Chapter 20 Ruyi Casino
After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty expelled foreign races and the people inside, quickly calmed down the chaos in the world, and the national situation was booming. Xuanzong judged the situation and forcibly suppressed the ambitions in the sect, and ordered the Demon Cult to gradually shrink and retreat, and no trouble could be caused. Over the past ten years, the Demon Cult has reached a tacit understanding with the court, and secretly communicated with each other, and would not easily violate each other's bottom line. Moreover, for the sake of restraining the Qinglong Society, the White Lotus Sect, and the Baiyun Sect, the court also needed a deterrent force, and would not be so confused that it pushed the Demon Cult into the hostile camp.
Hu Xiaotian listened to Dugu Yu's story, and felt mixed emotions, and he felt that the burden on his shoulders was as heavy as a pound. Not to mention how skillful Zhu Yuanzhang's tactics of weighing the trade-offs, it turned out that Xuanzong was trapped on the top of the snow-capped mountains, not simply because of practicing the world-destroying overlords, but because of his example and giving in to the court! Otherwise, with his ability to understand the sky and the earth, why should he be in the Central Plains? If he was galloping in the heart of the Central Plains, even if the imperial palace gathered, Zhu Yuanzhang would be unable to sleep or eat. Think deeper, Xuanzong made an appointment to fight for the king. On the surface, it was to compete for a false reputation, but in fact, he had the idea of death regardless of victory or defeat, so that Zhu Yuanzhang would be completely relieved. It can be foreseeable that the day when the two masters defeated the Xuefeng was the time when Xuanzong stepped through the void.
Hu Xiaotian left the table and knelt down, respectfully bowed to the northwest three times, and said with tears in his eyes: "Master is above. For the welfare of his clan, you endure humiliation and die without hesitation. How can your disciples live up to your high hopes? I, Hu Xiaotian, swore to Tian that you will fulfill your wish in this life, otherwise the heaven will thunder and destroy both body and spirit!"
Dugu Yu's eyes flashed and he whispered: "When the leader was at his peak, he chose to retreat bravely to avoid the death of his tribesmen due to the dispute between the Han and the Yi. I hope you remember today's oath, be selfless, be better than the blue. In the future negotiations, you will be fully represented by the God's religion, and I will be at your disposal."
Dugu Yu was able to station in the capital and was the true confidant of Xuanzong. How could Hu Xiaotian be proud of his command? He hurriedly said, "Elder, don't kill the younger generation! When you and the leader were side by side to kill the enemy and spread the world, the boy was not born yet. How dare you point fingers without knowing the limit? An old family is like a treasure. To find a way out from all the things, your guidance is crucial."
Dugu Yu said seriously: "I am proficient in martial arts and killing, planning the overall situation, intrigue, and intrigue are not the main players. Especially when dealing with officials, if you can't see through their intestines, you may even lose your underwear! At a big moment, I will not rely on my seniority. If you should make the decision, you should do it boldly. I believe in the leader's eyesight!"
Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but get the clear support of Dugu Yu and his team. In the future, he would be more confident in the dispute between the leader. You should know that as strong as Chi Yan, only three elders have become alliances so far. Xiao said, "No matter what, I will be shameless and ask the elders for advice."
Dugu Yu looked at him deeply and said, "Whether to surrender to the court, the elders in the church have a great controversy. You must keep a low profile in your actions and beware of someone secretly pulling your back. Before the time is ripe, I should keep a proper distance from you to avoid giving people a lesson."
Hu Xiaotian felt a panic inside the Demon Cult, and the clan power was mixed, some were neutral and wait-and-see, some were inclined to negotiate, and of course some regarded the Ming Dynasty as an enemy. Even though he was authorized by Xuanzong, he had not yet taken over the position of the leader of the sect, and there were still great variables. If opponents suddenly launched an attack and massacred officials to cause trouble, it would be like stabbing a knife in the back, how could he win the trust of the court? He said in a deep voice: "The elder is right, and this matter is temporarily limited to you know me, I know heaven, earth, and after the dispute between the leader is settled, it will not be too late to make it public, otherwise the harm will outweigh the benefits, and we will be in a dilemma."
Dugu Yu said: "Since you talk about the issue of successor leader, I wonder how confident is the young master?"
Hu Xiaotian said word by word: "I will win if I am determined!"
Dugu Yu smiled faintly and said, "You are so angry!" His right palm stood up like a knife, and he slashed from the air, and an invisible and qualitative knife aura slashed in front of him.
