Chapter 44: Games and Reports

Seeing that Xiao Mu was about to take away the famous minister card with Yue Fei painted on it, at this critical juncture, his hand stopped again and began to hesitate. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

After hesitating for a few seconds, Xiao Mu finally made a difficult decision, and then very resolutely drew another card, leaving the "Yue Fei" in Lin Ye's hand.

Drawing the card into his hand, Xiao Mu picked it up and looked at it, it turned out to be the same "six" in his hand, which happened to form a pair, so that it seemed that Lin Yi lost this game again......

Xiao Mu was also a little worried at this time, for fear that Lin Ye would not be able to bear the blow of losing all the time and run away, fortunately, I don't know if it was because it was not good in front of Queen Zhang and Tian Yuan's second concubine, or Lin Ye's own cards were very good, in short, what Xiao Mu was worried about did not happen, Lin Mu was willing to gamble and picked up a note again, and pasted it on his face - "This game is Xiao Mu's luck, and if he continues to play, he will definitely be able to pull him into the water!" Xiao Mu naturally didn't know these thoughts in Lin Yi's heart......

Xiao Mu took out the "Zhuge Liang" that was originally pressed under the teapot, mixed it with the "Yue Fei" and other cards in Lin Yi's hand, and began to reshuffle the cards.

Xiao Mu's attainments in shuffling cards are much worse than Lin Yi's, not to mention the rough and cumbersome techniques, and he also made creases in one of the emperor cards.

"Your Majesty, I don't know which kings the portraits on the four emperor cards represent?" In order to help Xiao Mu alleviate the embarrassment in front of her, Concubine Tian found a topic and asked, in fact, although she has been playing for a long time, this question is indeed something that several people have not figured out yet, and Xiao Mu needs to answer it.

"Oh, the four emperor cards of 'Heaven', 'Earth', 'Xuan', and 'Yellow' represent Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and Taizu of the Song Dynasty, all of whom have made great achievements in their own generations." Xiao Mu explained while handing the cards to Lin Yi and motioning for her to shuffle them.

"I see, that's ......" In fact, Xiao Mu's explanation was not much different from the conjecture in their hearts, and several people still cooperated very well and made a look of sudden realization.

Drawing famous emperors in history on cards as a tool for entertainment, Xiao Mu still has some worries, and he doesn't know if it will be contrary to etiquette. But judging from today's trial, at least at the harem level, there is still no problem.

As for those Qingliu literati, imperial historians and the like, Xiao Mu didn't plan to let them know about the existence of such a thing in a short period of time. When solitaire really becomes popular among the whole people and becomes a favorite entertainment item for every household, at that time, even if there are Qingliu literati who know about this matter and jump out to oppose it, there is no need to worry too much.

At the same time, Xiao Mu also dared to swear to the lamp that he was not disrespectful to his ancestors by drawing this famous emperor and courtiers in history on cards, but purely to commend their merits and want them to be admired by thousands of people in later generations.

"And what do the last two cards represent?" Lin Yi took the cards and asked as he expertly shuffled them.

"Well, these last two cards are painted with Pangu, who opened the world, and Nuwa, who refines stones to make up the sky." Xiao Mu replied without thinking, and at the same time glanced at Lin Yi, revealing an expression of "you know".

"So that's the case, now the concubine finally knows." Lin Yi cooperated with Xiao Mu's answer, and made a very happy look, but he was muttering in his heart, "This painting is too abstract, I thought it was the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother, fortunately, I didn't rush to introduce Empress Zhang to them......"

Soon Ringo shuffled the cards, then drew one hidden under the teapot, dealt the cards to everyone, and a new round began......

The game continued, and the whole room was filled with a harmonious atmosphere, filled with the laughter of several people. It seems that there is rarely such a relaxed time since the time traveled, and Xiao Mu found that he was more and more able to understand the faint monarch in history - dealing with government affairs is so hard and he has to fight wits and courage with the courtiers, where is there to be happy playing games with the harem concubines.

Xiao Mu even had an illusion that such a scene was as if he hadn't crossed at all, but was still playing with his seniors when he was in college in his later life. The imperial sister-in-law Empress Zhang is like a beautiful senior sister, of course, as Xiao Mu repeats the grade for two years, there is gradually no senior sister still in the school, even if she is a graduate student, she is not necessarily older than Xiao Mu; Concubine Tian and Concubine Yuan are like innocent students; Xiao Mu tried his best to maintain his demeanor in front of them to avoid leaving them with a bad impression of being a lewd senior......

As time passed, several more rounds passed, and Lin Ye's face inevitably had a few more notes, some of which had no place to be pasted, so he had to paste another layer on top of the original note; Empress Zhang and Concubine Tian are not so exaggerated, and the notes on their faces are also increasing; Even Concubine Yuan, who had never lost before, was also broken at this time, and a note was pasted on her face.

As for Xiao Mu, he seems to be like a divine help, and he doesn't have a note on his face. There were even several rounds in which they were lucky to get out of danger at the last minute with powerful shit luck - yes, that's what Lin Ye thought in his heart, and Xiao Mu's shit luck also made Lin Ye's resentment more and more heavy.

