Volume 2 Flying Dragon in the Sky Chapter 87 Enter the Gambling House
Xiaoshan is not really stupid, he just has been down the mountain for too short a time, and he doesn't know much about the intrigue between people.
"There are so many twists and turns behind a small tavern, it's really not easy for this person to do anything in the world!" Xiaoshan sighed.
"If it's full here, there can be hundreds of people, right? There is a tavern like this in the five major cities, and it is all under the name of one person, you tell me that this is called a 'tavern'?" Shi Changfeng looked at Xiao Shandao with a disgusted expression.
Hearing this, Xiao Shan glared at Shi Changfeng, and said angrily: "That's what I said, why are you so serious! Since you are so powerful, where did you run away with your sharp teeth and teeth in the face of the 'Qin Feng' person just now?"
"I'm not like you, for some people, you don't have to move your mouth if you can do it. What kind of ability is it to only play tricks!"
"Yes, yes, yes, your eldest prince Shi demolished the door of the tavern as soon as he made a move, if I hadn't scared those people away, would you still be planning to demolish the entire tavern with your own hands?"
"I'm too lazy to meet you like you!"
Looking at Xiaoshan and Shi Changfeng bickering, a gentle smile appeared on Wei Qingyi's face: It's good to be young.
Just when Xiaoshan and Shi Changfeng stared at each other, the bartender successively served them the wine and dishes, just like when Xiaoshan first came, it was not a precious and exquisite dish, but the amount was really large.
Wei Qingyi replaced the teacups in front of Xiaoshan and Shi Changfeng with wine glasses, and said while pouring wine for the two of them: "I'll put aside my affairs here for now, and tell me the purpose of your coming today." I don't think you're just here to play, I'm not where you're going to be. β
When Xiaoshan heard this, he scratched his head and said, "What is this talk of the boss, why won't we come to you anymore, maybe we will come often in the future!"
"Oh, you said that you just got the qualification of a junior adventurer in the Adventurers' Association, is this true? Do you plan to develop in the adventure world in the future?" Wei Qingyi was a little surprised.
Xiaoshan nodded and said, "Yes." The proprietress should remember that the first time I came here, Miss Qi brought me here. At that time, I made a pact with Miss Qi that if I came out of Fengyun Academy in the future, I would join their adventure group and go on adventures with them. β
"Now that the martial arts of the Five Academies have ended, our cultivation in the academy has come to an end, and we will start to practice. I came here today to inquire with the proprietress about Miss Qi's whereabouts, so that I could make an appointment that day. β
Wei Qingyi put down the wine jug in his hand, first glanced at Shi Changfeng, and then put his eyes on Xiaoshan's body, only to see her say with a straight face: "Although this is the second time you and I have met, I have heard too many words of 'Wild Thousand Heavy' in the past few days." Now that you are in the limelight, all major forces should be wooing you, are you sure you want to give up the great opportunity in front of you and join Qi Le'er and their little-known 'Crane Song'?"
"How do you feel that the boss lady said that I have no future at all if I join the 'Crane Song', the boss lady, you won't be joking with me, right?"
Xiaoshan remembered that Wei Qingyi and Qi Leer had a very good relationship, why now she didn't seem to want to join "Heming".
Wei Qingyi nodded and said: "I'm really not joking with you, Su Lianqing, the head of the 'Heming', is like a sister to me, and I used to be a member of the 'Heming'." For so many years, 'Heming' has not developed at all in the hands of Lianqing, and it is still bronze. It's because Lianqing is lazy, and she is too lazy to develop and grow 'Heming'. β
"I'm not saying this to belittle 'Crane Song', or to say that Lianqing is doing something wrong, but I hope you can think clearly about whether such an adventure group is what you want to join. Don't put your future in the shoes of an agreement because of an agreement. β
After Wei Qingyi finished speaking, Xiaoshan was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Boss, what you said is true?"
"What's really fake?" Wei Qingyi was confused by Xiao Shan's laughter.
