The gambler in the green ghost mask roared in celebration, and after a while of carnival, he took away half of the chips on the table, while Ginkgo took the other half back - he still lost a lot, but Ginkgo felt distressed for a while
.The young man on the side watched blankly as all the chips on the table and his jade pendant were taken away. In the end, only the empty table and his empty wallet were left.
His eyes were so empty that he seemed to have no life at all.
After a moment, he stood up tremblingly and almost stumbled. Someone next to him wanted to help him, but the young man pushed him away in anger, and at the same time yelled: "Fuck you!"
What's the matter? I want you to take care of it?"
"Is there something wrong with you? You can't afford to lose? Are you ready to lose?" The person who was kindly helping him suddenly became angry and kicked the young man. The young man without saying a word picked up the bench to fight back. The croupier in the shop came in a hurry upon seeing this.
Pull the two of them apart,
Then they pushed and pushed the young man who was attacking and provoking trouble out of the door. It was already dark.
Unable to see the road clearly, the young man lost his footing and fell headlong into the mud.
Imagawa Yoshimoto and Ginkgo quickly followed out - Imagawa Yoshimoto was afraid of something happening, while Ginkgo wanted money.
At the door, there was already another young man in coarse clothes waiting there. After seeing the masked young man being driven out, he shook his head helplessly and said: "Brother, how much have you lost?"
Ginkgo suddenly frowned - Imagawa Yoshimoto knew what she was thinking - looking at the poor appearance of this young man in coarse clothes, this family doesn't look very rich. Can they really afford to pay back the money? And he
The younger brother clearly knew that he was gambling, which was inconsistent with his previous statement that "the family didn't know". Could he be lying?
Just when Ginkgo wanted to question the young gambler, the young man got up on his own, solemnly took off his mask and threw it on the roadside. He straightened his messed up clothes and said in a cold voice: "Second brother
,pay them back,
A total of five taels of gold, thirteen taels of silver, and thirty-seven cents."
After taking off the mask, the young man's demeanor in his words and deeds was that of a cold and decisive veteran, completely different from the cowardly, conceited, and poor psychological gambler under the mask just now.
Imagawa Yoshimoto and Ginkgo were both stunned when they saw this.
"Brother, do you lose so much every time you come here?" Another boy complained, and then he took out ten taels of gold from his pocket and gave it to Imagawa Yoshimoto, "I'm too lazy to look for it, so let's do it." Then, and
The young man was ready to leave.
"Uh..." Imagawa Yoshimoto hesitated for a moment. Although he felt that the changes in this young gambler were a bit scary, he still decided to stop them. At the same time, he raised his hand, holding the jade pendant that the young man had just gambled away.
: "I spent money to redeem this jade pendant before I left. Do you want to take it back? Anyway, the money your brother just gave me is much more than the ransom. Isn't this your family heirloom?"
"Oh?" The young man was quite surprised when he heard this. He turned half around, stretched out his hand to take the jade pendant, and whispered "thank you" in a low voice.
Then, he calmly told his brother: "Then let the ninja come back. There is no need to kill the guy who won my jade pendant."
Imagawa Yoshimoto and Ginkgo took a breath of cold air at the same time.
"This person is too cruel, right?
Will they kill us too for not paying back the money?" Ginkgo carefully whispered in Imagawa Yoshimoto's ear, "But I think the two of us should be able to defeat them.
But sir, don’t you have a knife? Can you hit someone with your folding fan?”
However, Imagawa Yoshimoto recognized this face in the blurry moonlight, although it had changed somewhat compared to seven years ago.
"Miyoshi building a front guard?" Imagawa Yoshimoto asked tentatively.
The young man stopped instantly, and then a strong murderous aura arose, which made Gingko almost stop standing and screamed in surprise.
"Take off the mask and don't make any unnecessary movements." Miyoshi Changqing turned around coldly, with murderous intent clearly visible in his eyes.
"I have no intention of conflicting with you, but I would like to advise you that if we fight two against two, you may not be an opponent." Imagawa Yoshimoto slowly took off his mask and threw it aside, while touching the folding fan in his arms.
"Imagawa Yoshimoto?" Miyoshi Nagakei frowned and thought for a moment, then called out Imagawa Yoshimoto's name.
"It would be rude to call him by his first name." Imagawa Yoshimoto said in a low voice without saltiness.
"Ha, I still care about these meaningless red tapes as before." Miyoshi Changqing sneered twice, then shook his head, and said to the second brother Miyoshi Yixian who was also on guard behind him, "Second brother, there is no hostility.
It’s okay if you’re an acquaintance, no need to take action.”
After saying that, Miyoshi Nagakei turned to look at Imagawa Yoshimoto and asked in a low voice: "Would you like to take a gamble?"
"I'm happy to accompany you." Imagawa Yoshimoto happily agreed, and at the same time winked at Ginkgo: "You should go back first, Ginkgo, I will accompany Miyoshi Chikuzen to enjoy the moon."
Ginkgo nodded knowingly. After all, she didn't know what Sanhao Changqing was going to do, so it would be better to go back and report for help earlier.
Imagawa Yoshimoto and Miyoshi Nagakei walked among the moonlit mountains. Finally, Imagawa Yoshimoto broke the silence:
"What do you want to bet on, Chikuzen-dono?"
"I bet you'll ask me a question." Miyoshi Changqing responded with a smile.
