Xie Feng said, "Are the horse thieves so rampant, but a few days ago, I heard that the welcoming team led by King Wu broke the Turkic wolf army outside the Saiwai, and even disintegrated the grassland alliance and greatly promoted the prestige of our country, I don't know if there is such a thing." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

As soon as these words came out, Sima Jinyu immediately showed displeasure.

Xie Tong said knowingly, "It's all just a rumor, the Turkic wolf army is an invincible existence in the grassland, how can it be easily cleaned up by King Wu, and the people of Mobei are fierce, and my Tang army can't easily get cheap."

Xie Tong's answer obviously made Sima Jinyu very happy, he hurriedly changed the topic, and said with a smile: "I don't know what Mr. Zhao is doing when he comes to Luoyang this time?

Xie Tongxin came, and Sima Jinyu began to touch his bottom. He smiled and said, "I have been in Mobei for a long time, and I miss the customs of the Central Plains very much, so I plan to walk around the Central Plains to soothe the injured soul." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed and laughed, and Xie Tong's answer was too humorous.

At this time, the wine and food are served.

Sima Jinyu raised his glass and said, "In order to welcome the gambling lord to Luoyang, let's have a toast!"

With that, he took the lead in drinking it all.

And they followed his example, and did it.

Sima Jinyu said, "The contemptible person has a reluctant request, I hope Mr. can help a little." ”

Xie Tong smiled and said, "Childe, but it's okay to say."

Sima Jinyu said, "Jinyu is in Luoyang to get this gambling house, it seems that it is a day to make money, but in fact, it is not, because it touches the interests of the original local gambling house, these people have sent masters to Jinyu's gambling house to make a profit, and they have to lose a thousand taels of silver every day, but they make a lot of money."

Xie Tong's mind welled up with that stubborn young man, there was no doubt that this person was a real gambling master.

Xie An said, "With the son's family background and ability, it's not enough to clean them up!"

Nightingale interjected, "No, casinos also have casino rules, and if Childe does this, isn't it breaking the rules, but the gains outweigh the losses." ”

Xie Tong smiled and said, "What does Childe mean is to let Ben go around with them and watch the scene for Childe?"

Sima Jinyu said, "How dare Jinyu let the gambler watch the game, I just hope to come to a simple order and make an appointment to have a decisive battle with them at the gambling table."

Xie Tong said, "This is okay, but I am not a hundred battles, gambling also needs a good day and auspicious day, I can make a lot of money today, it is completely good luck today, before on the street, there is a fortune teller for me to take a hexagram, saying that I am prosperous, only afterwards to know that the son is in the gambling house here, it is indeed magical!" He directly attributed the credit to Shi Jingjiao, hoping to attract everyone's attention.

Xie Feng said, "Sir, do you believe this?"

Xie Tong retorted, "Metaphysics is a theory, it is not a fictitious thing, the contemptible people used to not believe in metaphysics, and they were almost killed outside the Saiwai, and now when they return to the Central Plains, they know that metaphysics is very wonderful! ”

Sima Jinyu became interested, and said, "It's so powerful! Jinyu will definitely meet this fortune teller, come on, bring that fortune teller to me."

Xie Tong showed a displeased look, and said, "Childe's words are wrong, this person is not a charlatan, but a master outside the world, but you can't ask for it, if you go like this, you will definitely not be invited, you have to have a sincere heart to see if you can impress the master." This kind of master will show you a clear path and should be used for a lifetime. ”

Sima Jinyu smiled awkwardly, "What Mr. said is reasonable, we are here to have a drink." ”

Full of wine and food, several people chatted very happily.

When he was about to go downstairs, Sima Jinyu asked, "I don't know where Mr. lives now!"

Xie Tong said, "My family and I have just arrived in Luoyang, and we haven't settled for the time being, so let's find a good inn in the next few days!

Sima Jinyu saw that the other party had no place to live, and was overjoyed, and said, "If Mr. is not disgusted, he can temporarily live in Jinyu's house, although the humble house is not luxurious enough, but the room is more than enough, and it is not a problem for a few people to live in." ”

Xie Tong's face was embarrassed, and he said, "I'm afraid this will bother me a lot!" I heard that Brother Ling is the general of Luoyang City, and I am a gambler, I am afraid that the general will not like it when he sees it. ”

Sima Jinyu smiled and said, "Mr. is too worried, although my brother is a general, but he is also a person who loves gambling, I will be very happy to see Mr., and I invite Mr. to come to the cold house."

Xie Tong smiled and said, "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, please lead the way!"

