After the divorce, the reborn emperor seduced me into his arms
Chapter 26 Betting on Life
Yan Qing's eyes moved slightly.
Could this be the owner of the Fugui Casino?
I didn't expect it to be a woman.
Gu Huaizhou let her win money in order to force the owner of Fugui Casino to show up. Now that he has shown up, how can he win someone else's casino into his own hands?
Yan Qing felt that it was a bit far-fetched.
But I feel inexplicably excited.
Especially since she won everything she bet on just now, which gave her more confidence. She finally understood why those gamblers would still gamble even if they lost everything.
She subconsciously looked at Gu Huaizhou.
Gu Huaizhou took his hand back from the gambling table, looked at the woman and said calmly, "What's the stake?"
The woman scoffed, "Young Master, you came to the Fugui Casino to destroy the table, isn't it just to force me, Gongsun Zhi, to show up? Don't you know the rules of my Fugui Casino?"
The onlookers' expressions changed slightly as soon as the woman appeared.
"It's Gongsun Zhi! I didn't expect to alarm Gongsun Zhi!"
"Gongsun Zhi wants to take action. Who can win this bet? No more betting!"
Those who had just followed Yan Qing to place bets shook their heads instantly and took back their bet money.
On the gambling table, there was originally a mountain of silver, but in a moment only Yan Qing's own money was left.
Yan Qing was suddenly surprised.
She grabbed a person beside her and asked in a low voice, "Sir, is this Madam Gongsun very powerful?"
"It's more than just amazing, it's terrifying!"
The man murmured, "Do you know who the most formidable of the Twelve Lanes is? It's Gongsun Zhi from the Fugui Gambling House!"
"As everyone knows, the three major gambling houses in the Twelve Districts, Changle, Anbao, and Fugui, have noble backers behind them. Only the owner of Fugui started from scratch, relying on his superb gambling skills and knife throwing to gain a firm foothold in the Twelve Districts!"
The others nodded in agreement. "Both Changle and Anbao wanted to take over Fugui Casino, but Gongsun Zhi stood up and threatened that if anyone could defeat her, she would give Fugui Casino to them."
"I still remember that battle..."
"Both parties staked their lives and the gambling house. Gongsun Zhi single-handedly challenged dozens of dealers at Changle Anbao, gambling for three days and three nights. In the end, even the pants of the two shopkeepers, Changle and Anbao, were stripped off. The loss was horrific..."
Yan Qing opened his eyes wide in surprise.
One man challenged two gambling houses, Changle and Anbao, and actually won?
She remembered what Gu Huaizhou had told her in the carriage: the Changle Casino was backed by the King of Qi, while the Anbao Casino was the property of the King of Li. She couldn't help but ask, "Madam Gongsun, aren't you afraid of offending the nobles behind Changle and Anbao?"
"That's why I say Gongsun Zhi is so powerful~"
An old man stroked his beard and sighed, "Gongsun Zhi crushed Changle and Anbao, but he didn't collect gambling money. Instead, he signed a contract with the two families, and from then on, they kept their distance. This is how the three major gambling houses in the Twelve Districts came into being."
"And from then on, the Fugui Casino established a rule: if anyone could win against Gongsun Zhi, she would give herself and the Fugui Casino to that person..."
Yan Qing suddenly realized.
So this is the rule Gongsun Zhi was talking about.
I think Gu Huaizhou knew the rule, so he said he would help her win the Fugui Casino.
She thought for a moment and then asked, "What if I lose?"
"If you lose, you will die~"
The man pointed at the flying knife on Gongsun Zhi's waist and said, "See that flying knife on that woman's waist? If you lose, her flying knife will take your life. No one can escape it."
Everyone shook their heads and looked at Yan Qing and Gu Huaizhou with sympathy.
It was as if they were already dead.
Yan Qing's heart tightened. He didn't expect that he would die here if he lost. It would be better not to own this gambling house.
She suddenly looked at Gu Huaizhou: "Cousin, I don't..."
