Chapter 30 (17)
Shangguan Yaohua said coldly: "Even if this king dies, he will pull a cushion first." Do you think you, a pariah, can hurt me at will?" he said, pulling the sword out of his palm with a "swish", dragging out a long and deep blood streak, almost cutting half of his palm in half.
The more painful Lu Qian's hand became, the deeper the hatred in his heart, and he was about to finish him off directly, but Xuan Shuang happened to move back step by step. I didn't dare to make a mistake in front of him, so I had to endure the anger for the time being.
Xuan Shuang said: "Master Li, the apprentice is very tired today, can the martial arts practice end here?" Li Yijie was also very good at speaking this time, and immediately agreed, saying: "Master has long said that practicing day and night like you will not be able to withstand even those who are beaten with iron. If you want to become a master, you can't just fight for your life to get your wish. Okay, you go back to rest first, and then practice when Ming'er is full of energy. ”
Xuan Shuang hummed lightly, and did not ask to retreat, and directly pulled Shangguan Yaohua away. Lu Qian saw that he couldn't retaliate with a tooth for a tooth, so he could only be majestic, poked out his halberd fingers, and shouted: "Shangguan Yaohua, remember the ...... you still owe me" Li Yijie grabbed him behind him and persuaded: "Young people are not sensible, Brother Lu Xian, don't worry too much." Let's bandage this wound first. ”
Lu Qian scolded all the way, thinking that Xuanshuang was with Shangguan Yaohua, this kid was even more scheming, even if he caught up, he couldn't get a bargain. The thought of it makes me angrier. While walking down Li Yijie's steps, he muttered at the same time, "I want my King Lu I to be famous, and I actually gave you this little brute ......" Yunyun.
Xuanshuang kicked the ground hard, splashing dust, and the broken pebbles rolled away. At the same time, he wrenched the bone joints of his hands, clicking, and gasping for breath. It sounded mixed with a few hummings, as if there was more anger than fatigue. Shangguan Yaohua couldn't help but ask, "Xuanshuang, what is this doing, why is there such a big anger?"
Xuan Shuang was angry and said: "I have been studying with Li Yijie for more than a month, back and forth, always a little thing, not growing at all! Maybe you can follow what he said, and if you have a solid foundation in your basic skills, you will be able to practice complex exercises with ease. Ten years of sharpening a sword, then the edge will be prosperous. ”
Xuan Shuang snorted lightly: "You are not sincere! Didn't you listen to what that Li Yijie said just now? Do you want me to take another year and a half of horse steps before you are willing to teach me the second form of Huashan Changquan? But you only have to punch one? Do you think you can kill the Seven Demon Heads with just one punch?"
Shangguan Yaohua replied honestly: "I don't think so." Xuan Shuang said: "Isn't that it? Hey, how can I not be discouraged? Looking at the entire court, there is one person who can beat him? Not to mention, even the one who is on par with him cannot be found." Is our strength so vulnerable? Speaking of which, I have a solution, but ...... It's dangerous, and it's only a matter of moments. Leaning close to his ear, he whispered the idea again, and added: "I understand that this is a way that has no choice, and if it doesn't work, it will be benevolent." ”
Shangguan Yaohua was shocked when he heard this, and blurted out: "No! That's a plot with a tiger? Although the Seven Demon Devils are a madman, he is not stupid, on the contrary, he is also very smart, do you think that he will give you a few words to provoke, and then his mind is dizzy, and he is willing to be at your mercy? ”
Xuan Shuang said: "Yes, of course he is a smart person. So I'm not going to go this way until I have to. Shangguan Yaohua said: "Even if it is a last resort, it will not be possible." Xuanshuang smiled bitterly and said, "It's really the last moment, do you think we still have room to choose?" Shangguan Yaohua was dumbfounded, not knowing what to say.
