Chapter 480 Bet
Chen Wang and Xu Miaoyin came to the street.
This Quyang City is indeed not comparable to the place in Tiankang County.
The streets were busy with traffic and people coming and going, including daughters from wealthy families, ladies from official families, young masters, and ordinary scholars, traders, and lackeys.
On the street, there are endless sounds of vendors selling candied haws and sugar candies, as well as some gadgets.
Among the shops on both sides, the rouge gouache, silk and satin, jade calligraphy and painting are even more eye-catching.
Chen Wang and Xu Miaoyin were wandering on the street, and they came to the tea house.
This teahouse in Quyangcheng is even more eye-catching, and it is very elegantly built.
There is a storyteller above the teahouse. He has a mustache and a thin figure, but his stories are very exciting.
Chen Wang heard that he was talking about a young knight named Guo Congyun, who had wiped out nineteen bandit villages with one sword, and even killed a monster that was causing trouble in the mountains and wild areas.
Guo Congyun has been blown into the sky.
Chen Wang sat down at a table, and soon someone served tea and snacks, and they listened with gusto.
The storyteller said: "Now that Guo Congyun is recommended as one of the ten Xiao Wu Ping, I think it is very likely to be on the list."
Wu Ping is the ranking of the strongest men in the Chu Dynasty, Xiao Wu Ping Wu Pingze is a young and strong man.
This is a list just released by the Chu Dynasty this year. It is judged by an official organization and naturally has credibility.
Therefore, whether it is this year's martial arts competition or various competitions, everyone is accumulating reputation and striving to be on the list.
Chen Wang was also very interested. After listening for a while, he heard a few more names, Yu Qingfeng, Liang Xu, and Ning Haiping. These three people have now come to Quyang City. It is said that they want to participate in this event. A martial arts tournament.
Suddenly!
It was bustling outside, and people quickly gathered in one place, as if something was happening.
Chen Wang came to the window and looked down. Xu Miaoyin said excitedly: "The martial arts competition must have started!"
Chen Wang smiled and said: "Go and have a look?"
Xu Miaoyin clapped her hands and said: "Okay, okay."
They paid the money and quickly left the teahouse with them. There are many people who are attracted by this conference.
The crowd was very crowded, and Chen Wang had to protect Xu Miaoyin. They were not walking fast.
When they arrived, there were already two people on the ring, a burly man and a young swordsman in white.
The strong man held a copper stick in his hand, which was like a tiger and a tiger, and it opened and closed widely.
The swordsman in white has a light body and lifts his weight with ease.
Chen Wang looked on with interest.
The two people who did this were body-building warriors, but they looked very good.
Xu Miaoyin's eyes widened and she looked nervously at the stage.
I don't have any feelings for this dashing swordsman in white. After all, with Chen Wangzhuyu in front of him, his domineering and unworldly temperament cannot be matched by ordinary people.
Xu Miaoyin pulled Chen Wang's sleeve. She knew that Chen Wang was a great master and asked excitedly: "Mr. Chen, who do you think will win?"
Chen Wang said : "Of course it's the swordsman in white."
Xu Miaoyin said: "So that's it."
She watched the tense competition on the stage intently.
Someone nearby saw Chen Wang with such a lovely girl with a bright and charming face.
Hearing what he said, he immediately snorted coldly.
This man is a tall and thin man with a horse face and very sharp eyes.
Chen Wang saw that he seemed a little disdainful of his speech, but he didn't care and just smiled lightly.
Xu Miaoyin was unhappy: "Brother, why are you sneering?"
If others asked this, the horse-faced man would naturally be reluctant, but when such a beautiful girl spoke abruptly, he patiently explained: "These two are both body-building warriors. The stronger they are in this realm, the more advantage they have." , This big man has strong muscles and bones, and it can be seen that he has worked hard, and although the posture of the swordsman in white is cool, it is flashy. In terms of physical training, he is much worse than this big man. "
He talked eloquently. Attracting the attention of several people nearby.
There are many young women or women among these people.
Everyone was a little surprised when they heard what he said so clearly.
The horse-faced man was very helpful. He smiled slightly and looked somewhat graceful.
It's just that his slight smile is a little different from Chen Wang's smile, and this horse-faced smile is even more scary.
Xu Miaoyin was a little unwilling,
"Maybe the swordsman in white will win. It is common to defeat the big with the small and the clumsy with the clever."
Ma The handsome man smiled and said: "The little girl doesn't know martial arts. Is this what you hear?"
"The body-building realm polishes the skin, muscles, bones and muscles. It can be seen from the body shape at a glance. It cannot be compared with skills.< br>
Moreover, this big man's attacks are sharp but not steady, which is obviously because his martial arts are higher. "
Xu Miaoyin originally didn't care, but when she heard the big man laughing at Chen Wang, she felt a little unwilling, and her fair little face was filled with anger.
