Chapter 1 Gambling

Grabbing a handful of dice, the giant deer sat in front of the lake, watching the water and throwing it repeatedly. The dots of the dice rolled up and down, and his mood was like the lake in front of him, undulating.

Life is a gamble. Lu Fangyuan firmly believes this. So he always bets carefully, makes bold moves, and makes a lot of money every time. He bet that as long as he admits that he is small and soft, and he welcomes him, Zhang Jin, the former big boss of Julu Ze, said that he would not deliberately harm himself. As a result, he won. The cronies sent to various places during that time by Gao Shida, the chief scoop of Hebei Lvlin Road, rarely died well, but he did a good job as an eight-master in Juluze. He bet that Zhang Jin and Cheng Mingzhen would be incompatible with each other in the first day, and as long as he stood on the right side, he would get closer to the core of Juluze's power. As a result, he won again. After Cheng Mingzhen and Zhang Jincheng wrestled for a while, they have never had any contact with each other since. And he held some of the power that originally belonged to Cheng Mingzhen in his hands. He gambled that Zhang Jin's limelight would not last long, and instead of following him around and getting the superficial scenery, it was better to keep his home honestly and lie dormant to find an opportunity to replace him. As a result, he won again. Zhang Jin said that the army was defeated, and all the heroes of the green forest died and scattered. He, Lu Fangyuan, not only did not suffer any loss in the strength of his command, but took down the entire Julu Ze in one fell swoop.

Then, he gambled that as long as the threat from the outside was incomprehensible, Cheng Mingzhen would not have the courage to fight on two fronts, confronting the government on the one hand, and freeing up his hands to "uphold justice" for Zhang Jin. He bet that as long as Cheng Mingzhen didn't come out, Zhang Jin, who had lost a lot of strength, would definitely not have the courage to come to the door. He continued to gamble, gambling that across the barrier of Cheng Mingzhen, even if he disobeyed the order of Gao Shida, the chief of the green forest in Hebei Province, the other party had nothing to do with him. Not only will he not raise troops to crusade, but in order to balance Cheng Mingzhen, he will give himself more support. He bet, bet that as long as the specific location of Zhang Jincheng is revealed to Yang Baiyan, Yang Baiyan will definitely pounce on it and solve this big problem for himself. As a result, he won the fourth, fifth, sixth, and even umpteenth time. The more he lives in Juluze, the more nourishing he becomes, and his position is getting stronger and stronger, as if he has become a prince.

But in recent days, the wind outside him has not been quite right. Lu Fangyuan rolled the dice, but it was difficult to decide whether he should bet big or small. Gao Shida fought to Hejian County, Gao Shida became the king, Gao Shida's entire army was destroyed, and the army was defeated and died. In just over a month, the land of Hebei has been overshadowed. More than a dozen famous and surnamed Green Forest heroes were like spider webs hanging on the corner, and they were completely swept into the dustpan filled with garbage by Li Zhongjian and Yang Yichen with a slight wave of their sleeves. Not even the slightest strength to resist. With the east wind of Li Zhongjian and Yang Yichen, the local generals who were originally chased by the heroes of the green forest, such as Guo Xuan, Cheng Cheng of Zhuo County, Cheng Yang Baiyan of Qinghe County, and Wei Deshen, the newly promoted Cheng Wei of Wuyang County, all puffed up their courage like straw bags. They took the initiative to attack in all directions, and actually picked more than 30 large and small cottage locks. Cheng Mingzhen was so frightened that he didn't dare to act rashly, Dou Jiande packed up the remnants of Gao Shida's remnants and hid in the depths of Douzigang again, as for the famous Zhishilang Wang Bo, he simply plunged headlong into the isolated island by the sea, lest he would not even have time to escape when he saw Li Zhongjian's banner.

If the situation continues like this, it is better to accept Zhao'an. Lu Fangyuan dropped the dice and wanted to throw a leopard, but he got a corn. He didn't have a way to recruit An, before he captured Juluze, Wei Zheng had sent someone to secretly contact him. As long as he can copy Zhang Jincheng's back road, he will not be blamed for his past sins. And Wei Zheng can also ask the court for merit for him, so that he can at least have the title of lieutenant of the county army.

After getting his wish and getting rid of his old rival Zhang Jincheng, Yang Baiyan also agreed. If he is willing to accept Zhao'an, all the brothers of Juluze can be counted as a member of the Xiangyong of Qinghe County. And in case Yang Baiyan is promoted, the next Qinghe County Cheng will be him Lu Fangyuan.

Although the grades of the school captain and the county captain are not high, in the local area, they are also an identity that can be equal to the county lord. With this official seal that can be fought with open fire, and with his own good skills, Lu Fangyuan believes that it won't take too long, and Hebei black and white will give a thumbs up when they mention their names. It would be better if he could catch up with Li Zhongjian or Yang Yichen, the two big backers, who were both masters with greater skills than the sky. Accept their assignment, kill Mingzhen from both sides at the critical moment, and carry that kid's head, maybe he can immediately change to a general! In that case, there would really be green smoke rising from the ancestral grave of the old Lu family!

