At the stalemate, only one person shouted: "Daohe! Daohe!" A handsome young man ran over in panting and was about twenty years old, and was born with a righteous view of five views. Jianmei Langxing was named Mao Dezu, a man from Yangwu in Xingyang.
, with few great ambitions, he is also a friend of Liu Muzhi in times of trouble, and he often talks with each other
"Daohe, let me find it easy. What's the anger of you and a group of slaves?" Mao Dezu grabbed Liu Muzhi and said, "Let's go, go, go, I have something big to discuss with you."
After saying that, he glanced at the servants and said, "You can give me some tricks, huh?"
Liu Muzhi spat at everyone, ignored the group of people and left! Everyone did not dare to make things difficult for them. Mao Dezu's name was even bigger than Liu Muzhi. It is said that he was Liu Yu, the general of the Northern Palace, since he was a child.
The big friend is just lazy, so he has not joined the army. However, everyone has seen his ruthlessness in the past. He is the one who wants to kick three times when he sees a tree. Everyone dares not mess with him. Besides,
So brave and fierce, Mao Dezu is also a gambler, with a strong heart and a virtuous person, and everyone can't afford to offend him.
A bald and thin man shouted: "He is a dog to kill, but this bundle of firewood is enough for our family to burn for two days."
The fat man spat hard and said, "You guy is just a little bit of a success. Humph, let them be proud now. Wait until we tell Mr. Diao, let's see how to deal with them.
Liu Mao and his two walked together, and Liu Muzhi suddenly remembered something and said, "My Chaihe?"
"Oh! What kind of firewood are you looking for? I'm here to bring you wealth." Mao Dezu curled his lips
"What wealth? My eyes are red?" Liu Muzhi smiled lightly. Mao Dezu actually knew very well. He had great ambitions, but he was not greedy for wealth. Otherwise, it would be based on his relationship with Liu Yu, who is now at the peak of his life.
, What does he want
Mao Dezu's eyes lit up and said, "Didn't you go to Jingkou to check it out? Mobing's notice was posted all over the streets."
"So what?" Liu Muzhi smiled, "This is the number of recruitment in five years. Besides, you are more calm than me when recruiting troops in the past few times? What's wrong with this time?"
"Haha, this time, it's different, because Ji Nu wrote me a letter," Mao Dezu said proudly, "Look, he said, I want me to seize this opportunity, because the soldiers recruited by Jingkou this time are only needed.
If it is our Jingkou soldiers, they will all be under Jinu's control."
After Mao Dezu finished speaking, Liu Muzhi fell into deep thought.
"How is it? Daohe, our origins are without military merits, and we will never have to make a name for ourselves. In the past, I was unwilling to join the army. It was because I was not ready, and you were not ready, but now it is different. You and I will join the army together and kill you
Central Plains, with your and my abilities, you still have a title of marquis and ministers?”
A crystal light flashed in Liu Muzhi's eyes, and then it darkened again. "Haha, Brother Mao, do you still don't understand? What kind of world is this? Well? You, me, and Ji Nu, hehe, they are all commoners!
”
"But Jinu is now working as a servant in the Northern Palace. He has only been a few years ago and is now famous all over the world!" Mao Dezu said.
Liu Muzhi smiled bitterly and said, "Don't think he is a powerful general in the Northern Palace, but I tell you that no matter how great his contributions are, he cannot be granted the title of Hou Gong, and the court will not let Ji Nu truly control the military power. The gentry of the Gaomen is born to be an official.
He is just Yipo Shit. He is still an official and led the imperial army several times to the Northern Expedition. How could he succeed? Zu Shi is a great hero, so what will happen? Let's go to the Central Plains to die, so I won't do it!"
Mao Dezu was immediately thrown into Java after he said something, and the ambition was thrown to Java. The person was shorter and sighed, "Do you and I really have no future in this life?"
Liu Muzhi laughed and said, "Wait, wait, wait, you have to wait for the opportunity, you can get it back with just one bet!"
"Then what are we doing now?"
