Chapter 264, I am willing to gamble and lose

"I heard that Du Gongzi always wins when he gambles?" Yang Peng asked. Dunant snorted, "It's okay, it's okay!" "The big battle between me and the Khitans, Du Gongzi was able to predict the outcome several times, which is really admirable!"

Dunant's mind was racing, wondering why the other party said such a thing, what was his intention? "Hehe, just guess randomly, I didn't expect to guess correctly, and I won a lot of money because of it, it's really a blessing for King Tuoyan!" As he spoke, he nodded and arched his hand towards Yang Peng. Yang Peng smiled: "That's your own ability, why do you have to thank me?" "Thank you, thank you! If there were no wise and martial Yan King, how could the grass people earn so much money! The grass people have to invite King Yan to drink a drink! ”

Yang Peng said with a smile: "I hope Du Gongzi is not just talking!" Dunan raised his eyebrows, "Although the grass people have a low status, they are also difficult to chase!" said that if you want to invite King Yan, then you must invite! Immediately, the chubby face showed a look of embarrassment, "It's just that the grass people are being punished now, and they can't fulfill their promises for the time being, so please forgive King Yan!" ”

Yang Peng smiled: "It's okay, it's the same when it's convenient for you!" Dunan hugged his fists and bowed: "Thank you, Lord Yanwang, for a lot!" Yang Peng looked at Dunan's exaggerated performance and said with a smile: "A small thing, but it can't talk about a large number of adults!" After a pause, "I think Du Gongzi is a talent, I wonder if Du Gongzi has any intentions?" If there is chaos today, it is really the time for Du Gongzi to show his talents! ”

Dunant shook his head, "I don't have that ability!" Hehe, the grass people are useless except for cockfighting and walking dogs, gambling and prostituting women, such a person is not the talent that King Yan needs! Yang Peng said with a smile: "People who are talents usually don't say that they are talents, since Du Gongzi said so, it seems that he is indeed a talent!" Dunan snorted, "King Yan praised it!" Don't dare to be, don't dare to be! Yang Peng saw this person playing Tai Chi vigorously, and couldn't help frowning: "Du Gongzi is extraordinary, and he must not be willing to work all his life, but why would he rather waste time than go out of the mountain?" Wouldn't this live up to Du Gongzi's ability? Don't Du Gongzi feel pity? ”

Dunant laughed mockingly, "Doing your best for His Royal Highness King Yan in exchange for a lifetime of wealth and prosperity is something that everyone dreams of, but I am not rare!" Yang Peng smiled: "Du Gongzi is really a person with great ambitions!" Does Du Gongzi think that helping me can't achieve your ideals? ”

Dunan glanced at Yang Peng, and at this time he had put away his previous cynical appearance, and said, "Since King Yan has said this, the grass people will simply find out!" Yes, King Yan can be said to be a peerless hero who has not been born in the past few hundred years, not only brave and unparalleled, but also broad-minded and resourceful! It seems that it is not impossible for King Yan to create a strong dynasty similar to the Tang Dynasty! It seems that I should be satisfied with such a master! ”

After a pause, Dunant's eyes radiated with pride, "But although the grass people are not talented, they are a person who stands up to the sky, and they don't want to be slaves!" In addition, even if you can create a glorious dynasty like the Tang Dynasty, it is not a world with one surname, and the **** ministers are just domestic slaves to put it bluntly! Then he returned to the appearance of Hang'er Lang as a giggle, "The grass people still feel more comfortable being a swinger!" Dunan said, secretly paying attention to Chen Xiao's expression, he speculated that Yang Peng, as the famous King of Yan, listened to his words, although he was not guilty, but he was afraid that it would be difficult to hide his anger, but what Dunan saw was still a smiling face, a smile of appreciation, and there was no anger when his authority was challenged.

Dunant was surprised, and said secretly: Didn't he understand what I meant? No, who is King Yan, what I said is so clear, how can there be a reason that I can't understand!

