Chapter 4 Chapter Four

On the long street outside the gate of the Fortune Casino, Shu Yanan came to his carriage, turned his head to Rondo who escorted him out, and said, "Thank you, the brave man, for your kindness. If there is a chance in the future, I will reward you generously." Lang Duo hurriedly said: "If Ms. Shu wants to repay, why wait until later? I'm a bit greedy for wine, if I wait for the girl to invite me to have a drink, it will be the best repayment." In the past, Shu Yanan probably would not have refused such a proposal, but after experiencing the coercion of Cong Feihu, she has been deeply wary of these high-ranking gangsters, and now she has to meet with Mingzhu at the agreed place meet.Besides, she was only a little grateful to this man of unknown origin, but didn't have much affection, so she smiled apologetically and said, "I still have trivial things to do, please forgive me, strong man."

Rondo's eyes were full of disappointment, and he asked in a blink of an eye: "I wonder which noble family Miss Shu is from? Can you tell me her name? Will we meet again in the future?" Shu Yanan originally didn't want to reveal her name, but when she thought that the other party just wanted to protect herself, she did not hesitate to make an enemy of Nan Gonghao, she hesitated for a while, and said, "I'm not a lady in Shu Yanan. As for the future, let's do whatever happens." After she got into the carriage, she said "go" to the coachman.The driver immediately slapped his whip and drove the horse galloping away.

Rondo looked disappointedly at the carriage going away, and muttered to himself: "Shu Yanan, she is really a fairy princess from Yao Chi!" "Your Highness, do you want me to bring her here?" His entourage, Ba Zhe, hurriedly approached him and whispered in his ear.But Rondo shook his head slightly, and said in a low voice: "She is not an ordinary woman, and I don't want to offend her in the slightest. You can follow her carriage and spy on her whereabouts, but you must not reveal your whereabouts." "This subordinate understands!" Ba Zhe agreed, and immediately rushed out like a hound, and disappeared into the twilight in a blink of an eye.

In a secret room in the Fortune Casino, Nangong Hao pulled Yun Xiang to persuade him to drink frequently.This is the place where he plans his plans, even his cronies are not allowed to come in, but now, there is a sumptuous feast here, only for Yun Xiang.After drinking for three rounds, Nan Gonghao couldn't hold back and asked: "How did brother get the money from my gambling shop? Tell me quickly!" Seeing Yun Xiang smiling but not answering, he suddenly realized: "I know This is the brother's ability to eat, and it will not be leaked. However, I still have a merciless request, and I hope the brother can agree."

Yunxiang smiled and said, "Brother Nangong, what advice do you have? But it's fine." Nan Gonghao held the wine glass in front of Yun Xiang, and sincerely said: "I want to make an alliance with you by blood, and become brothers of different surnames, so that we can share the blessings and difficulties together from now on!" Yun Xiang hurriedly said: "Brother Nangong is the eldest son of the Huanghuang Nangong family, he is just a gangster, how dare he climb up?" Nangong Hao suddenly fell to his knees with a "plop", weeping and said: "What is the eldest son of Nangong family, I am facing a catastrophe now, if I don't have my brothers to help, I will die without a place to die!"

"Master, kill Yun!" Yun Xiang hurriedly knelt down and stretched out his arms to support him, "Master, please get up quickly, let's talk when we have something to say!" Nan Gonghao was unmoved and insisted: "If brother agrees to sworn worship with me, I will get up immediately; if you don't agree, please leave immediately, don't care about brother's life or death." Yun Xiang hesitated for a while, and finally said with great emotion: "Okay! Since the eldest son thinks highly of Yun so much, how dare I disobey?" Nangong Hao was overjoyed, and quickly took out the incense case that had been prepared.The two talked about Nian Geng, and then swore their blood to form an alliance, and worshiped in the sky.With a sincere face, Nan Gonghao said in a loud voice: "I, Nan Gonghao, and Yun Biao have now become brothers of different surnames. From then on, we will share the blessings and share the difficulties. If we violate this oath, heaven and earth will perish!" He didn't correct the pseudonym "Yun Biao" at this moment, he just imitated Nan Gonghao's appearance and bowed to the sky: "I, Yun Biao, and Nan Gonghao have become brothers with different surnames. With this oath, my body will be hacked into pieces, and I will not die!" Nan Gonghao hurriedly helped Yun Xiang up, and said happily: "With my brother helping me, I will be invincible from now on!"

