"Come in."

The door opened lightly, and the deacon from before led Mu Jingxi to come slowly.

"I haven't seen the steward yet." The deacon commanded.

"Cut!" Mu Jingxi was disdainful and gave the deacon a roll of his eyes.

"You!" Seeing this, the deacon was about to accuse when he was interrupted by the money steward.

"Alas, don't be rude to the guests, you go down first." Money Stewardship.

"Lord Steward, he's too ......"

"Get out!" Steward Qian said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, the deacon had no choice but to glare at Mu Jingxi hatefully and hurriedly retreated.

"Hehehe, little brother, the people under my hands are used to being casual on weekdays, if there is any rudeness, look at Haihan. Please. Steward Qian arched and said with a smile, then stepped aside and motioned for Mu Jingxi to sit down.

Mu Jingxi saw that the old man was also polite, and his face was much better, so he sat down immediately.

"Haha, it's really a hero out of a teenager, the little brother is not very old, but he has already become one of Jiuyao, amazing! Amazing! If you want to come, you must be a strong party one day! Qian said.

Hearing this, Mu Jingxi was happy, but he was still reluctant to be modest: "Hahaha...... Where, where, old gentleman haha... It's too famous, but in fact, the younger generation still has a puff...... A lot to do with these arenas hehe...... Seniors sneered...... Learned. ”

"Eh, why bother to be too modest, you have ambitions not to be old, and no ambitions to live a hundred years old! What are those puppets to learn from? However, in the old man's opinion, the little brother is extraordinary, and he must not be a thing in the pool. The stage in this world is for young people like you after all! Steward Qian did not hesitate to praise and compliment.

was wearing a top hat, Mu Jingxi also let down his guard and talked with the money manager.

"Seeing that the little brother talks extraordinary, I think it is from a rural village, the old man is clumsy, I don't know if I can reveal the little brother's family history?" Steward Qian is also an old fox, and on weekdays, ordinary people see that they are all respectful, like Mu Jingxi, there must be some origin, not to mention that he is already in the realm of Jiuyao at a young age, and he is not a simple background.

"This, forgive me for the inconvenience of divulging it below." Mu Jingxi said vaguely.

"Hehe, although the old man is not talented, he also knows some characters, presumably you and I have some origins?" Steward Qian continued to talk.

"This ...... Let's talk about it when we have a chance. ”

Seeing that he couldn't speak, the money manager had to give up, but he also sneered in his heart, even if you are a member of the big names such as the state and county orders, county officials, and county guards, don't think about living in peace if you move the interests of the manor!

After chatting for a while, the money manager also got to the point.

"Hehe, the little brother has recently beaten those manor masters, which is extremely brilliant." Money Stewardship.

"Oh?" Mu Jingxi was interested.

"Hehe, the current handicap is extremely satisfying to the old man, many guests have come from other districts to watch your game, and the traffic of the old man's district has increased by nearly two percent." The money steward smiled and said.

"Looks like you're happy with my performance." Mu Jingxi said with a smile.

"Satisfied, satisfied, but ...... Little brother...... If you lose the last game suddenly, the old man will be more satisfied! ”

"What do you mean?" Mu Jingxi put away his smile.

"The old man is straight to the point, the little brother is working hard, and he will win a thousand eight hundred at most in an event, why not make more money from him? The old man will do the work for you, and when you win three or four more games against him, the odds are highest, and almost all the guests bet on you, you will lose it! When the time comes, the old man will give you 30,000 taels! Qian said.

"Fake boxing? Help you short gamblers. ”

"Yes!" Money Stewardship. He has already calculated well, as long as the guests all bet on Mu Jingxi one-sidedly, when the time comes, he will be able to reverse the current decline, after deducting the possible deficit in the event that Mu Jingxi will win again, he can achieve an income of eight million taels in one fell swoop this month, who can still fight with him at the time?

"Not interested!" Mu Jingxi said.

"What?" The money manager suspected that he had misheard.

"I'm sorry, I only fight real boxing, 30,000 taels, and there is no temptation for me."

"If the little brother is too little......

"No need, farewell!" Mu Jingxi hugged his fists and turned to leave, his purpose was to practice, and he didn't have time to do these dirty things.

