Xu Mu said: "Don't worry, this time we will find a way to make the Chen family spit out the money and profits. Oh, drink gruel. Did you want to block my slap on the way back last night?"
He Qizhou was stunned and saw that Xu Mu spoke casually but had a serious expression. He smiled and said: "Look at how your small body can withstand that slap. Don't worry, I'm afraid of death. I wore a protective suit before going out yesterday afternoon."
With the nail inside, the slap on the body is no different from an ordinary massage."
Xu Mu laughed loudly and said: "I don't want to be beaten? Are you clueless? I am a person at the peak of the five meridians. If you have a good fight, that Long Yin will knock you out with one palm."
It’s not even in my eyes. If that palm is really going to come down, will a guy like you with no internal strength be able to wear armor?"
Xu Mu saw He Qizhou pouting and shaking his head with an expression of disbelief, and said seriously: "No matter what, I still want to thank you!"
He Qizhou was a little flattered. He bumped Xu Mu beside him with his shoulder and said, "Brother, let's see each other!"
Lin Chuan also said: "Xu Shaoxia, I don't know Mr. Xiao, but since you appeared outside Jianghu Tower, you are the person I admire the most."
He Qizhou's eyes widened and he said angrily: "Oh, Mu Mu, are you really stupid? What about me? What's that look in your eyes?"
Lin Chuan was also a little embarrassed and said humbly: "Master, actually I have always admired you."
Xu Mu was really a little uncomfortable with being hit just now. He was thinking about something. After listening to the conversation between the two of them, he chuckled and said, "I believe it somewhat. I guess Chi Yuan's palm really can't hurt you?"
He Qizhou was even more proud. He raised his head and asked, "Well, I have gained a lot of experience. How did you see it?"
Xu Mu said: "You are so thick-skinned, how can your skin be so thin?"
He Qizhou lowered his face and said: "It's too much, it's too much!" He raised his foot and kicked him, but Xu Mu's kick was accurate. It was not easy for him to hit Xu Mu. The three of them were fighting.
After a while, we arrived at a small restaurant by the pier.
The small restaurant is really small. It is a two-story wooden building. There are three small wooden tables for four people on each floor. There is a cloth tent on the side along the river, and two tea stalls under the cloth tent.
The small building is only about ten steps away from the river. The wharf is on the north side of the small building. The Bailian River is extremely wide here. The wharf is a wooden plank road that goes more than ten feet deep into the river and is more than a hundred steps long along the river.
There are six or seven boats moored at the pier. Except for the passenger ship bound for Jinling, the others are all small boats. There is still a large section free for the clerks to watch. They should be waiting for the fleet to transport food to dock. The small restaurant is at the pier.
At the southernmost end, except for Li Jichen, Zhang Qingrou and the grandson surnamed Luo on the second floor, there are no other guests. They must have all boarded the ship.
After Xu Mu and He Qizhou found Li Jichen, they told what happened to the couple in the pavilion, and then begged to stay for two more days to find a way to rescue the twins. Li Jichen pondered for a long time and said: "If you want, please stay for two more days.
, don’t use force easily, pay attention to your own safety, and He Qizhou and Lin Chuan, you must think clearly, if you miss the boat the day after tomorrow, you can go back to Jiangjun County directly."
Zhang Qingrou also wanted to stay and help, but Li Jichen refused and said: "You are a little girl and you want to go to a brothel to find someone? I promised Magistrate Zhang to escort you to Jinling. Your father is already very worried. Do you still want him?"
Are you worried about something else in your heart? Besides, your master and junior brother are still waiting for you in Aurous Hill."
Zhang Qingrou had no choice but to say goodbye to He Qizhou and the others, and boarded the ship with Li Jichen. After seeing off Li Jichen and his party, the three of them asked for some food in the small building and discussed what to do. Lin Chuan said that he would grab rice tiles one by one, but Xu
Mu and Qi Zhou stopped talking after they were despised. Xu Mu said that he would disguise himself as a wealthy businessman and ask if there were any twins in the brothel, and then pretend that he wanted to buy them as maids, and then rob them when he saw them.
He Qizhou sneered and said, "Have you ever been to a brothel? Will people pay attention to you if you don't spend some money first?"
Xu Mu said: "Hey, little guy, have you ever visited a brothel? I can't tell that you are quite romantic."
He Qizhou said: "What are you talking about? I look innocent and innocent. Do I look like this kind of person? But last time when I helped this wood to file a lawsuit, I went to the brothel to inquire about the news. Although I didn't go in, I still knew something about it.
What's going on? It's too risky to force it. Your method is good, but you're just short of money."
Xu Mu patted his head and said: "The casino in Jiangling Mansion is also run by the Chen family. Let's go rob the casino first, and then go to the brothel to redeem people when we have money."
He Qizhou stroked his palm and said: "What a brilliant idea, but let me ask you, you robbed so much money in the casino and then immediately went to the brothel next door to buy someone, do you really think they are blind?"
Xu Mu said angrily: "Are you looking for a fight? This won't work, and that won't work either, so you should think of a way!"
He Qizhou said: "The mountain people have their own clever plan. We will neither rob rice shops nor casinos nor brothels. Let's go to the casinos first to win money, and then go to the brothels to find girls..."
Xu Mu said: "Looking for a girl? What kind of girl are you looking for?"
"Of course she's a girl from a brothel"
"Does that mean we have to stay overnight with him?" Xu Mu said coldly.
Lin Chuan, who had been holding back his words, shouted: "No, no!"
