Chapter Twenty-Three: Return to Bianjing

Yanzhou has a big style these days, and the yellow sand is all over the sky, whether it is in the air or on the ground, it seems to be dressed in a golden gauze.

Because of the yellow sand, his vision deteriorated, and he was almost hit by a carriage on the way.

But this kind of weather makes me feel extraordinarily surging, not to mention that I want to comment on the scenery of this Xinjiang, but there is nowhere to sway the blood here.

When I arrived at the inn, I didn't even know what was happening, and after a series of explanations from my eldest brother, it turned out that the inn had burned down.

I was a little worried, and immediately ran to the innermost part of the second floor to take a look, but as I expected, the Deserted City Sword was really still there.

I quickly wrapped the sword around my back with a cloth.

The surrounding wood has been burned to black ash, and even if you touch it lightly, your hand will sink into this black ash, and when you take it out, the black ash will be scattered.

After I sorted out all the things, handed over the horse bolt to the second brother, and then went to the Yan Tower agreed with the eldest brother. Yanlou is the same as before, it is the place with the most people in the whole Yanzhou City, I didn't know much about it at the time, after the eldest brother said, I realized that Yanlou is divided into many management offices, and there are taverns, inns, casinos, and even Qinglou in Yanlou.

Before that, I specially asked my second brother to buy a new set of clothes, no matter what, after all, the new clothes still need to be much more energetic.

After we squeezed through the crowd, we came to the backyard of Yanlou, but we didn't expect that this backyard was also a place to eat, and the eldest brother was already sitting in the pavilion waiting for us early.

We greeted each other and sat down immediately.

This Xu Mang was quite polite, as soon as he sat down, he picked up the chicken leg with his left hand, picked up two dishes with his right hand and stuffed them into his mouth.

"Big brother, they didn't have a hard time for you, right?"

Yan Ancheng shook his head, filled the wine glass and handed it to Nangong Jie.

"It's not true, it's just that my official power has been revoked, and I'm a person with no real power now. But it doesn't matter, after all, you don't have to worry about a lot of things in the future. ”

After speaking, Yan Ancheng toasted the two of them, and then drank wine with Xu Mang and chatted freely.

And Nangong Jie looked at the wine in the wine glass, looking a little sad and a little godless. In fact, since he came back from Yanshan, he has been a little uncomfortable all the way, and even his reaction has been a few beats slower, maybe there are some things that he still can't let go of in his heart.

After eating, my eldest brother specially took me to visit the Yan Tower.

The casino in Yanlou is the largest casino in the whole Yanzhou City, and it is also the so-called mixed fish, all kinds of people have it, all around are red as the theme, and there are a few red lanterns hanging on the ceiling. There are many ornaments around.

In the center of the hall, there was a man whose clothes bag and table were stuffed with copper coins and silver dollars, and his hair was a little sloppy, but his body was indeed very hurried, and he was dressed in black, tall but not strong.

It didn't take long for more and more copper coins to grow in his place, and he took a stick of grass in his mouth, put three dice in his cup, shook them for a moment, and slapped them on the table.

After opening the cup, he looked closely, and it was 6 4 4, and after a while, the man stuffed the money around him into his pocket.

"This person is the famous gambling king, Zheng Yuan."

My eldest brother pulled me to the table and motioned for the people around me to give way.

"Yo, what kind of wind is this blowing Yan Gongzi here?"

After Zheng Yu saw the eldest brother, he put down the things in his hand and walked towards us.

I'm a little bored with my hands crossed, after all, I'm not interested in gambling or anything like that, but what am you going to say I'm interested in? It's better to be the green building next to it.

Yan Ancheng shrugged his shoulders and leaned into Zheng Yu's ear and didn't know what to say. Zheng Yu's face changed greatly after hearing this, he removed Yan Ancheng's hand from his shoulder, smiled maliciously, and turned his head to look at Yan Ancheng from time to time, and walked back to the gambling table.

After a while, the eldest brother's gambling nature also came up, and he didn't forget to teach me how to play this size while gambling.

