Sure enough, Master Zhuang's spells were better than his medical skills.
Qia Yuheng came to see me. He heard that I was going to see the Demon Queen's new house, so he wanted to go with me to see it. I was very happy and agreed.
As a landlord in the Demon City, he is also half an expert and has a deep understanding of architecture. Naturally, he can help me find out if there are any problems.
Thinking that I had to be whipped ten times to get this house, I couldn't help but be more cautious, as if I was worthy of myself.
On the way, he suddenly remembered the gambling game on the day he was beaten, and curiously asked him why there were such people in the Demon Court?
Yu Heng smiled very happily and said, "That's nature. The sun shines, everything grows, and small gambling is enjoyable. There is naturally room for such things. It's just that these small scenes are the favorites of ordinary people, and people like the Demon Court
You probably haven't really seen the things you are playing with. This matter can only be regarded as the tip of the iceberg. If they take the chance of you being beaten as a bet, the bet for each of them is probably a thousand gold, not much bigger...
...But if the official said that he would give you 10% of your gambling capital if you win the bet, he would probably do it, because the gambling capital of this bet is not a big deal at all. Moreover, you are now the focus of the demon city,
I'm afraid this is not the only gamble that will fall on you. This kid has already tasted the sweetness, how could he let go of your way of making money so easily?"
"Then you mean they still have big bets?" I asked.
The fact that I received ten lashes for my relationship is not a big deal in the eyes of Yaodu people.
Yu Heng nodded and said, "That's natural. Anything can be used as a bet. Among these old fairies who have lived for eight hundred years, which one is not rich and addicted to gambling? Even the Fairy Queen.
There is nothing you can do against them. Bet on small things and bet on big things. For example, the battle at Fengpin Mountain was a big battle between the three demon kings united against the demons. It is said that depending on the total scale of the bet here,
It’s already reached the scale of tens of millions of gold! Tens of millions is enough to buy a piece of territory... Even for this reason, a servant of the Demon Court’s household department called Fukan’s brother was beheaded by the Demon Queen.
, the reason is that in order to profit from it, he actually used money from the Ministry of Accounts to participate in the gambling game! Naturally, public funds were used for personal use. He lost the gambling game and I don’t know whether he got the money back or not. Anyway, this man’s life was involved in it.”
"This is not the most hateful thing. The most hateful thing is that these people sometimes take risks to win bets, influence the progress of things, ignore the interests of the demon clan for their own interests, and make countless people lose money because of their greed.
Life, causing the demon clan to be directly defeated in a certain battle! Such people are the most vicious people."
I exclaimed: "Is there such a thing?"
Yu Heng smiled and said, "Yeah. If you have time, you can check the files from that year. It is clearly recorded that there are all kinds of wonders in the world. They bet on wonders, so the demon queen can only kill them ruthlessly. Otherwise, how could the demon clan be able to support this?
Thousands of years of war? In addition to this kind of thing, there are even more bizarre ones. It is said that there are also gambling games that do not use gambling money as gambling capital!"
"No gambling money? What is that?"
"Political capital!"
Ha, I know this. In fact, after reading so many official documents, I deeply understand that if politics is completely regarded as a game of interests, then naturally everything can be exchanged, and things that can be exchanged have value, then they will naturally
It can become a "gambling capital" in a certain sense.
"Haha, do you understand this?" Yu Heng was slightly surprised. He originally thought that I didn't understand anything.
Hehe, I understand a little, I understand a little. I said modestly.
I originally thought that the house given by the Demon Queen was just a courtyard with an official office, but I didn't expect that it was a large courtyard covering an area of 80 acres. Moreover, the courtyard is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the layers follow the mountains.
It is built with not only cliffs but also streams and waterfalls. It takes into account many benefits of accommodation, scenery, official business, and villas. The most important thing is that this courtyard is also located in the core area of the aristocratic area. It is really beautiful.
According to the people staying behind at the Ministry of Household Affairs, the courtyard given to Zhao Yanran by the Demon Queen is on the left, and it is arranged in the same size as this courtyard.
My God, where is this place for people to work? Is this place for people to take a vacation?
I stamped my feet on the ground with determination and said with a smile: "This beating is worth it!"
Under the sun, a rainbow was reflected in the water mist blown by the wind. It was incredibly beautiful. I stood by the stone railing and looked at the waterfall close at hand. I couldn't help but come up with a few more good sentences: "Clear springs and flying waterfalls are red."
The eaves are double, and the cliffside is covered with mountain azaleas. Drunkards come to Yaochi to make wine, and they lie drunk on the stone railings and listen to the gurgling music. The prince of the flower demon lives here, holding a red thread in one hand. The beauty of demons can be discerned in the sun, and the moonlight is more distant than the immortals in the sky.
I wish Yue Lao to get drunk from the same cup, and the demons and humans to share the beauty of the moon."
"Ha!" I sang a song, and Yu Heng seemed to be happier than me and said, "Sure enough, the Demon Queen was right about the person. The Crown Prince's thoughts are really far-reaching and limitless!"
"Hey, blah, blah, blah, I only know how to do my best. If we can really form multiple marriages among the three clans of demons, demons, and humans, the world will be peaceful from now on. Then I will die of old age."
Hahaha……
We laughed together.
It's not realistic for me to live in a new house and let all the beauties stay in the inn. If these girls don't say anything, they will definitely crush me to pieces and swallow me alive. Considering this, I took Zhuang Fuzi and Liangya with me.
When Tianyao and a group of servants came to the house, they had already asked Master Zhuang to arrange accommodation for everyone.
With such a big yard, it would be a pity not to be full if it is full.
In the evening, Liangya went to each house to check the household items and settled everyone down. Tianyao didn't know when he had built a tea doctor's stand by the stone fence. Yuheng and I had been chatting for nearly a whole day.
We talked about the situation in the Demon City in general.
Yu Heng stood up and said goodbye. I gave him a landscape calligraphy and painting I brought from home. He accepted it happily and said, "This is good. The Seven Treasures Tree given by the demon envoy two days ago is already a treasure. Put it in my
Hua Man Lou is so beautiful that nothing can be said about it. This calligraphy and painting by Prince Shizi looks antique and adds a lot of brilliance to Hua Man Lou!
Very good, very good!
Um.
The kidneys are good. The kidneys are good. I responded. That's natural. If someone gives something to the bride-to-be, it's natural for me to give her gifts to the bride-to-be. Otherwise, wouldn't it be ugly if someone talks about it?
Of course, I'm not afraid of what Yu Heng has in mind.
He had an idea in mind, otherwise he would talk so much nonsense to me? Could he tell me so much about the situation in Demon City?
I don't care what he wants in the future, or what he wants from me. Only when there is exchange and friends, there is value.
What I care about is that after this lesson taught by the Demon Queen, I understand a truth.
If there is a reward, there must be a reward, and if there is a reward, there must be a reward.
"Sir, the tea is cold. I'll change it for you." Tian Yao looked at me and looked at the direction Yu Heng was leaving without speaking for a long time, and brought me back to reality.
