In September 5353 of the Yellow Emperor Era, Huarong City

"Where did the guest come from?" Xiao Er asked flatteringly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"South," he replied.

"You're here for Fanghuafang, right?" Xiao Er put on the wine and food and said, "In the past few months, I don't know how many people have come over from all over the world just to go to Fanghuafang to gamble." ”

"Oh? So you know where it is? He asked.

"Where can I know about the little one, but ah, I've heard people say that as long as you have money there, the more you win, the more you get, the more you want."

"Then if I want to find someone, I can find it?" He said with interest.

"That's not exactly, who knows what's in there, maybe there are even intelligence traffickers in there."

"An intelligence dealer can't tell me so much I want." He smiled, suddenly heard the sound of birdsong, and shook his head, "Say Cao Cao Cao arrived." With that, he walked out of the inn.

The white dove saw the familiar person, and hurriedly flew to the arm that was being raised. He took the letter from the bird's claws, released the pigeon and returned, opened the letter, two lines of words, the first line: Huaguo Mountain is the king, fly to the green clouds and drive the horse. Line 2: Can you come back soon!

"Yes, get busy, finish your work early and go back early." He rolled up the letter and threw it aside, and it spontaneously combusted.

Night, Huaguo Mountain.

"Although it's not really Huaguo Mountain here, the scenery is still beautiful like flowers, and it's understandable to want to see it, but why do you have to come at night?" The guide asked.

"Well...... Just want to see, oh, that's it. He took out two taels of silver, "Don't tell me what you brought me here." ”

The guide took the money, turned around and left.

"Rockery, fake water, fake monkey." He strolled at the foot of the mountain, "Busy riding horses? On the clouds? Horse? Cloud? He looked up at the top of the mountain, smiled thoughtfully, and walked towards the top.

About a quarter of an hour later, he walked to the top of the mountain, there are many strange stones on the top of the mountain that are not covered by the night, but because the starlight becomes more magical, among which there is a strange stone, arching his back like a stone monkey, he glanced at it, his heart has been a little certain, jumped on the stone monkey, and then looked at the sky, according to the direction of the stone monkey's head downward, there is a clearing in the place where the strange stones stand, there is a small stone lamp next to the stone gate, as if sensing his existence, suddenly ignited, as if to let him in, after a little hesitation, jumped over, Knock.

Fong Wah Fang.

"Where do the guests come from?" The oncoming person was dressed very gorgeously, wearing a half-mask, and his tone was very polite.

"Tiannan Haibei." He replied.

"What do you want?" The man seemed satisfied, and asked again.

"Do what I want." Still a bland answer.

"Guest, please." The man made a gesture of please, and led him in, "The gambling here is the same as the outside, everything is gambling, except for one point, gambling money, there is no more than 10,000 taels, you come in late, tomorrow morning, there will be a headless corpse at the gate of the city." ”

He laughed, took a bead from the placket, the bead glowed, the size of two fists, and he said, "I don't know how much this thing is worth?" ”

The man was startled, stretched out his hand to take it, and asked in surprise: "This, could this be the only luminous stone left among the Heavenly Divine Stones twenty-eight years ago?" But this thing is clearly hidden in the deep garden of the palace, guarded by the Royal Forest Army all night, and there are also the Jiyue Dao Chiefs of the Qinghua Palace and the Sword Casting Villa guarded by the Sword Warrior in turn, how to obtain it? ”

"Could it be a fake?" Another greeter asked.

"Such a fluorescent stone, you can find a second one for me." The man calmed down, "Guest officer, this thing is too valuable, we need to sum it up, and then come to a conclusion, this is 50,000 taels, let's take a look at it at will." Before they could finish speaking, the two men left.

The gambling house is composed of four parts, small gambling, big gambling, resting, and the last house has the following written on it: Life and Death Bureau.

Without hesitation, he walked into the life and death situation, and there was silence inside, and there were three famous people sitting in the three directions of the square table, and all three of them smiled politely at him at the same time, as if waiting for his arrival. On the way to his seat, he saw that a person was wearing an antique dragon and phoenix Chengxiang ring on his hand, although it was a little damaged, but it was a thousand-year-old antique, and he should be the richest man in Huarong City: Li Chunqiu. Another person has a piece of jade pinned to the sard, full of emerald green, and there is a mountain carved on it, which is the work of Master Puyu, this person should be Luoyang's Luo Shang, the property of all the people in Luoyang City, how much has something to do with him, the last person, his boots are inlaid with sapphires, and there is a landmark cloud symbol on the side of the boots, it is the people of the Yun family in Huayang City, they are all rich people, but they can't see that the three of them are competing, these are probably just their ordinary clothes, so they don't care, hum, the real rich people really don't bother to show off.

I feel like I'm sitting in this bunch of turtles.

He sat down and asked, "How to play?" ”

"No trouble." Li Chunqiu opened his mouth and asked the attendants around him to open the curtain next to him, there was another large and somewhat exaggerated room, a huge ring, and there was a naked and strong man standing on each side, and there was a taste of despair in their eyes.

"We will each press one man, and they will fight to the death, and win that man, the big winner." As he spoke, he gave a thumbs up, "Take away all the gambling money, win that fighter, and you can also take out 10% of the gambling money." ”

"Ichisei?" He wondered, "What is the starting point?" ”

"Fifty thousand taels."

Four people, two hundred thousand taels! Yicheng also has 20,000 taels! No wonder it's so big, they must all be outlaws, and those who win go out to change their faces.

"What about the specific rules?" He asked.

"We can have a reference, after we have chosen, there will be information on the token, and then we will bring it back to our place for a short period of training, and after three days, we will compete here." Luo Shang said, "We can add chips to the other party, let the person chosen by the other party exchange with us, and the higher part will be used as a bet, and the rest will be taken away." ”

He nodded in understanding: "Shall we start then?" ”

"Please." The people of the Yun family stood up.

