Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 41: Deviants Have Always Come From Barren Mountains and Wild Rivers
Zhang Yongjin really wanted to tell Zhang Deqin that he was bullied. But after his face changed several times for a while, he did not say it.
It was because he felt that this matter was too embarrassing, and he really could not talk about it. Zhang Yongjin did not want to rely on his brother's strength to solve the problem, as he wanted to wash away the shame and take revenge alone.
“Kak, it's okay. The thing is, I drove fast and almost hit someone. I pressed the brake pedal and hit the glass. “Zhang Yongjin spoke with a flushed expression.
“You lied, how could your hands be bruised? Why are your knees covered in dust? Why are you afraid to say that you lost against someone in a fight? “Looking at how Zhang Yongjin's vision was trying to avoid hers, Zhang Deqin's expression turned cold as she scolded him in a loud voice.
“I-I-I .. i-I-I-I ..” Zhang Yongjin may be tall, strong and dashing, but he has a tremendous fear of his Brother. That fear was deeply embedded in his bones. He had tried to give his all to get rid of him, and was still unable to break away from this cage.
When Zhang Yongjin was about to tell the truth, the door was pushed open as the Long Brothers and Tang Xiu walked in.
Upon seeing Long Zhengyu and his men arrive, Zhang Deqin walked back to his chair, as his elegant appearance was also restored. Thus, Zhang Yongjin was also fortunate to escape great tribulation.
“Chief Long, You brought us here and then you ignored us. Is this the hospitality of your Long’s Dining Hall to entertain the guests? “Zhang Deqin did not wait for Long Zhengyu to speak as he took the first stance to take momentum and show his impressive demeanor.
“Head Zhang always speaks frankly. However, aside from your esteemed self, Long’s Dining Hall also has more important guests. This long naturally cannot always stay in the room to accompany you. “Long Zhengyu smiled as he replied casually. He then continued, “In addition, Long’s Dining Hall service has and will always be first class. Regardless of whatever needs Chief Zhang wishes, you only need to press the call bell on the table, and our attendant will be coming soon to satisfy all of them. ”
Compared to Zhang Deqin's overbearing style, Long Zhengyu's words and style were like a paragon's demeanor, as he could make people feel like the spring breeze, making people ashamed of their own behavior.
“You ..” Zhang Deqin obviously did not expect that Long Zhengyu would take the approach of a tit for a moment. He subconsciously wanted to curse out loud, but then recalled Long Zhengyu's incomparable eloquence in the debate. He did not dare to continue talking to Long Zhengyu and instead turned his gaze to Tang Xiu.
However, Zhang Deqin only glanced at Tang Xiu, and was too lazy to look at him a second time.
It was because Tang Xiu's appearance was really too ordinary and bad. His coloured checkered shirts, which can be found in street stalls everywhere, his pale washed jeans, and his canvas shoes were almost punctured with his toes. Overall, from top to bottom, his entire body was not even more than 100 yuan.
Zhang Deqin had always been pampered and pampered from birth. She had used to be the daughter of heaven with a luxurious lifestyle. He believed that extraordinary people would never come from poor and humble families, this was the truth. Thus, the superiority complex towards people with poor backgrounds had become his nature, as well as had been underestimating from the depths of his bones towards them.
“Head Long, I don't know which honored guest you have said, can you recommend that person to Me?” With a doubtful expression, Zhang Deqin looked behind brothers Long Zhengyu and Long Zhenglin and asked with a smile.
“Ah, Head Zhang has been funny since I haven't seen you. Honorable people were naturally far away on the vast horizon. You have invited Jia Ruidao to help you, while we invite Brother Tang to help us. If Chief Zhang doesn't mind, we can start this gamble. “ Seeing clearly the contemptuous expression on Zhang Deqin's face, Long Zhengyu couldn't help but sneer at her in his heart.
