Taking Advantage of Others [Rebirth]

Chapter 25

After all, they had just entered the city, and when they were exhausted, they took a rest for a day, planning to act again at nightfall tomorrow.

The name of Gu Qixiang's gold-selling cave in Meng Jing's mouth is "Piaomiaojian", which means fairy mountain, but it also has a high spirit. It opens at night and closes at dawn. It is so famous that even the Central Plains has many Wealthy businessmen and hawkers come here to spend a lot of money.Although they came here to search for clues, they still needed to pretend to be a little bit, so they changed into silk and brocade on purpose, and made a look like a dude.

Yue Xiao was originally a chic and unrestrained character, but after changing into a dandy, he looked like a dog, like a son of a family.It's just that he wanted to look like a nouveau riche, so he purposely found a few gold rings and straps and put them on. The glittering gold stood out from the crowd, Shen Qingyu couldn't help but look at him a few more times, and wrinkled slightly in disgust. Eyebrows, asked: "Why do you want to dress like this?"

Yue Xiao was taken aback, and asked back, "Aren't all the wealthy businessmen outside the pass dressed like this?"

Shen Qingyu was also taken aback for a moment, thinking about what the businessman outside the customs would look like in his mind, hesitantly said: "The wealthy businessman outside the customs... is this the outfit?"

"Look at my senior brother's attire and his knife." Yue Xiao lit up the gold ring on his hand and said, "If it wasn't too hot here, I would really like to get a mink fur coat to wear. "

Shen Qingyu: "..."

Shen Qingyu didn't really want to talk to him.

Shen Qingyu kept a low profile. The Shen family was a martial arts family, but in the Jiangnan generation, there were thousands of hectares of fertile land, dozens of shops, and a large family business. Although it was not as rich as an enemy country, it was still considered a wealthy household.

And he doesn't practice martial arts, his father taught him how to take care of family affairs, but most of those things are not his turn to deal with, he has a gentleman's demeanor, but it is inevitable that he also has a bit of a dandyism in his bones.

He didn't take the exam either. At home, he just read some romantic idle books, arty collected some antiques, although he seldom went to get drunk with those rich men and buddies, but he knew what a real dude should look like.

In other words, he didn't need to pretend at all, he was originally a son of a family in Jiangnan water town.

He was just holding a folding fan in his hand, and he already looked like an ignorant young master.But this time they were going to inquire, and it was not appropriate to wear knives. Besides, Yue Xiao's two knives were too broken, which would damage his image as a nouveau riche outside the pass, so they were all placed at Meng Jing's place, and the two went together Gu Qixiang's misty room.

The two of them walking together were too incompatible, the disciples of the mountain villa drove the car for the two of them, and when they stopped outside the Piao Miao Room, some people couldn't help but look sideways at this place, as if they couldn't understand how a nouveau riche could walk with the son of a family One piece, Shen Qingyu didn't notice it yet, although Yue Xiao noticed the gazes of those people, he just felt strange for no reason.

They entered the door of Misty Room, after all, they were newcomers who were unfamiliar with each other, and soon a servant leading the way came round to ask their names.Yue Xiao claimed that his surname was Jiang, and he was a businessman from outside the Guan. He heard about Piao Miaojian’s name, so he came here to have a look. The slang that people outside the customs understand, he played the image of the nouveau riche so vividly, and the smell of copper all over his body, even Shen Qingyu wanted to stay away from him.

And Shen Qingyu claimed that his surname was Song. He borrowed his identity as the son of a wealthy businessman he knew in the past, and said that he met Yue Xiao by chance. suspect.

The servant respectfully invited the two of them to the inner room, and before he opened the door, Shen Qingyu felt that this place was really different from the outside, the area in front of him was nearly a hundred feet long and wide, and the height did not reach the top.Several gambling games have been opened, and according to a rough estimate, there are already hundreds of luxuriously dressed people inside, and a high platform is built about ten feet away from the house, and several blond-haired and blue-eyed orchids in revealing clothes twist their waists and push their hips dancing.

