Chapter 38: The Eve of the City Comparison
As the city approaches, the atmosphere of Hanyang Castle gradually becomes lively.
There are obviously more people on the streets, especially those places that are lively on weekdays, there are more and more people, and it is simply overcrowded.
The business of the major restaurants is also better, every day's meal, the restaurant has hung out the "full" sign early, even if it is not on the meal, the guests who eat wine and drink tea are endless.
On the top floor of Hanyang Building, in the Tianzi private room, people No. 5 or 6 sat around a large round table, eating and drinking, all of them were full of red light, so happy!
On the main seat, the old man with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, white face and silver beard, and heroic and extraordinary martial arts is Tan Kui, the head of the Tan family, one of the three major families in Hanyang City.
Sitting on Tan Kui's left guest of honor, he is also an old man, he looks the same age as Tan Kui, about sixty years old, gray hair, square face and wide mouth, tiger back and bear waist, and there is a brute air all over his body, this person is the head of the Xie family, Xie Qi, the three major families in Hanyang.
The remaining four people are all seventeen or eighteen-year-old young people, all of them are handsome and handsome, heroic, and they are not ordinary people at a glance, if you want to say that the most prestigious talents of the young generation in Hanyang City, they are basically all here, they are Xie Xiaoyu and Xie Xiaoguang of the Xie family, as well as Tan Long and Tan Hu of the Tan family.
After three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere gradually eased from the heat.
Tan Kui poured Xie Qi a glass of wine with his own hands, and then said: "Brother Xie, it is said that Tang Chun is very well prepared this time, we have to be careful, don't ...... at this critical time."
Xie Qi waved his hand and said, "Brother, you can rest assured, didn't he Tang Chun just get a set of high-level star weapons, but that Tang Hao is only a ninth-order star warrior, so he should not be afraid." β
Tan Kui nodded, but the worry in his eyes did not decrease, and replied: "That being said, this is all on the surface, I am worried that Tang Chun still has some secret hands." β
Xie Qi casually glanced at Xie Xiaoyu beside him, and said with a bit of contempt: "It's not just him Tang Chun who has a secret hand, we also have it!
Tan Kui snorted, which was a tacit acquiescence.
Xie Qi continued: "In the past few years, the Tang family has been severely suppressed by us, and there is only a little money left, even if there is a secret hand, it can't make a big name. β
"Because of this, I'm more worried, with the current situation of the Tang family, I'm afraid Tang Chun won't sit still, if he lets go with the strength of the clan, I'm afraid there will be more accidents, I can't help it......"
Hearing Tan Kui's words, Xie Qi's expression finally became a little solemn, he was silent for a moment, and said: "My brother is reasonable, the lion fights the rabbit, and he does his best, we really can't take it lightly." To tell you the truth, I also made some preparations, Yu'er and Guang'er, I have been equipped with high-level generals, and in this regard, I will definitely not lose to the Tang family. My brother is so cautious, I believe he is also prepared, right?"
"Don't hide it from Brother Xie, I also prepared a set of high-level generals for Long'er. β
"That's very good!" Xie Qi nodded, and said: "Yesterday, the Tang family competition was over, except for Tang Hao, Tang Mu, and Tang Gang, the Tang family did not have any amazing talents, and there were two people with good talents, but they did not grow up, so there is no need to worry." β
Xie Xiaoyu and the other four juniors, hearing these words, couldn't help but flash a trace of arrogance on their faces, and it could be seen that if it weren't for the presence of the elders, they would not have to make a big fuss.
"It's true that the situation on the bright side is like this, I hope I'm thinking too much......" Tan Kui nodded heavily, then picked up the wine glass and saluted Xie Qi: "With the elder brother strategizing, the younger brother is much more relieved." Come, little brother salutes old brother for a drink!"
......
On the same day, the gambling handicap about the city was released from Hanyang Casino, it was like a fire, and people's enthusiasm was ignited at once, and with the spread of gambling information, the fiery mood quickly spread to every corner of Hanyang City.