As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, he thought that the other party had already made a killing move, which was a little unexpected for him, and at the same time he felt a little disappointed, he originally thought that Yang Peng, the king of Yan, was a hero who had not been born for hundreds of years, but he didn't expect to see him wrong! smiled bitterly, hugged his fists and said: "King Yan, the grass people's nonsense is just the grass people's own thoughts, which offended the Yan King, please punish the Yan King!" The grass people are willing to be punished, and they will never dare to complain! However, the parents of the grass people are innocent, please read it to their merits, don't implicate them! ”

Yang Peng smiled: "Although you are dissolute and uninhibited, you regard Confucian morality as dung, but you still love your parents!" ”

Dunant smiled, "Confucian morality is not all rubbish!" But I didn't want to learn any morality, I just thought that in my heart, and I did that! My parents treat me like a mountain, and I am naturally willing to break my bones for them, and I will not do anything reluctant if I am reluctant to do it! Hmph, the benevolence and morality in the world are regarded as the golden rule, but in fact, how many people are really willing to do it? It's nothing more than pretending to gain fame! It's disgusting! If I am a wicked person, I will be completely evil, so why should I pretend to be such a hypocrisy? In life, you should be arbitrary and unrestrained, what you are is what you are, why pretend? What's the point of something in disguise? It's like drawing a pancake on paper, it looks like a pancake, but can it satisfy hunger? A fake is a fake after all! ”

Yang Peng couldn't help but applaud, "Okay! Well said, well said! You are not only a talent, but also a bright and upright man! ”

Dunan looked at Yang Peng and blinked stupidly, "You, you...... Yang Peng smiled: "Du Gongzi thought that his previous words angered me, and I would kill you, even your parents would not let go?" Dunant nodded. Yang Peng couldn't help but think of Kangxi, who was praised as a saint by some people in later generations, that person is like this, if you are a person who does not want to be his minion, he will ravage you and trample on you spiritually, and even destroy you, Yang Peng is very disapproving. Yang Peng smiled: "You are a little woman with a sharp heart, and you can't tolerate a person like you?" Hehe! ”

Seeing that Yang Peng's tone was very casual, Du Nan revealed an extremely sincere attitude, knowing that what he said was from his heart, he couldn't help but admire it, and said: "King Yan is open-minded, and the grass people admire!" Yang Peng looked at Dunan and said, "Although you also saluted before, your actions were exaggerated, which can be said to be insincere!" But now it's completely different, why is that? ”

Dunan said: "The grass people sincerely admire King Yan's mind!" Yang Peng smiled, "Although I admire it, I still don't want to serve me, you don't want to be a slave!" ”

"Yes!" Yang Peng nodded, "I also admire you very much for having such ambition!" I'm not going to force you, why don't we take a bet? Dunan didn't expect Yang Peng to say this at all, and looked at Yang Peng stupidly. Yang Peng took off a copper buckle on his belt, clasped his hands together, then squeezed them into a pair of fists, and said with a smile: "If you can guess where the copper buckle is, I will never bother you again, and let you be a free and unscrupulous rich boy!" But if you guess wrong, hehe, if you are willing to lose the bet, you will have to be my house slave! Don't you dare to bet on me! ”

Dunant smiled: "Isn't this unfair, if I win, it is nothing more than to maintain the current state, nothing to gain, but if I lose, I will have to pay the price for a lifetime!" Yang Peng said boldly: "Come with your request!" Dunan smiled: "I'm afraid that my request King Yan will not be able to agree!" "Tell me, as long as it's a good thing, I don't think I will disagree!"

