Could it be that Yin Jiao couldn't afford to lose such a small amount of banknotes? Second Brother Jiang looked at the banknote coldly and said with disdain,""How can the future Crown Prince of the Great Shang Empire be so petty? You can't afford to lose, right?" "This sentence seems to have been repeated for more than ten thousand years, but it has never been taken seriously! Every time, without any accidents, you lose more than you win! What else did he say? I can't afford to lose? Wasn't this question too unnutritious?”Infuriated by his words, Yin Jiao threw all his silver notes at him. "I have five thousand taels here. The reason why I didn't take it out is because there's no need for it.”That's right, when the time comes, how nice would it be to make him lose until he took off all his clothes and got lost! Second Brother Jiang had been living in a daze for the past fifteen years!
"Hahaha, let's all bet on small too. It's definitely not wrong to follow Prince Yin Jiao!”Second Brother Jiang closed his eyes and placed the silver note on the table. The dealer's expression changed and he looked at Second Brother Jiang strangely.""Open it? Why aren't you driving? Hurry up and drive!" Such an exciting matter was about to be implemented, and his mouth was so excited that it kept nagging! Yin Jiao couldn't wait any longer. Seeing that the dealer didn't open it for a long time, he shouted. Only then did the dealer slowly open the dice cover. It was actually 18 points. Heaven and earth divinatory symbols. Although the divinatory symbols weren't clear and were just a little bit messy, the result was still the same. The outer divinatory symbols were eight and the inner divinatory symbols were one, so the result was eighteen. This divination seemed to be able to see through the dice cup. Second Lord Jiang smiled." Everyone, don't be so agitated. Thank you for letting me win! Thank you for letting me win!"”
Yin Jiao's expression changed drastically. His face turned from red to black as he watched Second Brother Jiang put all his silver notes into his pocket. Most of them were banknotes contributed by other gamblers. In total, there were at least seven to eight thousand taels."Here's your one thousand taels of silver, Crown Prince Yin Jiao. It seems that my luck today is not bad.”Second Brother Jiang smiled and handed him a thousand silver notes. He chuckled and said,""Consider this five hundred taels as a gift from me! After doing too many bad things, he would occasionally want to do some good things to accumulate merit!”Yin Jiao's mood was extremely bad, and a sense of defeat that he had never felt before pressed down on him.
The other gamblers were also dumbfounded. Didn't the second son of the Jiang family lose every bet? How did he win again today? It was a common practice in the gambling world that every time he thought in the opposite direction of Second Brother Jiang's choice, he would definitely win, right? He couldn't believe that this would be the end of the day. Second Brother Jiang kept all the silver notes and the scattered silver into his own pocket. He did not have any intention of treating them at all. This guy actually walked out of the casino with such a smug look. "Did you cheat at the First Casino of Zhaoge? Didn't the second son of the Jiang family lose every bet?”"You guys compensate my family's silver!"
"No. How could the No. 1 Casino of Chaoge cheat? Was Second Brother Jiang not allowed to win once in so many days?”A clamor came from behind, but Second Brother Jiang just smiled coldly and ignored it.
"Hey, why isn't this servant back yet? He really couldn't wait to know the result.”Ji Yi said to Shen Jiang anxiously as she watched him walk out. Shen Jiang lazily glanced outside the window and saw the slight smile on her lips. His lively eyes turned as if he was deep in thought.""He won!" "What is it? What did you say? Could it be that this princess's ears are playing tricks on her?”Ji Yi couldn't believe what she said. As the princess of the Zhou family, her status was no less than the princess of the Shen country. At least, after the spiritual canal was established, Western Zhou had a bumper harvest every year and was full of people. Even Emperor Xin often missed her uncle, Ji Chang! In comparison, Shen Country was much poorer. Even Princess Shen Jiang could not compare to her, a princess, who was so fashionable and avant-garde!
At this moment, the servant ran in and bowed respectfully."Princess, Your Highness, the bet is out. The Second Prince of the Lu Kingdom has won.”Ji Yi stared at Shen Jiang with her eyes wide open." How did this guy get so lucky? Your Highness, how did you know this guy would win?"”Shen Jiang calmly stood up and walked out.”
The weather was still sunny and pleasant just a moment ago. Why was it suddenly drizzling? The pedestrians on Zhaoge Old Street ran around to avoid the unexpected rain. Second Brother Jiang walked leisurely in the rain of the ancient bluestone street. The bluestone road under his feet had been the fief of the Lu Kingdom during the reign of Emperor Yao. Hundreds of years had passed, but things had changed. It was no longer his own, as if it was isolated from the entire ancient Zhaoge. She covered her chest and bit her lips. Her heart was in so much pain that it felt like it was being torn apart, but her tears still flowed down.
However, when she was ten, she was sent to Zhaoge as a hostage of the Lu Kingdom. What he didn't know was that in the third year of Zhaoge, all the concubines of the late king, except for the Empress Dowager, were killed. They were all willing to die for love and be buried with the late emperor. His mother also died. But now, the king was not his elder brother but his uncle. His elder brother had been killed in a court battle, and he himself had been expelled from the Lu Kingdom, drifting in Zhaoge.
