Chapter 445: Empty Hands

Li Mu was rolling over his shoulders, and was throwing himself in, when he suddenly saw an extra pair of boots next to him, and then looked up, and saw Ergou looking over with a stunned face, a completely confused face, seeing Li Mu looking at him, he didn't know how to react at all.

When his subordinates saw his embarrassment, he must have been at a loss for a long time if he was replaced by an ordinary person. But is Li Mu an ordinary person? When he saw the stunned Ergou, he stood up very calmly, pounced on the dust on his body, and said, "You see the gap, right?" When Ben Hou told you to go away, you always used it to go. So you're still a second dog, but when Your Majesty asked Ben Hou to get away, Ben Hou was very real and really rolling, so I can call myself Ben Hou now, understand? ”

Ergou nodded stunned, not knowing whether he really understood or faked.

"Learn slowly, the advantages of Ben Hou are enough for you to learn in two lifetimes." Li Mu patted Ergou on the shoulder and passed by him. Ergou was stunned for a long time before he remembered why he came, and hurriedly caught up with Li Mu, and said: "Master Hou, my brother just came over......" Ergou leaned into Li Mu's ear and muttered a few words, Li Mu nodded and said: "Well done, go and tell Sangou that you don't have to take people to Chang'an City, you don't have to take people to the valley." Those elephants, rare birds, left in the valley to raise, coral agate or something, sent to heaven and earth, just said that I gave the old man a New Year's gift, gold, silver, money, etc.——"

Li Mu thought of Li Zhien, after the New Year, Shangyuan Festival was going to marry her, and he couldn't say anything if he didn't have some private money, so he lowered his voice and said: "Send it to Jingdong and give it to the second lady." ”

Ergou wrote them down one by one and ran downstairs to discuss with his brother.

Ergou's younger brother, Sangou, was sent by Li Mu to the post station south of Chang'an to wait for the delegation of Zhenla Kingdom. Li Mu is not a person who suffers losses, since Li Shimin does not support the matter of taking real rice seeds, he himself has taken the responsibility, he is good at advocating, and he has done this matter by falsely passing on the holy decree. Then all the gains, he must also get. Among them, of course, the elephant and coral that the motorcycle prince prepared to give to Li Shimin.

Coral or something, Li Mu was not interested. But elephants, he is very interested. After the New Year, he will move to the valley. Anyway, the place is big, why not open up a zoo to make up for the regret of not going to the zoo when you were a child?

As for whether it would be discovered by Li Shimin, Li Mu didn't think about it so much. What if you find out, Li Shimin can't be mad because he cut off a few elephants, right? Isn't that the same as a child? Li Mu is now more and more aware of Li Shimin's weakness, he is an extremely good-looking master, so on non-principled issues, he exerts the spirit of shamelessness, which is the most effective for him.

There was still more than half an hour before the next coin scattering, Li Mu walked down the stairs, and compared with half an hour ago, the situation on the first floor was obviously different.

When I first arrived, the big guys didn't know how to play with these new things. Mainly watching, not very hands-on. But with the explanation of the service staff, after gradually understanding the gameplay, they all plunged into it with novelty and curiosity. The guests who came to congratulate today all had the chips that Li Mu promised to give, and most people's minds were that since Li Mu said, the one who lost was his, and he could only take it if he won. If you don't play for nothing, you won't lose and it's not your own, but if you win, you can get back a little money.

People who think like this have already fallen into Li Mu's calculations. His marketing methods, in his previous life, were already rotten on the street. This is equivalent to giving an experience ticket, and you will be addicted to playing and playing. This is also the reason why Li Mu set the threshold of the Four Seas Gambling House so high, he didn't want to cut the people's money, if he wanted to cut the money of these rich nobles. Of course, this purpose cannot be humane. will definitely not come out of his mouth, the main publicity point is to enrich the entertainment life of the local tyrants of the Tang Dynasty.

Looking at the crowd of people in front of each gambling set, Li Mu seemed to see spring - under the warm sunshine, leeks grew strongly. Farmer Li Mu drank three sips of cool mountain spring, picked up his beloved sickle, and cut it......

"What a good harvest!"

Just as he was sighing, suddenly a scene in front of him made him frown. Not far away, in the place where the dice were played, there was a trace of discordant sound, and someone was arguing.

