Chapter 71 - UnfriendlyAfter hearing Fatty Niu"s story, Xiang Yun gave the latter a thumbs up!
"Admirable, admirable!" You are really the first fat cow of the cow, you lost with a sword and a sabre, you even lost with a yellow vest, why don"t you throw your wife in as well! "
Fatty Niu lowered his head, blushing slightly when he heard this. He said in embarra.s.sment, "It"s not like I"ve never thought about that boss before. I don"t even have a wife, do I?"
"Holy sh * t!"
Following the sound of an explosion, Fatty Ox was kicked to the ground by Xiang Yun and rolled several times!"Ouch!" Fatty Ox screamed in pain. He lay on his back on the ground with the same difficulty as a turtle turning over its body.
"You can"t f * cking be saved, hurry up and f * cking f * cking f * cking f * cking f * * king f * * king f * * king f * king f * king f * * king f * * king f * * king f * * king f * * king f * king f * king f * * king f * * king f * king f * king f * king f * * king f * * king f * * * kingXiang Yun was truly impressed by this fatty, he had never seen such a fine person before!
"Don"t, boss, you better not leave me alone!" I came all the way here from my home in the Northwest to accompany you. I have no one to rely on in this place, and only you as my brother, if you don"t care about who"s in charge of me! "
This time, Fatty Niu was truly worried. His tears were about to flow, fearing that Xiang Yun would not care about this anymore.
Xiang Yun frowned when he heard this. He had really wanted to ignore this fellow, but he couldn"t bear to.In his memory, although this guy was also a popinjay, he was still his brother. At least, he didn"t beat him down like other people, but stood by his side whenever he was in the most difficult times.
"Hey, you only know how to cause trouble for laozi!" Xiang Yun sighed as he scolded!
Hearing this, Fatty Niu"s face revealed a pleasant surprise. These words from Xiang Yun were undoubtedly a promise!
"Boss, you … you really want to save me!"
"Humph!" Do you think I want to save you? " Xiang Yun said snappily before asking, "Who are those people? Don"t they know who you are?"
Xiang Yun was very strange. With Fatty Niu"s status, no matter how bold the other person was, it was one thing for them to win over Fatty Niu"s money. They actually dared to win over Fatty Niu"s sabre and sword, or even the Yellow Horse Vest bestowed upon them by the late emperor.
When Fatty Niu mentioned this, he immediately became even angrier. He spoke with a face full of indignation.
"Hey, boss, don"t mention it. At first, I thought they didn"t know my ident.i.ty, but after they beat me up, I reported my name. I thought I could scare them so much, but who would"ve thought that this group of people really had the guts!"
"They actually said, "I don"t care about your bulls.h.i.t Master Shu, even if the prince of the city comes, we are not afraid!""
"Look, look! Boss, the group of troublesome people under your rule is about to overturn the heavens!" Fatty Niu was so angry that his saliva flew everywhere, causing waves of meat to roll in the air!
"Hmm?"
As the saying goes, the one who says it doesn"t mean it, the one who listens means it. Fatty Niu only spoke these words out of anger, but Xiang Yun sensed a trace of an unusual oddity. It could even be said that this was a conspiracy!
There seemed to be something amiss with today"s incident. At least, there were three major doubts!
Firstly, Xiang Yun was very clear on Fatty"s gambling skills. Entering the casino was definitely a nine out of ten bet. The only time he had done so was probably when someone else was worried about his ident.i.ty and had decided to go easy on him.
Secondly, the other party had a wager with Fatty Niu. It was one thing if they won the bet, but how could they even dare to take Fatty Niu"s sabre and sword, or even the Yellow Horse Garment bestowed by the previous emperor?He even dared to lay his hands on the president of the Board of Justice and the young master of the big boss. No matter how strong the backer of this gambling house was, it shouldn"t be so arrogant.
Third, Fatty Niu"s last sentence, "No matter what Young Master Shang you say, even if the prince of the city comes, we are not afraid."This sentence sounded like he was boasting about himself, but it seemed more like he was pointing out the direction for Fatty Niu. It seemed like he was the one who had requested for his help. After all, he was the sole backer of Fatty Niu in Qinfeng City.
If the crown prince had been so intelligent, he wouldn"t have thought of these three points. When he heard that the crown prince didn"t even care about him, he would have jumped up to save his brother"s life.
