Chapter 398: The Epitome of the World
The escort Ah Lai walked along the most lively street in Suzhou City to the teahouse.
The guards of the Yuwen family are all carefully selected.
They were inconspicuous in the crowd.
Yuan Bao and I have been waiting for him to come back, and we look at the crowd with a little expectation in our hearts.
With this premise, it is easier than ordinary people to find the figure of the guard in the crowd. "Childe, it looks like he's bought what you wanted!"
Yuan Bao looked at the street with me, and couldn't help but speak out beside him.
His eyes and I were both fixed on the guards walking towards us on the streets of Suzhou.
I also saw the cloth bag he was carrying clearly, and nodded when I heard the words: "Yuanbao, although he is not as familiar with Suzhou City as you, as long as there are things, you can always find them with a little time." “
The bookstore's business certainly can't be compared with the tea house, and there are obviously more people drinking tea. "Childe, shall we go down now, or wait for him to come up to us?"
Yuan Bao asked me, looked at me and waited.
"Don't worry, I'll talk about it when Ah Lai comes back," I said after a deep groan, "Yuanbao, I still have to take a look at what he bought, and then plan after confirmation." ”
I beckoned, and while the guard walked to the teahouse, the young man served us another plate of snacks, which I specially ordered for the guard.
The guard walked near the teahouse and looked up at us, apparently aware of the gaze in the teahouse.
Yuan Bao waved his hand at him, and the guards immediately pushed away the crowd. Hurry up and enter the teahouse.
In a few moments, he sat down at our table and handed me the cloth bag in his hand. "Childe. You've found what you're looking for. “
I opened the drawstring at the mouth of the bag and looked inside, then raised my head and smiled: "Ah Lai, it's good to buy right, you can eat something." ”
"Let's take a walk around the city in a moment, I still have somewhere else I want to go."
I watched as the guards picked up snacks, poured tea and drank them, and looked outside. Instead, he asked, "Ah Lai, you were walking on the street just now, and you have also been to the bookstore and the store by the way." ”
"Have you noticed anything wrong in Suzhou City?"
It's the same thing for me and Yuan Bao to wait and see from the teahouse. It's another thing to walk down the street and blend in with the crowd.
Coupled with the guard's keen eye, it should be easier for me and Yuan Bao to perceive the movements around us.
That's why I deliberately asked him to do the task, instead of choosing ingots.
Although buying things is not what the guards are good at, but observing whether there is any movement on the street is not what ingots are good at.
"It seems like there are a lot more people on the street. Nothing else. Son! ”
Guard Alai replied after thinking about it.
"I can see this with Yuanbao," he said in a calm tone, just as we had noticed, "I did see more pedestrians on the street today than when I went out last time. ”
"We sit in a good position, and we can see it from the teahouse."
If it weren't for the convenient location of the teahouse, business would not have been like this.
"I saw the people walking down the street. In addition to the local residents of Suzhou, there are many people of different races mixed in with it. ”
The corners of my mouth tugged at each other. With a somewhat casual tone, he said lightly: "Ah Lai, before the war in the Northland resumed, so many people from different races came to Suzhou City, according to you, do you think there will be people who will be mixed in to spy in the middle?" “
I tossed the same question to the guard, wanting to hear his answer.
At the same time, Yuanbao's gaze invariably shifted to the guard's face.
Being looked at by the two of them together, the guard frowned and said, "There have always been many aliens from the Northland. ”
"Because of the location of Suzhou City, there are a lot of foreign races who come here to do business, and they buy goods every year."
About this, the tsundere boy has mentioned it to me.
The guard put down the tea cup in his hand and said in a different tone: "Childe, right now, the war in the North is imminent, and it is a bit strange that so many alien races appear on the street. “
He thinks the same thing as I do.
I nodded: "I don't think they will come to do useless work, I guess the movements of the king master are about to surface." “
Only this reason can explain the reason why so many alien races appear in Suzhou City at the same time.
Because of Wang Shi's traces, the ordinary people in Suzhou City want to know, and people of other races are even more anxious to know.
