"Do you think it will be useful to my old man with the method of agitation?" Nalan Changsheng smiled: "I've lived a lot of years, so it's better to save your routine." ”

Chen Rang didn't give up and said: "Could it be that the old man is willing to fight Grandpa Li for the rest of his life with a draw?" ”

"I'm old, I don't have the ambition I had in the past, it doesn't matter if I draw or not, life doesn't bring death or don't take it, it's all a false name, I just want to spend my old age in peace in the next few days, it's too tiring to polish a piece of jade, old man, I don't have the time, I don't have the energy, you go back." Nalan Changsheng waved his hand, and seemed to have made up his mind.

Chen Rang was not in a hurry, he looked at a game of chess on the stone table, and suddenly had a plan and said happily: "In this case, how about I make a bet with the old man?" ”

"What bet?" Nalan Changsheng asked.

Chen Rang pointed to the chess on the table and said: "Three games and two wins, if the old man wins, I will leave by myself, but on the other hand, if I lose, you must accept me as an apprentice, how about it?" ”

"Play chess with me? Haha, you're asking for your own death, okay, I'll let you die completely. Nalan Changsheng became interested, and Chen Rang also breathed a sigh of relief, not to mention anything else, but chess was taught by Cao Mingxuan's old monster, and he really wasn't afraid of anyone.

Seeing that an old man and a young man were ready to play chess, Nalan Yu also helped the two of them make a cup of tea when he had nothing to do, as far as he knew, in addition to Xingyi Boxing, his grandfather's chess skills were also unrivaled in Fangyuan, she didn't think that Chen Rang could win her grandfather in chess, didn't she say that the older this thing is, the more powerful it is? Just looking at the age, Chen Rang is three rounds behind Nalan Changsheng, which is the opponent of the other party.

Go to the house to make tea, and then hand the tea to the two, about ten minutes, Chen Rang has almost shown defeat, lost a cannon, a horse and two cars, almost broke a pair of arms, the offensive can only be defended, but Nalan Changsheng is like a bamboo, the double car killed Chen Rang by surprise, the offensive is fierce, like a sharp sword straight to the enemy's heart, and finally sixty hands later, Chen Rang stood to the last soldier, abandoned chess and surrendered, the old man smiled, and did not forget to comfort: "You are already good, The average young man has already surrendered, how long can you hold out. ”

"Less nonsense, don't think that if you win one game, you can win three games, keep going." Chen Rang was not convinced.

In fact, in the first game, Chen Rang was testing Nalan Changsheng's strength, so he almost immediately adopted a strategy of having a front and no back, but in the second game, he changed his strategy and stuck to the camp, which made Nalan Changsheng a little surprised, the chess is the same as the character, changing the sex is equivalent to killing him, but this Chen Rang is free to retract and release, and the second game is a little pressure on Nalan Changsheng, and he can't attack for a long time, so he is inevitably a little anxious, and as a result, Chen Rang killed a back horse pistol, and fought to the back, Chen Rang almost controlled the situation, and even could win, But he slowly slaughtered all of Nalan Changsheng's chess pieces, and Chen Rang didn't let go until there was a coach left on the chess surface, and he really had to report the flaws, and he didn't give any face.

Nalan Changsheng snorted coldly and said, "Stinky boy, the first game is really similar to my pretending to be a novice." ”

Chen Rang lowered his head and played chess, not arrogant, but drank tea, looking like he had succeeded in his treacherous scheme.

Seeing that his old man was deflated, Nalan Yu wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, so she could only hold back, thinking in her heart that someone could finally cure you, an old man.

At the beginning of the third game, Chen Rang did not appear as cautious as in the second game, but shot sharply, which was unexpected by Nalan Changsheng, both offensive and defensive, sixty hands were not won or lost, until half an hour later, Chen Rang's soldiers were dangerous, and the car was replaced by the old man's double cannons, which determined the basis of victory and defeat, and after a hundred hands, he barely fought a draw.

