Leaving the Loulan King's Palace, Shao Xi and the others returned to the inn again.

Wu Qiu'er was hungry for a long time, so Shao Xi asked the inn to stew a big pot of mutton for Wu Qiu'er and let him eat in his room, while he sat at the table with Lao Wu and chatted about today's affairs.

"Young master, you beat your chest very loudly in front of the king today, do you really have a way to help him win this horse race tomorrow?"

Although Shao Xi inquired about their racing habits in previous years from Fa Yize and those horse masters, when it really came time for the horse race to begin, he still had to make an impromptu decision on the spot.

It's impossible to talk to death about anything without it starting.

"I've thought of a way for a long time, but after the horse race starts tomorrow, I need you to go to the Western envoys to eavesdrop on how they arrange the horses for the race.

"You're better at this kind of thing than I am, and if I know the order in which they put the horses in the races, I can win two of them."

Lao Wu saw that Shao Xi was going to take action to find out the news on this matter, and immediately put on a posture to discuss the conditions.

"Then I can't work in vain, you don't care less about your idle business along the way, every time you toss the old man and me enough, this time I can't say anything in vain, say it! What's in it for me? ”

Shao Xi was not happy when he heard it.

"Hey! I said you're an old fellow, and now you've learned to negotiate terms with me? Didn't you just ask you to find out the news? You still want benefits from me, old fellow, are you not a master and servant now? ”

When Lao Wu heard Shao Xi say this, his beard immediately blew up, and he chirped crookedly: "Don't talk to me as a master and servant, I won't be able to live in peace for a few days when I return to the Central Plains with you."

"Especially this trip out of Kyoto Daliang, you haven't let me worry about this way, I don't care! If you don't give me any good, this time I won't care about anything. ”

Looking at Lao Wu's appearance of a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, Shao Xi was really out of shape for a while.

If this old guy really rolls the knife, he doesn't care what young master you are, it seems that if he doesn't get some benefits to coax him, he really plans to play tricks.

"You old thing, you can do anything for that girl since you have Ning'er, I'll let you do me a favor with so many conditions.

"To be honest, if you want benefits from me, do you plan to buy this and that for Ning'er after returning to Daliang?"

When Shao Xi said this, Lao Wu was still energetic, turned his neck up, and replied with an unconvinced face: "What about it?" Do you have an opinion? Isn't Ning'er your family?

"When did the stinky boy learn to compete for favor? I've been taking care of you for more than ten years, what's wrong with taking care of Ning'er's girl now?

"I'm just going to go back and buy this for her, so what? It's not that you can't afford it yourself, so are you still pointing to the old man and I'll buy it for you? ”

was scolded by Lao Wu so well, Shao Xi didn't know how to reply for a while.

Lao Wu is right, but Ning Er still calls you brother, you are so jealous, is it appropriate to compete for favor with others in front of Lao Wu?

Just like Lao Wu said, in the past ten years, Lao Wu has been running around for himself and taking care of himself for so long, and now he is taking care of someone else, what else is he not happy about?

Now I am not the six-year-old doll I was more than ten years ago, with ability, wealth, and status, is it difficult to compete with my little sister at home for this favor?

Didn't you keep saying that you want to take care of the people around you? Why are you still like a child at the moment?

Shao Xi suddenly found that he seemed to never grow up in front of Lao Wu, and it seemed that he had long been accustomed to all the care of Lao Wu, and he was also used to monopolizing this love and was unwilling to share it with others.

Maybe this is exactly how I feel when I treat Lao Wu as a real family!

"Okay, okay, what you said is right, I don't fight with you, you have a reason, right? I'm convinced!

"Don't you want favors? If you win this race, then all the rewards given by the king of Loulan will be yours, right? ”

When Lao Wu heard that all the rewards were given to him, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Stinky boy, are you telling the truth? If the horse wins this race, I guess the reward of the king of Loulan should not be less, and you kid are really willing to give such a large reward to the old man? ”

Shao Xi pinched his chin, with a sinister expression on his face, and a "sinister" laugh came out of his mouth.

Shao Xi's appearance made Lao Wu have goosebumps, and he squinted at him with disgust.

