"Tell me about it."

"My lord, now all the gamblers of the whole day have come to Lisboa, I thought about it, in addition to the novel gameplay of the Mingke cards you play here, the most important thing is that it is easy to win money, but since ancient times, if the gambling house does not win money, what is the picture?"

"Hehe, this is a trade secret, and I can't tell you yet." Chu Fan put down the tea bowl and smiled slyly.

Yang Dafu stood up, approached Chu Fan and whispered: "Then let the little guess, you want to temporarily release the water to attract gamblers, and when the other gambling houses are forced to close, you will start winning again?" ”

"No, no, no, that won't, we pay attention to integrity management, what is it now, what it will be like in the future."

Yang Dafu touched his head, couldn't figure it out, and continued to ask: "Then my lord, eating and drinking in the Lisboa gambling house is free, and you can even live for free. Even if there is a profit from the pumping, I am afraid that the most is to keep the peace, how to make money? You don't want to make money, do you? ”

Chu Fan saw that this person was quite knowledgeable about business, so he was a little interested, stood up, and said with a smile: "Then, guess, how do I make money?" ”

"My lord, if I were you, now people from all day long and even from the surrounding places come to Lisboa to play, and the other gambling houses will go out of business, and then I will increase the margin, and the more people I have, the more profitable I will be."

Chu Fan nodded, and began to appreciate the owner of the Tianshui Indigenous Gambling House, he could draw inferences from one example, his mind was active, and he was thorough at one point.

"Boss Yang is half right, I will definitely squeeze down the surrounding gambling houses, but I will not increase the pump, as the so-called thin water flows, gather gas and gather talents and wealth, popularity is up, the stakes will increase, the cost I pay has basically not become bigger, but the pumping will be more and more, why not make money? Someone in the gambling house loses and someone wins, as long as there are enough people, not afraid that no one will lose money, if you lose money, you have to make money, you have to borrow money, I will open a silver number in the gambling house, and eat interest will not be more profitable? ”

Yang Dafu, who listened to the words, was like an empowerment, and couldn't stop admiring, "Miao Miao seconds, why don't you make money like this." ”

I saw Yang Dafu kneeling on one knee, clasping his fists with both hands and saying: "Lord Chu, I am not talented, anyway, my gambling house is about to go out of business, if the adult is not too ignorant, the small one is willing to throw himself into the door, follow the adult, and let me give you the shopkeeper in the gambling house." ”

Chu Fan actually really lacks a shopkeeper, after all, his subordinates are not familiar with the casino business, and Wang Zheng's subordinates are also some big soldiers, so it's okay to let them gamble, but it's really difficult for them to let them manage the gambling house.

"You don't have to invest in the door, let's do a joint venture, you don't have to invest money, and you can renovate your gambling house and open it into a Lisboa branch, and you will be in charge of the store, and the money you earn will be divided in half."

"Thank you, the little one will live up to the trust of the adult, and will definitely manage the gambling house well."

Chu Fan stood up, helped Yang Dafu up, and said, "I have three rules, you can't break them." First, the gambling house is not allowed to play tricks, everything is fair, don't be afraid of others winning, as long as you don't change the rules, the gambling house always wins, you have to see the high probability. Second, gambling as a soldier is not allowed, and all soldiers in the guard are not allowed to enter the gambling house, and they must not affect the national defense. Third, it is not allowed to borrow more money, not to give people the amount of money that cannot be borrowed, and not to force people to have no way out. ”

"The small ones have been written down, adults and rest assured, the small ones must be done seriously."

Soon, Yang Dafu's gambling house was renovated, and the plaque was replaced here, and Yang Dafu's shopkeeper took office.

Since Yang Tai Fook took charge of the shop, the gambling house business has been getting better and better, and the good reputation and novel gameplay have made the casino crowd of people, and on the other hand, it is equivalent to a great favor for Wang Zheng, and the soldiers have no place to play gambling anymore, because all the gambling houses in Tianshui City except Lisboa have been closed.

The soldiers who had no place to gamble were very unaccustomed to it at first, and they didn't know where to go in broad daylight, and some even stood outside the Lisboa Gate and coveted the people inside to gamble, and the hairs on their hands grew in a hurry.

But after a long time, they found that since they stopped gambling, they actually saved money in their hands, and over time, they didn't want to gamble.

