Looking at the gold on the case, Yang Anxuan said hesitantly: "This is what my family has spent on Yu's stay in Beijing in the past few years. If he loses, Yu will not have enough food and clothing."

Diao Yun smiled and said: "It's a little gambling for fun, let's play a few games."

Diao Yun's friends Zhang Xi and Yuan Sheng encouraged him: "Yes, there is no harm in playing two games. Besides, there is free room and board in Guozixue. Why worry about room and board? If you win, you can go to the Qinhuai River to indulge."

How many days."

Seeing that Yang Anxuan was interested, Diao Yun loudly called to the waiter and asked him to fetch the sedge. There were often diners gambling in the restaurant, and all the gambling equipment was available.

Tao Ping and Gan Yue looked at each other and sighed helplessly. Young Master Yang had been fooled by Diao Yun just like the two of them.

Holding the five pieces of Aipu and rubbing them, this set of throwing tools was not made of Aochi wood, but of precious iron wood. Yang Anxuan tried to inject the true energy in his body into it.

Since time traveling, Yang Anxuan has never dared to relax. He gets up at Mao hour to practice archery and horseback riding, and goes to bed to practice Zhenqi hard at Haishi. After being taught the Dayan Kung Fu by Master Huiyuan, Qingxuan's mind method can be reconciled with yin and yang, combining hardness and softness.

Archery became more and more random, and Ma Shan was very good at it. His strength increased by three points. If he had to fight Cen Minghu again, Yang Anxuan was confident that he could win him.

Throw the five pieces of wood casually, and feel the true energy extending, rolling, colliding, and turning along with the chess pieces.

Controlling the flipping of five chess pieces, it was a bit confusing to focus on five things. Three chess pieces turned out as expected, while the other two rolled down on their own.

After throwing six or seven times in succession, Yang Anxuan got a feel for it and said with a smile: "Yu played acanthus before in Luoyang, and he is considered a master. Brother Diao, be careful."

When Yang Anxuan was throwing gambling tools, Diao Yun carefully observed Yang Anxuan's moves. Hearing Yang Anxuan's boast, he laughed secretly in his heart. The fat sheep actually boasted about the tiger. Later, he would let him see his own methods and swallow up all the dregs of him.

Diao Yun smiled and said: "Then please show mercy to Mr. Yang. Mr. Yang, you can throw it first. How big is the bet?"

Yang Anxuan picked a heavy piece of gold from the pile and threw it out, saying: "Let's just have it."

Diao Yun said: "Master Yang, all you have to do is tell me the number. I will be more trustworthy than you."

Yang Anxuan said with a smile: "Brother Diao is very refreshing. I have made this friend Yang. Then I will keep two liang."

As he spoke, Yang Anxuan threw the five pieces of wood in his hand casually, and controlled the throw to make a "Xiao" (three black and two white).

Diao Yun smiled and said: "Young Master Yang is very lucky."

He grabbed the five pieces of wood and blew into his hand and threw a "calf" (two black and three white). Yang Anxuan won two taels of gold.

Yang Anxuan looked at Zhang Xi, Yuan Sheng, Yin Dun and others and said: "Let's all bet together, it will be more lively."

This proposal suited Zhang Xi and others, and they all bet money, but they didn't bet on Diao Yun.

Yin Dun won fifty taels of gold from Shenghuaju last time, so he took fifteen or six taels with him, and bet each one on Yang Anxuan.

Tao Ping and Gan Yue were a little timid at first, but when they saw that Yang Anxuan won more than he lost, and actually won seven or eight taels of gold in ten games, they also started to place bets.

Diao Yun paid attention to Yang Anxuan's appearance, and saw that Yang Anxuan's eyebrows were dancing and knew that he had taken the bait. He smiled and said: "Oh, I didn't expect that Mr. Yang is really a master. He won seven or eight taels of gold in one fell swoop. Why don't you just bet bigger?"

Zhang Xidao: "Mr. Yang, you are very lucky. I have won more than two taels even if I followed you. Brother Diao is a rich man, so he just took this opportunity to win a big one."

"Yes, Young Master Yang, I will change your custody later." Yuan Sheng was fussing on the sidelines.

Only Yin Dun saw a hint of coldness flashing in Yang Anxuan's eyes.

Yang Anxuan pulled the gold and said happily: "Okay, let's get the big one."

With that said, Diao Yun pushed out the more than eight taels of gold in front of him, grabbed another handful of gold and threw it in. Diao Yun glanced at it and saw that there were about twenty taels.

This time it was Diao Yun's turn to throw first. Diao Yun no longer pretended, carefully stacked the five pieces of wood in his hand, turned his wrist and threw it gently, and it turned out to be "Lu", which was the highest color among the five blacks. Tao Ping and Gan Yue exclaimed, they

Yang Anxuan has lost all his money.

