Chapter 231: Gambling on Chess
The dark and narrow eyes burst out with two dazzling lights in an instant, Ruan Yu looked intently at the huge chessboard in front of him, his hands were tightly clenched into fists, and the green tendons on it loomed.
“…… It is often heard that Lord Ruan's superb chess skills are masters in Yizhong, and the grass people have never had a chance to understand it......" Looking at his sparkling eyes, Li Jun said slowly, "The moonlight is just right tonight, why don't we use the stone as the plate and the qi as the son, how about betting on a game?" ”
Bet on a round?
Ruan Yu suddenly turned his head, "...... What to bet on? ”
Born to play, he was itchy when he saw the chessboard, not to mention that he had long heard that Li Jun was a young genius and a rare master of Yizhong, because the two of them were natural mortal enemies, so he barely restrained himself from challenging him.
Now that Li Jun has taken the initiative to challenge, how can he not be itchy?
If it weren't for Li Jun's usual scheming, he should have done it a long time ago.
"Just bet on the incense that was robbed by adults......"
"You ......" Ruan Yu's eyes were cold, and his face turned black for a while.
Ignoring him, Li Junwu said to himself, "If the grass people lose, the Li family's gloomy ** incense will automatically withdraw from the competition for Princess Mingyu's wedding incense......" paused, "If Lord Ruan loses, return the stolen incense to the grass people, and no longer prevent the Li family's incense products from participating in the selection of Princess Mingyu's wedding incense......" He looked at Ruan Yu intently, "How?" ”
The green tendons on Ruan Yu's forehead jumped a few times.
That's a great temptation!
Not to mention that playing against Li Jun, who is known as a wizard, is a temptation in itself, which makes him itch unbearably, just talking about this bet, saying that he is withdrawing from the selection, it is a scene. The meaning behind this statement is:
If he loses, he will give up the Li family's imperial business qualifications!
To put it bluntly, this bet is the Li family's imperial business qualification!
After nearly a year of hard planning, King Ying is seeking the Li family's imperial business qualifications, and he can really be gambled back. What would that be the situation?
For a moment, Ruan Yu hated to let Li Jun immediately use his words as a basis.
However, Ruan Yu is Ruan Yu after all. Although he is obsessed with chess, he is not a plaything, and he has a leisurely look on Shang Lijun. He quickly calmed down:
The reason why Li Jun dared to gamble. It shows that he is confident that he will win.
Not to mention anything else, just say that the Ten Thousand Tribulations Spectrum has not been in his hands for more than a month, but it has been in the Li family for a few years or several generations, how can Li Jun not be able to participate in the research?
Will this ten thousand tribulation spectrum, Mu Wanqiu can win him with a woman, let alone Li Jun?
For the Li family's imperial merchant qualifications. It seems like a great temptation, but unfortunately, he can't afford to lose!
“…… Those incense are the brainchild of Ah Qiu who has not slept for several nights. Ah Qiu looked forward to her relying on this to become famous day and night, and since then she has gained a firm foothold in the perfume world. Lord Ruan is really willing to bury her like this? Seeing that Ruan Yu's expression instantly darkened again, Li Jun tempted.
"Ah Qiu......" Ruan Yu muttered.
That day, Mu Wanqiu suddenly heard that the incense was robbed, and the situation of suddenly fainting in anger resurfaced in front of her, thinking of those desperate eyes full of hatred, Ruan Yu's heart felt a piercing pain.
For a moment, he was disillusioned:
What if the Li family is defeated?
What if the king wins?
If there is no her in this life, what is the point of ascending to the highest throne?
“…… Good! He nodded violently, "I'll bet on a game with Li Gongzi today......" He looked at Li Jun awefully, "If this official loses, he will return all the samples intercepted today, and promise not to rob the Li family's incense again, if you lose......" He paused, and said word by word, "In addition to withdrawing from the selection of Princess Mingyu's wedding incense, the Li family also has to give Ah Qiu to me and promise not to see her again in the future......" After speaking, as soon as he raised his hand, he only heard a bang, and there was an instant slap-sized pit in the upper left corner of the oncoming chessboard, From a distance, it looks like a chess piece falling on it.
First of all, he turned his head and looked at Li Jun quietly.
After not moving for a long time, his eyes narrowed into a slit, "What, are you scared......"
"It's not that I'm afraid......" Li Jun shook his head.
Ruan Yu frowned, "Why is that?" ”
“…… Ah Qiu is not an item, let alone anyone's vassal, I can't use her as a bet! Li Jun's tone was extremely solemn.
"This ......" Ruan Yu was embarrassed for a while, and then said stubbornly, "Why did Gongzi Li say so high-sounding, the Li family lost the imperial business qualification because of her, are you willing to do it?" ”
“…… So what? Li Jun snorted, "...... If Lord Ruan really likes her, he should think more about her! ”
“…… Hypocrisy! A burst of anger filled Ruan Yu's heart, "You just mentioned her, didn't you use it to tempt me?!" After speaking, as soon as Ruan Yu raised his hand, the oncoming chessboard was instantly wiped clean, smooth as a blank piece of paper, and with a long roar, he turned around and ran down the cliff.
Sitting quietly, Li Jun remained motionless, like a beautiful sculpture in the night.
……
As soon as Ruan Yu returned to the Daoist Station, Ruan Xi greeted him, "...... It's so late, where are the adults going? …… Master Wu just left. ”
“…… What is he here for? Ruan Yu frowned.