The two sat down again, and after drinking three cups together, Nangong Hao asked with a smile: "Brothers tell each other how did you make money in my gambling shop? From now on, as long as I have a mouthful of food, you don't have to rely on that gambling to make money." gone." "Brother, you're joking." Yun Xiang hurriedly said, "Actually, it's worthless to put it bluntly. As I said last time, there is a natural loophole in the betting game. The money is passed on to the accomplices through the banker." Nan Gonghao asked suspiciously: "Last time, those old tricksters were the ones who bribed the cashiers. I'm afraid no one will dare to use this trick again. How did the brothers do it?"

Yunxiang smiled and said: "The biggest loophole in the betting game is that as long as you know the cards played by the dealer, you can occupy the empty door first, and drive other people and chips to the other three doors that must lose. The collusion created the conditions." Nan Gonghao still asked suspiciously: "The dealer is in another room, if no one helps him pass the information, how will the accomplice know what cards he played?" Yun Xiang smiled and said: "The cards he plays are information. For example, if he plays three springs in a row, it means that the next five or ten cards will be played in the order agreed in advance. Players outside see three springs in a row. , you know how the dealer will play the next few hands, so you bet on that one first, and if other people bet, they can only bet on the other three hands that will lose. In this way, the dealer will kill the gamblers and pay for his accomplices. In the end, all the money flowed into the hands of the idle family and his accomplices. The agreement between the two parties can be ever-changing, and it is different every time, so even if the dark lights of the audience are watched for a few days, the doorway will not be revealed."

Nan Gonghao suddenly realized, nodded again and again and said: "In addition, you lay down the fake soldiers to draw everyone's attention, and they will be even safer. In fact, even if there were no fake soldiers, we would not be able to catch them. They can't win that much money." Yun Xiang nodded and smiled and said, "Actually, all the thousands of arts in the world are worthless when you put it bluntly. It's just because human intelligence is exhausted, so no matter how tight the game is, there are loopholes and weaknesses. It is the essence of Qianshu." Hearing this, Nan Gonghao's eyes gleamed, he stared at Yunxiang and said, "There is a casino, and my brother is just about to ask my brother to show his skills."

"Where?" Yunxiang asked casually. "Yangzhou Muma Villa!" Nangong Hao said coldly. Yun Xiang's heart shuddered, and there was something strange on her face.Seeing this, Nan Gonghao hurriedly asked: "Brother also knows about Muma Villa?" Couldn't be more familiar!Yun Xiang sighed inwardly.It used to be Luojiazhuang, but it was occupied by Nangong Fang, the third son of Nangong, and built a horse racing, gambling house, restaurant and brothel as a whole. It is a famous gold selling cave in the outskirts of Yangzhou.Since he returned to Jiangnan, he has been paying attention to the Muma Villa and the entire Nangong family.Now, he finally saw a glimmer of opportunity and hope.Yunxiang suppressed the excitement in her heart, pretending to be inexplicable and asked: "Isn't that the property of your Nangong family? How could you..."

