Chapter 445
Li Mu rolled up with his shoulders in his arms, and was about to get involved. Suddenly he saw a pair of boots next to him. Then he looked up and saw Ergou looking over with a surprised face, completely confused. Seeing Li Mu looking at him, he had no idea how to react.
When his subordinates saw his embarrassment, if he had been an ordinary person, he would have been at a loss. But is Li Mu an ordinary person? When he saw Ergou, he stood up very calmly, slapped the dust on his body, and said, "Did you see the difference? When I told you to get away, you always use it. So you are still Ergou now, but when Your Majesty asked me to get away, I was really going away, so I can call myself this marquis now, do you understand?"
Ergou nodded blankly, not knowing whether it was really understood or false.
"Learn slowly. The advantages of this marquis are enough for you to learn in two lifetimes." Li Mu patted Ergou on the shoulder and passed by him. Ergou was stunned for a long time before he remembered why he was coming. He quickly caught up with Li Mu and said, "Mr. Marquis, my brother has just come..." Ergou leaned into Li Mu's ear and muttered a few words. Li Mu nodded and said, "Well done, go and tell Sangou that there is no need to bring people to Chang'an City, but to take them directly to the valley. Those elephants and rare birds are kept in the valley, and coral agate, etc., to heaven and earth. They are said to be the New Year gift I gave to the old man, gold, silver, money, etc.-"
Li Mu thought of Li Zhien. After the Chinese New Year, he would marry her on the Lantern Festival. He couldn't say that he didn't have some private money. He lowered his voice and said, "Send it to Jingdong Restaurant and hand it over to the second wife."
Ergou knocked it down one by one, ran downstairs to discuss with his brother.
Ergou's younger brother Sangou was sent by Li Mu to the inn south of Chang'an, waiting for the mission of Zhenla Kingdom to go. Li Mu was not a person who suffered a loss. Since Li Shimin did not support the matter of taking Zhenla rice seeds, he took on the responsibility himself, made a false decision, and falsely passed on the imperial edict to do the matter. Then he must also get all the benefits. Of course, including the elephants and corals that the motorcycle prince prepared to give to Li Shimin.
Li Mu was not interested in corals or something. But he was very interested in elephants. After the Chinese New Year, he would move to the valley to live. Anyway, the place was big, so why not open a zoo to make up for the regret of not visiting the zoo when he was a child?
As for whether Li Shimin would find out, Li Mu didn't think so much. So what if he found out, Li Shimin couldn't get angry just because he intercepted a few elephants, right? Isn't that the same as a child? Li Mu is now finding Li Shimin's weakness more and more. He is a very good person with face, so it is most effective for him to show his shameless spirit on non-principle issues.
It was more than half an hour before the next time the coins were scattered, and Li Mu came down from the stairs. Compared with half an hour ago, the situation on the first floor was obviously different.
When we first came, when faced with these new things, everyone didn't know how to play. They mainly looked at it and didn't get started. But as the service staff explained and gradually understood the gameplay, they all devoted themselves to it with novelty and curiosity. The guests who came to congratulate today all had the chips that Li Mu promised to give. Most people were thinking that since Li Mu said that the loser was his, and he could only take it away if he won. It would be useless not to play, and if he lost, he would not be his own. If he won, he could still make some money back.
Those who think like this have fallen into Li Mu's calculations. His marketing methods have long been ruined in his previous life. This is equivalent to giving an experience coupon, which makes him addicted to it while playing. This is also why Li Mu set the threshold for the Sihai Gambling House so high. He did not want to cut the money of the people, but if he wanted to cut the money of these rich nobles. Of course, this purpose cannot be told to outsiders. He will never say it out of his mouth. The main propaganda point is to enrich the entertainment life of the rich Tang tyrants.
Looking at the crowded people in front of every gambling tool, Li Mu seemed to see the spring - under the warm sunshine, the leeks grew vigorously. Farmer Li Mu drank three sips of the cool mountain spring, picked up his beloved sickle, cut, cut...
"What a harvest scene!"
Just as he was feeling the emotion, a scene in front of him suddenly made him frown. Not far away, there was a disharmonious voice coming from where the dice was playing, and someone was arguing.
Li Mu suddenly became unhappy. I'm very happy today. Which guy who is not very good at making trouble in my territory?
"Xiao Ai! Ajiu! It's done!"
Li Mu shouted softly, Dugu Jiu and Fang Yiai instantly realized that Dugu Jiu walked straight forward, while Fang Yiai walked out to call the idles at the door to maintain order. If the two parties in the dispute knew each other and were honest, it would be fine. Otherwise, they would have to apologize. Throw it out sideways and kill the chicken to warn the monkey.