When Long Zhengyu first saw Tang Xiu, he indeed felt a little disappointed. However, for the sake of his younger brother, Long Zhenglin, Long Zhengyu did not judge Tang Xiu just on his appearance, but carefully observed Tang Xiu, and even minor details went unanswered from his observations. The following scenes earlier had also shown that Tang Xiu had to be intelligent, far beyond their imagination.
Although Long Zhengyu did not know what was going on between Tang Xiu and Zhang Yongjin, but Long Zhengyu was absolutely sure it was not because Zhang Yongjin had mistaken Tang Xiu with others, but rather that he was completely convinced, because he lost his attitude because of fear.
Long Zhengyu also personally saw the expressions of Hu Wanjun and Xue Renfei when they saw Tang Xiu. A terrified expression flashed from their eyes. Although it quickly passed, but as sharp as Long Zhengyu's senses always were, he could see it.
One person might say that he mistook someone for someone else. But could it be even if 3 people were wrong at the same time?
“What, he did you ask for help?” After hearing Long Zhengyu's words, Zhang Deqin's beautiful eyes instantly turned wide as she let out a sharp voice.
“If the memory of this old man does not disappoint me, never such a person is seen in the gambling community of Shuangqing province.” Jia Ruidao observed Tang Xiu as she then spoke in a deep tone, “Head Long, are you joking with this old man? ”
“Head Zhang, Grandmaster Jia, I'm not kidding with you. Brother Tang is indeed not someone from our society. To be honest, after Grandmaster Jia announced that he would help the gangs, none of our society dared to go forward and become a champion for the Longs. The Long Family has been forced into this situation, and can only ask for help from people outside our circle. “Long Zhengyu seemed to be very satisfied with the effect that Tang Xiu brought and created onto the stage as he patiently explained it to them.
After listening to Long Zhengyu's slightly helpless and depressed words, a proud expression flashed across Zhang Deqin and Jia Ruidao's faces. They finally trusted Long Zhengyu's statement.
“Head Long has really always been very powerful and can even find hidden masters among ordinary people. I'm so ashamed of my own inferiority. ”Zhang Deqin and Jia Ruidao haven't spoken yet but Zhang Yongjin's voice has echoed in the suite as he burst into laughter.
Previously, when Zhang Yongjin saw Tang Xiu together with Long Zhengyu and Long Zhenglin in the same place, he panicked and did not think thoroughly. But now, because he knew that Tang Xiu was someone who was invited by Long Zhengyu and Long Zhenglin to deal with Jia Ruidao, he thought it was ridiculous and absurd when he looked at Long Zhengyu with a hint of mocking touch in his eyes.
Although he did not know about Tang Xiu's true identity, but Zhang Yongjin was almost certain that Tang Xiu was a peasant disciple, and was even most likely a villager from the Walled Hill Village.
“Interesting, this is too interesting! We think that after Grandmaster Jia acted, no gambling leader would dare to appear in this Shuangqing Province. Never once did I think that the Long Family would take the winding and winding road, and even invite a Grandmaster out of nowhere! ”
“Head Long, if you want to give Walled Hill Village to us, directly give it to us. Why must you deliberately insult Grandmaster Jia? ”
Along with Zhang Yongjin's loud laughter, Xue Renfei and Hu Wanjun also couldn't help but follow the wind.
If they had to compare their combined combat power against Tang Xiu, Zhang Yongjin, Xue Renfei and Hu Wanjun were really a bit afraid of Tang Xiu. But as for gambling techniques, Tang Xiu was not even worth a penny to compare himself to them. Moreover, what Tang Xiu's sheep would pitted against was not them, but the King of the Shuangqing Province Gambling —Jia Ruidao.
Why did they remember their miserable defeat under Tang Xiu again and again, Zhang Yongjin's trio gritted their teeth furiously. And now, as they had finally caught a hard-to-get opportunity, they naturally could not help but ridicule and laugh at Tang Xiu.
“How do you know Master Tang?” Seeing the unusual reaction of the three, Zhang Deqin asked with a puzzled expression.
Only at this moment did Zhang Yongjin's trio realize that their reactions had completely lost their own composure.