Dunan smiled, "King Yan's words are really cunning!" After a pause, he hugged his fist at Yang Peng, "King Yan, if the grass people win by luck, I hope King Yan will promise me one thing, and I hope that after King Yan reigns in the world in the future, he can abolish the family system that has lasted for thousands of years, and change it to the Zen system in the Yaoshun period!" Cao Min's words really don't know the severity, but it is a great benefit to the people of China, King Yan is resourceful, I think I can understand the key, and please King Yan can put aside selfishness for the well-being of my Huaxia family! ”

Yang Peng looked at Dunan for a while, and Dunan calmly looked at Yang Peng. Chen Xiao nodded, "Okay!" I promise you! Dunan felt incredulous, "King Yan, King Yan, you agreed?" Yang Peng said with a smile: "Could it be that Du Gongzi still wants me to set up a document as evidence?" It's not impossible! "No, no, no, the grass people, the grass people believe in the Yan King!" "Good! Without further ado, let's guess! ”

Dunan looked at the two fists in Yang Peng's hands, there is no way to guess out of thin air, this is simply luck, success and failure may be half to half. Dunant doesn't like this, he still prefers to control the direction of victory and defeat! His eyes left Yang Peng's fist and looked at Yang Peng's face, seeing that the corner of Yang Peng's eye always glanced at his left hand intentionally or unintentionally. Dunan pondered: King Yan's resourcefulness is extraordinary, how could he reveal such obvious flaws, ah, I understand, hehe, he did it on purpose, making me think that the copper buckle was in his left hand, but in fact, the copper buckle was not in his left hand at all, but in his right hand.

Yang Peng smiled and said: "If Du Gongzi can't guess, it's better to admit defeat!" Dunan smiled: "I'm afraid that His Royal Highness King Yan will be disappointed!" If the grass people are lucky to win, please ask His Royal Highness King Yan to keep his promise! Yang Peng nodded, "This is natural!" I'm not a gentleman, but what I've said definitely counts! If you win, I'll grant you that request! Okay, don't be verbose, guess what, where is the copper buckle in the palm of your hand? ”

Dunant smiled, hugged his fists and said, "Accept it!" Then he pointed to Yang Peng's right hand, "If my expectation is right, the copper buckle is in His Highness's right palm!" Please open your hand, Your Highness! ”

Yang Peng sighed, looking very disappointed. Dunan couldn't help but feel a little proud, although he had done similar things countless times, but being able to win the prestigious Yan King made him feel a sense of accomplishment.

Yang Peng slowly opened his palm, Du Nan hurriedly looked at Yang Peng's palm, and the smile immediately froze on his face, where is the copper buckle in the right palm, it is clearly in the left palm! Yang Peng smiled, "Du Gongzi guessed wrong!" Dunant was surprised and couldn't help but say, "This, how is this possible?" Your gaze is on your left hand, it is clearly an illusion, and the copper buckle should be in the right palm! Yang Peng laughed, "You're right, it's really an illusion, but your Du Gongzi is very smart, so he will naturally look at my behavior from the point of view of a smart person, and he will definitely judge that my gaze is fake, since that's the case, I'll do the opposite!" Sure enough, you've been fooled! ”

Dunan smiled bitterly, "I have never admired people in Xia, but today I have to admire King Yan!" King Yan's resourcefulness is really too much better than mine! Bow down to the wind! Yang Peng smiled: "Since Du Gongzi lost, what should I do?" Dunant sighed, "I want to lose the bet!" Then he knelt down towards Yang Peng and bowed, "The slave meets the master!" ”

Yang Peng helped Dunant up, "It doesn't need to be like this!" You and I are brothers, not masters and slaves! Seeing the difference in his eyes, he immediately knew what he was thinking, and couldn't help laughing: "When I deliberately use good words to envelop you like those kings? Dunant snorted, "I don't dare!" Yang Peng said with a smile: "It's not surprising that you think so, how many kings have been there throughout the ages, and there are not a few who act, the more wise the monarch, the better he can act!" But I can responsibly tell you that all of what I said is true! Seeing that Yang Peng was very sincere, Du Nan couldn't help but believe it, and then frowned and said: "King Yan wants to reign in the world after all!" Don't you dare to be the brother of King Yan! ”