Soon, the work in the guard house changed greatly, Wang Zheng finally looked like an upright commander, and the health center organized training every day and the morale became more vigorous.

Seeing that everything was smooth here, Chu Fan said goodbye to Wang Zheng on this day, and was about to officially report to Ganzhou Wei, but Wang Zheng was unwilling to let Chu Fan go, and repeatedly asked Chu Fan to stay, Chu Fan saw the problem and said: "Big brother, what is the secret, resolutely not let me go to the post?"

"Second brother, this is the Hexi Corridor, the West Cool Desert North, the bitter cold land, how can I bear to let my brother suffer that sin?"

"Big brother, since the emperor has an order to send me to take up my post, there are people staring at this matter, and it is impossible not to go, besides, I still have important things to do when I go to Hexi, so let me go."

Wang Zheng saw that Chu Fan was resolute, and he had no choice but to tell the truth.

"Second brother, you were an official sent by the imperial court before, I didn't dare to tell the truth, today you insist on going, I can only tell you the truth, Ganzhou Wei north of the attack by Wara, suffering from the weak troops on the frontier, the enemy can not be the Wara cavalry, it is to the north of Ganzhou Wei The place is basically lost, only the remaining guard of more than 1,000 troops rely on the protection of the city wall to support the hard, wait for the weather to turn cold, Wara himself retreats, you go to Ganzhou Wei now, it is too dangerous, maybe the city can not enter and be captured by Wara."

Chu Fan was shocked when he heard this: "Why doesn't the imperial court know about this?" Do you dare to hide such a big thing? ”

"Brother, you don't know, I also took office as the Admiral of Shuiwei on this day to know, in fact, Ganzhou Wei is like this all year round, Warat people don't want land, want to be affordable, rush in to grab a wave, and then run away, Ganzhou Wei is basically not too blocked, as long as the weather is cold, Warat will naturally retreat, so year after year, this tacit understanding has been formed, I wanted to report this matter to the court, but after thinking about it, if this matter is told to the court, all the officials here will be implicated, I dare not pierce this layer of paper, I can only continue to hide it."

"Is this worth it?" Chu Fan gritted his teeth, remembered the hatred of the Mongols for destroying the Song Dynasty back then, and clenched his fists.

"Then I'm going to go."

Wang Zheng saw that he really couldn't stop Chu Fan, so he sent more than a dozen personal soldiers to escort Chu Fan all the way, and Chu Fan led a group of personal soldiers to the inn, and told the personal soldiers to guard the inn to protect the safety of Zhang Yutong and his daughter Chu Pingping, and took Qin Hong on the road himself.

At this time, it is late autumn, on the vast Gobi, the yellow sand is flying all over the sky, and two people and one horse are galloping in the desert, like a beautiful scenery.

Passing through a desert, high mountains appear in front of you, only a few miles away from the desert, but the mountains here are towering, and the mountains are lush and green, and they seem out of place with the desert next to them.

Chu Fan slowed down the horse, and slowly climbed up the mountain with Qin Hong, this mountain is not only high, but also very big, one peak after another, climbing higher and higher, Qin Hong hugged Chu Fan behind him, and his face couldn't help but blush a little with shame.

These days, under getting along with Chu Fan day and night, the little woman can't help but feel her heart, although Chu Fan doesn't confess, he no longer resists her inch, and even when she sleeps at night, she takes off her and doesn't treat her as an outsider.

After going back and forth, Qin Hong has become like Chu Fan's woman, and the two of them have become accustomed to each other, as if they have become a couple.

Usually when there are many people, I don't feel too awkward, but when the two of them are alone, they suddenly feel shy, and they ride together, and the inevitable physical contact makes the little woman blush and heartbeat a little shyly.

The higher and higher he went, Chu Fan felt a little out of breath, and when he heard that although the horse was walking, he kept panting, Chu Fan couldn't help but think, the altitude here should not be low, right? The mountain ahead looks bigger and taller, and the elevation should be higher.

Climbing over three peaks in a row, the scenery becomes wonderful, and the layers of clouds are coiled around the top of the mountain, and the green trees continue to rise from the smoke, like a fairyland. "Qin Hong, you see? The mountains here are so beautiful. ”

"Qin Hong? Qin Hong? ”

After screaming a few times, he couldn't hear Qin Hong's response, Chu Fan grabbed Qin Hong's hand, but found that her hand was surprisingly cold, and when he turned around, Qin Hong's face had turned extremely pale from red, and the person had already fainted.