Since he became disheartened after fighting Xuanshuang, his enthusiasm for martial arts has plummeted, and Li Yijie has been left out in the cold, and Cheng Jiaxuan and others have persuaded him several times, but he is not moved.
On this day, I finally raised some interest, and planned to find out Prince Qingfu's conspiracy in one fell swoop, so as to give Shangguan Yaohua an explanation. This is to let him know that he is very trustworthy, and secondly, to prove his ability to deal with things. The plan had been tumbling in my head several times, and I had calculated it so well that it could finally be put into action.
Taking advantage of Shen Shiyun's visit, he dismissed the maids and eunuchs of Yinxue Palace early in the morning, put a few large jars of good aged wine on the table, put a few dice, and then buckle a nondescript wine cup, and then invited the dead soldiers to come to the meeting.
Several of them were still dressed in guard attire. However, Shangguan Yaohua has been living in the palace recently, and there is no need to keep an eye on the palace, and a few people are happy to be idle, as for the safety of Xuanshuang, they don't care about it, they are naturally happy to eat and play, and they are all happy immediately.
Xuan Shuang had already arranged the long table and chairs neatly, sat on the main seat first, and when the guests arrived, he got up and stood up, hugged his fists in the etiquette of the rivers and lakes, and said: "Everyone, I have thought carefully about it in the past few months, and the words of the eldest brother of the guard are not unreasonable. And you can't be greedy for your own happiness, and everyone will not be able to make a difference. To be a human being, you should be considerate of others and not be selfish. So I decided to take the advice...... However, every day I was bored and panicked, so I had to play in the Yinxue Palace, so I bothered you to accompany you, and if there was an assassin, you could also protect it nearby, wouldn't I? ”
One of the dead men frowned and said, "I don't know what Ling Beile is...... How can you look down on the lowly people? Why don't you go to the little prince?" Xuan Shuang said: "The little prince is busy! he is so busy that he has to lift his feet, as a brother, I should be empathetic, and I can't embarrass him at this time." I think that being a guard in the palace must be boring. Wouldn't it be nice for us to be able to connect with some emotions and have fun at the same time?"
The dead were innocent as children, as long as they played, other things could be thrown out of the clouds, and they didn't suspect it, they nodded together with a smile, and said: "Lord Belle is considerate of his subordinates, wise and benevolent. ”
Xuan Shuang smiled: "Don't put a high hat on me, in fact, I'm just a little kid who doesn't know anything, thanks to your promotion, please take care of me in the future." All the dead men dealt with it casually, and they all said, "That's certain, definite." ”
In order to shorten the distance with everyone, Xuan Shuang raised one leg high, stepped on the chair next to him, pretended to be rough, and while talking, he kept slapping on the table, and said: "When it comes to games between men, it is nothing more than drinking, gambling, and women." This woman, the palace must not move. We can't afford to move those who have an identity, and those who don't have an identity, like those palace maids, grandmothers, and fire girls, are either extremely ugly, or cowardly, and they are not interesting to play. Besides, these faces look at them every day, and they are tired of looking at them, and if you want to play, you can play with a woman you have never seen before. Isn't it said that concubines are better than stealing? This process of 'stealing', whether you can get it or not, is a kind of enjoyment in itself! If you are a guard, this will not work, and that will not be possible, and there will be a lot of chaotic constraints! When I become emperor, the first major thing after I ascend the throne is to abolish these unequal rules! Eunuchs, don't purify themselves, why can there be 3,000 beauties when they become emperors, and they can't even get a wife, let alone inherit the lineage? Finally, the mother-in-law of the family fell into the seed, and she still put a green hat on him. Having said a lot, in a word: I think everyone has been coveting it for a long time, right? Unfortunately, for your sake, I can't just leave the palace. In this way, when the Seven Demons are cleaned up, I will take you to the largest green building in the city, and everyone will go and hug the most beautiful girl, spend money like flowing water, and be very happy!
