Caishen Hall, fifth floor.
Lin Tianyou was lying on the ground covered with human bones, as if he was closing his eyes to rest and was about to fall asleep.
However, the violent rise and fall of his chest showed that he was not as calm as he appeared.
"It seems like this old guy Wang Daofan hasn't relaxed at all over the years. I'm afraid his strength has already reached the eighth level."
"He seems to have known that Jiang Fengqing entered Chang'an and the God of Wealth Hall, but he didn't take action. Why is this?"
"Obviously it was he who single-handedly pushed the eldest prince into the abyss and supported the second prince to control all the high officials in the court. This is why the second prince is so prosperous in the court today, but why does he seem to be helping Jiang Fengqing now? mean?"
…
Lin Tianyou muttered one sentence after another, not knowing who he was talking to.
It was said that he was talking to someone else, but apart from Lin Tianyou, there was no one else on the empty fourth floor.
I would say I was talking to myself, but...
"Why are you so calculating? Just follow my master's instructions."
A cold voice suddenly sounded on the fourth floor. The sound was like a rootless tree, making people have no idea where it came from.
Lin Tianyou trembled when he heard this and his face darkened.
"I will not be subject to military orders abroad. What's more, your master and I are in a cooperative relationship and have no right to order me!"
"Do you know that you were just a pawn in my family's hands at the beginning? It was under my family's guidance that you became the God of Wealth Hall you are today!"
"I never like to judge a person's value by his achievements, so I don't care much about this God of Wealth Hall. I don't deny that it was your family who helped me when I was down. Without him, I might have died long ago. During the heavy snowfall in Chang'an." Lin Tianyou's eyes flashed with memories. After a long time, he closed his eyes and said softly, "This can be used as capital for him to negotiate and cooperate with me, not for you. This servant is qualified to boss you around here!"
The next moment, Lin Tianyou's figure disappeared from the place and appeared on a huge lamp stand full of candles above the fifth floor.
I saw a man covered in black cloth standing in the gap of the lamp stand, with only a pair of fierce eyes exposed.
As soon as this man saw Lin Tianyou appearing behind him, his eyes trembled.
He obviously didn't expect that even Wang Daofan didn't notice him after staying on the fifth floor for so long, but now he was suddenly discovered by Lin Tianyou.
"You...if you dare to kill me, I...my master will definitely not let you go!"
The black cloth man said harsh words in a panic, but he knew very well in his heart that according to his family's character, which only focused on profit results, he would definitely not fight with Lin Tianyou, the current boss of the God of Wealth Hall, for a dead person who had nothing to do with the overall situation. He would overturn the table and even use his death as capital to obtain more profits.
Lin Tianyou sighed, but looked at the black cloth man with an expression of pity on his face, "If it weren't for the sake of your family, you wouldn't be alive now."
The black cloth man looked surprised, obviously not understanding the meaning of Lin Tianyou's words.
"Don't resist!"
The next moment, Lin Tianyou raised his right hand and held it against the black cloth man, as if he wanted to absorb something from him.
"If you dare to touch me, my master Li..."
The black cloth man was horrified. He used his inner strength to resist, but at the same time he was about to move out of his support.
But before he finished speaking, he saw Lin Tianyou's face darken and he raised his left hand again, making a scratching motion towards his throat.
The black cloth in the black cloth man's throat instantly exploded into countless pieces. His Adam's apple twitched up and down, but no sound came out.
It was obvious that his internal energy had spread all over his body, forming a protective barrier, but Lin Tianyou's attack seemed to ignore his internal energy barrier and act directly on him.
Soon, the black cloth man felt a strong suction force on his stomach, as if it was trying to suck out all his internal organs.
The black cloth man felt a sense of powerlessness. His whole body was fixed, and he didn't even have a chance to struggle.
Although he knew that Lin Tianyou's strength was far superior to his own, he did not expect that the difference in strength between them would actually allow him to be instantly killed in a single encounter, without the ability to fight back.
As time passed, the black cloth man felt the suction on his stomach getting stronger and stronger. The flesh and blood on his stomach even felt like it was about to break away, and even the countless blood vessels in his stomach seemed to start to overflow with blood under the suction force.
However, all the blood was absorbed by the black cloth on his body, and the black cloth was dyed with bright red blood, forming a dull color.
The severe pain made the black cloth man almost grind his teeth, and he even wished that his belly was not on his body.
But the pain did not change due to his will. Lin Tianyou on the opposite side still had a gloomy face, and his hands seemed like the ferocious hands of a demon in the eyes of the black cloth man.
呲
A small amount of black energy suddenly flew out from between the black cloth on the black cloth man's body and shot straight towards Lin Tianyou.
The speed of the black energy is astonishing, and its size is so small that it cannot be detected unless you look carefully. It also carries an irresistible aura that will surely hit you.
However, Lin Tianyou just twitched his sword eyebrows, stared hard at the black energy, released his control on the black cloth man with both hands, and squeezed together.
The black energy was instantly annihilated on its way to Lin Tianyou, and then Lin Tianyou disappeared.
As for the black cloth man, he was lying weakly on the ground, like a dead dog.
Although the black cloth people were full of curiosity and doubts, they all stayed where they were. He just wanted to lie down quietly for a while and had no other thoughts in his mind. After all, his stomach was twitching non-stop.
In the palace, Wang Daofan, who was sitting in a side hall drinking tea and chatting with several first-grade officials, was suddenly startled.
