Chapter 20: The Evil Gambler
The bright moon outside the window is like a hook, arousing people's hearts.
Chen Beiluo suddenly remembered a person, a beauty in white.
Although he had only met once, she made a deep impression on him.
It was indeed an unforgettable beauty.
At this time, Chen Beiluo had already returned to the inn and was sitting on the window lattice.
The silver moonlight shone on him, and it made him look so lofty and holy.
There was no light in the room, it was pitch black, and he couldn't see his fingers, but Chen Beiluo knew that the room had been cleaned up.
Although the air is still filled with a faint floral scent.
Although the door is still the same door, the window is still the same window.
But the bed wasn't that bed anymore.
Even the floors were changed and it was so neat and clean as if no one had ever lived in it.
But none of this is important, the important thing is Su Ying.
Su Ying is gone.
Chen Beiluo found out when he returned to the inn.
But there was one more thing, a letter, on the table in the middle of the room.
Now, the letter is in Chen Beiluo's hands.
The pink letterhead had two lines of handwriting on it, and it looked like it was a woman's handwriting.
The letter reads:
Borrow the pearl of the king, and give the ruler of the king.
Invite you to gather silver hooks, and hope that you will not forget.
The letterhead exudes a faint fragrance, elegant and quiet, which is the fragrance of orchids.
The letter was written very tactfully, as if it was just an invitation to meet him at Silver Hook, and intimately reminded him not to forget the agreement, but there was a faint sense of threat, as if he would not go to the appointment......
Chen Beiluo smiled faintly, he didn't take it to heart at all, with his ability, even the two palace masters of the Shifting Flower Palace couldn't hurt Su Ying in the slightest.
As for Yan Nantian, let's talk about it when he wakes up.
It's just that the other party dares to hold Su Ying hostage, so you have to be prepared to bear his anger.
The dragon has reverse scales, and it will be angry if you touch it!
The dragon raised its head.
Chen Beiluo read softly, and Tang Tianxing's expression when he said these three words suddenly appeared in front of him.
It couldn't be helped, because it was really unexpected.
Tang Tianxing's eyes were full of reverence and fear, his face was terrifyingly pale, and his whole person was trembling slightly, what kind of organization was this so-called "dragon raising its head" that could make the number one master in the younger generation of the Tang Sect afraid to be like this.
But the more this happened, the more interested he became.
And the other party planned carefully, one link was closely linked, and he had unknowingly fallen into the trap of the other party.
It is worthy of the world written by Mr. Gu Long, and it really deserves its name.
It's just that it seems a little off.
Chen Beiluo thought to himself and pinched the letterhead in his hand.
Letterhead, pink, scent, woman.
Hmm, woman?
Could it be her?!
The corners of Chen Beiluo's mouth turned up slightly, as if he had thought of something.
......
The sun rises and the moon sets, and the glow is bright.
It's dawn.
At the end of the exercise, Chen Bei fell down to the hall, and after a beautiful meal, he rode his horse out of the Yuelai Inn and walked around.
The boy was not in a hurry at all.
Because he knew that Su Ying was safe, at least before the other party saw him.
And he also knew that the other party must send someone to monitor him so that he could keep track of his whereabouts at any time.
Maybe it's the owner of a bun shop, maybe it's a guy in a teahouse, maybe it's a street diner, maybe it's a little girl selling flowers, maybe it's a fisherwoman holding a boat, maybe it's some hobbling old lady.
All in all, each person has the potential to be the other's eyeliner.
The other party must have thought that he would be very anxious and unable to sleep and eat, but he didn't let her get her wish.
Hehe, presumably the other party's face must be ugly now, as long as it can make the enemy block, he is still happy to do it.
The moon rises and the sun sets, and night falls.
Night.
Spring night.
Early spring.
The four golden characters of the "Silver Hook Gambling House" are shining in the light.
But under the lantern hung a shining silver hook, like a fisherman's hook.
The silver hook kept swaying in the night wind, and the night wind seemed to sigh, sighing why so many people in this world were willing to be caught on this silver hook?
This is the largest casino in Hangzhou.
Silver Hook Casino?
Chen Beiluo remembered that there was also a silver hook gambling house in the legend of Lu Xiaofeng, I don't know what the relationship between the two is?
Is it just the same name, or is there some kind of hidden connection?
For example, they are in the same lineage, they are the same place, the silver hook gambling house of different eras.
Chen Beiluo's mind was spinning, but his feet didn't stop, and he stepped through the gate and walked into the brightly lit Silver Hook Gambling House.
At this moment, the luxuriously furnished hall is full of warmth and joy, full of pheasants drinking reeds, very lively, everywhere is filled with the smell of wine, tobacco, as well as the smell of fat powder on women, and the smell of sweat on men......
Two tables of pai gow, two tables of dice, two tables of odds and doubles, the flow of people who gamble here is the most complicated, and the sound of shouting is also the loudest, several black-clothed men with scarlet belts around their waists stand at the table, no matter who wins a bet, they will draw a percent.
The striking of silver coins makes a crisp and pleasant sound, and there is hardly any kind of music in the world that can compare to it.
Everyone's head was covered with red sweat.
It's just that some people are full of spring, some people are depressed, some people are calm, and some people are trembling nervously.
In addition, there are two flower halls.
The outermost room, there are fewer people, and it is quieter, and most of the people sitting at the three tables are some rich people with fat brains, and piles of flowers and silver, turning around in a pair of sweaty hands.
There was fragrant tea and wine beside the table, and more than a dozen girls with beaded hair were shuttling and shuttling among the people with a smile, like a butterfly wearing flowers, touching a handful of silver from here and two gold ingots there.
Gambling money masters who care about these.
As a result, the loser's purse is empty, but the winner's purse is not necessarily increased.
