"What did you say?" Yu Qiuping was shocked when he heard this, and suddenly turned around, "Where is the envoy?"
"It's not a messenger, Miyoshi Chokei himself is here, riding a Kan ship." Mori Ranmaru also answered tremblingly. Qiupei couldn't see his face clearly under the moonlight and it was raining, but just by listening to his voice, he knew that he was also shocked.
Not light.
"Me? He just...came to the door?" Yu Qiuping couldn't stand it any longer, and immediately waved his hand to Mori Ranmaru to lead the way, "Where are the others?"
"We don't dare to make any suggestions and let him board the ship. We are still waiting far away on the sea."
"Send him over immediately. I'll see him at Suruga Pills." Yu Qiuping didn't know what kind of medicine Sanhao Changqing bought in the gourd, and his heart was in his throat.
Not long after, Yu Qiuping, who was standing at the stern of the ship, saw a lantern-lit ship, slowly passing between the giant ships of the Red Leaf Fleet. After the ship pulled aside, a hanging ladder was lowered, and an elderly man
The people quickly began to climb up. Upon seeing this, Yu Qiuping led the guards into the lighted cabin, waiting for Sanhao Changqing's arrival. However, there was some small dispute at the cabin door.
"Your Highness Miyoshi, your belongings must be inspected before you can bring them into the cabin." Asahina Yahei's voice sounded at the door, and there was a faint sound of footsteps crossing.
"It's not necessary, it's just a small thing left by an old friend." Another unfamiliar male voice came from outside the house. It was much more casual and casual than Yu Qiuping imagined. It was probably the result of a happy marriage.
"That's not possible." Asahina Taihei is famous for being stubborn, so he probably stopped Miyoshi Nagakei from letting him in. "You must check. This is the rule of the Red Leaf Army."
"Please do as you please, but please don't make a mess." There was a hint of helplessness in Miyoshi Changqing's voice, which seemed to contain a hidden incomprehension of the young man in front of him.
There was a small sound outside the house. Asahina Taihei should be checking the things Miyoshi Nagakei brought. Yu Qiupei vaguely heard that Asahina Taihei said "huh" in surprise, but he quickly confirmed and said, "Okay, you
You can go in, please."
After Sanhao Changqing walked into the cabin alone, Yu Qiuping looked at the man in front of him through the dim light. Sanhao Changqing was almost 60, but his face was much younger than his actual age, and he looked like he was not even 50.
When he arrived, he was wearing a sapphire blue samurai uniform and looked quite energetic. He was holding a wooden box in his hand, which was probably what Asahina Taihei had just inspected. He didn't know what it was for. But since Miyoshi Nagakei didn't take the initiative to say
, Yu Qiuping did not intend to take the initiative to ask in order not to fall behind in terms of momentum and not to give Sanhao Changqing a chance to take advantage of.
"Yu Qiu governs the department." Sanhao Changqing sat down opposite Yu Qiuping. He did not salute, but smiled and greeted, "You are well."
"Sanhao repairman is joking, when have you and I met?" Yu Qiuping shook his head in confusion and said, "I wonder what Sanhao repairman came to see me all night long, what do you do for me?"
"Come to gamble." Sanhao Changqing replied briefly, and at the same time raised his head and glanced at Yu Qiuping.
"Bet, what's the bet?" Although Yu Qiuping felt that asking this question would make him appear passive, he couldn't figure out what Sanhao Changqing wanted to do.
"It's not a bet, it's a gamble." Sanhao Changqing corrected Yu Qiuping's method and picked up the tea poured in front of him.
"Gambling?" Yu Qiuping was a little surprised when he heard this, and took another look at the wooden box that Sanhao Changqing brought. Could it be that it contained gambling props? "Sanhao worked hard on repairs and did not avoid danger. He sneaked into me alone in the middle of the night.
The military came to negotiate with me just for gambling?"
"That's right." Sanhao Changqing didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with Yu Qiuping's long message, and replied calmly.
"Not long ago, His Highness Shihe almost killed me. How did you know that I was still alive?" Yu Qiuping asked a question first.
"It's a gamble." Sanhao Changqing replied briskly.
"Your brother has been killed in battle." Yu Qiuping chose a short sentence.
"I know." Mihao Changqing sighed slightly, and the expression on his face fluctuated, "He swore an oath to me. Since you are alive, he must be gone."
"Since Sanhao Repairman planned such a ruthless attack on me this afternoon, why did he come to my flagship to negotiate alone now? Wouldn't the contrast between before and after be too great? Moreover, Sanhao Repairman is not afraid of me using my own way.
Do you want to treat him personally? You are the number one enemy of the Oda family, so it would be too casual to throw yourself into the trap like this." Yu Qiuping asked three times in a row, while his eyes kept turning on Miyoshi Changqing's face, trying to observe something.
Clues.
"First of all, I'm not here to negotiate, I'm here to gamble." Miyoshi Changqing put down the tea cup, stretched out three fingers, and took them back one by one, "Secondly, to be honest, if we can kill His Highness Jibu, that would be the best. But
If that doesn't work out, gamblers will always make the best choice at the moment."
"Thirdly, the good reputation of the Highness of the Government is hard-earned, so why would you risk your reputation to go against me?"
"Someone told me before that the so-called good reputation is just to get a good price for my first betrayal." Yu Qiuping replied in the words of Hojo Genan.
"His Highness Zhibu thinks highly of me, but he actually thinks I'm worth this price? The Sanhao family is now in the sunset and at the end of the road. How can it be worth it for His Highness Zhibu to give up his reputation and solve it?" Mihao Changqing laughed dumbly, shook his head and said, "You want me?"