Yang Peng said mysteriously: "It's not necessary to reign in the world, you will understand in the future!" Dunant was puzzled. Yang Peng patted him on the shoulder, "Now that you are my brother, if you don't dislike me as a big brother, call me big brother." Du Nan hugged his fist at Yang Peng, "Big brother, little brother Du Nan meet!" Yang Peng was very happy, "Okay, I'm so happy to have a brother like you!" After a pause, "You can stay with me for the time being and be a staff officer!" "It's all up to the eldest brother's arrangement, the younger brother has no opinion!" By the way, big brother, there is another person in this state city, although he is not as good as the younger brother, but he is also a rare talent! "Oh? Who is it? "This person's name is Bai Tong, I have known each other since I was a child, the two of us studied together and participated in the imperial examination together, and now we are fighting cocks and dogs together, gambling and prostituting women!" Hehe, he always wants to win me, but he is always inferior and fails to do so, but his ability is nothing to say! ”

Yang Peng nodded, "If you can be similar to you, you are naturally a rare talent!" He smiled, "Since he's your friend, it's up to you to find him!" "No problem!" Yang Peng looked outside, saw Dunan's parents who were anxiously standing outside waiting, and said with a smile: "Let's go out, the two old people are just afraid that they are waiting anxiously!" Dunant smiled and nodded.

When Dunan's parents saw Yang Peng and their son walking out, they hurriedly ran up and looked at the two of them very nervously. Dunan smiled: "Dad, mother, you don't have to worry! The eldest brother is broad-minded and doesn't take the child's nonsense seriously at all! The two elders were stunned for a moment and looked at Yang Peng, "Big brother? Yang Peng smiled and said: "Dunan and I hit it off at first sight, and we have become brothers, and from now on, the two of us can be regarded as my parents!" ”

The two elders were flattered and didn't dare to say anything, and then Mrs. Du said very happily: "Du Nan actually worshiped His Royal Highness King Yan as the eldest brother, really, it couldn't be better!" Dunan said: "Since my son and King Yan have become brothers, I have to help my eldest brother, so my son is only afraid in the future, but I am afraid that I will not have much time to accompany you!" Speaking of which, this free and easy Du Gongzi actually shed tears. Mrs. Du didn't cry lightly, and then said angrily: "This is a good thing, why are you crying?" What a stupid boy! Dunant smiled embarrassedly and quickly wiped away the tears with his sleeve.

Du Cheng said with great relief: "Xiaguan has always been worried that this son will be useless, but I didn't expect it, I didn't expect ......, it's really good!" Yang Peng glanced at the chubby Dunan and said with a smile: "Dunan is a rare talent, and he may still be a peerless talent in this era!" ”

Dunan heard his eldest brother praise himself like this, although he had always been conceited, he was also a little embarrassed; The two elders were very happy, and no parent would not be happy when their son was praised. A few people chatted a few more words, and Yang Peng thought about Yang Erya, so he said goodbye and left. Dunan and Yang Peng left together, Yang Peng went to see Yang Erya, and Dunan went to find his friend Bai Tong.

Yang Peng came to Yang Erya's bed, and saw that Yang Erya's complexion was better than when he left, and couldn't help but be very happy, and said with a smile: "I'll just say, how much harm can a small wind and cold have, no, it gets better so quickly!" I think it won't be long before you're cured! Yang Erya blushed and whispered, "Thank you, big brother!" Yang Peng smiled, "We are a family, what is there to thank you for!" Yang Erya's heart was pounding, and she murmured: "The family ......" Yang Erya nodded: "Yes!" Isn't it just a family? Yang Erya was very happy, and her delicate face became even redder.

Yang Erya saw that the night outside was very good, the moonlight was like washing, and the air was fresh, so she said: "I think you are also bored in the room, why don't we go out for a walk!" Yang Erya blushed and nodded. Yang Peng immediately walked to the hanger and brought one of her robes. Yang Erya got off the bed, Yang Peng immediately helped her put it on, Yang Erya always blushed her cheeks, and her heart was pounding. Yang Peng held Yang Erya's slender hand, and Yang Erya looked at Yang Peng stupidly. Yang Peng gave her a very sunny smile, Yang Erya was very shy, hurriedly lowered her head, and was led downstairs by Yang Peng.

