In Chu Liuxiang's eyes, Qiao Heng was so out of place with the surrounding environment.

Kuaiyitang is known as the largest casino in Jinan City, and it is not for nothing.

Anyone who stays here for a while will see what real money is.

There are red-eyed men, shouting angrily, full of foul language. There are also gamblers who have won a lot, who are excited, and simply drag the waitress of the Happy Hall who is waiting on the side, caressing the woman's soft and delicate body, and after a while, the ears and temples grind up, half hugged and half hugged to the back hall.

This is really not a serious place, the person in Chu Liuxiang's eyes, standing alone in the nearby corner without saying a word, his expression does not have the fanaticism that ordinary gamblers often carry on their faces, and there is no frivolity when ordinary people come here to seek / have fun, in a trance, the filthy atmosphere in the room has become pure and silent around him.

Some people may think that the dealer of the gambling house is the last thing he wants to receive is such a visitor, but Chu Liuxiang knows that it is the other way around.

A piece of jade on the other party's waist was enough to buy all the cards on all the tables around him, and the embroidery on the corners of his clothes was enough to keep the embroiderer busy for months.

The gambling house welcomes rich people like him the most.

Chu Liuxiang's scalp tingled for a while, and he was thinking, why did a curling Qiuyue-like character come to a gambling house that is difficult to get into the elegant hall?

He couldn't think of it.

Maybe the other person is in a big trouble, or maybe it's just a whim, but in any case, this is really not the place for someone like the other party.

Chu Liuxiang put the silver ticket in his arms, let go of the maid in his arms, and strode over.

Qiao Heng naturally didn't come to Kuaiyitang alone.

If he was the only one, he really had no reason to come to the gambling house, Wuzheng Villa never shorted his money, and he didn't want to find any excitement.

This kind of place of hiding filth and dirt, no matter what life he can hide, he can always hide. If his body is not right, he will always worry more, and over time, he will become a snake shadow, and he can't wait to be drenched in bleach.

As soon as "Zhang Xiaolin", who was pretended by Chu Liuxiang, approached Qiao Heng, he laughed a few times.

Qiao Heng heard this laughter, and turned his head sideways to "look" in the direction of the person who came, as if he knew who the person was, he nodded his head in greeting. He said: "I never thought that I would meet ...... incense here."

Chu Liuxiang didn't wait for him to say the last word "handsome", so he hurriedly interrupted him. "Zhang Xiaolin" continued to laugh: "Zhang, I didn't expect to meet a little brother here!"

Qiao Heng heard him call himself Zhang, and said kindly: "Brother Zhang is good lately?"

"It's very good!" Chu Liuxiang breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her identity was not revealed. He was a little curious, he was easy to look at, how did the other party recognize him, as soon as the thought came up, he immediately remembered that the other party couldn't see things, and it didn't make any difference to him whether he was disguised or not, and the other party could recognize him, mostly by his voice and footsteps.

At this moment, a fiery red figure walked over quickly, and said, "It's all lost!"

The person who came was dressed like a prince and grandson, wearing a purple and gold crown, a red arrow shirt embroidered with gold flowers and ink phoenix patterns, wearing pants of the same color on his legs, and a pair of foundation official boots on his feet.

However, the voice of this "prince and grandson" is delicate and crisp, with a bit of sweetness, obviously a girl.

Qiao Heng heard her say that he had lost all, and he said, "How can you play against these connoisseurs in the casino." ”

"Joke, if they can win, I can't win?"

Qiao Heng didn't say much when he heard her say this, but he took out a few silver tickets from his sleeve without changing his face and handed them to her, "Whatever you want." ”

The "prince of the king" took the silver ticket and left satisfied.

Chu Liuxiang was stunned from the sidelines, and she didn't know who this young lady dressed as a man was, and she actually dared to choke with the young owner of Wuzheng Villa, and let the other party be willing to pay for it.

He asked directly, "Who is this?"

Qiao Heng said clearly: "The thirty-ninth granddaughter of Mrs. Jin of 'Wanfu Wanshouyuan', 'Fire Phoenix' Jin Lingzhi. ”

When Chu Liuxiang heard that this "prince and grandson" was the granddaughter of Mrs. Jin, whose descendants were all over the rivers and lakes, Chu Liuxiang was stunned, and only after a pause did he react.

On the rivers and lakes, the fame of the fire phoenix is not small. Anyone who knows Mrs. Jin knows that her favorite child is Jin Lingzhi.

