In Jiangcheng Changle Fang, Dongfang Changqin and the Cloaked Man have won four games in a row. Since they were playing points, their chips had multiplied several times. However, after all, this is Changle Fang, and the family is big, and it is still within the affordable range.

The cloaked man looked at the depressed female soul cultivator, and sarcastically said mercilessly: "You are the worst gambler I have ever seen. ”

As soon as these words came out, it was like a sharp blade that cut the last straw for female soul cultivators. I saw that the female soul cultivator's expression was distorted, and a mouthful of old blood spurted out on the spot. In the next moment, the cloaked man induced a soul thought, coagulated the blood spewed out by the gambling queen, and shook it away.

After Ge Tan saw this scene, he was surprised in his heart. Obviously, he met a master of soul cultivation. Moreover, according to his guess, the other party's divine sense should be able to pass through the dice cup and see the points of the dice. Otherwise, it is impossible to win four games in a row in betting points.

Just as he was thinking about what to do, a tall woman with delicate facial features swayed out step by step. At the same time, Xia Yuan suddenly opened her eyes and reminded, "It's a master!" ”

The cloaked man smiled and said with great confidence: "Sister Xia Yuan, don't worry, in this Changle Fang, except for the big owner, the rest can't beat me." ”

When the tall woman heard this, she covered her mouth lightly, giggled, and praised: "The talents of the five countries gathered in Jiangcheng, I thought they were all martial artists, but I didn't expect that there was another person who was good at gambling." ”

"You're not my opponent, let's let your shopkeeper come out!" The cloaked man leaned back, looking nonchalant.

After the woman bowed slightly, she said with a smile: "The concubine is not talented, she is the shopkeeper of this Changle Fang." ”

As soon as this remark came out, people who didn't know the details were surprised. Among them, Ji Yunquan asked in shock: "Isn't the shopkeeper of Changle Fang called He Baisheng?" How did you become a woman again? ”

Dongfang Changqin, as the third prince of Donghao, naturally knows the inside story. I only heard him explain: "He Baisheng is not his real name, but a nickname that He got after winning 100 games in a row many years ago. ”

"A hundred wins in a row? Oh my God, is anyone willing to bet on her? Ji Yunquan asked.

Dongfang Changqin smiled and replied: "In this impetuous world, competition has become a norm. Even if you know that you are defeated, you want to try your luck. This is called a gambler too! ”

After hearing this, Shopkeeper He covered his mouth and smiled, and quipped: "Since Your Highness knows this, why did you come to my Changle Fang?" Could it be that the dignified son is also short of money to spend? ”

Before Dongfang Changqin could reply, he listened to Yu Wazi and said, "Shopkeeper He is laughing." As the saying goes: small gambling is pleasant, big gambling hurts the body. His Royal Highness passed by your fang, and he was in a lot of interest, so he wanted to come in and have a good time. ”

"Huh...... It's a concubine who is presumptuous, I don't know if His Royal Highness is still interested? ”

Dongfang Changqin glanced at the cloaked man and said with a smile: "Master duel, I won't mix." ”

Shopkeeper He nodded, glanced at the cloaked man, then looked at Xia Yuan, and asked with a smile, "Elder Xia is here for the disciples of your sect, right?" ”

Xia Yuan said with a cold expression: "Although my Sword Sect is small, it can't tolerate others to be bullied. ”

Shopkeeper He was stunned for a moment, and chuckled: "Elder Xia said that he laughed, your sect master Jian Nantian is one of the few eight-rank pure sword immortals in the ancestral star. Moreover, as far as the concubine knows, his divine weapon is Hanlu, one of the twenty-four swords of the zodiac. In this way, who would dare to bully the Sword Sect? ”

"Hmph, then why are you detaining my sect disciple?"

"Elder Xia is angry, although the Northern Hell Sword Sect is prestigious, however, my Changle Workshop is not a place for people to go wild. The disciples of your sect don't understand the rules, and they actually destroyed the list written by the owner of my workshop in public. In this case, it is better to let it learn a long lesson, right? ”

Xia Yuan was just about to get angry, but the cloaked man stopped her: "Sister Xia Yuan doesn't need to talk nonsense with her, wait for me to pick their field and see how hard they are still talking." ”

After hearing this, Shopkeeper He sneered, looked at the stacked chips on the table, and asked, "Your Excellency doesn't think that my Changle Fang is just that, right?" Scold~! To tell you the truth, just this little chip is the price of a rough stone. ”

"Oh, let's keep playing."

