Volume 1 The Wind Rises Chapter 20 The People in the Capital

Finally, it was late at night, and it was time for this small and only Sunzi gambling house in Scoop City to have the most people.

It may be because His Majesty the Emperor of Jingguo may often lose the game, so he doesn't like to gamble with others, so that the large and small gambling houses in the country are very few people during the day, and only at night will they be overcrowded.

According to Xi Yuanxiu's request, Jia Daya went to call him when he saw that the person who won him thirteen taels of silver in one night came to the gambling house again, and Xi Yuanxiu, who had confirmed this matter in Xinghualou before, was still a little hopeful about tonight.

Of course, it was not only this one thing that was explained to Jia Daya, but also Xi Yuanxiu's convoy that they did not follow in the salt field, and Xi Yuanxiu also handed over this matter to Jia Daya and asked him to pay attention to it.

After discussing the letter with Xi Yuanxiu, Liu Xiao was not very happy, because he felt that Xi Yuanxiu did not trust him enough, and he didn't even tell him all the contact lines of the entire red tide, because the gray pigeon was too abrupt!

He doesn't know who that woman is, but now he just knows that her name is "Qiu Lian", it seems to be a rich lady in the capital, and of course there is a letter sent to the Golden Horde, does he also have a woman's relationship in that place?

He felt a little disappointed, he was not as good as a few women who had been with him for so long, and Xu Lai, who was close to facial paralysis.

But under Xi Yuanxiu's coaxing and deception, he was soon not in such a bad mood, because Xi Yuanxiu was going to take him and Bian Ying to the casino tonight, and he spent money, after all, he was happy without spending his own money!

Xi Yuanxiu didn't think that he was the smartest person in the entire Jingguo, because he couldn't control many things, although when he was in Beijing, many adults said so.

For example, tonight's casino, he hasn't been there for a long time since Aunt Hao came to the yamen to ask about the dog's illness, I don't know whether he wins or loses tonight, of course it doesn't matter, he just wants to see that person, but if he loses money, he is always distressed!

Now in his opinion, in fact, His Majesty the Emperor is not so confused, that His Majesty will never gamble, because if you don't bet, you won't lose, so if you don't lose, it's the real win!

......

......

Bian Ying stood under the signboard with the word "Sun" written on it, and said a little crampedly: "Actually, I have never been to these places, and it seems that His Royal Highness Xianwang doesn't like it very much!" ”

Xi Yuanxiu stared at his face and said seriously: "So that night I said that he was like our Emperor Majesty, not just patience!" ”

Xi Yuanxiu lifted the curtain with one hand and walked straight in, and the other two followed, in this place where shouting and scolding were mixed, Xi Yuanxiu found the table where he should go with his teeth that couldn't hide it at all.

In addition to the strong men who watched the table at this table, the other onlookers did not notice that there were three more people squeezed over, because the gambling game on the table was really attractive.

Standing at the southernmost side of the long table, Xi Yuanxiu is very familiar, the owner of this gambling house, although he looks a little honest, but he is not honest at all, and his usual smile can make you think of the neighbor's uncle quickly.

However, Xi Yuanxiu knows that his current situation is very bad, because when a gambler is more weak-minded, the more ordinary he will behave more, and he may be more presumptuous!

"Brother, I can't let you do this, you have earned enough money and face in my field!" Lao Sun's eyes seemed to be trying to see each other's faces better, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and his expression changed from smiling to smiling haha.

However, the person opposite was wearing a hat on his head, and there was a layer of tulle across his face, so he couldn't see his facial features clearly, and he couldn't distinguish between men and women.

The man wearing the hat opened a slit in the dice cup with his hand, and through the veil, he seemed to see the size of the dice inside, rubbed his slender hands, and did not speak, but just pushed fifty taels of silver on the table, and raised it!

At this time, Lao Sun Khan dripped on the table, but because the light from the candle was a little dim, no one noticed it.

He knew that he couldn't stand it anymore, because no matter who shook the dice cup on the table, as long as that person raised, he would definitely win, just like Jingguo had never lost big, as if the balance was always tilted to this side.

After confirming that neither of them had raised the price, the guy in the gambling house began to shake the dice after making eye contact with Lao Sun, and after shaking it from side to side for more than a dozen times, he slapped the dice cup firmly on the table.

"The two sides are determined to buy and leave, open, one, three, five, small, this son has won again!" The guy at the gambling house couldn't believe it, his mouth trembled when he spoke, because this person has not lost a handful since he was on the table, even if he has used a hand and foot and used a dice filled with mercury, but once it is opened, this person still wins, it makes no sense!

Lao Sun looked at the dice in the dice cup on the table, slapped his palm on the table, and even the dice seemed to be frightened by this, rolled under the table, he looked at the person on the other side of the table, and said angrily: "You kid is a good man!"

