "snap", the box opened in response.
Liu Nantian raised his hand and said, "Virtuous nephew, you might as well open it and take a look, what is in this." ”
"Since Uncle Liu has said it, the little nephew will be rude." Yang Hong did not shirk, and reached out to open the box.
Yang Hong was stunned when he saw it, his eyes seemed to be sucked, and he stared at the contents of the box tightly and said, "Uncle Liu, this..."
"How about it, this thing can be called a treasure," Liu Nantian leaned back on the Taishi chair, looked at Yang Hong, who was stunned, and said, "Virtuous nephew, you can pick it up and give it a try." ”
"Uncle Liu, what did you just say?" Yang Hong raised his head and looked at Liu Nantian with shiny eyes.
"You heard it right," Liu Nantian laughed, stood up and patted Yang Hong on the shoulder, and said word by word: "I said you can pick it up and try it." ”
"Goo" Yang Hong swallowed his saliva and looked down at the pair of short knives in the box. I saw the light flowing on the blade, like the stars in the dark night. With a gentle wave of it in his hand, the sound of breaking wind followed.
"How is it," Liu Nantian looked at Yang Hong and asked with a smile, "This thing can be regarded as a treasure?" ”
Yang Hong carefully looked at the thing in his hand, and said with a little hesitation: "Uncle Liu, if I guessed correctly, this pair should be the Mobei Qiang Clan's holy relic "Mountain Cracking Stone". ”
"The virtuous nephew has good eyesight, it is indeed true." Liu Nantian twisted his beard and nodded with satisfaction.
Yang Hong put the double knives back in their place and sighed: "Uncle Liu is really a god and a man, and such treasures can be included in your bag, and the little nephew is deeply admired." ”
"As I said just now, the key to whether the treasure is valuable depends on whose hands it is," Liu Nantian stretched out his hand and took the box on the table and handed it to Yang Hong and said: "This thing is also dusty on the shelf in my hand, why not give it to the virtuous nephew." ”
"Uncle Liu, what do you mean?" Yang Hong frowned and looked at Liu Nantian in disbelief.
If it was an ordinary thing, Yang Hong would naturally not take it to heart, but this thing was too precious. To say that it is priceless is to belittle it. Since ancient times, there has been no merit, and this Liu Governor is so generous, I'm afraid there is something wrong.
Liu Nantian looked at the hesitant Yang Hong and said: "The red pink gives the beauty sword to the hero, and it can only reflect its value in your hands."
"This...."Yang Hong looked at the treasure knife handed in front of him and hesitated. Who doesn't want to have a divine blade of his own, not to mention that his own exercises are to make double swords.
Seeing that Yang Hong did not refuse directly, Liu Nantian's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he said with a smile: "Virtuous nephew, such hesitation is not like the style of a chivalrous man. After a slight pause, he pursed the corners of his mouth and said: "If the virtuous nephew feels that he is ashamed of it, then you do your uncle a favor, and this thing should be a gift, do you think it's good?" ”
Yang Hong was stunned when he heard this, and then said with a smile: "Uncle Liu has something to order, and my nephew should do his best." ”
The corners of Liu Nantian's mouth curled up slightly, and he smiled slightly, then reached out and stuffed the box into Yang Hong's hand and said, "You take the things first, don't shirk it anymore." ”
"Then the little nephew is better to be respectful than to obey his fate." As he spoke, he reached out and held the box in his arms, for fear that Liu Nantian would regret it.
Pei Yuanting looked at the two people in front of him blankly, stretched out his elbow and gently touched Wen Ziqi, who was sitting next to him, and whispered: "Why is this person here, and is this fairy-looking girl here this Weihe Oiran?" ”
On the table, no matter how quiet you are, the person sitting opposite can also hear it, only to see Qin Keqing's face pale, and he pretended to be angry and said: "This foodie surnamed Pei, you'd better be careful when you speak, don't say anything." ”
Pei Yuanting, who has been in the market for many years, couldn't tell whether this girl was really angry or fake, so he grinned and said, "Don't worry, shrew, I promise to only eat today and not talk." As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand and pretended to swear.
When Nangong Feifei heard Pei Yuanting say this, she hurriedly covered her mouth and nose with her hands, and said happily: "It turns out that this is the "foodie" in Sister Keqing's mouth, seeing that you are not fat at all, can you really eat?" ”
"It's not just that you can eat," Qin Keqing glared at him when he saw him talking nonsense, and then said, "And you can also speak." ”
When Pei Yuanting heard Qin Keqing say this, he unhappily defended: "I admit that I can eat, but you say that I talk a lot, I have to refute it, I don't know who scolded the two big men until they were speechless." He shook his head as he spoke, with an expression of disbelief.
