Chapter 169 The object of gambling

"Silly boy, why are you crying?"

"Is this your second time?"

When the principal saw that I insisted on going out, he didn't stop me. He smiled at me and said, "Take care on the way!"

"No, grandpa has done so much for me, how can I ask grandpa to pay for me!" I shook my head hurriedly and said sternly: "Okay, I have decided to pay for this money! Grandpa, just do it

Don’t worry!”

Along the way, the principal's old steps were very fast. I have been following him since his birth, and looking at his old figure, I felt his greatness!

Not long ago, Master Zhou handed me a so-called work permit, saying that as long as I was found out, I would say that I was a porter on the cargo ship, and then show them the certificate! But I heard that this trick was also

It’s not very useful, but sometimes it’s still found out!

"That's good!"

Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, I wish everyone a happy holiday!!!

"Well?" The principal smiled slightly, "What? No?"

I saw him smiling at me, but he didn't say a word. Looking at the principal getting further and further away, I felt no regrets. Looking at the hot land getting further and further away, I couldn't help but shed tears again...

There are about twenty people on this cargo ship. Although it is not a lot, I heard from Master Zhou that it is already seriously overcrowded! Usually they can smuggle a dozen people at most, but this time it was nearly twice as many!

Time passed slowly as the car moved forward. From dawn to dusk and then to dawn again, time seemed to pass very quickly, a speed that made me feel reluctant to leave.

"Are you hungry?"

"Haha, he is a wanted criminal!"

"Haha, this is your first time sneaking across the border!"

The man glanced at me, frowned and said to the principal: "Is he the friend you are talking about?"

"That's good, that's good!" The principal smiled and turned to look at me and said with a smile: "Liu Jie, come on, this is Master Zhou, you must listen to him carefully in the future!"

"I, I still have one hundred thousand yuan with me!" I smiled slightly and said, "Grandpa, just put it down!"

He picked up his antique mobile phone and walked aside. And I looked at the sea I saw for the first time, and I couldn't help but feel a ripple in my heart. I didn't have the excitement and excitement I felt when I saw the sea for the first time.

, I was even a little unwilling and not so comfortable.

A seemingly dilapidated cargo ship was parked on the beach. There were crowds of people on board, and they seemed to be busy with something. The principal took me over, and at this time a man in his forties or fifties came over. He walked to the principal's door with a smile.

In front of him, he said anxiously: "Old Yang, why did you come here!"

dividing line

"Well, Grandpa should pay more attention to his health from now on!"

"kindness!"

"Silly boy, wait until you come back to talk about these things. It's too early to say anything now!"

I squatted down, swung my hands in the water, closed my eyes and felt the sea. Everything was so dreamy, everything was so sudden...

I heard the principal calling me, so I hurriedly opened my eyes, ran towards him, and asked, "What's wrong?"

I was sitting next to a man in his forties eating an apple. The guy glanced at me and said with a smile: "Why are you hungry?"

I scanned the cargo ship and found no girl, and no one like me. The least among these people was in their thirties, and the oldest was in his fifties!

He looked at me kindly, which made me feel more and more uncomfortable. I couldn't stop crying at this time, but I couldn't say a word!

"kindness!"

As we walked along with the principal, it seemed that this place was a gathering place for fishermen. There were dilapidated wooden houses everywhere, dead fish everywhere, and the stench was overwhelming!

"Come with me quickly, they are already waiting for you!"

The principal couldn't help but utter a look of embarrassment, and I hurriedly walked over and smiled at Master Zhou: "Master Zhou, I am the one who smuggled in, so give me the money!"

He stretched out his old hand, wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes, and gently stroked my face. "Silly boy, you have to live well when you get to the United States. Don't be discouraged! I know your English is very bad.

You will definitely not be able to enjoy it there. I have a very good English book here, take it and study it!"

At this time, I couldn't help but rub my stomach. Now my appetite has increased sharply, and I feel hungry even if I don't eat. I got up and looked around. Seeing Master Zhou listening to the radio in a room, I smiled slightly and left.

Go in and say, "Master Zhou, do you have anything to eat here?"

