Hidden Blade Chapter 35: 12
"Come on, thank you for your help today, Yan Zhan is here to respect you all!" In the town of Wuzhou, Chu Qiuli finally got his wish and ate the iron quicksand that he was thinking of.
Yan Zhan is a rich man.
In order to thank everyone for saving their lives today, Yan Zhan chose a good hotel in Wuzhou Town to entertain Xu Han and others.
Just as Chu Qiuli expected, this Yan Zhan and the woman named Xue Ning who accompanied him was the story of the elopement of the elders of the Motianmen and the female disciples of the Chixiaomen in the rivers and lakes some time ago. The hero and heroine.
With the big fish and big meat, Chu Qiuli naturally smiled. It can be said that everyone who came to Yan Zhan's toast was not rejected. If you came to me and I was so busy, I soon called my brothers and brothers, which caused Xue Ning to blame again and again. . And Xuan'er and Ao Wu took advantage of this opportunity to feast and eat happily.
Mr. Wei returned to his room to rest early after setting up the stalls as usual, but Ning Zhumang, who was sitting on the side, seemed a little out of tune with the atmosphere of the glass on the wine table.
Xu Han knew that he was worried about Fangziyu's safety, so after thinking about it again, he stood up.
"Brother Xu, this is..." Seeing Xu Han suddenly got up, Yan Zhan, who was flushed with drinking, looked at Xu Han in a bit of amazement, as if he was quite puzzled by his move. Walking along the way, Xu Han probably also figured out the temper of the former Motianmen elder, and went straight to each other. It is no wonder that he could be so speculative with Chu Qiuli, a reckless man.
"Ms. Xu, is there any reason for us to entertain..." The woman named Xue Ning also stood up and asked at the same time, looking terrified, as if she was worried about it. Guilty.
If Yan Zhan's temperament is said to be carefree, then Xue Ning's temperament is quite the opposite.
The girl seemed to be too introverted. Apart from thanking everyone at the very beginning, she rarely said anything. The expression of such an expression at this moment made Xu Han a little confused.
He hurriedly said: "Brother Yan and Xue Mai misunderstood. It's not that the two of us were not entertained, but that I and Master Ning have important things to do, and we have to set off tomorrow, so we don't dare to delay."
Ning Zhumang on the side heard the words and moved his heart, knowing that what Xu Han said should be related to the promise made outside of Luchuan City today, and suddenly stood up at that time: "No wonder, we There really is something important..."
Ning Zhumang's attitude is naturally eager for Fangziyu.
Yan Zhan was taken aback, seeing the appearance of these two people did not seem to be false, naturally it is not easy to keep it, and his mouth is convenient for saying at that time: "So... ."
"This is a long story, you don't need to..." Ning Zhumang said subconsciously at that time.
Just this time, he was interrupted by Xu Hansheng on the side. The boy laughed at that time and said: "Since Brother Yan is so kind, there is something Xu needs help from Brother Yan. ."
"Huh? What's the matter?" Yan Zhan didn't seem to expect Xu Han to say this. He was taken aback for a moment, but in the next moment he still said boldly: "But we might as well."
Ning Zhumang didn't expect Xu Han to say this again. He also looked at Xu Han at that time. He obviously didn't understand how the search for Fangziyu could be related to the elder of the Demon Tianmen in front of him.
However, Xu Han hadn't noticed the doubtful glances cast by Ning Zhumang, he looked at Yan Zhan seriously, and said: "Can you lend me five taels of silver?"
"Huh?" When these words were spoken, Yan Zhan was taken aback again, and he didn't expect that Xu Han's so-called help was actually referring to this matter. But soon he laughed, took out an ingot from his arms and handed it to Xu Han, "Brother Xu is not enough, if it is not enough, I will still have it here."
The ingot started very heavy, probably a full thirty-two years away, Xu Han suddenly smiled, nodded, and said: "Enough is enough, but there is one more thing, I am afraid I will have to trouble Brother Yan."
"Just talk about it." Yan Zhan said with a smile.
When Xu Han heard this, he stretched out his hand like a chicken to mention Chu Qiuli, who was sitting aside and still eating and drinking, and said: "Lend me this wine companion."