After hearing this, the corners of his mouth rose, and he clapped his hands to signal the guy to change the dice cup. Ge Tan reacted and hurriedly sent a new dice cup. After Shopkeeper He took over, he looked at the cloaked man and asked, "Do you want to check?" ”

"No!" After a pause, he added, "Another pair." ”

Shopkeeper He shouted hello and ordered someone to replace it with a new one. After that, he asked, "Do you want to check?" ”

"No!" After a pause, he deliberately breathed, "Another pair." ”

Shopkeeper He smiled and asked, "Can you explain the reason?" ”

"Oh, since you're weak-hearted, you don't need to change it."

Shopkeeper He took a deep breath and ordered someone to take ten pairs directly and let the other party pick them by himself. However, after glancing at it, the cloaked man tilted his head sideways and said in disgust: "Are you Changle Fang patronizing to collect money, and you are not even willing to buy good gambling equipment?" ”

Shopkeeper He was stunned for a moment, and said with some curiosity: "Why did Your Excellency say this?" ”

The cloaked man clasped his hands on his shoulders and suddenly began to report the points: "Three-five-one, six-three-two, one-three-three, four-four-five...... One, one, two, three, six—leopards. ”

Shopkeeper He listened to the other party's report, not to mention how shocked he was. At that moment, he made a look and asked Ge Tan to quickly retreat.

However, Dongfang Changqin was curious, so he stopped: "Shopkeeper He, you might as well open everyone's eyes." After speaking, with a wave of his big sleeves, he opened ten pairs of dice. Sure enough, the points on it were exactly the same as those quoted by the cloaked man.

The cloaked man smiled and said arrogantly: "The master doesn't want to take advantage of you. ”

Shopkeeper He took a deep breath and said in a soft tone: "I'm really sorry, but that's all I have in the dice cups." ”

The cloaked man moved his shoulders and said in a nonchalant tone, "I know this, so it's still mine!" With that, he took out his own cup.

When Shopkeeper He saw it, she was shocked, because she couldn't feel the situation in the cup at all. If she used this cup to gamble, she would be unsure. However, when she thought about it, the other party naturally dared to take it out, which meant that the dice cup was not boring. Perhaps, the other party just wants to have a contest of luck. In this way, she can't lose her momentum.

At that moment, he grabbed the cloaked man's dice cup in his palm. After that, the dice were shaken in an unpretentious manner. Obviously, she trusted her judgment and skipped the inspection part.

After a while, Shopkeeper He released the dice cup and said with a smile: "Please bet!" ”

However, instead of betting, the cloaked man asked, "If you use my dice cup, then it means that the dealer is me." So, why should I bet? ”

When Shopkeeper He heard this, his heart suddenly twitched. Obviously, the other party deliberately set her up. Perhaps, as she thought, the dice cup was so safe that it was impossible to detect what was going on inside, even the cloaked man.

Thinking of this, Shopkeeper He can only admit it. But before she could place a bet, she had to do one thing. That is, ask for the rules.

The cloaked man smiled and sarcastically said, "Ouch, that's smart!" It's a pity that you're thinking too much, and I'm not going to take advantage of you in terms of rules. But since you asked, I'll tell you. ”

The rule is actually the odds, that is, 4 and 17 points, one to fifty; 5 and 16 points, 18 to 18; 6 and 15 points, 14 to 1; 7 and 14 points, 12 to 12; 8 and 13 points, one to eight; 9 o'clock, 10 o'clock, 11 o'clock, 12 o'clock, one to six. If you encounter a leopard, the dealer takes it all.

However, the cloaked man added another one to this. That is, in the event of a leopard, both parties will need to pay 20 times the compensation.

After hearing this, the pressure in his heart was still very great. Although Changle Fang's family has a big business, with the other party's full-pressure gameplay every time, I'm afraid it will be unbearable! However, the good thing is that the other party can't lose once. Therefore, Shopkeeper Ho decided to take the gamble.

There is no way, the personal reputation is small, but the reputation of Changle Fang must not be frustrated. Otherwise, after years of operation, it will be ruined!

