Chapter 5

Wei Xiu saw Feng Yi again, half a month later, and he was quite surprised when he heard the knock on the door, because apart from three meals a day and water delivery, very few people would take the initiative to come to him.

Opening the door, seeing Feng Yi standing outside, Wei Xiu smiled and said, "Brother Feng is back from work?"

"Well, the matter has been finished, and I will go to the Lord to return to my life later." Feng Yi took out the breastplate and handed it back to Wei Xiu: "Thank you this time, I owe you my life."

Wei Xiu put the protective mirror back into his bosom, waved his hand: "It's just a little effort, they are all my brothers, so don't be so polite."

Feng Yi still didn't know how to resist Wei Xiu's familiar appearance, so he had to silently write down his kindness, and turned around to go to the suzerain to return his life.

"I'll be with you." Wei Xiu took two quick steps to catch up with him: "I've grown mushrooms from staying in the room all day, why don't we join in the fun."

Hua Yu saw Feng Yi and Wei Xiu coming in together, he looked at Wei Xiu: "something"

Wei Xiu shook his head and said, "I'm bored every day, I want to see if there's anything I can do to help?"

Hua Yu didn't object, he pointed to the chair next to him, motioned for the two to sit down, then turned around and asked Feng Yi, "Is everything going well?"

Feng Yi took out the prepared records: "These people are still alive, and their status is not low. It sounds like the fight went smoothly."

Hua Yu took the record and asked, "Did you encounter any danger?"

"I did encounter one time when my subordinate was pretending to be a businessman selling spirit stones. When I came into contact with a black market controlled by Liu Xi's subordinates, the other party saw that I had no background, so he wanted to kill people and sell goods. In the black market, he arranged a secret repair shop Because of the woman who wanted to sneak attack me, the subordinates relaxed their vigilance for a while, and almost caught them off guard. Fortunately, the heart guard given by Mr. Wei saved the subordinate's life. They saw that the sneak attack would not work, and several people appeared around Individuals came to attack, but my movement was faster, those people failed to catch up." Feng Yi briefly explained what happened.

Hua Yu nodded: "You have worked hard this time, go back and rest first."

Seal together and leave.Wei Xiuxiu was about to leave, but Hua Yu signaled him to wait.

"Wei Xiu, your fortune-telling skills are really good," Hua Yu said.

Hearing his sweetheart's praise, Wei Xiu's ears turned red with excitement, but he said modestly: "What kind of skill am I? You must come back whole."

"The father of the three Feng family brothers is my father's best brother. Unfortunately, Uncle Feng passed away very early in a martial arts struggle in Xuxuhai. The three brothers have followed me for 30 years, and I regard them as relatives." Hua Yu The voice is low and gentle.

It was the first time Wei Xiu saw Hua Yu showing such a soft and sensual side, and his eyes widened for a moment.

"I really need you to help me stabilize the injury on my soul, so I keep you here. But I can't figure out why you don't seem to resist at all, but seem to enjoy it. I have always been on guard against you, suspecting that you are You have ulterior motives. But you have been willing to help me heal my wounds and even saved Feng Yi. I don’t want to guard against you anymore, you can come and go freely in the future, but for safety, I will send someone to follow you, is that okay.”

Wei Xiu thought: I just have ulterior motives, I am approaching you with all my heart, to win your favor, and try every means to make you like me.Hey, I'm such a scheming little fairy.However, Wei Xiu felt very happy to be able to go out, and immediately revealed two sweet dimples and said, "Someone protects me, and I wish I could go out with me." After thinking about it, Wei Xiu added, "I've been following you all the time." There is indeed my purpose, but you don’t have to worry, I have no malicious intentions, and I will not delay your revenge. Well... When you finish your revenge, I will tell you my purpose. "

"Okay." Hua Yu nodded. "We will discuss plans in the future. If you want, you can also participate. Your hunch is very helpful to us."

"En." Wei Xiu nodded vigorously, his heart was like fireworks exploding, and he felt that he had taken a big step closer to catching up with his daughter-in-law (lao) wife (gong).

So when discussing matters in the lobby in the afternoon, the others were surprised to see Wei Xiu happily moving a small bench and sitting next to his lord.

Hua Yu, however, installed sound insulation in the lobby as if nothing had happened, and took out the information he had found and passed it on to the people below: "From the records taken from the Star Observatory, there are a total of six targets, Yue Zhige, Liu Xi, Yang Fengwei, Bao Mingyue, Beiqiu, and Mu Xiao. I need to capture these people alive."

