Yi Song

Chapter 102 Who am I afraid of when playing cards?

As soon as I arrived on the first floor of the Sacred Heart Pavilion, I heard Liu Guozhang shouting.

"Guanjia, are you confused again? You're still thirteen! Guanjia, you must be so lucky. If I had known, I wouldn't have sat at this table. I originally wanted to enjoy the happiness of the Guanjia, but I didn't expect to be affected by the Guanjia. Good luck comes to you."

Then came Zhao Ji's hearty laughter.

Murong Shisan and Zhao Wuniang looked at each other and walked along the stairs to the second floor.

There are four tables here, with Guan Jia, Liu Erlang, Cai Taishi, and Wang Zhongcheng (Wang Fu) at the middle table. Gao Qiu and Liang Shicheng stood beside the official family.

Yang Jian stood on the other side, instructing the waiters to take turns serving tea, towels, and pastries. The service standards were completely in line with Yuxian Tower.

Prince Zhao Huan sat at one table, Bai Shizhong sat at another table, and Yu Shen sat at another table. There were some people standing around them in twos and threes.

After a brief look, I found that officials with the same signature as Privy Councilor and Chancellor and below were not qualified to serve on the table.

Zhang Bangchang, the Minister of Rites, and Wang Shiyong, the Shaoyin of Kaifeng Prefecture, could only stand aside, serving tea and water to the big bosses, and doing the work of small servants in the Huo family, but they were happy with it.

Seeing Murong Shisan and Zhao Wuniang walking up, everyone's eyes lit up and they all nodded with smiles.

"Fifth Sister and Thirteenth Niang are here too. Your clothes are really beautiful." Zhao Ji looked up and saw the two of them, "Especially Thirteenth Niang's flying fish suit, which is gorgeous, noble, stunning, brave and cold, Soft yet strong.”

"Official, I look at it, and my domineering attitude is exposed." Cai Jing, who was sitting next to him, bent down and reached out to touch the cards, and said with a smile.

Domineering exposed.

An unnatural light flashed across Zhao Ji's face.

Liu Guozhang chuckled: "I find it easy to deal with Master Murong when he shows off his sharp edge. Knife-to-knife, gun-to-gun, we all went face to face. What we feared the most was dealing with those old foxes who were deep in the city.

As an official, I am a vulgar person. What I fear most is being cunning, and I cannot play with it. These eyes can only see where there are wolves, tigers, leopards, and where there are bandits and enemies, but they cannot see through people's hearts and see who is traitorous and who is loyal. "

Cai Jing's turbid triangular eyes flashed with a stern look, and he smiled and said kindly: "Liu Erlang, this won't work. You have to practice your eyesight. You can practice it now and see who is the traitor and who is loyal among the people here."

The room suddenly became silent, and everyone couldn't help but look at Liu Guozhang.

Murong Shisan frowned, and Zhao Wuniang's palms became sweaty.

"Ah!" Liu Guozhang asked in surprise, "There are still treacherous officials here? No way. Grand Master, I am blind, can you tell me who is the treacherous official in this room?"

Cai Jing raised his head and laughed loudly, pointing his finger at Liu Guozhang, "Officials, the old man said, Liu Erlang is hiding his clumsiness. His eyes are so bright that he can tell right from wrong. You know today on the second floor of the Sacred Heart Pavilion , they are all close to the official family, and they are all loyal ministers."

Zhao Ji also smiled.

Liu Guozhang immediately replied: "That is natural. Now that the Grand Master is in charge of the government, and the temple is full of people, only then can Henan Province prosper and prosper, which is a rare peace and prosperity in a thousand years."

Zhao Ji smiled even more happily.

Cai Jing couldn't help but feel a prick in his heart.

Liu Erlang, this little bastard, must be making fun of himself!

The officials don't know what the local situation is now, and the ministers are pretending to be deaf and mute. Wouldn't you, Liu Erlang, know when you walked from the southeast to Bianjing?

Could it be that he is the same as himself, Wang Fu, Gao Qiu and others at heart?

No, absolutely not!

People like himself and Wang Fu and Gao Qi would not sacrifice themselves for others even if they were beaten to death. They would never fight a life-or-death battle in Yujin Garden for Er Zhang, whom they first met, like him.

Not to mention that after learning the bad news about Wang Yan and Chen Guang, knowing that it was a trap, he was still willing to go to jail just to clear up the relationship and protect a group of friends and relatives.

He is upright and loyal, but he can be conciliatory with himself.

Little fox, a very moral little fox.

While Liu Guozhang was fighting with Cai Jing, he kept looking at his hand and threw out an ivory card.

"East wind."

"Touch!" Zhao Ji took it unceremoniously, "I'm ready for everything, I just need the east wind!"

After that, he pushed the cards and said proudly: "Big four!"

Liu Guozhang's eyes almost popped out of his head, "What a good boy! I was touched by an official on my fourth birthday. This kind of luck is really unbelievable!"

Wang Fu also followed suit and said flatteringly: "The officials are the sons of God and the co-owners of the world. When the luck of the nine states is gathered together, good fortune will naturally take the lead and great blessings will spread throughout the sky."