It is said that the only thing worth this price in the world today is the head of Oda Nobunaga."
"Presumptuous." Yu Qiuping scolded in a deep voice, and slapped his hand on the table, "Did you come here all night to rebel? Seeing that the Sanhao family is desperate, so you want to instigate rebellion against me?"
"Have you never heard of the story of Kuai Tong persuading Han Xin to betray Liu Bang?" Sanhao Changqing blatantly cited the story of Kuai Tong persuading Han Xin to betray Liu Bang and divide the world.
"No." Yu Qiuping refused coldly.
"Forget it, I'm not here for the so-called betrayal anyway." Mihao Changqing adjusted his sitting posture and sat upright and said, "I told you, I'm here to gamble."
"Gambling? What's the bet?" Yu Qiuping leaned forward slightly and asked in a low voice.
"The result of this war." Miyoshi Changqing spread his hands and replied with a slight smile.
"Your capital is much less than mine, how can you bet with me?" Yu Qiuping shrugged and chuckled twice.
"I told His Highness Zhibu about this answer more than 20 years ago. Your Highness Zhibu, you are really forgetful." Miyoshi Changqing smiled to himself in front of the confused Yu Qiuping, and then took the answer
He passed the wooden box and slowly opened it in front of Yu Qiuping.
What comes into view are 10 wooden playing cards. 5 are on the opposite side and 5 are on my side. The playing cards are written with a brush. On my side are 3 J and a K. On the opposite side are 3 J and K.
There are 3 qs and a 10. There are also two upside down hole cards on both sides. I don’t know what they are.
Isn’t this how Suoha plays? How could it happen in this era...
etc……
A flood of memories suddenly came to him. It was 20 years ago that he went to Luoyang with Toshi Sena and met an uncle in a casino. Due to a series of misses, Yu Qiuping played "Shu () Ha" in order to regain his place.
I gave it to this uncle and made homemade wooden playing cards. The card in front of me was the unfinished gamble that year. Before leaving, the two parties also made this agreement——
·
"Sir! So you are here!" Just as the two were about to show their cards, a guard from Sena Shitoshi suddenly rushed in, "His Highness told Mr. Yuqiu to go back immediately. There is something urgent!"
"Hey! Is it urgent?" Yu Qiuping said as he wanted to show his cards, "I'll show my cards first..."
"Sir! It's urgent! What time has it been and you still want to gamble!" the guard shouted dissatisfied.
"It's okay, you have something to do, just leave first." The uncle smiled, "It loses a lot of fun if you turn over the cards hastily at such a thrilling moment. I'll show you the cards together some other time when you are free."
"Then I'll say goodbye first! I'll put the chips there first!" Yu Qiuping said goodbye with a smile, and then hurriedly left the casino with everyone.
·
Yu Qiuping raised his head in disbelief and stared at the middle-aged man in front of him. Although his appearance had changed a lot, the image of him and the gambling uncle from 20 years ago slowly overlapped.
"You are Sanhao Changqing..." Yu Qiuping pointed at Sanhao Changqing with a trembling hand, and said this sentence in a blur, making everyone around him look confused.
"It's me." Sanhao Changqing nodded.
"The croupier next to you... and the strong man next to you..." Yu Qiuping felt that the memories in his mind were connected all of a sudden, and he stood up in realization, "Three good things, Yixian... Shihe Yicun... I
I've all seen it... Why didn't I realize at the time that it was them... Then the other ship boss, could it be An Zhai Dongkang?"
"That's right." Miyoshi Changqing bowed to Yuqiu for the first time since he entered the cabin, "Thanks to His Highness Jibu for your guidance that day, which allowed Matsunaga Hide's conspiracy to be exposed."
"I thought this matter came to your ears in a roundabout way, but I didn't expect it to be so direct." Yu Qiuping smiled wryly at himself, and then sat down again. The three good brothers and the four brothers were saved from the fate of passing away one after another.
Yu Qiuping had already guessed that it was due to him accidentally leaking the history during the conversation. He never expected that he would directly leak the causes of death of the four brothers in their previous lives to the Sanhao and the four brothers themselves.
"Let's talk about business." Sanhao Changqing did not continue to reminisce with Yu Qiuping, but simply said, "Now that you have remembered it, you must have remembered what I said at that time. What should I do to make this happen?
The party with less capital can also have a fair bet with the party with more capital."
Yu Qiuping looked at Mihao Changqing, who had a bright light in his eyes, and the familiar pressure that had lasted 20 years suddenly came. Yu Qiuping immediately recalled what Mihao Changqing had said back then.
·
"Haha, I'm really not as good as the boss." Yu Qiuping sighed with shame, "I thought that if I changed the gameplay, the boss would definitely not be my opponent. But under the boss's psychological warfare, I had no power to fight back.
"
"Haha, it's not your fault." The uncle shook his head and said, "I seem to be richer than you. I don't feel sad even if I lose these ten coins, so I can do it so casually. If you are as rich as me
I will definitely not give up money easily."
"Haha, there is nothing we can do about it. After all, all strategies are based on strength. This is unfair from the beginning." Yu Qiuping replied casually.
"You have insight, what you say makes sense!" The uncle laughed heartily, "What's funny is that many people can't see it."
"However, I do have a way to make our gambling more fair." The uncle said with a smile.
"Boss, please tell me straight." Yu Qiuping asked as he watched the croupier shuffle the cards.
