Chapter 18 Chapter 18 Maoshi, Lion Mountain

While Wei Fengniang didn't know how to make a decision, Zhao Wuji received a secret letter. He didn't know when the secret letter would be delivered. When he woke up, he saw the secret letter lying quietly under the crack of the door. He knew that it must have been quietly put in in the middle of the night. He opened it, and it was indeed given to him by Shangguan Ren. The content was very simple, it only stated that at the time of Tianmao, the place was in Shishan. He pushed open the window and looked at the sky, it was already Chen Shi, which meant that Shangguan Ren said tomorrow, not today, because Shangguan Ren must have said that he couldn't get up early today.

Where is Lion Mountain?He wasn't worried at all, and he believed that he would get it when he asked. Why did Shangguanren make an appointment tomorrow instead of today?What is he up to today?Or is he unable to escape the surveillance of the Tang family today? These are not important, the important thing is, what kind of place is Shishan?Is it suitable for someone like him who fights with a sword? He decided to go to Shishan to look at the terrain first. He called the man over and asked where Shishan was, so he ordered a catty of beef and eight steamed buns to eat. He really needs to eat more, because last night, he expended a lot of energy to fight with Boss Qian.

Boss Qian's tricks were really powerful, and Wuji couldn't help but cheer up in his heart. He originally wanted to give up and admit defeat, because the purpose of his coming here was not to win money, but to attract the attention of the people here. If anyone noticed him, he would definitely report it to the boss here.The leader here is Shangguan Ren, Shangguan Ren knows that he is coming, and will definitely try to contact him. He had noticed just now that someone had left the "Hexing House" after listening to Qian Shaodong's whisper, and he guessed that this person must have reported it.

Therefore, winning or losing is not important now. However, Boss Qian used this trick, which aroused his competitiveness and curiosity. Competitiveness is, why can't he win? Curiosity is, what method does he use to win? He took the porcelain bowl that Boss Qian handed him, looked at the dice in the bowl that were pinned by three long needles, and thought about how to throw three sixes. Holding the bowl in his left hand, he pulled out the long needle with his right hand and handed it back to Boss Qian. Boss Qian looked at him with a complacent look, and the smile on his face suddenly made Wuji feel very annoyed, he hated him winning.

It's useless to just hate, you have to come up with a method, he looked around, some people's eyes showed enthusiastic anticipation, while others showed expressions of waiting to see him make a joke. He looked at Boss Qian again, and Boss Qian's smile widened, and he said, "Please!" Just please, who am I, Zhao Wuji, afraid of?What's more, you old fox must not have thought that I have come up with a better method, right?Wuji thought about it, and couldn't help feeling proud of his own thoughts. "You are amazing." Wuji said to Boss Qian. "Yes." Boss Qian responded with a smile.

"However, I have more powerful tricks." "Oh?" Boss Qian said with a look of disbelief, "Young man, it's useless to talk big, you have to show real skills!" "you do not believe?" "Of course I don't believe it." "Okay, so how about we double the bet?" Boss Qian was taken aback, looked at Wuji for a while, and then said, "Okay!" "But, shall we change the betting method?" "Change the gambling method? How?" "If I roll three sixes too, we're unbeaten, right?" "Of course, we don't have the rule of dealers eating sticks here."

"This way we won't be able to tell the winner." "why?" "Because I can't miss it." "Oh? Are you so confident?" "Of course, even though you put a hole in the dice, the weight is already light, but I still have a way to throw three sixes." "Then how do you decide whether to win or lose?" "After I finish throwing, not only do I promise to throw three sixes, but I also promise that you will throw three more sixes." "Just kidding, do I have any other ideas?" "I promise you won't."

"I can guarantee it too!" "I mean, you can't come up with anything other than three sixes." "Oh?" "If you throw anything other than three sixes, I lose." Boss Qian found it interesting, he shook his head and looked at Wuji. "If you throw three more sixes, then I win." Wuji said again. Boss Qian suddenly laughed loudly and said, "Young man, you are doomed." Wuji denied Boss Qian's statement with a smile. "Laughing is useless." Boss Qian turned his head to look at everyone and said, "Do you think so?"

Everyone said it should be true. "Would you like to take a gamble too?" Boss Qian said again. "What's the bet?" Someone asked. "Bet among us, who wins." "Of course Boss Qian won." Someone said. "Did anyone bet on me?" No one answered. "You all bet that the boss will win?" Wuji interjected. "Of course." Many people said in unison. "Then you bet, I'll bet with you." "Really?" There was another burst of unison. "real." All of a sudden, the crowd of onlookers began to discuss. Some speculated whether the young man had some special skills, while others said it was an act of a fool.Although everyone's opinions are different, they all make the same actions at the same time.

