Chapter 109: Betting
Early the next morning, Zhang Yunwen was awakened by a knock on the door.
"Master, hurry up, a group of people came outside, saying that there is an urgent matter to see the master!" Mei Xiang knocked on the door outside the door and said loudly.
Zhang Yunwen opened his eyes and asked in a daze, "Who is it?" ”
Mei Xiang said: "It's the group of sons and brothers in Chang'an City!" ”
Zhang Yunwen turned over: "Let them continue to wait!" ”
Mei Xiang reluctantly returned to the living room and greeted the group of sons who were whistling in front of the tea maid with their eyes glazed.
"Well, this little lady, have you come out?" It was Liu Renshi, the son of Liu Hongji, who said this. Liu Hongji was unruly in his youth, and now his son inherits his mantle.
Mei Xiangqiao blushed, stared at Liu Renshi and said, "My master is sleeping, and he said to let you wait!" ”
Then Liu Renshi laughed and said, "How does the little lady know?" Did you just get up from your master's bed? ”
When Mei Xiang heard this, her face turned red, and she stared at Liu Renshi angrily: "This son is smiling, the posture of the slave and the maid Pu Liu, where can I get into the eyes of my family!" ”
Liu Renshi was still about to laugh, and Qu Tushou next to him grabbed him and said: "General Zhang is an official in the same dynasty as my father, if it weren't for his young age, I'm afraid I would have to call him 'uncle', and besides, I still have to enter the military academy, it's better for Renshi to be a little more restrained!" ”
Liu Renshi heard this, smiled at Mei Xiang at the moment, picked up the teacup, and drank the tea gently.
After resting for a while, no one came, but these sons couldn't sit still and wandered around the house.
"Tsk, although this house is not big, it can live in Brother Zhang alone, it seems too spacious!"
"And you see, there are only three or four servants in this house, but there are seven or eight servants, and the appearance is not bad, if this son lives here, he must hug his left and right, and enjoy the blessings of all people!"
"I heard that this house was given to him by the current queen!"
"Look, there's a martial arts arena over there, let's go and compare first!"
"Good!"
A few people walked to the side of the martial arts arena, only to see that the weapon racks were lined up with iron lances, spears, big bows, steel crossbows and other weapons.
"Haha, let's see my brother play a trick on you!" Then Liu Renshi took the first step and held the iron lance in his hand.
"Good! I have long heard that Liu Guogong's lance skills are extraordinary, and Brother Renshi must have learned Guogong's lance skills, just look at Brother Renshi's kung fu! ”
Liu Renshi used his strength, and when he mentioned the long lance, he suddenly realized that this was a large iron lance weighing fifty or sixty pounds. With such weight, although it is not difficult to lift, if you play a few times, it will definitely not work. At that moment, he smiled at a group of people who were watching the excitement and said: "Don't panic, in fact, what my Liu family is best at is not lance art, but marksmanship!" ”
As he spoke, he mentioned the spear again. Damn, it's another iron gun, I'm afraid it weighs forty or fifty pounds.
He put down the iron spear again, and said to the group of gentlemen: "Although my Liu family's marksmanship is exquisite, it is still worse than archery, how about it be better for my brother to show you archery today?" ”
Several sharp-eyed people had already seen that something was wrong, and they couldn't help but smile and stop talking. And the brothers Cheng Chumo and Cheng Chuliang were still clapping their hands there.
Liu Renshi picked up a big bow and tried the strings, I'm afraid there are three stones. The three-stone bow can still be pulled by itself.
So he walked to the quiver, took out a feather arrow, and bent the bow like a full moon, aiming straight at the wooden target hanging on the wall.
I saw that the bow was like a thunderbolt, and a feathered arrow shot out, straight into the arrow target, and the tree next to it.
"Wow, Brother Renshi is really good at shooting, and when he said to shoot the tree, he shot it all at once, it's really powerful!" The Cheng brothers didn't look at Liu Renshi's gradually reddening face, and said heartlessly.
At this time, Zhang Yunwen finally appeared in the martial arts arena, relieving Liu Renshi's embarrassment.
"Hey, didn't you say yesterday that the competition would start in the afternoon, why are you here now!" Zhang Yunwen had long known that this group of people was coming, but he pretended to ask.
Na Qu Tushou said: "I have never been to the house, no, I came to visit!" ”
Zhang Yunwen looked at a few new faces and asked, "Hmm, these are ......?"
Then Liu Renshi came over first and said to Zhang Yunwen: "Under Liu Renshi, my father Liu Hongji!" ”
"Oh, it turned out to be the son of the Duke of Kui Guo!"
Another young man who looked like Sven was also a smile: "I have seen the general in Xia Zhanghun!" ”
Then Liu Renshi suddenly said: "This brother Zhang is the righteous son of General Zhang Liang!" ”
Then, two more people came. However, Zhang Yunwen recognized that they were a pair of sons of Yu Chigong, Yu Chi Baolin and Yu Chi Baoqing. Now, they were eleven or twelve years old, but they were burly and strong, like sixteen or seventeen-year-old boys!
"Why are you here?" Zhang Yunwen looked at the two brothers and asked.
I saw that the two of them were shy, and said softly: "We, we have bet more than 50 yuan on Brother Yang!" ”
Zhang Yunwen was speechless for a moment.
In the end, that Cheng Chumo brought a young man who looked like him but was a little younger: "Brother Zhang, this is my little brother Chu Liang!" Everywhere is bright, call Brother Zhang! ”
Cheng Chuliang smiled toothily and called: "Brother Zhang!" ”
Zhang Yunwen suddenly felt a sadness in his heart: "Come on, it seems that I have to be a generation younger than that Cheng Biting Jin!" ”
At this time, Qu Tushou asked again: "By the way, General Zhang, why didn't you attend the court meeting today, and you were here to chat with us people?" ”
Zhang Yunwen said: "The military academy is about to start, and I will be staring at that side these days, and I will almost not participate in the court meeting!" After speaking, he looked at the group of people, "Hmm, by the way, why isn't Brother Yang here?" ”
"We're just here to find you, and then we'll go to the natural residence for dinner, and then we'll go to compete with that Xiao Rui in the afternoon!" Liu Renshi said with a smile, "I heard that Brother Zhang is the boss of the natural residence, I wonder if I can charge less for dinner later?" In order to bet on this game with Xiao Rui, we bet all our net worth into it! ”
The sons next to him suddenly nodded in unison.
Zhang Yunwen smiled slightly: "Wow, but I also have one condition, that is, your gambling plate, I will also make a bet!" ”
Everyone suddenly asked cautiously, "Then how much do you want to bet?" ”
Zhang Yunwen stretched out a finger: "A thousand times!" ”
In the exclamation of everyone, Zhang Yunwen and the group slowly walked out of the mansion and walked in the direction of the natural residence.
When he came to the natural residence, Yang Chang was still sitting at a table, drinking wine and eating meat. He just likes this kind of life, and has an instinctive resistance to those things like swords and swords, and licking blood from the knife edge. Fortunately, he met Zhang Yunwen, a person who could tolerate a strong man working as a security guard in a restaurant, and also provided free three meals a day, this kind of life is really wonderful.
"I thought you would come early in the morning, why are you here now?" Yang Chang seemed to complain a little about the lack of people to drink with him.
"Let's go to Brother Zhang first!"
"There's nothing to do in his house, there's no wine, there's no meat! It's better to be here! ”
Zhang Yunwen didn't care about Yang Chang's words, sat down with everyone, then slapped the table, and said in a drunken tone: "Xiao Er, good wine and good meat are sent!" ”
