Prosperous Tang Dynasty

Chapter 8 The First Pot of Gold
"Old Ji is indeed old Ji, he has hidden such a secret killing move, and I, including Zhou, who is playing chess, have not seen it!" Some people shook their heads in admiration.

Those who placed bets exclaimed even more, especially those who bet on Ji Lao winning from the very beginning.Originally, they thought that Ji Lao was doomed to lose, but now that Ji Lao's incomparably clever trick was played, the situation was instantly reversed, and they immediately saw the hope of victory again.

Of course, even if Elder Ji played this clever dark chess move to turn around the impending disastrous defeat, in the whole chess game, Elder Zhou still has the upper hand, and it is still unknown who will win.

The odds of the two also changed immediately, from the original [-] to [-], Mr. Zhou directly increased to [-] to [-].Ji Lao's [-] to [-] was directly reduced to [-] to [-], which was a big difference.

However, just relying on Ji Lao's sudden and secret move to instantly reverse the situation, even if he is still at a disadvantage, there are still many people who are willing to buy Ji Lao to win.It's just that in a short period of time, the original ten times the odds directly dropped to double. How many people regretted that they didn't believe in Ji Lao's chess ability.

"Brother's vision is vicious!" Li Fei opened the fan and shook it twice, with a proud and self-satisfied expression.

"Damn, what a disgusting expression, it seems to hit him!" Although Cao Xiaozhong was also excited at this time, but seeing Li Fei's expression and the fact that he had a lot of resentment towards Li Fei, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that Li Fei deserved a beating. .

The game between Zhou Lao and Ji Lao entered into a fierce fight again.

Zhou Lao desperately maintained the upper hand and suppressed Ji Lao's chess position, while Ji Lao fought back desperately, trying to counter-kill Zhou Lao's Dalong to turn defeat into victory.

The chess strength of the two is actually on par, but Ji Lao secretly made a move, reversed the decline, took the lead, and slowly countered Zhou Lao from the disadvantaged position, and brought the game back bit by bit. In the end, Ji Lao turned back Suppressed Zhou Lao to the disadvantage.

The moment Zhou Lao was suppressed to the disadvantage, there was an uproar in the chess building again.

"Old Zhou loses to Old Ji, Dalong is about to be killed, and Old Ji is going to turn defeat into victory!"

"Ji Lao deserves to be Ji Lao. He has been famous for many years and has always been our number one chess player in Xunyang County. Even the masters invited by Chang'an City may not necessarily be his opponents!"

Everyone sighed, some were excited, and some wailed.

After all, just now seeing that Elder Ji was about to lose, there were many people who bet on Elder Zhou's victory. Now that Elder Ji is about to turn defeat into victory, how could they not beat their chests.You know, when you bet on Ji Lao, the highest odds are ten to one hundred, a full ten times.

Now the odds have changed again, Zhou Laoshi pays [-], Ji Laoshi pays [-].

Just now, Ji Lao just made a secret move. He just turned the tide but is still at a disadvantage. So many people are willing to bet on Ji Lao to win. Now Ji Lao has the upper hand, and all the gamblers are stunned. After falling again and again, it has fallen to the point where ten loses three, but it is good to earn three.

The gambling table was crowded with people, scrambling to place bets, for fear that the odds would drop again later.

There are so many people who came to bet on Mr. Ji to win, and the gambler is not a fool. If the odds drop further, they will directly drop to [-] to [-], which is inversely proportional to the [-] to [-] not long ago.

Many people scolded the gambler for being too unscrupulous, and the odds dropped so quickly that no one would be allowed to place a bet.

Having said that, there are still many people who believe that Ji Lao will definitely win, and it is good to earn one tael for ten taels.

The only one who was calm was Li Fei, holding a fan, with a faint smile on his face, looking like a very tall man.