"Gambling! Wei Diaokui's money goes"
Speaking of Pipu, Mao Dezu's eyes were bright and he slapped his thigh, "Okay! Let's go!"
Jingkou was originally deserted and barren. Since the Jin court crossed the south, the scholars and common people crossed the river. In order to avoid the war, the refugees hoped to return to their hometown. Jingkou became their gathering place. Fanyang Zuti, Bohai Diao Xie, Yingchuan Yu Liang, Dongguan Xu Chengzhi, Zang Kun
After Xi Jian built Jingkou soldiers in Jingkou, Jingkou became a powerful vassal in Jiankang and the capital of Yangzhou.
,There are many wealthy families in the city, and the shops are gathered
Liu Muzhi and Mao Dezu entered the city from the north gate of Jingkou. The city walls were built tall and solid. The city gate was harsh and harsh. Jin soldiers wearing crimson uniforms entered the city. The streets were filled with ragged refugees, under the scorching sun.
Or lying under a tree, if curled up under the eaves, your pitiful eyes look at the flowing crowd
Most of these were avoiding chaos and crossing the river from the Jianghuai River in recent years. There have been constant wars between Qin and Jin, and the Jianghuai River is the main battlefield. Seven years ago, the Qin army conquered Pengcheng and then besieged San'a, from Guangling, an important defense town in Eastern Jinjiang.
Only a hundred miles away from the Jin court, the imperial edict was issued to General Jianwu, the governor of Yanzhou, and the military officials in Jiangbei, Xie Xuan led the soldiers of the Northern Palace to counterattack.
The so-called Northern Palace soldiers are Jingkou soldiers. The establishment of Jingkou soldiers originated from Xi Jian, and now Xie Xuan. He recruited and trained brave men among the refugees from the north in Jingkou and Guangling. He won Pengcheng native Liu Laozhi and Donghai native He Qian.
The powerful generals, known as the Northern Palace soldiers, Qin and Jin fought in Baimatang, and killed Qin general Du Yan to attack. Junchuan in the north of Xuyi, defeated the Qin army and Jianghuai wars continued. A large number of refugees flocked to Jiangnan, and Jingkou became their place to settle down.
The largest gambling house in Jingkou is the Diao family's Tianying Gambling House, with a few green bricks and green tiles, and a large black mud plaque with four "Sky Eagle Bo" written on it. There are two rows of cherry trees on the side of the door, and the cherry blossoms are blooming.
Stacking clouds and snow
Liu Muzhi and Mao Dezu are regular visitors here. Everything is very programmatic. They bow, laugh, greet, and step into the door.
The house is full of people, and Hulu is drinking pheasants and fighting in a table. The two of them squeezed over and were throwing five woods. The so-called five woods are chubby. The projection used for throwing is made of chubby wood, so it is called chubby.
A group of five pieces, with both ends round and sharp, and flat and wide in the middle, like flat and flat almonds. Each throwing tool has both sides, one side is black and the other is white. There is a calf on the black surface and a pheasant on the white surface.
When gambling, throw out the five woods at the same time, let them jump and then lie down, and then look at the side facing the sky to form a different arrangement and combination. The so-called five of them are all black, called "Lu", which is the highest.
Four black and one white are the "pheasant" which is second only to "Lu". The following three black and two whites, two black and three whites, one black and four whites, and even five all whites are the worst. They are evil.
Pick
Everyone gathered around a fifteen- or six-year-old boy, who was slacking off with a happy look. The boy was dressed in gorgeous clothes, with a greasy and pink face, and Liu Muzhi recognized that the young man from Diao Mansion Diaopin
Although this kid is not very popular, it is probably because of family traditions. He is so angry that he gathers gambling and calls prostitutes, doing everything he can
Liu Muzhi saw that this kid was present and was secretly proud. He thought that he had encountered a surrender now, so he would spend money on him.
Diaopin was having a happy time, he was lucky and had a good fortune in gambling. He was so angry that his veins burst out. When he looked up, he saw Liu Muzhi and shouted: "Daohe, when will you pay the money you owe to our family?"
