"Your master?" Yan Li turned around and saw a forty-something-year-old man standing at the entrance of the restaurant.
"Gambling King Li Wanzhou," the man said with a smile.
"Who do you think you are?" Yan Li said angrily. "Li Wanzhou thinks too highly of himself. Hurry and call him out to see me."
"Black Mountain isn't always so lively," the man said with a smile. "There are too many people who don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. They can't get out, but they can't die, so they can only set up a stall on the street to make themselves feel less empty."
The owner of the noodle stall looked over expressionlessly, the corners of his mouth twitching. It was hard to tell whether he was laughing or crying.
"Haha!" Yan Li laughed loudly. "Then let me show you who is the one who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Guards, capture this dog slave for me. "
Ma Guanshan saw that the other three guards weren't moving. Helpless, he could only rush up and capture the man.
The man clearly hadn't expected this. Only when his arm was twisted did he come to his senses. Frowning, he asked, "Does Young Master Tang know where this place is?"
Yan Li put down his raised hand again.
"It seems you know." The man smiled faintly.
Yan Li smiled wickedly. "This young master doesn't want to know where this place is, but you, dog slave, have reminded me. With my status, beating you will only dirty my hands. Even among my subordinates, the only one who can barely match you is a carriage driver. Li Jiu, you do it. Give him two slaps …"
Li Jiu was Li Yong's alias. In reality, no one had called him by this name in the past few days, so Li Yong didn't immediately react. When he did, he immediately flew into a rage.
Slap!
To everyone's astonishment, Yan Li actually raised his hand and slapped Li Yong. "A mere carriage driver dares to glare at me? Hurry up and do it! "
This slap not only caused Li Yong's eyes to turn red, but it also caused cracks to appear in the already unstable vanguard army.
In Ma Guanshan's eyes, Yan Li was clearly using this opportunity to humiliate Li Yong. In a situation where death was almost certain, he was still acting on impulse. Could this person really take on such a great responsibility?
Once a seed of doubt germinated, it would quickly grow into a towering tree.
Li Yong's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. "I will definitely kill you! I will definitely kill you! "Of course, his patience was admirable, but it was just a silent warning of his revenge. In the end, he still made his move.
"You dare to hit me?"
The sore and numb pain stimulated the man's nerves. "Do you know who I am? Do you know what this place is? "
Pa pa!
Li Yong was irritated by his words and slapped him twice more.
The man roared hysterically as if he had gone mad, "This is Black Mountain, how dare you hit me! How dare you hit me! "
"Let go." Right at this moment, an emotionless voice was heard. A group of people dressed in grey and white robes and wearing masks with long tongues rushed over and surrounded Yan Li's group. They looked like the White Impermanence.
"The owner has released the dog. Let's see if he still dares to disrespect me." Yan Li sneered.
"Tang Li, do you dare to make a bet with me first?!" The man was released, and he stared at Yan Li, feeling like he was in a mess.
Gamblers were most afraid of losing their cool.
"Alright, before Li Wanzhou comes, I will play with you first."
After entering the restaurant, it was very clean, but the strange thing was that there was not a single waiter or shopkeeper.
In a private room on the second floor, Yan Li casually sat down. "How do we play?"
A dice Gu appeared in the man's hand, and when he opened it, he saw three dice. He placed the dice Gu on the table. "Shake it once, the one with the most points wins."
"What's the bet?" Yan Li sneered. "I understand that you are a slave with no money, so I won't bully you. Let's bet ten thousand taels."
The man laughed softly: "Five thousand."
"What? You don't even have ten thousand? " Yan Li's mockery became even more intense, "Li Wanzhou is the king of gambling, as his slave, you can't even take out ten thousand taels, and that is only the pocket money of my guards."
"I said fifty million."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
Yan Li stared blankly, and then said in disdain, "Do you have money?"
The man threw a token on the table. "This token represents the king of gambling, he can take out fifty million from Dayuan Casino at any time."
"You said fifty million, so it's fifty million?"
"I can bear witness." At this moment, a charming voice came from outside the door. Lan Xiang slowly walked in.
"Greetings, madam." The man immediately bowed.
Lan Xiang nodded slightly, indicating that he did not need to be so polite.
"So it's beauty Lan Xiang." Yan Li stared at her chest lecherously, "Since there's a beauty to testify, then come."
"Young master Tang, please." The man handed the dice Gu to Yan Li.
Yan Li casually shook it a few times, and then put it down, looking very amateurish. He then opened the dice and looked at the points, and immediately sneered: "It seems that I am going to win again. Four, six, six, sixteen points, it's your turn."
"Is that so?" The man sneered, and picked up the dice. He casually shook it a few times like Yan Li, but his movements were much smoother. He then opened the dice, and to his surprise, it was "Six, six, eighteen points".
"You lost." The man's gaze was filled with resentment, "You want to challenge the gambling king with this little ability? Stop dreaming!"
"Again!" Yan Li's expression was gloomy.
"We'll talk after you pay fifty million." The man laughed heartily.
"What are you waiting for, give him the money!" Yan Li's gaze was sharp, and he glared at Li Yong.
Being a coachman was quite tiring. Other than driving the carriage, he also had to carry a bag. All the gold notes were in Li Yong's bag.
Li Yong was very straightforward this time, and took out fifty million and gave it to the man.
"Again!"
