The melon-eating swordsman in the ancient dragon world.

Chapter 615: First Meeting in Kuaiyi Hall

"Sir, where are we going?"

“Jinan!”

Jin Banhua whipped the horse and couldn't help thinking of Shen Bijun.

The banks of Daming Lake in Jinan are the hometown of Shen Bijun, this beautiful, gentle, simple and kind woman. I walked across the country hand in hand with her.

They traveled across the south of the Yangtze River, went to the desert, felt the sea breeze, walked across the grassland, killed Xiaoyao Hou together to avenge their parents, watched Feng Siniang's love triangle farce hand in hand, and fought wits and strategies with Geshu Bing. They lived a happy and fun life.

"When the time comes, all rivers will return to the sea. They won't bully Bijun, right?"

"It's okay, Bingbing will help."

Jin Banhua shuddered inexplicably, and put aside the ominous sense of crisis, and laughed out loud, "I heard that there is a Kuaiyi Hall in Jinan, which is quite famous?"

Ye Jin immediately replied, "Jinan Kuaiyi Hall is the property of Zhusha Sect, and is run by Zhusha Sect's chief disciple, Fenmian Mengchang Lengqiuhun. It has been thriving in recent years and is the largest den of illicit money in Jinan."

Liao Gang continued, "The leader of the Vermillion Sect is the assassin scholar Ximen Qian, but he has not been involved in the sect's affairs for a long time. In the past two or three years, Leng Qiuhun has actually been in charge of the Vermillion Sect."

Although these two men are not very skilled in martial arts, they are used to traveling around the world, have many friends, and are well-informed. They can tell you something about the more popular news in the northern martial arts world.

“Although Kuaiyi Hall is large, it is still not as good as Sanxinyuan, Xiaoyaolou, and Kaihuaitang in the capital.” Ye Jin said, “Although Jinan is prosperous, it is far inferior to the capital.”

"It doesn't matter. We're tired of staying in the capital. Let's go and see some different scenery!" Jin Banhua said with a smile.

……

The three men and three horses quickly followed the official road all the way to Jinan Prefecture.

The Jinan Prefecture in Chu Liuxiang's world is different from the Jinan Prefecture in Xiao Shiyilang's world. There is no Shenjia Village here, nor the legend of the Golden Needle Shen Family.

However, the Guanhe Tower was still there. Jin Banhua toured Daming Lake without Yang Kaitai's interruption. Finally, she bought the local Taishan Qinghe Ganquan wine from the big boat in the Guanhe Tower.

"Hmm..." Jin Banhua smacked her lips, "It's indeed a little sour, no wonder it's not as famous as Lanlingchun."

Liao Gang was a little embarrassed. He looked at the sky and said to Jin Banhua, "It's getting dark, and Kuaiyi Hall will be open soon."

Jin Banhua's eyes lit up and she gathered her thoughts, "Let's go! Let's try our luck!"

Ye Jin advised, "Sir, let's just play around. Although Kuaiyitang is the largest casino in Jinan, it is full of good and bad people, and there may be experts."

"Don't worry!" Jin Banhua patted Ye Jin's shoulder and said with a smile, "Don't forget, the master who taught me the small grappling technique is also a master of this technique. I learned several tricks from him!"

Ye Jin smiled bitterly, but did not dare to persuade him anymore.

I thought to myself, go ahead and gamble, the Jin family in the capital has been wealthy for generations anyway, so even if I lose hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, it won’t matter much.

Then the three of them arrived at Kuaiyi Hall.

As the lights came on, the three golden characters "Kuaiyitang" written in a flamboyant style sparkled under the lights.

As you enter the hall, you can hear shouting and yelling, and the air is filled with the smell of alcohol, cigarettes, and cosmetics. Not only is the hall bustling with people, but even the side hall across the courtyard and porch is brightly lit.

Jin Banhua walked in with Liao Gang and Ye Jin. He frowned immediately and fanned himself in front of his face with his sleeves.

Then, a man with oily hair and powdered face came up to greet him immediately. "Excuse me, sir, what is your name? Is this your first time in Kuaiyi Hall?"

Jin Banhua glanced at the man and said, "Why, you ask for my identity just to gamble?"

"No, no, it's just that judging from your demeanor, you will definitely not play with these rough guys in the hall. But the people in the flower hall are all famous wealthy guests in the city..." The man smiled respectfully.

