Chapter 68, Gambling
Feng Yan was very reluctant to follow King Xiao on the war horse, and went around to Yanbo Lane in the west of the town, which is a famous casino in Sanjiang Town, gathering many brothels, casinos, wine shops, and song and dance workshops
The two came to a casino, and King Xiao handed over the reins in his hand to the attendant who came forward, pulled Feng Yan and walked inside
"What are you doing here," Feng Yan trotted and followed the pace of King Xiao, raised his head and asked puzzledly
Xiao Wang walked forward and said lightly: "Come and try your luck"
Feng Yan was a little anxious, she was worried about Fang Hua's safety, and she didn't have the heart to accompany him for pastime, but now it seems that it is not easy to get out of the way
The room was not spacious, but it was packed with people, and there was a square table in the center, and a circle of people was engaged in a fierce game
The two men in the middle were stacked with chips in front of them, and they were the real opponents of this gamble
One of the men in brown robes touched the dominoes in his hand with a solemn face, and after a while, he hooked his lips coldly, and smiled contemptuously at the man in a black satin dress opposite, and said: "Boss Zheng, I'm sorry, it looks like you are going to stay in Sanjiang Town today."
As soon as the card was revealed, everyone was suddenly embarrassed, and the man in black sitting opposite saw the card he showed with a big bead of sweat on his forehead
"Papapapa" King Xiao smiled and clapped his palms, turned to the side of the man in brown clothes, and said with a smile: "Hahaha, I didn't expect to see Boss Tong again, Boss Tong's luck is really unstoppable recently."
As soon as the man known as Boss Tong raised his eyes, he met King Xiao's eyes that seemed to be smiling, and he immediately recognized that this was the Xiao Gongzi who lost a thousand taels of silver to him not long ago
So he ordered his subordinates to clean up the chips on the table, got up, and arched his hand towards Xiao Wang Yi and said, "Hahaha, isn't this Xiao Gongzi, let's try your luck again today?"
King Xiao smiled and nodded, stretched out his hand to untie the jade pendant on his waist, this jade pendant is a treasure given by the emperor of Changling Kingdom, and its value can buy the entire Sanjiang Town
But it's just a priceless thing, and there are very few people who can afford it
"Boss Tong Xiao is willing to use this piece of jade pendant as a bargaining chip to bet on the car of goods you just won, what do you think" King Xiao handed the jade pendant forward and asked Boss Tong to take a closer look
Boss Tong stretched out his hand to take the jade pendant and took it in his hand, and took a closer look, this jade pendant was indeed a good thing, and the value was much higher than that of the car, so he frowned and asked with a little doubt: "Xiao Gongzi really wants to bet on that carload with this piece of beautiful jade."
"Exactly," King Xiao replied without thinking
Feng Yan, who was standing beside King Xiao, didn't know what medicine was sold in King Xiao's gourd, so why did he have to gamble and use his jade pendant as a bargaining chip
"Okay, someone will open a table for Xiao Gongzi, and someone will sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman to play with Xiao Gongzi," Boss Tong ordered happily, and the table was set up after only a while
King Xiao tilted his head sideways, lowered his voice, and muttered in Feng Yan's ear: "You can't lose if you come to play for a while."
When Feng Yan heard this, she was immediately frightened and sweated, the gambling game he took asked her to gamble, and she was not allowed to lose, why is this
"But what if I don't know how to play," Feng Yan opened with a drum in his heart, trembling, telling the truth
King Xiao took advantage of the situation to pull Feng Yan in his arms, let her sit on his lap, and whispered in her ear: "No, you can bet, as long as you can steal cards, you can touch what I want."
