slant [rebirth]

This means... obviously this master wants to take him under his command.

Jiang Rui was a little puzzled.

In Miaoxuan's eyes, Rong Zhai's ecstasy array is not worthy, let alone the people who set it up.But in the outside world, the person who set up the formation is probably also a master of metaphysics, at least he has some reputation in Fengshui and formation.

Regardless of that person's intentions, the person who has the opportunity to arrange Feng Shui for Rong Jingtang's house is by no means a master of ordinary level.

Even if Rong Jingtang wanted to find someone to deal with the man who set up the formation, he had to find a master of the same level. He is a half-way monk, without this diamond, how dare he take on the work of porcelain?

But the problem is that Jiang Rui knows how much he weighs, but Mr. Renrong doesn't know. Seeing that Jiang Rui is evading it secretly, he makes a final decision: "Jiang Rui, I only listen to the answer I want to hear."

Jiang Rui: "..." Hehe, what if he has to say something he doesn't want to hear?

...Forget it, don't try it.

The arm cannot twist the thigh.Jiang Rui has lived for so many years, and he still understands this.He is not a person ignorant of current affairs, otherwise he would not have followed Wang Chenghui for so many years, wholeheartedly being the sharpest sword in Wang Chenghui's hand.

But no matter how unruly a sword is, it needs a master.If not today, there will be tomorrow.If it wasn't Rong Jingtang, it could be someone else.

Jiang Rui is not someone who can be a king.With his character and ambition, he can only be the sharp sword in the king's hand, which can be used to defeat the enemy.

Compared with others, Jiang Rui's selfishness is more inclined to Rong Jingtang.Even if it is a sword, I want to find a master with the best swordsmanship and the most suitable for him.

Jiang Rui was not indecisive at first, but it was difficult to give Rong Jingtang an answer at this time.

Have to wait.

He wanted to see if Rong Jingtang was worthy of his following.

After all, he had already met Wang Chenghui and was given up once, so he didn't want to try again with that feeling.

Fortunately, Rong Jingtang didn't let him make a decision immediately.He only said that he would talk about it after he figured it out.

In order to avoid any accidents with the formation, Jiang Rui stayed in Rong Zhai for a few days to be on the safe side.

Rong Jingtang saw him again.

"Are you in a hurry to go back to Qingshi?" He asked.

Jiang Rui thought for a while, then shook his head, "I still have more than a month of vacation." The implication is that it is enough to return to Qingshi before school starts.

Rong Jingtang's complexion was slightly relaxed, and his tone was rarely warm: "Then accompany me to the Yidian border." Jiang Rui glanced at him with an unclear expression. His original plan was to leave Xiangcheng and go down to Yidian.It's no big deal for this master to control his whereabouts, why can he still read minds now?

What a perceptive person Rong Jingtang was, seeing Jiang Rui's expression changed, he guessed the reason and said, "Why, you also intended to go to Yidian earlier?"

Jiang Rui lowered his eyelids and said softly: "Well, I heard that the scenery there is good."

This is a refusal in disguise.Rong Jingtang didn't ask too much.

"What about you, what are you going to Yidian for? It shouldn't be a big deal, otherwise why would you take me with you?" Jiang Rui said.

As if waiting for his question, Rong Jingtang said with a hidden smile in his eyes: "You are going to take care of me this time, how can I do without you?"

Jiang Rui suddenly looked up at him.

"Someone made an appointment with me to compete three games with me at the Yidian market meeting in August. That person and I are not good at betting on stones, so naturally we have to find someone to do it for us. This competition is all about luck and knowledge. ability."

Jiang Rui laughed angrily.

"Rong Jingtang, when did I tell you that I can bet on stones?" Since Jiang Rui had the idea of ​​following the other party in his heart, he stopped calling Mr. Rong politely.Rong Jingtang was not unhappy about this either.

"Don't you know jade carving, so you can't be wrong when it comes to betting on stones." Rong Jingtang looked calm and unhurried.

Jiang Rui's eyes were a little dazed. Could it be that his brain is not enough? Why can't he understand the connection between the two sentences?

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Rui tried his best to soften his voice and said, "I'm sorry, I don't know anything about betting on stones. I only learned a little bit about jade carving because I'm interested in it. I can't even call it half-baked."