He now knew why the former young owner appeared in the Happy Meaning Hall.

Chu Liuxiang thought to herself that if there was a young lady who could never be provoked, who was not deeply involved in the world and had an arrogant temper, and dragged herself to a place like Kuaiyi Hall, she could only follow her. I can't persuade her, I can't persuade her, I can't let her go to the gambling house alone, and I don't feel at ease, and there seems to be no other way than to go to the gambling house together.

Even he will not be relieved because of this, let alone the original young owner of a humble gentleman?

Chu Liuxiang could fully imagine Qiao Heng's helplessness.

If Qiao Heng knew Chu Liuxiang's brain supplement, he was afraid that he would laugh on the spot.

This style of being led by the nose is really not like him.

Jin Lingzhi wants to come to Hu, and he just lets her come here.

As for persuasion and prevention, why did he have to stop it?

He even wished she was a little more out of line, and he didn't even mind seducing/guiding her if necessary. And he only needs to write a letter to the "Wanfu Wanshouyuan" to explain in detail what Jin Lingzhi has done. Mrs. Jin is the most disciplined person, after all, the power of "Wanfu Wanshouyuan" is too big, and she must set an example to restrain her younger generations to be cautious in her words and deeds. After she received the letter, she would immediately send someone to bring Jin Lingzhi back, and maybe she would also repair a book and send it to Wuzheng Villa to express her gratitude, plus a gift, and apologize for disturbing Wuzheng Villa.

In fact, before he stepped into the gate of Kuaiyi Hall, he had already sent someone to deliver a message to the Jin family. However, due to the long distance, he did not send the letter directly to the "Wanfu Wanshouyuan", but asked the letter to be delivered to an uncle in the suburbs of Jinan. From here, it reflects the benefits of the Jin family's many descendants, there are Jin family members everywhere, and it is really convenient to contact the Jin family.

As long as Jin Lingzhi is taken back to the Jin family, no matter how frivolous it is...... It's just a bird in a cage. How can she continue to mix in the plot like this?

And the person who delivered the letter for him was none other than Hua Zhenzhen, and he was not afraid that she would take the opportunity to escape. Because he knows that when a person has a Stockholm plot, even if you take the initiative to loosen the reins that bind the other party, untie the shackles that bind the other party, and break the wall that traps the other party, the other party will draw a prison for yourself.

Of course, Chu Liuxiang didn't know what Qiao Heng was doing at all.

He was not surprised to see that this Miss Jin had lost all her money again. What he didn't expect was that after losing all of them, she suddenly pulled out the saber at her waist, pointed at a man with a mustache and shouted, "You must be out of the woods!"

Chu Liuxiang secretly said that it was bad.

Kuaiyitang can gain a firm foothold in Jinan City, and it must have its own power.

A few people faintly gathered around.

Qiao Heng grabbed Jin Lingzhi's saber and gently pushed it back into the scabbard: "The sword has no eyes, take it." ”

Jin Lingzhi said angrily: "Don't meddle in your business!"

Qiao Heng sighed.

The bearded man laughed: "Little girl, you can eat indiscriminately, you can't talk nonsense, and you can't wronged people without some real evidence." ”

The dealer at each table is a person from Kuaiyitang, and the dealer at this table echoed and sneered: "I advise the girl to dissipate her anger, it's not a fun thing to make trouble in Kuaiyitang." ”

There are good people next to him, holding half-discarded maids, eating melon seeds and watching the play.

Chu Liuxiang knew at a glance that this was someone who saw that she didn't understand anything when she first arrived, plus she was generous, and deliberately set up a trap with the dealer to let her jump, so as to squeeze money.

He was about to step forward to say something when he heard a gentle voice sound.

"Lingzhi, you don't want to bet, I'll do it. After saying to Jin Lingzhi, Qiao Heng said to the dealer again, "Let's open the bank." ”

Jin Lingzhi and Chu Liuxiang were stunned for a moment, how can a blind person gamble?

The dealer, who was still a little cold on his face, immediately greeted enthusiastically: "It's still this brother who is reasonable, and he came to the casino to find a joke! What do you have to make a fuss? Does this little brother want to push the cake or bet on the size?" He only thought that the other party was retreating, which was the best, and he didn't want to really fight.

The people who had faintly gathered around before retreated silently.