Today's incident was much more than Xie Tong expected, he actually easily broke into the interior of the Sima clan and became a guest.

Xie Tong and his entourage swaggered into the Sima family's mansion in Luoyang.

This is not the Castle Lord's Mansion.

Luoyang used to be the capital of the Wu Zhou Dynasty, only the imperial palace, and did not establish the city lord's mansion, and when Wang Daoxun governed Luoyang, he was only looking for a house to live in.

Sima Xiangru followed Wang Daoxun's practice, bought a house, borrowed his courage to be a god, and did not dare to move into the old palace to live, which is no different from rebellion.

After Xie Tong and the others moved into the house, Sima Jinyu arranged for a few people to rest, and he ran to see Sima Xiangru.

Xie Tong and the others took the opportunity to hold a meeting to discuss the next step.

Their top priority is to gain Sima Xiangru's trust, make friends with him, and recommend Shi Jingjiao and his party to Sima Xiangru, and then cooperate with Shi Jingjiao to rebuild the White Horse Temple, and Xie Tong only needs to obtain the right to maintain the White Horse Temple, and it will be done.

This is not an easy task, the key lies in Shi Jingjiao, whether he can impress the Sima brothers with his half-hung I Ching and three-inch incorruptible tongue.

Xie Tong couldn't help but worry about Shi Jingjiao, and he hurriedly told a few people about the form in front of him.

Lao Lai said, "There is one thing we must pay attention to, we can't show that we are familiar with Shi Jingjiao and others, in this kind of trivial matter, it is very easy to show our feet." ”

Xie Tong nodded and said, "Lao Lai is reasonable."

Hong Shan smiled coquettishly and said, "Brother Tong is so majestic today, he is just in the casino, but he is really amazing, Shan'er was stunned when she saw it, especially the moment when the cup was revealed, her heart was about to rise to her throat." ”

Nightingale also admired the five-body throw, and said, "That's true, this girl is also a good gambler, but she has never seen such a beautiful thing in a casino, tell me, did you really hear it by ear?"

Without waiting for Xie Tong to answer, Lao Lai said disdainfully, "If he really has this kind of magical power, does he still need to dig up Cao Gong's treasures?

Xie Tong disagreed with Lao Lai's debunking of him, and said with a smile, "My internal strength method, called Huangtian Dafa, records a set of spiritual exercises, which can perceive the world purely with spiritual power, and if the invisible eyes are shaken, they can capture every message when the dice are shaking, so they are lucky to win, this is not a gambling skill."

Nightingale looked incredulous and said, "I see, then it will be difficult to play with other things."

Xie Tong smiled and nodded.

Lao Lai said, "Today, Sima Jinyu regards you as a guest, which is nothing more than taking a fancy to your gambling skills, asking you to stand out for him and challenge the local gambling hall masters in Luoyang, are you sure to win!"

Xie Tong's mind immediately reflected the figure of a person, the handsome and angular young man, he hurriedly said, "Lai, have you noticed a person in the casino today."

Lao Lai smiled and said, "I knew you were going to mention him, this person's surname is He, his name is Wuzhiting, he is a person from the local Xinglong gambling hall, and he is a genuine gambling master, and he faintly has the feeling of being the first person in the Luoyang gambling industry, he won a thousand taels of silver in Sima Jinyu's gambling hall every day and stopped, one or two is not much, one or two is not much, if you represent the Sima family, it is very likely to face him!"

Nightingale looked admiring and said with a smile, "This is the master! Unlike some people who only cheat to win."

With that, she and Hong Shan burst out laughing.

Xie Tong knew the cleverness of Wu Zhiting, and said, "Is it possible to buy him off, or settle it peacefully!"

As soon as Xie Tong's words came out, he almost broke his breath with laughter, and after a while, Lao Lai said, "This is almost impossible, the Sima family entered the business of the Luoyang gambling hall with a tough attitude, as Sima Jinyu said, it has touched the interests of the original tycoon, and it cannot be solved in a few words, and the losing party will definitely withdraw from Luoyang, and will not get involved in the gambling house business from now on." These original tycoons, the strength is very strong, it is said that the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, you must not underestimate this force, although Sima Xiangru ruled Luoyang, still did not dare to play yin, had to follow the rules of the gambling world, therefore, although the Jin family gambling hall **** deficit, but also to support, in this case, the two sides do not die, how can it be resolved peacefully!

Hong Shan heard that the gambling hall was in deficit, and clapped his hands and said quickly, "That strange Sima Jinyu looks dejected, it turns out that the gambling hall **** is losing! If it weren't for digging treasures and using their strength, they could have allied with the local forces to deal with him together."

