Chapter 31 Gambling (Trap)
The fourth prince came in with Xiao Qi, and like others, his eyes were immediately attracted by Xiao Lingxiao, the only woman in the house. After the fourth prince and others exchanged pleasantries for a while, they came to Xiao Lingxiao, bowed their hands, and said softly, "I didn't expect that there would be a young woman like the girl who came to participate in this gambling game, I don't know the girl's name?" ”
Xiao Lingxiao glanced at him and said coldly, "Your Royal Highness really likes to make fun of everything, and I didn't expect to meet you here." ”
As soon as Xiao Lingxiao opened his mouth to speak, the fourth prince suddenly felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and he immediately heard Xiao Lingxiao's voice.
"You! You are! ”
Xiao Lingxiao didn't wait for him to say his name, glared at him fiercely, and lowered his voice to warn, "It's good that His Royal Highness knows, you don't have to let others know." ”
The fourth prince hurriedly stopped when he heard this, he looked at Xiao Lingxiao in surprise, frowned and lowered his voice and asked sharply, "Aren't you in Fali Temple?" How did you come here! ”
Xiao Lingxiao didn't bother to talk to him, took out the invitation from his sleeve and shook it in front of his eyes, "This girl has this interest and an invitation, can't she come yet!" Hum! ”
After that, Xiao Lingxiao took Bao Rong'er and the others to get up and change seats, obviously hating the four princes and staying away from him.
The fourth prince was bored again, and stood in place and gritted his teeth fiercely. Why does Xiao Lingxiao, a woman, always catch him off guard? The four princes thought about it, and they were a little lucky, maybe this was a great opportunity to capture Xiao Lingxiao's heart.
After waiting for a while, Xiao Qi led everyone to the inner room. The interior is very large, with luxurious tables and chairs placed on all sides, each set of tables and chairs separated by screens on both sides, so as to maintain enough privacy without feeling hidden.
Xiao Lingxiao When they came in, someone here had already found a place to sit down first. The seat seemed to be self-chosen, Xiao Lingxiao found a position in the northwest corner and just sat down, and the four princes followed.
The fourth prince sat next to Xiao Lingxiao, as if he was very close, and said softly, "Lingxiao, I'm afraid you don't know, right?" This jackpot gamble is not an ordinary game, it is very dangerous. ”
Xiao Lingxiao replied in annoyance, "If Your Royal Highness wants to watch the play, you have to shut up honestly, why pretend to be?" ”
The fourth prince's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he said with some annoyance, "Am I so unbearable in your heart?" After that, he sighed lightly and said in a soft tone, "Ling Xiao, I'm just worried about you." But don't worry, with me, I won't put you in danger. ”
With that, he got up and went to the adjacent seat.
Not only did the four princes say that this gambling was very dangerous, but Xuan also said that it seemed that people died here every year. Xiao Lingxiao observed everyone present, and always felt that these were all people who seemed to have some status, and it seemed unlikely that they would fight for their lives for a small gamble.
Just when Xiao Lingxiao was thinking about this, his eyes suddenly fell on a seat not far from the north. The man sitting there wore a hat on his head, covering his face, and even the subordinates behind him were wearing silver masks, looking mysterious and weird.
I heard that among the people who came to participate in the big gamble, there were also many people from the rivers and lakes, and it was not strange that some sects were dressed strangely. But Xiao Lingxiao saw the man's hand at a glance, and there was clearly a deep scar on that hand!
Xiao Lingxiao subconsciously clenched her fists, she would never forget this scar. That man is the guy who injured Xiao Fengming in Hualing Nunnery at the beginning! It's been so long, and they haven't found him with so much effort, but they didn't expect him to hit the door by himself today!
As soon as he thought that this man had stabbed Xiao Fengming's sword, Xiao Lingxiao felt a strong hatred in his heart. There was no way to find this man before, but now that he was in front of him, Xiao Lingxiao gritted her teeth fiercely, and thought to herself, if you catch him for a while, you have to break his body into thousands of pieces to Feng Ming to avenge the sword!
In his mind, the divine wolf also sensed the man's breath and said, "Master, do you want to arrest him immediately?" ”
Xiao Lingxiao suppressed this breath and said, "No." If he shows up here, he can't run away. We'll settle accounts with him when the game is over! Divine wolf, you must keep an eye on him this time, don't let him run away! ”
After about a stick of incense, all the gamblers were seated. Counting Xiao Lingxiao, there were a total of twenty-one gamblers present, and this number was not up or down, Xiao Lingxiao vaguely felt that she was the extra one. I don't know how Xiao Fengming got the post, it seems that I have to ask carefully after I go back.
