Chapter 39 Gambling

About half a mile away from the place where Lu Yao and Liu Yan negotiated, there was a mansion facing the middle of the street, which was the governor's mansion of Bingzhou.The scale of this mansion is extremely grand, occupying the entire Lifang.The outer walls of the mansion are quite dilapidated, which is the result of damage during the Huns' occupation. Even the main gate collapsed, so the side entrance had to be opened for use.

Entering the door, you can see dozens of craftsmen are cleaning the inside and outside of the mansion, demolishing the broken walls one by one, and at the same time building the inside and outside of the big house.Although the project is far from over, the cornices, bucket arches, pavilions and pavilions have begun to appear, which is really magnificent.

After crossing the continuous several houses, and then passing through a flower hall, you can enter the back garden.The back garden is composed of various styles of buildings, corridors, trees and artificial waterscapes. If the time goes forward a year or so, it can be called a rare and exquisite garden in the north.By now most of the buildings had been burned, and the lake had naturally dried up.Some craftsmen were digging up the silt to re-fed a spring into a winding stream.

The spring water originated from the sparse forest in the southwest corner of the back garden, and a small two-story building stood in the forest.The small building is very gorgeous with carved beams and painted buildings.Looking at the brand-new appearance, it is obvious that it was rushed in the past few days.I don't know how much manpower and material resources there are to build such a house in just a few days.In Jinyang, where most of the city has been abandoned, this small building is like a fairy dwelling.

The second floor of the small building is not far from the courtyard wall. If you lean on the railing on the balcony, you can just see Lu Yao, Liu Yan and others who are facing each other through the sparse forest.

On the balcony, the middle man Xu Run, who was dressed in a green shirt, turned around and walked into the building, calling out: "My lord, this Lu Daoming seems to have a humble personality, but I didn't expect him to be an extremely protective person. Seeing that nephew Shi Ren I'm going to suffer!"

Connected to the balcony is a luxuriously decorated hall.The hall is filled with the sweet fragrance of dipterocarp, and the sound of silk and bamboo lingers in the ears, which makes people feel smoky.On the main seat, a man in a brocade robe holding a sprinkling of gold and jade and beating the beat to the music is none other than Liu Kun, governor of Bingzhou.Hearing Xu Run's words, Liu Kun just shook his head: "It's a good meeting, Zhiquan, you just say those words that spoil the scenery, it's a disappointment, a disappointment!"

Xu Run said anxiously: "Why does a nobleman like Shiren compete with ordinary pawns for a while. My lord, why don't I send people over to make them stop, so as not to hurt the friendship of my comrades."

Liu Kun frowned and said, "No need. Just let Shi Ren run into trouble. This kid has been famous since he was a child, and he won the official position because of his father's shade when he was young. His character is arrogant and indulgent. Brother let him come with me." Bingzhou, it may not be because there is an intention to hone him. However, you have flattered him back and forth, making him..."

Speaking of this, Liu Kun raised his eyes and saw that Xu Run's gentle and elegant smile was a little stiff; he couldn't help sighing, knowing that this is human nature, and it cannot be avoided no matter what.He bypassed this topic and continued: "This time I was transferred to Bingzhou unexpectedly, and no one expected the situation in Bingzhou to be so corrupt; therefore, the subordinate officials and soldiers inevitably complained. Soldiers, it really shouldn't be! Bingzhou is a big town of vassals, and the Bingzhou army is brave and good at fighting, which is not comparable to the county soldiers in the Central Plains. I hate that Sima Teng's son abandoned Bingzhou's soldiers and civilians and fled, so that the soldiers who had fought fiercely with the Huns for many years were lost in the wild. It is my good fortune that these warriors have defected to Liu Yueshi's command, and it is justified to let go of their clothes and food, and bond with kindness and righteousness. Shiren regards them as ordinary defeated soldiers and bullies them with power, alas, it is not appropriate!"

Liu Kun took Yu Ruyi to the table for a meal, shook his head and said, "The rest of the Bingzhou Army are all struggling out of the sea of ​​corpses and blood. They are not afraid of death, so will they succumb to Shiren's official authority? This matter Zhiquan You don't want to meddle, just let Shi Ren suffer a little bit today, lest he underestimate the heroes of the North... He is the one who will be the head of our Zhongshan Liu clan in the future, how can he be so narrow-minded?"

