The three of them chatted for half an hour and settled on the gambling house. Zhu Cang went to Xidu to run the first gambling house and secretly started to recruit people. He still had more than a thousand taels of silver in his hand, which should be enough.
,
By the way, I can also use the trick to get some more wool from Xushan.
However, Li Mo did not elaborate on the specific games played in the casino.
There is no mahjong and solitaire right now, and even if I tell them the rules, they still can't understand them. It won't be too late to teach them mahjong and solitaire when I have some free time.
agreed,
Li Mo went to the book hall and began to compile the transcripts of "Dream of Red Mansions" and "Journey to the West". The complete version of "Dream of Red Mansions" would be completed in two days, and that would be the day when Zhao Hai left for the Western Capital.
Xue Song and Wang Changling left Yibo Tower and went to the manor outside the city.
After several leaps and bounds, after leaving the city, the two of them walked and chatted.
"Xue Langjun, what do you think my lord is worried about or what is he guarding against?"
Wang Changling said casually.
"Sir, did you also notice it?"
Hearing this, Xue Song actually stopped.
"Well! My lord is extremely talented and has the ability to enter the court and serve as an official. In addition, he is a member of the Li clan and has unique conditions. However, he is unwilling to show his face and only wants to be an unknown person in this eastern capital.
Mr. Book Writer, even this time when I sent books to Xidu for appreciation, my lord asked Xiao Hai to go."
Wang Changling asked out his doubts.
If other members of the Li clan had the ability of their lord, they would have returned to the clan to seek official careers for themselves, but his lord is very taboo about this.
It's really hard to understand.
The same goes for setting up Qingfeng Pavilion.
Yibo Lou could obviously afford to support a newly established sect, but in the end he chose a small business like a gambling house in order to prevent Qingfeng Pavilion from getting involved with Yibo Lou.
There are also meals such as hot pot.
If my lord presented this kind of meal to the palace, he would definitely receive a heavy reward, but he let everyone in Yibo Tower try it first.
"Well, it was the same thing that day when Mr. Shi was fighting against the Lord of Poetry in the east of the city. He didn't want to come forward and asked me to be the master of Yibo Tower... It was also the same thing that Xu Shan from Yunyi Book Club and Zuixian Tower did behind the scenes.
Instead of trying our best to deal with it, we just taught them a lesson with ordinary suppression methods like Business Dao."
Xue Song nodded in agreement.
He couldn't understand this either.
"Could it be because the Li family...the relationship within the royal family is complicated, some people want to harm the lord or deliberately suppress it, or the lord unintentionally offends the royal family, so the lord can only endure it secretly,
Otherwise, the lord would not be able to come to the Eastern Capital alone to establish his own business, and it would be more convenient in the Eastern Capital.
Today’s discussion about Jianghu is even more proof..."
Wang Changling touched his beard and guessed.
Apart from that, he really couldn't think of any other reason to explain it.
"Sir, what you said makes sense!"
Xue Song thought and nodded in agreement.
He also had such thoughts.
"In this case, we must pay more attention to your lord's own safety. Unfortunately, your lord is a scholar and does not know martial arts. Even if you start learning now, it is too late... Otherwise, if you let your lord learn martial arts, even if I go out to do business.
It also makes me feel more at ease.”
After a pause, Xue Song said worriedly.
Sometimes Li Mo goes out of the city alone, and Xue Song is actually worried that Keyi Bolou will not be able to leave. As more and more things happen later, this kind of thing will definitely happen often.
Once Xu Shan was in a hurry and caused trouble in the middle of the road, they would be too late to save him.
"Actually, there is no way to improve my lord's martial arts!"
After hearing what Xue Song said, Wang Changling's expression changed.
Xue Song was worried about exactly what he was worried about.
They can't stay by their lord's side all the time, the only way is to improve their lord's strength.
"Oh? Sir, do you have a secret method?"
Xue Song said hurriedly.
"I have a good friend named Li Taibai, also known as Qinglian layman. He has a secret method in his hand that can elevate a weak scholar who has no power to bind a chicken to a sixth-level warrior in a short period of time."
Wang Changling nodded.
"Priest Qinglian? Is that the rumored ninth-grade swordsman?"
Xue Song's heart trembled.
Li Taibai's name is definitely regarded as a top master in the world, and his reputation spreads far and wide. I didn't expect that he had such secret skills.
"Well, then my old friend has just left the Qingxiu Mountain in Shushan and entered the world. He is obsessed with good wine and good food, so it is just right for him to come and taste the lord's hot pot meal. Moreover, my old friend is full of talents, so he can do it when he comes.
Let’s spar with my lord.”
Wang Changling smiled resolutely.
He believed that as long as Li Taibai tasted hot pot, this matter would definitely come true.
"Then please sir!"
"We are all our own people, why do we need to speak foreign languages? Let's go, it's getting late... Let's go see what's going on in the manor first?"
"good!"
After a moment, the two figures disappeared into the moonlight one after another.
.........
The moon sets, the sun rises,
Not to mention what happened to Li Mo, as soon as Zuixianlou opened, Xu Shan sat down in an elegant room on the second floor early. Not long after, the steward led Zhao Hai to the door.
"Sir, this slave brought Mr. Zhao Xiaolang in through the back door, and no one saw it!"
The steward whispered.
"Please come quickly!"
Hearing this, Xu Shan stood up quickly.
After some superficial greetings, after Zhao Hai sat down and ordered someone to serve tea, Xu Shan then looked at Zhao Hai.
"I heard that the young man and your husband have been unhappy recently. I wonder if the young man made a mistake?"
Xu Shan got straight to the point and went straight to the point.
Recently, he just wanted to drive a wedge between Zhao Hai and Li Mo, and make Zhao Hai one of his own.
"Huh? How does Boss Xu know?"
Zhao Hai raised his eyebrows, pretending to be surprised.
He was thinking secretly in his heart, "This old guy really has a lot of spies, but it's better this way, just as Lang Jun asked me to accompany you to perform a show."
"It seems like it should be!"
Seeing this, Xu Shan smiled confidently.
"Huh, actually it's not my fault. It's just that Li Mo wrote the Journey to the West and became a little arrogant and unkind."
Zhao Hai sighed, pretending to be disappointed and unhappy.
"Oh? Mr. Xiaolang, can you tell me in detail?"
Xu Shan and the restaurant manager looked at each other, with the corners of their mouths slightly raised.
"Hmph, to be honest, Li Mo's "Journey to the West" The Legend of Shi'e became a big hit because of our family's contribution. Many of the plots were written by me, he just told them... I originally thought that "Journey to the West"
After Shie Chuan became popular, it would give our family some monthly salary increase. Unexpectedly, Li Mo was so ungrateful. Instead of not increasing his monthly salary, he started to squeeze out people everywhere... How can our family bear this anger?
He is just a lecturer,
If Xue Song and Xue Langjun, the master of Yibo Tower, had not taken him in, would he be where he is today?"
Zhao Hai's performance is very similar, his expression and tone are lifelike, as if he has really suffered a huge grievance.
"So it's like this...The young gentleman has really been wronged a lot. No wonder...Old He, hurry up and serve tea to the young gentleman!"
Xu Shan touched his beard, his eyes shining brightly.
"Thank you, Boss Xu... By the way, I wonder why Boss Xu came to our house today..."
Zhao Hai was not polite and took a sip of the tea from the steward before saying.
