Chapter 58 Uncle, do you want to make a deal?
Yun Zhao buried her head in Xu Yinan's arms, looking frightened.
The casino owner raised an eyebrow at the two figures in front of him, one big and one small, but his words were directed at the pig-headed man.
"Sir, I can't help you find the person you're looking for. As you can see, I have other guests here. Please leave."
"Don't refuse a polite toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!"
The guard's face darkened, and he rebuked him angrily.
Those who can run a gambling den are ruthless people.
Moreover, this gambling den was located in a county town with a high concentration of caravans.
The landlord's face revealed a mocking smile: "I call you 'Master' only because of Fifth Master. If you let your dog bark indiscriminately, don't blame me for being impolite!"
With a "whoosh," the men guarding the door stepped forward, drawing their swords.
The pig-headed man raised his hand and pushed the guards aside, his eyes now only slits as he squinted at them.
But his face was so swollen that he couldn't see who was outside the door at all.
"Master Li, my guard has a bad temper, please don't take offense."
"I won't keep you here any longer."
Master Li stepped aside, and Pighead had no choice but to leave first.
The guards led the way for Pig Head, passing by Xu Yinan.
Pighead suddenly paused and turned to look at him.
Yun Zhao immediately hugged Xu Yinan's neck and used the back of his head to cover his face.
"Uncle, I'm sleepy~"
Pighead frowned slightly, unable to see clearly, so he turned and left.
Master Li led Xu Yinan and the other man into the house, looked at them with an inscrutable expression, and smiled.
"Gentlemen, did you have a good time at Li's casino?"
"It's fun! Zhao Zhao likes it!"
Yun Zhao happily raised his hand, seemingly having a lot of fun.
"How do you two manage to hit the bullseye every time?"
When he said this, Master Li's expression remained unchanged, but his tone carried a sinister undertone.
"It's all thanks to my luck!"
Yun Zhao puffed out his chest and said proudly.
"Heh, that's interesting."
In the past, not only children, but even adults would be frightened when they saw the scars on his face.
This was the first time Mr. Li had ever seen someone so unafraid of his little baby.
"You two don't seem like ordinary people."
"And what about you? That guard's knife just now had the Imperial Guard's insignia on it. Are you doing business with the Imperial Guard?"
According to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, anyone holding an official position is prohibited from patronizing prostitutes or gambling.
If members of the Imperial Guard come to a gambling den, they will be punished with thirty strokes of the cane and fined three months' wages.
Master Li's expression changed, and he narrowed his eyes dangerously: "Who exactly are you?"
Xu Yinan then remembered that those people's swords did indeed have a badge on them, but he hadn't been able to make out what the design was.
"Master Li, is it? I originally came to gather information, but now you see, if I report the Imperial Guards' presence here to Lord Yang..."
Xu Yinan smiled, his eyes crinkling, looking every bit the cunning old fox.
Li Ye's lips twitched a few times. "Threatening me?"
"Uncle, we didn't threaten you. I'm here to make a deal with you. Do you... every night..."
Especially in winter, my right eye hurts terribly, to the point that I can't see clearly the next day.
Mr. Li: ?
Isn't this topic being changed a little too quickly?
"I can help you cure your illness, but as payment, you have to tell me what that person wanted from you, okay?"
Yun Zhao tilted his head and asked.
"You? Hahahaha, what can a little kid like you do? Let me tell you..."
I could have both of you killed right now, without anyone knowing.
A sinister glint appeared in Master Li's eyes, and the scars on his face made him look like a venomous snake sticking out of a ditch; one bite and he could take your life at any moment.
Xu Yinan felt a little flustered.
Although this Mr. Li in front of me is also a gambling house owner, he seems to be quite different from the Moon Shop in the Southwest!
Master Li naturally noticed his panic, but the little baby's composure aroused his curiosity.
Yun Zhao blinked, stroking his chin with an air of maturity: "If you won't let me treat you, how do you know I can't cure you? Are you afraid?"
"You little girl are quite something, aren't you afraid of death?"
“The gentleman said that everyone must die, and I am naturally afraid of death, but I feel that you dare not let me die, because if you want to live, I cannot die.”
Others might not understand what Yun Zhao was saying, but Master Li knew what she meant.
He was poisoned; the scars on his face were from scratches he inflicted himself when the poison took effect.
He once sought help from Medicine King Valley, but the old master of Medicine King Valley refused to help him.
Over the years, he has been developing his network of relationships, hoping that one day he can find a way to cure the poison.
But now the frequency of poisoning is increasing.
The old valley master said that when he starts having flare-ups every day, that will be the time for his death.
How could this little kid know anything about his affairs without even taking his pulse?
Could it be that someone leaked the information?
Thinking of this, a bloodthirsty look appeared on Master Li's face, and his gaze swept over the two trusted confidants in the room with a sinister look.
The trusted confidant, unaware of what was happening, immediately knelt down.
"Master, spare my life!"
Regardless of whether you did something wrong or not, beg for forgiveness first.
"It wasn't them who said it~ I figured it out myself. So, Uncle, how about we make a deal?"
How novel it is that a little baby comes to him to make a deal.
"Okay, but what if you can't cure it?"
Master Li looked at her with great interest.
"Hmm~ I'm cured. From now on, you have to grant me any request. If I couldn't be cured, then there's no way I couldn't be cured~"
Yun Zhao laughed shamelessly.
"How dare you! Are you trying to fool us, sir?"
A trusted confidant standing nearby angrily rebuked Yun Zhao.
Master Li raised his hand to stop the other person, "Alright, you can treat him. Once he's cured, you can keep him as long as you need him in the future."
I, Li Dali, am your lackey. All my subordinates obey your orders. If you fail to cure me…
He paused for a few seconds, trying to see a hint of fear on the little girl's face.
"I'll take both of your lives!"
Xu Yinan's hand holding Yun Zhao trembled slightly, and he asked in a low voice, "Zhao Zhao, are you confident?"
He had witnessed Yun Zhao using silver needles to save people, but he didn't know just how capable his little niece really was.
He was the one who trained her; if something really happens to her, how can he face his sister?
"Don't worry, Uncle, it's all covered!"
Yun Zhao patted his chest, full of confidence.
Xu Yinan actually believed it.
Watching the interaction between the uncle and nephew, Li Dali couldn't help but laugh.
One dares to speak, the other dares to believe.
When Yun Zhao pulled a needle case out of the small pocket on his chest, Li Dali's smile vanished.
"Are you serious?"
"Otherwise what?"
Yun Zhao blinked and asked innocently.
Are you scared?
Li Dali laughed and reached out his hand, letting her take his pulse.
Yun Zhao clumsily climbed off Xu Yinan, using both his hands and feet.
Approaching Li Dali, he began to take his pulse in a seemingly professional manner.
She lowered her eyes, her expression solemn and composed, not at all like a five-year-old child.
After a long while, she stopped and began fiddling with the needle case.
"What, is there any hope?"
"nature."
Yun Zhao calmly uttered two words, and Li Dali raised an eyebrow at her in surprise.
The hand resting on my knee twitched unconsciously twice.
Is it really possible to save them?
Yun Zhao didn't say a word, but simply picked up the silver needle and beckoned to Li Dali, signaling him to bow his head.
After pondering for a moment, Li Dali finally lowered his head.
Yun Zhao picked up a silver needle and stabbed it below his right eye, startling him.
"Don't move!"
The baby's words silenced him completely.
"How dare you!"
The man next to him drew his sword and pointed it at Yun Zhao.
