Chapter Seventy-Nine: A Copper as a Bet

Casinos, killers, and prostitutes are the three oldest professions in the gray area, and a dynasty will be annihilated in the long river of history over time, but these three professions have never completely disappeared, no matter how a dynasty tries to rectify it, these three professions will always be revived in the ashes.

I used to like to gamble, because my life is really boring, as the little prince of the Qingfeng Dynasty, I don't have to worry about my livelihood, nor do I have to worry about government affairs, the first thing I think about when I open my eyes every day is where to go to play today, what to play?

The bigwigs in the court also want to see a prince like me, who is at the bottom of the ranks, wandering around all day long, not learning and not knowing, and becoming a useless waste dim sum.

The more decadent we are, the happier they are.

If there are two or more ambitious princes in a dynasty, it is definitely not a good thing for the future change of the throne, and a bloody battle for the succession is definitely a nightmare for everyone who mixes the court.

No one dared to guarantee that they would choose the right side, and each of them wanted the dynasty to have only one choice in the event of a change of throne without taking sides.

So the second brother likes beauty, and I like to gamble, not only did the minister stand up and accuse us, but openly and secretly supported us to mess around like this.

The scale of Ruyi Blockade is not the largest in the capital, but its background is the deepest, because I have never seen anyone looking for trouble with it, whether it is the son of the Prime Minister of the country, or the younger brother of General Nangong, every gentleman who goes to the Ruyi Casino to gamble is very well-behaved, and no one dares to bully others, let alone cause trouble in the casino.

This is a force that has been hidden in the dark for many years, as for who is standing behind it, I have never inquired, there was no need to ask for trouble before, and now there is no need to ask clearly, as long as you sense that something is wrong, you can destroy it.

Today, I am the de facto ruler of the Seifeng Dynasty, and although the news that the Emperor and my elder brothers have been buried in the Chamberlain has not yet been heard, it is an indisputable fact that the Imperial City has been buried by the snow that has fallen from the Seifeng Mountain.

The world has not yet been in turmoil because people have not yet come out of the shadow of war, once the situation is stabilized, those careerists hidden in the dark will definitely not let go of this golden opportunity to fight, after all, the temptation to become an emperor is not ordinary, it is worth risking their lives.

Since the power behind Ruyi Gambling House is so huge that it can't be seen, whether it will hinder my eldest brother's descendants from taking charge of the Qingfeng Dynasty in the future, today I will use them to deter the world's heroes, and let those careerists know that although I am the only one left in my Liu family, I am not the one they provoked.

When I walked to the gate of the Ruyi Gambling House, the four guards guarding the gate were obviously stunned for a moment, obviously they didn't expect that I, the little prince, would still be in the mood to go out of the palace to visit the casino when the dynasty was in the midst of a great change.

However, they still politely welcomed me through the door, after all, I am a regular customer of the Ruyi Casino, and they have no reason to stop me from coming to play two hands.

Walking through the door, a familiar noise mixed with the smell of sweat and fat powder came to my face.

The five tables in the hall were full of people, and everyone who was gambling on the excitement was red and sweaty, and they kept shouting loudly to cheer for the cards in their hands, as if the louder they shouted, the bigger the cards would be.

"You guys are really interested," I walked down a few steps in the hall slowly, and said to everyone in the hall with a smile, "It's rare that everyone gathers together today to open this gambling game, how about making Prince Ben a big dealer?"

My voice was not loud, but it was clear to everyone present, as if I was standing next to them and whispering.

Everyone in the hall turned their heads to look at me, their faces were shocked, as if they had seen a monster, and the noisy hall like a vegetable market was instantly quiet and could be heard.

"What's the matter, don't you welcome me to join?" I casually took the wine glass from the plate in the hand of a maid beside me, and said to everyone again with a smile, "Today, the gambling money in the king's hand is very sufficient."

"Of course we welcome His Royal Highness the Prince to join the gambling game," a fat man got up and said with a smile on his face, "Our brothers finally got together and had fun, there are not many opportunities like this."

