Chapter 41: The Gambling King Takes Disciples
As everyone went up to the third floor, after many more twists and turns, everyone finally stopped in front of the door of a room. Jiang Xiaofan couldn't help but complain, it's just a building, can it be used to build a maze!
As the door opened, everyone entered. Jiang Xiaofan looked around, and didn't find anything special, just an ordinary room, different from ordinary rooms, the statue of Guan Erye was enshrined in the center of the room.
"Sit!" He Hongshen said politely.
Jiang Xiaofan was also not polite, and sat down directly. The rest of the crowd sat down in the guest of honor.
He Hongshen asked someone to serve fragrant tea, and then asked: "Little Brother Jiang has such strength at a young age, and the old man is very curious about where Little Brother Jiang came from. ”
Jiang Xiaofan was unceremonious, didn't say anything, just picked up the teacup in front of him and drank it, not caring at all whether the tea was poisonous or not.
He Hong is old and shrewd, and he knew the reason when he saw this, so he smiled: "It's the old man who is abrupt! However, isn't Jiang Xiaoyou worried that I will let people poison the tea? After all, you now have a huge amount of 100 million yuan." ”
"With He Lao's strength and status, I'm afraid he disdains to use such indiscriminate means. Jiang Xiaofan treated it indifferently and slowly tasted the tea.
"Little Brother Jiang trusts the old man so much, and the old man is a little easier to talk to. He Hongshen smiled slightly, and then changed the topic: "The old man sees that the little brother's gambling skills are inferior, so he should not have been taught by a master, right?"
“...... Indeed no, today is my first time gambling at the casino. Jiang Xiaofan couldn't guess He Hongshen's intentions, but he also told the truth, after all, his gambling methods were not worth mentioning in front of the experienced gambling king, and it was nothing to be seen.
"So very good, so very good!" He Hong breathed a sigh of relief and said twice in succession, "So very good."
"Huh?" Jiang Xiaofan looked at He Hongshen coldly, he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in his gourd, and the spiritual power in his hand was secretly working, in case the other party suddenly made trouble.
"Hehe, little brother don't panic, the old man has no malice. Seeing Jiang Xiaofan as guarded as if facing a great enemy, He Hongshen smiled slightly, "The old man has a reluctant request, I wonder if the little brother can agree?"
What kind of medicine is this old guy selling in his gourd? Do you want me to help him do things? Or do you want me to join them? Jiang Xiaofan secretly speculated, his face was silent, the clouds were light and the wind was light, and he was not alarmed. Jiang Xiaofan said indifferently: "I didn't say what the request was, how dare I agree casually!"
"Hehe, it's easy to say! The old man Guan Xiao Brother is a dragon and phoenix among people, and his aura is extraordinary, so he must have been guided by a famous teacher. It's just that the little brother's gambling skills are still shallow, and he has not yet reached the door, and the old man has the courage to accept the little brother as an apprentice, so that the old man's stunt will not be lost. What do you think, little brother?"
As soon as these words came out, the four of them were shocked!"Master, this ......" "Dad, what do you mean by this?" "Grandpa, why did you suddenly ......" The three of them wanted to speak and stopped, and they all felt puzzled in their hearts.
"......" This old fox has shown its tail, just because he wants me to join you, what is it to go around and around. Although Jiang Xiaofan was shocked, he had thought of this possibility before, and he was not shocked. "No, I'm not interested in gambling, and there's no reason to be under other people's doors!"
"I know it's disrespectful to my little brother. The old man's acceptance of you as an apprentice is only in name, after all, the old man's gambling skills are only passed on to disciples and not to outsiders. The little brother can be said to be a nominal disciple, and it does not affect the little brother's master, the little brother can leave at any time, and the old man will never stop him!"
"Hehe, why don't you think about it! I won't worship anyone as a teacher!" Just kidding, the dignified Immortal Monarch actually wants to worship a mortal as a teacher, and if he says it, he will be laughed at by others! Jiang Xiaofan directly refused, and there was no room to stay.
"Little brother, don't you think about it? He Hongshen saw Jiang Xiaofan's resoluteness, smiled bitterly, and made a final attempt.
"No need! If there is nothing else to do, just leave!" Jiang Xiaofan didn't want to talk more, so he got up and was about to leave.
"Little brother, wait!" He Hongshen hurriedly retained, his voice urgent.
"What's the matter, say it quickly!" Jiang Xiaofan was annoyed, and his tone was not so friendly.
"Little brother, stop being angry!" He Hong smiled bitterly. "The old man has selfish intentions in accepting you as an apprentice, and he wants the little brother to attend the gambling king competition as a gambling king. Since the little brother refuses to apprentice, I implore the little brother to represent Huaxia to participate in the gambling king competition!"
"Is that it!, don't go!" Jiang Xiaofan raised his eyebrows. You want to use me as a gunman?
"Little brother, please be sure to participate!" Seeing Jiang Xiaofan's categorical refusal, He Hongshen couldn't help but panic, and his tone became hurried. "This gambling king tournament is a grand event for the world's well-known gambling masters. At that time, gambling masters from all over the world will gather together to determine the real nominal gambling king. I am a big country in China, and no one has been able to enter the top eight in the past few sessions! It is really a shame for my country! I implore the little brother to represent Huaxia to attend this gambling king competition!" While saying this, He Hongshen sat in a wheelchair and bowed deeply, his expression solemn and sincere.
