readx;? It's open!
Hurry up and place a bet, at most a stick of incense time, expired does not wait!
At this time, just after the hour, but the Xinglong gambling house located in Xinglong Street, Xifang, Chang'an was already overcrowded, and a white-haired dealer simply stood on a gambling table and shouted loudly, directing the gamblers who were crowded together to separate and not to mess up the order.

Because of the political decadence in the last years of the Sui Dynasty, the local government even directly cooperated with the **** strongman to jointly open casinos, resulting in a lot of gambling disasters, which caused many disadvantages that undermined the order of people's livelihood, so Taizong Li Shimin once ruled that gambling was banned.
However, since Prime Minister Li Linfu came to power, the government has not been repaired, so the large and small gambling houses and casinos have sprung up like small mushrooms after the rain, but there is only one really big casino in each city, and there is a very hard backer behind each one.
Li Xuan was dressed in a Western Regions style robe and a big round hat, and he was dressed as a Western Regions Hu man again.
At this time, the Silk Road was flourishing, and the orchids dancing in Chang'an City could often be seen, and there were naturally many Hu people who were familiar with the official language, which would not arouse suspicion at all.
Of course, the reason why he came to this casino was not to gamble for money, but to find someone to help, those guys from the Soul Chasing Sect were simply too crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, and they haven't shown up recently;
According to the information provided by Xie Lingyun, this casino is one of the sources of wealth of the Soul Chasing Sect in Chang'an, and if you want to find someone from the Soul Chasing Sect, you should come here.
It's just that Li Xuan didn't expect that the casino in this era would be so spectacular, the interior furnishings are gorgeous and exquisite, and the wide corridors connect the gambling halls one by one, and the maids who shuttle between them are all white-skinned and beautiful, with exquisite curves, and youthful and attractive.
"Brother, I just returned to Chang'an yesterday, what are they betting on?" Li Xuanzheng sighed at the development of the entertainment industry in this era, and heard a middle-aged man in front of him who was wide and fat curiously asked his companion.
"There are three bets in total, one bet on whether the silver-haired man has the courage to fight, the second bet on the death and injury of the Royal Forest Army, and the third bet on whether the silver-haired man survives. A tall and thin man dressed as a scribe next to him couldn't help but respond excitedly.
"Isn't Xinglong's backstage Gao Aweng?" Hearing his friend's response, the fat man who asked the question was startled, and lowered his voice in disbelief.
At this time, Gao Lishi was the most trusted person of Xuanzong Li Longji, even the prince of the East Palace should also call him the second brother, and the people in the market should also call Ah Weng on their faces, and they dare not have the slightest disrespect.
"What's this, even the joy hall on the Yang family's side has also opened this bet, and now the whole world is talking about this matter, if it is not opened here, I am afraid that the old customers and regular customers will go to those small gambling stalls. His friend disagreed: "Do you know that just because those small gambling stalls dare to bet on whether the emperor will abolish the concubine, they are ten times more prosperous than usual! ”
"Cut, isn't this game clearly going to lose! I think that silver sideburns man just wants to persuade him to death, how can he win the thousand-man Imperial Forest Army!" The short and fat middle-aged man shook his head and laughed.
Li Xuan smiled slightly when he heard it in the back, since he saw the Star Sect Master Fenghuan that day, the second **** called Tang Xuanzong Li Longji in the air, asking him if he had the courage to take a big gamble.
Li Xuan will fight a thousand with one pick, and if he loses, he will naturally die, so that the royal family and traitorous ministers will be clean, but as long as he wins, Li Longji will abolish Yang Guifei and expel the Yang sisters from the palace!
This time the sound in the sky simply detonated the entire Chang'an City, from the emperor's relatives to the village women and pawns, everyone was thrown into the heated discussion.
Is Silver Sideburns crazy? Don't want to live?
Does he want to completely fool the royal family in the end, or does he want to learn from that heart-to-heart comparison and use death to warn the emperor?
On this day, relatives and friends gathered, confidants talked, the restaurant and teahouse were full, everywhere was discussed, meeting was judgment; even in the palace, the eunuchs and palace maids were also unbearable, it is said that the emperor smashed the favorite Kowloon Cup on weekdays, and the concubine sisters gathered to cry.
Li Xuan is very satisfied with the current situation, Li Longji will definitely agree, otherwise he will no longer be able to maintain the imperial majesty accumulated for decades, so he must also prepare for the next tough battle.
He kept trying to walk through the corridor, and then after pinching off the forearm of a casino guard, Li Xuan was led to a private room on the second floor.
The person in charge of receiving Li Xuan was a tall and thin old man with sunken cheeks, who looked like a zombie violently, exuding the arrogance of Lao Tzu, and looking at Li Xuan was like looking at a lamb to the slaughter.
When Li Xuan took off the round hat on his head, revealing his silver-white sideburns, a drop of sweat flowed silently from the old man's face.
He tried to pull the corners of his mouth and tried to show a smile, but because his facial muscles did not cooperate, his face was even more ugly than just now.
"Fetch a pen and paper. Knowing that the other party had guessed his identity, Li Xuan unceremoniously opened his mouth and ordered.
"Now, please sit down for tea. The thin old man hurriedly went to the table to get a pen and paper and placed it respectfully in front of Li Xuan.
"I'll tell you, you write it. Li Xuanjing took the cup of freshly brewed tea on the table, glanced at the thin old man, and said.
