Chapter 54: The Bloodstained Quad Inn
On the second floor of the Sifang Inn, Shibei and Xia Yan stood in the center of the casino and looked around, this place was very different from the downstairs, the huge room was covered with more than a dozen gambling tables, all lit by a chandelier on the roof of the shed, the gamblers present were waiting for the start of the gambling game, only Oguma stood by the wall with a big knife on his back, carefully looking at everyone present, for fear that something would cause chaos to attract the regular army.

"Brother Xia Yan!, you two fools forgot your chips!!" Xiao Yi suddenly appeared and tugged at Xia Yan's sleeve.
"What are you doing here, children can't stay here!!" he took the box from Shoy's hand and motioned for Shoy to get out of here, but Shoy ignored it and ran to Okumar by the wall.
"This little ghost...... I'm really not afraid of getting into trouble!" Xia Yan had no choice but to sigh for a while.
In the spirit of making friends, Xiao Yi came to Okuma's side, punched him on the forearm, and asked with a big grin: "I heard the boss say that your name is Okuma!It seems to be very powerful!~"
Okumar was not disgusted by Xiao Yi's straightforwardness, smiled and touched her head, and replied, "I am Okuma......! If it were another ten years, I might consider making an appointment with you~"
"Hmph! I'll impress you in ten seconds! Because the knife betrayed you! I already know your true identity!~"
She shook off Okuma's hand, which made Okumar tremble: "...... So who do you say I am? I don't say I'm some wanted criminal, do you?"
Xiao Yi looked back at Natsuhiko and Shibei not far away, and after making sure that someone was protecting his safety, he paced back and forth in front of Oguma's eyes, and said to him with a smile: "I know the ranking of snow bandits~ Your knife is a status symbol that can only be used by snow thieves who command a hundred people, so Mr. centurion, imagine if I tell a nearby bounty hunter!hehe~!"
"Whew...... I thought you were thinking too much...... I'm just a centurion in name, and my eldest brother is the leader of our faction......" Okuma breathed a sigh of relief, but Shaw's next words once again pushed his heart to the brink of collapse.
“...... The mysterious swordsman who escaped from pursuit in the snow field is also you~?Don't worry!I won't say it~"
Despite Shaw's constant smile, Oguma began to feel uneasy, but luckily he remained awake and patted Shoy on the shoulder with his left hand: "What do you think of me?
"I know it's you, but there's no evidence, and I don't want to see your bloody battles......" Shaw's voice lowered, and he inadvertently said what was on his mind.
Oguma pointed at Natsuhiko and Shibei and asked, "Just those two nerds? The one with the knife seems to be quite powerful, and the one with his bare hands doesn't seem to be enough?"
"Hmm...... Don't underestimate my friends, they're samurai from the East!" Shoy emphasized his friend's skills, and Okumar said he wasn't interested in listening any longer, and walked to the side alone.
"I'm sorry to miss the company! Big brother will come here today to participate in the gambling tournament in person, and it is better for you and your friends to leave at that time, otherwise I will not be able to guarantee your safety." He turned back to say goodbye to Shoey, walked briskly to the staircase, passed by the Ten Guards, looked up and down, and left the casino.
After Oguma left, Shoey returned to Natsuhiko's side and said proudly, "I've heard a lot of news!It's much better than you two standing stupidly~"
"What do you know? is it related to our goal?" asked Natsuhiko.
"I'm going to follow you, or I won't tell you!hmph~"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Shibei blamed Xia Yan and said, "I think it's good for you to stay here, it's Xia Yan's idea to drive you away......"
"Ten Guards, you're so unrighteous! Forget it, just stay and help us keep an eye out for suspicious characters. Natsuhiko motioned for Shaw to stay, and soon after, Mo Mocha and Balmer went to the second floor to meet them.
At that moment, a horn sounded outside the inn, and Oguma came to the casino from downstairs with a dozen men in cotton robes armed with weapons, and it was clear from the snow on their shoes and pants that they had just come out of the snowfield, and it was a very deep snow area.
Balmer immediately stepped forward: "Is the white-veined boss here? This time the formation doesn't seem to be as big as last time!"
"The eldest brother has already arrived, this time we invited Kirk, the bandit leader of the West Mountain, in order to show sincerity, we will not bring too many men......"
As Oguma explained, a middle-aged man with white hair came up the stairs, although he was a robber, but he also looked a little official, and this man said to Okuma: "Xiao Ao, prepare to welcome our guests, and it will be up to you when the time comes!"
After explaining the explanation, he led Oguma and the others into a nearby private room, locked the door and waited for someone to arrive......
"This guy is quite tuggy, isn't he?"
"I just want to duel him, if my guess is accurate......"
"Ahem!!!Did you forget about me? That guy is a centurion, the second-in-command of these guys. When Tea and Xia Yan were talking nonsense, Xiao Yi felt that he was being ignored and stepped on Xia Yan's shoes.
In desperation, Xia Yan wiped his shoes and said, "Centurion, can one person command a hundred people, right? ”
Mo Mocha thought for a moment and said, "I've heard about it when I've traveled around the world, and although I don't know how powerful this one is called Whitevein, Kirk is a well-known bandit, and it's said to be as famous as the leader of the Flying Fish on the West Coast. ”
Balmer interjected and said to them: "Kirk's men have concentrated the bandits and bandits of all strips on the Virginia Plateau and the Ryrdian Plains, and once ambushed the knights of Harais, the former king of Ryrdian, with a hundred men in the Draherd Heights, defeated and killed them, and used their heads to drive a wedge between several heirs of the Ryrdian Kingdom......"
"King Halles, isn't that the current cousin of King Hallas, isn't it so bad......" Tea felt incredulous, but Balmer said to him: "King Halles established the Royal Knights, invincible on the continent, but was defeated and killed in the face of Kirk's surprise attack, which only shows that Kirk is well commanded, and he is also a brave warrior......"
"Do you know the gang led by the old man named Whitevein?" asked the Ten Guards in order to find out as much as possible about the bandits.
Faced with this question, Balmer couldn't answer for a while, touched his nose and squeezed out a few comments: "White lines...... He was a resourceful commander, a grassy nobleman, and the nickname of the white vein was of course a false name, and this man was not good at martial arts, and that Oguma ......"
At this point, he didn't know where to start, so he had to briefly describe it: "White Stripe and Oguma are the Snow Bandits who rose a year ago, and their power has grown rapidly, and now they dominate the Snow Bandits of the Snow Plains...... In short, all the foreign affairs and internal rectification are planned by Bai Wen, and Oguma is an excellent executive......"
"Even if it's a literature and a martial arts, it's not bad to have such a talent among the robbers. Xia Yan commented.
"This is not necessarily, I don't know the past of Baiwen and Okuma, but Oguma is both wise and brave, he can not only be a hundred in battle, but also arrange various strategic plans, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the first hero of the rise of Baiwen's power. ”
Hearing that Balmer was so optimistic about Okumar, Shoey leaned in and whispered, "I almost guessed your gossip, do you suspect that the target is Ogumar?"
He nodded and said, "There is a capacity to do this at the moment, and from the description of the survivor, Oguma was dressed like that during the war, but I'm just guessing...... Ahh......h
"I guessed on my own!" Xiao Yi laughed, this action caused the displeasure of the nearby gamblers, Xia Yan motioned for Xiao Yi to quietly, and when Balmer went to the nearby table to tidy up the table, Xia Yan and the four of them found a place in the casino to sit down, waiting for the game to begin......