"Good! Good! Let's ride a donkey and read the record book. The money steward said angrily.

Walking in the narrow passage under the arena, on both sides are the imprisoned slaves moaning in pain, or slapping the iron bar, or the sound of the guards whipping the slaves, Mu Jingxi's footsteps are heavy, the longer he stays in this dark place, the more Mu Jingxi seems to feel the ugliness of human nature.

And the money manager also made Mu Jingxi see the greed of human nature again, in the eyes of such people, the lives of those racers and slaves are just tools for them to earn money. It is ironic that the ugly posture of those who spend a lot of money thinking that they are high and taking pleasure in gambling with the lives of others is just as stupid in the eyes of the money steward, who thinks they are in control, but does not expect that the money steward who serves them is also calculating them.

Barely calming down, Mu Jingxi pushed open the door and saw a group of people sitting in a corner of the stone room. Suddenly, an ominous premonition enveloped my heart - those people around were all close to Li Tao on weekdays!

Hurriedly pushing away the crowd, Mu Jingxi really saw the scene that he had already guessed but hoped he hadn't guessed!

I saw Li Tao lying on the "bed" set up by the bench, and a scar crossed his chest from his shoulder blade to his waist and abdomen, like a huge canyon in which a river of blood was raging!

"Ahem...... Cough! ”

A few violent coughs, the blood in Li Tao's mouth instantly sprayed on his face and neck.

"Hurry!" A racer who usually befriended Li Tao hurriedly poured the liquid medicine on his wound and instructed the racer next to him to feed Li Tao the pill.

"No, he can't eat it anymore!" At this time, Li Tao actually had spasms, and his lips were tightly closed. Seeing this, one of the racers said urgently.

"! You pry his mouth! Mu Jingxi stepped forward and pushed the man away, scolded angrily, and then hurriedly pried Li Tao's mouth open, and smashed the pill to pieces, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, and poured it into the water. Thanks to Mu Jingxi's decisiveness, Li Tao finally took the medicine.

"Does this medicine work?" Mu Jingxi asked the man who was treating Li Tao's wounds.

"Huh?" The man was a little dazed.

"Ask you!" Mu Jingxi said angrily.

"This ...... It's the best healing medicine we can get, it's just ...... The injury is so bad, I don't dare to ......"

Hearing this, Mu Jingxi's face sank, and then he remembered that he had prepared some medicinal liquid for himself at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and hurriedly took it out of the pendant, and was ready to pour it into Li Tao without caring about it.

"Little brother!" Seeing this, the racer hurriedly grabbed Mu Jingxi's hand and said: "This Li Taojing has taken the pill, we don't know if you have committed anything with this medicine and that pill, I'm afraid that something will happen if I feed it indiscriminately!" ”

Hearing this, Mu Jingxi also hesitated, yes, if the medicinal properties clash with each other, I am afraid that it will hurt Li Tao, but Li Tao's current situation is ......

Just when Mu Jingxi was in trouble, Li Tao suddenly coughed violently, and then suddenly spurted out a large mouthful of black blood from his mouth, and a bloody smell mixed with a pungent smell came instantly.

Seeing this, Mu Jingxi's heart suddenly rose to his throat, but the man who handled Li Tao's injuries was relieved, and said to Mu Jingxi: "If you vomit blood, I'm afraid he won't vomit ......."

Hearing this, Mu Jingxi breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Li Tao like this, Mu Jingxi suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

"How's it going?" A somewhat impatient voice came, and when he looked for it, it turned out to be a deacon of the manor, who was covering his mouth and nose, and was a little disgusted.

When everyone saw the deacon, they hurriedly greeted him, and the deacon waved his hand with some disgust and said, "Are you dead?" If you die, carry it away, and don't dirty the place. ”

The deacon's tone was extremely cold, and human life was so despiseful.

"You're looking for death!" Mu Jingxi was furious, and immediately burst into flames, waving his fists and wanting to fight.

Seeing this, several racers hurriedly escorted the deacon. The racer, who has a good relationship with Li Tao on weekdays, also hurriedly pulled Mu Jingxi away.

