was in a stalemate, only to hear one person shouting: "Dao peace! Dao and! A handsome young man ran panting. At the age of about twenty, he was born with a good five views, and his sword eyebrows were bright and starry. This person's name is Mao Dezu, a martial artist from Xingyang Yang, who has few great ambitions, and Liu Muzhi can be regarded as friends in distress, and they often learn together.

"Daohe, let me find it easy, what are you angry with a bunch of minions?" Mao Dezu grabbed Liu Muzhi and said, "Go, go, go, I have something important to discuss with you." ”

After finishing speaking, he glanced at the group of minions by the way, and said, "You guys give Lao Tzu a little brighter, huh?" ”

Liu Muzhi spat at everyone, ignored this group of people, and left! Everyone didn't dare to be embarrassed, Mao Dezu's name, that is bigger than Liu Muzhi, it is said that he is the partner of Liu Yu, the general of Beifu, who grew up playing, but he is usually lazy, so he did not join the army, but in the past, he was ruthless, everyone has also seen it, and he belongs to the master who wants to kick three feet when he sees a tree, and everyone dare not provoke him. You must know that in addition to being brave and ruthless, this Mao Dezu is also a gambler, with a high heart, and Liu Mu's virtue, and everyone can't afford to mess with him.

A bald and thin man shouted: "It's cheap for him to kill a dog, but this bundle of firewood is enough for our family to burn for two days." ”

The fat man spat fiercely and said, "That's all you kid can do, hmph, let them be proud now, wait for us to tell Uncle Diao, see how to clean them up."

Liu Mao and the two walked side by side, Liu Muzhi remembered one thing fiercely, and said, "My Chai He? ”

"Alas! What firewood do you want, I'm here to bring you wealth. Mao Dezu pouted.

"What rich? Eyes are red? Liu Muzhi smiled lightly, Mao Dezu actually knows Mao Dezu very well and has great ambitions, but he is not greedy for wealth and wealth, otherwise, with the relationship between him and Liu Yu, who is now in full swing, what does he want.

Mao Dezu's eyes lit up and said, "Didn't you go to Jingkou to have a look?" Signs of soldiers were plastered all over the streets. ”

"So what?" Liu Muzhi smiled, "This is the first conscription in five years, besides, the previous recruitment, aren't you calmer than me, what's wrong this time?" ”

"Hehehe, this time, it's different, because the slave wrote to me." Mao Dezu said proudly, "Look, he said that he wants me to seize this opportunity, because the soldiers recruited by Jingkou this time, as long as they are our soldiers in Jingkou, will all be under the management of the slaves." ”

After Mao Dezu finished speaking, Liu Muzhi also fell into deep thought.

"How? Daohe, our background, no military merits, no need to get ahead in the rest of your life, in the past I was unwilling to join the army, I was not ready, you were not ready, but now it is different, you and I join the army together, kill to the Central Plains, with your and my ability, do not bow to the prime minister? ”

Liu Muzhi's eyes flashed, and then it dimmed again, "Hehehe, Brother Mao, don't you still understand?" What kind of world is this, huh? You, me, and the slaves, hehehe, are all Shu clan! ”

"However, the slave is now on an errand in Beifu, and it has only been a few years, and now he is already famous all over the world!" Mao Dezu said.

Liu Muzhi smiled bitterly and said, "Don't look at him as a fierce general in Beifu, but let me tell you, no matter how great his credit is, he can't be crowned Hou." The imperial court will not let the slave really grasp the power of the army, the Gaomen scholar clan was born to be an official, he is just a slope of, and he is still an official and leads the army. The imperial court has made several northern expeditions, how can one of them be successful? Zu Ti is a big hero, what will happen? Let's go to the Central Plains to die, I won't do it! ”

Mao Dezu was told by him, and his ambition was suddenly thrown to Java. The person was also a lot shorter, and sighed, "Is it true that you and I have no future in this life?" ”

Liu Muzhi smiled and said: "Wait, wait, wait for the opportunity, you can get it back with a handful of bets!" ”

"So what are we going to do now?"

