Chapter 94

Li Jiao narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a cold voice, "What is your intention, Lord Weng, are you going to stand up for Liang Xiao?"

"No, this is Liang Xiao's money." Liu Ling smiled slightly and added another sentence. "Just part of it."

Li Jiao sneered: "He has so much money, why does he need to live in a melon shed?"

"That's why you don't understand." Liu Ling smiled brighter. "He just doesn't want to be rich. Otherwise, he would have been rich long ago. My Huainan Palace heard about his virtuous name and sent envoys to Jiangdu three times to invite him into the mansion with a lot of money, but he refused. If he agrees, then Why do you need to live in a melon shed. Although Huainan is small, there are thousands of small courtyards for the world's wise men. It's just that he wants to serve the emperor wholeheartedly, and he refuses to follow me in Huainan."

As soon as this remark came out, there was a lot of discussion around.This unremarkable young man actually rejected the recruitment of the Huainan Palace?The king of Huainan is a famous virtuous king, and the corporal is famous for being a virtuous corporal. To be invited by the king of Huainan is definitely not an ordinary talent, let alone three times.He refused Huainan King's offer of a lot of money and would rather live in a melon shed. This person is not only talented, but also loyal to the court.At a young age, he already has the style of a high scholar.

All of a sudden, the way they looked at Liang Xiao changed a little, a little less conceited and a little more appreciative. A few girls started pointing and whispering, and their eyes became affectionate.

Dongfang Shuo smiled.He shook his head, a little helpless.Liu Ling's reaction exceeded his expectations, which surprised him.However, Liu Ling's utterance of these words in public was enough to clear Liang Xiao's suspicion of trafficking princes, so he didn't need to worry.

Liang Xiao secretly sighed, feeling a little guilty.Liu Ling did this to make him famous.But he already owed Liu Ling too much, the more Liu Ling did for him, the more uneasy he became.He stepped forward and stopped Liu Ling.

"My lord..."

"Why, can't bear it?" Liu Ling raised his eyebrows and glanced at Liang Xiao. There was playfulness and disappointment in his eyes. "Five hundred gold, I can't afford it. I want to discuss with you about a different way of cooperation. I'll pay the hundred gold first, and I'll give you [-]% of the profit every year. How about it?"

Liang Xiao was taken aback: "This...too much."

"That's my promise." Liu Ling smiled, took Liang Xiao's palm involuntarily, and hit it three times, "Papa papa!" After three times, Liu Ling laughed again: "Lend me ninety gold first." , I'm going to make a bet." Get on the horse, lightly kick the horse's belly, walk to the field, raise the whip in your hand and shake it.

The surrounding crowd immediately shut their mouths, and their eyes fell on Liu Ling.

"Your gentlemen live in Chang'an and have seen a lot of knowledge. You must have seen many martial arts competitions. However, today's competition is not something you can see every day. One of them is the son of my famous general Li Guang, who has practiced archery for generations. One is a young man from Wu Chu, born with a pair of ape arms, and he is proficient in the legendary shooting sound skills. They are all young heroes of my big man, how can this kind of competition be compared with ordinary competitions?"

The audience only knew that someone was going to compete and gathered around to watch the excitement. Some of them knew Li Jiao and felt that this competition should be interesting, but they didn't think too much about it, thinking that this was just an exhibition match for Li Jiao. There is no suspense about the outcome.Hearing what Liu Ling said, they knew that Liang Xiao's archery skills were no worse than Li Jiao's, and he also knew how to shoot with sound.

Although not everyone knows what the sound shooting skill is, but since it is a legend, it must not be bad.

An unremarkable, or one-sided match turned into an evenly matched matchup, and the excitement was immediately raised by more than one level.For a time, the enthusiasm of the audience was high.They cheered and discussed, and the sound attracted more audiences, and more tourists surrounded them.In a short while, it was surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, which was impenetrable.

Liu Ling rode lightly on his mount and galloped lightly along the crowd, his body undulating lightly following the steps of the mount, his fiery red cloak trembling like a ball of jumping fire.She raised her arms and shouted: "How can such a wonderful event be dull?"

This sentence immediately ignited the audience, countless people laughed loudly, and shouted in unison: "No!"

"To bet, to bet!"

"Haha, you must place a bet! I want to be the banker!"

Liang Xiao touched the palm of his hand and looked at the excited and inexplicably excited audience around him, dumbfounded.Why did this group of people get more excited when they heard about gambling than seeing their game? Even the little daughters-in-law and big girls were busy digging out their wallets, their eyes sparkling with excitement.This is too good a gamble.

Not to mention Liang Xiao, even Li Jiao felt helpless.This was originally a contest between him and Liang Xiao, but when Liu Ling came, he not only increased the bet, but also set up a dealership.Seeing Liu Ling arranging the game with ease, he unconsciously shrugged like Liang Xiao.

Liu Ling obviously did this kind of thing a lot. With a wave of his hand, someone spread out a seat on the ground, set up a bet on the spot, and accepted the bet.The odds she offered were all [-] to [-], but most people bet on Li Jiao to win, and only a few dozen people bet on Liang Xiao to win, and half of them were young girls of fifteen or sixteen years old. The amount of betting is also limited, about a dozen dollars, and the most is only one hundred dollars.Compared to the bet on Li Jiao, it was negligible.

Liu Ling walked back from the circle, leaned on the horse's back, and said to Liang Xiao with a smile: "You must win. If you lose, I will lose at least a hundred gold. At that time, I can deduct from your bonus. "

Liang Xiao frowned. "My lord, are you helping me or helping him? You put so much pressure on me, can I still shoot well?"

Liu Ling frowned: "If you really want to lose, it's okay. Come to me and be a servant. When you pay off the debt, when will you be free."

Liang Xiao became anxious when he heard this. "My lord, you are a bit dependent, when did we say that?"

"I'm still relying on you." Liu Ling giggled.Her eyes flashed, and she suddenly raised her voice. "Hmph, isn't this Xiu Cheng Zizhong? Why, you want to take a gamble?" While speaking, he rode his horse to meet him.

Liang Xiao followed Liu Ling's gaze, and saw a boy of twelve or thirteen years old at most, riding a black horse that was extremely handsome, followed by a dozen or so boys who could not be seen as kind.There were so many people around, they didn't get off their horses, they just rushed over. The people who were betting were so frightened that they quickly moved away, and several people fell to the ground, but they dared not speak out.

After hearing Liu Ling's words, Xiucheng Zizhong grinned: "I said why it's so lively. It turns out that the Lord Huainan set up a bet here. What are you betting on? I'll join in the fun."

Liu Ling recounted the bet, Xiu Cheng Zizhong took a look at Liang Xiao, turned around to discuss with a follower, and waved his hand. "I bet on Lijiao, a hundred gold."

There was an uproar.

Before this, the bets were several hundred dollars, and the most was only one or two golds. Xiucheng Zizhong was paid a hundred golds for a single move. If Li Jiao won, Liu Ling would pay him five hundred golds.It's a big bet.No one else is worth mentioning compared with this bet.

Even Liu Ling was surprised. "Xiucheng Zizhong, isn't this a bit too big?"

"Don't you dare to take it?" Xiu Chengzi cocked his mouth. "If you don't dare to pick it up, don't sit in the manor. Get out of the way, I'll come."

"Wait." Liu Ling stretched out his hand to stop Xiu Cheng Zizhong, looked back at Liang Xiao, and chuckled, "I'll take it."