No, soon in front of this gambling king Zheng Yuan, the eldest brother and the second brother's money were almost lost.

"Yan Gongzi, don't play, I'm embarrassed."

I didn't expect that the famous and shocking rivers and lakes would lose like this.

"I know that the gambling king is powerful, I have a little brother here who doesn't know how to gamble and wants to play with Your Excellency, I don't know if it's okay."

I glanced at my eldest brother and turned my head to leave, but he clicked the acupoint and pulled me back.

Big brother leaned into my ear and said.

"Just play with him, it's okay, I'll pay for it."

After saying that, he untied my acupuncture hole, and I turned to my eldest brother and leaned into his ear.

"I wouldn't bet at all!"

My eldest brother patted me on the shoulder, but he trusted me very much. Signal me to let go and play.

And I don't know why the second brother also took out the money bag and stuffed it in my arms, I really couldn't resist the two of them, so I had to play at will.

And this Zheng Cheng and Yan Ancheng didn't know what to talk about, and they didn't want to gamble with Nangong Jie and his party, Yan Ancheng saw that there was no way, so he had to take out a tael of gold and put it in front of the table, and the people around him stared at the piece of gold with straight eyes.

Nangong Jie glanced at the gold, and immediately picked up the gold and wanted to stuff it back into Yan Ancheng's hands, but was stopped by Yan Ancheng.

"Big brother, what do you mean by that?"

I was a little overwhelmed.

And after the eldest brother took the gold, he put it back on the table.

"Your Excellency, are you playing?"

I saw that Zheng Yuan's saliva was about to flow down, and he saw this piece of gold.

Repeatedly: "Play!" Play! ”

After a while, the previous action was repeated.

I just pressed it casually, but I never expected that I would try my luck to win the gambling king?

And Zheng Cheng didn't care, handed me the money he had bet.

And the people around me also say that I am lucky.

It didn't take long for me to win, but Zheng Cheng was blue-faced, and he was not willing to gamble with me, this miser, he didn't even want to give me the money he lost.

The people around applauded, only to see that Zheng Cheng turned around and wanted to slip away, but was stopped by the eldest brother and returned the money to me.

Nangong Jie glanced at Yan Ancheng, and after stuffing one or two pieces of gold back into his hand, he returned half of the money he had won to Zheng Yu, and then stuffed the remaining half of the money to Xu Mang.

"Hey, third brother? How not to be happy? What a lot of money to win! ”

Xu Mang couldn't keep his mouth shut, but the only one who really understood Nangong Jie was Yan Ancheng.

"You brother, the casino is proud, and the love scene is frustrated."

After Yan Ancheng glanced at Zheng Yuan, he took his hand off his shoulder and patted him, and then left Yanlou with Xu Mang.

The two searched for a long time before they found Nangong Jie outside the city.

"Third brother, you still don't seem to be in a good mood."

I shook my head.

"No, in fact, I've always been very happy, but I don't want to express it these days, with the eldest brother and the second brother as companions, why not do it, it's just that there is something important to do, so I don't want to stay."

As soon as the eldest brother spat out the word snow in his mouth, I waved my hand.

"Don't, I told the eldest brother, Xue Qing and I are just ordinary friends, if Xue Qing really marries the third son of the Yan family in the future, I will bless it."

Yan Ancheng looked a little regretful and stuffed a tael of gold to Nangong Jie, I wanted to refuse, but his fiery hands held my hands, and I gave up this idea. At this time, Xu Mang also led the horse to the suburbs.

"Are you leaving now?"

I nodded and took the horse from my second brother's hand.

"Well, I have hidden important things from my eldest brother before, but I also ask my eldest brother to forgive me, if there is a chance in the future, I will definitely tell you."

My eldest brother patted me on the shoulder and hugged me.

"Okay, if you need to contact me at any time, you will definitely do your best as a big brother. You have to be careful on your way. ”

I nodded and looked at my second brother.

"Second brother, what should you do?"

"I... I still want to play here for a few more days, and I will go to Bianjing to find you in some time. ”

After the three of us hugged each other, I waved goodbye to them, I don't know how long this parting would be......
