Chapter Forty-Six: Picking Up Cheap
With Sun Boyang, an outsider, Lu Cheng naturally can't go to the table, and he can't "live up" Sun Boyang's praise for him. So his task is to pour wine for others. There was Ding Yu's demonstration just now, and he is learning from it now. Lu Cheng's approach made Lu Zhong feel very face-saving. Although his son has not cultivated his internal strength, he knows books and etiquette, and he really doesn't have to worry about it at all.
If it is replaced by Liang Hao tonight, I am afraid that he will also sit on the table with a big knife and eat meat, faster than anyone else. And Lu Cheng would rather not eat a mouthful of meat, but also pour them wine. For this alone, Lu Cheng felt that Lu Cheng was far stronger than Liang Hao.
"Lu Zhong, I'll give you a drink, although it was your merit last night, our guards have a light on their faces. I heard that the dead man was also a third-layer peak of internal strength, but he was captured alive, it seems that you are still immortal. Sun Boyang always wanted to ask about it in his heart, but he didn't find the opportunity.
Although Lu Zhong is also the peak of the third layer of internal strength, he is sixty-two after all, and his muscles and bones are already stiff, if he encounters the late stage of the third layer of internal strength that is younger than him, I am afraid that he will be slightly inferior. But now the man in black is only in his thirties, which is the age of young and strong, and he just wants to escape, but he can be captured by Lu Zhongsheng, he can't figure it out.
Could it be that Lu Zhong has been promoted to the fourth layer of internal strength? This is impossible. If Lu Zhong really entered the fourth layer of internal strength, he would not look so old. Moreover, as long as he is promoted to the fourth level of internal strength, Zhuang Li will increase the monthly salary and serve as his deputy. This was said by Song Yiqun himself, and Lu Zhong had no reason to hide it.
"Sun Tou won the prize, and I also hit it by mistake, and the blind cat ran into a dead mouse. Lu Zhong said humbly. But his words were indeed from the heart, and this time it was indeed the blind cat who met the dead mouse. The man in black had already been badly injured before he did it himself. It's just that no one mentions it, so naturally he won't talk about it to the outside world.
"Sun Tou, I heard that the owner's house is going to be renovated?" Zhao Siyan suddenly asked, the owner's yard was originally guarded outside, but since last night, they were suddenly not allowed to approach, saying that it was going to be repaired. But the repair didn't need to stop their guards from approaching, and this thing was very unusual.
"Yes, since we didn't get involved in this matter, it's better to have more than less. But tomorrow Li Yuncong of the Li family and Ye Tianlong of Ye Jiabao will compete with the second young master, and we have to cheer up. Tonight, each person can only drink three more glasses, but we can't miss tomorrow's business. Sun Boyang admonished.
"Sun Tou, tomorrow's competition is actually nothing to look forward to, which competition in the past two years has not been the first place for our Songjiazhuang?" Xie Naxin said with a smile, the other two families do not have young disciples of the fourth layer of internal strength, and no matter how the two families compete, it is just a shame for themselves.
"Not necessarily. Sun Boyang smiled mysteriously.
"Sun Tou, I heard that the Quartet Gambling House has opened a handicap for tomorrow's competition, betting on the second young master to win is one to three, and betting on the other two to win is one to fifty. Xie Naxin said that he was a gambler and was naturally very concerned about such a thing.
"Liu Dingkai wanted to shoot the owner's ass, one to pay three, this time he had to go bankrupt. Sun Boyang said that although he felt that there might be changes in tomorrow's competition, Song Kaixuan's strength was here. If the Quartet Gambling House offers such odds, it will only die miserably.
Xie Naxin heard Sun Boyang say this, and had an idea in his heart. It's just that he is penniless now and has no capital, even if he can win nine times out of ten, he can only be in a hurry. Xie Naxin suddenly saw Lu Cheng standing next to him, and his eyes suddenly brightened.
Because Sun Boyang was not allowed to drink more, the meal was quickly finished. Sun Boyang also understood people, he knew that Lu Cheng had been standing, so he left early. He also had to arrange patrols at night, and the safety of the village could all be pinned on him.
"Cheng'er, hurry up and sit down and eat. As soon as Xie Naxin waited for Sun Boyang to leave, he immediately pulled Lu Cheng over and sat down.
"Big brother, what happened last night, can you tell us?" Zhao Siyan was thoughtful, and guessed that it might not be so simple to capture the man in black last night.
"We'll talk about that later. Lu Zhong glanced at Lu Cheng, he wouldn't hide this matter from the two sworn brothers, but he couldn't let Lu Cheng know. The young man is not strong-mouthed, and if it gets out, I'm afraid all the guards will be punished.
Where did Lu Zhong know, the clearest thing about this matter was actually Lu Cheng. Even for him, a lot of things are guessworked. Of course, Lu Cheng would never talk at this time, he just ate his head. After eating, I also found a reason to go back first. It's better for him to pretend not to know about this matter.
"Big brother, can you always talk about it now?" Zhao Siyan asked as soon as Lu Cheng left.
"Actually, it's really hard to talk about. The reason why I was able to capture the dead man alive was because someone secretly helped. But I don't know whether the helper is male or female, old or young, or whether he is friend or foe. Lu Zhong sighed and told the story of last night as it was.
"Big brother, so you just picked up a bargain for nothing?" Xie Naxin asked in surprise, he thought to himself, how could such a good thing not fall on his head? If he can have a reward of twenty taels of silver, he can now go to the Sifang Gambling House to gamble.
"Well, you can't say anything about it, or we'll all be punished. Lu Zhong admonished.
"Big brother, since you have the easy money, why don't you go to Huamanlou at night to have fun?" Zhao Siyan said with a meaningful smile, they have never married, and the problem of men can naturally only be solved in a place like Huamanlou.
"Big brother, I want to go to the Sifang Casino, or ......" Xie Naxin stopped talking, the fun he was looking for in Huamanlou was definitely not as big as the Sifang Casino. In fact, both places are a treat for him. It's just that the Quartet Casino brings him more fun.
"Second brother, you can't gamble anymore. If you want to go with us to spend a lot of money, big brother is in for a treat. But if you want to go to the Sifang Gambling House, the eldest brother can't help it. Lu Zhong said that the money Xie Naxin made was basically thrown in the Sifang Gambling House.
Xie Naxin finally followed Lu Zhong to Huamanlou, he was a man and also needed to solve his physiological needs. Although he is in his fifties, at this age, this age is not too old for a person who practices martial arts. If they can enter the fourth layer of internal strength, even if it is another twenty years, they will still be alive and well.
