Chapter 9: Bet on you for a kiss
When the cold wind does not decrease, there are three or two finches. In the suburbs, Huang Gai and Liu Yi escorted Chu Xiaofeng back to the thatched house on the bank of the Xianghe River one after the other, looking at Chu Xiaofeng who walked in front and walked dignifiedly, Liu Yi's eyes flashed with resentment, from the bottom of his heart he was 10,000 unwilling to do this, thinking that he and Uncle Huang had served tea and wine all night last night, Liu Yi was even more indignant, how could a mere pariah be so valued by Mr. Li, it was really shit luck!
"I know you're upset, but you have to understand, if it weren't for Mr. Li's face, I wouldn't have spared you easily!" Chu Xiaofeng suddenly paused, turned around and said coldly. As an official, he is unforgivable when he sees wealth!
Chu Xiaofeng's sudden action frightened Liu Yi, he was scolding Chu Xiaofeng in his heart, but he didn't expect to be recognized by the other party, and his face was flushed for a while.
"Childe laughed, we were wrong first, thank you Childe for being magnanimous." Seeing Liu Yi's fierce eyes, Huang Gai hurriedly walked over and said with a smile. Thinking about Mr. Li's advice last night, he understood that the person in front of him was definitely not a thing in the pool, and Liu Yi must not be allowed to offend this person again.
"Humph! Just a pariah, I've had enough, sir! Liu Yi was angry when he heard Huang Gai's words, thinking that he Liu Yi would be a state capital to catch quickly, and who would not shout Liu Ye when he walked to the street. If it weren't for Mr. Li's presence last night, he would have taught the ugly ghost in front of him a lesson, obviously he was an ordinary civilian, why did Uncle Huang and Mr. Li respect him so much.
With a crisp sound of "pop", Liu Yi looked at Huang Gai who was glaring angrily in disbelief, and the hot pain in his cheek made him clearly know that Huang Gai had given him a slap, but why was this?
"Let's go, the state capital is too small to accommodate your big Buddha, Brother Liu, I will go and say it in person." Huang Gai turned around and said lightly.
"What? Uncle Huang, are you driving me away? Liu Yi looked at Huang Gai in front of him in disbelief, his father Liu Xuande is his worshipper brother, and he has followed him to practice martial arts since he was a child, the two are like father and son, and today they actually drove themselves away for a pariah! Why is that?
"Hahaha good! I'm leaving! Liu Yi saw that Huang Gai was no longer speechless, and turned around and left.
"Don't blame the son, this Liu Yi is young and vigorous, he was spoiled by me and his father, and he lost his manners." Seeing that Liu Yi had already walked away, Huang Gai sighed, saluted Chu Xiaofeng, and said respectfully.
"Forget it, now I don't have the leisure to make another incident, let's go." Chu Xiaofeng glanced at Huang Gai with satisfaction, this person has very little view of people, acts cautiously, is a material that can be made, and in time he will definitely become a capable member of his subordinates.
"How many years has Huang Zhu been in Qinghe Town?" Since he intended to include him under his command, Chu Xiaofeng began to inquire about Huang Gai's origin.
"Back to the son's words, the villain has lived in Qinghe Town since he was a child, his father was a general in the court, died in the war, and has been dependent on his mother for his life, and at the age of fifteen, he became the catcher of the state capital, and it has been thirteen years in the blink of an eye." Huang Gai said softly, but he unconsciously remembered Liu Xuande, if it weren't for Brother Liu, he would have frozen to death on the street.
"Hey, life is short and time is limited, is Huang Yu willing to lie in this small Qinghe Town for the rest of his life?" Chu Xiaofeng sighed casually.
"Since my father's death, my mother has made me swear that I will never covet high-ranking officials in this life, and peace is a blessing." Huang Gai laughed self-deprecatingly, and asked that man who was willing to be mediocre for a lifetime.
"Huh? Your mother really has the sage of Meng's mother and the ambition of her mother-in-law. Hahaha" Chu Xiaofeng laughed when he heard this, he compared the allusion of Meng's mother's three moves and his mother-in-law's tattoo, and his face was flushed with shame.
The two chatted all the way, and soon came to the bank of the Xianghe River, Chu Xiaofeng saw the poison doctor sitting alone in front of the grass hut in a daze, and said in his heart: What's wrong with this dead old man? Was the daughter-in-law robbed or died?
