Chapter 447: Deterioration
If this place had been renamed, and without Lanca's guidance and instructions, Wan Peng might not have thought of this place as a casino at all. Compared with his impression of the chaos at the entrance of the casino, the casino here looked solemn and solemn, far from the signs of being unmanaged.
Approaching the blue-gray gate, Wan Peng noticed that this gate actually had formation patterns. However, just like he had guessed before, the people of Zixiao were not good at formations, and the patterns of these formations were extremely simple, and they could only be used to prompt someone to approach this gate.
When they were about to reach the door, someone opened the door from the inside, and four people came out at the same time, carefully examining the belongings of the four of them. One of them glanced at Wan Peng a little strangely, but he didn't say anything, and gave them a few permissions.
After entering the courtyard, this casino is also well organized, not only with clear signs, but also with etiquette staff to guide you. For these, Lan Jia seemed to be very adaptable, and after a few words of etiquette, he walked to a side hall behind the main house.
However, it looks like a side hall, but there is a cave inside. After entering, the ground slowly sloped downward, falling down about ten zhang, revealing a hall. There are all kinds of gambling equipment in the hall, and in front of the gambling table, waves of people are shouting with thick necks. But among these people, there are quite a few people who are patrolling back and forth with weapons, and they don't look like good people just by their faces.
At this point, it really has a bit of a casino feel. Wan Peng paid attention again, and found that in the corner, there were still many child-looking people, similar to Lan Jia or even younger, and they were having fun.
"In Zixiao, the casino is more of an entertainment venue. It's heavily guarded, and it's a relatively safe place. There are seven floors underground, and this is the third floor. Lan Jia slowly introduced the situation here, sometimes stretching her neck to look at the bets made by others. But every time he does this, someone will pull him away with their hands, "Go and go, and go to the children's table." ”
"Then, how do you find out the news?" Wan Peng looked around twice, but he didn't see any idlers at any table, and they were all playing with themselves. During this period, two people may have lost because they were arguing, but they were already grabbed by the neck by the patrolling back and forth, and they were caught like chickens.
"If you want to find out the news, you can go to the news distribution area, which is the rest area. On each floor, there is a rest area where people talk about the world, and there are special people who organize people's conversations and form some documentary content for viewing. Follow me. Lan Jia took the two people, turned left and right, and walked to a translucent door, "Look, this is it." ”
Looking inside from the door, it is not really visible due to the low transparency, but you can vaguely see rows of sofas inside, and there are beds in some places. The soundproofing of this place seems to be very good, and you can't hear any movement from the outside. There were two people standing at the door, and one of them saw someone coming and stretched out his hand, "Pay the ticket, three people." ”
Lan Jia skillfully took out the money and threw it over, and after the man took the inspection, he helped the three of them open the door. After entering, the sound of laughter, slapstick, and some not-so-elegant voices entered Wan Peng's ears.
Lan Jia didn't ask anyone, but walked straight to a sofa in a circle and sat down. There was a small table in the middle of the sofa, with some formation patterns on it, Wan Peng swept it at a glance and recognized that it should only store some text information.
"If it's hot news, it's bound to come up here. Let's check it out. With that, he put his hand into the spiritual power input point, and a light curtain popped up on the desktop, and he could flip it up and down with his hand.
And at this look, the expression on Lan Jia's little face suddenly froze. At present, the hottest news is: The third prince has not returned for many years and has not died, but is in the company of the Ape Clan in Qingdu, and is currently working on repairing the space gyro, and wants to lead the Ape Clan to attack the Purple Mansion on a large scale.
You can imagine how a child who has just returned here is in a mood when he suddenly sees such a message.
But for Wan Peng and Xie Ting, the news was expected. Ever since the sabotage team fled from the scene, Wan Peng thought that this might be the case.
Lan Jia is already looking through the specific content of the news, of course, in the casino, it is inevitable to add oil and vinegar, and all the details are vividly depicted, making it difficult to believe it or not. Fortunately, in the end, there was a note at the end of the news, which was not officially verified, and the official did not give a specific statement, which also made Lan Jia breathe a sigh of relief.
Coming out of the shock of this news, Lan Jia looked at Wan Peng and Xie Ting, and wanted to say something, but she didn't open her mouth, and went directly to the next one. When the second news came out, needless to say, Lan Jia, Wan Peng and Xie Ting, also felt that things were a little difficult to do.
