Las Vegas.

"I originally heard that the young master opened a gambling house, and I thought I would disguise myself and win some money. I didn't expect that the young master would find out before we even started. What a pity."

Li Jingyao looked at Li Wuji, shook her head helplessly and said, she couldn't bear to look away from Li Wuji, and even deliberately rubbed against Li Wuji when she sat down.

This scene had long been seen by Tong Zhuo who was standing aside.

"Your Highness is joking. You are so valuable to me. How can I get into your eyes with that little bit of silver?"

Li Wuji said with a smile, and as he said so, he started to brew Kung Fu tea for Li Jingyao.

"But having said that, looking at the whole capital, your gambling house is probably the most unique in the whole city, right? I have never seen or heard of the tricks below."

Li Jingyao laughed and said curiously.

"Old Cao, bring over two decks of cards."

Li Wuji nodded and said something to Cao Zian who was guarding the door.

Cao Zian agreed and left quickly.

After a while, as the door opened, Cao Zian came in holding a deck of cards and a deck of porcelain cards, and placed them respectfully on the table.

As the door opened, Tongzhuo, who was standing behind Li Jingyao, subconsciously looked outside the door and couldn't help but hold the sword in his hand!

Outside the door, Lu Yuan stood there with his sword in both hands, his back to the room, motionless, but he was also aware of the cold breath coming from behind him.

That is the vigilance between swordsmen and swordsmen, masters and masters!

"Your Highness, this tile is called Mahjong. There are 144 cards in each deck, including character tiles, flower tiles, and ordinal tiles. It is often a four-player game. It can make pairs or make straights. There are many ways to play it, but in the end it is just Just one card can decide the outcome, which is called Hu!"

"Whoever loses his cards first among the four will win money from the other three people according to the size of the cards. As for whether he will win more or less, he still needs to calculate accurately."

"As for this card, there are more ways to play it. Some of the simpler ways to play it include blackjack, landlord fight, golden flower, fifty k, and there are also games that can be played by multiple people, such as playing big a. etc."

Li Wuji picked up the porcelain cards and playing cards and introduced Li Jingyao respectively.

But Li Jingyao, who saw this novel gadget for the first time, was confused and confused.

So, Li Wuji asked Cao Zian to be responsible for making tea, and he started playing with Li Jingyao.

Under Li Wuji's guidance, Li Jingyao gradually mastered a variety of playing methods and had a lot of fun, but her favorite game seemed to be Landlords, and she kept pestering Li Wuji endlessly. He couldn't stop and couldn't bear to stop for a while. He even had lunch in Li Wuji's room.

Li Wuji was also very patient and stayed with her without a single complaint, because he knew that this was the best time to get closer to Li Jingyao.

After lunch, the two of them started to play again. It seemed that they had forgotten the time, and Li Jingyao had long forgotten the business of the future.

In the room farthest from Wuji's room, Pang Xiaoxiao was sitting at the table with a hint of resentment on his face.

On the table next to her, there was a bowl of soup that she had made herself. It had been there for a long time and had no trace of warmth.

Cao Zian stood aside respectfully, occasionally glancing at Pang Xiaoxiao, but hesitated to speak.

"Brother, are you still playing?"

After a long time, Pang Xiaoxiao finally asked.

"yes."

Cao Zian swallowed and responded hesitantly.

Pang Xiaoxiao smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said nothing more, but there seemed to be a flash of disappointment between his eyebrows.

"Miss, how about I heat up the soup and bring it to the young master?"

Cao Zian hesitated and asked tentatively.

"No need, since they haven't had enough fun yet, let them continue playing. Besides, I don't want the soup to be drunk by the person inside."

"Fall it."

Pang Xiaoxiao shook his head. As he spoke, he stood up and walked inside. He glanced at the bowl on the table and waved his hand.

Cao Zian agreed, sighed, and slowly exited the room with the bowl of soup.

...

In the evening.

Li Jingyao finally felt tired, ended the game, and had dinner in Li Wuji's room.

Although the restaurant has now become a gambling house, the original cook of Qingfeng Restaurant has been retained by Li Wuji. Although his skills are not as good as those of the imperial chefs in the palace, he is generally pretty good.

"I didn't expect that I actually lost track of time while doing this, and it was already dark."

