Chapter 328 Betting
"I bet ten taels, a strong one, and I'll follow the master." Yu Mingchang took out a silver ingot.
"Then I'll bet on the thin one." Feng Aoqing took out a silver note worth one hundred taels.
"My master and I!" Siyan hurriedly took out a ten-liang silver ingot from the silver bag Feng Aoqing had given her before.
Everyone looked at Yu Yichen.
Yu Yichen reluctantly took out a silver ingot, thought for a moment, and placed it on Feng Aoqing's banknote: "Thin."
"Hey! You traitor!" Yu Mingchang was shocked.
"There are no fathers and sons in the casino." Yu Yichen sneered.
"Good guy! How dare you take advantage of me!" Yu Mingchang was furious.
"Okay, okay, there are no brothers in the casino, okay!" Yu Yichen changed his words.
Everyone stopped talking and watched the two men fight.
Gradually, the strong one found it increasingly difficult, and soon he was defeated by the thin one with one move.
Feng Aoqing looked at Yu Tingfeng proudly: "Thank you, General! I can go buy a new set of jewelry tomorrow."
"Thank you, General! I can also get a nice hairpin." Siyan also smiled.
"Hey! My ten taels~!" Yu Mingchang shouted.
"Stop howling, aren't you ashamed? I'll give you half of what I won!" Yu Yichen rolled his eyes at his brother.
"It seems that I can take care of it all by myself." The general did the math in his mind.
"Who made you a general?" Feng Aoqing looked at the wronged general and smiled with all eight teeth showing.
"I only have one thousand taels of silver, which I promised to give to him." Yu Tingfeng took out the banknote, placed it on the table, and pointed his chin at the thin man kneeling in front of the group.
"You are such a high-ranking general, yet you are still denying it! Aren't you ashamed?" Feng Aoqing sat up straight and teased.
"How could I go back on my word? I really don't have any cash. So, tomorrow I'll go to the bank and get a thousand taels worth of jewelry and a hundred taels worth of hairpins, right? I promise you'll get no less than that, okay?"
Siyan almost laughed out loud, the circle of people you want to give gifts to is really big!
The thin man was calm and not in a hurry. He listened quietly to the conversation.
"You ask questions, we'll go to bed first." Yu Tingfeng stood up and walked back to the original room.
As soon as he entered the room, Yu Mingchang went to the door, intending to eavesdrop.
"Come back! Go into the inner room." Yu Tingfeng shouted.
Just now, the three of them were afraid of something happening, so they were sitting in the front room. They could hear and see what was happening outside, but if they went into the inner room, they would be far away and could not hear anything.
"Aren't you curious?" Yu Mingchang asked.
"Do you think the Lord is like you? If you want to listen, you can listen outside just now!" Yu Yichen scolded.
"Okay!" Yu Mingchang had no choice but to follow the two into the inner room.
He tried to listen with his ears open, but he could hear nothing.
"If something goes wrong...we won't be able to make it in time..."
"Just shut up!"
Feng Aoqing waited for a moment and asked the man, "What's your name?"
"Stone Ashes."
"How do I write it?"
"A head of stone, an ember of burning embers."
"There really is a person named Shi." Feng Aoqing pointed at the identity documents.
"Actually, I don't know much." Shi Jin answered honestly.
His expression was somewhat painful at this moment, as the poison began to have a greater effect.
Feng Aoqing asked Siyan to give him the antidote first.
He swallowed it without a second thought, because he had no choice.
Feng Aoqing waited for a while, letting the antidote take effect, until he caught his breath.
"Miss, please ask!"
"I don't need you to know anything." Feng Aoqing now understood who wanted her to die.
"Just tell me what the lady wants me to do, as long as it's not to kill someone as difficult as you." Shi Jin was flexible.
"No need to kill her, you just need to follow her and let her know of your existence. She will be able to catch you but not be able to. Can you do it?" Feng Aoqing asked.
"Yes, how long?"
"It won't be long. I'll let you know."
"yes."
"I'll give you half of the banknote, and the other half when I notify you."
Siyan gave him the silver bills.
Shi Jin had not originally thought of asking for banknotes. In the current situation, it would be good enough to get the antidote to save his life. He did not expect Feng Aoqing to be so generous.
"This is already a huge sum of money. Aren't you afraid that I will just take the money and leave?" he asked in confusion.
"I can find you even if you don't use this identity. I can find you even better if you use this identity. Also, you can try running." Feng Aoqing handed over an identity document.
Shi Jin was still thinking, "I don't need two identities, how are you going to find me?", when he heard Feng Aoqing say, "Go! Return to the capital as fast as you can, otherwise you won't have enough time to complete the mission, and your life will be even less so."
Shi Jin finally understood that this man was good at using poison, and the antidote he had just taken could only keep him alive until he completed his mission.
Now that my life is in someone else's hands, I can only obey orders. Fortunately, this task is not difficult, at least it is much easier than killing someone.
He bowed and left Qiyunxuan.
Siyan's men dragged all the fallen animals in the yard into a car at the door and took them away.
She looked at the bloodstains all over the yard and asked, "Master, why don't you go back to Shangcui Tower and rest?"
"I'm not afraid. If you are afraid, live in the same room with me." Feng Aoqing said with a smile.
"Then I'm not afraid, but I'll still stay by your side in the front room." Siyan felt relieved.
The three people in the next room were also awake. Yu Mingchang came down from the roof and said to Yu Tingfeng, "Master, the people have left."
He was not allowed to eavesdrop, but he was also not allowed to peek.
"But how did Miss Feng know that these people would come tonight, and change the location to catch them in a trap?" Yu Mingchang was puzzled.
"The person who wants to kill her knows her too well." Yu Tingfeng replied.
Yu Yichen also said: "The collapse of Tinglanju was probably caused by human factors."
"Yes, the people who wanted to kill her knew that once the building collapsed and someone was injured, she would definitely not sit idly by. Her method of treating injuries was unique, so she revealed it." Yu Tingfeng nodded.
"Because we were there, as well as the defending soldiers, those people didn't take action in the bakery. They only took action when she was alone." Yu Yichen also understood.
"So you all know it! I'm the only one who doesn't know. So it's not that the master doesn't want to know who the financial sponsor is, but he knows that Miss Feng will never ask about this because she already knows who wants to kill her." Yu Mingchang realized it belatedly.
"Just now when we were gambling, could it be that the master was intentionally giving money to people to spend?" he asked again.
"I can see that although that man is strong, he is brave but not wise. The skinny guy has been conserving his energy until only the strong man is left, and then he kills him with one move. Do you think Your Majesty can't see it?" Yu Yichen rolled his eyes at him again.
"I don't care about strong men or thin men! I only care about my master. No matter which one my master bets on, I will bet on it even if I know I will lose! You can't compare with such loyalty!" Yu Mingchang finally found the key point.
In the room over there, two girls were also chatting.
"What jewelry do you think the general will give you tomorrow?"
"I won't accept anything you give me." Feng Aoqing said directly.