"The boss lady is right, after the end of the Fifth Academy's martial arts, there are indeed many forces who want to win me over, including 'Qin Feng'. But I'm a person who doesn't have big ambitions, so I like to live lazily. Since you said that the head of the 'Crane Song' is also such a person, it couldn't be better for me. I just want to join an adventure group like 'Crane Song', without restraints, without having to intrigue with others, how nice!"
"It's not promising!" Shi Changfeng snorted disdainfully.
Xiao Shan's words made Wei Qingyi really cry and laugh, she really didn't expect that the person who dared to compete with the ice phoenix was such a person.
"In that case, I will say no more. I think that with a master like you joining 'Crane Song', Lian Qing should be very happy, and I am also very happy that you can choose 'Crane Song'. It's just that you're afraid you're going to have trouble in the future. β
"Why is that?" said the hill.
"I'm ashamed, but it's because of me. I don't know where Lian Qing got the news, and I know that 'Qin Feng' is looking for trouble with me. A few days ago, she wrote to me, saying that she wanted to come to Fengyun City to help me town, and it is estimated that she will be able to arrive in the next two days. With her character, she is bound to not be good with 'Qin Feng', if you really join 'Heming', you will have to be implicated at that time. Wei Qingyi said helplessly.
"In this way, Captain Su is still a righteous person, and he knows that it is 'Qin Feng' who has come thousands of miles to help you. However, this also shows that your relationship is indeed good and enviable. β
When Wei Qingyi heard this, a gentle smile appeared on his face again. Although "Heming" is only a bronze-level adventure group, and Su Lianqing is indeed a leader who does not seek progress, this does not affect the friendship between them.
I don't know if the people of "Qin Feng" used any means, except for Xiaoshan and a few of them, no one has come to the tavern. Wei Qingyi also did his best to be a landlord with peace of mind, and while accompanying Xiaoshan and them to drink, he told them some about the past of "Crane Song".
It wasn't until Xiaoshan and Shi Changfeng were full of wine and food, and made an appointment with Wei Qingyi, and when the people of "Heming" arrived in Fengyun City, they sent someone to inform them, and the two of them left the tavern.
"It's still early, should we go to the outer city?" Shi Changfeng asked.
Xiaoshan, who was walking in front, stopped, turned his head and looked at Shi Changfeng with a puzzled expression: "What are you doing in the outer city?"
"We beat and scolded the people of 'Qin Feng' today, you don't think this matter is like this, right?"
"It's you who beat people, what does it have to do with me? If you want to solve it, I have to go back to sleep. Xiaoshan pouted indifferently, and after speaking, he was about to turn around and leave.
"Wild Qianzhong, don't play stupid with me! You also heard it, 'Qin Feng' will not give up 'Adventurer's Paradise' easily, if you don't solve 'Qin Feng' now, do you really plan to go to the town with them when the people of 'Heming' come? β
Xiaoshan stopped again, turned his head and said, "What are you going to do?"
"Although 'Qin Feng' doesn't have a tavern like 'Adventurer's Paradise', the five main cities also have their own industries. As far as I know, they have two properties in Fengyun City, a gambling house and a brothel, but both are outside the city. That's why I said I'd go to the outer city. β
"Gambling house, brothel, are you going to gamble or prostitute or smash?"
Shi Changfeng heard Xiaoshan ask, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face: "If you want to gamble, I can pay for you to gamble." If you want to prostitute, I can help you find a girl, and I can find you anything. Of course, if you want to smash it, I don't mind kicking a few more door panels. β
"Oh yes! When did you become so righteous? What you said is true?" Xiao Shan looked at Shi Changfeng with a "frightened" expression.
"Don't talk nonsense, let's go or not! If it weren't for the fact that I wanted to go with you to that 'crane song', I wouldn't bother to care about these!"
