3. When the Tsing Yi guest first entered Jiqing Town, the Mao Mouse made a big fuss on the street that never sleeps
"Young Master Yun, I heard you right, you said that you practiced this kung fu to cheat candy to eat?" Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"In fact, it's not just about sugar, sometimes it's about buns, dried meat and other foods. If I lose and don't admit it, I'll beat those kids and get rid of a street scoundrel. Xu Yun recalled the ridiculous things he did when he was a child, and the corners of his drooping mouth curled slightly.
If it weren't for Mao Mouse hearing this from Xu Yun's mouth with his own ears, he would never have believed that these things would be done by Xu Yun, who is calm and indisputable on weekdays. Xu Yun was quite surprised when he saw the Mao mouse, so he said: "At that time, I was wandering around with my master, and when I was most embarrassed, the two of them only ate half a steamed bun for a whole day. I saw that other children had delicious food in their hands, and I was envious, so I came up with such a way to cheat some food. Suddenly, Xu Yun remembered what his master often complained to his master when he was young: "If you weren't always hungry for Yun'er at that time, Yun'er wouldn't be as tall and not as fat as she is now!"
"Actually, at that time, as long as there was food, Master gave it to me. Xu Yun thought to himself.
Mao Mouse pointed to the green vegetables and tofu on the table with chopsticks and said, "Young Master Yun, why are you only a vegetarian?"
Xu Yun said indifferently: "I used to eat these all the time, and I got used to it." ”
Got used to it? It's getting used to it now.
In fact, Xu Yun also loved to eat meat when he was young, but he often couldn't eat it. Once Xu Yun followed his master Zhang Fangzhou to a friend's house as a guest, and saw a table full of chickens, ducks and fish, which made him very happy. That time he ate a lot, but at night he vomited and diarrhea, and everyone was taking care of him. Xu Yun was very uncomfortable that day, and when he saw the embarrassed look on his master's face, his heart was even more uncomfortable.
Since that day, Xu Yun has secretly sworn that he will never touch any more meat.
This is twenty years, and the oath of that year has long become Xu Yun's habit now.
Full of wine and food, Xu Yun and Mao Mouse continued their journey, and it was smooth to rely on Xu Yun's "silver won by gambling" on the way. On this day, the two of them arrived at Luzhou City, and as soon as they entered the city gate, they heard people talking about the war in Luzhou on the street. It turned out that the Great Song Dynasty and the Khitan Kingdom had successfully negotiated peace and agreed to be brothers, and the Khitan army had all returned to the north and no longer stayed in the Central Plains. However, although the negotiation was successful, the Great Song Dynasty still had to pay some "New Year's coins" to the Khitans every year.
"Thanks to the emperor's presence at the front line this time, it's really fortunate that the Great Song Dynasty has such a Ming Jun!" sighed all the way.
"I heard that someone in the court persuaded the emperor to move the capital to Chengdu, but the emperor hesitated. In the end, it was because Kou Xiangye insisted on asking the emperor to recruit in person, in exchange for the Khitan Fanzi to withdraw from the army!"
"That's thanks to Kou Xiangye, if the Holy Lord really moved the capital to Chengdu, then wouldn't we all become slaves of the Khitan people now?" "Who said it wasn't? Fortunately, God bless the Great Song Dynasty, with Kou Xiangye here, we can continue to live a good life." ”
Xu Yun listened to the conversation of passers-by, and secretly said in his heart: "It turns out that the war has ceased, and the northbound road will be safer." ”
Xu Yun and Mao Mouse saw that it was getting late, so they found an inn to rest in Luzhou City. As soon as he entered the guest room, the Mao Mouse rubbed his hands and smiled and said to Xu Yun: "Young Master Yun, do you know what kind of place this Luzhou is?" Xu Yun said: "I don't know, is there any difference here?" The Mao Mouse pretended to be mysterious: "This is the place where gamblers in the world think about it!" Xu Yun was puzzled: "Why?" The Mao Mouse touched his two beards and said, "Hehe, it seems that Young Master Yun really doesn't know." There is a small town called Jiqing Town to the east of Luzhou City, there is a Jiqing Street in Jiqing Town, and there is a Jiqing Gambling House on Jiqing Street, and this Jiqing Gambling House is known as the first in the world in the gambling house, isn't it the place where gamblers in the world think about it?"
Xu Yun looked at the excited look of the hair mouse and said, "Since you have arrived here, you must have been itching for a long time." The money is placed with you, so go as you wish. The Mao mouse straightened up and shook his hand and said, "I'm not going." Xu Yunqi said: "What's the matter, didn't you say that the Jiqing Gambling House is a place where gamblers in the world think about it? Why don't you, a gambler, want to go?"