Li Mu suddenly became unhappy, Lao Tzu opened his business today, which guy who is not long-eyed dares to make trouble in my territory?

"Little love! Ah Jiu! It's done! ”

Li Mu let out a low snort, Dugu Jiu and Fang Yiai instantly understood, Dugu Jiu walked straight to the front, while Fang Yiai walked out to call the helpers who maintained order at the door. If the two sides of the dispute know each other, be honest, and just do it, if not, you have to apologize. It is inevitable to throw it out horizontally and make an example of the monkeys.

And Li Mu himself did not end up in person, as the honorable Zhulu Marquis and the master of this place, he had to stabilize the shelf. Otherwise, the cat and the dog will have to come forward to do it himself, and this field will not be able to open again.

Li Mu pretended to be a big brother with a sinking face, and the script in his heart had already been written that he would throw people out and put a cruel word in front of the onlookers, so that he could not only suppress the position, but also appear that he was not so aggressive. The Tang Dynasty is still to be amiable, otherwise how can the people love it......

"Big brother!" Dugu Jiu suddenly raised his hand and waved it twice, letting Li Mu go over. Li Mu was stunned for a moment, and secretly said in his heart, what kind of person is making trouble, and Dugu Jiu can't handle it?

Suddenly, a person appeared in his mind, and Li Mu secretly said that it was bad, could it be him......

Li Mu hurriedly walked two steps to him, and sure enough, as he thought, one of the two sides of the dispute was Li Xiaogong. And his opponent is not an outsider, it is Li Mu's good apprentice, Li Xiaogong's nephew, Li Tai, the king of Yue.

Seeing Li Mu coming, Li Xiaogong suddenly came to his senses, grabbed Li Mu, and said, "Boy, you come to judge." There are no fathers and sons in the casino, that's the rule, right? Although I am the uncle of King Yue, one yard is one yard. Just now he lost to me a hundred times, and he didn't even give it back! ”

Li Tai's face turned red and said, "Big brother, it's not like this. We played three dice, betting on the size. I pressed it big, he pressed it small, and I opened it up and looked-"

Li Xiaogong grabbed the words: "A total of six o'clock, not small?" ”

Li Tai said sadly: "You stole one of the dice, why don't you say it?" ”

Onlookers also testified for Li Tai, saying that when they opened, there were only two dice, and the other was missing.

Li Mu looked at Li Xiaogong speechlessly, he really didn't expect that on the first day of opening, Lao Qian appeared, and it was Li Xiaogong, an old guy, frowning and said: "King Jun, we have to afford to play, what is stealing dice." ”

"What do you mean by not being able to afford to play? There are three dice, right? Every six adds up to eighteen points. More than ten is big, and less than ten is small. Although there is one less dice, it can also distinguish the size of the dice, and besides, if I stole the dice, who saw it with his own eyes? Can't it be a fly out when the dice are rolled? Besides, I am small, you say this about me, if I press big, and King Yue presses small, what should I say? ”

Although it is a quibble, it is not unreasonable. And Li Xiaogong is also a well-known Chang'an tyrant, not a figure to mess with. Although Li Tai is Li Shimin's own son, he really made a fuss, and most of them Li Tai had to apologize. If there is one who knows each other, he will not speak, and will not leave. There are only a few young people left who still support Li Tai, including Changsun Chong, Qin Huaidao and others. They are of the same age, and they also bring some relatives, they have all studied in Chongwenguan, they are classmates, and the younger generation and the older generation naturally have a distinction, although they dare not provoke, they can still do it with a few words.

Li Mu suddenly realized that he didn't seem to be coming. If you don't come, pretend not to see, and it's over. It's good to be here, now is the time for him to face a choice.

Is it to help Li Xiaogong 'help the abuse' to bully the young people, or to give the young people the master, teach Li Xiaogong a lesson, and let him restrain a little?

Li Mu pondered for a moment, picked up the dice, snapped his fingers, and the guy next to him handed him a new pair of dice, a total of three.

Li Mu put the dice into the dice cup and said, "King Jun, I didn't see the situation clearly just now, so I can't make any assertions." It's better to play again, this time betting two hundred times. If you win, you're right. King Yue is my disciple, and I asked him to apologize to you. But if you lose, you don't dare to ask your elders to apologize, but you have to follow the rules in the future, and you can't use strong words, what do you think? ”

Li Xiaogong smiled: "This king is just for fun, and it's the same with whoever he plays." But if you want this king to obey the rules, not everyone can do it, and you kid has no face. It's okay to play, I'm still small, and I still have to shake it. ”

Everyone was in an uproar, they had seen shameless, they weren't so shameless, did they not know if they wanted to repeat the old trick? More and more people rushed over, and all eyes looked at Li Mu, wanting to see what he would do.

