Chapter 371 Twelve

"Come, thanks for your help in today's matter. Yan Zhan is here to toast everyone!" In Wuzhou Town, Chu Chouli finally got what he wanted and ate the quicksand that he longed for.

Yan Zhan was a rich man.

In order to thank everyone for saving their lives today, Yan Zhan chose a good hotel in Wuzhou Town to entertain Xu Han and the others.

Just as Chu Chouli had expected, this Yan Zhan and the woman named Xue Ning accompanying him were the heroes and heroines of the rumors that the Devil Heaven Sect Elder had eloped with the female disciples of the Crimson Firmament Sect in Jianghu recently.

With the big fish and big meat, Chu Chouli naturally smiled. He did not refuse Yan Zhan's toast. The two of them quickly called each other brothers, causing Xue Ning, who was standing at the side, to blame him repeatedly. Xuan'er and Aowu took advantage of this opportunity to eat happily.

Mr. Wei returned to his room early to rest after setting up the stall as usual, while Ning Zhumang, who was sitting at the side, seemed to be at odds with the atmosphere of the glass of light crisscrossing the wine table.

Xu Han knew that he was worried about Fang Ziyu's safety, so he thought for a moment and stood up.

"Brother Xu, this is" Seeing Xu Han suddenly get up, Yan Zhan, who was drank to the brim, looked at Xu Han in astonishment, as if he was puzzled by his actions. Along the way, Xu Han probably understood the temper of this former Devil Heaven Sect elder. He was careless and went straight to and fro. No wonder he was able to speculate with Chu Chouli, this reckless man.

"Young Master Xu, is there something wrong with our hospitality" The woman named Xue Ning stood up and asked at that time, her expression filled with fear, as if she was feeling guilty about this matter.

If Yan Zhan's personality was careless, then Xue Ning's personality was a completely different scene.

This girl seemed to be a little too introverted. Apart from thanking everyone from the beginning, there were very few words spoken along the way. At this moment, Xu Han was at a loss for what to do with her expression.

He hurriedly said, "Brother Yan and Miss Xue have misunderstood. It's not that the two of you did not properly entertain us. Rather, Sect Leader Ning and I have important matters to attend to. We have to set off tomorrow, so we dare not delay."

Hearing this, Ning Zhumang's heart skipped a beat. He knew that what Xu Han said should be related to the promise he made outside Lu Chuan City today. Immediately, he stood up and said, "Don't blame us, we really have something important to do."

Regarding Fang Ziyu, Ning Zhumang's attitude naturally became eager.

Yan Zhan was stunned. Seeing that the two of them didn't seem to be lying, he naturally couldn't force them to stay. He said, "So… I wonder if there's anything I need to help with, just say it."

Ning Zhumang subconsciously said, "It's a long story, so you don't have to …"

However, just as he said this, he was interrupted by Xu Hansheng. At that time, the youth laughed and took a step forward, saying, "Since Brother Yan is so kind, then I really need Brother Yan's help with something here."

"Hmm? What is it?" Yan Zhan did not seem to have expected Xu Han to say such words. He was slightly stunned, but in the next moment, he still said heroically, "But it's fine to say so."

Ning Zhumang did not expect Xu Han to say this again. He also looked at Xu Han at that time. Obviously, he did not understand how the matter of looking for Fang Ziyu could be related to this Devil Heaven Sect elder in front of him.

However, Xu Han turned a blind eye to Ning Zhumang's puzzled gaze. He looked at Yan Zhan seriously and said, "Can I borrow five taels of silver?"

"Huh?" When he said this, Yan Zhan was stunned again. He never expected that Xu Han's so-called help would actually refer to this matter. However, he quickly laughed out loud and took out an ingot from his bosom and handed it to Xu Han. "Brother Xu, do you have enough? If I don't have enough, I still have more here."

That ingot was extremely heavy. It was more than thirty taels away. Xu Han immediately smiled and nodded repeatedly. "Enough, enough. However, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Brother Yan with one more thing."

"Just say it." Yan Zhan smiled.

Hearing this, Xu Han reached out and lifted Chu Chouli, who was still eating and drinking nonsense, like a chicken. He said, "Lend me this wine companion."