Xiao Shan thought about it, and he felt that what Shi Changfeng said made sense. Sooner or later, the matter between "Qin Feng" and "Adventurer's Paradise" will involve "Crane Song", and Xiaoshan will definitely not be able to run away at that time. Since you have beaten people today, you will simply offend them to the end. Xiaoshan is not even afraid of Emperor Flawless, but he will be afraid of him as an Emperor Xuankun?
"Go, why don't you go, it's rare that your eldest prince Shi paid me to go out in style, of course I want to go!" Xiaoshan said with a smile.
Xiao Shan has been in Fengyun City for almost a year, and to be honest, he really doesn't know much about Fengyun City. The inner city is a little better, and the outer city he only knows a "gold rush set".
followed Shi Changfeng out of the south gate of the inner city, and followed Shi Changfeng around the outer city, the more people walked, the fewer people walked, and the more remote they became. Just when Xiaoshan thought that Shi Changfeng was not planning to take him to a place where no one was there to kill people, Shi Changfeng finally stopped outside the gate of a small courtyard.
"What kind of place is this?" asked Xiaoshan, looking at the closed courtyard door in front of him.
"Gambling house. β
Xiao Shan looked around, he and Shi Changfeng were now located far away from the downtown area, and the narrow and narrow streets were lined with some dilapidated houses, and none of them were inhabited. Although the house in front of them looks better than the others, the courtyard door looks like a back door, and it has nothing to do with the gambling house in Xiaoshan's impression.
Shi Changfeng didn't explain much to Xiaoshan, and walked directly to the door and knocked. Shi Changfeng's knocking on the door was very rhythmic, as if it was some kind of code, which made Xiaoshan feel quite fresh.
After a while, the courtyard door opened. A middle-aged man with a short stature and an obscene appearance stretched out his head to take a look, and saw that there were only two people outside the door, Xiaoshan and Shi Changfeng, so he opened the door and let them in.
The middle-aged man bolted the door again, didn't speak, and led Xiaoshan and Shi Changfeng directly to the house.
The middle-aged man led Xiaoshan and Shi Changfeng directly through the living room, and came to a wing room at the back, there was nothing in the wing room, only a large hole in the ground, which looked like the entrance to a basement.
The middle-aged man took Xiaoshan and them to the wing room, then closed the door and left, apparently letting Xiaoshan and them go down by themselves.
"Isn't it just a casino, it's even more mysterious than the underground auction in the Treasure Pavilion. β
"The auction of the Treasure Pavilion is legal, but it can't be opened in the open, do you know the reason for this?"
Xiaoshan thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "It's because some things can't see the light!"
Shi Changfeng nodded and said, "That's right! There are places in any industry that can't see the light, and those places that can't see the light are the places that can bring the most profits, and this casino is too." Although the power of 'Qin Feng' is huge, Emperor Xuankun is a prince after all. The prince opened a casino and a brothel, so it's not good to say!"
Xiaoshan shrugged his shoulders and said, "In other words, this underground casino is actually a shady industry in the hands of 'Qin Feng'?"
"Including another brothel, all of them. β
"Then even if we smash it, it won't cause much trouble on the bright side?"
"Are you really going to smash?"
Xiao Shan smiled and said, "Forget it, since you are here, let's take a look at your methods first! After all, you are better at this kind of thing than me." β
Shi Changfeng snorted coldly, ignored the hill, and took the lead to walk down the stairs.
They thought that there would be a noisy place with a miasma of smoke below, but when they came to the real casino, they found that this underground casino was not only spacious, but also brightly lit. Although there were a lot of people who came to play, it didn't look cluttered, and there was everyone, and everywhere you could see some richly dressed people and some ragged people shouting together at the same table.
Maybe there is no distinction between high and low here, and those people have only one identity: gamblers.
Xiao Shan and Shi Changfeng may be new faces, and they attracted the attention of many people as soon as they appeared, and those people didn't seem to be guests who came to play.
"The two sons looked at Miansheng, is it the first time to come to play with us?" As he spoke, a gorgeously dressed, flowery, and charming woman walked over to the hill.
