Chapter 6 Tasting the Sword

There was a time when time passed quite quickly, and before I knew it, I arrived at the Folding Sword Villa, at this time, the Folding Sword Villa was brightly lit, reflecting the icy and snowy valley, showing an extremely dazzling and colorful light scenery. Hai Fugui remembered the night scene of the ice sculpture.

The valley is like a small town. Although it is night, there are still a lot of people in the town, or gather in a noodle stall tavern, talking, fighting wine, and it is very lively. Teahouse. Restaurants and roadside stalls are almost full.

The reason why the outside of the Folding Sword Mountain Villa is so prosperous is that it is inseparable from the Ouyang family, and secondly, it has become a supply point for crossing the snow peak. In the past, if you want to go to the northeast region, you have to go around the snow-capped mountains, which will take an extra ten days, and if you pass through the snow-capped mountains, but there is no supply point in the middle, ordinary people can't pass at all. Since the Ouyang family established the Folding Sword Villa here, it has become an intermediate supply point for this road, and if it is not a large group of people and vehicles, they are generally willing to take this snow-capped mountain shortcut. There are more guests coming and going, and the Folding Sword Villa is naturally prosperous.

With the participation of more and more times of the sword conference, more and more people participated, the sword conference has slowly become a Jianghu martial arts people exchange information, exchange weapons, medicinal materials, secrets, learn from each other, make friends of a comprehensive trading conference, some people come here to recruit guards, some people come here to sell martial arts in order to be able to find a good owner, of course, the core theme of the sword conference is still the sword competition.

Hai Fugui saw that he had arrived at the Folding Sword Villa, so he proposed to take the first step. Jiang Ping'an also arched his hand and said, "There will be a period later." If you need help in the future, please come to Suzhou to find me, and the Giant Whale Gang will do their best to help. ”

Where did Hai Fugui expect to go to Suzhou to find her, he couldn't wait to find a clothing shop and put on ten or eight thick cotton clothes. It's all freezing.

After Jiang Ping'an saw Hai Fugui and the three of them go away, he let out a sigh: "Kindness does not hope to be repaid, the kindness of a gentleman is nothing more than that, it is really chivalrous benevolence and righteousness." ”

Xue Ru said with a little disdain: "Master, what kind of hero is he, he has no power to restrain the chicken." ”

Jiang Ping'an didn't answer her directly, but asked: "If it were you tonight, knowing that if you were invincible, you would lose your life, would you rush over to save people desperately?"

"Sure ...... I?" After thinking about it, Xue Ru hesitated for a while and said, "Although I can't defeat myself, I can go and call someone." The latter sentence is significantly smaller.

Jiang Ping'an said: "This is what makes him admirable." How many of them can do it if they sacrifice themselves for others? This is not a hero, so who else can be called it? Although he doesn't want to reciprocate, we Whale Gang can't do such unconscionable things. The grace of saving lives is greater than the sky, and we will repay it as a spring. ”

Xue Ru nodded as if he didn't understand, and said, "Master, he didn't tell you his name, and you don't know where he is, how can you repay others?"

Jiang Ping'an showed a smug smile and said, "Although he didn't say his name, I also guessed that eight * nine is not far from ten." ”

Xue Ru asked curiously, "Really, master, how did you guess?"

Jiang Ping'an said slowly: "If I'm not mistaken, the set of clothes that his two followers lit earlier should be the disciple costumes of the Mingzhou Sea Shark Gang, especially the sea shark on his chest is enough to be sure." And when two of his retinue slipped a sentence and called him a 'young helper', the reason for this person was about to come out. ”

Xue Ru listened to Jiang Ping'an's inference, and the boss with his mouth open: "Master, you mean that the young man is the young leader of the Sea Shark Gang, and you have an ......order with the master" Xue Ru covered his mouth, feeling incredible.

Jiang Ping'an sighed and said, "Maybe this is the will of heaven!" Jiang Ping'an, looking at the nameless secret book in his hand, said, "It's not too early, let's go to the inn and settle down." ”

The three of Haifugui's master and servant, after coming out of the clothes shop, went straight to the inn, but unfortunately there were too many people at this sword conference, of course, those with heads and faces lived in the guest rooms in the Ouyang family's village, and most of the people who came to join in the fun could only live in the inn outside, and the two inns in the town were all full.

Hai Fugui sat in the shed on the side of the road, put down the noodle soup bowl, and burped: "Whew...... It's a pleasure. "In this snow-covered place, eating a bowl of beef noodles in hot soup is really a great joy in life. Hai Fugui remembered the food stalls, but unfortunately there was no barbecue here.

Bi Tong and Yin Dayou finished eating early, Bi Tong touched his belly, tilted his head, and said, "Young Helper, where are we staying tonight?"