Qiao Heng: "Bet on the size." ”

"It's easy!" the banker laughed, took out three dice and put them in the palm of his hand, let everyone look at them, and then he threw them into the dice cup, he shook the dice cup and shouted: "The bet is big, come here if you have bets!"

Then he jerked the dice cup on the table.

Chu Liuxiang made a lot of fun, "Bet big." ”

The gamblers next to him also placed their bets.

Qiao Heng was silent, but he didn't bet. Jin Lingzhi poked him with his finger behind his back, and he just shook his head.

The dealer looked at him more and said, "Is there anyone else who wants to bet? No? Okay! Then I'll open the cup!"

Three dice, very coincidentally, all a little.

Bet on the size of this way of playing, four to ten points for the small, eleven to seventeen for the large, in addition, is the dealer takes all.

The dealer smiled: "I'm sorry, the dealer takes it all!"

A group of gamblers wailed, "How can you hit the dealer in the first game!"

Immediately afterwards, another game began, and this time Chu Liuxiang did not bet. He could see that Qiao Heng deliberately did not bet just now, could it be that he knew that the first game was a dealer's all-take-all?

Qiao Heng: "Bet small." ”

A dice cup, one, two, four, a total of seven, small.

Chu Liuxiang glanced at Qiao Heng thoughtfully, the other party won the bet, naturally it was not a blind guess, and it was impossible for him to pinch and calculate. When he walked the rivers and lakes, he also heard that there were capable people who could hear and distinguish dice, and these people were all people with amazing ears and profound internal skills.

People in the rivers and lakes all rumor that the young owner of Wuzheng Villa is both civil and military, but how many people really know how far he has come?

Game 3 -

Qiao Heng: "Bet big." ”

Three, five, five, a total of thirteen, large.

Game 4 -

Qiao Heng: "Bet big." ”

The dealer frowned slightly and cautiously unveiled the dice cup.

One o'clock, five o'clock, six o'clock, twelve o'clock in total, large.

A spectator next to him whispered, "Who is this person?"

"I don't know. ”

"Haha, this is a hard stubble. ”

"Leave that alone, I'll make a bet with him to win some silver. ”

Game 5 -

Qiao Heng: "Bet small." ”

Two, two, five, a total of nine, small.

Later, everyone else at the table simply followed him.

Chu Liuxiang was surprised and did not forget to make a small fortune by the way.

Jin Lingzhi's eyes widened, looking at Qiao Heng with admiration, she couldn't understand how he did it.

The smile on the banker's face had long since disappeared, and it was all blue. Although the game of betting on the size of the game, no matter who wins, the dealer will not lose money, but the other party has won several games in a row, obviously deliberately slapped himself in the face, this guy is looking for the girl just now!

In the fourth game, he was ready to play a thousand games, but the problem was that he was extremely sure that there were two ones under the cup, but God knows why one of the ones became six when the lid was lifted.

He glanced around the corner, and after receiving his gaze, several people standing in the corner walked over to this side without hurrying or slowing, and these few people all had excellent horizontal kung fu.

However, at this time, Qiao Heng didn't bet, he only withdrew his principal, pushed aside the silver tickets and silver ingots he won, and said to Jin Lingzhi: "But it's fun?"

Jin Lingzhi: "It's ...... Have fun. ”

Qiao Heng: "Then let's go." ”

Jin Lingzhi pointed to the money won on the table: "Don't you want all this?"

Qiao Heng: "It's so fragmentary, it's too inconvenient to pick it up." ”

Chu Liuxiang knew his true intentions, Jin Lingzhi drew his sword in the first place, and he fell behind the face of Happy Yitang, if he wanted to leave, it was estimated that there would be some entanglement. Now that he took the initiative to discard the money he had won, coupled with the fact that Kuaiyitang squeezed out the money of the golden lingzhi, Kuaiyitang not only did not suffer a loss, but on the contrary, he also made a lot of money. If you are happy to get acquainted, let them leave peacefully, and stop making any more trouble, it really doesn't look good on both sides.

Of course, if the people of Happy Hall don't have a little vision and think that they are weak and can be bullied, then they have to do it.

Although Qiao Heng's original intention was really just to dislike these belongings being too trivial to deal with.

Jin Lingzhi seemed to finally sense that the atmosphere around her was not right, and she put her hand on the hilt of her sword, vigilantly looking around.

At this time, an angry shout came into her ears: "Rebel, is this the place where you should come?!"

