Chapter 18: Won the Money...

  Li Feng and others looked at Meng Haizhou one after another. Among these people, Meng Haizhou's gambling skills were the most exquisite, and he also had some experience with dice listening. Especially since this was his own specially prepared dice, he naturally had a lot of confidence. Everyone was holding back their strength, determined to make Jun Xie lose as soon as possible!

  Meng Haizhou's closed eyes suddenly opened, and he said confidently: "Big!" As he spoke, he took out 50,000 taels of silver notes and pressed them onto Da. Li Feng and the others followed suit, all pressing their money onto Da, with a look of anticipation on their faces, eager to see the show.

  Tang Yuan was shocked by the sight, he knew that Jun Xie now only had 500,000 taels of silver bills with him. If he lost, he feared that even this shop would not be enough to cover the debt!

  With a flick of his wrist, the dice flipped silently and swiftly. Jun Xie yelled out lazily, "Place your bets, last chance... now!" The dice cup was lifted, revealing three dice with one showing two dots and two showing one dot, totaling only four points, a small number!

  Meng Haizhou's face changed drastically! How is this possible, he clearly heard that at least one of the three dice was a six, with a 90% chance of being big, but when it opened, there wasn't a single six. Had he been careless and mistaken one point for six?!

  Jun Xie bluntly took all the silver tickets in front of everyone and handed them over. He first gave Du Gu Xiao Yi ten taels of silver, then pulled out a thousand taels and handed it to her: "Miss Dugu, congratulations on your good fortune! Thank you for your good luck, apart from the red envelope, I'll give you another thousand taels as a gift!"

  Dugu Xiaoyi held the silver ticket in her small hand, and couldn't help but smile with joy. Her big eyes narrowed into a line. With great camaraderie, she patted Jun Xie's shoulder: "Well done, Jun Xiazi! Next time I'll bet on you again! This thousand taels, all on you!" She completely forgot that the person in front of her was someone she extremely disliked, a supercilious young master...

  Li Feng smiled dryly and said, "Third Master is really lucky, winning from the start." But secretly he gave Meng Haizhou a questioning glance. Meng Haizhou's face was heavy with worry, shaking his head, clearly he also didn't know what was going on!

  Jun Xie has already taken the hallucinogen, and the dice are his usual 'Water Jade' dice, could it be just a coincidence? However, his own skill with the dice is not extremely high, so it's also possible that he misheard. Anyway, it's just one round, as long as he wins back later, there's plenty of time and money...

  But in the next few rounds, Jun Xie was still confused and killed four sides, winning continuously. The silver notes in front of him suddenly opened up a meeting, a high stack, already had three million two hundred thousand, with Dugu Xiao Yi had won a total of twenty thousand two silver notes, as for Li brothers and Meng brothers, everyone's face was earthy color.

  "You, you, you... You're cheating! You're a swindler!" Li Zhen's face turned bright red as he stood up, his anger bursting out. He had lost over 700,000 silver notes and was left with only a few pitiful ones. His finger pointed at Jun Xie, his face flushed with rage.

  Not to mention Li Zhen, even Meng Haizhou became increasingly suspicious. How could he have guessed wrong again and again? On the other hand, Jun Xie seemed more and more confused, but why did he keep winning as if he had the god of wealth on his side? One or two coincidences might be possible, but so many coincidences were simply inexplicable!

  "If you don't have money, then get out! If you can't afford to lose, then don't play!" Jun Xie didn't even look at him, his nose pointing towards the sky, disdainfully saying: "When catching a thief, one must catch the loot; when catching an adulterer, one must catch both parties; which eye of yours saw me cheating? Dugu Miss is an expert, sitting right next to me, do I have any chance to make any moves?"

  Li Zhen glared at him fiercely, almost swallowing him whole, but Jun Xie pulled in Dugu Xiao Yi, and with the guilt already in their hearts, he was immediately silenced!

  Dugu Xiaoyi didn't really understand the rules, and even more so wasn't some kind of expert in cheating, but she had always bet on Jun Xie. In these few rounds, she had already won 20,000 taels, and was feeling elated when she heard this and couldn't help but curl her lip: "How boring! When you win, you laugh and hurry others to go get the rescue troops, and when you lose, you say others are cheating. The Li family really can do it! I'm right next to Jun Xie, he's just normally rolling the dice. How is this done with sleight of hand? What's called cheating?"

  "Who... drove others away to get reinforcements?" Li Zhen was somewhat out of breath.

  " Him!" Dugu Xiao Yi pointed at Tang Yuan: "He went to call Jun Mo Xie over, if it wasn't for the reinforcements he brought, that would be strange! Moreover, with such a lively gamble, the famous gambler Tang Da Shao is just watching, this explains that you several have already won him dry! He has no more silver on him and that's why he's not gambling! Do you really think I'm stupid?"

