"Game?"
Yan Li stood up, looked out the window, and pointed at the street, "Do you see the man in yellow? I bet five hundred taels that he will turn right at the fork in the road ahead. "
Tang Sanghua raised his eyebrows, "I'm not afraid of you, then I bet that he will go straight."
When the yellow-clothed man reached the fork, he actually took a right turn.
"How could this be, how did you know?" Tang Sanghua said in surprise.
"Of course I don't know." Yan Li said, "But he walks on the right side, sooner or later he will turn right, this is certain."
"What, so it's luck." Tang Sanghua reluctantly took out five hundred taels and gave it to him.
"Luck is very important." Yan Li smiled proudly.
"One more time!" Tang Sanghua looked around, then pointed at a fruit and vegetable stall, "That man wants to buy pears, let's guess how many he will buy, the closest one wins."
"Okay, I guess five." Yan Li said.
"I guess seven, bet one thousand taels." Tang Sanghua said confidently.
"I bet six."
At this time, the man in the grey robe also walked to the window, smiled and said, "Do you mind if I join your little game?"
"It's more fun together." Tang Sanghua said welcome.
The man who wanted to buy the pear chose five pears from the left and right.
"I won again." Yan Li laughed.
"Don't rush." The man said softly.
He didn't know what the vendor said to the pear buyer, but the buyer actually picked another pear.
"I'm the one who won." The man chuckled.
"Don't rush." This time it was Tang Sanghua's turn.
Sure enough, the man didn't stop, he chose the ninth pear, then let the stall owner weigh it.
"I won!" Tang Sanghua smiled, "Don't look at me like this, I also have a stall, pay up, pay up."
Yan Li and the man each paid one thousand taels.
The man smiled and said, "Next round, ten thousand taels. I bet he won't give me change."
"You guys go ahead. I'm not playing anymore." Tang Sanghua knew when to stop.
"Where's Young Master?" The man turned to Yan Li.
"10,000 taels." Yan Li naturally wouldn't back down.
The person who bought the pear paid five taels of silver. Sure enough, he didn't change the pear and just walked away, munching on the pear.
"It seems like I have more gambling luck than Young Master." The man said with a smile.
"Humph!" Yan Li's face darkened as he paid the ten thousand taels.
"Do you still want to play the next round?" the man asked again.
"Don't complicate things. Let's wait for the Gambling King," Tang Sanghua whispered.
With a sullen face, Yan Li took out a banknote worth ten thousand taels of gold and said, "I bet one hundred thousand taels that he will turn right at the intersection ahead."
"This is interesting," the man said with great interest, "100,000 with you."
The pear seller nibbled on the pear, but he didn't turn right. Instead, he sat down at a tea stall at the intersection.
Yan Li lost again.
"Hehe, this is the so-called 'gambling luck'. It seems that you can't win against me." The man smiled and accepted the banknote.
Yan Li took out ten banknotes and said coldly, "Next round, one million."
"One million with you." The man said calmly, "I bet that he will eat the core."
Then, that person actually ate the core. Yan Li lost again.
"Hehe, what a blessing from the God of Fortune." The man took the banknotes and was about to leave.
"Stop!" Yan Li took out one hundred banknotes and said, "Ten million, one more round."
"Hehe …" The man laughed but didn't say anything.
"Hey, what are you doing? It's just a game." Tang Sanghua pulled Yan Li's sleeve and reminded him in a low voice, "Don't forget the important thing!"
"You don't dare?" Yan Li shook off Tang Sanghua's hand and stared at the man with burning eyes.
"I'll bet." The man said with a smile, "I bet that he will stay there after he finishes his tea."
The person who bought the pear finished his tea and didn't move. Instead, he started to eat the second pear.
"Hehe, I won't be polite." The man put the banknotes into his pocket.
"Hey, let's go!" Tang Sanghua grabbed the bag with the banknotes and dragged Yan Li to leave.
Yan Li turned around and snatched the bag back. He untied it and spread it on the table. He gritted his teeth and said, "I'll bet all my money. One more round."
Bet, bet again. Tang Sanghua's heart skipped a beat. Could it be another one of his schemes?
"This is a bit …" The man's expression was strange, "Is it really okay?"
"Do you want to bet or not?"
"Bet," the man said playfully, "Of course, this round I bet that he will eat the rest of the pear."
Tang Sanghua was stunned and looked at the person who bought the pear. He was very thin and small. It seemed that he didn't have a big appetite. He should win this round, right?
However, unexpectedly, the person really ate the rest of the pear. He didn't even let the pit go.
Yan Li seemed to have lost all his strength and slumped on the chair.
Tang Sanghua looked at him in a daze. In his memory, had Yan Li ever failed? It seemed that expectations would eventually be shattered.
"Hehe, actually I know that person." The man smiled and put away the bag. "But don't worry, I didn't collude with him. I just sit here for a while every day and know his behavior like the back of my hand."
"Let's go back first!" Tang Sanghua picked up Yan Li and wanted to bring him back to the room.
"Don't worry about it. This is the result of playing with a master." The man waved his hand.
Hearing this, Yan Li suddenly broke free from Tang Sanghua and walked back. His face was as green as steel. "One billion, one more round!"
"What? Did I hear it wrong? Or are you crazy?" The man laughed.