"To be precise, it is the property of the third child!" Nangong Hao shot a frightening coldness in his eyes, "In front of my brothers, I am not afraid of exposing my family's ugliness. Thinking of me, Nangong Hao, the eldest son of a dignified Nangong family, but was kicked out. When I arrived in Hangzhou, far away from family affairs, I spent my days guarding the pitiful property of the Fortune Casino. This is all thanks to my third brother! He went to the position of my heir. He used all means to seize agriculture, even my eldest brother. He is not benevolent, and I am also unrighteous. More than a hundred thousand taels of money appeared in my casino The lack of money, unable to account to the old man, had no choice but to take the risk and go to his Wrangler Villa to get some money to make up for it. Brother, you must help me, or brother will die!" Yun Xiang hesitated and said, "If it's just for money, brother still has some savings, big brother can use it for emergency. Although it's not enough for one hundred thousand taels, but I don't think Nangong Sect Master will punish big brother just for tens of thousands of taels of silver. .” "Brother's kindness is appreciated, but it's not all for money." Nan Gonghao said hastily, "I have fallen out of favor with the old man, and I have no hope of regaining my position as heir, but now there is an opportunity in front of me. You have to catch it no matter what, so there can be no more mistakes." "What chance?" Yunxiang asked hurriedly. Nan Gonghao suddenly laughed and said: "The youngest was smart all his life, but he was careless and let a woman castrate him. It's God who opened his eyes and gave me such a chance again. Now that he is gone, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to see him again." To protect the position of heir, if I transfer the shortfall to his horse-grazing villa again, I am afraid that my father will have to weigh up whether he should be sent to the palace earlier and let him serve the emperor." Nangong Hao couldn't help it after speaking. Laughing, very proud of my humor. Yun Xiang thought for a while, then hesitated and said, "Even if I get the money from the Muma Villa, the third son must have a way to settle the debt, right?" "You don't need to worry about this," Nangong Hao quickly explained, "Whether it's the Muma Villa or my Fortune Casino, the accountants are all accountants assigned by the father, so no one has the right to tamper with the accounts. Just let go, brother." Do it, if you can make the business of Muma Villa plummet, you will be doing my brother a great favor!" Yun Xiang hesitated and said, "I'm not familiar with the Muma Villa, and I don't know the security situation there, I'm afraid..." "Brother, don't worry, I will give you a detailed explanation of all the situation in the Muma Villa. With my brother's ability, I will be able to succeed in no time!" Nangong Hao said anxiously: "Whether you want money, people or information, I will do my best to help. Remember, this matter must not leak the slightest bit of wind!" Yun Xiang hurriedly said: "Brother knows well, even if he is caught on the spot, he will never betray eldest brother." "Brother, brother, don't worry." Nangong Hao said with a smile, "You go to prepare immediately, and I will try to cover it up for Master Mo. I will write down all the details of the Muma Villa in another day. You, you can speak up if you have any request. But I will not intervene in the action. I will not have anything to do with you again. Everything depends on you, brother. If you miss, I will not admit that this matter has nothing to do with you. I have nothing to do with it." "I understand." Yun Xiang nodded understandingly, "Then I'll go back and prepare." Nan Gonghao nodded and said with a meaningful smile: "With my brother's talent, he must not be willing to be under others for a long time. Master Mo is old, he The foundation of my brother should be inherited by younger and more talented people. My brother helped me this time, but if my brother is useful in the future, I, Nangong Hao, will definitely help me and will never refuse." "Brother was joking, it's a brother's honor to be able to serve you. I'll go back and start preparing, and I will never let you down." Yun Xiang quickly expressed his loyalty.He still doesn't know how deep the relationship between Master Mo and Nangonghao is, so he never dared to show any strangeness to Nangonghao's proposal, and could only smile ambiguously. Seeing that it was getting late, Nan Gonghao didn't want to stay.After sending Yunxiang away from the elegant room, he suddenly clapped his hands, and a shadow-like man in black immediately entered quietly from the window.Nangong Hao handed a stack of silver