Volume 1 Chapter 71: The Unkind Comer(1/2)
After listening to Fatty Niu's story, Xiang Yun gave the latter a thumbs up!
"I admire you, I admire you! You can bet so earth-shattering, soul-stirring, and ups and downs when you enter a gambling house. You fat man is really the first. You lost with your saber and sword, and even the yellow mantle. Why don't you give your wife a chance too?"
Enter it!"
Hearing this, Fatty Niu lowered his head with a slight blush, and said sheepishly: "Then boss... I haven't thought about it, isn't it because I don't have a wife yet?"
"Holy shit!"
With a loud bang, Fatty Niu was kicked to the ground by Xiang Yun and rolled several times!
"Ouch..." Fatty Niu screamed in pain and lay on his back, struggling like a turtle turning over.
"You're fucking hopeless. Get out of here. It's obvious that you lost the bet and didn't admit it, but you hit someone first. When it comes to your mouth, it turns out that they beat you in an unreasonable way, right?"
Xiang Yun is really convinced by this fat guy, he has never seen such a top-notch person!
"No... Boss, you must not leave me alone! I left my hometown and came to this bitter cold place in the northwest to be with you. I am helpless here and you are the only brother. If you don't care about me,
Who will take care of me!"
Fatty Niu was really anxious now, almost crying, for fear that Xiang Yun would not care about this matter.
Xiang Yun frowned when he heard this. He wanted to really ignore this guy, but he couldn't bear it in his heart.
In his memory, although this guy was also a playboy, he was indeed his brother. At least he didn't inflict pain on him like others. He always stood by his side when he was in the most difficult times.
"Hey... you damn only know how to cause trouble for me!" Xiang Yun sighed and cursed!
Hearing this, Fatty Niu suddenly showed a look of surprise. Xiang Yun's words were undoubtedly a sign of agreement!
"Boss, you...you are really willing to save me!"
"Hmph! Do you think I want to save you?" Xiang Yun said angrily, and then asked: "Who are those people? Don't they know your identity?"
Xiang Yun was very surprised. As Niu Fatty, no matter how courageous the opponent was, he would only win Fatty Niu's money. He actually dared to win Fatty Niu's saber and sword, and even the yellow mantle given by the late emperor.
Dare to win, this is a bit audacious.
When Fatty Niu talked about this, he became even more angry and said with an indignant look.
"Hey... Boss, don't mention it. At first I thought they didn't know my identity. After being beaten by them, I announced my name. I thought I could scare the shit out of them, but I didn't expect this group of people to still...
It’s so audacious.”
"They actually said, 'I don't care what the hell you are, Mr. Shangshu. Even if the prince in the city comes, we won't be afraid!'"
"Look, look, boss, these unruly people under your rule are going to hell!" Fatty Niu's spit flew everywhere in anger, and his flesh tumbled!
"Um……?"
As the saying goes, the speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional. Fatty Niu just felt angry when he said this, but Xiang Yun smelled a hint of unusual weirdness, even a smell of conspiracy!
There seems to be something wrong with this matter today, and there are at least three major doubts about it!
First, Xiang Yun knows very well the gambling skills of Fatty Yiniu. When entering a casino, he will definitely lose nine out of ten times he gambles. The only time, it was probably because others were concerned about his identity and let him go. How could he be possible today?
He won several million taels of silver from others in a row.
Secondly, the other party gambled with Fatty Niu and it was just a matter of winning money. How could he even dare to take Fatty Niu's saber and sword, and even the yellow mantle given by the late emperor.
He even dared to take action against the dignified Minister of Justice and the son of a big boss in the court. No matter how tough the backstage of this gambling house is, it wouldn't be so arrogant.
The third one is Fatty Niu's last words. The other party said, "No matter what kind of minister you are, even if the prince in the city comes, we are not afraid."
This sentence sounded like he was boasting, but it was more like he was giving Fatty Niu a direction. It seemed that he was asking Fatty Niu to come to him for help. After all, he was Fatty Niu's only supporter in Qinfeng City.
These three doubts would have been impossible to imagine if the former young prince had the IQ. I am afraid that as soon as he heard that the other party did not even take him seriously, he would immediately jump up and find a place for his brother.
And Xiang Yun is familiar with Jin Yong's martial arts novels, and is familiar with the conspiracy and tricks of the opponent. He immediately discovered the opponent's flaws.
He vaguely felt that this bet was not actually set up for Fatty Niu. The other party's real target seemed to be him!
"Who wants to harm me?"
Xiang Yun first thought of the group of powerful children with the same noble status as himself in Dragon City, the imperial capital.
Back in Longcheng, Xiang Yun relied on his status as the heir apparent and the connivance of his uncle, the current emperor, to offend these guys. It would be possible if they were here to tease him!
No matter what, the other party dared to provoke Qin Fengcheng in his own territory. As the deputy city lord of Qin Fengcheng and the brother of Fatty Niu, Xiang Yun naturally couldn't hold back.
"Okay, Fatty Niu, let's go find a place right now!" Xiang Yun suddenly waved his hand and said very energetically!
"ah……"
Fatty Niu didn't expect Xiang Yun's change to happen so quickly, and before he could react, he was stunned when he heard this, and then nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice.
"Hey, okay, okay! I will lead the way for you right now!"
Fatty Niu turned around and was about to leave, but Xiang Yun stopped him, then turned to Lin Waner and said: "Wan'er, go get one million taels of silver notes for me!"
Lin Waner looked at Xiang Yun hesitantly: "My eldest son, you...you really want to go?" Lin Waner was afraid that her eldest son would hang out with Fatty Niu for two days and then return to his previous state, hanging around brothels and gambling houses all day long.