The four of them walked to the window of the other room, where the four people were of similar height and size, and even their hair was all shaved.

"I'll pick number four." Luo Shang picked up the wooden token of No. 4 and made it back.

"Then I'll pick the number one." After Li Chunqiu finished speaking, he sat back.

"Don't you take the information?" Luo Shang looked at Li Chunqiu and asked, "Have such confidence." Such a reply was received.

"Then I'm three." He immediately picked up the number three token, "After all, I am not two." "I'm leaving.

"Childe, are you leaving?" The squire asked.

"Or else? Do you have a late-night snack service here? He asked curiously.

"Nope." The squire smiled, "It's just that you need to leave a part of the bet, otherwise, in case you don't come, we won't lose much." ”

"Oh~~~" He smiled, took out the fifty thousand taels of silver tickets he had given him earlier from the placket of his clothes, and put them on the table, "Let him come here." As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper with the address written on it.

"Childe, your pearl of the night." He took out the previous Night Pearl again, "The valuation of it has been completed, but we have to ask our master for this price first, and if we want to gamble next time, we can bring it again." ”

Yuan Nuoye came back, shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't care. ”

"Doesn't Childe check the authenticity?"

"There's no need."

"Childe ......"

"What's wrong again?" He turned impatiently.

"We'll send you back." The man smiled and said, "Please come with them." As soon as he finished speaking, two more attendants invited him over.

I went down two floors, and when I reached the bottom, I saw a coffin full of people, and one of them opened the lid unhurriedly.

"Hey! It's not so old-fashioned as to put me in a coffin, is it? After saying that, he consciously walked into the coffin and lay down.

The lid of the coffin was also closed, and he could feel that he was being lifted, and then began to move quickly.

"Bang!"

The coffin was put down heavily, and he came out of the coffin to find that it was a cemetery in the forest outside the city. He slowly climbed up, took the candied fruit out of his sleeve and chewed it.

The woods were a little eerie by the moonlight, the light was intermittent, and the voice came from the other side: "The sky net is magnificent, but it is not leaky." ”

"Old-fashioned." "I've made a bet," he said, chewing on the preserves, but they still look more at the beads you gave, and by the way, I've seen the person you're looking for." ”

"Really in there?" The dark shadow asked.

"And I chose it, and it should be in my room later." He quickened his pace and watched as he walked out of the woods.

"One more thing."

"Don't expose you." He stepped on, "I know. ”

"No, she told you to die quickly."

Depend on!

The next morning.

When he woke up, he could clearly sense that there was another person, and he sat up, it was the number three he chose, the number three was wearing a rag shirt and his face was also black, and he stood by the table in a daze.

"Wash it first, it's too dirty." He said disgustedly.

Number Three nodded, took a basin of water, and washed his face.

"What's your name?" He asked as he pulled out a box of preserves from the cupboard.

"The knife doesn't hurt." Dao Wuxian's tone was a little low, "Eighteen years old, the current record is seventeen fights, eleven wins, one loss and five draws." ”

He nodded and stuffed the candied fruit into his mouth and asked, "When did you do something for them?" ”

"Six years ago, I was just arrested to do chores." The knife said plainly. I should have been asked more than once, "I won't be bribed by you to be your subordinate." ”

"I didn't say that," he rolled his eyes, "huh? You said you were caught? ”

"No one in the life and death situation is voluntary, almost all of them are people who were arrested when they were children, some are street children, and some are people from rich and noble families," Dao Wushu began to explain, "I am the one who wandered here five years ago. ”

"Listen to your accent, it should be from the north, haven't thought about running away?"

"Someone tried, and they all died." The knife paused without injury, "Some of them were found dead on the spot when they fled, and some of them were captured and used as our meat bags, and if we don't kill them, we will die." ”

"Bad Lands." He took a sip of water, "So, you are afraid of death, so you don't run away?" ”

"Nope." Speaking of which, this guy who is twice as big as himself is actually shy, "I'm trying to figure out a way to escape with her." ”

"She?" He asked curiously, "Woman?" ”

Dao Wuxian nodded, "He was caught as a prize for gamblers, many people can gamble with the general after winning money, as long as it is the one who wins, Fanghuafang will give what he can afford." ”

"General?" He grasped the point, "It's a code name, is it the owner of Fanghuafang?" ”

"No, no one knows who the master is, and the general is just an agent." "Generally few people can bet with the general, and few people win with the general, and no one who wins the game wants to see the master, after all, there are so many good things, compared to meeting someone who has never known each other, it is still a little more affordable." ”

"Then how can I bet with the general?" He came interested.

"As long as you win the whole game and get a total of more than 10,000 taels, you can meet the general and play with him. Life and death is a must-gamble, and if you want to see the general, you must win an undefeated game. The knife is not hurting.

"That's fine, I thought it would be hard." He smiled, "I just need to put this bead on this handful, and you will see the general when you win." ”

"Impossible." The knife was uninjured and looked frustrated.

"Huh!?" He was a little puzzled, "Aren't you seventeen battles, eleven wins, one loss and five draws?" ”

"The other three wins are all around twenty." "If I can win this time, I will save enough money to gamble with the general, but unfortunately ......"

"You can bet too?" He was even more puzzled.

"Anyone can do it, as long as you win 10,000,000 taels, and after winning, I want her and my freedom." The knife landed unharmed and said, "It's a pity that I can only do it again." ”

He put down the candied fruit and spoke: "Don't be discouraged, since you are also a gambler, you should know that gambling cannot be weak, whoever is the first to instigate will die first." He got up, went out the window, looked at the flying pigeon, and said, "I will let you win." ”
