The rest of the people nodded one after another, thinking that this person's card skills were rotten and smelly, so they increased the composition of the water, but they didn't know that in the next three games, Lu Xiaoyuan lost in a row. He shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said, "My gambling luck is very bad, and it seems that I am not suitable for gambling money." ”

Just as he was about to take out the silver, the man said: "Don't need it first, the young man is not familiar with it yet, and these three games are not counted." ”

Lu Xiaoyuan glared and said, "If you lose, you lose, do you treat me as a scoundrel?" He divided the money among the four and said, "Take it all." ”

The four had no choice but to take the money. In the next few games, sometimes he clearly saw through the "spy", but still pretended not to know, and fought indiscriminately, sometimes the "emperor" deliberately hit the "spy", Lu Xiaoyuan was not a fool, and gradually saw the clues, threw the cards, and shouted: "Bastard! You dare to tease the master?"

The four of them hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare, how can we have that guts? ”

Lu Xiaoyuan said angrily: "Nonsense, how can you grow to such a high level in a few rounds?" rolled his eyes and said: "In this way, if you win, I will take the money, if you lose, one of you will be slapped by me." ”

The four of them looked at each other and said, "Young man, we both serve the empire, how can we kill each other? "He is favored by Wei Wensheng as a martial artist, and his strength is of course superb, if he is slapped by him, he is afraid that he will be seriously injured if he does not die.

Lu Xiaoyuan waved his palm, knocked down a big stone from the rockery, and said: "I can do whatever I say, who wants to say more, don't blame me for being ruthless." ”

The four of them had no choice but to play cards. They all knew that their heads were not as strong as the rockery, so they didn't dare to release water anymore, so they tried their best, and soon Lu Xiaoyuan lost more than forty taels.

Lu Xiaoyuan was not angry, but patted them on the shoulder and praised them, they realized that Lu Xiaoyuan's temper was very different from the famous warriors they usually saw, so they were no longer restrained, everyone was noisy and shouting, Haikan chatted, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

When he arrived at Tianmuling, only thirty taels of the three hundred taels of silver on Lu Xiaoyuan's body remained, and the rest were lost to the soldiers by playing cards.

The Flying Tigers brought more than 100 blood demon wolves and hunting king falcons on this trip, and went to Tianmu Ridge.

At noon on this day, everyone was resting in the valley, Lu Xiaoyuan and a few others took a walk at will, walked not far away, and saw a pavilion. The eaves of the pavilion fly up, like a bird's wings, each pavilion pillar has the thickness of the hug, and a plaque under the eaves reads "Hanran Pavilion".

Several people sat down, and Lu Xiaoyuan said strangely: "Tao Ran, it means cheerful and happy, what does this mean by Han Ran?"

A general is in his fifties, and he knows a lot about the history of Jinzhou, and said: "Yuan Shaoxia doesn't know, more than 20 years ago, the imperial big Sikong Hanzi came to Jinzhou to inspect, and the Marquis Chen at that time was busy with government affairs and didn't do much to accompany him. ”

Now the pavilion is a little dilapidated, but at that time it was splendid, comfortable and pleasant, after the rest of the Han Sikong, said: into the pavilion Taoran. Hou Ye asked Han Sikong inscription, the word "梼" contains a pun, both "Tao Ran" meaning, but also refers to the visit of Han Sikong, which is to add luster to the pavilion. ”

Lu Xiaoyuan looked around, and saw a small stream not far away, the stream was dingdong, but it was not clear, but it was colorful, and he felt strange, and said: "That stream is interesting, I haven't seen a colored stream yet." ”

The general said: "This stream is called the Washing Spring, and there are also allusions. ”

Lu Xiaoyuan said: "I want to hear it in detail." ”

The general said: "Hou Ye has already invited the eighteen most famous song and dance troupes in Jinju, and set up a stage in the mountains, and performed while Han Sikong was resting in the pavilion. ”

Lu Xiaoyuan looked around, the terrain was uneven, the mountains and rocks were steep, and he didn't know how much manpower and material resources would be spent to set up a stage for hundreds of people to perform here.

The general stood up, looked at the gorgeous stream, and said: "Hanran Pavilion, Make-up Spring, and Bird Forest, these three scenic spots are the symbols of Hou Ye's development, and many literati and writers have written poems for them, which can also be used as a good story of Hou Ye. ”

Although Lu Xiaoyuan didn't know the allusion to the frightened bird forest, it was expected that it was also one of the means for Shan Rixi to curry favor with Han Ziyao. Those literati clinged to the powerful, and the general in front of him was not ashamed of Shan Rixi's approach, but was proud, which made Lu Xiaoyuan very despised.

He smiled and said: "Marquis Shan is so good at serving people, and he is very considerate to Hanzi, and when that Marquis Chen retires, of course the position of Marquis of Jinzhou will not be able to escape from his palm." ”

The general heard his ridicule, his face was a little embarrassed, and said: "Hou Ye Chen is not retired, there was a year when the plague was prevalent in Jinzhou, Hou Ye spent a lot of effort to eradicate the plague, and he became the last person to die of the plague in Jinzhou. ”

Lu Xiaoyuan couldn't help but admire that Marquis Chen, and said with a smile: "No matter what the outcome of Marquis Chen, it is the current Marquis of the Mountain who is outstanding and resourceful, and he was promoted by Han Sikong to become the successor Marquis of Jinzhou." ”

"Outstanding talent and resourcefulness" is how to listen to how unpleasant, the general was a little unhappy, and said: "So to speak." ”

The breeze passed through the pavilion, it was really cool and comfortable, and the fatigue of half a day seemed to be swept away at this moment. After sufficient rest, several people returned to the main army and continued to march towards the Sand Flow Demon Domain.

Walking along the forest road, suddenly several soldiers shouted, "Look!

Lu Xiaoyuan turned his head to look, and saw a small yellow monkey squatting on the branch not far away, with a blue star on its forehead, and its two eyes were spinning, looking clever and cute, and it quickly ate the big peach in its hand, and the juice was dripping.

The big peach was quickly eaten, and the Blue Star Monkey saw everyone, jumped to the front in three or two, and threw the peach pit at Lu Xiaoyuan, who was in the lead, Lu Xiaoyuan turned his head sideways, and scolded with a smile: "Dead monkey, aren't you afraid that the master will dismantle you into eight pieces?"

The Blue Star Monkey seemed to understand his words, but he was not afraid, but took out something between his legs and peed on Lu Xiaoyuan.

As soon as Lu Xiaoyuan pulled the reins of the Demon Tiger, the Demon Tiger took a few steps back, and the urine droplets couldn't splash him. He was not angry, but felt warm, because he remembered the crane and the spirit ape on Tianzhu Peak, and after he left the mountain, he didn't know if those two old guys were bored.

Feng Mu said: "Lu Shaoxia, let's see who subdues this monkey first?"