In the first game, the shopkeeper He reported nine points, and the dealer won!

In the second game, the shopkeeper He reported ten points, and the dealer won!

In the third game, the shopkeeper reported eleven points, and the dealer won!

In the fourth game, the shopkeeper He reported twelve points, and the dealer won!

In the fifth game, the shopkeeper He reported nine points, and the dealer won!

In the sixth game, the shopkeeper He reported ten points, and the dealer won!

……

In the eleventh game, the shopkeeper reported eleven points, and the dealer won!

During this period, the chips at the cape's table change from small to large, and then from small to large. Ji Yunquan looked at the stacked chips on the table, all of which were worth one hundred green mangs, and his mood was more nervous than the cloaked man in the gambling game. Just imagine, if you lose, then you won't even regret your intestines!

In fact, not to mention Ji Yunquan, even the president of Yuwazi, Xia Yuan, the elder of the Sword Sect, and the prince of Dongfang Changqin, all felt short of breath. After all, one's luck runs out. What's more, the shopkeeper bets on the points with the highest probability of occurrence.

Soon, the twelfth game began. Shopkeeper He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. After that, he grabbed the dice cup and swiped left and right, and then let go of his hand.

When the cloaked man saw this, he sneered, "Do you think this works?" ”

Shopkeeper He squeezed out a smile and replied, "If Your Excellency is not satisfied, the concubine can shake it again." ”

However, the cloaked man held his chin and said confidently, "No, I'm satisfied." ”

These words really pierced the heart, and they pierced the heart of the shopkeeper He who had not made waves for thousands of years. At the same time, Shopkeeper He was afraid. She looked at Xia Yuan and discussed, "How about you take it away, how about this matter be stopped?" ”

Xia Yuan was naturally willing, after all, the purpose of her trip was to rescue Jiang Yubai. However, at this point, she was unable to decide.

There is no way, although the cloaked man calls her sister, but the relationship between the two is really average. In other words, their relationship was established based on Xu Jinghuai. Therefore, she did not have the confidence to let the other party give up this big gamble. After all, the chips on the table are not a small amount!

The cloaked man looked at Shopkeeper He, shook his head and sighed: "Ouch, you are really disappointing, is that how Feng Lao Er taught you?" ”

Shopkeeper He's eyes were cold, and he said in a threatening tone: "Your Excellency still has to control your mouth, so as not to flash your tongue." ”

The cloaked man raised his head and said in a tone with a hint of disdain: "Hmph! Isn't it just Feng Laoer, what's so unacceptable? ”

After hearing this, Shopkeeper He was just about to get angry, when he felt a powerful aura coming from behind him. Immediately after, a slightly older middle-aged man appeared behind her. At the same time, the guys and their stewards were all respectful.

Ji Yunquan was puzzled in his heart, so he sent a voice and asked, "Your Highness, who is this person?" ”

Dongfang Changqin touched his chin and thought for a while, and guessed: "It should be the owner of this Changle Fang!" ”

"So, he detained Lin Man'er?"

"No, it can only be said that there is a possibility of seizure. After all, as a smart person, you have to think about the consequences in addition to the benefits. ”

After Ji Yunquan heard this, he just wanted to say something, when he saw the middle-aged man speak.

"Do you want me to play with you?"

The cloaked man clasped his hands on his shoulders and said without fear: "Hmph, it looks like you can play with me." ”

"You stinky girl, you've been spoiled by your big brother."

"You don't teach me a lesson, since you have the courage to open a gambling house, you have to have the courage to continue."

Feng Lao Er sighed, and said helplessly: "Okay, if you are short of money, you just say it, you have to do this." ”

Feng Xiaoqi smiled and said coquettishly: "If I don't do this, how much can you give me with your iron rooster's virtue?" ”

Feng Lao Er looked at the tens of thousands of chips on the table and sighed: "I can't figure it out, your cultivation resources have not been broken, what is the use of these spirit stones?" ”

"Give it away!" Feng Xiaoqi replied very dryly.

After hearing this, the corners of Feng Laoer's mouth twitched, and he asked, "Who to send?" ”

"I won't tell you!"