Yin Dayou seemed to have some good idea in mind and said, "Young Gang Master, why don't you go to Folding Sword Villa to find Jiang Shaoxia and Xiahou Young Master." Ken will arrange a comfortable and warm room. ”

Hai Fugui glanced at him and said, "Are you very familiar with them? It is already benevolent and righteous for people to be able to take us all the way to the Folding Sword Villa, and you still expect to live in the Ouyang family? You don't look at how many heroes and heroes outside are not qualified to live in the village." Really, you don't have a face, I still have a face. ”

Yin Dayou was bored, and muttered to Bi Tong: "Hmph, I know that I want to be embarrassed at this time, I didn't know who was dead and wanted to follow Miss Dusk." ”

Hai Fugui stood up and said, "There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, settle the bill, let's go." ”

Hai Fugui plans to spend the night at the homes of the residents in the town. It's a pity that this method is not only thought of by him, but also by others, and he asked three or four in a row, either that there is no vacant room, or that someone has already rented it. Just when Hai Fugui thought that he was going to sleep on the street tonight, an old man gave him hope.

This old man's surname is Qi, his hair and beard are all white, but his face is full of red light, his body is not rickety at all, his voice is loud, and he is full of energy, he is really a vigorous old man. Strangely, he was on crutches.

Uncle Qi spoke in a tone as if someone else owed him hundreds of dollars and hadn't paid it back, and said with a full sense of anger: "There are still two empty rooms in the house, one is where my son used to live, and the other is where my grandson used to live. If you want to live, you can live. It was originally a friendly and kind sentence, but as soon as it came out of his mouth, it changed its taste.

However, this sentence was no less than the sound of heaven for Hai Fugui, and he hurriedly said: "Thank you so much, uncle, don't worry, we will definitely pay you for the room according to the best inn." ”

"Not necessarily. Uncle Qi, on crutches, walked back and said, "Come with the old man, it's just on the corner of the street in front." ”

Hai Fugui didn't expect that although Uncle Qi's speech made people listen a little uncomfortable, he was still very kind and charitable. He followed behind and said, "Okay, uncle, you slow down." ”

Uncle Qi suddenly stopped, turned around and said, "Do you think that the old lady is too weak to walk?" Tell you, young man, don't talk about leaving, even if you run, you can come." After saying that, he walked like a fly, and Hai Fugui still couldn't keep up, so he had to trot a little to keep up.

Hai Fugui didn't expect this old man to be so strong, if he fell down while walking, he wouldn't be counted on my head, I had to think of a way to make him slow down, it was best to distract himself, so he asked: "Uncle, is your son out?"

"Dead. "Uncle Qi didn't look back, and the ancient well didn't wave.

"Oh, I'm so sorry. Mention your sadness. Hai Fugui said apologetically.

Uncle Qi didn't feel sad, and said: "What is there to be sad about, people will always die." ”

The truth is a truth, but there are a few people who can see it, the white-haired person sends the black-haired person, who can know the pain in his heart, and it is inconvenient for Hai Fugui to ask more. I didn't say anything all the way, and followed Uncle Qi to his house, which was a small yard.

Uncle Qi pushed open the door and said, "Come in!"

Hai Fugui was startled as soon as he came in, because he saw a young man in the house, and shouted: "Ghost, ......!"

Uncle Qi said angrily: "What are you yelling about! The young man is frizzy and not steady at all. Where the hell is there, this is my grandson. ”

"Didn't you say you were already ......," Hai Fugui asked tentatively.

Uncle Qi dropped a sentence: "Inexplicable!" and walked into the back room, and after a while, another voice came: "Shaocong, greet the guests." ”

This young man is Qi Shaocong, the second grandson of Uncle Qi, who is less than sixteen this year. Uncle Qi's real name is Qi Dashi, and he has a son who died of illness last year, and his eldest grandson went out. There were only two old and young people left in the family, so there were two empty houses. Hai Fugui was lucky, and he happened to touch it.

When Qi Shaocong saw the guests coming, he hurriedly greeted him, poured hot tea, and arranged for the three of them to stay. Hai Fugui hadn't slept well for a few days, and he fell asleep next to the bed.

The next day, the sun was three poles, and Hai Fugui got up. This sleep is really comfortable, Hai Fugui activity moved his hands and feet, and looked at the house by the way. I saw that this house, although simple, was neatly placed and clean, vaguely revealing a scholarly atmosphere, at least the charm that only three generations of scholarly families have. Hai Fugui felt a little strange, looking at the behavior of Uncle Qi and Qi Shaocong yesterday, they were not like that kind of scholar and talent, just ordinary people, could it be that there are still scholars at home?

When I got out of the house, I saw Qi Dashi sitting on a rocking chair in the courtyard basking in the sun, swaying back and forth, leisurely. Hai Fugui was about to say hello, but he first heard Qi Dashi squint his eyes and said in a slightly sarcastic tone: "The plan of the day lies in the morning, and the sun is three poles, and the young people get up." What a wasted spring!"