Lao Lai said: "According to my estimate, Brother Sima will make a big move in the near future when he finds you a master, and he may attack the local gambling house at any time!

Xie Tong smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that this gambler is not easy to be! Let's take one step at a time! Let's recuperate first!"

Sima Jinyu went straight to the eldest brother's study, at this moment, Sima Xiangru was reviewing the documents, and when he heard the guard's report, he didn't raise his head and said, "What, did you come to me to borrow money again?

During this time, the Sima brothers' funds were very tight, and the preparation for the construction of the gambling hall had stretched him to the limit, and the **** loss-making gambling hall made him have to embezzle the treasury silver from the treasury in Luoyang, but in the long run, it was not a way after all!

Sima Jinyu said with a wicked smile, "Big brother, Jinyu is not here to borrow silver today, but to tell big brother a good news!"

Sima Xiangru put down the pen and ink in his hand, stretched his muscles, and said with a smile, "What good news!"

Sima Jinyu was busy telling the story of what happened in the gambling hall today.

Sima Xiangru let out an "oh" and said, "There is such a thing, has this person figured it out carefully? Don't be the undercover agents they planted in Xinglong Casino, let them cheat, but the gains outweigh the losses."

Sima Jinyu said unhappily, "Big brother, you are just too cautious, I have already contacted this person, he knows everything about things outside the Sai, and there is no doubt that he is really gambling." ”

Sima Xiangru frowned and said, "I hope so, but Jinyu, you are careless by nature and easy to be deceived, so you have to be careful, in this way, I will arrange a table of wine and food in the evening, please get together with the gambling honor, and touch his bottom by the way."

He paused and said, "Hasn't Master Liu in the mansion been to Saiwai, let him listen to him at night, if this person has a false sentence, I will definitely want him to look good tonight!"

Sima Jinyu looked reluctant, but he knew that his brother was right. This time to rule Luoyang, it was the result of his father Sima Xuan's hard work, and it was also when he caught up with Li Zheng, the king of Wu, and went to Saiwai.

If Li Zheng is here, I'm afraid it won't be his brother's turn.

Now that Li Zheng has returned to the dynasty, the struggle for power has been put back on the table, and they have to act cautiously, and the people of the entire Tang Empire are staring at them, and if they are not careful, they will be impeached and attacked by the opposition.

Li Zheng traveled outside the Saiwai this time, there were gains and losses, on the surface, he gained the support of the Murwei family, but the advantages of Middle-earth were lost, and it was difficult to assess the gains and losses.

Sima Jinyu said, "It's okay, set up a table in the mansion at night." With that, he turned and left.

When he walked to the door of the study, he suddenly stopped and said, "Big brother, do you believe in metaphysics?"

Sima Xiangru said, "Why does Jin Yu have such a question? It is difficult to say clearly about metaphysics, but throughout the ancient and modern times, many facts have proved that this science has a reason and basis for its existence. ”

Sima Jinyu said, "The junior brother recently met a master of metaphysics, and his appearance and inference are extremely accurate, do you want to find this master to calculate." The family has recently fallen into a passive situation because of Li Zheng's return to the dynasty, and we are also struggling in Luoyang, can there be something wrong. He deliberately didn't say that this person was recommended by the gambling honor, for fear that his brother's festival would be extraneous.

Sima Xiangru frowned, since he ruled Luoyang, he has really changed a lot, not like an ordinary gentleman, he just wants to enjoy life, and he has a bit of a taste of hard work. First, rights are hard-won, and if you don't grasp them well, you may lose them at any time. Second, the Sima family is the leader of the scholar clan, and he can't let others see him as a dou who can't be supported. Third, the Sima family is quite ambitious, and his ambition is not here, so how can he cultivate his own strength. Therefore, it is also extremely attentive to the operation, helplessly, Wang Daoxun previously governed Luoyang in an orderly manner, and his achievements could not be seen in the short term, and the forcible intervention of the gambling hall stood on the opposite side of the original local forces in Luoyang.

Sima Xiangru himself is against the family's operation of the gambling house, but helplessly this is his father's meaning, one is to increase the family's income, and the other is to find something for Sima Jinyu, he can't object, all kinds of factors are mixed together, so that Sima Xiangru tried his best, but after all, there was no trace of results, quite a bit of haste meaning, the form is not as prosperous as Wang Daoxun's rule, headaches almost followed, he couldn't help but doubt his ability.