Li Jingyao smiled and took a sip of tea, looked at Li Wuji and said slowly.

"If Your Highness likes to play, I can order someone to prepare two new decks of cards and take them with you when you leave."

Li Wuji said with a smile.

"No need, no matter how fun things are, it all depends on who you play with. Even if you were in the palace back then, I'm afraid you wouldn't have as much fun as you do today."

Li Jingyao waved her hand and said sincerely, with a different light in her eyes.

"Then your Highness can come often from now on. I'll be waiting for you at any time."

Li Wuji responded with a smile.

"good."

"I remember that the young master said last time that if I need it, the young master is willing to do whatever he can to help me, right?"

Li Jingyao nodded, looked at Li Wuji, and asked seriously.

"That's right, I do what I say."

Li Wuji replied affirmatively.

"That's just right. In a few days, I really need to trouble the young master with something. I wonder if the young master can agree to it?"

Li Jingyao asked with a smile.

"Your Highness, it's okay to say so."

Li Wuji nodded and became serious.

"On the fifteenth day of this month, the envoy from the Kingdom of Qian will arrive in the capital to pay tribute to us. Your Majesty has specially ordered me to be responsible for the reception and treat them with state courtesy. However, I have never liked such entertainment. It is very boring."

"Furthermore, Qianguo has always been at odds with Liguo in the past few years. Over the years, it has been eyeing our country. The border armies of the two countries often had frictions. They tried their own experiments and fought several big battles. Only the year before last, we were forced by our country to send heavy troops.

Zhiwei chose to surrender to our dynasty."

"But I have always been disgusted with the people from this country, and I heard that they brought some knowledgeable people with them this time to exchange literature between the two countries with us. This matter has always given me a headache."

"Young master is a great talent. I wonder if you can go with me to meet them. With you here, it won't be too boring."

Li Jingyao took a sip of tea and started talking a lot. Finally, she looked at Li Wuji expectantly, waiting for Li Wuji's reply.

"Since His Highness values ​​me so much, I have no reason to refuse."

"However, I have always disliked strangers and have a cold nature. If I offend the envoy, I hope your Highness will forgive you."

Li Wuji smiled and agreed without hesitation, but he still left something to say in the end.

"Very good!"

"If you offend them, you are offended. Anyway, I don't like them. I didn't give them a good look when they entered the capital last year. There is no need to spoil them!"

"Since the young master has agreed, you can't go back on your word!"

Li Jingyao said with a smile, her face full of joy.

"I will never regret it."

Li Wuji smiled and nodded.

"Okay, then I will send someone to pick you up. Remember to bring your piano! Ever since I heard the sound of the young master's piano last time, I have often thought of it, and it is still unforgettable to this day!"

As Li Jingyao spoke, she stood up and prepared to leave, as if she was afraid that Li Wuji would regret it the next second.

Li Wuji did not refuse, and decisively agreed, personally sending Li Jingyao to the door of the building.

After watching Li Jingyao's carriage go away, an intriguing smile gradually appeared on Li Wuji's lips. Everything was developing as he expected.

On the street.

Li Jingyao was sitting in the carriage, with an uncontrollable smile on her lips, and all the scenes that happened today were flashing back in her mind.

But Tong Zhuo, who was sitting on the shaft of the carriage driving the carriage, had a solemn expression on his face. What flashed in his mind was not Master Wuji, but the young swordsman who was about the same age as him and was guarding Master Wuji outside his door.

"Your Highness, have you ever noticed the sword-wielding guard of Young Master Wuji?"

After a long time, Tongzhuo finally couldn't help but ask.

"Well, what's wrong?"

Li Jingyao, whose thoughts were interrupted, glanced at the carriage door, nodded and asked.

"That's a master, he may have reached the ninth level!"

"Moreover, the murderous intention is very strong..."

Tongzhuo said hesitantly.

"How does it compare to you?"

Li Jingyao raised her eyebrows and asked slowly.

"Within a hundred moves, I'm afraid it's hard to tell the winner."

Tongzhuo thought carefully, frowned and replied.

Hearing Tongzhuo's answer, Li Jingyao showed a hint of surprise, but it only passed away briefly, and then she smiled without saying anything more.
