"I don't think you'll ever forget my name again."

The nose of this official from the You Kingdom was almost pointing upwards. "Introduce yourself, I am Guo Nu, and I think that when everyone is gambling again in the future, you will all think of me."

"Don't be arrogant!"

A man around the age of forty stood up and shouted. The fierce look on his face was quite frightening.

This person was wearing cloth clothes, and he was tall, so he seemed a bit special in the crowd. He was 1.9m tall, and looked even more muscular than Du Shoushou. Although they were cloth shoes, they had an aura that no one dared to underestimate.

People of the Gao Family.

Someone was whispering underground.

"The people from the Gao Family have made their move. Now that bastard is looking down on us, he actually dares to look down on my people."

"That's right, the Gao Family has a deep foundation. When the Mr. Gao attacks, the people of the You Kingdom will lose face."

On the second floor, a well-behaved looking young lady stood beside An Zheng. She was Zhuang Feifei's personal maid, Red Luan, and the Red Luan that was supposed to be dead. She was not exactly beautiful, but she had the temperament of a next-door girl, especially cute.

"That's Gao Yuanhu from the Gao Family. Everyone calls him Mr. Gao, and he's the boss behind all the casinos in the capital."

The Red Luan explained to An Zheng. "The Gao Family is considered a legend. After the founding of the, he was conferred the title of Duke of the Nation by the King of Yan, and was one of the founding fathers of the Seven Nations in the Great Yan. And, he was ranked at the top of the seven great dukes. However, this Gao Zhaoxing was also a legendary figure. Three years after the establishment of the Great Yan, he requested to see the King of Yan to remove all of his official titles. Not only his, all the official positions in the Gao Family are removed. "

"At that time, the King of Yan was extremely shocked and asked him why. Gao Zhaoxing said that he was willing to use his own merits to exchange for three chances for future generations to survive. He said that he was worried that with his current high status, his descendants would inevitably be domineering. He was worried that his descendants would carry his banner and commit evil, and even more worried that he would end up exterminating his family. King of Yan advised him, there's no need to think about it. As long as he can teach us well, how could something like this happen? "

"Gao Zhaoxing insisted on leaving the imperial court. He entered the palace six times in a row, but the King of Yan still granted his request in the end. Before his death, King of Yan left behind his last words. Gao Family had rendered meritorious service to Great Yan, and he did not allow the descendants of Mu Family to be forgotten. Later on, the people of Gao Family started a business. Because the Yan People was gambling, they opened a casino. The rules of his casino were the most fair, and they were completely honest. Of course, it was just a rumor, and I had never been there before. There were only two ways for girls to enter and leave the casino. The first way was to not be afraid of being talked about by others. The other kind of people are also not afraid of others talking too much about it. "

Two were not afraid, but they had two different meanings.

"Although Gao Family has withdrawn from the imperial court, because he had a lot of power and influence in the military back then, many people received the favor of being excessively grateful to the stars, so the business in Gao Family is doing well. Furthermore, the descendants of the Gao Family were good at managing and kept a low profile. They had always maintained a good relationship with the military and had dealings with many powerful figures in the imperial government. As a result, all the casinos in Fanggu City were now under the control of the Gao Family. Outside the Fanggu City, in the Great Yan, it is said that the Gao Family has already opened 320 casinos. "

The voice of the Red Luan was clear and pleasant to hear. After speaking in one breath, it turned to An Zheng and said: "Do not underestimate the person from Gao Family. It is said that Gao Zhaoxing was a genuine Great Perfection Stage Ranker back then and was only a hair's breadth away from entering the Minor Heaven Stage. There are also rumors saying that the reason why Gao Family has been able to remain as motionless as a mountain for so many years is because Gao Family has a genuine Grand Cultivator. Therefore, even if the empress dowager had any intentions of entering the casino, it would just have to end with that. "

An Zheng nodded his head: "So this means that Mr. Gao Gao Yuanhu is the current Sect Leader of the Gao Family?"

The Red Luan shook her head. "I don't know about that. In any case, he's the one who came out with all the information."