"Humph! Look what you can. Do you think I don't know about your scourge of the fifth? To tell you the truth, that kid has to vomit as much as he eats. ”

As soon as Feng Xiaoqi heard this, he suddenly became angry and said, "Second Feng, I knew that this matter was related to you. Today, I won't tear down your signboard, I'll take your last name. ”

"You have my surname in the first place, you don't need to change it."

Feng Xiaoqi was very angry, pointed at the shopkeeper He and said, "Open the cup immediately, the master has to let you lose your family today." ”

Although Shopkeeper He didn't know Feng Xiaoqi, judging from the current situation, it was obvious that she didn't need to be involved. At that moment, after bowing slightly, he left the table.

Feng Xiaoqi scolded the slut, pointed at Feng Lao Er, and asked, "Can't you afford such a big gambling house?" ”

Feng Lao Er smiled, glanced at the onlookers in the gambling house, and arched his hand: "Everyone, it's not that I can't afford to play in Changle Fang. It's this guy who hides his head and tail, which is the old man's seventh sister, named Feng Baobao.

You may not know that the old man's seventh sister was born with soul pupils, and she can see through the dice cup at a glance. Therefore, this bottomless female boss has long been boycotted by major gambling houses, including my Changle Fang. ”

After Feng Xiaoqi heard this, he came to the second brother in an instant, grabbed his collar, and asked, "Second Feng, you are obviously cheating. How could the master have been boycotted by major gambling houses? ”

Feng Lao Er smiled and asked rhetorically, "Since you don't have one, then why do you want to wear a divine sense mask?" Could it be that he is too ugly to see people in his true face? ”

After a pause, he added, "You don't know, I think my mother was ranked seventh on the list of ancestral star beauties." As the saying goes: dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, and sons born to mice will make holes. With the posture of a mother, it is expected that it will not be far behind! Haha......"

Feng Xiaoqi was really angry, clenched his fist, and hit Feng Lao'er in the stomach hard. Moreover, in terms of fist strength, the lowest is also the fifth grade. At this moment, the atmosphere in the arena dropped instantly.

Seeing this, Shopkeeper He hurriedly went over to help, and said with concern: "Husband, are you okay?" ”

Feng Lao Er shook his head, then looked at his sister with a happy face, and praised again and again: "Good, very good, very good." If the eldest brother knew about this, he might be so happy! ”

Feng Xiaoqi shook his wrist and said angrily: "Hmph, your pigskin is really stinky and hard." ”

"Look at what you said, if my brother can't even bear your punch, how can he live until now." After a pause, he suddenly remembered something, and asked curiously, "Huh? Why do you suddenly remember to practice? If you're not mistaken, don't you hate cultivation the most? ”

"Master is willing, can you manage it?"

"Nonsense, I'm your brother, of course I can take care of it." Suddenly, he thought of a possibility and said with interest, "Oh, I see, that's funny!" I knew that I wouldn't embarrass him if I was a brother. ”

After Feng Xiaoqi heard this, he glared at Feng Lao Er angrily and scolded: "Sure enough, it's your old thing that spoils my good deeds." Tell me, what have you done to him? ”

"Don't get excited, you can't die. After all, that kid also has some means, if it weren't for his brother to suppress him with cultivation, maybe he would have suffered first. ”

"Where have the others gone?"

"Uh...... It's time to go to Shangzhou! After all, a peerless cultivation like his can only be improved in Shangzhou. ”

"Hmph, if you dare to lie to me, I'll let the eldest brother kill you." After speaking, he hurriedly left Changle Fang and rushed to Shangzhou. Of course, the tens of thousands of chips on the table naturally did not fall.

After Feng Xiaoqi left, Feng Lao Er looked at Xia Yuan and asked with a smile, "Does Fairy Xia Yuan want to play again?" ”

"I'm here to lead people, not to have fun."

Feng Lao Er was stunned for a moment, deliberately pretended not to understand, and looked at his wife. In front of everyone, Shopkeeper He briefly said Jiang Yubai's destruction of the list.

