Demon of the Three Kingdoms

() When dusk was approaching, Cao Cao and Lu Rui, under the protection of a group of guards, took a carriage to one of the best restaurants in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Luoyang Baixianglou. Luoyang Baixianglou is located on the main road outside Luoyang City. In the most prosperous commercial street in Luoyang, when you leave the imperial city, go straight for about a mile, and you will find Baixianglou. Baixianglou was originally a place where the emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty used fireworks to monitor his officials. Unfortunately, the imperial power of the Han Dynasty has now fallen and has become a dignitary. place of recreation.

After the groom parked the carriage, Cao Cao and Lu Rui got out of the carriage, and what came into view was a large door plate, which was written in platinum: "Mengde of the Cao family in Qiaojun, Han Dynasty, Luoyang invites friends from all over the world" in big characters, which was written in Chinese history. The most famous fight for wealth in the world is Shi Chong's fight for wealth in the Western Jin Dynasty, but since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Chinese families have begun to fight for wealth.It can be seen from the banquet guests.The house number is meaningful in the banquet at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. It first shows the identity of the host and the reason for the guests. Secondly, the house number is funded by the banquet party, and the restaurant is responsible for the arrangement. After the dinner, the house number does not belong to the banquet party. Instead, it belongs to the restaurant to show the taste and grade of the restaurant. A certain noble person has come to this restaurant, which is a living sign!

When Cao Cao saw the house number, he shouted in his heart, Cao Zhong, Cao Zhong, you prodigal, hold a banquet, what are you doing with such a big house number?This is my Cao Mengde's money. I really don't feel bad if I don't spend my own money. In fact, Cao Ren has divided the land and family property with me, so I pay my own money. Can Lao Cao not feel bad?It was decided immediately, go back and deal with Cao Zhong properly!

But Cao Cao couldn't show it now. After getting off the carriage, Cao Cao greeted everyone with a smile, then picked up Lu Rui, and went straight to the best box in Baixianglou, Tianxiang Pavilion. At this time, Cao Cao's friend Yuan Shao and others has arrived.

Cao Cao carried Lu Rui up to the attic, and every time he went up, Cao Cao's expression changed. At first, they were going to kill themselves. They originally booked Baixiang Tower, but Cao Cao thought it was At first, a group of people ate with themselves.But when he saw the guests, Cao Cao was dumbfounded. Nainai, Yuan Benchu ​​actually invited all the yamen servants who made five-color sticks in the yamen when he was the captain of the north in Luoyang. The flowing water feast invited everyone, as long as they had something to do with Cao Cao, Yuan Shao invited all the people in Luoyang, but those who were not of status dined downstairs, and the children of the aristocratic family lived upstairs.

Yuan Shao is the leader of this group of dandies, of course he knew that Cao Cao was killed this time, and he also replied: "Meng De, I haven't seen you for a long time, Meng De has become more and more energetic."

Lu Rui jumped down at this time, pulled Yuan Shao and said, "Uncle Benchu, Rui'er is here too."

Yuan Shao looked at the lovely Lu Rui, nodded and said: "Haha, Ruier is here too, okay, Meng De, Ruier, take a seat, we are ready to start the banquet."

As soon as Yuan Shao's words fell, Cao Cao took Lu Rui to the main seat. Tianxiang Pavilion is the best box on the third floor of Baixianglou.At this time, the downstairs of Baixianglou was full of traffic, some were leading horses, some were pulling big yellow oxen, some were dragging big yellow dogs, some were carrying tiger skins, some were wrapped in fox skins, and they carried all kinds of things. There are many servants with rare treasures. Of course, the most beautiful scenery is in a wing room on the right. There are many beautiful young maids. These are not businessmen, or the service staff of Baixiang Building. , but gambling funds, which are the chips used by the children of the big Han family to gamble, and Lu Rui came here for these things.

The dinner party will start soon, Baixianglou has a variety of dishes, golden quail, saliva chicken, python soup, wild wolf bones, roasted whole lamb, a hundred birds and phoenixes, etc., each dish is the most powerful chef today The cooking is so delicious that it makes people salivate. Lu Rui looked at so many rich dishes, and he didn't care about his image, so he ate like crazy. He didn't stop until he could hold on. Everyone drank happily, and after about an hour, the food was finished, and the main event began, gambling and entertainment, the most important part of the gathering of the children of the Eastern Han Dynasty!