Cao Xiaozhong's face was flushed with excitement, but with those two panda eyes, the picture is not so beautiful.Seeing Li Fei's 'disgusting' performance, Cao Xiaopang felt as uncomfortable as eating a fly.I always feel that Li Fei always deserves to be beaten so impulsively, I really want to jump directly at Li Fei and punch Li Fei's Xiaobai face.

Damn, a mere son-in-law from the Lin family hasn't gotten a kick yet, so what do you get?Cao Xiaozhong cursed in his heart.

As Ji Lao's last chess piece fell, the chess pieces in Zhou Lao's hand fell off the chessboard, and Ji Lao won.

In the same place, it also announced that Desheng Chess House failed to challenge Chen's Chess House, and Chen's Chess House kept their position as the No. [-] chess house in Xunyang County.

The people who watched the chess cheered and wailed, but no one lacked quality and directly cursed Zhou Lao who lost chess, even if their money was lost because of Zhou Lao's loss.

At least, this is an absolutely wonderful game of chess. Both Zhou Lao and Ji Lao have proved their chess prowess through this game.

Zeng A Niu excitedly went to collect the money he won and handed it to Li Fei.The principal of 11 taels, plus the winning of 110 taels, was a total of 120 taels. Twelve large silver ingots plus one small silver ingot made her waist a whole circle bigger in her arms.

"Come on, Niu, you deserve this." Li Fei generously handed over one ingot of ten taels of silver and one ingot of one tael of silver to Zeng Aniu.

"My lord, this——" Zeng A Niu was not stupid, he knew what Li Fei meant, he was a little embarrassed and didn't want to accept it, and felt that the large and small silver ingots in his hand were a little hot.

When placing the bet, he was still questioning Li Fei, feeling sorry for his silver taels, and fearing that Li Fei would lose, but now Li Fei won the money, and directly gave him one ingot of ten taels and one ingot of one tael, which was equivalent to Li Fei's money. Fei borrowed one tael of silver from him and helped him win ten taels of silver. If he lost, the one tael of silver would also be counted on Li Fei's head.

More importantly, he knew very well that he was Li Fei's Xiao Si in name, but he would listen to Lin Xiancheng's words more than Li Fei's.

To put it more clearly, he was deliberately placed by Li Fei's side by Lin Xiancheng for the purpose of monitoring Li Fei.He is not Li Fei's person, how dare he take such a big favor from Li Fei.

Li Fei seemed to see the entanglement in Zeng Aniu's heart, and said indifferently: "You can take it if you tell me, I'm not stupid, I know that my father-in-law asked you to follow me, so he can watch me by the way." Meaning, when your father-in-law asks about you, you can report it as you like, and you don’t have to hide a single word from me. As long as you do your best to do what I usually tell you, uncle, I will never treat you badly. .”

Ah Niu was very moved, ten taels of silver is not a small amount, he used to only spend eight hundred coins a month, but the master only gave him one tael when he was transferred to my uncle, but on the first day with my uncle, my uncle rewarded him He was ten taels, although one or two of them belonged to him, but there were still nine taels, and it was still under the condition that the son-in-law knew that he was deliberately placed by the master to monitor him.

Ah Niu's touch is exactly what Li Fei needs. To buy someone up, you need to take your time. It's human nature, and only by comparing your heart with your heart can you make a person give up.

He gave Zeng A Niu the principal of 11 taels, but he still had 110 taels in hand.

His face couldn't help being proud, his brother earned 100 taels on the first day he went out, the Lin family wanted him to be willing to eat his wife's soft food, obediently just be a door-to-door son-in-law, he wanted to be beautiful, and his brother would turn himself into the master one day.

Open the fan and shake it a couple of times, the picture is extremely flamboyant.

On the other side, Cao Xiaozhong was holding the won 200 taels of silver in his clothes, smiling from ear to ear, and staring at Li Fei a little more kindly than before.However, when he saw the extremely coquettish scene of Li Fei, he was so disgusted that he wanted to vomit, and felt that Li Fei still deserved a beating, and he would not be able to get back if he didn't.

He decided to trouble Li Fei again as soon as he left the gate of the chess building.