bills to the man, and said in a low voice: "That man is your target. If he misses, you must not allow him a chance to confide a word." The man in black nodded understandingly, only Dead men don't tell any secrets, and any killer knows that. After the man in black above Nangonghao quietly left, he let out a long breath, secretly proud of his plan to kill two birds with one stone.If the plan goes well, not only can he make up for his shortfall of one hundred thousand taels of silver, but he can also take the opportunity to attack the third child and make the father reconsider the choice of heir;brother?A sneer appeared on the corner of Nangong Hao's mouth. In this world, even brothers would kill each other, let alone a brother with a different surname that he just met not long ago. An ordinary carriage rattled along the long street, and Buzzer followed the prey steadily like a hound.He had never seen His Royal Highness Rondo care so much about a woman, so he didn't dare to be careless.The carriage finally came to an unremarkable small inn, and saw the masked woman surnamed Shu get out of the carriage, and was immediately welcomed in by a young man with bright eyes and bright teeth. The two obviously had an unusual relationship.Ba Zhe immediately followed with a murderous heart in his heart, he already regarded the woman as His Highness's woman, anyone who dares to compete with His Highness for a woman will die! He made up his mind, and immediately climbed up to the eaves of the inn like a monkey show, and followed the two into the inn.It was already late at this time, and with the cover of night, he was not afraid that someone would discover his whereabouts.Seeing the two people enter the guest room upstairs, Ba Zhe touched the top of the window from the eaves, and was about to peek at the situation in the room with an "upside-down golden hook", when he suddenly felt a faint chill coming from behind him, the chill came so abruptly, He was so close at hand in an instant, he couldn't help trembling, and immediately froze on the spot. "Turn around slowly." Someone behind him shouted in a low voice.Ba Zhe turned around according to his words, only then did he see clearly that behind him was a sturdy masked man, staring at him covetously.The opponent's long knife could not bear it, it was less than a foot away from his neck, even he was not sure if he wanted to avoid it completely at this distance, he was very surprised, how could there be such a master hidden in this small inn? "Who are you? Tell me your name!" The masked man looked at Ba Zhe and asked in a low voice. Thinking of His Highness's instructions, Ba Zhe dared not reveal his identity, so he had to put all his eggs in one basket and fight desperately.He ignored the threat of the opponent's long knife, and suddenly drew the knife in his hand, and took advantage of the momentum to attack the opponent's chest.He does not hesitate to use the method of harming both sides, and fight to the death.The masked man didn't expect him to be so brave, he hesitated for a moment, and saw the light of the knife approaching his chest.He hastily turned sideways to dodge, and at the same time swung his knife to slash down. Because he wanted to avoid the opponent's desperate blow, his blade was slightly deflected, and only slashed across Bazhe's shoulder.Ba Zhe groaned in pain, rolled on the ground, retreated several feet, and immediately ran away clutching his wound.Bloodstains were sprinkled along the way, and it seemed that he was seriously injured. The masked man didn't chase after him, he just looked down at his chest, the front of his chest was torn apart, and there were shallow scars on his chest, even though it was only a superficial wound, it still made him speechless in astonishment.You must know that with his martial arts, it is very difficult to meet an opponent who can hurt him, so he couldn't help asking in his heart: Who is this guy?It turned out to be so brave!The sword technique is so decisive and fierce, it must not be the martial arts of the Central Plains!The masked man looked at the direction where Ba Zhe disappeared, feeling both surprised and suspicious.Slowly taking off the veil, revealing Lin Donghai's cold and resolute face.Seeing that there was no abnormality around him, he turned back to the inn lightly, just as quietly as when he came. The fight on the eaves alarmed the guards watching outside the inn, several guards rushed to Lin Donghai's room, they were very surprised to see that his chest was injured, they apologized quickly, and helped him change his clothes and apply medicine.Lin Donghai warned: "Report the princess's whereabouts to the lord secretly, everyone cheer up, and don't be careless." The movement on the