"Ah? Chu is not full yet!" He didn't hear anything outside the window, and he muttered dissatisfiedly to Chu Qiuli who was eating at the table. There was still a large piece of chicken in his mouth. He swallowed it, holding a large piece of roast chicken in his hand, and the corners of his mouth were covered with oil and wine stains, which looked somewhat funny.
Puff!
Seeing him like this, Xue Ning on the side couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckled slightly, but when the laughter came out, he seemed to feel a little wrong, and hurriedly covered his mouth, but kept his face flushed, looking completely cute.
Yan Zhan touched Xuening's head quite indulgingly, and then smiled: "Since Brother Chu has something important to ask for your help, you will walk with him. You can eat this meal anytime. , As long as Brother Chu doesn’t abandon, you can talk to me about whatever you want to eat in the future, and Yan will certainly respond."
"Should this be true?" Chu Qiuli's eyes lighted up when he heard this, his eyes widened and he looked at Yan Zhan expectantly.
Perhaps amused by the funny appearance of Chu Qiuli, Yan Zhan nodded repeatedly and said: "Natural, natural."
"Hao Le!" Chu Qiuli immediately put down the roast chicken in his hand, lifted up his cuffs and wiped the oil and wine stains on his face, turning his head to look at Xu Han, and said boldly. Said: "Xiaohan, let's talk, what are you going to do!"
The imposing look was so aggressive that Xu Han would let him go up and down the sea of flames without hesitation.
Knowing that this Chu Qiu’s disposition, Xu Han would naturally not have such expectations of him. He weighed the ingots in his hand at that time, smiled, and said: "I’m doing my best. Strike, copper coins become golden shuttles."
......
Xu Han led Ning Zhumang and Chu Qiuli through the bustling city of Wuzhou Town, Yan Zhan and Xuening had nothing to do and finally proposed to follow along. Xu Han thought about it, and simply responded. Down.
Everyone was very curious about what Xu Han was going to do, but Xu Han walked around like a headless fly, looking around.
Chu Qiuli could hear Xu Han’s thoughts, but three or four gambling shops had already passed by this road, but Xu Han only stopped slightly and moved forward again. This made Chu Qiuli also a little confused. After several inquiries, Xu Han only said that the gambling houses were not big enough, so he went over it in a perfunctory manner.
When Chu Qiuli saw Xu Han, he didn't want to say more, so he could only put away the doubts in his heart, and followed Xu Han silently.
Until I almost wandered around Wuzhou Town, Xu Han finally stopped in front of an alley.
"It's here." His eyes sank as he said.
Everyone was taken aback, and followed Xu Han's gaze to look there.
That is indeed a casino.
Of course such a term is a bit inappropriate, because the gate of the casino is very dilapidated. If it weren’t for the wooden sign on the side with the word gambling slanted on the side, people would think that this place is just an ordinary house. . However, this place is so tattered that it is too lazy to take a name. Compared with the previous ones, everyone can't understand why Xu Han, who has always disliked those gambling houses that are not big enough, would find it here.
"Let's go." Xu Han didn't mean to help everyone. He smiled faintly at that time, and took the lead in stepping into it.
When everyone sees this, they can only hurriedly follow up.
......
Whether it is Dazhou or Daxia, gambling shops are a very magical place.
There are down-and-out men who have lost so poorly but still dream of turning over again, and there are men in fine clothes who have made a lot of money but still want to go further.
The winner is full of joy and joy, while the loser has red eyes and is silent.
One or two things can be seen in this small gambling house.
The luxurious decoration inside the gambling house and the dilapidated exterior outside the gambling house formed a sharp contrast, which stimulated everyone's attention.
The door of the room is like another world, full of square meters, full of various gaming tables, the simplest and most crowded is the dice, the gameplay is simple, the winning or losing is quick, and it is naturally favored by most people. Favored, but apart from this thing, there are also common tricks such as throwing pots, playing horses, and playing chess. Most of them have gathered a lot of people.
Just before the group entered the gambling house, a skinny man with wicked eyebrows greeted him quickly.
"Yo! A few of them are nobles at first sight. If you want to play, the younger ones can lead the way for you." The man said so, his yellow face was filled with flattering smiles.