The female guards were surprised to see King Yan and their general walking out hand in hand.

Yang Erya saw the female guards, and she was shy, so she wanted to withdraw her hand, but Yang Peng held it firmly and couldn't pull it back. had to let Yang Peng lead him, but Zhen's head hung lower, the whole person seemed to be burning, and Fang Xin seemed to have turned into a naughty deer and slammed into his chest!

The two of them held hands and came to the small lotus pond, and those female guards did not follow suitably, and Yang Erya's shy heart calmed down a lot. The two held hands and walked by the lotus pond, Yang Erya was thinking nonsense in her heart, and she was very chaotic.

Yang Peng stopped and sat down on the grass by the pool. Yang Erya stood behind Yang Peng and looked at him stupidly. Yang Peng turned his head and smiled: "I'll tell you a story." Yang Erya felt very novel, "Big brother, can you tell stories?" Yang Peng smiled: "Of course," and then pointed to his belly, "Big brother has a belly story!" Yang Erya pursed her lips and smiled, walked to Yang Peng's side and prepared to sit down. Wait a minute! Yang Peng suddenly stopped Yang Erya, then took off his coat and spread it on the grass, "It's okay now!" Yang Erya was so moved, she sat down on Yang Peng's clothes, feeling very warm and not cold at all, and her heart was also very warm.

Yang Peng looked at the stars in the sky and said quietly: "Once upon a time, there was a beautiful woman who fell in love with a kind and hardworking man from a poor family, and that man also loved her very much,...... Yang Erya asked curiously: "Are they married?" Yang Peng sighed, "But God is jealous of this pair of lovers, so that the man has a very serious strange disease, and he is about to die!" The man's family was poor, but the woman's family was very well-off, so the woman went to ask her parents to help her save her lover. Speaking of this, Yang Peng paused deliberately, Yang Erya was whetted and hurriedly asked, "They must have helped their daughter, right?" ”

Yang Peng looked up at the stars and moon in the sky and continued: "They agreed to their daughter's request, but they put forward a condition," turning his head to look at Yang Erya, "Guess what condition they proposed?" Yang Erya lowered her head and frowned and thought for a while, but she couldn't think of it after all, and shook her head and said, "I can't think of it!" ”

Yang Peng said: "The condition they put forward is that the daughter leaves her lover and marries the son of the county master......" Yang Erya was shocked, "How can this be!" Did the woman say yes? She must not have said yes, did she? ”

"Nope! She said yes! Because she wants to save her lover, she is willing to sacrifice everything for him! On the night of her wedding to that son, her lover was finally saved! Yang Erya only felt sullen in her heart, shook her head and said, "I don't like this story!" She shouldn't have done that! ”

Yang Peng glanced at Yang Erya, "Do you want to watch your lover die?" Yang Erya said categorically: "Since you have given yourself to him, you can't be sorry for him in the slightest!" What if he finally saved him, I'm afraid that his heart is already like ashes, it is better to die! If the will of heaven is cruel, he will not escape death after all, why not go with him, even if he can't sleep in the same bed in life, he can be in the same hole after death! If I were her, I wouldn't have done that, and if he died, I'd kill myself and go with him!" Yang Erya's latter sentence was extremely calm, but she showed a very firm attitude, which made people moved.

Yang Erya saw Yang Peng looking at her in a daze, and she became shy and lowered her head. Yang Peng sighed, "It would be nice if she was like you!" Yang Erya's heart moved, and she asked curiously: "Could it be that, that woman is, yes......" Yang Peng shook his head, "No." He glanced at Yang Erya and said with a smile: "Don't guess!" Yang Erya didn't say anything, but the doubts in her heart always lingered. At that moment, a meteor suddenly streaked across the sky. Yang Peng couldn't help but admire: "Meteor! It's beautiful! ”

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
