The wind, blowing the duckweed in the mountains, constantly drifting between, seems to converge into a cloud, slowly drifting towards Pengcheng.

Early in the morning, as soon as Nangong Yu'er and Sima Qingkong lifted their grounding, the two of them followed Chu Zhen out of Yunmen and rushed to Pengcheng.

Along the way, Chu Zhen was always angry.

Because Jing and his entourage got too close to Chu Zhen, they attracted Yin Qiujun's dissatisfaction, and Yuwen Haochen took the opportunity to slander and sow discord, saying that Jing and his entourage complained that Yin Qiujun had no way to teach, so his realm progressed slowly, so he repeatedly hooked up with Chu Zhen and Yu Hanyi and wanted to jump out from under Yin Qiujun's door.

Yin Qiujun has always been arrogant, and this is worth it, and immediately put Jing and his party under house arrest on the grounds of thinking about his own mistakes, and no one is allowed to see him.

Jing and his entourage were Chu Chen's first friend after he arrived at Cloud Gate, and he was also a friend who was willing to stick a knife in his ribs, and Chu Zhen must save him.

"Yuwen Haochen, I will repay this account to you. ”

Cloud Gate, Jing and his entourage are not suitable to stay any longer, otherwise they will have to be firmly crushed to death by Yin Qiujun and Yuwen Haochen, the two masters and apprentices, Chu Zhen decided to place him in Xuanyue Pavilion as well, as long as he is provided with a lot of resources, his cultivation will definitely be faster than in Cloud Gate.

As soon as they returned to Pengcheng, the three of them divided into three routes, Chu Zhen returned to Xuanyue Pavilion, and Nangong Yu'er and Sima Qingkong returned to the family forces in the city first, mobilizing resources and supporting Xuanyue Pavilion.

In the Xuanyue Pavilion, it is still the same depression as yesterday, and it is impossible to take out decent pills and mysterious weapons, which is not only the source of customers, but also more prestige.

I went to the backyard to meet with Esther and the others, and asked about the progress of the next plan, and learned that so far, everything is going well. In order to confuse Yuwen Haochen, Xuanyue Pavilion deliberately made a gesture of despair, exchanged all the goods for the lowest level, and ordered people to look around for cooperation objects, which seemed to have reached the point of burning his eyebrows. Secretly, Yashi sent people to other shops in the city to buy high-demand pills and mysterious artifacts at high prices, and filled them into the treasury for the purpose of turning over.

And Nalan Yanrou, as the biggest trump card this time, has been using the secret method in "Han Qing Decision" to block the breath on her body and wait for the time to make a move.

Doing so, it did have an effect, Yuwen Haochen thought that Xuanyue Pavilion had nothing to do, so he put all his attention on cutting off foreign aid, and he proudly admired Xuanyue Pavilion's exhausted appearance on the side.

Now, the focus of the matter is on the three families of the Long family, the Nangong family and the Sima family.

Chu Zhen and Yashi went to the storehouse, but saw that most of it was empty. Although Yashi ordered someone to secretly buy it, Xuanyue Pavilion's funds are limited after all, and it is already good to be able to acquire these.

"Now it's up to the resources of the Nangong family and the Sima family. ”

If you want to stand up, you must make others think that the Xuanyue Pavilion family has a great cause, a deep background, and of course the things on the table are indispensable. In this part, Yashi has done her best, and the rest depends on the two allies of the Nangong family and the Sima family.

Just when Chu Zhen was thinking about what else was missing, Long Yixuan walked into the door of the warehouse and said helplessly: "Don't wait, the resources of the Nangong family and the Sima family will not arrive. ”

"Oh, what's going on?"

On the way back to Pengcheng, Nangong Yu'er and Sima Qingkong had made it clear that they would do their best to help Xuanyue Pavilion get through the difficulties, but now that the situation has changed, Chu Zhen guessed that something should have happened.

