Wei Shishan walked into the brightly lit Silver Hook Casino from the dark, humid cold fog, and took off his dark cloak, revealing his perfectly tailored and exquisitely handcrafted silver satin clothes.
He is Wei Yingzhang's second son and Wei Shisong's half brother.
With a weird personality, he doesn't like the vain ways of officialdom, he doesn't like the constraints of family rules, he likes the world full of freedom, and he prefers small gambling.
Every time at this time, he is in the happiest mood, especially today. Because, it was Yuan Zhen who accompanied him here today.
Although Yuan Zhen held a high position in the temple, it goes without saying that he was talented in poetry and prose. But he can still feel the unrestrained charm from Yuan Zhen.
Therefore, he likes being with Yuan Zhen.
And every time Yuan Zhen went to Wei's house as a guest, he would spend most of his time hanging out with him, either drinking and chatting, or gambling for fun.
"Erlang, you're lucky today." Yuan Zhen said with a smile.
Wei Shishan said with a smile: "That's not because of Uncle Wei's reputation."
"Bet big and small, buy and leave."
Wei Shishan looked at the chips on the gaming table, took out ten taels of silver and said, "Buy small."
Just as he placed his bet, Bai Chongyi held the fifty taels of silver note and exclaimed, "I'll buy big."
Bai Chongyi rubbed his palms with a solemn expression, his eyes fixed on the dice that the croupier was about to draw.
"Wait." Bai Suzhen appeared beside him at some point, and moved the fifty-two silver bills to the small side.
"Goro, buy big." Bai Chongyi said puzzled.
Bai Suzhen said indifferently: "Do you want to win money?"
Bai Chongyi immediately shut up and stopped talking. Today is his birthday, but he didn't want to spend it at home, so he begged Bai Suzhen to take him to the most famous silver hook gambling house in Shu County.
Bai Suzhen has been to Silver Hook Casino a few times. But unlike Xiaoqing, she likes to gamble. So every time I come here, I will win dozens of taels of silver, and then take the money and leave.
In the casino, there is a mixed bag of fish and dragons, and there are all kinds of people.
Some people sell their wives and children, put their money on the gambling table, and lose everything;
In the casino, nine out of ten bets lose. The only win is the casino's fishing method.
Here, Bai Suzhen can see the greed, cowardice, sadness, and indifference of human natureall are the dark side of human nature.
When Wei Shishan saw Bai Suzhen, he felt that this person looked very comfortable. This may be what people often say about eye relationship.
The croupier opened a small one, and those who bought the small one cheered, while those who bought the big one began to curse unreservedly.
"I made fifty taels, I'm rich." Bai Chongyi said excitedly, grabbing the silver.
Wei Shishan asked Bai Suzhen with a smile: "I don't know why this gentleman changed his big and small?"
Bai Suzhen glanced at him, then looked away, and said to Bai Chongyi, "Let's go."
After speaking, Bai Suzhen turned and left.
"Wait for me." Although Bai Chongyi was reluctant, but the God of Wealth had run away, he didn't dare to stay in this gambling house alone.
"He is an interesting person." Yuan Zhen praised.
"Uncle Yuan, do you think so too?"
"After winning the benefits, being able to withdraw decisively and leave is not something ordinary people have. Moreover, if he wants to win, he can keep winning. Isn't it interesting to give up the visible benefits."
Wei Shishan was startled, and said in amazement: "Can he keep winning?"
"Ten bets and nine losses in casinos are for ordinary people. But for some people, it's just a trick, not worth mentioning. Although you like the rivers and lakes, Erlang, the water in the rivers and lakes is no shallower than that in temples. If you are not careful, the boat capsizes and becomes a meal for the big fish." Yuan Zhen pointed out.
"Uncle Yuan, you are here again. Let's go, I'll treat you to a drink if you win the money."
After leaving the Silver Hook Casino, Bai Suzhen led him through several alleys and came to a small tavern called Xilai Tavern.
Bai Suzhen would come here when she wants to drink, one is that there are few people and it is clean, and the other is that there is only one kind of wine here, called Zhuyeqing.
Drinking Zhuyeqing, the figure of Xiaoqing is in the mind.
For more than 1,500 years, only Xiaoqing has never left her, and only Xiaoqing treats her like a family member.
It's just that she is low-minded, so she can't figure out where Xiaoqing is now.
"Wu Lang, this place is quiet and quiet, and the green bamboo leaves have a unique taste, so it's a good place. Before, why didn't I know there was a Xilai Tavern in the city." Bai Chongyi praised.
Bai SuNot very interesting, and extremely picky about men. Now it's all right, finally there is someone who interests him, even if it's a man, it doesn't matter.
In the future, it would be nice to have a woman at home and a younger brother outside.
"Report your name. I will not kill anyone who is unknown!" Wei Shishan said calmly.
The swordsman took off his bamboo hat, revealing his true face.
?He is in his thirties, with a dark complexion and many wrinkles on his face. At first glance, he looks like the kind of Jianghu swordsman who lives in the open.
"Next, the left-handed sword-Zhang Bin."
Although Wei Shishan hadn't really entered the rivers and lakes, he still knew a lot about the rivers and lakes.
There are many left-handed swordsmen in this arena.
Many people say that left-handers are smart, but in fact it is just because left-handers have to learn to use their right hand, while right-handers don't have to practice their left hand.
The same is true of many left-handed swordsmen: the left hand is the signboard, and the right hand is the hole card.
Zhang Bin seemed to see his thoughts: "My right hand is just a fake." After speaking, he shook off the hanging right arm.
"It's really a left-handed sword!"
Wei Shishan has a big head, and he seems to be a real swordsman.
A true swordsman is born for the sword and dies for the sword, without any frills in between.
However, he has only one way to deal with the left-handed sword: draw the sword faster than him, not a little faster, but so fast that life and death will be seen before he draws the sword.
"You will die!" Wei Shishan said seriously.
"To be able to die under Wei Langjun's sword is not in vain!"
Wei Shishan sighed twice and said, "Is fame that important? You don't even want your life!"
"Sword out!"
Just as Zhang Bin was about to draw his sword, he suddenly felt a cool breeze passing by his neck.
"It's so fast!" Zhang Bin whispered. Sure enough, the rumors in the rivers and lakes are not false.
"It's so boring!" Wei Shishan put away his sword and walked down the second floor.
"Why didn't you kill me?"
"If you want to thank you, thank you for your right arm. These days, for real swordsmen, one dies and one dies, so it's better to live!" Wei Shishan waved his hand.
"Uncle Yuan, let's go!"
Yuan Zhen smiled slightly and was about to get up when Zhang Bin's right hand suddenly flew up, then he drew his sword and stabbed directly at Yuan Zhen's chest.
Between lightning and flint, Yuan Zhen couldn't avoid this sudden sword.
A cold light flashed, and the right arm that flew out turned into pieces.
"Sword Qi!" A little blood oozes from the center of Zhang Bin's eyebrows, and then he collapses.
"Uncle Yuan, it's for you!"
Yuan Zhen said indifferently: "I know!"
Wei Shishan was slightly taken aback, scolded his mother in his heart, and was fooled by him again.