"My lord's love for the juniors in the family is really touching. Nephew Shiren is extremely talented, and he is fortunate to be ordered by the lord, and he will definitely be able to take on great responsibilities in the future." Xu Run chuckled lightly to resolve the embarrassing situation Scene: "It's Lu Daoming, haha, I never imagined that an unknown member of the Bingzhou Army could be so brave. Congratulations, my lord, for his insight and talent, he has another hero under his command."

Liu Kun's expression was a little strange.He pondered for a while before slowly saying: "As for Lu Yao..."

As soon as I said this, I suddenly heard thunder-like roars from the street.

"Could something be wrong?" Xu Run asked anxiously.

The place where Lu Yao, Liu Yan and others were located was very lively at this time, surrounded by hundreds of spectators, and many people rushed here from afar.The voices of shouting and applauding came one after another, like thunder.The original tense atmosphere was gone, instead it looked like a temple fair.

In the middle of the crowd, Shen Jin raised his arms high and walked around triumphantly, as if he had completely forgotten the embarrassment he felt when he was forced by Liu Yan just now.Every cheer from all around seemed to make his complexion brighter.He used to have broad shoulders and a thin waist, with muscles all over his body protruding, very strong; now his naked upper body is steaming in the cold wind, making him look even more majestic and mighty.What really attracted Shen Jin's attention was the dense scars on his body.Those mottled scars were knotted, roughly counted, there were no less than thirty places.These scars occupy many parts of his upper body, criss-crossing each other, splitting the skin.Some scars are extremely deep, the shape of bones can almost be seen under the thin skin, obviously left by serious injuries that can kill people, it is extremely frightening.

But in the eyes of men galloping on the battlefield, this is the sign of a warrior.Everyone secretly marveled in their hearts, how many times would it take to fight to the death to get this scar all over the body?How brave and sturdy must he be to survive those countless tragic battles?

Even Lin Jian's eyes could not help revealing a bit of admiration: In terms of single-handed martial arts, even three or five of them are not his enemies; He is a good man who has been on the battlefield for a long time. He can be seen at a glance, and there is absolutely no room for any tricks.When it comes to who has more scars, Lin Jian can only feel ashamed.Although this Shen Jin uttered wild words, it may not be without evidence, he is indeed a hero who fought in a sea of ​​corpses and blood!

The dozens of soldiers who came with Liu Yan even looked at each other in blank dismay. Although they had gone through countless battles, they knew that they never had as many scars as Shen Jin.For a while, even though the surrounding people shouted and made noise, Lin Jian and the dozens of soldiers he led fell into silence.

Liu Yan looked at his subordinates who were speechless for a while, feeling bitter.When I was searching my brains and wanted to say a few words to save the situation, I only heard someone outside the crowd yelling: "Shen, don't be arrogant, I will compete with you!"

Before the words were finished, a few soldiers came out, without further ado, they took off their upper body clothes, their muscles and bones were like iron, and they were covered with scars.They were accompanied by loud companions who pointed to the scars on their bodies and explained in detail.For a moment, the momentum was so loud that it completely overwhelmed Shen Jin.

Shen Jin took a closer look and saw that these soldiers looked familiar. They were all old acquaintances of the Bingzhou Army who came to Jinyang one after another, but belonged to other generals.

"A few bastards, do you dare to sing against Master Shen? Master, my subordinates are better than you!" Shen Jin laughed and cursed, and then changed his subordinates to undress and end the stage.Those few soldiers were all old soldiers who had been through life and death with him many times. In terms of scars, they were the right opponents.

After a while, everyone was excited and the atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic.One by one, more and more men came out and undressed, each showing off their bravery.There are shirtless men standing in the middle of the street. It is obviously the cold winter months, but it is steaming like a bathhouse.

It's really outrageous, Liu Yan is an official in charge of public security in Jinyang, how can he let this situation go?He shook his head repeatedly, and gave Lin Jian a wink, ordering him to lead all the soldiers to suppress the situation.Who would have thought that Lin Jian would give him a wry smile, and without moving his feet, he raised his hand and pointed to a crowd of people on the right.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way! Look at your master Ding Miao!" A cheery shout came from there.

Upon hearing this voice, Liu Yan raised his hand to stroke his forehead, feeling dizzy.

Why is Ding Miao here?This master has always been bold and reckless, and he is afraid that the world will not be chaotic. The scene in front of him is just in his interest, wouldn't it turn the sky upside down?
