Li Jiao narrowed his eyes slightly, and said coldly: "What does Lord Weng mean, do you want to stand up for Liang Xiao?" ”

"Definitely, this is Liang Xiao's money." Liu Ling smiled slightly and added another sentence. "It's just part of it."

Li Jiao sneered: "He has so much money, why should he live in a melon shed?" ”

"That's what you don't understand." Liu Ling's smile was even brighter. "He just doesn't want to get rich. Otherwise, he would have been rich and noble. When I heard of his virtuous name, I sent envoys to Jiangdu three times, and hired him to enter the palace with a lot of money, but he refused. If he is willing to agree, why should he live in a melon shed? Although Huainan is small, there are also small courtyards and thousands of districts to wait for the wise men of the world. It's just that he is bent on serving the Son of Heaven and refuses to obey my Huainan. ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a lot of discussion around. This unremarkable young man actually refused the call of the Huainan Palace? King Huainan is a famous virtuous king, and Corporal Lixian is famous, and if he can be invited by the king of Huainan, it is definitely not an ordinary talent, not to mention three times. refused to be hired by King Huainan with a lot of money, and would rather live in a melon shed, this person is not only talented, but also a person loyal to the court. At a young age, he already has the style of Coats.

For a while, the eyes that looked at Liang Xiao changed a little, a little less conceited of the imperial capital, and a little more appreciation, a few girls began to point and whisper, and their eyes became amorous.

Dongfang Shuo smiled. He shook his head, a little helpless. Liu Ling's reaction exceeded his expectations and surprised him. However, Liu Ling said these words in public, which was enough to clear the suspicion of Liang Xiao's traffic princes, and he didn't need to worry.

Liang Xiao sighed secretly, feeling a little guilty in his heart. Liu Ling did this to make a name for him. But he already owed Liu Ling too much, and the more Liu Ling did for him, the more uneasy he became. He stepped forward and stopped Liu Ling.

"Lord Weng ......"

"What, reluctantly?" Liu Ling raised his eyebrows and glanced at Liang Xiao, there was banter and loss in his eyes. "Five hundred gold, I can't take it out, I want to discuss it with you and change the way of cooperation. I'll pay 100 gold first, and then I'll give you 30% of the interest every year, how about it? ”

Liang Xiao was taken aback: "This ...... Too much. ”

"That's a yes." Liu Ling smiled, picked up Liang Xiao's palm without saying anything, and hit it three times, "Bang bang!" After three sounds, Liu Ling smiled again: "Lend me ninety gold first, and I'll make a bet." He turned over his horse, kicked the horse in the belly, walked into the middle of the field, raised his whip and shook it.

The surrounding crowd suddenly closed their mouths, and their eyes fell on Liu Ling in unison.

"You live in Chang'an, you are well-informed, and you must have seen a lot of martial arts competitions. However, today's competition is not something that can be seen every day. One of them is the son of General Li Guang, a famous general of the Han Dynasty, who has been used in archery for generations. One is a young man from Wu Chu, born with a pair of ape arms, and he is more familiar with the legendary archery skills. They are all young and handsome men of my big man, how can such a competition be compared with an ordinary competition? ”

The audience only knew that someone wanted to compete, and gathered around to see the excitement, some of them knew Li Jiao and felt that this competition should be interesting, but they didn't think too much, thinking that this was just an exhibition match for Li Jiao, and there was no suspense about the outcome of the game. Hearing Liu Ling say this, they knew that Liang Xiao's archery skills were no worse than Li Jiao's, and what kind of archery skills could he have.

Although not everyone knows what the sound shooting technique is, since it is a legend, it will definitely not be bad.

An ordinary, or rather one-sided match, turned into a close matchup, and the brilliance immediately rose more than a notch. For a while, the enthusiasm of the audience was high. They cheered and discussed, and the sound attracted more spectators, more tourists. After a while, it was surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, and the water could not be drained.

Liu Ling lightly rode his mount and galloped lightly along the crowd, his body gently undulating with the pace of the mount, and the fiery red big sword trembled, like a jumping fire. She raised her arms and shouted, "How can such a splendid event be without color? ”

This sentence immediately exploded in the audience, and countless people laughed loudly and shouted: "Can't! ”

"Bet, bet!"

"Haha, gotta bet! I want to sit in the bank! ”

Liang Xiao touched his palms and looked at the excited and inexplicable audience around him, dumbfounded. When these people heard about the betting, they were more excited than seeing them playing, and even those little daughters-in-law and big girls were busy digging their purses, and their eyes lit up with excitement. That's a great bet.

Not to mention Liang Xiao, even Li Jiao was a little helpless. This was originally a contest between him and Liang Xiao, but as soon as Liu Ling came, he not only increased the stakes, but also sat up. Looking at Liu Ling's familiar arrangement of the gambling game, he unconsciously shrugged his shoulders.

Liu Ling obviously often does this kind of thing, and with a wave of his hand, someone spreads out a seat on the ground, sets up a bet on the spot, and accepts bets. The handicap she opened was all one to five, but the vast majority of people bet on Li Jiao to win, and there were only a few dozens of people who bet on Liang Xiao to win, and half of them were fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls, and the amount of bets was also limited, all of them were about a dozen yuan, and the most was only a hundred yuan. Compared to the bet to Li Jiao, it is simply negligible.

Liu Ling circled the horse and walked back, lay on the horse's back, and said to Liang Xiao with a smile: "You must win." If you lose, I'm going to lose at least 100 gold. It can be deducted from your bonus when the time comes. ”

Liang Xiao frowned. "Master Weng, are you helping me or helping him? You're putting so much pressure on me, can I still shoot well? ”

Liu Ling raised his eyebrows: "It's okay if you really lose, come to me as an attendant, when will you pay off your debts, and when will you be free." ”

Liang Xiao was anxious when he heard it. "Lord Weng, you are a bit of a dependent, when did we say that?"

"I'm still up to you." Liu Ling chuckled. Her eyes flashed, and she suddenly screamed. "Hmph, isn't this a cultivator? Why, you're going to gamble too? As he spoke, he rode his horse to meet him.

Liang Xiao followed Liu Ling's gaze and saw a young man who was at most twelve or thirteen years old, riding a black horse with the height of a divine horse, followed by a dozen or so teenagers who were not good at first glance. There were so many people around, they didn't get off the horse, they just rushed over directly, so frightened that the people who were betting hurriedly got out of the way, and several people fell to the ground, but they dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak.

After listening to Liu Ling's words, Xiu Cheng Zizhong grinned: "I said why is it so lively, it turns out that the lord of Huainan is gambling here." What are you betting on, I'm here to join in the fun. ”

Liu Ling told the gambling game again, Xiu Cheng Zizhong glanced at Liang Xiao, turned around and discussed a few words with an entourage, and waved his hand. "I'll bet on Li Jiao, 100 gold."

The audience was in an uproar.

Before that, the bets were all a few hundred dollars, and the most was only one or two gold, and Xiu Cheng Zizhong made a move of 100 gold, and if Li Jiao won, Liu Ling would have to pay him 500 gold. That's a big bet. Compared to this bet, no one else is worth mentioning.

Even Liu Ling was surprised. "Xiu Cheng Zizhong, isn't this a little too big?"

"Don't dare to take it?" Xiu Cheng Zizhong crooked his mouth. "If you don't dare to take it, don't sit in the village. Get out of the way, I'll come. ”

"Wait." Liu Ling stretched out his hand to stop Xiu Cheng Zizhong, glanced back at Liang Xiao, and chuckled: "I took it." ”