eaves did not escape Shu Yanan's ears.She had walked through escorts alone before, and her experience in the world is naturally not comparable to that of Princess Mingzhu.Hearing movement in the next room, she quickly signaled to Mingzhu, Mingzhu was alarmed immediately, quickly blew on the lights, hid in the crack of the door and looked out, just in time to see a guard coming out of the next room.Mingzhu recognized that it was the guard of the palace, and hurriedly whispered to Shu Yanan: "It's Lin Donghai!" Shu Yanan originally thought that he had thrown Lin Donghai away, but he quietly followed him in the dark.If it was in the past, she would be happy to have Lin Donghai secretly protecting Mingzhu, but now that she has just got a large sum of money from the gambling house, she is naturally full of soldiers, so she said to Mingzhu without thinking: "We have to take advantage of the chaos and leave." Naturally Mingzhu had no objection, the two immediately packed up their bags, turned out of the inn through the window, and escaped quietly in the dark.When the guard found that there was no one in the room, the two had left for a long time.Several guards hurriedly confessed to Lin Jianghai, but he said nonchalantly: "It's okay, the princess can't escape from our tracking." Having learned the lesson from last time, he has already put "Thousand Lixiang" on the clothes of the princess. Well-trained hounds, even if the princess escaped a hundred miles away, they would not be able to escape the hounds' pursuit. In an elegant and simple restaurant by the West Lake, Yun Xiang set up a banquet to reward everyone who participated in this operation, and distributed the harvest to everyone according to their heads.Although not much money was allocated to each of them, everyone still cheered happily.Mingzhu, in particular, was full of hope and said: "Brother Yun, if you do something again in the future, remember to ask us to cooperate again!" Yunxiang smiled but didn't answer, the actions of Muma Villa were no better than Fortune Casino, he didn't want to drag Mingzhu and Shu Yanan into danger, so he didn't look to let them know.Unexpectedly, Jin Biao rushed forward and said, "We happen to have a plan, I wonder if you are interested?" "Okay!" Mingzhu immediately cheered.She has also heard of the Muma Villa, whose fame and status are by no means comparable to that of the Fortune Casino.In fact, with her background, money is just an abstract figure in her mind, but she is very excited to get money in a heavily guarded gambling house by relying on resourcefulness. Yun Xiang didn't want her to take risks, so she hurriedly said, "This action is extremely risky, so I don't want to implicate you." "I'm not afraid! Brother Yun is extremely smart, your plan must be perfect!" Mingzhu said anxiously.She has long admired Yunxiang so much, why is she afraid of any danger? Yunxiang knew that she couldn't persuade Mingzhu, so she couldn't help turning to Shu Yanan, hoping that she would persuade her.But Shu Yanan said, "I want to participate in this operation." Yun Xiang was a little surprised, he found something strange in Shu Yanan's eyes, but he didn't know what it was.He pondered for a while, and said earnestly: "The Muma Villa is no better than the Fortune Gambling House. With its strict security and the shrewdness of the third son of Nangong, if we miss, the whole army may be wiped out, and no one will be able to escape. Therefore, I don't want you involved." Ke Menglan finally found an opportunity to demonstrate against her rival, and immediately said with a half-smile, "Brother Yun doesn't want outsiders to participate in this operation, Miss Shu, please forgive me." Shu Yanan ignored Ke Menglan, just stared into Yunxiang's eyes and said coldly: "You have only two choices for this operation, either let me participate or cancel it, other than that, there is no other way." Yun Xiang frowned, "Ms. Shu is threatening?" "It's okay if you understand it that way." Shu Yanan said coldly, "We can't be allies in this operation, we can only become enemies." Ke Menglan slapped the table and said angrily: "You are so shameless, you are begging for Brother Yun, what is your intention?" Shu Yanan ignored Ke Menglan's sarcasm, just stared at Yun Xiang and said, "Whether to be an ally or an enemy, please give Yanan an answer, Mr. Yun." Yun Xiang secretly thought that if Shu Yanan wanted to play tricks secretly, and even inform Nangong, all his plans would come to naught.After weighing it for a while, I could only say: "If you want to participate, you must agree to one condition. All actions must be in accordance with my plan, and you must not make your own decisions." Shu Yanan immediately nodded and said: "No