The content of the second message is: Some time ago, the king was seriously ill, although the official news of the Purple Mansion said that the condition had been relieved and stabilized, but someone inside revealed that the king's illness was a malignant tumor, and his life would not last long!
Looking at the content inside, the first half seems to be taken from the official announcement, and when it comes to the middle part, a note is added, and the above content has been officially verified. In other words, it is certain that the old king was sick. And the following part should be the news from within the Purple Mansion, and at the end it is also added that it has not been officially certified, the main content is that the life of the old king will not last too long, and the Purple Mansion will soon have a new king.
Wan Peng's brows furrowed. You must know that he still depends on the high-level officials of the Purple Mansion to send him to Jinxiao. If the king is really critically ill, leaving Lan Jia's two elder brothers, it will be much more difficult to complete this matter by himself. Because according to Lan Jia, the two elder brothers are not good to him, especially the eldest brother. And the one most likely to continue on the throne is actually the eldest son.
"We should go to the Purple Mansion Headquarters to see my father right away. Lan Jia pursed her lips vigorously, as if controlling her emotions. "The news in the casino is usually not groundless, my father must be sick. ”
Wan Peng took a deep breath, looked at Xie Ting, and patted Lan Jia on the shoulder, "If that's the case, maybe things will be more complicated." If the first news can be transmitted, there must be sabotage team members participating, and the sabotage team originates from within the Purple Mansion. And the second message, too. In fact, these two pieces of news are not good for the stability of Zifu. If everything is calm inside the Purple Mansion, such news will not come out easily. What if these two messages are traps designed for you?"
Lan Jia's expression was extremely complicated, "Trap? Trap designed for me, what's the use?"
Wan Peng sighed lightly, "Didn't you say it yourself, the two brothers are actually afraid that you will fight for the throne." Although you are still young, if your father insists on giving you the throne, they can't do anything about it. In fact, I think they must know that you are not dead in the desert, and even if there is no throne, at least one of them does not want you to come back, or in other words, you don't want you to go to the Purple Mansion Headquarters when you come back. ”
"But that's my father! my own father, I can't help but look at it. Lan Jia didn't seem to have the patience to listen to Wan Peng analyze everything clearly, and there was anger in his tone, obviously disliking Wan Peng Luosuo.
"We're going to see, but be cautious. Wan Peng also sensitively captured this, "In order to prevent special circumstances, I will first give you a different look and temporarily change your appearance." Don't move. As he spoke, he took out a simple disguise array and wiped it on Lan Jia's face like sweat, and a new child's face appeared in front of them.
"Let's see what else is going on, and then we'll get out of here to get more information and talk about going to see your father. Wan Peng pressed down Lan Jia, who had already stood up, and continued to scroll down at the information here.
The rest of the information doesn't seem to be of much use to them, there are all kinds of gossip news, and even the news of a new peach blossom building has been squeezed into the top ten. Wan Peng shook his head and was about to leave with the two of them, but he felt the entire underground casino rumble several times, and some people had fallen to the ground because they were unsteady on their feet.
This is clearly not an earthquake, but a human fight. Looking at the small space here, Wan Peng immediately pulled Lan Jia and Xie Ting out of the news distribution area. The same is true for the gambling area outside, where some people have stopped playing and are looking at the entrance due to the impact of the shaking just now.
After about a few breaths, a person stumbled in at the entrance, "Oh no, the ape has appeared, it is in the courtyard, it may be about to come in, everyone retreat from the alternate exit!"
It doesn't matter if you shout, it's exploded here. People may not know where the alternate exits are, but one by one they are squeezing in the opposite direction to the entrance. Wan Peng protected Lan Jia with one hand and pulled Xie Ting with the other, standing still and not moving, but his spiritual sense had all been released. It wasn't until he felt a door appear on the wall of a place that he jumped up and took Lan Jia out of the casino and to the back of the courtyard from the top of people's heads.
Outside, it was a mess, some of the buildings had been beaten to the ground, and a lot of grass and trees had been destroyed. Looking from here, there seem to be more than a dozen apes that can be seen, and the guards of the casino are confronting them. The fireworks of the alarm in the sky have also been raised, and from below they look like fireworks.
"Let's hide and observe the situation first, and now it is not appropriate to appear directly. Wan Peng said as he took the two of them and left this chaotic place of right and wrong. Because in his intuition, it was impossible for the Apes to be so coincidental.