Hu Xiaotian's face was not afraid, and his two fingers rose up like a sword, facing the sword. He heard the air exploding in the air, and a strong wind rolled up on the ground, causing the tables and chairs in the hall to fall.
Hu Xiaotian said, "If the elder is willing to give advice, it is better to choose another venue to take action, otherwise it would be a pity for these precious furniture." Dugu Yu laughed and said, "Okay, the younger generation is terrifying!" He tried out the depth of Hu Xiaotian's martial arts, and there was a little more anticipation. He immediately ordered the kitchen to hold a banquet, and introduced his subordinates to him one by one. Hu Xiaotian's identity was respectful and famous, and easily defeated Zhong Han. The masters of the Demon Sect put away their unyielding and honestly met with him.
The welcoming banquet hosted by Dugu Yu was grand and short, which not only gave Hu Xiaotian enough face, but also showed frigidity just right. From beginning to end, Dugu Yan and Zhong Han did not show up at the banquet, which made those who were unknown to think a lot.
After the banquet ended, Dugu Yu and other older generations dispersed by themselves. Yao Tie, Luo Biao and other young people grabbed Hu Xiaotian, calling it a partner to appreciate the night of Jinling, and rushed out of the mansion. After a while, they came to a wide courtyard with traffic and crowded people. The plaque in front of the gate was blank and there were no words. There were three font-shaped buildings in the front yard, which were bright as day. Guards holding bows and knives could be seen walking back and forth everywhere, each of whom was strong and agile, with murderous aura.
Yao Tie smiled and said, "Young Master is a guest from afar. Brothers should have asked you to see the beauty of Qinhuai, so that you can't go to Jinling and your party. Unfortunately, the young master and Elder Yi are close to each other and don't be jealous, so we will settle for the second best. Let's go to the largest Deyi Gambling House in the city to play, how about?" Hu Xiaotian shrugged and said, "You have tied me up, can I say I won't play?" Everyone looked at each other and laughed, and walked in swaggeringly.
Deyi Gambling is decorated in luxuriously, with surging heads, including dice, paijiu, and Yezipa. The winner cried and laughed wildly, the loser sighed, and even worse, some were limp and vomited blood, dragged out like a dead dog. Apart from the dealer in charge, there are all girls like flowers who are charming and charming, and they are on call, which can meet any needs of gamblers. The bets in the Gambling House are not capped and the bottom is not guaranteed. Some people get rich overnight, and there are also ions and tragedies and comedy on earth are always staged.
After exchanged the chips, everyone scattered their own opportunities. Yao Tie was with Hu Xiaotian and led him to a gambling table. The dice here was divided into dealers and idle players. They bet first and then open, and bets can bets in size, and bets can bets. One is worth one. In fact, this tests the ability to listen to dice. If you guess just by luck, it is almost impossible to beat the dealers in the gambling house. But the noise around them is noisy, and the sound of the dice rolling changes are subtle. Who can judge accurately in this situation? Yao Tie bets five times, and lost four in one stroke, and lost two hundred taels in a blink of anger. He was so angry that he cursed and blushed.
Hu Xiaotian still couldn't hear the rules of rolling dice, but his eyes were so sharp that he clearly distinguished the subtle expression changes of the dealer's face and the amplitude of the wrist vibration. Combined with the size of the ideas he had drawn, he roughly grasped the rules of the dealer's dice. Seeing that the dealer started to shout and bet again, he whispered: "Yao Tie, don't rush to bet, look at me." Yao Tie was stunned and smiled: "Young Master, I wish you a victory and a big kill."
While shaking the dice cup, the dealer shouted: "I bought it! If you want to make a fortune, I will buy it quickly! If you buy it, you will leave it!" After that, he put the dice cup heavily.
A group of gamblers shouted: "Buy a big one for one hundred taels!" "His grandmother's, I'll bet all small this time!" "I don't believe in evil, how could I drive six big ones in a row? This time it must be small!" The chips piled up and instantly piled up into two small hills. Hu Xiao's fingers flicked, and a chip symbolizing fifty taels slid onto the table.
The dealer waited until no one placed a bet, lifted the cup cover and shouted: "Four, four, three, eleven o'clock!"
The gamblers were thrilling, some were happy, some were beaten by their chests and stamped their feet. In general, the majority of the losers were still the ones. Yao Tie was surprised and happy, and sent a message: "Is it that the capable one can do everything, and the young master has the secret method of listening to the dice, so he won the bet?" Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "No, just follow the trend." Yao Tie was not willing to believe it, his eyes dripping around.