As for Xiang Yun, who was familiar with Jin Yong"s novels, he was familiar with the scheming and tricks of the opposing side. He had immediately found out the other party"s weak point.
He had a feeling that this gambling house was not set up for the sake of Fatty Niu. The other party"s real target seemed to be him!
"Could it be that someone wanted to harm me?"Xiang Yun"s first thought was that the people in the Imperial Dragon City were people of n.o.ble status like him.
Back in Dragon City, Xiang Yun had relied on his ident.i.ty as the son of the family, as well as the indulgence of the current emperor"s own imperial uncle, to offend this bunch of people.
No matter what, the other side actually dared to come to his territory and provoke Qin Feng City. Xiang Yun, as the Vice City Lord of Qin Feng City and the brother of Fatty Niu, naturally could not hide from him.
"Alright, Fatty Niu, let"s go and find a fight!" Xiang Yun suddenly waved his hand and said in high spirits!
"Ah!"
Fatty Niu had not expected Xiang Yun to change his mind so quickly, and had yet to react. Hearing what was said, he was stunned for a moment before nodding his head repeatedly like a chick pecking rice.
"Hey, hey! Good! Good! Good!" I"ll lead the way right now! "
Just as Fatty Niu turned to leave, Xiang Yun called out to him. He then turned to Lin Wan"er and said, "Wan"er, go get a million taels of silver for me!"Lin Wan"er looked at Xiang Yun with some hesitation, "Crown Prince, are you really going?" Lin Wan"er was afraid that her son had been hanging out with Fatty Niu for two days and would return to his former state. She would be loitering around the brothel all day long.
"Lady Wan-Er, go get the money. I am protecting your son. Don"t worry!" At this moment, Fatty Niu was feeling extremely anxious. He was afraid that if he went too late, others would run away.
Xiang Yun also nodded at Lin Wan"er. Only then did Lin Wan"er turn around and go to the storehouse to get the money for Xiang Yun!
A short while later, with Xiang Yun as the leader, the three of them swaggered out of the street with Fatty Niu and Lin Wan"er following behind them, heading straight for Qin Feng"s West City Gambling Workshop!
It was impossible for the three of them to not attract attention as they walked along the road. It was too conspicuous for them to walk together with the fat cow. Furthermore, they were bare-chested while the fat on their body was shaking non-stop like the waves.This fellow had his head held high, and he was looking like a valiant general who needed to be extracted from within! This caused the people on the street to look like they were watching a gorilla, competing to watch and see what was going on!
Lin Wan"er and Xiang Yun, who were at the side, couldn"t help but wish they could stay away from this fellow.
"Fatty Niu, can"t you keep a low profile!?" Xiang Yun could not help but remind him.
However, Fatty Niu shook his head and said proudly, "Boss, this Qin Feng City"s Eldest Brother, I, the City Lord, and the Third Brother, our Eldest Brother has come out. Isn"t that just a crab walking on the road?!""Furthermore, my father said that no matter what this person loses, he must not lose his momentum!"
"Uh …" Xiang Yun couldn"t help but cover his face with his hands, he could be considered to have completely given in to this fellow.The three of them walked for about a quarter of an hour before they finally arrived at the West City. The West City was the place where the most gambling houses gathered.
At this moment, Fatty Niu was leading the way for the two of them. They walked along the corridor, taking seven or eight turns. They pa.s.sed by many casinos that were bustling with business and yet, they did not enter.
However, he brought Xiang Yun and the rest to a quiet, small alley where very few people walked. Fatty Niu walked in front with vigorous steps, afraid that this fella would be caught by the walls on both sides.
"Hey, fatty Niu, why did you come to this remote corner to gamble? How did you find this place with so many twists and turns?" Xiang Yun was very doubtful.
Sigh, I was just pa.s.sing by today when I heard two gamblers chatting near the mouth of the alley. They said that there was a new casino here with a very good environment and they were very popular. I asked where they were.
Xiang Yun couldn"t help but feel a dark cloud over his head when he heard this. There was no need to think to know that this fatty was probably tricked by someone else.The two of them must have been trying to lure this guy into taking the bait on purpose. Only Fatty Niu had this kind of intelligence. He was deceived by others yet he still praised them for their kindness. He was truly a man who was sold and even helped to count the money.
"How long till we get there?" Xiang Yun said impatiently.
"We"re almost there. Turn around the corner and we"ll go to the small courtyard on the second floor!" The fat cow hurriedly comforted her.