"Then you won the bet." Imagawa Yoshimoto also smiled, and then he no longer concealed his surprise, "I really didn't expect that the person who revived the family within 10 years was praised by the world as 100% correct and decisive in killing.
, the perfect family governor who has no tricks left, is actually so reckless and timid in the casino."
"It's just acting." Sanhao Changqing responded calmly.
"I think so too." Imagawa Yoshimoto didn't expect Miyoshi Nagakei to admit it so readily, "Then why did Miyoshi Chikuzen deliberately play such a clumsy role in the casino? It's not necessarily just to test me, right? It stands to reason.
He said, Miyoshi Chikuzen probably didn’t know that he would meet me here by chance.”
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "No, I mean that I usually act." Miyoshi Changqing corrected seriously.
"I mean, he plays the perfect family governor who is always 100% correct, decisive in killing, and has no plans left." Miyoshi Nagakei turned his head and showed a weird smile to Imagawa Yoshimoto, "You are in the casino.
The reckless and cowardly gambler I met is the real 'Three Good Things and Everlasting Happiness'."
Imagawa Yoshimoto was stunned for a long time, then he laughed dumbly and said: "Miyoshi Chikuzen was joking."
"I'm not joking." Miyoshi Changqing suppressed his smile and repeated again.
"I don't understand." After a long silence, Imagawa Yoshimoto replied honestly.
"How could you not understand? This is something that even children understand." Miyoshi Nagakei chuckled, obviously feeling even more incomprehensible to Imagawa Yoshimoto's incomprehension:
"When we were babies, adults would tell us that a good baby shouldn't cry. When we get older, they would tell us that a good child should be diligent and polite. Even though we didn't understand anything at the time.
, in order to get the love and praise of adults, you will naturally try to play the image of a 'good boy' in their eyes, right? If you follow your own nature and do what you want to do, if you stay true to yourself——
If you are naughty, crying, and willful, you will be disliked by adults."
"That's right..." Imagawa Yoshimoto recalled the memories of when he was a child and tried hard to act like a good child in order not to be sent to become a monk by the Imagawa clan and Shouguini, and suddenly he understood what Miyoshi Nagakei was talking about.
"It's the same when we grow up. We are still acting, playing the role of a good family governor. Satisfying the retainers, satisfying the relatives, and satisfying the elders. Only by satisfying everyone can we protect the family and ourselves." Miyoshi Changqing.
He raised his hand and pointed at his head with his index finger:
"I am just acting, playing those good housekeepers recognized by everyone in history. Whenever I encounter anything, whenever I meet anyone, even in every moment when I am not alone, I
I would all think: 'What should I do if I am a good governor?'. Then I would imitate, act, and put on the mask of a 'perfect governor'. I would naturally become a 'perfect governor' and win the favor of retainers and the world.
unanimously praised.”
"Isn't this very tiring?" Imagawa Yoshimoto showed a wry smile. Just thinking about such days is a bit painful, "Wearing a mask all day long, acting all day long, even in front of the closest people, I am still performing.
Aren’t you tired?”
"But if you don't use a mask to cover up your ugly face, no one will like you." Miyoshi Changqing stopped and turned around, looking in the direction of the casino in the distance, "I am the real Miyoshi Changqing in the casino.
'The way it should be. When you gamble, you don't use your brain and just care about having fun. After you lose all your money, you start to regret it. You borrow money like crazy and want to get your money back. In the end, you just lose more and more. When you lose, you start to curse and hit people. You will like it.
That kind of person? If you were a retainer or a relative, would you like such a household governor? No. But that's how I was when I was a child."
"When you were a child?" Imagawa Yoshimoto was a little confused, "When I first met His Highness Chikuzen, he was only 14 years old, right? Wasn't he a child at that time?"
"I grew up the day my father died." Miyoshi Changqing replied deliberately indifferently, but the sadness in his words could not be hidden. "I was such a gambler when I was a child. Even my younger brother couldn't gamble.
On weekdays, my brain is relatively good, but once I get to the gambling table, I become completely irrational. I go out to gamble in casinos every day, and when I lose all my money, I go home and get beaten. But even if I am banned from home, I will still gamble quietly with my guards and retainers.
.But I really like the feeling of gambling. I like the tension of surrendering to fate after betting everything. I like the feeling of being reborn when I win. Even the delicious feeling when I lose everything is fascinating."
"But when I was 10 years old, my father died and I became the superintendent of the Sanhao family. Everything changed and all the burdens fell on me. If I continue like this, continue to go my own way, and continue to reveal my true self, there will be no
The retainers will continue to support me, and no one in the world will recognize the Sanhao family. The Sanhao family will fail, and I might die, as will my brothers. After understanding this, I started performing and put on the mask of the 'good family governor'
, performed day and night.”
"I am diligent, I love the people, I am kind to the deployment, respect the retainers, I love the soldiers like my own children, and lead by example. I am calm, I am calm, I put the interests of the family first in everything, I kill decisively, and I calculate every step. In fact, I don't know
What's the point of doing this? But I only know that the successful governors in history were like this, and the retainers and the world liked them. So I imitated them, and I actually achieved a lot by acting.
Career. Haha, it's really ironic. There are so many mediocre people in the world who can't even perform. Our ancestors have so many successful experiences. As long as you are willing to imitate, you can succeed."