Rong Jingtang: "The plane will arrive in two days, you are ready to prepare and tell Uncle Cheng if necessary."

Jiang Rui's face froze: "Rong Jingtang! Did you listen to me?"

"I'm listening. In this handicap match, you can only win, not lose." Rong Jingtang got up and looked down at the gentle and handsome young man in front of him.

No matter how good-tempered Jiang Rui was, he was also annoyed by Rong Jingtang's reticent appearance, "It seems that Master Rong won't listen to what I say."

Rong Jingtang didn't seem to care about Jiang Rui's anger, but said lightly: "You also wanted to go to Yidian earlier, what were you going to do? There is nothing valuable there except jade...No, I forgot about the drugs, then It’s also a lucrative business.”

"If you don't gamble, is it possible that you want to sell drugs? The latter is unlikely, so there is only one other way to make some money, and that is smuggling and reselling."

"With your personality, you won't get into drugs. Presumably, only the other two can get into your eyes."

"Jiang Rui, do you know whose territory the Yidian area belongs to?"

"If you want to snatch food from a tiger's mouth, you have a lot of courage."

The tone was as calm as chatting, not at all sharp and aggressive, but it made Jiang Rui's back burst into cold sweat.

In front of Rong Jingtang, Jiang Rui was like a blank sheet of paper from beginning to end, writing all his thoughts clearly on it.

He wanted to make some money by opportunistically in Yidian, but he never thought of confronting local snakes with pebbles against rocks, at least not now.

Jiang Rui knew that this was Rong Jingtang's kind reminder.Otherwise, you can turn a blind eye to his temper and let Jiang Rui do what he wants.

It is indeed risky to snatch food from a tiger's mouth.But with Rong Jingtang at his side to escort him, it's a different story.

Didn't he just want to understand this for himself?

After figuring it out, Jiang Rui swept away the previous reluctance, and said with a gentle smile: "Thanks to Mr. Rong for his appreciation, I will definitely go all out this time."

During the few hours on the private plane, Jiang Rui saw all kinds of weird and picky habits of Uncle Rong, such as drinking and washing hands with specially treated clean water, not eating food that cannot be seen from the source, not eating food that tastes bad , don't eat the ones that don't look good... Most importantly, he heard from Uncle Cheng that Uncle Rong doesn't eat meat, no matter if it's flying in the sky, running on the ground or swimming in the water, as long as it's meat, he won't eat it!

Jiang Rui was shocked when he heard it!He and Rong Jingtang had dinner together twice, the table was full of meat dishes, and he even... helped someone pick up fish once!

Jiang Rui comforted himself at the time, maybe Ren Rong would like to eat that plate of fish?

But Uncle Cheng immediately broke his self-comfort and said: "Other meats are okay, but the husband hates the smell of fish the most, and he can't even put it on the table. Sometimes he frowns when he sees the word fish."

Jiang Rui: "..."

Jiang·No meat, no joy·Favorite fish·Rui stopped talking.

Rong Jingtang's meals were prepared by Uncle Cheng separately, so the two of them had no chance to eat together on this trip, but Rong Jingtang asked someone to invite him once, and Jiang Rui immediately declined in fright.

Regarding betting on stones, Jiang Rui didn't know much about the methods, but in his previous life he was very lucky in betting on stones, and he almost always won every bet.

Miaoxuan said that the jade and emeralds in the mortal world are just some vulgar things, but there is some spiritual energy in them.He has spiritual bones and is naturally sensitive to spiritual energy, so he naturally has an advantage in betting on stones.

Being dominant doesn't mean you won't lose.

Jiang Rui was not very sure about this competition.The opponent is someone who can fight against Rong Jingtang, not the ordinary rich and powerful people he has seen in his previous life.

Maybe he can't compare to Rong Jingtang, but he is also a person with great ability to dominate the side. This kind of person must find a stone gambler who is one in a million. Isn't it a matter of seconds to kill him in seconds?

In his previous life, he could only feel the thickness of the aura in the wool, but he didn't have a see-through eye, so he couldn't see whether the emerald was good-looking.