"Bet! Hurry up and go. ”

Speaking of calamus, Mao Dezu's eyes were shining, and he patted his thigh, "Okay!" Walk! ”

Jingkou was originally barren and barren, since the Jin Dynasty crossed to the south, the Shishu and the displaced people crossed the river to avoid the war, and hoped to return to their hometown, and Jingkou became their gathering place. Fan Yang Zu Ti, Bohai Diao Xie, Yingchuan Yu Liang, Dongguan Xu Chengzhi, Zang Kun and other children, tribes, Lu Li Shishu thousands of families crossed to the south and lived in Beijing. As a result, the entrance to Kyoto is becoming more and more prosperous. After Xi Jian established the Jingkou army in Jingkou, Jingkou became a strong domain of Jiankang, the seat of Yangzhou, and an important military town. There are many wealthy families and shops in the city.

Liu Muzhi and Mao Dezu entered the city from the north gate of Jingkou, the city wall was built tall and stocky, and the city gate cave guarded the Jin soldiers in crimson military uniforms. When you enter the city, the streets are full of ragged outcasts, lying under the scorching sun, or lying under the trees, curled up under the eaves, and the poor eyes follow the flowing crowd.

Most of these came from crossing the Jianghuai River to avoid chaos. In recent years, the war between Qin and Jin continues, Jianghuai is the main battlefield, 7 years ago, the Qin army Kepeng City, and then besieged San'a, only 100 miles away from Guangling, an important town of the Eastern Jin River. The Jin court was shaken, General Zhao Jianwu, Yanzhou Assassin Shi, supervised the military Xie Xuan of Jiangbei, and led the Beifu soldiers to counterattack.

The so-called Beifu soldiers are the Jingkou soldiers, the creation of the Jingkou soldiers originated from Xi Jian, and now it is Xie Xuan, in Jingkou and Guangling, recruiting and training brave people from the north, Liu Gaozhi, a native of Pengcheng, He Qian, a native of the East China Sea and other fierce generals, known as the Beifu soldiers. Qin Jin fought in Baimatang and beheaded the Qin generals Duyan. Taking advantage of the victory, he attacked and broke the Qin army in Junchuan in the north of Xuyi. The Jianghuai war continued, and a large number of refugees poured into the south of the Yangtze River, and Jingkou became their place of residence.

The largest gambling house in Beijing is the Diao family's Tianying Gambling House. A few green brick and green tile houses, black mud plaques, four big houses with a book on the "Eagle Tree", two rows of cherry trees on the side of the door, cherry blossoms are splendid, and clouds and snow are piled up.

Liu Muzhi and Mao Dezu are frequent visitors here, everything is very procedural, arching their hands, smiling, saying hello, and walking into the door.

The house was full of people, and Hulu drank pheasants. A table was in full swing, and the two squeezed over. The crowd is throwing five woods, the so-called five woods, that is, the thin, the throwing used for throwing is made of wood, so it is called thin.

A group of five, two round and sharp, flat and wide in the middle, like a flattened almond, each throwing tool has two sides, one side is painted black, one side is painted white, the black surface is painted with a calf, the white surface is painted with a pheasant, when gambling, the five wood is thrown out at the same time, let it turn and lie down after jumping, and then look at its side towards the sky with different permutations and combinations, that is, the so-called picking. Five of them are all black, called "Lu", which is the highest pick, four black and one white for "pheasant" is second only to "Lu" for good picking, the following three black and two white, two black and three white, one black and four white, and even five all white. All white is the worst pick, that is, the bad pick.

The crowd was throwing around a young man of fifteen or sixteen, who was gorgeously dressed and had a powdery face. Liu Muzhi recognized Diao's little son, Diao Mansion.

Although this kid is not big, it is probably because of the family tradition, he makes himself angry, gathers gambling and recruits prostitutes, and does everything.

Liu Muzhi saw that this kid was present, and he was secretly proud, and he said in his heart that he could meet a wronged boss today, and let him spend two money.