With that, he kicked away a skinny guy next to him and asked him to give up his seat for me.

"How embarrassing is it to let the son of the Chen Yushi family give up his seat for me?" I politely said embarrassed words, but the person sat down in the vacant seat without even a little embarrassment.

"It's rare that His Royal Highness the Prince is in high spirits today," said a young man sitting in the dealer seat opposite me, "Let's gamble today."

"Okay," I laughed and said, "Lu Xiaohou is really a cheerful person, so the little brother might as well be respectful."

I sat at a table where the dice were rolled to determine the size of the pip, which was a game of luck that was quick and easy.

Of course, this is also the most likely gambling equipment to be used to cheat.

"Your Highness, please, please bet," the young man I called Lu Xiaohou Ye picked up the dice cup with both hands, shook it lightly, and then put it on the table and said to me.

I groped with my hands on my body, and after a while I found a copper through the gap in the cloth belt in my bosom, which was the smallest coin in the world, and could buy two of the coarsest flatbreads.

When everyone saw me groping for a long time, they only took out a copper and began to laugh.

"Your Royal Highness, if you are shy, you can open your mouth and borrow a little from us," said a little white face with a pale face that looked like overindulgence at first glance.

"This young master doesn't bother to work, this king will never gamble on empty positions" I calmly threw the copper into a pile of gold and silver, this copper is as shabby as it is in the gold and silver that exudes golden light, but I don't take the ridicule of everyone to heart at all, as if the copper thrown on the table has nothing to do with me.

The so-called empty position is a name for a penniless person who sits at the table to gamble, which is one of the most despised gambling methods, and people with a little status disdain to do it.

"Qiu Shao, don't disturb His Highness Yaxing," the young man sitting in the village stopped everyone's laughter, "Although a copper is small, it is still a bet, Your Highness is sure to buy a small one?"

"Of course," I said lightly, "The so-called money to the casino is like a person to the law, how can there be a reason to take it back?

The light man known as Lu Xiaohou Ye smiled and opened the dice cup.

"One, two, four, seven o'clock small" Lu Xiaohou Ye looked at the idea in the dice cup and said, "Your Highness is lucky, you won"

I won, but the dealer has no money to pay me, because the smallest silver ingot on the table is more than ten taels, that is to say, the smallest silver ingot is also worth 10,000 copper, you let this group of non-rich and expensive people go out and never bring copper to find a copper to compensate me?

"It's okay," I said to Lu Xiaohouye, who looked embarrassed, "Now my copper is worth two, can it be counted?"

"Of course, everyone here is a human witness, and His Highness's copper has appreciated in value, so it can be counted as two," Lu Xiaohou Ye smiled and said to the people around him, "Can you agree?"

"Of course" no one will embarrass Lu Xiaohou and speak out against it.

The game continued, and when the dice cup was set again, I threw the copper that had just appreciated onto the big print on the table.

"Two, one, two is small again" Lu Xiaohou Ye smiled at me again and said, "Congratulations, Your Highness, you have won again"

Lu Xiaohou Ye has a good reputation in the capital's squirting circles, because he is the youngest son of Lu Dingtian, the only big man in my Qingfeng Dynasty who has been canonized as a duke, and the people who gather in the Ruyi Gambling House today to gamble are all the descendants of important ministers in the court.

These characters are rare to see on weekdays, but now they all appear in the small casino of Ruyifang, and everyone understands what it means.

After the war, the capital is at its weakest, the emperor has died in the palace, there is not one of the soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army who defend the capital, and the most elite troops of the dynasty are scattered on the front line in the north, although they are gathering to prepare to return to the capital in the starry night, but it will take time.

At this time, if there are highly respected people in the capital, they will gather the forces of all parties to break into the imperial city and eradicate the remnants of the Liu family in the palace in one fell swoop, and it is not impossible to disintegrate the Qingfeng Dynasty and change the dynasty.

I broke into their game at this very moment.