That is, they all took out all their money. The money on the table is almost full. Boss Qian suddenly reached out his hand to signal everyone to wait, and then he said to the young man in front of him, "Can you afford it?" Wuji smiled, took out a large ingot of gold from his body, and said, "Is this enough?" Boss Qian glanced at the piles of broken silver on the table, and said, "What if it's not enough?" "If it's not enough, why don't everyone share it equally?" someone suggested. Everyone thought to themselves that this win is for nothing, and it would be good to get a little bit, so they agreed with each other.

Wuji laughed again, and said, "Okay, since everyone is so straightforward, I'll let you take advantage." "I won, and I only charge 10% of your bet." The crowd suddenly became uproarious, and some people had already stretched out their hands to get back the broken silver. Because of Wuji's momentum, it looks like he is sure to win. Are there any fools in the world who still gamble with others knowing that they will lose? Boss Qian looked at the crowd. He hated these people being suppressed by Wuji's aura, so he immediately said, "Don't worry, everyone. If you lose, I mean, I'll give you 10%." As soon as Boss Qian's words came out, of course there was an uproar again. Anyone who doesn't bet on this kind of guaranteed win is a fool. "Can we still bet?" someone asked. Everyone looked at Wuji, and Wuji smiled and said, "You'd better ask Boss Qian about this." "Why ask Boss Qian?" "Because the one who loses money at that time will be him, not me." Boss Qian couldn't help laughing out loud, and said: "You can raise your bets, but I think you only have this ingot of gold, so the loss is too little!" Wuji looked at the money piled up on the table, and said, "Okay, I'll take out one more thing." As he said that, he took out a small knife from his body. This knife shone brightly under the light, emitting a yellow light. Yes, this is a small knife made of gold. It is very thin and looks very sharp. "Good knife!" Boss Qian called out. "Is it worth it?" Wuji asked. "value." "Is it enough compensation?" "enough." "That's good." Wuji said, while putting the golden knife back into his bosom. "Why don't you put this pocket knife on the table?" "I am useful." "Are you ready to renege?" "You're wrong. I mean, I'm going to use this pocket knife. Since you can use a needle, of course I can use a knife, right?" "of course." "Okay, have you all placed your bets yet?" "Okay!" Everyone said in unison, they all looked at Wuji to see what he could do to make Boss Qian lose. Wuji picked up the dice with his fingers, put it in his palm, held it tightly with his hands, looked at everyone and said, "I'm going to lose it." Everyone held their breath and looked at his right hand. As soon as Wuji took a breath, he suddenly threw his clenched right hand from bottom to top, and the three dice flew up. Then, his right hand quickly reached into his bosom, and took out the small, thin golden knife. Then, his men suddenly charged straight up and flew towards the direction of the three dice. When the three dice were falling, the golden knife stabbed five times at each dice from left to right, up and down. . The crowd below saw the golden knife flash fifteen times in quick succession, and Wuji fell, holding the porcelain bowl in his hand at some point, holding it high above his head. After three crisp sounds, the three dice fell into the porcelain bowl. There was no sound in the hall, and everyone was staring at the porcelain bowl above Wuji's head. There was no smile on Wuji's face either, because it was the first time for him to be touched this time, and he didn't even dare to be sure whether he was smart or not. Slowly and steadily, he gently placed the porcelain bowl on the table. "Wow!" sounded like an explosion. Three six! Not only were there three sixes, but it was obvious that Wuji's fifteen knives had already cut off the numbers on the other dice! What a fast and accurate technique, what a deep internal force! Everyone exclaimed again, and suddenly turned their eyes to Boss Qian. Boss Qian's face turned ashen, and his eyes were fixed on the three dice. Wuji was right. In the future, besides three sixes, what other ideas can Boss Qian come up with? Without a doubt, Boss Qian lost! Everyone dare not speak.In fact, everyone didn't know what to say. Wuji smiled and sat down. Boss Qian raised his ashen face suddenly, and looked at Wuji, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Why is he still smiling?Not only Wuji wanted to know, but the onlookers also wanted to know. Boss Qian's smile rose from the corner of his mouth to his cheeks, and he said in a firm tone, "You're doomed!" Wuji didn't speak, he just kept thinking about it, what kind of situation would he lose? "I can tell you that I threw two sixes, one one, and only one point. The iron losing point turned into an iron winning point, ha... ha... ha..." Boss Qian smiled happily, as if he was certain to win, and then said, "Put down your golden knife too! I will pay you the bet." Wuji sneered and said, "Don't worry, I