Chapter 345: Gambling
At night, but in the current northern frontier, it is not like the weather at night, and the sky is like an extremely large and empty Milky Way, but it is more flickering than the bright sun in the daytime.
Lu Jue and Mu Bai simply ate some together, after all, Mu Bai's identity is still a little special, and Mu Bai himself has no cultivation, so he and Lu Jue live together temporarily.
Of course, Mu Bai's gender is female, and it is also a secret in the army, in order to protect this secret, Lu Jue and Mu Bai are separated by a few meters from each other every night.
Fortunately, the tent was wide enough, otherwise Lu Jue felt that he might have to sleep in the cold wind outside.
After finishing dinner, Lu Jue picked up the dark green cloak on the side and put it on directly, and suddenly his whole body was shrouded in this dark green cloak, and he couldn't see his identity at all.
This cloak was sent by Mu Bai in the afternoon, and it was purchased from those Jianghu sects.
After all, people in the rivers and lakes may not matter, but there are still some people in the army who are slightly higher in official positions who want to relax their luck, but it is not very convenient.
So this dark green cloak has become a particularly prosperous business on the Northern Expedition.
Outside the tent, the soldiers had been waiting for a long time.
Lu Jue and Mu Bai followed behind the soldiers in dark green cloaks, and came all the way to the place where the Jianghu Gate was stationed.
As soon as they walked into the range where the people from the rivers and lakes were stationed, Lu Jue and Mu Bai had already heard all kinds of shouts not far away, including all kinds of cursing, laughter, and so lively.
After bypassing a few tents, seven or eight tables made of supply boxes were crowded with no place to stay.
"Looks like we're late."
Lu Jue was not half angry at the moment, but there was a hint of self-deprecation in his tone.
Mu Bai, who was very behind Lu Jue, echoed casually: "Indeed, we two gamblers are not dedicated at all." ”
Although Xiao Bing heard Mu Bai's words, he also wanted to laugh, but he still didn't dare to make a sound, after all, Lu Jue's identity was extremely constrained in his opinion.
"What about the young general, I didn't expect that under your governance, these people in the rivers and lakes will live even more chic and happy than when they were in the hinterland of the Ye Dynasty."
Mu Bai's voice was a little low at the moment, naturally she used a unique means to change her voice, but Lu Jue could only deliberately lower her voice, and at the same time used the energy in her body to slowly compress her throat and change her voice to reply:
"Yes, our soldiers are dying in front, and now it is even more difficult to distinguish day and night, and when they are in pain, these people in the rivers and lakes are happy and relaxed."
After all, the army has military rules, but these people do not.
One by one, they captured the five cities in the northeast earlier, and it can be said that they all made a lot of money, and they would not follow the march on foot for a long time, and each sect except for some of the lowest disciples, they had already taken care of the group of carriages, and they were very comfortable.
"Hey, hey, two, are you late, I have two brothers over there, and I can just make a place for the two officials, how about it, do you want to think about it?"
Just as Lu Jue and Mu Bai were talking, a person suddenly walked on the side, and the strength of the thief's eyebrows and rat eyes reminded Lu Jue of the scene when he went to the Caomu Hall, and he couldn't help but feel funny in his heart.
It seems that in this environment, there will always be such characters.
Seeing that Lu Jue didn't make a sound, the little soldier on the side hurriedly approached Lu Jue and Mu Bai and explained softly:
"This person is the head of the Green Snake Gang's Money Hall, and I don't know his name, but those people call him Rattlesnake."
It turned out that Xiao Bing thought that Lu Jue and Mu Bai didn't know what each other meant, so they hurriedly explained.
"By the way, the thing he said about this position is to spend money to buy a position."
Just as Lu Jue was looking at the rattlesnake in front of him, his eyes were cloudy, and he was also looking at the three people in front of him.
Although Lu Jue and Mu Bai were both wearing dark green cloaks and wrapped their whole bodies, how could the rattlesnake, who had been crawling in the rivers and lakes since childhood, not know how to read people?
The three people in front of him, obviously that little soldier is just a small character who is not in the stream, which is why he directly said two positions instead of three.
In the eyes of the rattlesnake, Lu Jue and Mu Bai in front of them must be big names in the army, at least they are also three-grade existences such as commanders, otherwise they would not dare to show their faces so much.
Thinking of this, the rattlesnake's cold eyes showed a greedy look.
"How much?"
Mu Bai asked directly, and the rattlesnake saw Mu Bai speaking slightly behind, and confirmed his guess in his heart.
It turned out to be a few white chopped chickens.
The corners of the rattlesnake's mouth hooked up a lewd smile, and at the same time, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
This is the general name of their Green Snake Gang for the kind of high-ranking officials, wealthy businessmen, but people who come to gamble for the first time.
"Fifty taels per person."
The rattlesnake's eyes flickered, and five blackened fingers were born, but they shook in front of Lu Jue.
That's right, in his opinion, Lu Jue is the biggest official among the three, after all, he is also a rattlesnake born as a grandmaster, so he naturally feels that among the three, that little soldier is not in his eyes at all.
Mu Bai didn't know martial arts, but Lu Jue gave him a feeling that he couldn't see through.
After all, in this world, the sage is not more than a child.
Therefore, the rattlesnake determined that Lu Jue was a certain official in the Northern Expedition.
After all, to be able to have grandmaster-level abilities, it is at least a third-grade existence in the army.
"Fifty taels!"
The little soldier suddenly screamed, these fifty taels are more than ten years of military salary for a small soldier for him.
Just when the little soldier was amazed, when he wanted to open his mouth to bargain with the rattlesnake, Lu Jue in front of him only nodded slightly, and then Mu Bai behind him flicked his long sleeves very simply, and a hundred taels of silver fell into the arms of the rattlesnake.
"Hey, hey, the two officials are happy, boy, see clearly, I can ask for a hundred taels from the two masters, naturally there is a reason for a hundred taels."
The rattlesnake's eyes flickered with cold light, and he glared threateningly at the stunned soldiers on the side, and at the same time a smug smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Where did the little soldier dare to speak again, after all, the other party was a grandmaster-level existence.
If you put down the rivers and lakes outside, you are also a master, and you can slaughter a village where the soldiers live.
Fang dared to speak, but it was also because he thanked Lu Jue for his kindness in making decisions for himself that day, and he was just stubborn.
When Xiao Bing Nuo Nuo, he suddenly felt a gentle pat on his shoulder, and when he looked back, he realized that it was Lu Jue's hand.
"It's fine."