Li Mu smiled and handed over the dice cup directly. Everyone thought in their hearts, they had heard that the Marquis of Zhulu was deflated under the hands of the king of Hejian County, and it seemed to be true. Since he was able to agree, he obviously wanted to go down the stairs, and it was logical for King Yue to apologize to King Hejian County.

Somehow, there was a sense of loss in everyone's hearts. It's like seeing a rising star and being slapped on the ground.

Li Xiaogong was purely for fun, and didn't think too much about it, so he took the dice cup and shook it. After shaking it three times, he put it down, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a playful smile. He's done it all over again, and this time it's a step further, and the three dice have stolen both, leaving only one inside. This means that the probability of a big one is zero, at most six points, and it is all small.

"I'll shake it, you can open it."

Li Xiaogong stretched out his hand and motioned for Li Mu to come and open.

Li Mu rolled up his sleeves, exposed his wrists, reached out and held the dice, and suddenly shouted "open"! With his voice, everyone's eyes focused on the dice cup!

One, two, three, four, five, six!

Not six, but six dice, each of which is a six.

Six-six-thirty-six, big! After a brief pause, a roar erupted like a mountain!

Li Xiaogong's eyes were about to pop out, and he touched the two dice in his left sleeve, yes, yes. I touched the dice in the right sleeve again, yes, yes, too. But this ...... in front of you He looked at Li Mu's sleeve, puzzled, and said, "How did this happen?" ”

"The king of the county, I have conceded. Originally, I wanted to keep a low profile, but the county king is really aggressive. Why don't you want to think about it, these appliances were invented by me, who can use the means in front of my eyes? Why should I open a gambling house? It's because I really don't have any opponents. Jianghu people say, God of gambling, it's me! ”

"Do you know, invincible, how lonely it is!"

Li Mu faced everyone and said, "I earnestly hope that one day you will have the level to challenge me, defeat me, and give you ten thousand taels of gold." Of course, I don't have time to deal with challengers every day, so let's hold a "Challenge God of Gamblers" every year to determine a challenger. How about winning me and getting the name of the god of gambling with ten thousand taels of gold alone? ”

"Good!!"

Everyone shouted, Li Muchong and Li Xiaogong winked, and without saying anything, Li Tai was pulled out of the crowd, and Changsun Chong and others also hurriedly followed.

When he arrived at a secluded place, Li Mu's face fell and he reprimanded: "Li Tai, you have disappointed me very much. You should know that I don't like fat people. When I first accepted you as an apprentice, I thought that you were interested in learning and didn't want your talent to be buried, so I accepted you as a fat man. But what about you? The eldest grandson Chong has lost weight, and you are fat again! Have you done your hard work? ”

"I ......"

"Don't explain!" Li Mu waved his hand, interrupted Li Tai's words, and said, "I saw the map you drew for Your Majesty a few days ago, is that also called a map?" What the hell is that? That's what you do? ”

Li Tai was so anxious that he blushed and his neck was thick, and said, "Big ...... Master, I recognize everything else you say about me, but that map is my painstaking work. My father praised me when he saw it, saying that he had never seen such a detailed map, and it was unique throughout the ages, how can you say that it is not good? ”

"Not convinced, huh?" Li Mu had already had the intention of drawing a map of his previous life, but he didn't find a suitable opportunity. He has always had a perfect score in his geography class in junior high school, and he has been a class representative for two years, relying on the ability to "draw maps with chalk with bare hands". He drew maps on the blackboard, and his skills were no weaker than those of his geography teacher at the time.

"Tomorrow you bring your broken map, and I will personally draw one for you, so that you can see what a map is!"

When the students heard this, their eyes popped out. In this era, there are very few people who can draw maps. And can draw the kind of territory map that Li Tai dedicated to Li Shimin, and it is also marked in such detail. There is indeed no second person, so Li Tai's conceit is definitely not arrogance.

No one expected that Li Mu would scoff at Li Tai's map. Everyone couldn't help but wonder what kind of map he could draw.