"He Lao's disciples, there must be many famous disciples, pull out any one, they are much more powerful than me, why do you need to find me, a wild boy who appeared halfway!"
"It's a shame to say that all the disciples of the old man have lost in the top eight of the previous years, which is really humiliating to the family and the country!
"He Lao is so sure that I can get good results? You must know that I have only only come into contact with gambling for the first time, and I am afraid that I am not even qualified to participate in the competition, so how can I represent the country?"
"According to the old man's intuition!"
"Hehe! This is not a movie! Why do you think that you can easily win the championship by finding a random protagonist? The reality is not so simple!"
"The old man believes that as long as the little brother participates, he will definitely be able to win the championship!" He Hongshen was full of confidence, swearing to pat his chest and promise.
"I don't know where He Lao's confidence comes from. But I'm sorry to tell you, I'm not interested in participating in this gambling king tournament!"
"If I say that I am solely responsible for the qualification to participate in the competition, the little brother only needs to represent the country, and the gambling funds to win the gambling king tournament are all collected by the little brother, I wonder if the little brother is interested in participating?" He Hongshen gritted his teeth, and finally said his final bottom line.
The audience gasped. He Runzhi hurriedly persuaded: "Father, this is not good! The funds for the competition alone are as high as 500 million US dollars, which is ......."
He Hongshen waved his hand and stopped He Runzhi. He Runzhi looked at He Hongshen's resolute expression, sighed bitterly, and stood respectfully behind him, without saying a word.
Jiang Xiaofan looked at He Hongshen, his expression was still light, and his heart was turbulent. I was not only surprised by He Hongshen's generosity, but also admired his broad-mindedness. Making such a huge sacrifice in the hope that he can win honor on behalf of his country, this pride alone is worthy of respect. Actually, to be honest, when Jiang Xiaofan heard about the gambling king competition, he was already thinking about participating in it himself. After all, in a global gambling event, the reward for the champion should be very considerable, even if it is not for fame but for money, you have to find a way to participate. Jiang Xiaofan didn't agree to He Hongshen's request, just because he didn't want to be controlled by others anymore, and at the same time, he personally asked himself, wouldn't it seem that he was too worthless if he didn't take some benefits? Now hearing such tempting conditions, Jiang Xiaofan was a little moved.
"Oh, how do you say that?" Jiang Xiaofan suppressed the turmoil in his heart, and said calmly.
"As we all know, if you don't have more than $500 million, you are not eligible to participate in the gambling king competition. Even if you go to the scene, you are only participating in some small gambling games on the periphery. The old man can prepare funds for the little brother, and the little brother only needs to participate in the name of Huaxia at that time. If you win the first place, you will not only win the reputation of the country, but also get a reward of $1 billion! All these will belong to the little brother, provided that the little brother must take the lead!"
"Oh? In this way, why is he fighting for the country and throwing himself into it?"
"I am a big country in China, and no one has won the first place since the old man, which has been ridiculed by the International Gambling Association for many years. If you don't win the championship again, when the old man goes west, my country's gambling world will be in a slump. When He Hongshen said this, he couldn't help but sigh and look sad. Everyone behind him was ashamed, and they all lowered their heads, their faces flushed.
Therefore, the old man swore that in this gambling king competition, he will find a talented person to teach him gambling skills, so that he can show his style in the gambling king competition and win glory for the country!"
"So, the person He Lao is looking for is me?"
"Yes!" He Hongshen replied cleanly, looking at Jiang Xiaofan with a pair of bright eyes.
The corners of Jiang Xiaofan's mouth raised slightly, noncommittal: "In this case, I'll think about it!"
"Little brother, this ......" He Hongshen was stunned, he didn't expect that he had said so many big truths, but in exchange for a sentence of "think about it".
"If you have nothing else to do, just leave!Oh, by the way, how can I contact you?" Jiang Xiaofan retreated in time and said goodbye.
"This is the old man's business card!" He Hongshen smiled bitterly and handed over his business card with both hands. "I hope the little brother will reply as soon as possible, after all, the gambling king tournament will start in more than a month. ”
Jiang Xiaofan took the business card and grinned: "Don't worry about it, I have my own measure!
In the room, everyone looked at each other. He Runzhi cautiously asked, "Dad, why do you believe so much that this young man can win the Gambling King Championship?"
"This young man is not simple!" He Hong sighed deeply, "I can't keep calm in front of him. ”
"Dad, he just happens to have some strength, arrogant and domineering, do you think too highly of him?" He Runzhi said dissatisfiedly, faintly annoyed in his heart.
"You know what! This young man is very scheming. obviously cared about this gambling king competition, but he didn't care about it, and forced the old man to tell his bottom line step by step. With this scheming, you still have a long way to go!" He Hongshen shook his head, a little worried about his children and grandchildren.
“...... Dad, are you sure he will come to participate?" He Runzhi didn't care, thinking that He Hongshen looked too highly at Jiang Xiaofan.
"He will!, but we can't put all our hopes on him, we still have to make preparations!" He Hongshen looked at He Runzhi, and could only shake his head helplessly.
"Pass it on, when that young man exchanges chips, don't stop it, and the handling fee is waived! Remember, you can only make friends, not evil!" He Hong sighed deeply, as if he had aged a few years, and sat silently with a stunned expression.