The hairy mouse smiled and said, "That...... Young Master Yun, let's be honest, I saw that you were always winning money along the way, and I had already stopped thinking about gambling money. In the past, I always thought that gambling money depended on luck, but now it seems that winning or losing all depends on the level of my own gambling skills. ”
Xu Yun suddenly realized: "So you told me about this, did you want me to gamble? I'm not a gambler, and I'm not interested in that kind of place." Seeing Xu Yun's refusal, the Mao mouse hurriedly said: "Young Master Yun, this opportunity must not be lost, and the time will not come again! Do you think that this auspicious gambling house is known as the first in the world, and there are indispensable high-rollers who spend a lot of money in it, as long as we go in to win him, won't all the entanglements that go back and forth to the Daimyo's Mansion come out? It's better than us always gambling money piecemeal on the road, don't you miss this opportunity!"
Xu Yun pondered for a moment and said: "What you said is not unreasonable, but I still say the same thing, I will accept it when I see it." Mao Zizi said happily: "Then Young Master Yun agreed?" Xu Yun got up and nodded: "Let's go." ”
The hairy mouse rushed out of the inn with a lunge full of joy, and Xu Yun followed closely with a sword. Although the two of them have never been to the Jiqing Gambling House, they didn't walk long to the east after leaving Luzhou City and saw a brightly lit place, and they knew that it must be the Jiqing Gambling House. The Jiqing Gambling House occupies the entire Jiqing Street, and the scale is very huge. Because the Jiqing Gambling House always opens its doors at sunset to set up gambling and closes at sunrise to drive away customers, the Jiqing Street where it is located is called the Nightless Street by the people nearby.
Xu Yun and Mao Mouse saw the word "auspicious" written on a plaque on the gate, and thought that it was the entrance of the gambling house, so they wanted to enter the door. A strong man with a big waist and a round waist outside the door stopped the two of them and said, "Stop, what are you doing?" The Mao mouse rubbed his hands and smiled: "This big brother, we came to this Jiqing Street in the middle of the night, what do you say you can do?" The big man stretched out his hand and said: "You have to pay money for entry, one or two silver per person." Mao Mouse was slightly surprised and said: "Do you still want silver?" The big man said: "Of course, you can't take out this bit of silver, why do you go in to gamble?"
Listening to the shouting and noise in the gambling house, the Mao mouse felt itchy in his heart, and ruthlessly took out two taels of silver from his arms and threw them into the hands of the big man and said, "Oh, here you go!" The big man snorted and smiled, took the money, and got out of the way, and let Xu Yun and the Mao mouse enter the gambling hall hall.
Although this auspicious gambling house occupies the entire auspicious street, walking in the gambling house does not feel very spacious at all, there are crowded people everywhere, and you have to walk sideways. The air was mixed with the smell of sweat on the gambler's body and the smell of the woman's fat powder, which made people want to vomit when they smelled it.
But as soon as the gross mouse stepped into the gambling house, he cried out "ah".
What a world's No. 1 gambling house! Liubo, Wumu, leaf opera, cockfighting, dog fighting, cricket fighting, Jiqing Gambling House has all the gambling methods you thought of and did not expect; from all over the world, from all over the world, from all over the world, with strange costumes, brown hair and white skin, there are all the gambling idiots you have seen and have not seen in Jiqing Casino. The Mao mouse turned his head and looked around, like a countryman entering the city, feeling new everywhere and incredible everywhere.
Xu Yun saw that the hair mouse was already floating in the world, so he grabbed his sleeve and whispered: "I don't know most of the things to play here, let's find a place to play dice, and leave quickly after winning the money." It's a miasma of smoke here, and I don't want to stay here for a long time. ”
The Mao mouse came to his senses after listening to Xu Yun's words, remembered the purpose of this trip, and took Xu Yun to the place where he played the dice cup. As long as the dice are used, Xu Yun can gamble easily, and after only a few games, the gamblers at the same table are scared away, and the newcomers and Xu Yun have not been gambling for long and have left to turn to other tables, making Xu Yun here deserted, not as noisy as other places.
Xu Yun saw that no one came to gamble, so he said to the Mao mouse: "Count how many you won." Mao Mouse immediately responded: "Young Master Yun, I have counted many times, we have won one hundred and twenty-three taels of silver in this moment!" Xu Yun got up and said: "Sure enough, it is the first gambling house in the world, and I can make enough money now, let's go!"
"Wait a minute, you guys are going to leave like this?" Xu Yun and Mao Mouse just wanted to leave, but they heard a slightly old voice behind them. The two looked back, but saw a man standing in the corner. The man was not very tall, he was wearing an iron mask, and he couldn't see his face, but he should have heard the voice of an old man.
Xu Yun bowed to the man in the iron mask and said: "When I first came to drive here, I don't know the rules here, can't the people who win money here leave?" The iron-masked man smiled and said, "If Gongzi Xu wants to leave, I'm afraid that no one here can stop you, but since the old man is responsible for taking care of this gambling house for others, he has to be loyal to his duties." With all due respect, I am afraid that the silver taels won by Xu Gongzi were obtained by fraud, is it a loss of face for the son to do so?"
Xu Yun was quite surprised to see that the man in the iron mask actually recognized him, he thought for a long time but he didn't know which master in the rivers and lakes was used to wearing an iron mask on weekdays, so he saluted again: "Forgive the younger generation for being clumsy, failing to recognize the seniors, and not knowing the names of the seniors?" Xu Yun knew that this person did not want to be named, and he was afraid that there was something unspeakable, so he said: "Since it is inconvenient for the old man to inform the junior, the junior still said goodbye first." ”
When the man in the iron mask saw that Xu Yun and Mao Mouse were leaving, he suddenly flashed in front of the two of them and stopped the way and said, "Wait a minute, why is Xu Gongzi so anxious?