Chu Fan was startled and shouted, "It's bad, altitude sickness." ”

Chu Fan, who was in the mountains, saw Qin Hong fainting, and couldn't help but feel at a loss.

This girl is really strong, she can't get angry, and she doesn't want to say anything, so she just holds back until she faints.

Chu Fan helped Qin Hong off the horse and laid it flat on the ground, seeing that Qin Hong's breath was getting weaker and weaker, Chu Fan had no choice but to take a deep breath, kiss Qin Hong's mouth, and exhale.

After more than a dozen artificial breaths, Qin Hong's face gradually became a little bloody, and he opened his eyes slightly, but he saw that Chu Fan was kissing his mouth, he was surprised, and under the shyness and urgency, he slapped Chu Fan in the chest, and in an instant, Chu Fan spurted out a mouthful of blood, and the person was also beaten out for several meters, and fell heavily to the ground.

"You... You........ Chu Fan was speechless by this sudden slap, clutching his chest and panting.

Qin Hong saw that Chu Fan was sent flying, only then did she realize that her hands were a little heavy, and when she got up, she saw that Chu Fan's cloak was rolled into a bucket and placed on the ground, which was the part of her headrest, and she realized that she had fainted just now, and Chu Fan was saving herself, but why did she use such a strange posture, she still didn't understand.

Chu Fan was also a little uncomfortable with the lack of oxygen on the plateau, and he had to give Qin Hong artificial respiration, so he was even more hypoxic, plus Qin Hong's last heavy palm, his eyes suddenly turned black and he fainted.

Qin Hong saw that Chu Fan was fainting again, and immediately panicked, rushed over to hug Chu Fan, but saw that Chu Fan's chest was full of blood, only the qi that came out, and the qi that could not be seen entering, in a hurry, fainted again.

This time it is really hopeless, one is suffering from altitude sickness, the other is seriously injured, and the two fainted together on this snowy plateau, if it weren't for God's kind eyes, it would definitely be hopeless.

But God may be in a really good mood today, so he didn't take this pair.

When the two woke up again, they were already lying in a Tibetan building, the air was wafting with a strong smell of ghee, and the sound of monks chanting scriptures could be faintly heard in the distance.

Chu Fan, who woke up first, gently patted Qin Hong's shoulder.

"Qin Hong, where is this?"

Qin Hong rubbed his eyes and looked around, also looking in shock.

Temple? Why in the temple?

This must be a Tibetan area, who sent us here? Chu Fan's mind thought about it repeatedly, as if he had crossed over again.

At this moment, an old monk walked in from outside, carrying a wooden barrel in his hand.

Seeing that the two of them had woken up, the old monk came over and said, "Oh Jiong, Anilongdong Yi Jigou, Hamhamhaka." ”

The two of them are completely blinded, what is this talking about?

"Master, did you save us?"

"Ahh

Well, the chicken and the duck talk, and no one understands anyone.

The old monk also scratched his head anxiously, turned around in a half circle, and suddenly had an idea, ran out, and after a while dragged a young man in.

It turned out that this young man could speak Chinese.

"Two donors, this is my master Jiayang Danzhu."

"Great, finally there is someone who can speak Chinese, was it your master who saved us?"

"That's right, when Master saw you fall to the ground, he brought you back, thinking that you might have altitude sickness, so he gave you a drink of Rhodiola, you have been in a faint for a day and a night, and you almost died, Master said that he didn't look like a bad person, so he brought you back, and then saw that you were not angry, so he gave you a drink of Rhodiola."

Although the little monk's Chinese level was average, and he spoke upside down, Chu Fan and the others still understood, so they quickly got up and folded their hands and bowed to the old monk to thank them.

"Ahhh The old monk spoke again.

The little monk translated: "The master said, are you hungry, please go to the front hall to eat." ”

Chu Fan's stomach was very cooperative with the little monk's words, and he cooed twice in response to the situation.