problem, let's make a high-five oath!" "Okay!" Seeing that Yunxiang finally agreed, Mingzhu couldn't help cheering with joy when a stone fell from his heart. Ke Menglan was so angry that her face was livid, but she couldn't get angry, so she gave Jin Biao a hard look, blaming him for leaking the plan and becoming someone else's pawn to blackmail Yunxiang.But Jin Biao was innocent. He was originally worried that the Muma Villa was heavily guarded, and he wanted Yunxiang to dispel this crazy plan of pulling out teeth, so he intentionally told Shu Yanan about his actions, hoping that she would help persuade Yunxiang, but it turned out to be self-defeating and self-defeating. It's hard to ride a tiger.He had no choice but to spread his hands to Ke Menglan as an apology. The plan is certain, Yunxiang stood up with the cup, raised his cup and said: "Let's drink this cup together, I wish this operation will be a success!" The five people toasted together, and for their respective goals, they formed an alliance to declare war on the Muma Villa! The Muma Villa on the outskirts of Yangzhou has long since erased all traces of Luojiazhuang.Although it is far away from the urban area, it is still noisy every day, singing and dancing every night.It is a huge industry jointly built by the Nangong Family and Sichuan Tangmen, and it is also a Xiaoyao Cave where they receive black and white people from all walks of life. At dusk, Nangong Fang began to inspect his territory as usual.Although Muma Villa is a joint venture with Tangmen, the Nangong Shou family holds 70% of the shares, and the real manager is Nangongfang.Since his hand was injured, his father asked him not to interfere with family affairs for the time being in order to let him recover from his injuries.This was originally a concern for him, but in Nangong Fang's view, it was a lowering of his status in his father's mind.He was born with a strong desire for power, and he was unwilling to be reduced to a useless person. Therefore, he paid more attention to the foundation he created by himself, the Muma Villa, and paid more attention to it.Under his careful management, the Muma Mountain Villa is thriving and making money day by day. All the guys I met along the way greeted him tremblingly.Ever since he was injured, he has become sensitive, suspicious and moody.Seeing the guys whispering to each other, he suspected that he was talking about himself. For this, many people were severely punished for no reason, and everyone had to be careful in front of him.The news that he was disabled had already been quietly spread in the family, which forced him to use harsh methods to maintain his last dignity. It was still early, and the casino hadn't officially opened yet, but many gamblers had come to the door one after another.Nangong Fang strolled around the lobby as usual, and nodded to the familiar gamblers. Nangong Fang never dared to neglect these fat sheep who brought him wealth and status. A well-dressed young scholar with a calm demeanor caught Nangong Fang's attention.Just by looking around and looking around, with a curious look on his face, he knew it was his first time visiting the door, but Nangong felt a vague sense of familiarity in his heart.He looked at the other party suspiciously, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him.It looks like the scholar is about the same age as him, but there is a kind of vicissitudes in his brows that ordinary people don't have, so he looks wiser and more mature than his peers.Noticing that the person who came with the scholar was a regular visitor here, he quickly went up to greet him and said, "Mr. Wen, did you bring friends to play today?" That slightly down-and-out Mr. Wen was a dandy from a poor family. He had been relying on attracting some customers for the gambling house and getting some rewards to get by, and was never looked down upon by Nangong.Seeing Nangong Fang coming to greet him in person today, he was immediately flattered and hurriedly said: "The third son came just in time, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Yun who came all the way from the capital; this is the big boss of Muma Villa, Nangong San son." That Mr. Yun seemed a little surprised, he clasped his fists and said: "I have admired the third son's name for a long time, but when I saw him today, he is indeed handsome and handsome, with an extraordinary demeanor." Nangong Fang was accustomed to such compliments, and looked at the other party coldly. He asked, "Mr. Yun is a scholar, right? Why do you have time to come to my small place to play?" "Third Young Master, don't you welcome scholars here?" Young Master Yun giggled, and suddenly whispered into Nangong Fang's ear, "I'm just dressing up for my parents. I