Before the entertainment started, Yuan Shao first thanked Cao Cao for his hospitality on behalf of the guests, and at the same time said some words of appreciation to Cao Cao, which won the applause of the guests.Yuan Shao is tall, burly, handsome and extraordinary. At the same time, he speaks with a magnetic tone and looks like a man. Compared with Cao Cao's appearance, Yuan Shao is tall and handsome, and Cao Cao is short and fat. Become friends, people with two extremes can often cherish each other!

Soon the gambling game began. There were many ways to gamble in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, such as cockfighting, throwing pots, shooting arrows, sharing money, six games, etc. Under Yuan Shao's hint, everyone began to attack Cao Cao in turn. Although Cao Cao He is also a big dude, but he loses battles for a long time, loses more and wins less. After all, he has not engaged in these activities for a long time, and Yuan Shao and his gang have come prepared. Everyone uses their own specialties to fight against Cao Cao. This is the result.

Soon, Cao Cao lost half of the belongings he brought. This time, Cao Cao was in pain. Originally, the banquet cost him a month's pocket money, plus the lost money, hey, this time What a waste of money.Yuan Shao looked at Cao Cao from the side, and then said with a smile: "Meng De, you were one of our dandies back then, but your performance today is not up to par."

Cao Cao cursed inwardly, he was not harmed by you at first, hum, I will definitely find a chance to take revenge.Cao Cao smiled and said: "Ben Chu was joking, I used to be too young to do anything, so I made Ben Chu laugh at everyone."

At this moment, Lu Rui made a fuss and said, "Father Zhong, I want to play too, I want to play too, I want to win something!"

When Lu Rui made a fuss, everyone looked at Lu Rui. Yuan Shao looked at Lu Rui and smiled and said, "Ruier, you want to play too? Do you have a bet? What are you betting on?"

Hearing this, Lu Rui took out a bag of things from his bosom, poured it out and said, "Yes, Uncle Benchu, here are my jade pendants from the Cao family, the Ye Mingzhu, the Warring States dagger, and the fine emerald necklace." Afterwards, Lu Rui poured out all the things he brought from the small bag, and Yuan Shao and others just looked at Lu Rui with a smile.

Yuan Shao touched his nose, and then said: "Okay, since Rui'er wants to play with Uncle Benchu, I can play with you, Ruier, what do you want to play, choose one, and make a bet, Uncle Benchu Play a game with you."

Lu Rui rolled his eyes, then took out a jade pendant and said, "Uncle Benchu, this is a jade pendant given to me by my great-grandfather Cao Song. I will take it out as a bet, and I will bet with you!"

When Yuan Shao heard this, he burst out laughing, not only Yuan Shao, but also the rest of the guests, throwing pots, Lu Rui actually wanted to play throwing pots with Yuan Shao, can Lu Rui be able to throw short arrows?Throwing Pot is a popular game in the Eastern Han Dynasty. It is to place a pot in front of a certain distance, and then personally throw short arrows behind the red line. The one that enters the pitching pot shall prevail. Among the three short arrows, the one who hits the most is the winner. In the event of a tie , extend the distance, and then use three short arrows as the standard until the winner is determined.The short arrows used in the throwing pot are iron arrowheads with a cylindrical body made of bamboo and peacock feathers on the tail.In order to increase the difficulty of the game, the arrows of short arrows are generally relatively large and heavy. Children over three years old do not have enough strength and the throwing distance is limited. Yuan Shao is not bullying children!

Yuan Shao looked at Lu Rui, then smiled and said: "Ruier, you are still young, I will compete with you in throwing pots, and I am suspected of bullying you, in this way, Ruier can shorten the distance by half, and compete with me, everyone thinks How?" Everyone agreed.

When Lu Rui heard it, Yuan Shao really had a good face. In order not to let others say that he bullied the child, he gave Lu Rui half the distance. Hehe, Yuan Benchu, since you let me, don't blame me. Lu Rui cupped his hands and said: " Thank you, Uncle Benchu!"

Yuan Shao looked at the crowd, then took out a jade pendant, and said, "Rui'er, I will take this as a bet, and I will throw a pot with you." Yuan Shu's eyes lit up when he saw the jade pendant that Yuan Shao took out, it belonged to the Yuan family. Young Patriarch Yupei, it seems that Yuan Shao was a little drunk, or too confident, so he took out the Young Patriarch Yupei.