  Everyone was somewhat surprised, didn't expect this usually fiery little pepper to have such careful thoughts!

  ……

  The Grand Tutor's Mansion.

  "Report to Your Highness, Jun Mo Xie has entered the Qian Jin Hall, but he is still accompanied by Dugu Xiao Yi from the Dugu Sect." a guard reported.

  "Dugu Xiao Yi? How would she go to Qian Jin Hall?" Li You Ran slightly furrowed her brow, asking in surprise.

  "It was an unexpected encounter on the road, and Dugu Miss even beat up Jun Moxie, eventually forcing him to take her to Qianjin Hall." The guard hid in the dark, watching the whole process clearly.

  "Even if there was no prior arrangement, the variables have already changed, you can't blame me!…… This kid's luck is really not bad!" Li You Ran took a deep breath and smiled lightly: "Since that's the case, you immediately go notify Li Feng, Li Zhen, and Meng Haizhou, today's plan is cancelled, let them find an excuse to slip away, even if they lose some it doesn't matter, must reschedule another meeting with Jun Mo Xie. Go."

  "Yes!" The guard responded with one word and rushed out like flying.

  "Not bad! Decisive and bold, just like everyone's style." Li Shang chuckled, "With Dugu Xiaoyi around, you shouldn't have fallen into our trap according to the original plan. If Dugu Xiaoyi goes back and tells them, those old guys will realize it and become alert, which would be counterproductive. So, giving up is the most correct choice! Moreover, being won over by that young master a little bit doesn't matter, it can even help him grow more arrogant, making it easier for our next plan!"

  Li You Ran smiled lightly, her heart moved slightly, wondering if Jun Mo Xie had intentionally brought Dugu Xiao Yi along. But as soon as she thought about it, she found it ridiculous - with Jun Mo Xie's foolishness, how could he possibly have such a clever mind?

  Looks like this guy's luck is really good today!

  Li You Ran didn't know, at this moment, it was already too late!

  It's no longer something that can be solved by just losing a little bit!

  Qianjintang Inside

  Next, due to Li Zhen's protest, the crowd changed the gambling method three times in a row. The arrogant and domineering shouts made the six big gamblers so angry that they were about to spit out smoke from their seven orifices, with sharp tongues and poisonous words, but under the table, they were actually losing badly, and Li Zhen won one by one, leaving them with empty pockets!

  Jun Mo Xie was triumphantly counting the silver bills with a smile, while Dugu Xiao Yi was busy dividing the spoils as if no one was around. A large pile of silver bills lay before them, and several people across from them stared in shock, sitting like wooden chickens. Seeing Jun Mo Xie's exaggerated actions as he counted the silver bills one by one, they were almost angry enough to hurt their livers.

  That's all ours!

  Taking advantage of Jun Xie's inattention, Dugu Xiao Yi quickly snatched a handful of silver tickets, worth at least over a million taels, and swiftly stuffed them into her own towering bosom. With a proud and upright chest, she hummed: "Jun Xie, you only won this time because I was by your side to bring you good luck. I'll just take a little more, you won't mind, will you?"

  You've already put it in your pocket, I just grabbed it and played with it, how could I care? Rubbing his nose and smiling bitterly: "I don't care, how could I care. If Miss Dugu hadn't brought good luck to me, how could I have killed so many people, it's only right, it's only right."

  Dugu Xiao Yi's eyes lit up, and her small tiger teeth were exposed again: "Then... can I catch another one?"

  Jun was startled and glanced at her sideways: "Young lady, you've collected your winnings from the bet, and I've also collected my losses. One can't be so shameless!"

  "Hehehe…… I was just teasing you, and you got so worked up over such a small amount of money! Hmph!" Dugu Xiao Yi laughed with great joy, feeling that coming out today was absolutely the right decision. Not only did she get to satisfy her gambling craving, but she also suddenly had such a substantial income! Adding her own bet and the one she just snatched away, her pure earnings were nearly 200,000 taels! What bliss!

  Is that a small amount of money? Several tens of thousands, is that still a small amount of money? The fatty next to him also wanted to get a share, but after watching for a while, he really didn't have the nerve to make a move. He looked at Jun Xie with a pitiful expression, but Jun Xie didn't even give him a straight look. Suddenly feeling extremely depressed, he thought to himself that as a man, he couldn't just snatch it like a little girl would.

  You're sulking in your heart, aren't you? You say you're a big fat guy over 400 pounds, but you make this delicate and resentful little wife's expression, does it suit you? It's just like having a bitter melon on top of a pig's head. I was going to give you some pocket money, but looking at your face... I took it back!
