"That swordsman from the Western Region has been stealing the show recently, and the underground gambling table is getting bigger and bigger.
From the initial bet on who can defeat him, it has now been broken down into how many steps the challenger will fall before, and how many moves the two will use...
We got news that this person will leave the Fourth Town of Anbei in a few days.
So, are you interested in defeating him?
Then we will win a lot of money."
Li Ping'an was silent for a moment, "Isn't it too pushy?"
"Why don't you just cover your face when the time comes?" Ma Sanniang said nonchalantly.
Li Ping'an: "But my principles..."
"The stakes are 40 and 60!"
"It's done!"
...........
"Hurry up! The market closes in the last half hour, so hurry up if you want to bet."
A man in a green shirt shouted loudly.
As soon as I finished shouting, someone shouted for tea.
The man hurriedly ran down.
The casino upstairs and the tea shop downstairs complement each other.
There are probably more than 200 gambling houses in the four towns of Anbei. There are restaurants, tea shops, brothels, etc. that are all gambling venues.
"Second brother, haven't you decided yet? That swordsman from the Western Regions will definitely win, there's no need to think about it."
Liu Er was hanging on a weed and looking at the two cards in his hand in embarrassment.
The swordsman of the Western Regions has become a victorious general.
But this time Ma Sanniang from Li Chun Yuan bet a large sum of money on the defeat of the Western Region Swordsman.
Ma Sanniang never fights an uncertain battle.
Liu Er suspected that there was something fishy about it, so he hesitated to make a decision.
At this moment, footsteps sounded.
Li Ping'an walked up.
Liu Er was slightly surprised when he saw him, "Blind man, why are you here to gamble?"
Li Pingan put down the bag in his hand, "The dates in the tree in the yard were ripe, and I happened to pass by, so I brought some to my second brother.
I paid for the meal last time when I came to my rescue, but I haven’t even thanked my second brother yet.”
"Little things, little things!"
Liu Er waved his hand and suddenly thought of something again.
Hey, by the way, how do you know Boss Wang from Wang Family Bank?"
Li Pingan said casually: "Boss Wang likes my music, that's all."
Liu Er nodded in sudden realization.
The last time Wang Shan paid back money for Li Pingan, he thought Li Pingan had something to do with Wang Shan.
"You're here just in time, blind man. Can you help me see who will win my bet?"
Liu Er was really confused, so he casually asked Li Pingan what to say.
"Gambling is essentially a risky game, with a 50/50 probability. Instead of worrying about it, it's better to leave it to fate."
"How to pay?" Liu Er asked.
Li Ping'an stretched out a hand and grasped the sign in Liu Er's right hand.
After Li Ping'an left the teahouse, Liu Er came back to his senses and looked at the sign in his hand, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
.............
Thousands of thunders fell, and rain came from thousands of peaks.
Wang Yi looked at the heavy rain falling outside and said, "Dad, it's raining so heavily. Can I not go to Mr. Li's house to learn Erhu today?"
"No!" Wang Shan refused.
"Dad, I'll just take a day off." Wang Yi begged,
"no!"
Wang Yi knew that he could not persuade his father, and felt helpless.
Of course he is not afraid of the pouring rain. Today is the last day of the Western Region Swordsman in the four towns of Anbei.
In every previous game, Wang Yi never failed.
All told, there were more than a hundred enemies defeated by the swordsmen from the Western Regions.
And today, it is rumored that a mysterious master will take action.
It is said that the numbers in underground gambling houses are already astronomical.
Of course Wang Yi didn't want to miss such a wonderful decisive battle.
But it happened that today, he was going to learn Lao Shizi's erhu.
Wang Yi understands his father’s temper very well and knows exactly what he wants.
Even nine oxen could not bring him back from what he had decided.
Helpless, Wang Yi had no choice but to brave the heavy rain and come to Li Ping'an's courtyard.
There is a small and exquisite heater placed in the house.
In front of the fireplace, the old cow was lazily looking at the firewood in the stove.
A large piece of firewood was burning cracklingly, and the room was filled with the aroma of meat and pine.
Alia was sitting on a futon, so comfortable that she seemed to be about to fall asleep.
When she has nothing to do, she will also learn erhu with Li Pingan.
"Wake up."
Li Pingan knocked on Alia's head.
Wang Yi sat down on the futon with despair, his eyes full of longing for the outside world.
The long sound of the erhu made the lights sway.
When the wind blows, the treetops sway.
Rainwater flows down the eaves of the courtyard.
In the Autumn Wind Garden, several ancient trees provide a natural protection.
One after another, figures appeared on the umbrella.
People of high status all asked their servants or servants to carry the sedan chair.
The wind is strong and fast.
The sedan chair was like a flat boat on a flat lake, so light that it didn't rock at all.
Today is different from the past.
The only quiet sounds in the Autumn Wind Garden are the howling wind and the sound of falling rain.
The crowd could only watch from a distance, although some people wanted to squeeze in.
I just saw men of the same color all around, either wearing short swords on their waists or carrying short sticks on their backs.
Everyone had a strong aura about them, and they didn't dare to step forward anymore.
The odds are getting bigger and bigger, and local gangs are not a factor in this kind of martial arts gambling game.
Although the leader of the Viper Gang is already a very high-status figure in the world in the eyes of others.
But now, he couldn't even sit on the sedan chair, so he could only blend in with the crowd and look in the direction of Qiu Fengting from a distance.
Liu Er on the side said: "Gang leader, I heard that Sanniang of Lichun Court invited a mysterious master this time, and also bet a large sum of money on the loss of the swordsman from the Western Regions. Why haven't I seen the mysterious master yet?"
"Nonsense, they say he is a mysterious master, and he is designated to make his final appearance."
"I don't know who will win this time."
Liu Er rubbed his hands with anticipation.
The gang leader smiled proudly, "Nonsense, it's the swordsman from the Western Regions who was designated. I got the inside information..."
Liu Er leaned closer
"Ma Sanniang joined forces with others this time and invested a large amount of money.
Showing that she has a winning ticket, she tricks some fools into investing money with her.
Otherwise, how could the bet be so big? The strength of the swordsmen of the Western Regions is obvious to all."
Liu Er's face was full of shock, "If Ma Sanniang does this, won't she also lose money?"
"If you say you are stupid, you are not smart!"
The gang leader gave Liu Er a slap on the head.
"After the deed is completed, the wealthy gentry's money will be returned in full, and they will share the money of those fools together!"
Seeing Liu Er's bad expression, the gang leader said suspiciously: "You...won't join Ma Sanniang to join the Western Region Swordsman and be defeated, right?"
Liu Er nodded without tears, "Yes!"
That day, he was terribly confused.
In the end, I felt that Li Ping'an's words made sense and left it to fate.
"Hahaha!"
The gang leader couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"You boy, you boy..."
"Gang leader, what should I do? That's half of my net worth."
Liu Er now wants to kill Li Pingan.
The gang leader gave Liu Er a few symbolic words of comfort, but the unstoppable smile on his lips gave him away.
