Objectively speaking, after the coup so long, I thought of finding the brother of the former city lord, and I really despise the intellectual level of the coup side, so how could I overturn the current leader but keep the brother of the current leader working overtime in the office?

However, when Wang Jiu learned that Zhao Jincheng had been taken away by the coup, he felt extremely regretful. Because this means that they can only settle for the second best and go to Zhao Hongxue. The gap between the optimal solution and the suboptimal solution is self-evident.

When it comes to the name Zhao Hongxue, it is actually much more famous than Zhao Jincheng. Zhao Jincheng is just the eldest son of Jinyucheng, and he is famous with Zhao Chenlu's favor. Zhao Hongxue was the former master of Jinyucheng, a great figure who was famous in the prime minister thirty years ago.

It is also Zhao Chenlu's biological father.

However, for people today, Zhao Chenlu's biological father is far more famous than his former Jinyu City Lord, and Zhao Hongxue's reputation mainly comes from Zhao Chenlu.

After all, in peacetime, most people can't even say that the names of the current heads of the seven major families are not as famous as the Jinyu City Lord. No matter how famous the Jinyu City Lord is, he is only limited to one place. Starting from Zhao Chenlu, the reputation of Jinyu City Lord has spread all over the world and everyone knows it.

Zhao Hongxue is a typical mediocre person. He relies on his bloodline to succeed him in his prime. After he succeeded to the throne, he worked diligently and worked diligently, without any innovation or any mistakes. He seemed mediocre as a head of the family or a cultivator.

Until he gave birth to a daughter named Zhao Chenlu, and was driven off the throne of the city lord by his biological daughter early, retired early and enjoyed a comfortable retirement life.

Objectively speaking, compared to being the Lord of Jinyu City, Zhao Hongxue's life after retirement was much richer. She has served as the president of the Jinyu City Elderly Cultivator Association, vice president of the Xiangzhou Elderly Cultivator Association, honorary president of the Jinyu City Parent Committee, president of the Jinyu City Chess and Cards Association and other positions. She has made many like-minded friends (including friends of the opposite sex) and has a happy life. According to the evaluations of people around her, after Zhao Hongxue abdicated, the smile on her face was several times more than when she was the Lord of the City.

However, even so, being kicked off the stage by his biological daughter when his political career was stable, it was not a glorious resume. Half of Zhao Hongxue's reputation was regarded as a laughing stock after dinner, so it is also conceivable what kind of feelings Lao Zhao had for the daughter who helped him become famous. Even before Zhao Chenlu came to power with a tough attitude, most of the time, his relationship with Zhao Hongxue was not close.

After all, Zhao Chenlu in this life is essentially Zhao Yueming, who is dominating Jiuzhou, and has no father-daughter relationship with Zhao Hongxue. Moreover, Zhao Yueming had no relationship with his family back then, so he naturally would not get close to Zhao Hongxue.

It is also because of this that Zhao Hongxue was interpreted as a suboptimal solution by Zhao Chenlu. His influence and fame are greater than Zhao Jincheng, but his attitude and position are very suspicious. God knows whether he is happy to see his daughter being tragically couped or celebrated. In short, when Wang Jiu found Zhao Hongxue, he was in the Elderly Cultivator Chess and Card Club, playing cards with a few white-bearded old men.

"Hahaha, Lao Zhao, how many consecutive times have you been sent? You can lose such a good start. You are afraid that you have suffered from Alzheimer's disease recently."

"Yes, Lao Zhao, you played that card just now so stupid. Seeing you smash a good deck of cards, I can't bear to win."

"Brother Hongxue, your monthly retirement allowance is not particularly abundant, so let's spend less money."

Zhao Hongxue was surrounded by old men and mocked her, but she just threw the cards in her hand on the table and smiled and said, "I'll go and rest."

"What are you resting? Isn't it just that the money has been spent!"

"By the way, Lao Zhao, after your daughter was overthrown, will your former city lord allowance also be stopped? Then how can you play cards in the future?"

"Ah? Brother Hongxue's allowance is about to be stopped? Then what should we do if he doesn't come to play cards in the future?"

Faced with these card players who made the most of the injuries and took advantage of the situation, Zhao Hongxue still smiled faintly: "Don't worry, there will always be a solution."

While speaking, he walked to the corner of the room and quietly poured himself a cup of rough tea. His movements were gentle and almost humble. His insignificant temperament was really hard to associate with his ex-Golden City Lord.

Seeing Zhao Hongxue's appearance, Chen Qingming and others felt a little more confident.

Zhao Hongxue's situation is actually a good thing. Judging from the conversation between this group of card friends, his main income now comes from the allowances of the former city lord, and once Zhao Chenlu is overthrown, his allowances will be stopped... From this perspective, he definitely has the motivation to help Zhao Chenlu get out of trouble.

Even if their father and daughter have a weak relationship, as long as the benefits are sufficient, he can still be allowed to take the banner and gather Zhao Chenlu's supporters to help her get out of trouble.

Thinking of this, Chen Qingming volunteered and walked to Zhao Hongxue first: "Hello, Mr. Zhao Hongxue, I am Chen Qingming, from the Li family in Qingyun. I am currently entrusted by someone to come to ask for help."

"Is Zhao Chenlu's affairs? I'm not interested, please go back."

"...Ha?" Chen Qingming's long speech was interrupted before it even started. He felt like he was stuffy like milk. His chest was filled with blood, and he was so uncomfortable that he was dying.