Shen Qingyu had also seen orchids who made a living by dancing in the Central Plains, but those dances were still exotic and serious dances, not as straightforward as the ones he saw now, as if he wanted to wrap that thin waist around a human body It looks average.

He frowned and didn't look there any longer, only felt that although Gu Qixiang's misty room regarded himself as a fairyland, it didn't have half a fairy spirit, it was more like the utmost luxury and chaos, even the floor tiles and beams wished they were made of pure gold , how can there be such a fairyland in the world?

Yue Xiao was also taken aback, and whispered in his ear, "There is still such a good place in the world."

Shen Qingyu couldn't help but frowned and looked at him, and said, "This Gu Qixiang, maybe it's not an exaggeration to call him a wealthy and enemy country."

"No matter how much money he has, I think he must be richer than me." Yue Xiao already felt a little itchy, he touched it in his bosom, took out some banknotes, and said, "You don't want to drink or gamble. And don't be accompanied by beautiful women, others will know that you are here to provoke trouble."

Shen Qingyu raised his eyebrows: "I don't drink too much, and I don't like beauties."

Yue Xiao stuffed the silver ticket into his hand, and said with a smile: "Then it's okay to gamble a few times?"

Shen Qingyu: "I don't really like..."

Yue Xiao said again: "It's okay, I will lose if I lose."

In terms of financial resources, Xuanshuang Villa is far above the Shen family, so he really doesn't mind losing a small amount of money.Shen Qingyu also knew that if he didn't do anything, he would be more attractive, so he looked around, wanting to find an interesting game, but unexpectedly, he caught a glimpse of another door opened on the side, and behind it was a stone There were a lot of people going down the ladder, so he leaned there. Hearing the loud cheers and shouts from the stone ladder, Yue Xiao looked for the servant guarding the gate and asked where it was below.

The man smiled flatteringly at Yue Xiao and Shen Qing, and said, "My lords, there is an even bigger game going on."

Shen Qingyu frowned and asked, "The stakes are higher?"

But the servant shook his head, took a step closer mysteriously, and said, "It's a game of life and death."

……

Shen Qingyu and Yue Xiao walked down the stone steps to know what the life and death situation the servant was talking about.

This underground is a huge arena, if it is in the Central Plains, fighting to the death in the arena is nothing more than fighting cocks, dogs and crickets, but in this misty space, it is people fighting.

When Shen Qingyu and Yue Xiao arrived here, they saw the opening of a gambling game. The outside of the game was separated by an iron gate. Both sides of the deathmatch were locked in an iron cage. Looking around, one can vaguely see that among the two, one is a Kunlun slave with a dark complexion, while the other is just a teenager.

The disparity in strength between the two needless to say, Shen Qingyu just glanced at it, and felt that the young man might die tragically on the spot, he couldn't bear to watch it anymore, but unexpectedly, just after the game started, there were still many spectators pouring in from behind, who actually took him He and Yue Xiao squeezed to the side of the iron cage that kept the boy.

Only then did Shen Qingyu take a closer look. This young man was about fifteen or sixteen years old. He seemed to be of mixed race between Hu and Han. His face was not like that of a Hu, but it was deeper than that of the people from the Central Plains. His hair was black, but his eyes were green. A middle-aged man in brocade and silk stood there, looking down at him with his hands behind his back, and followed another person nodding and bowing beside him. Shen Qingyu felt that it was a bit weird, so he couldn't help but leaned closer, and listened carefully to the few of them with his ears closed. talk.

If it were in the past, Shen Qingyu would definitely not be able to hear their words clearly after some distance and the casino was quite noisy, but after practicing divergence, Shen Qingyu found that his hearing and eyesight were several times better than before , Across these distances, he concentrated his attention, but he could barely hear the conversation of several people.

After listening to a few words, he learned that the obsequious man was the steward of the arena, while the well-dressed man was called Mr. Yan by the steward, but he didn't know who it was.As for that young man, the manager called him a little bastard, and threatened him viciously, telling him that in this competition, he can only win, not lose.

Having said that, looking at the physique gap between the Kunlun slave and this young man, Shen Qingyu felt that unless this child was a master of martial arts, he would definitely lose in this competition.