Downstairs, Gao Yuanhu walked up the stage with large strides. He stood beside a table and stared at the stone for a while with knitted brows.

You Kingdom official Guo Nu laughed: "What is your name?"

"Gao Yuanhu."

"Mr. Gao, looking at your clothes, you should not have any official status. However, to be able to enter this occasion meant that he was definitely not a mortal. Mr. Gao daring to be the first to step forward, should be because he had confidence in himself. I wonder which piece Mr. Gao chose, and how much he's prepared to bet? "

Gao Yuanhu's gaze wandered over those stones, and finally chose a stone the size of a watermelon. "This one."

The rock looked like a crooked pear, one big and one small. The stone gave off a light blue glow, and it was not the kind that floated on the surface. All the light seemed to come from the inside of the stone.

Gao Yuanhu raised the stone in front of his eyes and looked at the sunlight outside the window. The stone was very heavy, and he could not see any clues. However, he could vaguely see that there seemed to be a shadow inside. He sniffed again, then frowned.

Finally he put the stone down on the table and stood looking at it for another five minutes.

An Zheng knew that Gao Yuanhu must be sensing the aura from the stone. As long as it was a real treasure, no matter how tightly the stone was sealed, a faint aura would still seep out. An Zheng didn't know what Gao Yuanhu's cultivation level was like, but since it could become the overseer of the Gao Family on the surface, its eyesight, experience, and cultivation level would definitely not be low.

The officer of the You Kingdom, Guo Nu, didn't seem to mind and continued to look at Gao Yuanhu with a smile.

After a while, Gao Yuanhu confirmed again, "I choose this one."

Guo Nu asked: How much does Mr. Gao plan to bet? Do you have a bet, or not? "If so, what's the grade of the bet?"

Gao Yuanhu had clearly already made his choice, but he still decided after pondering for a while, "I will bet ten thousand silver. It should be a piece of white product's item. "

Guo Nu seemed to be slightly disdainful. Ten thousand silver was not even worth his attention.

"If that's the case, then so be it."

He looked at Gao Yuanhu with contempt: "Even though it's only a wager of ten thousand silver, since this Mr. Gao is the first to stand out, his courage is commendable, so of course I have to keep my promise. Our You Kingdom will increase the bet by 30%, and it will be 13,000 silver. If there was anything after being cut, and it was a white product, then the things that were cut out would belong to the Mr. Gao, and 13000 taels of silver would also belong to the Mr. Gao. If Mr. Gao loses, then the 5000 taels of silver and the 10,000 taels of silver wager will not be refunded. "

He sat down and said: "In order to express fairness, I will pass the cut stone to the blacksmith of Jushang Yard."

Zhang Yifu and Gao Yuanhu looked at each other; one could tell that these two experienced experts were a little nervous.

With the Gao Family's background, Gao Yuanhu naturally did not care about the fifteen thousand taels of silver. What he cared about was the face of the Gao Family, and even the face of the Yan Kingdom.

The one who was more nervous was the craftsman of the Jushang Yard. He was almost sixty years old, an old master who had over thirty years of experience cutting rocks. In all these years, there had been many spirit stone cut out under his hands, among them there was no lack of such treasures as red rank and red rank.

Actually, every craftsman's final dream was to become a spirit stone that could cut out a piece of purple rank. Only then would they be considered to have achieved perfection in their lives. But in this entire world, there were tens of thousands of craftsmen, and the number of people who cut out purple rank spirit stone could be counted on one hand.

old craftsman walked up the stage, the lithotome in his hands releasing a cold light under the light. Every lithotome had a lot of stories, and every lithotome represented hope.

It was a pair of hands that seemed to have age spots, but it was still steady. old craftsman held onto the light blue colored stone with one hand and the blade with the other. He took a deep breath, then turned his gaze towards Gao Yuanhu. Gao Yuanhu slightly nodded towards him. old craftsman felt that this was the most nervous time he had ever cut a rock apart in his life.

An Zheng slowly walked down from the second floor and walked closer to watch.