No matter how worried Jiang Rui was about the upcoming competition, the plane still arrived at Yidian. At the same time, the people from the Rongmen team who came to protect Rong Jingtang also followed all the way to Yidian.

Rong Jingtang has always been difficult to distinguish between emotions and anger, but she is extremely disgusted with these people who come from the Rong family, and she doesn't even bother to make superficial efforts.

Those people were obviously in awe of him, knowing that he didn't like it, even if they followed Yidian, they didn't dare to show up in front of him, and only contacted Uncle Cheng.

There are still four or five days before the opening of the market.

Jiang Rui and his accompanying Uncle Cheng, Sui Ming and Rong Jingtang lived in his villa in Yidianheng City.

This villa also has a name.It is said that Rong Jingtang wrote it himself, and the words on the door plaque were also written by him.

Uncrowned.

It means the uncrowned king.

Jiang Rui cast aside in his heart: Rong Jingtang said before that he was a predator, and he dared to be called the uncrowned king in other people's territory, so he is really provocative, okay?

What caught Jiang Rui off guard was that Rong Jingtang fell ill before the meeting started.

Jiang Rui used to be surprised that Rong Jingtang was weak, how could he go out without a doctor?Unexpectedly, Uncle Cheng himself is the personal doctor of the Rong family.

Uncle Cheng checked his pulse and confirmed that the high fever caused by acclimatization did not subside. He didn't prescribe any medicine, but made a medicinal meal himself, with a few medicinal herbs in it, and some dried petals from the flowers sent by Jiang Rui. , and another spoonful of nectar was added.

Rong Jingtang used to be a medicine pot in the early days, and took medicine as a meal, but later his health improved, and he didn't take much of the previous medicine, after all, the medicine was three-point poisonous.If you have nothing to do on weekdays, drink some scented tea made of Jiang Rui's flowers and honey, honey tea, which is much more effective than taking medicine.

Uncle Cheng regards Jiang Rui's things as treasures, and a few days ago he even asked Jiang Rui for honey.It's been two months since the last time Jiang Rui sent honey, and there's not much left even if you save it.

Uncle Cheng knew that Jiang Rui stopped offering flowers, and he didn't dare to ask too much about business matters, for fear of causing Jiang Rui's dissatisfaction, so he could only shamelessly ask Jiang Rui for favors.

As soon as Jiang Rui heard it, he knew that Rong Jingtang hadn't told Uncle Cheng yet, so he explained what they had talked about before.Ever since he figured it out in his heart that he already regarded Rong Jingtang as a friend, he never thought about making any money with flowers and honey. These are not rare things for him, and it's okay to give Rong Jingtang directly.

After two meals of medicinal food, Rong Jingtang's fever subsided.It's just that it's a bit unlucky to be sick again after living in the Rong's house with the Mishen Formation for a few days.

His already pale face was as white as paper, and his lips were bloodless.

Seeing him like this, Jiang Rui frowned and said, "If it's only two days' meeting, you'd better not go. It's a problem for you to walk like this. I guess you'll have to pass out a few times before you reach the place. It's still in the villa Take good care of it."

The disgusted Rong Jingtang: "..."

"I know my body well, it doesn't matter." Someone said stiffly, "Besides, if I don't show up, he won't take you seriously, and he will think I'm afraid of him."

Jiang Rui was curious: "Who is he?"

Rong Jingtang was surprised: "Didn't I tell you?"

"..." Uncle Rong, is this the rhythm of being sick and stupid for three years?If you don't want to tell, just say it, this trick is too cheap.

Seeing that he refused to speak, Jiang Rui was not in a hurry, anyway, he would always see him, but it was only two days later, at that time, could Rong Jingtang cover his eyes and not let him see.

The meeting stipulated that every VIP who is eligible to enter the arena can only bring two people into the arena, so Uncle Cheng did not go to stay in the villa that day, and Rong Jingtang only brought Jiang Rui and Sui Ming.

Jiang Rui thinks he has seen big scenes, and he has participated in many underground feasts in later generations, but he did not expect to see such a powerful underground market meeting at this time.

He has been to Yidian countless times in the past, and participated in countless big and small trade fairs, but he has never heard of this underground trade fair.

