C190 Xiao Chen's Gambling Skills

Since there was no news about the mysterious man, Duan Tianya and the others had no choice but to leave for Xunyang River to find Xu Liangjiu. Although it was highly likely that they would return empty-handed, judging from Xuan Zhengchen's attitude, even if there was a glimmer of hope, he wouldn't let it go.

In fact, Duan Tianya had been curious since a long time ago why Xuan Zhengchen was so persistent and insisted on finding the murderer of Xuan Peng. Logically speaking, even if Xuan Zhengchen treated his nephew as his own, no matter how much Xuan Zhengchen valued family, he wouldn't spend so much effort to investigate a matter that was like finding a needle in a haystack.

There was another thing that Duan Tianya was also very curious about. It was rumored that the Golden Snake Hall's Woo Sian didn't get along with Xuan Zhengchen, and it was already known by everyone. However, when the two of them met in the Golden Snake Hall, they seemed to have some sympathy for each other. At that time, they thought that it might be baseless rumors, and the rumors of the underworld weren't enough to be believed. But now that they thought about it carefully, the saying that there was no wind and no waves could rise had always been applicable to them until now.

Xuan Zhengchen had always seemed very anxious, especially when there were some clues. He seemed to be even more impatient, totally unlike a calm and steady old man in the Pugilistic World. Not only that, when the mysterious man appeared and disappeared. . . He seemed very anxious. He had talked to Duan Tianya more than once. It was very likely that the mysterious man was the murderer of Xuan Peng.

However, to Duan Tianya, he seemed to have understood some things. It was as if this mysterious man not only wanted to get him involved, but also wanted to get all the people related to him involved. Otherwise, there wouldn't be the matter of Golden Snake Hall and Demon Soul Gang.

Anyway, he had nothing to do. Looking at Xuan Zhengchen's tense face, he might as well tease him. Therefore, Duan Tianya rushed forward and said. "Looking at Senior Xuan's behavior, no matter how I look at it, this Xuan Peng is definitely not as simple as your nephew. "

When Xuan Zhengchen heard this, his face was filled with sadness and silence. Duan Tianya looked at him and knew that he had touched upon his sad past, so he stopped talking about it. However, Xuan Zhengchen actually said, "Duan was right. Xuan Peng is not my nephew, but my own son. "

As soon as these words came out, Duan Tianya instinctively looked around to make sure that Meng Chong and the others didn't hear him. Then, he said in a low voice. "Since you are my own flesh and blood, why don't you use father and son to meet each other in the world?"

Xuan Zhengchen let out a light sigh and said, "He was born between me and the Feng Chen girl. "

Duan Tianya knew that he had his own reasons, so he took the opportunity to change the topic. "Rumor has it that you don't get along with Woo Sian from the Golden Snake Hall, but that day when you two met, there was no conflict. "

Xuan Zhengchen said helplessly, "Three years ago, I re-emerged from the Pugilistic World. At that time, the Golden Snake Hall had just risen to fame. But because they lacked money, they found me. Woo Sian brought his men into my gambling den and took away the silver taels that I had prepared for him. This action was seen by many people. They thought that it was the Golden Snake Hall who robbed my gambling den. Just like that, this matter is spread to one person, and it has reached the point where I don't get along with him. "

Duan Tianya laughed after hearing this, "It seems like the rumors in the martial arts world are not trustworthy. "

Xuan Zhengchen said, "It's just a bunch of people watching the show. "

Passing by a gambling den, Xiao Chen was itching to fight. He went in and was ready to gamble. The others also followed him in. Xuan Zhengchen was born in an gambling den, so he was no longer interested in gambling. Meng Chong and the others each took a few dozen taels of silver for fun.

Xiao Chen, on the other hand, took off his bamboo hat and placed it on the gambling table with his sword. He stretched out his hand and placed the bag on the table, revealing a few silver ingots. When the old man of the Zhuang family saw so much silver, he immediately revealed a happy expression and shouted that he had made up his mind to leave.

Duan Tianya thought that Xiao Chen's gambling skills should be the same as his sword skills, superb and unparalleled. However, what made him disappointed was that Xiao Chen's gambling skills were terrible. In the blink of an eye, a thousand silver taels had already entered the dealer's pocket.

It seemed like Xiao Chen did not care about the silver taels, but from his eyes, it could be seen that although his gambling skills were not very good, he still had the desire to win.

Other than Meng Chong, the rest of the people returned in defeat. Meng Chong put the silver taels that he had won into his pocket. He walked over to Xiao Chen. He approached Xiao Chen and said in a sarcastic tone: "It seems like there are times when assassins fail. "

Xiao Chen looked at the silver taels in his shirt and asked, "These are all won by you?"

"What else?" As Meng Chong spoke, he stuffed the silver taels into Xiao Chen's bag. Xiao Chen was puzzled and asked, "What is the meaning of this?"

Meng Chong smiled. "It's for you. We have food and drinks this time. We don't need these. "

If it was his own silver, he would be able to squander it however he wanted. But now, he was taking the silver that was given to him by someone else. If he lost again, it wouldn't look good. When he thought about Xiao Chen, he rolled up his bag and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Duan Tianya. "You don't want to fish up your money?"

Xiao Chen said indifferently, "If you don't have that ability, you can't force it. "

"You don't have it, but I do! At this moment, Meng Chong grabbed a few silver ingots and threw them on the table. He shouted, "Big!"

Meng Chong had played a few games before, and they were all new employees of gambling dens. They did not have good skills, but the dealer in front of him was an experienced person. When he saw that Meng Chong did not come with good intentions, he grinned and said, "This bro is really capable. " Then, he shouted to the others, "Buy and leave, there are many bets!"

When the dice was opened, it turned out to be a leopard. Meng Chong's face darkened and he angrily said, "You are cheating?"

The Zhuang family quickly smiled and said, "I dare not! I'm just making a living. "

Meng Chong actually knew that the Zhuang family relied on their abilities. Although he was unwilling, his skills were indeed inferior. Seeing this, Duan Tianya simply threw the bag on the table and said to the Zhuang family, "Open it!"

The Zhuang family landed and said, "This bro, please help. "

Duan Tianya smiled and said, "Two points!"

"Two points? bro asked. Are you crazy?" Xiao Chen, who had always been calm and collected, could not help but ask, "Are you really betting two points?" The others on the gambling table were whispering to each other. Everyone said that this person was either crazy or stupid.

Duan Tianya, on the other hand, did not seem to be surprised. He took out a few more gold ingots from his bosom and asked, "Can the Zhuang family still eat these gold?"

The Zhuang family's face was gloomy, and they stuttered, "If you buy it and leave, don't break the rules. "

The Zhuang family raised their hands and everyone stared at the numbers on the dice. What surprised everyone was that Duan Tianya had indeed won the bet. There were really two points on the dice, and two of them were stacked together.

Everyone cried out in surprise, and all of them praised him for his help. Tieniu hurriedly stepped forward to help clean up the silver taels. The dealer also had the demeanor of a general. He cupped his fists and said, "As the saying goes, there is always someone better than you, and there is always someone better than you. Today, I have seen you, and I admire you so much that I prostrate myself in front of you. "

Duan Tianya did not respond. When he left with the crowd, he threw two gold ingots to the Zhuang family. This way, the Zhuang family did not lose much.