He Qizhou said anxiously: "What are you all thinking about? What a joke! Am I that kind of person? Don't you think that some words can only be transmitted naturally through the girls in the brothel? Just go and ask the Madam the twins
His whereabouts? Isn’t that just asking for it? And Lin Chuan, I noticed that you are becoming more and more outrageous. You have to take care of everything. Why, you don’t dare to go to the brothel? Do you have someone in your heart? Be honest! "
Lin Chuan's face turned red all of a sudden. He lowered his head and thought hard. Suddenly he came up with something to say. He raised his head and said: "Madam has been telling us repeatedly before we set off that we can't go to casinos, we can't go to brothels, we can't
If you go for a drink, you can’t force yourself to do it, didn’t you agree to it?”
He Qizhou smiled helplessly and said: "You're such a idiot, you've learned tongue twisters. Think about it for yourself, why do you want to go to a brothel or a casino? I'll ask you again, I'm going tonight. Are you going? If you keep nagging me, I'll keep it.
Let’s look after the house.”
Lin Chuan said: "Go, if you can save people, go! I promise not to interrupt again."
Xu Mu said: "Then why do you think you can definitely win money in the casino?"
"Yes, wasn't Luo Yu's father deceived into bankruptcy in a casino?" Lin Chuan couldn't help but asked again.
He Qizhou glared at Lin Chuan and said, "Who said you won't interrupt? If that casino doesn't have tricks, I'm really not sure. I just want to take advantage of their tricks!"
Xu Mu's eyes lit up and he said: "Oh, how sure are you? Tell me how to bet?"
He Qizhou said: "To be honest, I have never been to a casino, but I have heard from my third uncle about some of the secrets behind casino brothels, and I am probably more than 50% sure."
Xu Mu rolled his eyes, revealing a large white area of his eyes, and sighed: "What's the difference between that and trying your luck!"
He Qizhou no longer hid it, and told the two of them his thoughts on how to gamble. After hearing this, Xu Mu's eyes became brighter and he said: "Well, I think it's feasible, and there's one last question -
—Gambling money.”
He Qizhou and Lin Chuan both looked at Xu Mu, and He Qizhou said: "You are a distinguished guest living in Dangui Residence. How about you pay for your gambling money first?"
Xu Mu said awkwardly: "I don't have much money around me, why don't I borrow some from Magistrate Zhang?"
He Qizhou said angrily: "Didn't you realize that he borrowed money from the cook yesterday? Forget it, the three of us will take out all the money first and see how much we have?"
The three of them rummaged through their bags and spread out all the money on the small meal. He Qizhou had twelve taels left, and Lin Chuan had thirty-seven taels plus more than four hundred copper coins. What was so disappointing was that Xu Mu had only ten taels.
Xu Mu also felt a little embarrassed and said: "After traveling with Master for half a year, I donated all the remaining money at Yuantong Temple, leaving some boat fare for one or two days. In this way,
From now on, when you arrive in the capital, all your food and accommodation expenses will be mine, how about that?"
He Qizhou said: "Okay! It's refreshing enough. Now there are sixty taels in total, twenty taels per person. When we leave the casino, the goal is one thousand taels!"
Lin Chuan's eyes widened, a little unbelievable, but Xu Mu looked very confident and said: "It's agreed, one thousand taels!"
He Qizhou raised the water glass in his hand and said: "Then let's drink water instead of wine and wish the evening a success!" Seeing Lin Chuan and Xu Mu raising their glasses, he suddenly shouted: "Oops, that deceiving stinker yesterday afternoon
The mother-in-law brought a group of people, they must be either brothels or thugs from the casino. They have seen our appearance, how can we pretend to be rich people and go to the brothels? "
Xu Mu pointed at his nose and said, "No big deal, I'll take care of this."
He Qizhou said: "Look at my memory, how could I forget the Emei disguise technique?"
Xu Mu asked: "Tell me, how old are you?"
"Eighteen, there are still more than three months left," He Qizhou answered first.
"Seventeen, there are still more than four months left," Lin Chuan replied.
Xu Mu hummed and said: "Two little brats, you have to be older. Let's do this. He Qizhou, I'll make your makeup look bigger. What age do you think is more appropriate?"
He Qizhou said angrily: "Look, you're not that old, you're still a kid. Tell me, how old are you? In what month were you born?"
Xu Mu said: "What are you talking about? How about you come to disguise yourself? Tell me quickly, how old do you want to be?"
He Qizhou said: "Eighteen, can it be done?"
Xu Mu snorted coldly and said angrily: "An eighteen-year-old playboy? He often goes to casinos and brothels? Do you believe it? Stop talking, twenty-eight, there are wives and concubines at home, remember to lower your voice and behave
Don’t be too exaggerated, just be more mature.”
He Qizhou said angrily: "Do as you like, like a girl. If you don't tell me your age, I will treat you as my little brother from now on."
Lin Chuan asked anxiously: "How old will I be?"
Xu Mu ignored He Qizhou and said to Lin Chuan: "You are quite suitable at sixteen or seventeen years old. It is just right for you to play this book boy who gambles and perverts."
He Qizhou just took a sip of water and couldn't help but spit it out. Fortunately, he turned his head in time so that he didn't spray it on others, and said: "Brother, be more generous, I won't be as hurtful as you."
Lin Chuan said: "Didn't those little girls from the Liu family call you that when you were little?"
He Qizhou looked at the two guys who were laughing, stood up, sat down again, waved his hand and said: "I'm so angry that we can't talk anymore!"