Feng San opened his mouth first: "My lord, I suggest that Mu Xiao stay still for the time being. Bao Mingyue is now the secretary of the Ministry of punishment, Beiqiu is the commander of the imperial army, and Yang Fengwei has entered the cabinet. After a more detailed investigation, Liu Xi, the head of the big house, was left. He controlled a black market in the Imperial City. Feng Yi had already contacted it, so he could approach it from here. They like to do the business of killing people and stealing goods, so they must have made a lot of enemies, but Because of Liu Xi's background, I dare not retaliate."

One letter, two letters, three brothers, each with different personalities and abilities, Feng Yi is calm and good at commanding and coordinating;Feng San opened his mouth at this moment, thinking that he already had a plan in mind.Hua Yu nodded: "Go ahead."

Feng San continued: "Why don't I let my eldest brother continue to pretend to be a spirit stone merchant, and contact those merchants who have been tricked by Liu Xi as a bitter master. People who can attract Liu Xi's attention have some strength in the imperial city. Let's unite and make trouble in the black market while Liu Xiren is in the black market. It's not a big problem. When we take advantage of the chaos to rob people, even if we investigate it, it will only be a business dispute, and we won't think about the old things."

Ziyue straightened her long hair, and said slowly: "It's a good idea, but how can you be sure that those businessmen are willing to cooperate with us? If it doesn't work out, those businessmen who caused trouble will definitely be retaliated by Liu Xi. Taking this risk, they Dare?"

Feng San raised a confident smile: "Why is this so difficult? For businessmen, as long as the interests are sufficient, they dare to take any risk. Tell them, our purpose is to grab control of the black market from Liu Xi, as long as they If people don't participate, they can get a certain booth in the black market to sell their own goods in the future, and we don't take any commission, and they only need to create chaos in the black market, and they don't need to do anything, even if things don't work out, they will be retaliated , Liu Xi must also take revenge on us first. Such a low-risk and high-yield thing, a fool will refuse."

"I'm afraid the one who agrees is a fool." A chuckle came from the corner. "Liu Xi, an eunuch who reached out to the black market in the imperial city with such a long hand, said that Mu Xiao didn't know, I don't believe it. Mu Xiao has started to build his own mausoleum these years. The war in northern Xinjiang is tight, and the money from the household department is difficult to get. I think Mu Xiao is probably the big boss hiding behind the scenes, and most of the proceeds from the black market go into his own pocket. When the time comes, you rob people and run away, the black market becomes a mess, and the majestic chief executive disappears in the black market, even if Mu Xiao is For the sake of face, the black market will also be shut down, Mu Xiao has suffered such a big loss, and he will definitely not let anyone who made trouble that day."

Everyone looked at the corner, the person who spoke had a name but no surname, those who were familiar with him called him A Heng, those who were unfamiliar or those with a slightly lower status called him Mr. Heng.

"Ah Heng thinks Feng San is paying attention?" Hua Yu asked.

"It is feasible. But it will still cause suspicion. Since it is said that it is to seize control of the black market, but the robbing of Liu Xi did not threaten him to control the black market, but disappeared without a trace. If I were Emperor Mu, I would have guessed it. These people came after Liu Xi in the name of the black market."

"Then, what do you mean by Mr. Feng San?" Feng San asked humbly.

"First check the evidence of Emperor Mu's control of the black market. If you can't find it, you can forge some. After robbing people, release all the evidence immediately, and spread the news in the capital, saying that the master behind the black market is Emperor Mu. In this way, Emperor Mu will definitely think it is." After Liu Xi was arrested, he leaked the news in order to protect himself. And our people can logically pretend to be afraid of Emperor Mu's revenge and flee in a hurry."

"But at this time, Emperor Mu will not give up the search, because Liu Xi, as the person who serves him personally, knows too many secrets about him, and he will definitely try his best to find Liu Xi. We must see people in life, and corpses in death. Why don't you get a charred corpse, put it on Liu Xi's clothes and put it in the residence, and light it on fire when you escape, and pretend that you are already burned to death?" Feng San asked again.

Ah Heng smiled and shook his head: "No, just let them come to find it. Liu Xi is a very useful bait. If Liu Xi falls into the hands of others, Mu Xiao is worried. Whether it is us or other courts Central forces. I guess he will probably hand over this matter to Bei Qiu, and as long as Bei Qiu leaves the imperial city, he will become a fish for us to take the bait."

