save the bachelors

Chapter 4185 4187 [Rights and Wrongs]

The next day, Tiedan Shenhou went to the Tianlao to see Gu Santong.

Xiang Nan did not go with them because he didn't even need to go because he knew what Shen Hou and Gu Santong would say.

To Shen Hou, Gu Santong was his prisoner, imprisoned on the ninth floor of the Heavenly Prison, where he could only survive by eating spiders, mice and cockroaches.

Seeing his miserable state, Shen Hou was very happy. He went to see Gu Santong not out of friendship, but just to see Gu Santong's joke.

Although Gu Santong was defeated by Shen Hou, he was still unwilling to accept it. He was not convinced that his martial arts skills were inferior to Shen Hou, but he hated that his strategy was not good enough, so he lost to Shen Hou by half a move.

So when he saw the Divine Candidate, he naturally would not admit defeat, nor would he even bow his head. So the two of them were destined to have a verbal fight, which was nothing more than a trash talk.

Xiang Nancai had no time to listen. After paying respect to the gods in the morning, he set off for Shennongjia.

Firstly, Shennongjia has dense vegetation and abundant plant essence; secondly, Tianxiang cardamom was a tribute from the small country Tianxiang outside the Great Wall. Tianxiang is located in the Western Regions today, and the climate there three thousand years ago was very different from what it is now.

The water and grass were lush and the climate was humid. Lakes like Lop Nur, Manas Lake, Taitema Lake, etc., were all large lakes covering hundreds of square kilometers. The climate at that time was not much different from that of Shennongjia.

So Xiang Nan planned to plant the cardamom there.

……

After arriving at Shennongjia, Xiang Nan went deep into the dense forest and found a place with the densest vegetation and the most abundant herbal essence.

He then set up formations around him to gather the essence of plants and trees to one point, and then planted the fragrant cardamom at that point.

In this way, nourished by the essence of plants, this natural cardamom should take root and sprout quickly.

In order to prevent being disturbed by birds, beasts, insects and humans, Xiang Nan specially set up a protective spell to completely hide the Tianxiang Doukou.

Even if insects, birds, animals, or humans pass by, they cannot see this heavenly fragrant flower, and cannot even get close to it.

Only after the planting was completed did Xiang Nan return to Hulong Villa.

From then on, he would check on the cardamom every now and then to make sure it could take root, sprout, bloom and bear fruit.

Afterwards, Xiang Nan cast a transformation spell on himself, turning himself into an old man with gray hair and wrinkled face, and then came to Hongyun Casino.

He knew that it was on this day that Cheng Shifei was sold to Eunuch Sun in the palace to be a eunuch by He Sheng, the owner of this casino.

The purpose of his coming here was to ensure that Cheng Shifei would really be sold into the palace.

First, although Cheng Shifei is cynical and careless in his conduct and work, he is not a bad person at heart. He is a boy with a bottom line and deserves help.

Secondly, Cheng Shifei, Gui Hai Yidao and Duan Tianya have a life-or-death friendship. If Cheng Shifei loses his adventure due to some mistake, Xiang Nan will feel sorry for him, not to mention Gui Hai Yidao. At that time, the reward for completing the mission will be reduced.

Moreover, Xiang Nan also needed Cheng Shifei to learn the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art. In this way, even if Shen Hou really rebelled, he and Cheng Shifei would be able to defeat Shen Hou together.

……

When he arrived at Hongyun Casino, Xiang Nan mingled with the other gamblers and started gambling together.

He took a few hundred coins to gamble, not caring about winning or losing, and soon it was noon.

Then someone shouted, "Zhang Laosan, you're here again. Did you bring enough silver today?"

"Of course I brought so much money with me, I'm sure I can make a profit today." One person said proudly, shaking his purse.

When Xiang Nan heard the name "Zhang Laosan", he turned his head to look at the entrance of the casino, and sure enough, he saw a man in his forties holding a bulging purse in his hand with a smug look on his face.

Xiang Nan recognized at a glance that this person was Cheng Shifei's friend Zhang Laosan. Both of them were hooligans in the market, often cheating, eating, drinking and gambling together.

"Zhang Laosan is here, how far is success?" Xiang Nan thought to himself, and then he saw Zhang Laosan coming to the dice table, ready to gamble with the dice.

Xiang Nan saw this and quietly came forward. He wanted to make sure that Zhang Laosan lost money, so that he would mortgage Cheng Shifei to the casino to pay off his debt.

Therefore Xiang Nan also came to the dice table.

Not only did he have amazing gambling skills, he also had amazing hearing and the ability to see through things. He knew exactly whether the dice would result in a big or a small draw.

So if Zhang Laosan bets big, he will make the dice show small; if Zhang Laosan bets small, he will make the dice show big; if Zhang Laosan bets both big and small, he will make the dice show leopard...

Therefore, within a short while, Zhang Laosan had lost all his money and even borrowed fifty taels of silver from the casino. Of course, the result was that he lost everything.

He was so upset after losing, "Why am I so unlucky today? I haven't won a single game since I came here."

But the debt still needs to be repaid, otherwise, He Sheng, the owner of Hongyun Casino, is not someone you can easily mess with.

Not only does he have many thugs under his command, but he also has connections with the government. Even if he kills someone, he doesn't take it seriously.

Just when Zhang Laosan was worrying about his life, a young man about twenty years old walked in.

He looked miserable and had a bruised face from being beaten.

Xiang Nan recognized him at a glance; he was Cheng Shifei.

"Zhang Laosan~" He came to Zhang Laosan.

"Oh, I told you not to go. Look how you got beaten." Zhang Laosan said when he saw this.

It turned out that they had just pretended to be father and son, fighting in the street to attract passers-by to watch the fun, and they took advantage of the chaos to steal other people's wallets.

As a result, Cheng Shifei found a kind old lady who only had eight cents in her purse and gave him two cents. He felt sorry for her and returned the old lady's purse.

But at this time people had already discovered that their wallet had been stolen, so when they saw Cheng Shifei again, they rushed forward and beat him up.

"It doesn't matter. I feel good about it." Cheng Shifei said indifferently.

Xiang Nan nodded when he saw this.

……

"How about it, how much did you win?" Cheng Shifei asked again with concern.

Zhang Laosan's eyes rolled, and he immediately had an idea, "I won a little. So, I want to go out and buy a phoenix hairpin for my wife. You wait here for me."

"Okay, go ahead." The young man nodded.

Zhang Laosan then went to the casino owner and said, "Boss He, I'm going to raise money to pay off my debts. I'll leave my son here as a pawn."

"Okay, remember, you must pay me sixty taels of silver, including principal and interest, before closing at night, otherwise you will have no son to carry on the family line." Casino owner He Sheng looked at him and said.

"Yes, yes, I will definitely come back." Zhang Laosan agreed readily and then slipped away.

Cheng Shifei was totally unaware that he had been sold out, and he was still foolishly joining in the fun at the gambling table. Although he had no money to bet, it was fun to watch others gamble and satisfy his craving.

It was dark and almost curfew, and the gamblers went home one after another, and Cheng Shifei also wanted to go back to sleep.

As soon as he reached the door, he was stopped by the casino owner He Sheng and his men, "Where are you going? You can't leave!"
