A country with thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, a city with nine gates, and no imperial capital. How can I know that the emperor is respected?
A collection of cultural relics, the imperial capital for thousands of years.
Chang'an is located on the south bank of the Weihe River in the Guanzhong Plain, which is known as the 800-mile Qinchuan River. It was the capital of Zhou, Qin, Han, Western Jin, Former Zhao, Former Qin, Later Qin, Western Wei, Northern Zhou, Sui, and Tang. Chang'an comes from the meaning of long-lasting peace and stability. , due to various strategic and economic favorable conditions, Chang'an has been favored by monarchs of all dynasties since ancient times. Its prosperity is comparable only to the eastern capital Luoyang.
Zheng Xie did not avoid Si Hao's taboo, and walked in from Mingde Gate openly, passed through the busiest Zhuque Street, and headed to the southeastern city.
In addition to Zhuque Street, the most famous cities in Chang'an are the Metropolitan City and Liren City, which are located southeast and southwest of the imperial city, each occupying two squares. The two cities are the busiest places in Chang'an City, with many restaurants and restaurants open all night , it is a bustling resort in Chang'an City that never sleeps.
In the city, there are three most independent groups of buildings standing side by side in the central area of the market. Among them, the two largest, public, and legal gambling houses in Chang'an, Mingwotang and Lukfu Gambling Hall, stand across the street. The two major gambling houses are adjacent to the world-famous Shanglin Garden.
Zheng Xie went directly to Mingwo Hall.
The backstage of Mingwotang is Yin Zuwen, the father of Emperor Yin De of the Tang Dynasty. Yin Zuwen's official identity is the abbot of the Tang Dynasty, but his actual identity is the second master of the love-killing path among the six paths of the two sects of the Demon Sect. His strength is second only to the eight great masters of the Demon Sect. "Tianjun" Xi Ying, ranked fourth among the masters, is no less powerful than Zuo Youxian and You Niaojuan, who are ranked last, but he is low-key and not known to outsiders.
Yin Zuwen, as the head of the country, secretly led the side branches of the Demon Sect into Li Tang, with the intention of fighting against the Yin Gui sect.
If he hadn't promised Zhu Yuyan to come and collect the evil emperor's relics, Zheng Xie would have been reluctant to leave the gentle hometown of Dongming Sect.
The four VIP halls of Mingwo Hall are Daxian Hall, Tianhuang Hall, Dihuang Hall, and Renhuang Hall. Daxian Hall has the Great Immortal Hoover. It is the highest holy place in Mingwo Hall and is divided into 18 small gambling halls. No matter how gamblers choose to gamble, the casino will support them.
In a gambling hall where dice is played, a beautiful female dealer shakes the dice cup and glances at the gamblers from all over with her beautiful eyes. She sings: "Bet with treasure, but leave the table without treasure."
Gamblers placed their bets one after another.
At this moment, a gold bar that was pure gold came through the air, flew over the gambling table with a whooshing sound, suddenly stopped, fell straight down, and submerged into the table with a "thud" sound, and was completely flush with the tabletop, as if it had been specially polished More than average.
"I'm not betting at all." Zheng Xie's faint voice came.
When the gamblers saw him showing his hand, they applauded one after another. Some also sneered secretly, saying that they dared to come to Mingwotang to cause trouble. They were obviously tired of life.
The croupier also looked at him with a funny expression and sneered: "Are you kidding me, sir?"
"How dare you, who gave you the courage to talk to distinguished guests like this, slap your mouth." A majestic voice sounded in the hall.
The gamblers turned around and saw a middle-aged man in yellow brocade clothes striding towards them.
"'The Great' Hoover."
"He is the great immortal who is the number one person in the gambling forest."
Exclamations rang out one after another.
The person who came was the leader of the Hoover Sect, the Great Immortal Hoover.
The female dealer's pretty face changed.
Zheng She said: "Forget it. Zheng hates beautiful women being wronged the most."
Hoover waved his hand and said, "Why don't you thank Prince Zheng quickly?"
"I would like to thank Zheng...Prince Zheng!" The female croupier bowed Yingying, her face suddenly froze.
"Prince Zheng!"
"Since it was said by the Great Immortal, it cannot be wrong."
