Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Girl Bets on Earning Money, Xiaosheng Goes Away
The two actually forgot about the game for a while, until they heard the sound of the stopped gong, and suddenly looked back, and there were only five people left on the stage who connected themselves and Bei Mingyi.
The rest of them were: the man in full armor and the twin brothers.
Bei Mingyi glanced at the people in the ring, and before the referee announced, he hugged his fist to Zhang Xiaosheng and said: "Since the game is over, then I will leave first, let's see you in the general's mansion!" After speaking, his body was like a radio lightning, and he turned the corner of the street in the blink of an eye and disappeared.
At this time, Zhang Xiaosheng was a little disappointed, and he wanted to inquire more about the situation, but he had to give up. But this is not bad, there is still a chance to enter the General's Mansion, and it may not be appropriate to ask too quickly now.
"Young master, it's good!"
"Young master, you are so powerful, I didn't expect our Zhang family, who have been officials for generations, has always been weak in terms of force, but I didn't expect to have such a genius as the young master!"
As soon as Zhang Xiaosheng stepped down, the two girls chattered around, as if the young master was happier than they themselves won.
"Young master, who was the young man who fought with you on stage at the end, I was sweating in my heart at that time!" Cai Meng said.
"That's it, young master, how do I feel that you are just learning in normal times later?" Ning Lian asked, but she didn't expect the little girl to be so observant that she actually noticed a flaw.
"Haha, it's actually a friend, I haven't seen you for a long time, it's just a whim, haha. Zhang Xiaosheng didn't want to say more, it was better not to talk about these things with the two little girls.
Seeing Ning Lian's dissatisfied expression, for fear that Ning Lian would ask questions again, it would be bad for her to be soft-hearted, so she hurriedly diverted the topic.
"By the way, Caimeng, how is your gambling game, looking at your happy appearance, you must have won a lot of money!" Zhang Xiaosheng turned to Caimeng and asked.
"Of course, young master, you don't know, your odds are too high!" Cai Meng patted the purse on his waist excitedly, and already thought of the beautiful scene full of money inside.
"Young master, I thought that our Zhang family was also a famous family in the Heiyao Empire, and those dealers should know our strength, and the odds should not be very high. That day, I held the idea of making a little bit of money and supporting the young master to go to the xia bet, but I didn't expect the young master to have high odds. The reason given by the dealer is that our Zhang family has been civil officials for generations, and has never been a strong person, and they actually think that the young master, you may just show an attitude of the master, and show goodwill, thinking that the young master you must have just come to the ring on a whim to participate in the ring to recruit relatives, purely to play soy sauce, so the odds are unusually high.
Young master, do you know, I was so excited at that time, not only did I stake all my property, but I also staked Ning Lian!" Cai Meng said as he sat gesturing, his little face flashing with excitement.
"Haha, our family's dream is really the smartest, and now she has become a veritable little rich woman!" Zhang Xiaosheng praised in a timely manner, Zhang Xiaosheng found that he also liked the two little maids more and more.
......
The next day, someone from the General's Mansion came to the door early and asked Zhang Xiaosheng to move to the General's Mansion. It seems that the General's Mansion is well aware of the situation in the city, after all, the martial arts family in Fengyun City is dominant, and it is already the emperor of the soil in Fengyun City, and it is not a piece of cake to find out the situation of the contestants.
Zhang Xiaosheng originally wanted to take the two little girls and take them to see the long-admired Fengyun General's Mansion, but the people who came only let Zhang Xiaosheng go alone, and he was not allowed to bring any entourage, and said that the General's Mansion was as strong as an iron bucket, and it was not a problem to protect the safety of the winners.
In desperation, Zhang Xiaosheng appeased the two little girls, signed a series of unequal treaties, and explained to Steward Zhang that he would take good care of the girls during his absence. Finally, take your belongings with you and follow the general's messenger to the general's palace.
"What will the General's Mansion look like? At least I'm one step closer to my goal. On the way, Zhang Xiaosheng thought crankily all the way.
"Young Master Zhang, it's here. A reminder from the messenger interrupted Zhang Xiaosheng's reverie.
Looking up, the General's Mansion was in front of you, and the magnificent stone walls were covered with rough ornamentation, revealing the slightest breath of iron and blood. The gate was made of mixed iron, carved with a pair of large, hideous beast heads, their protruding fangs glowing with a heavy sheen, as if to warn anyone trespassing. The three big characters of the General's Mansion are hanging high on it, the pen walks the dragon and snake, wild and domineering, as if revealing a lofty atmosphere, it can be seen that the person with the inscription must have been in a high position for a long time, and his kung fu is extraordinary.
"It is worthy of the general's mansion, and before entering the door, the meaning of deterrence is revealed everywhere. The two armies face each other, and the one who is vigorous comes first. Before I saw him, I grabbed the sound first, this general's mansion can be said to use the art of war superbly, and there are no vain soldiers under the fame, interesting, interesting!" Zhang Xiaosheng sighed secretly, and came with the envoy stepping into the door.
What catches your eye is a large square on one side, which is very similar to the square outside, paved with thick bluestone slabs, and there are traces of various weapons on it.
"This is the parade ground of our general's mansion that can accommodate 1,000 people at a time, and the eldest lady will hold a display of training results here from time to time in order to maintain the bloody nature of the army. The envoy was a little surprised when he saw Zhang Xiaosheng looking at the square, and explained.
"Distinguished guests, please come here with me, the general has specially arranged a courtyard for you to rest. As he spoke, he walked to the left side of the square, where there was an archway, and behind the arch was a dense crowd of buildings.
Passing through the archway, you will be greeted by a deep garden. The green trees are shady, the flowers are clustered, the rockery pavilions, the pavilions and water pavilions, the colorful butterflies flutter in the flowers, the birds cry in the shrubs, the fish are happy in the clear water, and the beautiful scenery of the round forest is good.
"This is like a mansion!" finally had a hint of an ordinary mansion, Zhang Xiaosheng sighed secretly.
"Please follow, this side will take you to the VIP building, the road here is tortuous and easy to get lost, and I hope to follow carefully." The messenger reminded Zhang Xiaosheng to follow a winding path from which the grass and trees flowed.
"Okay, no problem!" Although Zhang Xiaosheng replied like this, he was a little disdainful in his heart, although it was a general's mansion, but after all, it was a mortal mansion, how many twists and turns could there be, and besides, he had lived in the Lu family for many years, and he was very familiar with the general layout of the mansion.
Following the messenger left and right, Zhang Xiaosheng sighed secretly in his heart: "There are indeed some doorways here, at first glance, there is nothing special about the garden layout, but if you look closely, the woods and flowers here seem to be arranged in a strange way, which is very confusing, if you don't pay attention, I'm afraid you will wander here all the time, and you can't go out." There are also those flowers, birdsongs, etc., which will confuse people's visual and auditory senses, and also play a good auxiliary role. It seems that the General's Mansion has ulterior motives that he doesn't know, but fortunately I am a cultivator, not a secular person.
But then again, are we the players witnessing this unintentionally, or do we have ulterior motives?"
Just as Zhang Xiaosheng was thinking, he turned a corner, and his eyes suddenly became clear, but they came to a courtyard.
