Chapter 166: An Undercurrent Under the Ring
Originally, Li Siwen thought that no matter how much the two families set up in the ring in private, they had to take some face into account, after all, whoever lost had no face.
It stands to reason that the ring should be located in a slightly more private place, but it is actually located in a place with an open line of sight, which is convenient for onlookers, close to the deck, even if the infield cannot be watched, it is not a problem to have one or two hundred people standing on the outer deck.
Li Siwen hadn't approached yet, the outside of the ring had already surrounded the inner three floors, and there were two layers of idle people, etc., who were stretching their necks and sharpening their heads, ready to break through the crowd at any time and rush inside to see what was going on.
With such a big formation, probably Liang Mufeng and Duan Tianyou didn't think they would lose, thinking that the losing side must not be themselves.
That's right, as long as the shame has nothing to do with you, the bigger the trouble, the better, so that the side that finally wins the ring will not only win, but also win fame and face.
In a word, if you step on your opponent's face, of course, you must step hard, and the harder you step on it, the better, which is an eternal truth.
Speaking of rings, there are rings all over this cruise ship right now.
Li Siwen and the three of them, this way over, saw three, three, two, two, men and women gathered together, at first glance, I thought it was flirting, the fight was hot, but when I walked in, one or two, with a blue nose and swollen face, there was a flirtatious and scolding, and it was clearly a fight and beating people.
This so-called martial arts competition did not follow the process of drawing lots, let alone ranking according to strength, dividing opponents by rank, and there was no such basic process as the side.
Although Li Siwen did not participate in any martial arts conferences, in his previous life, he was a chubby young man who didn't know anything, and when he met a master who traveled all over the world and successfully opened the path of cultivation.
He has soared to the sky, beyond the martial arts, directly into the Xiuzhen realm of the broad road, and got the master personally passed on the Taihe Sutra, his cultivation is like sitting on a helicopter, after five years of cultivation, he easily killed the Quartet Demon Beast, and was named a god.
Because Li Siwen directly skipped the low-level martial arts conference in his previous life, he didn't participate in other martial arts conferences, so he thought that maybe this martial arts conference wanted to be ingenious, break the rules, and play this trick, what he wanted was this chaotic feeling, the smell of gunpowder was everywhere, and he would start fighting when he said he would start fighting, and he would beat you when he said he would beat you.
Just as Li Siwen and the others passed through an aisle calmly.
Poof.
Out of a window, a man was thrown out.
When the man raised his head, he looked rather embarrassed, with a large piece of skin missing from his forehead, his eyes bruised and swollen from being beaten, and a hole in the top of his head, which was bleeding outward.
Li Siwen was about to step forward to ask about the injury, when suddenly a woman in a coarse linen dress walked out and stood behind the man.
Seeing that the woman was dressed like a female disciple of the Qing Gao family, she saw the woman standing on her arm, and after looking at the bleeding man who fell to the ground incomprehensibly, she left with her hands behind her back.
"These two people are husband and wife." Xiao Shuyue said.
Li Siwen looked at Xiao Shuyue, who had encyclopedic knowledge of martial arts personnel and a roster, and said, "Do husbands and wives also want to fight at the martial arts conference?" ”
"This pair of men and women are from Changbai Mountain, the man is called Chen Tiehan who practices iron head skills, and the woman is called Suo Xiaoqing, and the two of them usually fight against each other, but in my collection, after they got married, they never made a move, why did the two start fighting again this time, I can't tell."
"However, I have a feeling that the people on the yacht in the past two days have been in an unusually impetuous mood, very chaotic, and very ......."
The last word, Xiao Shuyue, didn't know how to describe it.
Looking at Xiao Shuyue's somewhat anxious face, Li Siwen was already a little surprised by the words she had just eaten, because this kind of feeling is impetuous, if it is said by a cultivator, it is normal, but Xiao Shuyue is just an ordinary person, why does she feel these details?