"He is King Zheng? Which King Zheng?"
"There are still several King Zhengs in the world. In addition to King Zheng himself, there are some who dare to call him King Zheng."
There were exclamations one after another.
"It's rare that King Zheng comes to visit, and the canopy of Mingwo Hall is shining brightly." Hoover stepped forward and opened the dice cup. There was a piece of powder in the cup. "I don't know why King Zheng came here."
"Hu Daxian, you don't have to be polite. Zheng is just here to have fun." Zheng She sighed and said, "As you know, money is all that is needed in a war. Military expenses are really tight, so Zheng has no choice but to come here to try his luck."
"Prince Zheng is joking, bring me the money."
Hoover waved his hand, and immediately someone came over carrying a box. The box was opened, and inside were neatly stacked gold bars, which almost blinded people.
He added: "These five thousand taels of gold power should be regarded as filial piety from Mingwotang. I also ask King Zheng to show your noble hand and let the horse go."
"Hu Daxian is too polite. Zheng is just here to play. Since the Daxian is so sincere, Zheng is being disrespectful." Zheng Xie cupped his hands and grabbed the box as easily as he was holding a straw.
Hoover cupped his hands and said, "Prince Zheng, please."
Zheng Xie left in a swaggering manner.
Then go to the Luk Fook Casino opposite.
The backstage of Liufu Casino is Li Yuanji, the third son of the Tang Dynasty King. He is deeply favored by Li Yuan and named "King of Qi". His martial arts is the first among the younger generation of Li Tang, and second only to Li Yuan's Tang in the entire Li clan.
His younger brother Li Shentong is good at using spears, and his weapon is a carbine.
The person who apparently calls the shots in Luk Fook Casino is Xiang Gui. Xiang Gui is a tycoon in the gambling industry. Together with Lei Jiuzhi, he is known as "Southern Thunder and Northern Fragrance". Xiang's chain of gambling houses and brothels are spread all over the Central Plains. In Zheng She's
There are also many Xiang family gambling houses and brothels on the territory. In addition, he is also secretly engaged in human trafficking, providing money and talents for the Demon Sect.
As soon as Zheng She walked to the door of Liufu Casino, he was greeted by a man in his thirties. He said: "I have met Prince Zheng in Chi Shengchun."
Chi Shengchun, formerly known as Xiang Shengchun, nicknamed "Fairy Hand", was the second son of Xianggui. He originally won the Liufu Casino from Wen Shengyu, a "passing bird".
Zheng Xie said: "Hello, Boss Chi."
Chi Shengchun said respectfully: "Today I can see the holy face of King Zheng. I am truly lucky. This is Chi's intention. I hope King Zheng will not dislike it."
He waved his hand, and his men immediately brought up two wooden boxes. When the boxes were opened, they were filled with golden light.
Zheng Xie nodded with a smile and said: "What you said makes it sound like Zheng came to your place to beat the autumn wind on purpose. However, seeing as you are so sincere, let's forget it this time."
Chi Shengchun said hurriedly: "Thank you, King Zheng, for showing mercy."
"Go back."
Zheng Xie waved his hand, and the three boxes were piled on top of each other. He held them up with one hand and walked toward Shanglin Garden in a swagger.
"Master Chun, why are you so afraid of him? This is Chang'an, not his Bashu. He is the only one here, let's work together to kill him..." After Zheng She left, one of his subordinates asked.
Chi Shengchun scolded: "What do you know? At the beginning, Ren Shaoming thought like this, Xiao Mian thought like this, Dugu Clan thought like this, Wagang Village also thought like this, but in the end, they all disappeared.
Since Zheng Xie dares to come to Chang'an all by himself, how can he not have a plan?"
"Yes, Mr. Chun has thought it through." His subordinates hurriedly flattered him.
At the same time, there was turmoil in all directions in Chang'an. Tang Emperor Li Yuan, Prince Li Jiancheng, Qin King Li Shifa, Qi King Li Yuanji, Jing Zhaolian Yang Wenqian, Hongnong Gang and other major forces, including the good and the evil, all received the news.
Suddenly there was a storm.
Because of Zheng Xie's appearance, the whole of Chang'an was in chaos. (To be continued...)