Jiang Rui glanced at the participants, and was immediately shocked by some familiar faces!

Some of them were faces that often appeared in domestic and foreign news and in major newspapers and magazines, while others were seen in photos that Wang Chenghui had shown him.

There are also some people who look low-key, but that whole-body style is definitely not what ordinary people can have.

No wonder he never even heard of this game in his previous life, let alone him, maybe even Wang Chenghui might not know about it.In front of these people, their ability is not even a small fight, not much better than ants.

For the first time, Jiang Rui saw the world belonging to Rong Jingtang's class.

It seems that Rong Jingtang and Sui Ming are not the first time to participate in this underground meeting. They are very familiar with the rules of the venue, and their attitudes are flat, no different from those in Rongzhai in the villa.

Jiang Rui was different from them, so he was inevitably a little nervous.

When the three of them entered the arena, Jiang Rui could feel that countless eyes instantly gathered in their direction.

He is a common man, no one knows him, but the person he follows is Rong Jingtang!

Not to mention anything else, Rong Jingtang's overly handsome face is enough to attract the attention of most men and women!

Rong Jingtang seemed taciturn, and always acted as if he was not close to strangers, but he didn't expect that there were quite a lot of people who knew him.And most of the people who come up to say hello are foreigners.Seeing people who can only be seen in foreign news or newspapers step up to say hello to Rong Jingtang, Jiang Rui's forehead was a little sweaty.

"Hi, my dear Rong, I haven't seen you for so long, but you are still so amazingly beautiful." Following a sentence in English, a hand suddenly stretched out from behind and directly grabbed Rong Jingtang's waist.

It's a pity that he didn't even touch the corner of his clothes, but was grabbed by another white and slender hand.

"This gentleman, respect yourself." Jiang Rui said in standard fluent English.At the same time, he smiled and let go of the tall blond foreigner, took out a tissue, and wiped his hands carefully, as if he had touched something dirty.

The blond man immediately withdrew his hand, twisted his handsome face, grinned and said, "What a strong hand, you're a little thing, but you have a lot of strength!"

Rong Jingtang turned around and looked at the blond man for a long time, frowned and said something in English that no one thought of.

"who are you?"

The latter was unbelievable when he heard the words!

"Rong! You don't even remember me? We had a romantic encounter last year in the new city of country A, and because of that, I fell in love with you at first sight and pursued you... You should have felt for me at that time!" The blond man It was almost a tearful accusation.

Jiang Rui still felt uncomfortable listening to the previous sentence, but when he heard the last sentence, he instantly understood that the gringo in front of him must have just been discharged from the hospital and hadn't taken any medicine.

Rong Jingtang directly said "I don't know the so-called" in Chinese this time, and then took Jiang Rui away without even looking at the person.

"Mr. Bernano, what are you doing here if you have nothing to do? The seed material we just bought is about to be cut into stones. Come with me." Another brown-haired Russian man shouted at Bernano in Russian.

Bernano turned a deaf ear to his companion's yelling, he couldn't understand Chinese, and didn't know the meaning of what Rong Jingtang said just now, but he felt that the other party's meaning must be to let him follow!

Don't ask him why he knows, he just knows!His love experience and intuition tell him that he must follow the beauty closely, so as not to let others get ahead of him!

Jiang Rui was afraid that the snake spirit would follow him again, so he kept urging Rong Jingtang to leave quickly.

Rong Jingtang didn't care, he had an exclusive area in the venue, and no one could enter without his permission.They have now entered the exclusive zone.

Sui Ming who was at the side suddenly said: "Young Master Jiang shot very quickly and ruthlessly just now. I saw that foreigner put his hand behind his back after taking it back. It is obvious that he was seriously injured. Has Young Master Jiang ever trained in this area? "

Jiang Rui glanced at him with a smile, and said warmly: "I practiced Tai Chi with my grandfather when I was young. If Sui Ming is interested, I will teach you."

Sui Ming was choked by his words, and wanted to refute, but seeing his master's squinting gaze, he didn't dare to say any more.

Arrived at the lounge in the exclusive area.

"It's just twelve o'clock, and the competition doesn't start at night. Let's rest here first." Rong Jingtang turned and asked Jiang Rui, "Do you want to eat something? The food here is quite clean."