Nalan Changsheng was addicted, and couldn't wait to say: "Come on, come on, there's still a game, let's split the winner." ”

Chen Rang shook his head and said, "I won't go down." ”

"Why, as long as you win the next game, I'll take you as an apprentice." Nalan Changsheng was tempting and seductive, but he didn't know that he had fallen into Chen Rang's trap.

Chen Rang lit a cigarette and said with a smile: "Old man, you have been playing chess for most of your life, and I, only two or three years, the result of a tie is not considered to be your loss, it is too ungraceful, right?" ”

Chen Rang helped Nalan Yu, so Na Lanyu also helped Li Li and said, "That's it, grandpa, you can't bully us young people like this." ”

"Dead girl, elbows outward and not inward, the old man spoiled you in vain, so let's answer my question, who taught you this chess?" Nalan Changsheng was curious, what was the divine side that could teach such a demon knife.

Chen Rang said: "It's the old man Cao Mingxuan. ”

"It turned out to be that weird old man." Nalan Changsheng suddenly realized: "When I was young, I also owed the old man a favor, plus Long Fan's favor, it seems that if I don't accept you, I can't say it, tomorrow at six o'clock, you come to me, if you are a second late, you will go back for me, understand?" ”

"I understand, that kid will give the old man a cup of tea, which can be regarded as this apprenticeship." Chen Rang smiled and wanted to kneel.

Nalan Changsheng blocked his knee with his foot, then shook his head and said: "I just want to try your foundation, I don't want it if your foundation is not good, it's still early to apprentice, let's see your performance, let's finish this last game first." ”

"No matter whether you win or lose, the old man will not break his promise?" Chen Rang said slyly.

"The big husband is full of words, the horse is difficult to chase, and he plays chess." Nalan Changsheng said seriously.

Chen Rang obediently set up the chess pieces, since the other party has agreed, then there is no need to take care of his face, in the last game Chen Rang almost used all his strength, the chess moves were weird, Nalan Changsheng was amazed, Chen Rang was like a beast with a bloody mouth everywhere he went, less than thirty hands, it had already caused a dead end, and Nalan Changsheng lost convincingly.

He abandoned his son and admitted: "What a big-tailed wolf, pretending to be here with the old man, the third game has completely won me, but he still pretended to be a draw, do you want to give me a step?" ”

Chen Rang didn't admit it or deny it, Nalan Changsheng laughed and said: "Okay, someone can finally play chess with me in the future, remember, tomorrow at six o'clock, not a second less." ”

Since he had already persuaded the other party, Chen Rang didn't dare to bother more, lest the other party regret it, got up to say goodbye, and went down the mountain with Nalan Yu.

Nalan Changsheng looked at the endgame on the chessboard, then looked at Chen Rang's back, and thought: "This old man Cao is really clever, and the calculation time is just this day, but it didn't disappoint me, one life, two luck and three feng shui, and sending such a piece of jade can be regarded as allowing my old man to relieve his boredom, excellent, excellent." ”

On the way back and forth, Nalan Yu was a little surprised and said: "You are really powerful, not only fighting cows, but even playing chess, even my grandfather can't do anything about you." ”

"Of course, Young Master Ben is all-round, not only can he be civil and martial, but he can also gamble." Chen Rang said proudly.

"You really plan to go to Huang Daya's side to gamble, it is said that the field is not clean, Huang Daya has done a lot of tricks, otherwise my father would not have lost so much money." Nalan Yu said worriedly.

Chen Rang said with a smile: "How can there be a gambling house in this world that is clean, it's all about looking at the Tao, the road is one foot high, the magic is one foot high, doing business is like this, gambling is also like this, I plan to go now, do you want to go with me to see the excitement." ”

"You think it's fun, so I'm going to join in the fun." Nalan Yu is an adventurous girl, how can she let go of something fun that is rare.