Li Mu himself did not end up in person. As the noble Marquis of Zhulu and the owner of this place, he must hold his airs. Otherwise, even the cat and the dog would have to take care of it themselves, and the venue would not be opened again.
Li Mu pretended to be a big brother with a deep face. The script in his heart had been written until he threw the person out later. In front of the onlookers, he could not only suppress his position, but also seem to be less aggressive. The Marquis of Zhulu of the Tang Dynasty should be more amiable, otherwise how could the people love it...
"Brother!" Dugu Jiu suddenly raised his hand and waved it twice, making Li Mu go over. Li Mu was stunned and thought to himself, Who is causing trouble? Even Dugu Jiu can't handle it?
Suddenly, a person appeared in my mind. Li Mu thought to himself that it was bad, could it be him...
Li Mu quickly took two steps to come to him. As he thought, one of the two parties was Li Xiaogong. His opponent was not an outsider, but Li Mu's good disciple, Li Xiaogong's nephew, Li Tai, King of Yue.
Seeing Li Mu coming, Li Xiaogong suddenly felt energetic and grabbed Li Mu and said, "Boy, come and judge. There is no father or son in the casino. Is this a rule? Although I am the uncle of King Yue, one code will be the same. He just lost 100 coins to me, but he actually wanted to pay the debt and refuse to give it to me!"
Li Tai's face turned red and said, "Brother, this is not the case. We played three dices and bet on the size. I pressed the big ones, and he pressed the small ones, but when I opened them, I saw it-"
Li Xiaogong snatched the words: "There are six o'clock in total, not a small one?"
Li Tai said in grief and anger: "Why don't you tell me if you steal one of the dice?"
The onlookers also testified for Li Tai, saying that when they opened it, there were only two dices and the other disappeared.
Li Mu looked at Li Xiaogong speechlessly. He really didn't expect that on the first day of opening, there was a fraud, and it was the old guy Li Xiaogong, who frowned and said, "Prince, we have to be able to afford it. What's the point of stealing dice?"
One, two, three, four, five, six!
It's not six o'clock, but six dice, each of which is six o'clock.
Sixty-six, big! After a brief moment of daze, a mountain-like roar erupted!
Li Xiaogong's eyes were about to pop out. He touched the two dices in the left sleeve. Yes, right, there. Then he touched the dices in the right sleeve. Yes, there, there. But in front of him... he looked at Li Mu's sleeve that was rolled up, puzzled and said, "How did this be done?"
"Mr. Prince, I'm giving in. I originally wanted to be more low-key, but the prince is really aggressive. Why don't you think about it? I invented these instruments. Who can use methods in front of me? Why do I want to open a gambling shop? It's because I really have no opponent. People in the martial arts world are called the God of Gambling, it's me!"
"Do you know how lonely it is, invincible!"
Li Mu faced everyone and said, "I sincerely hope that one day you can have the level of challenging me. If you defeat me, you will be given ten thousand taels of gold. Of course, I don't have time to deal with challengers every day. Let's do this. Hold a "Challenge of Gambling Gods Competition" every year to decide a challenger. If you win me, you will get ten thousand taels of gold and the name of Gambling Gods. How about it?"
"good!!"
Everyone shouted, Li Mu blinked at Li Xiaogong, and said nothing, dragging Li Tai out of the crowd, Changsun Chong and others followed quickly.
When he arrived at a secluded place, Li Mu left his face and scolded, "Li Tai, you disappointed me very much. You should know that I don't like fat people. When I accepted you as my disciple, I thought that you were interested in learning and didn't want your talent to be buried, so I accepted you, fat people. But what about you? Changsun Chong has lost weight, and you have gained weight again! Have you worked hard?"
"I……"
"Don't explain!" Li Mu waved his hand and interrupted Li Tai's words, saying, "I saw the picture you drew for His Majesty a few days ago. Is that also called a map? What's that? Is this the knowledge you did?"
Li Tai was so anxious that his face turned red and his neck was thick, and he said, "Master, I recognize everything else, but that map is my hard work. My father praised me after seeing it, saying that he had never seen such a detailed map. It has been unique throughout history. How can you say it is bad?"
"I'm not convinced, right?" Li Mu had already thought of drawing a map of his previous life, but he didn't find a suitable opportunity. He always had full marks in geography classes in junior high school, and he was a class representative for two years. He relied on his ability to draw maps with bare hands. His craftsmanship on the blackboard was not inferior to his geography teacher at that time.
"Tomorrow you will bring your broken map and I will draw one for you personally to show you what a map is!"
When the students heard this, their eyes were about to pop out. In this era, there were very few people who could draw maps. And they could draw the territory map that Li Tai offered to Li Shimin, and they also marked it in such detail. There was indeed no second person, so Li Tai's conceit was definitely not arrogant.