The woman just glanced at Xiaoshan and then put her eyes on Shi Changfeng, a veteran like her who had been in Fengyue for many years, she could see at a glance who was the master and who was the entourage of Xiaoshan and Shi Changfeng.
Shi Changfeng did not disappoint, the shelf of the prince of the family was stable, he glanced at the beautiful woman, and said with a proud expression: "Call your person in charge here, this young master has something to talk to him." β
As soon as Shi Changfeng's words fell, the few pairs of eyes that had been staring at him and Xiaoshan immediately became sharp, and two of them walked over to this side.
"Yo! Childe, this is embarrassing for the concubine, we are in charge of things is a busy man, how can we see it. Otherwise, if the son has something to tell the concubine, if it is a small matter, the concubine can also call the shots. The woman waved her hand slightly, and the two men who were walking this way turned and walked back.
Shi Changfeng first looked around, and then snorted coldly: "I want to buy this gambling house, have you done this thing?"
The woman was stunned for a moment when she heard this, then covered her mouth and chuckled: "Childe don't want to use his concubine body to be happy, since Childe can enter here, don't you know whose territory this is?"
"Of course I know whose land it is, and because I know whose it is, I said I wanted to buy it. Originally, he was going to give it to us, but we didn't think it was good to take other people's things for no reason, and I wasn't short of this bit of silver, so we thought about buying it and playing with it. β
"The toad yawnsβwhat a big breath! I want to see what kind of man is so unafraid of death that dares to come and spread wild on my territory. β
Before the words fell, a man walked over with several big men. And the beautiful woman naturally stepped aside after hearing the man's voice, obviously the man's identity is not simple.
However, when Xiaoshan saw the man's appearance clearly, he almost laughed out loud, and the man was the hooked nose that Xiaoshan had met in the "adventurer's paradise" before.
Eagle Hooknose also saw the appearance of Xiao Shan and Shi Changfeng clearly at this time, especially when he saw Xiao Shan behind Shi Changfeng staring at him with a smile, Eagle Hook Nose's face immediately collapsed. However, this is on his turf, and the hooknose is much stronger than when he was in the tavern.
"Are the two sons here to play? If there is anything that is not well taken care of, please don't mind. The hooked nose changed the arrogance just now, and immediately changed into a smiling face.
"Did you hear what I just said?"
"I hear you. β
"Then can you do the Lord?"
"This..."
Seeing that the hooked nose looked respectful to Shi Changfeng, several of his subordinates and the beautiful woman on the side were extremely surprised. This hooknose is a squadron leader of the 'Qin Feng' adventure group, and he is in charge of many people, and he is also running this gambling house on weekdays, and he can be regarded as the number one person in 'Qin Feng'.
Except for a few senior captains in the group, when did this hooked nose see the faces of others, even the leaders of some adventure groups, he didn't pay attention to them, but now he whispered so low to these two unidentified young people, which was puzzling, and at the same time, they also began to guess the identities of Xiaoshan and Shi Changfeng.
"What Childe said is true?"
Looking at the smiling face of the hooked nose that was more ugly than crying, Shi Changfeng felt that it was almost over, so he stopped teasing him.
"Whether it's true or not, it depends on what he means. Saying that, Shi Changfeng pointed to the hill behind him, and then said: "We have other things to do today, but this doesn't seem to be the place to talk about things, it's a bit noisy." β
Eagle hook nose is not a fool, listening to Shi Changfeng's meaning, it doesn't seem that he really wants to buy this gambling house, these two people came up because of the tavern before.
"Yes, yes, please come with me. It just so happens that I got a bottle of good wine today, and if the two sons don't dislike it, they can help me taste it. Hooknose said and made a "please" gesture.
Shi Changfeng turned his head and glanced at Xiao Shan, Xiao Shan nodded, and the two of them walked towards the casino with their hooked noses.
After Hooknose led Xiaoshan and Shi Changfeng away, the gamblers who watched the excitement whispered earnestly and returned to the gambling table. As for the identities of Xiaoshan and Shi Changfeng, no one could guess it.
