Chapter 103: A Journey of a Thousand Miles
Out of Hangzhou in the west, through Huangshan, into the Huainan boundary, Zhou Ziheng drove the "cloud car" to carry Xiao Ding, Tang Qingqing, Ye Rongqiu galloped on the official road back to Shu.
This trip is thousands of miles away, and it takes half a month to reach Shu.
Even if Tang Qingqing returns to his heart like an arrow, he can't help it, he can't stand it for a long time, people can stand it, but horses can't stand it, so he has to replenish the forage and trim the horse's hooves at any time. Fortunately, after Xiaoding's relief, she has let go of the guilt in her heart and no longer carries the guilt.
Along the way, Xiao Ding carefully analyzed the current situation of the Evergreen Dart Bureau, and constantly comforted Tang Qingqing, telling her that although the Evergreen Dart Bureau was facing disintegration, her father would not be in any danger for the time being.
"Everything was caused by Shen Xiang'er's cheap woman, she was the initiator, I skinned her sooner or later." Tang Qingqing scolded viciously.
Her hatred for Shen Xiang'er has gone deep into her bone marrow.
Xiao Ding looked at Tang Qingqing's pretending to be fierce and couldn't help but smile and said, "Although Shen Xiang'er has some means, she is just a tool after all, and the force behind her is the reason for threatening your father." “
Tang Qingqing snorted coldly, no matter what Xiao Ding said, she decided that she would not let go of this woman, in her heart, her mother died because of this woman.
"Regardless of whether the forces behind Shen Xiang'er are the Blue Dragon Society or the Money Gang, I believe that the Dragon Capture Gate has already intervened, and we are not alone." Ye Rongqiu's gaze revealed a resolute look.
"This is what I have always been puzzled about, according to Uncle Tang, when he followed Shen Xiang as a child that day, he met a masked man, who was dressed in the same way as the Money Gang, and his martial arts were unfathomable, and asked Uncle Tang if he had ever heard of the Money Gang. With Uncle Tang's cultivation, coupled with the deterrence of Biluo needles, he couldn't even touch a corner of that person's clothes, I had never heard Master say that there were such powerful characters in the rivers and lakes, and why the Money Gang appeared, why the Blue Dragon Club was no longer involved, such as the Eight Great Dart Bureau, isn't it the business category they covet. Xiao Ding leaned against the window and kept pinching his brows.
"Do you suspect that the Money Gang and the Blue Dragon Society are not a cooperative relationship, but the same group of people are manipulating?" Ye Rongqiu's mouth opened wide, Xiao Ding's assumption was too bold.
Xiao Ding smiled bitterly: "I'm not sure, I just think it's a little unreasonable, if these two forces are in a cooperative relationship, why haven't the Dragon Capture Gate and all kinds of martial arts people even found any clues." “
Ye Rongqiu was silent for a moment, thinking about Xiao Ding's words, and suddenly felt that this was really the case. For example, at the martial arts conference held in Shaolin a few months ago, the Blue Dragon Society used all means to snatch the secret letter, but there was no trace of the Money Gang, and the Nangong family had already semi-openly defected to the Blue Dragon Society, but they never interfered in the business of the Money Gang on the territory of Shuzhong, and the Dragon Gate did not find any information about the Blue Dragon Society in Shuzhong, could it be that some kind of agreement had been reached between them? Or is it as Xiao Ding said, behind these two forces, is the same wave of people secretly manipulating?
"There's one more thing that's more of a headache." Xiao Ding sighed helplessly.
Tang Qingqing smiled: "Did you sneak in to see your Ruyi son when you were taking a shower and give you a headache?" “
Xiao Ding glanced at her, frowned, and said: "If the Evergreen Dart Bureau continues to operate, the benefit will naturally be the money gang that is secretly manipulated, right, but the Ruyi son blatantly robbed the dart and ruined the Evergreen Dart Bureau, which is obviously cutting off the money gang's financial route, and openly arguing with it, who will have this kind of power in ordinary people?" “
Ye Rongqiu asked puzzledly: "Ruyi Gongzi and the Money Gang are on the bar, holding each other back, plus the Dragon Gate and us, shouldn't the Money Gang be the headache?" “
"Ruyi Gongzi behaves strangely and ruthlessly, although we are all fighting against the Money Gang, but we are not on the same road, and until this moment, we still don't know his true identity, we don't know his ultimate goal, do you say you have a headache?" Xiao Ding smiled bitterly.