Several officials watched with curiosity as Wang Daofan slowly put down his tea cup. The smile that had just gathered on his face slowly dissipated. He closed his eyes and gently probed his head as if he was listening carefully.
Several officials fell silent for a moment, trying their best not to make a sound. At the same time, they also listened carefully, trying to figure out what the Prime Minister in front of them was listening to.
After half a cup of tea, when several officials were a little impatient, Wang Daofan opened his eyes with a surprised smile on his face, as if he heard something he had never heard before.
"I wonder what the Prime Minister was listening to just now?" the oldest official among several officials asked after carefully considering his words.
Wang Daofan suddenly laughed, "Haha, I just heard someone singing a good show, but when they reached the climax, they suddenly stopped singing."
"Ah this..."
The officials were all lost in thought. In the palace compound, they had never heard of any concubine inviting a troupe to perform in an opera recently. What's more, they had listened carefully for so long, but they hadn't heard any singing sounds. So where does this so-called good show come from?
The old official frowned, hesitated for a moment and then asked, "I wonder who is singing the good show that the Prime Minister mentioned?"
"Oh, I just heard who was singing this opera. But just when I was about to hear it, someone disturbed the stage, and I only heard that the person's surname was Liu."
Wang Daofan's words immediately made several officials think for a while, wondering what the meaning of the surname Liu was.
Caishen Hall, third floor.
The gambling game was still going on. When the ten maids returned to the gambling table, they all held an exquisite jade box. The dark green jade box blocked the line of sight. Even if they looked at the jade box, they could not see what was inside.
The maids gently placed the jade box in front of the gambler in their charge.
At this time, the gamblers carefully opened the jade box to see what their gambling stones had revealed.
After seeing it, some people had sad faces, and some were radiant. However, these expressions can only be used as part of a reference, and cannot be used directly to evaluate the value of what they offer. You must know that these expressions may also be those of these gamblers. A means to cover up what one has prescribed.
A sad face does not necessarily mean that good things have not been obtained, and a glowing face does not necessarily mean that good things have been obtained. After all, no one can know the truth or lie between people's hearts.
As for Jiang Fengqing, she was looking inside her jade box and saw a piece of paper inside, with four big characters written on it, which was priceless.
Jiang Fengqing was just surprised for a moment before closing the jade box, and then turned to look at the maid behind her with a scrutinizing gaze.
The maid seemed to have received some instructions, and she immediately leaned over and whispered softly in his ear, "Your gambling stone contains something incredible. At present, our God of Wealth Hall is unable to estimate an accurate value for your gambling stone."
The corners of Jiang Fengqing's mouth raised slightly and she just nodded lightly.
Suddenly his eyes moved slightly and he looked towards the stone dissolution site in the distance. I saw a figure in simple clothes leading eight purple-robed deacons into the stone-breaking place.
A gust of wind blew by, and the screen swayed slightly, as if it was about to fall.
"All gamblers, please choose your opponents in turn, starting with gambler No. 1."
The dealer's clear voice drew Jiang Fengqing's eyes back, and Jiang Fengqing returned to the gambling game again.
Li Zhenyu's eyes passed over the nine gamblers one by one, his eyes bright and clear.
What his gambling stone revealed did not disappoint him. It was a piece of exquisite blue agate, and the small note attached to the agate was marked with the words three million.
This gave him confidence that he could definitely beat everyone else's bets without any accidents. Because he knows very well that under normal circumstances, the price of the gambling stones on the third floor gambling table is generally less than 2.5 million, and even 2.5 million is rare, let alone 3. million.
This made Li Zhenyu even more excited. When he first saw this gambling stone, he felt that this gambling stone was unusual, so he deliberately chose this gambling table.
After he carefully inspected it, he felt more and more that this gambling stone might be able to produce something good.
"Betting on stones is just a small way." Li Zhenyu felt quite sad in his heart. Thinking of the efforts and hard work he had put in to study the art of gambling on stones, and now that he had gained something, he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride.
Li Zhenyu's eyes finally landed on Lu Jinxin, who looked depressed, and a smile gradually appeared on his face, "I choose No. 9 as my opponent."
Lu Jinxin suddenly felt a suffocation in his chest. He was originally unlucky. After losing the competition with Li Zhenyu, he could only choose from a pile of shabby gambling stones. What made him even more annoyed was that the pile of junk was really junk. The gambling stone he chose had nothing in it, just an ordinary stone.
"Damn it, Li Zhenyu, just wait for me and don't let me find the opportunity, otherwise..." Lu Jinxin slammed the table angrily and shouted, "I give up!"
Everyone's expressions changed, although sometimes, if the selected opponent feels that his gambling stone is definitely not as good as the opponent's, he can also admit defeat directly. But generally no one does this, because if you admit defeat, you will never have a chance again. If you don't admit defeat, maybe the opponent's performance is not as good as yours, and you can still win.
However, Lu Jinxin didn't believe that Li Zhenyu could be as lonely as him.
He didn't want to be ridiculed by Li Zhenyu again when he was comparing the value of gambling stones, so he gave up decisively.
Li Zhenyu was also stunned at this time. Based on his understanding of Lu Jinxin, he had a character that would not give up until he reached the Yellow River. Why did he just admit defeat this time?
Li Zhenyu smiled, but said nothing.
The croupier shook his head indifferently, raised his hand, and the maid behind Lu Jinxin picked up the jade box in front of Lu Jinxin, and walked slowly behind the croupier.
"Next, number two."
