The smoke willow paints the bridge, the wind curtain is green, and there are 100,000 people.

The clouds and trees surround the embankment sand, the angry waves roll frost and snow, and the moat is endless.

The city is a jewel, the household is profitable, and the competition is luxurious.

The heavy lake is stacked on top of Qingjia, there are three autumn laurels, ten miles of lotus.

Qiang tube clear, Lingge flooded the night, frolicking and fishing lotus baby.

Thousands of horsemen have high teeth, listen to the flute and drums while drunk, and enjoy the smoke.

The picture of the different day will be good, and return to Fengchi Kua.

Qiantang has been prosperous since ancient times.

In the fourth year of Yongchang, Lin'an has become a prosperous city in Dachu.

After four years of farewell to Lin'an, when Chang'an returned here again, he swept away the previous haze and saw all the luxury of the big city.

Lin'an is colorful and colorful, and the West Lake is fascinating. When Chu Luo and Chang'an arrived in Lin'an, it was Chongyang, and the lake was full of wanderers. Chang'an remembers swimming in the lake with his father and Aunt Lan when he was a child, and he saw the same scene. After entering the palace, she also liked to go boating on the lake with Chu Luo, as long as she arrived at the lakeside, there were boatmen competing to attract customers. They always pick a small boat, set a table, prepare a meal carefully prepared by the ship's wife, drink and admire the moon. Some passenger boats carry entertainers and perform singing, dancing and stunts on the lake.

On this night, the lake was dyed, about ten miles away. The white clouds are close to the mountains, the mountains are half hidden, and the appearance of the mountains changes. The haze hangs low, and the tower can still be seen flickering, with scales and claws in the east and claws, vaguely in sight.

At the starry night, Shen Changan suddenly remembered the night when King Mingyang entered Luoyang. It was also in the middle of the night that she and Chu Luo looked in the direction of Luoyang from afar, and fell into deep thought. At that time, Chu Luo was only the king of Lin'an, and Shen Chang'an was only a side concubine. Death and life are broad, and Zicheng said. Hold the hand of the son, and grow old with the son. She also has such a beautiful vision in her heart. However, four years have passed, and at this moment she is in the same place, but her mood is not the same as before.

She glanced up at Chu Luo beside her. His appearance seems to be no different from four years ago, drinking to the moon, just like the king of Tsing Yi back then. Chu Luo seemed to notice her gaze, took Chang'an's hand, and leaned to her side. She rested in his arms, and gradually felt at ease.

When they returned to Lin'an this time, the two were extremely low-key, and only He Sheng and Wanxiang were with them. They didn't go to the previous Lin'an Palace, and they didn't even go back to the Shen Mansion, but lived the life of ordinary people. A few days later, Chu Luo and Chang'an left Lin'an and settled in Hecheng. Hecheng is close to Pingjiang and is a comfortable town in Lin'an City, with a very Jiangnan style. Hecheng is built by the water, because of traffic jams, there is no prosperity of Lin'an City, and even some of the meaning of standing in the world.

Chang'an likes it very much, the sunrise and sunset rest, the days are very pleasant. This reminded her of when she was in Taoyuan Village with Chu Luo many years ago, a mountain village blocked the world, which made her forget many troubles for no reason. Maybe, maybe it's a different state of mind, when Chang'an was in Taoyuan Village, she was still a girl, but four years of palace life seemed to have turned her into another person. She tried her best to find the beauty of the past, but vaguely, some feelings slowly changed.

On this day, Chang'an felt very tired after returning to his residence. Since the miscarriage, her body has become worse and worse than before, and she often feels tired after not having fun. But Chu Luo was still unsatisfied, and wanted to explore the scenery of Hecheng, but Chang'an was not good at ruining his interest, so he asked He Sheng to go with him. At first, Chu Luo heard that Chang'an was unwell, so he wanted to stay here to accompany her, but he couldn't stand Chang'an's repeated requests, so he had to go to the street. When he was about to go out, he glanced back at her, and she smiled at him leisurely, her smile like a burning peach blossom.

Without Chang'an's Chu Luo's shadow, although he was accompanied by He Sheng, he still felt empty around him. He could see that Chang'an cared about his feelings, so he wanted to quickly turn around and return to his residence. Just as he was thinking, he turned around and wanted to go back, but when he turned around, he saw that the hall under the bridge was bright, and hundreds of passers-by were crowded at a door, competing to spy in. Chu Luo looked up at the plaque in front of the door - Luo Xiaotang. He had heard a little that this was the largest gambling house in Hecheng.

"Song Gongzi won't win another game, right?"

"If he wins again, Wang Gongzi, there won't even be Ben left today!"

"Hahahaha, it's not, we're just waiting to see the show!"

……

There was an endless stream of people in front of the door, and Chu Luo listened to the conversation of several people, which aroused some interest. When he was the prince, he had already won all the large and small gambling houses in Lin'an, and he didn't believe that there were really people in this small Hecheng who could beat him.

