Chapter 9: Return to Tiannan

After the battle of Qi and Chu, the Qi State unified the north and south, the territory was vast, in order to facilitate management, the mainland was divided into six hundred and thirteen states in the south and north, and each state appointed the assassin Shi to take charge of the military and government, and the counties were set up under the state to be in charge of various places.

Now, ten years later, the world is stable, the people have enough food and clothing, bandits are not prosperous, and there are more merchants who travel from south to north.

Due to the large number of officials and businessmen who fled back then, Tiannan City gradually settled down here and became more and more prosperous. Today, it is the capital of Tiannan Prefecture.

On this day, it was early spring, and the weather was also fine, and on the window seat on the second floor of the Drunken Immortal Building in the city, a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old was sitting alone, but he was dressed in green clothes, with sword eyebrows, although he was not handsome and extraordinary, but he was also heroic.

If it weren't for an old long sword on his side, I'm afraid it would make people think that he was a young and golden young knight.

This is exactly what Yi Cheng left Qingshan Town a few days ago. Looking at the spring outside the window, Yi Cheng did not have a trace of joy in his heart.

I wanted to come to Tiannan City to find Jia Liu's revenge, and inquire about the whereabouts of my younger siblings, but who knew that I found the manor of the year, which had long been deserted, and after several twists and turns, I found the official who handled the case back then, and smashed it down with dozens of taels of silver, and the official said the whole story of the matter like pouring beans.

On that day, a report was received, and the government sent someone to see the scene, but the family only knew that Jia Liu said that the Liu family had killed Master Zhu, and the Liu family escaped, and he did not know where to go, and there was nowhere to arrest him.

Jia Liu also left Tiannan City overnight for fear of being implicated, because the case was shelved when the army was in chaos, and later the Chu State was destroyed, and no one cared about the case anymore.

The official said a piece of news later, when Jia Liu was in Tiannan City before, he often went to Xinglong Casino to gamble money, because of his slippery mouth, he came and went, and he was familiar with Mo Batian, the owner of the gambling house, maybe he could find out about Jia Liu's news from Na Mo Batian's mouth.

So Yi Cheng decided to go to Xinglong Casino tonight.

As the capital of a state, Tiannan City has a population of no less than one million, if it is said that it is a restaurant and a tea shop that is lively during the day, then it is a gambling house and a green building that is busy at night.

When Yi Cheng came to the Xinglong gambling house, it was already night, and the gambling house was full of shouts, pushing pai gow, throwing dice, betting on the size of the game, all of them were red-faced, some were smiling when they won money, and some were complaining when they lost money.

Around the casino, more than a dozen big men with big shoulders and round waists stood there bare-chested, intimidating those who were stealing and tricking and thinking of a thousand people.

Yi Cheng didn't go directly to Mo Batian, he didn't think that Mo Batian would honestly answer his question as an alien boy, although he had martial arts cultivation, he still understood the truth that a strong dragon did not suppress the head snake.

After watching quietly for a long time, Yi Cheng came to the table of gambling size and took out an ingot of ten taels of silver and pressed it on the small characters.

The size of the bet is very simple, the dealer shakes the dice, the gambler bets to buy big buy small, the three dice together suit greater than nine points for the large, otherwise small, bet on the double, bet on the wrong dealer to win.

Yi Cheng had seen his disciples play in the Qingshan Sect before, and the young man's heart couldn't help but play a few games, and he also studied the dice, but today it came in handy.

Three Yi Cheng won in a row, each time the winning silver was all bet, and after two more, the gamblers on the table also noticed Yi Cheng, and they all followed him to bet, the dealer saw that his head was sweating, and secretly called a big man to give a few words, and the big man turned around and walked towards the back hall.

After a while, the big man followed a sturdy middle-aged man to the table.

At this time, Yi Cheng had won ten games in a row, and more than 5,000 taels of silver had been pushed in front of him, and it was directly pressed on the small characters, and the dealer's hand was already trembling, and he didn't dare to open it.

The other gamblers were reluctant and shouted: "Open, open, open"

Yi Cheng glanced at the middle-aged strong man and said, "It's not that this Xinglong gambling house can't afford to lose, if that's the case, let's stop here today." As he spoke, he took the money and left.

At this time, the middle-aged strong man stepped forward and said: "Slow, this friend, please sit down, in Xia Mobatian, is the owner of this casino, my Xinglong gambling house dares to open the door to do business, it will naturally lose, I will open!" ”

As he spoke, he reached for the dice. The reason why Yi Cheng wins every time is naturally not lucky, but the sound of using internal force to catch the sieve when it stops, the dice are different in terms of points, and the sound when they fall is also slightly different, but it is naturally very clear in the ears of a master like Yi Cheng.

This Mo Batian naturally understood in his heart that he also had martial artist cultivation, otherwise he would not be able to support this huge gambling house in Tiannan City.

He also wanted to open it himself, and turn the dice with a little internal force when he wanted to open it. Seeing this, Yi Cheng didn't stop him, sat at the table with his hands on the table, and waited for him to open it. Mo Batian quietly exerted force in his hand, and then lifted the lid.

Then his pupils shrank, looked at Yi Cheng, and then at the dice on the table, and said, "Two, two, three, seven o'clock small." This son, you won, just bring a group of brothers to eat, and ask the son to raise his noble hand, that's all for today, another day to set up a banquet to apologize to the son, I don't know what you think? ”

Yi Cheng saw that he was no longer acting, and said: "Boss Mo is polite, I am only here to ask Boss Mo about someone, it was just a joke just now, Boss Mo don't take it to heart." ”

"Oh, Childe, please speak in the inner hall." When Mo Batian heard this, he knew that this young man was not here to find trouble for himself, so he felt a little more at ease, and wondered where this young master came from, he had martial arts cultivation at a young age.

After entering the inner hall, Mo Ba Tianren served Yi Cheng hot tea and asked: "I don't know the name of Gongzi Gao, who is the person you are looking for just now?" ”

Yi Chengdao: "In Xia Xiao Yi, I don't know if Boss Mo knows Jia Liu?" ”

"Jia Liu, Jia Liu, oh, I remember, this kid left Tiannan City ten years ago because he was involved in a personal life lawsuit, and he has long since disappeared. I don't know what Xiao Gongzi is looking for him, if he can do it for him, he won't have to bother looking for him. Seeing that Xiao Yi had such a cultivation at a young age, Mo Batian had such a cultivation and had a good heart, so he said.

Yi Cheng listened to what he said, as if he didn't know where Jia Liu went, and said disappointedly: "I was looking for that Jia Liu, but I was entrusted by someone, and others were afraid that they would not be able to do it for him." ”

Mo Batian heard this: "I see, if Xiao Gongzi is not in a hurry, he might as well stay in Nancheng for a few days, then Jia Liu knows a lot of people in Nancheng this day, and I also know a few people in this city. ”

Yi Cheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "There is such a boss of Lao Mo, Xiao Yi has written down today's feelings, and if it is useful to Xiao in the future, he should do his best." ”

Mo Batian said with a smile: "Rely on my parents at home, rely on my friends when I go out, I can do something in Tiannan City, I can do a little bit of my ability, Brother Xiao is a young hero, and he will be famous in the future, it is my honor to help you, as the saying goes, all brothers in the four seas, if you don't dislike my low martial arts, how about we be brothers?" ”

"That's very good, Brother Mo, little brother has thanked you in advance."

The two talked for a long time, Yi Cheng said goodbye and left, only saying that there was news to send someone to Zuixianlou to find him!
