Chapter 671 Chain reaction
The Golden Hook Gambling House adjusted the handicap that night. Through word of mouth among the gamblers, the news that Tianyong Camp would be defeated spread throughout the capital like it had wings. Some people were happy and some were worried. Everyone knew that the gambling house was not a loose place.
Money boy, the adjustment of the handicap must be based on a basis. Everyone speculated on the inside story behind it and quickly followed the trend and placed bets.
When the news reached the Five Fortune Alliance, Wu Ruonan hurried into a quiet courtyard.
It was midnight, the stars were twinkling, everything was quiet, and the bluestone was cool. Xiao Chilang, who was adjusting his breath and breathing, opened his eyes in a hurry, and the light was like lightning. It was clear that his cultivation had reached a higher level.
In order to avoid the pursuit of the Song army, he has been living in seclusion for a while, only moving around the territory of the Five Fortune Alliance, patiently waiting for the limelight to pass. Since he does not care about worldly affairs and does not need to deal with chores, he can concentrate on practicing martial arts, which can be regarded as a loss.
It’s time to harvest the mulberry trees in the east corner.
Xiao Chilang opened the door and stared at the light and graceful beauty. A touch of gentle joy appeared in his eyes, and he said with a smile: "Ruonan, why are you so anxious?"
When Wu Ruonan touched those tender eyes, his heart skipped a beat, and two red clouds floated on his cheeks. He felt his feet were as light as stepping on clouds, and said with a smile: "Didn't you tell me to pay attention to Fu Jingtao's news?
"
Xiao Chilang's heart moved, and he gently held her soft little hand: "Oh! I'm all ears."
Wu Ruonan suppressed his shame and said: "The news just came out from the Golden Gou Casino that Fu Jingtao's training results are not obvious. The Tianyong Army is very likely to be swept in this military exercise. The odds are adjusted to 1 to 20!"
Xiao Chilang frowned and said: "Is the news about Jingou Gambling House reliable?"
Wu Ruonan said: "The Golden Gou Gambling House has a complicated background and many eyes, so the judgments they make are extremely credible."
Xiao Chilang took a breath and murmured: "Fu Jingtao is not an omnipotent monster after all! If he is also good at commanding troops and forming military formations, and military strategies, then do others still have a way to survive?"
He was a dignified Khitan prince and the leader of the Wolf Alliance. He personally led his elite to ambush Fu Jingtao but failed. In the end, all his subordinates were killed, leaving him alone to run for his life in embarrassment. It was a lifelong shame! Especially when I think of this abominable person.
The opponent is still under eighteen years old, but his martial arts skills are so high and his reputation is so great that he is really jealous!
Wu Ruonan couldn't help but ask: "Do you have any grudge against him?"
Xiao Chilang said slowly: "If he were my enemy, would you help me?"
Wu Ruonan said: "Of course!"
Xiao Chilang said sternly: "Then you should find someone to check immediately. Where did you get the news about the Golden Gou Casino? Where is the Tianyong Army's specific station? Where will this military exercise be held? In addition, help me as soon as possible.
Find a disguise master. I plan to go to the city soon."
Counting the time, the Khitan Wolf Alliance's support personnel should have arrived in Kaifeng one after another, and most of them are secretly investigating his whereabouts. If they want to get in touch with their companions, they can only venture into the city.
Wu Ruonan asked worriedly: "Do you want to break into the Forbidden Army camp alone?"
Xiao Chilang smiled and said: "Don't worry, I'm not the kind of idiot who blindly acts recklessly!" As he said that, he put his arms around Wu Ruonan's waist, pulled her into his arms, and bowed his head for a deep kiss.
Wu Ruonan's body was soft, his heart was intoxicated, and he was completely trapped in this invisible network...