like eating, drinking and having fun more than studying." "Mr. Yun was joking, who doesn't like to eat, drink and have fun?" Nangong Fang smiled knowingly, "Have fun, and I'll send two chips from the counter as a gift to meet you." Patrol.He already regarded Mr. Yun as another dude, so he didn't want to socialize too much.But the vaguely familiar feeling in my heart still lingers.He couldn't help calling a dark lamp from a gambling house, and whispered: "That new Mr. Yun, tell the brothers to pay attention, he will report to me every move he makes." , Nangong Fang couldn't help asking in his heart: Am I becoming more and more suspicious?No one is pleasing to the eye. After Nangongfang left, Yunxiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.Today, I went to the Muma Mountain Villa for the first time to step on the plate, and I didn't expect to meet Nangong Fang.Not seeing him for a few years, he seems to be a little less elegant than before, and a little more cold and gloomy.It was chilling, and it wasn't until he left that the uncomfortable feeling gradually dissipated. "Mr. Yun is really lucky. He actually made the third son look at him differently. He asked the counter to send chips at the first meeting." Mr. Wen chattered on the side.He is the guide bridge that Yunxiang purposely made friends with. With the recommendation of someone like him, everything will appear more natural, and it will not attract the attention of others.Unexpectedly, the more he was afraid of attracting attention, the more he caught Nangong Fang's attention instead, which Yunxiang did not expect.He also thought of changing his face to disguise himself, but he was worried that any disguise might leave a hole, so he simply showed his true colors.Fortunately, years of prison life have fundamentally changed his appearance and atmosphere.Just now when he met Nangong Fang face to face, he could no longer recognize that the young scholar in front of him was that unlucky Luo Xiucai back then.Although Nangonghao had already told Yunxiang all about the Muma Villa, he still wanted to see it.Looking around the resplendent gambling hall, he seemed to see the shadow of Luojiazhuang again, and couldn't help thinking in his heart: Luojiazhuang, I'm finally back!I want to take back the ancestral property of the Luo family! A maid came to Yun Xiang with a tray, and said gracefully, "Master Yun, this is a bargaining chip from our boss, please accept it." "Thank you! Thank you!" Mr. Wen snatched the two chips without waiting for Yunxiang to agree, and said in admiration, "The third son is really generous, he is a bargaining chip of twenty taels of silver, brother Yun, you are so proud of yourself. " Seeing that Mr. Wen was reluctant to hand over the chips to himself, Yunxiang laughed and said: "If brother Wen's hands are itchy, you can play with it first. I will turn around casually. Brother Wen doesn't have to worry about me." Upon hearing this, Mr. Wen said, Immediately overjoyed, he immediately took the chips and went. At this time, the gambling houses have started to gamble one after another, and the crisp sound of Pai Gow and dice can be heard in the hall.Yunxiang wandered around, looking around curiously, seeing the busiest table for playing Pai Gow, so she went over to have a look, and found that the tenth hand of Pai Gow here was replaced with a new one, and it was impossible to win money by relying on memory, it seems Nangong spent a lot of money on safety precautions. Yun Xiang finally came to the row of tables where the dice were played, and saw that the croupiers who rolled the dice were all young girls, and all of them were very attractive.He chose a slightly jerky croupier, sat down across from her, took out a hundred taels of silver bills, and the clerk immediately exchanged them into ten ten taels of silver chips for him. There are many ways to gamble on dice. At this table, two dice are placed in a dice cup, and the croupier shakes the dice cup, and then the gamblers place their bets.You can bet on the size or the point, and there are different odds according to different situations.The croupier is a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, with a round face as cute as an apple. The croupier shook the dice cup, put it on the table, and signaled to Yun Xiang: "My lord, please place your bet." Yun Xiang bet a chip at six, but when he opened the cup, it was nine. He shook his head annoyedly, signaling the croupier to continue.After the dice cup stopped, he bet the two chips at three and ten respectively, who knew that it was still nine.Seeing this, the croupier kindly reminded: "Young Master, although you can get ten times the payout for betting, the chance of winning is very small. You