The Boy's Journey Chapter 39 The Gambling House
The next day, the sky was clear.
It was a rare good weather, so the caravan was called up early to hurry. Ma Shun and Wang Yi are naturally no exception, and they have no privileges as guards.
Wang Yi's injuries a few days ago are already good, all thanks to Li Chunfeng's "Spring Breeze Crossing". In fact, Wang Yi felt this way when he killed Zhang Xianzong last time, and his injuries improved at an incredible speed at that time, so he had the basis for assassinating Liu Cheng for the second time.
However, after several life-and-death battles, coupled with his own practice in the room after parting ways with Ma Shun on the roof yesterday, Wang Yi has finally stepped into the realm of Tongxuan, compared with the usual gathering of spirits, Wang Yi's current combat effectiveness is a qualitative leap.
The caravan moved slowly, Wang Yi and Ma Shun because they were guards, but because Wang Yi was injured they could have special care in the carriage, and now Wang Yi was able to move around, it stands to reason that he should not be able to take the carriage anymore, but the merchant lady generously did not take back the carriage, but let Wang Yi and Ma Shun continue to ride, which made Ma Shun smile a little from ear to ear.
For Shang Niang, Wang Yi only saw it from a distance when he set off this morning, and it didn't look like a country or a city, it was another charm, a lily that bloomed in the rain, quiet and elegant.
Looking at the scenery along the way, Wang Yi suddenly thought of the matter of Dongyang Mountain, and immediately asked, "Brother Ma, what about the trial of Dongyang Mountain." ”
"Emperor Ming has just issued an order to postpone it for three years. ”
Ma Shun is not a character who can stay in the carriage for a long time, so Ma Shun offered to drive the carriage this morning, and Shang Niang did not refuse Ma Shun's proposal, because someone told her not to pay attention to Ma Shun and Wang Yi in the caravan, but they would help a lot when they checked on the road, so Shang Niang met all the requirements of the two of them.
"Three years later. Wang Yi was very surprised, after all, there has never been a precedent for the Dongyang Mountain trial after the Baizi Banquet, so that the time for revenge will be delayed, but now it seems that he can't do it if he wants to take revenge, so he can only go to Nanchu first and wait until he comes back.
"Like you, I was also surprised at the time, but whatever he is, it's that you can't run away, it's not that you can't keep it. ”
Ma Shun rarely said something philosophical, and was about to listen to Wang Yi praise himself, but Wang Yi was still immersed in the news of the postponement of the Dongyang Mountain trial and ignored him, which made Ma Shun feel a big blow.
Time passed little by little, and finally came to a large town, which was far away from Chang'an and close to the boundary of Xiangzhou.
Xiangzhou has been the center of the Central Plains since ancient times, and it is located on a plain, surrounded by mountains. In the distance, there is a big river called the Qiantang River. One of the most famous scenes of the Qiantang River is that on August 18, there will be a magnificent landscape of the tide of the Qiantang River, which has attracted countless literati and scholars.
There will be a market for someone.
Therefore, at this time of year, there will be a lot of caravans in Xiangzhou City to come here for business exchanges, which is quite prosperous.
The caravan's goal was to go to Xiangzhou City, and there was still some time before August 18, so they were not in a hurry.
The town in front is called Ganzhou City, here is the first town out of Chang'an into Xiangzhou, due to the geographical location, it is very prosperous here, and has the reputation of small Chang'an.
After the caravan entered Ganzhou City, they first found an inn, and then the merchant lady waved her hand and very heroically chartered the entire inn as their resting place, because they wanted to take it to Ganzhou City for more than half a month.
After the merchant lady settled everyone down, she took people to talk about business, leaving only a few people to guard the inn, Wang Yi was not completely well, so he was left by Ma Shun to stay in the inn with the rest of the people.
Sitting in the room of the inn, taking in the scenery of Ganzhou City, Wang Yi was in a rare good mood, and slowly flipped through the books he bought from the entrusted shop. It's been a long time since the last time he read a book, and Wang Yi is also a little distressed, after all, he can't calm down and read books recently.
But as a guard, Wang Yi's attention was still on the safety around the inn, observing the surrounding situation at any time. Wang Yi's current cultivation is through the Xuan, and the starlight of the Xuanxuan Realm is slowly changing his left leg, and the obvious difference between the starlight of the Xuanxuan Realm and the starlight of the Gathering Spirit is the difference in intensity and quantity.
Tongxuan's cultivation made Wang Yi begin to perceive some changes in the surrounding world, such as the flowers and trees that the blazing sun is shining on now, Wang Yi can sense that they are absorbing the sun's starlight, and those plants that absorb the starlight actually have a little spirituality in Wang Yi's opinion, and if there is enough time, it will inevitably be able to give birth to spiritual wisdom.
This seems to Wang Yi to be a bit incredible, you must know that no plant has ever given birth to spiritual wisdom so far, and the main reason is the destruction of people to them. Sometimes, people destroy these flowers and trees for various reasons, so it is still difficult for them to give birth to spiritual wisdom.
