? Fortunately, the host was quite witty. He picked up the microphone and began to explain enthusiastically the reason why the two people left. He said that the two gambling kings were exhausted and needed to rest. In short, they could just mess around with each other no matter what.
The spectators were stunned. Anyway, everyone came to see the showdown between gambling kings. They had already seen the highlights and were not interested in the award ceremony or anything like that. Even though they knew that the host’s explanation was far-fetched, they didn’t bother to
Went to investigate further.
At the hint of the organizer of the competition, the notary began to announce that the results of the competition were true and valid. The unsatisfied spectators left the venue one after another, and an anticlimactic Southeast Asian Gambling King Competition came to an end.
As soon as Ren Bing walked out of the VIP room, his mobile phone vibrated in his pocket. He took it out and saw a text message from Xu Qinglai. There was a line of small words on it, "I took the son of the gambling devil with me. Remember to help me collect the prize."
"Boss, what did he say?" Huang Pulan on the side looked over curiously, wanting to see the content of the text message clearly. Ren Bing stretched the phone in front of her eyes and said with a wry smile: "Read it yourself!"
"No way? That's okay..." Huang Pulan's eyes stopped, staring blankly at the small words on the phone screen. He paused for half a minute before suddenly saying: "Boss, do we want to follow?"
Ren Bing smiled slightly and said: "No need, we still have things to do."
Huang Pulan was stunned for a while and said: "What?"
"Go and receive the award!" Ren Bing waved his hand and strode towards the direction where George Tracy was standing.
Xu Qing rushed out of the hotel. A black BYD sped by and stopped in front of him with a screeching sound. The window rolled down, revealing a familiar smiling face. It was the guy named Shenxing from the fifth team.
He opened the car door and got in. When he looked back, he saw that Wu Zimo had already caught up with him. Seeing that he was less than a hundred meters away from the car, Xu Qing said calmly: "Drive to the black beach."
Squeak! The car made a strange cry and sped out, leaving Wu Zimo far away in the blink of an eye.
"Don't drive too fast. Just wait until that guy catches up in a taxi and keep your distance." Xu Qing lit a cigarette and smoked, freeing up one hand to fasten his seat belt. This guy Shen Xing drove too hard, or did he?
It's better to be safe.
Shen Xing's driving skills were even more professional than those of professional drivers. In less than two minutes, he noticed a taxi coming from behind. He smiled calmly and adjusted the taxi. No matter how much the taxi drove, he could always maintain a distance of about fifty meters.
.
"There are more than one group of people following us, do you want the leader to come over?" Shen Xing drove around a corner and entered a checkerboard path.
Xu Qing took a puff of smoke and said: "No, just drive the car to the north of the pine forest when we get to the black beach later. The two miscellaneous fish in the third team can't afford to make a few waves."
There were two groups of people following behind, one group was Wu Zimo, and the other group was Niu Gong and Leng Ying, whom they had met yesterday. These two guys came very quickly, so it doesn't matter what their purpose was.
Shen Xing nodded and said nothing more. Most of the members of the fifth team had a respect for this magical enshrined disciple, except of course Huang Pulan.
The salty and humid sea breeze brought a chill, and the pine forest in the dusk became increasingly quiet and dark.
The car stopped on the beach behind the pine forest. Xu Qing and Shen Xing got out of the car together and walked quickly into the pine forest.
After walking less than a hundred meters, he found some uncertain lights not far ahead, which turned out to be a few white candles poked on the ground. Gao Shun and two well-dressed men stood aside, one of them was holding a dark candle in his hand.
large suitcase.
Xu Qing stepped forward, took off the Double Dragon Jade Pendant from his neck and handed it directly to the old gambling king: "The man is already here, but there is a tail behind him."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Zimo rushed forward quickly, his dark eyes fixed on the jade pendant in the old gambling king's hand.
"Is it you? A member of a thousand families?"
Gao Shun held up the jade pendant in his hand, his expression calm and powerful: "Young Piao Ping, follow me."
Wu Zimo's expression suddenly changed, and there was a look of struggle in his eyes. Gao Shun stepped forward and said, "Zimo, come with me." There was an irresistible majesty in his voice.
Wu Zimo's shoulders shook, his sharp eyes suddenly darkened, and he obediently walked to Gao Shun and stood next to Gao Shun. Xu Qing was a little puzzled. According to him, the energy contained in Wu Zimo's Dantian was stronger than that of the old gambling king.
Why did he suddenly become obedient?
Gao Shun seemed to see the doubts in Xu Qing's heart, and took the suitcase from the well-dressed man on the side and handed it directly to Xu Qing's hand.
"Kid, there is a letter in the box. You will understand everything after reading it. I will leave you to deal with the rest. I will go first." After saying that, he turned around and led the three of them away.
Xu Qing touched his nose, put the suitcase under his ribs, took out a glass bottle from his pocket and opened it quickly.
Whoa! Two figures swooped over, and the next moment they were standing opposite Xu Qing. They were Niu Gong and Leng Ying from the third team.
"Did you let go of the bloody gambling demon?" Leng Ying's sinister voice was like a blunt instrument scratching on the glass, which made the person's teeth ache.