can choose the size of the bet, so the probability of winning is much higher." "Thank you for your advice, miss." Yun Xiang smiled and placed two chips in the "big" position. This time, she was really lucky and hit the bet.He immediately rewarded a chip to the croupier: "It's you who brought me good luck, and you deserve to be rewarded!" "Thank you, sir!" The croupier bowed happily. Although the croupier often received tips from customers, it was extremely rare for a guest to reward ten taels of silver chips at a time.She quickly put away her chips and became more courteous to the young master.The two played and chatted, and gradually became acquainted.It's a pity that Lucky didn't stay on Yunxiang's side all the time, he gambled for a while, and lost all his chips of one hundred taels of silver.The croupier said to him apologetically: "Young master seems to be unlucky today, you can make money again in another day." Yun Xiang liked this croupier who was considerate of customers, so she teased with a pun: "Well, I'll come back another day. What's the girl's name? Next time, I'll come to you." The croupier's face was reddish, and he said in a low voice, "Young Master, you can just call me Xiaoqian." "Xiaoqian, a very beautiful name." Yunxiang nodded with a smile, as if thinking of something, she hurriedly said: "By the way, I wonder if Miss Xiaoqian can give me those two dice as a souvenir?" A little embarrassed: "This is against the rules, the boss knows that he will be punished." Yun Xiang shook her head full of regret: "I originally wanted to use this dice as a commemoration of our first meeting. Since the girl is in trouble, then forget it." The croupier's face was a little red, and he couldn't help but look at the guy who matched the codes. The guy also got a lot of rewards from Yunxiang, so he pretended not to see it.The croupier quietly handed the two dice to Yunxiang, and said in a low voice, "Young master, keep it well, but don't let the manager see it." Yun Xiang hid the dice, got up and left the table.He knew from Nangong Hao that the gambling house in the Muma Villa is very clean and usually does not cheat. After all, for a luxury casino of the size of the Muma Villa, reputation is more important than gold.He also confirmed this with his own eyes through the moment of playing just now.So the dice will not be false, but he wants the dice for another purpose. After leaving the gambling house, Yunxiang went to other places in the villa.The Muma Villa occupies a very large area, and the gambling house is only a small part of it. Behind it are the horse racetrack, the cockfighting arena, as well as the dog fighting arena and the beauty arena brought from Bashu.However, the more categories, the more possible loopholes, Yunxiang firmly believes in this.He was no longer satisfied with just getting one hundred thousand taels of silver from the Muma Villa in order to win Nangonghao's trust.He wants to deal a fatal blow to the Muma Villa, making it never recover from a fall. When Yunxiang returned to the Friendship House that he temporarily rented in Yangzhou City, he saw that Jin Biao had been waiting impatiently.Yun Xiang hastily explained the process of stepping on the plate just now, and wrote a list and handed it to Jin Biao, saying: "Go and purchase these things as soon as possible, they may be needed for this operation." Jin Biao looked at the list and saw that there were many inexplicable things such as beef bones, mercury, lard, etc., and there were even prescriptions for some uncommon medicines. He couldn't help asking curiously: "Are you sick? Why? Want to buy medicine?" Yun Xiang smiled and said: "I can't explain clearly in a few words, you go buy according to the list, and you will know when the time comes." "You boy, you just like to keep things out of your mother's mouth." Jin Biao muttered dissatisfiedly, and went out as promised It didn't take long for him to buy back what Yun Xiang wanted. From then on, Yunxiang locked herself in the room alone at night, and went to the Muma Villa to play casually during the day.It wasn't until ten days later that he told Jin Biao: "You go and inform Ms. Shu and the others that they can officially act according to the plan tonight." For safety's sake, the three of Shu Yanan did not live with Yun Xiang and Jin Biao, and they lived together with Yun Xiang and Jin Biao. Jin Biao is responsible for contacting the three of them. After finishing the arrangement, Yunxiang came to the gate and whistled towards the end of the long street. A carriage came up to him, and the driver asked with a smile, "Where are you going, my lord?" After boarding the old carriage, he uttered a few words coldly through the gap between his teeth: "Wu Ma Villa!"