Finally, it was time to fight Xiao Mu again, and just when Xiao Mu put the cards in place and waited for Lin Yi to reach out and draw cards, Lin Ye suddenly discovered an amazing secret!

It turned out that after careful scrutiny, Lin Yi found that one of the cards in Xiao Mu's hand had a crease, which was obviously made by Xiao Mu when he shuffled the cards before. Of course, Lin Yi still clearly remembered that it was an emperor card, and glanced at the "Xuan" character "Tang Taizong" card in his hand, Lin Ye was overjoyed: as long as the card in Xiao Mu's hand was withdrawn and made up with the cards in his hand, Xiao Mu's face could also be pasted with a note!

With his heart pounding, Lin Yi struggled to calm his excitement as he nervously extended his claws to the creaseed card. At this moment, Lin Yi seemed to feel that the humiliation of being pasted so many notes on his face before was finally not in vain.

At this moment, Wang Chengen suddenly burst in: "Your Majesty, something is wrong!" ā€

Immediately, Wang Chengen heard Lin Ye's broken drink: "Get out!" ā€

I have never heard such a stern voice from the queen mother, and I seem to have seen something that I shouldn't see, Wang Chengen quickly withdrew from the house in fright.

Lin Yi and Empress Zhang hurriedly took down the notes on their faces, and only after cleaning them up did they tell Wang Chengen that they could come in.

Wang Chengen cautiously walked in again, knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "The slave has seen the emperor and the mothers." ā€

"Get up." Motioning for Wang Chengen to get up, Xiao Mu asked, "What happened to make you so flustered?" ā€

"Back to the emperor, Luo Yangxing asked to see him, saying that Wang Jingyuan's house was attacked by assassins." Wang Chengen replied.

"What? How could something like this happen? Are there any casualties? Xiao Mu hurriedly asked urgently, and Lin Yi on the side also became nervous.

Listening to Luo Yangxing, Hu Yun happened to be present at the time and saved Wang Jingyuan's family, but it seems that the villains did not succeed. As for the specific situation, the slave and maid are not very clear, and the emperor will know when he sees Luo Yangxing. ā€

Wang Chengen's answer made Xiao Mu and Lin Ye's hearts that had originally mentioned their throats and eyes finally return to their stomachs.

"Okay, take me to him." Xiao Mu threw the two cards in his hand on the table, and got up to see Luo Yangxing.

"Wait!" Xiao Mu was about to leave with Wang Chengen when Lin Ye suddenly spoke.

"Wang Chengen! What did you see when you just came in? Lin asked in a threatening tone.

"Back to Niangniang, the slave maid's eyes just flickered, and she didn't see anything." Wang Chengen hurriedly replied respectfully.

Xiao Mu noticed that Empress Zhang, Hetian, and Second Concubine Yuan were obviously relieved, and then they realized that they were worried that Wang Chengen would go out and talk nonsense when they saw the note on their faces. Xiao Mu felt that Wang Chengen's discipline would not do this, but Lin Yi and the others were concerned about it, so they didn't forget to ask again.

"It's good if you don't see it, if you hear any gossip in this palace in the future, I won't be able to spare you!" Lin Yi still felt uneasy, and added a threat.

"Slaves don't dare." Wang Chengen reassured again, and when he saw Lin Yi nodding, he followed Xiao Mu and left.

"Cheap guy again." Until the end, he failed to draw the card with creases in Xiao Mu's hand, and Lin Yi regretted that he was too slow, and reluctantly threw the "Tang Taizong" in his hand on the table.

……

Soon Xiao Mu saw Luo Yangxing.

"What the hell is going on? Tell me more about it! Xiao Mu asked.

"Back to the emperor, here's the thing......" Luo Yangxing took Hu Yun to Wang Jingyuan's house as a guest and happened to encounter an assassin to attack, and Yang Tao, who he sent to find Hu Yun, happened to arrive in time to defeat the thief, the thief could not escape, and then there was infighting, and finally the three thieves committed suicide by taking poison, and one thief was seriously injured and told Xiao Mu all about it.

"Has anyone in Wang Jingyuan's family been injured?" Xiao Mu saw that Luo Yangxing had not said anything about the key content he was most concerned about for a long time, so he asked again.

Wang Jingyuan himself was kicked twice by thieves, and the child named Zhao Qizhi fell down, and it was no big deal. As for Hu Yun, he suffered several knife wounds in the fight, and I am afraid that he will have to recuperate for a while. Luo Yangxing replied.

Xiao Mu listened to Luo Yangxing's narration, and he also felt a little afraid in his heart, and after a while, he pondered for a while and asked, "In this way, at the same time that I ordered you to send someone to protect Wang Jingyuan's family, the gangsters had already attacked?" ā€

"Back to the emperor, Weichen thought that this was probably the case." Luo Yangxing replied.

"The efficiency of the gangsters is inevitably a little too high......" Xiao Mu muttered quietly, and then asked, "Can you find out where these people come from?" ā€

Luo Yangxing said: "Weichen is ashamed, so far I have not been able to find out the origin of a few people, but it is certain that the thieves are indeed the four people Luo Zhenxing saw in Daxing." ā€

"Swing, I'm going to check it out for myself!" Xiao Mu commanded loudly.
