C5

Closing the door and not knowing what was going on outside the window, leaving the cage and knowing how wide the sky was.

If you don't enter the martial arts world, you will never know how big it is and how lively it is.

Kaifeng had the largest Yi-Hong Courtyard in the Central Plains at that time. Those who had been to Kaifeng did not know that there was a Yikong Courtyard in Kaifeng.

However, even those who had not been to Kaifeng knew that there was a "Drunken Flower Hall" in Niu Yang City.

Compared to Niu Yang yamen, they were three hundred steps away. Circle Five Dive, Four Halls, Red Wall, Blue Walls, Five Floors Transfer Building.

The unremarkable "Drunken Flower Hall"!

The building was not famous. The famous one was only the Lady Boss of the "Drunken Flower Tower" ? ? Hua Niang.

Those who frequent the "Drunken Flower Lodge", no matter if they are scholarly, jianghu heroes or local hoodlums, do not know much about Hua Niang's background. Hua Niang was only a name that was called out in the martial arts world. No one knew her real name or where she came from. Of course, this was not important to the people who came to play at the "Drunken Flower Lodge". What was important was to be happy. And the "Drunken Flower Hall" was a place that could make them ten times happier than "Yi Hong Yuan".

Kaifeng originally only had the "Yikong Courtyard", and since the second year of Master Diao's appointment, a "Drunken Flower Pavilion" had appeared in Niuyang City. Moreover, on the first day of operation, they had almost all the businesses in the "Yikong Courtyard" sold out.

Everything was due to the beauty of the flower maiden.

Only those who had seen the flower ladies would know that beauty was like this. It was not the fat beauty of a imperial concubine, nor was it the beauty of a concubine who had a smile on her face like that of a king.

And the flower mother is a popular beauty, whether you are poor, rich or low, the weight of the lower position, can bet on the face.

Sketches, plain clothes. Seductive yet not demonic, beautiful yet not thick. Her fingers were slender and delicate, and her eyes were bright. Although he was over thirty years old, he looked like he had just turned twenty-eight years old.

The most beautiful thing about the flower maiden was her pair of eyes. It was enough to see the eyes that could make your soul go out of your body with a single glance.

On the second day after the opening of Drunken Flower Hall, the yamen's Qin Gang was chatting with his colleagues at the table, "... I said... "Ugh ?" Bro, what the fuck... "Ugh ?" Strange, no wonder ? "Ugh ?" "Ugh ?" That Ah Bao ? F * ck ? "Ugh ?" It was still fine the day before yesterday ? Last night... "Ugh ?" After making a trip to the Drunken Flower Lodge ? "Ugh ?" When he came back ? F * ck ? Become a... One... Chicken Eyes... Hahahaha... You said... "God damn it ?" And A-Bao did not say anything about it, neither did he object nor admit it. However, ever since the opening of the "Drunken Flower Hall", he had been going there every night. It was just as Qin Gang had said; if he did not go, he would really die. So far, Ah Bao owed Qin Gang 638 taels of silver. Yesterday, Qin Gang shouted at him, "Tomorrow, I will not borrow any more money for you to go to that place. Absolutely not."

Ah Bao also came today. Don't know where the money comes from.

The lanterns were beginning to light up.

The area in front of the 'Drunken Flower Hall' was bustling with noise and excitement. One by one, the young ladies dressed in muslin were recruiting guests, at least thirty of them, and were extremely busy.

The design of the "Drunken Flower Tower" was also unique.

The first floor was called the gambling den, and the moment one entered, there was a big signboard. The name 'Lucky Lodge' was written on it. The name was rather elegant, and inside was the gambling den.

The second floor was for restaurants, but was separated by separate rooms. There were eighty-eight of them, large and small, and each room had a very elegant name.