"The more I look at you, the less you look like a good person, and you look like you've succeeded in your tricks."

Shao Xi raised his eyebrows at Lao Wu and said, "If this Marseille wins successfully, what is the reward given by King Loulan?" I'm the one who wins from the casino. ”

Lao Wu couldn't help but snort, after making trouble for a long time, this kid didn't even look at the rewards given by King Loulan, and all his thoughts were spent on the gambling house, no wonder he promised himself so happily.

"Avzhele was Guan Yucheng's buddy back then, and over the years, people have finally improved in Loulan City, are you really embarrassed to bankrupt others?

"Isn't it a little unauthentic for you kid to do this? Besides, he may not be able to afford to lose so much of your money! ”

Speaking of Avrele, Shao Xi's mind turned to the matter of Guan Yucheng's bones.

"Don't you think it's a little strange when you talk about this Avgerle? Yesterday the two of us were already suspicious of him.

"When I went outside the city today, there was no Burning Sun Knife in the grave of Guan senior, and you and I both knew very well in our hearts, but his answer was that he didn't know, and even said that it might have been taken away by the person who dug up the grave.

"He doesn't seem to care about it, don't you think that's abnormal? As a buddy of Guan Seniors back then, he actually didn't know anything about Guan Seniors, and he didn't even seem to care much about the theft and digging of Guan Seniors' graves.

"Supposedly as he should be concerned about this matter, but I don't see this feeling from him, do you think there is something wrong with this person?"

Mentioning this matter, Lao Wu couldn't help but fall into deep thought, he and Shao Xi felt the same, and also felt that this Afger behaved extremely abnormally.

"Indeed, as you said, I also think that this man does not seem to pay much attention to the events of the past.

He said that he didn't know about the matter between Guan Yucheng and Shen Linyue, but he asked someone to send Guan Yucheng's relics to Yingyue Island, which proved that he should have known these things back then, but why didn't he want to admit it?

"And he lied to you and me that he buried the Burning Sun Knife with Guan Yucheng, and today you asked him about the Burning Sun Knife, he was also vague and perfunctory, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like he knows the real whereabouts of the Burning Sun Knife.

"If it's just because he can't trust you and me, then there's no need for him to take us outside Loulan City to dig up the tomb of the Jade City again, isn't this an extra move?

"He gives me the feeling that he wants us to believe what he says, and he doesn't believe us himself, if you and I don't know that the Sun Sword and those two secret books are indeed on Full Moon Island, maybe you really believe what he says.

"But now we know everything, that's why he's full of holes in front of us, why do you think this person is like this?"

Shao Xi put his thumb against his chin, listening to Lao Wu say these words, a certain possibility gradually appeared in his mind, but at the moment he was not sure about his judgment.

"You said he wanted us to believe him, but he didn't believe us, so what was his purpose in doing this? Why deceive us when you are on guard against us?

"I'm thinking, if he asked someone to send the Sun Sword and those two secret books to Yingyue Island, then when you and I mentioned last night that we were entrusted by the deceased to find the bones of Guan senior, he should know very well who the deceased we were talking about.

"If he knows who we are referring to, why is he so wary of you and me? It is completely unnecessary to deliberately conceal it when he knows that we know the truth, so why would he do it?

"There may be only one thing I can think of, that is, he was not the one who entrusted others to send the Sun Knife and the secret book to Full Moon Island back then, and he didn't even know the whereabouts of the Sun Knife, and he was lying when he said that he would bury the Sun Sword with Guan seniors.

If he lied about this, then the other things he said are even less worthy of belief.

He said that he didn't know what happened to Guan seniors back then, and he didn't even know the reason why Guan seniors committed suicide, which was absolutely unreasonable as the people around Guan seniors back then.

"Coupled with his current identity, I even wonder if he is Avger after all? But if he wasn't Avgerle, why did he know about his predecessors? Why did you bury Guan seniors back then? So, who is he? ”

Lao Wu nodded silently while listening, and he admitted that what Shao Xi said was not unreasonable.

In the gambling house last night, although the two did not directly mention Shen Linyue or Cheng Baiqiu, they did not even mention Yingyue Island in the South China Sea.

