Chapter 44: Assassination
At this time, the dice cup in the dealer's hand was settled, but he stood in place in a daze, unwilling to open the dice cup in his hand.
"What's going on? Open the dice cup! Why don't you uncover the cup? β
Soon, some of the eunuchs in the crowd who had followed Zhu Jingxuan and placed heavy bets saw this, and immediately became anxious and clamoured.
It's just that, in the face of everyone's clamour, this new dealer is desperately pressing the dice cup in his hand on the table, unwilling to open it.
"That's it! All right! Lao Chen, open the dice cup! β
Soon, Lao Chen, the dealer who was familiar with the voice, immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then opened the dice cup without any burden.
Immediately after, amid the cheers of the eunuchs who were betting behind Zhu Jingxuan, Zhu Jingxuan slowly looked up.
I saw that three people dressed in eunuch clothes had already walked to the side of the newcomer.
"This little brother, does he look a little naΓ―ve?" A eunuch who looked a little honest asked Zhu Jingxuan with a smile.
"What's the matter, when I come to your side to gamble, you still have to check your ID card...... Do you still have to check your household registration? Zhu Jingxuan played with the chips in his hand and replied to the other party lightly.
"That's not it, it's just that our family is curious and asks casually." After explaining a sentence to the honest eunuch, he invited Zhu Jingxuan and said, "Your Excellency has superb gambling skills, and it is too boring to play a little outside here, do you want to ...... Going to the backroom? β
"Backroom?"
Zhu Jingxuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and at the same time he thought in his heart, is this what the old eunuch said, which is very exciting?
Sure enough, soon, in Zhu Jingxuan's heart, the old eunuch's voice came: "Promise him, that's what I told you, the place of excitement." β
Since the old eunuch said so, Zhu Jingxuan had nothing to do, and immediately agreed with a slight bow.
Soon, Zhu Jingxuan pulled the old eunuch beside him, and under the envious gaze of everyone, he followed the three eunuchs and entered the curtain.
As far as the eye can see, there is a slightly dimly lit realm, with a table and a few chairs, as well as many yellow and white objects scattered on the ground.
Seeing this, Zhu Jingxuan couldn't help but look at the old eunuch beside him with a little puzzlement - this is the so-called stimulation in your mouth?
Excuse me...... What's so exciting about this?
If it weren't for the fact that this was the palace, and Zhu Jingxuan, as the emperor, was guarded by the Great Array for Protecting the Country, he really had to wonder if the old eunuch beside him was unwilling to be subordinate, and was ready to kill himself directly.
But even if he is still in the palace now, Zhu Jingxuan does not dare to be careless.
What if they find a way to break the formation?
At this time, Zhu Jingxuan, who had already secretly colluded with the palace's guard array, and was ready to kill everyone present as soon as he found out that something was wrong, suddenly heard an introduction in his ears: "This is just a transit station, you two only need to step into this teleportation array, and you can go to the 'back room'." β
Zhu Jingxuan followed the prestige, and saw the eunuch with a simple face, using mana slightly, setting off a breeze here.
With the breeze sweeping the dust on the ground aside, suddenly, a simple teleportation array came into Zhu Jingxuan's eyes.
Zhu Jingxuan took a deep look at this teleportation array, then shook his head with a chuckle and said, "Forget it...... Now that I think about it, I just wanted to come here to win some money, and now that I've earned enough, I won't bother you anymore, and I will take my leave! β
As he spoke, Zhu Jingxuan bowed his hand slightly, and immediately turned around, wanting to leave this place.
It's just that at this time, the old eunuch who followed Zhu Jingxuan looked very stunned and sent a message to Zhu Jingxuan: "Your Majesty, why are you leaving?" Didn't the slave tell you before, this so-called back room is a good place, as long as you go in, the slave and maid promise Your Majesty that you will keep the excitement! β
"I suddenly remembered just now that there are still many twists and turns that have not yet been corrected, and I really can't be a faint king!" After Zhu Jingxuan chuckled and passed a word to the old eunuch, he immediately didn't stop, and was directly ready to withdraw from the curtain.
It's just that......
"What do you mean, little father-in-law? Do you want to leave after winning? The thin eunuch suddenly stepped forward and stopped in front of Zhu Jingxuan, and then said this sadly.
"Huh? That's weird! What's the matter, if you open a gambling house together, only gamblers are allowed to lose, and gamblers are not allowed to win, right? β
Zhu Jingxuan glanced at this person as if he was not angry, but he did not hesitate in his heart, and immediately hooked up with the palace array, preparing to use thunderous means to directly kill everyone present.
But......
The power of the great array was mobilized, but Zhu Jingxuan found that he only mobilized the power of the great array, but no matter what, he could not fully exert the power of this array.
But on the other side, the thin man had already made a brazen shot at Zhu Jingxuan.
"It's not...... Lao Liu, what are you doing here? β
Seeing that the thin eunuch was directly attacking Zhu Jingxuan, the other two eunuchs who were with him on the side couldn't help but exclaim.
No...... He won a few thousand taels of silver, so why not?
For the sake of a few thousand taels of silver, do they want to kill people?
What's more, as long as he is allowed to go to the back room, someone will win all the money on him, so why should they dirty their hands?
Seeing that someone was going to be murderous, Zhu Jingxuan couldn't help but be horrified in his heart, and at the critical moment, Zhu Jingxuan was blessed to the heart, and bombarded the thin eunuch with a punch.
And then......
"Poof!"
The thin eunuch who looked very awesome didn't even survive a move under Zhu Jingxuan's hands, and was directly punched in the head by Zhu Jingxuan.
Looking at the scene of red and white sprinkling out, Zhu Jingxuan ......
"Gross!"
Zhu Jingxuan couldn't help but vomit.
"Your Majesty, are you alright?"
It's just that at this moment, in the face of the sudden assassination of the thin eunuch, he looked like the old eunuch who was stunned and didn't react...... That is, Zhu Jingxuan's guards, only at this time did they rush forward, as if they wanted to support Zhu Jingxuan.
"Your Majesty?"
"Your Majesty?"
As for the other two eunuchs who worked with the thin eunuch, they were still hesitating, what they were going to do to Zhu Jingxuan, when they suddenly heard the old eunuch's shout, the two eunuchs couldn't help but widen their eyes.