Just as he was thinking, as soon as the door in the inner room opened, a graceful woman walked to the center of the hall, bowed deeply to the distinguished guests around, and then said, "All the guests who came today are distinguished guests, and it is an honor for you to come to participate in this gambling game." There are three games of Jackpot betting, and you can bet on each game as you like. The casino is ruthless, inform you in advance, this gambling village only cares about the victory or defeat on the table, and the rest of the things have nothing to do with my Wanguan Zhuang. ”
As soon as the woman finished saying this, she heard a man on the side of her seat ask in a loud voice, "I wonder if anyone will have the opportunity to see the true face of the owner of Wanguanzhuang this year?" ”
The woman smiled slightly, "Although the owner of my Wanguanzhuang is not a hospitable person, he will definitely receive a guest on the day of the gambling of Wanjin, and this year is naturally no exception." ”
It is rumored that the owner of Wanguanzhuang will invite the most bold gamblers to meet every year, and after listening to the woman's words, everyone is ready to give it a go. Some of the people present came for money, some came to seize power, and some came to get the mysterious woman of the owner of Wanguanzhuang. Although this gamble seems to be nothing more than a victory or defeat at the table, in fact, there are many undercurrents surging.
Xiao Lingxiao also has a trade-off in her heart, her primary purpose today is to seize wealth, one by one the gold lords and local tyrants are in front of her, if she doesn't scavenge gold and silver from them, she is sorry Feng Ming got this post for herself. As for whether you can meet the owner of Wanguanzhuang, it depends on fate.
It didn't take long for the tables to move up.
Before, Xiao Lingxiao thought that this Wanjin Hao gamble might be a novelty, but when those people were ready, Xiao Lingxiao was disappointed. It's still a bet.
Among the people present, there were naturally not a few disappointed looks on their faces, many of them did not have much interest in the gambling game, and they really couldn't be interested in watching these big and small tricks. However, when the game reached the fifth round, the situation suddenly changed.
"Bet, 500 taels of silver bet on the big, 300 taels of silver on the big, 30,000 taels of silver on the small ......"
The enchanting woman standing next to the dealer read out the bets placed by the gamblers in a crisp voice, and when the sound of "30,000 taels of silver" came out of her mouth clearly, everyone present was shocked.
Xiao Lingxiao squinted her eyes slightly and scanned everyone, looking at their reactions, she was very satisfied.
Thirty thousand taels of silver, no matter where it is placed, it is a large amount, Xiao Lingxiao didn't care at all, and bet it down.
This game, starting small, Xiao Lingxiao's 30,000 taels of silver became 60,000 taels in the blink of an eye.
There was a rustling sound in the big room, and when the next round of dice was shaken, the woman read the bet again.
"Bet, 10,000 taels bet big, 20,000 taels bet big...... 60,000 taels, bet on the small ......"
The woman's voice fell, and the atmosphere in the room changed again. Because she only said the size of the bet, not the identity of the bettor, the others could only guess who had placed the silver bet.
Open point, small.
Xiao Lingxiao smiled and looked at her 60,000 taels, which suddenly became 120,000 taels.
In the next few rounds, Xiao Lingxiao bet up again and again with interest, and the bet rose higher and higher. At first, the rest of the gamblers followed suit, but after a few rounds, Xiao Lingxiao's bet on the table had turned into millions of taels of silver, and some people couldn't keep up even if they wanted to.
Millions of taels of silver, how much money is that? A country's tax revenue for the whole year is also roughly like this, I didn't expect that there are really people in this Wanjinhao casino who have such a big spirit.
"This distinguished guest wants to bet 1,920,000 taels of silver?" Even the bewitching woman, who had always been very calm, restrained her smile and asked with some uncertainty.
The demon wolf who was responsible for betting for Xiao Lingxiao nodded expressionlessly. They don't have any concept of gold and silver or anything like that, and they do whatever their master says.
The bewitching woman whispered a few words to the dealer, and then said to the demon wolf who turned into an ordinary man with some embarrassment, "Please go back and explain to your master, such a large bet, we have to say a word before we can continue." ”
The demon wolf returned to Xiao Lingxiao's side and said this to her, Xiao Lingxiao smiled and nodded, without saying anything. Her current 1.92 million taels of silver, in addition to her own capital of 30,000 taels, part of it was won from other gamblers, but most of it was from the dealer of Wanguanzhuang. Every time she bets on it, Wanguanzhuang has the opportunity to make a lot of money, but every time Xiao Lingxiao bets on it. As a result, Wanguanzhuang has been losing money.
The bewitching woman explained the situation with an embarrassed face, and then asked people to guard the table, and she left with the dealer.
As soon as they left, the room boiled even more. A man who looked like a boy stood up and said in a loud voice, "Who has such courage, I wonder if you can make friends with me Zou Qiuke?" ”
As soon as he said this, several more people stood up and looked around, asking the same question.
However, after asking a few times, no one responded, and someone shouted dissatisfiedly, "Why do you dare to make such a big bet, why do you want to hide your head and show your tail?" Could it be that you look down on me and can't wait? ”
As soon as these words came out, many people responded one after another.
Bao Rong'er frowned and lowered her voice and asked Xiao Lingxiao, "Master, what should I do?" ”
Before Xiao Lingxiao could speak, the fourth prince suddenly walked around the screen.
He frowned and sat down unceremoniously beside Xiao Lingxiao, stared at her, and asked, "Lingxiao, you tell the truth, did you bet on the bet?" ”
