The big porcelain bowl contains the treasure of the small teahouse, spring tea from Qiandang Mountain in Yuling, called "Qianhui New Green". Shu'er, who is disguised as a man, holds the big bowl in her right hand and a book in her left hand.

She sat in a corner of the teahouse and read carefully. The tea was sweet and soothing to her throat. She never cared whether it was the precious "Thousand Times New Green Tea" from Chu State or the rare "Lianxin Tea" from Song State.

Before Mo Luantan left, he naturally ordered the most expensive tea in the small teahouse for the young lady of the Zhuge family. He sent the gift to Prince Sheng's Mansion, and when he returned to the teahouse, he happened to see Shu'er drinking a bowl of "Qian Qian" like a cow.

"Return to the new green", and still kept his eyes on it, reading with gusto, and couldn't help but curse in his heart: "No wonder the young lady of our Zhuge family is really good at squandering natural resources!"

Mo Huantan stepped forward, saluted Shu'er and said, "Madam, the gift was delivered to the palace, and Young Master Dongfang came out to greet it."

Shu'er was still reading "Jiuzhou Game Collection" without raising his head and said: "Xiao Mo, thank you very much!"

Mo Huantan added some tea to Shu'er's bowl and asked, "Why do you drink tea from such a big bowl, madam? Isn't there a better cup in the teahouse?"

Shu'er was absent-minded and said: "It gets cold quickly."

Mo Huantan smiled and shook his head, and added: "Master Dongfang wants to come to see Madam, but I have rejected him as Madam said."

Shu'er finally learned another trick, so he came to an end, put down the book, and said to Mo Xian: "What we do must be quick and secretive. You and I are enough. There is no need to invite anyone else."

Help. What’s more, what we use are all charlatan tactics, there is no need to drag people who want to have a bright future into troubled waters."

Don't talk nonsense: "I told Mr. Dongfang that a gift is a gift and must be given out at one's own expense. If he comes to help, he can no longer call it 'Li'. He said that this gift is for King Sheng anyway."

, it wasn’t given to him. He insisted on coming to help and told me not to stop him. However, I still followed the madam’s instructions and threw him away. If the madam insists on not taking Young Master Dongfang with her, we should leave Shengwang County as soon as possible.

That’s wonderful.”

Shu'er stood up and the two walked out of the teahouse side by side. As Shu'er walked, he asked: "Little Dongfang's martial arts is so good, how did you get rid of him?"

Mo Luan said: "We are secretive, how much noise will there be in the competition? So I just told him to ask the elders in the family first, so he ran away happily, and I took the opportunity to sneak out of Prince Sheng's Mansion."

Shu'er smiled and said: "You offended that arrogant and domineering little Dongfang, you will suffer the consequences in the future! He has always wanted to be a good man who stands out, makes achievements, and is powerful in all directions. It's a pity that he missed the pleasure of capturing the Six Kings alive.

Yes, but you participated. When you return to Prince Sheng's Mansion in the future, if he pesters you to compete in martial arts every day, don't blame me."

Mo Huantan said: "There's nothing wrong with being able to compete with Young Master Dongfang. Besides, little Mo's family is on Xuanji Island. If I hide on the island, Young Master Dongfang can't hit me."

Shu'er said: "You two, one is smarter than the other, maybe you can play together in the future."

King Li's county in Chu State was prosperous, and Jingzhou City was very lively. King Li Wang Linrui loved gambling, so a gambling street was opened in Jingzhou City, euphemistically called "Game Lane".

There are eight chess and card clubs, five casinos, and three taverns in Game Alley. Early this morning, the seven chess and card clubs, four casinos, and three taverns were all empty. All the shopkeepers, clerks, gamblers, and players gathered

We arrived at the largest casino in Game Alley.

This "Cai Lai Casino" is not only the largest casino in the Game Alley of Jingzhou City, but also the largest casino in Li Wang County and even the entire seven counties of Chu Kingdom, because the owner of this casino is none other than Qian, the princess of Li Wang.