With the old monk, the two came to the front hall, the front hall is a Buddhist hall, there are four satin wrapped prayer stools between the four pillars, the innermost enshrinement of more than a dozen large and small Buddha statues, the hall is surrounded by yellow prayer flags, several monks are sitting on the prayer stool by the door to eat.

The rice here is very simple, the tsamba is mixed with ghee, kneaded into a ball and sent to the mouth.

In the highland climate, there are basically no crops except barley, and the people here have long been accustomed to this simple food.

Crush the barley noodles, fry them, knead them into a dough, and you can eat them.

However, eating only barley for a long time is not enough to meet people's nutritional needs, so the wise Tibetans scrape off the floating fat on the milk, store it, and close the ghee every time they eat tsampa, so as to fully replenish the amino acids, vitamins and proteins needed by human beings.

The unique geographical location has created a unique Tibetan food culture.

But for Chu Fan and Qin Hong, it was still a little difficult to accept.

Not to mention that the barley noodles are hard and dry, rough and difficult to swallow, and the smell of ghee alone is difficult for them to accept.

As soon as it was brought to the mouth, it was a little nauseous.

But in order to avoid hurting the owner's face, the two of them still swallowed two small pieces of tsampa.

Then he waved his hand with a smiling face, indicating that he was full.

The old monk looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression, the two of them who were in the prime of life, were they full after eating so much? The Han people of the Ming Dynasty had a really small appetite.

At this moment, there was a commotion at the door, and more than a dozen people wearing monk's robes rushed in, tearing the prayer flags at the door to the ground, and several people kicked the temple door with a click.

"Ah, Hasselblad, where is the total Haniha." The leader rushed into the main hall and shouted at the old monk.

A group of people rushed into the temple, and the old monk bore the brunt of it, blocking the front and arguing with the comers.

There were a lot of muttering words, Chu Fan and the others couldn't understand a word, looking left and right, and they didn't know what they were arguing about, only to see the monk who came to press the old monk to the ground and took off his monk's robe.

Seeing this, Chu Fan shouted: "Stop." ”

rushed forward, but was held down by the shoulders of the other two evil monks, unable to move.

Seeing this, Qin Hong rushed up two steps to protect Chu Fan, but suddenly felt heavy under his feet and couldn't jump.

He stretched out his hand and drew his sword, but he did not wield it.

Why don't you have the strength? Because they ate rhodiola.

Rhodiola rosea is a high-altitude herb that is effective in treating altitude sickness.

In addition to the discomfort of high altitude and low air pressure, the main problem of altitude sickness is lack of oxygen.

People are accustomed to living at low altitudes, and suddenly come to high altitudes, and the oxygen required by the human body is not satisfied, and people will gradually become short of breath, dizzy, headache, chest tightness, and even fainting, which is life-threatening. Rhodiola is used to reduce the amount of oxygen in people's blood and slow down their demand for oxygen.

Qin Hong's internal strength was all cultivated in the mainland, mobilizing the greatest functions in the body and emitting great strength. After taking Rhodiola, the level of functional mobilization in the body decreased, and the internal strength could not be generated, and there was no strength in the hands and feet.

Seeing that Chu Fan was about to be pressed to the ground together, Qin Hong was helpless, the sword was unstable, how to save people.

saw Chu Fan suddenly take out the three-eyed eyeball, "Peng." With a bang, a shot was fired into the ground.

Under the firelight, a large hole was punched in the ground.

Seeing this, the evil monk hurriedly let go of the hand holding Chu Fan and jumped back.

Chu Fan picked up the spear and pointed it at the evil monk and said, "Get out of here, otherwise you will die." ”

The people of the Ming Dynasty were not surprised by the firecracker, but the Tibetan area was relatively closed, and they had never seen this kind of magical thing, only listening to the sound of the extremely loud and powerful, and the power was also seen to be strong. ”

Throwing down the old monk, they hugged their heads and ran away.

Chu Fan picked up the old monk and asked the little monk, "What did the person do just now?" ”

"They are the king's family monks."

"You're all Buddhists, why do they treat you like that?"

The little monk folded his hands and said: "They are not Buddhists, they are actually the king's guards, they just wear monk's robes according to custom, and the king and they do not believe in Buddhism." ”

This is strange, since the introduction of Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty in Tibet, all the people believe in Buddhism, how can there be a king who does not believe in Buddhism?

"Which kingdom is this?"
