Chapter 30: The Dead Country
Childe sat back in his seat, and the rich man raised his hand to the man behind him, and his men immediately piled up the silver. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Seeing this, the dealer re-dealt the cards for the two, and secretly glanced at the rich man with sympathy, pretending that he didn't know anything.
Qingying silently observed the two of them on the side, thinking that there was a good show to watch now.
Soon the first game had a result.
Childe looked very surprised, and raised his head proudly at Xiao Si beside him.
The smile of the rich man froze on his face, he was a little surprised by the result, and when he heard the whispers of the people around him, he was unhappy in his heart, and said coldly, "Let you win once, next time you won't have this good luck!" ā
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Gongzi push out the silver he had just won back with the night pearl chain jade pendant, raised his head and smiled, "Then come again!" ā
Where can the rich man allow people to make such a noise on his territory?! He clenched his fists and glared at the men beside him. Frightened, his subordinates immediately put the silver up.
Seeing this, Childe secretly raised the corners of his mouth, and then changed to a young and vigorous face, and there was no shrewdness on his face at all.
Qingying has been observing his every move on the side, and naturally he has not missed the instantaneous change in his demeanor, what a pig and a tiger! This guy obviously did it on purpose!
Their Lu family is also in the porcelain business, how could they not have heard of his name?
Lose first and win it back at one time, he is really as rumored, cunning like a fox, this habitual method is really tried and tested! After all, it is still the greed of human nature!
Qingying thought in his heart, and saw that a few more rounds had passed, and the rich man's side had not won a single game, and gradually became annoyed.
The fortune was completely deflected, or maybe it had never changed, but in an instant, all the money won by the rich man was spit back.
"How is that possible?!" The rich man shook his head in a trance, stunned, "I'm so lucky today, how can I lose?!" No way! We'll come again! ā
"Good! Come again! ā
Here, Childe is no longer the same as a fledgling rich young master who doesn't know anything about the world! He leaned slightly, leaning on the armrest with one hand and playing with the broken silver he had just won with the other. His eyes are full of composure, with the calmness of everything under control, he is obviously an old Jianghu!
He's going to make a move! Qingying sighed and looked at the rich man, if this guy is smart, stop it quickly, otherwise he may lose in the end! After all, this is this person's habitual, tried and tested routine.
"Master, we have no money!" The rich man's men whispered to him awkwardly.
The landlord was even more annoyed when he heard him say this, and shouted, "Lao Tzu is the biggest landlord in Eastern Xinjiang!" How can there be no money! ā
Qing Ying's eyes lit up when he saw this, and an evil thought flashed in his heart, there is such a profligate second ancestor coming to the door, and it is difficult to tolerate it if he is not killed! Thinking about it, he hurriedly raised his eyebrows at Amu.
Ah Mu smiled, put on a fake smile and stepped forward, came to the rich man and said, "Hey! Don't worry about Jiang Ye, don't worry if you don't bring enough silver, we can borrow it from the gambling house, and the interest will come according to the old rules, you should have heard of the rules that we often win, that is, only borrow once, I don't know how much Jiang Ye needs? ā
The rich man thought about it for a while, and then said, "Come on 10,000 taels!" ā
Amu smiled and shouted, "Come! Give Jiang Ye silver! ā
The silver taels of white flowers were brought up in the amazement of everyone, and Amu put away the IOU he had written, and stepped aside, no longer bothering.
Seeing this, Childe frowned slightly, glanced at Amu, but saw him come to Qingying's side and plead to her.
Qingying bowed his head, turned his head to meet the slightly meaningful eyes of the prince, and there seemed to be dissatisfaction in those eyes. She was slightly stunned, thinking in her heart, did she sabotage his plan?
Puzzled, he wrinkled his eyebrows, Qingying pursed the corners of his mouth, did he plan to directly bet on winning all the family property? Even if the casino is ruthless, that's a bit too much, right? She couldn't do it anyway.
Childe smiled lightly, but with a cold color in his eyes, he said softly, "Deal cards." ā
The gambling game was opened again, but the luck seemed to be gone, but after a few rounds, 10,000 taels of silver said no.
The rich man was really angry at this time, and he took the case, "No! Wrong! You must have cheated! ā
When the onlookers heard this, they looked at the way the rich man jumped to his feet, and their eyes were somewhat full of contempt and mockery. Those who can go up to the third floor are all frequent customers of this Changying Fang, all of whom are well-known figures in Dongjiang, and they have been in the casino for a long time.
Everyone can see that this unknown son is pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, but the fat pig still doesn't know yet, I really don't know if it's a pig brain in his head!
"Master Jiang, how can we say that Chang Yingfang is also the largest gambling house in Eastern Xinjiang, and we will never do such a dirty thing." The dealer said coldly.
"You guys! You ......" The rich man was unwilling, and there was no evidence to support his claim, so he was so angry that he didn't know what to say.
At this time, Childe stood up, "This ...... Jiang Ye. He said quietly, "If you feel unwilling, I can bet with you again!" This time, let's not play Pai Gow, just bet on the size, one person throws once, whoever is big wins. ā
When the rich man saw his arrogant and uninhibited appearance, he felt angry, "Okay! Bet on it! ā
"Master, we don't have any money." His subordinates couldn't help but remind him.
The rich man was about to speak, but he heard Gongzi take the first step and say, "I didn't have any money just now, did I?" With that, he glanced at the long box held by another subordinate behind the rich man.
Both his tone and his eyes were full of hints, and Qingying suddenly realized that his goal in the first place was for the contents of the box! What exactly?
The rich man had long been red-eyed, and he couldn't see the trap that he could see through at a glance, so he didn't think about it, so he turned around and snatched the wooden box from his subordinates, opened it, and threw it on the table without pity.
In the box was a "lapis lazuli stick", and everyone looked closely, only to find that it was actually a flute! A flute made of lapis lazuli!
"Xingyue Yaoguang!" It was not just someone among the onlookers who shouted, and the crowd immediately erupted into an uproar.
This star and moon Yaoguang is a famous weapon that everyone knows and everyone knows! At that time, it was not the Liuyu Dynasty that dominated the Central Plains, but the Jiuyuan of the previous dynasty.
The wife of the last king of Jiuyuan was named Yaoguang. Yaoguang was born extremely beautiful, his voice was beautiful and elegant, but it was a pity that he had a thin life since ancient times, and Yaoguang entered the palace to serve the king of Jiuyuan for only one year before he fell ill and died.
King Jiuyuan misses his wife, and he doesn't think about tea and dinner all day long. Until one day, the musician played a song to the King of Jiuyuan, and the music seemed to make him hear Yaoguang's voice.
The music is composed of five flutes of different materials, and the ensemble is called "Yaoguang Song" by later generations, and these five divine flutes are also called "Yaoguang Flute".
This "star-moon Yaoguang" is one of them.
Since then, the king of Jiuyuan has been obsessed with music, and finally the dynasty has collapsed, so some people call these five flutes - "Yaoguang of the Dead Country".
Of course, there is another theory, saying that these five flutes were actually sent by the founding emperor of Liuyu, and this is impossible to verify.
After the death of King Jiuyuan, these five flutes disappeared, but I didn't expect to appear here today!
Qingying raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and had a rough guess, she understood, what he wanted Yaoguang for. And an even more interesting plan popped up in her mind. Thinking about her, she turned her head and whispered a few words to Amu...... (To be continued.) )