After a long while, the three of them finally arrived at the entrance of a small yard of a low ceilinged household. This small yard looked quite unremarkable.The walls were mostly shed, there were no sculptures on the eaves of the rooftop houses, and the outside of the door was simple and crude. The outside was covered with two moss-covered flagstones, two crooked bamboo doors were lightly covered, and inside faintly came the sounds of gamblers betting.
"Right here?" Xiang Yun asked, a little puzzled.
"Right, right, this is the place!" Fatty Niu hurriedly pushed open the wooden door and lifted the two curtains, leading them inside!The moment Xiang Yun entered, he immediately felt refreshed!
In front of him was a wide area. The room was clean and tidy, with a faint fragrance wafting in the air. The surrounding windows and stone pillars were carved with exquisite designs, and a dozen or so neat and beautiful calligraphy and paintings were hung on the walls.
At this moment, there were more than ten mahogany tables in the room, each of them filled with brand-new gambling tools. All of them were surrounded by gamblers, and they were holding silver bills, their faces and necks red as they shouted, "Open it wide! "Small, small, small!"
As Xiang Yun"s gaze sized up the entire gambling den, the gamblers also turned their heads, their gazes landing on Fatty Niu.
It gathered around Xiang Yun before finally landing on Lin Wan"er! He immediately turned his head back and continued to place his bets.
These people"s gazes had not escaped Xiang Yun"s senses. At this moment, Xiang Yun"s heart felt a great sense of vigilance!Because even though the people in the gambling house had disguised themselves very well and continued to yell crazily, their eyes did not have the kind of crazy excitement of a real gambler.
Each of their pupils were clear, but they were nothing. The eyes of the gamblers were bloodshot from losing something!If these were the details from the past, naturally Xiang Yun would not have been able to observe them. And now that his strength had greatly increased and he was already on guard, he could see even more clearly!
Xiang Yun"s ears twitched as he suddenly saw two muscular men behind him. They had reached out a hand to close the wooden door!
Xiang Yun rolled his eyes before suddenly shouting out to Lin Wan"er.
"Wan-Er, I didn"t expect such a big casino to be here. I must make a big bet today. Go back home and get me another two million silver taels. I will slaughter everyone today!"
Hearing this, Lin Wan"er froze. She did not understand why Xiang Yun had suddenly asked her to pay another two million silver taels.Just as she was feeling somewhat puzzled, Xiang Yun suddenly came close to her ear and quickly whispered something. Lin Wan"er"s body trembled as she glanced at Xiang Yun. She immediately understood and raised her voice to reply.
"Alright, this servant will head back to the residence now and bring you more bets!"
With that, Lin Wan"er turned to leave. The two men who were closing the door looked at each other. While they were hesitating, Lin Wan"er had already ran out!
Seeing this, Fatty Niu, who previously had been dissatisfied with Xiang Yun not having brought enough gamblers, now had a face as wide as a urinal as he was, repeatedly clapping his hands and cheering.
"Alright, alright, alright. I just want to take more bets so that I can kill that group of b.a.s.t.a.r.ds!"
"Fatty Niu, where are they? Let"s go meet them!""Boss, they"re upstairs. I"ll show you the way!" With the support of Xiang Yun, Fatty Niu"s confidence was boosted greatly, and he eagerly walked to the front to lead the way!
When the two of them went upstairs, they arrived at the stairs on the second floor and saw three people standing in front of them. They seemed to have been waiting for them for a long time!
Of the three people, two were male and one was female. The middle-aged man looked to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. He was dressed in a green robe and was quite handsome.Beside him was a tall and st.u.r.dy man with a square face and a full beard. Although his gaze was not sharp, it gave off a sense of danger.
As for the only girl among the three, her appearance wasn"t that pretty. However, her clothes were revealing, her figure was tall, her skin was very white, and under her long and narrow eyes, there was even a seductive mole.
Especially the latter"s long, white, and beautiful legs, which were exposed from under her slit skirt, was exceptionally eye-catching!Seeing the two of them go upstairs, the green robed man standing in the middle stepped forward and clasped his hands towards them, and said in an extremely cordial manner.
"Aiyo, I thought Young Master Niu wouldn"t be back, but I didn"t expect that he would actually bring His Highness the crown prince. Two big shots have come, I"m truly sorry for the disrespect!"