Jin Lingzhi was so frightened that her face turned pale, she was so familiar with this voice that she could picture the appearance of the voice owner in her mind with her eyes closed.

She turned around slowly, glanced at the person quickly, and her face turned even paler.

The man at the forefront was about thirty or forty years old, with temples mixed with a little silver thread, bright eyes, and steady steps. He was followed by a man who looked a little like him, but was a few years younger, with a judge's pen pinned to his waist. In the back, there are five or six figures of guards and servants.

She lowered her head: "Father, Ninth Uncle." ”

Hearing her words, Chu Liuxiang couldn't help but sympathize with Jin Lingzhi. No parent wants to see their child in a casino, and no child wants to be caught by a father at a casino.

Qiao Heng didn't expect that Jin Lingzhi's father was actually a guest at her ninth uncle's place, it was really a coincidence.

The father of Jin Lingzhi is seven in the family, and he is known as the seventh master of Jin.

God knew what Jin Qiye felt in his heart after receiving a letter from Qiao Heng. What kind of bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods are the people in the Happy Hall, can he still not know, if it is not necessary, he is reluctant to set foot here, and he is full of black smoke and miasma, and his eyes are dirty. Walking all the way in the Happy Hall, seeing all kinds of glamorous images, and then thinking that his daughter was here, he was almost half angry with her.

Qiao Heng took a half step forward and greeted, "Uncle Jin." ”

When Jin Qiye saw him, his face immediately softened, "Virtuous nephew doesn't need to be polite. ”

After that, he still had a little guilt in his heart that was difficult to speak.

The other party is blind, and it is inconvenient to act, and his daughter doesn't know how to accommodate the other party, but she still wants to make trouble for the other party, so that the other party has to take care of her daughter when she is too busy to take care of herself, and she comes to such a filthy place, Jin Qiye is also a little unable to erase her face.

He said sincerely: "Thank you to the virtuous nephew this time, if Lingzhi does such a wanton thing again in the future, the virtuous nephew can just knock her out and send it to me, and there is no need to save face for me." ”

However, he estimated that with his mother's temper, he would never dare to let Jin Lingzhi walk the rivers and lakes lightly in the future.

A few people just said two or three sentences, and the few practitioners who received the banker's eyes and slowly outflanked them were already in place, just waiting for the dealer's order to do it directly.

The guards of the Jin family had long sensed their existence and were all on alert.

The Kuaiyi Hall was opened by the Cinnabar Gang, and Leng Qiusoul, the head disciple of the Cinnabar Gang, was the director of the Kuaiyi Hall.

Leng Qiu Soul had already noticed the movement here, and he walked quickly, he was wearing an emerald green shirt, he didn't look very old, not as old as the weak crown. He arched his hand, "There are magpies climbing the branches early this morning, it turns out that Jin Ye is coming, and I am sorry for the disappointment." As he spoke, he made a gesture and motioned for the few Kuaiyitang thugs who had gathered around him to quickly retreat.

He actually didn't know Jin Qiye, but he knew Jin Lingzhi and her ninth uncle, this ninth master lived in the suburbs of Jinan, and his name was huge, so he couldn't know him if he wanted to. Therefore, he said this to Jin Jiu.

Jin Jiu, who was pinned to the judge's pen at his waist, said: "I am accompanying my seventh brother here today, and he is the host and guest." ”

Leng Qiu Soul: "...... It turned out that this was Jin Wuye, who had been admired for a long time. He wiped a cold sweat in his heart.

Leng Qiusoul asked Jin Lingzhi which table he was gambling on, and then called the dealer at that table to him and asked him what had happened just now.

The person sitting in the village knew that he was a person who couldn't be provoked, and he said that he had teamed up with others to cheat Jin Lingzhi of money.

As for Qiao Heng winning a few games in a row, he felt that the other party was deliberately slapping him in the face and losing face, and wanted people to teach this guy a lesson and throw him out, but he didn't dare to say it. After all, he just had this idea, and those thugs were waved back by Leng Qiusoul before they could make a move. This is a shadowless thing at all, he can't make a mistake and add a crime to himself.

He glanced at Qiao Heng secretly, and as soon as his gaze fell on the man, the man noticed it. The man's eyes were as dark as ink. He swallowed and spat, not daring to look again.

Leng Qiusoul knew what had happened, apologized to Jin Lingzhi again and again, and angrily reprimanded the old man: "What's the use of me raising a person like you in Kuaiyitang!