Chu Luo glanced at He Sheng, He Sheng immediately understood, handed over a piece of silver in the hands of the little guy, the little guy's eyes immediately lit up, and seeing Chu Luo's extraordinary appearance, he hurriedly made a way to let him in.

In the lobby, the gambling game was set, and a man in brocade was sitting on the left side, sweating profusely.

The man on the other side smiled charmingly, "Prince Wang, I agreed." ”

Chu Luo raised his eyes to look at him. The man was dressed in red, with dark cloud sleeves. He tilted his head slightly, his expression was calm, the corners of his mouth curved into a smile arc, his left leg was raised and stepped on the gambling table, one hand was on the supported leg, his movements were natural and chic, his eyes were clear, and his air was magnificent. He put away his heavy purse and was about to walk away, but Chu Luo stood at the entrance of the doorway, blocking his way.

"Please wait a minute." Chu Luo slowly glanced at the people around him, and saw that the others were all surprised, so he calmed down, looked at him calmly, and said, "I don't know what Your Excellency is called?" ”

He glanced at him coldly and said indifferently, "Song Qingwu." ”

Chu Luo looked at him closely, only to find that under his handsome face, his facial features were not so sculpted, and faintly, there was a bit of feminine softness and handsomeness.

"Song Qingwu ......" Chu Luo muttered to himself, and suddenly smiled, "Qingwu and red knotweed, years and autumns are similar. Your Excellency is not only as handsome as a woman, but even your name is also the character of your daughter's family. ”

As soon as these words came out, the four seats were all happy.

Song Qingwu's face turned white for a while, he gritted his teeth with hatred, and his clenched fists also added a little strength, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Chu Luo arched his hand and said with a slight smile, "I am willing to compete with Song Gongzi." ”

Song Qingwu snorted coldly disdainfully, glanced Chu Luo up and down, patted the purse on his waist, and smiled proudly, "My son has won enough today, if you want to gamble again, please another day." ”

As he spoke, he bypassed Chu Luo and was about to walk straight out.

"Wait."

Chu Luo snorted, and Song Qingwu turned around. He took off the jade pendant on his waist and held it in his hand, and said with a playful smile, "If Gongzi Song wins, this jade pendant will be Gongzi's." ”

Song Qingwu's gaze fell on the jade pendant in Chu Luo's hand. The jade pendant is of high quality, the lines are clear, Qingwu has always been a person who has seen the world, and he knows that all the silver he won today is not as valuable as half of the jade pendant. Money is something outside the body, but seeing Chu Luo so determined, it also aroused Song Qingwu's competitive heart. He walked back to the table safely, let everyone go, put a bag of silver on the table in double, and shouted, "Accept it." ”

Chu Luoxuan raised his eyebrows, walked to the table, and sat opposite Song Qingwu.

He Sheng saw that the emperor was playing like this, and seeing that there were more and more onlookers around him, he was afraid that his identity would be exposed, and he was afraid that something would happen, so he couldn't help but silently pinch a cold sweat for the emperor in his heart. He walked to Chu Luo's side, trying his best to keep his composure.

No one dared to bet on the dice in this game. Song Qingwu gambled all the silver taels tonight, and he was bound to win the jade pendant.

The color cup rose, and everyone held their breath and stared.

The color cup was placed, and Song Qingwu gambled on a big victory.

With an extremely determined smile, he reached out to take the jade pendant in front of Chu Luo's table.

Chu Luojian raised his eyebrows and tightly covered Song Qingwu's hand holding the jade pendant.

Song Qingwu's face had an obvious flush, he tried his best to calm down, and said loudly, "So many people are here, is the son going to fail to pay the bill?" ”

Chu Luo laughed loudly, let go of his hand, and said clearly, "Naturally, I won't lose my trust." As he spoke, he glanced at the color cup in front of Song Qingwu, and said slowly, "One more game, okay?" ”

"Jokes." Song Qingwu smiled coldly, "The jade pendant is in my hands, what else do you have to bet on?" ”

Chu Luo didn't care about it and put another jade pendant on the table.

"Since you win, you have to win a pair, what kind of ability is it to take only one?" He looked up at Song Qingwu and smiled.

Song Qingwu took a deep breath, slapped the purse on the table, and shouted angrily, "Okay! ”

Chu Luo's gaze fell on the color cup. Since ancient times, gambling houses have lost nine out of ten, and if you are lucky, it is impossible to win in one night. He glanced at the gambling shop shopkeeper standing on one side again, his face was cringe, and his eyes looked at Song Qingwu as if he was about to squeeze out tears. He already had some plans in his heart, and said, "But this time, Song Gongzi wants to change colors with me." ”

Song Qingwu's face jumped obviously, and said with a smile, "The color cup belongs to Luo Xiaotang, you and I are the same, why do you want to change it?" ”

Chu Luo smiled slightly, "Since it's the same, why doesn't Gongzi Song refuse to exchange with me?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the four of them had already begun to hold back.

