A knife in love

Chapter 1289

The guards, eunuchs and palace maids were caught by the emperor, and they all trembled like chaff in fright. When they heard the emperor's words, their expressions changed drastically. The next is even more frightening.

Shou Nanshan just caressed the Pai Gow in his hand, he was very happy.It's just that everyone was kneeling on the ground trembling all over, and no one dared to stand up.Knowing everyone's intentions, he said with a smile: "Today we are just gambling, regardless of the monarch or minister. I forgive you for your innocence. But if you don't gamble with me, then you are guilty!"

Everyone listened to the emperor's seriousness, and saw that the guard who was caught by the emperor on the spot a few days ago was standing beside him, and he was not killed by the emperor, so they were less frightened and stood up tremblingly.Shou Nanshan kept urging, and the guards and eunuchs pushed each other to stand beside the table.Several palace maids were frightened, and they dared not step forward, instead they took a few steps back.Shou Nanshan said with a smile: "Forget about you girls, just keep the monthly money. If your hands are itchy, you might as well play leaf cards with those old court ladies, or play with the queen mother, empress and noble concubines , maybe it will make them happy, and if I reward you with a few taels of silver, wouldn't it be a fortune?"

At first the maids thought the emperor was speaking ironically, so they knelt down and kowtowed again in fright.Shou Nanshan grinningly told them to leave quickly so as not to hinder everyone from playing Pai Gow.Seeing that the emperor didn't look angry, several court ladies stood up in a hurry and walked out slowly.It wasn't until he reached the courtyard and saw that there were no Jinyiwei and Dongchang eunuchs guarding him, that he realized that the emperor was not talking ironically.The maids ran wildly, feeling lucky in their hearts.

After the maids left, Shounan Mountain started the gambling.At the beginning, all the guards and eunuchs didn't dare to run rampant, and each of them was cautious, only betting a few pennies each time.Even if the number of points on the card is higher than that of Shou Nanshan, he still pretends to lose.Many people desperately want to put the four cards of Pai Gow to the smallest point, and dare not win Shou Nanshan's money.In the end, Shou Nanshan was furious, and he roared, "What's the difference between playing cards like this and not playing cards? If you still lose money on purpose and don't want to bet with me with all your strength, I will order Jin Yiwei to arrest you all and send you all to jail." , condemn you to the crime of disrespect!"

Seeing that the emperor was angry, everyone dared not pretend to bet with Shou Nanshan.Shou Nanshan's "Longyan Joy" gambled with everyone all night, and both sides won and lost.After finally making an appointment to gamble again in the future, Shou Nanshan happily returned to the bedroom.From then on, Shou Nanshan gambled with guards and eunuchs for fun when he had nothing to do.From Pai Gow, dice to leaf cards, he had a great time playing.But Shou Nanshan was very good at gambling, when he gambled with everyone, although he would scold his mother if he lost in a hurry, he never blamed the guards and eunuchs for it.Moreover, he is skilled in gambling, but he never cheats to win money when he gambles.He once said to everyone that the technique of cheating is only used to deal with those bad guys who make trouble in the gambling game, and it is a way to fight poison with fire.If everyone played cards and gambled with an open mind, there would be no need to use such shady means to win money.

Later, Shou Nanshan was conspired in Nanjing and almost died. After returning to the capital, in order to find out who was behind it, he pretended to be dead and sneaked out of the palace by himself.He originally wanted to find out who killed him, but after living in seclusion for a few months, he felt free and at ease. He didn't even want to go back to the palace, and his desire to arrest his murderer became much weaker. .Later, he simply went to the imperial mausoleum and became an ordinary gardener.In the imperial mausoleum, he gambled with the guards and craftsmen every day for fun, and his life was relaxed and happy.From then on, he never wanted to return to the palace, whoever liked to be the emperor was up to him, anyway, he himself never wanted to be the emperor again.

After Shou Nanshan became obsessed with gambling, although he never cheated or cheated others, he always carried three sets of Pai Gow and more than [-] dice with him.He didn't make this preparation purely for cheating, but because he thought that once he met someone like him one day, he could take out Pai Gow and dice to gamble at any time.In addition, if the other party cheats, you have to fight poison with fire, and you have to win all the money from the other party.