So the two did not go back to the boxing gym after going down the mountain, but went directly to the dam street in the town, I have to say, this street is really prosperous, especially at night it is very lively like the night market, in addition to buying and selling things and food, there are also many street girls and gambling houses are opening, Nalan Yu said that although this is not a poor water and bad water, but it is out of the people, belonging to the three regardless of the place, just like the Kowloon Walled City in Hong Kong before, there are almost no police to this side, afraid that they can't get out.

This is also a local characteristic, Chen Rang thinks it's quite fun, under the leadership of Nalan Yu, the two entered a gambling house, the gambling house here is basically opened by Huang Daya, so you can enter any one, but Chen Rang told Nalan Yu to pick a family with the largest gambling money, and there is no time to play slowly from the smallest.

Although Nalan Yu didn't know what kind of medicine Chen Rang was selling in the gourd, he still honestly took Chen Rang to a house with the highest decoration, this place belongs to entertaining distinguished guests, and even the entrance has to give a tip of 500 yuan, Chen Rang wants to come naturally He paid for it, the two of them are a thousand, after entering it, Nalan Yu said curiously: "Here is 10,000 dozen, do you have so much cash on you." ”

"You don't need to bring your own money to any gambling house." Chen Rang said mysteriously.

"What do I need to bring?" Nalan Yu asked.

Chen Rang said: "Follow me and you'll know." ”

Chen Rang walked in front, because there were quite a lot of people, so Chen Rang subconsciously held Nalan Yu's hand for fear of getting separated, Nalan Yu was a little resistant at first, but seeing that Chen Rang had no other thoughts, he let him lead.

Chen Rang walked straight to a corner and said to a tattooed man who swallowed clouds and spitted fog: "Dude, the rivers and lakes are in emergency, how about nine out of thirteen?" Five-five to one, heroic and upright. ”

"Fifteen moons and sixteen rounds." The man replied.

"Deal." Chen Rangle said.

The man nodded to the younger brother next to him, and then the younger brother brought the chips, all of which were 10,000 yuan, a total of ten, that is, 100,000 yuan.

After Chen Rang took the chips, Nalan Yu was curious: "What the hell, he gave you the money if you just said a few words?" ”

"It's not just a few words, this is a black word on the road, this money is not given, it is borrowed, simply put, it is usury, nine out of sixteen to pay him back, that is, borrowing 100,000 to repay 170,000, understand?" Chen Rang explained.

"Then how does he know that you have the money to pay back, and if you run away, won't they suffer?" Nalan Yu was still a little puzzled.

Chen Rang smiled: "You can't run, the people who can put usury in this kind of place are the people in the casino, they are a family, they have been staring at you since you borrowed money, they want to leave, the gatekeeper will not let you go, and even if you don't have the money to pay back, there are still two kidneys on your body, and it is enough to cut one casually, so they are not afraid to lend you money, you borrow more, they are happier." ”

Nalan Yu has a lot of knowledge, but she is just curious, why does Chen Rang know so much? He doesn't look like a professional gambler.

This is the basic rule of the road, Chen Rang has been the person in charge of Shangyang District for so long, and he has to get his consent to open a gambling house in Shangyang District, so he has a lot of fun with these gamblers, and over time he knows some unspoken rules in the casino.

There are a lot of ways to play in the casino, such as fish, shrimp and crab and pai gow and wooden stoppers, Chen Rang is not interested in these, walked to a dice gambling size stall stopped, this kind of gambling is the simplest, bet on the size and leopard and the same color, big and small are one to one, leopard one to five, the same color one to lose three, a total of three dice, three dice together points above nine for the large, nine below the small, simple and clear, the easiest to get started.

The dealer began to carry out a new round of dice shaking, Chen Rang did not move in a hurry, but waited for the people around him to press away, calculate the odds and judge from the hearing and the dealer was about to open, he only pressed a big one in a hurry, and all 100,000 were pressed down.

This made Nalan Yu stunned, thinking that he was really a loser.