"Your name is Amu, right?" Mr. Yan finally said coldly, "As long as you are willing to do things for the master, the master will naturally find a solution for your sister's illness."

Amu immediately raised his head, but his eyes were still hostile, but he didn't speak, just looked at him cautiously.

"I heard from your brothers in the clan that you are a vicious dog, you will never die if you go crazy, and you will not let go if you bite." Mr. Yan looked down at him, "But even so, that person is your enemy. But."

Amu gritted his teeth and said in vague Chinese: "I will win."

Mr. Yan smiled.

"Do you want to beat him?"

he asked in a low voice.

……

Yue Xiao also came over to listen carefully to the conversation of these people, and now he couldn't help but rolled his eyes, lowered his voice extremely low, leaned into Shen Qingyu's ear, and said, "This person is really shameless."

It was obvious that they wanted the young man to work hard to win, but after a few words, it was like a young man begging them to win.

Shen Qingyu was about to speak, but saw that Mr. Yan took out a pack of black medicinal powder from his sleeve, and quietly stuffed it into A Mu's hand. He couldn't help being startled, pulled Yue Xiao's sleeve, and asked: "Where is that?" Isn't it the medicine Senior Meng said?"

They watched Amu swallow the medicine powder, and then the game started. It was supposed to be a situation of great disparity in strength, but when the Kunlun slave suppressed Amu to the ground, Amu was as powerful as a sudden madness. He didn't know the pain, so far he turned defeat into victory, and with his hands, he strangled the Kunlun slave to death on the ground.

Shen Qingyu was astonished, but still felt unspeakably nauseous, resisting the nausea and said: "It should be this."

At the end of the gambling game, Yue Xiao frowned and carefully observed the slaves in the venue to clean up the body of the Kunlun slave. Amu had already been taken down, and Yue Xiao couldn't bear to frown, and whispered: "The man's neck is broken."

If it wasn't for the problem with the medicine that Mr. Yan gave Ah Mu just now, how could a young man's hand strength break the neck of a strong Kunlun slave?

The more Shen Qingyu thought about it, the more nauseated he felt. In the past two years, he had seen countless bloody corpses, but even so, he still felt that this place was cruel and terrifying.

Those onlookers regard human life as a gamble, and that Amu, who is about the same age as Yan Yang, is supposed to be innocent, but he is desperately working in this kind of place...

He couldn't bear it, but there was no way to end it all.

"You don't need to look any further." Shen Qingyu said, "The medicinal powder is indeed from here, let's go back."

After he finished speaking, he endured his nausea and walked out. Yue Xiao followed closely behind him. The two of them climbed the stone steps and arrived at the lobby. Just as they were about to go out, they suddenly saw an orchid covered in a light veil rushing in. into Yue Xiao's arms.

She obviously didn't see anyone behind her, she was startled, she bent her eyebrows and smiled as if apologizing to them, her eyes were green like a cat's, she just smiled and covered her eyes in embarrassment With his face running away, Yue Xiao was startled, and frowned slightly. Although he still followed Shen Qingyu's footsteps, he walked all the way outside the Piao Miao Room, but he still didn't say a word.

Shen Qingyu finally calmed down, looking back at Yue Xiao, who still seemed to be in deep thought, couldn't help but frown and said, "I've already left, and your soul doesn't seem to be back yet."

Yue Xiao retorted: "Master Shen's vinegar smell is strong, how dare Yue Mou lose his mind."

After he finished saying this sentence, before Shen Qingyu got angry, he stretched out his hand, holding a note in his hand, and Yue Xiao said: "That orchid gave it to me just now."

Shen Qingyu was stunned, it was a place where no one was present, so he asked Yue Xiao to open the note and take a look, and he also leaned over to take a look, and was a little surprised, the note was written with a strong character Lower case——

"I'll see you at the Suzaku Tower tomorrow."

This small script is not like a woman's handwriting, and the skills in it can't be completed in more than ten years, so it shouldn't be from the hands of that orchid.

Yue Xiao couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and said, "Yue is really blessed."

He turned the note over and saw that there were two smaller characters written on the back corner of the note - "Suyang"