But from the word "deceased" alone, if the person who entrusted others to send the Sun Sword and the cheats to Full Moon Island back then was indeed Avrele, he would never be unable to understand.

So since he knew that several of them were entrusted by Yingyue Island to come to Loulan Kingdom, Ah Fuzhele should know that Shao Xi knew the whereabouts of the Sun Knife.

It is indeed counterintuitive to deliberately lie when you know the other person knows the truth.

The only explanation is that he himself does not know the truth.

Since he didn't know the truth, he naturally didn't know the truth that Shao Xi and the others knew, so he lied, he thought that he could deceive Shao Xi and Lao Wu with lies.

This proves that he was not the one who sent the things to Full Moon Island back then.

Cheng Baiqiu knew the name Avgerle because the entrusted person mentioned this name when he handed over the items to her, which indirectly confirmed that the entrusted person was indeed entrusted by Avzhele himself.

Then it can also be proved that the Avgerle they know now is most likely not the real Avgerle.

Could he be an impostor? But why did he pretend to be Avgerle?

If he didn't pretend, presumably Shao Xi and the others might not be able to find the real Afrele when they came to Loulan Country this time, so what was the purpose of his deliberate impersonation?

Lao Wu looked up at Shao Xi, he hoped to get some kind of answer from Shao Xi, but Shao Xi didn't speak, just frowned, as if thinking about something.

After a long time, Shao Xi suddenly jumped up and said to Lao Wu, "Go, go to the gambling house!" ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for Lao Wu, raised his legs and walked outside.

He jumped up suddenly, and said something like this, which startled Lao Wu.

Lao Wu muttered, "Why are you always startled, kid?" I thought of not saying anything, and asked the old man to guess the riddle, I said, can't you finish the sentence? Isn't it tempting to hang on to my appetite? ”

Shao Xi didn't look back, only said, "Let's go!" You'll know when the time comes. ”

The two didn't bring Wuqiu'er this time, but the two of them went straight to the gambling house, and on the way, Shao Xi stuffed his purse into Lao Wu's hands.

He instructed him: "After a while, when you arrive at the gambling house, you are still gambling like last night, when I tell you to stop, you stop, when I let you continue, you continue to bet."

"In short, you have the final say in how to bet, and when you bet on me, the real purpose of our trip this time is not to gamble for money but to find someone, don't make trouble for me when the time comes."

Lao Wu looked at Shao Xi with a confused expression, and couldn't help but complain.

"Looking for someone? Who are you looking for? What kind of medicine is sold in your kid's gourd? Can't you just talk to the old man now? Why is it always so mysterious? My brain doesn't spin as fast as yours, old man! ”

Shao Xi didn't seem to be in the mood to talk to Lao Wu at this time, so he just waved his hand and replied, "I'm not sure yet!" Now I'm telling you nothing, in short, I can do whatever you want, and I will naturally let you know when the time comes. ”

Lao Wu could see that Shao Xi's expression was extremely serious at this moment, which meant that he had discovered something, but he was not sure at the moment.

It seems that he wanted to confirm something when he went to the gambling house this time.

Since Shao Xi is serious about something, Lao Wu will naturally not be ambiguous, he knows that Shao Xi is not in the mood to joke with himself at this time, which means that this matter is very important, and Lao Wu is also unconsciously serious at this time.

It seems that it is not money that went to the gambling house to gamble today, but Shao Xi's judgment.

Shao Xi said that he was looking for someone, and listening to his tone, the person he was looking for was not the Afurel they knew now, but someone else.

Thinking of this, Lao Wu suddenly stopped and froze in place, he felt as if he had guessed who Shao Xi was looking for this time.

But why is this kid looking for this man? What does this person have to do with this? If you want to find him, why do you want to gamble in the gambling house like last night?

Shao Xi walked a few steps and found that Lao Wu stopped and stood in a daze, and urged impatiently: "What are you stunned?" Let's go! ”

"Why are you looking for this person? Could it be that he is the real Avzhel? Since you want to find him, why don't you just pull him out for questioning, and let me gamble in the gambling house? What did you kid find out about him? ”

Shao Xi smiled at Lao Wu.

"Let's go! You'll find out soon. ”
