After Xiao Yao and Ren Yuanyuan discussed in detail how to plan and organize a wonderful poetry conference in the palace, and how to create an opportunity for Ren Yuanyuan to seduce Chen Shubao, the two stayed in the most luxurious attic of the general casino for most of the day, the sun had already set, and the lights had already started!

Xiao Yao and Ren Yuanyuan walked out of the attic, and both of them had smiles on their faces, which made everyone who had been waiting for them for almost a day look puzzled, after all, Xiao Yao walked into the attic with a solemn expression!

"Yo, you stinky pervert got out? Called Sister Yuanyuan into the attic alone, and stayed all day, what did you two do inside! Xu Miao was a little jealous and said unhappily.

"Haha, of course I did some secret things! And I'm sure you'll be blown away by the time! Xiao Yao smiled mysteriously.

"Hmph, as soon as you look at your evil smile, you know who you're calculating again!" Xu Miao rolled her eyes and said, the jealousy just now quickly disappeared, because she knew that Xiao Yao would not be interested in this bewitching Ren Yuanyuan, and the reason why she was a little unhappy just now was mainly because Xiao Yao didn't accompany her for a day!

At this time, Zu Yuan came up, pulled Xiao Yao aside, and then whispered in Xiao Yao's ear: "Young master, just now that Qi man named Du Youxin came to me again, saying that he wanted to ask the young master to play a game of cards with you tonight!" ”

"He's coming? Aren't you afraid that you will lose all your money to me, and you won't have the money to go back to Qi Kingdom? Xiao Yao smiled proudly.

In the past half a month, this self-proclaimed Du Youxin Qi people have spent a lot of money in the general casino, gambling wildly, not only becoming a VIP of the general casino, but also successfully attracting Xiao Yao's attention, and then becoming Xiao Yao's card friend, often asking Xiao Yao to play card stud together!

Of course, the result of these gambling games that Du Youxin was playing with Xiao Yao was to lose more and win less, and even said that he had never won! After all, all the project gameplay in this general casino is brought to this era by Xiao Yao from behind, and these novices who have only played for less than half a year are Xiao Yao, who often watches gambling movies, learned to play cards at the age of five, and was the opponent of the champion of online chess and card games that year!

However, this Qi man doesn't seem to care about winning or losing, even if he has lost thousands of taels of silver to Xiao Yao in the past half a month, he still flatters Xiao Yao with a smile, and his purpose is also very direct, that is, he hopes to deepen cooperation with General Firm!

Because he has proposed to Xiao Yao more than once, as long as Xiao Yao promises to make him the general agent of the General Firm's in Qi State, then he will send Xiao Yao a lot of silver in the form of a private gift, because these money are gifts to Xiao Yao, not the transaction money of the General Firm, so it will not be recorded in the account book of the General Firm, which means that the money does not need to be handed over to Chen Guo's treasury, but directly into Xiao Yao's own private pocket!

In addition, now Xiao Yao no longer has a military position and is no longer a public servant of the Chen Imperial Court, so even if other people know that he has received so much money, it is impossible to say that he is corrupt and bribe-taking, Xiao Yao can be fair and honest and accept this money as a matter of course!

However, in the face of this Du Youxin, who was so directly and obviously pleasing himself, Xiao Yao certainly had an extra heart, and had already asked Zu Yuan to investigate his detailed information, if nothing else, just because of his identity as a Qi countryman, it was enough to make Xiao Yao wary of him! 520

According to Zu Yuan's investigation results, this Du family belongs to a big chaebol in Qi State, and even has a little relationship with the Gao royal family, and the Du family has always had trade contacts with the General Firm, this middle-aged man named Du Youxin is a rich second generation in the Du family, even if the two countries are still at war now, the Du family still sent such an important son to Jinling, which shows how much the Du family attaches importance to the cooperation with the General Firm!

However, Xiao Yao's intuition is still very accurate, because in fact, this Qi native named Du Youxin is Wei Xiangyuan lurking in Jinling City! Of course, in order to cover his actions in Jinling City, the real Du Youxin was actually among the Qi State caravan that came to Jinling this time, but he and Wei Xiangyuan switched identities, which played a mixed effect!

Since the last time Chen Shubao asked Wei Xiangyuan for their help in assassinating Xiao Yao, Wei Xiangyuan wanted to get more information about Chen Guo's Northern Expedition in exchange for Chen Shubao's hands, and he himself wanted to kill Xiao Yao as a soldier of Qi and avenge those Qi soldiers who were ruthlessly shot by Xiao Yao on the battlefield, so he agreed to Chen Shubao's request and began to plan to assassinate Xiao Yao!

Therefore, the first step of this assassination and assassination operation is to get closer to Xiao Yao, and then assassinate him by surprise when Xiao Yao lets down his guard against them!

Because in Zu Yuan's intelligence, there is indeed such a person named Du Youxin in this caravan from Qi to Jinling City, so even if Xiao Yao still has some doubts in his heart, he still believes this Du Youxin's words for the time being, although he has not yet agreed to his request to be the general agent of Qi State, but for the sake of him to send a large amount of silver into his pocket, Xiao Yao still often plays a few games with this Du Youxin, and has drunk a few flower wines, which can be regarded as a reward for this big money owner!

"This Du family is also a big family in Qi State, and some people in the family are also married to the Gao royal family, plus they do not participate in the court party struggle, and they are very open among the various forces in Qi State, so he is so arrogant, he wants to find the young master to play cards every day, and the money he loses is actually a meeting gift for the young master!" Zu Yuan also said with a wicked smile.

After all, these thousands of taels of silver won back from the gambling table now, but their own money, even if Chen Xu knew about it, could not ask for these money to be handed over to the state treasury like the money of other general commercial banks!

"Okay! They want to send me money to spend, so I can't help it! Although this guy named Du Youxin, I always felt that he approached me so obviously and deliberately, there must be other purposes, but this is a general casino, and it is also Jinling, the capital of Chen State, even if he wants to kill me, it is impossible! Xiao Yao said with a sneer.

"If this Qi country is really bold and dares to be unfavorable to the young master on our territory, then I will send more people into the casino to keep an eye on them at all times, as long as they have the slightest trouble, we will chop them into pulp!" When Zu Yuan heard that these Qi people dared to be unfavorable to Xiao Yao, he immediately showed a fierce light in his eyes and said fiercely.

"That's not necessary! Now that we have no evidence for them, we have such a big reaction, which may startle the snake, but will scare them into not daring to make a move! Therefore, we should stay put, or even follow their pace, so as to lure out their conspiracy! Xiao Yao shook his head and said.

"What does the young master mean that you want to use yourself as bait? No way! It's too risky! If they really want to be unfavorable to you here in Jinling City, then they can only choose to assassinate, as the so-called open knife is easy to block, hidden arrow is difficult to prevent, if they use any more despicable and dirty means, then we will suffer a big loss! Zu Yuan said nervously.

"Don't worry, do you think I'm going to be a person who took the initiative to send me to death?" Xiao Yao touched the pistol on his waist, and then continued to smile and said: "And these are just our suspicions, and there is no real evidence, maybe this Qi country is really a stupid and rich loser, and now he really wants to please me, and he is changing his methods to send me money to spend!" Therefore, tonight I still have to meet this second generation of Qi Guofu! ”

"Since the young master is so confident, then I won't say anything more!" Zu Yuan had absolute trust and obedience to Xiao Yao, and then said with a sneer: "But I still have to beware of them, it's not easy to say in the entire Jinling City, but in this general casino, if I want to even let them go to the toilet, I have to send someone to watch!" ”
