(PS: Ask for recommendation votes, ask for collections, ask for rewards, thank you for your rewards!)
Zhou Dunyu saw that Duan Qianqiu was going to go into battle in person, and he hugged his fists beside him and persuaded: "Lord Duan, you are in an important position, you must not take risks in person, and your subordinates are willing to go to follow the old king for Lord Duan."

Duan Qianqiu said: "Master Zhou's martial arts are amazing, and he is the best candidate, but this old king, I have dealt with him a few years ago, and I am familiar with him, so it is most suitable for me to follow him." ”
"It's just..."Zhou Dunyu still needs to be persuaded again.
Duan Qianqiu smiled: "Lord Zhou, Duan Mou also made a living by licking blood from the knife edge before, and when it comes to danger, others are afraid of me." ”
Zhou Dunyu listened to this, and said with a smile: "I suddenly forgot that Lord Duan once slapped Yan Song, and also defeated Yang Yan, who ranked tenth on the Xuanwu List, it seems that I was too worried." But if there is an emergency, how do we respond?"
"Ten outposts have been set up in the city, and I will go to the outposts to find help in any situation, and in case of a particularly urgent situation, I will use the flag flower rockets of our Southern Guard Army to send a message for help. ”
King Zheng Yang said: "The old king has seen you, if you follow you closely, you will be recognized if you are not careful." ”
Duan Qianqiu smiled: "I'm ready for this, Zheng Shibo don't worry." ”
Everyone couldn't help but be surprised when they saw that no matter what they were facing, Duan Qianqiu seemed to be in their chests.
The next day, Duan Qianqiu put on the human skin mask he bought through the underground black market in Yehuang City, and he became a middle-aged scholar with an ordinary face that was immediately forgotten.
His original human skin mask of Xiao Tietang was placed by him on the old banyan tree outside an inn in Huaiyin Mansion (see Chapter 20 for details), but even if the human skin mask was still with him, he would never dare to use it again.
The old king's residence is very inconspicuous, it is difficult to find, and his martial arts are not weak, and his whereabouts are as careful and secretive as a mouse, so it is difficult to track.
That night, when King Zheng Yang's people followed him, they also dispatched a whole team, kept changing people, and used the method of taking turns to catch his tracks.
When Duan Qianqiu and King Zheng Yang came to the vicinity of Lao Wangtou's residence together, King Zheng Yang, who was already lurking there to monitor, reported to him the situation in the past two days.
"The old king is really lazy, for so many days, he hasn't been out of the house except for a trip to the butcher Zhang who slaughtered a donkey and bought some fresh donkey meat." ”
"When he went to Butcher Zhang, did any of you follow him?"
"I sent a brother with a fresh face to follow him. ”
"Have you seen them hand over three thousand taels of silver tickets?"
"No, the old king only paid a hundred taels of silver to the butcher Zhang, saying that it was to settle the donkey meat money last month. ”
"Do you see that it's only a hundred taels?"
"I see! It was indeed a hundred taels of silver. ”
"What else did they talk about?"
"At that time, our people also pretended to be customers who wanted to buy meat, and we heard the two talking for a while, but in fact... It can't be considered a conversation anymore. Because a large part of the butchers were scolding the old king, urging him to hurry up and repay the donkey meat money he owed before, the old king's head just blindly begged for a few more days, and then left with the meat. ”
"Oh, when did this happen?"
"It was the day after we tracked it here. ”
King Zheng Yang asked, "Did you send someone to sneak into his house to investigate when he left?"
"Yes, we sent a few people who are good at the design of secret passages to investigate, and at the beginning of it, there is no design of secret passages or the like, except for the things that make braised donkey meat in the house, there are no other special things, because we are afraid that he will come back suddenly, we don't dare to search too deeply, so we retreated. ”
Duan Qianqiu muttered: "If a person has three thousand taels of silver bills on him, how can he only get one hundred taels when he is called for debts? If he can't come up with more money, then who will he give these three thousand taels of silver bills?"
King Zhengyang saw Duan Qianqiu in a daze, so he said, "Qianqiu, the old king has come out!"
Duan Qianqiu looked around, and saw that the old Wang Tou finally "crawled" out of his kennel-like home in a new dress, although the style of the robe was still dirty, but it was much more pleasing to the eye than the clothes he had never washed in his life.
The old king looked in good spirits, his face was full of red light, and the soles of his feet were windy, and he walked quickly towards a narrow alley on the side of his house.
When King Zhengyang saw the old king's head disappearing into the narrow alley, he hurriedly turned around and wanted to ask Duan Qianqiu to follow, but found that Duan Qianqiu, who had been behind him, was gone.
After the narrow alley passed through, it was a side street, the side street was deserted, even the barking of dogs was weak, the old king went down the side street to the end, and finally it was a lively street.
The crowds on the street are surging, and the old king's head is like a carp crossing the river, interspersing left and right in the flow of people, and there is actually a little chic clothes that are not stained with dust.
Duan Qianqiu followed behind him effortlessly, keeping a certain distance, and followed closely behind.
After a while, the old king obviously came to his destination, rubbing his hands together excitedly and trotting in.
"Longqing Gambling House".
Duan Qianqiu glanced at the plaque above his head and stepped in.
Casinos are the most real because nothing can hide itself in front of the glow of money, and casinos are also the most brutal because almost anything will eventually be buried by the lure of money.
Everyone in the casino is very focused, because in their eyes there is not only an unpredictable future, but also the pain of the unforeseen world.
Isn't everyone who comes to the casino just trying to temporarily anesthetize themselves and forget about the pain of reality!
The old king is obviously the same kind of person, because as soon as he is on the table, he becomes not like a donkey meat seller, but like a human flesh seller!
I saw him roaring hoarsely at the number of points he wanted, his face was hideous, his eyes bulged out, and he was sweating profusely, so he almost swung his knife and fought hard with the dice.
The cup is revealed!
The old king roared excitedly, it was the point he wanted!
Duan Qianqiu looked at the fine pieces of silver he had bet on the table, there were about dozens of taels, and he won this one, almost a hundred taels of income, more than doubled, for a person like him who was often intimidated by the butcher's debt collection, this was really too high-spirited.
The old king's luck seems to be good.
After a few handfuls, there was a pile of silver on his desk.
The old king thought so, so he didn't want to leave even more after winning the money.
From morning to dusk, without eating, drinking, sleeping, or even pooping and urine, the old king has witnessed his rise and fall today with his tenacious will and a whole day.
The money he won quickly ran out, and then he began to lose his own capital, and finally, even his own capital was lost.
His eyes were red, and he didn't know if he wanted to cry or if he wanted to fight hard.
But his hand reached into his bosom and he almost trembled and took out a piece.
Duan Qianqiu's eyes were sharp, and he immediately recognized that this was his own silver ticket of three thousand taels!!