Chu Liuxiang was amused when she heard it, what kind of reputation does Kuaiyi Hall have, it's just a place to sell money and find fun/children.

He whispered a few words to Qiao Heng, and then quietly left while everyone's attention was not on him. He came to Kuaiyitang because of an important matter, and now he is relieved to see that his friend's trouble has been removed.

Jin Lingzhi successfully retrieved her silver ticket, she happily counted the number, and then took out a few of them and returned the money she had borrowed from Qiao Heng.

Jin Qiye took her movements into his eyes, and his eyes went dark. You said that you can gamble with your own money, why do you gamble with other people's money. He said, "You, you...... Forget it, let's go. He shook his hand hatefully and turned his back away from her.

Jin Lingzhi followed him in fear and walked out of the Hall of Happiness.

As soon as she walked out of the Kuaiyi Hall, Jin Lingzhi was forced into the carriage by Jin Qiye, and Jin Jiu sat in the carriage together, preventing her from finding a chance to jump out of the window and escape.

Before parting, Qiao Heng said kindly: "Although Lingzhi has acted inappropriately for a while, she is still young and has a lively and frank heart, so don't be angry anymore uncle." ”

Jin Qiye sighed: "I know that you have been friends with Lingzhi since childhood, and the virtuous nephew doesn't need to speak for her." She has been pampered since she was a child, and she doesn't know the depth of her actions, which is really a mistake that I have been taught less in the past. If she continues like this, it is nothing to provoke some rumors, I am afraid that she will provoke some enemies but I don't know it. Not to mention anything else, if she arrives at Kuaiyi Hall alone today, it would be good if she was only beaten and thrown out in a sack in the end, and then she was strict...... Alas, don't talk about that. Today's matter, I will go to Wuzheng Villa in person to thank you another day. ”

Qiao Heng: "Uncle is strict." ”

The two chatted a few more words, and it was late at night, and it was inconvenient for the two to talk more on the street. Jin Jiu lifted the curtain and invited Qiao Heng to his residence for a while. Qiao Heng declined the other party's invitation, Jin Qiye wanted to send two guards to send him back to the inn to rest, Qiao Heng bluntly said that his coachman would come over immediately, and Jin Qiye could only regret giving up.

The wheels rolled the bluestone slab farther and farther, Jin Lingzhi stuck her head out of the window, she wanted to say something loudly, but suddenly remembered what Uncle Jiu had just said, she couldn't disturb the people in the middle of the night, she closed her mouth in disgust, and after looking at him for the last time, she retracted her head again. Qiao Heng stood facing the direction the carriage had left, but he couldn't see anything.

When Qiao Heng couldn't hear the sound of cars and horses anymore, he knew that Jin Qiye and they had probably gone away.

In the past few days, there has been some cold spring, and Shicai still can't feel cold in the Happy Hall, but now that he is outside, he has stood for a long time, and the cold has become more and more obvious.

The clothes he was wearing were a little thin, and he was soaked in a chill. However, because his body temperature has always been low, even if there is internal force circulating in the veins, it will not help, and he has become a little accustomed to the state of being cold all the time, so after coming out of the Happy Intention Hall, he has only now realized a little bit of the cold.

Suddenly, there was a sound of carriages and horses running over the road, and the coachman's respectful voice sounded: "Young owner." ”

The young man stood under the eaves of a corner of the house, and he said calmly, "You are here?"

Hua Zhenzhen sat in the car, lifted the curtain and looked out of the car. She only felt that the man on the road almost melted into the shadows of the street for a moment, and the moment he looked at it, his eyebrows were cold.

Jin Lingzhi, that fool, thought that he really understood him, but he never thought that the qiē he showed in front of her was just an illusion of extreme hypocrisy. She thought that he was willing to spend time with her, willing to change his principles for her, and do things he didn't like in the first place, he must have liked her so much, but he didn't know that it was all hypocrisy. She didn't understand at all that he was willing to get along with her just to observe her, so that he could think of a way to break off the entanglement with her.

Qiao Heng sat down, with a little chill brought in from the street.

This vaguely cool breath, as soon as it was inhaled into his lungs, Hua Zhenzhen's originally chaotic brain immediately sobered up.

And what about yourself?

Did you really see him clearly?

When he first met him, he who was indifferent to him without concealing his murderous intent, and later he who spoke sincerely and politely and cared for her, which one was real?