Xuan Shuang said again: "Women aside, let's just play the first two, and we can have fun." But I said in advance that everyone was just gambling and drinking, and didn't talk about business. I don't like to hear anyone who has business to talk about!" The dead men laughed and said, "Yes, when you are having fun, it doesn't hurt the atmosphere to talk about business again?"
Xuan Shuang said: "Very good! First of all, I would like to say sorry to everyone, I Yin Xue Palace is not a professional gambling house, and for a while, I can't find the best gambling equipment, so I have to play the simplest gambling size." But I'm a dealer, and I'm always following the old routine, so how boring is it? Why don't I come up with a new way to play? One point for winning or losing, the winner drinks a drink, and the loser has three options, the first is to punish three drinks, and the second is according to the old method: lose money. The third is that others can tell him to do one thing, such as asking him to sing a little song and dance a dance, and the movements should learn a woman's tone and be charming enough. For example, if you ask him a word, no matter how private matters are involved, you must answer them correctly. It is up to the winner to choose which thing to do for the loser. Of course, I am willing to gamble and lose, and if I lose, I will strictly follow the rules. Plus, it's a cursed game, and whoever fouls the game will have their soul eaten by the devil. ”
The last sentence was originally a pediatric, but the dead people believed it and didn't dare to make a mistake. One of them asked, "Lord Belle, how many of us are you picking alone?"
Xuan Shuang said: "You can think of it! Finally, you still have a little conscience! Come on, you can also come over, and the number of people on both sides is equal, so it is fair." ”
The dead thought that Xuanshuang had a noble status, and standing on his side, he could always have more face. Immediately, a few people rushed over, until Xuanshuang smiled and said that it was enough, and he didn't grab it, and then he stood on the opposite side sullenly. Later, a short man was promoted, saying that he was "the most honest one, and he would never cheat".
Xuanshuang secretly sneered, and said in his heart: "You dead soldiers, which one is not honest? But which one is not slippery?" When the man opened the wine cup, he showed everyone three dice, weighed too much, and confirmed that it was not filled with lead, and then he covered the wine cup again, and shook it again and again with one hand. Outside, you can hear the crisp sound of dice crashing against the walls of the cup.
A dead soldier asked, "Lord Belle, which side shall we bet on?" Xuan Shuang said, "I am young, but I am still better than you." This is called four or two thousand pounds, and the color head is very good. Well, just bet on the small one. As he spoke, he imitated the appearance of a gambler, and slapped the table and shouted, "Small, small, small!" He always spoke slowly and logically, shouting so loudly like a rough man in the market, that after a while, his throat became dry.
On the other side, the dead man shouted, "Big, big, big!" and then the dead man let go of his hand, lifted the cup straight up and down, and the three dice on the table spun drippingly. Xuan Shuang clapped his hands and praised: "Okay! Good technology! At first glance, he is used to gathering people to gamble, hahaha!" Seeing the dead man's embarrassed expression, he laughed and said, "Don't be nervous, the casino is not expensive, they are all their own brothers!"
At this point, the dice have stopped two, and the upward side is a three. The last one was even more important, Xuanshuang simply used his feet, slapped the table and stomped his feet, shouting: "Small, small, small! one! Give me a 'one'!" The other table of dead men gambled, raised their voices, and shouted: "Big! big! six!"
The dice spun for a while, and finally stopped, and it was really a "six" point on the face, and suddenly there was a thunderous cry of joy in front of the table, and a sigh at the same time.
Xuan Shuang said generously: "I lost, what do you want me to do?" Seeing that everyone on the other side was staring at the thick stack of silver tickets in front of them, a green light seemed to appear in their eyes. smiled and said, "I know, you won't give up until you win me a lot." The brothers don't have a lot of money a month, it's not difficult for everyone, since with my betting, I won a tie, and the loss is counted on my head. Here, take it!" he said, pulling out a few bundles from the mountain of silver tickets and pushing them over.