"You, you...... Daring! ”

The deacon was obviously taken aback, but he didn't expect Mu Jingxi to dare to attack him, and he was ashamed and annoyed all of a sudden, and scolded him inwardly.

"That is, you dare to be rude to the deacon!" A racer who was guarding the deacon behind him hurriedly responded.

"Humph! Don't look at your own identity, Lord Deacon is also something you can offend? ”

"That's it! What kind of character is the deacon, and it is your turn to speak? ”

......

The few racers who protected the deacon blamed Mu Jingxi one after another, for them this was an excellent opportunity to perform in front of the deacon, and naturally they couldn't let it go.

A racer who grabbed Mu Jingxi saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly spoke for Mu Jingxi: "Lord Deacon, my little brother is irritable, and you don't care about villains." ”

Although he was not familiar with Mu Jingxi, he had a good relationship with Li Tao, so he hurriedly pulled Mu Jingxi and said, "Brother, the deacon of this manor can't be offended, you can be soft." ”

Mu Jingxi also knew that this person was good for himself, but he was really angry, and looked coldly at the racer who was protecting the deacon opposite, he knew that he had nothing to do with these people, but they used themselves as a tool to flatter the deacon, looking at their flattering faces, Mu Jingxi only felt contempt. However, thinking that Li Tao's current situation was not good, Mu Jingxi also understood that it was not worth entangling with these people, and his clenched fist finally loosened.

Seeing this, the deacon thought that Mu Jingxi was afraid, and with the protection of the racers, he immediately began to mock coldly: "What? Not convinced? The grandfather just doesn't treat your brother as a human being, to tell the truth, even a dog in this manor is more expensive than your brother, and he doesn't look at what he is. ”

Hearing this, Mu Jingxi was furious, and just as he was about to make a move, he was suddenly grabbed by a big hand, and when he turned his head, he saw that it was Li Tao. I saw Li Tao shake his head and said, "To the ghost gate...... Guan slipped...... One circle, dead ...... No ......."

Seeing Li Tao smiling strongly, Mu Jingxi knew that he was letting himself not be impulsive, so he didn't plan to care, and Li Tao was ready to leave on his back.

"Some things just can't see you clearly, how much money are you really worth? What kind of life do you have the ability to come here and sell your life? Ah~, that is, I lost my reincarnation and became a man, if I worked hard before reincarnation, wouldn't it be good to be a woman, anyway, it's also for sale, wouldn't it be good to sell it in Qinglou? The deacon scoffed.

Hearing this, all the racers hated itchy, but they didn't dare to attack.

"But it's not too late now, I can't stand it to sell my ass here, and I'll wait for those good masters who have Longyang to exchange a few dollars......"

Before the deacon finished speaking, he felt Mu Jingxi's knife-like eyes, and he choked with fright, the deacons in this manor are not all martial arts masters, he is only in the realm of martial arts, he understands that if he really angers Mu Jingxi, he is afraid that he will not be good, so he will not dare to say it again.

Glaring at the deacon, Mu Jingxi left without looking back with Li Tao's head, but Mu Jingxi wrote down this account.

In the room, the money steward was flipping through the papers, and in front of him, two big men were beating a man in pain, and the sound of fists, kicks, and blood splatters mixed with the man's painful moans.

The man who was beaten to an inhuman shape was the serow who had previously lost to Mu Jingxi. After losing to Mu Jingxi, he knew that the money manager would definitely not let him go, after all, the money of the money manager was not taken for nothing, even if he ran away. Helplessly, he was already injured, and it didn't take long for him to be caught up by Qian Steward's men, and what he regretted most at this time was that he didn't stop his greed.

"Alright." Glancing at the dying serow, Steward Qian waved his hand and said, "Let's go feed the demon beasts." ”

The two big men responded with their fists clenched, and then dragged the serow away.

The deacon who went to invite Mu Jingxi before was also here, and handed a cup of tea to the money steward: "Why should the steward be angry, according to the small one, since the Pinghu horse doesn't know how to lift, then he will do it, and the small one can share your worries at any time." ”

"We'll be ready to send you."

Several deacons responded to the Tao.