Cutting rocks was like peeling apples. Layer after layer, experienced craftsmen could judge whether a knife was heavy or light by the feel of the knife. Because it involved Yan People's dignity, he had chosen the safest way. He unsheathed his blade and gently cut into it. Then, he turned it around and followed the direction of the stone. His hand was abnormally steady, not just the hand holding the sabre, but also the hand pressing the stone.

With a single slash, a piece of stone was cut out. The piece of stone would not shatter or crack. This was the skill of a craftsman.

The blue light shone even brighter than before. According to the grade, it was a jade-white, red, and gold violet color. However, the blue light on this rock was a bit too strange.

After this cut, An Zheng's expression became a little ugly, because he knew that Gao Yuanhu had lost his bet.

As the saber continued to cut in and out, the layer after layer of stone began to fall off. The blue light became brighter and brighter, but there was no change within it. Fine beads of sweat had already appeared on old craftsman's forehead, while Guo Nu, who was seated not too far away, was smiling proudly.

"This rock looks so good. It's such a pity to shred it."

An Zheng suddenly said as everyone's attention concentrated on him.

An Zheng walked to Gao Yuanhu and cupped his fists: "Greetings, Mr. Gao."

Gao Yuanhu returned the greeting, "You are Prince An?"

An Zheng nodded his head: "Yes, I am, but the things inside the stone are not very important to Mr. Gao, but I just happen to be in urgent need, so Mr. Gao transferred the stone to me?"

Gao Yuanhu was startled, and a little touched in his heart.

Guo Nu stood up and said: "That won't do, the gambling is not over, how can I transfer it to you?"

An Zheng took out a stack of silver bills from his sleeves, and handed a piece of ten thousand silvers to Gao Yuanhu: "There is a little girl at home who loves this kind of blue light the most. Now that I have it, can you give it to me? "

Without waiting for Gao Yuanhu's reply, An Zheng took out another silver note. "This is twenty thousand silvers, fifteen thousand silvers is your compensation. Five thousand silvers is my deposit, I will also come in to play."

An Zheng realized that Guo Nu was not looking at the duke Tan Song, but was looking at the red-robed clergyman in the distance with an inquiring gaze. The red-robed clergyman nodded without leaving a trace, and Guo Nu immediately laughed: "Since it's like this, then forget it. It was hard to tell that this Prince An was young, but his actions were generous. likes to make friends, since you are willing to accept this gamble for Mr. Gao, then this rock can be avoided, but you have to choose another one. "

Guo Nu smiled as he waved the silver notes in his hand: "But this is the bet that you made on behalf of Mr. Gao. If you want to cut the rocks and bet, it's a simple bet."

An Zheng nodded. "No problem."

Guo Nu saw that An Zheng's attitude was calm, so he did not dare underestimate him. He pointed to the stones on the table: "Prince An, choose one?"

An Zheng walked over and looked at the stone that was emitting a multicolored radiance for a while. He randomly picked one up and looked at it, then put it down. Pick up another piece and look at it. He kept looking at the five or six stones, and the frown on his face became deeper and deeper.

Guo Nu could not help but ask: "Prince An, what are you doing?"

An Zheng turned around and glanced at him: "Calculate."

Guo Nu was startled: "What do you mean?"

An Zheng fished out the silver bills from his sleeves once again, and arranged them on the table. "I didn't really make any preparations when I went out today, so I brought this silver, approximately... Fifty thousand silver. "

He piled all the stones he had seen before together. "Fifteen, it's enough to add fifteen thousand taels to a stone. But I don't think there's a need to go through so much trouble. It's a waste of time to cut more than ten stones, and it's not good to not leave any opportunities for others. "

An Zheng took a rock from inside: "I will choose this, who will choose who will love the rest."

The meaning of those words were obvious, so Zhuang Feifei smiled: Then I will also casually choose a piece on behalf of the Jushang Yard.

She stood up and casually picked one out from the stone An Zheng picked out.

She asked An Zheng: "Prince An, how do you plan to bet?"

An Zheng placed five hundred thousand silvers on the table. "Let's bet five hundred thousand silvers on this gold rank spirit stone. It's as big as a fist."

He looked at Guo Nu: "Excuse me, do you have enough silver?"