The alien race joined forces with the princess, and the two sides competed for some benefits, but they also bet their lives on this.
If the princess is defeated and the empress's side wins, it is enough to think about what kind of life they will face next!
Therefore, the other party also left some tricks, judging from the matters I talked about with Tianfang before, the information he received showed that the support of the alien race was carried out in secret, and there was really not much involved on the surface.
But even a small common person in Suzhou City knows that because of the location of the foreign race, it is obvious that they are far closer to the princess than the empress.
It's clear who is close and who is sparse! "Childe, where are you going next?" After a moment of silence, Yuan Bao raised his head and asked me. "There's still a place to go, by the way, Yuanbao, when we go out, how much money do you have with you?"
This is very important, and if you want to do the next thing, you must first determine it.
"Childe, do you have anything else you want to buy?" Yuan Bao was slightly stunned at first when he heard this, and then immediately asked me.
"Yes and no, you can see first." I replied casually, and saw that the ingots really took out the money bag and opened it in my hand.
With Ah Lai, he is not afraid of the money bag being exposed.
In front of me and the guards, he carefully counted the remaining coins in the bag.
After a while, Yuan Bao approached me and whispered a number.
I nodded, looked at the guard who was eating snacks, and said, "Don't worry, let's go after eating." ”
After a few moments, I saw that the guards had almost eaten. took the ingots and the guard Ah Lai and walked down from the teahouse together.
Actually, I thought it was a little strange to come out this time.
In the past, I remember that when I went to the teahouse, I would always hear some rumors, but today I came. And all who sat around did not seem to hear any of them speak of the war in the Northland.
Isn't it just the right time for me to come, or is it that this gossip person hasn't come out yet?
I kind of can't figure it out.
I think it's strange, of course, Yuanbao also feels the same way, when the two of us were waiting for the guards in the teahouse, Yuanbao mentioned it to me.
At first, he and I thought that we could hear a lot of discussion about the war in the north and the movements of the king in the teahouse, and we were very sure to come here. It turned out to be nothing.
At this time, I drank tea and ate snacks. By the way, I also bought the things I needed to go to the bookstore, so it was time to go to the next stop.
Outside was bustling and noisy, and I took Yuan Bao and Ah Lai out of the threshold of the teahouse.
"Yuanbao, tell me. Where is the largest gambling house in Suzhou City right now? ”
Yuan Bao and Ah Lai looked at each other when they heard the words. Taken aback.
"Why do you have such expressions, is it strange that I am going to the gambling house?" I smiled and looked at them and asked.
"Of course it's not strange!" Yuan Bao smiled awkwardly, and said abruptly, "Childe, do you want to see and see?" ”
"Almost, you lead the way."
Speechless all the way, the ingots were walking in front, and I was in the center. He was followed by an escort.
We walked a little from the busiest street in Suzhou, then turned a corner and headed north to a small alley.
"That's it ahead. You said that the largest gambling house in Suzhou City, but Childe, the third young master of our family is very taboo about this. ”
Yuan Bao whispered, looked at me worriedly and asked, "Childe, that kind of place is not good in the end." ”
I don't know the ingots, think about how many times the tsundere boy has nagged on the way here, my ears are about to become calloused!
"I see, isn't it expedient now?"
I looked at Yuan Bao and smiled: "I know the habits of your third young master, but when he was shy in his pocket, he didn't rely on me to solve the problem. ”
"And this?" Yuan Bao looked at me in disbelief and asked, "You have done a lot with the third young master." ”
I spread my hands and said, "We were in the town, and the money we brought was not enough to pay for meals and hire a car, so we went to a gambling house to solve the problem." ”
"I know it's not a good place, but it's urgent right now."
"Childe, but we're not short of money right now," Yuan Bao said in surprise.
"That's the third young master of your family, I'm still very poor in money, I won't tell you, Yuanbao, I thought about it for most of the night last night."