"Qingqing is not afraid."
Gu Huaizhou gave her a reassuring look.
Yan Qing then realized that the man's way of addressing her had changed, and his tone seemed to be full of doting, as if he was treating a child. Her ears turned slightly red, but she didn't know what to say in such a crowded place.
Gongsun Zhi asked impatiently, "Are you going to gamble or not?"
"bet."
Gu Huaizhou looked at her indifferently: "But the one betting with you is not me, but her."
The man looked at Yan Qing gently.
The voice brooked no argument: "If she wins, you will serve her as your master from now on. If she loses, I will give you my life."
Yan Qing was stunned.
What is Gu Huaizhou talking about?
She lost, and he gave his life to Gongsun Zhi. Was he gambling his life for her?
Gongsun Zhi looked at Gu Huaizhou, then at Yan Qing, and finally nodded: "Okay, if she loses, I will take your life!"
"She won't lose."
The man's expression remained unchanged, as if he was not worried about his life at all.
Yan Qing was filled with panic.
"cousin……"
"let's start."
Yan Qing wanted to persuade Gu Huaizhou, but Gongsun Zhi interrupted her and ordered someone to bring another dice cup.
Gu Huaizhou picked up the dice cup and put it into Yan Qing's hand.
Yan Qing only felt it was hot.
She never thought that things would turn out like this. She just wanted to take a shortcut by relying on Gu Huaizhou, but she didn't expect that she would have to gamble with her life in the end.
What is being gambled is the life of the future emperor of Dayong.
Over there, Gongsun Zhi had already picked up the dice cup and started shaking it.
The tinkling sound of the dice hitting the cup box made Yan Qing very nervous.
Is Gu Huaizhou crazy?
What should she do if she doesn't know how to roll the dice?
Even though he was nervous, Yan Qing did not show it on his face, but was anxiously looking for a solution in his mind.
Gu Huaizhou must not be allowed to die at the hands of Gongsun Zhi!
However, although she controlled her thoughts, her hands began to shake uncontrollably, and she could hardly hold the black dice box.
Seeing Yan Qing not moving, the crowd urged him, "Shake it! Shake it faster! What are you doing standing there?"
"Since you've come to challenge Gongsun Zhi, you must be prepared to die. What's the point of being afraid now?"
"Shake it quickly! It's been a while since I saw Madam Gongsun kill someone..."
"Hahahaha, I don't know where this idiot got his life..."
Listening to the life-threatening sounds around her, Yan Qing's hands trembled even more. She could compete with others in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she could also make plans and gamble with others, but she was not good at gambling!
This is totally out of her league!
Just when Yan Qing was so nervous that she couldn't hold the dice cup, Gu Huaizhou suddenly reached out and caught the dice cup.
"Qingqing, don't be afraid."
He pressed the dice cup back into her hands.
He held Yan Qing's hands with both hands and pressed them on the dice cup, and whispered in her ear: "Trust me."
"But, but I can't..."
"I teach you."
The man held her hands and shook them gently.
Yan Qing was still nervous at first, but with the rhythmic sound of the dice hitting each other in the cup, her heart gradually calmed down.
He was a leader who emerged from the Five Rebellions in his previous life and was an emperor that all officials feared and submitted to.
Gu Huaizhou said he believed him.
Then she would believe it once!
Thinking of this, Yan Qing's tense mind slowly relaxed.
The hands holding the dice cup were initially controlled by Gu Huaizhou to shake, but gradually he felt the strength and rhythm of Gu Huaizhou's palm and took the initiative to shake it.
"Right, that is it……"
Gu Huaizhou looked at the woman's profile gently.
Qingqing learns everything very quickly. She is not a canary in a cage, but an eagle soaring in the sky.
It was Lu Qiaonan who delayed her.
"Boom!"
Gongsun Zhi slammed the dice cup on the table.
She looked at Gu Huaizhou expressionlessly: "Open the cup."