The guest room was on the third floor. Similarly, there were a total of eighty-eight of them. Each room also had a very elegant name, the most eye-catching being the two rooms on the stairs, one was called "Ting'er Garden" and the other was called "Pearl Fragrance Curtain". So each room was named after the most famous of the eighty-eight beauties. It was said that these beauties were all carefully selected from the southern part of the country. It was also said that the "Drunken Flower Lodge" had its own offices throughout the country, specializing in collecting beautiful women. No wonder people who had been to the "Drunken Flower Lodge" all said that there were fresh jobs every day. No wonder people like A-Bao would rather go bankrupt than to come to the "Drunken Flower Lodge". There was a reason.

The fourth floor is a VIP room. Only the nobles of high status can get to the fourth floor, and they must have a special pass to the Drunken Flower Lodge." At the foot of the stairs were four odd-looking men dressed in black, their faces masked and their hands seemingly unarmed. It was the "Drunken Flower Four Beasts" ? leopard, tiger hunter, red dragon, wolf! Few people in the martial arts world knew about the "Four Drunken Flowers". Only those who had been to the "Drunken Flower Hall" and qualified to go up to the fourth floor knew about it. Thus, no one knew how high their martial arts were. It was said that the "Drunken Flower Four Beasts" only listened to Hua Niang's orders. Five years ago, the boss of the "Yikong Courtyard" robbed his business in retaliation for the "Drunken Flower Lodge". He specially invited the "Desert Eagle" from outside the city to prepare a clean meal for Hua Niang and her "Drunken Flower Lodge". Desert Two Eagles ? the twin sons of Chou Feng and Chou Lei of Chou Feng Tian of Chou Jia Fortress, which was famous for its ability to move the martial arts world 40 years ago. The two brothers were already famous outside the mountain pass at the age of fourteen, and their family heirloom, the "Eighteen Thunder Blades", was unrivaled outside the mountain pass for ten years. Unfortunately, they had made the fatal mistake of agreeing to the mission. When they smoothly entered the third floor of the "Drunken Flower Hall", the two brothers smiled happily. This task was too simple. The "Drunken Flower Tower" didn't even have a guard that they could stop, let alone an opponent. But when they reached the fifth floor stairs, they saw four men in black. And one of them warned him not to go up the sixth ladder again, if he didn't have a pass. The two brothers laughed heartily again. When they laughed, their left and right hands were already starting to move. However, they would never have a chance to use their swords again, and when they suddenly fell, there was only one clear impression they would never forget. Each of them saw a black whirlwind coming towards them, and then a black flash of light, which disappeared in an arc. Then they went down, the knives in their hands only hitting two. The next day, Gong Sun Qian, the boss of the Yikong Courtyard, got up and went crazy. He saw two corpses on the floor and not a single person's right face was seen. It was the Desert Eagle duo. After that, the boss of the 'Yikong Courtyard' was changed to the current Shangguan Fei.

The fifth floor was where Hua Niang stayed.

Ah Bao didn't come to see the flower today because he realized that at his level, he was merely looking at the plum tree to quench his thirst. He also realized more clearly that looking at the plum tree was not going to stop his thirst. And so, three years ago, he had mixed in with the green flowers here.

He was here to see the green flowers. It had been fifteen days since he last saw the green flower. Cui Hua was on the third floor. But he still couldn't see. He had to pay at least five taels of silver to go up to the third floor, and another thirty taels to give to Lady Tsui Hua.

Ah Bao held his right hand tightly, sweat dripping down from his palms. There were two taels of silver inside, stolen from his colleague, Zhang San.

At this moment, he was standing at the first floor's staircase. Ah Bao supported himself on the stairs, his right foot stepping on the first ladder. He stopped and opened his palm to take a look, then stretched out his neck and tilted his head as he looked towards the third floor with his cross-eyed eyes. Unfortunately, his gaze was too low, other than the railings on the third floor, all he could see were the four black bodies on the fourth floor. Ah Bao quickly withdrew his head. He then lowered his head and strongly rubbed his right hand. Then, gritting his teeth, he lifted his left hand and directly entered the "Lucky Faction" by his side.

