"Call Bandit ~!"
"Don't call ~!"
"Don't call ~!"
"Super Double ~!"
Taiji Palace, in the palace where Li Yuan was, three people were sitting around a table and happily playing Bandit. Changle was at the side holding her chin and blinking her eyes at the changing game on the table. Of course, her little eyes would also glance at Li Zexuan from time to time.
It was worth mentioning that there was already a pile of small notes with a red seal in front of Li Zexuan. This thing was something like a banknote that he made on the spot. One note was 100 strings of coins, and it was stamped with Li Yuan's private seal. Each person was given a "banknote" of 5000 strings of coins, and they would settle the bill together after the game.
After all, silver was not in circulation in this era. Their game was relatively big, and the base bet was 100 strings of coins. Sometimes, they would even raise it if they caught a bomb or something. Just 100 strings of coins could fill a cart. According to their way of playing, even if the room was full of coins, it would not be enough for them to play for half a day!
Li Yuanchang, this unlucky child, was in pain and joy at the moment. He was happy because the fun of Bandit Fighting was far beyond his understanding, and he was completely addicted to it. Of course, he was in pain because he had lost at least 3,000 to 4,000 strings of coins. This was all his private money, and he was not like Li Tai and Li Chengqian who had shares in Strange Interest Pavilion or Strange Interest Culture. He could enjoy dividends of tens of thousands of strings of coins every year. It was not easy for him to get money usually, and these 3,000 to 4,000 strings of coins had already hurt him a little.
But if he shrank back and stopped playing at this time, he would feel weak and would be looked down upon by Li Zexuan. Therefore, he was really in pain and joy as he gritted his teeth and persevered! Besides, he still had a trace of luck in his heart, and that was to recoup his losses and even win some money from Li Zexuan.
"Hey ~! Three with a pair, I only have one card left! "
Li Zexuan casually threw out five cards, then crossed his legs and looked at Li Yuanchang with a smile that was not a smile. Although he did not care about money, anything that could make the enemy suffer was worth him being happy. This kid deliberately tricked him before, no matter what, he had to make him bleed a lot today!
"I …"
Li Yuanchang opened his mouth, and a sense of helplessness suddenly overwhelmed him. This was all part of Li Zexuan's plan. Now, the remaining cards on the field couldn't control the three circles of a pair of ten!
"… I can't afford it!"
Li Yuanchang sighed helplessly and shook his head.
Li Yuan also shook his head.
Without any suspense, Li Zexuan won another round and earned 200 strings of cash. Speaking of which, there were probably not many people in the entire Tang Dynasty who could earn money faster than him. One round only took one or two minutes, and if he was lucky, he could earn one or two hundred strings of cash. His wealth was simply amazing!
"Haha! This Bandit Fight was really interesting! Marquis Yong 'an, your card skills have also made us look at you in a new light! "
At the end of the round, Changle acted as the "beautiful dealer" and helped to shuffle the cards. Li Yuan laughed heartily at this time.
Li Zexuan smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, you flatter me. I just played more and am more familiar with it!"
In fact, after playing for so long, Li Yuan did not lose much money. Li Zexuan mainly focused his firepower on Li Yuanchang, so relatively speaking, Li Yuan could understand the fun in the card game more.
"Hehe! Alright! It's getting late. Today's card game will end here! Changle, go back and rest! "
Li Yuan raised his head and looked at the sky, then said with a smile.
Changle nodded. She had watched the card game from the side for the whole afternoon and also saw that Li Yuan had no malice towards Li Zexuan, so she had nothing to worry about at the moment. She got up and said goodbye, "Then, Imperial Grandfather, Brother Xiaoxuan, Changle will go back first!"
"En! Changle, take care!
Li Zexuan nodded and watched Changle leave.
"Heh! Sixi, come over and calculate how much money should be given to whom for me? If you agree to bet, you must accept defeat. This cannot be sloppy! "
Li Yuan raised his eyes and looked at Eunuch Cao standing beside him and instructed.
Li Zexuan shook his head. Actually, there was no need for Cao Sixi to calculate. He already knew the result in his heart. After all, he was a master of mathematics in everyone's eyes. How could he not have this bit of ability? However, although he knew in his heart, he did not say anything to stop it.
Cao Sixi responded, then called over two little eunuchs to help count together. After a moment, Cao Sixi cupped his hands and said carefully, "Your Majesty, the result is out! His Highness King Lu lost a total of 4400 strings of cash. You lost a total of 1200 strings of cash. Only Marquis Yong 'an won. A total of 5600 strings of cash! "
Li Yuan did not get angry after hearing this. He pointed at Li Zexuan, as if reproaching, but more like half-joking, and said, "Good! Marquis Yong 'an! I did not expect that I called you here today to give you money in the end! How do you plan on thanking me? "
Five thousand strings of cash was definitely not a small amount. With the price of goods in the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, if placed in a relatively poor small county, 5600 strings of cash was basically a county's tax income for a year!
Li Zexuan's heart moved, and he replied, "This subject thanks Your Majesty for the reward! May Your Majesty's dragon body be in good health! "
"Haha! Good! "
Li Yuan laughed loudly, then said to Li Yuanchang, "Yuanchang, tomorrow send the money you lost along with my money to Yunshan! If you agree to bet, you must accept defeat. As a person, you cannot go back on your words. Do you understand? "
For some reason, Li Yuanchang seemed to be very honest today. In the entire process of the mahjong game, he did not deliberately create trouble for Li Zexuan like before, nor did he fan the flames at the side. At this moment, he nodded obediently and said, "Father Emperor, don't worry. This subject son will take care of these matters tomorrow!"
Li Yuan said again, "En! Then you go back first. We still have some things to discuss with Marquis Yong 'an! "
"… This subject son will take his leave!"
Li Yuanchang cupped his fists and left. However, Li Zexuan's eyes flashed, secretly thinking that today's main topic had finally arrived! The afternoon mahjong game was just an appetizer!
"Marquis Yong 'an, yesterday you saved Changle. We are very grateful in our hearts! We still have a request today. I wonder if you can agree to it? "
As expected, once Li Yuan opened his mouth, nothing good would come out of it!
Li Zexuan cupped his fists and said, "Your Majesty's words are too serious! This subject's ability is limited. Within the limits of my ability, if Your Majesty has any request, this subject will definitely do my best to fulfill it! "
When Li Yuan heard that, he sighed helplessly and said, "You really are a slippery fellow! Forget it! We won't beat around the bush with you either. You are very young, and your future is also limitless! We just want to ask you for a favor. I hope that after our hundred years, you can take care of Yuanchang a little. It can also be considered as lessening some of Erlang's sins! "
Li Zexuan's heart skipped a beat. He thought to himself, I reckon that in the entire imperial palace, only Li Yuan dares to say such words, right? He frowned and pondered for a long time. Then, he said word by word,
"Your Majesty, this subject can not make things difficult for Prince of Lu. However, there is a saying, 'When the heavens commit a sin, it can be forgiven. When one commits a sin, one cannot live! His Highness Prince of Lu's future life and death is not in this subject's hands, nor is it in Your Majesty's hands. It is only in his own hands! "
