The scholar froze, but he still forced himself to say, "Accomplice, what accomplice, I didn't pay a thousand dollars... I lost more than I won."
Lu Jing ignored him and quickly glanced at the gambling house.
As a result, his expression changed slightly.
Xie Lili, who was on the other side, had been holding back for a long time. Seeing that he finally had a chance to express himself, he immediately raised his hand and answered, "I know, I know! I know who his companion is. It was that guy who just sent him the message. "
However, what greeted her was not praise. Lu Jing said in a deep voice, "We'll talk about this kind of thing later. Come here first."
"oh."
Although Xie Lili has a mysterious obsession with solving mysteries and solving crimes, she also has the same advantage, that is, she will never act randomly when she should be obedient.
Just like now, she heard something was wrong in Lu Jing's tone, so she stood beside Lu Jing obediently without saying a word.
At this time, Lu Jing had already pulled the scholar to his chest, and then placed the flying sword hidden in his sleeve on his neck.
His move caused a commotion in the casino.
But the commotion went away just as quickly as it came.
Because the gamblers with frightened faces quickly fell to the ground one after another, and the thugs responsible for guarding the gate neither scolded Lu Jing for letting them go, nor did they intend to help Lu Jing catch the scholar's accomplice.
Instead, he took down the lanterns hanging under the eaves, closed the door of the gambling shop, and pretended to close early.
At this time, there were about a hundred people left in the gambling house.
Among them were bloggers, gamblers, and even two female prostitutes who were accompanying them. Without exception, they all stopped what they were doing and turned to look at Lu Jing and Xie Lili.
Despite Xie Lili's boldness, he was frightened at this time and shuddered and said, "This... so much? No way."
Lu Jing sighed, "Didn't you say before that your friend has omnipresent eyes and ears in the capital? She asked us to come here to find someone. Doesn't she know nothing about the situation here? Or is she originally from Mr. Ji's side? People... deliberately tricked us into coming here."
"Wu Yao is not that kind of person." Although his face was ugly, Xie Lili defended her friend immediately, "Based on my understanding of her, she will never do anything to betray her friends."
"It's only been a year since you came to the capital, and you've known her for even less time...Are you overestimating the friendship between you?"
Xie Lili was speechless.
At this time, the scholar in Lu Jing's arms suddenly shouted, "They are Si Tianjian's minions! I saw his belt, and I will never let them leave here alive tonight!"
Lu Jing was a little surprised when he heard this. He did have the small wooden sign with him, but it was kept close to his body. It was separated by several pieces of clothing, so it was logically impossible for anyone to see it.
But Lu Jing thought of something again immediately, and couldn't help but suddenly said, "No wonder you always make money betting on big or small, it turns out you have a pair of clairvoyant eyes."
The scholar spat on the ground, put on a posture of looking forward to death, and said with a pinched neck, "I am unlucky if I fall into your hands. You can kill me or behead me, but soon you will come down to accompany me!" "
"That's enough Qingme, didn't Mr. Ji teach you that saving your own life is the most important thing at all times?"
The one who spoke was the old man who claimed to be the owner of Golden Hook Casino.
After hearing his reprimand, the scholar named Qingme also calmed down and shut his mouth.
"It seems that you are their leader." Lu Jing turned his attention to the old man again.
The latter shook his head and said, "We wonders don't have the strict hierarchies in your human world. Everyone is equal, and no one is the leader."
"But you are all doing things for Mr. Ji."
"That's because Mr. Ji did the right thing. As the saying goes, the more people get help, the more people are willing to help him." The old man said seriously.
"In order to save one person, millions of people in the entire capital were put in danger. Is this what you call getting a lot of help?"
"How did you know about our plan?" The old man's eyes flashed, and he added after a moment, "We are not saving one person, but all the people in the world. Looking at it this way, a mere million people in the capital are nothing. .
"Besides, it's not us who have the final say whether those people die or not, it's decided by Si Tianjian. As long as Si Tianjian is willing to let Mr. Ji go, then naturally so many people in the capital will be fine.
"You guys in Sitian Prison have always talked about protecting the world. Is it just a nice thing to say?" the old man sneered.
"You will not be Si Tianjian's opponent," Lu Jing said simply, "Now that we have already come to the door, do you still think your plan will work? In fact, from the moment you entered the capital, Si Tianjian has already set his sights on you.
"But now is a special period. Mr. Guo is busy dealing with the thing in the secret realm and has no time to pay attention to you, so he sent us to warn you first and see if we can persuade you to go back." Lu Jing said.
"If I were you, I should seize this rare opportunity and take your companions to leave here quickly before it's too late. You said what Mr. Ji said, no matter what happens, keep your own Life is the most important thing.”
The old man seemed to be persuaded by Lu Jing. He hesitated and didn't speak for a long time.
However, a moment later he spoke again, "Bring me a message to Guo Shouhuai. Mr. Ji should be released within three days, otherwise not a single person in the capital will be left alive."
"What are you doing?" Lu Jing sighed, but still nodded, "Okay, we will help you carry the message.
After saying that, he planned to let go of the scholar in his hand and told Xie Lili to leave.
But the old man said again, "It's you, not you. It doesn't take two people to carry the message. Leave that little girl behind."
When Xie Lili heard this, her little face turned pale in an instant, and she looked at Lu Jing pitifully.
She was really afraid that Lu Jing would just leave her here to those strange objects.
But with her intelligence, she knew very well that there was no other way but to do this.
After all, there are too many people on the opposite side, and more than a hundred strange objects are gathered together. No matter how good Lu Jing is at fighting, he can't fight with four hands. At this time, he will keep her here as a hostage, and then go out to find a way. Perhaps the only possible option.
Lu Jing seemed to have thought the same thing. He took back the small sword that was placed on the scholar's neck. But before the scholar's face showed joy, he hit the scholar's back of the head with the hilt of the sword, knocking him down. The scholar was knocked unconscious.
Then Lu Jing picked up Xie Lili, advanced instead of retreating, and rushed towards the old man not far away!