"Oh, Miss Wan'er, go and get the money quickly. I'm protecting your eldest son, don't worry!" Fatty Niu was very anxious at the moment, for fear that he would be late and someone else would run away.
Xiang Yun also nodded towards Lin Waner, and then Lin Waner turned around and went to the warehouse to get money for Xiang Yun!
A moment later, Xiang Yun, the leader of Qin Fengcheng East Street, followed by Fatty Niu and Lin Wan'er, walked onto the street in a swaggering manner, heading straight to Qin Fengcheng's west city gambling house!
The three of them were walking on the road, even if they didn't want to attract attention, the fat man and the walking meatball were too conspicuous. Moreover, they were shirtless, and the fat all over their bodies was shaking like waves.
But this guy still held his head high and had a majestic and high-spirited look! It attracted people all over the street to watch like a gorilla!
Lin Wan'er and Xiang Yun on the side both wanted to stay away from this guy, with expressions like "I don't know this guy!"
"Fat Niu, can't you keep a low profile?" Xiang Yun couldn't help but remind him.
Fatty Niu shook his head when he heard this, and said with a proud look on his face: "Boss, in Qin Feng City, you are the boss, I am the second, and the city owner is the third. If our boss and the second come out, it's not like crabs are on the road - they are tyrannical!
"
"And my dad said that no matter what this person loses, he can't lose his momentum!"
"Uh..." Xiang Yun couldn't help but cover his face with his hands, feeling that he was completely convinced by this guy.
The three of them walked all the way for about a quarter of an hour, and finally arrived at the Xicheng area. Xicheng is the place with the largest number of casinos in the entire Qinfeng City. Fatty Niu hangs out here seven or eight days out of ten.
At this moment, Fatty Niu was walking at the front to lead the way for the two of them. They walked through corridors and alleys and passed many casinos that were booming in business, but Fatty Niu didn't enter.
But he led Xiang Yun and the others to a very quiet and narrow alley where few people walked around. Fatty Niu walked in front with a vigorous pace. Xiang Yun was even afraid that this guy would be caught by the walls on both sides.
"Hey, Fatty Niu, how did you come to this nook and corner to gamble? How did you find it in all the twists and turns?" Xiang Yun was very confused.
"Hey... I was passing by here today and I heard two gamblers chatting in the alley. They said that there was a new casino opened here. It had a good environment and was very lucky, so I asked them where they were.
These two people were kind enough to bring me here."
Xiang Yun couldn't help but feel black lines all over his head when he heard this. He knew without even thinking that this fat guy had probably fallen into someone else's trap.
Those two people must have deliberately lured this guy into taking the bait. They only have the IQ of a fat man. They are able to praise others for their kindness after being deceived. They are really typical of people who were betrayed and helped count the money.
"How long will it take to arrive?" Xiang Yun asked impatiently.
"We'll be there soon. Turn the corner in front and you'll find the small courtyard on the second floor!" Fatty Niu quickly comforted him.
After a long while, the three of them finally arrived at the door of a small courtyard of a low shanty townhouse. This small courtyard looked very inconspicuous.
Most of the wall skin has fallen off, and there are no carvings on the roof ridges and eaves. The outside of the door is even more primitive. The doorway is covered with two moss-covered bluestones and is lightly covered by two skewed bamboo woven wooden doors. There are faint sounds of gamblers rushing inside.
Note the sound.
"Is this here?" Xiang Yun asked with some confusion.
"Yes... yes, this is it!" Fatty Niu quickly stepped forward and pushed open the wooden door, opened the two curtains inside the door, and led them in!
Xiang Yun stepped into it and immediately felt refreshed!
There is a wide area in front of you. The house is clean and tidy, and there is a faint fragrance. The surrounding window rails and stone pillars are all carved with exquisite patterns, and there are more than a dozen beautiful and neat calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall. The environment is very comfortable and elegant.
At this moment, there are more than a dozen large mahogany tables placed in the room, which are filled with brand-new gambling equipment. Each table is surrounded by gamblers, holding silver coins in their hands and shouting with red faces and thick necks:
"Big...big...turn on the big one! Small, small...on the small one!"
When Xiang Yun looked at the entire gambling house, the gamblers also looked back, and their eyes first rested on Fatty Niu.
Then it focused on Xiang Yun, and finally it fell on Lin Wan'er! Then he calmly turned back and continued betting.
The eyes of these people did not escape the perception of Xiang Yun, who now has keen senses. At this moment, Xiang Yun's sense of vigilance increased greatly!
Because although these people in this gambling house pretended to be very good and kept shouting and yelling crazily, their eyes did not have the crazy excitement of real gamblers.
All of their pupils were clear and clear, but there was no bloodshot eyes like those gamblers who lost!
Xiang Yun would not have been able to observe these details in the past, but now that his strength has greatly increased and he was already wary, he can see them clearly!
Xiang Yun's ears twitched, and he suddenly glanced and saw two strong men behind him, reaching out to close the wooden door!
Xiang Yun rolled his eyes and suddenly shouted loudly to Lin Wan'er beside him.
"Wan'er, I didn't expect that there is such a big casino here. I will definitely gamble a lot today. Go back to my house and get me another two million taels of silver. I will kill everyone today!"
Lin Wan'er was startled when she heard this. She didn't understand why Xiang Yun suddenly asked her to get two million more taels of silver.
She was a little confused when Xiang Yun suddenly came to her ear and whispered something quickly and quietly. Lin Wan'er's body trembled, she glanced at Xiang Yun, understood immediately, and answered with a louder voice.
To be continued...