"Besides, even I have a headache." Tang Qingqing felt that if he listened to them any longer, his head would explode.
"Do you think Sikong Picking Moon will really find some useful news?" Ye Rongqiu also sighed.
At the mention of Sikong Picking the Moon, Xiao Ding couldn't help but smile and said: "Don't underestimate that thin monkey, although he usually looks cynical, in fact, he is as good as a monkey, coupled with his clever disguise and supreme light skills, he can naturally find out some useful things." “
"I just hope he doesn't go to the gambling house to gamble, gambling for a long time and making mistakes......" Xiao Ding seemed to mutter.
……
Xiao Ding really knows about Sikong Picking Moon, just like Xuanyuan not only dares to bet with Sikong Picking Moon, because they all know that people who often soak in the gambling house will always be unable to help it, especially when they have a lot of silver tickets on their bodies.
Sikong Jieyue was a little unable to move at the moment, because there was a gambling house in front of him.
"Hengyun" gambling house.
Hengyun means that there will always be good luck, but I don't know whether it is the banker's eternal good luck or the gambler's eternal good luck, whose luck can always be good?
Sikong Jieyue sighed, not only did he promise Xiao Ding that he would never enter the gambling house when he came to Shuzhong this time, but also made a bet with Xuanyuan not only that if he lost, he would learn to bark as a dog.
"But who will know if you go in quietly, just gamble, gamble and leave, and never love war." When he was about to go to the gambling house, he suddenly thought: "No, no, no, that rotten gambler must be staring in the dark, and as soon as I enter, he will suddenly jump out and point at me and laugh, and will tell me to learn to bark three times in public." ”
Sikong Jieyue wandered in front of the Hengyun Gambling House, and after several struggles in his heart, he still couldn't make up his mind, and he was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks.
Suddenly, a man who looked like a guy came out of the gambling house, he walked straight to Sikong Jieyue, and asked with a smile: "Dare to ask if it's Uncle Sikong, there is an uncle upstairs who asked me to hand over this letter to you." ”
What, a letter?
Sikong Jieyue took the envelope and opened it, only to see that the letter read: "Brother Sikong, I have arrived in Shu, it is inconvenient to talk outside, please go upstairs to the Hengyun Gambling House quickly, there is something important to discuss." “
Signed: Xiao Ding.
Sikong picked the moon and was overjoyed, thinking, this stinky boy is finally here, and I know that I must have something urgent to delay if I haven't returned to Hangzhou City for a long time.
He strode into the Hengyun Gambling House, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind: No, Xiao Ding's stinky boy will never politely call me Brother Sikong, this letter is fake!
"Hahaha, rotten gambler, I've disappointed you, I will never enter the gambling house in these twenty days, oh no, I won't even enter half a step, you just wait to do that thing for me." Sikong Picking Moon laughed upstairs at the Hengyun Casino.
"Ge Laozi, this thin monkey is really better than a monkey." Xuanyuan not only scolded secretly from the upper floor of the gambling house.
"Looks like you're going to lose to him." Liu Yunfei leaned lazily on a big chair, his injuries had almost recovered, and Hua Tuo's medical skills were really good.
"No way, you don't understand, a person who often soaks in the gambling house, if he doesn't go for a few days, he will be bored and panicked, let alone this skinny monkey, there are still twenty days, I will always have a way to let him in." Xuanyuan said with a strange smile.
"Interesting?" Liu Yunfei really couldn't figure out why Xuanyuan and Sikong Jieyue would make such a meaningless bet, but also enjoy it.
Xuanyuan not only looked back at Liu Yunfei, opened his mouth, and then closed it again, Liu Yunfei, a person who never gambled, couldn't experience the happiness of people like them, and no matter how he explained it, he wouldn't understand.
Some people gamble, not for the result, but to enjoy the process of that kind of game, in that process, they can strategize, cheat, fight wits and courage, and never get tired of it.
That's why gambling is addictive.