Hai Fugui knew that the explanation was useless, so he had to bow his head and say: "Uncle is right, the kid really shouldn't be sleepy for a while." Hai Fugui walked to Qi Dashi's side, took out a piece of silver, and said: "Uncle, a little money, for the accommodation expenses of the past few days, I hope the old man will not dislike it." ”

Qi Dashi still squinted his eyes, as if he was extremely enjoying the yellow sunshine, and said, "The old man is not greedy for your silver. In this case, if you really want to make amends, then help me send a letter to the Folding Sword Villa. ”

Hai Fugui felt strange, the Folding Sword Villa was here, why did he still send a letter, even if he sent a letter, why did he have to use the hands of others, it seemed that this old man was deliberately looking for a reason to shirk me, so he said: "Of course you can." ”

Qi Dashi had already prepared the letter. Hai Fugui took the letter and saw that there was a two-word "dust" written on the cover, with a silver hook and iron painting, and the force penetrated the back of the paper. Hai Fugui couldn't help but sigh: "Good calligraphy! ”

Qi Dashi opened his eyes and said, "I didn't expect that this kid of yours also knows calligraphy!"

Hai Fugui muttered and said, "I know a little about fur, and the old man smiled." By the way, who is this letter going to be sent to by the old man?"

Qi Dashi: "I heard that the Shushan faction also sent people to participate in the tasting meeting this time, if you meet those two Shushan Taoist priests in the Folding Sword Villa, just give them this letter." ”

Listening to his tone, he didn't seem to have a good impression of the Shushan faction. Hai Fugui was also a little apprehensive in his heart, but he had already promised the other party, so let's send it.

Hai Fugui called Bi Tong and Yin Da to have two people, fooled around casually at the street stall, filled his stomach, and walked into the Folding Sword Villa.

Today happened to be the first day of the Sword Conference, and because Hai Fugui got up late, he missed the start of the Sword Conference, and unfortunately missed the demeanor of witnessing the leader of the martial arts alliance. Hai Fugui followed the guide to the huge martial arts arena of Folding Sword Villa.

The entire sword tasting competition lasted for 15 days, and after a lottery competition, the elimination system was adopted, and the final 30 winners were selected to obtain the weapons created by the Folding Sword Villa.

Hai Fugui was shocked as soon as he came in. The huge jousting ring is arranged in a square, about 500 steps long and 300 steps wide, the ground is paved with smooth and neat stone slabs, and the whole jousting ring is divided into four jousting venues, and the square platform in the middle that protrudes three feet high has no one, and it seems that it is used for the finals.

Each martial arts venue is surrounded by martial arts people, and the costumes of these martial arts people are strange, and the weapons are even more strange. Hai Fugui said in his heart: "It is worthy of the 'Olympics' on the rivers and lakes!"

Such a grand occasion, Hai Fugui naturally would not miss it, so he went to see it one by one. The fighting scene is very exciting, and the contestants are also extremely hardworking, but unfortunately Hai Fugui doesn't know martial arts, so he can only watch the excitement.

Coming to this competition venue, this place has the most onlookers. The contestants on the field, one is a warrior in yellow clothes, and one is a warrior in blue who uses a sword. The martial arts of the two are extraordinary, the swordsmanship of the yellow clothes is exquisite, the swordsmanship of the blue clothes is superb, the two sides are quite frightening, you come and go, the swords intersect, it is very good-looking, causing onlookers to cheer.

Suddenly, the blue-clothed swordsman revealed a flaw, the yellow-clothed swordsman swung his knife and slashed obliquely, and the blue-clothed warrior returned to the sword to block, but the sword was not forced, and was slashed by the yellow-clothed swordsman, repelling a few steps, and the yellow-clothed swordsman stepped on, and continuously swung the knife and slashed. The blue-clothed swordsman can only raise his sword to block, take a step back every time he blocks, and lose when he sees that he is about to withdraw from the competition field.

At this time, a voice suddenly came from the crowd: "Come on, I'm putting all the money on you." You're stupid, why are you trying so hard with him!"

Hai Fugui felt that this voice was familiar, and looked at it along the voice, it turned out to be a flawed girl, no wonder she was so excited, she couldn't wait to go on stage, it turned out that she was pressing the silver in the competition, huh...... Wait, it's not going to be a legal event gambling.

Hai Fugui's heart lit up, and he hurriedly confirmed with the person next to him. Only then did I know that just before the start of the game here, the girl said that the blue-clothed swordsman would win. happened to be heard by the friend of the yellow-clothed swordsman next to him, of course he was not convinced, and said: "The blue-clothed swordsman will definitely lose, and the yellow-clothed swordsman will definitely win." The two argued and made a bet. The girl bet all the money on the blue-clothed swordsman to win. That's why I'm so excited.

Hai Fugui saw that Xiahou Jinxuan was also there, so he wanted to go over to say hello, but suddenly saw a blue figure next to the girl, so he stopped again.

At the moment when the blue-clothed swordsman was about to withdraw from the competition venue, he suddenly flashed, and made a move "swallow turn back", and his body was violently raised. The yellow-clothed swordsman reacted very quickly, his luck was stronger than his left arm, and he used his arm as a shield to take this fast leg, and the blue-clothed swordsman's move "oolong swinging tail" was extremely powerful, although the yellow-clothed swordsman blocked it, but he took a few steps back before he dissolved the power of this leg.