"Our previous guess was right, Yuwen Haochen was really prepared. Just now, the Nangong family and the Sima family both sent people, but instead of the carriage that sent resources, they each came with an elder. ”

"Elder, when did these two families have an elder in Pengcheng, and they were found by Yuwen Haochen?"

In an instant, Chu Zhen understood that this was Yuwen Haochen's response. Using their respective family forces to restrain Nangong Yu'er and Sima Qingkong can not only cast a mouse taboo, but also avoid the conflict of interests between the families, which is the most effective means.

Long Yixuan nodded and said, "That's right." I talked to the two of them just now, and they were both sent by the head of the family, representing the Nangong family and the Sima family. Their meaning is very clear, that is, they do not want to get involved in this dispute, and they want to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. ”

"Oh, then are they negating this alliance?" Chu Zhen said softly.

"That's what's interesting, they didn't admit or deny this alliance. In my opinion, they are waiting to see who will lose and who will win in the end. ”

"If you win, you are allies, and if you lose, you will break up in a hurry and don't know each other, right?" Chu Zhen asked unexpectedly.

Long Yixuan smiled lightly and said, "That's right, it's so practical." To tell the truth, this is already good, the Yuwen family has always been domineering, and they have bullied the Nangong family and the Sima family, if it weren't for the Sima family and the Nangong family being involved at the same time, let them see the hope of cooperation, I'm afraid it would have flashed far away. ”

Chu Zhen bowed slightly, he had actually been mentally prepared for this. It's just that the most empty warehouse at the moment makes him a little worried.

"Let's think of another way!"

Just when Chu Zhen felt a headache, Yuan Hong and Wei Bao arrived.

"Dare to ask the Holy King, are you worried about the matter of resources?" asked Yuan Hong.

"The resources of the Nangong family and the Sima family are broken, and now, they really have to find another way. ”

Yuan Hong smiled and said, "For this, my subordinates know a place and can get a lot." ”

"Oh, where?"

Hearing this, Chu Zhen immediately became interested, but Yuan Hong's answer poured on his head like a basin of cold water.

"There are quite a few in the Yuwen family's fighting arena. ”

Chu Chen's face changed slightly, and he scolded with a smile: "When is it, you still make fun of me, if it worked, I would have done it a long time ago." ”

Wei Bao was straightforward, and immediately responded: "You don't need to grab it, just pull it back." ”

Chu Zhen immediately heard that he had something in his words, and hurriedly said, "Oh, what do you mean, explain it clearly." ”

Subsequently, Wei Bao answered the doubts of Chu Zhen and several people.

It turned out that every day when the fighting arena was approaching the evening, it would load part of the day's income into the carriage with some items of high value, and wait for the people of the Yuwen family to come and pick them up and return to the Yuwen Mansion, and there was a special rule for the handover of these things, that is, only the tokens were recognized, not the people. No matter who it is, if you want to take over this money, you must show the token specially made by Yuwen Mansion for this purpose, otherwise even if Yuwen Haochen is there in person, he will not be able to take it away.

The people who can hold this kind of token are all cronies of the Yuwen family, and if it is changed to the usual, it is really difficult for people to start. But just in time, the person in charge of escorting the goods today is named Guo Laosan, and his strength is in the real yuan five products, which is not weak, but he has a bad problem, that is, he is addicted to gambling, and every time before working, he has to gamble in the gambling village until the sun goes down before he is willing to go. And this gave Chu Zhen a chance to start. China

Chu Zhen, Yashi, and Long Yixuan looked at each other, feeling that this was indeed an opportunity, since Yuwen Haochen was looking for trouble with Xuanyue Pavilion, then let the Yuwen family have some blood first.

"Third child, are you familiar with this situation, and is the news reliable?" Chu Zhen asked.

