Chapter 41: Li Yuanbao
Everyone was almost gone, only the owner of the gambling house was still sitting on one side, he was trembling on the side, he didn't want the two of them to fight, at least not in his own gambling house.
The old man held the domino and looked at the five protectors and said, "I'm old, it's not a wise choice to fight and kill and kill now." ”
The Fifth Dharma Protector sneered and said, "Then what are you looking for me? The old man squinted his eyes and nodded, "That's right, it's just to make a bet with you." ”
As he spoke, the old man picked up the teacup with his thumb and middle finger, raised his head and drank it all, then he turned his head to look at the boss next to him and said, "Look, don't hurry up and refill my tea." ”
The owner of the gambling house immediately nodded to go, but the old man stopped him again: "Wait." The old man looked at the Five Protectors and said, "Do you want to drink some too?"
The Five Protectors stretched out their hands and grabbed his dominoes, then he stared at the old man and said, "I'm sorry, I don't like tea. ”
The old man then let the casino owner leave, and then he stared at the five protectors and said, "How about you and I bet on a game of life and death?"
The Fifth Dharma Protector stared at the old man and said, "I really want to know what kind of life and death situation it is. The old man said unhurriedly: "Life and death are only bets on the life and death of one person." ”
The five protectors seemed to have a comprehension and said: "If you win, I live, if you lose, I die, it has nothing to do with you, this gamble is a little unfair, but it shows that you are very confident and confident." The old man shook his head slowly and said, "You are wrong. The Five Dharma Protectors were stunned and said, "Am I wrong?
"Gambling on a person's life and death is not a bet on you, it is a bet on mine, if you win, I will die, you continue to do what you want to do, if I win, you will leave the Great Nine City happily, and you will not be involved in the Xie family. The old man's last words were said with a solemn face.
At this time, the casino owner came over and poured tea for the old man, and then stood aside respectfully again.
The Fifth Dharma Protector thought for a while and looked at the old man and said, "Does this mean that you don't have enough confidence to solve your family?" Are you afraid of me, so you came up with an expedient measure, if this is the case, I will suffer a lot, it is good to win the bet with you, if I lose, I will lose and I can have won." ”
The old man smiled and said, "I can find you and then sit with you already means that you can't win at all, and I don't want to increase casualties with you because I want to bet with you." ”
"Then if you say so, you've already won. The Five Protectors said coldly: "But I think you are doomed!"
The old man shook his head and said, "The cards are not opened, who knows if they will win or lose." ”
The Five Dharma Protectors nodded and said, "Okay, I'll bet with you." ”
The old man picked up the teacup with his thumb and index finger again, took a slow sip of tea, then nodded and said, "Then open the cards." ”
The Fifth Dharma Protector looked at the old man and said, "I want you to open first." ”
The old man was stunned for a moment, then looked at the Five Protectors and said, "You want me to open it first, aren't you afraid that I will open the Supreme Treasure?"
The Five Protectors shook their heads and said: "I really can't believe that you will open the Supreme Treasure, believe me, as long as you open the Supreme Treasure, I will twist and leave, but if you don't open it, then you will lose." ”
The old man stared at the five protectors and said, "Yours is a heavenly card?"
The five protectors shook their heads mysteriously according to their cards and said: "You don't have to worry about what my cards are, it depends on what your cards are, let's open." ”
The Fifth Protector looked at the old man with a confident face, in his opinion, he had already won this momentum fight, and this old man had already lost.
However, to his surprise, the old man suddenly opened the card.
Tianpai, second only to the Supreme Treasure.
The Five Dharma Protectors were stunned for a moment, and then he smiled: "Old fellow, your cards are not Supreme Treasures. The old man nodded and said, "Yes, my card is not the Supreme Treasure, and your card is not a heavenly card, you can open the card and take a look." ”
This time it was the turn of the five protectors to be stunned, he looked at the old man in front of him for a long time, and then he rubbed his brows and said, "Tell you, who are you from the Xie family?"