Steward Qian took a sip of tea and said, "What do you know!" ”

"Yes, yes, the little one is naturally not as thoughtful as you, I don't know what you are going to do with that kid?"

Steward Qian stretched his waist and said: "That kid has not yet used martial arts, and he has defeated many good players in the manor, plus this person is so young, if he doesn't use any means, then his origin must not be simple, it is not a person from a big family like the county order, you can't be reckless." ”

"Yes, yes."

"In addition, this person has a good talent, if he can collect it for his own use, it is the best, and the old man thinks about it, and now he wants to make a lot of money, the best thing is to let him lose a game when the handicap is highest, think about it, if most of those guests bet on this person, then, hehehehe......"

"Lord Steward, high!" Everyone hurriedly patted their ass.

"Therefore, from the perspective of our interests, it is best to take this person for our own use, not only can we short the gambler at one time and win the first place this year, but we can also harvest a subordinate with high growth potential, this is the best!" Money Stewardship.

"And what if he doesn't want to?"

"Then find a strong person, or use some means, when the handicap is the best, he can also short, this is the medium. If you really can't do it, find a few good hands to kill him, and you can also stop the loss in time, this is the following! ”

"Wonderful! Wonderful! ”

"Okay, Zhang Jian and Li Hong, the two of you will find a way to investigate this person in the past two days, find out his origin, and prepare early. Xiao Kui, you arrange it, when the time comes, you really want to be him, and do it cleanly, don't get into trouble. As for the rest of you, keep an eye on him for the past two days, and try to woo him a little more by the way, understand? Qian said.

"Understood!"

"In addition, don't let the boss know about our recent business situation, otherwise the other districts will have to make a big fuss, if anyone says it, don't care if the old man is not emotional!"

"Yes!" Several deacons swallowed their saliva, they were most familiar with money management, and if it hindered his interests, even his own father could do it.

"Humph! This kid, it's better to work for the old man, otherwise ......" The money manager said coldly.

......

In the inn, Mu Jingxi handed Li Tao back to the end of the Ming Dynasty, Mu Jingxi still trusted the medical skills of the end of the Ming Dynasty, and now Li Tao was so injured that Mu Jingxi had to hand him over to the person he trusted the most.

"Squeak!"

The door was pushed open, and Mu Jingxi hurriedly stepped forward and asked the end of the Ming Dynasty, who had just left the door, "Teacher? ”

Yutai wiped his sweat at the end of the day, and then said, "It's okay." ”

Mu Jingxi was relieved when he heard this. Then he said: "I didn't expect that Brother Li's skills would be injured like this." ”

He knows Li Tao's skills very well, even if he doesn't use martial arts, he is afraid that he is not his opponent, of course, even if he uses martial arts, Li Tao is not necessarily Mu Jingxi's opponent, after all, the two have fought many times, and Li Tao has never used martial arts. So Li Tao was injured like this, Mu Jingxi was really surprised.

Yutai Mingmo was silent for a moment, and said: "I often walk by the river, but he is lucky that he didn't hurt the internal organs and meridians, I gave him some high-grade pills, and it won't be long before he recovers." ”

Mu Jingxi nodded, but he was still a little vigilant in his heart, he has been too smooth recently, it seems that this manor is still as simple as he sees it, you have to be careful!

"Alright, let him rest." Lantai said at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and then led Mu Jingxi away.

......

"That's the way things are, I don't think the money manager will just forget it." Mu Jingxi informed the end of today's events one by one.

Shantai was silent for a long time at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and it seemed that he still attracted attention, and as far as Mu Jingxi said, since the money manager was ready to borrow Mu Jingxi to make a lot of money, it showed that they would definitely not give up.

It seems that the protection of Mu Jingxi has been strengthened. Yutai Mingmo thought. Then he spoke: "In this way, you must remember these days, always be vigilant, even if it is healing medicine, water, and food, you must bring it yourself, so as not to be plotted by others." I think there's a good chance they'll find an opportunity to deal with you. ”

"Hmm." Mu Jingxi nodded.

Seeing that Mu Jingxi was also serious, he was a little relieved at the end of the Ming Dynasty. It seems that there are undercurrents surging in this arena, and Mu Jingxi is at the center of this undercurrent whirlpool!