"Wait." Lan Xiang suddenly said, "The Gambling King ordered the housekeeper to welcome you, and did not allow him to gamble with you. Young Master Tang, you should take a rest. Tonight, at the same restaurant, the Gambling King will decide the winner with you."
Yan Li said coldly, "When this young master wins the title of Gambling King, I will take back the fifty million from you. Keep it safe for me!" He flicked his sleeves and left.
"I'm afraid you won't have the chance." The man was in a good mood, and decided to go to the Phoenix Brothel to calm down.
The wine and women of the Phoenix Brothel were their greatest sustenance in the Black Mountain.
…
Yan Li booked a large courtyard in the restaurant. As the "owner", he naturally stayed in the master bedroom.
In the master bedroom, everyone had gathered. The atmosphere was very tense, and it could be said that a fight could break out at any moment.
Li Yong's hand grabbed Yan Li's collar, and Shen Liuyun's jade-like hands formed a seal. The Seven Wonders Pendant hovered above Li Yong's head, and if he made any strange movements, it would strike like lightning.
Chang Shan stood at the outermost edge, a playful look in his eyes.
Yue-er was on the bed, playing with a doll.
Ma Guanshan sat on a chair by the side, his eyes cold.
Ye Qing frowned, and no one knew what she was thinking.
Tang Sanghua looked at Yan Li, trying to find some hidden information from his face.
Lianhai Changjin smiled bitterly, "Lord Commander, Brother Yan was just acting. He definitely didn't do it on purpose."
"Lianhai, oh Lianhai, you really are a good person." Ma Guanshan said sarcastically, "Since we are already in the Black Mountain, it doesn't matter if we act or not. Perhaps the Black Mountain already knew our identities."
"What, you don't want to exchange your life for mine?" Yan Li said with a smile, "As the great Commander of the Judicial Department, you don't even have this little bit of courage. It really surprises me."
"I will grant you your wish!" Li Yong's eyes were vicious. His left sleeve shook, and the Bejeweled Weapon stabbed upwards like a poisonous snake, aiming for Yan Li's throat.
Yan Li didn't move.
The Seven Wonders Pendant shone brightly, and suddenly fell on Yan Li's neck.
"Ding!"
With a crisp sound, the fatal strike was blocked by the Seven Wonders Pendant. The True Qi attached to the pendant, together with the Bejeweled Weapon's own characteristics, produced a violent rebound force.
Li Yong's pupils suddenly shrank, and just as he raised his hands to block, he was bounced away by a tremendous force, smashing through the door and falling in the yard. His Qi and blood surged, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, then stared at Shen Liuyun.
"Mister!" Lianhai Changjin said in surprise.
Shen Liuyun put away the Seven Wonders Pendant, and without looking at Li Yong, said, "I admit that Lord Li's concerns are reasonable, but as long as Yan Li doesn't betray us, no one can hurt him."
"Good!" Li Yong said resentfully, "I will remember!" After saying this, he jumped into the boundless night and disappeared.
Li Yong's departure made everyone feel even more uneasy. There weren't many experts, and Yan Li had forced one away. It was like digging his own grave.
"Brother Yan, is there a need to provoke the commander?" Even a good-tempered person like Lianhai Changjin was somewhat angry, "How can we help you like this? Just what are you thinking? "
Ye Qing also couldn't help but say, "We haven't even met the Gambling King yet, and we've already lost fifty million. This is already a bad start. Yan Li, is it difficult for you to tell us in advance what your plans are? "
"I give the orders, and you all follow them. Our relationship is just that. Also, I won the fifty million, and how I use it is my business, "Yan Li said coldly.
"You don't know what's good for you!" Ye Qing's eyebrows jumped.
"Let's go. If we follow him, we'll die sooner or later. We might as well go find Ghost Thirteen ourselves." Ma Guanshan didn't even look at Yan Li, and directly left.
"Ai!" Lianhai Changjin shook her head in disappointment, and also left.
Ye Qing walked to the side of the bed, "Yue 'er, come with big sister. It's not safe to stay here."
"Okay, okay." Yue 'er wrapped her arms around Ye Qing's neck, and let her carry her.
Ye Qing hesitated for a moment, then asked Tang Sanghua, "What about you? Aren't you leaving?"
"Don't be fooled by appearances." Tang Sanghua smiled at her, "Take the little girl and leave. Be careful."
Ye Qing was startled, then nodded, and carried Yue 'er out.
"I'm not in a good mood." Shen Liuyun suddenly raised his hand, and swept Yan Li away.
Yan Li slammed into the wall, and it was really miserable.
Shen Liuyun felt a little better, but still maintained a cold expression, "I'm going back to my room. If you remember something you forgot to tell me, don't come looking for me, I don't want to know." With that, he left.
Tang Sanghua gloated, "I'm going back to my room too."
"Yan Li, it seems that Instructor Shen completely hates you." Chang Shan secretly rejoiced, but on the surface, he sighed, "I know you have a grudge with Commander Li, but this is not the time to act up."
"They're all gone. Aren't you leaving?" Yan Li sat up, and cracked his neck.
Chang Shan faked a cough, and said, "This is Black Mountain. It's safer to stay with Instructor Shen."
"Instructor Chang, do you still remember our bet?" Yan Li suddenly asked.
"Bet?" Chang Shan was startled, and then came to a realization, "You mean that time at the Resentful Yuan House?"
"That's right."
"I lost that time, and you really did survive." Chang Shan shrugged, "I lost the bet. What did you say you wanted from me?"