Chu Xiaofeng and Huang Gai walked closer, and found that the poison doctor's eyes were gloomy, with hidden tears, and he sat motionless on the ground, as if he had just been raped.
"Hey, old man, what's wrong with you?" Chu Xiaofeng patted the poison doctor on the shoulder and asked in a low voice.
"It's gone, it's nothing," the poison doctor raised Mu Ne's eyes and looked at Chu Xiaofeng, and said in a choked voice.
"Gone? What's missing? Is it your discipline? Chu Xiaofeng pursed his lips and turned around and entered the house. The next moment, he was stunned, and saw that there was nothing in the house except the grass walls on all four sides, and the ground was as smooth as a mirror as if it had been scraped. He hurriedly ran into the thatched hut on the far left, and sure enough, there was nothing, Xiao Xiao was gone!
"Old man! What about my friend? Chu Xiaofeng walked outside the house in a few steps, and asked as soon as he lifted the poison doctor.
"It's all taken away by Guo Dangjia" was mentioned by Chu Xiaofeng, the poison doctor relieved himself a little, hugged Chu Xiaofeng and cried bitterly, making the corners of Huang Gai's eyes tremble and twitch all over.
"Guo Dangjia? That thug! Chu Xiaofeng suddenly remembered that the poison doctor still owed that woman silver. Pushing the poison doctor away, he continued to ask, "Where is that woman now?" ”
"She is the big boss of the Fushou Gambling House, and the Fushou Gambling House is in Qinghe Town." The poison doctor Chu Chu looked at Chu Xiaofeng pitifully and said cautiously. He didn't dare to say that he still owed the woman eight hundred taels of silver, and he didn't dare to say it, he lied that Xiao Xiao was his son and mortgaged him to Fushou Gambling House.
"Fushou Casino? Walk! Go ask for someone with me! Chu Xiaofeng ignored the poisonous doctor's pleading, lifted him up again, turned around and left. Xiao Xiao was seriously injured, how could he withstand such a toss.
"Childe, wait!" Huang Gai grabbed Chu Xiaofeng and said with a frown.
"Huang catches quickly, what's wrong?" Chu Xiaofeng knew that Huang Gai was not reckless, so he couldn't help frowning.
"Childe, don't go to the trouble of Fushou Gambling House." Huang Gai hesitated for a moment and said softly.
Why is that? Just a gambling house makes you so jealous, could it be that the fierce girl surnamed Guo is really good, her hands and eyes are all over the sky! Chu Xiaofeng saw that worry flashed in Huang Gai's eyes, and he was puzzled in his heart.
"Fushou Gambling House may not be nothing, but Guo Ziyi, the owner behind it, is the Zhenshan Marquis of our Great Zhou, and his status is so high that there are only a handful!" Huang Gai approached Chu Xiaofeng and said in a low voice. This is a secret unknown to the world, and if he hadn't been in Qinghe Town long enough, I'm afraid he wouldn't have known it.
"Huh? Zhenshan Hou? As far as I know, there are three Hou Ye in our Great Zhou, one is Guan Xu, Hou of Wujiang, the second is Wu Shixiong, Hou of Pingxi, and the third is Tang Wannian, Hou of Jinyu. Chu Xiaofeng said suspiciously, he is the third prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, how can he not know these figures at the peak of power.
"Childe is right, but this town does exist. In the eighth year of Zhenwu, His Majesty drove the expedition to Tu Yu, and was once besieged by the Tu general Ha Shiqi, the two sides clashed repeatedly, and our side gradually lost support because of being far away from the camp, at the critical moment, Guo Ziyi, who was still a mountain bandit at that time, happened to pass by the battlefield and led the centennial team to miraculously turn the tide of the battle and make great contributions. His Majesty thanked him for saving his life, so he named him the Marquis of Zhenshan, but this person did not like to live in the court, so he was specially allowed to stay in the people. Huang Gai's eyes were deep, as if he was recalling those eventful years, his father also died in that war, if it weren't for the arrogance of His Majesty the Emperor, how could he fall for Ha Shiqi's trick to lure the enemy deeper.
"Eight years of Zhenwu" Chu Xiaofeng muttered, if it weren't for his father's insistence on driving the expedition that year, how could his mother be seriously injured, and how could he die in childbirth when he was born.
"Childe, why don't we go and consult Mr. Li, and then think about it in the long run." Seeing that Chu Xiaofeng bowed his head and was silent, as if he was thinking, Huang Gai said softly.