"Okay, okay, you just say. The thin old man nodded, he knew in his heart that there were no taboos now, and there was no place to redress his grievances if he was killed.
Five hundred solid iron balls the size of eggs, a bucket of kerosene, and fifty sacks of the strongest linen.
What is this for?
After the thin old man recorded everything according to his instructions, he couldn't help but look at the killing god on the opposite side in confusion.
"Prepare it for me in twenty days, or I'll raze this place to the ground and burn it clean!" Li Xuan slammed the teacup on the table and threatened viciously.
"Rest assured, we've got you covered. The murderous old man felt that it was a little difficult to breathe, so he hurriedly agreed.
"By the way, I'm betting on myself to win, 10,000 taels. Li Xuan nodded with satisfaction, put his hat back on, and slapped a silver ticket on the table before turning to leave.
Less than a cup of tea after Li Xuan left the Xinglong Gambling House, the paper recorded by the thin old man had already arrived at the Cui Rong Courtyard, which was two streets away, a century-old shop dealing in treasures, jewelry and jade.
The Soul Chasing Sect Master carefully pondered the words on the paper twice, her brows furrowed slightly, even with her breadth of knowledge, it was hard to imagine what these things were used for!
"Sect Master, do the evil spirits want to use these as secret weapons?" Yan Mei, the Yan Bee next to her, couldn't help but guess: "That guy has great strength, even if it is a solid iron ball the size of an egg, it can throw the speed of ordinary darts. ”
"I don't think so, if you want to use this iron ball as a hidden weapon, wouldn't it be better to choose an iron mandarin duck or a three-pointed Qiankun circle, with his huge strength is enough to throw that kind of large hidden weapon at a rather terrifying speed, and it is also a good way to use it against the army. The Soul Chasing Sect Master shook his head.
"Then should we pass on this news to the Huanhua Palace?" asked Yan Mei cautiously.
"There's no need, we have released Xiao Shiqing before, and we can be regarded as having reached a reconciliation with Chu Qiuyan, now there is no need to keep it in such a low voice, just to do a favor to a friend. The Soul Chasing Sect Master shook his head and said, "Chu Qiuyan has arrived in Chang'an, it seems that this time she has made up her mind to kill the evil spirits. ”
"Hahahaha, it's the first time in my life that I've seen Chu Qiuyan so angry, after Xie Qingliu found another way to cultivate the Purple Blood Dafa, even his brain seems to have changed, it's so interesting. After being silent for a while, Qu Rurong couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Since his debut, he has been repeatedly overwhelmed by Chu Qiuyan, and he has long been accustomed to that woman's high-minded and ruthless posture, but this time he saw the angry side of the other party, and the Soul Chasing Sect Master couldn't help but want to play the crown and celebrate.
"Sect Master!" Yan Bee Yanmei reminded in a low voice helplessly, after all, the Soul Chasing Sect is still mixed with the Huanhua Palace, and it is better for you, as the head of a sect, not to go too far.
...................................................
As expected by Qu Rurong, the leader of the Soul Chasing Sect, Chu Qiuyan, the master of the Huanhua Palace, led the four elders and the seven killing gods, and had already arrived in Chang'an at this time, and lived in the mansion of Mrs. Qiuguo very domineeringly.
Because at this time, the sisters and brothers of the Yang family were all specially ordered by the emperor to live in the palace, and some of the servants and maids followed, and the other part was temporarily dismissed, so there was no pressure on the empty mansion even if thirty or fifty people lived.
At this time, Chu Qiuyan, the head of the Huanhua Palace, who was sitting at the top of the hall and wearing a heavy veil, did not say a word, as if he was closing his eyes to recuperate, and an invisible pressure enveloped the entire hall, making everyone's hearts dull and difficult to breathe freely.
"Sect Master, since the Soul Chasing Sect has a connection with evil spirits, then let them help spread the message, I, Cui Shu, am willing to fight him to the death, and see if this can lead him out!"
"I heard that when the evil spirit was going to pick a thousand, the wrinkles on your Cui Kill's face were relaxed, you thought that the palace master couldn't see it!" Chu Qiuyan said lightly: "You can rest assured, there is news from the palace, Li Longji has decided to take Ge Shuhan as his general, select 1,000 elite soldiers from the left and right Yulin Army, and agree to fight outside Chang'an City in a month." ”
"Palace Master, should we get involved and assassinate the evil spirits while they are in chaos. Yin Thunder Dao Cui Kill Old Man blushed, and then said loyally.
"There's no need, the encirclement and suppression of the army is not the same as the fighting in the rivers and lakes, you lurking in it may cause chaos. Chu Qiuyan shook his head and said: "During this time, we must continue to look for traces of evil spirits as much as possible, if we can kill him before the agreement, it is best to kill him after that." ”
Chu Qiuyan slapped a thin secret book on the table, and said lightly: "This is the part of the Purple Blood Dafa that the demon bully left to me to Tianshuo, and there is also a record of the demon tyrant's handwriting, as long as you can hurt the evil spirit this time, I will lend him the secret book for three days." ”
More than a dozen eyes in the hall were staring at the desktop cheats at the same time, the evil spirits were so powerful after accidentally cultivating the Purple Blood Dafa, if they could get the Purple Blood Dafa cheats copied by the Demon Overlord himself, they would naturally be able to go to the next level, maybe they would be able to surpass the sect master!
Everyone's eyes lit up with a raging fire, and they wanted to pull out the evil spirit and kill him at once. (To be continued.) )
