"I lost my horse, nine to ten, look at the score! Nangong Wuxian pursed his mouth and said.

"Yes, I hope you restrained this thought, right?" Fan Xiaoqi couldn't help but ask

"No, I immediately put the idea into practice. Nangong Wuxian continued.

"Ah, it's yours!" Fan Xiaoqi frowned and shouted uneasily.

"I made a bet and lost again. ”

"Lost my horse?" Fan Xiaoqi asked worriedly.

"Lose your horse, seven to eight, a little bit - you know the saying. Nangong said calmly.

"Nangong Wuxi, you are so confused, I swear to you. Fan Xiaoqi complained.

"My dear, you ought to have said this to me yesterday when I told you my stupid stories, not this morning. I lost the horse along with the full saddle. Nangong Wuxian shrugged his shoulders and said.

"I'm really angry with you!" Fan Xiaoqi shook his head helplessly and said.

"Wait, you don't understand at all, as long as I'm not stubborn, I'm a very 'colorful' gambler, but I'm stubborn, just like drinking, I stubbornly ......" Nangong Wuxian said with a shallow smile and an indifferent expression.

"But, you don't have anything left, what are you going to gamble with?" Fan Xiaoqi asked with a glare.

"Yes, yes, friend, we have that sparkling diamond ring on your finger left, I noticed it yesterday. Nangong Wuxian explained.

"This diamond ring!" Fan Xiaoqi cried out, quickly covering the ring with his hand.

"I'm a connoisseur because I used to own a few diamond rings myself. I estimate that this one of you is worth a thousand copper coins. When Nangong Wuxian said this, a smug smile appeared on his face.

But Fan Xiaoqi was half frightened to death, and said with a serious face: "I hope you never mentioned my diamond ring, right?"

Nangong Wuxian smiled and said, "On the contrary, dear friend." You know, this ring became our only source of money: I could win back our saddle and two horses with it, and I wouldn't have to worry about the cost of the journey. ”

"Nangong Wuxi, you are so angry that I tremble!" Fan Xiaoqi shouted.

"So, when I mentioned your diamond ring to my opponent, he noticed it too. My dear, you are really, wearing a star in the sky on your finger, and you still want to let people notice!How is this possible!" Nangong Wuji pointed to the ring with his finger.

"You just say the ending, my dear, you just say the ending!" Fan Xiaoqi said, "To be honest, you really want my life if you are so unhurried!"

"We will divide your ring into ten parts, ten silver coins each. Nangong Wuxian said with his hands 'inserted' in front of his 'chest'.

"Ahh

Nangong Wuxian continued to smile and said: "No, I'm not joking, what the hell! I really hope you are like me! I haven't looked at people's faces for half a month, and I pour bottles of wine all day long, and I get dizzy. ”

"That's not a reason to gamble with my diamond ring, is it?" Fan Xiaoqi said, clenching his fists nervously.

"Listen to the ending: ten copies in total, ten silver coins each, after ten throws, add more money if you want to turn the book. I threw thirteen rolls and lost completely. Thirteen! The number thirteen has never been lucky for me. It was July 13th, and it was ......," Nangong Wuxian said with interest.

"Brute!" Fan Xiaoqi stood up from the table and scolded. The events of the day made him forget the events of the previous night.

"Don't worry," Nangong Wuxian said, "I had a plan in mind. That guy is a weirdo, and I saw him talking to Xiao Zhao in the morning. Xiao Zhao told me that the guy was trying to hire him as a sidekick. So I bet Xiao Zhao with him and divided the taciturn Gremer into ten parts. ”

"Ahh

"Just take Grimer as a bet, but you understand! I took Xiao Zhao into ten parts, and it was not worth ten silver coins in total, but I used him to win back the diamond ring. Now you say that stubbornness is not a virtue. "Nangong Wuxian said this, 'dew' a kind of complacent 'color'.

"This is so funny!" Fan Xiaoqi breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't stand up with a straight smile.

"You see, I thought I was lucky, and I immediately made another bet on the diamond ring. ”

"Oh hell. When Fan Xiaoqi heard this, he frowned, and his face was full of 'cloudy' clouds.

