"Young master, how long have we been walking, are we almost in the City of Elysium?"

Ling'er brushed the dirty hair on her face, leaned on Zhao Yun's back and asked softly.

Zhao Yun took out the map from his arms and glanced at it, and then looked up at the gradually populated avenue in front of him, a gorgeously decorated four-wheeled wooden van led by an unknown animal was rapidly driving towards this side, and the dirt road under the wheels rolled up clouds of dust.

When the cart approached, the animal pulling the cart suddenly jumped on its front feet and screamed, and then stepped heavily on the ground, and a puff of dust kicked up.

"Where did you come from, stinky boy, dare to stand in the way of your grandfather, I'm impatient! Get out of here!" a strange head poked out of the carriage and scolded.

Zhao Yun put Ling'er off his back, and only then did he see what the animal pulling the cart looked like, the two big nostrils on a donkey's face were turned upward, and there were flames in the nostrils from time to time, two dark blue eyes were the size of fists, and there were a pair of thunderbolt-shaped horns on the top of his head, and his black hair was very weird.

And what is even more bizarre is the head that poked out of the carriage, the cheeks on both sides bulged like a pufferfish, above the bridge of the nose with blue and purple, there were no eyes, only two thin gaps, but Zhao Yun could feel the cold light in the gaps and was extremely angry.

Hearing the other party's scolding, Zhao Yun forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, pulled Ling'er aside, and then asked very politely: "This... Big brother, dare to ask the front but come to the town again. “

"Smack!" the other party spat and drove away in a Chinese car.

Zhao Yun and Ling'er stood on the side of the road in a daze, looking at the dust that was fading away in the distance, and after a long time, Zhao Yun slowly spit out: It's crazy...

Zhao Yun looked down at the brocade clothes on his body, which had turned gray, with several big holes in his sleeves, and the bun on his head had long since fallen out, and there was dust between the hairs. Looking at Ling'er again, it is not much better, her face is dirty, and the dress on her body is tattered.

"Looks like we're going to have to change identities again. ”

"Young Master, don't I have to be a maid?" Ling'er asked happily.

"The way I look now, why do I need a maid, look at the situation of the person just now, we will meet a lot of rich and powerful people in the future, my identity as a fake young master will be broken as soon as I poke it, so from now on we are brothers and sisters, you have to change your voice to call your brother, don't bring the word cloud in front." ”

"Well, okay, brother. Ling'er nodded obediently in agreement.

Taking out two ordinary clothes from the package and changing them into, the two of them walked towards the town in front of them.

Zailai Town is a subordinate town of Elysium City, compared to the town under the mountain of Fengnian Village, this town is much larger in terms of construction scale and population, and the degree of wealth is not comparable to that of ordinary towns, just because this Zailai Town is located on the hub connecting Bliss City, and every day all kinds of people pass by here and settle here.

The town has no walls, but it is surrounded by rivers, and there is a bridge to the avenue in the east, west, north and south, and there are sentry posts on the bridges, but not to guard the town, but to collect tolls from passing pedestrians, and this alone brings a lot of income to the town.

"Ten copper beads for one person, no money can be used as collateral for goods, and a one-time payment is valid for ten days. ”

At the head of the bridge, a middle-aged martial artist with a rough face and a voice like a bell shouted loudly at the pedestrians who were about to cross the bridge.

There was a table next to the strong man, and behind the table sat two young martial artists with their heads tied and dressed in strong suits, Zhao Yun walked to the table and handed over twenty copper beads, and then asked with a smile: "This big brother, what does it mean that ten days are valid?"

"Come, eyes on here. ”

The other party did not answer, and the other martial artist took a rectangular stone tablet as black as ink and put it up in front of Zhao Yun's eyes, only to see that the stone tablet was the size of a palm, the corners were engraved with cloud patterns, and a majestic beast face at the top was convex, and the bottom of the beast face was smooth as a mirror, and Zhao Yun could vaguely see his appearance in it.

"The form of the god in the spirit box can be kept for ten days, and after ten days, cross the bridge and re-charge. “

Only then did Zhao Yun know that the ten-day validity meant this, and the spirit box that recorded the shape of the god was really magical, and he didn't know who made it.

The streets of Zai Lai Town are twice as wide as the town below the mountain of Fengnian Village, and the streets are lined with wine shops and restaurants, and small stalls selling all kinds of goods are scattered in the streets and alleys.

Big town, the cost is also large, Zhao Yun originally wanted to take Ling'er to find an inn to have a hot meal, and then take a hot bath, but the shopkeeper asked for ten silver beads as soon as he opened his mouth, which is still the worst, not to mention the silver beads, Zhao Yun only had a dozen copper beads left on his body, and after walking for almost a month, the money that his grandfather put in the package had already been used almost.

Zhao Yun still wanted to bargain with the shopkeeper, but was mercilessly blasted out by the guy on the side, and couldn't help but turn around and say angrily: The store is a bully!

"It's not because you're poor, if you dare to gamble, let alone live in his store, it's okay to buy the whole store!"

Zhao Yun turned his head and saw a tall woman next to him, holding her arms with one hand and squinting at herself. The woman's face was handsome, dressed in a strong outfit, her hair was tied up from the back of her head, and she was put around her neck in front, with a trace of uninhibited heroism.

"Dare to bet, bet on what?"