The dream is very good, but God is not very beautiful, but there is thunder in the clear sky. With a "boom", a dice that should have been a "leopard" were split into corns. Just when Lu Fangyuan hooked up with Wei Zheng and raised eyebrows, the imperial court suddenly transferred Li Zhongjian to Henan. It is said that because of the design of Wagangzhai to kill Zhang Xutuo, the situation near the eastern capital was too dangerous, and famous generals had to be dispatched. If Li Zhongjian is gone, it is better to say, after all, the green forest of Hebei Province has been disabled by him, and Yang Yichen is left with enough to take over the palace perfectly. I don't know what the emperor thinks of his old man, and in a blink of an eye, Yang Yichen was transferred away. There are no more tigers in the land of Hebei, only the little monkeys such as Yang Baiyan and Guo Xuan are left jumping around. Although the strength of the past and the present is no longer the same as that of the past, and he has just made great achievements in eradicating Zhang Jincheng. Hou Bingfeng is also approaching Douzigang now, pointing directly at Dou Jiande's nest**. But a monkey is a monkey, and no matter how high and happy it is, its deterrent power is not the same as that of a tiger.

Lu Fangyuan, who is good at watching the direction of the wind, believes that if Li Zhongjian and Yang Yichen do not return for a long time, it will not take too long, and the green forests of Hebei Province will have to turn over. At that time, he Lu Fangyuan's trouble will come. For the close Zhouzhou army, he is a direct disaster that caused Zhang Jincheng to be cut by a thousand knives, and he must be eliminated quickly. Although Cheng Mingzhen, the commander of the Zhaozhou Army, was not loyal to Zhang Jincheng at all, that did not prevent Cheng Mingzhen from coming to the door under the banner of avenging Zhang Jincheng and borrowing his head to establish himself authority.

For the heroes of Douzigang, who were once allies, he Lu Fangyuan is a thorn in the side that must be removed. First, when Gao Shida Xing's troops went north, he did not respond, and he was guilty of disobedience. Secondly, when Gao Shida was defeated, he stood by and watched, and he didn't even bluff to contain it, which made his fellow Jianghu even colder. These are not fatal enough, the most fatal thing is that Dou Jiande, the current leader of Douzigang, once had a small "dirty" relationship with him. Back then, he Lu Fangyuan was ordered to go to Juluze to fill the vacancy left by Liu Zhao'an's death, and the idea came from Dou Jiande. Back then, this trick failed to put him to death, but now the opportunity has come again, with Dou Jiande's personality of being wide on the outside and narrow on the inside, how could he easily let him go?

lost the support of Douzigang, and couldn't beat the Xuzhou Army, this big gamble in front of him, no matter how you look at it, it looks like you have to lose your pants. Lu Fangyuan rolled the dice over and over, weighing the weight over and over again, no matter how he calculated, he couldn't let himself continue to make steady profits without losing money. From morning to night, there seemed to be countless flames in his heart, burning his nostrils with smoke. But someone didn't have eyes and couldn't see his mood, so Tingting stepped forward and said sweetly: "Big boss, Mrs. Sang burned new tea, and specially ordered the maid to bring it to you!" ”

"Get out of the way, don't you see I'm busy?" Lu Fangyuan didn't look at it, he pushed it back, and scolded viciously.

Xiao Jiang, the servant girl who was in a good mood, was pushed by him and fell into the shallow water by the lake with the teapot and teacup. After getting up, he didn't dare to cry, knelt in the water, and begged for mercy, "The slave and the maid should die, the slave and the maid should die, please forgive the slave and the maid!" ”

"If you want to die, stay away, don't make people look bad here!" didn't listen carefully to what the other party said at all, Lu Fangyuan drank the order by himself.

This order was indeed a little vague, and the maidservant Xiao Jiang knelt in the lake, not knowing how to carry it out. Lu Fangyuan didn't have time to pay attention to her, grabbed the dice and threw them one after another, working tirelessly to please a good lottery.

The early organic guard quietly reported the situation to the back village, and Mrs. Sang, who was patted on the horse's leg, quickly packed up her makeup and walked over gracefully.

"What's wrong with the big boss, who makes the big boss angry? In case you get angry and break your bones, who can you count on this full old and young! "Before anyone arrives, the words are heard first. One sentence after another is soft and poignant, making the anger turn into a spring breeze in a blink of an eye.

"Why is Madame here?" Lu Fangyuan owed a debt and greeted with a smile. Mrs. Sang was originally the daughter of a big family that Zhang Jin claimed to have snatched back from the Fushan area, not only can she pick up all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she is also charming enough. When Lu Fangyuan took over Julu Ze completely, he "took over" her a little. In the year of his upright tiger and wolf, he suddenly became ambitious, and it was inevitable that he would ask excessively. But Mrs. Sang is like a dry well that has been dry for a long time, no matter how much rain and dew and storms she can accept. After going back and forth like this, the two actually have a real husband and wife relationship, you respect each other, and they live happily in their small lives.