"I won your saddle back, I won your horse back, and I won my saddle and horse back, but then I lost again. In the end, I won back your saddle and my saddle. That's the result so far. I thought it was a good result, so I quit and stopped betting. When Nangong Wuxian said this, a faint sadness appeared on his originally elated face.

Fan Xiaoqi seemed to be pressing the entire inn on his 'chest' just now, but now he finally moved out and exhaled deeply.

Then, timidly, he asked, "The diamond ring is still mine in the end, right?"

"Leave it as it is, my dear friend, and add the saddle of your mount and the saddle of mine. Nangong Wuxian said with a smile.

"But, what are you doing without a horse to saddle?" Fan Xiaoqi said with a slight frown.

"Well, I have an idea. Nangong Wuxian said, this 'dew' showed a mysterious expression.

"Nangong Wuxi, you really make me chill. Fan Xiaoqi had a premonition that nothing good happened, so he sighed.

"Listen to me, you haven't gambled for a long time, haven't you, Fan Xiaoqi?" Nangong Wuxian said as he looked at Fan Xiaoqi's face.

"I don't want to bet at all. Fan Xiaoqi said with a non-annoying face.

"Don't die. I said you haven't gambled in a long time, and your luck might be good. Nangong Wuxian 'revealed' a 'very' confident look, like he encouraged.

"Hmm, so what?" Fan Xiaoqi let out a breath and said.

"Well, that guy and his buddy are still there. I noticed that they were very sorry for the two pairs of saddles. And you, as for you, seem to be very reluctant to give up your horse. If I were you, I'd gamble on my horse with my saddle. ”

"But they don't just need a pair of saddles. Fan Xiaoqi said puzzled.

"Then take two pairs and gamble, I don't have to say! I'm not as selfish as you. Nangong Wuxian spread his hands and said.

"Do you think this will do?" Fan Xiaoqi asked hesitantly, Nangong Wuji's confidence had unconsciously affected him.

"No jokes, two pairs of bets together. Nangong Wuxian said with a firm face.

"However, having lost my horse, I really wanted to keep the two saddles. Fan Xiaoqi said steadily.

"Then take your diamond ring and gamble. ”

"Ahh Absolutely not, absolutely not. Fan Xiaoqi shook his finger lightly and said.

"Hell," Nangong Wuxian said, "I would love to suggest that you gamble with Planchet, but I have already gambled with my henchmen, and the British may not want to do it." ”

"I don't do it, dear Atos," Fan Xiaoqi said, "I don't want to risk anything." ”

"It's a pity. Nangong Wuxian said coldly, "The guy who gambled with me yesterday has money. Oh my God, you just try once, and a roll of the dice is all and you're done. After speaking, he glanced at Fan Xiaoqi with firm eyes.

Fan Xiaoqi couldn't help but avoid Nangong Wuji's lethal eyes, thought for a moment, and then replied, "What if I lose?"

"You're going to win. Nangong Wuxian said without hesitation. His face was now more confident.

"This ......" Fan Xiaoqi hesitated for a while, and then said, "But what if you lose?"

"Then you give them two pairs of saddles. ”

"Okay, just throw it once. Fan Xiaoqi agreed, but there was still a trace of unconfidence on his face.

In this way, Fan Xiaoqi finally agreed to Nangong Wuji, a big gambler's 'exciting' and dangerous suggestion.

Subsequently, Nangong Wuxian went to find the gambler and found him in the stable, only to see him carefully looking at the saddle with a greedy gaze. The timing is good. Nangong Wuxian put forward his own conditions: two pairs of saddles are worth a horse or a hundred silver coins, and he chooses as much as he chooses. The guy figured it out in a flash: two saddles were worth three or four hundred copper coins. He immediately agreed.

Fan Xiaoqi's hands trembled when he threw the dice, and he rolled three points. His pale face startled Nangong Wuxian for a moment. Nangong Wuxian just said, "This one didn't make a good throw, man." Sir, not only do you have two horses, but you also have a saddle. ”

The gambler was so proud that he thought he had won the victory, so he took the dice and threw it on the table without even shaking it or looking at it.