The old man smiled and showed a mouthful of yellow teeth, he looked at the five protectors and said, "Xie Xingchen also has to call me uncle." ”
The Fifth Protector was stunned, he looked at the old man and said, "I didn't expect the Xie family to have someone like you alive." ”
"Okay, I lost. The Five Dharma Protectors spread their hands and said, "I'll leave and leave." After saying that, the five Dharma Protectors stood up and turned to leave, he didn't hesitate at all, and he didn't even make a final effort to open the cards.
After the five protectors left, the old man had not left, he was still sitting there, and it was a long time before he coughed heavily.
The casino owner slowly walked over and refilled him with a cup of tea, then stared at the cards of the Five Protectors and prepared to move.
The old man suddenly said sharply: "Don't move!" The casino owner was taken aback, then lowered his head and stepped aside, the old man personally played all the cards and mixed up, and then looked at the casino owner and said: "Today's matter, you don't want to tell anyone." ”
The casino owner immediately nodded and said, "Yes, yes." ”
The old man sat aside and then sighed and said, "You go, I want to rest here for a while, and the teapot will be left for me." ”
The casino owner did not dare to say much, he put the teapot in the old man's hand and left.
After a while, a person rushed in from outside, this person was Xie Yutian, Xie Yutian came over and stood beside the old man and said, "Uncle." ”
The old man let out a breath, he looked at Xie Yutian and said, "See, sometimes you don't need to use force to solve it, I can just use my mouth alone." ”
Xie Yutian nodded and said with some distress: "Uncle is right. ”
The old man pointed to the seat next to him and said, "Sit down and I'll talk to you." Xie Yutian sat on the side, and the old man said: "You don't have to worry about the affairs of Xingchen for the time being, and we can't take care of the Xie family, so we will withdraw the manpower, and now it is the most fundamental thing to keep the Xie family." ”
Xie Yutian nodded and said, "Yes, uncle." ”
The old man leaned back in his chair and said, "Okay, I'm tired, I can't take care of the affairs of the Xie family, my opponent today is a person like me, otherwise if he makes a move, the old man will be dead." ”
Xie Yutian sat on the side, listening to the old man, just silently.
"Today's people still can't change their previous ideas, they always think that old guys are capable people, which is right, but when a person is old enough to a certain extent, he has become a dead leaf in the wind, and when the wind blows, it will break, and I am also on the verge of breaking. ”
Xie Yutian opened his mouth and said: "Uncle is too worried, you still have a long life in the future." ”
The old man waved his hand again and again and said: "There are not many days left, from today onwards I will be in the Xie family to support the elderly, I hope that the Xie family will no longer need me as a bad old man." ”
Xie Yutian nodded and promised: "Uncle, I don't need you, from today onwards, I will take care of the Xie family in Luoyang, and there will be a thousand rings in the future, and our Xie family will not fall." ”
The old man nodded and said, "I'm relieved, relieved." ”
Xie Yutian stood up and said respectfully, "Uncle, let's go back to Xie's house." The old man stood up tremblingly, and at this moment he no longer had the calmness and atmosphere he had just now.
Xie Yutian carefully helped the old man and then got into the carriage, and after the two of them left, the casino owner came out of it, he looked at everything in the casino, all this seemed to be a dream, he beckoned the guys inside to let them come and clean up.
However, he saw a knife, which had been slashed from the top of his head, and the casino owner fell to the ground.
The casino guy was also doomed, the casino was killed, and then the man set himself on fire and turned away.
The casino is gone, and there are many legends in the market, but no one dares to verify it, because it seems to involve knowing the family, and the people who died in the casino are also warning them about what they can and can't say.
The five protectors left, he kept his promise, and left with the people of the Burning Incense Pavilion, he had already thought of a way out, the Xie family was not easy to deal with, and now that this fork has occurred, the five protectors have one more reason.
At the post station outside Chuzhou City, Chun Qiniang and Yuan Xing'er were waiting for Guanxi Liu in the room here, but they didn't wait for Guanxi Liu to wait for a Li Yuanbao.
