"My cheap master is not only a swordsman, but also a wine master."
"I don't remember exactly what year it was."
"I just remember that it was the first time that Master came to Xishan Island. Because the home-brewed wine on the island was fragrant, he stayed there for a while, and he also taught a group of us children a lot of tricks."
"One night, my mother told me a story about Master."
"In that story, the gambler was just a young man who was just starting to gain notoriety."
"He was tired of choosing, so he forced others to make choices."
"Although he can feel happy for a while after forcing him to make a choice, he can hardly find pleasure in the rest of the time."
"Until he found another outlet for his emotions - drinking."
"When he entered the territory of Suzhou, he was still a young boy who was just tasting wine for the first time."
"Huang Qingxuan, who first tasted the taste of wine, quickly became addicted to it and traveled around while tasting the fine wines from various places."
"After I came to Suzhou, I was annoyed because I couldn't taste the taste of a high-priced wine in Zuixiao Tower, which is said to be a place where you can get drunk in the sky and has thousands of kinds of wines."
"Set up a gambling game in the hall and invite all the guests, shopkeepers, and waiters in the building to gamble."
"I won the Xuan Pai, and since then I have been living in the Zuixiao Tower, drinking thousands of jars of wine every day, and I have to taste all the fine wines in the Zuixiao Tower before I stop. As for whether I will lose consciousness after being drunk.
Being killed represents unknown factors in the mysterious card that are beyond his control."
"If you get a yellow card, you will kill everyone in the restaurant that day."
"If he wins the green card, he will be compensated with thousands of gold equivalent to the net income of Zuixiao Tower for a whole year."
"Anyone present is eligible to draw cards. Of course, there is only one chance."
Xi Weiyu listened with gusto, her eyes lit up when she heard this, and said, "Of course the one who came out to settle this situation was your Sword Immortal Master. Could it be that the Sword Immortal was also very drunk when he was young, so he drank like you?
"
"Ahem, cough..." Jiang Yichen's cheeks stiffened for a moment, and he laughed at himself after a while, "Those who say that drinking can be practiced must be wine sellers. People like Master are born with a large amount of alcohol."
Xi Weiyu chuckled and asked, "Then your master's way of winning must be different from yours?"
"That's right. The master not only competed with the gambler in gambling, but also compared his drinking capacity with him. Before drawing the cards, he even asked the restaurant owner to bring out all the stored wines, threatening to make the gambler know what it means to have a high heaven and a high earth."
"At that time, Master had already gained a small reputation in the world. When the restaurant owner saw him coming to help rescue him, how could he not readily agree?"
"That gambling game was also a drinking game, and it lasted for three days and three nights."
"It attracted a lot of people and upset a lot of people. Most of the people in the restaurant were trembling with fear. Only those two people had a good time talking over the wine."
"In the end, the master easily drew the green card, and Huang Qingxuan sent the silver to Zuixiao Tower a few days later to fulfill the bet."
Xi Weiyu was stunned for a long time after hearing this, "Uh, is this the end?"
Jiang Yichen naturally understood why Xi Weiyu had such a reaction. He gave up the key at the most critical point.
"Even though Huang Qingxuan was born with strong internal energy and had perfected an internal skill, he had twice as much internal energy as others, but his ability to drink was not the same. After drinking for three days in a row, he finally became extremely drunk. Master
I waited for an opportunity to see the colors of the three cards in my hand, and then I easily drew the green card."
"Pfft! I never thought that the Sword Immortal would ever do such a shameless thing."
After understanding the whole story of the bet, Xi Weiyu couldn't help but smile and bend over.
"However, the gambler seems to be so kind, but he is actually not that easy to deal with. Didn't you realize that there was something fishy, or did you learn the details afterwards and became angry and went to the sword fairy to settle the score?"
Jiang Yichen shook his head and said, "Although the gambler is drunk and confused, he knows that the master has played a trick on him, but he just has no intention of telling the truth."
"When I heard the whole story, I couldn't ask the question as sharply as you did, but my mother saw the confusion in my heart."
"My mother said this, in life, no matter who you are, there will always be a few moments when you feel particularly lonely and need companionship."
"Huang Qingxuan buried his family members who loved him deeply with his own hands. He seemed to be freed, but he fell into infinite loneliness."
"The reason why he goes around making trouble for evil is just to get more people's attention, just like what his dead family did to him."
"It's just that the killings he caused have horrified the world. Ordinary people either regard him as a villain or a monster."
"But the master only regarded him as an ordinary drinker who drank to relieve his sorrows, and even taught him how to taste wine."
"Under such circumstances, it doesn't matter what the outcome of the bet is. As long as the result is in line with Master's wishes, Huang Qingxuan will do his best to do it." Tiantian
Xi Wei understood clearly and commented, "It's really not an easy story, but fortunately it has a happy ending. This kind of story is supposed to be a good story and spread in the market, but it seems that only you know what happened yesterday?"
