Chapter 162 Redeem the gambling ticket, it's the wind and rain building again!
The capital of the Zhou Dynasty.
It was in the morning, and the streets were bustling with men, women, and children. It was already a hot summer day, and half a year had passed since the Spring Festival.
There was a flash of light outside the city gate, and Xia Yu's figure walked out.
When the gatekeepers saw that it was the cultivator, no one dared to offend him, so they all shouted and ordered the mortals who were lining up to enter the city to make way for Xia Yu to enter the city first.
Entering the city, the scene was still the same as before, not much changed. Xia Yu went straight to the Chengxi Inn where he originally lived.
When he came here, his face darkened.
I saw that the surrounding shops were still the same as before, but this inn had obviously experienced a fire and was reduced to an empty frame, and the residents inside had long since disappeared.
"Not good." Xia Yu's expression changed and she secretly felt bad.
The Supreme Emperor Zhou Yuan, an old and sinister person, would never give up. As expected, his mother was still murdered! But he didn’t know if he was still alive or where he was.
"Staff, may I ask when the inn next door cooked it?" Xia Yu walked into a restaurant next door and threw a piece of silver over.
"You are Xia Yu!" The restaurant waiter recognized him immediately.
He first rose to prominence in the spring competition and attracted the attention of the whole city. Some people still remember him.
Xia Yu did not deny it and asked again, "Before I left, my mother and three family members lived here. I want to ask you about it."
At this moment, there were other people having breakfast in the store, and they all gathered around.
Someone said, "Xia Yu, wouldn't you be dead if you went after the demon cultivator?"
"Yes. The new emperor even held a grand funeral for you."
"You're not dead!"
Someone also provided information, "This Yuelai Inn caught fire three months ago in the middle of the night. No one knows what happened. Anyway, many people were burned to death, and the owner of the inn also died. In the past few months, this area has become a deserted place."
The main wasteland is no longer cared for."
"Three months ago?" Xia Yu asked with a gloomy face, "Has anyone seen my mother?"
"No."
"But three months ago, the new emperor just returned from holding a grand funeral for you, and even got close to your mother. If there was a fire in the inn, it was after that time."
"Yes, yes. It was in the middle of the night, the people who escaped were all separated, and everyone else was burned to death. The fire was so big!"
When Xia Yu saw the people who were still in fear, his heart was like a fire. It was obvious that this fire was related to Yunzhu! And it was certain that this should be the handiwork of the Supreme Emperor Zhou Yuan.
"This matter is under the jurisdiction of Tianfu. You can go there and ask." Someone else suggested.
"good."
Xia Yu walked out of the restaurant and did not go to Shuntian Mansion. These yamen were held in the palm of the Supreme Emperor's hand. How could he tell the truth?
He analyzed it in his mind and concluded that my mother was probably not dead yet. She was quickly taken hostage by Zhou Yuan. As soon as he came back, Zhou Yuan would use my mother to coerce him.
Xia Yu deliberately broke into the imperial city and questioned the Supreme Emperor face to face. But if that happened and my mother was pushed out as a hostage, Xia Yu would be very passive.
The best way is to find Yunzhu first.
But where to find out the news?
Xia Yu thought for a while and ran towards the gambling house in the city.
At this moment, it was not a lively moment in the gambling house. When the door opened, there were only a few bad gamblers standing outside the door.
I saw a figure in white walking proudly into the gambling house. He held his head high and his chest high, and he was far from comparable to those gamblers.
"Master monk, what do you want..." Immediately, a handsome man came up to meet him.
"Cash the gambling tickets." Xia Yu said, taking out a pile of gambling tickets.
He placed a heavy bet on himself at the beginning, especially when the odds of betting on him to win the championship were as high as 1:309 at the beginning. Later, as he showed his strength, the odds gradually dropped, but Xia Yu always insisted on betting on himself to win the championship.
After investing tens of thousands of gambling money and converting it according to the full odds, the gambling house would pay Xia Yu more than three million spiritual stones.
The young boy picked up the gambling ticket and looked at it. His face turned pale immediately. This kind of thing was not something he could handle. He quickly said, "Master monk, please wait a moment, I will call our steward."
When the steward received the news, he didn't dare to come out. He quickly said, "Go to the third prince's house immediately and ask Mr. Li to come."