First gestured to Xiao Jiang, who was kneeling in the muddy water, and ordered her to take the opportunity to leave. Then, Mrs. Sang smiled and responded gently, "Isn't the tea not so good that it doesn't taste like the big boss?" The concubine is asking for sin! For the sake of being cautious, I hope that the big master will spare me this time! ”

"You goblin!" Regardless of the fact that the guards were nearby, Lu Fangyuan pulled Mrs. Sang into his arms. Stretched out his hand and slapped the ** twice first, and then said with a smile: "Don't forgive, just don't forgive." It's yours who don't have long eyes. Let's see if you dare in the future! ”

"Don't dare, the concubine doesn't dare anymore. The big boss spared his life, and the big boss Wei Wusang first struggled falsely, and then begged for mercy in a low voice. At the end of the voice, it actually dragged out a long tail rhyme, and it was a crisp in people's hearts when they heard it.

The guards, all of whom were also in their prime, looked at each other and withdrew hundreds of paces away with red faces. Lu Fangyuan stretched out his hand and rubbed two handfuls of the place where he had just slapped, while enjoying the slippery touch from his fingertips, he whispered "threat", "Little goblin, since you are looking for death, don't blame this big boss for being polite at night!" ”

"The goblin has been caught by the big boss, how to deal with it is not up to you?" Mrs. Sang rolled over half of Lu Fangyuan's knees, her arms hanging softly from his neck, her starry eyes slightly closed, and her lips opened slightly.

If it were in normal times, regardless of him day and night, Lu Fangyuan would definitely find a place to do his best first. But today, he was a little lacking in interest. After only a few taps on the beauty's red lips, he let it go and ordered in a low voice, "You go back to the room and wait for me first." I'm going to clean you up in the evening! ”

"Then the concubine will bring the big boss a pot of good tea?" The blazing flames were poured cold water on her head, and Mrs. Sang was somewhat depressed. But he didn't dare to be angry, so he gently tidied up the clothes that were scattered, and asked for instructions softly.

"No need, let me be alone for a while!" Lu Fangyuan sighed and responded with a heavy heart.

The hot face was pasted with cold ** again, and Mrs. Sang felt more and more lost. Standing silently beside Lu Fangyuan for a short while, she put her hand on the other party's shoulder and comforted in a low voice: "If there is something too difficult, the big boss might as well tell the concubine." Although the concubine has never seen much of the world, she can share some troubles with the big boss, and she always does her best! ”

The beauty is so empathetic, even if it is a hundred steels, it has long been refined into finger softness. Fang Yuan let out a long sigh and reached out to grab the boneless fingers on his shoulder. "It's useless to tell you. I'm being cornered now. ”

"Maybe, the concubine can find a ladder for you?!" Mrs. Sang stuck out her tongue and smiled at it.

"Look what you can!" Lu Fangyuan was amused by the woman's mischievous appearance, and the boredom in his heart immediately melted away. With the attitude of giving it a try, he sorted out his thoughts and explained in a hurry. "I'll give you an analogy. The big boss likes to gamble, and you know that. In the past, the big boss has been moving closer to the banker, killing the banker in all directions, and winning the player's eyes green. But now, the direction of the wind has suddenly changed, and seeing that the player wants to wash the village, the big boss can't tell which one to bet on. ”

"Bet on the player! It's not simple. I haven't heard of seeing that the moldy village is still actively accompanying the loss of money! Mrs. Sang's eyes flashed, and she immediately came to a conclusion.

"Didn't you listen to me, the boss of this university was ruthless with the dealer before, and he has offended the player thoroughly!" Lu Fangyuan glanced at her and explained with a sad face.

"So what?" With a woman's intuition, Mrs. Sang responded loudly. "The concubine has only heard that losing money can export revenge, but I haven't heard of winning money and turning against each other? It used to be before, and now it is now, one yard to one yard. You help them fight the mold village, and it's too late for them to thank you, so how can they push the business sent to the door outside! ”

Fang Yuan took a breath of cold air and picked up the dice in his hand with all his might. As the so-called authorities are obsessed, they are clear from the sidelines. Although the idea of the woman's family is a bit wishful thinking, it is precisely the crux of the gambling game. Whether he secretly colluded with Yang Shanhui before, or whether he was eye-to-eye with Wei Zheng, it was all a gamble from the previous round. Now that a new round of gambling has begun, Cheng Mingzhen, Dou Jiande and others are in a hurry to turn the tables, and sending them to the door at this time will only increase their chances of winning. In the face of common interests, any hatred is fake! Dou Jiande and Cheng Mingzhen are not fools, and they should know the benefits and losses.

"What's wrong? Is the concubine wrong? Mrs. Sang knew that she had touched the other party's pulse, but she deliberately pretended to be uneasy.

"You are really a lucky star in this great house!" Lu Fangyuan twisted the woman's face and praised loudly. Immediately after, he threw the dice, and it turned out to be a full house.