Chen Wang took her hand and said, He smiled and said: "There is no need to argue, the swordsman in white will win. "
The horse-faced man smiled and said: "Brother, it doesn't matter that you don't understand martial arts. It's just that you shouldn't make any comments in public. ”
His magnanimous look made Xu Miaoyin even more angry.
Chen Wang didn't take it seriously: "Let's make a bet, ten taels of silver, it's a small bet."
As soon as he opened his mouth, it was ten taels of silver, and the horse-faced man suddenly frowned.
He is a charlatan, which is not a small thing for him.
However, in front of everyone, he was unwilling to lose face. He thought about it secretly and said, "Okay! Then let's make a bet!"
Everyone was also right. Very interested in this.
Gambling has been a very addictive thing since ancient times.
The melon-eating crowd around them paid more attention to the battle on the ring. Some women also cast their eyes on the faces of Chen Wang and the swordsman in white, secretly comparing them.
The conclusion is naturally that the young man in the audience is more temperamental, more handsome, and has a heroic spirit.
The horse-faced man watched the battle on the stage. This strong man's shots were steady and there was no way he would lose.
The two of them fought for a while, but the swordsman in white showed no sign of defeat. Instead, he slapped his long sword in his hand and knocked the weapon out of the big man's hand. The hilt of the sword hit the big man's chest. .
Kick! Kick! Kick!
The big man took three steps back, and the long sword made a cut on the big man's chest. However, it did not hurt the skin, but only tore his clothes.
He immediately stopped his hand without hurting anyone, raised his hand and said loudly: "I give in!"
The strong man said angrily: "My skills are not as good as others, I lost. , Thank you for showing mercy, Master!”
The big man clasped his fists, picked up the weapon and jumped off the stage.
The white-clothed swordsman said: "You are not talented, you are showing off your humiliation."
A burst of cheers and fierce applause immediately surged around.
His expression was even more impressive, he stepped off the stage with great agility and dexterity.
The horse-faced man looked stunned: "..."
Xu Miaoyin said excitedly: "Okay, okay, I win!"
The people eating melons next to him also looked at the horse-faced man with great interest.
The horse-faced man frowned,
“It shouldn’t be, how could it be possible? No way!”
Xu Miaoyin spread her hands: “Here, ten taels of silver !" Ma's face was sweating profusely. Although he felt a little distressed, he could only grit his teeth and accept it. He put his hand into his arms and took out ten taels of silver.
But Chen Wang raised his hand to stop him, and said with a smile: "Brother, don't take it seriously, it's just a joke."
The horse-faced man was stunned.
Chen Wang smiled and left with Xu Miaoyin.
The horse-faced man thought: "This young master has the upper hand but does not humiliate himself and does not ask for these ten taels of silver."
He sighed longly,
"This young master is really charming and elegant!"
The horse-faced man was sincerely convinced, and everyone onlookers were also impressed by Chen Wang's magnanimity.
Don't be surprised by honor or disgrace, have the upper hand, but let others go. This demeanor is very unparalleled.
Some wealthy daughters were even more excited.
Looking at Xu Miaoyin held in Chen Wang's hand, he wished that the girl was him.
"It would be really special if you could chat and laugh with him by his side."
Xu Miaoyin and Chen Wang left.
Xu Miaoyin smiled from ear to ear. She didn't care about money at all. With her background, she didn't care even if she had a hundred taels. She was just a child and thought she had won over that man.
"Mr. Chen, you are so powerful. Why don't you want that man's money? We beat him, who made him laugh at us?"
Chen Wang said with a smile: "What he said is true. There's nothing wrong with it, just make a bet and have some fun. There's no need to have any grudges. You have to be merciful and be merciful."
Xu Miaoyin said: "If you have to spare others, please spare them. Mr. Chen, you are so magnanimous!"
No one in the Chu Dynasty had ever said this, so it was Chen Wang's prostitution in vain.
Xu Miaoyin said: "Mr. Chen, how do you know that the swordsman in white will definitely win?"
Chen Wang smiled and said: "My ears are very good. I heard it before When he was fighting with the big man, he whispered, the blow with the stick just now was too hard, and it almost knocked off my sword, and it would be enough if I hit him for a while."
Xu Miaoyin's eyes immediately widened: "Ah. ?”
She is also a smart girl, and she reacted immediately,
“They are cheating!”
Chen Wang laughed and said, “Show your face at the martial arts conference held in Quyang City. , naturally many people are willing to show off."