"Alright, I'll make a phone call. Just wait there!"

I hurriedly pulled Master Zhou onto the boat and smiled at him: "Master Zhou, I will give you this money when I get to the United States. Don't worry, I won't miss you a penny!"

This dilapidated Chevrolet car finally stopped. Looking at the smile on the principal's face, I couldn't help but shed tears. If you ask me a reason, I can't seem to explain it. Maybe I want to leave this person I just met.

grandfather……

"This?" The principal lowered his head and thought for a moment, "You are short of money now, so I'll pay for it! Besides, you also need money in the United States!"

He smiled slightly and stretched out his old hand, expecting to rub my head, but he was only about 1.5 meters tall. He stretched out his hand, but he just managed to touch my head, which is nearly 1.8 meters tall.

superior!

I looked at the thick English book in his hand, and I felt an indescribable feeling in my heart. Learning English? It’s not that I can’t do it, it’s that I and it are simply incompatible. I have tried many times.

I went to practice. I still understood the principle of rote memorization, but every time I remembered it in my mind, within ten minutes, I forgot everything! But at this time, I still took this thick book and couldn’t read it anymore.

He was reading a thick English book. I smiled at him, but my voice sounded crying. After all, I cried so much just now, "Grandpa, if I come back, I will definitely repay you well!"

The two of us got on the boat, and then the shabby cargo ship finally started to move. I waved to the principal, "Goodbye, grandpa. If I become prosperous in the future, I will never forget your great kindness, grandpa!"

"Well, I went to them to ask for something to eat, and they gave me an apple! They also said that the meal would not be served until one or two o'clock. Don't you think this is torture?"

"kindness!"

"Of course! We people in the United States don't need to buy anything to eat at all. We can just rummage through the trash cans and a lot of food will come out! Americans are very generous. They throw away a lot of things that have not even been opened.

!”

"kindness!"

"We are both acquaintances, and we can be considered brothers of life and death. Then I will make it clear that the price will be very fair, but I need 80,000 yuan!"

"Liu Jie, come with me quickly!"

"Liu Jie! You are short of money now. Besides, where did you get so much money?"

Master Zhou said to me. I nodded and walked towards the boat. I looked back at the principal from time to time. When I saw Master Zhou and the principal, he said: "Old Yang, you also know that it is getting more and more difficult to sneak across the border these days.

.You see, I was ready to leave yesterday, but you just called me and I waited all day!"

"One or two o'clock at noon! We have limited food on board, so we have to save some money. For most people, we will inform them in advance and ask them to bring some food. But you came in a hurry and didn't notify you. But you are a young man

, it’s okay to be hungry for a while!”

The principal smiled and blurted out a few big words, but the guy laughed when he heard it and said: "Oh, I know. Don't worry, Lao Yang, I will bring him safely to the United States!"

Is this the legendary sea? I looked stupidly ahead at the endless sea. The morning sun was rising slowly. It should be the sea clouds in the morning. The red sun, where the water and the sky met, seemed to

There are two general ones. Everything is so beautiful and beautiful. But my mood is wavering with uneasiness, and I feel that the loneliness in my heart is getting more and more moving.

He stretched out his hand, shook my hand, and said.

"Yes!" I smiled and walked towards the so-called Master Zhou, stretched out my hand and said with a smile: "Hello, my name is Liu Jie!"

"Before coming to the United States, you'd better find a Chinese shop to work. There are many kind-hearted Chinese who will be very enthusiastic to help us!"

"is that so?"

I nodded, time did not make me hesitate, nor did I hesitate to make a choice.

Looking at this homeland that I once loved, do I actually want to leave my hometown and live a life of dependence on others? Do I want to leave this land that gave birth to me and raised me? There are thousands of words, but I can only say one thing: I can’t let it go! I can’t let it go.

I have lived in this homeland for more than 20 years, and I can’t bear to leave the yellow-skinned people here. I can’t bear to leave the people I once loved, even the people who love me. Everything is so dreamlike. In the blink of an eye, I change from an absolutely good man.

, and became a nationally famous fugitive. Am I really that bad and worthy of being reviled by them?