The Lucky Faction was bustling with noise and excitement. And it was indeed very big. There were at least thirty gambling tables of various sizes.

Every table was surrounded by people. Many of them were holding money bags high in their right hand, while the other one was pushing through the crowd, pushing towards the side.

"Large... Large... Small... Wa... Small... Open... "Haha, all of them..." "It's all eaten, haha ?"

"Grandmother ?" I don't believe it today... Large... Open... "Open ?"

Every table was filled with voices, shouts of bets, laughter of winners, and shouts of losers.

Today was the fiftieth time.

A-Bao came to a small table in the far east corner. Maybe it would bring good luck, thought Ah Bao, to change places today.

The number of people here was the fewest because this was the smallest one in the entire casino, and it was reserved for those who didn't have much money to play around with.

Ah Bao put his hands to his mouth and closed his eyes to chant. Then he sat down at the table, just in time to take a seat.

Then, he saw the person sitting opposite to him. The man had a full beard and a fierce-looking face. There was a red cloth wrapped around his head. The originally white vest had turned a dark yellow color. His shirt was open, and the hair on his chest was four inches long. Everyone who ate meat knew that it was the "Pork Chop" of Niu Yang City. The door knife that had been used to cut the flesh did not leave his body and was now hanging from his waist, swinging back and forth. Ah Bao was more familiar with the situation. Three years ago, Zhang Dazhi had killed someone selling meat from the Cholera Fever. He was the one who brought people to capture the meat. As a result, Zhang Dazhi had also spent half a year in prison. After coming out, no one dared to eat his pork, and after that, they lost their livelihood and went to the "Drunken Flower Hall" to gamble for a living. Big Hammer also saw that it was Ah Bao and snorted at him.

"Come..." Come... Posted... "Pledges..." Zhang Dazhi shook the big bowl with both of his hands as he screamed at the dozen gamblers beside the table.

"Five taels of silver for big ?" Buy a big one for 10 taels of silver... "15 taels of silver for small ?" In an instant, a pile of silver was piled on the table.

"Is it all? Is it all? Ah? Hurry up... "It opened ?"

Ah'Bao held his hands tight, his feet already trembling. It was as if he could only hear a voice, "Ah Bao, you must see the green flowers today, you must see the green flowers ?"

"Do you want to go down or not?"

Ah Bao was startled by the thunderous voice. It was as if he woke up from a dream.

"Go on ?" Down... Down... Buy 5 dollars... Buy Little... " Finally, he mustered the courage to slowly place a silver tael on the table. Then, he fixed his cross-eyed gaze on the bowl in Dazhi's hand. But at this moment, the hand of the sledgehammer stopped.

..." Are you playing with this old man? Do you have five dollars? Are you going to play or not? ? If you don't want to play, go home with your wife. "Ah?

"Haha ?" "Haha ?" The people beside him all looked at him and laughed.

"Then one tael ?" I... "I'll take one or two ?" He stood up, his face red, gasping for breath.

"Haha ?" "Haha ?" "Look at your appearance ?" Never mind, what the f * ck is this ? "Open!"

"Six o'clock, haha ?" "Six ?" The one who had just bought a cat cried out in joy.

"Come..." Come, come, come... "Continue, continue, continue, continue ?"

Beads of sweat the size of soybeans were dripping down Po's forehead and into his eyes. He felt it was astringent, he raised his sleeve and wiped his forehead. He looked up at the ceiling and saw Tsui Hua waving and smiling at him.

"..." What the f * ck, you're not going anywhere anymore? "

"One tael for small." Ah Bao put the last tael of silver on the table.

"Five taels of silver for big ?" Buy a big one for 10 taels of silver... "15 taels of silver for small ?" Soon, the bet was completed. Ah Bao looked at the pile of silver on the table. It was at least fifty silver taels.