The greeting language when people meet has also changed.
"Did you buy it?"
"What to buy?"
"Naturally, I bought the code, don't you know yet?"
"Buy a horse, what kind of horse, why buy a horse?"
"The code released by the casino can be bet on the top ten rankings of the city, and you can also bet on the players to decide the winner. β
......
Outside the market in the south of Hanyang City, He Junwan and Xu Qingqing held hands and walked aimlessly.
Since the sect's exploration mission was suspended, they have been idle, and in addition to cultivating every day, they are going out shopping together, and by the way, they are inquiring about the activities of other sect spies in Hanyang City.
"Beauty, take a look, this year's gambling game in Chengbi has opened, one to five!"
A short and sturdy young man walked up to him and handed a colorful advertisement to He Junwan and Xu Qingqing.
He Junwan took it casually, didn't look at it much, just carried it in her hand, she was not interested in gambling, and she was able to accept this advertisement completely out of respect for others.
But the young man who handed out the leaflets didn't think so, he followed behind the two beauties, and sold vigorously until he was sure that they were really not interested, and then turned to other pedestrians, and did not forget to remind again before leaving: "Two beauties, if you want to buy a code, you must remember to find me, and report to the salesman of Casino 13." β
When the young man walked away, He Junwan and Xu Qingqing looked at each other and shook their heads and smiled.
"The life of ordinary people is not easy, although they don't have to risk their lives, but in order to make a living, they work tirelessly, even if there is a little opportunity, they don't want to miss it, this is the same as us stars, many stars, in order to become stronger, they are also unscrupulous......" He Junwan couldn't help but sigh.
Xu Qingqing smiled slightly and said, "Look at what you said, do you praise others for their diligence, or do you scold others for doing whatever it takes?"
He Junwan was about to fight and said, "I naturally praised him." β
Xu Qingqing sighed lightly and said: "The lives of ordinary people have long been far away from us, so don't think about it." I'm a little curious about the markets offered by the casinos, but who are they like?"
Hearing her say this, He Junwan was also interested, and immediately unfolded the propaganda advertisement in her hand.
The clichΓ©s on the advertisement that promote the strength and background of the casino, as well as the words that build momentum for the city's gambling game, were naturally ignored by them, and their eyes fell directly on the list of the top ten predictions in the city:
First place, Xie Xiaoyu, nineteen years old, three-line star soul, second-order star general, inner disciple of the Shanhe Sect;
second place, Tan Long, nineteen years old, two star souls, first-order star generals, inner disciples of the Shanhe Sect;
third place, Xie Xiaoguang, eighteen years old, two star souls, first-order star generals, inner disciples of the Shanhe Sect;
fourth place, Tang Hao, nineteen years old, two star souls, ninth-order star scholars, inner disciples of the Shanhe Sect;
fifth place, Tan Hu, eighteen years old, two-line star soul, ninth-order star scholar, inner disciple of the Shanhe Sect;
Sixth place, Tang Mu, eighteen years old, two star souls, eighth-order star scholars, inner disciples of the Mountain and River Sect;
Seventh place, Tang Gang, eighteen years old, a series of star souls, eighth-order star scholars, and inner disciples of the Shanhe Sect;
eighth place, Xie Qizhi, seventeen years old, a series of star souls, seventh-order star scholars, inner disciples of the Mountain and River Sect;
ninth, Tan Peng, seventeen years old, a series of star souls, seventh-order star scholars, and inner disciples of the Shanhe Sect;
Tenth place, Tang Zhi, seventeen years old, a series of star souls, seventh-order star scholars, and inner disciples of the Shanhe Sect.
Looking at this list, the two of them couldn't help but be speechless, they were all disciples of the Mountain and River Sect, and this city was about to become a disciple of the Mountain and River Sect, and the selection of outer disciples was more like an incidental thing.