"Ah? Someone Chu hasn't eaten enough yet!" Chu Chouli, who only listened to the food on the table, muttered discontentedly. He still had a large piece of chicken in his mouth, and he was holding a large piece of roasted chicken in his hand. The corners of his mouth were stained with oil and wine. His appearance looked somewhat funny.

Puchi!

Seeing him like this, Xue Ning couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle. However, the moment the laughter came out, she seemed to feel that something was wrong. She hurriedly covered her mouth, but her face turned completely red. She looked extremely cute.

Yan Zhan patted Xue Ning's head affectionately before smiling, "Brother Chu, since Brother Xu has something important to ask for your help, you can go with him. This meal can be eaten at any time. As long as Brother Chu doesn't give up, you can talk to me about anything you want in the future. I will definitely give you what you want."

"Do you really mean it?" Hearing this, Chu Chouli's eyes immediately lit up. His eyes widened as he looked at Yan Zhan expectantly.

Perhaps amused by Chu Chouli's funny appearance, Yan Zhan nodded repeatedly and said, "Naturally, naturally."

"Good!" Chu Chouli immediately put down the roasted chicken in his hand and lifted his sleeve to wipe away the oil stains and wine stains on his face. He turned his head to look at Xu Han and said heroically, "Little Han, tell me, what do you want to do?"

His aggressive appearance was like Xu Han who made him go up the saber mountain and down the sea of flames without hesitation.

Xu Han, who was well aware of Chu Chouli's temperament, naturally did not have such expectations of him. At that time, he weighed the ingot in his hand and smiled. He said, "Old business, take a risk and the copper coins will be turned into gold shuttles."

…

Xu Han led Ning Zhumang and Chu Chouli through the busy streets of Wuzhou Town. Yan Zhan and Xue Ning had nothing to do and finally suggested to follow along. Xu Han thought for a moment before agreeing.

Everyone was extremely curious about what Xu Han wanted to do, but Xu Han was like a headless fly, walking and stopping, looking around.

Chu Chouli could tell what Xu Han was thinking, but he had already passed three or four casinos along the way. However, Xu Han only stopped slightly before moving forward again. This made Chu Chouli somewhat confused. After several inquiries, Xu Han only said that the casinos were not big enough, so he perfunctorily went over.

Seeing that Xu Han was unwilling to say anything, Chu Chouli could only put away the doubts in his heart and silently followed Xu Han.

Xu Han finally stopped in front of a small alley after he had visited almost all of Wuzhou Town.

"This is it." His eyes sank as he spoke.

Everyone was stunned as they followed Xu Han's gaze towards that place.

It was indeed a gambling house.

Of course, this kind of wording was a bit inappropriate, because the gaming house's door was extremely dilapidated. If it weren't for the two words' Gambling House 'written on the wooden token on the side, others would have thought that this place was just an ordinary residential building. However, this tattered place was so shabby that they didn't even bother to name it. Compared to the previous places, it was quite different. Everyone couldn't understand why Xu Han, who had always disliked those gambling houses that weren't big enough, would find this place.

"Let's go." However, Xu Han did not have the intention to solve the puzzles of the crowd. He smiled faintly at that time and took the lead in walking into it.

Seeing this, everyone could only hurry up and catch up.

…

Regardless of whether it was Great Zhou or Great Xia, the gambling house was a very miraculous place.

There were some destitute men who had lost so badly but still dreamed of turning over, and there were also some noble men in brocade clothes who had earned so much money but still wanted to go even further.

The winner's face was brimming with joy, while the loser's eyes were scarlet and silent.

In this small casino, one or two of the various forms of the human world could be seen.

The luxurious decoration inside the casino was in stark contrast to the shabby decoration outside the casino, stimulating everyone's eyes.

The door of the room was like another world. It was a hundred feet square, filled with various gambling tables. The simplest and most crowded place was the dice. It was simple to play, quick to win and lose. Naturally, it was favored by most people. However, apart from this, there were also common tricks like pitching pot, playing horse, and playing chess. Most of them had gathered quite a few people.

Just as they entered the gambling hall, a skinny man with a thieving expression greeted them quickly.

"Yo! You guys are noble at first glance. Whatever you want to play with, the little one can guide you." The man said this with a flattering smile on his yellowed face.