Suddenly, Gu Changhe appeared in Wang Yi's field of vision, and this kid sneakily walked out of the inn and walked in one direction. Wang Yi was slightly stunned, remembering what Ma Shun said last night, hesitated for a moment, said hello to Jinyiwei's subordinates, and followed.
Gu Changhe first came to an antique pawn shop, and when he entered it, he looked left and right, and only after making sure that it was safe, did he enter the pawn shop.
After a while, Gu Changhe walked out with a smile, his sleeves flicked up, and walked in the other direction. Wang Yi glanced at the pawn shop and remembered the name, and then followed Gu Changhe again.
It is the so-called drunken foot thinking yinyu.
As a prosperous town, Ganzhou City has a famous gambling house, where you can get rich overnight. Went bankrupt overnight and committed suicide by jumping into the river, there is. But more often than not, people are caught up in gambling and can't extricate themselves.
Gu Changhe walked into one of the gambling houses and observed the situation on the gambling table with ease. Wang Yi followed him, pretending to be a veteran, looking at everything around him. For Wang Yi, the gambling house is a place that Wang Yi often went to when he was a child, because the chief of the guard of the Qi Wangfu, who claimed to be the No. 1 dealer in Youzhou, carried him in the major gambling houses when Wang Yi was six years old.
Everyone's face in the gambling house was full of excitement and greed, no one noticed Wang Yi's walk-in, and Gu Changhe was no exception. He quickly found a table and began to gamble.
After a few bets, the silver and silver tickets in front of Gu Changhe began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye. Naturally, Gu Changhe will not be satisfied with the current harvest, and increase the number of silver coins and begin to raise.
Wang Yi stood aside and shook his head. With Tong Xuan's cultivation, he obviously sensed that there was a faint starlight circulating on the opposite dealer's body, and it seemed that Gu Changhe was going to lose.
Sure enough, in the angry shouts of Gu Changhe's failure and the sighs of the people around him, Gu Changhe failed a game.
Wang Yi turned around and slowly walked out of the gambling house. Looking at the people coming in and out of the gambling house at the end of the street, Wang Yi shook his head, he was really a poor person who was lacking in people's hearts and didn't know how to work hard and make money with his skills.
Later, Wang Yi went to a pawn shop.
Soon Wang Yi returned to the inn and sat there quietly reading a book.
When the time came to evening, everyone returned to the inn and sat in the lobby to eat dinner. Ma Shun said with a smile: "Wang Yi, have you seen that businesswoman talking about business with people, if you are a man, you may be able to achieve a great career." ”
Wang Yi took a bite of green vegetables and said, "Why can't a woman?"
Ma Shun scratched his head, "Hehe, women have to marry after all, but today's view of Shang Niang is to look up to it." ”
Wang Yi ignored Ma Shun's words, his eyes were looking at Gu Changhe, who was sitting at the table next to him, with a depressed expression. He was cautiously eating his supper and did not speak, as if he was deliberately reducing his presence.
Gu Changhe seemed to feel Wang Yi's gaze, looked up at Wang Yi, and then quickly lowered his head and ate quickly.
After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms. Wang Yi opened the window and stood there just in time to see everything in the corridor, this position was chosen, after all, the safety of a caravan was in the hands of the seven of them.
"You're going too far. ”
Wang Yi's ears suddenly heard a quarrel, and when he looked at the sound, it was Shang Niang standing at the door of Gu Changhe's room, pointing at Gu Changhe and scolding: "Gu Changhe, you are really too much, that hairpin is the only relic left to me by your brother, and you actually took him away." ”
Although Gu Changhe knew that he was wrong, he was bold and shouted loudly: "What's there, it's just a hairpin, and I'll pay you back ten when I have money." ”
Shang Niang's face was flushed with anger, and her arm pointing at Gu Changhe trembled slightly, tears began to flow on her face, but she didn't cry, and then turned around and ran outside.
Gu Changhe looked at the back of the merchant lady leaving, pursed his lips, and walked into the house.
Wang Yi frowned slightly, then walked out of the room and followed Shang Niang. At the door not far away, there was a Jinyi guard's person who wanted to follow, but he was stopped by Ma Shun who suddenly appeared, looking at Wang Yi's back chasing, Ma Shun showed a smile you know to the Jinyi guard's people, and then the Jinyi guard's people also nodded, indicating that their own adults are really amazing.
Wang Yi did not deliberately keep up with Shang Niang, and always kept a distance from Shang Niang, just to ensure her safety from a distance. The merchant lady held the pawn ticket in her hand and walked towards a pawnbroker, Wang Yi raised her head and looked at the name of the pawn shop, it was the one that Gu Changhe and himself had entered, and it was really a lot of distance from the inn, and it was difficult for the weak woman of the merchant to come here.
"Click. ”
There was a thunderclap in the sky, and the people around them began to hurriedly clean up their stalls to avoid not returning home before the heavy rain came.
Wang Yi looked at the pawn shop in the distance, then looked at the merchant who had not come out, walked to a shop that was about to go home, and bought two umbrellas.
Then, Wang Yi stood under the eaves, quietly waiting for the merchant to come out of the pawn shop.
