Martial Lord

"This round, I abstain."

As soon as Zhang Qiling said this, the audience was in an uproar.

Xie Yuchen also seemed a little surprised. He looked at Wu Xie, then at Zhang Qiling, thoughtfully, and shook his head after a long while and said, "It seems that Brother Zhang is not someone who knows how to drink. Then congratulations, Mr. Wang Meng, there will be no fight in this round." And win..."

As soon as the voice fell, there was a "plop", and everyone looked around, but saw Wang Meng lying on the ground, unconscious, with an empty wine glass at his feet.

——A pour in a cup, a real pour in a cup.

Xiaohua smiled "puchi" and said, "Wu Xie, you guy is lucky, the first cup is ten years old."

I'm afraid he would have the same reaction even after drinking new wine, Wu Xie let out a long sigh, no longer in the mood to pay attention to Xiao Hua's teasing, and hurriedly asked someone to carry Wang Meng into the house.I don't know what kind of wine Xiao Hua is, seeing Wang Meng like this, he won't be able to wake up for a while.The continuous changes made the crowd a little commotion, and the result of the competition became more and more confusing.Wu Xie was agitated for a while, and simply announced that the competition was suspended, and it will continue tomorrow.

Everyone was in high spirits, and when they saw that there was no excitement to watch, they were somewhat disappointed and dissatisfied.Fortunately, it was noon, the theater was about to start, the casino was about to start, and everyone's excitement was quickly transferred to other places.

Wu Xie never imagined that such troubles would arise in the competition that was supposed to be quick for a while.I can only sigh that Wang Meng's luck is too good. If Zhang Qiling abstained a quarter to three later, this match would be a draw at best.Now that Xiaohua has announced the result, Wang Meng won a game for nothing.As for Zhang Daxia... who would have thought that such a stalwart man would never drink a drop of alcohol, and wouldn't even ask for an answer?Does he have a good idea of ​​the next round, or does he not mind winning or losing at all?

As soon as Xiaohua's people left, only Wu Xie and Zhang Qiling were left in the store.Facing the current situation, Wu Xie always felt a little embarrassed for some reason.Zhang Daxia was as calm as usual, and very naturally occupied the only rocking chair behind the counter, closed his eyes and rested his mind, and was extremely quiet, as if the matter in front of him had nothing to do with him.Wu Xiexin said that he really didn't understand, how could this stuffy oil bottle have such an old-fashioned personality at such a young age, he looked only a few years older than himself...

"Wu Xie." The man said suddenly.

Wu Xie was taken aback, almost thinking that her stomach had been punctured, and hurriedly said: "What, what's the matter, little brother?"

Zhang Qiling raised his eyes, sized him up a bit, but asked an irrelevant question: "Wu Xie, why haven't you practiced martial arts?"

Wu Xie was taken aback, he didn't expect Zhang Qiling to ask these things.

The Wu family has withdrawn from the arena for more than [-] years. Is it strange that he doesn't practice martial arts?Zhang Qiling's opening made the dull atmosphere a lot easier.So Wu Xie said truthfully: "It's not that there is nothing at all. When I was young, my health was not good. My grandfather taught me to practice a set of mental methods, saying that it is to strengthen my body, but my family's kung fu is not enough. I only learned a little from my third uncle. , He said I am not that material."

After hearing this, Zhang Qiling just shook his head and didn't speak any more.

However, Wu Xie was aroused and asked, "Brother, are you familiar with my grandpa? Speaking of which, I lived with my grandpa when I was a child, and my grandpa took me with me wherever he went. I have never seen you before." Woolen cloth?"

Judging by age, Zhang Qiling was at most a teenager back then, but Wu Xie didn't have such a younger brother of the same age in his memory.He did remember that his grandfather had a mysterious friend who only visited a few times, but his grandfather always attached great importance to him and never allowed him to be present.That copper fish seems to have something to do with that person.Wu Xie secretly watched it once when she was a child, and only caught a glimpse of a back.Now that I think about it, that outline is somewhat similar to Zhang Qiling. Could it be that Zhang Qiling is a descendant of that uncle?He remembered that uncle was quite young, but he never thought that he already had such a big son...

"You have seen it." Unexpectedly, Zhang Qiling answered, but it was just that sentence, and there was no further text.

After all, the lid of the stuffy oil bottle showed signs of loosening, Wu Xie hurriedly asked, but before he could open his mouth, a pawn customer came outside.Wu Xie didn't expect that business would come to her door today, so she hurried forward to say hello.After finishing his work, a few more people came right after him, saying they wanted him to help him look at things.Wu Xiexin said what kind of wind is blowing today. Could it be that what happened in the morning really became famous?It's true that good things don't go out, and bad things spread far and wide... However, he soon discovered that something was wrong.Throughout noon, there was an endless stream of customers who came to the door, but they all had one common characteristic: the drunkard's intention was not to drink.

