Chapter 154 Gambling
The literati casino is very noisy. Most people who gamble are not addicted to it. They just gamble for fun or to find out whether the things they are arguing are right.
There were groups of people gathered in front of a gambling table, betting here and there with great interest.
Although he has a bad relationship with Yun Zhuan, why doesn't this person give him any face?
It's a waste of his time to have such a pretty face! And he still wants to have a good relationship with Yun Ju'an today!
Beimen Yin felt betrayed and was very unhappy.
Who would have thought that Yun Zhuan ignored the noisy voices of the people around him and looked at Beimen Yin with clear and calm eyes:
"Do you really want to be the emperor of Northern Chu?"
Beimen Yin was simply immersed in these peaceful eyes, and it took him a long while to come back to his senses, his eyes looking somewhat lonely:
"I don't want to compete with my brother for..."
"But they didn't treat me as a brother. Besides, my father didn't like me that much. My wish is just to be a scholar, travel around, and do what I like."
Yun Zhuan knew very well that Beimen Que had been sent out by the King of Chu to gain experience since he was a child, and even after he came back, he was still ignored and followed the normal rules and regulations.
A prince who can be sent to the military camp will have the opportunity to build good relationships with those soldiers who have gone through life and death together. Isn't this also a plan for his future ascension to the throne?
If Beimen Que is willing to sacrifice himself for him, then the troops under his command will also be willing to sacrifice themselves for him.
Not sure if it was Yun Zhen'an's own illusion, but she felt that the reason why the Emperor of Chu created the illusion that Beimen Ye and Beimen Yu were favored was to confuse the ministers and make them unable to judge which prince the Emperor of Chu really cared about.
This will give Beimen Bird's Nest time to capture people's hearts.
Beimen Yin waved his hands and said, "Forget it. I'm not interested in that position anyway. Mr. Bai, I'll take my leave now."
Then he bowed again, turned around and left, and he really didn't say much nonsense.
"He has no bad intentions and is a simple person." Bai Ye spoke slowly. He always believed in his former friend and knew that he could judge people well.
Yun Zhuan was silent for a while, then nodded: "Sir, you are absolutely right."
If she was Beimen Yin, she would not be staying in this sea of literature and ink at this moment. I am afraid she would have already started planning for her future. How could she be like Beimen Yin, doing whatever she wants and not caring about state affairs?
Perhaps he would try his best to prove his ability, but in this case, he would most likely be suppressed by the Emperor of Chu. After all, he was a king who had successfully seized the throne, so it would not be difficult for him to treat such a little kid.
"I'll leave tomorrow." Bai Ye said softly, "I'll introduce you to someone later. His name is Zhao Xun."
There was another gambling game nearby, but Yun Ju'an didn't care.
Outside, Shen Xueyan and Wanqi Ruqing were waiting for Yun Zhuan, so Bai Ye asked her to go first and he would arrive later.
As expected of Bai Xiaosheng, this gambling game really opened Bai Ye’s eyes.
Yun Zhuan's identity has not been made public yet, and it is not yet time for it to be made public on a large scale.
This gamble is particularly thought-provoking.
Who will be the future Queen of Nanzhao?
Choice one, Nan Wu, choice two, Nan Qi, choice three, a country cannot be established without a family.
A gambling game next to it almost made Bai Ye laugh out loud.
The future of Nanzhao could be: independence, puppetry, or division.
That would be really outrageous.
Bai Ye took out his own money bag and asked the manor with gritted teeth:
"What are the odds?"
He knew that Wenshan Mohai was not just the Wanqi family's industry. Other families would also receive dividends. If his expectations were correct, the other family would most likely be the Jiang family.
The Jiang family was indeed a dilapidated merchant family.
Zhuang Jia was sweating. How could he not recognize who was in front of him?
But he could only say obediently: "Mr. Bai, the odds are 1 to 20."
Bai Ye'e put all his wealth on the two choices of Nan Qiao and independence, and warned him:
"Don't tell anyone, got it?"
"Tell the Jiang family that they'd better prepare the money for me! Otherwise, I will come to their house in person to ask for it!"
Since he could set up this situation, Bai Ye wouldn't mind making a fortune.
Bai Ye turned around, dragging the four-wheeled vehicle by himself, and for a moment there was a certain gloomy calm.
If you fail, you will die.
If he fails, he will sacrifice his life for his country and will not need these material possessions.
When Yun Xu'an was sent away by Bai Ye, he was still a little confused. Wanqi Ruqing and Shen Xueyan were smart and pointed in the direction behind them. Yun Xu'an then found that Bai Ye turned around and went to the gambling room near the back.
I was confused for a moment, and then the two men took me to the inner room next to the gambling room.
She heard very clearly what Bai Ye did behind her back.
It turned out to be two such gambles. Yun Zhuan was not angry in his heart, but he just felt a little strange. After all, the life that others cherished and could even be called an ambition was used as a gamble, which was somewhat frustrating.
Yun Zhuan's anger came quickly, and she was even more surprised when Bai Ye recognized her so firmly.
Bai Ye chose her and Nanzhao's independence without hesitation, which was the best recognition of her. Perhaps Bai Ye chose to believe in himself, but how could one not be moved by what Bai Ye did for her?
Yun Ju'an took a deep breath. Shen Xueyan looked at Yun Ju'an's face, which was a little gloomy and his eyes were slightly red. Naturally, she understood something.
He had already known from Bai Ye what Yun Ju'an's true identity was. No wonder Bai Ye had asked Shen Huai, his father, to resolutely choose to sell Shen Xueyan to Yun Ju'an to do things.
This turned out to be the reason, so Shen Xueyan was not only surprised, but also moved by Bai Ye's foresight.
Wanqi Ruqing was a little annoyed. This literati casino was not under the management of the Wanqi family. If Yun Zhuan blamed the Wanqi family, they would be in big trouble!
"Your Highness..." Wanqi Ruqing was about to explain but was stopped by Yun Jianan.
She gritted her teeth just like Bai Ye did just now:
"I can vent my anger only when Jiang Shinian comes back!"
Wanqi Ruqing closed his mouth with a look of happiness, and Shen Xueyan said:
"Mr. Bai is still waiting at the inn to recommend a consultant to His Highness. We should hurry up. We will be leaving Wenshan Mohai soon. We should settle all the matters concerning our stay here as soon as possible."
Yun Zhuan nodded randomly and instructed Wanqi Ruqing:
"Send a message to your mother and ask her to keep a close eye on Nan Wu's movements. Other than that, place people in Bei Chu as soon as possible. Don't worry about anything else for now. Once I get the military power of Yuan County, we can start."
The chaos in the court of Northern Chu left them no time to pay attention to their own actions.
If they wanted to take any action, she would directly lead the war to Biansha, divert the disaster eastwards, and the tribes near the Chi tribe would be enough to give Beichu a heavy drink!
