Li Yindi had no experience being ridiculed by a poor scholar, so he immediately said, "As long as you can prove that you can get 500,000 taels of gold, I will agree to increase your bet."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Qiaoer stepped forward and said, "If he loses, the whole world will give you 600,000 taels of gold."
Nowadays, no one dares to doubt the strength of the Tianxia Family, but Li Yindi's face is a little ugly. This is not what he wants to see, and who are you looking down on by adding an extra hundred thousand taels of gold?
Li Yindi was so angry that he could only sneer at Wu Yuan: "Are you just going to hide behind women?"
Wu Yuan was not ashamed, but felt proud and said: "If you can do it, you can do it too. Don't say the grapes are sour because you can't eat them. Now you don't have to worry about me not being able to get the money, so just say that."
It’s settled, the loser will not only have to kneel down and kowtow and call him grandpa, but he will also have to take the money.”
Now that the words have come to this point, Li Yindi doesn't know what to say. Anyway, he has absolute confidence in himself, not to mention that he still takes the initiative.
He had really studied Gobang for a long time, and finally concluded that the opening was very important.
"Then let's get started."
Li Yindi was the first to make the move, and quickly formed a cross formation.
Wu Yuan did not panic when he saw this. Li Yindi was attacking, so he could just block it, and then wait for opportunities to find Li Yindi's flaws, so that he could turn defeat into victory.
Compared with the situation here, the match between Mr. Zheng and the pretty boy over there was much more harmonious.
The two of them even talked and laughed. Mr. Zheng was smiling from ear to ear under the pretty boy's intentional compliments.
Zhao Kuan had a bad premonition when he saw this scene. Backgammon was actually just a child's play for Mr. Zheng. Zhao Kuan originally had great confidence in Mr. Zheng, but now, seeing Mr. Zheng's condition,
Zhao Kuan couldn't help but feel his heart sink.
He knew Mr. Zheng's character best. He was indeed a very capable senior, but he also had a lot of vanity.
Otherwise, I wouldn't always talk about almost becoming an imperial master. What I mentioned before about missing out due to illness is just a nice way of saying it.
Investigating the reason, it is not enough for outsiders to understand.
But vanity and complacency are Mr. Zheng's biggest weaknesses. Under the sugar-coated bullets of this pretty boy in front of him, Zhao Kuan clearly felt that Mr. Zheng had drifted away.
Soon, when he was only twenty years old, the pretty boy suddenly smiled and said, "Thank you, senior, for the concession. I'm sorry, junior."
Mr. Zheng's expression changed and he quickly looked at the chessboard carefully.
When he saw the little boy's placement, he was a little dumbfounded. He didn't even see that the chess pieces here were connected together just now.
Mr. Zheng suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and even felt a little uncomfortable looking at Zhao Kuan. He knew that Zhao Kuan's face must be ugly at this moment.
He was careless, otherwise he would not have been defeated so quickly.
The pretty boy opposite also stood up, politely clasped his fists at Mr. Zheng again and said, "If it weren't for the senior's concession, I'm afraid it would be really difficult for the junior to win. Thank you again, senior."
Mr. Zheng said with a smile: "It's easy to talk, it's easy to talk. You are a young man, you will have to work hard in the future."
The pretty boy agreed happily, and then looked at Zhao Kuan, "Brother Zhao, I admit it."
Of course, Zhao Kuan also knows this pretty boy. This pretty boy is not simple either. Most of the casinos and casinos in the capital are owned by his family.
They are all profitable businesses, and their strength is not small.
Moreover, it is even harder to offend such a person. Even if Zhao Kuan saw that the pretty boy was deliberately paralyzing Mr. Zheng, he just laughed and said, "Brother Chang Qing, there is no need to be modest. I hope you can win the final victory, but don't let it happen."
I'm disappointed."
Chang Qing was startled and couldn't help but look back at Wu Yuan and Li Yindi who were playing against each other.
Then he asked Zhao Kuan in surprise: "Brother Zhao, does he think that poor scholar will beat Brother Li?"
They are all in the same circle. Even if Zhao Kuan and Li Yindi don't deal with each other on weekdays, they don't say that they hope that he can win against Li Yindi. So what he said just now is obviously directed at the poor scholar, don't let him
They lost the face of their circle.
Zhao Kuan was not polite and directly analyzed: "I still know Li Yindi's virtues. He is too eager for quick success."
Hearing what Zhao Kuan said, Chang Qing smiled and nodded, "That's true, but please don't worry, Brother Zhao, I won't embarrass us."
"That's the best. Then I wish you the best."
Chang Qing also responded politely. He knew very well that Zhao Kuan wanted him to win just because, relatively speaking, he didn't want a poor and ugly scholar to win the final victory.
It's not just a matter of identity, it's also because the ugly guy's score in the first round was very high. If he wins another game, he will occupy the first place.
And he just got an eight-point score. Although it was higher than most people, it was still a big gap if he didn't reach a nine-point score.
The appearance of this backgammon gave Chang Qing hope.
Regarding backgammon, Chang Qing discovered that she had a very high talent. Not only did she quickly master the essence, but she also created many clever tricks of her own.
He had just defeated Mr. Zheng with less than twenty pieces. Not only did he make Mr. Zheng become careless, but he also had everything planned out long ago.
"Go and have a look, know your enemy and know yourself, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles." Zhao Kuan suggested.
Of course Chang Qing would not refuse, "I just heard that the two of them have added some luck. They really win my heart."
As a young man who grew up in a casino, of course he likes this the most.
Zhao Kuan was noncommittal about this. When Chang Qing walked over, he turned to look at Mr. Zheng who looked embarrassed.
Although he was dissatisfied with the old man's careless behavior just now, Zhao Kuan did not criticize him for anything. Instead, he still said to Mr. Zheng very politely: "Mr. Zheng, don't take it personally. There are still two games to come. Please do your best, Mr. Zheng."
."
Mr. Zheng also knows the importance of this competition. He is now a guest of the Zhao family. If he does not get a good result, his status in the Zhao family will plummet.
"Don't worry, I will do my best to help you win your beauty back."
With Mr. Zheng's promise, Zhao Kuan was in a much better mood, and then he went to Wu Yuan and Li Yindi.
"Brother Chang Qing, how's it going?"
Chang Qing shook his head, "I can't tell yet. I can only say that it won't be a big surprise for either of them to win in the end."
Hearing this, Zhao Kuan also became interested, and then turned around to look. At this look, he also said "Good guy!"
"Does it take so many pieces to play backgammon?"
At this time, the black and white chess pieces have occupied most of the chessboard, and only a small part is left. "Isn't this going to be a draw in the end?"
