Star Iron: Maple of Reincarnation

Chapter 16 Imperial Palace Qiongyu

Although his troubles were gone, what could he do now? Return to the Cloud Cavalry Camp? Obviously that was unrealistic. Those high-ranking officials would surely want to kill him.

Mo Feng wandered aimlessly on Xianzhou Street. Should he go to Jinren Lane to fulfill Ruan Qingtian's last wish? For some reason, he always felt a little scared. He didn't know what he was afraid of.

To be honest, I didn't know what to do after I came back. After all, at least I had a place to live in the Yunqi Camp. Now I have to wander again, but I have to see how the fortune teller plans to move me.

"Masturbate." Suddenly, Mo Feng heard a very familiar voice.

Greenbird?

He looked towards the source of the sound and saw the blue-clothed fortune teller playing a card game with three other people. His name should be Di Yuan Qiong Yu, and he was not too famous. Mo Feng had only heard of the name of this form of entertainment.

"Na na - I won. My fellow card players, Qingque gives in to me." Qingque said with a smile.

"You're not cheating, are you?" a fellow poker player nearby said in dissatisfaction, "How come you win every time? I almost lost all my pants."

"Life is like a card game. The more anxious you are, the less chance you have of winning. I have tested my fortune today, and I am in great luck. When luck comes, no one can stop it. Just accept the loss -" Qingque said with a smile.

"No, no, I can't afford to eat. If my wife finds out, she will make me kneel on a durian again." The man waved his hand and left, but he still accepted the defeat and stayed with Xun Di.

"Don't do that - Qingque rarely has the opportunity to slack off openly. Time is precious. Let's try again -" Qingque said reluctantly.

But the man still left, probably because he really felt that he would not be able to make ends meet if he continued to lose.

Qingque sighed, looked around, and suddenly met Mo Feng's eyes.

"Hey, what a coincidence, isn't this Boss Mo? We are short of one, come and help." Qingque of course instantly recognized that this was the person he had just protected yesterday. This was fate. Looking at his eyes, Qingque was sure that he must be interested in Diyuan Qiongyu. This was also a good opportunity to promote Diyuan Qiongyu.

"I have no money." Mo Feng explained.

"The most important thing about the card game is having fun, and money is just a bonus. There is no need to gamble." Qingque pulled Mo Feng over. After all, he was an acquaintance. If he trained him to be a card partner, they could continue to play in the future. Wouldn't that be fun?

"I do not know either……"

"I know. You'll be able to do it after playing with us for a few times." Qingque said, "This thing is not difficult. You can learn it quickly."

……

"Is this nonsense?" Mo Feng asked.

"How come it's so fast - I really won? You're not going to win, are you?" Qingque exclaimed in amazement. He couldn't even beat a kid, who was just starting to play?

"What does it mean to be open?" Mo Feng asked puzzled.

Then... Qingque began to doubt his life. He only won one out of ten hands, while Mo Feng won the other nine. The other two players were so depressed by the loss. Fortunately, they didn't gamble, otherwise they would have lost more than just their pants.

Although Di Yuan Qiong Yu is a game of luck, it still requires skills. If you know how to remember the cards, you can make the best choice in each round. Although you may not necessarily win, the chances of winning are definitely the highest.

Obviously, Mo Feng had some luck.

Although Qingque has been playing for a long time and has come up with many new tricks, it seems a bit too much to say that she is the founder. She was not the one who originally founded Diyuan Qiongyu, but she was the one who promoted it and made everyone in Luofu know about it, so it doesn't seem too much to say that she is the founder.

But facing Mo Feng, who combined skills and luck, Qingque felt for the first time that he was inferior to him.

Could this guy be a genius? It's a pity for him to be a cloud rider, why not lure him to Taibusi to keep him company and slack off every day?

"Boss Mo..."

"Call me Mo Feng. I'm not the boss anymore." Mo Feng said.

"Oh, Mo Feng, are you interested in coming to Taibusi? The holy land of slacking off." Qingque doesn't know yet, but Mo Feng is a ruthless person who directly refuses to enter the general's mansion. If she knew, she would probably have given up the idea long ago.

Although Qingque does not have a high status in the Taibu Division, it is not too difficult for him to get someone into the Division based on his friendship with Lord Taibu, not to mention that this person is someone Lord Taibu has chosen.

"No, that place is not suitable for me." Mo Feng said.

"Oh. It's obvious that the Grand Astrologer thinks highly of you." Qingque said. After all, the Grand Astrologer was the only one who could guarantee someone. Although that was also the general's intention, it was the Grand Astrologer's order.

"She probably just thinks I'm a useful chess piece." Mo Feng has the self-awareness as a chess piece. It is important for a person to know himself. Only by figuring out what kind of person he is can he walk without danger.

"Don't think so badly of her. She wants Xianzhou to be better more than anyone else." Qingque sighed.

She knew that many people kept a respectful distance from Taibu. It was because her status was too terrifying. As the head of the Taibu Division and a candidate for general, she was second to none in Luofu. Her ability to divine was very important. She was an outstanding representative of the powerful. After all, she came from the Fu family of Yuque Xianzhou, which was also a famous family.

But few people know that Fu Xuan is almost a penniless person in Luofu, while other powerful people have countless properties. This Grand Bu only receives a meager salary from the position of Grand Bu, and she maintains her salary at the level of ordinary people. Even Qingque, who is idle, earns more than Grand Bu.

Luofu's economy is not optimistic. Jinren Lane is too traditional and is completely at a disadvantage in the competition with the [Interstellar Peace Company], and is likely to be assimilated. The pillar industries, such as tourism, energy processing, and foreign trade exports are firmly controlled by the powerful. It can be said that the General's Mansion has too many places to spend money. It costs money to quell the Luofu Demon Yin Body Rebellion, the Danding Division needs money to provide medicine, and the Yunqi Camp needs money for military pay and equipment. Everything costs money.

Of course, the Taibusi has many places where money is spent. The biggest money-eater is the central Qiongguan Formation. The annual cost of maintaining the Qiongguan Formation is astronomical, but it is a necessary expense. Almost all of the funds advanced by the Shen Ce Mansion are used for the Qiongguan Formation.

But of course the Taibusi has to spend money on more than just the Qiongguan Formation. For example, the salaries of its fortune tellers are a huge expense.

In order to fill this hole, Fu Xuan even sold some of Yuque's properties.

In short, in Qingque's mind, even the general was not as dedicated to the public as Fu Xuan. It seemed that she had never thought about how to live a better life in the future. Everything she did was for Luofu, which was much better than those old men who kept saying that they were for Luofu.

The powerful people naturally wanted to make friends with such a future general, but Fu Xuan rejected all of them, and her relationship with the powerful people became very cold. The powerful people did not like this outsider, and ordinary people were in awe and even afraid of this outsider. This was Fu Xuan's situation.

This is also the reason why Jing Yuan is reluctant to let her take on the position of general so early. There are still a lot of things waiting for Fu Xuan to mature.

Maybe it's just as Qingque often says.

Life is like the jade of the emperor. The more anxious you are, the less hope you have. Tea tastes just right when it is warm, but it burns your mouth when it is too hot, and it tastes unpalatable when it is too cold. There is no absolute in the world. Don't take the initiative, don't refuse, don't take responsibility. Ordinary life is so simple.