Of course, this skinny man was not a clerk in the casino, because the clerk in the casino had only two functions, one was to prevent those who had lost all their money from causing trouble, and the other was to interrupt those who cheated.

And there was a very general term for this skinny man-Deer Boy.

Find a suitable guest to guide the way, serve, wait until he wins the money, send him some rewards, is to do this kind of business. Of course, there were also some deer boys who colluded with the casino to harm the guests and received rewards from the casino.

The deer boy in front of him was the latter unfortunately. As soon as Xu Han and the others entered the casino, he saw that the clothes Xu Han and the others were wearing were obviously not ordinary gamblers. When he realized that the other party was a fat sheep, he hurriedly welcomed them.

"Dice, big one." Xu Han, however, didn't care about his intentions at all and said directly at that time.

Hearing this, Lu Tong's heart trembled. He thought to himself that he was stepping on dog sh*t luck, but he quickly smiled and said, "I wonder how big the guest official is going to play."

"Maximum." Xu Han said again.

Lu Tong's face was filled with joy as he bowed and said, "Good! This way, please!"

At the corner of his eyes, he looked at the attendant who was pressing down on him, indicating that the other party was ready to "slaughter the sheep". The waiter immediately understood and turned around to walk towards the inner room.

…

Very quickly, the deer boy led everyone through the hall to the side room.

Compared to the bustling hall, there were only four or five people sitting in twos and threes in the side room. Most of them were dressed in luxurious clothes. They were obviously all people with prestige in Wuzhou Town. Xu Han's group of vast and mighty people came to the side room and couldn't help but attract the attention of the gamblers.

At that time, the middle-aged man looked up at Xu Han and the others. The deer boy beside him laughed and said, "Boss Xiong, this is a new guest. He wants to play a few tricks."

The middle-aged man named Boss Xiong had already received the news from the waiter, but on the surface, he still said, "If you want to play, you are welcome. However, you must explain the rules clearly. You cannot use your internal strength. You must bet at least one tael of silver at a time, and there are too many spectators."

Long Zhou was different from Liao Zhou. Ever since he stepped into this place, Xu Han had smelled the Dark Asura Palace.

The casino he was looking for was actually looking for the branch of Dark Asura Palace. Although he could not get in touch with Liu Sheng through this, there was no better place to buy and sell information than Dark Asura Palace.

Before that, he needed to use the ingot in his hand to gather a large amount of money to complete the transaction.

However, this rule surprised him. The rule of not being able to use internal energy did not exist in the Senluo Palace Casino in the past, or rather, it did not have any good methods to contain this. However, this casino was obviously different now. The corner of Xu Han's eyes lit up at that time and he put the stone in the middle of the table into his eyes.

Xu Han's eyes narrowed at that moment. He naturally knew that calling the stone Flowing Light Metal was not of much use, but as long as there was a fluctuation in power, it would light up and become Flowing Light. Hence, he got the name Flowing Light.

This item was obviously placed here to detect any internal cheating on the card table.

"There are too many spectators? It doesn't matter. Can we also play?" Yan Zhan smiled heartily at that moment, pulled up the stool beside him and sat down.

At that time, Xu Han looked at Chu Chouli beside him and whispered, "Can you do it?"

Chu Chouli, who had always been keen on gambling, saw the gambling table again, but his expression changed slightly. He was stunned for a while before he said, "There shouldn't be a problem."

Xu Han was somewhat curious about Chu Chouli's appearance, but he still placed an ingot in his arms into Chu Chouli's hand.

Chu Chouli had once told him that his Sacred Piracy Sect had its own luck in gambling. As long as he was unwilling to lose, no one would be able to make him lose this matter on the gambling table.

Xu Han didn't pay much attention to this until one day, when he was bored and pulled by Chu Chouli to play dice a few times, he finally understood that Chu Chouli's words were true.

Whether it was using his internal energy to change the number of points on the die or any other method, all of them ended in failure.

In fact, he had no choice but to turn all the points into the biggest six. He thought that he could at least be invincible, but when the market opened, he discovered that one of the dice was actually crushed by him. Only then did Xu Han become convinced of Chu Chouli's ability on the gambling table.