I said to him without mince words: "Come to think of it, there is really only one way to get money in the fastest way at the moment." ”
"I can't find my senior brother, and I can't stay in Suzhou City for a long time," I sighed, and continued, "If I could stay longer, I wouldn't have used such methods." ”
Even if I go to the pharmacy to find something to do, or I can think of other ways, but time waits for no one, I'm going to the Northland, time is pressing!
"Extraordinary times are extraordinary and informal."
Yuanbao's lips moved, as if he wanted to say two words of dissuasion.
I could understand his expression, and I could guess what he was thinking at this moment, shook his head and smiled: "Speaking of which, I would rather go to the gambling house by myself than talk to the third young master of your family." ”
"Childe, aren't you afraid of losing?" Yuan Bao glanced at me, he looked at me with his mouth wide open, and after a while, he asked, "What if I lose?" ”
"I'm pretty lucky," I said, snapping my fingers, "and so far, it seems to be going well." ”
I think back to the first few times I went to the casino, and I haven't missed a game yet.
As for whether it is pleasant to meet those people when you come out of the gambling house, that's another matter.
Besides, I can be so fearless because I am closely followed by the guards of the Yuwen family.
There's a guard, and I'm not worried about being intercepted by a stalker in the gambling house later.
Compared to the last time I was in the town, this time I relied on a little more, and the security coefficient was also high.
It's like the last time, an adventure was staged in a small town!
…… I walked with Yuan Bao and Ah Lai to the door of the gambling house in the alley, and when I heard the shouting from inside the wall, I stopped at the door.
Even if you return to the same place, it is only a matter of time, and this trip to Zealand, the number of times in and out of the gambling house has exceeded expectations.
I stood at the door, and Yuan Bao immediately stepped forward and said, "Childe, the little one will go in first to check it out." ”
Is he worried about safety? I shook my head and said, "No, it's appropriate for Ah to follow us." ”
After saying that, the three of them approached the door of the gambling house one after another.
Gambling houses and other places, although not in the stream, are also a microcosm of the world, and you can often see all kinds of people here.
As soon as we entered, we were "shocked" by the lively scene inside. "Yuanbao, look here, don't you think about the big war in the Northland, it's a place to have fun."
Yuan Bao nodded slightly, and the guard Ah Lai narrowed the distance, almost following me step by step.
Look at his nervous appearance, as if there is a gang of robbers hiding here.
In other words, he and Yuan Bao would rarely come to such a place, just look at their reactions.
Unlike me, once raw and twice cooked, seeing those dice throwing techniques, it actually feels a little familiar. "Childe, are you sure we're going to play here?" Yuan Bao asked me in a whisper. "It's not us, it's me." I corrected him.
The tsundere boy taboos this, can I still encourage the ingots to participate in them? Besides, there is not enough money, and their technology is a question mark. "Yuanbao, you give me the money bag, I will act on the opportunity, don't worry."
Yuan Bao hesitated, but still handed the money bag in his arms to me
The two of them followed me around a few tables, and finally I picked a place to stop.
I won't try other unfamiliar tricks, but I choose the one I know and know best.
The technique I tried in Qibei is the same here
After a few rounds, the ingots who followed him were as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, staring at the table more excited than me. "Childe, you are so lucky, you never knew that you could play like this with gambling money."
Compared with Yuanbao's excitement, I have always been calm at the gaming table, and I looked at him with a smile when I heard the words: "Do you think the money is too easy?" “
Yuan Bao nodded hurriedly, seeing that some of the gamblers on the side cast envious and jealous eyes, I paused and lowered my voice to Yuan Bao and said: "Money comes easily, and it goes quickly, if you want to see it, you will accept it." “
As I spoke, I won another game, and this time I didn't hesitate to put away my hand and hand over the money I had won on the table to Yuanbao to put away.
A few eyes from a distance in the gambling house converged towards our table, and the guard Ah Lai immediately squeezed away a few people next to him and deliberately raised his voice to me: "Childe, it's time to go back, lest the master send someone to find you in a while." “
I made a reluctant expression and retreated from the crowd with Yuan Bao and Ah Lai. "Childe, the money is so easy, why don't you try it again?" (To be continued......)