Outside Donghua Gate, Fanlou Street is brightly lit, with the sound of silk and bamboo singing. Exquisite and luxurious buildings stand side by side. One of the tall buildings is surrounded by thick curtains, with bamboo and wooden shelves built inside. Many carpenters
, bricklayers, carvers, and painters climbed up and down to work all night long. Qiao Hui took several stewards and supervisors to inspect everything inside and outside. If there was any dissatisfaction, he would immediately rectify it - the Tokyo branch of Jubao Pavilion is about to open.
, if you want to be an instant hit, every detail must be perfect.
After being busy until midnight, Qiao Huifang dragged his tired body back to his residence. As soon as he sat down firmly, he heard the soft sound of footsteps, and Zhong Peqi, with smiling eyes, floated in like a white cloud, her hands as delicate as jade, holding a bowl of longan.
Wolfberry and egg custard. Qiao Hui laughed, took the egg custard without politeness, and ate it cleanly.
Peggy Chung held her fragrant cheek in her hand and asked softly: "Is it delicious?"
Qiao Hui raised his thumb and praised: "It's delicious and impeccable. I really want to have three more bowls!"
Peggy Chung chuckled: "Are you a big fat pig? If I cook three more bowls for you, I won't be able to exhaust myself to death!"
Qiao Hui's heart moved slightly: "You cooked this yourself?"
Zhong Peiqi's cheeks were slightly red and she said angrily: "Don't think so wildly, how could I be so free?!" The topic changed and she continued, "I just received news that the Golden Gou Gambling House has adjusted the odds of Tianyong Camp to
It’s twenty for one.”
"Twenty for one?" Qiao Hui shook his head, "Has the boss of the Golden Hook Casino been kicked in the head by a donkey? How dare you look down on Senior Brother Fu like this?"
Peggy Chung said: "It is said that someone sold top-secret information to the gambling house, so they hurriedly raised the odds. I have asked people to start an investigation. Who is selling the information?"
Since the war of the Demon Emperor came to an end, she has never returned to the Zhong Mansion. Following Zhong Wannian's instructions, she quietly lurked in the city, secretly took over the Zhong family's secret assets, and also had a team of people who obeyed her orders.
Powerful. In order to prevent the demon sect from coming back, she pays special attention to the movements on the streets of Tokyo. She will definitely know the slightest disturbance.
The dispute between the Demon Sect has been protracted, and the temporary retreat of the Demon Sect does not mean the end of the dispute. In fact, Zhong Wannian has sold all his salable properties and moved to live in seclusion outside the city, like a dragon with no head or tail.
Qiao Hui frowned and said, "Is there someone who is cheating? But there are Shenwu guards all around the military camp. Logically, not even a fly can fly in, so who can leak the news? Unless..." He suddenly clapped his hands and smiled at Zhong Peiqi.
, "Miss, can you lend me ten thousand taels of silver?"
Peggy Chung wondered: "Why did you borrow money for no reason?"
Qiao Hui said: "Of course I go to the gambling house to place a bet! I bet 10,000 and get 200,000. You can't give up this kind of free money, otherwise you will be punished by God."
Zhong Peiqi said: "How can you be so sure that Tianyong Camp can win? The banker is not stupid, how can he give you money for free?"
Qiao Hui smiled and said, "How about we make a bet?"
Zhong Peiqi rolled her eyes: "You want to trick me into a trap? No way!" She had known Qiao Hui for more than a day or two. She knew that this guy was smarter than a monkey and would never do a loss-making business. She raised a finger and smiled.
Said: "I will lend you one hundred thousand taels of silver."
Qiao Hui asked warily: "What conditions do you have?"
Zhong Peiqi said leisurely: "If you win the bet, you will share half of the profit of 100,000 taels with me; if you lose the bet, you need to pay me back the principal of 100,000 taels plus interest. How about it?"
Qiao Hui sighed: "Aren't you convinced of me?"
Peggy Chung raised her chin and said: "Stop talking nonsense, do you want to borrow it or not? If you don't, I'll be screwed!"
