C166 A Retired Expert

One of them was Xuan Peng, and the other was someone he had never seen before. He was fifty years old, dressed very appropriately, and the piece of jade on his waist was clearly priceless.

Duan Tianya didn't respond. He packed up the gold and silver. After he put it away, he couldn't take it by himself. Just as he was in a dilemma, this person spoke again. "Do you need me to send a few people to escort little brother?"

Duan Tianya replied, "No need. These are enough for me to drink good wine for a few months. "

That person smiled and said, "Little brother gambles only to buy wine?"

Duan Tianya was puzzled and said, "Why not use the money to buy wine?"

That person said, "Money can do a lot of things. Houses, women, trading. "

Duan Tianya waved his hand and said, "Those are not suitable for me. I think money is the right way to buy wine. "

That person smiled and said, "Little brother is so interesting. I haven't asked for your name yet. " After that, he cupped his fists and said, "I am Xuan Zhengchen. "

Duan Tianya was startled for a moment, then he asked, "Nine Tribulations Sword Arts Xuan Zhengchen?"

Xuan Zhengchen exclaimed. "You actually know about me at your age?"

Duan Tianya smiled and said, "The Nine Tribulations Sword Arts can be considered an expert in this world, but it has already disappeared ten years ago. I never thought that it would appear in a gambling den. "

Xuan Zhengchen said with a smile, "Ten years ago, there were so many experts in the world. I was also considered to have retreated in a rush. I ran to this small town and relied on the shops to open some gambling dens to make a living. "

Some people were destined to face difficulties, taking advantage of the reputation of the chaotic world. Some people, after becoming famous, deeply felt the dangers of the Jianghu, so they chose to retire.

This had nothing to do with courage, but it had something to do with the wise man who knew the situation. It could be confirmed that Xuan Zhengchen was such a person. He chose the right time to do something right.

Duan Tianya looked at the sword in his hand and asked, "Your surname is also Xuan, and his surname is Xuan. Your relationship?"

Xuan Zhengchen said, "Xuan Peng is my nephew. His father passed away early, so he entrusted him to me. "

Duan Tianya smiled and said, " Fang Cai, you said you wanted to play a few rounds with me. Could it be that your famous Nine Tribulations Sword Arts also wants to do these shady business?"

Xuan Zhengchen said, "I heard from Xuan Peng that your sword technique is shocking. This shady business means that you absolutely do not dare to do in front of your eyes. "

Duan Tianya looked at the package and sighed. "Anyway, no one can take it away. It's good to play a few rounds. "

Xuan Zhengchen asked, "What are we playing for?"

Duan Tianya thought for a moment and said, "Guess the dice!"

Xuan Zhengchen nodded and said, "Okay!"

When everything was ready, Xuan Zhengchen threw a set of dice to Duan Tianya and said, "I know the methods in the gambling den can't be hidden from little brother. There are no traps in this dice. "

Duan Tianya looked back and forth at the dice in his hand. He tossed it in the air and weighed it in his hand. He casually threw it back to Xuan Zhengchen and nodded to indicate that there was no problem.

Xuan Zhengchen took the dice and asked: "Are you the owner or am I the owner?"

Duan Tianya said, "Whatever!"

Xuan Zhengchen threw the dice into the bowl. "Let's each take one!"

Xuan Zhengchen opened his hand first. Duan Tianya listened carefully. When the table fell, Duan Tianya pushed a bag of gold and silver over. He shouted, "Big!"

Taking the bowl away, it was indeed big. Xuan Zhengchen smiled and said, "Little brother, not only is your sword skill superb, your gambling skills are also admirable. "

Duan Tianya smiled and said, "I was just lucky. "

Xuan Zhengchen pushed the bowl away and said, "It's your turn. "

Duan Tianya took the bowl away, took out the dice, and threw it into the bowl. He then put the bowl on. Xuan Zhengchen said in surprise, "That's enough?"

Duan Tianya said, "It's enough to exchange blows with experts. No matter how I shake it, I can't escape your ears. I might as well do it this way!"

Xuan Zhengchen smiled and said, "A surprise attack. Good idea. "

Xuan Zhengchen thought about it again and again and asked, "I will bet all the money on your table. "

Duan Tianya was shocked and said, "This is not a small amount!"

Xuan Zhengchen nodded. "I know. Are you afraid I can't afford it?"

Duan Tianya said, "That's not the case. Why don't we do it this way? If I lose, the money will belong to you. If you lose. . . I want you to play a few rounds with me. "

Xuan Zhengchen smiled and said, "Looks like I won't lose anything!"

Duan Tianya said, "We each take what we need. "

Xuan Zhengchen did not hesitate to say, "Big!"

He took the bowl away. Fifteen points. Although it was big, it was three and a half. To be precise, it was a leopard!

Xuan Zhengchen looked at the numbers on the dice and could not help but laugh. "I lost. "

Duan Tianya said, "I hope you can fulfill your promise!"

Xuan Zhengchen ordered Xuan Peng. "Send the gold and silver on this table to little brother's residence. " Then he said to Duan Tianya, "Let's find a place and have a few drinks first. "

Duan Tianya did not refuse and casually asked, "Do you have good wine?"

Xuan Zhengchen said, " When you go to my residence, you will have good wine. "

Xuan Zhengchen's residence was not far from the Lucky Casino. Although it was not particularly grand, it was still considered exquisite and elegant. It was not as flamboyant as the land of riches and armor, nor was it as grand as the Hero Villa. It was more like this place. It was a good place to hide from the cold and go out for the summer.

In the courtyard, there were three saffron trees. They were very tall and strong, and should be around a few hundred years old. There were many red lines hanging on them, and they looked more like they were used for making wishes. On the other side, there were 49 high and low stakes, and many wine jugs were hanging on top of them. Some of the wine jugs had already been broken. It should have been someone practicing.

Next to the wooden stakes, there was a weapon rack. There were only three types of weapons on it. Long spear, large saber, meteor hammer.

Duan Tianya looked at everything in front of him and said with a smile: "It seems like even though Hero Xuan has left the Pugilistic World, his heart has never left. "

Xuan Zhengchen said with a smile. "You are wrong. My heart has left the Pugilistic World, but the sword in my hand has never left. "

"These are the things you usually use to practice martial arts?"

Xuan Zhengchen said. "Yes, the red line on this black horn tree is for me to practice my eyesight and sword skills. This wooden stake and wine pot are for me to practice movement skills and balance. The long weapons on this weapon rack, when used together with assassination, can yield twice the result with half the effort. "

After entering the hall and waiting for less than half an incense stick of time, the food and wine had already been served. Although it wasn't a sumptuous meal, it was still the best dishes for drinking wine. Sometimes, drinking wine didn't require big fish and big meat. Perhaps a handful of peanuts could give one a different kind of feeling.

It could be seen that Xuan Zhengchen was a very good host of guests. The dishes he arranged were all very tasteful. The light and fragrant bamboo leaf green with crispy asparagus. The aged sorghum and sweet peanuts could be said to be a perfect match. Perhaps only a person who truly knew how to drink could know how good it was. In the eyes of outsiders, it was not worth mentioning. In the eyes of those who knew how to drink, It was the delicacy of the human world.

Duan Tianya drank a mouthful of sorghum and praised. "Good wine, this is the first time I've ever tasted such an aged sorghum wine. "

Xuan Zhengchen smiled and said: "I didn't think that little brother is really an expert in drinking. "