In the second hand, when the dice cup fell steadily, Hu Xiaotian pushed two chips to the word "small". Yao Tie pushed out all the chips without hesitation, and followed him to bet "small". Betting thousands of taels of chips at one time was already considered a big bet, not to mention that seven big ones had been opened in a row, and the gamblers couldn't help but said. Hu Xiaotian was also surprised and said, "Yao Tie, I am not 100% sure. If the guess is wrong, you will lose all." Yao Tie grinned and said, "Casino is like a battlefield. As long as there is a 70% chance of winning, I dare to bet my life! I believe the young master, and I will never regret it." Hu Xiaotian patted his shoulder and turned to the dealer and said, "Let's go!"
The dealer was captured by his courage and ignorantly lifted the cover of the cup and said, "One, two, three, six o'clock!"
The next five consecutive games were played. Hu Xiaotian guessed every time, and the chips in front of him doubled. His continuous bets immediately attracted the pursuit of gamblers. More and more people followed him to bet, and they also made a lot of money. The dealer complained in his heart, and felt that the dice in his hand was as heavy as Mount Tai, and he said with a smile: "This man, you have made a lot of money tonight. Do you want to change to a table to play something else?" Yao Tie was unhappy and glared at him and said: "What do you mean? Just tens of thousands of taels of silver, the gambling house will pay for it.
Don't you get up?" Hu Xiaotian came here for pure entertainment. He neither wanted to show off too much nor provoke enemies for no reason. He tapped the table with his fingers and smiled, "Stop talking about gossip, win or lose!" The gamblers followed and said, "Why don't you let me play?" "Rock the dice!" "Hurry, hurry up, don't delay grandpa's wealth!" The dealer glanced at Hu Xiaotian resentfully, gritted his teeth and raised the dice cup and shook it hard, flying up and down, circling left and right, suddenly thumped, and shouted: "It's hard to break the gods, buy it and leave!"
The gamblers remained silent and stared at Hu Xiaotian with fierce eyes, waiting for him to make a decision first. Hu Xiaotian pushed forward with his hands, and dozens of chips were betting on the word "big". The dealer was shocked and looked over incredibly. Hu Xiaotian smiled indifferently and sent a message to Yao Tie: "Everything is too much, it should be stopped in time." Yao Tie understood it carefully and symbolically picked up a thousand taels of chips and threw it out. The rest of the people were not in charge of the matter, and they bet big ones one after another. In a blink of an eye, tens of thousands of chips were piled up on the table. The dealer let out a sigh, reached out and slowly lifted the cover of the cup, deliberately dragging it out and said: "One, three, five, nine o'clock--!"
The gamblers seemed to fall from the clouds into the abyss. After a moment of silence, they exploded with a blast: "Kill the big one and compensate the small one? Bet the wrong one!" "**, how could his grandma's bet?!" "My money flew away." But the so-called willingness to accept the loss of gambling. While everyone was wailing and heartbroken, no one dared to accuse the gambling house of thousands or insulted Hu Xiaotian.
After losing all the chips, Hu Xiaotian was happy and made an appointment with Yao Tie to return home, so he wandered around the gambling house alone. Deyi Gambling House was considerate in all aspects, and he could use fruits and snacks. There were guest rooms and bathhouses on the second floor. You can choose from a young woman with a slim and fat Yanhuan. There was even a dog fighting field to meet the bloodthirsty needs of some gamblers (read the full text of Ao Shi Jiu Chongtian).
While wandering, a girl in black with her hair combed in her hair and her hair was walking in a diagonal thorn. Her waist was like a willow, her eyebrows were picturesque, and she smiled and said with a crisp voice: "Young Master, my maid has disturbed me. My lady asked her to move to the backyard for a while."
Hu Xiaotian was shocked and asked carefully: "Do I recognize your lady?"
The girl in black smiled and said, "My lady is the head of the gambling house - Miss Fengqi."
Hu Xiaotian scratched his head and said, "What is the origin of Miss Fengqi? She and I have never met before, so I don't know what is important to discuss?"
The girl in black opened her cute eyes wide and said in a lost voice: "What, you haven't heard of the name of my lady?! I see, you are carrying a long sword on your back. You should be a man in the martial arts world. Don't you know the famous Seven Beauty of the Wulin? My lady is Feng Xiwu, the seventh-ranked "Mo Feng Gambling Fairy"! In Jinling City, people who want to see my lady are enough to circle the city three times."
Hu Xiaotian secretly exclaimed ashamed and said with a wry smile: "I am obsessed with martial arts and wandering around the world. How can I pay attention to the seven beauties of martial arts? Those who don't know will not be guilty."