Liu Muyi squeezed into the table and said, "Young Master Diao, isn't it just 10,000 yuan? I'm afraid I won't pay it back? When will you lose your money?"
Diao Cheng looked disdainful, "If you don't have money, don't come and play!"
"Who said there is no money?" Mao Dezut took out a ingot of silver and put it on the table, shouting: "We brothers play together."
"Okay, bet!"
After a few laps, Diao Cheng became happier and happier. He looked happy and looked happy. It was Liu Muzhi's turn to throw him. Liu Muzhi grabbed the general Chumu in his hand and smiled and said, "Young Master Diao, we
Play with big ones”
Diao Cheng was in high spirits and was willing to retreat, and said, "Okay, how much do you think?"
"Twenty thousand!"
"Twenty thousand?" Everyone was shocked. This was not a small number. Liu Muzhi was a pauper, and he could only give out 20,000 yuan. Everyone knew that Liu Muzhi was going to be a scoundrel again, and no one would follow him again.
Diao Cheng ignored that and responded: "Twenty thousand is 20,000!"
Diao Cheng's young follower hurriedly said, "Young Master, can he spend so much money from Liu Muzhi? You can't bet with him."
Diao Cheng looked at Liu Muzhi's proud look and shouted, "He can't take it out, but I can take it out! Daohe, you throw it out! If you lose, you have to take out 20,000 yuan!"
Liu Muzhi snorted and held Chumu tightly in his right hand. Everyone was so nervous that they sweated. They spent 20,000 yuan and lost. Liu Muzhi's dilapidated house and thin fields were gone. Liu Muzhi's face was calm, and he had a hand.
Waving, the chum churned and jumped in the plate for a long time, everyone looked at it, four black and one white, Mao Dezu shouted, "Phizar! Pheasant!"
Everyone praised, "It's so cute! It's so cute!"
Diao Cheng's face turned pale, but he grabbed Chu Mu without caring, "Look at me to throw Lu!"
Just as we were about to throw it, we heard a cry of yelling "Slow!" Everyone was shocked and saw a middle-aged man standing behind the gambling table, wearing a small crown and a long gown with thick eyebrows, although he had small eyes,
But shines brightly
"Brother!" Diao Cheng stumbled and shouted that the person who came was Diao Cheng's eldest brother Diao Kui Diao Kui and Diao Kui viciously said: "Bastard, who told you to go here to hang out, why don't you get home for me!"
Diao Yi, the father of the Diao brothers, died early, Diao Kui was the eldest brother to manage the family. When the brothers saw Diao Kui, they were so scared that they wanted to escape. Diao Kui snatched the trench from him and stared coldly.
He told Liu Muzhi: "Liu Muzhi, I'll throw this one!"
As he said that, his hand raised, the wood rolled down, and stopped with the crisp impact. Mao Dezu's face turned pale. Liu Muzhi was secretly surprised. Diao Kui threw it into Lu! The huge Sky Eagle Gambling House was silent.
After a long time, Liu Muzhi turned his head and said, "No! What you replace is not! It was said that the young master and I were going to bet. If it was thrown out by him, I would lose all my money and I would have to pay it.
But your words…”
"Random!" Diao Kui shouted, "Liu Muzhi, you gangster! You don't do good things. You owed me the money from the gambling house earlier, but you didn't pay it back. I thought, you also claimed to be a child of a noble family. What's the truth?
No matter, the decline of the middle way is considered to be pitiful, so I don’t rush to pursue it, but you turn it over twice, making a thousand cheats and misleading people’s children.” Diao Kui’s words were quite loud, and for a while
Liu Muzhi didn't think of saying anything to refute
Seeing that Liu Muzhi was getting more powerful, Diao Kui couldn't help but stare at Liu Muzhi fiercely and continued: "Do you have money?"
Liu Muzhi was not outdone, "I don't have money, this game doesn't count!"
Diao Kui sneered, "Come on! Take it down!"
Suddenly, inside and outside the house, dozens of people rushed up, Liu Muzhi fled, punched and kicked, knocked down seven or eight, but the hero could not resist four hands, tigers could not hold up the wolves, and the house was too small to show.
