CHAPTER XX
Golden Hook Casino.
The first underground casino in Chang'an, with a wide variety of business and categories. Oaks, pai gow, horse hangings, leaves, cards, dice and more. There are four floors in the Golden Hook Gambling House, and the first floor is played by ordinary people, which is generally crowded with people, shouting and cheering constantly. The second floor is dedicated to hosting some owners who spend a lot of money, and the natural environment and services are a hundred times stronger than the first floor. The third floor is a place for leisure and entertainment for dignitaries, they generally do not bring money, and every time they lose, someone naturally goes to their mansion to send or be sent. As for the fourth floor, no one knew what it was for, because no one had ever entered it except the owner of the gambling house, and no one knew what it was for.
No one dares to go to the fourth floor, and it's best not to even think about it. Once Li Shangshu's son was curious and wanted to break in, but when people lifted him out of the gambling house, he had already broken two ribs, and the most mysterious thing was that Li Shangshu didn't even dare to let out a fart, and the matter was over. But this does not mean that the business of the Golden Hook Gambling House is cold, on the contrary, the Golden Hook Gambling House is still in an endless stream every day, and the gold is being made every day, so the red-eyed people fantasize that they are the owners of the Golden Hook Gambling House.
At this time, the owner of the Golden Hook Gambling House was on the fourth floor, yes, on the fourth floor, where even flies could not fly in, and he was standing honestly, respectfully, because there was a man sitting in front of him.
"Xiao Tang, business has been okay lately. The man asked casually.
"Thanks to the old man, everything is business as usual. "'Little Don' replied respectfully, without the slightest flattery.
"Did you see Bangwen?" the man asked.
"Steward Sun had informed me the night before, but I didn't do it. The man replied very simply, and it was no wonder how a man who dragged mud and water could hold on to this cash cow that everyone coveted.
"Oh, I'd like to hear your reasoning. The man was not angry, he looked at Xiao Tang opposite, and knew very well in his heart that even if everyone in the world would betray him, Xiao Tang would not. Even if he wanted Xiao Tang to die, he wouldn't frown. He needs such a person, for no reason, no right or wrong, loyal to him alone.
"The reason why the gambling house has prospered so far is that it does not have the support of the open, and it is also the protection of you, my lord. Throughout history, no dynasty has put gambling outside, let alone blatantly opened. Some people, some industries are not destined to be placed in public, I don't understand, and I don't want to ruin this gambling house, so I'm waiting for you.
The man listened, but did not speak immediately, his eyes were looking at the fourth floor, a small but mysterious place, where he was now sitting. "Xiao Tang, do you know my original intention for letting you open this gambling house in the first place?"
"My lord asked me to collect intelligence, recruit talented people from all over the world, and serve you. Don Jr. said.
"Very well, so doesn't it matter how much it earns?" the man looked at Don.
"Well, but....I see. Xiao Tang promised, no matter how much reluctance and nostalgia he had in his heart, he didn't even belong to his name, what else could he talk about, not to mention, he was willing.
"Okay!" the man patted Xiao Tang on the shoulder and said kindly, "I understand, the gambling house was founded by you, how much effort has been spent to get today's results, not to mention how many hardships there are, if you don't feel sorry for me, I feel sorry, but, do you know, Xiao Tang, how long have I waited for this opportunity." The more the man spoke, the more excited he became, "Fifteen years, fifteen years, how many fifteen years there are in life." Besides, if this opportunity is missed, can I wait?"
Opportunity, what a tempting word, sometimes you need to wait, sometimes you need to seize! Sometimes he misses the opportunity, he will come again; sometimes he has waited all his life, but he has not yet won her favor; and sometimes, when the green silk turns gray hair, and the sea turns into a mulberry field, I see her wearing a bright red wedding dress, and she walks lightly into the sedan chair you have chosen for her.
Xiao Tang knelt down, "The villain doesn't know the general situation, and he almost missed a big thing, please punish the master." ”
"What are your crimes, you are also thinking about the gambling house, it should be me who said sorry, and in one sentence destroyed the gambling house that you have worked so hard to run for several years. The man sighed.
"From the day the master saved me, Tang Feng's life has belonged to you, and everything I have is yours. Xiao Tang said, his eyes full of determination.
"Get up, for so many years, I have long regarded you as my half son, although you and I have the name of master and servant, but we have long had the love of father and son. The man helped Don up and said.
Xiao Tang raised his head, and he was already in tears: "Thank you for your love, Tang Feng is willing to follow the master for the rest of his life, if he has two hearts, it will be the same as this hand." With that, he pulled out the dagger from his boot and headed for the little commander.
