Zhaoyao Town, Xiangyang Street.

Xiangyang Street is the widest and longest street in Zhaoyao Town, leading from the entrance of the town to the foot of Zhaoyao Mountain.

After the establishment of the Sanyang Sect, Yan Wuping ordered people to set up a merchant market at the foot of Zhaoyao Mountain, demarcate land and enclose houses, and rent merchants. Regular patrols were also sent to the military battalion.

Residents in the vicinity knew that the bandits in the Valley of Death had been exterminated, and they came to the market to do business.

Everyone knows that the Sanyang Sect is a righteous sect, and it is safer to do business or live near Zhaoyao Mountain.

Farmers from some surrounding mountain villages simply moved directly to live near Zhaoyao Town.

Even some businesses in remote areas and in Taikunmen have gone to Zhaoyao Town to open branches.

Because there are many people here, and the rent of the Sanyang Sect is cheaper than others, not to mention the safety guarantee.

So, now Zhaoyao Town has become a prosperous town, and the neighborhood is full of traffic and people.

The town was full of people from dawn to dark.

Even in the middle of the night, you'll find that most of the shops are still open, and the lanterns hanging in front of the shops even illuminate the town as bright as daytime.

Not to mention Xiangyang Street, there are too many shops on this street that is fifteen or sixteen miles long, and the carriages carrying goods have to queue up when they enter Xiangyang Street every day.

This is the most lively street in Zhaoyao Town, so every time Xuanyuan Lie goes to Zhaoyao Town to drink or gamble, he likes to come to Xiangyang Street.

Because he naturally likes to be lively and likes to stay in crowded places.

Summer hasn't arrived yet, and the afternoon sun is comfortable and mild.

Xuanyuan Lie was riding an alien beast, slowly trotting down the street of Xiangyang. The Xenobeast didn't run fast because there were so many people on the street.

Fortunately, after half a month of training the Alien Beast, Xuanyuan Lie was already very familiar with its temperament and was able to control it easily.

So this one-foot-long beast ran up the street, dodging left and right, sometimes high and sometimes low, without touching people or stalls at all.

Although there were beasts riding everywhere on Xiangyang Street, the people on the street were still a little frightened when they saw such a big beast pounce.

Seeing the look of surprise and envy on their faces, Xuanyuan Lie smiled.

He is the kind of person who laughs when he wants to, and never uses expressions to hide his feelings.

He was in a good mood, and he had been training the Alien Beast and the Blood Order Banner Martial Camp for the past half month. It's been a long time since I've been to Zhaoyao Town, and the weather is so good today.

When a person is in a good mood, he generally likes to drink and gamble small money.

Xuanyuan Lie was no exception, so he drove the alien beast and ran towards the gambling house.

Yan Wuping originally planned to open a gambling house by Sanyang Sect in Zhaoyao Town, but Wei Taiqing objected: "Gambling is a special industry, and the profits are too lucrative. We should give this piece of fat to the merchants, so that everyone in the world knows the fairness of the Sanyang Sect, so that everyone is willing to come to Zhaoyao Town to develop. ”

Sure enough, more and more large gambling houses in Zhaoyao Town are opening, and there are many well-known big businesses stationed in them.

Now Xuanyuan Lie is going to the largest gambling house in Zhaoyao Town-Zhaocai Gambling House.

Zhaocai Gambling Village is on the south side of Xiangyang Street, and the plaque at the door is made of a piece of good willow wood lacquer, which is engraved with four brilliant characters of "Caitong World".

As soon as Xuanyuan Lie arrived at the door, the two small doormen at the door of the casino saw that it was Xuanyuan Lie, and jumped up happily, they were not pretending to be happy, they were really happy. It's not because Xuanyuan Lie is the second leader of the Sanyang Sect, nor is it because he has more rewards than others. It's because he is a very bold person, he usually treats a few small doormen as friends, never treats them like other guests, and sometimes he drinks with them when he loses money.

Two little doormen hurried over: "Second master! I haven't seen you for a long time, where are you going to be happy these days?"

Xuanyuan Lie laughed and said, "Do you two think that you don't have to make a living, and come to your house every day to send money?" he jumped off the beast and threw the reins.

One of the doormen jumped up to catch the reins and led the Xenotic to a nearby stable to settle in.

Another little doorman hurriedly bent down and smiled and invited Xuanyuan Lie inside: "Second master, do you want to play with beast clothes or push bone bricks today?"

"You can play anything!" Xuanyuan Lie hugged him by the shoulder, and laughed: "As long as you have fun!

Calfskin was also happy: "Yes, what the second master said is very true, I will show you the way." "He hasn't seen the second master for a long time, and he wants to play with the second master.