“Kakak Kepala, I, Yongjin, and Wanjun traveled to Walled Hill Village yesterday. We met this guy at the top of the hill. We wanted to buy the game out of this guy's hands, but he refused, so we had a fierce disagreement. Therefore, we were so angry when we saw this punk again! ”Xue Renfei knew that he had to deceive Zhang Deqin, and only admitted a few facts.
“Head Brother, how could this punk deserve to be called Master? As the saying goes, ‘Wild people always come out of barren mountains and wild rivers’. This punk has no decent culture or personal qualities. The only thing he had was brutal strength. “Given the front cover of his car that had been destroyed, Hu Wanjun added fuel to the fire with gritted teeth.
At first, Zhang Yongjin also had the thought of following the humorous Tang Xiu. However, when she saw from the corner of her eyes Tang teased vaguely at Xiu, a chill suddenly struck her as her body involuntarily shivered, and she did not dare to speak anything.
“Good, since people from both sides have come, let's start gambling. This old man still has to fly to Macau. ”Jia Ruidao looked at Long Zhengyu and spoke with a dissatisfied expression.
It was very clear that after hearing the words of Zhang Yongjin's trio, Jia Ruidao felt that today's gambling was really a joke. Long Zhengyu had Tang Xiu come completely to humiliate him, and not to win the gamble. Therefore, Jia Ruidao held a grudge against Long Zhengyu.
Clearly feeling the expression in Jia Ruidao's eyes, Long Zhengyu's heart thumped slightly. He was aware that Jia Ruidao had misunderstood him, and he also knew that he had offended this Gamble King and the consequences.
But when he remembered that Jia Ruidao had long chosen to stand as his opponent, Long Zhengyu quickly turned calm and took it lightly.
“If Brother Tang doesn't mind, then let's start the betting.” Long Zhengyu did not explain further, but his eyes looked at Tang Xiu with a curious expression.
At first, Tang Xiu wanted to ask about the types and rules of gambling, but he took the words that would speak and swallowed them back.
Tang Xiu was well aware that if he asked, he would be laughed at, and this would also involve Long Zhengyu and Long Zhenglin as they would be looked down upon by those people. So, he decided not to ask.
“It's okay for me, we can start anytime.” Tang Xiu glanced at Zhang Yongjin and the others with a calm and composed expression. Even a hint of shame or anger could be seen on his face, but it was somewhat apathetic in his tone.
After seeing Tang Xiu's deep and unfathomable demeanor, Jia Ruidao let out a cold snort, as he rang the bell on the table.
“Small pieces, do you want to compare the numbers, or do you want strange or even rules? Or do you want to play another game? ”While waiting for the attendant, Jia Ruidao spoke to Tang Xiu in a condescending tone.
When she heard the words of these “Tiny Scoundrels”, a trace of anger emerged from Tang Xiu's eyes. This statement is too harsh and harsh.
“Old pieces, choose the one you think is good. So you won't find an excuse when you lose! “Tang Xiu finds that he will be constantly bullied if he continues to give them concessions. This time, he no longer gasped and stepped back, but started a counterattack instead.
“YOU…!! Since you have prepared yourself for your own disgrace, then let's play Dice[1]. It's simple, and it won't be too much time, “Jia Ruidao spoke furiously.
“I'm fine with that, I won't ask more.” After hearing Jia Ruidao's reply, Tang Xiu was overjoyed when she declared her agreement.
Tang Xiu was afraid that Jia Ruidao would propose complex gambling games because it meant that he would have to spend more time figuring out the rules of the game and adapting to them. He was afraid that if it took too much time to learn and adapt to the rules, he would lose his gamble.
Chinese dice are another case of everything. Although Tang Xiu had never played this dice gamble, but he had seen it on TV, while he had also played it to pass the time when he and his classmates visited KTV to sing[2], she said, so he is no stranger to this kind of gambling. Out of fear that Jia Ruidao would take her words back, Tang Xiu hurriedly obeyed her when Jia Ruidao had just finished speaking.