Just now shopkeeper Feng asked his staff to go to the casino to borrow Pai Gow and dice. Shou Nanshan held the Pai Gow and dice in his hand, and immediately knew that someone had tampered with them.If no one in the gambling game cheated, he would naturally not try to fight back.It's just that Shou Nanshan observed the words and expressions, and immediately found that shopkeeper Hu was different from everyone else, with cunning eyes, and the way he touched the cards and weighed the dice in his hands, he was clearly a master of gambling.Later, when shopkeeper Hu spoke with Shou Nanshan, there was a hidden edge in the words, why couldn't Shou Nanshan hear it?He thought to himself, you bastard is obviously trying to yin me.Hmph, if I don't use some means to punish me today, I'll teach you to underestimate me!Therefore, Shou Nanshan made up his mind that he must give shopkeeper Hu some color.It's just that shopkeeper Hu has never done anything, and Shou Nanshan has nothing to do with him.It wasn't until Shopkeeper Hu finally couldn't bear to make a move that Shou Nanshan resorted to some tricks to change the cards in his hand.Although there were people all around, but Shou Nanshan's technique of changing cards was extremely skillful, and it was almost to the extreme, and no one noticed.

Shopkeeper Hu didn't know the origin of Shou Nanshan's identity, and couldn't figure out how he changed the mahjong tiles in his hand.But they don't know that Shou Nanshan has a lot of Pai Gow and dice, if he wants to play tricks, everyone will never see it.Therefore, shopkeeper Hu was extremely frightened, and secretly feared Shou Nanshan.

The dealer dealt the cards again.Shopkeeper Hu knew that Shou Nanshan was after him, so he didn't dare to bet, he just watched from the sidelines.This time Shou Nanshan lost another three qian, his face became unsightly, and he muttered cursing in his mouth.Seeing him like this, everyone felt amused.Everyone wins and loses in this fight. Compared with the one just now, it is a little flat.

Li Qiufeng stood in the crowd and watched them gamble, quite bored.At this moment, Zhang Yong came around, cupped his hands towards Li Qiufeng, and said: "My lord, please. Can I take a step to speak?"

Li Qiufeng was taken aback, seeing that Zhang Yong's face was calm and harmless, so he returned the salute and nodded.Zhang Yong turned around and walked out of the store, and Li Qiufeng followed.The two left the inn one after the other, but saw a grass field in the southeast corner of the yard, with stone tables and benches in the middle.Zhang Yong made a "please" gesture to Li Qiufeng, and then walked to the grass.

The two arrived at the stone table and sat opposite each other on both sides of the stone table.Zhang Yong said: "After we parted that night, I heard the master talk about the young master. I heard that the young master defeated Liu Zongyan and Yang Zhenzhong's two masters, and I admired him so much. I offended you so much that night, I hope you will forgive me. "

Li Qiufeng didn't expect Zhang Yong to apologize to himself as soon as he opened his mouth, but it was quite unexpected, and he hurriedly humbly said a few words.Zhang Yong went on to say: "Liu Zongyan was powerful in the world decades ago, and I also fought against this person in Nanjing more than ten years ago. His swordsmanship is extremely strange and unpredictable. However, his internal strength is a little weak, so it is inevitable that he will fight with him." His martial arts were discounted. When the old man fought with this person, he only felt that his martial arts were really good, and he could be called a top master in the Jianghu. However, compared with the legend, there are many discrepancies This person is as famous as Mr. Murong, but from the point of view of this old man, if Liu Zongyan fights swords with Mr. Murong, it may be hard to tell the winner within [-] moves, but after [-] moves, Liu Zongyan will lose. It is rare to be able to sustain another [-] moves, if you don't pull away, you will definitely be injured by Mr. Murong's sword."

When Zhang Yong said this, he paused for a while, and then continued: "My master said that the young master fought against Liu Zongyan many times, and finally defeated this person. I really can't figure out what kind of martial arts the young master used to be able to defeat this The old man didn't want to spy on the young master's martial arts family, but he was really puzzled, so he wanted to ask the young master for advice."

Hearing Zhang Yong's words, Li Qiufeng's heart was clear.It must be known that those who study martial arts are very interested in martial arts masters.Especially when martial arts has been practiced to the level of Zhang Yong, there are few enemies in the world.At this time, if you know that there are other martial arts masters who can compete with you, you must inquire about the other party's situation clearly.Zhang Yong fought against Liu Sheng Zongyan in Nanjing, and found out that this person's martial arts are not weak.He met Li Qiufeng the day before yesterday, although he didn't kill Li Qiufeng, he knew that in terms of martial arts, Li Qiufeng was definitely not Liu Shengzongyan's opponent.But listening to Shou Nanshan's story about the imperial tomb, Liu Shengzongyan was defeated by Li Qiufeng, this made Zhang Yonghao very puzzled, so he must ask to understand.Otherwise, if this question haunts him, I'm afraid he won't be able to eat or sleep well anymore.
