There's something wrong with the lonely princess

"casino?"

Li Shengjing could only hear vague noises, but he couldn't hear any more. After thinking about it, he pulled Xie Yiyan's sleeve: "Let's go and have a look."

As he was about to get up, Xie Yiyan made him confused by such a sudden movement: "Go now?"

"Yes, right now, you can't sleep with such noise, just go to inquire about the news."

"I don't care, but Xiaojing, you need to rest." Xie Yiyan didn't move, not only didn't move, he also stopped Li Shengjing's movement: "I just drove a day in the daytime, how can I not sleep, I still sleep Well, if you want to see it, it’s not too late to see it tomorrow.”

"I don't want to wait." Li Shengjing tugged him again: "Did you hear this movement during the day? I suspect that if it's really a casino, it should only be open at night, so go and have a look now."

"Xiao Jing, why are you so impatient." Xie Yiyan wanted to persuade her, but she still couldn't persuade her: "Okay, okay, go now, it might be a little cold outside, bring a cloak."

Li Shengjing's legs hadn't fully healed yet, and it wasn't very convenient to move around. In addition, he was still going out at night, so Xie Yiyan was very careful to tell Chihu to be on standby in the dark before he dared to take Li Shengjing out.

After leaving the inn and walking to the street, the noise became more and more obvious. It was obviously a quiet and empty street, but there was a hidden sound of turmoil, which was very strange.

Xie Yiyan put one arm around Li Shengjing's waist, and put most of his weight on her body, before she led Xiaojing to search for the voice.

It doesn't matter if you look for it, it really made them find a good place.

"This is really a gold-selling cave." Xie Yiyan, who was standing at the intersection, was stunned.

When they came during the day, they didn't bother to go shopping at all. They first found the inn to settle down. After following the road, they found a brightly lit street hidden not far from the inn. It is quite extravagant. Looking at the whole street, people's first impression is that it is rich and magnificent. The signboard lanterns hanging on the door of every house are more colorful and ostentatious than the other. I have never seen such a luxurious land boundary.

It was an eye-opener for Xie Yiyan to yell.

"Tao City isn't a big place, is it?" Xie Yiyan went out of her way to confirm with Li Shengjing: "This is a third-level small town, and the annual tax revenue is only more than ten million taels. How can there be such a luxurious place? It’s too unbelievable.”

"I'm afraid there are more than one place like this." Li Shengjing's face was a little cold, and he lifted his chin to let Xie Yiyan look at the plaque hanging at the street entrance: "Did you see it? There is a small sign in the lower right corner, if I didn't guess it The mistake should be the serial number, there should be at least two more before the three marked on it."

"There are two more?" Xie Yiyan's jaw almost dropped in shock, and soon realized that there might be more than these three. If this is three, how many more are there after three?

"Taocheng isn't that big, is it?" Xie Yiyan swallowed, feeling a little nervous for some reason.

"The third-level jurisdiction covers an area of ​​more than a thousand hectares. It's not too big or small, and it's more than enough to have a few streets." Li Shengjing's face became colder, and before Xie Yan could take him, he wanted to go there by himself. He entered inside, but Xie Yiyan was frightened, and hurried to catch up: "Xiaojing, wait for me, don't walk so fast, your legs are not well yet, slow down."

The words of concern are spoken on the mouth, but they are mentioned in the heart.

He knew why Xiaojing reacted like this. Taocheng is just a small place. If such a small place has and not only one such gold selling cave, then there is really a big problem with this place. Rice?Or, have local officials been dragged into the water long ago?

The street of Selling Gold Grotto really opened Xie Yiyan's eyes. Walking all the way, almost every store was very lively. The most important point is that this street is full of gambling houses, without exception, all of them are gambling houses. , a whole street of gambling houses, how big is the game?

He was secretly startled when he saw a person thrown out of the door of a family.

The man was really thrown out, and he flew directly to the street. Xie Yiyan saw him vomit a mouthful of blood, and then a few thugs followed him, punched him, and beat him hard After a beating, I didn't know whether the man was dead or alive, so he just lay on the ground and didn't move.

Seeing this scene, Li Shengjing glanced at Xie Yiyan beside him, seeing that Xie Yiyan didn't respond, he moved him with his arm: "Aren't you going to take a look?"

"Look at what?"

"That person." Li Shengjing reminded again: "He was beaten badly, why don't you go and see?"

"Should I go to see it?" Xie Yiyan frowned: "Or Xiaojing, do you have anything to ask him? I think it's better to say goodbye, such a person can't ask anything at all, don't waste this time, He's just a walking dead."

"Hero Xie, don't you want to meet the injustice?" Li Shengjing laughed at him.

"It's not the same." Xie Yiyan's attitude was still serious: "I can't see Ping save the weak and innocent people who are oppressed. He is a gambler, can I spend my energy to save him?"

