Chapter 41: Hengcheng

"This is Hengcheng, and it is worthy of being the largest town under the influence of the Hengshan faction. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Zhou Chen looked at the tall city wall in front of him, and couldn't help but exclaim.

In this world, there is no imperial power, and it is completely a state of separation between large and small rivers and lakes.

Although the Hengshan faction is not one of the nine major sects, it is also the second first-class sect.

Among the forces of the Hengshan faction, Hengcheng is the largest and richest. It can even be said that half of the economy of the Hengshan faction depends on this city.

After Zhou Chen and Shen Junlian left the broken temple that day, they traveled for a few more days, passing through two or three villages and towns, before arriving here.

The two of them planned to enter the city, one was to have a good rest, and the other was to make some supplies.

Zhou Chen had no silver on him, and although Shen Junlian offered to exchange her jewelry for money, he didn't want to do so.

Shen Jun didn't have many jewelry, they were all used for embellishment, and Zhou Chen was also pleasing to the eye, and he didn't want to use up these jewelry because of lack of money to spend, which would affect the beauty.

So he still has to repeat his old tricks and "borrow money" from others.

It's just that the security in Hengcheng is very good, and there are Hengshan disciples patrolling the streets at any time, and Zhou Chen can't directly use force to rob it as before.

But this is not a big deal, because there is a gambling hall in Hengcheng, and Zhou Chen is going to go there to "borrow money" properly.

The entrance fee to Hengcheng requires four copper coins, and two people are eight copper coins, but the trick is that two horses actually have to be charged, and they also cost eight coppers.

Of course, Zhou Chen didn't care about this, he could still afford some copper coins, so he passed through the city gate smoothly.

It's just that although Shen Junlian covered his face with a scarf, he still attracted a lot of attention, and several Hengshan disciples who were responsible for collecting the city fee almost looked straight at their eyes. If they see their faces again, I'm afraid it will be complicated again.

"Brother Zhou...... Why don't I change into men's clothes in the future?"

Walking on the street after entering the city, Shen Junlian still couldn't escape the attention of many people, which made her feel uncomfortable.

She rarely shows her head, and even if she goes out, she will sit in a sedan chair and carriage or something, so she is very unaccustomed to being looked at at casually like this.

In fact, she is so conspicuous, the scarf used to cover her face is the main reason, and the more she is masked, the easier it is to make people curious. It's just that she can't afford not to wear it, otherwise it's easier to cause trouble, which is very contradictory.

And now that she came to Hengcheng, there were almost all kinds of clothing stores, and she thought of buying men's clothes to change into, so as to get rid of the frequent attention of others.

"It doesn't have to be that way, and it's mostly in vain, even if you change into men's clothes, you still need to cover your face, and that's pretty much the same as now. If you don't bring a scarf, then others will know at a glance that you are a woman, and you are also a beautiful woman, and the trouble that should come will still come. ”

Zhou Chen rejected her proposal, and while he walked and searched, he soon saw a gambling house.

"Let's go, go in and get some money. ”

Zhou Chen walked towards the gambling house, and Shen Junlian followed closely.

"Come on, come on, buy and leave!

"I said this uncle, do you bet or not? If you don't move, I can open it!"

"Don't don't, I'm betting big!"

"Okay, then I'll open it, one, three or four o'clock small!"

"Oh!

Entering the gambling hall, what Zhou Chen heard was a noise, every table was full of people, and almost all of them were shouting and talking.

In just a few moments, there will be a few people dancing and ecstatic, and many more lost souls.

Zhou Chen ignored all this, and walked over to a random table.

......

More than an hour later, Zhou Chen and Shen Junlian walked out of the gambling house.

At this time, on Zhou Chen, there were already more than eighty taels of silver.

This was obtained in exchange for two taels of silver.

With his ability to release his soul thoughts, he was naturally able to win nine out of ten bets, but he still deliberately won and lost, and in the end he only got more than eighty taels, so he accepted it when he saw it.

If he really wants to win more, he is afraid of attracting the attention of others, and if he only has eighty taels, it is nothing at all.

For Zhou Chen, the silver is of no great use for the time being, as long as there is enough food and shelter, eighty taels can be used for a long time.

But even if he deliberately kept a low profile, he still caused trouble just now.

The source of trouble is still Shen Junlian.

He entered the gambling hall with such a masked girl, and he couldn't even attract attention if he wanted to.

He was just because he noticed that someone wanted to fish in troubled waters, and took advantage of Shen Junlian's salty pig hands in the dark, so he directly broke the man's hands and feet, and finally made up for a kick under his crotch.

If he abolished a person like this outside the gambling hall, no matter what the reason was, he would definitely attract the patrolling Hengshan disciples.

But in casinos, it's much easier.

The owner of the gambling hall obviously has a background, and as long as the conflict inside is not big, the disciples of Hengshan can't control it.

When Zhou Chen abolished that person, he showed good skills, so the person in charge of the gambling hall also wisely did not pursue him anything, but apologized, and then dragged the abolished person away.

After this episode, no one dared to get close to Zhou Chen and Shen Junlian by half a step, so that Zhou Chen smoothly "borrowed" enough money and left the gambling hall.

I have to say that the security in Hengcheng is really good, because the two horses that Zhou Chen tied outside the gambling hall were there and were not taken away.

This was not unexpected by Zhou Chen, otherwise he would not have left the horse outside at will like this.

Putting on the horse again, the two went to a few more clothing stores and bought a few new clothes.

In terms of dressing up, Zhou Chen didn't have to buy that kind of red and pink gorgeous clothes like the people who practiced sunflowers from the palace in the TV series, and then put on heavy makeup, painted eye shadow and red lips, and made it seem like he had to let others know that he was a shemale.

It's not that he's not mentally affected, it's just that the details of his temperament are a little cold, so he won't do such a disgusting thing.

The clothes he chose were still plain black and gray, and nothing had changed.

And Shen Junlian, her own clothes are extremely precious, but at this time, she will not pay attention to anything, so she chooses two ordinary dresses at random.

After buying clothes, the two began to look for a place to stay.

The large and small inns in Hengcheng, the largest and most famous of them is called Hengcheng Inn.

If you want to live, you can live the best, and the two of them went straight there.

Hengcheng Inn has a total of three floors, covering a large area, in which the decoration is not low-grade, but the check-in fee is a little expensive.

It costs five taels of silver to open a first-class room for a night, which is almost the same as robbing money.

Of course, people who can live in high-class housing don't care about the money.

Zhou Chen directly asked for two first-class rooms, handed over the two horses to an innkeeper to take care of, and gave two taels of silver tips, he and Shen Junlian went upstairs. (To be continued.) )