"I heard that the lord is coming, and the merchants of Qiling County have jointly set up a banquet in the Zuixian Building to ......give you a reception," Ruan Xi said, "Lord Wu has been waiting, and his subordinates have been letting him go back when he sees that it is too late." ”
Without saying a word, Ruan Yu stepped into the house, and was just about to sit down, when he suddenly stopped, "How did those businessmen know that I was coming?" "I want to unite to catch the wind for him.
It's only been a year since he came to Daye, and he is confident that his popularity is not so good, not to mention that his operation is secret.
It's Li Jun again!
He must have spread the news.
The Li family is a tyrant in the business world, and only he can unite the business celebrities of Qiling County to invite him in such a short period of time?
What does Li Jun mean?
Did they let them be lobbyists, or did they spread some rumors to slander the purpose of his trip?
The thought flashed, and Ruan Yu immediately snorted, "...... So what? "Encourage a group of ignorant businessmen to come out to find trouble, what can they do to him Ruan Yu?
"The subordinates don't know ......" Ruan Yu shook his head, "It has been spread all over Qiling County, saying that you have withheld the incense offerings that the Li family offered for the princess. The tone was full of worry, "Or, go down and inquire?" ”
Vaguely, he felt it was a trap.
"No need to ......" Ruan Yu shook his head, "Tell me to go down and leave immediately......"
In response, Ruan Xi was about to turn around, and a guard came to report, "Nie Tao is here......
Nie Tao is the dark butterfly responsible for monitoring the Li family, and the single line is connected to the inside line hidden in Li Ji.
Ruan Yu's eyes lit up, "Let him come in......"
"My lord......" Nie Tao gave Ruan Yu a salute.
Ruan Yu waved his hand to get him up, and asked, "...... What are the movements of the Li family? ”
"My subordinates just got the news......" Nie Tao leaned forward and lowered his voice, "The Li family divided into three routes this time, and a total of three batches of incense products were transported. ”
Three batches,!
Ruan Yu stood up tengiously.
"My lord......" Ruan Xi was startled, and turned back to ask Nie Tao, "...... Are you sure? …… Is this information reliable? ”
"Absolutely reliable......" Nie Tao nodded cautiously, "It was obtained from the Li Ji treasury, Master Bai treated a total of 50,000 gloomy ** incense pills, and shipped them out of Li Ji in three times, the incense pills that the adults robbed last time should be the last batch of incense pills out of the warehouse, and in the afternoon of the same day, a batch of goods was also released, as for how these two batches of goods came out of Li Fu, our people don't know ......"
“…… 50,000 capsules? Ruan Xi looked at Ruan Yu, "Last time, the adults robbed only 20,000 incense pills, and this time it was only 1,000 pills...... paused, "That means there are still 29,000 pills outside......
"Yes......" Nie Tao nodded, "If you leave the mansion on the same day as the previous batch, according to the time, the Li family's batch of goods has already arrived at the border of Daye and even left the jurisdiction of Daye......" He looked up at Ruan Yu, "...... What are we going to do? ”
Once the goods of the Li family are out of the jurisdiction of Daye, Ruan Yu will not be able to reach them.
The room fell silent, and Nie Tao and Ruan Xi both looked at Ruan Yu nervously.
“…… What a cunning Li Jun! For a long time, Ruan Yu slapped the table.
That day, almost all the guards of the Duwei Mansion were taken by him to count the five ships of tribute, which was the day when he was the most relaxed against the Li family, and he guessed that he would use this opportunity to ship, but he didn't guess that he would ship two batches of goods at the same time!
That's it, just now, he visited the Li family's courtyard at night, and he also made a desperate appearance to show himself, it turned out that he had already found out that he had gone to the other courtyard, so he deliberately acted to let himself take the bait, and even took the initiative to make peace with himself at the expense of his dignity, and wanted to gamble with himself with Go to make himself completely believe that he had reached the end of the road.
But it turned out that all this was his trick!
Being slammed into a shock, Ruan Xi shuddered, "My lord, we ......" He looked at Ruan Yu nervously.
What are we going to do?
In order to rob the Li family's incense, strict orders have been issued at all checkpoints along the way, no matter what way, as long as the incense products shipped to Ankang are found, they will be strictly investigated.
Nearly 30,000 grains, such a large amount of goods without customs clearance is absolutely impossible.
However, the Li family's freight has been out for so long, but there is no news from the secret plates of the various checkpoints, which shows that the customs clearance documents of the Li family's goods are by no means incense!
This is also their biggest omission, all the way only let each checkpoint check the incense, but the other goods are released all the way, and they found that they had forgotten such a big omission, Ruan Xi looked at Ruan Yu uneasily.
“…… How will Li Jun deliver this shipment? Sitting down in his chair, Ruan Yu muttered.
Nie Tao and Ruan Xi's colleagues shook their heads.
"Quickly notify all checkpoints, all goods will be checked, and if the goods are found to be inconsistent with the customs clearance documents, no matter who they are, they will be confiscated!" Suddenly, Ruan Yu commanded decisively.
"Yes......" Ruan Xi's lips moved.
Perhaps this batch of goods has already left the jurisdiction of Daye.
"Quickly pass this information to the British king......" As if knowing his thoughts, Ruan Yu commanded again.
Ruan Xi's expression was shocked, "...... Be! He looked at Ruan Yu flatteringly, "I believe that with His Royal Highness the King personally taking action, a fly of the Li family will not want to fly into Ankang City!" ”
Looking at the black window quietly, Ruan Yu was speechless, and his dark and narrow eyes became a slit:
Li Jun, you underestimate the methods of this official and the British king, even if you ship ten more batches of goods, this official also tells you to go and have no return! (To be continued)