In Cai Lai Casino, all the gaming tables have been moved to the second floor, leaving only one gaming table on the first floor. Standing in front of the gaming table were two angry-looking teenagers, one about twenty years old, a fair-faced boy, wearing a

The clothes of a noble prince of the Song Dynasty. The other one, fourteen or fifteen years old, plain-looking, is wearing the clothes of a noble prince of the Chen Dynasty.

Chen Guo's boy imitated his newly learned Chen Guo accent, patted the table and said, "Liu, in the past three days, you and I have won consecutively in four chess and card clubs and two casinos in Game Lane.

More than a hundred taels of silver. But the four chess clubs and two casinos you went to are very different from the four chess clubs and two casinos I went to! The Japanese young master invites you here today because he wants to talk to you in person

It’s a showdown!”

The State of Chen is thousands of miles away from the State of Chu, with Song and Shu in between. Naturally, the Chu people present did not realize that the Chen State boy's Chen State accent was actually very poor and stiff. They only heard that

The young man from the Song Dynasty, whose surname is Liu, is very expensive from head to toe. He is probably a relative of the king of the Song Dynasty. The young man from the Chen Kingdom, whose surname is Li, has been spending money like water in Game Alley for the past three days and has an arrogant tone. He is probably also Chen.

The kings and nobles of the country.

Over the years, the Chu region collapsed and wars continued. Few people from other countries visited the Chu region. In the past few days, two wealthy young men from the Chen and Song countries suddenly came. The Chu people in Game Alley naturally wanted to see them.

Look. And they are not only rich, but they are also two small gamblers. Not only are they small gamblers, but they also compete with each other. This is an interesting thing that has not been seen in the game alley for many years. They know that Chen Guo and Song Guo have a big feud, and there was a great battle between Chen and Song.

, there were countless casualties, the Chen State changed its masters, and King Huai of Song Dynasty died in battle. Many years passed, and there was no war between Chen and Song Dynasties. The Chu State came over, and the small gamblers from the Chen State and Song State had a battle at the gambling table.

The boy from the Song Dynasty held back his laughter, grabbed two large silver ingots from the tray held by the waiter, placed them on the gaming table, and said in a pure Song country accent: "Li, you win these two coins from me first."

Let’s talk about ten taels of silver ingots! Otherwise, you won’t be able to show your dignity in front of this young master!”

The boy from Chen Guo laughed loudly, snatched the tray from the boy next to him, put the ten large silver ingots on the tray, a total of one hundred taels, and put them all on the gambling table, saying: "Liu, you are called

He is the cousin of the King of Song, why are you so stingy? If you want to bet, I will bet a hundred taels! If you beat me, I will call you 'brother', and the King of Song will also call me 'younger brother', what do you think?"

After everyone burst into laughter, they heard the young man from the Song Dynasty say: "Li, you claim to be King Chen's brother-in-law. If I defeat you, if you call me 'brother', King Chen will also call me 'little brother'."

Uncle'?"

Chen Guojun said: "You win first and then I'll tell you! Who with the surname Liu should bet big or small?"

Without waiting for the young man from the Song Kingdom to answer, a gambler from the Chu Kingdom interrupted and said: "Wait a minute, wait a minute! I'll bet too!" Then he put a few broken pieces of silver next to the one hundred taels of silver ingots of "Uncle King Chen", hoping that

Win the money from "Song King's cousin" and share the profits with "Chen King's uncle".

After this gambler, gamblers came one after another to place their bets. Some people bet on "Uncle Chen Wang" to win, while others bet on "Song Wang's cousin" to win, almost evenly divided.

After everyone placed their bets, the cousin of the King of Song said: "I bet big, I'll roll the dice!"

Uncle Chen Wang stopped him and said, "No! Who knows if you can play tricks! We'd better ask someone else to throw the dice!" Then he pointed to a spectator and said, "Uncle, come and help us throw the dice!"

The Chu people happily took four ox bone dice from the cousin of the King of Song. Each dice had six sides, and each side was marked with one to six vermilion dots.

The so-called "big bet" is to bet that after the four sieves are thrown out, the sum of the number of red dots on the four sides facing the sky will be greater than or equal to sixteen.