Jiang Yichen said, "No, as long as the gambler and the swordsman are connected, there must be many people in the world who can remember this anecdote. However, after word of mouth, the original story is no longer the reality. Among them
The details are even more unknown.”
"Then the authenticity of your story is guaranteed?" Xi Weiyu just asked, and then suddenly realized, "The story your mother told you was told by the Sword Immortal himself!"
Jiang Yichen nodded and said with a smile, "Yes. It is said that the old man also went to Xishan Island that day. While everyone was drinking and chatting, I verified it from the master's mouth. There was another detail in it that taught me how to successfully borrow the money last night.
I came in the name of Master to have a personal relationship with Huang Qingxuan."
Xi Weiyu rolled her eyes and said, "Are you still showing off?"
Jiang Yichen said, "Mother said that Master emphasized something to Huang Qingxuan three times before and after drawing the cards."
What happened last night was still very clear in his mind. Xi Weiyu quickly recalled Jiang Yichen's words that he repeated three times and imitated, "He bet that Huang Qingxuan will give those silver coins to Zuixiao Tower?"
"Children can be taught. I heard from my mother that Master has a special saying about this when he tells stories. Important things must be emphasized three times."
"Hehe, it's really interesting. So, the resentful look Huang Qingxuan showed last night was not because he was angry at being teased by you, but because he felt sorry that a jar of fine wine was wasted in vain by you, a person who doesn't understand wine!"
Jiang Yichen couldn't find any reason to refute, and said sarcastically, "Maybe so."
Fortunately, Xi Weiyu didn't hold on to his embarrassment and continued, "It's really a coincidence. A gambler comes to set up a gambling game, and you happen to know how to break it..."
Jiang Yichen interjected, "What if I say this is not a coincidence?"
"Isn't it a coincidence?" Seeing that Jiang Yichen didn't seem to be joking, Xi Weiyu was stunned.
"I also thought that everything that happened last night was a coincidence. After all, it was a coincidence that Gu Ye and Yu Le caught your whereabouts, it was a coincidence that I met you, and Huang Qingxuan's appearance was also a coincidence."
"If there are too many coincidences, they will no longer be coincidences?"
"These coincidences are not coincidences, but things that could have happened. The real coincidence is that these things that could have happened happened to happen one after another at the same time."
Xiwei said, holding her forehead, "Why do I feel a little confused..."
"It's rare to be confused sometimes." Jiang Yichen had just put on an old-fashioned demeanor when he felt the sharp gaze from Xi Weiyu and immediately said honestly, "At first, I just didn't understand why gamblers and crazy husbands appeared together.
After the arrival of Zhuiyue, some questions were easily solved. With this drunkenness, I figured everything out after I woke up."
Xi Weiyu didn't care whether Jiang Yichen could see or not, she just looked at him sideways, her eyes filled with several lines of "Speak quickly, speak quickly", and said nothing else.
Jiang Yichen smacked his lips, feeling that something was missing. He felt the eyes on his face becoming more and more fierce, so he had no choice but to express what he had realized.
"If you haven't changed your plan, when you set out today, there will be more than just three obstacles standing in the way. In such a chaotic situation, what other strategies are there to break the situation apart from carving a bloody path?"
"What will happen if gamblers and crazy husbands appear again at that time?"
"Unless all parties join forces, no party, or only three or four parties, dare to confront these two men."
"The purposes of all parties are different. Once there are casualties on one's own side, the other side will have evil intentions and secretly commit crimes."
"And it is absolutely impossible for all parties to stand on a united front."
"The only thing we can do is to accept the bet proposed by Huang Qingxuan."
"After all, it is a matter of life and death. No one will stand up and take a gamble in a short period of time."
Xi Weiyu clapped her hands and said in surprise, "You are the only one who dares to bet on this game if you have the chance to win!"
Then he looked suspicious and said, "So, the interesting person who arranged for the gambler and the madman to appear is the old man?"
"It doesn't have to be the old man."
Even Jiang Yichen's own tone contained a lot of hesitation.
After leaving Yin Yang Valley, he got in touch with the old man in the shortest possible time.
Before this, who could have predicted ten days ago that he would show up here to break the gambler's trap?
As far as he knew, the old man had indeed never left Jiangning County in recent times.
The only conclusion he could come up with was that the strategy of inviting a crazy gambler to join the game did exist ten days ago. It was just because of his intervention that the original plan was adjusted during the implementation process, just like the timely arrival of Chasing the Moon last night.
Compared to the old man, Luo Piaoling is more likely.
However, in Jiang Yichen's opinion, there are probably other candidates who can be that interesting person.
Two figures appeared in my mind, one was a young lady in white robes, and the other was a strange man hidden under a black robe and mask. It seemed that for a moment, the two figures overlapped...
