Dongfang Shuo laughed and was proud.

"Come here, come here. I will leave tomorrow. Today I will have a breakup banquet, come together."

When Hu Xijun heard the three words "Discontinued" and cried so hard that he snotted. Dongfang Shuo smiled and hugged her in his arms and patted her gently. "Don't cry, don't cry, it won't look good if you make up. Hurry up and go to buy wine and cut your flesh. If you don't get these guys drunk, what should they do if they rob your money? No matter how good your knowledge is, you are afraid of kitchen knives. I can't beat three of them by myself."

Hu Xijun burst into tears and smiled, wiped his tears, and hurried away.

Liang Xiao and others climbed over the wall and turned around the gold and brocade on the table. Tu Niuer said, "You are so greedy, why don't you go to rob the tomb?"

Pang Shuo said: "It's not that he doesn't want to steal. Such a big man, how big a thief hole should he dig? Besides, there is no other person in Chang'an City with his figure. Where can I escape when something happens? So, it's better to rob the tombs openly."

"It makes sense. Dahu, you've become much smarter recently."

"Ph, I'm smart."

Liang Xiao ignored the two tampers and sat down beside the desk. "What's Hu Ji's reaction?"

Dongfang Shuo also sat down with a relaxed expression. "I am ready to start, but I will not be in Chang'an. I counted my fingers and found that your danger should be in Huainan territory, adjacent to Jiangdu, killing people in Huainan territory, and then quickly leave Huainan and enter Jiangdu."

Liang Xiao smiled and calculated with his fingers. You really think you are a god. He believes in Dongfang Shuo's ability to observe words and expressions, but he does not believe in any calculation with his fingers. In history, Dongfang Shuo was just as skilled as a magical idea, but he was skeptical about it. Dongfang Shuo in front of him did not have any immortality, but he looked more like a charlatan.

"You don't believe it, why don't we bet?"

Liang Xiao glanced at Dongfang Shuo with a smile. "How to bet?"

Dongfang Shuo was angry by Liang Xiaoman's careless expression and slapped the table. "You can gamble whatever you say. If I lose, I don't want the remaining commission."

"Okay. Let's bet where Hu Ji will attack. I heard from Master Liu that Huainan is also called Jiujiang because the Yangtze River has nine bends in Huainan. If you calculate, Hu Ji will attack between the two bends. You don't need all the remaining commissions, just limit it to ten gold."

"No." Dongfang Shuo shook his head. "That is, at the transaction price of 500 gold, you still owe me twenty-seven and a half pounds of gold, how can you calculate it for ten gold?"

"Don't have to be that much, right?" Liang Xiao frowned. "I don't care, you've suffered too much."

"It's okay. I can definitely win. If I win, I will have fifty hardware."

Liang Xiao refused, but Dongfang Shuo stared at Liang Xiao and insisted on betting on a huge sum of twenty-seven and a half kilograms of gold. Liang Xiao had no choice but to reluctantly respond. Dongfang Shuo pinched his fingers and calculated, and finally said: "From west to east, it is between the seventh and the eighth bends; from east to west, it is between the second and the third bends."

"Are you sure?" Liang Xiao frowned slightly, believing and doubting.

"I'm sure." Dongfang Shuo smiled proudly. "Do we want to establish a contract? Avoid someone paying the debt when they are."

"Oh, that's not necessary." Liang Xiao shook his head. "Our accounts have been cleared, so there is no need to keep accounts."

"What?" Dongfang Shuo was furious: "The account was cleared before you even bet? Do you want to cheat?"

Liang Xiao glanced at him and finally couldn't help laughing. "Hahaha, Man Qian, do you think you were staring at my eyes just now, I don't know you are testing me? Unfortunately, I am not Hu Ji, you can't guess my reality."

Dongfang Shuo was suddenly weak. "There are no...nine bends?"

"There are only three obvious bends, and you can barely count them as five, and there are definitely not seven or eight."

Liang Xiaole was overjoyed. He had long suspected that Dongfang Shuo’s so-called magic tricks were just meticulous observations, just as he was good at speculating on people’s hearts, just as he could read the mind. He brought out Liu Ling’s statement to make Dongfang Shuo believe that the Yangtze River in Huainan really had nine bends.

Dongfang Shuo did not have full faith, so he had to increase the gambling money to observe his reality. If it was fake, he would definitely be happy to increase the gambling money, and he showed his tricks. With Dongfang Shuo's observation ability, he could immediately see the problem.

Dongfang Shuo's mind reading skills that have been tried and tested by others, but when he came to him, he encountered a Waterloo. It's not that he is smarter than Dongfang Shuo, but he was not led by Dongfang Shuo's psychological suggestion. In terms of understanding psychology, he can be eight streets away from Dongfang Shuo.

"It turns out that the traitor looks like loyalty, the fake looks like the truth, and it seems that honesty can deceive people." Dongfang Shuo sighed: "Okay, I lost, we will clear up."

"You can't say you're all wrong. From common sense, starting from the river near the Jiangdu border is indeed a choice to move forward and backward. Whether it's not entering Jiangdu or fleeing to Danyang in the south of the Yangtze River, pretending to be a Vietnamese to commit crimes, it's a good idea. So, this bet is a draw."

"Why?" Tu Niu'er shouted. "Twenty-seven and a half pounds are not a small amount."

Liang Xiao ignored Tu Niu'er. To him, although Dongfang Shuo seemed unreliable, his value was far from being reflected in twenty or thirty gold. Just as Liu Ling was willing to spend hundreds of gold to bribe him, he was also willing to spend dozens of gold to bribe Dongfang Shuo.

This is also a kind of investment, and it is a long-term investment.

Dongfang Shuo was not humble and agreed to Liang Xiao's decision. Not long after, Hu Xijun bought wine and meat and prepared a sumptuous dinner. Dongfang Shuo had already made a decision. His relationship with Hu Xijun was related to this and he would part ways tomorrow. Hu Xijun showed off his unique skills, which would inevitably leave a deep impression on Dongfang Shuo.

Liang Xiao and others were very satisfied with the food and returned home with great pleasure.

...

After the Empress Dowager's birthday, Liang Xiao received a notice from the departure. He told Tu Niuer that Pang Shuo was optimistic about his family. When he was away, he should practice martial arts well and not run around. If he had anything, he would look for Dongfang Shuo, or go to Weiyang Langguan to find the Li Jiao brothers. He is just an ordinary Langguan now and wants to serve people. He is not qualified to lead his servants on the way, so he had to leave them in Chang'an.

Liang Xiao went to Huainan residence again and said goodbye to my mother and Li Rongqing. While happy, Liang Magazine regretted that Li Rongqing could not accompany him. Li Rongqing was proficient in assassination techniques and could not only help Liang Xiao handle chores, but also serve as a personal bodyguard. However, Liang Xiao’s status is not enough now, so there is no talk of these.

Liang Xiao went to see Liu Ling again. Liu Ling also wanted to go with him.

"I'm meeting with you outside the city. I want to discuss some things with the envoy." Liu Lingruo looked at Liang Xiao meaningfully. "The road may not be peaceful."

Liang Xiao's heart moved. "What did Master Weng hear?"

"Someone complained in front of the Empress Dowager, saying that the court allowed the ministers to be the ministers and was mean to be rude to the royal family. Among them was Zheng, the prime minister of Jiangdu, at that time."