Diao Ping was having a good time, his luck was good, his gambling luck was booming, he shouted that his muscles burst out, and when he looked up, he saw Liu Muzhi and shouted: "Daohe, you kid owes us money, when will you pay it back?" ”

Liu Mu squeezed one head into the table, and said at the other: "Diao Xiaogongzi, isn't it just 10,000 yuan, I'm afraid I won't pay it back?" When did you blind your money? ”

Diao Cheng looked disdainful, "If you don't have money, don't come to play!" ”

"Who said there was no money?" Mao Dezu took out a piece of silver and put it on the table, and shouted, "Let's play together." ”

"Okay, bet!"

After everyone played a few laps, Diao Cheng won more and lost less, and became more and more happy, looking elated. When it was Liu Muzhi's turn to throw, Liu Muyi grabbed the canopy wood in his hand and said with a smile: "Diao Xiaogongzi, let's play with the big one." ”

Diao Cheng was on the rise, and he was willing to retreat, and said, "Okay, you say, how much?" ”

"Twenty thousand!"

"Twenty thousand?" Everyone was taken aback, this is not a decimal number, he Liu Muzhi is poor, and he can get 20,000 yuan from anywhere. Everyone knew that Liu Muzhi was going to be a scoundrel again, and no one would follow him anymore.

Diao Cheng didn't care about that, and responded: "Twenty thousand is twenty thousand!" ”

Diao Cheng's little attendant hurriedly said: "Son, can he Liu Muzhi get so much money?" You can't bet on him. ”

Diao Cheng looked at Liu Muzhi's triumphant appearance and shouted: "He can't take it out, but this son can take it!" Dao and, you throw! If you lose, you'll have to come up with 20,000 dollars! ”

Liu Muzhi snorted, his right hand clenched the wood, everyone was so nervous that they sweated, threw 20,000 yuan, and lost, and Liu Muzhi's dilapidated house and thin field were gone. Liu Muyi's face was calm, with a wave of his hand, the tree was tossed and jumped in the plate for a long time, everyone looked at it, four black and one white, Mao Dezu shouted: "Pheasant! Pheasant! ”

Everyone praised "It's so picky!" It's so picky! ”

Diao Cheng's face turned white, but he grabbed the tree without care, "Look at me throwing Lu!" ”

Just as he was about to throw, he heard a broken shout "Slow!" Everyone was shocked, only to see a middle-aged man standing behind the gambling table, wearing a small crown, wearing a collared gown, thick eyebrows, although it was a pair of small eyes, but it was shining.

"Big brother!" Diao Cheng shouted. The person who came was Diao Cheng's eldest brother Diao Kui. Diao Kui viciously said to Diao Cheng: "Bastard, who let you run around here, don't let me go home!" ”

Diao Yi, the father of the Diao brothers, died early, Diao Kui ran the family with his eldest brother, and the brothers were terrified when they saw Diao Kui. Diao Ping was about to slip away, but Diao Kui snatched the tree from his hand and stared at Liu Muzhi coldly: "Liu Muzhi, I'll throw this one!" ”

As he spoke, his hand was raised, and the tree rolled down, stopping with a crisp impact sound, Mao Dezu's face was snow-white, Liu Muzhi was secretly surprised, Diao Kui threw it was Lu! The huge Aquila Gambling House is silent. For a long time, Liu Muzhi tilted his head and pouted, "Don't count!" You don't count! said that it was me and the little boy to gamble, if he threw it, I would be bankrupt and have to lose, but your words ......"

"Presumptuous!" Diao Kui broke off and snorted, "Liu Muzhi, you ruffian!" I thought that you also claimed to be a child of a family, regardless of the truth or falsehood, and now the middle way is falling, it is also pitiful, so you are not in a hurry to recover, but you have doubled three times, out of thousands of fraudulent money, mistaken people's children. Diao Kui's words were quite loud, and Liu Muzhi didn't come up with words to refute them for a while.

Diao Kui saw that Liu Muzhi's momentum was going down, and couldn't help but stare at Liu Muzhi fiercely and continued: "Do you have any money?" ”

Liu Muzhi didn't show weakness either, "Money, I don't have it, this game doesn't count!" ”

Diao Kui sneered, "Someone! Take it for me! ”

Suddenly, inside and outside the house, dozens of people swarmed up, Liu Muzhi grabbed the way and fled, punched and kicked, knocked down seven or eight, helpless heroes are difficult to reach four hands, the tigers can't stand the wolves, and the house is too small to show. A dozen men threw him to the ground and tied him up.