Liu Guozhang took out all the chips in his drawer and gave them to Zhao Ji, spreading his hands.

"Guan Jia, my five thousand guan has been completely lost. I can't even play with you for a few more rounds. Captain Gao, how about you make up for it?"

"Okay!" Gao Qiu responded happily.

Zhang Bangchang, Wang Shiyong and others who were pouring tea and water for Bai Shizhong were full of envy. I can also make up for it, or I can lose money to the officials.

Whether you lose more or less is a trivial matter, the key is to make the officials happy.

After Liu Guozhang stood up, he raised his hands and said to Zhao Ji: "Guan, although I lost money to you, I got your good luck and went to kill others elsewhere."

Zhao Ji laughed and said, "Just take care of yourself and come back after you win the money."

Liu Guozhang replied with a bitter face: "Officials, I am rich in vain, my family is not rich, I can't compare with these great ministers. I'll go and have a look, let's go and have a look."

Zhao Ji smiled even more happily.

Liu Guozhang turned around, winked at Murong Shisan and Zhao Wuniang, and left.

Looking at the backs of the three people, everyone had complicated expressions, but Zhao Ji excitedly played a card.

"If you win a red card, whoever wants it can take it!"

After leaving the Sacred Heart Pavilion and reaching a place where there were no other people, Liu Guozhang couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

"Ah, I'm finally leaving. I'm tired of playing cards for an hour."

"Brother Erlang, why are you tired? You invented mahjong and running beard, and you taught them all, so why are you tired?" Zhao Wuniang asked, tilting her head, and then thought of something.

"Oh, daddy always wins, you always lose, and daddy is in your next family. Brother Erlang, you spend all your time on letting daddy win."

Liu Guozhang did not answer directly: "You are not considered a master if you can win cards by yourself. Only those who can make their leaders win cards are the real masters."

Zhao Wuniang understood it completely and said with a smile: "Brother Erlang developed his poker skills when he went to sea, and now he can show off his skills."

Murong Shisan said from the side: "When Erlang went to sea, he not only developed his skills and poker skills, but also learned the food from various places. I feel that Erlang's going to sea is completely different from other people's going to sea."

Of course it's different. When I go to sea, I ride on a 10,000-ton ocean-going ship. Apart from routine maintenance, there is nothing to do. When everyone has nothing to do, they set up a stage to play mahjong, knocking off beards, and playing from the Pacific to the Indian Ocean.

I was young and active, so whenever I went to a place, I would go ashore with a few active companions to taste the local delicacies, and then take turns to help cook in the kitchen on the ship, making various delicacies for everyone to eat.

He has indeed developed a skill.

"It's just that Erlang's behavior just now made me not used to it and I don't like it either. Brother Erlang, you must not become like the Six Thieves in the future."

Zhao Wuniang looked at Liu Guozhang and said.

Six thieves?

"Sister, it's not easy to live in Beijing, life is so hard! I miss you Liu Erlang, who is unparalleled in swords and guns, and has the ability to ride and ejaculate, but I was forced to become a flatterer.

But don't worry, the conscience in my heart and the mission above my head prevent me from becoming the Six Thieves, and I will become the gravedigger of the Six Thieves.

The six thieves and I are at odds with each other! "

"Whee!"

"I hope Erlang can remember his original intention and not join the others." Murong Shisan also said from the side, "In the scene in the Sacred Heart Pavilion just now, you and the old fox, the Grand Master, fought back and forth, more like a traitor than a traitor. I also Worry.”

"Master, if you want to cleanse this pool of stagnant water, you must first go down into the stagnant water. Don't feel dirty. Don't be afraid if your body is dirty, as long as your heart is not dirty.

Confucius said, repay kindness with kindness and repay hatred with straightness. As for me, I repay good with good and evil with evil. If you want to promote good and punish evil and uphold justice, you have to be more cunning than the bad guys in order to defeat them. "

Zhao Wuniang clapped her hands and said, "Brother Erlang is right. Only by being more cunning than the bad guys can you defeat them."

Murong Shisan smiled and said, "Where should we go?"

"Why don't you go to Guanxia Tower? It's high up there and has a nice view. Let's go there to relax."

"Alright."

The three of them walked over there and saw a group of people gathering there from a distance. The leader was none other than the Third Prince Zhao Kai, and a group of people around him, like stars holding the moon, stood on a high place and pointed out the country with great interest.

"It's disappointing, I won't go." When Murong Shisan saw it was them, he immediately lost interest.

"Let's change the place. After the official became obsessed with mahjong, the Wenci birthday party held by the third prince was hastily. He is afraid that he is very resentful of me, so it is better not to make trouble."

"Huang Qianshan, Wu Min...oh, and the number one scholar, Mo Chou, are all a group of celebrities and literati. They write beautiful articles, but it's just their character. Okay, let's go somewhere else." Zhao Wuniang also said.

Someone on Guanxia Tower saw the three of them, hurried downstairs and chased after them.

"Master, Master Murong!" The man shouted anxiously from behind.