Yin Dun also bet five taels, and seeing Yang Anxuan throw a "calf" casually, he lost nearly thirty taels including his bet.

Yang Anxuan seemed to be a little angry. He pushed the remaining gold out and said: "There are more than eighty taels here. Let's take a gamble."

Diao Yun, Zhang Xi, Yuan Sheng and others looked at each other with pride in their eyes.

Yuan Sheng praised loudly: "Young Master Yang, you are so heroic. I admire people who put money first and justice first."

Diao Yun pushed out all the gold he had won, and took out the IOU written by Tao Ping from his arms, saying: "With this IOU, it's almost even. Let's decide the outcome."

A few people throwing alfalfa had already alerted the people around them. Even in a casino, such a big bet was rare, and everyone came over to watch. Neither Yang Anxuan nor Diao Yun chased people away, and they both wanted to be witnessed.

Yang Anxuan glanced at Yin Dun and said, "Brother Yin, the outcome will be decided in one go, why not bet more."

Yin Dun understood the idea and bet the remaining ten or two more. However, Tao Ping and others were not optimistic about Yang Anxuan and all bet on Diao Yun.

Yang Anxuan secretly thought that he came to help Tao Ping, but Tao Ping placed a bet on Diao Yun. Even if he was not optimistic about himself, he would just not place a bet. From this, it seemed that people like Tao Ping were not worth helping.

Diao Yun held the five pieces of wood in his hand, carefully stacked them in a convenient position, raised them above his head and muttered something, and after praying, he threw them down. Four black and one white were "pheasants", and he had a great chance of winning.

Yuan Sheng and Zhang Xi had already cheered. They each bet about 10 taels each, and if they win back, they will get double the money. This trip to dinner with Diao Yun was considered the right one, and they made seven or eight taels of gold.

Tao Ping and Gan Yue's eyes were filled with joy, they could win a few taels this time.

Tao Ping looked at the gold on the case and sighed in his heart. It was a pity that he could not borrow Yang Anxuan's money to pay off the debt. However, seeing that Diao Yun had won more than a hundred taels, he took advantage of his happiness and gave him a few days of grace.

Diao Yun glanced at Yang Anxuan proudly and said, "Master Yang, please. Don't shake your hands."

Diao Yun laughed loudly, and Zhang Xi and Yuan Sheng also showed mocking smiles.

Yang Anxuan grabbed the throwing tool and seemed to throw it away casually. Under the control of Zhenqi, the five chess pieces rolled several times on the table, each of them showing their black side.

The laughter ended with a "quack", and Zhang Xi and others were stunned like ducks whose necks were pinched.

The onlookers around him burst into loud exclamations, and Yin Dun saw the indifferent smile on Yang Anxuan's face again, and everything was under control.

"Young man, you are worth a thousand dollars." Diao Yun roared angrily.

"Young Master Diao, you're just lucky. Yu has already told you that Yu is a master, but you just don't believe it."

While talking, Yang Anxuan calmly gave him Yin Dun's principal and winnings, folded the IOU, and put the gold into the silk scarf.

Standing up, Yang Anxuan said to the dumbfounded Tao Ping and Gan Yue: "Brother Tao, Brother Gan, it seems that I don't need to lend you money. You just have to pay back the money you owe."

Tao Ping opened his mouth, hoping that Yang Anxuan would pay him back the IOU. Gan Yue tugged at his clothes. Tao Ping opened his mouth but did not make a sound.

Seeing Yang Anxuan and Yin Dun turning around to leave, Diao Yun became anxious and shouted loudly: "Wait a minute."

Yang Anxuan said with half a smile: "Brother Diao, if you want to make a comeback, do you still have the gambling money?"

Diao Yun looked at Yang Anxuan, wondering whether the throw just now was due to luck or whether Yang Anxuan really had superb gambling skills, but judging from Yin Dun's reaction, it was probably the latter.

It was ridiculous that I was trying to lure him into an ambush by pretending, but in the end, I fell into a trap. Not only did I lose Tao Ping's IOU, but I also paid nearly fifty taels of gold. I really couldn't swallow this bad breath.

Not wanting to fight in front of everyone, Diao Yun forced a smile and said: "Young Master Yang has a good trick, and Diao is convinced that he lost. Today I didn't have enough capital to have a good time. I will ask Young Master Yang to have a good time gambling with me some time later."

Yang Anxuan smiled and said, "I'll be with you anytime."

When Yang Anxuan and the four left together, Yuan Sheng whispered: "Brother Diao, are you going to let this kid go like this?"