"What a kill two birds with one stone." Ziyue clapped her hands in praise, "As expected of Mr. Heng."

"According to this plan." Hua Yu nodded: "Feng Er's Hidden Star Department is the old Hua family's old department, and it is not suitable to show up in the capital. The killer of the Meteor Department is left behind by the blood hand, and half of the Phantom Star Department is left to support. Command, Feng San assists."

"What about the others?" Ziyue couldn't help asking.

"I just received news from the Observatory of Stars that Yue Zhige likes to gamble, and he has to go to Xihai City to gamble once a year, and recently, he happened to be there." Hua Yu's mouth curled up with a dangerous arc: "Xihai City is located in a remote place. , is a gathering place for gamblers and criminals, and it is also the area of ​​strength of the demon clan, and Emperor Mu's control over there is extremely weak, so this is our opportunity."

"Gambling? I'm good at it." Wei Xiu, who was listening drowsily, suddenly regained his energy: "Take me, take me, I have a way to get you back, and I promise not to arouse suspicion?"

"You? You don't even have cultivation, what can you do?" The bloody hand sneered.He has always been displeased with this child who is by the Lord's side. He doesn't practice or work every day. He really doesn't understand what the Lord is raising a waste.

Wei Xiu ignored him, blinked at Hua Yu mysteriously and said: "The secret must not be revealed, my lord, I need Elder Ziyue to help me, you can find a different courtyard in Xihai City that is easy to leave, and wait for my news." good."

"Don't help you take a bath again." Ziyue still remembered the original hatred and resisted.

"How could it be? The amulet that senior brother gave me is enough for me for a year." Afraid that Ziyue might be worried, Wei Xiu took out a large stack of amulets and shook them.

Everyone twitched their mouths, thinking that if Wei Xiu was born in an ordinary family, he must be a dandy who does not learn countless things all day long.

"The plan to capture Yue Zhige will be discussed on the way. Feng Er and the Hidden Star Department will stay here to guard and continue to collect information, and take care of Feng Yi. The rest will pack up and leave tomorrow." Hua Yu said, ending the discussion.

Wei Xiu paid attention to Hua Yu's expression, and guessed that the soul power he assigned to Hua Yu should have been used up, so he quickly followed.

"Is it hurting again?" Wei Xiu followed Hua Yu into the main house.

Hua Yu didn't make a sound, raised his hand to take off the mask, rubbed his temple with his index finger, and frowned slightly, as if he was enduring something.

Wei Xiu hurriedly spent some soul power for him: "Has the pain worsened recently? It shouldn't be. Didn't Ah Xiang say it can be cured last time? Could it be that my method of performing the surgery is wrong?"

"I don't blame you." Hua Yu's expression improved a little after the soul power was spent, and he leaned back on the chair tiredly: "Recently, my spiritual power has accelerated on its own, and my realm has entered the late stage of Hinayana, and the soul rift has also followed. It's increased."

"You..." Wei Xiu wanted to persuade him to stop cultivating and have a good rest, but in the end he just sighed and didn't say much.As we all know, the Mu royal family has a secret method that can make puppets that are at the peak of the Hinayana stage. Although the production of this kind of puppets is extremely costly, they have independent fighting consciousness, and are not afraid of death or pain. They are extremely powerful and completely obey their masters. .Therefore, every generation of Mu's monarch will spend a lot of money to make such a puppet and keep it by his side.If it wasn't because the puppets were too strong and they could only control one at a time, they would probably have to make more puppets.Although Hua Yu knew that death was behind the peak of Hinayana, he still practiced desperately because he knew that he would face this puppet sooner or later.

The streets of Xihai City are very lively, women in brothels are boldly and revealingly dressed to solicit customers on the street, boys in gambling houses are shouting loudly to solicit business, and people who win money exaggerately show off their achievements, generously Splurging in restaurants and brothels, those who lost money cursed bad luck, the dealer was unkind, and used food, wine, and beauties to soothe their wounded hearts.

In the crowd, a girl in a long white dress looked at all this with a curious expression. Her gorgeous appearance contained a trace of innocence that disturbed the world. Her pair of black water eyes that were as bright as a deer looked around nimbly. She suddenly raised her lips. The corner of her face seemed to have seen something interesting, revealing two dimples, three points innocent and seven points charming, which aroused many people's evil thoughts.As if she didn't notice it herself, she hopped into a gambling house.