"No need, Huang Zhukuai is willing to meet this Fushou Gambling House with me for a while!" Chu Xiaofeng suddenly raised his head, a wisp of inexplicable excitement shot out of his eyes, and said lightly.
"I do!" Huang Gai clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said. In fact, he really didn't want to touch the mold of Fushou Gambling House, I remember that three years ago, the nephew of the prefect had just arrived in Qinghe Town to take office, and he wanted to blackmail the Fushou Gambling House with an official uniform, but he was beaten to a lifelong cripple, and the prefect didn't even dare to let go of a fart, and personally brought a generous gift to apologize. Afterwards, all the officials who came to Qinghe Town to take office would be taught one thing first, that is, never to provoke the Fushou Gambling House.
Located in the middle of the most prosperous street in Qinghe Town, Fushou Gambling House is a five-story mansion with opulent interior and lavish decoration, which is at least three times larger than the prefect's yamen. Every day, the crowd is endless, a large number of gamblers and countless people of all colors come in and out, and it is very lively.
As soon as he walked in, Chu Xiaofeng felt a burst of refreshment, originally thought that this place was mixed with fish and dragons, and it must be a miasma, but he didn't expect that there was a faint fragrance into his nostrils, like a beautiful woman in front of him, which made people yearn for it.
"How's it going to be here?" Huang Gai asked with a smile when he saw Chu Xiaofeng's reaction.
"The breeze here is flowing, warm and pleasant, and there is a special aroma in the nose, which is comparable to the most luxurious inn, which is really good." Chu Xiaofeng glanced at the poison doctor beside him who was looking at Pai Gow, and said secretly: It's really dead!
"Guo is in charge! Hand over my friend! Chu Xiaofeng looked around, but did not find the shadow of the fierce girl, and suddenly a loud roar resounded throughout the Fushou Gambling House, Huang Gai was so frightened that his legs and feet were weak, and he almost fell down, but the poison doctor stumbled and threw himself directly on the ground, motionless.
With Chu Xiaofeng's loud roar, the originally noisy crowd fell silent instantly, and a depressing silence was weirdly suffocating, everyone stopped their movements, and looked at the ugly monster in front of them in a daze, what is he going to do? Don't you want to live?
"Who should I be, it turns out to be you ugly ghost! The old lady didn't ask you to settle the account, but you sent it to the door! With the sound of gentle footsteps coming from the stairs on the second floor, a woman in black with a beautiful face and a graceful posture slowly walked down.
"Guo Dangjia, may I ask where my friend offended you, you actually forcibly took him away!" Chu Xiaofeng ignored the stunned eyes around him and asked coldly.
"Your friend? Well, isn't it the son of a poisonous old man? The girl walked up to Chu Xiaofeng and said jokingly. She had long known that the man was not the son of the poison doctor at all, this person had a cold and arrogant temperament, and he was full of a terrifying killing aura, even if he was seriously injured and unconscious, he still gave people a sense of danger, how could it be the son of the obscene old man.
"Make your terms!" Glaring fiercely at the poison doctor who was lying motionless on the ground, Chu Xiaofeng sighed in his heart, it seemed that this matter would take a lot of trouble.
"Bet with me." The girl said with a smile, but her eyes were extremely angry. When did she Guo Qingzheng be forcibly kissed, it's just a forced kiss, it's okay if you're a handsome guy! It's an ugly monster! She really can't swallow this breath, and she must make the ugly ghost in front of her pay a painful price!
"What about gambling money?" Chu Xiaofeng fortunately sat on a chair next to him and said with interest.
"If you lose, you will be sold into slavery and obey me for the rest of your life!" Guo Qingzheng said coldly, his eyes stared straight at Chu Xiaofeng, Huang Gai wanted to step forward to play a round, but Guo Qingzheng was glared at, and he was immediately frightened and retreated, hiding in the crowd, as if to say, he has nothing to do with me, we are not very familiar with each other.
"Hahaha, what about you lost?" Chu Xiaofeng suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, and also looked at Guo Qingzheng.
"Leave it to your disposal!" Guo Qingzheng casually pulled over a chair and said lightly.
"Good! If you lose, kiss me again in public! Chu Xiaofeng's voice changed sharply, revealing a sly smile, but when reflected on his pockmarked face, it looked terrifying.
