The Legend of the Phoenix Emperor Chapter 50: Opening a Gambling Game
The battle at Shengtianhou Mountain, the biggest topic of conversation among the people in the imperial capital after dinner was...
"Have you heard? Shengtian College has been humiliated at my grandma's house this time. There are several heads hanging at their gate, and I don't know who did it."
"Who doesn't know about such a big thing? Even if Shengtian wants to block the news, this is the imperial capital. Besides the royal family, who can block everyone's mouth?"
"I don't know who has the courage to provoke Shengtian Academy so blatantly."
"Haha...Who else could be here? Isn't it obvious? Feng Mian, the new core disciple of Laifeng Academy and the number one person in history. With Archdeacon Li Mu guarding him, who can he be afraid of?"
Juxian Tower has always been a place where freedom of speech is allowed regardless of status. But many words can only stop there.
Talking about it is one thing. Now, the competition between Shengtian College and Laifeng College in three months is no longer one-sided. There is even a gambling game. Anyone can place bets and bet on who will win and who will lose.
Of course, the majority of them are betting that Shengtian Academy will win.
Shengtian College Main Hall
"How unreasonable! How unreasonable! Does it mean that if the dean doesn't come back, you won't be able to do things? I can't help you, right? It's been how many days, and there's still no concrete evidence?"
Zhao Zhuo put his hands behind his back, crackling his fingers, and stared at the person in front of him with a livid face.
"You are all trash. How can the majestic Shengtian Academy be so disturbed by a young boy? I don't believe it. Feng Mian really has such great abilities. It's incredible."
Everyone lowered their heads and did not dare to speak. A spies from the Holy Heaven came quickly from the right.
The spy whispered a few words into Zhao Zhuo's ear, and his face changed and his fists clenched suddenly.
"Come here, bring Huang Haoyu back to me immediately!"
Not long after, the disciple came to report: "Deacon Zhao, Senior Huang Haoyu has not returned from his training abroad. Moreover, something has happened in the City Lord's Mansion in the past few days. Even if he receives the notice, he must go back to the City Lord's Mansion first."
Bang! Bang!
A surge of energy surged, and cracks immediately appeared on the ground in front of him.
"It makes no sense. Who does Huang Haoyu think he is? Or is he not a disciple of Shengtian Academy? Such a big thing happened, and this deacon just asked him to come back to ask some questions, but he dared to avoid it!"
With a wave of his sleeves, Zhao Zhuo was furious.
"Find it for me! No matter what the price is, you must find out who did it. How dare you openly challenge the majesty of our Shengtian Academy? I wonder how many lives he can squander."
Main hall of Laifeng College
"Come, come, come, let's go one by one. Let's celebrate this great victory! Not only that, it will make the people of Shengtian College so angry, which is really satisfying. Why didn't I know that Shengtian College is so despicable before?"
Everyone gathered together, and a long square table was filled with various dishes.
Many disciples were enjoying themselves, chatting and eating and drinking, feeling comfortable and happy.
"Ahem... Isn't it a little too early to celebrate at this time? Don't forget that there are still three months... Hey, what are you going to do? Do you want to rebel?"
Before Deacon Li Mu finished speaking, he was pulled over by everyone and started eating and drinking with everyone.
"Archdeacon, since the other elders and seniors are outside, you are the only one left here. We are finally happy for once, why should you spoil the fun? Come, let's drink together and be happy together."
Unable to convince everyone, Li Mu accepted it readily. After all, they were still young people in their teens or twenties. They should have the vitality of young people. As for other things, let's wait until then.
In the front yard
Feng Mian and Feng Yizhou lay down side by side. The former cooked a large table of dishes today, but he was not in the mood to eat because he was too tired. Feng Yizhou had just arrived in the imperial capital, so it would be better for the brothers to catch up on old times.
Each held a bottle of wine in their hands. After touching it, they took a big sip.
"It's refreshing! It's so refreshing!"
Turning his head, Feng Yizhou looked at Feng Mian: "Young Master, to be honest, I really thought I was going to be confessed there this time. I never thought that when I came to the imperial capital for the first time, I would be on the line between life and death."
Smiling faintly: "Brother, this is the reality of today's world. The world is very big and full of crises, but you can also find hope everywhere. You see, although you feel that you have to give an explanation, don't you also have no explanation?"
At this time, Feng Yizhou suddenly sat up and stared at Feng Mian seriously.
"Young Master, I have something to tell you. I feel that among us, there is always someone watching secretly. This time I came to the imperial capital without any fanfare. I even dressed up in disguise, but I was still caught."
Before this, Feng Mian actually had the same feeling. Their actions would always be known in advance, and Huang Qianyun, as the daughter of the city lord, would be easily caught. Who was behind the scenes?
"Haha... of course things are not that simple. Haven't you noticed? All the things that go wrong are related to me. All the people who have troubles have a close relationship with me."
Standing up, Feng Yizhou faced Feng Mian: "So, young master, you must be careful. Although we know the whereabouts of the family master, we cannot act rashly now without reasonable reasons. And the mistress..."