Xu Han had also used this method when he was searching for information about the demons in Yanlai City, but he relied on his internal strength. Now that Flowing Light Metal was around, Xu Han did not dare to touch the bad luck of Dark Asura Palace, so he could only place all his hopes on the successor of the Sacred Bandit Sect.

Although Ning Zhumang did not understand the meaning of this move, he could roughly guess that it was closely related to the search for Fang Ziyu. Therefore, his gaze towards Chu Chouli was filled with hope.

…

The gamble started very quickly. It was a very simple bet.

Of course, since this side room was a place for rich people to play, there were naturally different rules. Apart from ordinary sizes, leopards, and other betting grounds, there were also one to eighteen such numbers. In addition to the size of the bet, gamblers could also take part in the gamble by pressing down on the number of dice they played. Once the bet was made, the rewards would be extremely generous, roughly five times the odds.

Very quickly, apart from the dealers, the previous four gamblers had placed bets long ago. All of them were seven to eight taels of silver, and they were willing to bet on both big and small bets.

At that time, Yan Zhan thought for a moment and took out another large ingot from his bosom, attracting the attention of the crowd. However, he seemed to be a little hesitant, not knowing where to press this ingot, so he turned to look at the woman behind him and asked, "Ning'er, where do you think it would be appropriate to press it?"

The usually shy and tranquil girl smiled and pointed at a certain spot on the gambling table, saying, "Here!"

At that time, Yan Zhan left the ingot there without thinking. He smiled and said, "Alright, then this is it."

At this time, Chu Chouli was the only one left on the gambling table who hadn't bet yet. Everyone naturally looked at the big man at that time.

However, for some unknown reason, Chu Chouli, who had always been careless, had a pale complexion. Even his forehead was covered in dense sweat. Xu Han frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

Chu Chouli smiled dryly. Only then did he leave the ingot on the small plate before the banker urged him. He turned to Xu Hanyan and said, "No problem."

Xu Han's brows furrowed a little at that time. How could he not see Chu Chouli's abnormal state? However, this was clearly not the time to ask in detail. Therefore, he could only put down the doubts in his heart and think about this matter. He asked again.

"Buy it and leave!" At this moment, the dealer saw everyone bet and shouted loudly. He raised the dice insect high up and swayed it with all sorts of fancy techniques, causing everyone to be dazzled.

Only after ten breaths did the Dice Gu land on the gambling table again. Everyone held their breath and looked at the little Dice Gu, waiting for the opening of the market.

"Get up!" At that time, the dealer shouted softly, and the Dice Gu was slowly raised. The three white jade dice scattered beneath the Dice Gu also appeared in front of everyone's eyes at that time.

Three, six, three!

"Big!"

The few people who won this result naturally smiled happily. At that time, Chu Chouli's body trembled again. His face instantly turned deathly pale. There seemed to be something that was about to overflow from the corner of his mouth, but he gritted his teeth and swallowed it back.

"Big Brother Chu, this is" Xu Han did not expect such a result. He was about to ask Chu Chouli, but at that time, he could clearly see the abnormal expression on Chu Chouli's face and immediately withdrew his words from his mouth.

Chu Chouli was truly a bit strange. This strange thing was not that he had lost this ingot, but that normally, this burly man would probably have started to joke when he encountered such a situation, but now he looked like this.

Xu Han suddenly remembered how the several thousand taels of silver he had given Chu Chouli had disappeared. It was as if he had heard Chu Chouli mention that he had lost.

But with Chu Chouli's ability, how could he…

"You bet. Why are you only playing one game?" At this moment, the gamblers on the gambling table began to urge him. In their eyes, Chu Chouli's abnormal state was mostly the state he should be in after losing nothing else. This kind of appearance was common in this casino.

The dealer also curled his lips at that time. He originally thought that it was a big fish, but he did not want to be just a fugitive who wanted to be big.

At that time, he smiled and said, "If your friend doesn't have any money to gamble with, please go back. Victory or defeat is a common occurrence in the military. Next time, you can say it again."

'"Cough cough" Just as he was saying this, a cough sounded from the side. Yan Zhan smiled and pointed at the ingot he had suppressed. "Did I win?" He asked.

The banker was stunned for a moment before he remembered the existence of this Yan Zhan. He looked sideways and his body couldn't help but tremble.

Yan Zhan's ingot was placed on a plate with 12 words written on it…