Xi Yuanxiu asked Jia Daya what was going on, he only looked at this one, and he didn't see anything wrong with the person wearing the hat.

And Jia Daya and Liu Xiao said in unison: "There must be something wrong with this person!" ”

Because Liu Xiao and Jia Daya's situation that day was no different from this, but they kept putting silver on the table, and later they had become the hat man, gambling with the people in the gambling house.

"Your boss is really interesting, you have done it yourself, saying that I am a good man, why don't you please take a look at this dice, do you dare?" The voice coming from under the hat can only prove that this person is very young, but unfortunately, he still can't tell whether it's a man or a woman, just like the people here can't tell whether it's a man or a woman.

This is not a good thing, at least it is not a good thing for Xi Yuanxiu, just when he has begun to plan to return to Beijing to save his father, he doesn't want too many people to come to this city, whether it is in the capital or Jianghu guests, this is very bad for him.

He was afraid that someone would know about his plan, whether it was the person who framed his father back then, or the mirage of His Majesty the Emperor, this was a consequence that he could not bear now!

Lao Sun was a little afraid to look at everyone when he was asked, everyone was an old guest who often came here to play, and he had never used mercury dice on these people, but if those three were found now, even if he hadn't used them before, he had used them.

He didn't dare, because his life's work was in this gambling house, and he didn't know what he should do in the future if it was exposed.

Xi Yuanxiu was the first to discover that the dice were different, because he also loved to gamble, although the casino was very noisy, but the sound of landing was still heard by him, because Xi Yuanxiu was really meticulous!

He decided to help Lao Sun, although he didn't like this person very much, but the person wearing the hat, he hated it even more, because he had never seen it, he was very strange if he hadn't seen it, and strange meant that he didn't understand, and now in the city, there can't be people he doesn't understand!

Xi Yuanxiu picked up the dice on the table, squatted down and picked up the two on the ground, held them in his hand, and then walked to the middle of this long table: "This official proves for Boss Sun that there is no problem with the dice!" ”

"This is not Lord Xiao Xi, Lord Xiao Xi is also here!"

"This Lord Xi is also a veteran, and there is absolutely no problem!"

"Since Master Xi said that there is no problem with Lao Sun, then this kid has a problem!"

The onlookers talked a lot for a while, not only because they believed in Xi Yuanxiu, but also because they believed that they had not been deceived in this gambling house, even if they were, they did not, because no one would admit that they were stupid.

The person wearing the hat suddenly laughed, and his voice was very crisp, like the sound of chewing pickled pepper and bamboo shoots, a specialty of Liangzhou.

Then he picked up a few dice like Xi Yuanxiu, played with them in his hand, and said, "I didn't expect Lord Xi, who has always been fair, to do this kind of thing, as far as I know, you weren't this kind of person before!" ”

Bian Ying and Liu Xiao were slightly stunned, it seems that this person knows that Xi Yuanxiu has done the past, so it proves that he is an old person.

After hearing this, Liu Xiao was thinking about whether there was such a person in the letters he took over, and Bian Ying had already come to Xi Yuanxiu's side, and he felt that Dai Douli was not a friend, because Xi Yuanxiu's expression was too normal, so it was very abnormal.

Xi Yuanxiu is also trying his best to keep calm, the old man is not necessarily an old friend, it may also be an old enemy, he now feels that he has entered the game tonight, because Jia Daya is gone!

Lao Sun on the side didn't seem to know what the four of them meant here, he only knew that his gambling house was enough to be saved, and he was very interested in coaxing the onlookers to disperse.

Then he hugged Xi Yuanxiu with his fists, expressed his gratitude, took the three dice back from his hand, and then went to see the guests at the other tables, of course, before leaving, he didn't forget to fall off the stool and bluff the person wearing the hat, as if to warn him that this was in his own field, don't mess around.

After the crowd dispersed, Xi Yuanxiu looked at the man, and after a long silence, the person wearing the hat spoke first.

"Someone asked me to bring a message to your lord!"

Xi Yuanxiu didn't think that he would have a good relationship with anyone now, so he looked at the veil like a mist and asked, "Since Your Excellency knows me, it is entrusted by the old man, but I don't know where the old man is?" ”

The hat man brushed the sleeves embroidered with the clouds and replied: "Since it is an old man, it is naturally in the capital!" ”

Xi Yuanxiu asked suspiciously, "Then I don't know what Your Excellency brought me?" ”

The hat-bearer replied with a little respect: "The one in the capital wants you to stay here, so don't go!" ”

Xi Yuanxiu pondered for a while and asked, "Then can Your Excellency tell me how long it will take for that person in the capital to say?" ”

The hat man thought thoughtfully for a while, and then replied to him: "He said that this life should be enough!" ”