More than a dozen people pushed him to the ground and tied him up.
"Return to the Mansion" Diao Kui waved his hand, and left Mao Dezu was also held down by several evil slaves, tied up together, and took him to Diao Mansion.
Diao Mansion is located in the west of Jingkou Street, covering an area of dozens of hectares. It is the largest house in Jingkou, with three beast-headed gates, two large stone lions with teeth and claws, and a horse-tie pile on the side of the door.
Diao Kui got off the horse, and the door hurried up to pick up the reins. Diao Kui said, "Tie the evil gangster to the stake. If you have no money, just beat me hard!"
The slaves agreed to strip Liu Muzhi naked and tied them to the horse stake. These slaves were used to being rampant in Jingkou. Many of them had been angry with Liu Mu. Today, they caught him.
But if you complain, you will take revenge, you will not let him go no matter what, especially the fat man, who laughs softly and glares at Liu Muzhi from time to time. That's very clear.
I know the great man is
Two big men had already stepped forward and held Liu Muzhi. The fat man held a horse whip and shouted, "Say! Are you rich?"
Liu Muzhi said in his heart: "It's over, I can't help but get beaten today."
But Liu Muzhi was born with a bold and arrogant attitude, so why was he willing to lower his eyebrows and glad to his eyes? He bit his teeth and made up his heart, "I want money? No!"
"Hmph!" Diao Kui snorted, his face turned pale, and he turned around and entered the door
Now, the two slaves can start fighting, chopping them, and slapping them hard. Liu Muzhi's body was covered with blood, and his skin was full of flesh and flesh, Mao Dezu was also tied up tightly. On the one hand, he could only stomp his feet, and his family was just as well as Liu Mu's.
How good is it, how can I get 30,000 yuan?
At this moment, a carriage came from the west, and all the servants rode on horses and stopped in front of the Diao Mansion. The bamboo curtains were rolled up, and a handsome young man walked down the carriage with a fair face and a rosy cheek.
The eyes are clear and spiritual, the head is wrapped in a purple lunar scarf, the big sleeves are wide shirt, the strap is tied, the dusty tail is held in the hand, the magical color is elegant
When the slaves saw a visitor, they stopped. A slave had already come in and reported that a man who looked like a housekeeper bowed and said, "The villain has given him a greeting to this husband."
After a while, Diao Kui walked out with great strides. When he saw this man, he looked like a young master Guijie. His dress and demeanor could not be pretended, but Diao Kui was also considered a person who had seen the world.
As long as the old, young, male and female in Wuyi Lane have some identity, even if Diao Kui doesn't know him, at least he has a familiar face, but he has never seen this person before.
Diao Kui didn't dare to be negligent, so he bowed gently and said, "This husband, Diao Kui is polite."
"I dare not dare not." The man hurriedly returned the greeting and said, "I am Liu Guo, from Jincheng, Liangzhou, come to visit Diao Gong."
Liu Guo? Diao Kui thought about it carefully. Whether it is Jiankang City, Jingzhou, or Jingkou, no matter how many people are, there are no ones like Liu Guo. Even these Liu families are no longer as good as those in the past.
Even if you have such a number one nephew, you don't have to be afraid of him
However, in terms of etiquette, Diao Kui still needs to be in place. He said seriously: "I have long admired the name of greatness, and I am well-known, Mr. Liu, please!"
Diao Kui thought of nothing more than giving him a cup of hot tea and then sending him away
But Liu Guo said, "Let's wait!"
"What advice does Mr. Liu have?"
Liu Guo looked at Liu Muzhi and Mao Dezu, and then said, "I dare to ask Mr. Diao, these two heroes look good in appearance, but why..."
"Oh," Diao Kui smiled, "To be honest, Diao is now a little rich. In order to make some profits and serve the people, there is a small gambling shop. These two are better, not only owed them
Huge gambling debts are still causing trouble in my casino, but... "
"How much do they owe?" Liu Guodao
"Ah?" Diao Kui was a little surprised, his eyes suddenly became sharp