"Go home" Diao Kui waved his hand and walked away. Mao Dezu was also held down by several evil slaves, tied up together, and escorted to Diaofu.

Diao Mansion is located in the west of Jingkou Street, covers an area of dozens of hectares, is the largest mansion in Beijing, three animal head gates, two big stone lions open their teeth and dance claws, and the side of the door is tied to the horse pile.

Diao Kui got off the horse, and the door came up to take the reins, and Diao Kui said: "Tie that evil ruffian to the stake, if you have no money, just beat me hard!" ”

All the slaves agreed to strip Liu Muzhi naked and tie him to the horse stake. This group of slaves is rampant in Jingkou, many of them have been angry with Liu Mu, and they are caught right now, that is a grievance and complaint, revenge, no matter what, they will not let him go, especially the fat man, now he laughs non-stop, and throws flattery at Liu Muzhi from time to time, that means very clearly, now I know how powerful the uncle is.

Two big men stepped forward and held down Liu Muzhi, the fat man held a horsewhip in his hand, and shouted: "Say! Rich? ”

Liu Muzhi said: "It's over, I will inevitably be beaten today." ”

But Liu Muzhi was naturally arrogant, how could he be willing to lower his eyebrows and pleasing his eyes, grit his teeth, and his heart was horizontal, "Want money?" No! ”

"Humph!" Diao Kui snorted, his face turned pale, and he turned around and entered the gate.

At this time, the two minions started fighting, slashed the horn, and pumped hard, Liu Muzhi's body was covered with blood, and his skin was open. Mao Dezu was also tied up strongly, and he only had to stomp his feet on one side, and his family background was a little better than Liu Muzhi, where could he get 30,000 yuan?

At this time, an oil cart came from the west, the servants all straddled the horses, stopped in front of the door of Diaofu, the bamboo curtain was rolled up, and a handsome young man walked on the car, with a white face, ruddy cheeks, clear eyes, a purple scarf wrapped in his head, a wide shirt with large sleeves, a Bo belt, and a dust tail in his hand, and his expression was elegant.

When all the slaves saw that there were guests visiting, they all stopped, and some house slaves had already entered the door and returned, and a housekeeper-like person bowed down and saluted: "The villain has given this prince a salute." ”

After a while, Diao Kui strode out, and when he saw this person, he looked like a noble son, that dress, that demeanor, but he couldn't pretend, but Diao Kui can be regarded as a person who has seen the world, this old and young man and woman in Wuyi Lane, as long as it is a little identity, even if Diao Kui doesn't know him, at least he has a familiar face, but this one has never been seen before.

Diao Kui didn't dare to slack off, so he waved lightly and said, "This minister, Diao Kui is polite." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare." The man was also busy returning the salute and said, "The contemptible Liu Guo, a native of Jincheng, Liangzhou, has come to visit Diao Gong." ”

Liu Guo? Diao Kui thought about it carefully, whether it is Jiankang City, Jingzhou, or Jingkou, no matter how you count it, there is no such person as Liu Guo, it is these Liu families, and now it is not as good as it was back then, even if there is such a number one nephew, there is no need to be afraid of him.

However, in terms of etiquette, Diao Kui still has to be in place, and he said with a straight face: "I have admired the name for a long time, like thunder, Mr. Liu, please!" ”

All Diao Kui wanted was to give him a cup of hot tea to drink, and then send him away.

But Liu Guo said: "Wait! ”

"What advice does Mr. Liu have?"

Liu Guo looked at Liu Muzhi and Mao Dezu, and then said, "Dare to ask Mr. Diao, these two strong men look good, but why are they ......?"

"Oh." Diao Kui smiled, "I won't tell you, Diao is now a little rich, in order to make some money, and at the same time serve the people, there is a small gambling house, these two are good, not only owe huge gambling debts, but also make a thousand troubles in my casino, so ......"

"How much do they owe?" Liu Guodao.

"Huh?" Diao Kui was a little surprised, and his eyes suddenly sharpened.