The girl in black pouted her lips, snorted unhappily, turned around and left. Hu Xiaotian was curious and had nothing to do, so he followed her. The two of them bent around and came to the backyard in a moment, but they saw ancient trees and elegant environment. A simple wooden building stood by the pond. Under the snow-white light, a woman in black with a light gauze stood against the door, her eyes as deep as a sea of stars, and her eyes were shining with the light of wisdom.
Hu Xiaotian grabbed a few steps and clasped his fists and said, "How lucky is it to be summoned by Miss Fengqi?"
Feng Xiwu's eyes were circulating, and she smiled and said with a polite voice: "Young Master cultivates both civil and military affairs, and has extraordinary conversation. I guess he is the descendant of a famous family? Please forgive Feng Qi's eyes for being a clumsy, don't you know the name of the young master?"
Hu Xiaotian laughed and said, "I am the next person, Hu, and I am just a rough man who wanders around the world. How dare I pretend to be a famous family?"
A strange light flashed in Feng Xiwu's eyes and said, "Feng Qi has eyes but does not recognize Mount Tai. Please forgive Mr. Hu for his negligence. I would like to thank the young master for showing mercy. I have not driven all the kills and saved his face for the gambling house. Feng Qi must remember this favor in his heart."
Hu Xiaotian shook his hand and said, "Miss Fengqi, I actually know nothing about gambling skills. Winning and losing are all due to luck, so I dare not take credit for it."
Feng Xiwu said softly: "If the young master hadn't known that he would lose, why should he secretly mention Mr. Yao Tie and Yao? With his gambling nature, how could he stop the horse? The young master regards money as dirt, and his mind is so broad that it is beyond the reach of people. Feng Qi has no other skills, but only has a little experience in tea art, so he wants to ask the young master to sit quietly for a moment and drink a cup together?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said, "Miss Fengqi invited me, but Hu couldn't ask for it. But I don't understand the art of tea. Drinking tea only talks about sweetness and bitterness, so don't blame me for the ugly." Since the other party has a heart to make friends, he certainly cannot keep people from thousands of miles away. The Feng family dared to despise the laws of the Ming Dynasty and opened a gambling shop in the capital. Who knows what power is behind it? Today, they have formed a good relationship, and maybe they will be rewarded in the future.
Feng Xiwu felt more happy when she saw him cheerful and generous, and chuckled and said, "Drinking tea is like drinking wine. If a friend of mine sits around and talks, even if there are thousands of cups of rough tea, she will be happy." With a light wave, the girl in black understood and walked away quickly without mentioning it.
Entering the wooden building, the two sat opposite each other next to the tea table. A set of exquisite tea sets and four snacks were arranged on the tea table. There was a small red mud stove next to it, and a purple teapot was sprayed out of the mouth of the pot (the latest chapter of the Manghuang Ji). Feng Xiwu stretched out his little hand as white as jade and began to burn the pot, warm the cup, place the tea, high rush, and shave the foam. His movements were like flowing water, and he was indescribably elegant and charming. Soon, a cup of fragrant and green tea was gently handed to Hu Xiaotian.
Hu Xiaotian picked up the teacup and took a sip of the faint fragrance of tea, but he felt refreshed. Then he put a little tea soup into his mouth and savored it carefully. Then he drank the remaining tea and praised him sincerely: "Tea is good, people are better!"
Feng Xiwu felt shy and her tender white ears immediately turned red, and she said angrily: "Young Master Hu!"
Hu Xiaotian regretted it as soon as he spoke, and wanted to slap himself. Although his love debt was difficult to repay, what else could he do? He said embarrassedly: "Miss Fengqi, please calm down. Hu said without any restraint. You should just pretend that you didn't hear anything."
Feng Xiwu's eyes turned and she smiled and said, "Young Master is anxious to draw a clear line. Can you think Feng Qi is a tigress?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled bitterly, racking his brains to cover up how to hide it, suddenly heard a light sound outside the window, followed by a cold voice: "It's late at night, lonely man and widow, and we have a lot of talks. Miss Fengqi is so excited!"
Feng Xiwu stood up suddenly, looked out with complicated eyes, and whispered: "Why are you here?"
I saw a man in black next to the pond. His eyes were as cold as lightning, his face was expressionless, and his figure was slender and upright. At first glance, he looked like a green pine and a lonely peak, exuding a remarkable aura. Even in the dark, he was still as eye-catching as the bright moon.
Hu Xiaotian's eyes froze and he said in a lost voice: "It's you!" (To be continued.