Second Brother Jiang didn't know why he was crying. Was it for himself or for the world? How long would he have to bow down like this? He had to make good use of this identity. He had to turn around and return to the Lu Kingdom. He had to take revenge. He had to raise his voice high.
A light rain and a strong wind blew past, lifting the white light curtain. A stunning and elegant side profile appeared in front of him. The man was dressed in white and sat quietly in the carriage. The carriage was not only a limited edition, but also a modified one. His long black hair was casually scattered behind his head and fluttered in the wind. A pair of peach blossom eyes that were as long as the gorge were lowered lightly, and her hands were holding the zither. She was indescribably elegant and ethereal.
It was the white-robed young master who had disguised herself as a man in the restaurant. He recognized who this beauty was at a glance. He looked back, but he didn't want to think too much and continued walking forward.
"Stop, robber, hand over the money!”Suddenly, a few men dressed in cotton clothes dashed out from behind. They were all masked with black cloth, their hands trembling as they raised their knives and surrounded him like a tiger eyeing its prey. "Hand over the money. We know you have a few thousand taels of silver!”"Yes, hand over the money, or we'll kill you. We are bandits who kill without batting an eye!”The people who knew he had so many banknotes must be from the First Casino of Zhaoge. They dared to rob him in broad daylight because he had no power in Zhaoge. How could these poor people, who claimed to be used to being bandits, want to take advantage of the situation? However, this money was very important to him and he could not give it to them easily. Looking at these hands that could not even hold a knife steadily, he said,"If you want money, I'll give it to you!”He reached into his storage bag and took out some prepared stones and threw them far away.
"I've given it to you. Go and pick it up!" He threw something behind him, and these people immediately panicked and ran back to pick up the money. Consider it a treat after winning the bet!
Second Brother Jiang quickly ran to the white sedan chair and shouted to the person in the sedan chair,"Princess Shen, save me!" The zither music stopped abruptly, and the palanquin also stopped."How do you know that I am the princess of Shen Country?" His voice was ethereal and elegant, but it was filled with an indescribable killing intent."I'll tell you if you save me. How about it?”Second Brother Jiang said fearlessly.
"This princess has grown up and seen all kinds of people climbing up the social ladder, but I have never seen someone as shameless as you. You dare to climb up the social ladder in front of this princess, you really have a lot of guts!”The white-robed young master said.
When the criminals saw that they had only picked up some gravel, they were immediately furious. They raised their knives and ran over."Stinky brat, how dare you lie to us! I won't shed tears until I see the coffin. Brothers, kill them and rob them!”The few of them raised their sabers and prepared to charge.
At this moment, a sharp zither note cut through her ears like a sharp knife. She looked at the criminals who couldn't even hold their knives properly and fell to the ground before she could even make a sound. Second Brother Jiang looked at the criminals who were lying on the ground and cut their throats. There was only a faint bloody mark on their necks, but there was not a lot of blood. The zither melody hurt people deeply, but it hurt the inside and not the outside. It could be seen how profound the spiritual power of the person holding the zither was. The remaining two with higher cultivation were still alive. The two masked men were so scared that they fell to the ground. "Sigh! Sigh! Sigh! Pay attention to your image!" Second Brother Jiang said casually.
"Thank you for saving me, Princess." Second Brother Jiang had always been a person who would repay kindness. He immediately cupped his hands and thanked him,"No need to thank me. I didn't do it for you. These dirty things standing in front of me will only be an eyesore.”What an arrogant woman! Second Brother Jiang sneered and cupped his hands. Since that's the case, we'll meet again!
Second Brother Jiang pursed his lips. This woman was beautiful, but she was too cold. There was no trace of emotion in his words, let alone warmth. At this moment, he was standing face to face with the prostrating bandit who claimed to kill without batting an eyelid. He said in a cold voice,"Where's my jade pendant?"
The bandit who was holding the knife unsteadily swayed his body and smiled slyly. He said innocently,"Young master, why do you want your jade pendant from me? How could I have your jade pendant?”
"I know, you stole it!" Second Brother Jiang said coldly.
"When did I steal it? I've never done anything like that.”The bandit who could not hold his knife steadily rolled his eyes, looking like he deserved a beating.
"You stole it when you crashed into my house today. That Qilin jade pendant is priceless.”Second Brother Jiang didn't say anything else but answered the question of the bandit who couldn't hold his saber steadily.
"Where's my jade pendant?" He continued to ask.
The bandit who was holding the knife unsteadily rubbed his nose impatiently." I say, Young Master, you've asked me this question ten times today! I don't have your jade pendant here.”
He secretly added in his heart,'Everything on this good citizen is mine.' "Why don't you search?" He suddenly took out his pocket and stretched it out.
Second Brother Jiang seemed to be slightly angry as he walked towards him. "Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?" Seeing this, the other masked macheteman hurriedly rushed over to block the bandit who could not hold his knife steadily.