The blue-clothed swordsman, after kicking out a leg, retreated and collected his weapon. When the yellow-clothed swordsman still wanted to make a move, he found that he had already gone out of the boundary of the competition venue. Hearing the referee's voice: "Blue wins!" The yellow-clothed swordsman stomped his foot hatefully, because of his carelessness, he actually lost the game.

Seeing that the blue-clothed swordsman had won, the girl jumped up happily and said to the friend of the yellow-clothed swordsman, "Yay...... , I've won, get the silver. The friend of the yellow-clothed swordsman said indignantly: "Hmph...... , to make the sword opportunistic, if it is a duel of life and death, my eldest brother Ken will not lose. "This person is telling the truth, the blue-clothed swordsman just took advantage of the rules of the competition and won the opponent in the ring, if it is a real field life and death duel, there is a chance that he will be defeated by the opponent's sword.

The girl said: "Winning is winning, and losing is losing." Anyway, I won, and the money is mine. ”

Twilight Lan said on the side: "I am willing to lose the bet, and my brother will not go back on his word in front of everyone." ”

The friend of the yellow-clothed swordsman reluctantly took out the silver and said, "Hmph, take it." I am famous in the rivers and lakes, and I am famous for my words!"

The flawed girl was extremely happy when she got the silver, and said to Dusk Lan: "Sister Dusk, let's go eat something delicious, I saw a lot of snacks on the roadside last night, I have a treat! Young Master Xiahou, you can go too, you don't have to pay the bill this time." ”

Twilight Lan said: "The flawed girl has won the money and wants to have a treat, of course I have to give face." ”

Xiahou Jinxuan also said: "Okay, flawed girl, but the money and things must be collected, otherwise it will be easy to be stolen." ”

Girl: "Don't worry, you can't lose it." After changing his words, he said: "I don't know where Hai Gongzi is, otherwise if you call them, there will be more people." ”

Twilight Lan replied: "What do you tell him to do, let's go, there have been a lot of people recently, and there is no vacancy when he goes late!"

Since Hai Fugui knew that gambling was legal, he thought of the way to make a fortune by gambling in the bank, and immediately took action, borrowed a table next to him, and began to shout. Standing on the table, he took a big gong out of nowhere: "Bang ......!"

"Heroes, brothers and sisters, do you want to support your relatives and friends? Do you want to cheer for the idol you worship in your heart? In order to add a liveliness to this sword competition, my little brother is here to sit in the village and quiz. Believe your vision! If you bet on the blue side winner, the odds will be doubled and the odds will be 60%, if you bet on the silver or 2, after the blue side wins, you will get 126 coins, and if you support the yellow winner, please bet on the right side, the odds will be doubled and the odds will be 70......"

Hai Fugui used the skills of TV commercials, spitting lotus flowers and gushing endlessly. These people may have been to the casino to gamble money, but it is the first time to gamble money in this kind of martial arts competition, and it is still such an upright and confident gambling money, oh no, it is a guess. All of a sudden, the first game attracted more than 100 people to place bets.

Bi Tong and Yin Dayou didn't know what their young gang leader was doing, but they just followed the instructions of the young gang leader, collecting cash, issuing receipts, writing notes, printing prints, pressing hand prints, and keeping accounts. The common words used on the bars* are used, but the ledger is written in Arabic numerals as required by the lesser helpers.

Hai Fugui adjusted the ratio from time to time according to the condition of the silver received on both sides, and when he finally stopped betting, the blue-yellow ratio on the listing was already 1.8 to 1.7. The total bet is not very large, only more than three hundred and fifty taels. In this game, you can earn up to more than 30 taels. Hai Fugui knew that because he didn't know martial arts, he could only sit in the village conservatively, and he didn't have much temptation to everyone. If you want to make the village bigger, you must increase the odds, but if you increase the odds, the risk will be great, and it will accompany the light. Therefore, it is necessary to have a person who is first-class in martial arts and experience as a staff officer, but Hai Fugui knows too few people who understand martial arts. Xiahou Jinxuan and Miss Flawed don't think about it, they are with Dusk Lan, but they are afraid that they will fall to the ground before they get close. Jiang Cheng's words, it is estimated that he will not participate in these cheesy things of his own, maybe Xie Cangxing can, but where to find him now.

Hai Fugui opened a quiz, and dozens of people made money. Those who lost money hated the blue coat and were not angry, and those who made money were annoyed why they didn't bet more.

At the beginning of the second game, the number of bettors doubled, and a large number of martial arts people who bet gathered in the small corner of Haifugui, which attracted the attention of the entire martial arts ring. There are a lot of people, and Bi Tong and Yin Da are a little too busy.

At this moment, Xie Cangxing found Hai Fugui, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Hai Gongzi, what are you doing here?"

Hai Fugui looked up and saw that it was Xie Cangxing, and said happily: "Thank God, you are finally here!"

Xie Cangxing corrected him and said, "I'm not called Xie Tianxi, my name is Xie Cangxing!"

Hai Fugui didn't bother to talk to him, so he pulled Xie Cangxing aside and whispered: "Brother Xie, now there is an excellent opportunity to make a fortune, why don't you do it?"

