Chinese people love to gamble, and this has been the case since ancient times. It can be said that wherever there are Chinese people, there must be casinos. Even if the court explicitly prohibits it, it will not have much effect. The flowers of casinos are still blooming everywhere.
It is extremely splendid. Not to mention the distance, there are three large, two small and five casinos in Qizhou City. The most luxurious among them is "Winner", not to mention that it covers an area of about a hundred acres.
No matter how luxurious the storefronts along the street in the downtown area in the south of the city are, the cheers and the jingle of the falcons that come from the depths of the courtyard from time to time are alluring. For any gambler, once they get there,
At that point, once you are sure, you can no longer move away. You have to kill the generals in and lose completely before you are willing to give up. As for whether there will be consequences of losing your wife and children, no one can care about it.
Let's gamble first. Therefore, the business of this "Winner" casino is always astonishingly good. In addition, the background behind it is terrible. Other casinos always have their ups and downs, but it happens that there is only "Winner".
"It's always a sure profit without losing money. No, today's "winner" is full of gamblers. It's very lively. Even the gatekeepers who are responsible for welcoming people and sending them off are also very busy and have no profit at all.
A little bit of free time.
"Hey, Fourth Brother, are you leaving now? Don't you want to play a little longer?" A waiter at the door of "Winner" who was busy greeting customers saw a sharp-faced man walking out of the casino and hurriedly left him.
The others hurried over to greet him with smiling faces.
"Damn, I lost all my money again. I'm so damn frustrated!" "Daobiao Lian" looked tired, yawned widely, stretched out viciously, and cursed angrily.
.
The waiter looked like he was used to the dejected look of the "knife-faced" person, so he comforted him with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, the tide is turning, and the fourth brother will definitely win big next time.
Go on your way, see you next time."
"Damn it, why don't you just wait for me to give you money? Damn it, I still don't believe in this evil!" The "sword-striped face" turned around, spitting pus hatefully at the casino door, and vented his anger.
After a while, he walked into the crowd of people on the street, cursing, and wandered around boredly. He wandered around the street for a while, walked around South Street a few times, and suddenly quickened his pace, swimming like a fish in the crowd.
After traveling for a while, he ducked into a small alley with few pedestrians. He ran quickly without raising his head. He ran through several streets in a blink of an eye and rushed into a maze of small alleys. He flew for a while.
After running, he stopped in a deserted alley, took a few breaths, looked around for a while, and after making sure no one was following him, he lazily walked forward slowly along the alley.
Humming a little tune in his mouth, he wandered to a dilapidated door deep in the alley in a leisurely manner. He took out a copper key from his waist and was about to go to the copper lock on the door.
He stopped, his ears twitched, and he was about to respond when he suddenly heard a greeting from behind: "Iron Four!"
The voice was not loud, it was very low, but it was full of murderous intent. The body of the "sword-striped face" froze immediately, and did not look back. He just said calmly: "Your Excellency, you have admitted the wrong person, a certain family
Liu Si."
"You can't be wrong..." the man behind him said with a sneer, but before he finished speaking, the man with the "sword-striped face" was already in trouble, but when he saw him stamp his feet, he had already jumped up, spinning in the air, his feet
He swept it out like a knife, trying to catch the person behind him off guard.
The reaction of the man with the "sword-striped face" was not unpleasant. This move of "Double Whip Kick" was really fierce. His feet were slashing in the air with a strong whistling sound. Even the dust on the ground was stirred up by this move.
Rising in the air, if it hit the target, it would definitely kill the person behind him on the spot. Unfortunately, such a fierce attack still fell into the air. Without him, the man with the "sword-striped face" jumped up just now, and the person in front of him was
The two wooden doors suddenly split open, and a pair of big hands forcefully punched two large holes in the wooden door. As the sawdust flew around, they pinched the neck of "Knife Face" with one move, and immediately killed "Knife Face"
" He was pulled down from the air. At the same time, the man behind the man with the "blade face" stepped forward and hit the man with a palm accurately on the forehead of the "blade face" man, immediately knocking him out.
The "knife-faced" man was knocked unconscious.
"Brother Eighteen, is this a piece of shit?" The dilapidated wooden door collapsed, and a strong man was holding the "knife-faced" man who had fallen into a coma with one hand, while looking at the man who was already standing at leisure.
Yan Shiba, who was standing aside, asked respectfully.
"That's right, it's this dog thief. Ying San will take him to the secret kiln, and I will inform His Highness myself." Yan Shiba glanced at the "knife face" in disgust and said casually.
Ying San nodded, pinched his lips, whistled, and carried Tie Si, who was like a dead dog, to the entrance of the alley. A heavily covered carriage drove over quietly, and Ying San casually took the
Tiesi threw Tiese into the carriage, jumped on the carriage, and made a gesture. The coachman wearing a bamboo hat nodded knowingly, whipped his whip, and the carriage rushed up, disappearing into the crowd of people on the street in an instant.