"Haha!" He smiled. "It is inevitable for this young man to be competitive, but when you come to the United States in the future, you are not allowed to mess around! Otherwise, you will be in trouble!"

"Okay, you can get on the boat first! I still have some things to talk to my old friends!"

"Yeah!" He smiled and took out a piece of bread and handed it to me, and said with a smile: "I smuggled myself into the United States for two years last time, and then I was discovered. So I was moved back by them!" He smiled at me.

Laughing, "But I earned more than 50,000 yuan in the United States in two years. If I were in China, I would not earn even 10,000 yuan, and then I would have no meal at all!"

"Oh, that's not what I meant. It's just that at such a young age, why would you want to come here as a smuggler? This is the first time I have seen such a young man!"

When I heard this, I couldn't help but feel a little bit reluctant in my heart. Am I going to leave this land today?

"So fast?"

What do you mean it's okay for young people to be hungry? Isn't this discrimination against our young people? But I didn't argue with this guy, and I didn't have the strength to argue with him. I bit off most of the apple in one bite and walked out.

He nodded, took out an apple from the refrigerator nearby and gave it to me, saying: "We haven't started dinner yet, let's eat some fruit first!"

"Haha, I'm so sorry about this!"

"This?" I don't need to feel confused. It's already past ten o'clock in the morning, and the meal hasn't been served yet? When will the meal be served? I couldn't help but ask: "Master Zhou, when will the meal be served?"

"Well, thank you Uncle Zhou!"

"Oh, that's it!"

"Don't hesitate, this is your last chance. If you miss it, you don't know how long it will take next time!"

"Haha, you also know that this happened suddenly!"

"This? Brother Zhou, is this 80,000 a bit too much?"

After a small commotion, Bea and Black Horse House walked into the three-story building side by side.

It can be seen that Bea is very satisfied with the performance of Black Horse House just now. The two of them are smiling and talking very close. Lin Qi looked at the two people walking away and couldn't help but nodded. This is not surprising at all, Bea and

The Black Horse Houses are all military aristocrats, and it is simply that Bea's family has more power in the military than the Bavel family of the Black Horse Houses.

Lin Qi could even think that the Black Horse House family might be a vassal of the Beya family, which was very possible.

The army, the violent monsters tempered by iron and blood, in that bloody hell, the male creatures working hard together can easily cultivate an indestructible and deep friendship. This kind of friendship will become more mellow as the years go by, and often even

Affect the friendship of future generations.

Neither Bea nor Black Horse House have ever been on the battlefield, but this does not prevent them from having friends since childhood.

At least Dark Horse House came out in time to save Bea just now. It's hard to say whether this is a coincidence or intentional.

Lin Qi sneered a few times after taking a deep look at the backs of Zi Bea and Black Horse House. The nearby dandies and wealthy ladies glanced at Lin Qi and Long Cheng curiously, and glanced at Yu casually from the corner of their eyes.

Lian, they laughed softly, and walked reservedly toward the three-story building deep in the green shade, accompanied by their guards.

Tonight is a party convened by Titian, and almost all the upper-class aristocratic children in the imperial capital will attend. Tonight's party is not just about singing and dancing, not just about having sex, but more importantly, a gambling game, which all the aristocratic children in the imperial capital know.

A well-informed gamble.

The relationship behind this bet is complicated, but on the surface, this bet determines the ownership of "Yinwanyue," the third-ranked trading firm in the imperial capital. If Titian wins tonight's bet, then he will get Silverwand.

The ownership of this huge money-making machine with an annual net profit of tens of millions of gold coins belongs to Titian.

If Titian loses this bet tonight, then he will have to pay for all the shops under his name, as well as several manors outside the city and two residences in the city. Such losses are also tens of millions.

Long Cheng's ears turned freely like a horse's ears. He heard all the whispers of those noble youths clearly. He couldn't help but laugh: "It's interesting that Titian is very courageous.

How dare he leave such an important bet to you, whom he has only known for a few days?"