When Xie Cangxing heard this, he could make a fortune, and immediately became interested, and said with a smile: "Brother Hai, it's really interesting, don't forget to take care of your friends when you get rich, let's hear it, what is the chance to make a fortune?"

Hai Fugui knew that he wouldn't be able to explain the Tao in this Zhuang quiz for a while, so he had to pick the important one and say, "Brother Xie, how are your martial arts?"

"Needless to say, I haven't lost a fight!" Xie Cangxing said confidently.

Hai Fugui didn't tell how much water was in his words, so he said: "Okay, Brother Xie, you can help me observe every competition that will start now, judge who wins and who loses with your experience and vision, and tell me in advance." I'm sitting here and quizing, and if I win, we'll split the money fifty-fifty, how about it?"

Xie Cangxing was a little suspicious and said, "Can you make money sitting in the bank?"

Hai Fugui said: "I opened one just now, because there was no martial artist like Brother Xie present, I didn't dare to open a big one, and I only earned about thirty taels." ”

"Thirty taels! You just had such a short meeting?" Xie Cangxing couldn't believe it.

Hai Fugui nodded and said, "Yes, if Brother Xie's vision is accurate, then we will make a lot of money this time." When the time comes, we'll add two to five, hehe....... ”

Xie Cangxing said: "Judging who wins and who loses, that's a piece of cake, with me, it's difficult to lose if you want to." ”

Hai Fugui was startled, thinking that he had mastered the method of secret operation, and hurriedly said: "Brother Xie, let's not interfere with the martial arts competition, lest the Ouyang Alliance Leader find you trouble." ”

Xie Cangxing smiled and said, "Just predict who wins and who loses, and I will take fifty percent of the gains, which is not good." In this way, I can take 20%, after all, I don't have a penny. Xie Cangxing thought that doing business would cost him, although Hai Fugui didn't say how much it would cost, but he didn't have a penny, so he took away fifty percent of the profits. Alas, I originally came to fight, but I didn't expect it to become a show, but there are no good players in this session, and it's not worth shooting.

How did he know that Hai Fugui was an empty glove white wolf, and this guess relied on his vision to make money. Hai Fugui couldn't shirk it, so he followed him. Then he talked to Xie Cangxing about some details.

"Shaoxia, I didn't expect to meet you again here. ”

Hai Fugui turned his head to look, and saw a girl in light blue and white, twenty-eight beautiful, with white teeth and red lips, a round face, big eyes and bright water like shining black jade, a long black hair with a slender blue hair tied behind him in a daze, and two strands of long hair floating on her chest added a chic. Holding a long sword, slim and smiling.

Hai Fugui couldn't remember who this woman was for a while.

Xie Cangxing saw it and said, "Brother Hai, when did you meet such a handsome girl, don't you want to introduce me?"

Hai Fugui saw the green-clothed girl next to the woman and remembered, it turned out that this was last night when he met the master and servant, and it was too dark last night to find this ...... What is it called, sadly, I forgot, I didn't expect this girl to be a beautiful woman.

Of course, Hai Fugui would not reveal the big flaw of forgetting what the other party's name was, so he said: "It turned out to be you, the girl, what a coincidence." Come, I would like to introduce you to a hero with strong martial arts, this is Xie Cangxing Xie Daxia, who is known as the 'Jade-faced Flying Dragon' by the people of the rivers and lakes. ”

Xie Cangxing had a cramp in the corner of his eyes, when did he have an extra nickname. The maid Xue Ru muttered in her heart: "Just his full beard, scarred face, and 'jade face', he really goes to the grave without paper, fooling the ghost!"

Hai Fugui introduced Jiang Ping'an again, and said: "Brother Xie, this is ......" Speaking of this, Hai Fugui deliberately paused, and saw that Jiang Ping'an did not answer, so he continued: "...... Lotus Woman ...... "Speaking of which, I stopped again.

Jiang Ping'an is also a wise and ingenious person, and he guessed Hai Fugui's thoughts, so he arched his hand and said: "Suzhou, Jiang Ping'an." But in his heart, he cursed Hai Fugui fiercely, and even forgot his name, and made up a cheesy nickname like "Lotus Woman", it is estimated that if he didn't sign up for himself, he could continue to make it up.

The two sides have met. Jiang Ping'an saw that Hai Fugui was very lively here, and the two subordinates were very busy, and asked: "Shaoxia, seeing that you are busy here, I don't know if the little woman can share one or two for Shaoxia." ’

It just so happened that Hai Fugui was short of manpower here, and when he heard that someone was willing to help, of course he was willing, so he arranged for Jiang Ping'an and the two of them to register the stakes.

Jiang Ping'an was shocked for a moment when he heard Hai Fugui's novel 'Arabic' numerals and the tabular bookkeeping method he adopted, and after he became proficient, he was full of admiration. Previously, I came up with this unprecedented method of guessing in the bank, not to mention how much money can be made for the time being, at least for the time being, and now I have created such a novel, convenient and easy-to-use bookkeeping method. Jiang Ping'an only suddenly felt that Hai Fugui's body was full of mystery.