But Jin Banhua sneered, "So that's how it is. So there's no expert in your gang to look after the place?" "It turns out that the biggest casino in Jinan is just this kind of stuff. It's really far inferior to Sanxinyuan and Xiaoyaolou in Beijing." Jin Banhua shook his head, then looked around and said, "The girl's quality is not good either."

The man's eyes lit up, "Young Master, are you from the capital?"

Liao Gang snorted, "Our young master is also a wealthy family in the capital. He is giving you face by coming to your Kuaiyi Hall to play!"

"Since he is a wealthy young man in the capital, he will definitely tell me..."

Jin Banhua raised her hand to interrupt the man's compliment and said with a smile, "If you can guess my identity, I will play here. If you can't guess it, I don't mind changing places."

The man was stunned when he heard this, and cold sweat broke out on his temples.

I took the initiative to welcome it. If I let a really big fat fish go, the responsibility would be quite a lot.

"Hahaha!"

A loud laugh was heard, and two big men in black opened the door curtain, and a pale-faced young man in an emerald green gown strode out. "I've heard that Mr. Jin from the capital is handsome, generous and cheerful. After meeting him today, I find that his reputation is well-deserved!"

Jin Banhua looked at the newcomer, raised her eyebrows and asked, "How did you recognize me?"

The young man bowed and smiled, "Young Master Jin rarely leaves the capital, but this brother Ye beside you is known as the Iron Leg that Shocks Yanshan. I once had the honor of meeting him in the capital. I heard that he works in the Jin Mansion, so I know him."

Jin Banhua looked at Ye Jin in surprise, "Your title is quite overbearing."

Ye Jin was humble but proud, "It's all because of my friends in the underworld. They called me for fun because I killed a few Yanshan bandits."

"No matter how much you praise him for being chivalrous and righteous, it's never too much." Jin Banhua nodded, then turned to the young man opposite, "I guess you must be Mr. Leng, the eldest senior brother of the Vermillion Sect, right?"

"Mr. Jin, you are too polite. This lobby and even the flower hall are not worthy of your status. It so happens that there are a few wealthy people from Jinan in the hall, and they will be the perfect match for you to sit at the same table." Leng Qiuhun took a step back and stretched out his hand to invite them.

"please!"

Jin Banhua laughed and walked in front without hesitation. Under the guidance of Leng Qiuhun, she walked into the innermost room.

This is indeed the quietest and most luxurious inner hall. There are only seven or eight gamblers, but more than a dozen beautiful girls. There is no gold or silver on the table, and all that passes through are large silver bills starting from one thousand taels.

Leng Qiuhun came in with Jin Banhua and introduced the wealthy guests present to him. They were either the owners of the Jinan City Joint Rice Shop or the bosses of the largest silk and satin shops. Each of them had a net worth of no less than one million.

Jin Banhua sat down and casually put his arms around the two girls who came to him. He shook his head to refuse the tea handed to him by the first girl, drank a sip of the wine brought by the second girl, and then casually took out a stack of silver bills.

The boldness is beyond words!
……

Jin Banhua played with these gamblers, winning and losing, while wondering when Chu Liuxiang would come over.

The first story of "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" tells the story of how Chu Liuxiang uncovered Wuhua's conspiracy and became a great benefactor of the Beggars' Sect and Shaolin.

Well, that’s still a great summary!

In the original novel, Chu Liuxiang accidentally discovered the bodies of Zuo Youzheng of the Tianxing Gang, Ximen Qian of the Crimson Sect, Lingjiuzi of the Hainan Sword School, and Zhamuhe, the King of the Desert. He was also wrongly accused by Gong Nanyue of stealing the Tianyi Divine Water, so he decided to investigate the truth.

The first place he approached was the Zhusha Gate in Jinan Prefecture, hoping to get information from Leng Qiuhun.

While Jin Banhua was thinking, she saw Leng Qiuhun hurried out. A moment later, he came in with a burly man in brocade clothes who had a purple face, short beard, and a dignified appearance, holding two large iron balls in his hands.

"This is the largest ginseng dealer in the Changbai Mountain area, Brother Zhang Xiaolin!" Leng Qiuhun introduced to everyone, "Brother Zhang rarely comes to the border. Today he arrived in Jinan and wanted to play a hand."

Jin Banhua rubbed her hands. She didn't expect that she had such good luck today.