Li Siwen suddenly remembered something, so he asked: "Xiao Shuyue, I remember what you said, your mother's hometown lives in the Kunlun area, right?" ”
"Yes, yes, what's the problem?" Xiao Shuyue replied.
"Kunlun lineage, there is a branch, they are born with a perceptual power that ordinary people can't touch, they can perceive the flow of spiritual energy of all things in heaven and earth, Ju said that they are born with the ability to avoid disasters, and the leader of this branch happens to be surnamed Shu."
Xiao Shuyue was speechless for a while.
"If you don't want to say it now, don't say it, if you don't want to say it, I won't force you."
Xiao Shuyue lowered her head and continued to follow Li Siwen's footsteps, she couldn't say anything about her life experience.
The place where Liang Mufeng and Duan Tianyou chose to duel was on the fourth floor of the yacht, near a banquet hall on the deck, which was originally a high-end and high-grade banquet hall, with few seats, and colorful glass lamps on the ceiling, so that the glazed lights could shine softly on people's faces when the ball began.
But now in this banquet hall, there is no shadow of glass lamps at all, instead of bright incandescent lights, and hundreds of temporary benches.
A huge ring was placed in the middle of the ballroom.
Dense stools filled the entire venue, and the benches were tightly placed next to each other, leaving only one aisle that could pass through one person, and this aisle temporarily separated the people of the Duan family and the Liang family.
On the left hand side of the aisle is the Liang family, and on the right hand side of the aisle is the Duan family.
Obediently, it's just a fight, why are there so many onlookers? Is this one ready to charge tickets?
Li Siwen was about to ask Liang Muyan if her brother was crazy about money and wanted to collect tickets to make money in this ring, but before he could ask the words, he was hit by a man.
"Sir, do you want to place a bet? Buy right to win or lose, up to five times the loss, earn more and earn more, one hundred yuan a bet. Li Siwen looked at the man who dared to hit him, it turned out to be him.
The man had a long beard on his face, and he was looking through his bag that sold gambling tickets very seriously, and when he was ready to give money to the other party, he took two tickets and gave them to the other party.
Liang Muyan wanted to scold this bearded man for a few sentences, but he dared to use the Liang family's ring to make money in front of her, is he tired of it?
"How are you? We meet again. Li Siwen smiled at the bearded man.
The bearded man looked up and immediately exclaimed in surprise: "Yo, it's Mr. Li, I haven't seen it just now, I really have no eyes, I don't know Mount Tai." ”
Li Siwen had already recognized this man, wasn't this man the bearded man he had seen in the casino the night before yesterday who laughed at him for not even shaking his dice, buying big and buying small?
"This cruise ship is so small, you can meet acquaintances in two steps. Why did you make money in the Dongying people's casino that night, and now you have to learn from the Dongying people and open an underground casino by yourself, so you choose to sell gambling tickets everywhere? ”
Li Siwen teased.
"Oh, Mr. Li is really good at laughing, I'm just taking advantage of today's big ring to make some money, the big family in Tongzhou, the Liang family, and a newly famous Duan family, you see such a big scene, there are many onlookers, I just make a little money, Mr. smiled, smiled."
Li Siwen patted the bearded man's shoulder and smiled.
The bearded man politely made a ninety-degree gift to Li Siwen, and took out two gambling tickets from his waist and gave them to Li Siwen and said: "These two gambling tickets, give them to Mr. Li in vain, no matter whether the Liang family wins or the Duan family wins, you can come to me with the ticket, and I will exchange money for you." ”
Li Siwen accepted it with a smile, patted the man's shoulder and asked, "Tell me honestly, I've made a lot of money selling gambling tickets everywhere in the past few days." ”
"We're just a little fight, that there are Dongying people who make a lot of money, I heard that you were there on the first night of the ship, we went to the casino to play and won a lot of money, the casino has never lost in the past two nights, there are many brothers who lost the money they won on the first night to the casino, and even some people lost and were thrown off the boat?"