Lin Qi's ears were also very sharp, and he also heard the mutterings of those people. He couldn't help but shrugged his shoulders and patted his chest hard: "You can tell by my appearance that I am trustworthy!

Hmm, but it’s strange, does he really trust me so much?”

Shaking his head, Lin Qi was about to call Long Cheng and Yu Lian to go to the small building. Three light gold carriages had quietly driven over. Fifty people were wearing white tights and red tights.

Palace guards wearing robes and bronze armor surrounded these three carriages and rode proudly on tall horses.

The guards who had just asked so many noble princes of the imperial capital to dismount did not stop the three carriages. They respectfully separated to both sides of the road and bowed deeply to the three carriages. The three carriages drove slowly along the path.

Someone seemed to have whispered something as they passed by Lin Qi and the others, and the carriage and the palace guards riding horses stopped at the same time.

The curtains of the carriage in the middle were opened, and a young man with a soft face, who made people feel close to each other at first sight, smiled and waved to Yu Lian. Yu Lian hurriedly walked over and respectfully said a complicated gesture to the young man.

Court Etiquette: "Your Highness Latus!"

Latus smiled softly, glanced at Lin Qi and Long Cheng, and nodded slowly: "Are those two the people Titian told me?"

Lin Qi took a step forward and bowed slightly to Latus: "Your Highness is honored to meet you!"

Long Cheng, on the other hand, haughtily held his hands in front of his chest and looked at Latus sideways.

Yu Lian calls Latus His Highness. Obviously Latus is a member of the imperial royal family, and if he is familiar with Titian, then he must be a direct royal member of the empire. But for Longcheng, what kind of royal family member does he see?

They are no different from ants on the ground.

Coming from an extremely powerful ancient empire in the East, Dragon City really looked down on these monkeys from an uncivilized savage country. Even the royal members among the monkeys were just slightly stronger monkeys with more gorgeous feathers.

Latus glanced at Longcheng with a smile, said a few words to Yu Lian, then gently patted the window, and the three carriages started at the same time.

After the three carriages had gone away, Yu Lian returned to Lin Qi and introduced Latus's identity in a low voice: "His Royal Highness Latus is the eldest son of the third prince. The third prince was named the Grand Duke of Proance and

Mr. Wallis has a very good relationship with you. Your Highness Latus is also a friend of Mr. Titian who grew up with you."

Lin Qi nodded thoughtfully, while Long Cheng snorted disdainfully: "So, the former prime minister of the Hua Li family just wants to support the third prince to ascend the throne? Look at that picture of little Latus.

With their chicken-like faces, father and son should support the civil service system and oppose the revolutionary forces, right?"

Yu Lian looked at Long Cheng in shock. Although his words were unpleasant, they hit the nail on the head and hit the key point of the matter.

Before Long Cheng finished speaking, a burst of wild horse hoofbeats roared over. A tall knight wearing black armor and a fully enclosed horn helmet rode wildly surrounded by nearly a hundred palace guards.

Come on. One of Titian's guards evaded a little late, and was whipped to the ground by the black-armored knight.

The screams kept coming, and the guard who was knocked down was struggling and twitching wildly on the ground. The whip penetrated deeply into his flesh, and opened a tragic wound two feet long and three inches deep on his body. There was blood.

It spurted out from the huge wound, and the ground was soon stained red.

The corners of Lin Qi's eyes twitched. He saw clearly the whip on the black-armored knight's hand. Was it still a whip? It was clearly a sharp weapon for killing people. The one-meter-long whip was as thick as two fingers and was inlaid with many sharp edges.

The three-sided iron thorn is simply a vicious object used to kill people.

Yu Lian's body trembled, and he murmured in a low voice: "Go quickly, don't let him run into you. This is His Highness Maris, the son of the eldest prince. He and Bea are good friends. This time, His Excellency Titian is confronting him.

bet!"

Such a fierce god is actually the prince of the empire?

Lin Qi gasped, shook his head, pulled Long Cheng away. He suddenly understood,

Tonight's bet is probably not simple, as it involves an internal battle within the royal family.

But Titian, he so rashly let himself take his place in the battle?

What the hell!!.
