Chapter 178: Three Gambling Questions
When the thin man saw his angry appearance, he couldn't help laughing and said, "I'm not a roundworm in the stomach of the sect master, but I still understand the truth. He saw that he asked the fat man many questions, but the fat man not only could not answer, but his face was displeased.
At this time, he was no longer embarrassed by the fat man, and said straight to the point: "If you want to raise things, you must first recruit troops and buy horses." And you see, there hasn't been much change in the sect recently, but there are a lot fewer people in the old sect. In my opinion, the sect leader must have sent these people to inquire about the news. ”
When the fat man saw that he didn't say anything about the third thing about betting, but instead talked about these useless things, he was so annoyed in his heart, and asked: "Even so, so what? What does this have to do with Xie An's failure to send troops." ”
The thin man seemed to ignore it, and continued: "And recruiting troops and horses is not an overnight effort, even if the sect leader recruits troops and horses from now on, it will take two or three years to gather all the men and horses to fight against the Jin Dynasty." And these people can't be recruited, so they will be sent to the battlefield, and they will train for a while. In this way, in less than three years and five years, how can the sect leader do something?"
The fat man listened to what he said, and seemed to know his intentions. He calmed down and asked, "In this way, does the sect leader want to wait for Xie An to be old and can no longer fight on the battlefield before raising troops?"
The thin man heard him say what was the key at this point, and replied, "Exactly!"
The fat man, however, was full of suspicion and asked, "In that case, why did the sect leader arrest the girl at this time, instead of waiting until the time when the matter was about to be raised?"
The thin man smiled and said, "Say you're stupid, you're really smart." But say you're not stupid, there's always something you can't guess. ”
After a pause, he said: "Let me ask you, from what you see, if Xie An dies, who should assume his official position?"
The fat man seemed to be afraid of him asking himself like this, and said with a begging look on his face: "I'm afraid that you can't do it, so you just told me the reason for this, how about convincing me to lose?
The thin man laughed and said, "Okay, Brother Ma is really fast, and I will let you lose convincingly." Today's Xie family, in addition to Xie An, the most talented person is Xie Xuan. If Xie An is gone, his position will definitely be hereditary to Xie Xuan. ”
Judging from what Fang Cai said, Xie An only has three or five years to live, and the sect leader will raise troops in three or five years. Forget it in this way, when the sect leader acts, it must be when Xie An is not there. If it is said that the sect leader will do something, how can it be Xie An who will not agree to the first person in the world. ”
Seeing that the fat man heard what he said, he withdrew his fat hand, knowing that he already knew that this third question was also wrong. continued: "And Xie An's position was replaced by Xie Xuan, judging from the loyalty of the Xie family, the sect leader will do something, and the first one who will not agree is Xie Xuan, not Xie An." ”
Ling Yun and the others listened to the thin man's eloquent words, although there was a slight speculation in them. But listening to his analysis, everyone was clear in their hearts. I didn't expect that the Zhulu Sect was actually a place where the dragon and the tiger were hidden, and a small sect member could have such insight. And as the leader of these people, his strategy is definitely not under the cult members.
Thinking that the Zhulu Sect had played such a big game of chess, he couldn't help but secretly worry about Xie Xuan and the others.
The fat man listened to him, and then he admitted it. He sighed and said, "It's a pity that Brother Liu's knowledge only ends up as an ordinary sect member. It's just that I still don't know something, I wonder if Brother Liu can show it?"
The thin man said, "What you asked, but about that girl?" Seeing that the fat man nodded, he said: "This is where our sect leader has a far-sighted plan, and even I admire it so much." ”
Seeing that the fat man looked at him with a puzzled face, he didn't seem to understand what he was saying, and said: "You think, if Xie Xuan heard that the sect leader would act against him, he would naturally not be stupid and just send troops to defend against the enemy, and would not have thought that the sect leader would threaten his wife and children." At that time, if the sect leader wants to capture one or two more people from his Xie family, I am afraid it will be even more difficult than ascending to the sky. ”
The fat man suddenly realized, and said, "Oh, I see. The sect leader is taking precautions, and first arrested the young lady of the Xie family, and provided good food and clothing. When he can do things in the future, he will take something from this girl and send it to Xie Fuzhong. It is expected that although Xie Xuan is concerned about the safety of the Jin Dynasty, he will definitely be a little restrained when he thinks of his beloved daughter being captured, and he will not dare to make it difficult for us with all his might. ”
The thin man nodded and said, "That's why I said that the sect leader is far-sighted, which is admirable." ”
As the two spoke, they still stirred the game on the bonfire from time to time. And the two talked for a long time, and the game on the bonfire was also roasted, and from time to time there were bursts of tempting aromas.
The fat man picked up the pheasant that had been torn by himself earlier, and his face was quite proud. said: "Fortunately, when you were in a hurry, I found a loophole. If it weren't for that, I'm afraid I'd be hungry all night. After speaking, he ripped off the chicken leg that he had not been able to tear off before.
But the thin man was unimpressed, and said, "It is all right, if I eat all this wild game alone, I will not be able to eat it again." After saying that, he also ripped off a rabbit leg.
Both of them were in the usual way, and when they looked at each other, they couldn't help laughing.
It's just that the two of them did this, but Ling Yun and the others didn't feel uncomfortable. The others had not eaten for a long time, so they listened intently to the conversation between the two, and the game was not roasted, and the aroma was not very strong.
At this time, the two of them stopped talking, and began to chew the fragrant game slowly. I couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, just wanting to snatch the game from the hands of the two.
Hearing the two of them praise the deliciousness of the game again and again, the stomach could no longer bear it, and 'grunted' and screamed again.
The thin man was stunned when he heard the sound, and then burst into laughter. said: "Brother Ma, your belly is becoming more and more speechless. You're eating in your mouth, and he's screaming!"
When the fat man saw that there was something delicious to eat, he took care of the things around him. Hearing the thin man say this, his face showed embarrassment and said, "You don't know, we haven't eaten for most of the day." You can bear it, but I'm so hungry that my chest is pressed against my back. This belly bark is the best proof of this. ”
The thin man couldn't help but laugh when he explained this. said: "In the future, if Brother Ma is hungry, he doesn't need to speak, just gurgle on the two of them, and others will naturally know." ”
Ling Yun had already forgotten about the fact that he was hungry when he heard the two of them answer each other, so he didn't make any sound. At this time, seeing the two of them eating meat happily, how could they withstand such a temptation. The hunger in the stomach was unbearable, and the bursts of air did not stop rolling in the abdomen, and this sound was made.
But when he heard it, the thin man mistook it for the fat man, and hurriedly strangled his lower abdomen with his hand so as not to scream again. At this moment, I heard a 'gurgling' sound, but I don't know who sent it. (To be continued.) )