Most of these guests were worthless gadgets, and some didn't bring out anything at all, just asking him about tomorrow's competition.Wu Xie felt very strange, Wu Shandang's competition was just a fun for these people, why did everyone pay more attention to the results than his boss all of a sudden?

Fortunately, Wu Xie knew one of the people here.This person is called Leather Bao, and he is one of the third uncle's subordinates. This kid is young, courageous, and clever. He is quite prominent among the younger generation, but he only goes to the casino to play a few games every now and then.Seeing him, Wu Xie's eyes lit up immediately, and he grabbed him and went to the corner to ask questions.

"Leather bag, tell me the truth, what's going on?" Wu Xie said, stuffing a few copper plates into the hand of the bag.

The leather bag immediately understood most of it, returned the money back with a smile, and said, "Young Master, I don't need it today. Whatever you want to ask, just say it."

Wu Xie was taken aback for a moment, then frowned, there was only one possibility to take advantage of the advantage - there was a bigger advantage waiting for him later.This is because he is suspected of giving too little.

Wu Xie gritted her teeth, added a few more coins, and stuffed them without hesitation: "Tell me the truth, what are you doing here? Where did those people come from?"

This time I didn't push the purse any more, I put it away with a smile, and said: "Then thank you, but it's really nothing. I came here just to ask about tomorrow's affairs, Brother Zhang and Brother Wang, I don't know the third master Which one do you like more? From my point of view, this little brother is a hidden one, and the chances of winning are better, that Wang Meng is dumb..."

Before finishing speaking, Wu Xie's face sank: "Why do you care about this?"

"Little Sanye doesn't know something. Things in your place have already become a big scene. Brothers bet all their money to bet on Zhang Xiaoge to win. Xiao Sanye, we are our own family. You have to think about it tomorrow, so you can't deceive the brothers."

"Gambling?" Wu Xie was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly realized, and his tone suddenly became higher, "Is someone taking Wu Shan as a matter of gambling?"

The leather bag hurriedly waved his hands: "I didn't say anything. Little Third Master, I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first!"

The purse ran away in a hurry, but Wu Xie couldn't get angry.Damn it, this group of deadly gamblers dare to gamble with anything, and it's not enough to watch the excitement, yet they actually set up a stall on Wu Shan's business?Wu Xie has the name of Wu Sansheng on this street, and he has a bit of face. There are not many people who have the courage to break ground on his head, and he knows who it is after a little thought.

Wu Xie patted the table, got up and walked towards the door.He had been holding back his bird anger for a whole day, and now he finally had an outlet.The so-called is tolerable and unbearable, right?Well done, he's going to have a meeting now to see if the strong dragon from Beijing can overwhelm this local snake like him!

The next door to Wu Xie's house was originally an antique shop. The owner's surname was Hai, and people called him Lao Hai. It was the first outlet Wu Xie set up on his own.Being so close to the water, Wu Xie also learned a lot.However, the business on South Street was too deserted, and Lao Hai couldn't do it anymore, so he moved to the more prosperous East Street instead.This is the case with the few shops next door, and they gradually disappeared. Until a month ago, a boss from Beijing bought all the three shops next door. As soon as the firecrackers are set off and the plaque is lifted, it becomes a completely new Yueban Casino.

Wu Xie has no addiction to gambling. He grew up with his father in a school, and he was fascinated by the teachings of Confucius and Mencius. Even though he had a lot of social activities after entering the business, he still couldn't hide his bookishness, and he never had any problems with principles. .He doesn't care about other people's gambling, but now he can't bear to bet on himself, not to mention that the younger brother and Wang Meng are involved in it.Wu Xie doesn't need to stand up for himself, but he can't let these two people be implicated because of him.Especially the younger brother, the lower the profile of the younger brother's affairs with him, the better.The so-called helping people to the end, since he has already left people behind, he can't make troubles and trap people.

Turn left and within ten steps is the casino. The inside is full of smoky atmosphere, and there is an endless stream of yelling and cursing.No matter how well managed, a casino is a casino, after all, it is not a place that can be organized. Wu Xie endured the noise and the smell of sweat in the air and squeezed in. At a glance, he saw a conspicuous fat man sitting on the opposite table. He is the one with the loudest voice.

There were no dice or Pai Gow on the table. There were only two big boxes, one with Zhang and the other with King. At this moment, people are constantly investing money, and the momentum is fierce... The fat man shouted: "One pays five! It has fallen from one pays ten to one pays five! Hurry up, see if you can turn around and see tomorrow." Hey!"

Wu Xie could tell at a glance that this was a bet on his recruitment of a buddy, and immediately became furious, and slapped the table.

"Stop me all!"

The people around were all paying attention to the higher and higher stakes on the gaming table, they were taken aback by Wu Xie's slap, and they all looked over.Then Wu Shandang, the young shopkeeper, said angrily, "Who told you to bet? Who the hell is in charge! Come out!"