"Could it be that you are looking for someone to help with your sword?" Li Shengjing asked again.

Xie Yiyan asked back, "Why didn't you watch it?"

"You are a chivalrous man, of course you have to watch it." Li Shengjing didn't answer Xie Yiyan's question, nodded, but walked towards the person who was beaten.

Xie Yiyan was a little anxious, and hurried to catch up: "Xiaojing, you don't care what he does, that kind of person is a gambler, and it's not worth it."

"If I was just a passer-by, I wouldn't care about him, but I am not. He is a gambler, but a gambler is also a person. He is a citizen of Taocheng and Daxia. How can I watch him die here? ?” There was a trace of pity in Li Shengjing's eyes: "The gambler is at fault, but his fault will not lead to his death. You see, if I don't care about him, no one can care about him. He will die here tonight."

Li Shengjing walked towards the gambler step by step, but Xie Yiyan stayed where he was, obsessed.

He didn't understand what Li Shengjing meant at the beginning, but when he watched Li Shengjing walk over step by step, he realized it later, no matter if that person was a gambler, a drunkard, or any other identity, it would be fine. Li Shengjing would not allow this person to die here, he is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who is compassionate and compassionate, and he will become the emperor of Great Xia in the future. These people actually have only one identity in his eyes, and that is the people of Great Xia.

For a moment, he suddenly seemed to understand something, but it wasn't very clear. What flashed in his mind was what Li Shengjing once told him. It was that time Li Shengjing told him that if he wanted to leave in the future, he could promise to let him go free. , Whether to stay or not, Xie Yiyan didn't really understand what was going on at that time.

In his opinion, it was just a small matter like two people bickering and quarreling, but now he suddenly realized that it was not.

Just like what Xiaojing said just now, if he was just an ordinary passerby, he would not care about such a gambler even if he died on the road, but he is not, he is not just Li Shengjing, or in other words, Li Shengjing is not just A person is more of an identity. Under this identity, there must be many things that he must do. It is even possible that this matter will be completely opposite to Xie Yiyan's choice, and there will be various conflicts and differences between the two of them. At that time, even if Li Shengjing thought the same as him in his heart, because of such an identity, he had to make another completely different choice.

Xie Yiyan looked at Li Shengjing's back, clenched her fists, and then chased after Li Shengjing with strides. Before Li Shengjing could bend down, she helped the person on the ground up. One of the fingers should have been cut off just now, and it was still dripping with blood, and the smell of blood was a bit offensive.

"Stay back, Xiaojing, and don't get blood on your body."

"Let him be handed over to Chihu to find a medical clinic." Li Shengjing did not go forward as promised, but said to Xie Yiyan: "Come with me, let's go in and have a look."

Xie Yiyan thought that Li Shengjing would personally send the person to the hospital for treatment, or maybe take him to an inn or something, but he didn't expect that Li Shengjing didn't do that. Zhu Yiwei came to take the person away, but Li Shengjing didn't ask any more questions. Holding Xie Yiyan's arm, she entered the casino behind her.

Just now, the behavior of the two of them at the door has been seen by the people in the gambling house. Now that they go in, someone naturally greets them. The mustache is holding a fan in his hand, and those who are behind are the previous few. The thug, the mustache looked the two of them up and down, and then said with a smirk: "The two young masters are unfamiliar, why are you planning to meddle in other people's business?"

"No, just pass by and join in the fun." Li Shengjing smiled and looked very kindly: "But I believe in Buddhism, saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, and if I offend you, look at Haihan."

"Don't offend, don't offend, it's bad luck for people to die at our door, but we should thank you, young master." Bazihu ​​put away his fan and introduced himself: "Under Hu San, he is the manager of this casino, and young master is here to watch the fun Yes, or do you want to join in the fun?"

"I don't care, my brother likes this, he wants to join in the fun." Li Shengjing held Xie Yiyan's hand, and quietly exerted a little effort: "For me, just take a look."

Xie Yiyan was pinched suddenly, his attention was still on the brother Li Shengjing was talking about, and he didn't react at all. After being pinched by Li Shengjing, he suddenly realized that it was him who called brother.

"Why am I your brother?"

That Hu San is also a smart person, quite discerning, seeing that the two people are very close in action, he knew what was going on, and immediately smiled and helped: "Hello brother, dear brother, I don't know what to call you two?"

"Xie Jing, my brother Xie Zi'an." Li Shengjing gave a false name, and asked casually: "We are returning to our hometown to visit relatives, passing by Guibao Land, so we don't know what's interesting?"

"Then what do you two want to play? Come in and have a look, we have a lot of tricks here, do you want to play some traditional ones, or look at rare ones?" Hu San called a maid and came over with a stack of chips: "How much do you two plan to play first? For the sake of the two helping to collect the corpses just now, no matter how much you play today, someone from me will give you [-]%, how about it?"