"Stop!" Before the man could speak, his little finger had fallen to the ground alone, accompanied by a cloud of blood.
"What are you doing, confused!" the man hurriedly took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, tied it to the bleeding place, and shouted: "Old grandson, old grandson!"
The man named Lao Sun pushed the door in, but found that Xiao Tang was holding a dagger and blood was flowing, he was about to pounce, but he heard the old man shouting, "Go get the gold sore medicine, you want to be good, hurry!"
Lao Sun hesitated a little, and the man shouted: "Are you deaf, go, didn't you see that Xiao Tang was injured!"
Lao Sun turned around and ran as if he had just woken up from a big dream. The man looked at Xiao Tang and sighed: "Why are you so bothered, if I don't believe you, how can I hand over this gambling house to you and tell you so many secrets." ”
Xiao Tang looked at the man, his pale face squeezed out a smile, he really couldn't laugh, because he never smiled, his smile was ugly, more ugly than crying. Although the pain in his fingers made him feel like he was about to go crazy, he was willing to do so, and the person in front of him was sad for him, sighed for him, shouted madly for him, and talked to him. The death of a confidant is what he said, he thought secretly, but he felt that his vision was very blurry, and he was still very sleepy, and he was about to fall asleep.
"Don Jr., Don Jr!" the man shouted when he saw that Don Jr. was no longer angry.
"Master, he lost too much blood and fainted, and his life is not in danger. "Lao Sun doesn't know when he came back.
The man stood up and wiped away the tears on his face: "Old Sun, Xiao Tang, I'll leave it to you, I have something to do, go first." ”
"Don't worry, sir. Lao Sun replied respectfully.
Those who want to achieve great things can also be killed. How many people don't have this kind of ruthlessness and ruthlessness, and as a result, they miss a move, but if they get it, look up, who will you believe, Qin Hui still has two or three confidants, but he has really become a loner.
Scheming people are just deeper, more patient, more thoughtful, and calmer in situations. If there is a violation of the rules and human ethics, it is not a scheming, but a bloodthirsty beast.
People have emotions, whether it is the high-ranking Ninety-Five, or the ordinary people of ordinary people, they have their own joys, sorrows, sorrows, and sorrows, and their own concerns.
Mowgli's mood is very cheerful, incomparably happy. This is not because he mentally defeated the difficult Nangong Suomei, but because he suddenly had an epiphany, he was right, since the world is so big, why do we still stick to the victory or defeat of a game of chess, the weight of a sentence, the gain or loss of one thing, and the shape of a cloud?
After thinking about this, his steps were brisk, his mood suddenly brightened, he was holding a wooden box in his hand, heavy, and he had a person in his heart, and he couldn't let go of it, he wanted to see her and make an explanation.
Even if you can't promise three lives and three lives, you must promise her this life and this life, you can't allow her ten miles of peach blossoms, but you also want her to have green silk and white hair....life is short, there are a few people worth waiting for!
Wang Han is a straight man, but his parents gave him such an elegant name, and he is a person who is too lazy to use his brain. His passion was the horn of the side plug, the cry of the Hu people, and the fifty-pound Ugin spear in his hand. He was an out-and-out soldier, but not a good general.
But it was such a person, but he hesitated in front of a restaurant, twisted and pinched, and the ground under his feet had been grinded much shallower than other places.
"General, if you don't go in again, the sun will go down. Ji Rufeng on the side reminded.
"Ahem, if you don't send this wine money, you can say that I can't come because of something. Wang Han said without confidence.
"General, you've been here for almost half a day, why don't you dare to send it? What a big battle we haven't seen, are you still afraid of the little lady inside?" Ji Rufeng said with a slight sneer.
"Dog, dog, who said I don't go, go. Wang Han finally made up his mind, raised his head and walked quickly towards the restaurant.
Ji Rufeng shook his head with a smile and followed.
When he arrived at the restaurant, Wang Han approached the counter with an inappropriate momentum, and the person standing at the counter was an old man who was half a hundred years old. The old man was really startled by this big man who looked like a black god in front of him. "You, what are you going to do?"
"Give you money, I owe you money for wine. Wang Han didn't have time to appease the little old man, because his eyes had already scanned as far as he could see, but he didn't find the appearance of the person he hoped to see, and he was so annoyed in his heart.