"Look, look, look!" Nangong said without a trace, "This dice roll is really unusual, I have only seen it four times in my life: two." ”

The gambler was dumbfounded when he saw it, and Fan Xiaoqi smiled when he saw it. "Yes," said Nangong Wuxian again, "I have only met four times: once at Mr. Clezie's house, and once at my house, in the country...... In the castle, I owned a castle at that time, the third time in a nobleman's house, we were all surprised, and finally the fourth time in a small hotel, I threw it, for which I lost a hundred louis and a supper. ”

In this way, the gentleman won back his horse. The gambler said.

"Naturally. Fan Xiaoqi said.

"Then can't you turn it over again?" asked the gambler with a smile.

"We have already agreed in the conditions: we can't turn it over. Do you remember?" said Fan Xiaoqi in a flat tone.

"Not bad. I'll give it back to your henchman, sir. The gambler took Fan Xiaoqi's words and said.

"Wait a minute," Nangong Wuji said, "Sir, allow me to say a word to my friend. ”

"Please. The gambler said with a wave of one hand.

So, Nangong Wuxian turned around and pulled Fan Xiaoqi to the side.

"Hey," Fan Xiaoqi said to him, "what else do you want me to do? You seducing guy, you want me to gamble again, do you?"

"No, I want you to think about it. Nangong said blandly.

"What are you considering?" asked Fan Xiaoqi with a frown.

"You're going to get that horse back, aren't you?" Nangong Wuxian said as he looked at Fan Xiaoqi with a 'seductive' and 'confused' look.

"Of course. Fan Xiaoqi's eyes lit up and he said affirmatively.

"You're wrong. I'd rather have a hundred silver coins. You know, you bet on the horse with two saddles or a hundred silver coins, you choose. ”

"Not bad. Fan Xiaoqi nodded and said.

"If I am the one who asks for a hundred silver coins. ”

"But I love that horse. Fan Xiaoqi looked at Nangong Wuxian with inquiring eyes.

"So I say it again: you're wrong. What is the use of two of us, one horse? I can't ride behind, so wouldn't we pick up the sesame seeds and lose the watermelon? And you, you can't ride such a beautiful horse next to me and disgrace me. If it were me, I wouldn't hesitate for a moment, and immediately go and get a hundred silver coins. We're going back to Paris and we're in need of money. ”

"I want that horse, Nangong has no trace. Fan Xiaoqi said with a pleading look.

"You are wrong, friend, a horse will miss its forehooves, it will bruise its wrist joints, and it may have been eaten by a man with meliasis in the manger where it eats forage, so that it is better to lose a hundred denarii for nothing, and if a horse is to be fed by its master, a hundred denarii will give the owner food and drink. Besides, we're running out of money for this mission. Nangong Wuxian patiently explained.

"But...... How are we going back?" Fan Xiaoqi thought for a moment and continued.

"Riding the horses of our followers, it goes without saying! From our appearance, people can always tell that we are people of status. ”

"Let's ride a pony, and Zhao Yu and Chen Tie are running next to us on a tall horse, that's beautiful!" Fan Xiaoqi added.

"Zhao Yu and Chen Tie, those two guys, hahaha!" Nangong Wuxian laughed.

"What's wrong," Fan Xiaoqi asked, feeling inexplicable at his friend's smile.

"Okay, okay, keep talking. Nangong Wuxian said.

"So, your opinion is ......"

"Take a hundred pieces of silver, d'Artagnan. With a hundred strokes, we can eat and drink spicy food until the end of the month. We're all tired enough, and it's time to take a break. Nangong Wuxian continued to explain.

"Take a break!ah! No, Nangong Wuxian doesn't have time to rest now, have you forgotten our mission?" Fan Xiaoqi reminded Nangong Wuxian in a slightly 'excited' tone.

"Yes, but do you think your horse is as useful as a good gold coin, and take a hundred silver, friend. Nangong Wuxian said with a frown.

As long as the other party is reasonable, Fan Xiaoqi has nothing to disagree. He thought that was a very good reason. Besides, if he continued to persist like this, he was worried that he would appear 'selfish' in Nangong Wuji's mind. He accepted Nangong Wuji's opinion and chose a hundred silver coins. The gambler counted him on the spot.