The third prince is the third prince. After the ninth prince ascends the throne, he becomes the prince.
And this gambling house is the property of the palace, and the general manager of the palace is also the head of the gambling house, Manager Li.
In fact, the gambling house has stubs for the gambling tickets it issued. After Xia Yu won the championship, the gambling house conducted an internal self-examination and found that if these gambling tickets were cashed, it would be a big loss!
Fortunately, no one came to cash the gambling tickets.
These gambling tickets also have a redemption date and will expire after half a year. Now that half a year has passed, they will expire in a few months.
Unexpectedly, someone actually came to pay.
Manager Li's face darkened, and he asked, "What kind of cultivation level does the person who comes to pay you have?"
This is the basic operation of a gambling house to engage in evil deeds. Any gambling house would not be willing to give these more than three million spiritual stones because they simply cannot afford it.
"He is a young man with a first-level cultivation in Changhe Realm."
Manager Li once again looked ugly. If he was of low cultivation, he would have sent someone to kill him. As it turned out, the other party was an ancestor of the Changhe Realm. He did not dare to make a decision, but it was absolutely impossible to pay for the more than three million spirit stones.
of.
"Send someone immediately to invite the killer from Fengyu Tower! Even if it costs one million spiritual stones, it's worth it!"
To kill a young ancestor at the first level of Changhe Realm, three hundred thousand spirit stones are enough!
However, the situation was urgent, and Fengyu Tower was dispatched urgently, so they raised the asking price, collected 500,000 spirit stones, and sent a strong man from the fourth level of Changhe Realm to lead people.
Xia Yu was in the gambling house, waiting from morning to noon, and then straight into the afternoon. He knew that the gambling house was thinking of a solution, and he was not in a hurry to see what methods the gambling house was going to use.
It was around three o'clock in the afternoon, when the sun was at its strongest, and all the clerks and stewards in the gambling house quietly evacuated. A strong man covered in black clothes led seven or eight people in black.
Walked in through the door.
It stands to reason that Feng Yu Tower is mainly about assassinations.
But today they felt they were sure of victory, so they just barged in openly.
"Surround this small building!" The leading man in black walked into the hall, looked at Xia Yu and said, "You are the one who will cash the gambling ticket? Boy, seeing that it is not easy for you to practice, you can put the gambling ticket and get out now.
Got it!"
"After a long time, we invited Yanyulou to take action." Xia Yu clapped his hands and stood up, asking, "How many spirit stones did they give you to take action?"
The man in black sneered, "I'm not the only one! Yanyulou will definitely complete the business after receiving it! I'm telling you, they handed over five hundred thousand spiritual stones!"
"That's it." Xia Yu pointed to the gambling ticket in front of him and said, "There are more than three million spirit stones here. I will give you 600,000 spirit stones. Can you get out of here?"
"Bastard!" the Yanyulou killer scolded, "I told you, Yanyulou will definitely complete the business after receiving it! No matter how much you pay, we will not violate our credibility!"
"After receiving the business, it must be completed?" Xia Yu laughed.
Yanyulou has failed once and twice, and to interfere again this time is to seek death.
"Let me tell you again, Yanyu Tower has nothing to do with this matter. The matter between me and the gambling house is not your business, Yanyu Tower!"
"Boy, why are you so arrogant?" The Yanyulou killer's face hardened, and his figure teleported.
The next time he appeared, he appeared invisible behind Xia Yu. At the same time, he had a sharp blade in his hand.
Mental power suppresses and kills!
Brilliant sword light!
This is the method used by the Yanyulou killer to first teleport, then become invisible, use his mental power to restrain the opponent, and then kill him with one strike!
Those practitioners who were weak in cultivation or lacked combat experience were directly confused by this trick. Many people did not understand what happened and died on the spot.
But he encountered a tough problem today.
The mental power he released was completely useless, and the other party was not affected at all. Instead, at that moment, there was a creepy feeling behind him.
"roar!"
He suddenly turned around and saw a tall giant ghost saint standing behind him.
In front of the Ghost Saint, he was not enough.
The Ghost Saint grabbed him, his face full of ferocious joy, he hadn't eaten blood for a long time, he must die!
