Chapter 514: The Gambler
Lu Chen thought that Li Zhao would flee to Qingguo with the prince of Yanguo, his guess was not wrong, Qingguo had already received the news at this time.
The importance of the crown prince of Yan represents that Qingwang is very clear, and the demise of Yan is obviously not good news for Qingguo.
If Prince Yan succeeds in reaching Qingdi, then the Qingwang can completely support him to become the new Yan King, which has a great effect on the balance of the Wind Country, so the Qingwang directly invested in blood and sent a large number of Qingwei Camp masters to respond.
He sent people to respond, and Lu Chen's side even ordered to block the main roads leading to Qingdi, and issued a portrait of Li Zhao and a four- or five-year-old child, and sent a large number of elite masters to chase and kill along the way.
In the portrait, Li Zhao is a man about 50 years old, with a beard, excellent maintenance, and a well-mannered appearance. But in order to avoid being pursued, he obviously disguises himself.
In a border town, in an ordinary noodle restaurant.
An unkempt old man led a boy of four or five years old.
The old man was dressed in patches, like a hunchback, hunched over, holding a bamboo pole in his right hand, and holding the little boy's hand in his left hand. Hurry up and ......."
Without waiting for the old man to speak, the little boy had already stretched out his hand to point at the shopkeeper, and shouted crisply: "You shopkeeper, you are so rude!" We are also guests here, why turn away guests! β
"Yo he!" The shopkeeper probably never thought that the doll in front of him, who looked like a little beggar, could say this, and he couldn't help but look at the little boy a few more times.
I saw that the little baby was dressed in coarse linen, dirty, although he was holding the corner of the old man's clothes with his hands, but his face did not have the fear and timidity of ordinary children, but there was an indescribable arrogance.
"I didn't expect your little Hanako to look quite smart."
As the shopkeeper spoke, he was about to reach out and touch the little boy's head, but as soon as his hand stretched out, the little boy suddenly glared at him and said, "Presumptuous!" β
"Yo!" Hearing this, the shopkeeper was immediately happy, and the old man hurriedly grabbed the little boy, nodded at the shopkeeper and smiled: "The child is not sensible, the shopkeeper forgive me, forgive me......"
"It's still presumptuous!" The shopkeeper sneered and said, "I said that you grandparents and grandchildren want to eat and go elsewhere, don't leave me here to delay business, hurry up!" β
As he spoke, he began to wave the old man out again and again.
The little boy seemed to be very angry, and said angrily: "The dog's eyes look at what is low to people! Isn't it just asking for money! Grandpa, I'll give him the jade pendant ......"
Before he finished his words, the old man covered his mouth all of a sudden, and at the same time, the shopkeeper plucked out his ears and said, "What? What's that? Jade pendant? As far as your grandparents and grandchildren can also have jade pendants? β
"Huh...... The child has just entered the city, he has never seen the world, and he is used to lying......" The old man spoke, and quickly took out a few copper plates from his arms and handed them to the shopkeeper, saying, "Do you think these are enough for two bowls of noodles?" β
The shopkeeper checked a few copper plates in his hand and said, "If you have the money, take it out early, two bowls of clear soup noodles, wait......"
He obviously didn't take the little boy's words to heart, but a man with a sharp beak and roe head in the store was moved, and he couldn't help but look at the old man and the little boy a few more times.
The two bowls of somen noodles were quickly served, and the old man began to pick the green leafy vegetables in his bowl one by one into the little boy's bowl.
The little boy sat on the bench, his head just a little above the table, he looked at the plain noodles in front of him, and said angrily with his hands around his chest, "I want to eat meat." β
The old man sighed secretly, then kindly touched the little boy's head, and said, "Eat quickly, talk less, be good." β
"I can buy all his noodle restaurants, why can't I eat meat." The little boy muttered discontentedly.
"Shh The old man was startled and hurriedly told the boy to shut up, while subconsciously looking around.
After the two finished eating the noodles, the old man took the little boy and walked out of the noodle restaurant with a bamboo pole, but just when the two of them went out of the door, a man suddenly accidentally bumped into the old man, and almost tripped the little boy to the ground.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm in a bit of a hurry, are you okay?" As the man spoke, he lowered the little boy he was holding to the ground.
"Ah, it's okay, it's okay." The old man hurriedly said, and at the same time cautiously pulled the little boy behind him, as if he was guarding against something.
The man didn't care, glanced at the little boy, and said, "This child is really good-looking, it's a pity......"
Hearing this, the old man hurriedly nodded at the man, then picked up the little boy and left.
After he left, the man threw away the jade pendant in his hand and chuckled, "It's done!" β
Obviously, this is a thief, and he has been paying attention to this 'grandfather and grandson' in the noodle shop for a long time.
Chase Casino.
"Bite it! Bite it! Bite itβ"
A young man in ordinary clothes stared at the table with his eyes fixed on it, his face flushed and roared. On the table, there is a wooden box with two crickets fighting each other.
In a short time, the scene was already clear, one of them was bitten and fell to the ground, and after a few movements, there was no movement on the spot, and at the same time, someone immediately sang: "Qingbei wins-"
"Good kill! It's a good killβ"
"Haha! Won againβ"
"I said that this 'green back' is more fierce, and that's right, haha-"
Many of the onlookers at the table began to cheer, but the roaring young man slapped the table angrily and scolded: "! What the are they called! Didn't win money or what!? β
The young man seems to be an old customer of the casino, and these gamblers also seem to be very afraid of him, seeing that he lost money and was furious, people hurriedly put away the broken silver they won, and a few people around the young man subconsciously rubbed a few steps to the side, looking like a chilling cicada, and the scene of chaos just now was quiet in an instant.
"Huh...... I'm sorry, Master Wei, I've made you quite troubled again. The dealer of the casino brought a small pile of broken silver in front of the young man.
"! Again! The young man glared at him viciously: "Lend me another fifty taels of silver!" β
"This ......" The person in the casino hesitated, and then smiled and said: "Master Wei, you already owe two hundred taels, and if you borrow it again, it will be uncompliant......
"Fuck! Are you afraid that Lao Tzu can't afford it!? The youth was furious.
"Master Wei, aren't you embarrassed villain......
"Can I borrow this!?" As he spoke, the young man took out a token from his arms and slapped it on the table!