"Hey!" Open! "Six ?"

A-Bao was slumped in his chair, his mind blank.

Suddenly, before anyone could react, Ah Bao pounced on them. He rolled the silver on the table with his right hand, picked up his clothes with his left hand, gathered the silver and ran towards the door.

The first one to react was Big Hammer. He stood on the chair and shouted in the direction that Ah Bao ran in, "Damn bear, money laundering!" "Money-laundering, grab onto him, don't let him get away! ?" After that, a group of more than ten people madly rushed towards Ah Bao.

Ah Bao was about to reach the door. There was only a shadow in his mind, the image of a green flower.

'Bang! 'a loud sound was heard. Ah Bao, on the other hand, ran too fast and there were too many people inside. He accidentally slipped a foot into his pocket and fell to the ground, scattering the silver all over the ground.

Before he could even get up, his neck was stepped on by a large foot, rendering him unable to move.

"Damn bear, you actually dare to laozi to laozi laozi to laozi laozi's money. It seems like you've really lived enough."

Then, A-Bao felt himself being lifted up by a big hand. He walked towards the door and clearly saw more than a dozen feet following behind him.

He was thrown to the ground with a thud. Ah Bao only felt his eyes bulging with tears. With great difficulty, he turned his body over. The first thing he saw was a pair of eyes on the side of his beard that looked like it was about to spit fire.

"Grandmother f * cking bear, I'll have you launder money ?" "I told you to capture me ?" Big Hammer took off the door knife at his waist, swinging it in front of Ah Bao while cursing.

"Cut him down ?" Chop him down ? Cut off both hands... "Cut off his right leg, let's see if he can still run ?" The dozen or so people who had sat at the same table as her earlier were also cheering for her.

Ah Bao knew he was done for, and his eyes slowly, almost desperately, moved to the third floor. Suddenly, Ah Bao's eyes lit up. He actually saw Cui Hua! The real Cui Hua was lying on the third floor railing with her two sisters, looking down and occasionally chatting happily. Ah Bao laughed. He also laughed happily.

"Fuck, you're still smiling, I'll make you laugh ?"

Ah Bao only felt his right arm tighten as he turned his head to see a big foot stepping on his arm. And then he saw the door knife in the hand of Zhang Dazhi, "Hahahaha ?" "See how you launder money in the future ?" A burst of white light flew towards his palm.

Ah ?" "Ahh!" Ah Bao was scared stiff. He shut his eyes tightly and shouted. With a "poof," something landed softly on his nose. It was wet and cool, with a hint of the fragrance of flowers. After a while, there was no one around and no one was around.

Ah Bao slowly opened his eyes and saw that his feet were still in the same place, and his sledgehammer was still stepping on his arm. However, his body seemed to have become stiff. Ah Bao turned his head to the side and suddenly saw a shiny sword stuck an inch away from his armpit. Ah Bao touched his nose and stuck something on his finger. It turned out to be a petal, a pink peach blossom petal, as if it had just been plucked.

The sledgehammer had been completely stunned! He didn't know what had happened. He only remembered that his sword was only seven inches away from Ah Bao's palm when he heard the sound of a needle hitting a metal bell. It was very light, but he heard it very clearly. At this moment, he noticed that there was no one around him other than the table of people from earlier. He really didn't know what was going on. Still.

Then, with another "pop," a bag fell right in front of the sledgehammer. Ah Bao could clearly hear the sound of two silver taels hitting each other inside the bag. He was familiar with the sound.

"Take the money and let him go. He was here for fun, not for revenge. Continue playing... "Hahahaha ?"

A woman's voice. It was as if he was from the heavens, light and slow, as if he could pierce through the soul and make people want to peacefully sleep. Ah Bao slowly turned his head and saw a woman on the fifth floor ? Hua Niang was playing with a peach tree branch in her hand. The branch was filled with pink peach blossoms!