Yuan Hong immediately replied: "It's not familiar, but I've seen him a few times when I was in the fighting arena, and he is indeed a gambler." ”

"That's good, then let's be disrespectful and accept this generous gift from the Yuwen family. ”

"Hey, buy it and leave. ”

Inside the gambling house, there was a lot of noise, and streamers flickered on the walls and roof, revealing strange symbols from time to time.

This is a special prohibition that is specifically used to find out if someone has used Yuan Li. In order to avoid some powerful cultivators, relying on the advantage of cultivation, they can gain insight into the results of the gambling game.

"Fuck, it's a bloody day today. ”

The third child angrily knocked the gambling table, and then opened the money bag, only to see that there were only two pitiful gold coins lying inside.

After gambling in this gambling house for an afternoon, the third child lost an afternoon, and now, the money bag has been lost.

"Gambling on the last one, Lao Tzu doesn't believe in this evil. ”

Slapped the two gold coins on the table, and the third child planned to give it a final fight.

As soon as I got up, I caught a glimpse of the sun setting in the west outside the window, and the sky was a little dark.

"Oh no, what time is it?" asked the third child hurriedly.

"Back to the third master's words, it will be evening. ”

Because when the third child was gambling here, he always used the title of the manager of Yuwen Mansion, so the people in the gambling house gave him this honorific title, but in fact, he didn't look down on him at all.

"I'm not gambling anymore, I'll come back tomorrow, I'll come back tomorrow. ”

Delay the big thing, that is to be punished heavily, but the third child did not dare to delay, waved his hand back to take back the two gold coins on the gambling table, turned around and ran out.

As soon as he went out, the third child ran to the location of the fighting venue, but he had just passed by an alley, but he heard shouts from there.

"Bet on dice, lose one to ten, if you are brave enough, try it. ”

"Lose one and lose ten?"

In addition, the third child touched the only two remaining gold coins and couldn't help but be moved.

"This lord, let's gamble. As long as you win, no matter how much you bet, I will pay you tenfold. ”

Lu Rong squatted on the ground, placed the empty bowl in front of him, and put three dice in the bowl, and shouted at the third child.

Besides, the third child looked at Lu Rong a few times, and saw that he was just a hairy boy, with a stupid expression on his face, and his strength was even more pitiful, not even in the True Yuan Realm.

"There is no prohibition here that restricts Yuan Li, if you bet with this kid, it's no wonder that Lao Tzu will lose!"

Besides, the third child looked at the setting sun again, and suddenly felt that there was enough time to bet on one or two, so he couldn't hold it anymore and ran to the mouth of the alley excitedly.

"Here, these are two gold coins, I'll shake them first. ”

In addition, the third child threw the two gold coins to the ground, picked up the empty bowl on the ground and shook it.

In the process of shaking, the silk yuan force flowed into the bowl in a way that Lu Rong could not detect, secretly manipulating the result of shaking.

With a "pop", the empty bowl fell to the ground, and then opened, and there were three sixes inside.

"Haha, Lao Tzu has won, hurry up, get twenty gold coins. ”

"It's really bad luck to meet a master. ”

Lu Rong said something stupid, then took out twenty gold coins and handed them over.

The third child hurriedly took the gold coin, not to mention how happy he was. He was about to leave, but he heard Lu Rong say again: "Let's bet again, as long as I don't shake out three sixes, I will give you a hundred gold coins." ”

As soon as he heard that it was a hundred gold coins, he took back the steps he had just taken.

"There is no reason not to want money for nothing. ”

muttered in his heart, and the third man shouted: "Okay, gamble again." You hurry up, I'm in a hurry. ”

"Okay, then you see. ”

Lu Rong picked up the empty bowl containing the dice and shook it in the air a few times, then gently placed it on the ground, and then slowly moved the empty bowl away.

In front of him, there was the ownership of a hundred gold coins, and for a while, all the attention of the third child was on the empty bowl that was gradually moving.

And at this moment, the cold air moved quietly, and a thin wisp of mist also drifted in.