Of course, this thin man will not be the guy in the gambling house, because the guys in the gambling house have always had only two functions. One is to prevent those who lose and lose their fortune from making troubles, and the other is to interrupt the hands and feet of those who have lost money. .
And there is a very general name for this thin man-Lutong.
Find a suitable customer to lead the way, wait on him, wait until he wins the money, and send him some rewards. This is what he did. Of course, there are also some deer boys who collude with the gambling house to cheat the guests and get rewards from the gambling house.
Unfortunately, the Lutong in front of him was the latter. As soon as Xu Han and others entered the casino, he saw that the clothes Xu Han and others were wearing were obviously not ordinary gamblers. When he realized that the other party was a fat sheep, he hurriedly greeted him.
"The dice, the big one." Xu Han didn't care about his intentions at all, and said straightforwardly at that time.
The Lutong's heart was shocked when he heard the words. The secret path was stepping on shit, but he hurriedly smiled on his face: "I don't know how big the guest officer wants to play..."
"The biggest." Xu Han said again.
Lu Tong's face was happy, and he bowed and said: "Good Le! Please here!"
But from the corner of his eyes, he looked at the guy in the crowded field and signaled that he was ready to "slaughter the sheep." The guy immediately understood, turned around and walked towards the back room.
......
Soon the deer boy led the people across the hall to the side room.
Compared with the lively hall, there are only four or five people sitting in twos and threes in the side room. Most of them are dressed in luxurious clothes. Obviously, they are all the famous figures in this Wuzhou town. Xu Han made a lot of people to come to this side room. It will inevitably attract the attention of those gamblers.
The middle-aged man sitting in the village raised his head and glanced at Xu Han and the others. The Lutong beside him smiled and said: "Boss Xiong, this is a new visitor, I want to play a few hands."
The middle-aged man named Mr. Xiong has long received news from the guy, but on the surface he still said: "If you want to play, you are welcome, but the rules must be clearly stated. You can't use internal force. Every time you bet at least one Two dollars, and there are too many visitors..."
Longzhou is different from Liaozhou, and Xu Han has smelled the smell of Senluo Temple since stepping here.
The casino he was looking for was actually looking for the sub-rudder of Senluodian. Although he couldn't get in touch with Liu Sheng by this, there was no better place to buy and sell information than Senluodian.
Before that, all he needed was to collect a huge amount of money from the ingots in his hand to complete this transaction.
However, this rule made him a little surprised. The rule of not using internal force did not exist in the former Senluodian casino, or there is no good way to curb this, but now this gambling house is obviously different. At that time, Xu Han glanced at the corner of Xu Han's eye slightly, and put the stone placed in the middle of the table into his eyes.
Xu Han's eyes condensed at that time. Naturally, he knew that the stone was called a streamer iron. It was not very useful, but as long as there was a power fluctuation, it would light up the streamer, hence the name.
This object is obviously placed here to detect internal cheating on the table.
"Too many visitors? It doesn't matter, can we also have fun?" Yan Zhan smiled heartily at that time, pulled up the stool next to him and sat down.
Xu Han looked at Chu Qiuli next to him at that time, and asked in a low voice, "Can you do it?"
Chu Qiuli, who has always been keen on gambling, changed his face inexplicably when he saw the gaming table again. He was stunned for a while before he said: "It should be okay..."
Xu Han was a little strange about Chu Qiuli's appearance, but still put an ingot in his arms into Chu Qiuli's hands.
Chu Qiuli once said to him that he had his own gambling blessings in the thief sacred gate, and as long as he was unwilling to lose, no one could let him lose at this gambling table.
Xu Han didn't pay much attention to this. It wasn't until Chu Qiuli played dice a few times when he was idle and bored, and then he realized that what Chu Qiuli said was true.
Whether he used his internal forces to change the number of dice or any other method, he failed.
Even when he was forced to have no choice, he simply turned the number of points into the largest six, secretly thinking that he could at least be invincible, but when the market opened, he found that one of the dice was turned into But at the end of the day, Xu Han was convinced of Chu Qiuli's ability at this gambling table.
In the past, Xu Han used this method to search for information on the evil in Yanlai City, but relying on internal strength, now that there is a streamer iron, Xu Han dare not touch the mold of the Senluo Temple, so he only All hopes can be pinned on the heir of this thief holy gate.