haven't lost yet!" "You're going to lose right away." As he spoke, Boss Qian took the porcelain bowl to his hand.Take in your hand three dice with only the number six remaining on them. "Looking good." As Boss Qian said, he tossed the three dice, and the three dice flew straight up. Everyone doesn't know what medicine is sold in Boss Qian's gourd?There is only the number six on the dice, how can it be possible to get a little?I thought so, but everyone didn't even dare to breathe, and watched the dice flying upwards. The three dice have reached the peak of strength.It's about to fall. At this moment, Boss Qian suddenly picked up a needle and shot it straight at the ground. The needle hit the dice that Wuji had cut off just now. At the same time, Boss Qian flew away from the chair and landed on the place where the needle fell. At this moment, Wuji already knew what method Boss Qian was using, and he immediately held the little golden knife tightly. Sure enough, Boss Qian picked up the needle, turned around, and the needle shot at the falling dice. Everyone understands what the medicine in Boss Qian's gourd is. He used a needle to pin the number one that was cut off.Then pin it back to the dice, so the throw is not exactly one point? When everyone was about to applaud, Wuji's little golden knife flew out of his hand and shot at the thin needle issued by Boss Qian. "Very good!" Boss Qian suddenly yelled and burst out laughing. The little golden knife was aimed very precisely, as soon as it was pulled it hit the thin needle, and the needle flew out aside. This situation is very unfavorable to Boss Qian, why does he applaud instead? Just when everyone was stunned, another thin needle flew out of Boss Qian's left hand, and a dice fell from the nail firmly. It turned out that Boss Qian had expected that Wuji would issue a golden knife to stop him, so when he flew down, he was already holding a needle in his left hand, and when everyone was paying attention to his right hand, the thin needle in his left hand had already nailed the ", and then, when the thin needle in the right hand was hit, the needle in the left hand flew out. The left-hand needle pinning the word "one" immediately hit one of the dice before Wuji had time to stop it. The two dice that fell first were, of course, two sixes, and then the pinned dice fell, which was a one. That's right, it's one point, a point that must be lost becomes a point that must be won. Everyone applauded, and Boss Qian couldn't help laughing out loud. Wuji lost, but he didn't look depressed at all. He clapped his hands and said, "Sure enough, I admire you! I admire you! I'm so convinced that I lost." Saying that, he threw the small golden knife in his hand on the table, then turned around and prepared to leave. Boss Qian stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "Wait a minute." "What else is there?" "Don't you want to turn over the book?" "Another day! The hand is so bad today, if you continue to gamble, you will still lose. This is the rule that gamblers must strictly abide by, right?" "Yes, you know how to gamble, you are welcome to come anytime." "I will." "Have you asked your name yet?" Boss Qian said. "Gambling is only about winning or losing, so why care about who is who?" "That makes sense, but how about making friends?" "There is no father and son in the casino, so I don't think there is any need for it." Wuji arched his hands, made a "please" gesture, and said, "Let me go!" After speaking, Wuji walked out of the "Hexing House" without looking back, leaving a sound of admiration behind him. The sound of admiration came from the onlookers, they all admired Wuji's pride, especially his style of losing if he lost, and his style of not being indifferent at all, this was a realm that they could not reach. What they didn't know was that Wuji's purpose of coming here was not to judge whether he won or lost, but to let Shangguan Ren know that he was coming, so he didn't care about winning the round at all. Back at the inn, Wuji realized that the gamble just now.It took a great deal of effort for him, and he was so tired that he fell asleep as soon as he lay in bed, unaware that a letter had been delivered into the room. Fortunately, the people who came didn't poison or put drugs, otherwise Wuji would have been assassinated long ago. Walking on the way to Shishan, Wuji thought of this incident, and still had lingering fears in his heart. He was in the enemy camp, how could he be so careless? When he arrived at Lion Mountain, he immediately saw an empty mud field, and he knew that he would fight Shangguan Ren here to fight to the death. He likes open terrain, and he won't feel oppressed and restrained when fighting. He doesn't like to use barriers as a means of fighting. He thinks this is not a contest of martial arts, but a contest of conspiracy. He doesn't like conspiracy at all. He believes that if you want to fight, you should have a good fight, and the way of fighting that is in the way of conspiracy and tricks is what he is most ashamed of doing. Although he may not be able to beat Shangguan Ren!