Diao Yun said with a sullen face: "Damn it, the boat capsized in the gutter, but this kid took the blame. Go to Guozixue to find acquaintances to inquire about this kid's situation. You are not prepared this time. Next time, let this kid eat you."

Spit out everything you've heard from me, and let's go."

Returning to Guozixue, Tao Ping and Gan Yue followed them to Yang Anxuan's residence.

Yang Anxuan saw that Tao Ping was hesitant to speak, so he simply broke his fantasy and said: "Brother Tao, don't worry, I don't want your interest, just pay off the fifty taels of gold before the end of the year."

Tao Ping thanked him, and the debt repayment date was extended to the end of the year, and as long as the principal was repaid, he could finally take a breather. After chatting for a while, Tao Ping and Gan Yue left.

Yin Dun said: "An Xuan, I think you have the intention to make friends with these two people, why don't you pay them back the IOU first?"

Yang Anxuan shook his head and said: "Yu originally wanted to make friends, but Brother Yin, look at the behavior of these two people in the restaurant. They forget their loyalty and want to win some money from Yu. How can such people do this?

As friends? Even if we make friends, they are just fair-weather friends."

The next few days in Guozixue were quite peaceful. Yang Anxuan went to the classroom on time to listen to the teaching assistant's lectures, got to know some classmates, and noticed that Chen Zhi did not show up.

Before he came to Jiankang, Chen Shen had already left Jiyang to take up his post in Xiping County, Ningzhou. With the Chen family's vengeful character, the feud between the Yang and Chen families was settled, and Chen Zhi would definitely not let it go.

However, Yang Anxuan didn't take Chen Zhi too seriously. If he couldn't cure a small Chen Zhi, how could he govern the world.

What disappointed Yang Anxuan was that Che Yin did not come to study at Guozi. After asking Yin Dun, he found out that Dr. Che was not on time when he came to study at Guozi. When he was interested, he would come three or four times a month, sometimes every three or two months.

No trace.

Chen Zhi, who was talked about by Yang Anxuan, is currently in the Xie Mansion in Wuyi Lane.

Wuyi Lane is located in the south of the Qinhuai River, next to the Zhuque Bridge. During the Three Kingdoms period, Wu set up a military camp here as the garrison of the imperial army. The imperial army wore black military uniforms, so it was called Wuyi Lane (1). Nowadays, Wuyi Lane is the place where the king and Xie Liang were stationed.

Home residence.

The two-foot-wide Chi Road runs from the Royal Road to the east, passes through the Zhuque Bridge, and reaches the entrance of Wuyi Alley. Both sides of the straight alley are high-walled houses with pink walls and red doors.

Xie's residence is built along the Qinhuai River and covers an area of ​​nearly 20 acres. The residence is divided into multiple groups of courtyards. The pavilions and pavilions in the residence are densely covered with gardens, connected by verandahs. The decorations are either gorgeous or elegant, all of which are ingenious and admirable.

Xiyuan is the residence of the late Lieutenant Xie An. After Xie An passed away, his eldest son Xie Yao inherited the dukedom of Luling County and lived in Xiyuan.

Chen Zhi was sitting in Xie Pu's study, facing the east window. The greenery outside the window was rich, and the crisp chirping of birds came from the branches and leaves, making people feel peaceful.

In February of this year, Xie Pu married the daughter of Wang Tanzhi, the former Anbei general, and was granted the title of Shangshu Dianshi (seventh rank). Chen Zhi did not come for a while.

The Xie family has thick legs and must be hugged tightly, so Chen Zhi took advantage of Xie Pu's rest today to pay a visit.

"Ziji, how are you doing lately? Why didn't you invite Brother Wen Liang to come with you?" Xie Puzheng said with a proud face, his face full of joy.

Chen Zhiying said: "Brother Wen is studying the "Book of Rites" and is preparing to pass the classics at the end of the year. Brother Xie, you are a person who welcomes happy events, but you are stupid enough to study in Guozi and live like a year?"

"why?"

Chen Zhi sighed: "It's not Wang Chunzhi, but Yang Anxuan."

Xie Pu was stunned and said: "Yang Anxuan? Hongnong Yang Anxuan, he entered the Imperial Academy."

"Yes, this guy stopped Yu in the dining hall when he first arrived at the Guozi School. He threatened and forced Yu to leave." Chen Zhi recounted the story with added jealousy.

Xie Pu originally had a good impression of Yang Anxuan, but after hearing Chen Zhi's report that Yang Anxuan was so domineering, he couldn't help but frowned and said: "They say that this person is arrogant because of his talent. As is the rumor. Ziji, Xie will meet him when you have time and advise him."