As soon as the accident happened, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and the fat man was also taken aback.A sharp-eyed man recognized Wu Xie, and whispered a few words to the fat man. The fat man's eyes lit up, and he became very enthusiastic: "So it's shopkeeper Wu? What a distinguished guest! Six, why are you still standing there? Hurry up!" , please take the seat of shopkeeper Wu, and make good tea for shopkeeper Wu!"

After the fat man gave his orders, someone immediately brought a comfortable chair for Wu Xie, and served him with new tea.He himself went to the opposite one, with a very familiar attitude: "Let me introduce myself, my surname is Wang, known as Fatty Wang, and I am also the owner of this month and a half casino, nice to meet you!"

Dare to love this person is actually the boss?Wu Xie did not expect to see the principal so soon.The so-called reaching out and not hitting a smiling person means that the other party is polite, so Wu Xie is naturally not good at not giving a step.Immediately, he restrained his anger and said: "My servant Wu Xie, Boss Wang, I have long admired you."

The fat man looked very cheerful, and he patted Wu Xie's shoulder with his big hand: "Oh, just call me fat man. We are all neighbors, and we need to take care of each other in the future. We are all friends, we are all friends, haha Ha ha."

Wu Xiexin said that it would be easy if you said that, but he didn't forget what he was here for.

"Since that's the case, then please ask the fat brother to sell me face and remove this table. I don't want to publicize the private affairs of the shop."

The fat man laughed even more when he heard this: "Shopkeeper Xiao Wu is joking, isn't he? I am a casino here, how can I not do business?" Before Wu Xie got angry, the man said again: "Don't worry, I understand what you mean, Fat Lord is a very reasonable person, and he will never treat anyone badly in this matter... Come on."

He turned his back on everyone, lowered his voice, and made a "two" gesture to Wu Xie: "How about it? This dealer counts as your share, and we will share [-]% of it. If you have money, everyone will earn together! You can concentrate on recruiting your buddies." , Of course..." The fat man chuckled, "If you are optimistic about someone in advance, don't forget to remind Fat Master, I have bet a lot of money on your little brother Zhang. Fat Master has been in the world for many years, and his vision is very poisonous That little brother is a ruthless character, trust me, it’s definitely right to keep him.”

Is this fucking childcare hired by Daxia Zhang?If it weren't for Zhang Qiling's bad temper, Wu Xie would have thought that he was being tricked by Zhang Qiling, why both of them are so good at it!

The fat man looked confident, as if the money on the table had already entered his pocket, but Wu Xie became more and more angry: "Boss Wang is kind enough. But I also said that this is Wu Shan's fault." Chores."

The smile on the fat man's face froze, and then he rubbed his brows: "Okay, I understand, then, Sanqi... no, four six, four six!"

Wu Xie shook his head.

"Five to five! No less!" The fat man gritted his teeth.

Wu Xie remained silent.

"Hey, you little master..." After speaking, the fat man laughed angrily, "You really deserve the name of innocence. Discuss with you carefully, because I don't want people to say that I am bullying the fat man. .After all, this is my place. You brat came here to make a fuss, and you pretended to be foolish before speaking? Young people don't want to toast or eat fine wine!"

Wu Xie got up: "Why, Boss Wang still wants to be rough?" He didn't believe that anyone would dare to do anything to him on this street.

The fat man curled his lips disdainfully: "Come on, your little arms are not as thick as the fat man's ankles. How can you be rough with you? If it spreads out, it will be a joke for people in the Jianghu. Shopkeeper Wu is not interested in our business, so we won't keep it any longer. Sixth son, see off the guests! That's right... shopkeeper Wu Jingui, you don't have to follow the rules of the venue, just take it easy and throw it out."

The two subordinates responded and actually walked towards Wu Xie.Wu Xie's complexion changed, and it was already a step too late to run, and then he was grabbed by his arms from left to right, and was easily dragged towards the door.

"Fatty Wang! How dare you fucking dare—hey!" Before he finished shouting, the two supporting him made a concerted effort, and actually threw him out along the door.Wu Xie's eyes blurred, he slid a few steps and couldn't find his balance, and fell backward...

The next moment, the pain of the collision did not come.

Before he fell to the ground, he crashed into a cool embrace, and his body was firmly caught.Wu Xie raised her head, and suddenly met a pair of calm eyes, her heart almost missed a beat.

"Brother?" Wu Xie hurriedly stood up, "Why did you come out?"

He went out alone because he didn't want Zhang Qiling to know about the casino, and now it seemed that it was too late.

Zhang Qiling and Wu Xie looked at each other, then looked at the gambling house behind him, and asked lightly, "Is this right here?"

Wu Xie's heart sank, and he hurriedly said: "Brother, don't..."

"Go back and wait." Zhang Daxia couldn't help but say, he let Wu Xie go with his arms around his waist, and strode towards the casino by himself.