"yes, why can't you change it?"

"Isn't there something greasy in this color cup?"

"I guess so, otherwise why wouldn't you change it......"

……

Every word came into Song Qingwu's ears, which made him even more angry. He held back his anger, took away the jade pendant, and turned around to leave.

"No gambling today."

Taking advantage of Song Qingwu's turn, Chu Luo jumped and grabbed the color cup. Song Qingwu looked back in a hurry, the color cup had been safely placed in front of Chu Luo, he turned around and stretched out his hand to take back the color cup, but was coldly stopped by He Sheng.

"Bold!" He Sheng shouted, startling everyone around him.

Chu Luo opened the color cup, and at a glance found a magnet placed at the bottom of the cup, he smiled coldly, "No wonder Song Gongzi gambles big every time, it seems that there is a mystery." ”

Before the words fell, there was chaos all around. Wang Gongzi, who had lost all at first, rushed forward, grabbed Song Qingwu's arm tightly, and said with a slashed head and face, "Okay, you, you dare to cheat out all my silver taels, see how I clean you up!" ”

As he spoke, he was about to smash a punch into Song Qingwu's face, but fortunately, a few little guys quickly came up to stop him. Luo Xiaotang's shopkeeper was already frightened, and hurriedly came up to laugh and laugh, "Wang Gongzi is angry, it's all small, don't you, look at how much silver you lost, we'll pay it back to you." ”

Wang Gongzi's face was already flushed, he pointed to the purse on the table, and said angrily, "Take it!" ”

Song Qingwu sat at the table, holding her purse tightly in her hand, her face was slightly pale, she didn't say a word, and glared at Chu Luo hatefully.

"Bring it!" Wang Gongzi shouted, turned around and was about to step forward to grab his purse.

Song Qingwu turned around, dodging Wang Gongzi's flying body, still holding the purse in his arms and refusing to let go.

He glanced at Chu Luo, and then at Wang Gongzi, who was already angry, and the strength in his hand tightened a little. He can't let him out, absolutely not, if he returns all the money in his purse to someone, it is to admit the fact that he is out of thousands, so how will he Song Qingwu be a man in the casino in the future? He glanced around coldly, the disdainful looks of everyone around him made him breathless, and his gaze finally fell on Chu Luo's body, as if there was a scorching flame that wanted to consume him.

"How many taels of silver did you lose to him?"

Chu Luo's voice sounded coldly, resolute and resolute.

Song Qingwu raised her eyes when she heard this, and her heart suddenly suffocated.

"One...... One hundred taels. Wang Gongzi's voice trembled a little, he looked at Chu Luo coldly, and asked out loud, "What are you going to do?" ”

"I'll give you two hundred taels." Chu Luo glanced at He Sheng, and He Sheng immediately understood and handed a silver ticket to Wang Gongzi's hand.

He suddenly raised his eyes, "Is it enough?" ”

"Enough is enough." Wang Gongzi changed his expression, nodded to Chu Luo busily, and hurriedly took the silver ticket and left.

Everyone's eyes focused on Chu Luo's body, Chu Luo just looked back indifferently and called a pot of wine, poured himself a drink, and raised his voice, "Has anyone else lost money tonight?" ”

The four shook their heads, and they hugged me and went out.

When everyone dispersed, Chu Luo still stood still.

Song Qingwu's eyes were cold, but his face showed no weakness, and he said, "Why don't you leave?" ”

Chu Luo's eyes drooped, "My jade pendant." ”

"Give it back to you!" Song Qingwu threw the jade pendant in the direction of Chu Luo, and he took it firmly in his hand.

There was a moment of surprise on his face, and when he saw Chu Luo taking the jade pendant but still sitting in his seat, he couldn't help but wonder, "Your things have been returned to you, why are you still here?" ”

Song Qingwu was tingled in his words, but Chu Luo was not annoyed, but said, "The most taboo in the gambling house has always been to pay thousands, is there any justice for you to blatantly defraud money like this?" There is no need to open such a place anymore, so it is better to close it as soon as possible. ”

When Song Qingwu heard this, his face turned pale for a while, he looked at Chu Luo forcefully, and the warmth in his eyes swept away, "Don't be nosy." ”

"Qingwu!" The shopkeeper snorted, stepped forward, and smiled at Chu Luo, "This son, please don't remember the villain, just spare us this time, we are doing a small business, if we don't have this place, our family can't survive......"

The shopkeeper is nearly half a hundred years old, and this low-voiced plea also made Chu Luo feel a little pity. He is not a person who deliberately likes to embarrass others, not to mention that he is the emperor, so he naturally wants to help the world, and he can't cut off the people's way of life in vain.

He brushed his sleeves and got up, his eyes fell on Song Qingwu for a moment, and he commanded He Sheng in a deep tone, "Let's go." ”