Although Ning Zhumang on the side didn't understand the meaning of this move, he probably guessed it was closely related to finding Fangziyu, so at this time, he looked at Chu Qiuli with a little more hope.
......
The gambling game started soon, it was very simple to squeeze the size.
Of course, since this side house is where the rich are playing, it naturally has different rules. In addition to the usual size, leopards and other betting places, there are also numbers ranging from one to eighteen. In addition to lowering the size, gamblers can also lower the specific number of the dice to participate in such a gambling game, and once they are pressed, the rewards are extremely generous, which is about five times the odds.
In addition to opening the dealer, the four previous gamblers made bets early, all of which were seven or eight taels of silver.
And Yan Zhan also thought about it at that time, and took out another big ingot from his arms, which attracted people's attention. It's just that he seemed to hesitate, not knowing where to press this ingot, so he turned his head to look at the woman behind him and asked: "Ning'er, where do you think it is appropriate to press?"
The girl who has always been shy and peaceful, smiled at that time, stretched out her finger to a place on the gaming table, and said: "Here!"
At that time, Yan Zhan left the ingot there without thinking about it, and said with a smile: "Okay, then here."
At this moment, there was only Chu Qiuli on the gambling table who hadn't bet yet, and everyone naturally looked at the big man at that time.
But seeing Chu Qiuli, who was always carefree for some reason, his face turned pale, and even dense sweat appeared on his forehead. Xu Han frowned and asked: "What's the matter?"
Chu Qiuli smiled dryly, before the dealer urged him to drop the ingot on the small handicap, and turned to look at Xu Hanyan and said: "No problem..."
Xu Han frowned a little bit deeper at that time. How could he not see Chu Qiuli's abnormality, but it was obviously not the time to ask carefully, so he could only let go of the doubts in his heart and thought about it. Something is wrong, I'm asking about it.
"Buy it!" At this moment, the dealer yelled, seeing everyone betting, and lifted the dice gu with the dice high and shook it with various fancy techniques. Everyone's ears are dizzy.
It wasn't until after ten breaths that the dice Gu fell on the gaming table again with a pop. At that time, everyone was holding their breath and looking at the little dice gu, waiting for the opening of the market.
"Get up!" The dealer gave a soft cry at that time, the dice gu was slowly lifted, and the three dice made of white jade scattered under it also appeared in everyone's eyes at that time~IndoMTL.com~36 three!
"Big!"
As soon as this result came out, the few who won were naturally smiling, but Chu Qiuli was shocked at that time, his face was instantly pale, and there seemed to be a red thing at the corner of his mouth that was about to overflow, but he gritted his teeth and swallowed it. go back.
"Brother Chu, this is..." Xu Han didn't expect such a result, and was about to ask Chu Qiuli, but at that time he saw the strange appearance on Chu Qiuli's face, and it was about to arrive. The words from the lips were taken back.
Chu Qiuli is really a little weird. This weirdness is not because of losing this ingot, but in normal times. This big man might have been ranting about this situation a long time ago, but now he looks like this.
For a while, Xu Han suddenly remembered how the thousands of taels he had given to Chu Qiuli were missing. It seems that he had heard Chu Qiuli mentioned that he had lost it.
But with Chu Qiuli's ability, how could he...
"You have placed a bet, why do you just play for one?" At this time, the gamblers at the table urged at that time. In their opinion, Chu Qiuli's strange situation is probably just a loss to him. The state it should have after the thing, and such a look is not uncommon in this casino.
The dealer also pouted at that time. He thought he was a big fish, but he didn't want to be just a desperado who wanted to be big with his small.
At that time, he smiled and said: "If your friend has no gambling capital, please go back over there. Victory or defeat is a common matter for soldiers, and you can't tell me next time..."
"Cough cough..." But just as he said this, there was a coughing sound from the side, I saw that Yan Zhan smiled and stretched out his hand, pointing to the ingot he had depressed. Asked: "May I have won the next one?"
The dealer was taken aback, then he remembered the existence of this Yan Zhan, he looked sideways, and suddenly his body was shocked.
Yan Zhan’s ingot was pressed on a handicap that said twelve...