With Xie Cangxing's accurate prediction, Hai Fugui can increase the odds, and one game was even increased to one to twenty, which caused a sensation throughout the audience. However, this Hai Fugui also earned the most, and this one alone earned nearly four hundred taels. With Xie Cangxing, he knows the strength of both sides in every competition, and for those competitions where the difference in strength is very obvious, Hai Fugui will no longer be a banker, and the number of games in the village will be some competitions with balanced strength or upsets. Xie Cangxing is not at a loss, as he himself said, "It's just a guess of the winner, it's a piece of cake." "After a whole day, I have been a banker for nearly 20 games, and I only guessed one wrong, and I still lost the competition, and I accidentally slipped and fell under my foot.

But it doesn't last long to sit in the bank and keep winning, and even if you have to deliberately lose two. Hai Fugui doesn't even need to interfere with the inside story of the competition and play those dishonorable means, just by betting on the sidelines, he can make a lot of money. For the banker's means, Hai Fugui does not use much, but it is enough. For this reason, Hai Fugui also deliberately created a lot of people to win several games, and then hyped it up, especially one person won 12 games, and 50 yuan won back nearly 1,000 taels, which can be described as today's legendary star.

Xie Cangxing didn't know how much silver he had won, anyway, at noon and in the afternoon, he ordered the most luxurious Fuxi Restaurant food in the town outside Zhejian Villa. It is estimated that it should have won quite a lot.

After the last game, some people were happy and some were sad. The joy of winning, the frustration of losing. The happiest thing is, of course, Hai Fugui. After everyone left, just as Hai Fugui was about to pack up and leave, Jiang Cheng came.

Hai Fugui said happily: "Brother Jiang, why are you here?"

Jiang Cheng still spoke so capably: "Brother Hai, you have made such a big move here, and Master sent me to ask what happened?"

When Hai Fugui heard this, he secretly scolded himself, he was too negligent, you held a gambling lottery at the host's house, and you didn't say hello to the host in advance, where did you put the other party, and where did you put the master of the martial arts alliance. But what he did couldn't be said on the surface, so he said: "That's the case, although I don't know martial arts, but I have always been extremely yearning for the rivers and lakes, although I can't participate in the sword competition this time, but I also have illusions, so I did such a quiz activity, I didn't expect the friends of the rivers and lakes to give face, and I also like this entertainment activity." That's why I made the scene a little bigger, which caused trouble to Guishanzhuang, and there was no one here. ”

Of course, Jiang Cheng didn't know the Huahua Dao inside, so he said: "Brother Hai, there are many people in the Sword Tasting Conference, which is easy to cause disputes, and I hope that Brother Hai can control the scene so as not to cause a riot." ”

Hai Fugui thought about it, he patronized and made money, he didn't think that in case someone lost his red eyes, he moved his weapon in excitement, thinking of this, Hai Fugui was in a cold sweat. Said: "Brother Jiang reminded me. Is there something you want to ask Brother Jiang for help with?"

"Brother Hai, please speak. ”

"That's right, you see that the platform behind me is too simple, I don't know if I can borrow the grandstand on the north side as a guessing venue, and I am willing to pay 2,000 taels of silver a day as a rental fee. ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard "two thousand taels a day",

Xie Cangxing was the first to say: "Brother Hai, you are not wrong, two thousand taels a day! Where did you get so much silver?"

Hai Fugui affirmed: "That's right, it's two thousand taels, as long as you can guess steadily, you will be offered two thousand taels of silver immediately after the end of the competition every day, and you will never be in arrears." Hai Fugui revealed his original intention, that's right, it is to be stable!

Jiang Chengdao: "I'll borrow a platform for two thousand taels, I'm afraid, Brother Hai has other plans, right?"

Hai Fugui was guessed by Jiang Chengchai, and he didn't hide it, and said: "Brother Jiang, you also know, I don't have enough manpower now, no one takes care of the field to maintain order, in case someone makes trouble, I can't use my fists and feet, and I can't control the scene at all." If the Folding Sword Villa can come forward, it will naturally be the best. ”

Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "Brother Hai, I know you have a lot of ideas, but I can't be the master of this matter, and I have to ask the master." ”

"That's natural, waiting for Brother Jiang's good news in the Fuxi Restaurant outside the village. ”

After sending Jiang Cheng away, Hai Fugui beckoned everyone and packed up his things. After this whole day, Xie Cangxing was the most relaxed, just walking around the two places, and it was over. The most tired are Jiang Ping'an's master and servant, Bi Tong and Yin Dayou, the four of them registered the bets, and their hands were about to cramp. But when Hai Fugui opened the big box under the two tables, except for Hai Fugui, the rest of the people were dumbfounded.

I saw two huge chests full of gold, silver and copper coins. Fortunately, the competition has ended at this time, and the personnel have left the ring, otherwise it will definitely cause a scuffle.

Everyone was amazed, firstly, because there were too many gold, silver and copper coins, which were almost two large chests full, and most importantly, in just one day, as if by magic, there were two more chests of gold and silver.