After interrupting Chen Qingming, Zhao Hongxue drank the cup of coarse tea and prepared to return to the card table to continue to spend money, and did not take what Chen Qingming said to heart.

How could the girl let him go? She stepped in front of Zhao Hongxue and said anxiously: "It's really important!"

Zhao Hongxue looked down at her and said kindly: "I really don't have any interest, please go back."

Speaking of this, Zhao Hongxue's attitude is already clear enough. If you force yourself, you will be suspicious of being unreasonable. Chen Qingming gritted his teeth and said, "Let's do it this way, let's play cards once. If I win, you can listen to me and continue to say seriously. If I lose, I will never harass you again."

"Get out of Jinyu City by the way, don't get involved in the matter here anymore." Zhao Hongxue said with a smile, "This is a fair bet. Although I am not interested in the coup, this is a chess and card room. If you play cards, I can accept it. Then, come with me."

As he said that, Zhao Hongxue turned around and took Chen Qingming and others to a private private room.

"Just here, a fair showdown."

After saying that, a card table suddenly opened in front of him, and a golden deck of cards fell from the sky and fell into the middle of the card table.

"Use your most popular green card in Qingyun City to decide the winner, three wins in five games, one-on-one, right?"

While talking, Zhao Hongxue was already very skillful in washing the cards, and her actions were completely incomparable to the strangeness of the old guys on the card table just now.

Chen Qingming was sweating coldly at that time.

This is completely different from what I expected! I opened my mouth to fight by playing cards because I saw Zhao Hongxue's card skills were really bad. Even if someone with an intelligence index of 3.3, he felt that he could win.

But now it seems that Zhao Hongxue is deliberately concealing her strength!

"So surprised?" Zhao Hongxue put down the washed cards, touched her beard and said, "Since you are telling her, you should have read my information before coming. The president of Jinyucheng Chess and Cards Association, it is not worth making a fuss about how good you know the card skills."

"But you just..."

"As the president, it is a duty to make new card friends happy. Besides, the boss of this chess and card room is me. I have to pay a commission for every amount of money they win, so... do you want to play? It's still time to regret it now."

As he spoke, a breathtaking aura came to Zhao Hongxue, making Chen Qingming almost unstable.

At this time, the girl realized that no matter how ridiculous the reputation of the person in front of her, she was a top master who had served as the Lord of One City. Her true energy realm is at the peak of Paishan realm, and her soul strength is the world's first-class. Only Zhao Chenlu has the qualification to treat such a person as a fish belly.

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in bullying the little girl with fairy skills. I only have card game skills in the card game, regardless of the other ones. Of course, I hope you don't have the idea of ​​playing outside the board. This room is very strict with cheaters." After Zhao Hongxue said that, he repeated his question again, "Do you want to play?"

Chen Qingming turned around and cast a look at his companion asking for help: "Who have you played the Qing card?"

Li Chaolu and Li Xinyu immediately shook their heads and said that they had never played such a low-end game project. Li Wanqing pondered for a moment and said, "I have played it a few times occasionally, but I'm limited to the level of teasing the boss of the chess and card room, I'm afraid I'm not enough here to watch it."

Chen Qingming gritted his teeth: "It's better than not, Sister Wanqing, come and try it!"

“Do your best.”

Three minutes later, Li Wanqing, who was doing her best, stood up with a smile.

"It's true, it's not an opponent at all."

Chen Qingming was simply shocked: "Are you teasing the boss of the chess and card room with such a bad hand?!"

Li Wanqing said: "Because only if I lose, I can get in touch with the other party further under the name of asking for advice on card skills."

"You said it earlier! It's better to go on my own!"

Chen Qingming was so angry that his blood vessels in his temples were throbbing. He won three games in five games, but he gave up one game!

However, there is also something to be thankful that Zhao Hongxue's card skills are not as strong as expected. Although they crushed Li Wanqing, they seemed to be just between Shen Qingming and Shen Qingming when Chen Qingming was still in the inner gate of the Li family courtyard. He was also a good player in chess and card games. The children were invincible in the Chinese and Youth Cards.

"I'm going to switch to the second set, isn't it a problem?"

Zhao Hongxue nodded: "Whatever you want, you can do it. In short, I will win three games in five, and I will still win two."

Five minutes later...

"So, I'm just taking the lead for the second to zero, are you going to come?"

Chen Qingming looked at the result on the card table with disbelief and raised his head: "You were deliberately showing weakness just now?!"

In this second set of card game, Zhao Hongxue showed far better than the first set and even better than Chen Qingming. She took the initiative in the whole game and did not give Chen Qingming a chance to resist.

Zhao Hongxue smiled and said, "No, I just had never played Qing Card before. I just got familiar with the card path. Now I feel that my mind is much smoother... In short, can I start the third set?"

Chen Qingming was so creepy that he had never played Qing cards before. He had only used one round and was completely familiar with the card path. Such a person actually had the nerve to pretend to be a boy with money in the outfield!

But the problem now is that two of the five games have been lost first, so who can have a chance to turn the tables next?

"I'll do it."

As expected, in a desperate situation, the divine sword outside the sky stood up.

When Chen Qingming heard Wang Jiu's voice, he felt as if he had calmed down, but...

"Ajiu, have you ever played the green card?"

Wang Jiu said: "Of course not, but I just saw you playing two games and I am already familiar with the cards."