After hearing this, Feng Lao Er smiled, looked at the guests, especially Dongfang Changqin, and explained: "Everyone, the list is for reference only and does not represent the final result. After a pause, he looked at Xia Yuan again, "The disciples of your sect act impulsively, and I hope that Fairy Xia Yuan will be more restrained in the future!" ”

Xia Yuan chuckled lightly and replied: "Speaking of impulsiveness, Sister Ling seems to be more than that!" ”

Feng Lao Er snorted and said protectively: "My Feng family's daughter, even if she is impulsive, what can she do?" Last time, if it weren't for the sword Nantian's interest, he took the initiative to release people, otherwise...... Hehe! ”

Xia Yuan smiled bitterly in her heart, it seemed that Jiang Yubai was arrested, and it was really related to Feng Xiaoqi's great trouble with the Sword Sect. However, at this point, it is time to settle the matter. At that moment, he bowed slightly and left with the scarred Jiang Yubai.

After that, Dongfang Changqin, Yu Wazi and others were naturally invited by Feng Lao Er into the tea room where the guests were picked. After all, you don't have to think about it to guess the purpose of the three of them.

In the tea room, the shopkeeper He burns incense and makes tea. Feng Lao Er put on a hospitable appearance and deliberately gossiped with Dongfang Changqin. Dongfang Changqin saw that Feng Lao Er avoided talking about Lin Man'er's affairs, so he had to take the initiative to find out.

With a short silence, Feng Lao Er stroked his beard and said slowly: "Your Highness thinks that the old man has detained Lin Man'er?" ”

"You misunderstood, the three of us are just asking you for advice."

"I don't dare to ask for advice, but, according to the old man's humble opinion, everything is just the word profit. Therefore, if you want to find out why Lin Man'er disappeared, you have to see who is most beneficial to this matter. After a pause, he said slowly, "If you look at it from this point of view, Lin Man'er's disappearance seems to have a lot of harm to my Changle Fang!" ”

After hearing this, Dongfang Changqin sighed and said to himself: "But the question is, who is it beneficial to in the end?" ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw the shopkeeper He bring the brewed tea. Feng Lao Er picked up one of the cups, took a sip and replied, "Hehe...... Who is the most beneficial, Your Highness really can't see it? ”

Dongfang Changqin grabbed the stubble and arched his hand: "Please teach your seniors!" ”

Feng Lao Er blew the tea, and said earnestly: "Fight for power in troubled times, and fight for fame in the world." In the list of the old man, although Lin Man'er ranked last, this does not mean that he has no chance of winning the championship. After all, Lin Man'er's talent was the highest among the ten. Perhaps, in another thousand years, the remaining nine people will not be able to match it. ”

"What do the seniors mean is that Lin Man'er's disappearance is related to the nine people on the same list?"

Feng Lao Er played with the tea lid, and said with a smile that seemed to be smiling: "The old man didn't say this, everything is just His Highness's own speculation." ”

Dongfang Changqin scolded the old fox in his heart, but on the surface, he admitted: "What the seniors said is extremely true, everything is just random speculation by the juniors." With that, he got up and took his leave.

After the three of them left, Shopkeeper He sat next to Feng Lao Er and asked curiously: "Husband, was Lin Man'er really detained by the other nine people?" ”

Feng Lao Er knocked on his wife's skull and said with a wry smile: "You! This is also a bluff to outsiders, how can it be taken seriously. ”

"But who was Lin Man'er arrested?"

"Well, that's really a problem. It stands to reason that in the end, it may be either Tianbao Pavilion or those two. ”

"Which two?"

Feng Lao Er was so angry that he said with a displeased expression: "In addition to the eldest prince and the second prince who are vying for the throne, who else can there be?" ”

"That's not right! That Lin Man'er is the only one on the list in Donghao. If he can't participate, won't this big competition make wedding dresses for people from other countries? Although the throne is important, in comparison, it is better to put the interests of the country first! ”

"It's just your personal thoughts, and the hell knows if those two will be like you. Moreover, in the position of the prince, there are some things that they cannot decide. After all, they represent not only their own interests, but also the interests of others. ”

"In this way, I'm afraid Lin Man'er won't be able to live, right?"

"No, Lin Man'er must still be alive at the moment." Feng Lao Er replied with great certainty.

"Why is that?"

"The reason is very simple, that Lin Man'er's talent is really terrifying. Such a character, the forces behind it must be even more terrifying. No one with a little brain would do such a stupid thing. ”

I have to say that Feng Laoer's analysis is still very exquisite. Because, Lin Man'er was really imprisoned because of the battle for the throne.