Got off the boat?
Li Siwen felt that this sentence was a little unreasonable.
Xiao Zhennan was worried about the safety of his daughter Xiao Shuyue, and persuaded Xiao Shuyue to leave the cruise ship several times, and he also had to avoid the Dongying people on the cruise ship.
Since it was, the Dongying people did not just because the other party owed gambling money, and specially arranged a boat to send these people who owed gambling money away.
"Do you see what the people who have been thrown off the ship look like?" Li Siwen asked.
"People, I don't see clearly, because they all wear black hoods, but look at the big ones they are, they should be bigger than mine."
The bearded man patted his chest and said.
"For two days in a row, people were sent off the ship one after another, so I deliberately stood at the exit this morning and waited, waiting to see if it was the descendants of that family who were sent down by the Dongying people."
"The result?"
"So I went to guard before dawn, and fell asleep while watching, and when I came over, I saw four men with two hooded men, walking to the deck of the first floor, untying the ropes, and putting down the dinghy, and then the two hooded men sat in the dinghy and walked away." The bearded man said.
"Do those with black hoods have any other characteristics?" Li Siwen wanted Comrade to ask again.
I saw the bearded man shake his head.
Just when Li Siwen was about to give up the inquiry and enter the venue with Xiao Shuyue and Liang Muyan, the cheeked man spoke again.
"I remember coming, the two hooded men, wearing thick-soled, clog-screws on their feet."
Clogs?
It was the shoes that the samurai of Dongying liked to wear, and Chinese men hardly wore them.
Coupled with the beard mentioned just now, tall and four people, Li Siwen suspected that it was not a gambler from Huaguo who was sent to the ship this morning, but two medicine puppets of the Dongying people.
Are you ready to act?
Li Siwen saw that the man hadn't left yet, so he smiled and patted the man's shoulder and said, "Fortunately, I remember everything you said, go and get busy with you, fight for more lines, and wait for me to come to you with a gambling ticket to cash in." ”
Li Siwen held the two award tickets that the man had just given him and shook them in front of the man's eyes.
The bearded man smiled and said, "Mr. Li, if you are willing to accept my gambling tickets, you look for me when you turn around, I will exchange money for you, and now I have to sell a few more gambling tickets. ”
After speaking, the bearded man turned around and once again blended into the crowd of onlookers.
Li Siwen looked at the man's back and smiled.
This person is just a microcosm of thousands of ordinary people, but it is precisely because of these thousands of ordinary epitomes that such a vivid world is formed and this lively yacht is formed.
So if these people were treated as pawns by the Dongying people like this, he Li Siwen would not agree to it first.
"This bearded man, these two days in the yacht to be very active, basically on the yacht large and small rings, you can see his figure, most people really bought his gambling tickets, I think he has already made a lot of money."
Liang Muyan said with some disdain.
"Miss Liang, in fact, this person is not bad, he just judged the situation, and that night in the casino, he also helped Li Siwen fight against the Dongying people." Xiao Shuyue added.
"However, Mr. Li, this time everyone knows that we have a Mr. Li in Tongzhou, they say that you are a big hero of Huaguo, and even say that you will fight with two moves. The grandmaster of the fallen East Ying people. Liang Muyan said proudly, as if it was not Li Siwen who defeated the grandmaster, but herself.
"It's not a grandmaster, it's just a medicine puppet." Li Siwen replied.
"What is a medicine puppet?"
"Nothing, let's get inside."
Li Siwen thoughtfully walked into the crowded banquet hall.
An old man with white hair stood in the center of the ring, Liang Mufeng and his personal bodyguard He Wei sat in the first row of the audience, on Liang Mufeng's left hand side, across a walkway that could pass through a person, and on the opposite side of the aisle were the people of the Duan family, and Duan Tianyou was also among them.