"Are you crazy?" Tang Sanghua turned around and pulled him back angrily. He gave Chang Shan a look, indicating that he should forcefully take Yan Li away with him.
Chang Shan pretended not to see it and was indifferent. He couldn't get tired of watching Yan Li's ugly behavior. How could he ruin it?
"My luck will never lose to you!" Yan Li stared at the man. "Choose one of the stalls you can see below and write it down. I will guess. If I can't guess correctly, I lose."
The man glanced and counted silently. There were about 13 stalls in sight. In other words, Yan Li had less than a 10% chance of guessing correctly. This was a real gamble.
He smiled. "You don't have any money. What are you going to bet with me?"
"If I lose, you can do whatever you want!" Yan Li's eyes were bloodshot. He seemed to have lost his mind.
"You're crazy!" Tang Sanghua gritted her teeth and said in his ear, "One billion. Even Ji Tiansheng can't take it out. Please wake up!"
The man shook his head and sighed. "Look at the beauty beside you. She's about to be driven crazy by you. How pitiful. Forget it. I've always been kind to women."
Yan Li said anxiously, "Okay, okay. How about this, let her choose. After you write it down, let her choose. Is that okay?"
"Don't drag me down, you lunatic!" Tang Sanghua suppressed her anger.
"Listen to me, listen to me. Choose once, just once." Yan Li pressed her hands and almost begged. "Just once, just once, okay?"
"I'm really crazy!" Tang Sanghua was angry and amused at the same time. Then, she looked at him deeply. "You really disappoint me."
"Hehe, if it's a beauty, then let's bet." As the man spoke, he asked the waiter to bring over a brush and ink. He stood by the window and glanced back and forth. His eyes finally stopped at one spot, and a strange smile appeared on his lips.
Then, he wrote down the chosen stall on the paper and folded it. He looked at Yan Li and said with a smile, "To be fair, let your subordinate take care of it."
With that, he handed it to Chang Shan.
"You really want to choose?" Tang Sanghua looked coldly at Yan Li.
"Choose!"
Tang Sanghua walked to the window helplessly and glanced back and forth at the stalls on the street. In her heart, she was thinking about everything that had happened along the way with Yan Li.
Am I expecting too much, or is that all you can do?
Huh?
Wait a minute!
The beef noodle stall she saw yesterday was within sight. She couldn't help but think, 'If I had three buckets of rice, I wouldn't keep a single grain to marry you.'
No way? It can't be?
Is it this one? Is it this one?
She suddenly turned around to look at Yan Li. At this moment, the latter's eyes were as deep and bright as ever. There was no trace of craziness left. The corner of his mouth was curled up in a trademark way, indescribably evil.
"Noodle stall, I-I-I, I choose the noodle stall …" Tang Sanghua's voice was trembling.
"What?" The man's face stiffened.
Chang Shan spread out the paper. Sure enough, the words "noodle stall" were written on it.
Tang Sanghua was so shocked that she couldn't speak. This wasn't a miracle, but it set off a monstrous wave in her heart. The anticipation that she had lost came back even more violently, filling the sea of flowers with joy.
"I'm very touched." She said in a low voice, but at this moment, no one could understand her feelings. In fact, those who had never experienced that kind of feeling would find it hard to understand.
"Impossible! How did you know it was the noodle stall! "The man's face suddenly turned pale.
Yan Li sat down unhurriedly, poured a glass of wine, and sipped it lightly. Then he said leisurely, "Because when you were peeping yesterday, I planted a strong hint in your heart."
"What do you mean?"
"Still don't understand?" Yan Li sneered. "As soon as I arrived, I criticized the beef noodle stall. I acted high and mighty, which left a deep impression on you. So, in order to completely destroy my body and mind, you naturally chose the beef noodle stall. Because when a person is defeated in a place that they don't care about, it will be doubly humiliating. That kind of humiliation is enough to destroy a person's mind."
He spread his hands. "Oh, I'm sorry. Actually, I quite like beef noodle. So do you, Lord Gambling King."
"This person is the Gambling King?" Tang Sanghua was stunned.
"Hehehe …" The man, or Li Wanzhou, laughed bitterly. "So, from the beginning, I fell into your trap. Gambling King? I'm not anymore. If I lose, there's only a dead end … "
"Yes, there's only a dead end if I lose. Li Wanzhou, this day has finally come for you, hahaha …"
At this moment, a hysterical voice came from the first floor, crying and laughing like a madman.
Looking at the surrounding environment, Jianghu people didn't know when they had left. Instead, White Impermanence, wearing a mask with a long tongue, surrounded the restaurant.
The sound of footsteps came at the right time, neither too fast nor too slow. At the entrance of the stairs on the second floor, a coquettish woman in revealing clothes appeared. She looked at Yan Li with blurred eyes. "Young Master Yan, since we parted that day, I feel that time has passed like a year. Today, I finally see you again, and I'm very happy."
Beside her, a young man stared at Li Wanzhou and smiled foolishly. It was Ouyang Xiu Nan, who had lost a great deal of wealth to Li Wanzhou.
"Young Master Yan?" Tang Sanghua was surprised. "Has my identity been exposed?"
"I have to admit, this gambling game is really exciting."
At this moment, Chang Shan slowly walked to the side of the woman and sneered. "Yan Li, I can only say that it's not an injustice to be defeated by you."