After that, the corners of his lips curved and touched Feng Yan's delicate little earlobes, and the scorching softness caused Feng Yan's whole body to tense
Your Highness, you are taking the opportunity to eat tofu, and Feng Yan gave him a big roll of the eye
"Xiao Gongzi is really a suave, wild and uninhibited, hahaha, anytime and anywhere beauty is in his arms, he is really envious of Tong someone, hahahaha"
Picking up the tea bowl and taking a sip, Boss Tong smiled and glanced at the Xiao Gongzi opposite, his eyes were also full of inquiry
Feng Yan coughed lightly twice in embarrassment, and secretly raised her eyes to look at the people around her, and the circle of people was looking at her with burning eyes, and suddenly she felt a wave of heat hit her cheeks, and she broke free and wanted to stand up
"If you don't want to make trouble, just be obedient for a while, you help me touch the cards, what I want, what you touch, shuffle the cards carefully, carefully observe which card falls where, you have to remember carefully"
Feng Yan's ears came from King Xiao's whispered command, but his intoxicated look made everyone suddenly appear in infinite reverie
Listening to King Xiao say this, Feng Yan put her mind at ease, if she just touched the cards, then she could still do it, horizontal and vertical, is a quick hand, and when others did not react, she changed the cards she wanted
"Hahaha, if Boss Tong doesn't mind, I'll use the beauty's little fragrant hand to touch a good card for me," King Xiao pecked Feng Yan's pink little face again, which suddenly attracted a burst of embarrassment from everyone
Boss Tong smiled contemptuously and said secretly in his heart: This Xiao Gongzi is really an arrogant guy, it is strange if he goes to the casino with a beautiful woman in his arms and does not lose all his money
To say that gambling is the most distracted, to pay full attention to the opponent's reaction, clear analysis of the game, but also to have luck in the gambling to the end, gambling is more psychological resistance, where there is a real wonder like him
Just as everyone's eyes were focused on King Xiao's stealing incense from time to time, Feng Yan put all his attention into the domino in front of him
Boss Tong and the other two had already drawn cards, but Xiao Gongzi didn't make a move, and several people frowned and looked at him, only to see that he almost put his face on the woman's pretty face, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his lips turned up, looking very enjoyable
"Baby, come and draw cards" After a while, Xiao Gongzi softly spit out such a sentence
After Feng Yan got the order, she smiled charmingly at King Xiao, holding a piece of champa in her hand, reaching out to touch the cards, and the approximate position of each card was remembered by her, under the guidance of King Xiao, this hand of cards was extremely wonderful
"Boom" for a while, Feng Yan can't see anything famous, in short, King Xiao let her touch the cards, she touches him, what cards he wants, she gives him what cards
In less than half an hour, the other three at the table put away the contempt, ridicule, envy and jealousy on their faces, and were no longer attracted by the tiredness of the two, their faces were blue and heavy, and they looked like their father had died
Boss Tong raised his eyes and glanced at the woman who was snuggled in Xiao Gongzi's arms, only to see her whispering and laughing with Xiao Gongzi, the two flirted unscrupulously, playing cards without a match, and did not find anything suspicious
But Boss Tong just felt that things were a little strange, and this woman's luck was not ordinarily good
Seeing that he had just won the carload and was about to be exported, Boss Tong's heart became anxious, but he couldn't find the handle of the two opposite, suspecting that they were out of the woods, but he couldn't come up with evidence
The truck is very important, if it is exported by him, it will definitely be punished by the owner, thinking of this, a layer of sweat beads appeared on Boss Tong's forehead
You know, the owner's punishment is not fun
If you want to blame yourself, you can blame yourself for being too greedy, and you were actually attracted by Xiao Gongzi's priceless jade pendant and lost their hard-won goods
So you can't just let them take the goods away
"Wow", I saw that King Xiao pushed the cards in front of him, and he was confused again in this game, and he was a big one
"Boss Tong, thank you for giving up the car and the goods to Xiao," King Xiao's face flashed with unconcealed pleasure, and he didn't intend to hide the pride in his heart, so that everyone could see it
Feng Yan was deeply relieved when he saw that the task had been completed, and he looked up at Boss Tong with a somewhat pale face in front of him
Boss Tong gritted his back molars tightly, and the fire in his heart was almost broken out by the smugness of this Xiao Gongzi, but he couldn't show anything on his face, so he could only break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach
Be proud, see how long you can be proud, although Boss Tong hates blood in his heart, he must smile all over his face, he is opening a casino, he can't afford to lose, everyone in the room can look at it
"Hahaha, Young Master Xiao is really blessed, your confidante is really precious," Boss Tong laughed seemingly nonchalantly, but that smile was very terrifying, making Feng Yan feel that his back was straight for a while
"Please," said Boss Tong stretched out his hand and let the two go to the account room to settle the win or loss of this game
King Xiao and Feng Yan rode a high-headed horse in front, and the people in the casino were betting on the goods behind, and the group walked unhurriedly towards the Guiyan Inn, seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, and there were fewer and fewer people on the street
Today, the two of them cooperated quite perfectly, as if they had practiced in advance, Feng Yan's little hands were really dexterous, and even King Xiao didn't see how she replaced the cards
This little thing is really a treasure, and if you are short of money in the future, you will take her to the casino, and you will definitely be able to sweep away the casinos in the capital
"Your Highness, what do you want that truck of goods for?" Feng Yan, who couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart, finally asked
"Actually, I don't know what that cart is," King Xiao frowned and said something that made Feng Yan dumbfounded
A few days ago, Xiao Wang's subordinates found that this casino often has foreign businessmen coming and going, often like the boss Zheng just now, with a car full of goods, and the result is to lose everything
So a few days ago, he gambled with the boy boss before he came alone, and lost all the silver tickets he brought
And that visit made Xiaowang interested in this casino, not only because many people lost money here, but also many merchants lost goods here
The casino seems to be more interested in supplies
So today, he used the jade pendant given by the emperor as bait to attract Boss Tong to gamble with him and win a carload of goods, one is to find out what the goods are, and the other is to see the reaction of this casino
