On the deck, Zhao Chuanxin was wearing a dark gray coat, lined with a black turtleneck sweater, and Chelsea leather boots.

He looked at Ao Island quietly. Although it was a small place, it was closely connected to the mainland.

It is said to be an island, but at most it is a peninsula.

Zhao Chuanxin came here for the first time in his life, and he immediately felt speechless: "This damn thing should not be allowed to be occupied by the Portuguese."

Speaking of Hong Kong Island, at least half of its area is isolated on the sea, which is fair to say.

But Ao Island is an integral part of the mainland, but the Portuguese defrauded the Portuguese of a piece of meat.

The roots are still in the Ming Dynasty.

In the Qing Dynasty, after the Opium War, the Portuguese did not even pay land rent and unilaterally declared Ao Island a free port.

If nothing else, who made the Qing Dynasty lose?

Zhao Chuanxin gritted his teeth in hatred when he thought about how Portugal, a big place like Portugal, dared to ride on China's neck and lord it over China.

But now is not the time to take it back by force, because he can't hold it.

Someone once encouraged him to rebel, but Zhao Chuanxin flatly refused.

The Qing Dynasty has been on a roll in just a few years. It cannot be seen and there is no need for internal friction at this time.

If he really rebelled, he would have to face all the pressure from the Qing Dynasty and the great powers at the same time. He might even turn against Sun Gongwu because of his ideals. It would really be more harm than good.

Moreover, as war spreads, the people of China will suffer.

If he succeeds, he will face the same mess as in the original history. If he fails, he can just pat his butt and leave. No one can keep him, but what about the displaced people?

People with no brains come up with the idea of ​​"rebellion" without thinking about the consequences.

Li Zhitao asked: "Master, what are you thinking about?"

"I'm thinking, 27 years later, how will the Japanese take the blame for me?"

"..."

Li Zhitao's mind is full of questions.

The best time to retake Australia Island is not now, nor at the beginning of the next era, but when the Japanese start jumping.

At that time, not only Macao Island, but also Hong Kong Island, Zhao Chuanxin wanted to take back all of them.

Of course, no one knows what he is thinking.

Li Zhitao geared up: "The boss, Lu Jiu from Ao Island, made his fortune by opening the show. The deputy boss set a limit for exchanging chips and prohibited borrowing. But now that the venues are open, isn't this both a show and a show?

Do you want to erect an archway? Why don't the head personally let go of this opening so that we can make a lot of money."

Zhao Chuanxin's expression changed drastically, and he slapped him on the head: "You are looking for death!"

Li Zhitao has seen the insurance team's methods and witnessed Zhao's ability to pass the salary with his own eyes. He can only say that the name of the God of War is well-deserved.

Although he was now in great glory and was beaten by Zhao Chuanxin, he still felt that it was natural and could not even think of resisting.

He sneered and shut up.

Zhao Chuanxin turned around, looked at the many members of the adjudication panel behind him, and said fiercely: "This place in Shushan is a last resort. It is a springboard for us to enter Australia. I will not let your investment go in vain, but no one should try too hard."

Make money by relying on it. If anyone dares to reach out randomly, I will chop off his claws!"

Zhao Chuanxin rarely gets angry at his own people, but once King Kong glares angrily and the four demons surrender, everyone becomes trembling with fear.

Li Zhitao no longer dared to speak.

When the boat docked, Zhao Chuanxin jumped in immediately.

Behind them are all strong men with sturdy backs and shoulders, wearing uniform work clothes, with the word "Judgment" embroidered on their chests, and below it is the small characters "Xuan Tianzong".

Uniform work uniforms can increase group awareness and cohesion.

In the 21st century, old fritters hate this and think it has wiped out their own personality.

But at this time, all the workers in Hong Kong are eager to wear the uniforms of Xuantian Sect.

In addition to the meaning represented by the uniforms, the clothes themselves are also of good quality, stiff, stylish, wear-resistant, and fashionable.

Of course, ordinary people can't wear it. Even if someone has money and can find a tailor to make the same style, most people won't dare to wear it because they will get beaten.

The Outer Harbor Pier is as lively as Hong Kong Island.