"Master Hu, you're welcome." Li Shengjing took off Xie Yanxin's newly packed purse, and handed it to the maid: "Miss, please count and change them all."

The maid opened it, and there was a pile of bank notes inside. Before they started counting, the Xie Yiyan beside Li Shengjing was a little anxious: "Then the purse contains..."

"Why do you still think it's too little?" Li Shengjing interrupted Xie Yiyan's words, with a look of helplessness: "But try your luck, it's not good to play too much when you come up, forget it, I came here in a hurry, I didn't bring any With so much cash, I still have a jade pendant here, Mr. Hu counts it according to the situation, let's exchange it together."

Xie Yiyan didn't even catch her breath, and Li Shengjing grabbed her arm. She glanced at him, and it was clear that he was not allowed to speak anymore. Xie Yiyan's heart was bleeding.

The purse was newly installed before he went to bed, and there were a few large-value banknotes in it. He thought that he would buy some good things for Xiaojing at dawn tomorrow. That jade pendant, can His Highness wear a cheap jade pendant?Fortunately, it was just an ordinary jade pendant. Although it was a little expensive, it was not a royal thing, and it was fine to press it out. If it was worn in the capital on weekdays, if it was recognized by others, would it be okay?

"Young master is very generous, let me see, this jade pendant is not bad, I don't bully you, how about 500 taels?"

"What?!" Xie Yiyan's tone changed immediately, and she stretched out her hand to pull back the jade pendant: "500 taels? You can't even buy a tassel! Are you sure you don't know the goods?"

"Yoyoyo, why are you still in such a hurry? Jade is not easy to value." Seeing Xie Yiyan's anxious eyes, Hu Sancai hastened to flatter him: "Let me look again, the jade is indeed crystal clear, sir. The light was bad just now, and I was blinded, so, if I pay you two young masters, 2000 taels will be enough, right?"

Xie Yiyan wanted to speak, but Li Shengjing held down her wrist, took the jade pendant from his hand and threw it to Hu San: "I'll give you ten thousand, can you find out the girl's purse?"

The maidservant behind hurriedly replied: "The purse is 1000 taels of silver."

Li Shengjing smiled: "Master Hu, let me exchange it for 2 taels, and the rest can be regarded as treating Master Hu to tea."

Hu San waved his fan with a smile, and Li Shengjing always looked at him with that gentle expression, and finally Hu San lowered his head first: "Sure, it's the first time you come here, young master, I will suffer a little bit, It's no big deal, just treat it as a friend, you can come and take care of my business next time, and Tweety won't exchange chips for the two young masters."

Li Shengjing only took one of the chips, and pushed the rest to Xie Yiyan: "You play."

There were people all around, and only the maid named Cui'er followed them behind them, and after making sure that the girl knew no kung fu, Xie Yiyan leaned into Li Shengjing's ear and spoke to Li Shengjing in a voice that the two of them could hear: "I don't know how. "

"You will." Li Shengjing gave him a soothing look, and then deliberately raised his voice: "Let's play a simple game, let's compare the size with this. Don't you like this the most? I'll bet on the small."

"It's your bet."

Xie Yiyan took a deep breath, although he didn't know what Xiaojing wanted to do, but he was obedient and wanted to bet, but Li Shengjing held down his wrist again, Xie Yiyan didn't react yet, Li Shengjing just pressed him a little He quickly let go of him, and patted his arm: "Hurry up, the game is about to start, and if you don't bet, you can only go to the next game."

"Big."

He bet on one at random, but it turned out to be a small one. Li Shengjing happily took back his chips and showed off to Xie Yiyan happily. After that, the two bet on two more bets. Li Shengjing's luck has always been very good, from one chip to two. Xie Yiyan, on the contrary, lost several times in a row, but he soon discovered a problem. Every time he wanted to bet, Xiaojing would stop him. The person who rolls the dice will only let him bet after rolling the dice and holding the cup. Li Shengjing didn't understand it at first, but after a few times, he understood.

He has good ears and good internal strength. After shaking the dice, whether it landed big or small, there are actually traces to follow. After listening to it a few times, Xie Yiyan finally figured it out, and exhaled lightly. With a sigh of relief, after the color cup landed, Xie Yiyan took the initiative to bet her chips for the first time.

"Big."

"Four, five, six, big!"

Li Shengjing also laughed, this time he lost all the chips in his hand, holding Xie Yiyan's arm, his soft voice seemed to be coquettish: "Look, I said you will, okay, you Let's play."

"Aren't you going to play? Just bet with me."

"No." Li Shengjing yawned, and his tone was a bit casual: "Gamblers are not allowed to go to the gambling table, I'm afraid I'll lose and lose everything."