The more a person sinks into sin, the easier it is to be attracted by pure beauty. The appearance of a young girl is a fatal temptation for many people in the city.If it weren't for Xihai City's rules that no use of force is allowed in the city, and the city lord is a Hinayana monk whose spiritual consciousness covers the whole city all the time, this girl would have been eaten alive by those gambling criminals long ago.

"Is it the first time for my little sister to play in the casino? Do you need my brother to take you?" As soon as the girl entered the casino, a few men immediately surrounded her, their eyes flicking back and forth on the girl.

"Come with me, little sister. I know this gambling house very well. What do you want to play? Brother, please." A green robe with rusty gold thread on the upper body, top-quality spiritual jade hanging on the waist, rings on the hands, and I am written all over the body. The rich, greasy middle-aged man squeezed in front of the girl.

"No need, I've brought money." The girl raised the purse in her hand, and there were several spirit stones jingling inside.

The middle-aged man glanced at it, and a novice with that point of Lingshi could lose it all in half an hour: "Okay, then you play for a while, and if you don't have enough money later, you can come to see brother." The middle-aged man smiled wretchedly. , and winked at the girl.

Wei Xiu, who was dressed as a girl, resisted the desire to vomit, and smiled at the man: "It won't be enough."

Wei Xiu's make-up is the masterpiece of Ziyue. Wei Xiu has a baby face, but after putting on female makeup, she looks smaller. His appearance became glamorous, combined with his own innocence and childishness, even Ziyue, who put on makeup for him, was amazed.Immediately pinching his chin, he proudly said: "Judging from Yue Zhige's preferences when he took concubines and went to brothels, what he likes the most is your current pure and beautiful type. If this face doesn't fascinate you The one surnamed Yue, I will use it as a humanoid cleaning talisman for you in the future."

Wei Xiu looked around, and sure enough, he saw Yue Zhige in a crowded gambling hall.Wei Xiu didn't rush over, but tried every game without slowing down, and the spirit stones in his hand changed from a small bag just now to a big bag full.The men nearby who had been watching him couldn't help but lament how lucky the novice was.

The game Yue Zhige is playing is called 36 points. There are a total of six dice. The dealer rolls them and puts them on the table. Players not only have to bet on the total number, but also guess the number of points on each dice.The initial bet is a spirit stone, and the dice are rolled out one by one. You can raise the bet every time it is drawn. The minimum unit for raising is also a spirit stone.The person who stays at the end has the closest number of guesses, and if they are the same, they will have more dice than whoever guesses correctly.The winner takes away all the spirit stones on the table except the dealer's commission.In order to prevent cultivators from cheating by using their cultivation bases, the dice-rolling cup is specially added with the isolation technique to isolate the sound of the spiritual consciousness.

"Wow, this seems very interesting." Wei Xiu squeezed his way through the crowd and got to the table, barely standing two or three people away from Yue Zhige.The game on the table has reached the fourth dice roll, and the number of spirit stones has been increased to 37, and there are more than 200 spirit stones on the entire table.There are two other people on the table besides Yue Zhige, a thin old man who doesn't look rich in clothes, his eyes are already red, staring at the table, and the other is a young man who looks like a rich man, nonchalantly Throwing the Lingshi in his hand.Yue Zhige looked between middle-aged and young, with broad shoulders and long legs, thick eyebrows and big eyes, his appearance could be considered heroic.Wei Xiu looked at the game, and Yue Zhige's bets from big to small were six, six, five, four, two, one, a total of 24 points.The old man bet six, six, six, four, three, two, a total of 27 points.Youth bet six, six, four, four, two, one, a total of 23 points.The four dice that have been drawn so far are six, six, four, and two, and all three of them hit all of them.

"Five, five, five." "Three, three, three." "One, one, one." The people around each other coaxed each other, hoping to come up with a point that could determine the outcome.

The dealer opened the cup: "One point. Will the three continue to raise?"

The old man seemed to be exhausted all of his energy. If it was one point, no matter what time the next one was, it would not be the closest to his point.The old man said dejectedly, "Give up."

Yue Zhige took out a bag of spirit stones and threw them on the gaming table: "Refill your bet, one hundred."

The people around gasped. The upper limit for raising a game at 36 points was [-], but very few people refilled their bets. After all, [-] spirit stones were almost all the wealth of a casual cultivator in the foundation building period.With this money, you can buy a Nascent Soul-level attack talisman in the Guanxing Tower, or a pill that increases the chance of breaking through the golden core. It's a high-grade spirit sword.

The rich young master glanced at him, and nonchalantly took out a bag of spirit stones and threw them on the table: "Follow."