Feng Mian also stood up and hugged Feng Yizhou.
"Okay, brother, you're here now, so just relax. I have my own plans for the future. Have the Feng family's affairs been arranged? I think with City Lord Ouyang here, it shouldn't be a big problem."
What Feng Mian meant was that since Feng Yizhou finally came to the Imperial Capital, he should stay at Laifeng Academy with him. With his qualifications, as long as he studied systematically for a while, he would definitely make a big breakthrough.
"Young Master, is this really possible? Laifeng College is a dream school for many people. I heard it is very strict. Is it really possible for someone like me to join?"
Looking at the words of Laifeng Academy, Feng Mian raised his eyebrows: "Strict? Strict for what? I have broken all their formations. I don't think it is strict at all, and it is also very lax!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a strong and tyrannical energy rushed towards him.
Feng Mian was not prepared in the slightest and was forcibly thrown away. His body flew upside down for more than ten feet before he stabilized himself.
"You brat, are you confused? As a core disciple of Laifeng Academy, you actually dare to arrange the academy in this way. You think you are too leisurely, don't you? Do you want me to arrange something for you?"
"Arch deacon, calm down, young master, he didn't... young master, he..."
I saw Archdeacon Li Mu staggering, then fell directly to the ground, drunk.
Many students gathered around and paid no attention to Deacon Li Mu and Feng Mian.
He grabbed Feng Yizhou and asked enthusiastically: "Brother, you are also from the Feng family. So in the gambling game opened by Juxian Pavilion this time, do you want to place a bet for your young master? He will pay ten thousand for each one!"
"Nonsense, of course the people from Laifeng Academy will win. I spent a lot of gold coins, about seven or eight hundred gold coins, to buy Laifeng Academy to win. Then it will be up to Feng Mian."
"Me too, me too. But to be on the safe side, I still bought Shengtian College, but I don't have that much. I have no choice. When you are in the world, you have to leave some way out for yourself."
The next moment, everyone caught the brother and started beating him.
"As a disciple of Laifeng Academy, you dare to buy Shengtian Academy to win. You are simply despicable! Hehe... But I like it. Tell me, how can I buy Shengtian Academy? I will buy some too."
Feng Yizhou came to Feng Mian and smiled lightly: "It seems that the people from Laifeng Academy are really easy to get along with. They don't seem to have any intention of fighting. It seems that the young master's choice is right."
Suddenly, a figure flashed past.
"That's not necessarily true. Never look at things at their superficial level. What you see now is just because you have not affected their interests. If one day your interests are touched, can you still say such a thing?"
Huang Haoyu appeared quietly behind them.
Feng Yizhou turned around warily and stared at him.
"Don't be nervous, he is here to find me."
Feng Mian stepped forward and faced Huang Haoyu: "Do you want to talk?"
After a while, there was a secluded place in the back hill of Laifeng College.
"You said you know the solution to the blood poison in southern Xinjiang? What exactly is it? Can you tell me now?"
Feng Mian looked at him: "Young Master Huang, is this your attitude towards asking for help?"
"Haha... begging? I beg you? Feng Mian, you think too highly of yourself. Now we are just talking about cooperation and each getting what he needs. If you want to talk, then continue, if you don't want to talk, then forget it.
.”
Geniuses naturally have the arrogance of geniuses.
"Okay, just because of your magnanimity, I have made you my friend."
Feng Mian reached out and turned it over, and a scroll appeared in his palm.
"I have said before that I, Feng Mian, am not an ungrateful person. The city lord has been kind to me, so naturally I don't want to become an enemy with you. Since you said cooperation, how about we have a good talk?"
With a wave of his hand, the scroll fell into Huang Haoyu's hand.
"I don't care if you believe it or not, what is recorded on this scroll is the method to remove the blood poison in Southern Border. And there is only one copy of the scroll. If you don't believe it, if you destroy it, it will be gone."
After a pause, Huang Haoyu put away the scroll and looked at Feng Mian: "What about your conditions? I, Huang Haoyu, don't want to owe any favors, so you'd better make it clear."
"Haha... so refreshing."
Feng Mian turned around and said calmly: "The solution you want is to save your father. And what I want you to help me do is for my father. From a certain point of view, our purpose is the same."
"You are a core disciple of Shengtian Academy, and you must have a lot of authority. I would like to ask you to help me check if possible, where is my father imprisoned? I am very sure that he was imprisoned by Shengtian
Imprisoned."
silence.
After a long while, Huang Haoyu looked at Feng Mian, his eyes became deep and somewhat inquisitive.
"Is this what you want me to do?"
"Don't think this matter is easy. The shadow guards of my Feng family have spent a long time and paid a lot of money to find out any information. The forbidden areas of Shengtian Academy are not accessible to ordinary people."
Feng Mian solemnly said: "I said, I don't want to become your enemy, so I want to remind you. The solution to the blood poison in southern Xinjiang is also difficult. It's not easy for you and me. I hope we can have a happy cooperation."