On the one hand, he worked tirelessly, standing outside for most of the day just to catch a glimpse of the person he had been thinking about for the past few days, and on the other hand, he didn't want to see it, and when he did, what could he say, I would pay it back? I came to beg for a drink with a cheeky face, and he didn't want to come here just because he was drinking. That's why it took him a few days to come, his brain was about to explode. This little lady is even more difficult than tens of thousands of Hu soldiers, grandma's! Wang Han thought hatefully in his heart.
"Please leave a name for this official, so that the little old man can know if he owes it?" the old man asked cautiously.
"You are so noisy, I said that if I owe it, I owe it, how can I pay you so many bird rules. Wang Han didn't see the person he liked, and said angrily.
"General Wang, don't frighten Uncle Guo!" A voice like a silver bell floated into his ears, making the originally manic mood float away without a trace. If anyone has such great ability, I'm afraid it's Wu Niang.
"Five... Wu Niang... Five girls. When did you come?" Wang Han asked a very idiotic question, he was the owner of this shop, so why not come!
Wu Niang rested in the boudoir for a while, and then heard the general's voice. The woman said with a smile on her face.
"I'm sorry to disturb the rest of the five girls, I'm here to pay back the wine money, I'll leave now. Wang Han said a little incoherently, but fortunately, the content of what he said was not too complicated.
"The general has something important?" Wu Niang had already come downstairs at this time, stood in front of Wang Han, and asked.
"It's fine. Wang Han said.
"Then why don't you sit down and have a few drinks with Wu Niang?" Wu Niang said, leaning over and sitting next to her.
"It's... I can't ask for it, I can't ask for it. Wang Han hurriedly sat down. At this moment, the sweat on Wang Han's forehead was like rain, his legs and stomach were trembling slightly, and even his facial expression was very stiff. Ji Rufeng on the side wanted to laugh.
"Isn't the general very hot?" Wu Niang took out a handkerchief to wipe Wang Han's sweat.
Wang Han saw that the jade hand stretched out, it was a blood boiling, and he said, "I can't help it, I can't help it." ”
Wu Niang retracted her hand and glanced at it gently, Wang Han hurriedly wiped her face with her sleeve, Wu Niang couldn't help but smile when she saw his embarrassment.
Wang Han was suddenly stupid, and the fairies in the sky are nothing more than that. Wang Han stared at Wu Niang with both eyes, and even Wu Niang's face turned red like this.
Ji Rufeng on the side coughed.
No response.
Ji Rufeng gently pushed him again.
No response.
"Oops, who stepped on my foot!" Wang Han shouted. Immediately, he realized that he had lost his temper, "Ha... Ha... Hah..."I could only hide my embarrassment with a burst of laughter.
"Who is this?" Wu Niang asked, pointing at Ji Rufeng.
"Oh, this is my adjutant, Ji Rufeng, just call him a chicken head. Wang Han said.
"It turned out to be Second Lieutenant Ji. ”
"The girl is Wu Niang. My general has been stunned for several days because of you. Ji Rufeng said with a smile.
"Nonsense, how can I have?" Wang Han's face turned red all of a sudden, like an angry and congested red rooster. "Straight thief, see that I don't cut you to death. ”
"Girl, save me. Ji Rufeng pretended to be scared, like Wu Niang begging for help.
"Alright, stop making a fuss. "Wu Niang has seen the world in the end, and soon talked and laughed.
"That's right, don't make trouble, you're still messing around like this in front of the five girls. Wang Han also took the opportunity to reprimand.
"Don't be a five girl, five girls, so let's do it, I have a single name 'Lan', call me Lan'er. Wu Niang said.
"Miss Lan, I have something to do, go out. Ji Rufeng said with a smile, and glanced at Wang Han meaningfully, poor Wang Han's mind is all on Wu Niang, how can he still understand Ji Rufeng's intentions and hints.
"Let's go, let's go, I'm upset when I look at you. Wang Han waved his hand impatiently, he forgot who dragged him here in the morning.
"Is the general really just here to pay back?" Wu Niang asked.
"This, and thank you. Wang Han thought for a long time and said.
"Nothing else. Wu Niang continued to ask.
"Also, I just want to see you. Wang Han didn't say this, although his heart kept encouraging him to say it loudly, but he bit his lip tightly, for fear that he would say it.
"Okay, let's go ahead and have a drink. Wu Niang said, if you are careful, you can catch a trace of loss flashing in her eyes.
Drink, maybe only wine can bind the two together? Only in this way can a man not have the courage to look at the person who is haunted by his dreams and thoughts in the depths of his mind! What is the taste of wine? Bitter, sweet, or nothing?
Who believes in Jinghua Chenli, come alone to see the moonlight. The artistic conception and roughness are equally intriguing.