Xu Miaoyin said: "Isn't it a pity for the big man, he can obviously win!"
Chen Wang said: "In terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, it's a shame. That guy is making money from this, so it’s okay to enjoy it.”
Xu Miaoyin took Chen Wang's hand and was a little excited.
He thought to himself: "You can really learn a lot from following Brother Chen."
They ate and strolled on the street and bought a lot of things.
As soon as Xu Miaoyin went out, she realized that although she didn't bring a maid, she also had an embarrassing problem. She didn't bring any money.
Fortunately, Chen Wang was extremely generous and did not hesitate to take action.
Xu Miaoyin was the daughter of a wealthy family and was not short of money. She was not surprised by Chen Wang's generosity, but she just found it reassuring to follow Chen Wang.
As for the two guards, not long after they went out, Chen Wang turned left and right to get rid of the two guards.
The two guys were still on the street at this time. Find someone online.
When Chen Wang and the others returned to Xu's house carrying large and small bags, the two brothers had already gone back to report the news.
One of them was about to speak, but when he saw Chen Wang's eyes, he swallowed it back.
They are Mr. Xu's people, and they don't care about Miss Xu's family. They just want to keep an eye on their movements.
Just now I wanted to blame, but for some reason I couldn’t speak when I saw the young man’s eyes. He just said,
“Miss, the second master and his wife are waiting impatiently. ."
Xu Miaoyin said: "I understand."
Chen Wang said: "It doesn't matter, I will take you to talk."
Xu Miaoyin hummed and nodded, with some joy in her eyes.
When they arrived at the lobby, Mrs. Xu and Mr. Xu had been waiting for a long time.
Just as Mr. Xu was about to speak, Mrs. Xu came forward and said with a smile: "I only know how to go out and play. Fortunately Mr. Chen is here, otherwise my mother would be really worried."
< br>Xu Miaoyin smiled: "Mother."
Xu Sheng said with a straight face: "Miaoyin, the streets are so chaotic now, how can you run around?"
"Do you know how worried your family is about you?"
Xu Miaoyin lowered her head and stuck out her tongue.
Chen Wang said with a smile: "I took her around for a while and then got separated from the guard. I don't blame her."
Xu Sheng frowned and thought, You are an outsider, it is your turn to speak.
Although he called Mrs. Xu sister-in-law, he actually didn’t care.
But he originally looked down upon Chen Wang, thinking that he was just a young warrior who knew a little bit about boxing and had no foundation.
But for some reason at this time, when Chen Wang looked at him, he did not dare to speak.
Mrs. Xu was a little surprised at this time.
Although Xu Sheng was polite on the surface, secretly he acted on his own initiative, thinking that orphans and widowed mothers were easy to bully.
She also tolerated many times, as if she was being pulled here by him to wait for Xu Miaoyin to come back.
Xu Sheng was still unhappy when she opened her mouth to save herself,
but why did she suddenly stop talking at this time.
Mrs. Xu's heart moved and she looked at Chen Wang thoughtfully.
After the second master of the Xu family left the living room, he felt a little confused.
“It’s strange, this kid is a white man, right? Why didn’t I dare to speak in front of him just now?”
Thinking about it now, he really wanted to give himself a big mouth. He clearly had an opportunity to make trouble and use the topic to his advantage.
"Maybe it's because he is a warrior, young and energetic. I'm afraid he won't follow the rules. Next time, bring a few guards around to build up his momentum."
He With this thought in mind, after returning to the room, his wife Zhang came to greet him.
Ms. Zhang said: "Why are you back so soon?"
Xu Sheng said: "My sister-in-law seems to really trust Mr. Chen, so I can't say much."
Mrs. Zhang said unhappily: "Didn't I ask you to take the opportunity to make trouble and stop my sister-in-law from focusing on the family business?"
Second Master Xu also had some doubts in his heart, but it was hard to say anything in front of his wife. What.
He changed the subject and asked: "How did that matter go?"
Ms. Zhang lowered his voice: "Don't worry, my brother knows the people from the Sky Demon Alliance and has already transferred the senior If someone comes, we can kill the mother and daughter silently."
Secretary Xu said in a low voice: "There won't be any trouble, right? We can't get too involved with the Sky Demon Alliance. .”
Mrs. Zhang said: "Many old people in the family are very loyal to your damn brother. Otherwise, how can a woman manage this business? If you hesitate any longer, the Xu family will really have nothing to do with you!"
Master Xu gritted his teeth: "Okay, let's do it!"
But after thinking about it for a moment, he felt a little worried.
"The imperial court is now very powerful in arresting people. We must not let the Yamen get any evidence."
Zhang said coldly: "Don't worry, my brother has arranged everything."< br>
