Chapter 316

"Who else!"

In the brightly lit first-floor hall of the gambling den, dozens of people sat around a corridor covered with a red carpet.

At the very front of everyone, Yuan Shu, dressed in a black brocade robe and holding an arrow, roared arrogantly at everyone, his face flushed with excitement.

"I just want to ask, who else is not convinced!"

"Stand out!"

Yuan Shu's gaze swept across the surroundings; the gambling den was silent for a moment, and then a burst of flattery erupted.

"Young Master Yuan's throwing skills are unparalleled; we are ashamed of our inferiority, ashamed of our inferiority."

"Young Master Yuan's divine power has descended to the world, killing in all directions; we have already lost all our money, Young Master Yuan, please let us off."

"General Yuan is amazing, we admit defeat, we admit defeat!"

Listening to the voices around him, the expression on Yuan Shu's face became more and more proud.

Several sons of nobles in Luoyang who came with Yuan Shu also kept flattering him.

At this moment, three bronze pots were placed not far in front of Yuan Shu.

The three bronze pots were arranged from far to near.

The first bronze pot was more than two feet high, with a mouth the size of a bowl, and was three meters away from where Yuan Shu stood.

The second bronze pot was smaller, only a little over a foot high, with a mouth the size of a child's fist, and was further away, nearly four meters.

The third bronze pot was like an embroidery vase, with a mouth two inches wide, and was five or six meters away.

Arrows were scattered all over the ground around the three bronze pots.

Only a few arrows were stuck in the first and second bronze pots.

Yuan Shu's eyes were full of pride.

The arc on his lips was even more uncontrollable.

"A bet is a bet, come, come, bring the money." Yuan Shu waved his hand.

The gambling den's waiter immediately brought a wooden tray.

It was piled high with gold cakes.

Yuan Shu waved his hand casually, and the waiter immediately put the tray behind Yuan Shu with a full face of smiles.

The attendants who came with Yuan Shu collected it.

In a corner of the gambling den hall.

A person dressed in purple, with a fair face and clean skin, dressed like a young master, watched all this with beautiful eyes.

Seeing Yuan Shu, who was full of pride, there was half disdain and half observation in those beautiful eyes.

There was almost no one among the aristocratic children who was not proficient in the sport of pitch-pot.

Although Yuan Shu was also an aristocratic child, was Yuan Shu's technique necessarily the best?

Obviously not.

Everyone in this gambling den who could bet with Yuan Shu was just deliberately giving money to Yuan Shu.

Eighty percent of the people sitting in the hall knew this clearly in their hearts.

In order to please Yuan Shu and to get a connection with Yuan Shu, what was a little gold and silver?

Although they seemed to have lost, as long as Yuan Shu won happily, those who lost were actually the winners.

Just as Yuan Shu was satisfied with his harvest and was about to step down from the stage,

Yuan Shao arrived.

Yuan Shao led the way, followed by Duan Yu, Cao Cao, Xu You, and Wang Fang, who stepped into the hall of the gambling den.

In an instant, everyone in the gambling den hall focused their eyes on Yuan Shao's group.

Yuan Shu, who was just about to step down, naturally stopped and looked at Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Duan Yu.

When he saw Duan Yu, Yuan Shu couldn't help but frown.

And the atmosphere in the gambling den changed accordingly.

It was known to almost everyone in Luoyang that although Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao were brothers,

their relationship was actually not good.

There were three most famous young people of the Yuan clan in Luoyang.

The first was undoubtedly the eldest son of the Yuan clan, Yuan Ji.

And the second was not Yuan Shu, who was also born of the main wife.

But Yuan Shao, who was born of a concubine.

Compared to Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao had a greater reputation.

And he had a wider circle of friends.

Although Yuan Shu currently held the position of Colonel of the Huben, his reputation was much weaker than Yuan Shao's.

Therefore, when Yuan Shao walked into the gambling den, almost everyone in the room who knew Yuan Shao stood up to greet him.

And Yuan Shu, who was full of spirit on the stage just a second ago, was instantly left out in the cold.

In the corner of the gambling den, the noble young master dressed in purple didn't react when he saw Yuan Shao.

But when his gaze fell on Duan Yu, his eyes lit up.

"Heh, I wonder who it is."

Just as Yuan Shao was greeting everyone one by one,

a cold, mocking voice came from Yuan Shu's mouth.

The sound in the room instantly went silent.

Yuan Shao's expression didn't change, and he said to Yuan Shu with a smile: "Gonglu, I have guests today......"

"So what if you have guests?" Yuan Shu raised an eyebrow and said: "Is 'Gonglu' something you can call?"

"Since when did our Yuan clan stop distinguishing between elders and juniors?"

"I am the legitimate son of the Yuan clan, and you are just a concubine's son, a child of a little maid, how dare you call my name?"

"Child of a little maid"......

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the room dropped to freezing point.

Duan Yu's gaze also turned to Yuan Shu.

"Child of a little maid."

It was not "son of a bitch."

Although these two phrases were similar, they did not mean the same thing.

The latter was actually an evolution of the former.

"Child of a little maid" was not a true curse, but a phrase with a humiliating meaning.

Yuan Shao's mother was a maid.

This status was called "born of a concubine."

A maid was also called a "little maid."

What Yuan Shu said was a fact.

It's just that this fact had an insulting nature.

"Yuan Gonglu!"

When Yuan Shao heard the four words "child of a little maid," his face also turned cold and he said: "I said, I have guests today, and I don't want to compete with you."

"Don't go too far!"

"Heh," Yuan Shu sneered: "Too far?"

"Isn't what I said the truth?"

"Who doesn't know that you are a child of a little maid in my Yuan family?"

"Yuan Gonglu!" Yuan Shao roared.

Yuan Shao, who had already drunk some wine, was overcome with anger, and his face turned red.

The room was silent.

The two sons of the Yuan clan were competing, and the others could only listen and watch.