Yan Shiba waited in the alley for a while, and after making sure that no one else noticed the robbery, he shrugged his shoulders, walked out along the alley with a smile on his face, leisurely blended into the crowd, and went straight to the Plum Garden.
Go, but he did not notice that a fortune teller not far from the entrance of the alley watched Yan Shiba leave. He also hurriedly packed up his stall and left the place in a hurry. At the same time, a salesman in the distance also hurriedly
Walking into a small alley, he dropped the load on his shoulders and ran away like flying. After a while, an idle man who was doing nothing at the entrance of the alley also looked around and hurriedly walked westward.
What's even more interesting is that a tea doctor in a teahouse was dozing in a teahouse with no customers, but after all the suspicious people at the entrance of the alley left, he even left the teahouse and left the empty teahouse behind.
After a while of rushing towards the east of the city, the last person to leave was a beggar walking on the street. Seeing that the group of strange figures had dispersed, the beggar stood up, smiled silly, and took the
Picking up a broken bowl on the ground, he walked into a small alley and disappeared.
In the study room of Meiyuan, Li Zhen, who was full of spring breeze, and Nalong, who was looking worried, were sitting opposite each other, playing the most elegant game among the literati of this era - Go. Although Li Zhen didn't play much chess on weekdays, in his previous life,
The basis is that his level is not comparable to that of people of this era. Although Nalong can be called a good player, how can he block Li Zhen's offensive? Coupled with his uneasy mind, this chess move was made
He was even more cowardly and was killed horribly. Just as he was walking to the left and right, he saw Yan Shiba leading the people in in a hurry. Nalong hurriedly took advantage of the situation and surrendered, standing aside to wipe his sweat.
"Your Highness, the person has been captured." Yan Shiba strode up to Li Zhen, bowed and succinctly recounted the course of the action, and finally said: "All forces have appeared. It turns out that
Are the plans going ahead as usual?"
"Oh?" Li Zhen didn't express his position immediately. He just glanced sideways at Nalong who was uneasy, smiled, looked at Ying Wu who followed Yan Shiba in, and asked: "Lao Wu, how is the situation?
"
Ying Wu was the last beggar to leave the scene. Of course, he had already changed out of his dirty and smelly beggar clothes. When he saw Li Zhen asked, he hurriedly bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, all targets have been met."
Appeared, the secret kiln was exposed, and spies from all sides gathered around."
Oh, damn, your hands and feet are very nimble. It’s interesting! Li Zhen smiled and didn’t ask any more questions. She looked at Nalong and said, “Sir, can we start?”
Nalong glanced at Li Zhen uneasily, lowered his head and said: "Your Highness, as the old saying goes, the son of a rich man cannot sit down in court, and an iron man will kill him if he kills him. Why bother to give birth to more of this kind of right and wrong? Please note
Desire leads to waste. Even if this strategy can accomplish the result in one battle, if His Highness has an emergency, wouldn't it be... Well, I thought it would be better to plan it slowly and start slowly."
Obviously, Nalong had not warned him once, but Li Zhen had already made up his mind. Li Zhen had always been arbitrary in matters concerning the art of war. At this time, Nalong was still uneasy, but Li Zhen didn't think so either.
He thought, and said with a smile: "Soldiers are deceitful. They use the right approach to win by surprise. There is no danger of defeat. Since all parties hope for chaos, then chaos will be good. I am not afraid of chaos. Don't worry, sir. I, the king
You will not push yourself to show off your strength, but you will know how to measure yourself."
"That's alright." Nalong still couldn't convince Li Zhen when he saw it. He smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "Since Your Highness has already decided, let's get started." After a pause, he looked at Yan Shiba and said, "Shiba
, I must protect His Highness with my life, and don’t let the thieves hurt Your Highness!”
Yan Shiba put away the smile that always hung on his face in the past, and bowed with a solemn expression and replied: "Sir, don't worry, Shi Shiba has to make sure that His Highness is safe even if he has this stinky skin!"
"Don't worry so much." Li Zhen shook his head with a smile and said: "I can break through with all my troops, why should I be afraid of those eggless thieves? Send the order and start taking action!"
"Yes, obey!" Seeing that Li Zhen had already given the order to start action, Yan Shiba and Ying Wu did not dare to delay. They each bowed and agreed, strode out of the study, and went separately to pass on the order.
The early spring night came early, and it was only a quarter past one hour. It was already dark, and it was time for dinner again. The smoke from the cooking pots filled Qizhou City, and there were very few people walking in the streets and alleys. Even some pedestrians were in a hurry.
He rushed home, as few people would go out to do errands at this hour. But at this moment, a spacious carriage, escorted by dozens of strong knights, quietly drove out of the gate of Meiyuan and went straight along the south road.
The street headed towards the east end of the city, but after a moment it melted into the night. Only a few torches flickered with little light in the night, and everything finally started... dd