"Don't don't, don't!" Xuanyuan Lie pushed him away, "You go and do your work, I'll go by myself, it's not like I haven't been here!" He was afraid that Calfskin would gamble with him like last time, and forgot that the guests at the door wanted to take the beast, but the guests couldn't find anyone, and the money was lost and he was angry, if it wasn't for Xuanyuan Lie's presence at the time, he almost beat Calfskin.

Calfskin had no choice but to say, "Then the second master, you go well, win more!" He was a little disappointed.

Xuanyuan Lie waved his hand at him, and strode into the gambling house.

The gambling house was noisy, full of people, some were blushing from gambling, and some were reluctant to leave after losing all and were still watching others gamble.

As soon as Xuanyuan Lie entered the gambling house, he was in a better mood, he liked this kind of place, there was no distinction between dignity and inferiority in this kind of place, only losers and winners.

No one cares who you are, whether it's a sect leader or a little girl, everyone is a gambler when you come here.

He walked to the outermost table in the lobby, the table was surrounded by a group of people, in the center was a middle-aged man in his thirties, with a thin figure, the table in front of him was made of stone, with two big characters engraved on it, "single" and "double", and a horn bowl next to it.

Picking animal clothes is a gambling game that existed in the flood period, that is, using animal skins to dry and make a lot of small balls, and then the dealer grabbed a handful and put it in the horn bowl and covered it on the table. Then the rest of the people buy odd and even numbers. After buying, the dealer uncovers the bowl, counts the beast clothes ball inside, if it is an odd number, then the player who pays the bill wins. If it is an even number, the player who bought the double wins.

Xuanyuan Lie looked at the past, only to see that the copper coins bet on the double word were much more than the copper coins bet on the single word, he didn't say a word, reached into his pocket and took out two silver coins, and bet on the word "single", waiting for the dealer to open the bowl and open the lid.

The salary system of the Sanyang Sect was formulated by Neiyang Building, from the head of the sect to the kitchen washer, and the salary was strictly graded.

In addition to the monthly salary, each believer can also go to Neiyang Building at the end of the month to lead a bonus. These dividends are distributed from the profits earned by the Sanyang Sect in the construction of the city and the rental of the branches in various places, and the amount of dividends is distributed by the Neiyang Building according to the level of each person.

Xuanyuan Lie, as the deputy sect leader of the Sanyang Sect, has a monthly salary of three silver coins, while the salary of an ordinary vegetable washer is only fifty copper coins a month, and Wei Taiqing knows that this second sect leader likes to drink and gamble money, and he deliberately sets aside some of the dividends every month.

Therefore, Xuanyuan Lie can basically get a monthly salary of five or six silver coins every month, one silver coin can be exchanged for a hundred copper coins, and five or six silver coins are almost enough for ordinary people's expenses for a year.

Now that he casually threw the two silver coins on the table, the other people at the table were startled, and when they looked back, it turned out to be the second sect leader.

Xuanyuan Lie often comes here to gamble money, he has a bold personality, naturally everyone knows him, but as soon as everyone sees that it is Xuanyuan Lie, those who have already bet on the word almost want to cry.

Everyone knows that the second leader of the Sanyang Sect loves to gamble by nature, but he almost never wins, he has always gambled on what to lose, if he bets on doubles, no one dares to bet on doubles again.

The dealer saw that it was Xuanyuan Lie, his eyes were also bright, and he greeted with a smile: "Second master, I haven't seen you for many days, and when I see you, I will make such a big deal!"

The most favorite in this gambling house is probably the dealer, because every time Xuanyuan Lie comes, he will lose all the money on his body before leaving.

"What's big, open it!" Xuanyuan Lie said loudly, "I haven't played for many days, and my hands are itchy!"

Everyone also coaxed: "Hurry up!

"The second boss is full of spring breeze today, I think it must be fortune!"

"Put the bank, don't you open it quickly, let the second master take a lottery?"

The dealer was also a little nervous, although Xuanyuan Lie has always lost more and won less, but in case he lost, these two silver coins are definitely not a small amount. He carefully lifted the lid of the bowl, which was probably piled up with dozens of animal skin balls.

The dealer is a man in his thirties, with a thin stature, and his chicken-like hand uses a chopstick, and the balls are cut out and counted.

Everyone also nodded: "Twenty-seven...... Twenty-eight...... Thirty-two! Thirty-three! Single! Open a single!"

Thirty-three, the singular number opened, and the person who bought the word "single" was overjoyed.

Xuanyuan Lie was even more overjoyed, patted the table and said: "Haha, dealer, I won this time, lose money quickly!"

The banker's face was gray, but he was helpless, so he had to take out four silver coins from his pocket and pay Xuanyuan Lie a prize.

What can I do? I can only wait for him to continue to play and then lose back.

The dealer was waiting for Xuanyuan Lie to come a few more.