"Follow me and you'll know. After the woman finished speaking, without waiting for Zhao Yun to reply, she walked forward with her hands behind her back.

"Brother, what is that sister's bet?" Ling'er asked from the side.

"She should be talking about gambling money, let's follow her to see. ”

"Brother, don't we run out of money?"

Zhao Yun touched the copper beads in his pocket, and then looked at Ling'er, who was a little emaciated, as if he had made up his mind.

"There are more than a dozen copper beads, but it's not enough for the two of us to eat and live, so it's better to try it." ”

"Boy, keep up, I'm afraid my sister won't be able to eat you. The woman shouted in the distance.

"It's coming!" Zhao Yun pulled Ling'er and trotted to follow.

Follow the woman through two alleys, and then around a section of avenue, and finally reach the place.

A huge golden toad covered with gold beads and jade pieces lies in front of him, the golden toad's back carries a three-story corner tower of carved beams and paintings, someone goes in and out from the mouth of the golden toad, and a plaque hangs on the upper lip of the golden toad, on which is written "Come to the gambling house again" four golden hot characters.

What a magnificent gambling house! Zhao Yun couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Let's go, go in with my sister. ”

"I only have a dozen copper beads, so forget it... Zhao Yun was suddenly a little scared.

"What are you afraid of, there is a sister here, make sure you go in thin and come out! Besides, with your little money, even if you lose, you can't suffer a big loss, but if you win, then you and your sister will not have to worry about eating and drinking, and I will pay you another twenty copper beads. ”

Zhao Yun thought about it, it did make some sense, he was so worthy, what else was he worried about, if what this woman said was true, he would still be able to get twenty copper beads at that time, and he would not lose anything.

"Really, don't lie to me!"

"How could I lie to you as a child? ”

Walking into the belly of the golden toad, it is like going to another world, the gambling house has a large space and the layout is quite luxurious. The roof hangs high, there are pearls like stars, and the floating lamps bloom with soft brilliance, cruising around on the roof; below are all kinds of stone tables of different shapes, and in front of each stone table there is a circle of elated people, and there are constantly shouting and shouting; in the middle there is a jade pond where koi fish spray water, and the green waves in the pool are rippling, and there are red lotus and blue leaves embellishment; there are exquisitely carved tables by the side of the passage, which are full of all kinds of food; bewitching women dressed in fragrant costumes walk around in the crowd, and they keep throwing flattering eyes.

"It's so big and fun!" Ling'er said with big eyes.

"Yes, it's so big and luxurious!" Zhao Yun also replied without blinking.

"Okay, don't look at it, get your money ready, we're going to gamble. The woman pulled out Zhao Yun, who was immersed in it.

Ling'er stopped after just taking two steps, "Brother, I'm so hungry." As he spoke, he stared at the table beside him.

Zhao Yun looked at the food on the table, then looked up at the woman, the woman sighed, walked to a gambling house guy and whispered a few words, and then walked back with two chicken legs.

"Let's eat first, the food in this gambling house is generally for gamblers who have been at the table, but I am a frequent customer of this gambling house, and I just took out this little thing after I went through a little relationship. ”

"Thank you, sister!" Ling'er munched on the chicken leg and didn't bother to look up.

Zhao Yun looked at Ling'er's appearance of eating, the corners of her eyes suddenly moistened, Ling'er was born in a rich and noble family, and now she has suffered so much with herself, let her be a maid, she also obediently agreed, she was hungry, she was also hungry, but she had never been pretentious along the way, and she had already regarded Ling'er as her own sister, but when she was an elder brother, she couldn't give her sister a meal and clothing, how could this be worthy of Fufeng's entrustment, and how could she be worthy of that brother.

Zhao Yun wiped the corners of his eyes that were about to overflow, and stuffed the chicken leg in his hand into Ling'er's other hand.

"Ling'er, you take this. ”

Ling'er looked up at Zhao Yun, "Brother, what are you?"

Zhao Yun pinched Ling'er's face and smiled, "It's okay, brother is not hungry now, let's go have a better meal when we win the money." ”

Ling'er agreed obediently, holding two chicken legs and following behind the two.

The woman took Zhao Yun to a hexagonal stone table, pushed the two people next to her hard, and then pulled Zhao Yun and Ling'er to the stone table.

I saw a square black box on the table, and a golden pig's head was embedded on one side of the box, and the pig's mouth was wide open.

"Yo, isn't this Miss Baifu, what's the matter? There's money to gamble again?

On the other side of the stone table, a stout man with a silver horn on his head and a fleshy face was smiling wickedly at the woman with one foot on the stone bench.

"What's the matter, I'm scared to see that I'm coming, I'm afraid to lose and crawl out of here with my bare ass?" the woman replied with a foul mouth.

"Afraid of you, I'm going to let you lose today, if you don't bring enough money, just sleep with me for one night when the time comes, my kung fu is much better than those boys." ”

Silver Horn laughed out loud after speaking, and the gamblers next to him also laughed.

Someone else said: "Miss Baifu, my kung fu is no worse than Yinjiao, if it loses to my hands at that time, I will definitely treat you with mercy and cherish the jade!" There was another burst of laughter from the crowd.

"Bang!" The woman finally couldn't help it, and slapped her palm on the stone table, with great force, until the table was buzzing, and the gamblers instantly stopped laughing.

"This girl won't bet with you today, it's him who wants to bet with you!"