Hai Fugui saw them open his mouth one by one and said, "Don't be in a daze, it's a total of four thousand four hundred and sixty-nine twenty thirty wen." Oh, no, it's thirty-one. Hai Fugui picked up a copper coin that was stepped on under his feet.

Xue Rudao: "Master, am I dazzled or dreaming!"

Jiang Ping'an also said in disbelief: "Young man, he is really a genius." ”

Xie Cangxing picked up a pile of gold and silver and said: "Brother Hai, this money grabbing is not so fast, no wonder you dare to boast of Haikou, two thousand taels to rent a platform in Zhejian Villa." However, renting a platform for 2,000 taels is too expensive, according to me, at most five ...... Ten taels. ”

Hai Fugui smiled and said: "In business, the most taboo thing is to eat alone, if we really make money under the nose of Folding Sword Villa, but we don't give anyone to others, we are only afraid of ......." Hehe. Hai Fugui didn't say the last words, but Xie Cangxing and Jiang Ping'an were both smart people who could understand it at all.

Xie Cangxing said: "I can't imagine it, Brother Hai, it's really not easy to be so sophisticated at a young age." Jiang Ping'an also admired this young man who was one year younger than himself in his heart. Today he surprised himself too much, more than the sum of his life.

Hai Fugui smiled and said, "Brother Xie has won the award." Okay, let's deposit this silver in the money outside the village, and after the sword conference, let's divide the dividends. ”

Xie Cangxing had great strength, and he carried a large box by himself, with ease. Hai Fugui and the five of them carried a box, and they all had some difficulty. Hai Fugui realized that people who practice martial arts can really lift thousands of catties. In fact, he misunderstood, thinking that people who practice martial arts on the rivers and lakes can think of Xie Cangxing like this, carrying a thousand-pound box like no one. Xie Cangxing, who can really do such a heavy lifter, can already be called a first-class master in the rivers and lakes.

After Hai Fugui exchanged the silver for the Qianzhuang ticket number, he came to Fuxi Restaurant to ask for a luxury box, ordered a table of signature dishes, and served three jars of fine wine.

After a full meal, Xie Cangxing said with a smile: "It's still blessed to follow Brother Hai, the delicacies of the mountains and seas, the wine and delicacies, there has never been such a sumptuous as today." ”

Hai Fugui said: "Young Master Xiahou is not a stingy person. ”

Xie Cangxing thought that the wine glass was small, so he directly picked up the wine jug and poured it into his mouth, and burped with satisfaction: "Young Master Xiahou is generous, but it's a pity that there is a housekeeper by his side!"

Hai Fugui looked at him puzzled, and Xie Cangxing had no choice but to explain: "It's the flawed girl." ”

Hai Fugui suddenly realized, thinking of that lovely little girl, his heart felt warm. looked at Jiang Ping'an's master and servant, both of whom were already sleepy, and said: "Jiang Nuxia, you have worked hard today, if you are free tomorrow, can you help with this quiz again?"

Jiang Ping'an agreed: "I can't ask for it, I just want to learn this way of making money by Hai Shaoxia's side." ”

Seeing her politeness, Hai Fugui was a little embarrassed and said, "Don't dare to be." ”

Everyone talked about some things again, and Jiang Ping'an said that he was tired and retired first.

As soon as Jiang Ping'an left, Xie Cangxing showed a strange smile and said, "Brother Hai, you and this Jiang girl seem to have a good friendship?"

"Pingshui meets. Hai Fugui didn't want Xie Cangxing to misunderstand anything, so he quickly explained.

Xie Cangxing didn't believe him either, looking at Jiang Ping'an's performance towards Hai Fugui today, it was extraordinary. Since he didn't want to say, it was inconvenient to ask more.

At this time, Jiang Cheng came, bringing instructions from the leader of the Ouyang Alliance, and said, "Master has promised to lease a platform to you, and at the same time send ten disciples for Brother Hai to be sent by you. ”

Hai Fugui needs the Folding Sword Villa to send people to maintain order, the main purpose is to use the brand of the Folding Sword Villa, with the help of the prestige of the Ouyang Alliance Leader, as for how many people come, it doesn't matter, I didn't expect the Ouyang Alliance Leader to be so generous, and directly sent ten disciples, of course, the more for Hai Fugui, the better. So he said: "The leader of the Ouyang Alliance is really righteous and cloudy, and the atmosphere is extraordinary. I feel it in my heart under the inscription. ”

Jiang Cheng suddenly thought of something and said, "By the way, Brother Hai has a lot of people in the Sword Folding Mountain Villa these days, have you found a place to stay." Hai Fugui told him that he lived in a common family in the town.

After Jiang Cheng listened, he said that he would arrange for him to stay in the guest room in the Folding Sword Villa, and Hai Fugui couldn't ask for it, and those who could enter the village were naturally people with a little prestige, and living in the village naturally gave him more opportunities to get to know.