When the hairy mouse heard this, he said angrily: "******, deceit, deceit, which eye of yours saw that we deceit?" The man in the iron mask pointed his finger and said, "I have seen both eyes." It was a supreme honor for Xu Yun and Xu Gongzi, who were famous in the rivers and lakes back then, to be able to come to us, so since Xu Gongzi stepped into this auspicious gambling house, the old man's eyes have never left Xu Gongzi. And Xu Gongzi's above multiplying internal strength to urge the dice to rotate, the old decay also saw it. ”
Seeing Xu Yun's face full of doubts, Mao Mouse smiled and said: "Tut-tut, this gambling money is originally based on their own ability, what is the reason for fraud and not for fraud?" Young Master Yun, let's go back, don't listen to his nonsense." After saying that, he pulled Xu Yun and wanted to leave the man in the iron mask, but he didn't want the two of them to be surrounded by several big men.
Seeing that there was no way out, the Mao mouse shouted, "What's the matter, do you want to fight?" When several big men saw that Mao Mouse had moved, they all rushed up to catch him. But the hairy mouse was already thin and small, and he was also agile, and several big men couldn't catch him, but let him escape with a dodge.
Mao Mouse turned around and shouted: "Run, Young Master Yun! It's too chaotic here, let's take care of each other first, and we'll see you at the inn later!" After that, he ran around in the gambling house, turning over the table and throwing chairs and smashing them happily, making the already crowded Jiqing gambling house scolding, chickens and dogs jumping everywhere, and it became a pot of porridge. There are even some gamblers who have lost red-eyed, taking advantage of the chaos to brazenly grab the silver and scuffle with others.
Xu Yun saw that the Mao mouse slipped away very fast, and a few big men couldn't hold him at all, so he thought he should be fine, so he wanted to take advantage of the chaos to leave. The man in the iron mask saw through Xu Yun's thoughts, and reached out and firmly grabbed Xu Yun's left arm. Xu Yun looked at the iron-masked man and said, "Senior, today's matter, offended!" Xu Yun didn't know the details of the iron-masked man, so he used all his strength as soon as he made a move. The man in the iron mask felt a wave of heat rushing towards his face through the mask, and knew that this grasp was extremely powerful, so he hurriedly let go of the hand that was holding Xu Yun and retreated sharply. Xu Yun saw that the man in the iron mask avoided it, so he jumped into the air and ran out of the gambling house by stepping on everyone's shoulders.
The person guarding the door of the gambling house saw Xu Yun suddenly jump out, although he didn't know why it was a mess inside, but he also knew that he couldn't let anyone out of the gambling house at this time, so he wanted to step forward to stop Xu Yun. Xu Yun didn't wait for the big man to speak, and when he saw him stepping forward to block the road, he pushed the big man's forehead, and directly knocked the big man unconscious.
Xu Yun stood on Jiqing Street, took a few breaths, swept away the annoyance in his chest, and suddenly felt refreshed and very comfortable in his body: "I don't want to come to this place for a second time, it's too noisy and noisy!" He stood on Jiqing Street and looked at the night sky for a while, pondering the way the iron-masked man blocked the road and the hand when he grabbed people, and felt that he seemed to have seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
"In addition to the people in Yunzhuang, most of the people who can recognize me at a glance now are some old-timers in the rivers and lakes. The owner of this gambling house can invite martial arts seniors to show him the field, and it seems that he is also a powerful figure in the rivers and lakes. Xu Yun secretly guessed in his heart who the owner of the Jiqing Gambling House was, and suddenly remembered that the Mao mouse told him about meeting at the inn. But this gambling house seemed to have only one exit, and Xu Yun felt that there was nothing wrong with waiting outside this door, so he stood at the door for a while.
I only heard the noisy voices in the gambling house, and after waiting for a long time, I didn't see half a person come out, Xu Yun became anxious in his heart, for fear that the Mao mouse would be caught by accident, but as soon as he remembered the chaos in the gambling house, he didn't want to step into the gambling house again.
Xu Yun recalled that when he jumped out of the gambling house with everyone on his feet, he deliberately observed the situation in the gambling house, and didn't seem to see the figure of the mouse: "He should have escaped from the gambling house before me, I think I'd better go back to the inn first." Thinking like this, he quickly walked away from the Jiqing Gambling House, which was still fighting.
But back in the inn room, Xu Yun still didn't see the mouse. He saw a letter on the table, and the envelope read: "Xu Yun personally opened", and his heart was not good, so he hurriedly pulled out the letter.
I saw that the letter read: "The owner of Jiqingfang sincerely invites Xu Yun and Xu Gongzi to come to our workshop at noon tomorrow to talk about it, and also invite Gongzi to appreciate the light." Your friend Mao has been a distinguished guest on the throne of our house, don't read it. Regret. ”