"You're the second prince of the Lu Kingdom. You shouldn't be so petty to lower yourself to the level of a good citizen!”In the eyes of this bandit, Second Brother Jiang was here to beat him up. As a veteran bandit who could not hold his saber steadily, he naturally had to protect himself. Therefore, he was as nervous as a white-haired phoenix chicken.
"Humph!" Second Brother Jiang snorted coldly and suddenly flung his sleeves. The wind that he brought up just happened to blow the clothes of the bandit, turning into a cold wind. Then, he left the bandit without looking back.
"That bandit who can't hold his knife steadily, you're a pig!”When Second Brother Jiang disappeared completely, the other bandit cut the head of the bandit who was holding the knife unsteadily. "That person is a legendary expert! You even dare to pull out a tiger's teeth! Look, once the zither music is played, all of them are knocked down!”
"Humph! Old acquaintance. When I stole the jade pendant, I never knew that he was an expert. Moreover, don't be deceived by the rumors. Rumors were just rumors. How was that guy powerful? Wasn't he still helpless about the jade pendant that he had taken back?”The bandit who could not hold his knife steadily smiled smugly as he reached for the hidden treasure chest under his crotch. That was where he hid his good stuff. He had to find a place to keep the stolen things properly. Therefore, he had already made a treasure chest and hid it under his crotch. He could show off his skills today. The two unfortunate clowns were also unfortunately captured by the second son of the Jiang family. He guessed that the second son of the Jiang family must have sensed something. Perhaps he wanted the jade pendant from him.
The bandit who could not hold his knife steadily was not stupid. He hid the Qilin jade pendant in the treasure chest under his crotch in advance to temporarily avoid this disaster. He also thought that he would immediately deal with the stolen goods after he returned. "Eh? Why is there nothing?" The bandit who was holding the knife unsteadily took out his hand in confusion. After looking at it for a while, he put it back in and touched it.
"Why did it suddenly disappear?" He continued to mutter to himself in confusion. When he was talking to the second son of the Jiang family just now, he clearly felt the existence of the jade pendant. How did it disappear in the blink of an eye? Could it be that this young man was also empty-handed? "Oh, it seems that the jade pendant has already entered the pocket of the owner.”
Second Brother Jiang looked at him calmly. He recalled the gust of wind that he had just experienced. It was as strange as when he suddenly disappeared from his little vault today. He suddenly curled his lips into a smile and thought,'It seems that the second son of the Jiang family is not as simple as the rumors say.' With a flick of his sleeve, the treasure hidden by the bandit who couldn't hold his knife steadily disappeared. Unfortunately, it was another arrogant pretentious man.
"Second Brother Jiang!" The bandit who could not hold his knife steadily called out to him with a depressed expression. "I've never been so humiliated before. Something that was stolen unknowingly was actually stolen unknowingly. It hurts my young heart.”
He lowered his eyes and squatted down in distress, tidying up the treasure chest under his crotch.
"That bandit who can't hold his knife steadily, do you think you're a noble thief?”The other bandit who was still alive said," I don't think so. I'm afraid that the second young master of the Jiang family let you steal it on purpose." As for his purpose…" He paused." Ah?”
The bandit who could not hold his knife steadily scratched his head in confusion." I really don't understand. What is the reason?”When did he just say that he was a bandit, and now he had become a good citizen? His expression changed faster than flipping a book!
Second Brother Jiang turned around to leave. "Stop!" Princess Shen Jiang sneered and narrowed her eyes. Was this kid ignoring her? "You still haven't told me how you know my identity?"”Second Lord Jiang's lips curled up. So it was because of this. This Shen Princess was really a stubborn person. He could only explain," Princess Shen Jiang's reason for coming here is very simple. The warmth and coldness of human nature are like flowers blooming and withering. If you can treat it as a formula and think of it as a necessity, it will be clear at a glance. Princess Shen Jiang only wants to break off the engagement with me! If I can live a stable life, who would be willing to wander with me? Princess saved my life today, this prince will agree!”
"Actually, it's very simple. The person with the highest zither skills in the world is none other than the princess of Shen Country, Shen Jiang. Although Princess Shen Jiang has always been secluded in her boudoir, her extraordinary zither temperament has already exposed her identity as a princess. The zither temperament is ethereal, so beautiful and transcendental from the mortal world.”Although he knew that she had bad intentions, he still flattered her. Even if they broke off the engagement, it would not be bad to be friends in the future, let alone such an expert! It was good to just blow on it to give her some air.
"Although this prince is just guessing, everything that happened next has confirmed my guess. Such a clean freak with a venomous tongue, the zither can be used as a sharp weapon. Isn't it Princess Shen Jiang?”The four servants holding the palanquin held their breaths. This was the first time they had heard someone speak of their master in such a manner. Shen Jiang listened to him calmly, his handsome face expressionless. After a while, he opened his thin lips and said in a clear voice like her zither,"It seems that the Second Prince of the Lu Kingdom is not as useless as the rumors say. Is it really good to swagger around like this?”