Hai Fugui followed Jiang Cheng to the west side of the guest room courtyard of Zhejian Villa, the whole courtyard is huge, and at a glance, there are nearly a thousand houses. Jiang Cheng told him that this was only one of the courtyards, and that there were three courtyards of this size in Folding Sword Villa, and Folding Sword Villa had spent a lot of money to build these guest rooms, and it was not entirely free for people to live in, and different fees were required according to the specifications of the rooms.

Jiang Cheng asked Hai Fugui to wait in the living room for a while, and went to report it himself.

The owner of the Folding Sword Villa is also the current leader of the martial arts alliance, Ouyang Ying, the head of the Ouyang family, and has a son, but unfortunately he is jealous of the talent, he died in his early years, and now he only has two daughters. At present, the person in charge of the family is Ouyang Qian, the second lady of the Ouyang family, and I heard that the second lady Ouyang Qian has been weak and sick since she was a child, and she cannot practice martial arts;

Jiang Cheng, as Ouyang Ying's fourth disciple, although he also has a lot of rights, he has to inform Ouyang Qian, who is in charge, of such things. Ouyang Qian heard that she was Jiang Cheng's friend, so she came to the living room in person. As for Xie Cangxing, she had already seen it, and it must be another person in the living room.

Although Ouyang Qian doesn't know martial arts, she still has the vision of the Ouyang family. It's just that this person doesn't look like a person in the rivers and lakes. There was a little strange in his heart, and he said politely: "I heard that the fourth senior brother said that he brought a friend to Folding Sword Villa, and the little woman was entangled in trivial matters, so I am sorry that the distinguished guest has been waiting for a long time." ”

Hai Fugui was really bored drinking the hospitality tea of Folding Sword Villa, looking at the scattered furnishings in the living room, suddenly heard a delicate voice, turned his head to look, and saw a beautiful and dignified, delicate and weak woman walked out from behind the screen, it seemed that it should be the second miss of Folding Sword Villa, and quickly stood up and said: "Mingzhou Sea Shark helped Hai Fugui to see the second miss. ”

Ouyang Qian replied lightly, made a blessing, and said, "Hai Gongzi doesn't need to be polite, you are a friend of the fourth senior brother, and naturally you are also a friend of the Folding Sword Villa." Mingzhou is really a place of outstanding people, first there is Xiahou Young Master is talented, and the current Hai Gongzi is bold and promising. ”

Hai Fugui didn't know how much compliment she had in her words, but it sounded quite comfortable, especially Ouyang Qian's soft and weak speech, which made it difficult for people to refuse, and said: "Second Miss has been promoted, the young master of Xiahou is the dragon and phoenix among people, and he is an ordinary layman." ”

Ouyang sat elegantly on the main seat, with a good demeanor, and said lightly: "The fourth senior brother's vision of people has always been extremely accurate, and Hai Gongzi is naturally outstanding. ”

Hai Fugui realized that it was because of this, it seems that the status of these two young ladies in Folding Sword Villa is not low, and she knows what has just been decided, maybe she is one of the decision-makers. Hai Fugui took a closer look at this delicate woman, and looked up to her a little more in his heart.

praised others, Hai Fugui was embarrassed to admit it cheekily, and said: "Alas, it's just a whim, and Brother Xie was idle and bored so he found something for himself, like a person like me who doesn't practice martial arts, and it is not in vain to come to Folding Sword Villa." ”

Xie Cangxing heard that this kid actually pulled himself into the water, obviously it was your own idea, so he had to catch me, so he said with a smile: "Brother Hai invited, anyway, I am also idle, so I messed with Brother Hai." ”

The two sides said a few more words that were not nutritious, and Hai Fugui had to cooperate as much as possible, feeling in his heart that this was also the heir of the four great families, and Xiahou Jinxuan, Huangfu Zhuo, and Ouyang Qian all gave people a different feeling. This second lady seems to be warm and polite, but in fact keeps a distance, perhaps because there is a difference between men and women.

After chatting for a while, Ouyang Qian arranged for her personal maid Huanxue to lead Hai Fugui to the guest room to rest.

After Hai Fugui and his party left, they only heard Ouyang Qian say: "Fourth Senior Brother, this friend of yours is not simple, Qian'er is a little unable to see through it." ”

Jiang Chengdao: "Brother Hai is benevolent and self-sacrificing, and there may be some absurd actions occasionally, but Brother Hai is kind-hearted and a real gentleman." ”

Ouyang Qian said with some curiosity: "You said that he has some absurd behavior, do you mean that he sits in the village to guess?"

Jiang Cheng said with some hesitation: "This ...... , and I'll talk about it later. ”

Ouyang Qian heard him say that half of it was left and half of it was left, but she didn't ask. Just as he was about to speak, he coughed.

Jiang Cheng, a cold-faced man, showed a rare expression of concern: "Second Miss, you are not in good health, what do you tell me...... Or other disciples just do it. ”

Ouyang Qian looked happy, lowered her head and said slowly: "Fourth Senior Brother, that ...... There are a few new winter coats in your room, so try them on when you get back to your room. If you don't feel like it fits, just tell me......"

Jiang Cheng reverted to that expression and said "um", but it is unknown whether his heart is surging.
