"Then you wait here. I'll go pack up and change clothes, and then we'll go."
After saying this, Li Xi ran into the room, leaving Gu Jingzhi alone there.
Having sweated a little from boxing just now, Li Xi simply packed up and changed into a simple and light men's suit. This suit was specially prepared by her for convenience on the way to the border. The material was ordinary but comfortable.
In terms of makeup, she simply put her hair into a bun and tied it with a cloth strip. In order to avoid being conspicuous and exposed, Li Xi also lightly applied a layer of carbon powder on her face.
Looking at the slightly unfamiliar face in the bronze mirror, Li Xi smiled with satisfaction. Yes, now he looks like an ordinary dark-skinned servant.
Li Xi clapped his hands and stood up, packed up and prepared to go!
Li Xi walked out of the room. Hong Tao and Gu Jingzhi in the yard were a little surprised to see the "refreshed" Li Xi.
Hong Tao was surprised how the girl became a servant, and such a rough servant at that.
Gu Jingzhi had seen Li Xi dressed as a man before, so he was not surprised by her gender change. What surprised him was her skin color.
Before, on the way to Beijing, Li Xi wore men's clothes just for convenience. Everyone in the team knew her identity, so she naturally didn't need to wear makeup to cover herself up. But now she was going out to have fun, so she naturally had to dress up to look more like a man.
Li Xi noticed their surprise and smiled, opening her arms. "Why? You don't recognize me after I changed my clothes?"
Hong Tao lowered her head, "Girl."
Gu Jingzhi walked over and touched her dark yellow face. He looked down and saw that his fingertips were stained with black and gray powder. He rubbed it with two fingers and asked, "Carbon powder?"
"That's right." Li Xi nodded, "But there's no reward. Let's go. Didn't you say you would take me out to see some new things?"
"Let's go." Gu Jingzhi took Li Xi's hand, and felt something wrong on his hand. He took his hand back and saw that it was full of carbon powder.
Gu Jingzhi sighed and looked at Li Xi.
Li Xi stretched out her little black hand to show him, smiling brightly, "Since it's a show, you have to do it in full."
Gu Jingzhi: “…”
Li Xi put his hands behind his back and said, "Don't pull and tug after we go out. I am a man now, and I don't want to hear rumors about General Gu's short sleeves."
Gu Jingzhi: “…”
"Okay, stop dawdling and let's go, General Gu. I will be your servant today." Li Xi patted Gu Jingzhi's shoulder and said.
Gu Jingzhi glanced at the black palm print left on his shoulder, smiled slightly, and brushed off the carbon powder on his shoulder with his hand.
Li Xi glanced at her faded palms, looked at Gu Jingzhi with a guilty look, and said awkwardly, "Well, I didn't mean to do that. My hands are dirty, so you do it yourself."
I was so excited just now that I forgot about the carbon powder falling off. I will go back and make some camouflage mud that can darken the skin tone to avoid being exposed.
……
After a little episode, Gu Jingzhi and Li Xi got on the carriage.
This time Li Xi did not lift the curtain to look outside. After all, she had already seen almost everything she needed to see last time.
However, although she did not lift the curtain to look outside, she could clearly feel that their carriage was driving in twists and turns.
"Is the way to the casino quite roundabout?" Li Xi frowned.
Because of the paved cement roads in Beijing, Li Xi no longer felt carsick when riding in a car. But now, after turning around and going around in circles, she felt carsick again.
"The casino we are going to is the largest casino in Beijing. It is in a hidden location and has high entry requirements, but the environment is good."
There are indeed some small casinos, but those places are too smoky and dirty, and Gu Jingzhi doesn't want Li Xi to go to that kind of environment.
"The boss behind this probably has a pretty big background, right?"
Gu Jingzhi took a sip of tea and said, "There are always people behind the opening of a casino, but this owner is indeed quite influential."
Li Xi: "But the owner behind this is really smart. They're taking the high-end route, so they're definitely making a lot of money."
But the location she chose is a little too hidden. It's so complicated. If she continues like this, she's really going to fail.
The carriage finally stopped before Li Xi became completely carsick.
As soon as the carriage stopped, Li Xi couldn't wait to jump off the carriage, took two deep breaths of fresh air, and then he caught his breath.
Gu Jingzhi walked up to her and put his arm around her shoulders worriedly, "Axi, are you okay?"
Li Xi suddenly broke free from his arms, took two steps back, looked around, and found that there was no one. Then he breathed a sigh of relief, stared at Gu Jingzhi, and said, "Young Master, please respect yourself. Men should not touch each other."
Zhang Hao, who was standing beside the carriage, looked at Gu Jingzhi and Li Xi with an indescribable look on his face.
What are the general and Miss Li playing at? He doesn't quite understand.
Gu Jingzhi understood immediately. He looked at Li Xi lovingly, said nothing, withdrew his arm, and walked towards the door of the gambling house.
Li Xi followed one step behind, and Zhang Hao also hurriedly parked the carriage and followed.
There was no one at the door of the gambling house, but as soon as Li Xi and his friends arrived there, the door opened from the inside.
As soon as the door opened, there was a noise.
"big big big!"
"Small! Small! Small!"
"Buy it and leave it, buy it and leave it!"
"Impossible, how could it be small!"
"Damn it! I lost again, let's play another round!"
"I don't believe it anymore!"
As soon as Li Xi followed Gu Jingzhi into the room, a masked waiter came up with a tray filled with masks.
Gu Jingzhi took one and put it on his face. Li Xi followed suit and took the mask and put it on.
As Gu Jingzhi led Li Xi inside, he said, "Just like what you said just now, this gambling house is high-end and does business with the upper class.
There are many dignitaries coming and going, and they wear masks to hide their identities. "
Li Xi nodded in understanding. After all, it was not good to tell others about going in and out of the casino. It would be bad if she met some acquaintances in the casino and they told others about it. With the protection of the mask, it was like having an extra layer of disguise.
After passing through the short corridor, the view suddenly opens up.
There were dozens of gambling tables in the extremely spacious hall, and each table was surrounded by people. Most of them were staring at the sieve, shouting at the top of their lungs, or praying with their hands clasped together, looking like gamblers.
Although it can't be said to be extremely ugly, it is indeed not good-looking.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Li Xi was silent for a moment, frowning slightly. Seeing their red and bloodshot eyes, it was obvious that they were obsessed with gambling.
Gu Jingzhi looked at Li Xi's frowning brows and knew that she was not happy with this scene. "Let's go to the second floor."
"Second floor?" Li Xi followed Gu Jingzhi's steps, "Is there any difference between the second floor and the first floor?"
"You'll know when you see it."