When Han Fu saw it, he immediately took out a contract and said, "I'll take out a pair of Jade Ruyi and bet on Ben Chu to win!" Han Fu, a disciple of the Yuan family, immediately came out to support Yuan Shao.Afterwards, Yuan Shu took out a tiger skin, Xu You took out a dagger, and the rest of the aristocratic children also took out a lot of treasures, betting on Yuan Shao to win, of course no one supported Lu Rui.

Yuan Shao looked at the bet he had placed on himself, then glanced at Cao Cao and said, "Meng De?"

Cao Cao said without changing his face: "In this case, I will take out a bloody horse to bet on Rui'er's victory!" Cao Cao's servants brought a bloody horse as soon as Cao Cao finished speaking. Cao now doesn't have any hopes in his heart anymore. Since he has lost so much, he will lose completely this time. Anyway, it is good for Lu Rui to be happy. The most important thing is to be happy. Today he was completely slaughtered. Hey, Cao Mengde, The big playboy back then also has today.

Gambling bets are very particular. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, proving one's reputation was not how much one bet, but the support of others, which is what later generations called betting.If one party loses, the items that others bet on him will be obtained by the winning party.

Seeing that the bets were all on stage, Yuan Shao drew lots with Lu Rui to see who would throw first. In the end, Yuan Shao got the right to throw, and Lu Rui chose the way to compete. Lu Rui chose each person to throw once to enter The one with the most short arrows in the pot wins.

After deciding on the order and method of throwing, Yuan Shao came to the center of the field, and then began to throw. Yuan Shao picked up a short arrow, and then threw it, but the throw was crooked. Everyone laughed, and Yuan Shao's posture was clear. It was Lu Rui who deliberately missed the shot.

Yuan Shao looked at all the guests, then showed a contemptuous expression, and threw two consecutive short arrows into the throwing pot, which attracted cheers from the guests. Yuan Shao then looked at Lu Rui upstairs, and said loudly: : "Rui'er, Uncle has finished voting!"

Hearing Yuan Shao's words, Lu Rui also yelled: "Well, it's my turn." Then he ordered Cao Zhong to hug him and go downstairs. When he got to the bottom of the building, Lu Rui jumped down and ran crookedly. On the way to the red line, Lu Rui accidentally fell down halfway, causing the guests to roar with laughter. Yuan Shao laughed when he saw it and said, "Ruier, slow down, slow down." Covering his face, he shook his head, lost, lost again, what a sweaty horse!Thinking of this, Cao Cao touched his chest.

After Lu Rui stumbled to the red line, although Yuan Shao had reduced the distance by half, there was still a distance of ten meters from the throwing pot. It was still very difficult for a child of three or four years old. All the guests looked at Lu Rui. Rui, let's see how this kid lost to Yuan Shao.

Lu Rui stabilized his figure, then picked up the three short arrows, Lu Rui threw it, ding, ding, ding three times, the three short arrows entered the pitching pot at once, there was silence, the restaurant was silent, You could hear a needle drop on the ground, and even the waiter stopped, this is it?invested?I don't have vertigo?Lu Rui actually made a shot, and all three short arrows went in. In this competition, Lu Rui won!

After Lu Rui saw that he made the bet, he immediately ran to the betting table, and then began to collect the bets. Lu Rui took all the bets that Yuan Shao won, and put them in his arms. , you are not going to die soon, help this young master collect things!"

When Cao Zhong heard Lu Rui's words, he came to his senses, and flatteringly said, "Here we come, young master!" Then he brought a group of servants forward to collect the bet.Lu Rui smiled and held some of the most expensive things, like Yuan Shao's jade pendant!

When Cao Cao saw it, he couldn't help laughing, "Rui'er, you are so good, you actually won. Cao Cao didn't care about winning or losing a hard-earned BMW, but with this breath, you must fight, Lu Rui will give yourself a face." , let out a bad breath!Really comfortable!The people on Yuan Shao's side showed ugly expressions on their faces. Yuan Shao was full of regret. His young master Yu Pei actually lost. How can he explain this when he goes back?The rest of the people sighed helplessly, originally thought that if they won the hard-earned BMW, Yuan Shao would convert it into silver and distribute it to everyone, but now they have lost everything they bet on.

Lu Rui happily went upstairs with his things and sat back beside Cao Cao. Yuan Shao and the others also sat back in their seats, preparing for the next game.Yuan Shu stared at the Yupei, the young master of the Yuan family, who was playing in Lu Rui's hands. Yuan Shu smiled and said, "Ruier, in this way, Uncle Gonglu will also play a game with you. The method of the game is up to you. Can you get the bet?" Is that jade pendant in your hand a bet?"

