"Come on, I don't believe I can't make it back today!"
…
The moment Zhuge Qingyun stepped into the gate of Kaiyuan Casino, a burst of noise suddenly hit his face, and the gamblers gathered around the gaming table all blushed.
Some people laugh when they win money, some people are unwilling to make a comeback, and some people take advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters. All kinds of things in the world are displayed in the small casino.
With Zhuge Qingyun's master-level gambling skills, he could naturally detect some of the little tricks of those casino croupiers, but he had no intention of exposing them.
As the saying goes, "Ten bets and nine cheats", even a gambling master like Zhuge Qingyun cannot win by relying on luck alone. If he wants to win all the time, he will have to take thousands of talents to do it.
In order to avoid attracting the attention of the casino too early, Zhuge Qingyun did not stare at a gambling table, but basically stayed at every gambling table for a while, and even deliberately lost several times along the way.
However, after Zhuge Qingyun wandered around the casino for more than half an hour, the amount of silver in his hand gradually reached more than 5,000 taels.
Zhuge Liang, who had been following Zhuge Qingyun, noticed the increasing number of casino thugs around him, shook his feather fan and said: "My lord, I'll stop as soon as I see you."
"Okay, that's it for today!"
After Zhuge Qingyun heard this, he immediately gave up his plan to continue gambling, exchanged all the silver in his hand for silver notes, and left the casino openly.
Next to the window on the second floor of the casino, a big man with a sinister face and fierce eyes respectfully asked the boss next to him: "Boss, that scar-faced guy won us more than five thousand taels of silver, do you want to
Looking for someone to get the money back?”
Hearing this, the casino owner who was a little fatter shook his head while playing with the jade beads in his hand: "No need, it's just over five thousand taels of silver. Our casino can still afford to lose. There is no need to ruin the reputation of the casino for this little money."
.”
If Zhuge Qingyun had won tens of thousands of taels of silver in one go, the casino owner might not let him go easily, but more than five thousand taels of silver was still within the casino owner's acceptance range.
Judging from the casino owner's many years of experience, it is obvious that Zhuge Qingyun is a fierce dragon crossing the river, and such people are usually not easy to mess with.
Unless Zhuge Qingyun comes to the casino every now and then to have a good time, the casino owner will not take action against someone like him who doesn't know the details.
“I didn’t expect this casino to be quite particular.”
After Zhuge Qingyun left Kaiyuan Casino, he seemed unprepared on the surface, but he kept Zhuge Liang secretly on guard. As a result, no one from the casino followed him at all.
"My lord, after all, the capital is under the emperor's feet. As long as the owner of the casino is not a fool, he will not go to war for the money."
Zhuge Liang heard Zhuge Qingyun's words, shook the feather fan in his hand, and reminded with a smile: "But for the sake of convenience, please change your appearance, my lord!"
"That's fine."
Upon hearing this, Zhuge Qingyun walked directly towards the alley on the side.
When Zhuge Qingyun walked out of the alley again, the bearded man with a scarred face had turned into a middle-aged man with a simple and honest appearance.
…
As long as there is demand, there will be a market. The black market has existed in all dynasties. Zhuge Qingyun found a few land snakes in the capital, and after asking them 'friendly', he soon learned the specific location of the black market from them.
.
In the black market in the capital, Zhuge Qingyun not only purchased enough raw materials for bombs, but also purchased a lot of weapons and items.
In fact, the current Qing government itself has mastered the method of manufacturing firearms. When the Qing troops entered the country, they used red cannons.
However, the shells used by these cannons were all made of black powder and were far less powerful than modern shells.
Although the power of black powder is far inferior to that of TNT explosives, under the modification of Zhuge Qingyun, a bomb expert, these black powders can still exert considerable power.
In order to facilitate its use and enhance its power, Zhuge Qingyun specially transformed the newly made bomb into a fist-sized grenade and filled it with some broken iron fragments.
Although the explosive power of these grenades made with black powder is somewhat weak, with the blessing of the master-level "Bomb Expert" skill, the explosive power of these grenades made by Zhuge Qingyun has been doubled.
In order to cater to the habits of this era, Zhuge Qingyun named the newly manufactured grenade 'Hangtian Lei'. The explosion radius of this type of bomb is up to seven meters, and the number of explosion fragments is as high as 300~500 pieces. Once it enters the explosion range
, either dead or disabled.
In the world of "The Deer and the Cauldron", although there is also the theory of internal strength and mental methods, the internal strength practiced by most martial arts masters is very superficial.
Even a top expert like Chen Jinnan may not be able to withstand the bombardment of a thunderous thunder, so this era is called the Age of Ending Law.
Due to limited time, Zhuge Qingyun only made dozens of sky-shattering thunders for the time being, and rushed back to the other courtyard under the command of Prince Mu before dinner.
"Brother Qingyun, why did you come back just now? If you don't come back, we won't leave any food for you."
As soon as Zhuge Qingyun returned to the other courtyard, a sweet and sweet voice rang out, and a little girl who looked thirteen or fourteen years old and had a pretty face appeared in front of him with a smile.
After seeing the visitor, Zhuge Qingyun showed a gentle smile in his eyes. He took out a candied haws and a bag of snacks from his sleeve and said, "Little princess, these are the snacks I bought specially for you."
"Brother Qingyun, don't always treat me like a child!"
When Mu Jianping saw Zhuge Qingyun's expression of coaxing a child, he couldn't help but curl his lips, but he still reached out his hand and took the snacks he handed him.
"I know~"
When Zhuge Qingyun heard this, he secretly laughed and hurried towards the living room first.
Sitting at the main seat at the dinner table, Mu Jiansheng, who was tall, thin, heroic, and slightly dark-faced, saw Zhuge Qingyun, then turned to the maid beside him and said: "Since Qingyun is back, let Wu Ma and the others
Let’s serve!”
"Yes, young prince."
Originally, a retainer like Zhuge Qingyun was not qualified to keep Mu Jiansheng waiting, but now that Prince Mu's palace has declined, and Zhuge Qingyun is quite powerful, Mu Jiansheng naturally has to act like a courteous corporal.
After Zhuge Qingyun and Mu Jianping took their seats, Liu Dahong, who was sitting next to Mu Jiansheng, asked: "Qingyun, you have been out for so long, have you found any useful information?"
