If the Water Margin

Chapter 261 Victory within reach

Ximenqing squeezed his earlobe with his hand. He hoped that this pain would bring him sober thinking. If Wang An really arranged someone in advance, he would definitely make an agreement with that person to enter the door immediately after seeing the incense burn out. In this way, if you can put the position of incense in a place that cannot be seen outside the door, it can indeed reduce the risk to some extent.

But, wait, wait. Ximen Qing knew that if he agreed this time, there would be no room for retreat. After all, the word "Ximen" has been written, and the only thing left is to make up for a "Qing". Wang An's initiative to make concessions may still have such a mystery. Think about it.

Ximenqing repeatedly observed the surrounding scenery and did not see any clues. Then he withdrew his eyes and looked directly at Wang An. Ximen Qing hoped to see Wang An's last card by using this method, although he also knew that such a method had few effects.

Wang An dodged Ximenqing's eyes and made the same action as Ximenqing, pinching the earlobe with his hand. Host, what's wrong with you? Does your ear hurt a little? If you feel uncomfortable, let's not gamble.

Yes, why didn't I think of it just now? Ximen Qing suddenly realized that although Wang An turned his back to the door, the conditions just now also said that when the incense burns, he must also be able to see it. He only needs to scratch his hair, touch his back, or pinch his ears like this when the incense is about to burn out, which can play a signal to others. Although Ximen Qing will also observe and supervise carefully, after all, he can't see the actions behind Wang An. Wang An is likely to use his back to convey the message of Ximen Qing's failure. This should be Wang An's last card, and it should also be the reason why Wang An has been looking around since he entered the door. All this has been thought of by Wang An. Even when I saw through his tricks just now, it is likely that he had already prepared a backup plan, so he can not be in a hurry now.

"Oh, I'm all plates here. It's too troublesome to write. The words just now are a little crooked. Get up first. I'll sit over there and finish writing my name." Without waiting for Wang An to reply, Ximenqing stood up and walked to Wang An's seat, while Wang An said "Oh" and stood up reluctantly and sat in Ximen Qing's seat.

After Ximenqing sat down, he did not start writing, but said directly, "Oh, Wang An, I think your place is good. Well, let's change places. You sit at my place and I'll sit at your place. Anyway, your name is short, just write it randomly."

"This...owner, this is not good." Wang An rubbed his hands. Facing the door is the master's seat, and only those with a respected position can do it. You are the owner, and I'm just an accountant. I'm not polite like this. Wang An's tone of voice was a little unnatural.

"Oh, you are just too polite." Ximenqing smiled secretly in his heart. When he bumped into me, he didn't see you have so many etiquette. Don't you feel a little uncomfortable when you suddenly say this now? However, Ximenqing's face did not appear, but his smile as usual. In this bet, it is not necessarily who wins or loses. If you win, my 20,000 taels will be yours. If you are richer than me, you will be the owner. Don't stick to it. You have to listen to me while I'm still the owner.

Ximenqing did not allow Wang An to say anything else, but brushed the dots and wrote the name. After that, he should have pressed his fingerprints. At this time, he remembered that the clerk didn't use the mud just now. He couldn't really bite his finger to press the fingerprints. It's unlucky to see blood in advance. Ximen Qing was stunned for a moment and saw the dishes on the table. Suddenly, he had an idea and dipped his big finger in some vegetable soup on the plate and pressed it on his name. The color is different from the ink color, and this fingerprint is also unique.

"I'm done. It's your turn." Ximen Qing picked up the bet in front of him with one hand and handed it to Wang An.

Wang An did not answer, but continued to rub his hands. My host, I can't sit like this. I'm really not used to it, which makes my conscience restless.

ecstasy is no longer enough to describe Ximenqing's mood. He made so many demands in this bet, and only this one was rejected by Wang An twice in a row. If one refusal is a pretentious gesture, the two rejections should be Wang An's last bottom line. What's more, Ximen Qing really can't figure out. In this almost harsh situation, Wang An has any other way to win the bet.

"What's not used to? I'm your boss. Now I order you, you have to get used to this position of honor. Look at me, I'm used to where you sit. Hahaha." Ximen Qing waved his left arm and showed his comfort to Wang An.

Ximenqing has been holding the bet in his right hand and is unwavering in front of Wang An. Wang An had to take it over, then picked up the pen and signed his name.

"The owner, there is no mud..." Wang An showed an embarrassed expression to Ximen Qing.

"Use vegetable soup, you see, that's what I do, and the effect is also good." Ximenqing felt that Wang An was pretending to be confused. Wang An must be thinking about some way to delay the time and could not let him succeed.

"I think you can't continue to eat if the dish is defaced." Wang An's words have been flattered.

"I'm full. Besides, I don't think my accountant's hands are dirty, don't you think? There is something in Ximen's words, and the fierceness is revealed.

For this reason, it is difficult to continue. Wang An's mouth grew several times without making a sound, so he had to dip his finger in vegetable soup and press his fingerprints. Ximenqing saw clearly that Wang An's hand was shaking slightly. Ximenqing became more and more sure that he was sure to win.

"Man over there, bring a incense burner and take a few more incense sticks, accompanied by a fire fold." Ximen Qing couldn't wait to finish what he wanted to say. He couldn't hold his beating heart. Victory was within reach, so why didn't he extend his hand longer?

As fast as ever, incense burners, incense and fire folds are ordinary things. Naturally, they are always available in the restaurant, and everything is ready after a while. Ximenqing took a look at the fragrance, which was the most common kind. Despite this, he still carefully checked it and was afraid of what Wang An would do. For this reason, he deliberately broke one. There was no problem. It was too stupid to touch and foot on it. Ximen Qing inserted the incense into the incense burner, then lit the incense with a fire fold, and gently blew out the fire folds.