When people walking around the area saw such a maverick team, they all cast curious and shocked glances.

These days, even the top soldiers may not be uniformly dressed.

Not to mention civil organizations.

Some knowledgeable people shouted out: "This is the Xuantian Sect, the Xuantian Sect in Hong Kong Island, their clothes are like this!"

"What are they doing here?"

"You don't know something. The newly opened Shushan Mountain is the property of Xuantian Sect."

"I've been to that lousy place, and they're talking about a limit. I'm losing my own money. Do they care? It's really like a dog trying to meddle in other people's business."

"Yes, do you know why my great-grandfather can live to such a long age? It's because he meddles less."

"But these people look really tough."

Zhao Chuanxin turned a blind eye to the people pointing around him.

On the pier, Liu Wang was wearing a suit and leather shoes. He looked eagerly and saw Zhao Chuanxin and others walking quickly: "Master."

This guy is worthy of being the leader of Hong Kong Island's "entertainment industry". He has made rapid progress in the area of ​​aesthetics. His clothes fit very well, and his shoulder sleeves are particularly well done.

By the 21st century, the best tailors in China will probably be on Hong Kong Island.

Zhao Chuanxin nodded: "How is Shushan?"

Prince Liu showed dissatisfaction on his face: "The people have arrived, but I stopped them outside. They are shouting and making a lot of noise. We are just waiting for the leader to arrive."

Before Zhao Chuanxin could speak, Li Zhitao became anxious: "Quick, quick, let's go quickly."

It seems that the amount of investment in this guy is not small, and maybe all the wealth is tied up in Shushan.

A group of people got on the carriage and rushed towards Shushan.

The road is very close, right on Lotus Road.

This is the most prosperous area with many casinos.

Zhao Chuanxin was surprised and saw red cloth hanging on the outer walls of many gambling houses, with the words "White Jade Comes In" written on the left.

On the right it says: Green clams fly in.

In the middle it says: Kill all three parties.

There was a gambling table outside the door, with more than a dozen people gathered around it, and there were about seven or eight people at the table gambling.

Yelling and screaming, the sound shook the rubble.

After opening the cup, some people sighed, some people were in high spirits, and some people who didn't want to be too embarrassed to watch the fun made endless noises.

This reminded Zhao Chuanxin of a time when he was a child. There was a small shop at home, and people would gather there to play cards every day. It was a small game, but it was very lively. Every winter, there would be people going to order mao every morning, more than anything else.

All must be positive.

Later, people in the village went to the city, people in the city went south, and the number of people outside the customs gradually decreased, and the lively atmosphere was no longer there.

When he grew up, playing cards with relatives and friends was no longer the atmosphere it once was, it really turned into gambling.

A table of players with a monthly income of less than 4,000 yuan dared to play mahjong for 10 yuan and 50-100 yuan, which made Zhao Chuanxin's scalp numb.

You win or lose several thousand yuan in a day, do you have a mine at home?

He used to make money from his craftsmanship, and his monthly income was 100,000 to 80,000 yuan, but he did not dare to make such a gesture.

If it was just the happy-go-lucky gameplay that Zhao Chuanxin remembered from his childhood, he actually didn't dislike it.

During the holidays, in Lugang Town, he also organized a mahjong game to get addicted to the game.

But if you gamble aggressively, that's a different matter. This thing can make people bankrupt, sell their sons and daughters, and make them lose their humanity.

Rape, kill, gamble and steal.

Li Zhitao seemed to like Ao Island very much. Although he was anxious, he noticed that Zhao Chuanxin was looking over there and introduced him: "Master, that's a fan stall. Use a porcelain cup to hold broad beans or chess pieces. Guess the number or odd or even numbers."

."

Zhao Chuanxin nodded with a wooden face.

There are countless gambling houses like this on this street.

Soon, we arrived at Shushan.

The name Shushan is really fairy-tale, but after seeing the appearance, Zhao Chuanxin burst into laughter.

That’s it?

Just from outside, he could tell that it must be very dark inside.

It is very different from the splendid casinos described by friends who have been to Ao Island in later generations.