As soon as Nangong Feifei heard that there seemed to be some gossip in this, she hurriedly asked, "Who is it?" ”
"Who else could it be," Pei Yuanting said with a pouting towards Qin Keqing: "Except for this Lord Qin, it is estimated that there is no one else!" ”
"What do you mean, I, Sister Keqing, scolded you and Brother Wen by myself and had no room to fight back." Nangong Feifei asked gloatingly.
Pei Yuanting shook his head and denied: "It's not me and Ziqi, it's Ziqi and Haoran......, wait, you just called Brother Wen?" ”
"yes, what's not to do?" Nangong Feifei raised her eyebrows and asked, "Or do you have any opinions?" ”
"Why!"
"Is it enough for him to save my life?"
"That's enough."
"Look at what I said correctly," Qin Keqing looked at Nangong Feifei with an arrogant face and said, "Not only can you eat it, but you can also talk about it!" ”
"Yes, but what's going on with his face, how is it swollen like this?" Nangong Feifei asked suspiciously.
Hearing Nangong Feifei say this, Wen Ziqi turned his head and looked at Pei Yuanting, whose cheeks were swollen like dough, and asked with concern: "Yes, I wanted to ask just now, what's the matter with your face, why is it swollen like this all morning?" ”
"It's okay," Pei Yuanting said with a slightly embarrassed expression: "I just want to lose the bet!" ”
"Bet? Who did you bet with? How to bet like this. Wen Ziqi asked in surprise.
"I didn't talk to anyone, just the old man below," Pei Yuanting said disapprerovingly.
Qin Keqing shook his head and laughed at him: "Not only can you eat and talk a lot, but now I will add another daring to you." ”
Pei Yuanting was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly raised his head and asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”
"It means that you dare to bet with him," Nangong Feifei looked at him with a smile and said: "Because, Lao Wu once gambled on dice for three days and three nights in "Nan Ke Yimeng" without defeat. ”
Wen Ziqi was shocked when he heard this, and then turned his head to look at the old man on the embankment through the window. Because Wen Ziqi knows that casino gambling dice, the important thing is to rely on listening.
And three days and three nights without a single defeat, which shows that this person's hearing has reached the point of no difference. If this is the case, then it is very likely that he listened to every word of what was said on the ship today. In order to be sure, then the person can no longer stay.
Perhaps it was a coincidence, just as Wen Ziqi was looking at Lao Wu, Lao Wu also happened to raise his head to look at the painting boat. The two looked at each other in the air.
When Wen Ziqi saw that Lao Wu was also looking at this side, he was even more sure that what he guessed was correct, the reason why this person was able to look at the painting boat so coincidentally showed that he was aware of every move in the painting boat.
Qin Keqing, who was sitting opposite, saw Wen Ziqi staring out the window without saying a word, so he asked with a smile: "Why do you want to avenge your brother?" ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw that others had flown out of the window.
Everyone was stunned, Pei Yuanting knew that Wen Ziqi had always shown himself for not knowing martial arts, and he did not hesitate to expose his kung fu at this time. That means that the situation has become so serious that it is impossible to deal with it. He hurriedly stood up and chased out.
The distance of more than ten zhang is in a blink of an eye, and Lao Wu just saw that this person was looking at himself in the painting boat, and with a misguided kung fu, he found that the person was standing a foot away.
At this time, he was staring at himself with murderous eyes, Lao Wu took two puffs of the cigarette pouch and pot in his hand, and said with a smile: "What, looking at Brother Wen's angry appearance, he must have come to avenge your brother?" ”
Wen Ziqi raised his eyebrows, a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly: "What do you say about revenge, what if you don't take revenge?" ”
As the two spoke, Pei Yuanting also came to his side, looking at Wen Ziqi with a murderous face, Pei Yuanting was stunned, he had never seen him like this since they got along for a while.
"If you take revenge, then naturally you will gamble a few more, if you don't take revenge, then I still have something important to do, so I won't accompany you." As he spoke, he knocked the cigarette bag and pot in his hand on the sole of his shoe, and put his hand on his waist to turn around and leave.
Wen Ziqi saw that he was leaving, so he said: "Looking at your appearance, it seems that I will not stand up for my brother, otherwise why are you in a hurry to go, is there something that is in a hurry to explain to others?" ”
Hearing this, Old Wu Tou stood still, and said coldly without looking back: "What do you mean by this." ”
"It's very simple," Wen Ziqi tightened his cuffs and said lightly: "I hope you don't leave!" ”