Xu Qing smiled calmly and said: "The Bloody Hand Gambler died twenty years ago. I came here to enjoy the sea breeze and catch two poisonous snakes to make soup. What, you two are also interested?"
Niu Gong sneered at his words: "It's a lot of nonsense. It's strange that there are snakes here..." Hiss! Two soft sounds seemed to be in response to his words, followed by the hiss of thin ropes that quickly surrounded the place from all directions.
come over.
The faces of the two people suddenly changed. Looking around, they saw winding black shadows swimming towards them. Snakes, many snakes. Under the cover of twilight, they couldn't tell the number of snakes at all. They only knew that there were many snakes.
a lot of.
Xu Qing joked: "Do you believe it now? These are extremely delicious flowering forest snakes, be careful not to get bitten."
Shen Xing on the side knew that these snakes were probably related to the glass bottle in Xu Qing's hand, so he subconsciously moved his feet towards this guy. He felt that it would be safer to stand next to this guy.
Leng Ying glanced around and said in a deep voice: "Let's go!" The two of them jumped up and down quickly and left the pine forest. Xu Qing then took out the glass bottle, capped it slowly, and stuffed the bottle.
pocket.
Oddly enough, the snakes immediately stopped moving after the bottle cap was closed, and the apricots slowly dispersed after hissing for a while, disappearing without a trace in less than two minutes.
"Let's go! This result may be the best." Xu Qing patted the suitcase in his hand and strode out of the pine forest.
It was late at night when the two returned to the hotel room. Ren Bing and George Tracy were sitting on the sofa chatting when they saw Xu Qing come in and got up together.
Xu Qing opened the box in his hand, took out a thin cowhide envelope, opened it, took out a Swiss bank cashier's check and put it into his pocket. He smiled and said, "This is mine." Then he stepped forward and handed the envelope to him.
After being appointed as a soldier, he walked to the sand and sat down.
Xu Qing had already seen the contents of the box with clairvoyance. There were several photos of the corpse of the real bloody gambling demon. It was probably taken by Gao Shun when he was building the tomb for his senior brother. As for the bank cashier's check, it was stated in the letter.
It was an extra reward for him. If he didn't get it, he wouldn't get it for free. He didn't bother to pay attention to what was written in the letter.
Ren Bing opened the envelope, which contained several photos and a letter. He took out the letter, opened it, read it, and then handed it to George Tracy along with the photos.
George Tracy couldn't wait to open the letter and read it twice, and then looked at the photos carefully. Then he was satisfied and put the things back into the envelope. He took out a small exquisite box from his pocket and used it solemnly together with the check.
He put his hands in front of Xu Qing.
"Mr. Xu, here are your bonuses and gambling king badge."
Xu Qing took it and opened the box. It was a round badge made of platinum with two crossed playing cards on it. It was also engraved with the names of Southeast Asia's Gambling King and Xu Qing. It was a nice little gift.
Yes, the check was the prize money for this competition, and he pocketed it without ceremony.
"Team Ren, I'm going back tomorrow. Have you given me the things you promised me?" He was referring to the Buddhist inner elixir, which was still secure in his hand.
Ren Bing smiled and stretched out his hand to Tracy and said: "The bloody hand gambling thing is over. Bring the things you promised."
Of course George Tracy knew what he wanted. He stood up and waved his hand in a gesture of invitation: "That thing is stored in the safe in the currency counting room. Why don't you two come with me to get it."
"Okay, let's take the things and let this guy who only takes advantage and not suffer any losses treat us to a midnight snack." Ren Bing stepped forward and put his arms around Xu Qing's shoulders, and the three of them walked to the money counting room together.
As the name suggests, the banknote counting room in the casino is a place where banknotes are counted. It is normal for a leading casino like the Venetian to earn tens of millions of dollars a day. This does not include the income from the VIP room. A large amount of cash requires a dedicated person.
To count, that’s why we specially set up a money counting room.
The money counting room is the most tightly guarded place in the entire hotel. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as three steps, one guard, five steps and one sentry. Just the two thick metal doors cannot be penetrated by rocket launchers.㊣(7)
When they reached the metal gate, Xu Qing and Ren Bing were too lazy to go in. They simply smoked outside and waited for George Tracy to take out their things.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xu Qing told Ren Bing about the threatening letter received by Xue Guoqiang. If he used the resources of Huaxia Wuhun, it wouldn't take long to find out who the guy who stuck the dagger on the door of Xue's house was.
Ren Bing was eager for Xu Qing to ask him to help, so he agreed wholeheartedly, saying that he would be notified as soon as the results were available. Doing this kind of thing would be overkill, and it would not be difficult at all.
After a while, Tracy came out of the gate with a happy face, holding a very ordinary small porcelain bottle in his hand. Xu Qing, with sharp eyes, discovered that there was a layer of light golden gas lingering on the surface of the porcelain bottle, which must be the inner elixir.
Now Xu Qing has figured out a little bit. Any object with gas lingering on its surface must have something to do with ancient warriors, and the golden gas is mostly left by ancient warriors who cultivated pure Yang inner strength, such as Prajna relics and Bodhidharma finger bones.
As for the Longyuan dagger, it was probably a weapon used by ancient warriors who cultivated other internal powers, so there was cyan gas seeping out.