The corner of Jiang Rui's mouth twitched, and he shook his head: "If you're hungry, eat something, I'm not hungry yet." He hasn't reached the Huayuan stage yet, and eating too much mortal food will hinder his cultivation.In addition, although the foundation building period has not completely inedulated, it can still not eat for half a month.

Rong Jingtang frowned upon hearing this: "I heard from Uncle Cheng that you eat very little."

Jiang Rui was afraid that he would come to the capacity-based discussion again, so he quickly explained: "I am born with a small stomach, and eating too much will hurt my stomach."

Rong Jingtang didn't force him anymore, and asked someone to prepare meals for him and Sui Ming.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Jiang Rui and Sui Ming followed Rong Jingtang to the competition hall of the venue.

As soon as I entered, I heard some people applaud: "Master Mu is indeed the person brought by Mr. Xie, and the bet is up again!"

Jiang Ruichao followed the voice and saw that it was the stadium in District [-].

The person who competed with Rong Jingtang was in the No. [-] arena.

Judging from this situation, the opponent is quite capable.

Jiang Rui unconsciously raised his head to look at Rong Jingtang, seeing that the other party still had that paralyzed face, he could only look back with a sigh in his heart.

Just as the three of them were about to walk towards the Ninth District, a familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind: "Rong! So you are here! I finally found you!"

Bernano ran over with a happy face.

Sui Ming immediately stepped forward to block Rong Jingtang: "Sir, my husband doesn't like strangers approaching, please keep a distance."

Bernano was accompanied by two people this time, one was a brown-haired Russian man and the other was a young Chinese man.

Almost the moment Sui Ming stepped forward, the young man also moved to protect Bernano.

Bernano asked the young man beside him what Sui Ming said, and after the young man translated it for him in English, Bernano hurriedly smiled at Rong Jingtang and said, "I'm not approaching, I just want to follow you."

Rong Jingtang simply said to Jiang Rui: "Let's go."

Jiang Rui nodded and followed, and Sui Ming walked at the end to prevent Bernano from getting too close.

Bernano whispered to the young man beside him, "Yue, do you know the little beauty beside Rong? He is the one who grabbed my wrist just now."

Yue Xun was taken aback, a little disbelieving: "Mr. Bernano, are you sure that the boy next to him was the one who hurt you, not the man who stood in front of Mr. Rong just now?"

Bernano felt that he was underestimated: "Even if I can't distinguish the faces of ordinary oriental people, beauties know no borders. How could I mistake that little beauty!"

Yue Xun frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head: "No, I don't know him."

"Also, Mr. Bernano, your father told me, let me remind you that if you meet Mr. Rong at this meeting, you must stay away from him."

Bernano lowered his head, and said in a sad tone: "He doesn't remember me anymore, if we stay away from him, there will be no possibility between us..."

Seeing this, the corners of Yue Xun's mouth twitched slightly, and he thought: It's impossible for you to get close!But thinking of his responsibilities, he had to dissuade him again: "Mr. Bernano, this is not Xinshi, but China. You should stay away from Mr. Rong."

Bernano didn't speak, it was obviously impossible to listen to Yue Xun's persuasion.

The voices of the conversation between the two were very low, but everything fell into Jiang Rui's ears without missing a word.

New City...Bernano...

Jiang Rui was shocked, Bernano! The mafia Bernano family in Xincheng, country A?He hasn't seen it with his own eyes, but it doesn't mean he hasn't heard of those internationally famous mafia families.

"I seem to have heard that bodyguard calling that blond man Mr. Bernano just now. Could it be the Bernano family in New City, Country A?" Jiang Rui asked immediately.

Rong Jingtang said indifferently: "I have met Old Vic, the current head of the Bernano family, and that person is somewhat similar to Old Vic."

Jiang Rui was speechless.

I thought that Rong Jingtang didn't know the other party's identity, so I wanted to remind her, but now it seems that I was thinking too much.

Rong Jingtang knew the background of the other party, and dared to look down on him so much, obviously he didn't take him seriously.

Jiang Rui mourns silently for the hopeless unrequited love of the Bernano family young master.