The dealer opened the last cup: "Six points, a total of 25 points, 24 points wins."

Yue Zhige squinted his eyes, showing a little complacent expression.The young master of the rich family frowned and clicked his tongue, muttered "really", then turned and left.

The dealer packed up the spirit stones on the table, packed Yue Zhige's and handed it to him, ready to start the next round of the game. "Bet, bet, buy and leave."

The onlookers were a little hesitant. There were sixteen rounds in the game today, Yue Zhige won five rounds by himself, and the others gave up very early.

"Are you very good, let's play?" A crisp and sweet voice sounded.

Yue Zhige turned his head to look, it was Wei Xiu who was dressed as a girl.Seeing the other party's gaze, Wei Xiu immediately showed a sweet smile, and then he noticed that Yue Zhige's eyes had changed, like a hungry wolf seeing meat.

Hungry Wolf also smiled at him, no matter how you looked at that smile, it seemed to have malicious intentions: "Just the two of us?"

Wei Xiu nodded, "It's just the two of us." Immediately there were booing whistles, mixed with some obscene jokes.

"Okay." Yue Zhige started to bet, and after choosing the points, he directly took out a hundred of the spirit stones he had won, rolled his eyes irregularly on Wei Xiu, and said, "Bet fully."

Wei Xiu also put the spirit stones in his hand on the table, no more, no less, exactly one hundred pieces: "Follow."

The full bet in the first round is ten, and the subsequent ones are twenty, forty, sixty, eighty, and one hundred.

Opening the cups one by one, Yue Zhige's expression was full of confidence.When the fourth one was opened, the total was three, two, five, five, and his points were exactly right.He has been immersed in gambling for many years, and his favorite game is 36 o'clock. Since he can't hear the dice because of the isolation of the sound, he practiced hard to observe and deduce his ability, from the points when the dealer puts the dice in, to the shaking action, and then to the falling time, He can almost guess the number clearly, and the difference is only one or two dice.In order not to be too strong and scare the opponent away, he deliberately lost a few rounds, but because he gave up early, he didn't lose many spirit stones.

The fifth cup opened: "Six o'clock."

Yue Zhige's expression remained unchanged: "Full bet." He had five, five, five, three, three, two in his hand, although he missed this one, but he guessed that the next one would be either four or two.The error of his points is only within two, and if it is two, his total points are exactly the same, and the difference is only two.

"Follow." Wei Xiu seemed to feel a little bored, and looked up at Yue Zhige: "It's not interesting to bet on Lingshi, why don't we place some other bets?"

"Then how about betting on yourself? If you lose, you will follow me?" Yue Zhige teased.

"Okay." Wei Xiu agreed nonchalantly, as if he didn't understand the deep meaning in his words. "What if you lose?"

"I'll go with you." Yue Zhige spread his hands like a rascal and said.

There were boos all around, this seemingly fair bet, when you think about it carefully, it seems that Yue Zhige took advantage of it, but the girl looked innocent and easy to deceive, foolishly throwing herself into the trap,

"Okay." Wei Xiu's smile deepened, and he happily showed two small canine teeth: "Don't go back on your word."

At that moment, Yue Zhige even wondered narcissistically, whether this girl was fascinated by him and sent her to her door on purpose.Under the witness of the banker, the two directly entered into a painstaking contract. The loser will follow the winner today. The scope is limited to Xihai City, and the one who breaks the contract will suffer heart-wrenching pain.

The last cup opened: "Two o'clock. Six, five, five, three, two, two, 23 o'clock."

Yue Zhige showed a winner's smile, and showed his points: five, five, five, three, three, two, exactly 23 o'clock, "It seems that you are leaving with me today."

"That's not likely." Wei Xiu showed his points: six, five, five, three, two, two, 23 points, all points.

"Congratulations." The dealer handed the spirit stone to Wei Xiu: "The contract has come into effect."

Yue Zhige looked at the points on the table in surprise, all hits, how could it be such a coincidence?He felt a little uneasy in his heart, but thinking that Xihai City does not allow fighting, and their contract does not allow them to leave the area of ​​​​Xihai City, he put his heart back into his stomach.When he found out that the girl in front of him was a mortal with no cultivation base, the last trace of worry was dispelled.Yue Zhige smiled gentlemanly: "I would like to admit defeat to the bet."

"Let's go." The girl hopped out of the casino with the spirit stone she won, and Yue Zhige obediently followed behind, wondering what she was thinking.