Seeing that the accumulation of gold and silver has been out of the hands of the girls wearing rings, the pockets of the casino owners.
The innermost room had a thick curtain hanging from the door.
There were only seven or eight gamblers in the house, but there were more than a dozen young girls accompanying them, some serving tea, some pouring wine, and some just snuggling into the arms of others, peeling melon seeds, delicately sent into the mouth of the high roller, their fingers like bamboo shoots, their eyes as sweet as honey.
At the gaming table, there was no gold or silver to be seen, only a few slips of paper were flowing, but the number on each piece of paper was enough for ordinary people to live comfortably for a lifetime.
Silver Hook Gambling House is really a very luxurious place, and it is always ready for all kinds of extravagant people to enjoy all kinds of luxury.
One of the most extravagant is of course gambling.
In the warm hall, everyone was gambling, and everyone was concentrating on their bets, but when Chen Beiluo walked in, everyone couldn't help but raise their heads.
Some people are like magnets in iron nails in the crowd, and Chen Beiluo is undoubtedly this kind of person.
"Who is this little Taoist? So handsome! ”
"I don't know."
"I haven't seen it."
"I don't know."
"He reminds me of a man." The man who spoke was dry and thin, and had gambled into fine.
"Who?"
"Who is it?"
"Say!"
"Speak quickly!"
The gambling spirit smiled and said: "The most beautiful man in the world in the past, the sworn brother of the hero Yan Nantian." ”
"You mean...... Yulang Jiang Feng? ”
"That's right!"
"How can Jiang Feng be so young?"
"Yes."
"Is it his son?" Someone had a big brain and said excitedly.
"Fart, how can they have the slightest resemblance."
"Well, that's right." The man smirked.
"But, what is this little Taoist priest doing here?"
"Of course it's gambling."
"That's it, if you don't gamble in the casino, are you looking for a woman?"
"It's hard to say~~"
"Have you forgotten that there is a great beauty here?" Someone reminded.
"It's better than flowers, and it's more fragrant than jade." A person squinted his eyes and sighed: "How can that woman be described by the word 'beauty', she is simply a stunner who captivates the country and the city!" ”
Chen Beiluo Shi Ran walked with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
Everyone's eyes were on him, with one exception.
This person is actually a woman!
She wore a light, plain white, soft silk robe, soft as skin against her slender and mature carcass.
Her skin was delicate and smooth like white jade, and sometimes it even looked like ice, almost transparent.
There is no fat powder on her beautiful face at all, and those clear and bright eyes are the best decoration for any woman to dream of.
She didn't even look at Chen Beiluo out of the corner of her eye.
Nonsense, people are facing away from him, how to look at him.
Chen Beiluo stared at her wholeheartedly.
Because he knows the other person, even if it's just a back.
The woman is very fragrant.
Of course, it is not the aroma of fat powder, let alone the aroma of wine.
There is a kind of woman in the world, like a flower, who is not only beautiful, but also can emit fragrance in itself.
She is undoubtedly that kind of woman.
The beauty is delicate and white in her hand, holding a stack of chips, thinking about it, I don't know if I should bet big? Or should you bet smaller?
The dealer has begun to shake the dice, and then "bang", put the treasure box down, and shouted: "Ge Laozi, bet quickly, Lao Tzu is going to open!" ”
I saw that his face was like the bottom of a pot, his face was full of cheeks and beards, a pair of eyebrows were like two board brushes, his eyes were like a copper bell, there was only one eye left, and his left eye was covered with a black cloth cover, but it increased his fierceness, ferocity, and mysterious charm.
Chen Beiluo looked at the man in front of him, and suddenly remembered someone.
Beauty was still thinking about it, Chen Beiluo blinked, leaned over, and whispered in her ear: "This bet should be small!" ”
The chips in Lirenxian's hand immediately bet down, but they bet on the "big".
"Open!"
When the crate is opened, the three dice add up to only seven points.
Some women are born with a rebellious nature in their blood, especially rebellious men.
The beauty in white is undoubtedly this kind of person.
"Seven o'clock is small, eat big and lose little!"
Immediately the crowd erupted in cheers, and someone shouted, "I won, I won!" ”
The dealer laughed and said: "There are winners and losers, you are a fairy, and the turtle son who loses money dares to come and kowtow!" ”
Soon, I saw a man in gray walking out of the crowd, without saying a word, respectfully kowtowing three times.
The dealer grinned and said, "Refreshing!" ”
The man in gray also grinned, but he didn't care at all.
The banker's expression was even more wild, he picked up a string of copper coins from the table, counted them, and said with a smile: "Ge Laozi, seventy, your turtle son actually wants to win Lao Tzu's seventy taels of silver...... Which one is it, come out and kowtow. ”
He asked three times in a row, but no one in the crowd answered.
Before he could finish speaking, his body flickered, as fast as lightning.
By the time they came to their senses, he had come to a thin black man with a dog skin plaster on his temple, and his big fan-like hand lifted him behind his head and threw him on the table, and the man was still shouting, "It's not me, you're wrong." ”
The dealer's figure shook again and returned to the same place.
He picked up the black and thin man and shouted angrily: "Ge Laozi, do you turtle son think that Lao Tzu's eyes are useless, you turtle son might as well ask the people here when Lao Tzu missed it." ”
The more he talked, the more angry he became, and slapped him with a backhand, beating and scolding at the same time: "Gambling treacherous gambling slippery is not gambling, your turtle son doesn't even understand this rule, and you dare to gamble for money...... Get out of the fucking rotten bastard. ”
With a wave of his hand, he threw the man out of the door, and sure enough, no one dared to pay the bill, and the casino immediately "crackled", "poof, poof", and the dealer's laughter, so lively.