Lu Rui held the jade pendant in both hands, then looked at Cao Cao, then at Yuan Shu.Cao Cao turned his head aside, this kind of matter has nothing to do with him, Cao Mengde, the child's affairs should be handled by the child, it is also a happy thing to embarrass Ben Chu.Lu Rui touched the jade pendant, showing a look of reluctance.

Yuan Shao glanced at Yuan Shu from the side, and then said seriously: "Roadway?" There was dissatisfaction with Yuan Shu in his eyes. He was the young master of the Yuan family, the future heir, and Yuan Shu dared to challenge his authority?

Yuan Shu took a look at Yuan Shao, waved his hands and said, "No need, brother, it's better to compete with Ruier." After finishing speaking, he sat back in his seat. Yuan Shu who proclaimed himself emperor?That Yuan Shu who was called an idiot in the era of the Three Kingdoms, where heroes were born in large numbers?The city is so deep, it seems that there are discrepancies in the historical records.

After Yuan Shao scolded Yuan Hou, Yuan Shao turned around, smiled and said to Lu Rui: "Ruier, look, the jade pendant that Uncle lost to you is very important to Uncle. Uncle wants to redeem it. What do you want, Ruier?" ? Or give you a piece of jade pendant?"

Seeing Yuan Shao's longing expression, Cao Cao secretly laughed in his heart, Ben Chu, Ben Chu, let's see how you end up this time?If Rui'er doesn't return it to you, you can't compete with a child for something, and this is at a banquet that everyone in Luoyang pays attention to.

Lu Rui frowned, looked at Yuan Shao, as if he was about to cry, and said to Yuan Shao, "Uncle Benchu, but Rui'er really likes this jade pendant." After speaking, he pouted .

Yuan Shao was really in a hurry at this time, if Lu Rui was about to cry, then Yuan Shao's face would not look good. He lost the jade pendant, and even fought with a child, made him cry, and then snatched it back?Then Yuan Shao would be ashamed and thrown at home, and his young patriarch's jade pendant must be redeemed, otherwise the old man in the family would find out, and it would be a disaster.

Thinking of this, Yuan Shao said with a smile on his face: "Rui'er, look, this is just a jade pendant. If you return it to Uncle Benchu, Uncle can give you all the things he brought today." With a wave, Yuan Shao's butler handed over a booklet, which was all the bet Yuan Shao brought today.

Lu Rui looked at the brochure, and then said helplessly: "In this case, well, a gentleman does not take what others like. Uncle Benchu, I will return the jade pendant to you, and I will take these bets away."

Lu Rui took the booklet, handed it to Cao Zhong and said, "Cao Zhong?" Cao Zhong immediately took the booklet and said, "Understood, young master." Then he took people downstairs to count the bets.

When Yuan Shao saw Lu Rui like this, he immediately understood that he had been tricked by Lu Rui. Yay, all his bets were gone, but Yuan Shao couldn't get angry, so he could only say: "Thank you, Ruier." Then he took it back. jade pendant.

Cao Cao watched from the side, not daring to laugh out loud, so he could only hold back, but he didn't know how comfortable he was, no matter how much he lost today, it was worth it.Yuan Shao had no more bets, and the gamble at the banquet was meaningless, and then Lu Rui and the other children of the family continued to gamble until midnight, when Lu Rui and the children of the family would win, and Lu Rui lost in the small bag. Treasures, but also won a lot of things.

The next day, at Han Fu's residence, the housekeeper looked at Han Fu, and then stammered, "Master, the Ye Mingzhu that I won yesterday is a fake."

When Han Fu heard it, he immediately jumped up and said, "What?" Then he took a look at the Pearl of the Night, and it turned out to be a fake.

At the same time, the children of other aristocratic families also discovered that the things they won back from Lu Rui were fakes. These things were not treasures, but fakes that Lu Rui bought when he was shopping in Hulaoguan. False under the bet, but now it is a foregone conclusion, and there is no way to change it. You can't come to Lu Rui and say that your things are fake, and give us the real things.

Only the dandy of the aristocratic family suffered from this dumb loss. Everyone gritted their teeth at Lu Rui, and they all uttered a voice: Lu Rui, liar, big liar!At this time, Lu Rui was in Cao's mansion, happily counting the rare treasures he got back. This time, he made a lot of money!
